Committee approves licensing of Uber cars Next step for Uber licensing is approval of city council Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

After dozens of delegations and nearly as many motions, the city’s community and protective services committee voted in favour of licensing the ride-sharing app Uber on April 8. In addition to allowing organizations such as Uber to operate under a new class of car-for-hire called private transportation companies, the bylaw change will reduce the fee for taxi licences and allow for fare See COUNCIL, page 7

Toll talk: committee approves congestion pricing plan Capital Coun. David Chernushenko says city’s $80,000 plan is about planning ahead and not just about road tolls

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee approved a long-term plan to look at best practices to deal

with traffic congestion on April 6. The motion was the brainchild of Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “This is not a vote on toll roads,” Chernushenko said. “It’s

simply looking at options ahead of the next transportation master plan.” Residents and environmental groups spoke in favour of the plan, which will cost the city ap-

proximately $80,000. Trevor Haché, who spoke on behalf of the Healthy Transportation Coalition, said the city obviously needs more money to pay for the upkeep of roads, given the number of potholes he has driven over. A Transport Canada study in 2009-10 showed that driver-related charges only pay for about 53 per cent of government spending on roads. Haché said, as road users, drivers need to help pay the price; adding tolls could also help to pay for a subsidized bus pass for lowincome transit riders. “As a resident of Kanata and a car owner I am in support of road tolls,” he said. The idea is to get staff to look into ways of reducing congestion. Nothing would be put into place until the next transportation master plan – which means nothing will be put into practice for nearly a decade, Chernushenko said. It’s not just about tolls, Chernushenko said, while allowing that tolls would be considered as part of the solution to gridlock. “We could look at increasing parking fees during rush hour, as a disincentive to go to the core,” he said. “We could also look at adding tolls on roads for certain times a day to encourage people to stagger their start times for work.” Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who worked on a friendly amendment to the original motion that included looking at the causes of congestion, said the important thing would be coming up with solutions specific to Ottawa neighbourhoods. “Solutions for congestion in Avalon may be different than Riverside South or Centretown,” he said. Last term Blais wanted to toll non-Ottawa residents using highway 174 to reduce traffic congestion, but the province nixed the idea. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who said he came to committee prepared to vote

against the motion, said he would support it because light rail won’t alleviate traffic problems for the whole city. “I don’t see what LRT will do for gridlock on Prince of Wales (Drive) and Hunt Club (Road),” he said. “It’s a worthwhile endeavour.” Three councillors voted against the proposed study of congestion pricing. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said he doesn’t see the value of a

“We just spent $3.1 billion on light rail to relieve traffic congestion. I will be voting against this motion on principle ... The study should wait.” ORLÉANS COUN. BOB MONETTE

study aimed at dealing with traffic congestion before the first two phases of the city’s light rail line are rolled out. “We just spent $3.1 billion on light rail to relieve traffic congestion. I will be voting against this motion on principle,” he said. “The study should wait.” Erwin Dreessen, who spoke on behalf of the Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s Capital, said road tolls should be rolled out at the same time as light rail. He said it would work as an incentive for people to use the transit system. Innes Coun. Jody Mitic also voted against the motion – along with Osgoode Coun. George Darouze. Darouze said in real life people do an assessment, and then they make an investment. “We don’t know the impact of LRT yet; we shouldn’t spend money now,” he said. Chernushenko said the $80,000 it will cost to have staff study best practices will be worth it if it saves unnecessary infrastructure spending. “In some cases, simple measures to redirect traffic has delayed the building or widening of a road, which costs millions,” he said.

Police seek public’s help finding robbery suspect Four rings among stolen items taken from 60-year-old victim near Ritchie Street and Haughton Avenue on April 1 Ottawa police are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect after a robbery near Ritchie Street and Haughton Avenue. On April 1, a 60-year-old woman was collecting donations for a charitable foundation when a man approached her from behind. Police say the man told

her to keep walking and not look back. He told her to walk to an area adjacent to the Belltown Dome skating rink, where she was pushed to the ground. The man took a red bag, removed her money and then grabbed the victim and removed her rings. She was not injured.

The suspect is described as a man wearing tight beige leather gloves, black lace-up shoes, dark pants and a shiny grey jacket. Four rings were stolen from the victim, including a yellow gold engagement ring with three diamonds, a yellow gold wedding band, a yellow gold half-carat dia-

mond ring and a silver claddagh ring. Police are asking anyone with information about the suspect or the stolen jewelry to contact the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or by downloading the Ottawa police app.

Raise your hand; time to volunteer

omewhere in a church basement on any given night of the week, a group of people are holding up the fabric of society. They are volunteers. They are holding committees, raising money, feeding the homeless. They are organizing rides for seniors, settling refugees, administering cooperative community programs such as childcare and meal deliveries. They are coaching your daughter’s hockey team,

tion made by volunteers. It’s desperately easy to presume that “someone else will look after it,” or “the government has or should have us covered.” The reality is that, in 2013, volunteerism accounted for two billion hours of work, the equivalent of one million full-time jobs. And make no mistake, we are relying on older people to govern and organize

many of the services we rely on. It’s encouraging that 44 per cent of Canadians spent some time volunteering in 2013. But, mirroring the population, generally, volunteers are getting older. “In 2013, 28% of all Canadian volunteers were aged 55 and older, compared with 26% in 2010, 24% in 2007 and 23% in 2004,” reported Statistics Canada in January. The older cohort of volunteers are more likely to do certain activities. Forty-two per cent of volunteers over 55, for example, sat on a committee in 2013, compared with just over

one third of those aged 35 to 54. Recently, I was invited to speak as a guest at a committee of a group that has been settling an average of one to two refugee families per year for over two decades. They provided an update on the two families. One had reached the end of the 12-months of sponsorship, and the group was helping them make the transition to independence. The other had arrived mid-winter. With a number of children, the first six weeks had been a flurry of appointments – school registrations, dental appointments, vaccinations, along with things like grocery shopping and filling of prescriptions. At the meeting, they discussed how the group had been organizing everything from accounting and banking to acquiring official documentation, all things which take considerable hours outside of the monthly committee meetings. I listened to them give an account of those early settlement weeks and I was admittedly shocked

to realize that the same people overseeing the committee, soliciting fundraising dollars and reporting back to their donors and church communities, were the ones doing the ground work. One woman had attended about six medical appointments with the refugee family within a few weeks. As a parent who’s spent a lot of time in dental and doctor offices for my own kids this year, just the thought of it exhausted me. Yet this woman seemed tireless as she plotted the next round of appointments and administrative tasks. She is in her sixties, like the majority of the people sitting around the table that night, and the work she undertakes is more than a full-time job. It’s encouraging that so many of us volunteer. Canadians who volunteer put in an average of 154 hours per year. Although some may argue that retired Canadians have more time to devote to the services and charitable groups that fill the gaps in government services, it’s my hope that younger generations will step up and step in to fill the shoes of the dedicated older generation.

City council to have final say on taxi changes Continued from page 1

flexibility when a rider books a traditional taxi through an electronic app. The decision came as a result of a review of the industry by consultant KPMG and a slate of 70 recommendations that came in a 116page document. A notable change by the committee to the series of recommendations was the start of the new bylaw. The motion was presented by Osgoode Coun. George Darouze. The change would push back the implementation of the new set of rules to Sept. 30 from June 30 to give the industry more time to adapt to the new rules. The first day of deliberations saw nearly 100 people from all walks of life – Uber drivers, taxi drivers, representatives from the tourism industry and accessibility advocates. On the second day, committee chair Diane Deans said the city wouldn’t compromise on the issues of safety or accessibility. Deans added that she didn’t want to see councillors using regulatory tools to bar Uber from entering the market place. “You can’t say that you want PTCs and then it’s death by a thousand cuts,” she said. A few motions, aimed at dealing with a number of requests made by taxi companies, fell flat. The most notable of which was to require private transportation companies to have their drivers install cameras

he said of making cameras mandatory in cars operated by services such as Uber, “we will end up doing it later and wondering why we didn’t do it now.”

City deputy manager Susan Jones said the cost of a camera in a cab was $1,185 when the requirement was rolled out in 2008. Some councillors felt that

the price was undue burden on Uber drivers, many of whom work less than 10 hours per week, according to Uber public policy manager Chris Schafer. Deans said the nature of apps such as Uber, which provide the driver photo and license plate to the rider and the fact that each transaction is done electronically, makes cameras unnecessary. After the motion failed angry taxi drivers filed out of council chambers. One yelled “you’re biased.” West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry put forward an unsuccessful motion to force PTC drivers to undergo mandatory driver training. Deans said the market should determine which training is important. The committee did manage to add one set of checks and balances, thanks to a motion by Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli. The motion requires any PTC in operation to hand over each driver’s license and proof of insurance to the chief license inspector two weeks prior to the enacting of the bylaw and every three months after. Egli said that he has some issues with the business practices of Uber. He said that the “non-answers” he received from company rep Schafer the day before didn’t allay his concerns and he thinks the information would be a usual enforcement tool. City council as a whole will vote on the committee’s recommendations on April 13.

Taking a toll on every driver

T

olls on Ottawa roads or highways are now part of the conversation at city hall. The transportation committee has voted to have a report completed, and tolls will be one possibility. That any possible toll is many years or even a decade away is the only good news. The city needs more money for roads, goes one argument, and driver-related charges don’t pay all the costs associated with their upkeep. But non-drivers also benefit from roads; they buy the same goods as everyone else and those arrive on trucks. And those trucks arguably put more wear and tear on roadways than passenger vehicles. Even if we share the cost of travel more equitably, council needs a sense of scale. Tolls around the centre core may make sense in London, England, but not London, Ontario. Not Ottawa, Ontario, either. Tolls will no doubt deter travel; another nail in the coffin of downtown businesses already being squeezed by the massive free parking lots at shopping malls in Barrhaven and Kanata.

Few would argue that a new highway – maybe a ring road around the city – could come with a user fee. But it’s beyond galling to ask drivers to pay for roads through their taxes, and then turn around and charge them to drive on those same streets. We’re currently investing billions of dollars in light rail. If the eventual LRT system in the city encourages people to leave their cars at home, that’s good. That will be a sign of success. We don’t need to deter people from driving on publicly funded roads. Since there’s no practical way to add lanes to Highway 417 or build a new highway into the core (thankfully), traffic volume will act as all the deterrent we need. And if the word toll raises its ugly head at city hall, councillors should be asked to tackle the obvious untapped revenue source presented by all the bridges across the Ottawa River. Every day, thousands of drivers who have paid nothing towards this city’s street maintenance cause wear and tear on our pavement as they zip in and out of our city.

The perks of coffee shops

W

ell, the sky didn’t fall when Bridgehead began serving wine a year or so ago, so maybe we shouldn’t worry too much about Starbucks doing the same. The coffee house empire announced it would begin serving wines and craft beers in some Toronto locations, with plans to expand to other parts of Canada. There hasn’t been much of an outcry over it, one way or the other, perhaps because there are more important things to worry about. Still, it would be nice in some ways if the experiment didn’t work. The growth of coffee culture has been a positive thing in North America and you’d hate to see that jeopardized. Coffee culture is one of the useful concepts we have taken from

What a good idea it is to stop whatever we are doing to sit down somewhere and have a coffee with other people around, particularly in a society where people spend too much time rushing around, too much time by themselves, staring at computers or phones. One thing you notice in European cities is the absence of people walking down the street with takeout coffee cups in their hands. That’s because the people are inside a coffee house, sitting down

and relaxing with others. That’s a good thing, and it was a good thing that Starbucks, followed by other national and local chains, brought it to North America. Of course, the importation was not perfect. In North America we had to add the blight of the drivethru, which undercuts the whole idea. And North America also contributed the laptop guy, who parks at a prime table for hours at a time. But overall, the coffee house has worked in North America, made life a little nicer. The vibe in the coffee house is different from that of a bar or tavern.

things awkward, at the least, for under-age students. After the disappearance of the malt shop, where Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica used to hang out, teens have needed a gathering place and the coffee house has been that for some. That changes if the trend toward wine and beer in coffee house accelerates. It is sometimes difficult to understand why businesses that prosper by doing one thing well invariably decide that they need to do other things too. Fast food chains aspire to fine dining. Grocery stores sell bicycles. Hardware stores begin selling groceries. So do drugstores. Bookstores sell candles. Wal-Mart becomes a bookseller. Everything becomes the same. Which is why the coffee culture has been so refreshing. Unlike other gathering spots, nobody is yelling and the music isn’t loud. The coffee house is not like CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

Woodroffe High School raising funds for trip to Costa Rica For every test drive at Lincoln Heights Ford on April 16, $20 is donated Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Ten environmental science students from Woodroffe High School planning a trip to Costa Rica will benefit from every test drive at Lincoln Heights Ford on April 16. Next February the students will travel to Costa Rica to learn about sustainability, biodiversity, reforestation and water conservation. Woodroffe teacher Holly Newsome said students will also clean cages at an animal rescue centre, attend cooking classes, go kayaking and horseback riding, as well as learn about chocolate making. “It’s the experiences and the connections,” Newsome said of what makes the trip so special for students. “It’s the connections with the planet, with other societies and cul-

tures and even the connections with other students.” The eight-day trip costs about $3,300 per student. The students are also raising money to build a tree nursery with local partners

“If we are able to raise money for a worthy cause, then why not?” LINCOLN HEIGHTS FORD OWNER LES BELL

to support reforestation and environmental education programs. Newsome said participants in the trip have helped plant 1,200 trees in the area. The nursery is needed to expand the types of trees that can be planted in a butterfly garden,

which is used as to educate local children, as well as tourists. Newsome hopes the trip will inspire students to look at sustainability or international development when they make career choices in the future. In order to help fund the trip, $20 will be donated from each test drive at Lincoln Heights Ford, located at 1377 Richmond Rd. Les Bell, owner of the dealership, said helping students at Woodroffe High School is a worthy cause. “This is not the first time we’ve been involved in this program,” Bell said, adding offering a test drive is a good way to get people to the dealership and a good way to raise money for local schools and charities. “We have fun with it. People really do enjoy spending the day with us,” he said. “This is a good, positive thing, and we are doing right by our community by helping out where we can,” Bell said. Participants must be 18

years or older to test-drive one of the dealership’s vehicles and they must have a valid driver’s licence. Testdrives are also limited to one per household. “If we are able to raise money for a worthy cause, then why not?”

Lincoln Heights Ford is involved in a number of fundraisers each year, adding to the parent company’s total donations to schools and charities of $6 million. Students will also be selling coffee at Saturday’s event. The product, not available

Mechanicsville residents air concerns about supportive housing project Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

About 50 people attended a community information session about a new supportive housing development on Carruthers Street Monday night. The building will be the new home for men and women who have been homeless for six months or more. The development, proposed by the John Howard Society, a not-for-profit organization best known locally for building halfway houses, will be located at 55-59 Carruthers Ave. It will be a fivestorey, 36-unit residential building. Residents will have access to 24/7 supports, including employment programs, meal prep, literacy, support groups and more. Potential residents are identified through the emergency shelter system. “I’ll be the first to recognize the John Howard Society and affordable housing raise a lot of fears and concerns,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper to

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Daniel Vinals, an architect, checks out information about the John Howard Society’s supportive housing project planned for Carruthers Street at a community information session Monday night. start the meeting. Those fears included making Mechanicsville a ghetto, decreasing house values and attracting more drugs and crime to the area. “It’s unfair the way this bombshell has been dropped on us,” said local resident

Maureen McDonald. Monday was the first community meeting about the development after the John Howard Society was named the successful applicant for a supportive housing project in December, fitting with the city’s 10-year housing and

homelessness plan. “How can you keep it from us? We live here,” McDonald said. She added the neighbourhood already has a 20-unit emergency family shelter on Forward Avenue, and the Youth Services Bureau has

a 19-unit residential building on Carruthers. “How much more can you fit in these six blocks? I’ll tell you I’m very peeved off.” Residents asked questions about who would be staying in the supportive housing building, and about risk to the neighbourhood and children. A short presentation outlined that the tenants will be men and women with a mix of needs. Some could struggle with mental health and addictions problems, acquired brain injuries or developmental delays. “Telling us the tenants will have high and low needs doesn’t tell us anything,” said Alex Johnston, who lives on Burnside Avenue. Don Wadel, executive director of the Ottawa John Howard Society, said there’s a misconception about who will live in the building. “Most think of what we do as being related to the criminal justice system,” Wadel said, of the John Howard Society’s three halfway houses in Ottawa. “These are people in the

community already, not people coming out of prison,” he said. A number of residents raised concerns about other neighbourhoods pulling their weight when it comes to providing social services and affordable housing. Johnston also raised concerns about having a balance of housing for all socioeconomic backgrounds – especially the middle class – and not using all available land for low-income housing or high-end development. “One of my frustrations is a lot of current development is high-end,” said Johnston. “We are creating a doughnut here,” he said of options for the middle class. Two residents of Gardner Street, in Vanier, where the John Howard Society has recently opened a supportive housing building, also attended the meeting. “We went through the same thing that you are right now,” Sandra Chatterton said. See JOHN, page 14

John Howard Society plans a 36-unit building on Carruthers Continued from page 13

“We went through the fears that we would be robbed or raped … but let me cut to the chase and say these men are so much better than students,” she said to a room filled with laughter. “These men are broken, shy and really nice,” Chatterton said, her voice cracking. “They’re my neighbours, and they haven’t even lived here a year.” After the meeting, Bob Pierce said residents near the Vanier location were just as frustrated as those in Mechanicsville now, but added the tenants of the supportive housing building fit in the neighbourhood. “They’re ours,” he said.

Demolition of the existing buildings on Carruthers Street is expected in the next couple of months.

They’re my neighbours, and they haven’t even lived here a year GARDNER STREET RESIDENT SANDRA CHATTERTON

The site also requires soil remediation before any construction can begin. The John Howard Society will

have to apply for a minor variance to allow for seven underground parking spaces. The units inside will be self-contained and about 27 square metres in size, with a private bathroom and kitchen area. This is one of eight proposals approved by city council in the last five years, including Shepherd’s of Good Home on Merivale, Cornerstone on Booth, and the John Howard Society on Summerville, Cambridge and Gardner. According to city documents, about 100,000 residents in Ottawa (or 40,000 households) live in poverty. Last year alone, 6,800 individuals stayed in emergency shelters.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

By making a planned gift to CHEO you not only help future generations of children, but you also provide some tax relief to your estate, while still providing for your family members. Here are some ways you can create your Forever CHEO legacy: make a bequest in your Will; create an endowment fund; name CHEO as the beneficiary of your RRSPs or RRIFs; or take out a life insurance policy with CHEO as the beneficiary.

CONSIDER CREATING A TRULY LASTING LEGACY AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHEO IS FOREVER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Hand-me-down box came with a colourful surprise MARY COOK

T

he spring hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie was waiting for us at the station in Renfrew. The stationmaster had called; a man of few words, and all he said was, “It’s here.” We knew exactly what he was talking about. It would mean a trip into Renfrew with the flat-bottomed wagon. The wooden box, which had one time held bulk tea and was lined with a heavy silver kind of paper, was much too big for the buggy. So the team was hitched to the wagon, and Father made the 12 and a half-mile trip into Renfrew. It was almost suppertime by the time we saw Father come in the lane. With the three brothers helping, the big box was heaved into the kitchen, where it would sit until our evening meal was over, the kitchen redded up, and our hands washed. I could never understand why we all had to wash our hands before we could touch an old and badly marked-up box that came all the way from Regina on the CPR train. Very seldom was there anything

Memories in the box besides boy’s clothes and well-worn men’s suits and shirts from Uncle Jack. It was like my sister Audrey and I didn’t even exist, as far as Aunt Lizzie was concerned. Sometimes, there was a piece of material for Mother, or a pair of high-heeled shoes, which fit no one in our family. That night, sitting around the box, as Everett pried off the lid with the crowbar, in my mind’s eye, I thought we looked just like my Sunday school class at the Lutheran Church at Northcote ... all in a circle around Miss Kallies. And it wasn’t any more exciting either! Why Audrey and I even bothered to sit and wait for the box to be unpacked was beyond me! Well, were we in for a surprise! Sitting on the very top of the pile of clothes was a big red leghorn

hat. (I had no idea why they were called leghorn hats, since I thought a leghorn was a hen running around in the barnyard!) But there it was, one of Aunt Lizzie’s hats. She loved red, and Audrey said that’s why it was Mother’s least favourite colour. The crown of the hat was mashed down as flat as a pancake by the lid of the box, but the brim was in perfect condition. I thought the hat would be perfect for the days my little friend Velma and I dressed up in our mother’s clothes to play house. Well, Mother had a different idea. It was like someone had just handed her a $100 bill! She went right to the mirror at the back door, wearing the hat. My sister let out a snicker. “Mother, you can’t wear that with the crown all smashed down.” A flat crown was not going to stop Mother from wearing the hat, and she went right to the wood box where a stack of Renfrew Mercury papers were at the ready, and scrunched up several and crammed them into the hat. Right before our eyes we could see the

hat transformed into something that would only be seen on the head of one of Renfrew’s richest women. I knew the hat would be going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday! And it did. And it certainly caught the attention of the other ladies. Many complimented Moth-

It was almost suppertime by the time we saw Father come in the lane er, which pleased me no end. We took our pew and Father had to move over from Mother, because the wide brim of the hat caught him square in the face when she turned her head. So I sat beside her, taking many a look at Aunt Lizzie’s hat that had found new life out there in Renfrew county. Half way through the sermon, I glanced at the hat, and poking out, just above Mother’s ear, was a good sized piece of the Renfrew Mercury advertising silk

ottawa

bloomers at .20 cents a pair. I was torn. Should I try to stuff the piece back into the hat, tell Mother what was happening, or let nature take its course? I decided to poke the paper back into the hat, which caused Mother to glare down at me as if I had committed some deadly sin. I whispered to her, as quietly as I could what was happening, which caused the minister to glare down at me, but I could tell Mother was grateful. Heaven forbid that the entire Lutheran Church know that her beautiful leghorn hat was stuffed with the Renfrew Mercury! She never wore the hat again, but Velma and I were thrilled to prance around the house in it, pretending we were one of those rich women from Renfrew, who bought eggs and butter from our Mothers every Saturday.

Canada’s last Hercules E Legacy takes final flight Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

After more than 50 years in service the Tiger 307 has touched down for the last time. Acquired by the Canadian military in 1965, the Lockheed CC-130E Hercules — known to its crew as Tiger 307 — took off on April 5 from 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron, Trenton for its final destination, heading to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s neighbouring airport, the Rockcliffe Airport. The aircraft landed at 11:30 a.m., where a number of its current and former flight crew stepped off, to say goodbye. The Department of National Defence donated the plane to the museum, to become part of the facilty’s permanent exhibition. According to the museum, the donation commemorates the significant role of the aircraft – a true workforce of the Royal Canadian Air Force. With more than 50,000 hours of flight time, the aircraft was used as a transport plane, a navigation training airplane and a search and

Still no deal for locked out slots workers Negotiations again break down between Ontario Lottery and Gaming and Public Service Alliance of Canada

Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

Negotiations have again broken down between the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Corporation and workers from the Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots, continuing a lockout that has been in affect since December. On March 30, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) met again with OLG to continue negotiations over the workers’ collective agreement. PSAC is looking to secure wage increases for the slots employees, who have been without a raise since 2009, and protect their existing pension language. However, negotiations were again brought to a halt when both parties refused to budge. “Basically they (OLG) were unwilling to continue negotiating,” said Alroy Fonseca, a communications

officers with PSAC. Fonseca said there was a lot of pressure on OLG to come back to the bargaining table after a rally at Queen’s Park in March brought more focus onto the fight of the workers. The March 30 meeting started well, he said, but soon turned ugly when representatives from OLG walked out of negotiations.

“Basically they (OLG) were unwilling to continue negotiating.” PSAC COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER ALROY FONSECA

“It was definitely an abrupt departure,” he said. A spokesperson with OLG, Rui Brum, said the union is making it difficult to have a serious discussion about the collective agreement. “Unfortunately PSAC was

unwilling to talk seriously and that’s why negotiations broke down,” he said. “They’re not willing to make any movement in negotiations.” According to Brum, OLG and PSAC had the help of a conciliator from the Ministry of Labour for their most recent meeting, but even that couldn’t help the groups come to an agreement. Negotiations have been ongoing for the current agreement for a year and a half, and PSAC says they’re not giving up any time soon. “We’re going to continue to fight for the rights of the workers,” Fonseca said. PSAC will continue their campaign of political pressure, working with area politicians to call attention to their battle with OLG. OLG, in response, said they are willing to go back to the bargaining table to discuss the collec-

LUPIN (ID# A111527)

Meet Lupin (ID# A111527), a beautiful zebra finch looking to fly into his new home. Finches like Lupin make great pets for beginner bird owners. They are fun to watch and will serenade you with their soft, soothing song! Lupin enjoys the company of other finches and would love to be adopted with one of his buddies from the shelter. Lupin would like to have room to fly and exercise to keep in tip-top shape. He doesn’t like to play with toys like other species of birds, but he loves to investigate new items and is always on the lookout for fun things to do. For more information on Lupin and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane. ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Serving our Bilingual Community We at the OHS are dedicated to promoting animal welfare and building a compassionate community, but in order to do this we must be able to reach our whole community. While the sick, injured, and homeless animals we care for speak neither of Canada’s official languages, we recognize that a great many of the human residents of the Ottawa area are francophone. We know that we must extend our reach to include French speakers in order to further

our mission to build a brighter, more humane community. Our goal is to provide important community services, be it reuniting lost pets with their owners, finding forever homes for homeless animals, or educating the public about animal welfare, in both official languages. To this end, we are currently in the process of translating OHS documents and materials, with a focus on those most frequently used by the public.

Additionally, we are very proud to offer all of our Humane Education school presentations in both French and English. Since the beginning of this school year alone, we have provided French presentations to over 2,300 children and counting. Bilingualism is such an important part of our community and culture here in Ottawa and we are proud to be embracing it organization-wide.

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

Battle of Vimy Ridge remembered Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Legion members, politicians, and local youth gathered on April 9 to mark the 99th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge at Vimy Memorial Bridge in Riverside South. Members of the Barrhaven and Manotick branches of the Royal Canadian Legion organized the second annual event, which also included local army cadets and the Falkland Sea Cadet band. Legion members and local politicians gathered at Claudette Cain Park to remember the battle as well as those who lost their lives almost a century ago. The Battle of Vimy Ridge lasted for three days; 3,598 Canadians died. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Nepean MP Chandra Arya, Mayor Jim Watson, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder all delivered remarks

before laying wreaths. “We must not forget the brave souls who gave their lives,” Arya said. “We owe them our everlasting gratitude.” Watson said it’s important that Canadians continue to honour war heroes and those who died in battle. His father and grandfather both fought for Canada. Thinking of the sacrifices made by families 99 years ago makes some of the complaints that come into her office seem quite small, said Harder, such as a dog barking or a fence painted a colour a neighbour doesn’t like. “I wonder today, I won-

der how many people would want to allow their children to go fight, like many of our great-grandparents did?” she said. The bridge was originally called the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge when it was completed in 2014, and connects Barrhaven and Riverside South. Later that year, city council approved the Vimy Memorial Bridge name, after local legion members made the suggestion. It was a fitting spot, Watson said, to remember the anniversary.

Wit, intensity and booze mix in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Audiences will have the chance to “eavesdrop on a fiery relationship” when Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opens April 7 at the Gladstone Theatre. The play, a dark comedy written by Edward Albee, chronicles a night between husband and wife George, played by Paul Rainville, and Martha, played by Rachel Eugster, while they entertain a younger couple, played by Grace Gordon and Cory Thibert, playing Honey and Nick, respectively. The show’s director, Ian Farthing, said it will be an intense experience for audiences. “If you mix wit, intensity and booze, you are going to have quite a full evening,” Farthing said of the play. But it’s the verbal sparring reminiscent of some of Shakespeare’s characters, including of Kate and Petruchio in Taming of the Shrew or Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, which has a lot of appeal for Farthing as a director.

“There is this wonderful wordplay between the characters and it’s in the midst of all the darkness — it is so funny.” Contributing to the dark wit is Eugster, who is also a founding partner of Bear & Co., a small local theatre collective. “The text itself, it’s not one I have loved my whole life; it’s brutal and vicious,” Eugster said. “But one of the things that surprised me was how I grew to love it — it’s rich and it’s textured and it’s deep and profound and it’s not a pretty message or a happy one, but it’s beautifully written.” Eugster said Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf was a logical next step for Bear & Co. after it produced The Glass Menagerie last year. This is the theatre collective’s fourth show at the Gladstone. Tuesday through Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. There’s a Sunday matinee on April 10, at 2:30 p.m. The show’s runtime is two hours and 50 minutes.

Brew Donkey benefits from new regulatory amendments Ministry of Government and Consumer Services proposes changes to the Travel Industry Act Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Brew Donkey owner and operator Brad Campeau’s first call on April 18 will be to the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. That call will ask whether his business, Brew Donkey, can operate as intended, selling bus transportation and brewery tours with tickets and transportation sold on his website. More than a year ago, Campeau’s battle with the Travel Industry Council of Ontario started. TICO, a regulatory body enforcing the Travel Industry Act under the ministry’s purview, determined his bus transportation brewery tours meant he was operating

as a travel agency and his business wasn’t compliant with the act. While Campeau thought he was exempt, TICO said he wasn’t and said Campeau could face jail time and fines if he didn’t comply. After participating in consultations and speaking with a senior policy analyst, Brew Donkey could be compliant, in its original form, by July 1. “I didn’t go this route because I wanted it to go my way, even though Brew Donkey is partly a stubborn a-- based company. I did this because I thought it was worthwhile and something that the public wanted,” Campeau said. See BATTLE, page 28

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Brad Campeau is hopeful his battle with the Travel Industry Council of Ontario will be over after regulatory amendments are approved and implemented that exempt his business, Brew Donkey, which provides brewery tours with bus transportation, from the Travel Industry Act.

Farm Boy coming to Westboro

A new urban concept store will open its doors this summer on McRae Avenue Westboro is getting its very own Farm Boy, and it comes with a twist. The store, to be located at 317 McRae Ave. near Scott Street, will be Farm Boy’s first urban concept store. “The new urban store concept was a natural development for Farm Boy,” said Jeff York, Farm Boy CEO in a press release, adding the new format has a smaller footprint than the chain’s other locations. The store, expected to open this summer, will be located on the first floor of a new residential development. It will have locally sourced foods, fresh

produce, natural and organic foods and specialty items, such as artisanal cheese, fresh meats and seafood. The store will also have a wide selection of ready-to-eat fresh meals and an eating area with free Wi-Fi. This won’t be Farm Boy’s last urban location either; the company said similar stores are being considered as it expands. This is Farm Boy’s 21st location, and it will be about 1,800 square metres and will have underground parking. They are adding 150 jobs and a job fair will be held at the Nepean High School cafeteria, 574 Broadview Ave., on April 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Flowering trees and birds the focus of upcoming Experimental Farm tours Flowering trees, blossoms and pollination are the focus of an upcoming tour at the Central Experimental Farm, April 24. There will be guided tours, with guides speaking to the effects of climate change on the flowering and leafing-out of trees with a special focus on magnolias. Guiding the tour, which begins at 2 p.m. at Building 72 in the Abroetum, is Robert Glendinning and Eric Jones. The tours are free and open to the public, but participants are asked to register by calling 613-230-3276, or emailing

Battle with TICO hasn’t slowed down brewery tour operator Continued from page 1

The ministry has proposed draft regulatory amendments to the Travel Industry Act that would end the year-long battle.

ing a bus and transporting people himself, becoming a travel agency or becoming an agent for a travel agency, the company decided to offer tours for free and asked for donations through an online crowdfunding site to get around the rules.

ONE-DAY TOURS

The change will exempt companies that offer oneday tours from the act. Other changes to the act, according to the Ontario government’s website, will allow more flexibility for not-for-profit corporations promoting tourism and will require businesses registered under the act to display total prices, including taxes, fees and charges when advertising travel services. The idea behind Brew Donkey is to help local craft brewers while providing transportation for people jumping from one tasting to another; an option that means no one is drinking and driving. Last year, faced with three options, including buy-

“That’s fine because I don’t want to be on a trip with people for 24 hours, especially if they are drinking beer.” BREW DONKEY OWNER/OPERATOR BRAD CAMPEAU

“Instead of closing down, we opened up.” Then in October, Brew Donkey found another way to get around TICO’s concerns, offering the transportation from a licensed company and selling the bus and the tour separately. A month later, on Campeau’s birthday, he was notified changes were coming down the pipeline.

“When we built this we thought we were compliant ... I read the law and the law had an exemption for sightseeing tour operators and I thought I fell into it. A lot of others might also have thought they fell into it.” As a one-day tour operator, Brew Donkey’s tours can’t include lodging or be longer than 24 hours, which doesn’t bother Campeau. “That’s fine because I don’t want to be on a trip with people for 24 hours, especially if they are drinking beer.” Public comments will be accepted on the draft until April 18. “I’m hoping the draft goes well and no one puts up much of a fight and that it can be submitted,” Campeau said. According to Sue Carroll, senior issues and media adviser for the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, the government’s goal is to have the amendments approved and implemented for July 1, except for a provision requiring all-in

pricing, which would go into effect in January 2017. She said the intention of changing the regulation is to reduce the burden on small operators — operators like Brew Donkey. Campeau is hoping he can put his tours for July online and customers can purchase both parts of the ticket, the tour and the transportation, from one place. The fight hasn’t slowed the company down. He launched walking tours, is planning an expansion to the Kitchener and Waterloo area and recently moved into a new location at 987 Wellington St. W. — a space shared with Maker House Co. The company is continuing with its regular tours and has added a new set, called the Collaboration Series. Those tours combine beer with everything from roller derby games to hidden historical sites. “I’m going to continue focusing on Ottawa, grow it and build it until we can consider Ottawa a craft beer

Mayor not in favour of ranked ballots Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson said he isn’t in favour of the province’s proposed electoral reform. “When I go into the ballot box I vote for my first choice, and I want my first choice to win, not my second or third choice,” he said, following the city’s finance and economic development committee meeting April 6. The provincial government announced on April 5 that it’s seeking to make changes to the Municipal Act. The changes – intended to increase transparency around municipal elections in Ontario’s 444 municipalities – would offer a ranked ballot voting system for the 2018 elections if passed by the legislature. Other proposed changes would include: * Shortening the campaign calendar by opening nominations for the fall election on May 1 instead of

Jan. 1. * Creating a framework to regulate third party advertising, including contribution and spending limits. * Making campaign finance rules clearer and easier to follow for voters, candidates and contributors, including giving municipalities the option to ban corporate and union donations. * Removing barriers that could affect electors and candidates with disabilities. * Making it easier to add or change the information on the voters list. Watson said it’s tougher to raise money at the municipal level than upper levels of government. “The provincial government can raise money 24/7, while we have a much smaller window: once every four years,” Watson said. Watson also said he wanted municipal candidates to be able to accept corporate and union donations. He argued that it actually increased transparency, be-

cause the address and company name would be listed in the candidate’s post-election campaign filings. “I worked very hard when I was (Ontario) minister of municipal affairs and housing to put a cap on the amount of money candidates could receive,” he said, adding municipal candidates have to rely on corporate donations because they can’t offer tax receipts. In 2006, the City of Toronto was given the ability to ban corporate and union donations. The ban has been in place for two municipal elections. Watson said a ranked ballot system “watered down” peoples’ votes. Watson said he doesn’t vote against people, but votes for the person he wants to win.

that has been lobbying the province and city council to change from the current first-past-the-post system – says provincial legislation is only the first step. “I would love to say this will be in place before the election in 2018, but that’s not likely,” he said. Grove-White said there is still a lot of opposition around the council table. “We’ve managed to get some councillors onside, but there are a lot of misconceptions,” Grove-White said. Grove-White said the current system encourages split votes and strategic voting. The ranked system ensures that a candidate must win with more than 50 per cent of the votes. Grove-White said the practice would make for

better politics and end mud slinging because candidates wouldn’t want to alienate their opposition’s support base. Proponents of the system say they deal with two

Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to provide the road network; Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the TMP, MSS and EMP. The purpose of the OPA is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Kanata North CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate the tributaries of Shirley’s Brook and significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update various natural heritage system features; (5) refine the required mix of housing; and (6) implement policy with respect to a cost sharing agreement. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-16-0007 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or email by May 11, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Local model discovered at the Rideau Centre Laura Winges went from selling clothes to modelling them on the runways of South Korea, Paris and New York Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Laura Winges can’t wait for Bridal Week in New York City. The 21-year-old, originally from Nepean, looks forward to walking the catwalk in flowing gowns of white. “It’s always a lot of wedding dresses, but I can’t wait,” Winges said. Bridal Week is a far cry from what she was doing a short year and a half ago. Then, she was working at the Brandy Melville clothing store at the Rideau Centre after leaving a post-secondary program and figuring out what steps to take next in her life. She had just reached her goal to be part of the Ontario ringette team and was posting fashion photos to her Instagram account, which was gaining in popularity. At five feet 11 inches,

Winges never wore heels and was often told by her customers that she should model because she was so tall. It was a comment she usually laughed off — until a photographer handed her his card. Everything snowballed from there. Within a month she was working in South Korea and since then she’s worked with a number of agents walking the catwalks of London, Paris, Tokyo and Milan. In her first season, she did 16 shows. “I had like no experience at all. I needed a lot of help,” Winges said of those first few months. “It actually worked out really well because I was at a point where I didn’t know what I wanted,” Winges said. “Now I like my job a lot and I still can’t believe this is what I’m doing now.” As a rookie, she took in everything she could, learn-

Laura Winges went from selling clothes at Brandy Melville to walking the catwalks of Paris and Milan. ing from other models and asking a lot of questions. “It was a lot to take in at

first, and I’m still learning to walk in heels,” she said. Winges has modelled

brands she never imagined, including Dior and Armani. She’s even been in a show at fashion designer Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace in the south of France. “I love architecture and had learned about that house, so it was really neat,” she said. Her favourite show, so far, has been walking for Dior. “It’s such a high-end show and every detail matters,” she said. Before being discovered, Winges hadn’t travelled much at all. In the course of the season, she became a world traveller. “All of a sudden I’m going to huge cities. I’m so lucky and grateful. It has really changed me,” Winges said. With all of the travelling, she’s also made friends around the world, with New York being her home away from home. While she had brushed off comments about her being

a model previously, she said those who do want to follow in her footsteps should know it’s a tough industry. “My agent warned me about the industry; it’s intense and you will get rejected.” But that shouldn’t be a deterrent, she said. “Don’t be shy, and send your pictures out,” she said. “Keep trying, you never know what you might miss out on.” For now, Winges is riding the wave and seeing where things in the industry take her. “Hopefully I’ll book a big campaign to bring my career to the next level,” she said. At the time Winges was discovered, she had to quit ringette to start modelling and though she doesn’t have time for the sport, she took the time to skate on the canal this winter. “I don’t have any regrets, but I do miss it.”

Perfect lifestyle for all types of people

KANATA AND STITTSVILLE

Ottawa’s west end still a fast growing community Jen Traplin Known for its bountiful green spacaes, booming high-tech industry, popular attractions like the Canadian Tire Centre (home of the Ottawa Senators) and the Diefenbunker, as well as a wide array of residential communities, the City of Ottawa’s west end offers the perfect lifestyle for just about anyone. The area has enjoyed steady growth for decades, particularly in Kanata, one of Ottawa’s largest suburbs, and Stittsville, which lies just west of Kanata and roughly 30 minutes from the downtown core. 15 years ago, before Kanata became part of the amalgamated City of Ottawa, it was one of

the fastest growing communities in Canada, a trend that continues to this day. More than 80,000 Ottawa residents now call Kanata home and the area is constantly expanding, not just in terms of residential development but business as well. Kanata North houses many of the major hitech employers in Ottawa, including Cisco Systems, Inc., Blackberry and Mitel, and rumours continue to swirl about Apple setting up shop in the same business park, the largest research and tech park in the country. Just a few kilometres west is Stittsville, which started as a sleepy farming community in the 1800s and has since transformed into a bustling suburb, while still managing to hang onto its village charm. Recently, the City of Ottawa released a Community Design Plan for Stittsville, which aims to preserve the heritage status of the area while also transforming it into a modern and more walkable community.

Big city living with village charm WESTERN SUBURB

The past ten years has seen big changes for Stittsville Jen Traplin One of the Ottawa region’s best kept secrets is the small, western suburb of Stittsville, which offers all of the luxuries of big city living while still holding onto its historic village charm. In the past decade, the population of Stittsville has exploded as the area has undergone a massive transformation. “There are a lot of new businesses coming in and there are a ton of new people. We’re over 30,000 people in Stittsville,� says Glen Gower, vice president of the Stittsville Village Association. “It’s really changed in the last five years.� During that time, there has been a steady stream of new residential builds and several big box stores — like Michaels, Winners and Lowe’s — have moved into new retail locations along the now widened Hazeldean Road. “On one hand, you’re getting these really big businesses and chain stores and, at the same time, we’re getting a lot of really interesting, locally owned small businesses as well,� Gower says. “I’m thinking of places like Covered Bridge

Ottawa-born musician Kathleen Edwards opened Quitters Coffee in Stittsville. CONTRIBUTED

Brewing, a craft brewer on Iber Road, or Quitters Coffee, owned by Kathleen Edwards, and a lot of other small businesses like the food trucks coming in.� Of course, at the heart of Stittsville’s draw is

its village charm. Many of the buildings along Stittsville Main Street are designated heritage status. While some have been preserved, others have been neglected, creating a bit of a turning point, in terms of Stittsville’s identity.

“I think Stittsville is still figuring out what kind of community it really is. Is it a little bit outside of Ottawa -- that idea that it’s a bit beyond the fringe? Or is it a modern suburb? I don’t know,� admits Gower.

Hydro Ottawa Ltd. has been found guilty and fined $225,000 following a trial after one worker was killed and two others suffered injuries. On March 22, 2012, workers employed by a sub-contractor were engaged in the installation of new hydro poles and wires under existing energized lines on Moodie Drive south of Fallowfield Road. Three workers were excavating a hole when the boom of a work vehicle came within three metres of a power line which was located about six metres above the hole. All three workers received electrical shocks, with one worker succumbing to the injuries at the hospital. The two other workers sought medical attention at the hospital and did not suffer permanent physical injuries.

A Ministry of Labour investigation followed the incident. After a trial, Hydro Ottawa Ltd. was found guilty, as a constructor, of violating three sections of the constructions projects regulation. The company was fined $225,000 in provincial court by Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey on March 29. On November 12, 2013, a subcontractor and co-defendant, Digsafe Inc. of Ottawa, pleaded guilty in relation to the incident and was ordered by Justice of the Peace John Balkwill to pay a fine of $125,000. In both cases, in addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

There’s light in the dark. As part of Ottawa 2017’s festivities, the city will have full access to the future Lyon street light rail station for three months, in order to host a world-first underground multimedia light and sound show, billed as Ghost Train. “It’s going to be as close as you can get to a live sci-fi show,” said Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 bureau that’s planning for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. “You’ll see streams of light and ghost-like pictures of people.” Laflamme said the show includes a holographic image, but not an exact replica, of the LRT train, and that the show will feel like an image passing by at high speed. He says that people won’t just see the show, they will feel it too. The old Place de Ville theatre – connected to the Lyon Street station – will serve as the starting point for visitors. From there, they

will be able to travel down into the station for the show. Free, timed tickets will available and each show will last between 20 and 30 minutes. “When I first came up with the concept, I had great support from the city,” said Laflamme. “I believe that it will become a powerful tourism tool, and that it’s going to show how edgy and creative Ottawa really is.” The show is to take place when the construction of the station will be almost complete, in order not to shut down any subterranean digging. The hope is that the project will attract at least 300,000 people to the depths of the city. “This is a great opportunity to showcase Ottawa 2017 in a fun way,” said Mayor Jim Watson. However, the cost of the project is projected to be between $3 million and $4 million, and will be funded by private partners and all three levels of government. Montreal-based group Moment Factory will put in place the multimedia aspects of the show. Laflamme added that the equipment used to create the show will be mostly Canadian, and Ontario sourced, and that some of the equipment will be permanently installed at other LRT stations in the future.

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

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