A deal is in the works to secure land for Riverside South’s much-anticipated future recreation and athletic facility.

The Riverside Development Corporation, comprised of Urbandale and Rich-

craft, has agreed to provide “a generous contribution,” allowing the city to purchase an 18.5-hectare district park that would serve as the location for a new recreation complex, located between the Spratt Road extension and Earl Armstrong Road, east of Bowesville Road, said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun.

Michael Qaqish.

It’s hoped the land deal for the facility will be finalized during the current term of council. “We basically came to an agreement and the developer is going to help us with a transaction,” Qaqish said.

raised more than $12,000 towards its $20,000 goal in support of the festival’s many Ottawa-based charities.

“It’s contagious. Once you get into this, you can’t walk away,” said team captain and Hunt Club-area resident Richard Martin. “It becomes part of your blood.

“It’s a real sense of giving. You find yourself surrounded by really good people who want to give back.”

The team has been practising for the June 24 to 26 races at Mooney’s Bay every Tuesday night over the past month. For the upcoming festival, they will be dressing as characters from Star Wars.

Martin will be dressed as Prin-

cess Leia Organa. He’s goodnaturedly dressed as many wellknown female television and film characters over the years. The first year, he paddled as Ginger from Gilligan’s Island.

“We decided we wanted a team that was not too serious about racing, but more serious about fundraising and having fun,” said Martin.

The costumes have been a big hit over the years.

“It really ignited. People just loved this,” he said. “We didn’t care how we did on the water but we were raising awareness and cash.

“That set the model.”

While some on the team have been with Chinatown Showboat for several years, they also frequently welcome new members and help them with fundraising initiatives.

Each must raise a minimum $250 annually.

“We work with paddlers to help them achieve that,” Martin said, adding that longtime members help empower the newer paddlers to give back to the community.

“It implies a one-way street, but it’s not. It’s very much a circle. We give to our community,” he said.

They support one another, pitching in to help with different events, ranging from car washes and pub nights to a fundraising Chinese New Year dinner every January in Chinatown.

They donate proceeds to Chinatown charities and in return the Chinatown BIA covers the team’s festival registration fees.

The team also volunteers with Ottawa’s Helping With Furniture, which gives furniture and other supplies to people in

The vacant parcel of land has been identified in an updated community design plan for the growing south Ottawa suburb. It was presented to the city’s planning committee on June 15.

At that meeting, Qaqish directed staff, through an approved motion, to come to a deal in which the city would pay the development corporation the $4.9 million market price for the parkland, and the corporation would give the city $2.9 million in return.

“So we’re basically getting the land for the half the price,” Qaqish said.

A memorandum of understanding between the city and the landowners is in the process of being finalized.

That would provide a clearer timeline of when the facility could be built, he added.

Next steps following that include finding the funding needed for design and construction.

“So it’s still a few years away obviously, but this is the next step,” Qaqish said.

“It’s a big priority for the community.”

Area residents will be consulted on the design, but Qaqish said the facility would offer similar amenities that are available at Barrhaven’s

Minto Recreation Complex.

A pool, two ice pads, outdoor sports fields, a gym and multi-purpose rooms are possible features.

FUTURE DOWNTOWN

Some tweaks have been made to the community design plan, but it still includes a downtown Riverside South, just southwest of Earl Armstrong and Limebank roads.

“I think this strikes the right balance and brings the right employment that we need.”

COUN. MICHAEL QAQISH

In addition to a Main Street, parkette and boutique shops and cafes, there is potential for a library and a community centre within the community core.

The planning document also maps out residential neighbourhoods, employment lands to the northeast, a rapid-transit corridor, multi-use pathway network and up to 12-storey residen-

tial towers around transit stations.

The blueprint, which includes pre-zoning of some sites, is being designed at “a critical time,” ahead of a projected population boom over the next two to three decades, said Qaqish.

The full build out of Riverside South, which currently has about 5,000 homes and 17,000 residents, makes room for 20,000 homes and 50,000 people.

“It’s going to be a city on its own,” said Qaqish.

“Now it’s relatively small, so we have the opportunity to put our touches on it to make sure growth and development is done in a smart way.”

It’s important to pace residential growth with employment and recreational services, he said, adding that local residents have expressed a desire for more amenities rather than more homes.

“I don’t want this to be a bedroom community,” he said, noting that it can be challenging drawing businesses to the suburbs.

For instance, during the last term of council, the city offered incentives in the form of rebates to attract more businesses and employers to set up shop in Orléans.

Woodlot controversy raised over Riverside South design plan Continued from page 4

“We don’t want to go down that path and we shouldn’t have to because we’re early on in the planning,” Qaqish said. “I think this strikes the right balance and brings the employment that we need.”

A new Metro grocery store and plaza is being constructed at the corner of Earl Armstrong and Limebank roads. Other plots of land at that intersection have been earmarked for development in the coming years.

WOODLOT CONCERNS RAISED

During the recent planning meeting, the future of woodlots in Riverside South and the rest of Ottawa prompted concerns.

Riverside South resident Bruce Lindsay, who complained that residents only had superficial involvement in the plan after it was already in development, said the woodlots must be pro-

OFFICE OF COUN. MICHAEL QAQISH/SUBMITTED

An updated community design plan that maps out future development in Riverside South was approved by the city’s planning committee June 15. Council was scheduled to review the blueprint for growth and development on June 22. tected from development.

“These recommendations, if approved, will be permanent and irreversible,” he said. “There will be no hope

of recovering these natural amenities once the trees are cut, the grass is stripped and urban elements installed.

“These woodlot lands are

irreplaceable.”

But city planner, Nicholas Stow, pointed to the expense of acquiring woodlots from developers and that they need to be prioritized.

A woodlot on Canyon Walk Drive was acquired because it is well-integrated within the community, he said. Another has mature trees. But a third has swampland.

Heather Pearl, of the Federation of Citizens Associations of Ottawa, said she is worried about the future of woodlots in the city if the plan is approved, since it makes them available for development.

“They are so crucial to the preservation of biodiversity, so I don’t think we can say that just because an area is a wetland and people are not walking there that it does not have compelling importance,” she said.

“Planning is not just putting buildings on lots. It’s a holistic process that we have to recognize.”

The community design

plan, which is the largest of its kind in Ottawa and has been more than a year in the making, maps out 1,800 hectares. Qaqish said over the past year there has been extensive consultation on the plan with the community and individuals, including Lindsay.

The meetings actually resulted in Qaqish asking staff to secure funds to purchase an additional 1.1 hectares to boost the size of a woodlot

south of Earl Armstrong and west of Canyon Walk Drive to 3.6 hecatres.

“Between land swaps and money we were able to retain the best parts of that woodlot,” Qaqish said. “It’s not cheap. We’re not going to spend tax money on parts of a woodlot that are not usable and that would provide a significant source of mosquitos.”

Charlotte McDonald,10, from Elmvale Acres, lounges in the passenger seat of her family’s 1952 International truck during the Father’s Day Antique Car Show at the Billings Estate Museum on June 19. As well as vintage cars, the Father’s Day event included a barbecue and live music.

“Do these kinds of things typically end well? Usually not,” she says of the trend. Real estate prices in cities within proximity to Toronto and Vancouver are also going up, as homebuyers seek more affordable alternatives, but it’s a phenomenon isolated to only Ontario and B.C., Cooper says.

The overall Canadian economy is still struggling to recover from the decline in oil prices. Cooper says that’s the reason the Bank of Canada will keep interest rates low. “The economy is still underperforming and the Bank of Canada is likely not going to be raising interest rates this year.”

Sherry Cooper: Homeowners Should Be Mindful of Changes in the Market

The issue on everybody’s mind now, she says, is housing affordability in both Toronto and Vancouver, where some panic buying in the wake of the rising inflow of foreign capital has pushed prices further up.

By Gordon Hamilton An expected increase in U.S. interest rates may not be repeated in Canada this year says Sherry Cooper, chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres. Another year of low interest rates means homeowners can defer worries about escalating mortgage payments, but even when rates do start to climb, Cooper expects the Dr. Sherry Cooper increases will be moderate and Chief Economist for gradual.

Dominion Lending Centres

The exodus of buyers to other B.C. and Ontario locations in search of affordable housing has driven up prices there as well. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. warns in its most recent report on the Hamilton-Burlington region, for example, that there is evidence of overheating as Torontonians are moving further afield. Prices, according to one indicator tracked by CMHC, were up 8.8 per cent in 2015 and continue to be under substantial upward pressure.

Similarly in BC, prices are rising in regions around Vancouver as well as in Victoria. For example, house prices in Victoria are reported to have risen a whopping 19 per cent year-overyear in May.

Where homeowners should be evaluating risks, she says, is over the dramatic jump in real estate prices in Vancouver and Toronto, where foreign investment has been a factor driving the markets. Cooper believes there are real risks to home equity if that investment pipeline is closed, even partially. In those red-hot markets, some buyers are bidding above the asking price in emotionally loaded bidding wars.

Even with interest rates at generational low levels, homeowners with high household debt relative to their income are heavily exposed to the risk of rising interest rates, a potential future market correction, not to mention a slowdown in economic activity that might jeopardize their ability to make mortgage payments, Cooper says. A housing correction in these red-hot markets could cause a sudden

6 Ottawa South News - Thursday, June 23, 2016

drop in home prices, which could be devastating when it comes time to renew mortgages, regardless of interest rates.

“That’s where the real risks are,” she says. “That’s where getting advice from financial planners and an accredited mortgage professional becomes really important.”

So far, affordability is only a major issue in Vancouver, Toronto and their neighbouring regions.

Prices in other parts of the country, Cooper says, are not rising as rapidly, while provinces affected by the drop in oil prices – Alberta, Newfoundland and western Saskatchewan, are experiencing house price declines.

Ottawa, where sales are keeping pace with the housing supply, is showing no signs of either rapidly escalating prices or a migration of homebuyers to the suburbs.

In Montreal, the housing supply remains high, keeping prices from escalating, while in the Halifax region, average prices varied by housing type and sub-region. Prices are up in Halifax City, but down in neighbouring Dartmouth.

But returning back to the whole country, roughly 70 per cent of Canadian households own their own home, says Cooper, and by far the majority enjoys a sufficient equity cushion to withstand a temporary correction.

firefighters forced their way into a sixth-floor unit and quickly snuffed out a fire on the balcony by 9:10 p.m.

“They were getting

smoke conditions in the hallways as well,” said Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire spokeswoman.

“There was damage inside (the unit) as well.”

Thermal-imaging cameras were used to ensure the flames had not spread inside the walls.

Those impacted were helped by victim services, and firefighters helped evacuated residents return to their apartments a few minutes after 10 p.m.

There were no injuries reported. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.

$100K in damages in wake of two-alarm industrial fire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An industrial business suffered an estimated $100,000 in damages after multiple vehicles and storage containers caught fire on June 18.

A 911 call came from DrainAll Environmental Services, located at 2705 Stevenage Dr., off Hawthorne Road, at 12:35 a.m. after flames broke out at the back of the property within a metal cage used for garbage, said Ottawa fire spokeswoman Capt. Danielle Cardinal.

“Fire spread from the cage and ignited two work vans that were parked in close proximity to the cage,” she said, adding that empty drums with residual oil and flammable liquids caught fire as well.

The call was upgraded to a second alarm moments after a working fire was declared.

The fire department’s hazardous materials unit was also deployed to the scene.

The fire was soon brought under control and firefighters remained to extinguish hot spots and check for the fire spreading until about 1:45

a.m. The hazmat team stayed until almost 2:30 a.m., and air quality samples were taken as a precaution. Fire crews also worked with the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshall and government health officials.

“Luckily, because Drain-All is Drain-All they put precautions and draining services in place, so even the run-off from the fire was taken care of at the scene by ourselves and DrainAll,” Cardinal explained.

The cause of the fire has been ruled accidental.

No one was injured in the incident.

In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management department of the City of Ottawa.

The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 and Section 2.5.2 of the Official Plan to allow Coach Houses as an appropriate form of secondary infill housing. The proposed policy direction sets forward the framework for how to allow coach houses on residential lots throughout the City.

The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to provide performance standards to implement the proposed policy direction for coach houses as a permitted residential use for properties which have a detached, semi-detached, linked detached, duplex or rowhouse dwelling as the primary dwelling on the lot. Changes to Section 133 secondary dwelling units will provide the performance standards to allow coach houses.

Supplementary changes are required throughout the By-law to ensure that existing provisions do not conflict with this new permitted use.

Ailing MP rises to the occasion

E

very time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger is seen in public these days it is a shocking sight.

The deterioration to his body has been exceedingly swift since he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shortly after last fall’s federal election. But that doesn’t mean that Belanger can’t still get things done.

On June 15, Belanger’s long-time effort to have the words changed in Canada’s national anthem to be more gender neutral – from “True patriot love in all thy sons command� to “True patriot love in all of us command� — was approved by a vote in the House of Commons. “Just two words – of us – would replace ‘thy sons’,� Belanger said in his spring newsletter. “These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our national anthem to finally recognize their contribution.� “Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,�

Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15. “I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready

for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.�

There were some MPs who voted against the change, primarily from the Conservative Party, but there were some Conservatives who supported the change as well. Opponents made two basic points: they don’t think that ‘thy sons’ excludes women, and thus there is no need for gender neutral language, and you shouldn’t mess with the wording of the anthem as a matter of principle.

What trumps those arguments against making a change is the fact that ‘thy sons’ was not originally in the anthem either. Those words were added during the First World War. If the anthem could be changed in the past, it is not a valid argument now to say the original words are sacred when they are not the original words at all. Belanger is clearly fighting for his life these days. In this fight, though, he clearly emerged victorious, and should be proud of that victory.

Never underestimate your local talent

T

he festival season begins this week in Ottawa with the jazz festival, a welcome beginning to the summer.

Bluesfest and others will follow.

While music aficionados will debate, as they always do, aspects of the festival line-ups, no one will dispute the joys of hearing live music, especially when it is performed outdoors.

For performers of all types of music the festival season brings mixed emotions.

On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing and hearing some of the best Canadian and international singers and instrumentalists perform in front of large crowds.

On the other hand, the festival season raises, for local performers, the question of where those crowds are in the off-season.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The festival season demonstrates that people in Ottawa and the surrounding area love music and will turn out to see it performed live — even, I would venture to guess, braving a chewedup downtown to get there.

The audiences are out there, for sure. The question is what happens to them in the months when there are no festivals on. Aside from big concerts by international stars, all types of music are starved for audiences.

This may have something to do with the fact that local musicians are local, never mind that many are of international

quality. In the old expression, an expert is someone from out of town, and that may apply equally to performers.

But Ottawans will still turn out for local performers under certain circumstances.

Last week, the jazz festival held something called a 24-Hour Jazz Ramble featuring local performers at the Record Centre in Hintonburg. (Disclosure: I was, briefly, one of them.) The place was packed and audiences spilled out onto the street, particularly in the evening. True, it was a special event, well-promoted in local media, it was a warm and pleasant night, and various prizes were on offer. But still, it did seem to demonstrate that the potential for support of local performers exists. The trick is to unlock that potential, to get the people out supporting the arts when there is

no festival, no special event, no big-name star from out of town.

The obstacles are formidable, here as elsewhere. There is much to keep to people at home. The Internet is infinitely amusing.

TV screens have become large and the range of viewing choices has expanded substantially. Both children and adults participate in sports.

Plus, people are busy at work, tired when they get home, disinclined to go out, particularly when the weather is cold.

Under the proper circumstances, you can get them out of the house.

The trick is to create more of those circumstances. Promoters and club owners need to be more creative and more energetic in informing the public about what they are presenting. Right now, many club owners are entirely passive, leaving it to the performers to promote themselves.

In addition, local media need to pay more attention to local EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[

performers.

It’s a demonstrated fact that a good plug on, say, CBC’s All in a Day, can bring crowds for local performers. For all local media, a little less focus on Hollywood celebrities and a little more on the artists in our community might have a positive impact.

The rest of us just need to get out more.

Free play good for our children

A

s a parent, I always find it a tricky balance to encourage my children’s extracurricular activities, while maintaining enough free time in their schedules – and mine.

Admittedly, I was probably pushing him too hard, signing him up for every camp and workshop, when all he really wanted to do was play.

Fortunately, the 2014 FIFA World Cup did a lot to inspire him to keep at it, particularly ads showing kids in Brazil using anything they could find to practice soccer tricks in the street.

No surprise that Brazil breeds some of the top soccer players in the world. My child recognized that becoming a top footballer wasn’t about access to money, playing competitive sports early or having the best equipment, but just playing with the ball whenever you have a chance. He took it to heart.

I would guess my son spends multiple hours per week every spring and summer practicing his soccer tricks in the side yard, once

in a while engaging his brother to play net between trees so he can hone his kick. He plays on a team a couple evenings a week, but while some parents are paying their kids to score points, my son is intrinsically motivated to play his best every time because he loves the game.

I don’t anticipate my kids will become elite athletes, but I want them to approach their hobbies with a love that will contribute to lifelong interest and creativity.

The best way for them to lose interest is to push them to eat, sleep and breathe one particular organized sport.

The kids have a wide variety of interests and abundant energy. It’s often easier to sign them up, drop them off and let somebody else organize and channel that energy for a few hours.

Increasingly research suggests the key to mastering sport in a creative and talented way is to let kids play and engage in a variety of activities. Even more important, they should be exposed to a number of unstructured activities – not always in a team, not always with an adult instructing their moves, but in free play.

The latest to support this comes from consulting firm Leever Partners. Researchers surveyed 127 elite alpine ski racers to try to determine what contributed to their greatness. The research found that support of family and friends, proximity to mountains, and starting early were common keys to success.

But the research contained a few surprises as well.

Although 77 per cent of respondents were skiing by age three, the majority claimed they didn’t specialize in alpine ski racing until they were 19 or older. Three quarters of respondents played three or more sports until age 12, and nearly half continued to play multiple sports even after choosing to specialize in ski racing in their late teens.

Perhaps most telling, when asked “what percentage of all your sports time as a child was unorganized or ‘free play,’ 71 per cent said half of their time was spent in unstructured play.

In fact, the more hands-off parents and adults are, the more we can give the kids a taste of structure and team play and then let them get on with it, the better.

I remember my middle child’s interest in soccer wavering a few years ago. I was disappointed because it’s a sport I love and thought he had a natural affinity for it.

Hunt Club Park celebrates summer Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Horse-drawn carriage rides, clowns, face painting, barbecued food and music – the signs of summer will be in full swing during Hunt Club Park’s Summer Carnival.

The third annual celebration, which takes place at Elizabeth Manley Park on June 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will feature a number of returning highlights that typically attract several hundred people each year.

“The purpose is to get the community together, to get more of the community familiar with each other so it’s like a small village within the city,” said Vineet Sidhu, vicepresident of events with the Hunt Club Park Community Association, which is again hosting the event.

Stronger community ties help build a safer community, she added.

The three-hour carnival will feature a hot dog stand, cold drinks and coffee. Hot chocolate will be available for

free.

An Ottawa fire truck will be present, depending upon availability, and clowns will be painting faces and creating balloon animals for the kids.

Also returning will be a martial arts demonstration courtesy of John Leroux and his team from World Karate Fit Centre. Kids are invited to try a few moves.

INTERACTIVE FUN

“They’re going to make it interactive with kids,” said Sidhu, owner of Family Dental Care, which is based in the community near the Elizabeth Manley Park.

She and her team will be bringing the coffee, covering the cost of the hot chocolate and arranging the face painting.

“I’ve been supporting the event for three years,” she said, adding the celebration is supported by a number of local businesses, which allows the association to put on even more events throughout

Hunt Club Park residents are invited to celebrate the start of summer during the community’s third annual Summer Carnival at Elizabeth Manley Park on June 25.

the year.

Some items at the upcoming carnival will be free, while others will be available for $1 to further help offset the cost of the community gathering.

Horse-drawn wagon rides will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and there will be parachute games for children and a dog demonstration by Best Friends Dog Training. As well, music will be played during the event to add to the carnival atmosphere.

Those attending the carnival, for which admission is free, can also enter their name in a raffle for a chance to win prizes.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteers are welcome to get involved the day of the Summer Carnival by showing up at the park, which is located at 1161 Blohm Dr., on June 25 any time after 8:30 a.m.

Pizza for Parkinson’s Fundraiser!

Back again for a second year, Pizza for Parkinson’s, my annual Parkinson Canada fundraiser, will kick off at the Greenboro Community Centre on Wednesday, June 29 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. There will be pizza tastings and raffle prizes kindly donated by local businesses in our ward, as well as the opportunity to learn more about this month long campaign and how you can donate. I hope to see you there!

Upcoming Road Closures in Gloucester-Southgate Ward I’d like to make residents aware of two upcoming road closures in Gloucester-Southgate Ward. The first is a temporary road closure on Ramsayville Rd. between Leitrim Rd. and Whyte Side Rd., which will be in effect beginning Monday, July 4 until Friday, July 22, weather dependent. This closure is due to a bridge culvert replacement. There will be a signed detour in place and access for local traffic and emergency vehicles will be maintained.

The second closure is for Queensdale Ave. from Albion Rd. to First St. on Monday, June 27 only. This is due to a City contractor connecting new sewer and water services.

There will be no formal detour and the impact to traffic will be low. If you have any questions, please contact my office at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2480.

Notice of Watermain and Traffic Management Construction This month, construction will begin in two areas of our ward to improve water quality on Rosebella Ave. between Mavis St. and Bank St. and between Eighth St. and Conroy Rd. As well, improvements will be made to safety and mobility in the Blossom Park West Area on Rosebella Ave, Kingsdale Ave., and Queensdale Ave.

Pedestrian crossovers unveiled in Alta Vista Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

“Why did the chicken use the PXO?” Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier asked Featherston Drive Public School students as they stood near a new pedestrian crossover at the corner of Kilborn Avenue and Aster Street.

“To get to the other side – safely,” he quipped, prompting laughter from the students and adults who gathered for the un-

veiling of new signage and road markings on June 14. “Safe streets are important to our city,” he said.

The first pedestrian crossover that opened in Ottawa was unveiled in Kanata the day before.

Alta Vista’s second pedestrian crossover is now located at the roundabout at the west end of Kilborn Avenue. These are some of the 60 that will be installed across the city over the next three years as part of a pilot project, thanks to a change

July 7-31 Professional Live Theatre in Morrisburg, Ontario

to the Highway Traffic Act that took effect on Jan. 1 that allows the crossings.

The POX, or pedestrian crossover, is a designated area where pedestrians have the right-of-way. They are marked by specific pedestrian crossing signs, some white while others are neon yellow, as well as pavement markings on either side.

Some may also have pedestrianactivated flashing beacons.

Harasees Singh, 14, a Grade 8 Featherston student, lives around the corner from the new pedestrian crossing and was enthusiastic about the enhanced crossing. “This is the shortest way to school,” said Harasees, who often walks to school with

his younger brother, Anaahat, 8, who is in Grade 2.Even though they are helped across the busy intersection by a crossing guard before and after school, some cars don’t stop.

“We have to wait a lot,” Harasees said, adding there are about a dozen other kids who use that crosswalk. “Even the crossing guard that’s here – she can’t go unless the people are cooperating.

“So now there are signs.

(Drivers will) see those and stop and yield,” he said of the benefits of the new signage. “It reduces four or five minutes for us.”

Charges laid after Southvale fire victims bilked of donations Police seek people who donated to cause Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Two people are facing criminal charges after they did not turn over donated items to a family whose belongings were lost in a pre-Christmas house fire in Sheffield Glen, according to investigators.

Police are now attempting to identify anyone who donated items to the house fire victims.

Flames and smoke engulfed a rowhouse unit at 2570 Southvale Cres., between Russell and Lancaster roads, in the Sheffield Glen neighbourhood back on Dec. 21.

In the aftermath of the fire, a young girl was being credited for waking up to the smell of smoke.

Fire officials said the girl’s actions allowed eight other people to get out of the house before flames that were licking at the downstairs kitchen spread further.

In the wake of the fire, a woman identified by police as a neighbour/friend began collecting donations for those who lived at the

“Members of the public stepped up and donated various items with the intention of helping the victims,” according to east district investigators, who are managing the case.

However, not everything was passed on to the affected family, police disclosed on June 14.

“The incident involving the outstanding donations was reported to the Ottawa Police Service.”

Residents applaud Elmvale Acres mall redesign timeline change Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Some Elmvale Acres residents are applauding a decision by the owners of the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre to hold off on reapplying to redevelop the site so that the plans can be modified.

It’s viewed as a major victory for the relatively new Elmvale Acres Community Association, which formed in response to the redevelopment project.

“Look at where we’ve come from. We have moved the yard sticks,” said association president Kevin Kit, crediting the consistent and organized message that residents sent the mall owner, RioCan, via the results of an extensive online community survey earlier this year.

Those results, drawn from more than 300 households, were presented to RioCan executives and Alta Vista Coun.

Jean Cloutier in early June.

JEANCLOUTIER.COM

A conceptual design shows the original vision for the redesign of the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre, including the addition of four residential apartment buildings.

They revealed the level of concern around traffic, parking, building heights, road access to the mall, construction and transparency around the project.

“We’ve seen the positive benefits that come when people actually choose to do something,” Kit told about 40

residents who gathered at the Alta Vista Baptist Church on June 15.

“What it ultimately came down to was they told us they would be resubmitting the proposal … which is very good news.”

Association contemplates hiring urban planner Continued from page 14

RioCan is planning to overhaul three shopping centres in Ottawa, including the Elmvale Acres site at 1910 St. Laurent Blvd., over the next 20 to 25 years.

The changes feature a redesigned mall layout, adding new retail with current tenants, and phased construction of four apartment towers of nine, 12, 22 and 26 storeys with 815 rental units. The company has said the plan is a response to the changing retail landscape.

Even before RioCan was presented with the survey results, it planned to make changes to its proposal in response to the city’s request that it undergo a secondary plan process, an in-depth study of land use that manages growth and development.

NEW TIMELINE

“That gives more time to study exactly what would be appropriate for that site,” said

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty speaks with about 40 people who attended a meeting hosted by the Elmvale Acres Community Association on June 15. The hot topic of conversation was the redevelopment of the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre. McGuinty has been assisting the association on the project.

Cloutier, who was not made aware of the recent association meeting.

“Their ideas are substantial. The proposal for that type

of density at that site is significant,” he said.

Given the busy commercial and community hub’s proximity to nearby homes, it will

be important to ensure traffic doesn’t crowd local streets and that traffic access points to the mall don’t have a negative impact.

“So we want to be able to look at this thoroughly because it will have an impact on the community for the next 30 years … until the next renovation, let’s say,” Cloutier said.

RioCan now plans to resubmit its application to the city possibly in the first quarter of 2017.

It had planned to do so earlier this spring, with the original aim to have the application go before the city’s planning committee this fall.

What changes are in store are not yet known. Stuart Craig, RioCan vice-president of planning and development, did not respond to an interview request before press time.

Kit said he was told by RioCan that an upcoming consultation process with community associations and area residents must be completed before the modified project plans are finalized. Over the

next four or five months, the corporation plans to meet with area community association representatives from across Alta Vista Ward.

Next steps include a public engagement session for residents.

“Following that, they are going to go back to the drawing board and modify this proposal,” Kit said, adding the rejigged plans will be presented at an open house in the fall.

Though progress has been made in the eyes of local residents, it’s still critical they keep abreast of the project, Kit said.

“Yes, we’ve done great work thus far. Yes, we’ve done our survey. Yes, our collective voice has started to be heard,” he said.

“But we need to continue to push forward, and that means each and every one of you participating in the process.”

The association wants to hire an urban planner to evaluate RioCan’s proposal and represent residents’ interests,

said Marc Comeau, a vicepresident with the association.

Though it’s not yet known how that cost would be covered, Comeau said, “It’s a very important strategic move to retain somebody who is an expert in their field and can provide real weight to recommendations that we can put forward and be seriously considered and addressed by the developer.”

MERITS OF A CDP

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, who also attended the recent association meeting, has been assisting the group.

“It’s a very, very hopeful situation,” said McGuinty. “You have a real opportunity to put your thumbprints on how this development occurs.”

He also pitched the value of a community design plan for the area, which is a blueprint that comprehensively maps out future development and manages growth.

“It’s about the entire community,” said McGuinty.

The Criterium included men’s, women’s and youth races and took place along with Italian Week festivities on Preston Street that day.

Bookmobile changes coming Staff

A new bookmobile schedule and stop changes are scheduled to take effect on July 4, the city has announced.

The changes come following a review of the mobile book-lending service, consultation with a number of city councillors and the library board’s approval of the updated schedule back on April 12.

A stop at Robert Bateman Public School in Hunt Club Park will be discontinued. As well, the time and day for 16 stops will be adjusted, and stops at Blossom Park and Bayshore will be changed to Saturdays.

As well, two suburban

bookmobile stops will be added, one at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata’s Morgan’s Grant community, and a second one at the Minto Recreation Complex in Barrhaven.

Stop locations will be modified at Carson Grove (formerly known as Bathgate), as well as at Sarsfield and Strathcona (formerly known as Youville).

The new schedule will allow the Ottawa Public Library’s bookmobiles to serve 23 communities that do not have easy access to a library branch.

Phil Landry, the city’s manager of traffic services, introduced the Featherston students to the rules around the new crossovers.

“It’s always important that, as a pedestrian, you make eye contact with the driver so that you know that they’ve seen you,” he said as cars zipped by.

The crossing guard who works at Kilborn and Aster will continue to do so. ®

neighbourhoods across the city.

Today, Kilborn Avenue is a busy east-west artery, Janna said, adding it doesn’t seem as though speed signs are enough to slow motorists down.

But the installation of more flex strips and the new pedestrian crossover are welcome additions “if this is making people aware there are kids and adults,” he said. “You see how quickly these cars come.”

Drivers and cyclists must stop behind the triangular yield markings at the new pedestrian crossovers and allow pedestrians to walk from one side to the other before continuing.

Vehicles are also not permitted to pass another vehicle

Police grappling with recent spike in number of city-wide retail robberies Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A suspect wanted in connection with the robbery of a Greenboro convenience store turned himself in soon after images of him were circulated on social media.

Police issued two highquality photos of the lone male suspect the morning of June 15.

Later that same day, around 8:20 p.m., after the photos had been circulated by several Ottawa media outlets, a male turned himself in to police at Elgin Street headquarters.

“It’s gratifying,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who heads up the Ottawa police robbery unit.

He credits the quick

turnaround to media and to several tips that came in from the public.

“At the time this gentleman turned himself in, we were in the process of trying to locate and arrest him,” Haarbosch said.

and cigarettes. After getting what he wanted, the suspect fled the store to a dark blue car that was last seen travelling westbound on Johnston Road toward Bank Street.

RECENT SPIKE

That crime is part of a recent spike in retail robberies in Ottawa that po-

“...We believe that at least three of those (robbed) convenience stores may be linked.”

STAFF SGT. MICHAEL HAARBOSCH

Police were called to a report of a robbery on June 13 just before 10 p.m. at a convenience store in Greenboro, located on Tapiola Crescent near Johnston Road.

The store employee reported that a male suspect indicated he had a weapon and demanded cash

lice are dealing with. So far this month, there have been nine retail robberies, seven of which occurred at convenience stores in different parts of the city between June 10 and 15.

The most recent case occurred in the west end on the evening of June 15.

“We’ve had the (seven)

store robberies since Friday (June 10) and we’ve got at least three different suspects in play, and we believe that at least three of those convenience stores may be linked by virtue of the same suspect having committing the robberies,” said Haarbosch.

Investigators do not think the Greenboro robbery suspect is connected with any of the other recent retail robberies.

Haarbosch said he was not previously known to the robbery unit.

A 45-year-old Ottawa man is facing one count of robbery. He was released from custody on a promise to appear in court on July 5.

Pull weeds in exchange for produce Sutida May Turcot Submitted

Over the past few years, Marie-Curie French public school in Elmvale Acres has been undergoing a transformation. This small urban school, located at 860 Colson Ave., is home to a vibrant community of families.

At this time of year, aside from school field trips and the final push for report cards, the school is also in the midst of gardening. The changes around the schoolyard have been extraordinary and innovative.

The greening projects spearheaded by a hard-working school council have resulted in dynamic play areas and also incredible opportunities for hands-on learning and exploration.

This year, Cynthia Benjamin, head of the school’s greening committee, has come up with planting plans for garden boxes themed around recipes.

For 10 months of the year, the Marie-Curie community is

Sutida May Turcot holds dandelions pulled from the gardens at Marie-Curie French public school in Elmvale Acres. The community is invited this summer to help pull weeds in exchange for produce. the primary benefactor of the school greening projects.

During the summer months of July and August in particular, when school is not in session, we would like to invite the community to come by.

Come do some weeding in exchange for some fresh bok choy or herbs. While you’re watching your children play, why not see whether you can figure out which garden box is the ‘tabouleh’ box and which is

the ‘salsa’ box?

Our Green Thumbs club has been hard at work alongside classrooms and families volunteering on designated gardening weekends.

We welcome you to participate as well. Come by over the summer at some point and pull out a dozen dandelions in exchange for a fresh tomato!

The surplus harvest is being donated to the Heron Emergency Food Centre this year.

Former Sens coach memory lives on at Roger Neilson House Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Julie Drury, overcome with emotion and with tears filling her eyes, shared a glimpse of the love her eight-year-old daughter had for life.

Little Kate passed away last November at home after a complication following a bone marrow transplant to treat her rare form of mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that has no cure.

“She was comfortable, her pain was managed and she was home in her own bed where she wanted to be,” Drury, a Westboro resident, said, fighting back tears during an anniversary celebration at Roger’s House on June 16. “And this was only possible thanks to the support of Roger’s House and Dr. (Bill) Splinter and the invaluable services they provide to families like ours.”

Though Kate felt unwell

for much of her young life, her spirit and love of life “were amazing,” Drury said. “And if I listen closely, when we’re all quiet as we stand here, I can hear her giggling as she runs around the hallways of Roger’s House.”

Her emotional words cut to the heart of what Ottawa’s pediatric palliative and respite care centre has been about for the past decade.

The hospice was named for Roger Neilson, a former Ottawa Senators assistant coach and longtime NHL coach, who was known for his innovation in coaching, his humour, generosity, humanity and support for and love of kids.

He passed away from cancer in 2003, the same year it was announced that Roger’s House would be built.

Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil played for Neilson.

“What he stood for – this is

what it’s all about,” Neil said following Drury’s poignant remarks.

The anniversary event also featured a milestone moment when Cyril Leeder, president of the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club, announced that the eight-bed hospice, located next door to CHEO, has been renamed Roger Neilson House.

“It’s kind of human nature that as time passes on, that the focus here should be the children and the youth and the families passing through the doors of Roger’s House, and less about Roger Neilson,” said Leeder.

“But it would be a shame that if 20 years from now people didn’t know what Roger’s House really meant,” he said, noting that the anniversary celebration fell on what would have been Neilson’s 82nd birthday.

The nameplate now features Neilson’s signature and the Ottawa Senators logo to cement the relationship between the centre and the hockey club, Leeder said.

The Ottawa Senators Foundation, which has been providing all of the non-governmental funding to the house since its inception, also announced a $2.2-million donation for the hospice’s endowment fund.

The principle will never be spent and the interest generated will help with the hospice and respite care centre’s urgent needs every year, said Kevin Keohane, president and chief

Neil, his wife, Caitlin, centre, and Drury took part in a 10th anniversary celebration at Roger’s House, a pediatric hospice that was renamed Roger Neilson House during the event. executive of the CHEO Foundation.

Together, the Sens Foundation and the CHEO Foundation are partnering to raise $3.3 million to meet a $10-million goal for the endowment fund. Once met, it will help cover the facility’s ongoing operating and capital costs.

“We just can’t say thank you enough,” Keohane said of the Sens’ long-term assistance.

Such “unwavering support” allows the hospice team to work toward its mission, and

to extend its reach, said Megan Wright, executive director of the hospice.

As one of only six pediatric residential hospices in Canada, it is staffed by doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists and support staff, and relies on volunteers, all of whom assist children and youth who are medically fragile and are at significant risk of dying before adulthood.

More than 3,000 children and youth from Ontario, western Quebec and Nunavut have

been admitted to Roger Neilson House since it opened.

Ninety-five per cent of its patients are referred by CHEO. “The need, however, for our services is growing,” Wright said. “In the past two years referrals for pediatric palliative care have increased by 40 per cent.”

To meet that demand, the hospice has been offering a range of new services and expanded programs, such as bereavement support and a program for patient siblings.

Diversity Celebration is building cultural bridges with Ottawa police erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police know how to throw a party.

The department is rolling out the welcome mat for Ottawa’s cultural and faith communities during the second annual Diversity Celebration.

Dancing, ethnic foods and music will greet everyone who drops by the Elgin Street police headquarters on June 23, from 4 to 6 p.m.

“It’s an opportunity for police to engage and get to know different communities,” said Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, who heads up the three-member Ottawa police diversity and race relations section, which is organizing the free, public event.

“It’s like welcoming the diverse communities into our home.

“We often go to different community events, but this is an opportunity for them to come to our station and spend time with us.”

Aligned with Multiculturalism Week and Welcome Ottawa Week, the drop-in event will feature performances by different ethnic groups, including those from the Russian, Jamaican, Latino, Filipino and Palestinian com-

munities.

There will also be artistic works and cultural artifacts on display, and cultural foods will be available for sampling.

Last year’s inaugural two-hour celebration was a popular draw, and organizers are hoping for the same success this time around.

Building bridges helps foster respect and openmindedness for different cultures.

“Knowledge is key to tolerance,” Zackrias said.

“Celebrating our differences as well as our common interests helps us unite and educates us,” he said. “Our differences become strengths in a collaborative effort – collaboration is a path to peace and harmony in our community.”

About 25 per cent of Ottawa’s population is made up of visible minorities, and Statistics Canada is projecting that to climb to 36 per cent by 2031.

Events such as the Diversity Celebration not only celebrate differences but also attract policing candidates from various diverse community groups, some of which may not have a positive view of policing as a profession.

The Ottawa Police Service’s inaugural Diversity Celebration in 2015 proved to be a popular draw. The second annual event is planned for June 23 at the Elgin St. police headquarters and will again be a celebration of Ottawa’s cultural and faith communities.

Some of those perceptions are based on their experiences in their home countries where police, military and the government are often feared.

“In Canada it’s completely different where policing in an honourable profession,” said Zackrias.

“We, as an organization, have to reflect the community that we serve.”

The department’s police diversity section has become a progressive entity since being formed in the mid-1990s. The department’s GLBT liaison committee has also made significant inroads since its creation 25 years ago.

“We’ve been working hard building those bridges, enhancing those rela-

tionships with those diverse community groups,” said Zackrias.

Like the upcoming celebration, creating and bolstering communitybased connections is important to boost the public’s trust in and satisfaction with police.

“It’s the public that gives us the legitimacy to police, and we need to continue working on that,” Zackrias said.

“When people feel they belong, when they feel they are part of society, you get better collaboration and you find solutions to some of the problems that we are facing.”

The Diversity Celebration will take place outside in front of the police headquarters building, located at 474 Elgin St.

Downtown ready to put on a Canada Day party The city’s biggest party of the year kicks off earlier this year than ever before.

Canada Day celebrations start at 9 a.m. on Parliament’s East Lawn with the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The Peace Tower Carillon concert begins at 10 a.m.

Television personality Rebecca Makonnen and Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall host the Canada Day Noon Show on Parliament Hill with remarks from dignitaries — typically the prime minister and the governor general attend the festivities — a flypast by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and shortly after that the noon show concert begins.

Children are invited to pedal over to Pushman Park at 10 a.m. on Canada Day to decorate their bicycles in red and white for the community’s annual Canada Day Bike Parade, which has been held annually for almost a decade.

Organized by the South Keys Greenboro Community Association, the parade will once again be led by an Ottawa fire truck, depending on availability.

“The kids love the chance to climb on the fire truck and meeting the firefighters as well,” said Tara Lockhart, the association’s secretary and event coordinator.

New this year, an entertainer will bring smiles to young faces at the park following the parade.

“This year, we’re going to have an ultimate Canadian entertainer,” said Lockhart.

“A wacky character who performs dazzling acrobatic stilt-walking and juggling tricks.”

ed to spend July 1 paying tribute to one of Canada’s most iconic storybook characters during an Anne of Green Gables Canada Day Tea at Billings Estate National Historic Site.

The event, held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature a photo booth, music, games and a three-tier tea service.

The cost is $20 per person, and reservations are required by calling 613-2474830, ext.

221.

invited to gather at 8:30 p.m. when music will begin playing and glow bracelets and other novelty items, such as fibre optic glow hair barrettes and wands, will be sold for some glow-in-the-dark fun and to help offset the cost of the fireworks. At 9 p.m. two fire dancers will warm up the crowd.

Just like last year, the fun begins at the park earlier in the day at 10 a.m. and continues until 2 p.m.

Fun passes for kids ages three to 12 will be available for $10 each at the park and in advance of the event online.

The upcoming event, which usually draws about 2,000 people, will feature several returning favourites, including a cash barbecue, Canada Day cake which will be served around 1 p.m., face painting, and more.

As well, a parent-supervised and fenced-in toddler zone is also in the works “because it’s quite exhausting running after toddlers at an event,” said Gilbert, a mother of three.

Canada Day 2016

Go red and white in Stittsville for 2016 Canada Day 2016 in Stittsville once again offers lots of fun activities and entertainment, capped off with a gala fireworks display.

It all happens again this year on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, from 3 p.m. onwards on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend. There is no admission charge and the fun activities and entertainment, along with the fireworks are all free.

Take along a lawn chair, pick out a spot on the spacious grounds and celebrate Canada’s birthday listening to a variety of on-stage entertainment, chatting with friends and neighbours and enjoying the fireworks display at the end of the evening as dusk descends on the site.

There’s always an opening ceremony with local dignitaries such as the MP, the MPP and the city councillor on hand, capped off with the cutting of a Canada Day birthday cake.

Bill Martin, who has lots of experience organizing weekly open mic sessions at the Stittsville Legion, is assembling this year’s onstage entertainment, so you know that it will be enjoyable.

There will be lots of inflatable attractions for youngsters to enjoy and everyone, especially youngsters, love the glow sticks that are

handed out just before darkness falls. They fill the grounds with hundreds of bright lights, looking like elongated glow worms.

And there will be lots to eat at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria will be on hand with its pizza and other food offerings. And if this were not enough, Pong’s Poutine, that wellknown food wagon on Carp Road, will also be there with its poutine and other food products.

The Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus will be present as well, with frozen treats that will really hit the spot on what is hoped to be a sunny, warm day.

All of this is being organized again this year by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which gathers together the donations and funds required to stage the event, with costs this year totalling well over $20,000. It is the generosity of local businesses that make this all possible.

Many hands make for lighter work and the SVA welcomes volunteers from the community to help out on site, either setting up for the celebrations, helping to run the activities during the day or helping clean up after the event.

Anyone interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville should contact SVA volunteer co-

ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com.

These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville have become a tradition. They initially were held in the area south of the original arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), offering on-stage entertainment, activities and games and, of course, the windup fire-

works.

But construction of the second arena at the GRC, now known as the Matt Bradley Arena, eliminated much of the space used for these Canada Day activities and so the celebrations were moved to the front of Sacred Heart High School adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail.

These Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at Sacred Heart

High School are not the only Canada Day activity going on in Stittsville on Canada Day, July 1.

There’s also the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors which takes place at Ottawa Fire Service Station No. 81 on Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

This is a free event for seniors in Stittsville but those attending must register with the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

Starting at 8 a.m., the breakfast is always a sea of red as virtually everyone who attends wears something red for the event.

Stittsville’s firefighters are on hand to serve those at the breakfast.

These Canada Day breakfasts for seniors go back to the 1980’s when then-Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg launched the initiative.

The breakfast would rotate on a yearly basis, one year being held in Richmond and the next year being held in Stittsville.

With the amalgamation to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001, this Canada Day breakfast became a Canada Day fixture in Stittsville, hosted by the ward councillor and held in the bays at the Stittsville fire hall on Stittsville Main Street.

Orléans, as organizers announced in January that the Greater Orléans Canada Day celebration had been cancelled.

Organizers cited financial and weather-related difficulties among the reasons for the cancellation of the event that was held for the past 11 years.

“The real frustration is the financial stress that we’ve been under the last few years that’s been caused by weather,” said board member Fred Sherwin at the time of the cancellation.

While Orléans won’t be throwing a Canada Day bash this year, Cumberland’s Baitun Naseer Mosque is hosting a public event and barbecue that all are welcome to attend.

Police grappling with spike in convenience store robberies Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A lone male suspect is wanted after he made off with cash and smokes from a Greenboro convenience store, according to police.

The theft, which occurred on June 13, is part of a recent spike in retail robberies in Ottawa that police are grappling with.

So far this month, there have been eight retail robberies, six of which occurred at convenience stores in different areas of the city between June 10 and 15.

“We’ve had the six store robberies since (June 10) and we’ve got at least three different suspects in play, and we believe that at least three of those convenience stores may be linked by virtue of the same suspect having committing the robberies,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit.

“That accounts for the quick turnaround on this one to try and get a handle

on what’s been going on in the last four or five days.”

At this point, police don’t know if the suspect wanted in connection with the Greenboro robbery is responsible for other retail robberies. However, the robbery squad is not ruling out possible links.

“We’ve had the six store robberies since (June 10) and we’ve got at least three different suspects in play.”

Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch

“Just because we have different faces going into the stores doesn’t necessarily mean that they acted alone,” Haarbosch said, pointing to the case of the Greenboro robbery at a convenience store, located on Tapiola Crescent near Johnston Road, on June 13 just before 10 p.m.

Police urging delivery drivers to be vigilent Continued from page 44

Police later determined the unit was vacant at the time and the suspects had broken into the premises.

They are described as black males, between 15 and 18 years old.

June 16, Herongate: A driver delivered food to an apartment unit in the 2800-block of Sandalwood Dr. in Herongate around 1:25 a.m. As he approached, he saw two males in the hallway. They opened the unit door and the driver was then approached from behind by two other males.

The driver heard a sound that made him think one of the suspects, who kept his hand in his pocket, was armed with a handgun. They pushed the driver to the floor, and stole the food and a small quantity of cash.

The victim wasn’t injured.

According to police, the

suspects had broken into the unit, which was vacant.

A good description of the suspects was not available.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

In three of the Herongate cases, the homes were vacant.

None are located in the part of the Timbercreek-owned community that sits vacant ahead of eventual demolition.

“These are just units that are vacant for short terms, waiting for someone to move in,” said Haarbosch.

It’s possible the crimes may be connected.

“I think by virtue of the fact that three of them were in a fairly tight area, there’s reason to believe that some of those three are connected, potentially,” Haarbosch said. “The Rockingham one was a little more removed, but I mean it’s very similar (in manner).

“Even though it’s removed,

there’s still a possibility that it’s potentially connected.”

These types of crimes are not unheard of.

Police were called to a report of a similar robbery in which a food delivery driver was targeted in Orléans within the past two months.

“We see them from time to time,” said Haarbosch. “We just haven’t seen this many in this short of a time span, and three of them are in a fairly tight area, geographically.”

Food delivery drivers are urged to be cautious and be wary of their surroundings when making deliveries, and even request that customers meet them outside of a home or in an apartment lobby.

Police are also urging residents to report unusual activity at vacant apartment units or residential homes.

Anyone with information should call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.

Pet Adoptions

CisCo (iD# A191513)

Meet Cisco, an easy-going pooch looking for his new best friend.

Cisco is a friendly Labrador and Mastiff mix who gets a long great with children. He’d love a new home where he can get lots of yummy treats and have a comfy bed to lounge in.

The well behaved Cisco is fully house trained and crate trained.

Come to the shelter and meet Cisco, you are sure to fall in love with his sweet eyes and gray muzzle.

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

The Evidence is in: the Benefits of Taking Pets to Work Friday, June 24 is Take Your Pet to Work Day. If you aren’t as lucky as we are at the OHS, and are not yet able to take your pet to work, it may be a bit late to convince your boss that it’s a good idea. If it is too late for this year, maybe you can use the event as a conversation-opener to prepare for next year.

Taking a pet to work is about much more than saving employees on the cost of doggy day care. A 2014 Jordan Smith article in Inc. magazine outlined the many benefits of pets in the workplace: increased productivity, communication, and morale, and improvement in the overall health and well-being of employees.

The article cites several studies in support of the benefits of a pet-friendly workplace, along with some U.S. corporations that

have become true believers.

The companies named found that employees found long working hours more tolerable when they had their pets — or even their co-worker’s pets — by their side. They found that pets promoted staff interactions with colleagues that they otherwise would not have had, leading to a more collaborative workplace. Stress reduction for employees was identified by both studies and the experiences of employers. According to one, “If you are in a position where something is stressful, seeing that wagging tail and puppy smile brightens the day — it can turn around the whole environment.”

The research cited is serious. No less than the eminent U.S. Centre for Disease

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

Control reports that pets can reduce not only stress and loneliness, but also blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Remember, even the most pet-friendly workplaces like the OHS need to know how everything is going to work in advance. It is important to have rules, so that, for example, those few that aren’t keen on your sweet little fur bundle aren’t disturbed, and that no one feeds him without your permission.

So, here is your chance. If you have always thought that bringing pets to your workplace was a good idea, now armed with studies and anecdotal experiences, why not mark next June 23 as your personal D-Day?
