Alta Vista fire station to close Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Ottawa’s fire chief is recommending Station 36 and Station 55 in the city’s east end be consolidated into one new station as early as 2017, and for another new station be built in north Kanata three years later.

Fire chief Gerry Pingi-

tore made the recommendations at a technical briefing on June 11, ahead of the release of a three-year fire station location study.

The city won’t actually gain more stations if the changes are approved as for each new station being built, an old one is being closed.

Ottawa police drug investigators took loaded guns, ammo, a switchblade, bulletproof vest, cash and drugs off city streets following an almost month-long investigation.

“When you look at those kinds of items it just emphasizes the potential violent nature of the criminal drug subculture. These guys have these weapons for a reason. They have bulletproof vests for a reason,” said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the police drug unit.

The drug trade “is a violent business and when you look at the tools of the trade that we recovered in this particular investigation I think it definitely highlights that,” he said Beginning in mid-May, his officers conducted surveillance of suspects, gathered intelligence and followed up on leads they say led them to the 1200-block of St. Laurent Boulevard near the St. Laurent Shopping Centre where three men were arrested on June 9 around 7:30 p.m.

Their Volkswagen Jetta was seized along with $7,380 in cash, 18 grams of cocaine with a street value of $1,800, 100 grams of marijuana valued at $1,000 and 186 or $3,720 worth of Oxycodone pills.

Within hours of making that haul, drug officers followed tactical police into a home where one of the suspects lives in the 800-block of Norton Avenue at Carling Avenue in the west end, where they executed a Controlled Drugs and Substance Act warrant and seized almost 1,400 grams of marijuana, valued at approximately $14,000, off the streets.

Then, around 3 a.m. on June 10, the team swooped in on another suspect’s residence in the 1800-block of Russell Road in the Elmvale Acres area and found a loaded Colt Python .357calibre revolver, a loaded Forehand & Wadsworth .32-calibre revolver, a switchblade, bulletproof vest, a box of .38-calibre ammunition, 29 unidentified pills and a little more than four grams of marijuana.

The quantity of drugs seized by the team was “significant,” but the real coup for police was the loaded handguns.

“Anytime you can take those kinds of things off the road, it’s a very successful conclusion to an investigation,” said McDonell.

Three Ottawa men, ages 30, 20 and 21, are each facing three charges related

to possession of controlled substances for the purposes of trafficking.

The 21- and 20-year-olds have also each been charged with several firearms offences, including possession of a firearm obtained by crime.

The 20-year-old faces a charge related to possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000. The 21-year-old was also charged with three counts of possession of ammunition and firearms while prohibited due to previous courtordered conditions.

They both were expected to appear in court on June 10.

The 30-year-old suspect was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on July 8.

GANG COLOURS

While McDonell said those arrested may not wear street-gang colours, he suspects their activity is connected to the drug business that is the bread and butter of Ottawa’s street gangs.

“It’s all the same big bad business,” he said. “One way or the other it’s all connected. It’s a big ugly web.”

In the wake of last year’s recordsetting 49 shootings, five drug officers have been seconded to the police guns and gangs unit since Christmas to provide their drug expertise “because that’s what’s at the core of the gang problem,” McDonell said. “It’s all about money.

It’s all about power and control.”

Traffic officers and other units across the police service have also been actively involved in combating the violence, and as a result there has been a “drastic reduction” in the number of shootings. There have been 15 so far this year.

McDonell’s team has been focusing on lower-level suspects in the drug trade who have firearms at their disposal.

By taking those people off the streets, it has a domino effect in reducing the rate of violent crime.

“They’re (incarcerated) on a drug charge. They’re held on a show-cause (hearing) because we found a gun.

They’re not out shooting people.”

A number of people considered persons of interest to the guns and gangs unit at the beginning of the year are now facing significant jail terms.

“You take a half-dozen of these guys off the streets, it’s going to have a huge impact, which we’ve been fortunate to see so far,” McDonell said.

None of the criminal charges laid by police in this investigation have been proven in court.

When high-ranking military officers face off against Ottawa-area journalists in a hockey game on June 19, more than one winner will emerge.

The third-annual Commando Challenge, held at the University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex, will raise muchneeded funds in support of military families across the National Capital Region ,and beyond.

“We are very reliant on our community to help us support (families),” said Karen Hodge-Cunningham, who became CEO of the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region a little more than two months ago.

The centre provides for 11,000 military members and 18,000 dependents, from Cornwall to Carleton Place and east to Orléans, but also into Gatineau and the Outaouais.

“We are one of the biggest MFRC populations and catchment areas in Canada,” she said.

Scott Taylor, Esprit de Corps magazine publisher, left, Louise Hague, former executive director of the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region, Sarah Rozema-Seaton, the centre’s communications manager, and Lt.-Gen Jonathan Vance, incoming chief of defence staff, take part in a cheque presentation following the second-annual Commando Challenge at the Minto Sports Complex in 2014. The public is invited to watch the third-annual hockey game, which raises funds for the military family resource centre, on June 19.

But there is a growing need to provide additional programs to help families with their unique needs, wants and challenges, some of them due to moving so often from base to base. The MFRC is the only standalone non-profit dedicated to supporting military families, but it can’t do it alone.

“We’re it,” Hodge-Cunningham said.

“And my vision, and the vision of the

Last year’s hockey game generated $5,000, and the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region is hoping Friday’s on-ice competition – which is open to the public – will raise $7,500 to help it expand its range of programs and services.

For the first time, the non-profit organization is set to launch an annual fundraising campaign with a goal of $375,000.

The centre, which is based at the former CFB Uplands, with satellites in a number of communities, including Orléans and Stittsville – with more in the works – has big plans, some of which are just now being put in place.

“Military families are already very resilient, they are exceptionally strong,” Hodge-Cunningham said.

For the love of the game

T

hree years ago, my two eldest children sat glued to the television during the 2012 Olympics in London.

They cried tears of defeat when the Canadian national women’s soccer team lost to the U.S. A few days later, hands pumped in the air, as we watched the same team topple France 1-0 for the Olympic bronze medal.

From that moment, my two eldest children had soccer role models. One, who likes to score big, watches Canada’s team captain, Christine Sinclair.

The other, a goalkeeper, keeps his eye on Katrina LeBlanc, the longest-serving player in Canadian soccer history.

Yes, my eldest children are boys.

And yes, the success of Canadian women’s soccer has not only renewed their interest in a sport they were thinking of quitting three years ago, but made them think that perhaps, one day, they could play competitively for Canada.

Fast forward to the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Four games in at Lansdowne Park, my kids feel like they’ve already won the lottery. Following Germany’s crushing 10-0 defeat over Ivory Coast, the kids didn’t take too much time celebrate the victory of their second favourite team. Instead, they analyzed the skill of the players. They saw how the ball moved constantly on German feet, how specific and anticipated their passes

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse were, and how it seemed there were twice as many German players than Ivory Coast players on the field. Over the next few days they practiced with each other in the backyard, trying to emulate the slide tackles and steady dribbling of the number one women’s team in the world.

There is no doubt that seeing some of the best soccer athletes in the world on our home turf will have an impact on the next generation of soccer players -- boys and girls -- in a profound way.

Organizers of the Ottawa venue are making sure of it. They’re using the tournament to cement lifelong love for a sport which -- with 493,000 registered players in Ontario, alone -already has the distinction as the most popular children’s recreational sport in Canada.

When ticket sales opened in September last year, local soccer clubs were given first chance to purchase passports to the FIFA Women’s World

Cup. In the winter, local clubs again got dibs on significantly discounted bulk tickets weeks before the deal was offered to the general public.

Having a world tournament in Ottawa is going to inspire, but kids need something more than just role models to cement a lifelong love of soccer --- they need good training.

The Canada Soccer Association’s new development structure launched last year for that exact reason. The title of the program, Your Goals, Our Game, is a reflection of a long-term development plan designed to give kids more time to train at the youngest ages without pressure from parents and coaches, and to give them more control over their game.

At the heart of the development plan is giving kids space to learn before pushing them to win.

“We don’t expect kids to compete in spelling bees without first teaching them their ABCs,” the document states. “When activities and expectations don’t match with a child’s developmental stage, this can set them up for failure.”

Parents and coaches -- even those at recreational levels -- continue to undermine the development plan.

I witness it weekly at local games.

We may think we’re helping the kids by yelling commands like “pass the

national team.

And that’s why the Canadian national women’s team are the superstars, the role models for boys and girls.

A few days prior to the first game in Ottawa, local organizers were told they’d have to recruit not just two, but 22 local youth soccer players per game to serve as escorts and Canadian ambassadors for the elite international athletes.

“This is a glimpse into our future,” 16-year-old Chloe Doherty from Ottawa South United Soccer Association whispered to her teammate Meghan Tierney during an ambassador rehearsal at Lansdowne on June 11.

With the FIFA Women’s World Cup fresh in our memories, along with proper implementation of the development plan in Canadian soccer, it very likely is.

Deaf to the rule of law

I

t is troubling, if not surprising, that federal civil servants would have such distain for the law that they would place the interests of their department above the law, but that’s exactly what Robinson Village residents have discovered.

The neighbourhood, which sits across the Rideau River from the Canadian Police Information Centre at 1200 Vanier Pkwy., has been subjected to a barrage of low-frequency noise since 2011 when new rooftop chillers were installed. Following a series of studies that determined the units were generating enough of a racket that they violated the city’s noise bylaws, staff at Public Works and Government Services Canada determined a cheap fix that wasn’t adequate to solve the problem was all that was needed.

That’s what was deemed suitable by federal civil servants: a token gesture. This response, to install metal hoods above the chiller units at a cost of around $65,000, was chosen over several that would have fixed the problem yet at a cost of more than $400,000. While this may appear to be prudent management of public funds, it should be seen as a

disregard for the law.

No arm of the government is above the law. No civil servant, no politician, no judge – no one, really – should think that they are above the law in a country governed by the rule of law. If a study commissioned by public works identified several ways to fix the problem, which was a violation of the law, and the problem wasn’t fixed – as shown by a follow-up study – doing nothing isn’t the solution.

There also shouldn’t be a need for the intervention of the local member of Parliament, which still hasn’t solved the problem. In fact during a meeting between Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger and Public Works staff in October, an official said the department considered the issue resolved, despite the units still generating noise in excess of the bylaw.

This sort of distain should not be tolerated. Ottawa has enough to deal with when political decisions affect things like light rail routes and monument placements that it shouldn’t need to put up with a lack of respect for our laws.

We’re learning the art of slowing down

I

t is common these days to hear alarm expressed over the aging of the Canadian population.

There are going to be too many old folks, the argument goes, and that will put undue stress on the health care system and cause other problems, such as people who don’t move quickly enough for you at intersections.

To say nothing of all that Beatles music piped in to the senior citizens’ residences.

But there are benefits to the aging of the population, such as the availability of all those grandparents as babysitters. And there is another benefit that not enough people have looked at: the world is slowing down a bit and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town If you walk through a mall on any day and at any time, you’ll see groups of people sitting at tables having coffee and chatting. Most of the people are older, but not all. It’s as if younger people have learned something from their elders: You don’t need to be on the run every single minute. It’s good to stop and sit down for a while and just talk.

cities are full of cafes where people pause. You don’t see people hurrying along the street with styrofoam cups of coffee in their hands. They stop and sit down to drink it.

That art, the art of pausing, had seemed to be lost to North Americans. It seemed incompatible with the ethic of “I want it all and I want it now.� But the art of pausing may be returning. The proliferation of coffee shops is both cause and effect. Think of how many more places there are to have coffee than there were 20 years ago. We are developing a coffee culture and it’s hard to find anything to regret about that.

For one thing, it means there are places other than bars for people to stop and chat. More important, it means at any given moment fewer

people are hurrying, which can’t do any harm. It might even help, since not hurrying probably prolongs life, thereby increasing the supply of old people.

Looking at those tables at the mall and in neighbourhood coffee shops, you’ll see lots of those people.

One of the first things retired people discover is they have time for coffee, they have time to spend chatting with their friends. What do they talk about? Well, it could be pensions, inevitably. It could be the whereabouts of old friends. It could be the funny things that used to happen at the office. And it could be how fast everyone seems to be going these days.

Whatever they are chatting about, the big thing is they don’t have to grab a coffee on the run and slurp it in the car. They can stop.

So they do, and it has become contagious. Others have noticed those groups of laughing people around EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

LETTER

Community mailboxes need work To the editor,

I have followed with interest the debates over community mailboxes in Ottawa.

I grew up in rural Saskatchewan where we drove several miles to get the mail from our local post office and wince at those who feel a couple hundred yards is an odyssey.

When I lived in Regina for five years we had door-to-door mail service and then we lived in Winnipeg where we also had door-to-door mail.

I have lived in Orléans for 10 years now and use a community mailbox, so I have experienced most types of common mail delivery. Frankly it is far more convenient and far more secure in the community mailbox than having our mail in an outside box, especially if we are away for a day or two.

It is also more convenient

for picking up small packages, the way they put the key in your mailbox.

The challenge my neighbour and I have though is people disposing of unwanted flyers. They often try and jam them in and around the mailboxes rather than take them home and the first wind scatters them on our property.

About two years ago we put out an aluminum trash can with a lid and a garbage bag in it. We also chained it loosely and out of the way to the side of mailboxes so kids couldn’t run away with it.

This worked very well for several months and we noticed a lot of people dropping their flyers in responsibly and keeping the lid on.

We regularly emptied it into our paper recycling. Given this is also right in front of a bus stop we also noticed bus

patrons putting trash in rather than littering.

Then, one day the City of Ottawa showed up with some bolt cutters, cut off our chain and took away the garbage can. Apparently citizens are not allowed to be progressive and care about their property and community.

I don’t know where the brains are some days at city hall.

My only suggestion is that community mailboxes are not some great blight that many make them out to be, but it would be very helpful to have some method of collecting trash at them, be it paid city employees or neighbourhoodminded citizens.

It is time for a little common sense.

New stations to be built in Cyrville, Orléans, north Kanata Continued from page 1

In the east end, Station 36 on Industrial Avenue and Station 55 on Blair Road would both close and combine into one brand new Station 36 in 2017. It would likely be built at the city-owned public works garage on Cyrville Road near Innes, Pingitore said.

The fire training centre, currently based in the same facility as Station 36 in Alta Vista, “will continue to operate out of the Industrial (Avenue) location,” Pingatoire confirmed to Metroland Media.

At the same time, a new Station 55 would be built in the Mer Bleu area of southern Orléans.

In the west end, a larger station in north Kanata would replace the current Station 45 on Riddell Drive in 2020.

The new stations for Orléans and Kanata are needed due to rapid growth, Pingitore said, and will largely be paid for by development charges.

The Orléans station will cost about $5.2 million, according to a staff report, while

the Kanata and Cyrville locations would each cost $5.5 million.

Pingitore said $1 million is budgeted to hire 10 new fulltime firefighters to help staff the new growth stations.

It’s not yet clear what the city will do with its three abandoned fire stations come 2017 and 2020, but Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney is already eyeing up Station 55 in Pineview for a potential overhaul.

“The Pineview community has no community centre right now,” Tierney said. “Rather than going out and putting the expense on the taxpayer to build a brand new centre, this is the chance to say, ‘Let’s make lemonade out of lemons.’”

RESPONSE TIMES

The station location study grew out of the service’s accreditation process, which prompted a switch to a new response-time standard.

The new standards follow the best practices endorsed by

the Ontario Fire Marshal, the Metro Fire Chiefs Association and the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, Pingitore said.

Currently, response times are measured by the first truck on scene, and then it’s a “wait and see” approach to deploy extra trucks and firefighters as the fire progresses. Pingitore said the new standards would instead be based on risk level – taking building type, population density and building density into account to decide how many firefighters should be deployed right off the bat.

“It’s more about providing an efficient, effective response force within the response standard time,” he said.

Those times vary based on risk and geography.

In the urban area, a dumpster fire would be considered a low-risk call, and would require four firefighters to arrive in between four and five minutes. High-risk fires, like at a hospital or school, would garner 25 firefighters who would be expected to all be on scene within eight and 10.5

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Ottawa’s fire chief is recommending that Station 36 on Industrial Avenue be shuttered and consolidated along with Pineview Station 55 at a new station in Cyrville in 2017. The fire service’s training centre, currently based in the same Industrial Avenue facility as Station 36, will remain in operation. minutes.

Outside the urban area, the benchmark responses get longer – between 10 and 13 minutes for a house or apartment fire in the suburbs, for example, and between 14 and

Chickens enjoy weekend trip

G

MARY COOK Memories lovely name Primrose Beauty Shoppe on a painted sign over the door? Uncle George, I was sure, was just as important as the mayor. He had his very own office in the Town Hall, and Mother said he knew where every manhole and light switch was in the entire town of Gananoque. Yes, very important indeed were my Aunt Edith and Uncle George.

I knew we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time in the little apartment they lived in over the beauty parlour – we would be heading out in Uncle George’s launch, going over to their

very own island.

We had to carry everything down to the harbour, where this enormous boat, which I was sure could hold half of Renfrew County, was tied up. It had to be big, because Aunt Edith would never leave her cat, or her chickens alone in town if she was staying somewhere overnight. And we would be bedded down in the Cosh cottage, which gave me a gnawing pain in the pit of my stomach. Some of it was excitement, but most of it was plain fear.

The boat ride alone was reason enough to cause me to panic. By the time we loaded the six chickens, unrestrained, Sandy the cat, and all the food and our box of clothes into the boat, it sunk into the St. Lawrence with not more than four inches of boat left out of the water.

any better, hoisted our cardboard box of clothes onto the boards, and they heaved up at the other end, and if she hadn’t been so quick, our change of clothes would have gone down to the bottom of the river.

The chickens seemed to know what was expected of them, and they headed for a little wire closed-in plot with Aunt Edith cooing to them as if they knew exactly what she was saying. She put river water in a bowl, grain in two pie plates, and a couple of apple cores she had in a brown paper bag, said a few kind words, unwrapped Sandy from around her neck, and announced we would be eating as soon as she could find the box that had all the food in it.

It didn’t take all day to discover the box of food was somewhere on the dock in Gananoque, and we would be eating whatever we could find in the cottage.

Even though it was a blistering hot day, and everyone else got into their bathing suits, I had no intention of going anywhere near the St. Lawrence.

Because, as always, you could see the heads of a couple black water snakes just waiting for anyone crazy enough to go in for a dip. I would spend the entire weekend as far away from the water’s edge as I could get.

I vowed if we ever made it back to Gananoque again, with the promise of “a lovely couple days at the cottage,” I would beg to be left on the farm back in Northcote.

It was time to head back to Gananoque, and I helped Aunt Edith round up the chickens, and carry them, one by one down to the boat for our trip back to town.

At least the chickens seem to have enjoyed themselves, and if chickens could feel gratitude, these seemed to have shown it in proper fashion. There on the grass, just inside the little enclosure, were two freshly laid eggs.

oing any further than into Renfrew with the old Model T meant an overnight stay.

So it was, on a warm Saturday morning, we set out for Aunt Edith’s in Gananoque, with a change of clothes for each of us in a cardboard box Mother brought home from Briscoe’s General Store.

Father, and my brother Everett, would not be going. Someone had to milk the cows, and tend the livestock, so with Mother behind the wheel, and we four children piled into the car, we headed out for a trip that would take most of the day.

Aunt Edith and Uncle George Cosh, I thought, must be very rich indeed.

Didn’t they own one of the Thousand Islands? And didn’t Aunt Edith have her very own beauty parlour with the

Mother and Aunt Edith, the chickens and the cat, climbed into Uncle George’s late model car, and the rest of us had to walk, carrying what was left over to take to the island.

Even though the boat was big, it groaned and tilted from side to side, as Uncle George stowed as much as he could under the very front of the boat, the cat was draped around Aunt Edith’s neck like a fur collar, and the chickens happily clucked away.

My sister Audrey, who never liked to look different, hissed she was glad we didn’t know anyone in Gananoque.

“We look like a pack of Gypsies.”

Uncle George sat in an ordinary kitchen chair at the front, turned a key, blue smoke poured out of the tail end of the boat, and we tore out of the dock like a bullet out of rifle. Finally, we pulled into what passed for a dock.

“Don’t step on the boards at the end,” Uncle George said. We soon found out why. Audrey who didn’t know

Stabbed man refuses to co-operate with police

Thank you for helping us put the SQUEEZE on cancer!

A 29-year-old man is out of hospital, but is refusing to cooperate with police after being stabbed multiple times along the Watts Creek Pathway in Nepean on June 14.

Paramedics and police were called to the pathway near Holly Acres Road and Aero Drive by a member of the pub-

lic who discovered the man.

The victim, who was assaulted at approximately 5:47 p.m. that evening, suffered from multiple stab wounds to the torso and arms, as well as head injuries.

The victim was transported to the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus where he was listed in stable condition, but has since been released. Const. Mark Soucy said police were inves-

tigating the incident and do not believe it was a random act.

“The victim is not really co-operating with the police,” Soucy said. “So we don’t believe it’s random, otherwise why would he not want to talk to the police?”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact West District investigators at 613-236-1222, ext.

2666.

Police arrest suspect in Sandy Hill shooting Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly firing a gun in a wooded area of Sandy Hill on June 1.

Police said the man was involved in a verbal altercation with a stranger on Wiggins Private that evening before he put a gun to the victim’s head

and threatened to kill them. A witness knocked the gun away and the suspect then walked away, shooting into a wooded area nearby, police said.

An investigation by the department’s guns and gangs unit led to the suspect, who was then arrested on June 5.

The man was charged with a number of gun offences, including assault with a weapon and uttering death threats.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, June 18, 2015

You’re at home, the windows are open and the doors are unlocked.

It’s a scenario that could leave your home vulnerable to a break-and-enter thief, according to Ottawa police.

Investigators say they are seeing a rise in the number of break-ins to homes across Ottawa, and that suspects are gaining access through unlocked front and back doors as well as patio doors.

“Residents are reminded to keep their doors locked, even when at home, and to ensure any access point from the garage into the main area of the home is also locked,”

police said in a statement on June 12.

And with a rise in temperatures, people often leave their windows open and unlocked even when they aren’t home, another reason why the police break-andenter section is reminding people to lock windows on the ground floors and upper levels which can be accessed via a garage roof or fire escape.

Another piece of advice is to use a security bar or wooden stick to prevent patio doors from being pried open, according to investigators.

“Do not leave valuables that may be easily viewed in front of windows or inside

doors,” the statement said, adding that residents are encouraged to report suspicious people in their neighbourhoods.

Police representatives are available to provide free security inspections of houses, condos or apartments to help protect them against criminals.

To arrange a safety audit, contact your local community police centre, listed at bit.ly/1GlKP9e.

If you have any details on break-and-enter investigations, call the break-and-enter section at 613-236-1222, ext. 4533, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by dialing 1-800-222-8477.

O-Train Confederation Line track Installation Begins with Laying of First Rail Last week local elected officials installed the first official rail track of the O-Train Confederation Line light rail transit project. This milestone sets the stage for the City’s Transitway to be converted to light rail, beginning this summer. The Confederation Line O-Train will mean shorter commutes, and a stronger economy. Spanning 12.5 kilometres between Tunney’s Pasture Station in the west and Blair Station in the east, the majority of the O-Train Confederation Line track will be built in the Transitway’s existing footprint. It will have a mix of at-grade, elevated and tunnel sections, and will replace existing diesel powered buses.

Singers Needed to Perform the National Anthem The City of Ottawa likes to showcase local musical talent by inviting artists to perform the national anthem at the beginning of City Council meetings. On August 26th 2015 I will be inviting one of my constituents from Ward 22 to join us. I would like to put out a call to any singers out there, individuals or groups. This is a great opportunity and will even be televised on Rogers TV live broadcast. If you are interested in this opportunity and would like further information please contact my office or send me an e-mail at Michael.Qaqish@ottawa.ca.

Stay Cool at Ottawa Outdoor Pools, Splash Pads and Beaches With summer fast approaching the City’s outdoor pools, wading pools and beaches will soon be opened for the season. Outdoor pools open as of June 13th and wading pools will be opening June 24th, 30th or July 3rd depending on the location. Lifeguards will be on duty at Ottawa’s supervised beaches beginning June 20th from noon to 7p.m. each day. Ottawa Public Health monitors recreational water quality seven days a week at all of the City’s supervised beaches.

Paramedics and police officers were training at a vacant home at a north Kanata home last June when an explosive detonated, injuring three paramedics and two officers. The city and the Ottawa police have been charged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Vimy Memorial Bridge earns International Award of Distinction The Vimy Memorial Bridge recently received the prestigious Gustav Lindenthal Medal from the International Bridge Conference. This annual award recognizes outstanding achievement in bridge engineering that is aesthetically and environmentally pleasing. The Bridge with it’s unique triple tubular arch formation was designed to meet the stringent guidelines set by the City of Ottawa, National Capital Commission, Parks Canada and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to name a few. The bridge was named the Vimy Memorial Bridge in 2014 to honour the significant battle of Vimy Ridge and the sacrifices made by our Canadian troops during the war.

The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service are each facing five charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a training accident injured three paramedics and two police officers last year.

The Ministry of Labour laid the charges June 11, nearly a year to the day after a forced-entry training device exploded, sending five first responders to hospital – two with serious injuries.

The explosion occurred just after 10 a.m. on June 18, 2014 at the north end of March Road in Kanata, where police and the RCMP were conducting entry training using small-grade explosives.

The training had been taking place for about a week at what appeared to be an abandoned house set back from the road at the corner of March and Maxwell Bridge roads.

Two tactical paramedics were sent

to hospital with second degree burns to the face, arms and legs.

The other three trainees sustained minor injuries.

The charges include failing to take reasonable precautions to ensure worker safety and failure to adequately inform a worker of a workplace hazard.

City solicitor Rick O’Connor sent out a memo to council after the charges were laid, reaffirming the city’s commitment to health and safety.

“We can confirm that the city places primary importance on ensuring the health and safety of its employees,” he wrote.

“Further, the city actively promotes continuous improvement in the area of occupational health and safety, including training and worksite inspections.”

The first court appearance for both the city and police is scheduled for July 30.

OSU Sends 8 players to Ontario Provincial Teams

Emma Jackson/Metroland

The city’s auditor general Ken Hughes said the number of transgressions in the fraud and waste hotline report is a ‘good news story’ because it means the program is working.

City staff face consequences for fraud on the job Emma Jackson

Emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sixteen city employees have been fired and dozens of others have faced lost pay, suspensions and disciplinary actions over the past two years.

That’s all thanks to the city’s fraud and waste hotline, which received 336 reports of fraud, theft, misuse of city assets and unethical conduct over the course of 2013 and 2014, according to an auditor general report released June 15.

Over that time there were 15 cases of theft, 36 cases of misused city property and time and four cases of unethical conduct.

The transgressions ranged from bad driving – one employee was caught holding a dog on their lap while driving a city vehicle – to drug and alcohol abuse to theft of thousands of dollars worth of city property, including $3,000 in audio equipment and $8,400 in scrap metal.

Others abused their access to city facilities: using them for personal activities after hours, for example.

Still others were falsifying their timesheets, and three employees were fired for calling in sick to moonlight at another job.

Yet auditor general Ken Hughes called the report “a good news story” – precisely because staff heard about and were able to deal with these flagrant breaches of the rules.

“You can focus on the actions themselves, but at the end of the day if we didn’t have this hotline, if we didn’t have this annual report, we wouldn’t be moving towards an environment where it not only becomes unacceptable behaviour, but we may also hopefully cause individuals who might be thinking of doing something (to think again),” Hughes said.

He said for an employee population of 17,000, there is bound to be some bad behaviour.

“That’s a small town,” Hughes said. “If you were to go to any small town of 17,000 people … there are plenty of examples of people misbehaving: break-ins, graffiti. While the content of what we see in this report is disturbing, you’re never going to remove that.”

But you can punish it, he said, and hopefully discourage others from doing it in the future.

“We want to ensure that should individuals take actions that aren’t appropriate, that it be reported and that they be disciplined accordingly,”

Hughes said.

The fraud and waste hotline was created in 2005. During the past decade, 1,560 reports have been filed over the phone or online, by both employees and members of the public. About 350 of those dealt with misuse of city property or time, while 214 complained the employee in question was violating laws, regulations or policies. Another 190 reported theft, embezzlement or fraud and 152 alleged unethical conduct or conflicts of interest.

Hughes said every single complaint is investigated, either through the auditor general’s office or the city manager’s office.

Sometimes cases can’t be closed because there isn’t enough evidence either way to take action.

“Just making an allegation is not enough,” Hughes said. “Just because someone says that something has happened doesn’t mean the office can take disciplinary action. They have to have proof of a particular activity.”

To that end, Hughes said he would meet tipsters “anytime, anywhere at a place of their choosing, at a time of their choosing.”

For years, there was no need for a stop in Prescott, but the Team Ontario bus was thankful to round up the eight Ottawa South United Force players en route to Montreal’s south shore for this season’s provincial teams competition against Quebec.

A number of local players selected for the Quebec vs Ontario matches made a big impact as Ontario swept the three-game series at each level from U14 through U16 in boys’ and girls’ action on the April 24-26 and May 1-3 weekends.

“Everyone did really well,” highlights U14 boys’ striker Danny Assaf, who profited from the chemistry he owns with OSU midfielder Antonio Carlini to feed him passes. “It’s an advantage. I play with him and we know how we like to play.”

After a tie in their first game, Assaf launched Ontario to a 3-2 win with a pair of goals in their second match and cruised to a 4-1 victory in the third encounter. In the girls’ U14 competition, OSU’s Ariel Young and Olivia Cooke also found their way onto the scoresheet.

“It was really awesome,” recounts Young, who moved up from her fullback position to score her goal. “Two of us from Ottawa both scored, so that was really good representation.”

Mollie Eriksson enjoyed having a number of OSU teammates at her side for the event.

The 2000-born goalkeeper had previously been part of regional, provincial and national programs, but she was the only Ottawa participant on most occasions.

“It was just me and my dad for a lot of it,” notes Eriksson. “It was really good to travel together and it was just more fun because we could room with them and not feel so lonely.”

U16 girls’ striker Clarissa Larissey, last year’s OYSL scoring champion, savoured the intensity of the matches between the provincial rivals.

“At the top, the game just gets faster and faster,” indicates the Grade 10 Sacred Heart High School student who’s already thinking about going to university thanks to her soccer exploits. “Working to get an education and then going to Team Canada, that’s pretty much the goal.”

Getting the best chance to strive for bigger objectives was a main attraction for Youma Konate to join OSU two years ago, even if it can take the Grade 9 Colonel By Secondary School student 45 minutes to get to the field sometimes.

“Here at OSU, they teach you everything so you can succeed at a higher level,” explains the U15 girls’ centre-back. “The coaching is amazing and all the players are really skilled.

It’s really fun and it’s a good environment to play in.”

The prospect of playing for Team Ontario acted as a strong motivator, says Emily Amano.

“It always kept you going,” recalls the U15 girls’ attacking midfielder. “In training, you wanted to push that much farther so you could get that spot.”

The pre-season experience with Team Ontario has translated into a quick start for OSU’s nine teams in provincial league play, having recorded just one single loss across all age groups through three weekends of play.

“During our games, you can definitely see (the impact),” signals U14 girls’ forward Olivia Cooke, the owner of a five goal-game in one of her OPDL team’s two wins and tie. “It was incredible training, and I think that really helped us get a glimpse of that perspective of a professional environment with the best in Ontario.”

With OSU players having earned an equal number of provincial team positions last season, Club Head Coach Paul Harris says that the repeat representation provides a big reason for the club to celebrate.

“The fact that it’s consistent and becoming habitual, I think Ottawa has been put on the map,” Harris underlines. “It’s a great progression. It’s a testament to the club and all the coaches for all the hard work that’s put in behind the scenes. Now we’re not just getting one or two into the Ontario team, we’re getting seven or eight every year.

“We want to keep increasing our numbers every year and show the powerhouse that OSU is in Ontario.”

Military centre extending reach thanks to community support Continued from page 5

The dollars raised through the annual campaign will go to a number of supports, such as helping military youth develop positive self image and managing stresses that come with such a unique lifestyle.

The centre also provides community integration and relationship-building strategies to help teens get to know their new community. A new youth centre at the former base is also in the works.

Funds raised will also allow the centre to provide skill-development programs for military spouses, partners and youth to open their own business, develop financial literacy and learn social media marketing tools.

“It’s more substantive skills,” Hodge-Cunningham said. “One of the biggest stresses for military families is, of course, employment, and finding childcare and a physician.”

For that reason, the centre will soon expand its child-care options to include a toddler program. Its Operation Family Doc is

also unique in Canada, and will expand further into Gatineau and the Outaouais. Within the past 18 months, the centre has helped about 2,000 families find a family physician.

The resource centre is also looking to establish additional partnerships with the community to help it realize its goals and meet the evolving needs of families.

Just last week it secured a $20,000 donation from the Town of Carleton Place, which will provide a space for military families where they can access family counselling under the centre’s prevention, support and

intervention program, as well as respite childcare.

That space will likely be up and running in September.

“So we’re taking what we have and offering it to the community where they are,” Hodge-Cunningham said.

Part of the challenge is getting the word out beyond the military community to those who may not know that the centre is a nonprofit and is not a Department of National Defence service.

“One of the things is we’re probably the best kept secret, but it’s also our greatest

asset,” she said. “We want to be the first point of contact for the (National Capital Region).”

Friday’s hockey game will see Gen. Tom Lawson – the outgoing chief of defence staff – take to the ice, and there will also be some celebrity talent in the form of retired NHL player Doug Smith.

The Commando Challenge runs June 19, from 2 to 4 p.m., at 801 King Edward Ave. Tickets are $10 and a Dunn’s smoked meat sandwich will be included in the cost of admission. Tickets can be purchased by visiting mfrc-ncr.com.

If independent punk rock with a DIY ethic is your thing, look no further than the Ottawa Explosion.

The six-day festival is set to pack 100 bands from across North American and Europe into six Ottawa venues from June 17 to 21.

While relatively unknown in Ottawa, the festival, which is entering its fifth year, has started to attract international regard in the underground punk scene, said the festival’s director Emmanuel Sayer.

“It’s a celebration of independent music,” Sayer said. “It’s pretty neat to have bands from Ottawa play with bands from all over North America.”

Fans have come from as far as Germany, France and the United States to attend the festival in the past, drawn from the international calibre of bands, but also the local talent.

Sayer said the festival always looks to show off some of the city’s up-and-coming

bands that might be playing their first big shows.

“As it grows we always try to have a good representation from Ottawa,” he said.

“Ottawa bands have a really strong draw.”

The shows will be centred at Club Saw, at 67 Nicholas St., where a stage will be set up outside in the arts centre courtyard for concerts during the day. At night, shows will splinter off into a number of different venues, including Club Saw, the Dominion Tavern, Vertigo Records and House of Targ.

Vancouver punk band White Lung is among the headliners for the festival this year. Other Canadian bands include the White Wires, Monomyth, the Ballantynes, Feral Trash and Crusaders.

American outfits playing include Portland’s Guantanamo Baywatch, Kentucky’s Coliseum and California’s Underground Railroad to Candyland.

With any luck, residents near the rail crossing on Greenbank Road will have some peace and quiet by the time the heat of summer arrives.

That’s the idea behind a notice of motion Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder presented at council on June 10, which will notify Via Rail of the city’s request to lay off its whistle through the area.

Residents who live between Woodroffe Avenue and Strandherd Drive haven’t heard Via whistles since 1985, when the city of Nepean got approval from Transport Canada to stop the practice at all crossings through the suburban neighbourhood.

But this March the rail crossing at Greenbank Road was detoured 48 metres away from its usual spot for a roadwidening project. It counted as a new crossing, and the whistle moratorium no longer applied.

Since then residents have been subjected to 96-decibel blasts 16 to 18 times a day, starting early in the morning and stopping only at 11 p.m.

– and that’s if the trains are on time.

“Ninety-six decibels is as loud as it can be, and it’s hellishly loud,” said Harder. She lives more than three kilome-

tres away from the crossing, but even with her windows closed, she said she can still hear the blasts. “There’s literally thousands of people who are hearing this.”

Making matters worse is the fact that road crews are in the middle of 90 days of blasting through Barrhaven’s bedrock to build the gradeseparated underpass that will eventually negate the need for a whistle at all.

And just this week Harder said a new sound was added to the cacophony: stone crushing.

“Rather than haul (the blasted rock) away in truck after truck, (the company said) we’re going to keep it here, we’re going to crush the crap out of it and use that to store up the sides of the underpass so we don’t have to bring new trucks with new crushed rock in,” Harder said.

“It makes a lot of sense, except it adds a lot of extra noise.”

Harder’s motion, to be considered on June 24, will address just one of the noises, albeit the one that’s most relentless. The motion will give legal notice that the city plans to issue a “whistle cessation resolution” for the crossing, to mirror what was there before.

“Really what we’re going to do is confirm the 1985 Nepean council motion,” Harder said. “We’re saying the same reason still exists, and it’s just

marginally moved.”

According to Transport Canada, in order for a municipality to stop a train whistle it must work with the rail company to assess whether the cessation meets the safety requirements – Harder said this work has already been done – and then the public and “other interested parties” must be notified of the municipality’s intent to stop the whistling. That’s where Harder’s motion comes in.

Once that passes, council must then pass the actual resolution to stop the blasts.

It could still take another 30 to 60 days from now before the whistles stop, but that’s better than nothing, Harder said. The alternative is putting up with the noise until the end of 2017, when the new grade-separated rail crossing is finally finished.

Harder said VIA and Transport Canada both support the cessation, Harder said, although VIA spokesman Maxime Dupont-Demers simply said, “VIA Rail is exploring this with the City of Ottawa.”

Harder noted she’ll move faster on future projects that affect rail crossings in the area – including plans to build a grade-separated crossing at Strandherd Drive.

“I will be on top of this way ahead of time,” Harder promised.

Ancient Rome’s rarest artifacts on display

This summer, the best collection of artifacts from the Colosseum of ancient Rome won’t be in Europe.

Ornate sections of the massive, 2,000-year-old structure, along with sword blades and helmets from the gladiators who fought within can now be found inside the Canadian War Museum.

Gladiators and the Colosseum: Death & Glory opened to the public on June 13, showcasing the storied and perennially popular world of armed Roman athletes. Inside the Colosseum, built in the decade proceeding 80 A.D., gladiators fought – sometimes to the death – in front of 55,000 spectators in the heart of the Roman Empire.

The exhibition was developed in Italy in 2012, and is making its North American debut in Ottawa. Rossella Rae, director of the Colosseum, spoke of the historic significance of Gladiatorial combat during a media preview on June 10.

“In the Colosseum, which was the amphitheatre of the emperors, the games and other spectacles were sumptuous … and their organization complex and costly,” said Rea. “But, for the emperor, they were an important investment: they were highly enjoyed by the people and therefore had a significant public relations return for the leader of the Empire.”

Rea said this was the first time many of the artifacts have been seen outside the Colosseum Gladiators were mainly prisoners of war, slaves or criminals, many of whom trained in privately-operated gladiator schools. Money flowed through the system that sent the armed men into the ring, the organizational structure of which served as an inspiration for modern professional sports.

The building that housed them – the Roman Colosseum – was slowly damaged over the centuries by fire and earthquakes, so that little original

Built with 100 cubic kilometres of limestone, the Colosseum was a wonder of its day, and remains a breathtaking engineering feat.

The scarcity of original artifacts from this time period makes the exhibit – with its sections of fresco and sculpture, statues, and armour – all the more impressive.

The exhibit is divided into four zones, on detailing the rise and scope of the Roman Empire, another focusing on the Colosseum, one targeting gladiators, and another describing a day spent at the Colosseum.

Peter MacLeod, acting director of research at the Canadian War Museum, was part of

the team that worked with the original Italian developers to adapt the exhibit for Ottawa.

Calling it “a marvellous combination of scholarship and spectacle,” MacLeod said the reason for the exhibit was multifold.

“We brought Gladiators from the Colosseum to the war museum partly because everybody loves gladiators, but more to the point, as an extreme sport that mimicked aspects of war, gladiator games were one part of the western military tradition, which continues to influence our popular culture.” said MacLeod.

‘Gladiators and the Colosseum: Death & Glory’ runs until Sept. 7.

Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Our government is taking action to ensure that the province’s roads are among the safest in North America. Bill 31, the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act, was recently passed and will help to reduce collisions, injuries and fatalities on Ontario’s roads.

Current trends and statistics about road safety in the province are troublesome.

Right now, pedestrians represent about one-in-five motor vehicle-related fatalities on Ontario’s roads — 46 per cent of which occurred at intersections. And, if current collision trends continue, fatalities from distracted driving may exceed those from drinking and driving by 2016.

Bill 31 will help to address many of the growing safety concerns about our roads by: increasing fines and penalties for distracted driving; applying current alcohol-impaired sanctions to drug-impaired drivers; and requiring drivers to wait until pedestrians have completely crossed the road before proceeding at school crossings and pedestrian crossovers.

The Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act will also introduce additional measures to address repeat offenders of alcoholimpaired driving, increase fines and demerits for drivers who ‘door’ cyclists, and require all drivers to maintain a minimum distance of one-metre when passing cyclists whenever possible.

The new fines and measures will come into force over the coming months, and will help to make our children, our communities and our roads even safer.

Learn, share, celebrate at free aboriginal festival Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The power of a powwow is not just in the drumbeats, but in its ability to draw people together.

The highly anticipated powwow competition is one of the star attractions of the four-day free Ottawa Summer Solstice Aboriginal Festival, which takes place at Vincent Massey Park from June 18 to 21.

“You learn and you feel the strength of the drum. Everybody’s always drawn to the drum. It’s the heartbeat of our Mother, they say,” said Trina Mather-Simard, executive director of Aboriginal Experiences, a nonprofit that puts on the annual festival.

Both the powwow, held June 20 and 21, and the festival are meant to help bridge a cultural gap and foster a more meaningful understanding and appreciation for everything aboriginal.

“I think other people in

Ottawa (non-aboriginals) ... get to see that the culture is still very much alive and rich – that they’re not removed, that they’re in the city and they’re going to school with our kids,” said Mather-Simard. “I think it really opens dialogue.”

Becoming familiar with aboriginal cultures “is a good first step in rebuilding those relationships,” particularly in the wake of the report recently released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that examined the residential schools over the past five years and the experiences of the survivors, Mather-Simard said.

Aboriginal Day celebrations have been taking place every year in Ottawa on or around June 21 for the past 19 years, but eventually evolved into a public festival nine years ago.

It was six years ago that the event blossomed into a two-day multi-arts cultural festival that has helped bring aboriginals and non-aborigi-

nals together for a fun, interactive family-friendly experience.

Over the years, the gathering has been held on Victoria Island, then at LeBreton Flats and, for the past three years, at Vincent Massey Park at Heron Road and Riverside Drive.

“We kind of outgrew spaces,” Mather-Simard said of the celebration which drew about 30,000 people last year, including 6,000 public and Catholic elementary students for Education Day festivities, held in the leadup to the public festival.

“Last year we did just the Friday, but when our numbers (of students) grew from 3,500 to 6,000, we did spread it out over two days this year,” she said of Education Day, which takes place this year on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19.

Students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 will come to the park and take in free workshops to learn about the traditional powwow, and

Library enthusiasts blast ‘preferred location’ Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Location, location, location: that was the theme of the Ottawa Public Library board’s meeting on June 9, which gave staff a mandate to officially start planning a new central branch.

The library board has approved the staff recommendation to build a new central library rather than renovate the 120 Metcalfe St. location, which consultants said is too small for a modern main branch. The board also approved $800,000 for 2015 to ramp up planning for the project, which is expected to break ground in 2018.

About 30 residents came out to the meeting to witness the momentous step, which is the first true approval in the path to a new central library.

City council still has to confirm the project as one of 63 strategic initiatives on July 8, after which staff can begin to further nail down cost details,

The Main branch at 120 Metcalfe Street is too small for a modern centralized library. The Ottawa Public Library board has approved a plan to build a new central library somewhere downtown. partnership opportunities and location options.

It was the issue of location that got most speakers riled up at the board meeting. Many were adamant the board’s “preferred location” at 557 Wellington St. is a poor choice for such an important civic landmark.

Residents – and some councillors, including Tobi

Nussbaum, Catherine McKenney and Marianne Wilkinson – argued the site just east of LeBreton Flats is too far out of the downtown core and doesn’t take advantage of the benefits of a more centralized location, such as serving downtown employees and tourists. One resident said it’s incredibly inaccessible, being “on the wrong side of a steep

escarpment.”

But, according to library staff, it’s all just a big misunderstanding: what staff meant by “preferred location” is actually a “public sector comparator” – a benchmark for future proposals.

“A public sector comparator allows governments to figure out if a partnership proposal is more cost effective,”

said library chief executive Danielle McDonald. “This has yet to be determined.”

The door is still open to any and all sites in the central area, which stretches from Bayview Road to King Edward Avenue – including privately-owned sites that could be developed in partnership with a private builder, McDonald said.

While the city-owned site has not been officially selected, it will nevertheless be subjected to “additional environmental assessments, further detailed costings, looking at any legal restrictions,” McDonald said, so that accurate comparisons can be made down the road.

Most of those decisions won’t be made for at least another year, and will include public consultations beforehand, staff said.

That was a big concern for resident Mary Cavanagh, who argued city staff did little to consult with residents before bringing the report forward.

In March, nearly 200 people took part in a visioning exercise at city hall, and another 1,000 provided input online. Staff also reached out to users at the Main branch itself to get ideas of what people want to see in a new central library.

While those actions led to a comprehensive program framework – which seemed to be well received by everyone in attendance – they failed to address other important factors like location, Cavanagh said.

“Those efforts represent far too little process for such big decisions as are being taken tonight,” said Cavanagh, who is an information studies professor at the University of Ottawa. “Effective public engagement cannot survive on one-time events and occasional focus groups.”

McDonald assured residents that more public consultation is planned for the future, when staff is ready to choose a location.

The RCMP Musical Ride is coming to Wesley Clover Parks on June 19 as part of the celebration surrounding the return of international show jumping to Ottawa, which takes place from June 17 to 21.

RCMP Musical Ride to celebrate return of int’l horse show Metroland Media Staff

The red serge will be in fine display at Wesley Clover Parks on June 19, when 32 RCMP officers take to their horses to perform the Musical Ride in celebration of the return of international show jumping in Ottawa.

The Ottawa International Horse Show will feature the first major show jumping tournament held in the city since 2011.

“Ottawa has a great legacy of top quality show jumping, and we are so happy to be bringing the sport back to the community,” said Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks, located at 401 Corkstown Rd.

“I think a major show jumping tournament is something that’s been missed by the local community, as they have always been so supportive of our sport,” she said. “We have a worldclass grass arena to jump on at Wesley Clover Parks, and now we are bringing back a worldclass show jumping event.”

Ten-time show jumping Olympic medalist Ian Millar of Perth has been advising Wesley Clover as it worked to bring the park back up to scratch after obtaining a lease for the land from the NCC in 2013.

“This is my sport and this is my hometown, and I could not be more pleased to see show jumping being showcased once again in Ottawa,” said Millar.

The event will take place

from June 17-21 where riders will compete in 1.40 metre Open Welcome, 1.45 metre grand prix, open hunter derby and junior/amateur hunter classic events.

On June 19, the RCMP riders will perform at 6:30 p.m., doing a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music.

“We are thrilled that they will be a part of our ‘crown jewel’ event at the Wesley Clover Parks,” said Tracy Howard, the co-ordinator of the horse show. “Our focus is on elevating equestrianism in the capital region, and we are proud to showcase our own national treasure, the RCMP Musical Ride.”

Summer Solstice expected to draw tens of thousands Continued from page 24

The festival’s theme this year is Canada’s year of sport, and traditional game workshops will feature original lacrosse, invented by aboriginal peoples, as well as Métis voyageur games and traditional games from the north.

In addition to showcasing and celebrating First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures, the festival will also highlight the cultures of non-status aboriginals – those who live outside aboriginal communities – as well as aboriginal women.

“We really try to have a balanced and diverse program,” Mather-Simard said.

Highlights will also include main-stage concert performances by Juno Award-winning artists DJ Shub, formerly of A Tribe Called Red, and Eagle & Hawk.

Top Chef Canada finalist Rich Francis will give a cooking demonstration. Pan American Games athletes will also be at the park, and Nelson Tagoona, an Inuit throat singer will showcase his throat-boxing talents, that is, his modern twist on throat singing, among many other special guests.

A new addition is Saturday’s Colour Run for people of all ages to help raise money for the Odawa Native Friendship Centre.

The cultural and artistic celebration will include hoop and fire dancers, as well as a hypnotist. There will also be a family fun zone, complete with Pan Am Games activities, a bungee trampoline, inflatables and Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo. Master artists will be on hand to demonstrate their traditional creations, like cornhusk dolls.

“Just through simple conversations you’ll learn a lot about how the culture is maintained and why it’s important and, really, just see them as part of the culture, and maintaining their culture,” Mather-Simard said.

And an aboriginal marketplace will feature food, arts and fashion.

The international competition powwow will attract hundreds of singers, drummers and dancers from across North America.

That event kicks off Saturday and Sunday at noon.

The celebration runs Friday, July 19, from 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, June 20, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Sunday, June 21, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The ByWard Market revitalization project has been slated as a term of council priority in the list of strategic initiatives set to be considered by council July 8. The city has set aside $1 million, but a further $9 million is needed to complete the first phase of the project.

McCarthy Road Rock Stabilization - Project Update

City looks for funds to revitalize ByWard Market

R0023308049

The City of Ottawa has identified a situation whereby rocks are dislodging along McCarthy Road between Walkley Road and Provost Drive. The City engaged Stantec Consulting to prepare a tender package to address and remediate areas of unstable rock conditions. The scope of work will consist of rock scaling on the east and west side of McCarthy, as well as minor blasting operations along the east side of the road. While this work is being undertaken, a full road closure will be necessary (this will be very short in duration). Police assistance will be in place in order to assist with the management and re-routing of traffic around the construction site. The tender package is expected to close in early July, with construction to commence in early August, with a targeted completion date of October 2015.

One of the big questions remaining about a plan to revitalize the ByWard Market is where the $82 million needed for the project will come from.

The plan seeks to transform the area into a more pedestrian-friendly zone with more vendors selling fresh local produce in the main market building year-round. The first phase of the project, which will include renovating the market building and landscaping on adjacent streets, is expected to cost $10 million.

The ByWard Market revitalization has already been identified as a priority for funding in the council’s strategic initiatives that are set to be passed July 8, but only $1 million has been set aside for the project so far.

Liz Bernstein, the president of the Lowertown Community Association, is pushing for city council to commit more money to the plan.

“We really need a bit more bold funding to implement this vision on the part of our city council,” she said.

“We have a solid plan with support from staff, our councillor and presumably council as a whole and the BIA – and that isn’t a small task on these kinds of projects. It’s a great plan, so let’s be a little bit ambitious and fund it.”

City staff has also applied for $400,000 in federal funding for projects connected to celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation in 2017.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he hopes the city will commit more and that he has been in touch with provincial counterparts about additional funding.

“I’d love to see $10 million ahead of 2017,” he said.

“The city needs to commit to this infrastructure that is the second-most tourist-visited spot after Parliament Hill.”

The first phase would likely take place, in parts, between 2015 and 2018.

It would see landscaping done on William Street, ByWard south and George Street, in addition to design and renovation work on the market building.

City staff is considering making certain streets in the market pedestrian only, including large portions of William Street, which would provide a link to the new LRT station.

The later stages of the revitalization plan include knocking down the ByWard Market’s parking garage on the corner of Clarence and William streets and building a new market building and public square in its place. There would also be an underground parking garage underneath, which is projected to cost $47 million.

Fleury said he cannot imagine the city would ever consider spending that much on a parking garage and that a private partner would be expected to take on the investment.

The city envisions the new area will be overseen by a municipal corporation with a board of directors that would report to city council.

City staff is now in the process of finalizing their draft recommendations and will then hold public consultations on them in September.

Residents can submit comments and questions either by contacting the Lowertown Community Association at info@lowertown_basseville. ca or by emailing jake.rupert@ottawa.ca.

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Ticket-holders and others interested in attending the Shania Twain concert at Wesley Clover Parks later this June are finding out they will have to shell out a little extra if they plan on driving.

An announcement made by concert promoters at the parks released the traffic and site plans for the event, highlighting the plans for off-site parking at the Canadian Tire Centre and the former Nortel campus at 3500 Carling Ave., with continuous shuttle service to and from the parks.

Advance tickets from the former Nortel campus are $15, while day-of parking tickets for either the Canadian Tire Centre or the campus will cost $20.

Concert-goers will also be able to bike to the parks and walk from a designated lockup area, or take OC Transpo route 96 to Corkstown Road and Moodie Drive.

There will also be on-site parking for those who have purchased special accessibility or handicap tickets, and Para Transpo service can drop concert-goers off right near the entrance to the event.

Tickets for the concert

have been on sale since March 13 and range from $90 to $180.

Sales of grandstand seats are nearly sold out, while all other Canadian shows are sold out, said senior concert promoter Andre Hudon.

But that’s not a surprise, he said, as the Wesley Clover Parks venue is far and away the largest in the Rock This Country tour in North America, and the only outdoor venue, the rest being in arenas.

“Those arena shows have a capacity ranging between 12,000 and 14,000 per show,” said Hudon, while Wesley Clover Parks can accommodate upwards of 35,000.

If there was ever an event that could fill it, the parks in total could hold 60,000 people, said Tony Dunn, the parks’ chief operating officer.

“We are anticipating we will probably end up in the 22,000-25,000 range,” said Hudon of the Shania concert, taking place June 27.

Emphasis has been placed on security and safety for the event, and that includes the off-site parking decision, said Dunn.

The concern was for patrons with different needs being mixed throughout the

parking area, he said, leading to the decision to go with off-site parking.

“Clearly that is the safest solution for all our patrons,” he said, though Hudon added the method may change for future events.

In addition to fire services, paramedics and police being on-site for the concert, more than 100 security guards will be managing intersections around the parks, including Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road, and March Road and Corkstown Road.

Corkstown Road will be closed to regular traffic the day of the concert.

Volunteers from United Way will be helping throughout the day for a donation from the event, though Hudon would not say how much is being donated.

About $3.5 million in upgrades have been put into the parks since Wesley Clover took over the lease in 2013, said executive director Karen Sparks.

The cost for the concert alone is about $1 million, with about 90 per cent of that going back into the local economy, said concert promoter Ken Craig.

Parking tickets go on sale June 12 at 10 a.m. at capitaltickets.ca.

St. Bernard students breathe life into Shakespeare works Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

There’s nothing quite like a Hugh Connelly-directed stage production that makes Grade 4 students at St. Bernard’s Catholic elementary school chomp at the bit to pass into Grade 5.

For it’s in that grade that students have the highly coveted opportunity to act in the school’s annual year-end show. That they have to learn lines in William Shakespeare’s plays only makes them more eager, despite the challenge involved.

When Richard Chaplinsky first heard the nine- and 10-yearold Grade 5s perform scenes from Shakespeare’s plays every year, he had to see it for himself to believe they could successfully tackle such daunting material.

“I’d heard about it and I said, ‘No, it couldn’t be done,’” he said with a laugh. “I was proven wrong.”

That was four years ago – the year before Chaplinsky became principal of St. Bernard. For the past three years he has seen what it takes to make the anticipated show such a success.

This year, the students expertly followed school tradition by memorizing the old English dialogue and speaking with British accents to perform for the public and their parents at the Blossom Park Kindergarten to Grade 6 school on June 10.

“They’d never done anything like that before, and they pulled it off remarkably. They did a wonderful job,” Chaplinsky said, crediting Hugh Connolly for his dedication and commitment to

Submitted

Since retiring eight years ago after an 18-year teaching career at St. Bernard Catholic elementary school in Blossom Park, Hugh Connolly volunteers every year to direct Grade 5 students in the school’s year-end Shakespeare production, which earned enthusiastic applause from the public on June 10.

For years, Grade 5 students at St. Bernard Catholic elementary school have learned to perform famous scenes from William Shakespeare’s plays. The tradition continued last week as this year’s class of Grade 5s brought five scenes to life during an evening show.

they get to Grade 6 they’re ready to do a big play for me at Christmas,” said Connolly, who was first inspired by another teacher in the Catholic school board who encouraged younger students to perform Shakespeare.

“It’s a lot of fun for them. And they give up their lunch recess to practice for this.”

It is a unique opportunity that allows the Grade 5 students to shine.

“Our Grade 6s are involved in all sorts of things, but it’s the Grade 5s who certainly have the ability, but don’t really have the same opportunities as the (Grade) 6s do,” Chaplinsky said.

The lessons they learn run the gamut, from teamwork to tim-

tors, but Connolly said they work hard to rise to the challenge.

“I love pulling out of them what they’re capable of doing,” he said, adding that when he comes into the school every October to begin work on the Christmas production with the Grade 6s, they are eager to get started.

“There’ll be a stampede to the door,” he said.

Even now, the Grade 4 students already have their eye on acting in next year’s Shakespeare production long before they are even in Grade 5.

“The 4s now already are asking me,” Connolly said with a laugh. “And I said, ‘You’ve got to wait until after Easter.”

providing the young actors with such an enriching experience in just eight weeks of rehearsals.

“He comes in every lunch time without fail,” the principal said. “I’m just thankful he comes back year after year.”

Every student who faithfully comes out to the lunch-hour rehearsals for eight to 10 weeks gets a role, whether it’s on stage or behind the scenes as a stage hand, ensuring props are in their place for the public evening performance for parents and a daytime show for their fellow students.

Connolly, who retired eight years ago after 18 years as a Grade 6 teacher at St. Bernard, has continued volunteering at

the school, directing the Grade 6 students in their annual Easter and Christmas plays and the Grade 5s in their Shakespearean show.

Last week, the kids successfully performed the witches scene from Macbeth, a scene from The Taming of the Shrew, the final sword scene from Hamlet, the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet and King Henry IV’s tavern scene.

Their production is made more realistic by period costumes crafted several years ago by a parent at the school, Dorothy Kopanski.

“The kids, they don’t know this, but I use it as sort of a training session for them so that when

ing, and give them the chance to become familiar with a new creative outlet.

“We’re hoping they’ll establish a love for that sort of thing and when they get to high school they’ll jump into a production,” Chaplinsky said. “It’s important because I think what it does is it builds character, it promotes public speaking, promotes memorizing.”

Understanding the meaning behind the Elizabethan language can be difficult for the young ac-

The Hunt Club Park Community Association set the stage for summer fun during the 2014 Hunt Club Park Summer Carnival at Elizabeth Manley Park. The second-annual celebration is set to take place at the park on Saturday, June 20.

Hunt Club Park ushers in summer with carnival Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Hunt Club Park residents are building a tighter-knit community one carnival at a time.

The official start of summer in the community will get underway with the second-annual Hunt Club Park Summer Carnival that aims to draw couples, seniors, teens, parents and young children together for some neighbourly fun.

“What we know is that bringing a community together makes a community better,” said Jennifer Hirst with the Hunt Club Park Community Association, which is putting on the event with the help of volunteers and sponsors.

“And we want the community to be the best it can be. Organizers know that by providing positive community building opportunities, it makes a neighbourhood stronger.”

Three hours of family fun – much of it for free – are planned for June 20, from 10 a.m.

to 1 p.m., at Elizabeth Manley Park, located at 1160 Blohm Dr. Echoing last year’s carnival, the upcoming event will feature some returning elements as well as new additions.

While the Ottawa police canine unit demonstrated their abilities last year, this year the canine show will be put on by Best Friends Dog Training at 11 a.m.

Horse and wagon rides by Gary Scharf of Hollybrooke Farms will meander along neighbourhood streets for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, rather than keeping simply to a loop at the park. Rides will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Goopy the Clown will entertain carnival-goers of all ages, and there will be music. Children can also sit inside a fire truck between noon and 1 p.m.

‘It takes a village to make these things happen:’ organizer Continued from page 35

The schedule of carnival events also includes demonstrations by John Leroux’s World Karate Fit Centre at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., and 12:45 p.m.

“It’s quite visually stunning,” Hirst said of the performance last year. “It was really neat to watch.”

Throughout the celebration there will be face painting, balloon animals and a bouncy castle. And hot and cool treats will include barbecued halal hot dogs, snow cones and popcorn.

The inaugural carnival drew about 800 people, as well as the support of local businesses and other com-

munity minded sponsors.

“It’s a really good time, said Hirst, one of three people co-organizing the carnival, along with Karen Michaud and Karin Pullin.

They have been mentored along the way by Nancy Ferguson, a longtime Hunt Club Park resident who helped keep the community association going to represent the neighbourhood, which is bordered by Hunt Club Road to the south, Johnston Road to the north, Hawthorne Road to the east and to the west, Conroy Road.

“It takes a village to make these things happen,” Hirst said of the planning that goes into the volunteer-driven carnival. “No one’s role is more

important than the next.

“It’s the fact that we’re all coming together and working as a really big team to make the community better – that’s the most important thing.”

Admission to the carnival is free. There will be a nominal fee for food, face painting and balloon animals, with all proceeds going to the Hunt Club Park Community Association to help offset the cost of the carnival.

Volunteers, including high school students looking to earn their volunteer hours, are welcome to help out the day of the event.

Please contact huntclubpark@gmail.com for more details.

NCC conservation officers euthanized a deer that was injured during a foray into a south Kanata home.

The deer was hurt on June 10 when it smashed through a window into a Abbeyhill Drive home and later when it was hit by a car.

NCC spokeswoman Jasmine Leduc said conservation staff tranquilized the injured animal and monitored its health until 10 p.m. that evening, when it was moved to an area of the Greenbelt free of predators.

When conservation officers returned the next morning at 6 a.m., the deer hadn’t moved, and therefore “couldn’t return safely to the wild,” Leduc said.

“Sadly, due to the deer’s injuries, they had to end the deer’s suffering this morning,” she

said.

The deer spent much of June 10 in the Glen Cairn neighbourhood, jumping fences and at one point entering and leaving a home through a livingroom window. The deer was then hit by a car before stopping to rest on a softball diamond at the corner of Abbeyhill and Castlefrank Road.

At least four police officers kept people away from the diamond as they awaited NCC conservation staff. The conservation officers arrived around noon and tranquilized the deer before moving it.

Leduc said the city was in charge of the scene, with the NCC providing support and expertise.

City staff made no comment to Metroland Media as of press time Monday despite repeated requests.

Vimy Memorial Bridge was the only Canadian bridge to be recognized for its engineering by the International Bridge Conference executive committee during its annual awards reception in Pennsylvania on June 9.

Vimy Bridge earns medal for outstanding design

R0013329521-0618

Ottawa South News - Thursday, June 18, 2015

Less than a year after it opened to much fanfare, Vimy Memorial Bridge, which spans the Rideau River and connects Riverside South and Barrhaven, has received an international award of distinction.

The bridge has earned the Gustav Lindenthal Medal, an annual award bestowed in recognition of “outstanding achievement in bridge engineering that is also esthetically and environmentally pleasing,” the city said in a statement on June 10.

Calling the $48-million structure, designed by Parsons, “a stunning piece of architecture,” Mayor Jim Watson said “whether arriving by land or water, it serves as a welcoming and impressive gateway to our city.”

Parsons Group said it is proud that the bridge is “contributing to the quality of life in Ottawa and becoming an important city landmark.”

“Parsons’ design is respectful of the environment,

heritage and culture of Ottawa,” Parsons Group president Todd Wager said in the co-statement.

The bridge is considered unique in its triple tubular arch formation, and features four traffic lanes, two turning lanes, two dedicated transit lanes, two cycling lanes and sidewalks on both sides.

In the city’s media release, it said the bridge is “significantly reducing the commute time” between Riverside South and Barrhaven and “reducing traffic backlog on other traffic arteries.”

The bridge’s $50-million price tag was shared three ways by the city and provincial and federal governments.

Construction began in 2010, but its much-anticipated opening in 2012 was derailed when the contractor building it, Concreate USL, based in Bolton, Ont., went into receivership. That pushed its opening to July 12, 2014.

Initially known as the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, it was formally named the Vimy Memorial Bridge in

a commemoration ceremony last November to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and in honour of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the sacrifices made there by Canadian troops.

The medal, presented during the International Bridge Conference awards dinner in Pittsburgh, Penn. on June 9, is named for Gustav Lindenthal.

The civil engineer, who passed away in 1935, designed New York City’s Hell Gate Bridge, which crosses the East River. When it opened in 1917, it was the longest steel arch in the world at 288 metres.

Lindenthal’s structures were not only purposeful, but were also considered esthetically pleasing, according to the city’s statement.

During the conference banquet, bridge engineering awards in different categories went to several bridges around the world, including structures in China, France, Nicaragua, Tennessee, California and New York.

Feds float new investment plan for Rideau Canal desmond.devoy@metroland.com

About $39.4 million will be flowing from Ottawa, down the Rideau Canal, for about 11 infrastructure projects in what the federal government is calling “the most significant federal investment in Parks Canada in 104 years.”

The comments came from federal environment minister Leona Aglukkaq during the funding announcement at the Rideau Canal Visitor Centre in Smiths Falls on June 1.

Of the $39.4-million amount, there were $6.6 million in previously announced infrastructure investments by the Harper Conservatives, for a grand total of $46 million.

She called the Rideau Canal part of “a legacy that belongs to us all … (and) connects us to nature and our history.”

Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown called it a “historic announcement,” and Doug Struthers, chair of the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy, called it a “significant day in the history of the canal.”

While the canal has seen challenges over the past few years, Struthers, himself the former mayor of Merrickville-Wolford, said there was a difference between things that were “nice to do,” and those that were “critical,” and that “it is critical to keep the system open,” and that it shows that the federal government is “serious about our Rideau Canal. We are serious about making it a destination.”

More specifically, he said it sends a message “to the private sector,” that, when “you invest a dollar, we are here as well,” to invest.

“This is not spending money.

This is investing money,” Struthers added, echoing the words of the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty.

• Burritts Rapids earth dam rehabilitation (North Grenville) $2.6 million.

• Jones Falls concrete bridge rehabilitation (Rideau Lakes) $650,000.

• Jones Falls timber bridge rehabilitation or replacement (Rideau Lakes) $1.6 million.

• Multiple repairs to dams, to the tune of $2.5 million overall, for dams like Old Slys weir in Smiths Falls, Jones Falls arch dam, Merrickville Weir and Manotick Dam. • Various lock masonry repairs, to the tune of $4.5 million, at various locks along the 202 km route.

The above mentioned projects are already at different stages of completion.

The Chaffeys swing bridge replacement and Merrickville bridge project, for example, are already done, while phase two of the Poonamalie dam rehabilitation will take place this fall.

“We need to continue to make sure that the infrastructure is safe,” said Aglukkaq.

For Brown, the money will also go a long way towards making the canal a viable entity well into the future.

“This is an extraordinary amount of money which should help sustain it in the long term,” said Brown.

Completed in 1832, “it needs a lot of maintenance,” he said.

Public invited to help shape science museum’s future Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

With $80.5 million to spend on repairing, overhauling and modernizing the now-closed Canada Science and Technology Museum ahead of its November 2017 opening, officials are in the process of going straight to the source to plan how some of the federal government dollars should be spent.

Museum members have already had their say, and the museum’s Crazy Kitchen and locomotives have made the cut.

“I think for a lot of us who grew up in this region it’s our childhood,” Gabrielle Trépanier, visitor researcher with the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the national science museum.

It’s not too late to have your say on proposed master plan designs that depict a modern exterior facade, newly themed exhibit areas, an artifact alley, a central

Cumberland resident Denis DeHaître, left, looks over conceptual design plans as Gabrielle Trépanier, visitor researcher with the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, explains the drawings at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum on June 14. The public has until June 20 to fill out an online survey and provide input on the conceptual designs for the science museum, which will reopen in November 2017. stage area for demonstrations, interactive spaces for children, youth and adults, a group entrance and a large room for special events, among a host of other pos-

sible changes.

The corporation’s online survey will remain open for comments until June 20.

Staff hope the new exhibit space will provide enough

room to showcase five to 10 per cent of the museum’s collection, which “would be a lot more,” compared to the approximately two per cent that was on display in the

aging facility. The collection includes millions of objects, ranging from vehicles to tiny hardware pieces.

“This is the idea behind what we’re calling artifact alley,” Trépanier said, referring to a proposed central corridor that could see floor-to-ceiling glassed-in displays of artifacts. “It’s to show more, but it’s also the share the breadth of the collection.”

The designs propose a 465-square-metre innovation space, where kids ages two to 10 can touch and try as well as make objects. A brand new makerspace is also in the works where visitors can take part in workshops and try technologies, such as 3D printing.

“We think it’s going to be really attractive to youth, as well,” Trépanier said.

So far, of the more than 2,500 surveys submitted, responses have revealed that visitors have a strong connection to the facility, which was abruptly closed last

September due to airborne mould caused by a leaky roof that had already been sealed due to asbestos.

Remediation work at the contaminated site on St. Laurent Boulevard is now underway and a new roof is in the works. Construction of the new exhibit space will begin once the master plan is more firmly in place.

So far, about 80 per cent of responses to the survey have come in from area residents, with the remaining 20 per cent from people across the country.

“It’s interesting. You can tell the people that are attracted to the museum because they’re into the history, and the people that are attracted to the museum for the more science centre-interactive experiences,” Trépanier said of the survey feedback. “So it’s balancing off those two that’s the fun part of working at Science and Tech.”

Denis DeHaître, of Cumberland, filled out the question-and-answer sheet during a visit to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum on June 14, and shared his hopes of one day seeing additional large exhibit pieces outside the science museum on the grounds, in addition to the lighthouse that’s already there, and to make up for the absence of the recently dismantled Atlas rocket.

Likewise, his son, René, also gave his two cents on his vision for the museum.

“Outside big demonstrations and technology fairs. Also, lectures on the past, present, future of technology,” he said. “It’s good to know where you come from so you know where you can go.”

After perusing the poster boards depicting the proposed interior and exterior designs, René said he liked the idea of having separate themed exhibit and artifact spaces that people can map out and visit without having to wander the entire facility and become tired after just a couple of hours.

That’s known as museum fatigue and is something staff have kept in mind during the preliminary design stage.

That’s where the proposed centralized demonstration stage and seating area will come in handy.

“So it’s nice to have that centre hub where you go back to grab something to eat and

go somewhere different (in the museum),” René said.

Museum officials are hoping that area will serve as a gathering spot, even when there are no demonstrations.

“We’re planning to have lots and lots of cellphone chargers where you can sit down and check your email,” Trépanier said.

“It’s nice to see a lot of people out there pulling for us.”

Gabrielle Trépanier, museums corporation visitor researcher

Visitors will be able to rest at that spot and download one of the museum’s new apps it is currently developing that will allow people to learn more about a particular exhibit or scientific concept, she added.

The public consultations, held during two weekends earlier this month, have allowed staff to connect with fans of the museum, some of whom made a special trip to view the proposed plans and share their opinions.

“It’s nice to see a lot of people out there pulling for us,” Trépanier said.

Medical marijuana: out of the weeds CEO of new cannabis centre wants to ‘talk answers’ Emma Jackson

It’s not a dispensary; there’s “not a speck” of pot on site, according to the new CEO, who left his job in Health Canada’s medical marijuana program to join the company two months ago.

emma.jackson@metroland.com

LET’S TALK ANSWERS

If Gulwant Bajwa had known medical marijuana was an option when he developed a painful cancer two decades ago, he would have tried it.

He would have tried anything.

Now, the 53-year-old is hoping to help other suffering Canadians navigate the murky world of medical marijuana with National Access Cannabis, an information centre where doctors can prescribe weed.

The clinic will open an office in Hintonburg on June 23.

National Access Cannabis, which has adopted the motto Let’s Talk Answers, is not trying to undermine the legal medical marijuana system.

On the contrary, its aim is to help patients who are thinking about using cannabis to access it legally, safely and responsibly, Bajwa said.

“I do not want to see Canadians have to go to an illicit source. I want them to go to a legal source of supply,” said Bajwa. “That way they get a safe medicine, they get a medicine that is produced under some very strict rules and reg-

ulations, rather than going to a street source where you don’t know what you’re getting.”

Medical marijuana is fast becoming a popular alternative to pills in Canada, and has been shown to help a range of ailments, from chronic pain to epilepsy. Health Canada recently overhauled its program and is now licensing commercial producers to grow marijuana for prescription use.

There are currently 19 such producers across the country, including one in Smiths Falls and another that just opened in Gatineau.

While that has improved access somewhat, Bajwa said the medical marijuana system in Canada is so confusing – compounded by physicians who are uncomfortable or unknowledgeable when it comes to prescribing cannabis – that he doesn’t blame people in pain for resorting to the

street.

But buying pot in an alleyway puts you at risk, he said.

Street weed could be laced with other drugs, for one thing, or packed full of pesticides not fit for human consumption. It’s also not necessarily the type of cannabis you need to treat your illness.

Licensed producers develop a variety of strains that offer differing levels of THC (the ingredient that makes you high) and cannabidiol (the part with the most medical benefits).

Someone with late-stage cancer may need a high-THC strain as a painkiller, while a person with schizophrenia needs high levels of cannabidiol. A centre like National Access Cannabis will help patients figure out exactly what they need, Bajwa said.

New elementary school funded Catholic board approves operating budget for 2015-16 The Ottawa Catholic School Board has approved an operating budget for the 2015-16 school year totalling $475.1 million.

The budget focuses on: • class size compliance, • continued integration of technology into the school, classroom and workplace, • spending related to a new elementary school in south Nepean, in the Half Moon Bay South area.

“The board is pleased to approve this budget which is compliant with balanced budget legislation,” chairwoman Elaine McMahon said in a press release.

The release said the board has been successful in coping with pressures due to: • cost savings initiatives implemented over the last number of years; • co-operation and sharing initiatives with school boards and other government agencies; • pursuit of external funding and grants.

For more information on the budget, visit ocsb.ca/notices.

Membership is $99 for the year, and $50 to renew – that’s how the clinic will make its money. For now, it will not collect referral fees to send patients to certain producers, Bajwa said, although some clinics have been doing that elsewhere in the country.

When you first enter the store, a greeter will sit down with you to start a file; you’ll have to give detailed information about the ailment you’re trying to fix. Next, the staff will contact your family doctor to confirm the ailment is a real and documented thing – this is to weed out any cheaters.

to the policy makers shaping alternative medicine in Canada, Bajwa said.

He said he wants to work with Health Canada and other regulators to improve the system, because there is certainly a long way to go.

Until June 11 when the Supreme Court ruled all forms of medical marijuana legal, cannabis could really only be smoked or vapourized.

That was part of the reason doctors are so hesitant to prescribe marijuana as a treatment – smoking is considered bad for your health.

Bajwa said more research funding is needed to explore new methods of delivery, such as capsules that can deliver precise doses of THC and cannabidiol, or consumables like baked goods, oils or even lip balm.

Allowing new forms of medical marijuana to hit the market will reduce the stigma of smoking.

“The day this industry matures enough to have other delivery methods is the day physicians will be more on board,” Bajwa said.

vately with a physician either in person or via Skype for an in-depth interview and a once-over to determine if weed really is the right solution.

If you pass inspection, the doctor will issue a medical document outlining the dose and strain recommended to treat your ailment, and an on-site pharmacist will make sure it won’t adversely react with other drugs you’re taking.

And then you’re given a list of licensed producers and invited to choose where you’d like to order your supply.

Bajwa stressed this isn’t an easy process, nor should it be. He said the doctors will monitor a patient’s drug use just like any other prescription. If you’re prescribed one gram a day and you get a month’s supply, you’d better not be asking for more after 20 days, he said.

And if you’re too nervous to enter the store in broad daylight, he said staff will make arrangements to meet with you after hours.

The storefront is the company’s second in Canada; the original is in Victoria. But the headquarters have shifted to Ottawa so staff can be close

Firefighters want to see creation of federal benefit Brier Dodge

John Sobey, left, and Erik Leicht are active firefighters and members of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association executive. They are organizing efforts to lobby the federal government to create a public safety officer compensation benefit. It would compensate families of first responders killed or permanently disabled through their work. who had served for 22-years had a far different payment than Olson’s because he had only been on the job for six weeks.

In Ottawa, the family of a firefighter killed in the line of duty would receive four times the firefighter’s annual salary.

Greyson is extremely social and has a bubbly personality. He turns into a purring machine when he gets chin scratches and cuddles. And he absolutely loves to have his long, grey fur brushed. Greyson is sharing his room at the shelter with his sister and best friend Adora (ID#A159520). These two would love to find a home together. What’s better than one lap cat?

Last December, a Good Samaritan found a dog wandering the streets alone and brought him to the Ottawa Humane Society for help. It was a cold, blustery winter afternoon and the dog, now named Joey, was shivering and very hungry. Despite this, his sweet doggy nature shone through — Joey enthusiastically gave everyone he met a big, sloppy kiss!

When an owner did not come forward for Joey, the OHS made

sure he received all the care he needed, including sterilization, vaccinations, six weeks of pet insurance, a health guarantee, and a microchip to ensure that if he ever became lost again, he’d be returned to his future forever family.

Just like Joey, every dog and cat adopted from the OHS gets this amount of care before curling up on your windowsill or playing fetch in your backyard — an

involved again.

Leicht said it’s the only way to have equal compensation – or make sure there is a minimum level of compensation – across Canada.

Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau said the opposition parties are “cherry-picking things at election” and may not follow through.

He said that the federal government shouldn’t be responsible for this type of benefit, and it needs to be the province and municipalities that provide the funds and administer the program.

“They’re shopping for something that first of all, the City of Ottawa already does, so it’s not a problem here in Ottawa,” Galipeau said. “But it is a problem in other municipalities. But municipalities are clearly provincial creatures and I’d like to focus on helping firefighters and other first responders within the fields of jurisdiction that have been assigned to us.”

If the leaders were to discuss the issue at a debate during the federal election, Sobey would be happy with the progress.

“If the principle leaders do meet in a debate on labour, that’s the grand picture,” he said.

Joey

Hi I am Joey, the 10 year old pup who is loved very much by my Mom, Dad and 2 sisters. I am a Lhasa Apso and Pekingese mix which makes me quite lively and full of character. Friends and family like to call me “JoJo” and I am very loyal to themespecially my Mom. I can’t even handle 1 minute that she is away from home and always wait for her at the door, often wimpering, until she returns. My favourite treats include leftover steak and hamburgers (when Mom permits), Texas Toothpicks and the festive Turducken dinner that I get at Christmas! I am really playful and like when I get to go to the park, run around and see other dogs. My best friends are both maltipoos named Buddy and Mickey.

Most of all, my favourite thing to do is sit with my family and get cuddles!

Local firefighters hope to see a proposed public safety officer compensation benefit attract attention during the upcoming federal election.

“This is a long-standing issue that we keep hitting walls on,” said Erik Leicht, a firefighter from Orléans.

Members of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association want to see the federal government implement a $300,000 benefit for the families of first responders who are killed or permanently injured on the job.

He said a firefighter in Ottawa died from suicide in early January after dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, and left behind a widow and two young children.

Now, the late firefigher’s co-workers have been organizing their own fundraising campaigns to help his widow financially cope with his death.

“Sadly, Erik and I have buried too many of our friends too soon,” he said.

The Liberal party has said they would create the public safety officer compensation benefit.

Sobey and Leicht have met with Orléans riding Liberal candidate Andrew Leslie and he supported the benefit as well.

They’ve hit stumbling blocks with other politicians when it comes to what jurisdiction is responsible for the benefit. Sobey said because firefighters and first responders are identified on federal income tax papers, the federal government has become involved before and should become

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, assess a situation before acting. Only then can you have a clear view and map out an appropriate course of action. Find a friend who can help with your plan.

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, relationships are challenging but well worth the effort. Nurture an existing relationship and do your best to see things through the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective.
