EMC news - Dozens of frustrated parents have launched an online petition to have a decision to shut down child-care program on Uplands Base overturned. The board of the Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC)-National Capital Region recently announced it will be shutting down the before-and after-school child-care programs at Elizabeth Park Public School come fall of 2014. The petition, which so far has close to 50 signatures, calls for stopping of the cancellation of the program, saying it is the only before-and after-program available for both Elizabeth Park and the adjacent Uplands Catholic School. “This is a much needed and appreciated program for the military and civilian community surrounding CFB Uplands,” the petition stated. “While our troops are busy serving our country both here

and abroad, they should at least have the peace of mind of knowing that their children are being well cared for.” Petition creator Karyn Walker said the planned closure has created a lot of distress among parents. “The program was, with no exaggeration,  an absolute godsend for my family as it allows for a smooth transition for the younger children into the school word and avoids all the kids having to shuffle two or three times a day between home, day-care and school,” said Walker. “Rather than being plunked in front of a television set at a stranger’s home, the children are interacting, doing crafts, learning and having fun at the same time.” In response to the parent’s petition MFRC said the Kids Klub and Kindergarten Klub were established within Elizabeth Park when at one time, the school’s demographics were indeed military families.

EMC news – Plans to turn an asphalt playground into an edible garden is in the works at Marie-Curie French public elementary school. The project is inline with the school’s vision of greening the

schoolyard, said Cynthia Benjamin, president of the parent council. The school is hosting a fundraiser on April 20, to try to get the last $3,000 needed to do the project. The total cost of the project is $12,000. See VEGGIES, page 2

The newly transformed edible garden will have two apple trees, an evergreen, a berry bush and vegetable beds. “Children from all grades will help build, plant, grow, harvest, and eat the vegetables, apples and herbs grown at the garden,” said Benjamin. She added that the garden will provide students with an opportunity to learn about soil, ecology and nature. “These are mostly urban kids with not a lot of exposure to nature and when they go to school all they have is asphalt around them,” said Benjamin. “If you want people to believe that nature is important then you need to start it when they are young for them to understand what it is about.” Benjamin said they also to plant two larger trees for shade and shelter for the children, as well as a number of raised-bed perennial gardens that will provide food and habitat for butterflies, birds and other wildlife in their neighbourhood. “Teachers will be able to integrate the garden into the curricula on health, education, science, art and more. And our littlest students would have a school yard that is interesting and fun.”

She said with this outdoor classroom, students will have the chance to understand first-hand how things grow, where food comes from, to see the fruits of their labour, to feel a sense of accomplishment in pursuing a long-term project, and to feel

Diane Deans Diane Diane Deans Deans

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Const. Rebecca Vanderwater has taken on the role of south Ottawa’s community police officer replacing Const. Gary McCoy. As part of the tenure process within the Ottawa Police Service, community police officers are rotated every four years. “I am very excited to be in this position. It is a job that has always been of interest to me,” she said. Vanderwater joined the Ottawa police in 2002 and did patrols in the city’s east end for five years, before moving on to work in the mental health unit for four years. “It is a very good transition working in the mental health unit because I got to work in the community a lot and got to see the positive things that police can do in the community,” said Vanderwater. She also was stationed at the missing persons unit for one year. Community police officers work as a primary focal point for problem solving in their assigned neighbourhoods and act as a direct link between the community and the police. “Right now I am getting to know what all the different issues are and once I learn what those issues are I will be tackling those issues one by one,”

Mix of children served by day care centre Continued from page 1

In a statement released on their website, MFRC said in the past few years, the demographics have shifted where the majority of those attending are now children of civilians. “This shift has also spilled into our two programs. With low enrolment, funding shortages as well as low military presence within our programs were part of the decision making for closure,” the statement said.

However, Walker maintains the program has always been open to civilians. “The board is arguing that there are too many civilians in the program,” said Walker. “Well for all those years, you happily took civilians’ money and now it is suddenly an issue. Again, the logic is escaping me. From the get go it has been part civilian and part military.” MFRC added that the planned introduction of full-day kindergarten at Elizabeth Park in 2014, removes the need for alternate kindergarten care. For Walker, that reasoning doesn’t hold water. “It doesn’t make any sense for the before-and after-school,” Walker said. “Full day kindergarten works 9 a.m to 3 p.m, and I don’t know of any one who works full time that works less than that.” Meanwhile Elizabeth Park released a statement saying that as part of the implementation process of full-day kindergarten, there will be consultation with the community about the need for an extended day (before and after school care) program.  “This consultation will be an important discussion for our school community next year. Extended day

programs can be provided by either the school district or by a third party,” the statement said. Walker said she the resource centre’s board reconsiders what she called “this seemingly hasty and, from a parent’s perspective, ill-conceived decision.” “It’s been a very difficult couple of weeks and a hugely stressful situation when you have two parents working,

especially for military members who have a spouse deployed,” said Walker. “It is a hugely important program, and we can’t afford to lose it. All we can do is to hope this is overturned.” The resource centre said it is doing everything they can to ensure that all families are well informed as well as to minimize the impact on the families and provide alternate services and resources to meet the needs of our community.

Well-being of Canada’s children still lags: UNICEF Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

File

Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief excutive officer, is troubled by a recent report released by UNICEF. 0307.R0011951345

EMC news - A new report released by UNICEF paints a gloomy picture for Canadian children compared to kids in other wealthy countries. The report on the well-being of children ranks Canada 17th out of 29 countries, a score that hasn’t improved for almost a decade. The country scored below average grades for child poverty, and obesity and children’s life satisfaction. “The fact that our children rank in the bottom half when compared to other industrialized nations simply isn’t good enough,” David Morley, UNICEF Canada’s president and chief executive officer said in a release. “It is clear Canada can do better. Protecting and promoting the well-being of our children must become a national priority,” Particularly concerning is that Canada’s overall ranking drops seven places to 24th when children’s views of their own life satisfaction are measured. Only five countries, all from Eastern Europe, rank lower than Canada in this category. Morley said listening to children’s voices, even at the youngest ages, and knowing more about how they see and evaluate their own lives is critical to improving children’s well-being. “Considering the size and general health of our economy when compared to the difficult recessions other countries in this report have experienced, it is clear Canada is not doing enough and needs to invest more in our children.” The report called for a clearer picture of the investment being made in children and ensuring the rights of children are prioritized in policy decisions with the use of child’s rights impact assessments.

CHEO president and chief executive officer Alex Munter said he was troubled by the report. “The findings reflect a similar trend we have been seeing here at CHEO,” Munter said in a statement. “Changing Canada’s outcomes will require a rethinking of how we invest in young people and how we approach mental health as a central contributor to their well-being. It will require the engagement of public policy makers at all levels to take real action in an effort to improve outcomes.” He said the areas where Canada lags contribute to the increased complexity of children’s health problems and outcomes. “Obesity, poverty, substance abuse and poor life satisfaction are all linked to one another and are, from our hospital’s perspective, making health care delivery more complex.” The report identifies high levels of cannabis use as an area of concern. “There is a strong link between drug use and mental illness that must be addressed in our society and through public policy,” said Munter. While Canada has come a long way in terms of changing its views on mental health, Munter said there is still much more that needs to be done to overcome stigma. “We need to talk about mental health more than we do today. We need to invest in evidence-based mental health programs that improve the lives of youth and children. We must establish mental health as a pillar of child and youth health care delivery. “Doing so will help Canada make important gains to the benefit of our next generation and generations to come.” UNICEF said the current findings show progress, but warned that the study was carried out before many countries implemented austerity measures and budget cuts implemented in the years since the 2008 world-wide economic crisis.

Annual Tulipathon supports housing for all Multifaith group looking to expand affordable rental stock Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - When it comes to building community and creating a place to call home, one charitable organization prides itself in bringing faith, family and friends together to make it happen. The Multifaith Housing Initiative is an affordable housing charity that connects volunteers from different faith communities from across the city with families or individuals who are at risk or experiencing homelessness in order to help them find a rental home. The initiative allows multiple faith communities, volunteers and donors to reduce the number of people living on the streets or in shelters. The initiative owns 40 units in three buildings in Vanier and Centretown and in order to maintain and expand those operations, the organization is holding its annual Tulipathon fundraising event on May 5 from 3 to 5 p.m. Micah Garten is the organization’s fundraising manager and he is currently working to put the final touches on the day’s events. “It’s a nice event, and probably the one and only event where you will see a rabbi, an imam, a minister and a Hindu all together for the same cause,” Garten said. The organization has 90 tenants in the 40 units and the campaign goal is to add another 40 units. The housing is not exclusive to one faith or one demographic. Although there are a lot

of families who have found placement in one of the initiative’s buildings, the group works with seniors, students, low-income and seasonal workers to find them housing. All the existing units are full, Garten said, so expanding the number of units is the only way to successfully help more people in need. Celebrating its 15th year, the walkathon event raised $27,000 last year. This year, Garten said the group is looking to beat that number. The group has launched a campaign called A Place to Call Home, in which the organization aims to raise $500,000. This money would go towards purchasing a building in the city. “The units we provide have created communities,” he said. “Mothers are looking after each others’ children; homework clubs and community gardens have been started. We strive to create and build a sense of community and that is why it’s important to raise more money and purchase more units: to build more strong communities.” The walk is a short one, Garten said, to bring awareness to the organization and the homelessness cause. Those who participate will walk a 3.3 kilometre route from Dow’s Lake to Bank Street. Submitted After the walk, they return to Commissioners Last year’s Tulipathon welcomed hundreds of supporters and walkers to help raise monPark to celebrate with food, friends and fami- ey for the Multifaith Housing Initiative.

Kidney patient stays active EMC news - Twenty years ago, south Ottawa resident Diana Aiello was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

Today, Aiello hits the gym five days a week and keeps fitness a top priority thanks to a fitness grant from the Alive to Strive Kidney Fitness Project, an Ottawa-based non-profit organization that supports chronic kidney patients in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “The fitness grant has changed my life,” says Aiello, who does yoga, strength training and zumba. “I have more drive and ‘pep’ to do things with my ten year-old daughter. I feel like a new person.” Aiello received a one-year membership to the Athletic Club and worked with a personal trainer.

five-kilometre race. The chip timed race is on a certified course for participants who need qualifying times for other races. Strollers are welcome in the 1km and 5km walk/ run. Participants receive a free lunch and massage therapy. Top winners of the 10-kilometre race win cash prizes. Last year’s event raised $14,500 thanks to almost 500 runners, including 8 dialysis patients and sponsors Fresenius Medical Care, Alexion Pharma Canada, Sanofi, Gambro and Amgen. Aiello will participate in the five-kilometre race on a team with other Ottawa Hospital dialysis patients. “I’m looking forward to getting to the start line with my team. We each have a story of how we got there.” Reflecting on how far she’s come, Aiello is committed to her long-term health. “I want to stay strong and healthy to be ready for a kidney transplant. I would like to have a longer life for my daughter. She is my life and what I live for.” Register online for Alive to Strive Race at www.alivetostrive.ca before April 24.

EDITORIAL

No mass exodus in sight

hil McNeely has his heart in the right place. The Ottawa-Orléans MPP has been a vocal proponent for his riding’s constituents over the past year, doing what he feels is best to protect the area’s economic, social and cultural identity. But, the Orléans politician was left floating in the political deep end with no life preserver in sight when he sent a letter to the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages attempting to stop the move of Department of National Defence staff and military personnel to the Nortel Campus in the city’s west end. McNeely seems to think the relocation will result in a mass exodus of the Orléans francophone community. Granted, any DND employee who happens to own a house in Orléans won’t be happy with a longer commute time. But who would be? It’s a little unreasonable to ask the federal government or its agencies not to relocate its staff or set up shop in a new part of town because it will result in a longer car or bus ride for its employees. No one is forcing DND staff to move – they can choose to maintain homes in Orléans or move to a residence a little closer to the Nortel Campus. This is an economic reality that those of us who

work for private businesses face. Also, there is no way for McNeely to know how many of the affected employees currently live in Orléans, or where they would prefer to live. As for McNeely’s suggestion that the relocation threatens the francophone character of the Orléans community, that is another red herring that distracts residents from the real problem. The MPP, and his fellow east-end politicians, should focus their efforts on convincing businesses to locate in Orléans, instead of relying on strictly remaining a bedroom community for federal civil servants. After the economic downturn of 2008 and the subsequent budgetary struggles faced by the provincial and federal governments, many Ontarians are thankful simply to have jobs, never mind quibbling over having to increase commute times or change living arrangements to keep them. Pitting one end of the city against the other and attempting to beat the federal government over the head with the preserve-francophone-rights stick is counterproductive and does nothing to foster job growth in the Ottawa region. Orléans is a vibrant community with wonderful parks, recreation, transit – a great place to live, and play and do business.

COLUMN

Time to get ready for some geezer cinema

s it OK to use the word “geezer?” Perhaps it is if you are one. Somehow it seems more human than “senior” and way nicer than “elderly.” It also suggests a sense of humour which, heaven knows comes in handy. If it’s all right to continue, this column is going to be about geezer flicks – in other words, movies featuring old people. There is a small trend in this direction. Recently several movies featuring older actors have hit local screens, to the considerable appreciation of older audiences. There was Quartet, about a group of retired British musicians living in a musicians’ retirement home. People like Maggie Smith were in it, along with Tom Courtenay and Billy Connolly. Some of the jokes were about aging, but a lot of the humour came from the notion that retired people have the preoccupations they did when they were younger, the same fears and jealousies. Then there was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, with Maggie Smith again, along with Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson and other great British actors, living in a run-down hotel in India, each seeking something or seeking escape from something else. Both movies were funny, showing that you don’t stop laughing when you hit a certain age,

and both had happy endings of a sort, showing that happy endings aren’t only for the young and pretty. The ending was less happy in Away From Her, Sarah Polley’s 2006 film featuring Julie Christie as a victim of early Alzheimer’s and Gordon Pinsent as her not-entirely-noble husband. Although it sometimes seems that way, smart movies about older people are not the exclusive preserve of the British. What is encouraging about such movies is the indication their mere presence makes that geezers might actually constitute a significant market – in other words, that they cannot be ignored while the entertainment industry pursues teenagers. This shouldn’t be a surprise, when you

think about it. That huge baby boom generation has been marching steadily onward into old age and the front end of it is well into retirement now. More is to come. That may be a mixed blessing – the Eagles on the muzak at the retirement home – but at least it may mean better movies. For one thing, we don’t have to watch people obsessed with losing their virginity. When the flood of geezer flicks arrives, moviegoers will have to be aware of the proper way of viewing them. This involves going to your local multiplex in mid-afternoon and mid-week when the parking lot is almost empty and there are no lineups for popcorn because everyone else in the world is either at work or in school. Having made the purchase, you enter the theatre early – because geezers are always early – and look around at the 14 other people who are in it. They are all your age. There is no need to greet your fellow moviegoers, but you will be silently grateful for them because you know that none of them will be playing with their phones during the show, the ability to manipulate phones not being a highly-prized skill among this generation. They will also have not the slightest idea of the answers to the movie trivia questions that flash

on the screen, none of which involve Gary Cooper or Debra Paget. After watching previews of movies featuring explosions and making a mental note not to see them, the geezers will enjoy the movie, nod politely to each other on the way out and get home before the rush-hour traffic. That’s the way it is now but there’s always the risk that the pleasant ritual could be put at risk by the increasing popularity of geezer flicks and the increasing population of geezers. Already there are reports of crowds of more than 14 at matinees of Quartet. But geezers have met worse challenges in their long lives.

From adversity to celebrity

Web Poll

This Week’s poll question:

e are a culture that loves celebrity. Yet we often treat celebrities as superhuman or subhuman – never human. We admire, but we also criticize and scathe. Underlying this, my guess is, there’s a small part in all of us that would like to emulate them. But I wanted to find out: what makes a celebrity tick? This month, I spoke with Kathy Smart, Ottawa’s newest celebrity export and the owner of Live the Smart Way. She called me from the Gluten-Free Expo in Calgary. She laughs when I mention the word celebrity. “I always knew from an early age that I would help millions of people,” she admits. “But I didn’t know what that would look like.” Smart was born and raised in Cornwall. As a kid, Smart became very sick. She lost weight and frequently had to miss school. She was depressed. At 12, a naturopath

Will the Department of National Defence’s move to the west-end have a detrimental effect on the east end of the city.

A) Yes. It will limit employment opportunities for those living there. B) Maybe for some, but most people won’t notice the change. C) No. People already commute great distances in this

city. They’ll just take it in stride.

D) Who cares? I don’t work there so it doesn’t matter to me. Previous poll summary:

Did you go out to see any of the women’s world hockey championships?

A) Yes. I got my tickets long ago and saw several games. B) I meant to, but wasn’t able to make it out

to the arenas.

C) No, but I caught a few games on TV. D) Of course not – I don’t like hockey at all!

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse diagnosed her with a number of food allergies, including dairy and gluten. “Within a week, I went from being very sick to a child that was full of energy and life and a kid that was anxious to one who could go to school and have friends,” said Smart. “That’s when I realized, if you change what you eat, you can change your life.” That line became Smart’s mantra. At 19, she worked for local outlets of a national grocery chain, identifying gluten-free products on mainstream shelves. When I first encountered Smart, she was running a number of exercise and nutrition programs at the

Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex in Orléans. Smart’s prospects changed a few years ago when she realized she couldn’t have children of her own. She wanted to create something, so she wrote a best-selling gluten-free cookbook. Its timely release coincided with the launch of a local TV program and overnight she went from being Ottawa’s nutrition expert to a national celebrity. no change

Despite this, I get the sense talking to Smart that she hasn’t changed a bit since her days at the community centre. How can it be that celebrity

hasn’t corrupted her? Is she driven by money? “I don’t care about money,” she said. What about fear? Does she have any? “I don’t really understand the question.” She’s so passionate about her mission that fear is the last thing on her mind. With a bit of probing, she gives me the answer to the main question of my interview: “how can someone like me or you, the reader, or anyone become a celebrity – or at least achieve ‘success’ in life?” “If there is fear, you have to get over that hurdle very quickly and focus on your passion,” said Smart. It’s for that reason Smart outsources everything she’s “not good at” and surrounds herself with “smart, positive people.” Focusing on her main goal allows Smart to remain authentic in her mission. “Just be you,” she said. “Trying to be somebody else is too much work.” If Smart’s anything to go by, celebrities are like the rest of us, but maybe with a thicker skin and a somewhat superhuman ability to look at the bright side of life.

St. Patrick’s creates change

for your

To the editor,

An English teacher has taken the initiative of creating change at St Patrick’s High School. Juliana Siok started the Take Action Team this year. We are currently members of this group. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to give back. As a group, we strive to make a difference locally and globally. In order to achieve the goals we set, we raise money through different fundraisers. From Feb. 19 to March 22, our school participated in the

Flyer

We are Change campaign, hosted by RBC and Free The Children. The We are Change campaign is a penny drive that donates all the money raised towards clean drinking water. Twenty five dollars worth of pennies ensures one person and their family clean drinking water for the rest of their lives. As a group, we set a goal of raising $200 worth of pennies in about one month. That’s drinkable water for eight people and their families. Being a uniformed school, our principals agreed to schedule a free dress down day if that

goal was met. Students were encouraged to bring pennies to their homeroom class, or to put them in a wishing well that we built and placed in our school’s lobby. Not only was our goal met, but it was exceeded with an extra $125 raised. That’s clean drinking water for five more people than we had originally hoped. It was amazing to see our fellow students rally together to make a difference in someone’s life. Brandi Awad and Rebecca Conrod Grade 10 students St. Patrick’s High School

Work on Rideau Street underway again Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - For drivers heading downtown from the city’s east end, the trip is a little more complicated now that construction on Rideau Street has started up again. Work got underway on April 15, closing Rideau from King Edward Avenue to Chapel Street. Traffic heading westbound towards downtown can still take Rideau, but it will be reduced to a single lane, from Chapel to King Edward. Eastbound traffic will be rerouted to St. Patrick Street via King Edward. OC Transpo buses headed east towards Vanier will be diverted off Rideau at King Edward and directed one block south to Besserer Street. Once reaching Chapel, drivers can turn north and get back on Rideau. Businesses will remain open

as sidewalk access will be maintained. The project is meant to create a more attractive pedestrianand cyclist-friendly street in order to maximize transportation options before construction on the light rail tunnel begins next year. With new condos popping up along Rideau as well, upgrades are also being made to water mains and sewers as well. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said the work currently underway is a continuation of the summer 2012 project. Construction from Chapel to Cummings Bridge is expected to start in late May or early June. The detours and traffic diversion will remain the same. “We hope the impact for residents will be same as last year,” Fleury said. The councillor added last year’s construction was a success from the city’s point of view.

“We will make a point to advertise that businesses are open as usual and that access for transit and pedestrians will be a priority. The construction marks the continuation of the first phase of a $28.9-million project to replace aging infrastructure, improve water mains, sewers, city services, landscaping and public art. The councillor’s office said the city will be keeping watch on traffic flow and pressure points, such as the intersection of St. Patrick Avenue and the Vanier Parkway, and will adjust the traffic light timing accordingly. Residents are encouraged to call 311 or the councillor’s office to report any traffic or construction related concerns. “We are reminding people File if they have specific concerns Rideau Street construction between King Edward Avenue and Chapel Street started up to let us know, we will work again last week, continuing the project began last year. Construction on the remainder of on them, but only if we know the street is due to begin in late May. about them,” Fleury said.

Local artists sought for second Nuit Blanche Noctournal creative celebration bringing events to Gatineau for latest edition Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Whether it’s talent with a paint brush, a camera or a flair for performance art, Nuit Blanche is looking for artists to take part in this year’s fall event. Nuit Blanche Ottawa + Gatineau is putting the word out to all local French and English artists to send in their applications to participate in this year’s night-long event. “For us the goal of Nuit Blanche is for people to go outside and see art differently, whether it’s on the side of buildings or in galleries,” said Ariane Nazroo, art director for the festival. The call for artists will begin at the end of April, with those interested in applying directed to do so at nuitblancheottawagatineau.ca. The application period will last for six weeks. In the fall of 2012, Nuit Blanche Ottawa took place for the first time in the capital, as a one night-only affair based on similar events in Toronto and Montreal. The funding and organization was provided by BRAVO-

Est, which received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Taking place in the Byward Market and Westboro, visitors had the opportunity to observe local art in all its forms from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Nazroo said the inaugural event was a success from both a resident and organization perspective, but BRAVO declined to continue participating in the event, choosing instead to focus on French-related programming. Not to be discouraged Nazroo and Megan Smith, a curator for Nuit Blanche 2012, decided to take over the reigns. The two have incorporated Nuit Blanche and set up a board of directors, but have yet to identify a source of funding. A number of grants applied for and while they wait on word for funding, the pair have decided to donated their time. “We wanted to make sure it would happen again this year,” Nazroo said. The group will work with both cities and local organizations, including

Last year, artists yarn-wrapped Para Transpo Bus in a Hintonburg parking lot. reaching out to local businesses for sponsorship opportunities. The inaugural event featured 160 projects in two areas of the city that were viewed by a total of 30,000 people. There were multiple familyfriendly events, gallery showings and

performance art to visit and observe and this year, the organizers say the intention is to bring back all the success of last year and to expand the festival to include sites in Gatineau. The art director presented preliminary plans to the Lowertown Community Association on April 8.

“It’s really a community-based event,” Nazroo said. “That’s why I wanted to meet with you guys.” Residents who attended the meeting were pleased with the news the event would be taking place again this year. “I remember how important and terrific last year, the first year, was,” said Norman Moyer. “The feeling was wonderful and it was such a family event.” Nazroo said having a familyfriendly event is again a priority, with a kid zone to be placed in Westboro, with those events ending at around 1 a.m. The Byward Market and downtown Gatineau would host adult-oriented events coming to an end at 4 a.m. Shuttles would move people to and from the different artist zones. Last year the shuttles were provided by 417 Bus line, but this year the goal is to partner with OC Transpo and STO to ensure more people can ride the shuttles more frequently. “We want to have three major shuttle stops and more shuttles to move people around the downtown more quickly,” Nazroo said. The Lowertown association said they would love to stay involved in the organization’s planning process and looked forward to working with Nazroo and Smith.

Jules Morin reconstruction set to begin Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Jules Morin Park will be offlimits to Lowertown residents this summer as the city begins work on the redevelopment of the recreational space. Construction will start in the beginning of May and will take the entire summer to complete. Residents will not be able to use the park at all, but as Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury sees it; a little waiting will be well worth it. “I think it will be a real renewal and a well deserved one,” Fleury said. “From all the things that will be upgraded, the core, the grading, the fencing, everything that’s outdated, that will be a well deserved face lift.” Established in 1852, Jules Morin Park, once known as Anglesea Square, became the first piece of land in the city to be set aside for public use. Currently, the park is two tiered with two baseball diamonds and a field house on one level and a playground structure and wading pool on the second level. The plan is to make the park all one level with a new field house and sports field. The park project has been underway for quite sometime, with early plans presented a year ago at a public consultation. A new outFile door rink was built in partnership with the Sens Kristen Holinsky came to the public consultation for the revitalization of Jules Morin Park Foundation, a National Hockey League-sized in Lowertown last April to weigh in on the renovation plans. Construction on the park will surface that was officially opened in January. The renovations will include a community begin this spring. The park will remain closed until 2014. building with a multi-purpose space, a skat-

ing change room, washrooms and park support spaces. According to Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, residents will also enjoy a new playground area for toddlers, school-age kids and teens, a new mini soccer field with goalposts, new entrance features, a paved pathway with lighting, a community garden, a picnic area, seating and tree planting. The much-loved wading pool will remain, with a retaining wall to allow for seating. The park’s wading pool is the most used in the city. Fleury said for this summer, residents can expect lots and lots of construction. The total cost for the renovations are $3.9 million. The project is currently out to tender, with a contractor due to be selected by the end of this month. Work is expected to start mid-May or at the start of June. Residents will have absolutely no access to the park for the entire summer, but Fleury’s office is hoping the new outdoor rink could be utilized for activities or day camps. Sidewalks around the park will remain open during construction and once the new walking path through the park is established, the surrounding sidewalks will be redone. Full programming for the park is still to be determined. The city intends on having it ready to open by summer of 2014. All information is available on the city website, ottawa.ca.

City has more than enough room for jobs: study Committee agrees there’s no need to add more employment lands, despite developer pleas Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa needs to find ways to convince businesses it’s a good idea to locate near transit hubs, councillors heard on April 9. Fifty per cent of businesses polled by a city-hired consultant said they likely wouldn’t relocate their business closer to a transit line because of perceived or real disadvantages such as difficulty accessing roads and free or low-cost parking and the high cost of buying or renting space. There was also some concern about inconsistent transit service and distance from potential customers. “Right now it looks like it’s going to be a hard sell,” said Daniel Nixey, a consultant from Danix Management Ltd., who undertook a detailed study of employment lands in Ottawa as part of the Official Plan update that’s currently underway. The transportation committee chairman, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, said it’s a

problem that employers have a perception that transit service isn’t good enough to warrant a move. Retailers are more likely to want to move to transit-accessible locations and the federal government is also expected to continue focusing its offices at transit hubs, Nixey said. The topic came up as part of a discussion about whether the city has enough lands slated for the development of offices, factories and retail centres as job hubs. The city’s planning committee agreed with staff’s conclusion that there are enough employment lands to last the city for another 40 years and dismissed a request from builders to expand the areas zoned for employment development. The committee asked for a detailed presentation on April 9 after getting a grilling from consultants representing Walton Group, which owns a large holding of undeveloped land in southwest Ottawa. One of Walton’s consultants, Leah Carson of MMM Group, said

Work-live areas are a great idea, the problem is, it didn’t happen … In Kanata, we ended up with a bunch of townhouses.

There is enough employment land ready to develop in the rural areas to last 100 years, the study found. That’s far more than is needed, so the city should look at switching some of those lands so they can be developed for other uses, Nixey said. That will have to be done on a case-by-case basis, he said. But a guideline to follow would be to ensure there is enough space to provide a minimum of 0.75 jobs per household in large villages that are home to 2,000 or more people.

built. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the land north of the Bellwoods Estates trailer park could become a model for switching land from the “enterprise” category to employment land. A developer, Brigil Platinum, wants to do something similar in Orléans.

ers see proximity to highways as a factor that makes the spot any more desirable than other areas. And large parcels of land aren’t in demand, either, he added. The idea of giving developers flexibility to mix employment areas with some housing isn’t working, Nixey said. That category is called “enterprise” lands, and instead of resulting in a mix of residences and jobs, most of those lands are being built up with housing because it’s more

on a 25-acre site it owns. Changing the land designation from employment lands to a mixeduse centre would allow the company to build for up to 1,100 employees, whereas the city’s designation plans for around 700 jobs. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was thrilled with the idea because it has the potential to bring even more jobs to his ward than the city anticipated. Orléans has a smaller proportion of available employment land than the rest of the city – about seven per cent of the supply, which will last about 20 years, said city staffer Ian Cross.

profitable than offices and shops, he said. “Work-live areas are a great idea,” he said. “The problem is, it didn’t happen … In Kanata, we ended up with a bunch of townhouses.” The enterprise category should either be scrapped entirely – something that has been discussed at city hall in the past – or new criteria should be added to ensure the jobs come to the area before homes are

her company’s review showed there is not enough employment land close the highways and there are not enough large parcels of land in the short-term supply that could be built up. The city doesn’t evaluate available employment lands the same way the private consultants did, Cross said. That’s because the city doesn’t have any indication that employ-

Capital councillor wants extra notice for home conversions

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Similar to a pilot project in Sandy Hill, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko is asking the city to require more checks and balances before builders are allowed to convert homes into multiple units in his ward. The request follows a brouhaha over the conversion of a home on Aylmer Street in Old Ottawa South. While the city’s zoning rules allow the single-family home to be converted to several apartments, neighbours were angry because they saw the change as incompatible with the neighbourhood. Since the changes are completely allowed, neighbours aren’t entitled to any notice, which exacerbated their frustration, Chernushenko said. Forcing builders to get site plan approval before converting a home would at least mean neighbours would have to be notified, Chernushenko said. “I know that’s not enough,” he said. There are other opportunities to address this issue in a way that changes city policy, such as through the next phase of the infill design guidelines. But in the meantime, requiring builders to file for site plan approval if homes are being converted to four or more units will be a reasonable stopgap measure, the councillor said. “I couldn’t pick one of my main communities and say, ‘Oh, that’s not affecting them,’” Chernushenko said. “The fact is we’re seeing conversions happening.” He called it a “partial delay tactic, partial negotiating opportunity and partially a chance for the community to at least know what is hap-

pening.” The issue is a reminder to residents that they must keep informed about the type of redevelopment that’s allowed under the zoning on their street, Chernushenko said. “I guess you could say if you feel you have the right to object to something you also have the responsibility to be informed about whether it was allowed or not,” he said. Chernushenko said there is a public skepticism around zoning because of a perception the city seems willing to change the zoning at a property-owner’s request. So knowing the zoning of neighbouring properties isn’t seen as something that would necessarily help a resident understand what might end up being built

for your there. Still, some residents have a tendency to ignore what type of development is already allowed in their neighbourhood until it becomes an “unwelcome surprise” right next door. Including Capital Ward in the conversion site plan pilot project might give longtime property owners the information they need to take advantage of the revenue opportunities they are already entitled to, whether it means selling their home or converting it to add an apartment for more income, Chernushenko said. “We see the pressures for change and the economic benefit to developers, and I have to throw in there, to individual residents who own a home and might feel like, ‘Hey, here is my chance,’” he said.

War Amps marks 95 years and 1.5 M keys returned

Connected to your community

EMC news - The annual key tag mailing to Ontario residents is now underway by the War Amps, which has recently achieved two significant milestones – its 95th anniversary and 1.5 million sets of keys returned to Canadians. The theme of this year’s mailing, There From The Start, touches on how the association was there for returning First World War amputees

in 1918 and has continued to serve amputees across the generations up to the present day. Key tags protect any keys, not just car keys, and are more vital than ever with the extremely high replacement cost of keys and remote devices. Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder need only call the toll-free number on the back of the

tag or deposit them in any mailbox and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier. The War Amps receives no government grants. For more information, or to order key tags, call toll-free 1-800-250-3030 or visit waramps.ca. The War Amps can also be followed on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Vanier will get hands dirty to clean the streets Spring cleaning takes place April 27 Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Members two Vanier community groups will celebrate spring the best way they know how: by cleaning up their neighbourhood. The Vanier spring cleaning event is planned for April 27 starting at the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre. The event is part of the city’s Cleaning Up the Capital campaign, which began on April 15. The Vanier Community Association and Vanier Beautification group will be joining forces to organize the morning event. This year, the city will be celebrating the program’s 20th year. Cleaning Up the Capital sees cleaning supplies, garbage bags, leaf and yard waste bags and graffiti removal kits handed out to community groups to spruce up the neighbourhood after the snow melts. According to the city, since its inception in 1994, more than 850,000 volunteers have participated in 13,100 cleanup projects throughout the city. Cleaning equipment will be provided and distributed at the centre. Cleaning will begin at 10 a.m. and end at noon, when a light lunch will be provided by the two organizations at the community centre for all participants. Residents can join groups or clean their own streets. For more information about the event, please contact Vanier Beautification committee at vanierbeautification@gmail.com.

“We will discuss the broader issues and open up the floor and it can turn out to be a pretty cool evening,” Fleury said. “We have a fabulous relationship with the VCA and with the members that are actively involved, but the reality is not everyone who lives in the neighbourhood comes to those meetings. This forum allows me to have a discussion with the greater neighbourhood.” So far, Vanier is the only neighbourhood to host this type of forum. The councillor said although he does go to the monthly meetings in other neighbourhoods in his ward, the forum format allows both Fleury and the residents more time to discuss important issues. The forum begins at 7 p.m. and will be roughly 90 minutes long. There will be refreshments and food provided.

Cornmeal-crusted trout with jerk sauce a bold dinner choice

Ingredients

Jerk Sauce: • 4 green onions, sliced • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped • 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks • 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped • 15ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper • canola oil • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout: • 2 Ontario rainbow trout fillets (about 375 g/12 oz each), skin removed • 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 1 egg • 75 ml (1/3 cup) milk • 20 ml (4 tsp) butter

Preparation

Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor and whirl until coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add the sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse in the food processor until chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened or about 20 minutes. If you’re using it, stir in the coriander. Trout: Cut the fish into serving-size pieces. In shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk the egg together with the milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in the egg mixture and then in the cornmeal mixture. In a large skillet, melt 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, or about three to five minutes. Add the remaining butter to the side of pan. Turn the fish, letting the melted butter flow over the pan before placing the fish down, cooking for about three to five minutes. Remove the fish to plates and spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish.

he organist at the Lutheran church did her best, but when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina on her yearly visit, she never failed to comment on how the old organ needed a tuning. She once added, “maybe what is needed is a new organist.” Well, the chance of getting anyone to replace the organist out there in Northcote was just about nil and the possibility of getting the instrument tuned was just as remote. The woman who sat on the little swivel stool every Sunday played for the satisfaction it gave her and other than a few words of praise from the minister at the Strawberry Social in the summer that was all the pay she got. The organ looked like it had gone through the war. When I was very young, sitting right behind it, I often thought a ghost lived in it because for a few seconds after the last note was played, there was a wheezing sound come out of it, like someone drawing his last breath. There was a single row of

plugs that looked like spools of thread and even from a distance I could see printing on them. These “plugs” often seemed to confuse the organist, who would push and pull at them, which created more wheezing, or no sound at all. One Sunday, in her frustration, she pulled and pushed the same “plug” and the whole thing came out in her hand. She simply placed it on top of the organ and there didn’t seem to be a whit of difference in the sound, even without the missing part. I noticed it sat on top of the organ for weeks before someone removed it, and it was never replaced or seen again. The yawning hole where the “plug” had once been remained for as long as we went to the Lutheran church.

The foot pedals held a special fascination for me. There were two side by side. At one time they were covered in tapestry, but they had worn away to the perfect shape of the organist’s black laced shoes, which told me she had been playing for longer than I was alive. I thought she must be very old indeed, just like the organ. Since there was no other place to put them, at special services bouquets of flowers sat on a little round disc on the side of the organ. My older sister Audrey said that was where a lamp was placed if there was something going on in the church at night so the organist could see the keys. Flowers were placed there at Easter and at Christmas and I used to think it would be nice if someone brought

his forehead. Audrey had a lovely voice, but she was very shy about singing alone. She had no trouble at the Northcote School when we belted out God Save the King every morning, but singing in church was a different kettle of fish. When she was ordered by Mother to do so, her knees

Her back was to the pews and I often spent most of the service trying to count the number of big grey hairpins that held the fat bun at the back of her head. The bun hid her neck and one Sunday I got the giggles which I had trouble controlling when I thought her head looked like a turnip sitting on a narrow cloth-covered shelf. Audrey had to give me a few pokes with her finger to get me to sober up. We never knew if there was going to be a choir. It didn’t seem to be organized to the point where you could expect to see the same faces every Sunday, even though once a week there was supposed to be choir practice. Who showed up on those nights depended on other events going on in the community which were considered more important. We could always count on one dedicated soul who

Kennel bylaw pleases breeders, pet owners Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The third time was the charm for Ottawa’s new kennel rules, which are aimed at preventing puppy mills. The proposed bylaw was delayed twice late last year after public outcry that centered on how the new rules would impact people who own dogs for recreational purposes such as dogsledding. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry originally asked for it to be delayed in October, when almost 200 people packed the Greely Community Centre and more than 20 people spoke to tell councillors about all the problems with the policy as it was proposed. For one thing, the city would be asking many rural dog owners to fly under the radar if it passes new kennel and breeding rules, Kinburn resident Tim Pychyl told councillors during that meeting on Oct. 4. Pychyl, who owns eight sled dogs, pleaded with the committee to include people like him – recreational pet owners who have more than three dogs. Based on that feedback, staff included a new recreational kennel category in the new proposal, which would cover homes where dogs are raised for non-commercial recreational purposes. The category has a limit of 10 dogs over the age of 20 weeks (this category only applies to dogs), unless they are housed in a building separate from the home. License holders can also keep up to three dogs that have retired from their recreational use and one rescued dog. creating space

Pychyl said the addition “has really done the job of creating the space we need to ethically own and race dogs.” Joan Colbourn, past president of the Ottawa Kennel Club, said the addition of the recreation category was a “wonderful way”

to solve the problems dog owners identified in the previous versions of the bylaw. “At the first meeting, it seemed like the city had no idea … They seemed to think if you had dogs, you were a kennel and breeding operation,” Colbourn said. Still, many dog owners and breeders will continue to fly under the radar even though they should be licensed, said the kennel club’s current president, Carol Broadhurst. “It would be wonderful if everyone applied … but not everyone will apply. That’s the problem,” she said, adding there is a lot of leeway there for the “good” breeders to comply. The second category would put a limit

It would be wonderful if everyone applied … but not everyone will apply. That’s the problem Carol Broadhurst president Ottawa Kennel Club

of three dogs and five cats in place for the in-home breeding kennel category. But after the public called for it, staff added a clause to allow up to three retired dogs or five retired cats to be kept as pets, or a rescued dog or cat to be kept temporarily. Those limits are intended to reduce the potential for noise caused by a large number of cats or dogs in a residential setting, but the limits wouldn’t apply to in-home breeding kennels that house animals primarily in an outbuilding. The in-home breeding category include basic requirements such as clean conditions and veterinary care when necessary, but it also includes limits on breeding, selling and transferring animals.

City staff also removed a clause of the in-home breeding kennel that would have required breeders to be a member in good standing of a bona fide dog or cat registry such as the Canadian Kennel Club or the Canadian Cat Association. That’s in recognition of breeders who focus on mixed “designer” breeds rather than purebreeds. “We’re not in the business of passing judgment on whether animals should be true bred or not,” said Christine Hartig, the city project officer for the new rules. pet shops

Ron Holowka, a resident who came to address the committee on April 4, asked councillors to consider making the rules apply to pet shops as well. But Hartig said pet shops fall under different legislation because they handle animals in a different way. Shops usually don’t breed animals themselves, and they house the animals temporarily until they are sold – not for long periods of time, like a breeding kennel. A city staff review found that most pet shops in Ottawa are actually selling animals from shelters and the Ottawa Human Society – not private breeders, Hartig said. The third category would apply to boarding kennels, which would require a $100 license. Boarding operations would be required to comply with zoning, have the proper insurance, keep health records for each animal, employ trained staff and to maintain cleanliness and proper conditions such as temperature, food and water. Some existing license holders will be grandfathered and allowed to have more animals until 2018. Under the previous rules staff drafted in October, there were only two categories: inhome breeding license, which would apply to people who have more than three dogs or five cats for breeding or showing and a separate licence proposed for commercial kennels or boarding operations. Enforcement of the kennel bylaw would be based on health and safety and only done when absolutely necessary, city staff said. Those fines can be appealed.

New hotel checking into ByWard Market Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Downtown Ottawa is set to get its first new hotel in about three decades – but it’s at the expense of a heritage building, according to the Lowertown Community Association. A Claridge Homes plan to build a 22-storey condo tower on George Street and add four storeys to the Union du Canada office tower and convert it into a hotel got the thumbs up from planning committee members on April 9. Adding even more height to a 1960s building that already “sticks out like a sore thumb” doesn’t make sense, said ByWard Market resident Louise Hout. “This mistake should not be amplified by allowing an extra four storeys,” she said. But the city already decided to allow a taller building to be constructed on that site, so nothing shorter than the original Union du Canada building would ever be built there, said Katherine Grachuta, a planner working on behalf of Claridge. Hout and other community members worried that allowing taller buildings close to the centre of the heritage district would set a precedent of allowing towers to infiltrate the historic core of the ByWard Market. The march of condo towers into the market also troubled community association member Sylvio Granger, who told the committee that the market will become “hell on earth” if more condos are allowed to bring more residents into the market without changes to the streets and sidewalks. “We’re building a whole lot of towers around, but our streets haven’t changed a bit. We’re getting more and more traffic,” Granger said. “It won’t be livable and walkable for a long time.” Claridge’s application asked for changes to parking requirements. There will be 227 underground parking spaces shared between the condo and the hotel, which includes providing no parking spots dedicated to the hotel and a reduction in the visitor parking for the condo.

Submitted/Claridge

Claridge got the planning committee’s approval to make the Union du Canada building taller and turn it into a hotel and to build a 22-storey, 282-unit condo tower beside it in the block between York and George streets east of Dalhousie Street in the ByWard Market. There will also be enough parking space for 152 bicycles and transit use is encouraged by the site’s proximity to transit stations, the city staff report says. Granger and other residents also worried the towers would interrupt the views from

their homes, which is why they bought into that area. The zoning at that time didn’t permit buildings of these heights, Granger said. The city made a promise to residents through that zoning, he said, and now that promise is being broken at the request of a developer.

Another community association member, Mario Gaspereti, made the argument that the extra height isn’t necessary because Claridge could hit the city’s targets for density and job creation within the existing zoning. Grachuta said it’s a good thing if the development can help the city reach its density targets and those numbers shouldn’t be looked at on a site-bysite basis, but rather in the downtown area as a whole. The planning committee chairman, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, was focused on the hotel aspect of the project. Low hotel vacancy rates show that a new lodging space is needed, he said. Hume asked Claridge president Neil Malhotra to explain why the construction of a hotel, which the city desires, is so dependent on Claridge being allowed to construct a 22storey condo tower as part of the overall project. Malhotra said it’s common for developers to combine a hotel with another project like condos because hotels are high-risk. Having something safer, like condos, helps the company secure the financing it needs to make the hotel happen. Malhotra said he wants the complex to be a positive contribution to the streetscape. The hotel restaurant will be outward facing to invite people in off the sidewalk – not buried inside the building’s interior like some hotel restaurants. Outdoor amenity spaces are also a priority, he said. Community members like Liz MacKenzie cautioned that amenity spaces need to be designed carefully to ensure they are safe and don’t encourage panhandlers and clients of nearby shelters to settle in there. The Union du Canada building’s role in francophone history will be commemorated in the hobby of the hotel. Grachuta said Claridge wants to get together with the community to decide the best way of doing that. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathiew Fleury, the local representative, could not comment on the project due to a conflict of interest because his father works for Claridge.

Orléans MPP tries to block move of DND employees to west Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa-Orléans MPP Phil McNeely’s complaint to the commissioner of official languages turns a fiscal decision into a language issue, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. The move of nearly 10,000 Department of National Defence employees into the Carling Avenue campus that once housed Nortel was decided three years ago. The federal government

bought the building for $208 million in 2010 and estimated there would be an additional $623 million in renovation costs to bring the building up to the Defence department’s needs. But McNeely said the federal government didn’t look at the social and economic costs of what he believes will be a mass migration to the west from Orléans. McNeely said the move would alter transit patterns because Orléans residents use public transit much more

than people in Kanata or other west-end suburbs. He added that under the Official Languages Act, the federal government is bound to protect Orléans because the community is composed of a unique, linguistic minority. Chiarelli said it wasn’t appropriate to make the move a French-versus-English debate. “Where was he three years ago when they made the decision?” Chiarelli asked. Renovations to the Moodie Drive and Robertson Road in-

tersection have been planned and allocated by the city, based on the planned influx of new employees on Carling Avenue, Chiarelli said, adding the city has set aside $3 million for the work. “We have spent money, done planning, now is not the time to challenge the move,” he said. But the challenge isn’t the first objection he has had, McNeely said. “I have been writing letters, and trying to halt the move for the last three years,” he said,

adding talks with lawyers are what gave him the idea to challenge the move under the Official Languages Act. “It’s not just about French versus English, it’s about the legislation,” McNeely said. “The federal government has a responsibility to protect the community of Orléans.” McNeely said the move of the RCMP headquarters to Barrhaven has already drained jobs from the east-end community. This has resulted in drops in housing starts and lower property values, he

said. Chiarelli said the city has offered incentives for businesses to set up shop in Orléans, citing the St. Joseph community improvement plan. “There isn’t as much French in the west end, but businesses will adapt to offer bilingual service,” Chiarelli said. “The province just invested millions in a francophone community centre on the site of the former Grant alternative school. Obviously they believe there is a francophone population in the west end.”

“The last report was 10 years ago, but all the main lines were exactly the same: retail, bars, homelessness, market management and parking,” Fleury said. “We couldn’t get all the departments to see the issues ... we needed that buy-in from different departments.” The possibility of establishing an independent body to oversee management of the market is something Fleury is particularly excited about. It’s a model that’s used successfully in Montreal to operate the Jean-Talon market, which Fleury visited last year while gathering observations about how districts similar

At the moment, operations of the vendors and market square retailers are managed by a city licensing department called markets management. “It’s a very enforcement-driven arm of the city,” Fleury said. “We’re not removing ourselves from the responsibility, but we want it to be done in conjunction with the farmers.” Incentives to protect the food-retail history of the district could include things like tax breaks or offering parking rebates for people who show grocery receipts, the report states. Managing the market’s growth as a nightlife district – a point of contention for the neighbours and the merchants’ association – will be key, the report states.

edged in the report. Many of the market’s public spaces become hang-outs for homeless people who “control the space and discourage other uses,” the report states. Project for Public Spaces emphasized in its report that “saving” the market won’t be an overnight process. Ongoing leadership, funding and co-operation between stakeholders will make or break the project in the long term. The report is expected to go to committee in May. If it’s approved, it would give city staff direction to pursue some of the ideas further. Any initiatives the city wants to accomplish will have to be part of future budgets because there is no implementation money attached to this report. The report was initially withheld because the city didn’t want to release it until there was a proposed action plan attached, Fleury said. “Now we’re re-opening it for consultation,” he said.

I was not looking for any new groups or business associates. No new acquaintances. I figured it was time to sit back and enjoy what hard work and some success (luck) had granted me. But, over the last few years, whether it was age or just wisdom, my eyes were opened to see that there are many Ottawa South communities, schools, families and individuals who have not had the same opportunities to grow. The opportunity to appreciate what so many of us take for granted in our everyday lives. About a year ago, a close business associate invited me to the Rotary Club of Ottawa South weekly meeting; and I immediately felt a kinship. Since joining, I have realized the simple Dave (on the right) and fellow load book bags and school joy... the overall Rotarians supplies for local students and satisfaction to homework clubs. give back to life, communities, families, individuals and children what I had so zealously consumed most of my life. Don’t get me wrong. Hard work and maintaining a constant growth personally and financially is great and I appreciate what I’ve earned. But, I realized it’s worth so much more when give something back. The Rotary Club of Ottawa South is an active group of almost 40 women and men with a simple common belief and goal. “Service above self.” It is the Rotary motto and pillar of our collective conscious. We all need to give something back. Rotary, on its many levels, simply provides the map and a vehicle to arrive at your chosen charity or institution. Every month, EMC readers can catch up with the Rotary Club of Ottawa and the various local and international projects we are involved in. We have assisted and contributed to many deserving groups and causes around the world: ROTEL, The Ottawa Rotary Home, Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, many local High School bursaries, local education and recreation programs, education and sanitation projects in Africa, the list goes on and on. At the core of most of our projects is literacy and health… and fun! We truly enjoy the camaraderie and social aspect of Rotary. Interested?

EMC news - A new vision for the future of the ByWard Market isn’t really new, says the area’s councillor, but this time he hopes it becomes a reality. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said many of the recommendations in a new report, called Strengthening the Future of the ByWard Market, are ideas that made it into a similar document a decade ago – but those ideas were never realized. Things like creating a non-profit group to manage the market vendors, providing incentives for food retailers, improving safety and creating more vibrant public spaces aren’t brand-new concepts, Fleury said. Those ideas are reinforced in the report, which was drafted by consultants from the Project for Public Spaces after consulting with the public and visiting the market a couple of times last fall. Now, Fleury is hoping to ensure all stakeholders, including community members, business groups and most importantly, all city departments are on board with putting the new plan into action.

EMC news – With the goal of having Canadians connect with nature, the Canadian Wildlife Federation is holding its fourth annual Walk for Wildlife. It’s about getting Canadians coast to coast back outside, said Jerika Bradford from the federation, who is organizing the Walk for Wildlife event in Ottawa. “When people see how great nature is, they will be more likely to come back,” said Bradford who also said spending time outdoors enjoying nature can help reduce your stress levels. The federation’s goal is to have over 15,000 kilometres logged on their website before the walk officially ends on May 22, last year walkers logged over 12,000 kilometres. The “walk” officially started April 7 and only two days later walkers from across the country

Jerika Bradford, right, and Melissa Lefebvre, left, stand in front of the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s head office. CWF is hosting a walk at Fletcher Wildlife Garden May 4 for the Walk for Wildlife campaign. had already logged over 3,400 kilometres online. Bradford said that federation anticipates beating the 15,000 kilometre mark by the end of April. Although CWF has several organized walks across Canada, walkers can log kilometers from walks they take on their own time.

If you walk your dog in the evening or go for a jog, you can log it, said Bradford. Those wishing to participate further can also organize group walks which can then be listed on the federation’s website for others to see. Ottawa’s official walk will take place at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden on May 4 from 10

am till noon; registration will start at 9:30. Fletcher Wildlife Garden, located off Prince of Wales near the Arboretum, features several butterfly meadows, woodlots and an amphibian pond. “It’s a great location because it’s accessible to everyone and its pet friendly,” said Bradford. The wildlife federation is also looking for volunteers to help with their native species garden located at their head office in Kanata. Their garden, which avoids pesticides and aims to conserve water, features a hummingbird bed, a shade bed and a drought bed. Volunteers are needed for the usual tasks of weeding, watering and digging but the federation is also looking for photographers and individuals with computer and research skills willing to help out. If you are interested in volunteering at the garden you can send an e-mail to cwf-gardener@cwf-fcf.org. If you are looking for more information concerning the Walk for Wildlife campaign you can visit their website, www. WalkforWildlife.ca.

Prince is neutered male, black Labrador Retriever and Great Dane mix who is about 9 years old. Prince was brought to the shelter as a stray on February 14, and is now available for adoption. Prince loves to meet and greet everyone. He has a preference for human companionship but may be able to share his home with another respecting pooch who isn’t intimidated by

his size. Give Prince a chance and he’d love to flaunt his social tendencies. Prince will need a family with children 12 years and older who will actively participate in helping him perfect how to keep all four paws on the ground. He will need a family that will bring him on all their adventures, as he is no couch potato. Abe is a neutered male, orange tabby

Abe loves to have his belly rubbed. He has a very calm cat with an agreeable disposition that would make a great companion for humans of all ages, as long as they are gentle with him. Abe would rather not have other cats share his space. He has so much love to give that he’ll be the only feline companion you’ll ever need!

Visit a Veterinarian No matter how old, you want to be assured by a veterinarian that your new companion has a good bill of health. A visit to the vet can also help you understand your new pet’s needs. Remember that your pet should be examined and vaccinated yearly in order to prevent disease.

Hello friends, I’m Mack, also known as Mackie-Noodle, Mack-Attack, Mack-a-roni, Sponge Mack-Hair-Pants, or Mister Mack. I love everybody and as such, you will receive a proper greeting when I meet you; this involves a lot of licking and then covering you with hair. I was living at a local rescue when my family came to get me in the summer, and boy am I happy to not live in a cage. I can run and play and go on great adventures everyday with my mom and dad. My feline brother is quite accommodating and doesn’t mind me eating some of his toys and playing with him in his tunnel, although I can only manage to squeeze my head in. St. Patrick’s Day is my birthday and I will celebrate it with all of my friends and family and eat as many Pup-cakes as I desire…which is a LOT!

New officer reports for duty Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news- As Const. Matthew Hunt eases into his new role as Centretown’s new community police officer, he said he has one goal in mind: working with the community to create a proactive response to crime. Hunt has been on the job for the past six weeks and said he has already been stretching his legs, walking around the community, getting to know business owners, community leaders and residents. “In policing you are always reacting, dealing with negative aspects,” Hunt said. “With this job, now I can be proactive and think of ways and work with the community to prevent crimes from happening.” With 13 years of experience, including the past three years working as a school resource officer, Hunt said he felt the transition from the schools to the community made perfect sense. He will

continue working with youth in the new role, because the connection between youth, parents and community is important. “I look at my work as a school resource officer and community police officer as very close to the same,” Hunt said. “With the schools you are working

... it’s about listening and seeing how you can help Const. Matthew Hunt

with individuals, working on building trust and working on how you can help them. To me, it’s the same with a community: it’s about listening and seeing how you can help.” The main areas of focus for the officer will be to work on prevention of graffiti, thefts and fraud downtown.

Hunt’s move to community policing was not without a few bumps. He was to replace Const. Marc Daviault in Vanier, but after residents there raised concerns about his French skills, he was removed from the position. But when former Centretown community police officer Const. Khoa Hoang decided to move back to the beat, Hunt was offered the position. “Regardless of the office, the role of community police officer -- that is what was important to me to have,” Hunt said. He has already been stopping by community association meetings, and has met with representatives from Ottawa Community Housing and Carleton University. Hunt said he is a people person and will work at maintaining an in-person relationship with all the community associations, groups and residents. “People have been very welcoming and I know that the last officer was really good so I am going to work really hard to be the same,”

Michelle Nash/Metroland

Const. Matthew Hunt steps into the role as the new Centretown community police officer, bringing with him a desire to work proactively with residents and business owners to reduce crime in the downtown core.

Walk away your pain Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A few years ago, Barrhaven resident Anne Hutchinson was looking for alternatives as her back pain limited her exercise options. It was thanks to a Nordic walking group in Kanata that she now enjoys a pain-free lifestyle. “I picked it up really quickly,” Hutchinson said. “And the instructor of the Kanata group suggested I do one here in Barrhaven.” Hutchinson leads classes in the spring, summer and fall. In preparation for the warmer

weather, she plans to offer free workshops in the east parking lot of the Walter Baker Sports Centre on April 20 and May 4. Hutchinson said Nordic walking engages the core muscles in a way that regular walking doesn’t. The exercise is easier than regular walking for people with bad backs and knees, because the poles take about 20 per cent of the stress from the exercise that would otherwise end up on the joints. “It helps them keep balance and gets them out there and moving,” Hutchinson said. Hutchinson said she mixes up the routes of her walks to introduce va-

riety. “We usually meet at a parking lot,” Hutchinson said. “You can look up the schedule and then it will have a map of where we are walking.” She also runs a group for people who have a harder time with mobility. Those walkers typically take in the scenery at Dick Bell Park on Carling Avenue. Walkers can either purchase their own poles or borrow them for the class from Hutchinson. The fees for the classes vary depending on whether or not walkers have their own poles. For more information, visit www. nepeannordicwalk.com.

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

Anne Hutchinson started doing Nordic walking a couple of years ago after back pain reduced her mobility. Now the Barrhaven resident has no pain.
