Cuts endanger sex offender program Ottawa South News Staff

This week, the Ottawa South News presents the second story in a four-part series on recidivism. The feature focuses on an Ottawa organization that is struggling to ďŹ nd funding to replace critical federal dollars in an effort to continue helping former highrisk sex offenders. Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa is

already making cuts in advance of the impending ďŹ nancial loss in an attempt to ward off having to scale back or close down. Experts say the potential impact on the group of volunteers could spell trouble for the people it is helping reintegrate in society after prison and ensuring they remain victim-free.

Legion of runners Tens of thousands of runners take over Ottawa streets on Sept. 21 during the seventh-annual Canada Army Run. Roads were closed in parts of Ottawa and Gatineau – including the John A. Macdonald Parkway – as the runners participated in a fivekilometre run and a half-marathon. Funds raised through the Canada Army Run support Soldier On and the Military Families Fund. This year saw a record 25,000 runners participate.

News - Tenants at an Ottawa Community Housing apartment complex are sounding the alarm about what they say is poor air quality in their units that is contributing to throat and eye irritations. “The dust blowing into my face going into my eyes – that’s no good,” said Sheila Searles, a longtime tenant of 2100 Russell Rd., a four-storey apartment building in Elmvale Acres. Dust and other noticeable particles are blowing into her apartment unit through vents in her bathroom and kitchenette, she said, and settling in a layer on her towels, floors, the kitchen counter, and the dining and coffee tables. Since June, she says her eyes have become more agitated, and she wakes up in the middle night coughing. The sand-like particles are also getting into the food she prepares. “I made a sandwich, the phone rang and I was in here talking on the phone ... and when I bit into it, (and was) eating it, it was sandy,” the senior citizen said. “I left it on a plate in the kitchen on the counter and it was very sandy.” She has spoken to other residents in the building who are equally concerned, and has approached the property manager about the issue. She says she has yet to hear back, and says other residents have also come up against a brick wall. In the meantime, she frequently cleans her apartment to stay on top of the problem, but she is worried about her health. “I have become a slave to this

house all the time,” said Searles, who has lived in the apartment complex for 17 years. “And I’m not feeling very, very well. It’s getting me down.” Her bathroom is also covered in dust and sand-like particles, she said. “When I take my towel to wipe my face, I shake it and there’s still grit on it,” she said. “And I never feel clean anymore when I have to use a towel like that.” In response, Stephane Giguère, chief executive officer of Ottawa Community Housing, agreed any grit or particles entering individual units are likely coming from the bathroom and kitchen vents. But the cleanliness of these vents, which lead outdoors, and their metal covers in the units are the responsibility of tenants, he said. “We always encourage each and every tenant on a monthly basis to vacuum those,” he said. “If you don’t take the grate out and vacuum it, you will get an accumulation of dust there and that dust will actually prevent a proper air flow.”

“When I take my towel to wipe my face, I shake it and there’s still grit on it.” SHEILA SEARLES, TENANT

The unit vents feature a low velocity negative-pressure system that forces air from the unit to the outside, he said, adding that minor accumulation of particles can build up in the ducts over time, especially nearest the grates in the units. Rosalie Blondin, who lives down the hall from Searles, said air quality in her apartment unit has become so poor in the last two years that she has come to rely on puffers to soother her cough.

Sex offender supports on a shoestring Despite its success, the federal gov’t is pulling funding for Circles of Support, a program that helps high-risk sex offenders Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

T

he day the doors to David’s prison cell slid open and he was free after spending five and a half years behind bars for sex crimes against children, he was given a one-way ticket to Ottawa and placed on a bus. Armed only with expired identification, a little cash earned inside prison and two boxes and a bag containing his few possessions, David arrived in the city with limited prospects. The challenges he faced reintegrating in society were enormous. There would be hurdles in finding a job and stable housing, securing money and proper identification and abiding by strict supervision rules that kicked in upon his release. “It had been almost six years,” said David, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity. “It was overwhelming. Scary, because you’re coming out into society and it’s open, it’s freedom. “So it was difficult at first, but eventually you blend into it.” The key to blending in, in part, proved to be two smiling women who met him at the bus stop as planned, – his first introduction to a surrogate network of friends and family who wanted to help him rebuild his life, and in the process, ensure he would not reoffend. They are among more than 50 volunteers with Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, one of 20 CoSA programs across Canada through which 500 volunteers are helping nearly 200 high-risk, highneeds sex offenders reintegrate in society after prison. “At first I didn’t know what to do. I have no social life,” said David. “There was a bit of boredom, a bit of loneliness, but I was able to talk to CoSA about it.” Each week, he met with his group of four volunteers to talk about his is-

While critics are alarmed by the federal government’s decision to cut off essential funding to a successful program that safeguards the community by helping higher-risk sex offenders stay victim-free after prison, offenders themselves say the program has been key to ensuring they do not commit more crimes.

JAIL BREAK A four-part series about recidivism in Ontario

They provided him with friendship and support, referring him to services in the city that could help him. Positive social supports, experts say, combined with sexual-behaviour counselling and treatment, are key to ensuring former offenders such as David do not fall back into their old patterns, leading to more victims.

After almost a year with CoSA, David seemed to be doing well. He had stable housing at a halfway house for ex-inmates and was taking part in a counselling program there. He had found work. But he was keeping secrets. David was unlawfully using a cellphone to access the Internet and messaging people. He became evasive with his volunteers. “I was doing OK, but I didn’t tell

them what I had or what I was doing. I didn’t want to get caught. I didn’t want to go back to jail,” he said. “Because then we would’ve been obliged to report (to police),” recalled Susan Love, program co-coordinator of CoSA-Ottawa since 2002, the year it was officially established with funding from Correctional Service Canada. “I thought I was going to get away with it, and then I went further,” David said. His volunteers knew something was wrong. Suspicious halfway house staff found restricted items, such as his phone, in his room. That day, when David returned from work, he was arrested. He was convicted for breaching his release conditions and spent eight months in a detention centre and another eight in prison. “It was so disappointing,” said one of his volunteers, who requested anonymity to protect David’s identity. “I knew something was wrong, and he was very good at hiding.” She and Love stuck by him, and CoSA agreed to support him again after his release in exchange for promising to abide by several extra conditions. “I didn’t have to continue the relationship, but I thought, ‘Hate what they do, don’t hate the person,’” the volunteer said. “It’s unconditional.” David is back living at the halfway house, working full time and meeting with his CoSA volunteers. “It’s based on trust and through trust the guys open up more. It’s like a friendship, almost like a family that develops,” said Love, who currently oversees more than 50 trained volunteers helping 11 men in Ottawa – with two more on the way – many of whom have been convicted of multiple violent sexual offences against children or adults. “The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues. They often have nobody.” Many high-risk sex offenders are considered such a high risk to reoffend they are kept locked up for the duration of their sentence. The day they are released, many no longer fall under the jurisdiction of Correctional Service Canada, nor are they eligible for continued support, treatment or supervision. Their success becomes doubtful, the reason why many voluntarily participate in CoSA, the only program of its kind. But supporting and holding these

people accountable for their actions costs money, and funding cuts from the federal government are imminent. FUNDING ISSUES

CoSA-Ottawa is now scrambling to find long-term funding, but may have to consider eventually closing its doors. It is not alone. Seventeen of 20 CoSA programs across Canada will lose about $300,000 on March 31, 2015, from Correctional Service Canada – including $12,000 from CoSA-Ottawa. The funding was originally slated for the chopping block on March 31, 2014, but was reinstated for another year after Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney asked the correctional service to reconsider. Beyond next March, the department will continue to fund $325,000 annually to the Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario, which supports more than 50 Circles in southern Ontario. While the cuts were made “following a rigorous budget and program analysis of the community based initiative,” CSC agrees the program is effective. “Volunteers and partners such as CoSA actively engage community support which is essential to building safer communities,” federal corrections spokeswoman Melissa Hart said in an email. When asked if the department will reconsider its decision, she said all CoSAs are encouraged “to actively seek out other sources of ongoing funding.” The saving grace over the past five years has been a $7.5-million project through Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre researching the effectiveness of the program at 16 CoSA sites in 19 cities. The results have not yet been published. Of that, Ottawa’s program has received $82,000 annually, which has also allowing it to expand its programming, help more participants, improve volunteer training and screening and hire a part-time assistant and casual bookkeeper. With the contract set to expire on Sept. 30, CoSA-Ottawa is cutting everywhere it can – the bookkeeper has been let go, and the assistant will leave at the end of the month. Continued on page 6

BY THE NUMBERS

Continued from page 5

The charity recently secured two $10,000 one-year grants from the Community Foundation of Ottawa and the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. “We’re definitely not out of the woods,” said Love. The optimal annual cost to fund CoSA, and help cover expenses, such as rent and allow Love to work full time, is between $80,000 and $100,000. But at the end of the month, CoSA will need to survive on $32,000, $10,000 of which can’t be used for salaries. That total will be further reduced by $12,000 at the end of March. “This is certainly not sufficient to continue to operate at capacity, so I will likely have to be reduced to part time which is problematic with our increased numbers,” said Love, whose role includes providing oversight and intervention. “And if I’m not able to do that because I’m so busy applying for grants and that sort of thing then that’s not safe.” It’s too soon to tell whether the Ottawa Circles will have to be scaled back to some degree. “So I don’t know if we’d have to tell some guys, ‘Let’s look at the highest risk to reoffend,’” said Love. “I don’t want to have to make that kind of judgment call.” CoSAs have proven extremely successful in curbing reoffence rates. A national study of two groups of 44 offenders from 2005 to 2007 revealed those who relied on CoSA after prison sexually reoffended 83 per cent less and violently reoffended 73 per cent less compared to the group that did not have Circles. Of the 35 men who have participated in the Ottawa program since 2002, one reoffended sexually, though less severely compared to his previous crimes. Some, like David, have breached release conditions. “(That) is a small number, but when you think of the number of victims who have not been affected because of those 35 guys, that’s hard to quantify,” Love said. The funding cuts are creating a new crisis in a system already plagued by problems, according to Dr. Paul Federoff, an Ottawa-based forensic psychiatrist who was involved in forming Canada’s second Circle in 1994. The release that year of notorious pedophile Wray Budreo, who had dozens of convictions for molesting boys, prompted outrage, but 6

The program must do without Adina Ilea, right, part-time CoSA data co-ordinator and program assistant for the past five years. also a positive grassroots response. Because he had fully served his sentence, Budreo was being discharged homeless and without community supervision, which Federoff says still happens today. Media attention was intense, and under the cover of darkness one Sunday night he was secretly driven from the prison chaplain’s home to Federoff’s office. “We set up on that day one of the first CoSA Circles and I’m happy to say that person never reoffended,” said Federoff, a forensic psychiatrist and director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. In another example, a sexual predator would wait at the bus station for children to get off the bus, then invite them to stay at his home, where he would assault them. “He was released from the federal penitentiary and driven to the bus station where he was left,” said Federoff. “That’s how our system works now, with no supervision.” Parole is designed to allow an offender to transition back into the community with some level of supervision. But over time the Parole Board of Canada has become increasingly conservative to the point where a federal high-risk sex offender is kept imprisoned until his sentence is complete, said Federoff, who treats and provides therapy to 70 people a week, some of them former offenders who also receive support from CoSA-Ottawa. “So they go to immediate free-

dom in the community with no supervision at all – probably the worst possible scenario that you could think of,” he said. “And that’s now become routine.” Police agree there is an enormous gap in providing support to dangerous offenders who are deemed “too bad” to be released early. “The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, head of the Ottawa police high risk offender unit, which is responsible for monitoring high-risk offenders, among other roles. “It’s kind of like a strange loophole in the law.” Parolees, as well as those offenders such as David whose postrelease supervision orders include a residency stipulation, have access to halfway houses, treatment and the support of a parole officer. But there are many who are released free and clear without support and are going into homeless shelters as a result. This sets them up for failure, said Reynolds, reason why, over the past year she has tried, though unsuccessfully, to secure grants in partnership with organizations such as the John Howard Society of Ottawa to pay for dedicated beds in halfway houses for this population. Homeless shelters offer many temptations, such as drugs, and police say it can be difficult to track those who don’t have a fixed ad-

dress, adding to the already challenging job of monitoring those who relocate to Ottawa. “Our best monitoring is a phone call every now and then, maybe a door knock here and there, but really it’s not like they’re being followed around or anything,” said Reynolds. “We don’t have the resources or the ability to do that.” LEADING THE WAY

CoSA is making serious inroads in ensuring there are no more victims. Canada is, in fact, internationally regarded as the founder of the CoSA model, which has been emulated by several nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland. South Korea launched its program in August. “This is a made-in-Canada solution,” said clinical and forensic psychological consultant Robin Wilson, who, as Correctional Service Canada’s first community based sex offender specialist hired in 1992, helped form the first Canadian Circle in 1994 around repeat child molester Charlie Taylor. Though there was a 100 per cent chance Taylor would reoffend within seven years of his release, he never did in 12 years of freedom before his death in 2006 – similar to Budreo’s case. Their Circles are largely credited with those successes. Continued on page 7

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups.”

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

Positive inroads in the treatment of sex offenders were made in Canada in the late 1980s, followed by the introduction of training for parole officers in sexual offender risk management. This led to improved treatment, supervision and a reduction in reoffence rates, Wilson said. But experts have watched over the years as program delivery officers have been replacing psychologists in the treatment of incarcerated sex offenders, who, Wilson said, are functionally equivalent to guards. In response, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Véronique Rioux said the department’s programs differ from counselling and psychotherapy and are delivered by “specifically trained” correctional programs officers to groups of inmates, serving as structured interventions that target factors linked to criminal behaviour.

with a psychologist and two facilitators every day for several hours over the course of eight months. But when he was sent back to jail for breaching his conditions he could only see the psychologist three times in eight months because other higher-needs prisoners came first. “Mine wasn’t a high need,” he said, but added while he wanted to see a specialist every two weeks, there were only a handful of psychologists for all 600 inmates. “I knew I’d done something wrong and I wanted to know where I went wrong,” David said. Three visits in eight months is not sexual offender treatment, according to Wilson. “That would be like taking an aspirin three times over the course of a month and thinking that it’s going to deal with your (chronic) headache,” he said, adding that such inconsistent support is unlikely to manage the problem long term or lead to lasting change. In addition, Wilson said there has been a push in the last five to seven years for prisons to provide less specialized programming to a larger swath of inmates. “But in a generic program there will be aspects that don’t apply to one group or more, such as sex offenders,” Wilson said. Federoff also notes that federal prisons no longer offer treatment for low-risk sex offenders – which the correctional service confirmed was stopped in 2010 based on research showing they benefit more from other interventions than correctional programs. Meanwhile, those at a high risk to

Studies reveal that 15 per cent of sex offenders will sexually reoffend within five years after getting out of prison. Interesting new research shows the likelihood of even highrisk offenders reoffending drops every year they don’t commit another crime, Federoff said. CoSA plays an important role in ensuring former offenders live crimefree, which caught the attention of several American states, where Wilson is providing training and technical assistance in the creation of Circle programs. “The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups,” said Wilson, who also served as chief psychologist for the correctional service’s Ontario region from 2001 to 2005. “Yet, in Canada, where it is our idea in the first place and where we seem to have done quite well with it, we’re continually fighting with the government for continued existence funding.” While the U.S. is embracing CoSA and other community based solutions, Canada is moving away from rehabilitation to an expensive tough-on-crime model that focuses on incarceration, tougher sentencing and elimination of statutory release, said Wilson. “Right-wing people in the United States are advising the federal government in Canada, ‘Don’t go that route. We went that route. It cost us a ton of money. It’s not working,’” he said, adding that research shows more punishment in most cases results in more crime.

These programs are based on cognitive-behavioural strategies and skills that teach participants to learn how to deal with those risk factors that led them to offending, Rioux said, noting the department also employs teams of mental-health professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers, to work alongside correctional staff. While behind bars, David joined a group of sex offenders who met daily

reoffend often cannot access sex-offender treatment until the tail end of their sentence, Federoff said. “I think prisons are excellent for isolating people who are dangerous and for punishing, but they are terrible for treatment,” he said. Community based treatment, such as that offered through Federoff’s outpatient clinic at the Royal, also helps reduce reoffending. Studies show those offenders who complete treatment will reoffend about 40 per cent less than those who haven’t. Some victims may resent offenders getting such support since not enough is spent on victim services, said Steve Sullivan, executive director of Ottawa Victim Services, but he understands the important role CoSA plays in protecting more people. “I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is short-sighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims,” he said. “So, from a policy perspective, even if some victims are opposed, the federal government should be funding programs that prevent victims.” David, who is grateful for his second chance, credits CoSA and halfway house staff with helping him refresh the coping strategies and other tools he learned in prison. “I had dysfunctional relationships in the past and I think I would have had those again if I didn’t have the support I did,” he said. “I would have got into another relationship and back into drugs and then maybe, perhaps – that’s the cycle – I end up eventually reoffending.” Despite breaching his conditions and going back to prison, he says he

knows the value of having people in his life with whom he can share his thoughts and feelings – a new skill he learned in prison. “I know I didn’t have them before and I offended, and the chances would have been higher for me of reoffending again if I didn’t have that, I think,” he said. That is why, without CoSA, or faced with a scaled-back version of the program, the community should be very concerned, Federoff said. “I think that society should look forward to more offences,” he said. “Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

Trustee races pick up speed

N

ext month’s municipal election will include more names on ballots thanks to growing interest of would-be school trustees. More people than usual want to serve on the city’s public and Catholic school boards. It’s a good sign for the present day and for the future. In the past, many candidates have been acclaimed. In every case, that means the lack of political campaigning has removed an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for candidates to prove they are well-suited to the role. Many people are quick to complain about their political choices, but may be unwilling to step forward themselves. Those that run deserve kudos. Given that a trustee gets to work hard for very little compensation, it’s given that anyone willing to run for that office is doing so because they want to make a difference, not for fame, glory or financial gain. It takes confidence to step up and face the test of an election, and for that, every candidate should be

commended. Every candidate will learn a great deal even if they are unsuccessful. Campaigning, posting signs and knocking on doors teaches us about them, and teaches the candidates about themselves. Those who do go on to serve will learn even more. They will also get a large helping of parents’ demands and a taste of politics. It cannot be easy to listen to demands from people on both sides of an issue – nice people, difficult people – knowing there is oftentimes no way to make everyone happy. Some of our trustees may look beyond the school board table in coming years. And following a positive term or two, those who enjoy the life may well move on to a run for city council, with provincial and federal seats a possibility if they prove worthy. So give your trustee race a thought prior to Oct. 27 vote. Kids should experience a school system led and directed by dedicated people, and it’s worth learning a bit so kids learn better. It’s all win-win, except that someone has to lose.

t’s interesting to follow, at a safe distance, the debate over noise at the Ottawa Folk Festival. You can sum it up as follows: one the one side are people who are bothered by music they consider to be too loud; on the other side are people who think the complainers are oldfashioned and should get over it. None of this is new – although complaints about pulsing bass notes do not traditionally accompany folk festivals – and none of it is confined to this city. It is part of the inevitable conflict between those who want a city to be more than it is and those who like it just fine right now. The usual focus of the debate is the big event – a festival, a summit meeting, a major sporting event. Those who support the big event think

That was pretty great for them and it got lots of photographs in the international media showing Toronto as the kind of place where movie stars can be found. It was not pretty great for the nonstargazing-public, whose streetcars were routed off King Street onto other streets which already had their own streetcars, plus hundreds, if not thousands, of automobiles trying to find their way across town. Chaos ensued, including a streetcar 30-minute journey that took 90 minutes while fans waved at movie stars. What price world class? The To-

ronto media certainly made mention of traffic difficulties, but the coverage paled beside the worshipful attention given to movie stars waving. The film festival is there to stay, but there is a growing tide of expert opinion that many big events are more trouble for a city than they are worth. There are fewer bids from major cities for big events. Toronto is now gearing up for the Pan-Am Games, which will last two weeks next July. There will be big construction, big-time security and lots of rerouting of traffic. Perhaps it will enhance the city’s reputation, but will do little for the city’s reputation among the people who live in it. This is the trade-off cities face. Their reputations are to an extent dependent upon what they do for visitors. But their quality of life depends on what they do for the people who live in them year-round.

No magic number to retire well

The Zoning By-law Amendments and Official Plan Amendment result from a City-initiated study on building heights in Kanata. Details on the properties affected by these amendments can be found on the study website at www.ottawa.ca/kanatazoning. PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS

Capital Muse be accumulating wealth for the future. We also may have to consider delaying retirement because we anticipate paying for kids’ post-secondary education in our early six-

... we’re paying out big bucks for daycare or taking pay cuts at work to look after kids in our thirties and forties ties. Add to that low interest rates and easy access to credit, and you’ve got many Canadians running up debt to buy

things now, rather than saving for tomorrow; debt that may carry over into their retirement years. If all those things sound too familiar and trigger a tiny bit of fear, you may want to check out a free offering from Money Coaches Canada called Money Mondays. Money Coach Judith Cane, launched the first Ottawa one at Cafe Latte Chino in Orléans two years ago, shortly after joining Vancouver-based Money Coaches Canada, a fee-for-service financial planning organization. Within the last few months, the Ottawa team has expanded to four, including francophone Anne Perrault. See RETIREMENT, page 10

The amendment from By-law 2014-343 has the effect of rezoning 1200 Maritime Way to permit a maximum building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys. The land will be zoned MC15(2165)-h, which is a mixed-use zone permitting a range of residential and non-residential uses. The property will also be subject to a holding zone (- h) which is conditional upon a development being granted approval from the Urban Design Review Panel (UDRP) and an application for Site Plan Control. This means the right to a building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys will not be permitted until the holding zone is lifted which first requires approval by UDRP and Site Plan Control. The amendments to 1200 Maritime Way represent an implementation of the amended Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan, which further provides consistency with Official Plan Amendment 150. By-law 2014-343 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect. By-law No. 2014-347 effects various properties along March Road at the intersections of Klondike Road, Shirley’s Brook Drive and Terry Fox Drive, as well as various properties along Hazeldean Road (Terry Fox Drive to Eagleson Road) and along the west side of Eagleson Road south of Rothesay Drive to Terry Fox Drive. The amendments implement the Official Plan by rezoning properties along March Road to generally permit building heights up to six storeys and zoning that permits a range of residential and commercial uses. The amendments along the subject properties on Hazeldean Road and Eagleson Road generally permit heights up to nine storeys (30 metres) as well as permitting a variety of residential and commercial uses. The Heritage Overlay was removed from the property municipally known as 486 Hazeldean Road. By-law No. 2014-350 effects 420 & 430 Hazeldean Road by amending the zoning to permit a variety of non-residential uses consistent with this Arterial Mainstreet and to update the parking requirements. PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Official Plan Amendment No.136 amends the Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan to ensure that the policy direction is updated for consistency with OPA 150, especially as it relates to building heights and density along the Rapid Transit Corridor. Amendment No. 136 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect. For further information on the above, please contact: Andrew McCreight, Planner Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 22568 E-mail: Andrew.McCreight@ottawa.ca. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body who, before the Zoning By-laws or the Official Plan Amendment were enacted, made oral submissions, at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to either the Zoning By-law Amendments or the Official Plan Amendment, by filing with the City Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out their objection to the Zoning By-law(s) or the Official Plan Amendment and the reasons in support of the objection.

f you’re like the majority of Canadians, the idea of thinking about retirement savings makes you shudder, if not downright uncomfortable. The problem, for many of us, is the fear we’re ill-prepared because we don’t have enough in savings. A poll conducted on behalf of BMO Harris Private Banking late last year, for example, found the average Canadian anticipates needing a little more than $900,000 in order to retire comfortably. Among the 1,000 Canadians polled by Pollara Strategic Insights for the bank, however, only a third believed they could actually achieve that goal. There are a few concerning social and economic trends at play that should quite rightly have Canadians worried about their future finances. For one, the majority of us are choosing to have children later in life, which means we’re paying out big bucks for daycare or taking pay cuts at work to look after kids in our thirties and forties, when we should

Retirement too unique for blanket statements Continued from page 9

Money Mondays is also expanding, with three simultaneous sessions occurring across the city on the last Monday of each month. “This week we’re looking at retirement. How much do you need? It may be less than you think,” explains Janet Gray, who joined the Ottawa team in July. One of the myths Gray hopes she and her colleagues will dispel through simultaneous discussions at three locations across the city on September 25th is that there is a magic number – like $900,000 – that is ideal for everyone. “Retirement planning is unique,” Gray says. “It’s so personalized that any blanket statement on what retirement looks like is just that, a blan-

ket statement. Everyone has to determine their own vision of retirement.” “Someone may be walking around worrying that they need a million dollars to retire when all they want to do is plant a backyard garden and maybe work a part-time job for 10 years post-retirement,” she adds. “Their needs will be quite different from the couple that wants to buy a yacht and travel around the world.” Gray said the public discussion is designed to help interested people get their heads around the reality of retirement planning. It starts with understanding and quantifying their current lifestyle. “They then have to capture a vision of what they want their retirement to be, that lifestyle, what they want it to look like,” says Gray. “And they need to quantify that vi-

sion.” From there, people need to look at the money gap – how much they’ve got or expect to have in savings at their target age of retirement and the actual annual post-retirement income they require. Gray notes that upward trends in housing prices are causing people to question relying on equity in their homes or downsizing as an option to fund their post-work years. “At the same time, people are getting creative,” says Gray, who is also chairwoman of the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons. “You’re starting to see more boomers living together – two bachelors, for example. And more people are considering part-time or consulting work an option to make up the income gap.”

The event, which features guest speakers, is coorganized by the South Keys Greenboro Community Association and Hunt Club Manor. the manor, which prepares the food. “It’s also providing a hot meal … because (for) some seniors in the community it’s

more difficult, if you’re cooking for one or two, to have a hot meal every day,” she said. “You’re thinking, ‘Do I want to turn on the stove for one pork

chop or whatever it is?’” The event is also meant to be educational as well as entertaining. As seniors enjoyed their meal last week, they were also entertained by guest speaker Mary Cook, a local historian who also writes weekly columns for Metroland East newspapers.

“She is a fabulous speaker and (the event) was a big draw,” Hibbard said. The next lunch on Oct. 15 will feature an interactive, educational talk from Tania Tack of Basic Funerals, who will present on ‘Planning your funeral – it’s a grave undertaking.’ “It’s actually going to be very lighthearted,” Hibbard said, adding this topic was actually presented – and well received – during potluck lunches for seniors that were organized at one time by the community association. Organizers are also looking to have a branch of Ottawa Public Health present theatrical renditions of public-health issues related to seniors in November. December’s lunch will likely be a holiday party. Development of the new lunch program has been a labour of love for Hibbard, her colleague Jennifer Drapeau, the manor’s lifestyles consultant, and Sandra Bruff with the South Keys Greenboro Community Association. Hibbard, a Greenboro resi-

dent who attends the association’s meetings, pitched the idea for a lunch program to the association, which used to run a similar initiative for seniors, known as Home Alone, which came to an end at least five years ago. The idea proved to be an ideal fit for both the manor and the association, said Hibbard. “We’ve always wanted to get involved in the community and I think this is the perfect opportunity to do something local,” she said of the manor’s interest in becoming involved. “It just ended up being a perfect scenario all around.” Let’s Lunch! meals are held the third Wednesday of every month, from noon to 2 p.m. The next meal is on Oct. 15. Reservations are required by Oct. 8 and can be made by calling the Greenboro Pavilion at 613-247-4818. The $7 meals can be paid for in cash at the door. The pavilion is located at 14 Tapiola Cres.

Largest photo club in Canada celebrates milestone Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As an avid amateur photographer, Perpetua Quigley never leaves home without her sneakers and camera gear so as to always be prepared to capture spontaneous moments. “I just make sure that I’m ready,” said the chairwoman of the RA Photo Club, which operates at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive. In the event she doesn’t have her high-tech Nikon camera in hand, she won’t hesitate to pull out her cellphone and start snapping away. “I always say now that my camera has a phone rather than my phone has a camera,” the Kanata resident said. Her enthusiasm for her hobby and her desire to improve her craft prompted her about four years ago to join the RA Photo Club, which is now celebrating its 75th anniversary. “It’s very much a milestone,” Quigley said of the landmark year. To celebrate the club’s history, earlier this month members published a souvenir magazine chock full of stories and photos chronicling the club’s development over the years.

An annual open house is also planned for Sept. 30, which the public is welcome to attend from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. to meet with club members, tour the premises and view a display of members’ photographs. Since joining the 300-member club, which is the largest photo club of its kind in Canada, Quigley has taken part in field trips, weekly programming sessions and special workshops with members, who come from as far away as Arnprior. The club also hosts group outings, such as photographic scavenger hunts during which participants must find photos in several different categories. “The scavenger hunts teach you to see,” said Quigley. “I think that’s what photography does, it teaches you to see, and peel back … layers to everyday images.” She has been amazed by the beauty that has emerged in these images. “I think there’s a story that comes with that,” she said. Within the club’s structure there are also special-interest groups, which allow members to focus on various photographic specialties, such as nature, architecture, studio work, and macro-photography, among

With her Nikon digital camera in hand, Perpetua Quigley, chair of the RA Photo Club, stands at the ready to capture impromptu moments. The photo club has a number of events coming up to mark its 75th anniversary. others. “So you can move within all of these subgroups,” Quigley said. “It’s just a wealth of knowledge and information.” Also as part of the anniversary celebration, a reunion banquet will bring together past and present photo club members at the RA Centre on Nov. 18. Members are also looking

ahead to Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, and will host the Camera Club of Canada conference to coincide with celebrations in Ottawa. Over the coming year, the club will commemorate its past, but also continue to develop and offer a lineup of programs that reflect emerging photographic trends and technology.

One such trend members are looking to touch on is the popular use of Instagram, an online photo- and video-sharing website that allows users to apply various digital filters to photographs. The application also has a social-networking aspect to it. “That is definitely a very popular style,” Quigley said,

“That was way to easy!”

adding that by keeping up with technological changes, club members have an opportunity learn and develop their trade or interest. “You always want to be growing.” Other developments include cellphone photography. “I use that for spontaneous moments and opportunities, and I have used those photos for submissions to competitions, as well,” said Quigley, adding that the club also offers in-house competitions as well as joint competitions with other organizations. The advent of high-resolution cellphone cameras has allowed more people to take high-quality images of special moments in time. “All the elements are still there – composition, lighting – because if I’m not carrying my (digital) SLR and my telephoto (lens) the moment is here,” said Quigley. “And so to me the best camera is the one that you have, and whether that is your cellphone, whether that’s a small point-and-shoot or whether it’s a DLSR, it’s what you’ve got.” For details about upcoming anniversary events or club memberships, visit raphotoclub.ca.

Residents, stakeholders join forces to make votes count Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Euphrasie Emedi pauses for a moment as she considers her reason for voting. Uncapping a black marker, she carefully prints, “Because it is my right.� Growing up in the southeast African nation of Bu-

rundi, Emedi never once cast a ballot in an election – she was never told she could. That changed once she became a Canadian citizen in the early 1990s, and Emedi learned that voting in elections is her right. Since then, she has never once missed the opportunity to cast a ballot. “I knew it was important.

I know that the person I am electing – it’s like I’m giving that person all my life – my health, my education, my children,� she said. “If I need something, I need somebody to go to and talk to them about what I’m going through, and that person has to be somebody who can hear me and take that voice and represent me.�

But others are not seizing upon the same opportunity. “The thing is that people living in low-income neighbourhoods, or low income in poverty are the ones less likely to vote, and this has some impact on their lives also,� said Emedi, a community developer with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, one of 13 health and resources centres in Ottawa working together to foster civic engagement and educate people on the importance of voting. “It creates such a disconnectedness and such a deficit in civic engagement in these neighburhoods or in this low-income population,�

Emedi said. Working to turn the tide and foster change at the neighbourhood level, the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres in Ottawa and the City for All Women Initiative spearheaded the three-year Making Votes Count Where We Live project earlier this year. Funded by a three-year Ontario Trillium Foundation grant valued at more than $170,000 and $23,000 from the Catherine Donnelly Foundation for one year, and with additional support from the Community Foundation of Ottawa, several roadblocks to voting were identified.

Many are looking for work, others are working multiple jobs, and some are struggling to put food on the table, often for large families with many children. “They have no time to engage,� Emedi said. There are also cultural and language barriers. “Sometimes they don’t know the process of elections. And sometimes we come from different countries where we did not know that we had the right; maybe we didn’t even have the right to vote. “And we think, arriving here, that it’s the same.�

Education is key, she said, adding that change has to come from within neighbourhoods and amongst the people who live there, which prompted the development of 20 focus groups across Ottawa earlier this year. As part of this, Emedi mentored two Heatherington women earlier this year on how to conduct focus groups to elicit feedback on barriers to voting, as well as how to give presentations on the voting process. “So the (focus group) presenter was saying, ‘You know if you have any issue you can talk to your candidate,’ and one (woman) said, ‘What? I can talk to them?’� Emedi said recalling the woman’s surprise. “They have to know their rights. I was like that.� Feedback from the focus groups revealed that people

are questioning which politician can be trusted, while some don’t understand the political process, and others find it challenging to travel to the polling station. Still others say they don’t know enough about the candidates. Since then, several community partners, including Ottawa Community Housing and the Alliance to End Homelessness, are working to develop strategies to overcome obstacles to voting, with a special focus on affordable housing and transit, food security and employment. “One of the things (identified) is that we need to make it fun,� Emedi said of the voting process. “When it’s fun, people will be able to go vote.� That prompted the launch of an online contest to solicit ideas to motivate people to vote.

“Maybe they’ll do something on the day of elections, or maybe it’s something they have to do in their neighbourhoods while people are preparing to (vote),� Emedi suggested. Fostering civic engagement is about planting a seed for change and hopefully motivating people to become leaders in their communities, maybe even spur them to one day run in an election, Emedi said. “It’s about community capacity building, so leaders creating leaders through that.� To learn more about the Making Votes Count Where We Live project, or to submit a voting contest idea by Nov. 1, go to makingvotescount.ca.

CHEO confirms four children infected with serious virus Staff

News - A serious respiratory infection making the rounds in the United States and in other parts of Canada has arrived in Ottawa. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario confirmed last week it admitted four children with confirmed cases of enterovirus D68, a respiratory virus infection. The patients, who did not require treatment at the hospital’s intensive-care unit, have since recovered and returned home. NUMBERS UP

The hospital is expecting more children will seek treatment in the coming weeks. “We continue to monitor the situation closely and are prepared to respond as we need to do every year during peak viral and influenza season,” Eva Schacherl, CHEO spokeswoman, said in a statement released last week. Treatment of this strain of

virus is the same as for other respiratory viruses that cause the common cold, and there are no specific medications to treat it, she said. While some children may not experience symptoms, others with the EV-D68 infection will show mild signs, such as fever, runny nose and cough. “You will not be able to tell the difference between it and a regular cold,” Schacherl wrote. “Children, especially young children, with asthma or breathing problems are presenting with more wheezing and serious breathing difficulties than with other enterovirus strains and may require more support and care.” In an effort to curb spreading and prevent emergency room overcrowding, CHEO is recommending parents who are concerned about their child’s respiratory symptoms, such as wheezing, see their family doctor or visit a walkin clinic. They are also urged to not

CHEO recommends several preventative measures to fight the spread of enterovirus D68, such as washing hands often with soap and water for at least 15 seconds, avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, and not sneezing or coughing into your hand. Suggestions also include staying home when sick and frequently disinfecting surfaces, such as doorknobs and toys.

Meet the candidate: Brad Pye Candidate campaigns on platform to tackle crime

TAGGART PARKES FOUNDATION PROUDLY PRESENTS

Ottawa South News Staff

News - Whether it’s politics, international development, following his dream to become a school teacher or volunteering within his community, Brad Pye’s passions run the gamut. He is currently campaigning to become the next councillor for Gloucester-Southgate Ward and says he hopes to create positive change when it comes to curbing crime in the ward he lives in, among other initiatives. Originally from Dartmouth, N.S., the 39-year-old married father of two, who is anticipating his third child with his wife Beth in February, graduated with a bachelor of education degree from the University of Ottawa in May. Q. Why are you running for city council in Gloucester-Southgate? A. There needs to be leadership in the community. It boils down to leadership and neglect, and there hasn’t been any leadership on the crime issue. And because of the attention that the current councillor is paying to the area, what’s happening is that there is neglect. You’re more likely to see a UFO than you are to see a police car around here. Our police officers who serve our area come out of the station in Orléans rather than coming out of Leitrim, which makes no sense to me at all operationally. Q. Detail your past political experience or activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party.

SUBMITTED

Brad Pye, council candidate for Gloucester-Southgate Ward, wants to provide leadership on several issues, including crime. A. Pye ran for the New Democratic Party in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour in Nova Scotia in the 2008 federal election. He was also a legislative assistant for an NDP member of parliament from 2001 to 2005. The candidate did stabilization programming and democratic development work for more than a decade in such countries as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and the Balkans. He helped restart the Hunt Club Community Association in late 2012 and currently serves as a director. Pye is a member of the board of directors for the Canterbury Hockey Association, and occasionally volunteers with the parent council at Robert Bateman Public School. Q. Do you live in the ward you are running in? A. Pye has been a resident of Hunt Club Park for five years. Q. How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A. I’ll just straight ask to friends and people I know in the community.

ottawa

Q. Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A. Not at all. Q. What do you think the biggest issue was in Gloucester-Southgate this term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue next term? A. I’d like to look at transportation – so how we’re going to manage transporting everybody who’s going to be living in Findlay Creek, the new developments at Hawthorne and throughout this community. Hunt Club has six out of the 10 worst intersections in Ottawa. I don’t want to see Hawthorne and Hunt Club or Bank and Hunt Club added on to number seven and eight, and they’re already problem intersections. Crime and lack of accountability at city hall are the two biggest issues. People are angry that tax dollars are being wasted. The biggest (issue) I hear constantly at the door is the Airport Parkway bridge.

Q. Why are you running for city council in Alta Vista? A. Our incumbent Coun. Peter Hume is resigning after 23 years of public office. This creates a huge void to fill and with no experienced candidate running, I decided to step forward. Q. Detail your past political experience or activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party. A. My 15 years of various city committee work has provided me with the tools to sit at the council table. I was a former vice-chair to the city’s parks and recreation advisory committee, participated in Crime Prevention Ottawa’s citizens forum, and participated in several other committees for the east end mass-transit plan, the hospital transit link and the canal foot and cycling bridge. I am also past president of Canterbury Community Association. I also have certification through city primer courses on development, transit, transportation, the Ontario Municipal Board, and more. Q. Do you live in the ward you are running in? A. Marleau has lived in the Herongate neighbourhood for more than 35 years. Q. How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A. I will 100 per cent depend only on the generous donations of Ottawa residents. No developer or union money will be accepted for my campaign

Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A. I have no pecuniary interests. Q. What do you think the biggest issue was in Alta Vista this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A. During the last election in 2010 the main issues in Alta Vista were traffic management and city infrastructure. Coun. Peter Hume ensured that these were addressed prior to retirement. The issues facing our ward now are crime prevention and safe communities, better transit and transportation services. Last year, the city went more than $50 million over budget in spending on snow removal, and the city has the unwillingness to manage a healthy financial reserve in case we need funding in the event unusual circumstances arise. Instead, the city made cuts to core community services to fund its shortfall, resulting in the cutting of essential services without consultation to residents, as well as cuts to 15 community police centres and our transit routes. For many residents of Alta Vista and Ottawa, the time has come for an experienced voice to represent them at city hall. Other candidates currently registered in Alta Vista Ward are Daher Muse Calin, Adam Bowick, Jean Cloutier, Clinton Cowan, Jeff Dubois, Hussein Mahmoud, John Redins and Brandon Scharfe.

Trustee candidates gear up for election Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Incumbent trustee Mark Fisher said he is proud of the accomplishments the current board has achieved over its four-year term, including building a new school in Chapman Mills and putting additions on Osgoode Public School and Steve MacLean Public School. “These were long overdue projects that we were able to move forward,” Fisher said. The South Keys father of three said his biggest outstanding priority is bringing a new elementary school to Findlay Creek, which will lose its access to the leased Elizabeth Park Public School in 2017.

Five candidates are running for public school board trustee in Zone 7 during this fall’s municipal election.

staffer and mother of four Lori Daneliak hopes to bridge the gap between parents and OSTA to find solutions for ongoing bus and transportation issues. “Every year in August many of us parents suffer anxiety about the school buses,” she said. “We have a hard time with the empty seat policy, which doesn’t take effect until October, so for the first month of school you must drive your kids or find someone to take them.” Small children who live inside the walking zone are expected to walk on dangerous rural roads without sidewalks, and when they do get approved to take the bus they sometimes get lost en route, she said. She said better pay for the bus drivers and a better system for vetting who is hired in the first place would ease parents’ minds about who is caring for their children. She also wants parents to be able to create common bus stops that work for the community.

0925.R0012907902

News - With mayoral and councillor candidates front and centre in the lead-up to the municipal election, Zone 7’s school board trustees are quietly fighting for their spot around the school board table. The public school board zone covers Osgoode, Gloucester-Southgate and Gloucester-South Nepean wards and has five candidates on the ballot this year. The 12-person public board of trustees (plus two student trustees) governs the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. The board sets policy for the operation of all public schools in the Ottawa area, according to the school board’s website. Voters will choose their trustees on Oct. 27.

On the programs side, Fisher said special needs education is a big priority for him, particularly in zone seven, which is the second largest in the city. “We have a high number of students who have special needs, and sometimes these services are not always located where the students live,” he said. The solution, according to Fisher, is to share assessment resources with other boards. “If we’ve got a high case load and (another board) has a low case load, we can share resources. Taking 12 months or eight months is too long to figure out what supports the students need.” In the rural areas, Fisher said more work must be done to communicate traffic and bus problems to the Ottawa Student Transportation Association. The association manages bus routes for the school board.

Registration Opens 8:00am • Rides begin 9:00am All rides start and end at MITEL, 390 MARCH ROAD Designated rest stops, lunch area, and plenty of parking.

Class size, transportation big issues for Zone 7 Continued from page 25

“There have to be different policies for different areas,� she said. “One shoe does not fit all.� Across the ward, she wants to encourage more formal partnerships between the schools and their community associations, to promote volunteerism in the community. On the capital side, she wants to address classroom sizes in growing suburbs with new schools, particularly in Findlay Creek. CURTIS BULATOVICH

Curtis Bulatovich is no stranger to advocating for the community, and said he’ll put his experience to work in support of progressive change as trustee. Bulatovich, 21, has worked with anti-poverty advocate ACORN for several years, and said his top priority would be supporting students in need. “We need to make sure that students living below the poverty line are given the chance to succeed,� he said. School supplies are a big part of that: he said community agencies rarely offer expensive items like scientific calculators and indoor shoes,

which can eat up a big part of a parent’s budget. Families with students in special needs programs are also a priority, Bulatovich said, and supports a strong integration system for the board. “(We need to make) sure that our schools are an inclusive space for all students and make sure our schools places that are accepting and empowering,� he said. Bulatovich recognized that Zone 7 also has community-specific challenges, noting the rural area’s frustration with transportation and the suburban region’s need for more schools. Although Bulatovich does not have any children in the school system, he said he only left the public system a few years ago and has witnessed some issues first-hand. “We need to implement policy that ensures students don’t fall through the cracks because of poverty, special needs, or being GLBTTQ identified,� he said. “There’s a variety of issues that we really need to address sooner rather or later.� JENNIFER JENNEKENS

Riverside South mother of two Jennifer Jennekens wants to focus on bringing a more integrated special needs program to the school board. One of her sons, now grown, was in a special needs program in another school board near Toronto throughout his education, and Jennekens said she had to fight to make sure her son was integrated with other kids. “All parents want their child to be treated as a regular kid, and based on their ability be a participant as much as possible,� she said. “I’m more for integrating as much as possible even if it’s just gym class or music class.� She said the board also needs to provide special needs programming at more schools, so siblings can attend school together and parents aren’t driving all over the city every morning. On the capital side, Jennekens wants to bring a high school to Riverside South, as well as a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. She also wants the school board to look into partnering with the city to bring a library branch to Riverside South. “They have a bookmobile that goes to Riverside South once a week, but it would be nice to see a perma-

nent facility,� she said. “For parents, if they’re both working, kids don’t have access.� JERRETT DEFAZIO

Boys and Girls Club program director Jerrett DeFazio puts bullying and school safety squarely in his sights as a trustee candidate. The former police officer wants to bring a program he developed while working on the east coast, X-Out Bullying, to the Ottawa board to help minimize and eventually stamp out bullying in classrooms. “Cyberbullying is a real, real concern ... and it is my main goal and platform to work with Crime Prevention Ottawa, the schools, police and teachers to see that it’s happening and see things you can do to minimize it,� he said. He also wants to reduce class sizes to optimize the learning environment. DeFazio’s third priority is increasing physical activity among students. “I believe there’s an epidemic across the country of obesity in children and youth, so I want to start sub committees at the board looking at physical education in the schools, and getting help from specialists and

community stakeholders to support that,� he said. The former Ottawa 67s hockey player said he doesn’t necessarily mean competitive sports – but he does want to make physical activity part of every kid’s daily routine.

United Way to focus on people, lives changed Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The United Way Ottawa has taken a step back from big dollar figures to focus on what it feels matters most: the lives it helps change. The organization launched its annual campaign on Sept. 18 and instead of announcing a dollar amount, the organization said it wants the focus to be on the number of people those donations can help. This year, the grand total is 61,500 lives -- 1,500 more than the organization managed to help last year and 15,000 less than its original goal announced during last year’s campaign. Executive director Michael Allen said this number is achievable and can help make change happen in this city. “If we meet our goal, we will be able to change lives,” Allen said. Looking at the goal in a dollar amount, the organiza-

tion needs to raise $17.2 million to make this change happen – $3 million less than last year’s goal. The money raised is tied to what the United Way defined as measurable goals – money solely for the United Way’s organizations which requested funding through designated priorities. “This amount feels more genuine,” Allen said, adding being tied to a financial number means little compared to the life that could change thanks to donations. The United Way changed the way the way it allocated funding raised from its annual campaign four years ago, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. Since then it’s been no secret, Allen said, that the organization has struggled with raising enough money to reach these goals. “We need good schools, arts and other organizations to be supported,” Allen said. “But what we are trying to do

is make it clear to donors the goals we have and the journey we have.” In an effort to fight this issue, Allen said he thinks keeping the focus on the people and organizations the United Way helps will appeal to its donors. Giving credit to recent fundraising success stories such as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Allen added that although that particular initiative has been a widely popular for that particular cause, it’s not necessarily the right way for the United Way to gain support. “We want our donors to be connected deeply to the cause,” he said. “We feel we can do that with our campaign.” MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

This year the face of the campaign will be Mark Sutcliffe and Yaprak Baltacıo lu, who will be encouraging Ottawa residents to give back to their community.

The United Way Ottawa announces it aims to change the lives of 61,500 people this year with its annual campaign. The organization launched the campaign on Sept. 18. “Every one of us has the ability to change someone’s life,” said Sutcliffe. “We’re challenging Ottawa to think of the man who lives on the street, the child who has

nowhere to go after school, the woman with a disability who needs help finding work – and to put their dollars to work where they are needed most and where they will have the

Centretown artist Stuart Kinmond wanted his glass-topped public art seating areas to reflect the ecclesiastical heritage of Old Ottawa East.

chosen for Main Street Staff

News - Centretown artist Stuart Kinmond’s colourful glass-panel topped benches will adorn Main Street after it is rebuilt. The three towers were chosen by a panel as the winning public art proposal as part of the $26.5 million road rebuilding project. The city’s one per cent for art program calls for that portion of the budget of major infrastructure projects to be used to commission public art pieces. Kinmond, who also designed a public artwork that will soon be installed at the Carleton University O-Train station, titled his new work Main2. It will be comprised of three, six-metretall towers each topped with colourful, multilayer glass images depicting scenes from the surrounding landscape: the Rideau Canal, the Rideau River and the neighbourhood between them. The art pieces feature seating areas that create a public gathering place. The three towers will be located in front of

St. Paul University and the glass is meant to reflect the ecclesiastical heritage of that institution, as well as the religious orders that have occupied adjacent lands that will soon be redeveloped: the Soeurs Du Sacré-Coeur De Jésus and the Oblate Fathers of Mary Immaculate. In his artist’s statement, Kinmond said the work is meant to open up the neighbourhood’s features to the street. “Underlying the concept for this public artwork is the urge to represent the geographical, historical and cultural features that define Old Ottawa East, yet are largely invisible from this street itself. The windows open up this hidden view to the Main Street,” he stated. Kinmond is originally from Montreal and worked as an architect for some time. He is now a full-time artist working mainly with paint and digital media. The budget for the art project is $220,000 plus HST. Main Street will be completely rebuilt, including the underground infrastructure, from 2015 to 2017.

Rideau River path plan highlights speed conflicts Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A plan to pave a path for cyclists and pedestrians along the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East is highlighting tensions between the two categories of pathway users. A group of residents in Old Ottawa East have long lobbied for a gravel-surfaced “nature trail” along the river, but at a

recent community association meeting, some people were frustrated to learn city staff is proposing the route be paved. The route, which the city plans to complete before 2019 and would run from Belmont Street to the University of Ottawa’s Lees Campus and cycling connections there. While a nature trail would encourage slow meandering along the river, residents said,

a paved route could encourage cyclists to speed down the path. Those concerns were reflected by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who brought up the issue of pathway conflicts a week prior, during a transportation committee update on the city’s pedestrian plan. During that update, Chernushenko and other councillors suggested it might be time to

look at speed limits for cyclist on paths, or other mechanisms to reduce the number of collisions or close calls between cyclists and pedestrians. City staffer Kornel Musci said there have been discussions about making paths wider than the usual three metres to accommodate more users in some cases. “What we have here is potentially a clashing of visions,” Chernushenko told Old Ottawa East Community Association members on Sept. 9.

In the case of the Rideau River western pathway, the councillor said he supports the plan to pave the route because it is part of the city’s planned transportation network. Funding for the project is tied to its utility as a route for cyclists, Chernushenko said. “Funding hinges on this,” he said of the paved surface. Staff has given a “pretty strong message” that the path cannot be surfaced with stone dust, Chernushenko said. But Chernushenko said he

During the pedestrian plan update, city staff highlighted that 30 kilometres of new paths have been built in last four-year term of city council, as well as 158 km of new sidewalks. The city has planned to tackle 35 stand-alone pedestrian infrastructure projects in the first phase of the updated transportation master plan before 2019.

City gives rail lines new names Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Montreal has its Metro, Toronto has the Subway and London has the Tube. In Ottawa, the new light-rail line will have a name people are already familiar with – the O-Train. The city’s transit commission signed off on a plan to name all of the city’s rail transit the O-Train. That includes the existing diesel O-Train line that runs from Bayview to Greenboro

stations, as well as the new light-rail system under construction, which will connect Tunney’s Pasture in the west to Blair Station in the east when it opens in 2018. TWO LINES

While the whole rail system will be called the O-Train, the two lines will have distinct names. The existing northsouth line will be referred to as the Trillium Line. The transit commission also formalized the name Confederation Line

for the new section of LRT, which was the name given to the project during construction. Each line will have a corresponding number and colour to make wayfinding easier, said OC Transpo’s planning manager, Pat Scrimgeour. The Trillium Line, also known as the 2, will be represented by green. Confederation Line will be called the 1 and will be represented using red. See SYSTEM, page 36

You’re just a few clicks away from E-Billing FILE

The city’s transportation committee decided to adopt the O-Train name for the entire rail transit system, including the new LRT line. The new section will be called the Confederation Line, while the current O-Train route has been renamed the Trillium Line.

Ice Skating: A workout for all ages Ice skating is a fun and active activity that provides exceptional cardiovascular health beneďŹ ts. Just like soccer or swimming, ice skating can offer a great workout and the opportunity to advance and specialize in different types of skating! Look no further than the City of Ottawa Recreational Skating School to learn how to skate, or to specialize in areas such as ďŹ gure skating or speed skating. Courses are offered at various times, every day of the week for ages two years and up. If private lessons are more your style, these can be arranged too! Lesson plans are designed to accommodate the participant’s skill level whether it’s to learn, improve or master the ability to skate. Call 613-580-2596 for more information or to register. All participants must wear CSA approved hockey helmets.

Want to practice your skating? Use our convenient public skating search tool found online at ottawa.ca to ďŹ nd the many public skating locations and times in your area. Skater safety is a top priority at the City of Ottawa and safety starts with a properly ďŹ tted helmet. Children aged ten and under, as well as skaters of all ages at a beginner skill level, are required to wear a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet while attending City of Ottawa indoor public skate sessions. Some tips for choosing a helmet: s "UY A HELMET THAT lTS NOW NOT ONE TO GROW INTO s .EVER BUY A USED HELMET s -AKE SURE YOUR HELMET HAS BEEN TESTED FOR SAFETY (Helmet will have a CSA sticker on the outside)

System expected to be easy to use Continued from page 35

City council candidate Jevone Nicholas, who is running in Rideau-Rockcliffe, appeared as a delegate on Sept. 17 to tell the commission that the names should be secondary to the identiďŹ ers passengers will actually use to describe the system: the colours and numbers. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said riders will use whatever identiďŹ er they prefer. “The travellers will ďŹ gure out what makes sense for them,â€? Manconi said.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it will be important to change the branding of the O-Train to reect its new Trillium/2/green identity before the Confederation Line

is inaugurated so people can get used to the new names before 2018. Manconi conďŹ rmed that is in the works. Members of a transit commission working group chose the colours, numbers and names, which are meant to be easily read and understood in both English and French, as well as by people with a visual impairment such as colour blindness. The working group also kept in mind how additional line names could relate to the initial two monikers when LRT is eventually extended to other parts of the city.

The travellers will figure out what makes sense for them JOHN MANCONI

To learn more about our helmet safety requirements, visit ottawa.ca or call the public skating information line at 613-580-2666. Remember to skate smart – all skaters, regardless of age and skill levels, are encouraged to wear a CSA approved helmet while skating.

Skating is a great way to be active and enjoy winter!

City offers a quiet tribute to Ottawa’s tragedy Small gestures, heavy words mark one-year anniversary of bus-train collision that killed six Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Sept. 18, 2013 was one of the darkest days of her life, transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans said as the city marked one year since a bus-train collision that killed six people. City officials shared remarks in honour of the six deceased during a transit commission meeting on Sept. 17. The fatal crash happened at 8:48 a.m. on Sept. 18 last year, when more than 90 people were riding the Route 76 bus from Barrhaven heading into Ottawa. The Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the cause of the crash, which saw the doubledecker bus plow through a flashing level crossing at a level rail crossing near Woodroffe Road and the Fallowfield Transitway station and collide with a westbound Via Rail passenger train Number 51 headed to Toronto. “On that fatal day, six of our neighbours left their homes as they did every day, never to return,” said Mayor

OC Transpo operators pulled over their buses at 8:48 a.m. on Sept. 18 if it was safe to do so to observe a moment of silence to mark one year since the bus-train collision that killed six people, including a bus driver. Jim Watson. “There is nothing we can ever do to make up for what happened.” The mayor read the names of the deceased: Public Works engineer Michael Bleakney, 57; Library and Archives Canada employee Karen Krzyzewski, 53; IBM employee Rob More, 35; Carleton University students Kyle Nash and Connor Boyd, both 21; and Dave Woodard, 45, the bus driver. Another 33 people were injured.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the crash was “deeply personal” to her community, as all but one of the almost 100 passengers on board the bus that day were from Barrhaven. “There has never been, to my recollection ... anything that has ever made the community come together and grieve every,” she said. “Anyone I talk to, wherever I go, people know someone who was on the 76.” Deans’ voice trembled as she delivered remarks to the transit com-

mission. “I will never forget the sadness and grief that swept through the city,” she said. The councillors and mayor remarked on how the city’s citizens showed compassion and resilience in the wake of last year’s tragedy. “My hope is that the most prominent memories are not of grief, but of kindness and strength,” Deans said. After consultation with the victims’ families, the city decided on a low-key recognition of the fateful anniversary. No event was held, but the flags at city hall were lowered to half mast. “We are doing what the families want,” Harder said. Craig Watson, president of the local transit workers’ union, said some OC Transpo employees wore shorts and Woodard’s favourite colour, green, to honour their fallen colleague on Sept. 18. Drivers also marked a moment of silence at 8:48 a.m. by pulling their buses to the side of the road if it was safe to do so, Watson said. She is also working with the families to decide on a permanent memorial. OC Transpo retired Route 76’s number on Aug. 29 and replaced it with Route 72. SAFETY CHANGES

Shortly after the collision last year the city reduced the speed limit on the Transitway from 60 to 50 kilometres per hour through the rail crossing.

Sign clutter and trees and shrubs were cleared away from the area around the crossing and a flashing warning light was added to remind bus drivers of the crossing 210 metres in advance in the northbound direction. Throughout the year since the crash, residents had been reporting an increase in rail-crossing signal malfunctions – something Harder has said has been ongoing since the signal upgrades were approved in 2012, but residents are more sensitive to the signal issues after the crash. The malfunctions resulted in the lights flashing and gates lowering when a train is not approaching – something Via calls “failsafe mode.” The Crown Corporation apologized for the issues earlier this year and set out to spend $3.5 million to fix the issues, which include hydroline interference, salt contamination in the tracks, electrical and mechanical issues and operational problems when trains stop on the tracks between signals. All the upgrades are expected to be completed by next spring. Rail signal issues have not been identified as a potential contributor to the bus-train crash, according to the Transportation Safety Board. The signal at the Transitway level crossing was functioning on Sept. 18 last year. The board was set to give an update on the Sept. 18 collision investigation on Sept. 24, after this newspaper’s deadline. See ottawacommunitynews. com for updates.

The storied and revered Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry was honoured by the City of Ottawa on Sept. 20, following a ‘Freedom of the City’ parade that wound through the city’s downtown core. The commemoration ceremony held in front of City Hall marked the 100th anniversary of the regiment, which formed in Ottawa at the outbreak of the First World War. Troops from the unit fought in the First World War, Second World War, and the wars in Korea and Afghanistan. The event tied in to the annual Canada Army Run, held the following day.

Regional Group plans lots of townhomes for Oblate lands laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Old Ottawa East residents applauded a developer’s plans to build on the Oblate lands, even as some people expressed concerns about traffic and parking. Neighbours packed into the auditorium at St. Paul University to hear Regional Group’s detailed vision for how it will build homes that fit within the parameters of a city-approved community design plan for the mostly vacant 10.5-hectare property. The plan will see the historic Deschâtelets Building re-used – possibly as a seniors’ residence – and the grande allée retained as a pedestrian street flanked by mixed-use buildings, including some commercial uses (possibly a grocery store), apartments and possibly social housing. When all the construction is complete – hopefully in 10 years, according to Regional Group’s manager of development, Josh Kardish – the site will include a total of 970 housing units, including the Deschâtelets Building, apartments, condos and low-rise houses. Commenting on the downturn in the condo market, architect Barry Hobin said the plan rests on providing a

variety of styles of homes – mostly low-rise townhomes and singles around three storeys in height. There would be three, nine-storey towers behind St. Paul University. “Our approach is to create a village with a diversity of house types,” Hobin said. “The type that’s hitting the wall right now is condominium ... We don’t want to overbuild any particular house type.” Construction in the former institutional lands beside and behind St. Paul University could begin as early as next fall, with the first residents starting to move in during the summer of 2016. In the meantime, access to the site will be limited. Extensive soil cleanup work should begin later this fall, after city approvals, to remove old construction debris, coal ash and cinders. Open areas residents have historically used as park space will be blocked off for the safety of workers, Kardish said. The new community would be designed in a “new urbanism,” fashion, with back laneways, patios over back garages instead of backyards and no driveways on the planned new streets.

Developer Regional Group revealed draft plans for its new, 970-unit community on the Oblate lands around St. Paul University on Sept. 16.

should be easy enough to implement within our farm industry, but are they being implemented? As a humane society, we know our strength comes from our community members. As part of National Farm Animal Awareness Week, we encourage you to take steps to help improve the welfare of food animals. Some actions you can take include joining the Meatless Mondays movement by incorporating more plant-based meals into your menu planning, visiting local farmers’ markets and practicing conscious consumerism at supermarkets by reading labels and buying from alternative producers that > ÜÊ> > ÃÊÌ ÊiÝ«iÀ i ViÊ a higher quality of life. Most importantly, you can speak out for farm animals and raise awareness in our community.

As an animal welfare organization, the focus for the Ottawa Humane Society is not to abolish the use of animals within our food industry but rather to promote the humane treatment of these animals. Following the five freedoms model, we believe that all animals are entitled to the following: UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê Õ }iÀÊÊ or thirst UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê` ÃV v ÀÌÊ UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê«> ]ÊÊÊ injury or disease UÊ Àii` ÊÌ ÊiÝ«ÀiÃÃÊÊ Ê normal behaviour UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Êvi>ÀÊ> `ÊÊ distress We strive to ensure that farm animals also receive treatment in accordance with the five freedoms, and we support the work of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) in advocating for humane practices in farm animal care. Seemingly, these five freedoms guidelines

“That was way to easy!�

Residents voice traffic concerns about development Continued from page 48

That will free up space along the streets for between 100 and 120 onstreet parking spaces that will provide parking for visitors, Josh Kardish. That design concept is the one hesitation he had to be convinced of, said Josh’s father and president of the company, David Kardish. The marketing strategy will focus on asking homebuyers to trade a green backyard for an improved public realm: access to green, drivewayfree boulevards and multi-use pathways, as well as at least two parking spaces per home.

“That’s my only trepidation,� David Kardish said. “This is something I can to be convinced of. The streetscapes are really improved ... We will see if the market will accept this.� David Kardish sits on the board of the Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation and has a personal interest in affordable and social housing, which led him to suggest a partnership to build approximately 50 affordable housing units as part of the project. That partnership is still in the works, but David Kardish said he is willing to contribute financially and he is convinced it will happen. Residents who attended the Sept. 16 presentation were more concerned

about the traffic the new development could create, especially since Main Street will be reduced to one lane for vehicles in each direction when it gets a “complete streetâ€? makeover in 2015 and 2016. Josh Kardish said Regional Group is designing the new community with the intent of keeping car use low by providing access to cycling paths along the Rideau River, which will connect to the Lees Transitway station, as well as the cycle lanes that will be built on Main Street. Traffic circulation will be limited within the community, he said. Other residents expressed concern about a “gated communityâ€? effect due to the lack of vehicular access on the north side of the site, at Springhurst. There will be three access points for vehicles: Oblates Avenue and an extension of Herridge Street off Main Street and a secondary access point from Clegg Street. St. Paul University owns the land on the south side of the grand allĂŠe. Josh Kardish said officials from the university are collaborating with Regional Group on plans to construct buildings of a similar scale to the developer’s property on the other side of the allĂŠe. The St. Paul buildings could include student residences and even a new community centre, which the university has been open to, Josh Kardish said. A website, oblatesredevelopment. ca, has been set up to provide detailed information to Old Ottawa East residents and to collect their concerns and questions.

Mayor Jim Watson has added support for a private-public partnership to build a new central library to his re-election platform.

Watson supports new library partnership Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson is throwing is support behind the Ottawa Public Library board’s push to find a partner to build a new central library. In a campaign rally on Sept. 15 supporting his bid for reelection, Watson announced that he would push for a new main branch to be included in the list of priorities for the next four-year term of council. Watson said he’d like to see the necessary research and public consultation done within the first year of the term, which starts on Dec. 1 after a new city council is elected Oct. 27.

“Our library ... Perhaps at one point it served us well, but clearly with the growth of the city and amalgamation, we need to ensure that we have a library that is more befitting of the 21st-century,” Watson said. “I’ve always thought we needed a new library, but it was whether we could afford it on our own,” Watson said. “I think now that the library is thinking about a potential public-private partnership, it’s an opportunity for us to partner with someone or a group of organizations to come up with a plan we can afford.” Watson said he supports the library board’s recent move

to seek a consultant to draft a framework and business case for what the library would look for in a partnership. “We know there are lots of individuals who are interested, we just want to make sure that we have a process so that it’s not going to derail as a result of not thinking everything through,” he said. But if the right partnership isn’t found, it doesn’t necessarily mean a new main library is off the table, Watson said. “I don’t want to draw a map, but generally the central downtown core is more than just the old Centretown,” Watson said.

Locate central library in city’s core: Watson Continued from page 53

“When you look around where the library is, there are not a lot of people that live in that area, when you think of it ... So I think we have to broaden it out from just the downtown core to keep it in the central core of the city. That’s part of the discussion we’re going to have to have with the public.” Watson said the city has land and “some financial resources” it could bring to a potential partnership to build a new central library. Although no budget has been identified for the work, Watson said it would be a matter of shifting priorities in the city’s $350 million to $500 million annual capital works budget. In terms of location, Watson said it is essential to locate a central library in the city’s core, close to transit. Although he wouldn’t define boundaries of what

he’d consider as the “core,” Watson did disqualify one neighbourhood: his former constituency, the Glebe. Watson said a recent tour of the Main Library convinced him that the space was insufficient and inaccessible, especially for people with mobility difficulties. The library received a report earlier this summer that shows between $40 million and $70 million in repairs and upgrades are needed to make the current Metcalfe Street branch viable. Library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder said that cost was too high and led the charge to ask the board to look towards a partnership to build a new library. Seven candidates are challenging Watson in the election: Michael St. Arnaud, Bernard Couchman, Mike Maguire, Rebecca Pyrah, Anwar Syed, Robert White and Darren Wood.

Community gardens matter: Lowertown resident Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - One Lowertown resident believes gardening can truly grow better communities. John Woodhouse is taking this belief and has turned it into something he feels needs to become an election priority for the city. “I want to show that it’s important,” Woodhouse said. His goal is to have every community association and community group in Rideau-Vanier Ward to support his cause and ask the candidates to make a campaign promise of making community gardens a priority. In a letter addressed to all community associations in Rideau-

OVER

Vanier, Woodhouse writes: “Community gardens are very important to our neighbourhoods, and should be brought to the attention of the prospective candidates in our ward. While all green spaces such as parks and recreation areas are important, community gardens and flower beds play a very special role.” Woodhouse acknowledges that there are already a number of community gardens in the area already, but what he would like to see is the city take an active role in helping make new gardens sprout up quicker. “It took nine years to get the garden by my house,” Woodhouse said. “Nine years. That’s a long time.”

He said he hopes this initiative will help speed up that process, by showing their city councillor that gardens and flower beds matter to the community. So far Woodhouse has attended the Lowertown Community Association, the Vanier Community Association and Vanier Beautification to get support and response to his letter. “I want to get feedback and what is desired from every community,” he said. Once he receives feedback, he will send the letter to each candidate, he said, to ask them to see this issue as an election issue. For more information or to support Woodhouse’s initiative, email him at toonie2me@gmail.com.

A handful of Kanata North residents worked all day to construct their new community garden. A total of 26 boxes will now rest along a hydro corridor, off Klondike Road. A Lowertown resident would like community gardens become a campaign priority for Rideau-Vanier.

Tuesday was the day to undertake the ritual of ironing MARY COOK Memories something she was sure could blow up the old log house as quick as a wink if it took the notion. It was an iron with a container attached to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron. No siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions. As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe. She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect. The clothes would have been taken off the line late day on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers. Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry. And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of a darker

The simple way to shop for insurance.

colour. Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else. Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out for school. Two straightbacked chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware -- ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs, and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday.

Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape. These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed. These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the flour-bag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board was a saucer, where Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day,

you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday. On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it. And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead

tired that night, having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

t never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead. The washing had been done the day before: on Monday. It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself, it had everything to do with the irons she had to use. These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least three bases sitting on the stove getting hot. On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morning ironing. Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had no intention of ever getting

Candidate vows to pursue election donation change Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Corporate and union donations to election campaigns would be banned in the next Ottawa municipal election, if a city council candidate in Rideau-Rockcliffe gets his way. Tobi Nussbaum, who is running

against six candidates, including incumbent Coun. Peter Clark, said he would table a motion to ban such donations within 100 days of taking office, if he is elected on Oct. 27. Although municipal candidates are allowed to accept donations of up to $750 from corporations and unions, many voters and community groups have expressed concern that

the donations exert undue influence over politicians. The rules also allow for “double dipping� – corporate and union executives can donate on behalf of the company or union and again as individuals. Each contributor can donate up to $5,000 to two or more candidates running for a seat in the same council. In the past, other city councillors,

most notably former Bay Coun. Alex Cullen, have brought forward attempts to ask the province to amend the Municipal Elections Act to ban corporate and union donations to municipal election campaigns. Many candidates across the city have vowed not to accept such donations. Nussbaum is promoting a plat-

form that would see him request the same thing, within 100 days of taking office on Dec. 1, if he is elected. The Ontario government approved a similar request to amend the campaign donation rules for the City of Toronto in 2009. Corporate and union donations are not permitted for provincial or federal campaigns.

Action Sandy Hill revamps committees Committees restructured to improve board effectiveness Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Action Sandy Hill has revamped some of its committees in an effort to make the overall function of the group more effective. The structure will see a combination of committees, something president Chad Rollins said will help the executive board better able to react and respond to the community. “We try to do a lot of work and want to be able to maximize our effectiveness,” Rollins said. “So we decided to simplify and clarify roles and responsibilities of committees and the overall struc-

ture.” Two committees which have become one are the planning and development and traffic committees. “We’ve tried to have fewer committees, so that it makes administration easier,” Rollins said. “To accomplish this we’ve grouped similar issues. This should also allow us to make better use of volunteer time.” One new committee created via the effort is one specifically to address and engage the University of Ottawa. “Essentially the idea is to have one committee responsible for coordinating and focusing all of our efforts in relation to the University of Ottawa,” Rollins said. “Previously many of our committees had some component of this relationship, now one committee will be responsible for it.” Board member Bob Forbes will be the chairman of this committee and is working on terms of reference for it.

Rollins said the changes have not been made because the previous way the committees were structured wasn’t working, but rather because the group wants to maximize and focus their limited resources. “Our hope is that by having fewer committees with clearer mandates we can do more with less,” Rollins said. NEW COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

• Communications, membership, fundraising and outreach • Planning, development and transportation • By-laws and community environment committee (no change) • Governance committee becomes a working group • Engagement with University of Ottawa committee • OMB hearing preparatory committee now becomes a working group

Ashes A City Shaped By Fire

Presented by the City of Ottawa Archives September 25, 2014 to March 21, 2015

201409-602

Explore Ottawa’s blazing history! Learn about the legendary fires that shaped the capital and the effects those fires had on Ottawa Fire Services. Visit ottawa.ca/archives for details. James Bartleman Centre Gallery 112 100 Tallwood Dr. (Corner of Woodroffe) Monday to Friday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 613-580-2857

Throughout history countless urban landscapes have been altered by fire. Unfortunately the City of Ottawa has seen the red heat of flame destroy individual homes, businesses, as well as complete neighbourhoods. The residents of Lebreton Flats, a once thriving working class community, saw their community razed to the ground on April 26, 1900. A common chimney fire in Hull was to blame for the fire that quickly turned into the most infamous fire in the history of Ottawa and Hull. This is one of the many events in the City’s rich, but sometimes sombre history that a visitor can learn about while touring the ‘Ashes’ exhibit located in Gallery 112 at the City of Ottawa Archives. ‘Ashes’ presents the history of Ottawa fires beginning with the first written account by Colonel John By. Colonel By’s progress report is dated October 26, 1827 where 127 pounds, 15 shillings is paid to extinguish a “fire in the woods in the immediate vicinity of the Public Buildings & Storehouses”, possibly as a result of a settler clearing land. ‘Ashes’ not only highlights the blazes that took place but also portrays those that risk their lives to save citizens and neighbourhoods. As the events of fire occurred, the City’s earliest volunteer firefighters had to develop new strategies and learn to use new equipment for fighting fires that threatened their local community. It was not until 1874 that Ottawa’s volunteer fire brigades were disbanded and replaced with 16 paid full-time staff. Today, Ottawa Fire Services has 45 stations located throughout the City of Ottawa and a staff that combines both career and volunteer firefighters. Working in partnership with Ottawa Fire Services, Bytown Fire Brigade and Algonquin College – Applied Museum Studies Program, the City of Ottawa Archives presents Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire at Gallery 112, filled with artifacts and narratives that chronicles Ottawa’s dynamic history shaped by fire. The City of Ottawa Archives is located at the James Bartleman Centre, 100 Tallwood Drive. 2014-09-8059-24683 R0012908239-0925

This artist’s concept shows what the future public square near the Tunney’s Pasture transit station would look like. The National Capital Commission approved a 25-year redevelopment plan for the site on Sept. 16.

NCC approves Tunney’s Pasture master plan Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News – A long-term redevelopment plan for Tunney’s Pasture was given the green light on Sept. 16, paving the way for a very different future to take shape at the federal office complex. By approving the plan, the National Capital Commission has set in motion a 25year process of segmented construction, where each parcel of the 49-hectare site will be approved and developed separately, often with a private partner. Created in the 1960s, Tunney’s Pasture houses 10,000 federal government employees in 19 buildings, and has seen little change since that time. The size of the property, its location near downtown and proximity to rapid transit (and soon, LRT) prompted the federal government to explore what the future could hold for the site. A

plan showcased to residents in late 2013 addressed a number of criticisms levelled at preliminary plans put forth a year earlier – namely, a lack of new residential and mixeduse space. The approved plan shows 3,400 to 3,700 units of residential development scattered throughout the area, a civic plaza and employment/retail hub by Tunney’s Pasture transit station, a block-sized community park, and better access to the Ottawa River to the north. “This plan will guide investments in existing buildings and future developments, while ensuring best value for Canadian taxpayers,” stated Diane Finley, minister of Public Works and Government Services, in a media release. Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, the minister responsible for the NCC, stated the plan would “provide development flexibility” while

offering “a more effective and efficient use of the site, while creating an environment that effectively responds to an existing urban fabric.” The heights of the new buildings vary dramatically, with a 20-plus storey tower on the east side of the Scott Street entrance serving as a gateway marker. All other tall buildings would be oriented away from the low-rise neighbourhoods that encroach on the site from three sides. Low-to-midrise buildings would be earmarked for the rest of the Scott Street frontage, with the existing transit trench providing a buffer. Along Parkdale Avenue – an artery that already experiences heavy traffic – residential buildings of four stories and five-to-eight storeys would line the street, with a higherdensity area located at the north-east corner of the site, near the Parkdale-John A. Macdonald Parkway interchange.
