OSU Force Academy is pleased to announce that Elisa Warren has signed her letter of intent to join Liberty University this fall. Elisa’s journey through Ottawa South United is especially pleasing to learn about her development through the club structure over time. She started playing recreational soccer at age five, up until she was thirteen. At that age, which is later than most for players to begin playing competitively she joined the 1997 Rage team. By the time she was 16 she had joined the 98 Power team and before long ended up training with Coach Widdgin and then 98 Force team. After a successful impression on the coaches, she joined the team under coach Russell Shaw and eventually working with Danielle Vella and currently coach Dom Oliveri. As a club, this is the type of individual success story that we cherish – players that continue to work hard and develop as a member of OSU Soccer. In joining Liberty University, located in Lynchburg, Virginia, Elisa reflected, “that all my life, I hoped to attend a university with Christian values. I wanted a school that would challenge me both academically and help me learn with a worldview that was consistent with my beliefs. But, I also wanted a place that would challenge me to keep developing as a player.” Elisa intends on majoring in biology at this time.

Recent meeting brought together groups interested in seeing a more open process

Serge Buy, CEO of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, said the government needs to listen to the community and interested stakeholders ahead of making its decision on the location of an expanded Civic Hospital. “We believe the community needs to be consulted, so if the government isn’t going to do it, I think we’ll do it,” Buy said. A meeting was held last week with interested parties, including representatives from local MP, MPP, and city council offices, representatives from the hospital and AIC, as well as the local community association. Buy said in an interview that at the meeting there was a strong consensus the government should move forward with a transparent and open consultation process. That resolution will be forwarded to three ministers in a letter that will be made public, Buy said. “We are hoping for a response after the letter is sent and if there is no response we may go back to the participants and say we don’t know that there is going to be a consultation,” he said. “I’d rather not have the Agricultural Institute doing this. This is not our man-
date, and to be frank, it’s on our dime as well.” The group is proposing a three-pronged consultation that includes releasing relevant facts, such as traffic studies, historical information about the farm and recent data about the farm and its value, hearing from experts and then letting the

community weigh in. “We are in a little bit of a black hole because nobody knows what process should be used. We don’t even know who is in charge in the government,” Buy said. Buy is hoping consultations can start soon and wrap up in the next few months, so the government can come back with its decision. “The hospital is an important part of the community, and we need to make sure we have a hospital that functions properly. We also need to know whether or not the right decisions

are being made.” The federal government announced in November 2014 that up to 24 hectares of land at the experimental farm would be used for the hospital’s expansion. “(They) came out and surprised everyone by saying, ‘We are giving the hospital land,’” Buy said. “I assume that (the minister) was expecting applause and the fact of the matter is the community said, ‘No, that stinks, we don’t want to see a process like this.’” He said the decision was a shock to everyone and emphasized just how necessary an open and transparent process is when deciding where an expanded Civic Hospital should be located. “When you have a process that is mired in secrecy and backroom deals, what results out of it is usually public suspicion, and that’s exactly what happened in this case. In the end it may be the right decision and I don’t know,” he said. The meeting of interested parties was closed to the general public and media. Kate Eggins, media relations officer at the Ottawa Hospital, said the meeting was “well received.” “It was a really good meeting and the hospital was there to listen and learn.” Eggins said the federal

government is asking for the hospital’s four preferred sites to be re-evaluated. The hospital is finalizing an analysis of each of the four sites. “We are submitting the information and then it’s in the federal government’s hands to do with as they wish,” Eggins said, adding the hospital is not ranking the four sites. The four sites include: • The original site that was put forward in 2014 at the northwest corner of the experimental farm • A “reconfiguration” of the 2014 plan to deal with concerns over the farm’s scientific work • The former Sir John Carling building at the northeast corner of the farm • Using the Tunney’s Pasture government office complex With files from Jennifer McIntosh

If you’re not sure if they accept the item you’re planning to bring on Saturday, please inquiry by email junkthatfunk@gmail.com, or call 613-699-6636. Major Transitway Closure due to LRT On April 24, a section of the Transitway will close from Laurier Avenue to Lees Station, requiring that most bus service be relocated to bus-only lanes on Nicholas Street and Highway 417. Laurier and Lees Stations will remain open, but the lower level of Lees Station will stay closed. Campus Station will also be closing on April 24. The main campus of the University of Ottawa will continue to be well served by transit as most routes will continue to serve Laurier Station. Routes 95 and 98, as well as Route 85, will provide service along King Edward Avenue to ensure that the entire main campus of the University of Ottawa will be within a five minute walking distance to transit. In addition to routes 85, 95, and 98, starting on April 24, Route 97 will operate in both directions via King Edward Avenue after 10 pm, seven days a week. School Zone Safety and Enforcement During the month of April, the Ottawa Police Service will focus on two main areas of on-going concern related to school zones and school buses. Between 2010 and 2014, there were 890 collisions within school zones, on school days around bell time, resulting in 207 injuries. During the same time period, there were 20 collisions at locations where school buses were stopped and had their stop arm extended. There were 10 injuries resulting from these collisions. Speeding in school zones places the youngest and most vulnerable residents of our communities at extreme risk. Please drive with caution in all school zones and do not pass any school bus when its red lights are flashing.

Councillor takes chilly swim to learn about local water rescue
Station 11 and 53 water rescue teams fish Coun. Brockington from Ottawa River Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
A local city councillor learned about water rescue firsthand on April 15. River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington geared up in a specialized dry suit, helmet, gloves, footwear and personal floatation device before taking the plunge in the Ottawa River. Brockington volunteered for the experience in order to learn more about water rescue, as vice-chair of the City of Ottawa community and protective services committee. At Station 11 on Preston Street, Brockington learned about the hazards in the waterways and how the water rescue teams respond in an emergency. “Are you finding that a lot of your rescues are because people are being stupid?” asked Brockington. The answer from Ottawa fire Capt. Peter Lamar, “absolutely.” “I think naivety is the right word,” Lamar said. Lamar said the service is
providing water safety tips, and also encourages people to stay off the ice in the winter months. “We do so many rescues,” he said. “It’s people underestimating the ice, because in a river environment ice levels can differ drastically.” One of the more memorable water calls, Lamar said, was rescuing a woman who jumped off the Hog’s Back bridge. She survived and her brother let the department know she had just given birth and was dealing with mental health issues. After she was pulled from the water, she was recovering well. “That’s just one of our good moments.” While the department can find the water predictable, the public may not, Lamar cautioned. “People really underestimate the water. Swift water is relentless, never ending and predictable, but you have to train and practise because it can really surprise you.” And while 18 years ago the

After Brockington’s was fished from the water, he said he had a better knowledge of
just how much work it is to do a water rescue. “These are a group of highly trained (people) that can not only rescue me, but the people in Ottawa,” he said. “The water’s cold, fastmoving — you wouldn’t last long in shorts and a T-shirt.” For water safety tips, visit the city’s website at ottawa. ca/en/residents/public-health/ healthy-living/water-safety.

Man in stable condition after Hooper Street shooting Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
A man is in stable condition after being shot on Saturday in the 900 block of Hooper Street. On April 16, around 6:40 p.m., police responded after receiving a call from someone who heard gunshots in the Carlington neighbourhood.
The investigators will be in the area talking to the community trying to get more involvement and information about possible witnesses or people who have knowledge of it. CONST. CHUCK BENOIT
Const. Chuck Benoit, spokesperson for the Ottawa police, said when officers arrived there was evidence
of a shooting and a man was being transported to hospital. Benoit said the man was in serious but stable condition and remained in hospital on Monday morning. Police continue to investigate. “The investigators will be in the area talking to the community trying to get more involvement and information about possible witnesses or people who have knowledge of it,” Benoit said. Police haven’t ruled out gang involvement, but also are not yet identifying it as gang related. “Investigators are looking at all avenues; we can’t identify it as gang related until there is evidence towards either the people involved or the reasons behind the shooting,” Benoit said. He added some violent crimes do occur in this area and police have responded to shootings before, but he said he can’t identify it as a
problem area for police. River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington reported the shooting on Twitter, saying Ottawa Community Housing confirmed there was a shooting at one of its buildings. “I wanted to make the
residents publicly aware of the incident and that included the community association,” Brockington said Monday. “I regret that this incident occurred but am glad police continue to investigate.” Brockington said shoot-
ings highlight the need for public vigilance, including community watch teams and reporting suspicious behavior in your own neighbourhood. “Everyone has a role to report things when we see them,” he said.
Police are asking that anyone with information call the guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050. Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or by downloading the Ottawa police app.

OPINION

Council should focus on safety, not price
T
he people of Jasmine Crescent in the city’s east end took to the streets to show their disgust with gang violence on April 10. Three killings on a street within a year prompted the community to rise up and say enough is enough. But that sentiment is not unique to Jasmine Crescent. There are other problem areas of the city when it comes to gang activity and violence. And all areas of the city, regardless of the neighbourhood, are vulnerable to thuggish behaviour if the police don’t have the resources to keep a lid on lawlessness. Getting vocal and visible is one way to let politicians know it’s a problem we won’t ignore, and that it needs fixing. If stopping gang violence is a priority for the people of Ottawa – more so than speeding or police investigations into crimes such as fraud, missing persons or break and enters – then the people should let their elected representatives know that. There will always be bad people. No city
councillor can stop all crime. But we can have our police make Ottawa a difficult place to be a criminal. That’s the best we can hope for, and that hope will fade if changes aren’t made. The allocation of police resources is decided by people who are paid by our property taxes. The police budget is limited by city council’s willingness to increase spending. But the current council has been focused on keeping tax increases at or below the rate of inflation. Clearly the rate of crime – and especially the rate of random deaths – should be the rate councillors concentrate on. The buck may stop with thrifty spenders, but bullets don’t stop for anyone. If we want police to deal with gang violence, and we also want officers to continue to deal with speeding, noise and investigations, the only answer is to pay more in taxes. And it’s an easy argument to say added taxes would be a good investment when it comes to public safety. After all, who wants to live somewhere they don’t feel safe?
Spring just not the same without Sens in playoffs
F
or many of you, the April days go by much as they always do. It snows, it gets warmer, it snows, you get the snow tires off, you wish you didn’t. You see what’s in the yard, left over from last fall. Just another spring. But for some, this April is very different. It is an April without hockey playoffs. In Ottawa we have been spoiled in the past decade or so. Most Aprils have had hockey playoffs in them, with the Ottawa Senators participating, at least for a while. Not so this year. Nor are there hockey playoffs for fans of other Canadian teams — in Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and, of course, Toronto. Adjustments in our behaviour will have to be made. For some, the adjustments will be minor.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Pure hockey fans will simply find a team to cheer for. Go Florida Panthers. Go Nashville Predators. Traditionalists among the pure hockey fans will find an Original Six team to root for. Go Rangers. Go Blackhawks. But that doesn’t work for those of us whose hockey passion rises and falls with the fortunes of the home team. Our team is out and we lose interest. Perhaps we are bitter, perhaps not. Either way, we have to find something else to do with the evening hours.

Baseball is a possible alternative. The Toronto Blue Jays have started their season and even non-baseball fans remember how much excitement their playoff run created last fall. Prospects for the season now upon us occupied a disproportionate amount of time on TV talk shows during the off season. There was considerable anticipatory angst about the upcoming season. Now that season is upon us and the Jays have given early indications that the angst may be justified. So, if you like a team to really get in there and worry about, worrying about the Jays may help you forget worrying about the Senators. But then, worrying about baseball is not for everyone. Fortunately, there is no shortage of things to worry about. Worrying

about the NDP, for example, has surfaced as a pastime for those on the political left. And, of course, worrying about Donald Trump has been with us for some time. We can also worry about our income tax, the thing that we just noticed fell off the house during the winter, the taxi industry, the vehicles the government sells to Saudi Arabia. If all of this seems too trivial, then we can worry about the government of Spain threatening to put an end to the afternoon siesta. If you lived there you couldn’t even escape hockey by taking a nap. One thing about taking a nap is that it relaxes you, and maybe that’s what we all need to try while others are worrying through the hockey playoffs — relax. Although we are accustomed to being tense when our sports teams are playing big games, the absence of playoffs gives us the opportunity to try

something less tense. That would entail gardening, perhaps, or reading a book, or riding a bicycle or taking long walks in the nice places that don’t have snow anymore. Look at the sky, listen to the birds and try not to think about the Ottawa Senators coaching staff. They’ll still be there at the end of the summer.

Thinking twice about calorie counts
I
have a confession to make: I rarely eat in restaurants. There are a number of reasons for my choice. Chief among them is the cost of eating out.But after eating in a slew of chain restaurants recently, I’d add two more reasons to the list. The portion sizes are ridiculously, out-of-this-world enormous, and frankly, the food isn’t great quality. (Read: I can make tastier, healthier food at home). On two recent trips to Southwestern Ontario, I was lucky enough to receive daily invitations to restaurant breakfasts and dinners. There was little time to cook for myself during my busy schedule, so I gratefully accepted. Most of the time, we were at chain restaurants, places that would be familiar to many in Ottawa. What an eye-opening experience. The first thing that struck me was the size of

the portions. One evening, I attempted to order one of the healthier looking items on the dinner menu, which was a chicken and broccoli linguini. When the enormous bowl arrived, I had to catch myself from sucking in my breath in shock. There was enough pasta in there to feed my entire family of five. The equivalent of two chicken breasts sliced up. And yet it was all for me. Don’t get me started on the big breakfast. Three eggs appears to be the new norm for the basic breakfast. Three eggs! Plates loaded up with potatoes, a quarter pound of bacon, two slices of toast. It
was phenomenal. But are the days of the big breakfast coming to an end? Starting in 2017, Ontario chain restaurants and other food providers will be required to post calorie counts on menus, right next to the item description and price. It’s a practice already in place in many states in the U.S. Health advocates in Ontario believe posting calorie counts will dissuade a lot of people from ordering massive plates of food, or those sneaky calorie-packed breakfast sandwiches, specialty coffees and soft drinks.

Last May, Ontario passed the Healthy Menu Choices Act. Restaurants and food providers with more than 20 Ontario locations that do $5 million or more in business each year will be affected. Under the new legislation calorie information must be displayed as prominently as price. The same food providers affected will have to post information about foods contain high levels of sodium, although not necessarily on the menu. “The Act will have broad application, applying not only to quick service restaurants, but also to convenience stores, grocery stores, movie theatres or other businesses that prepare meals for immediate consumption, either on the premises or elsewhere,” noted a group of legal minds at Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP when the act was adopted last year.
The Fitness Industry Council of Canada has been advocating for caloric menu labelling (CML) since 2012. The council created a campaign called Menu Truth, citing Public Health Agency of Canada numbers that show the current yearly economic costs associated with obesity are around $7.1 billion nationally. The organization argues that consumer awareness regarding restaurant purchases will have a positive impact on what customers choose to eat. Those in the restaurant industry disagree. The Ontario vice-president of industry association Restaurants Canada told the CBC in April that calorie counts can’t always be accurately listed due to varying portion sizes, and that CML it won’t make a difference to consumers anyway. “It has been found that more information on the menu actually leads to confusion, which makes it less likely
that customers will use the information,” James Rilett said. When the government introduced the legislation in 2014, it noted that the Province of Ontario, alone, spends $4.5 billion on healthcare costs associated with obesity annually, including increasing treatment costs for diabetes. One of the biggest concerns of then Health Minister Deb Matthews, was the impact of high caloric foods on children. Nearly one-third of Ontario children are overweight or obese, according to Public Health Ontario, a devastating trend the province hopes this legislation will help curb. If the Ontario government and public health advocates are right, visible calorie counts on menus will cause consumers to pause before ordering that 600-calorie dessert brownie or 800-calorie milkshake, trimming down waist sizes and ultimately provincial healthcare spending.

Broadview Avenue Public School opens Arts Alive event to the community

Special centennial edition event encourages visitors to explore school’s past and present

For the first time, Broadview Avenue Public School will open its Arts Alive event to the larger Broadview community to celebrate its 100th year. The event, on April 28 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the school, located at 590 Broadview Ave., will showcase students’ art and the 100-year history of the school building. Every classroom will have an art exhibit, featuring everything from film and paintings to sculptures.

“This school will sometime be taken down,” said Leslie Bricker, co-ordinator of Arts Alive: Centennial Edition. “This will provide a trip down memory lane.”
I find the arts are a meaningful way to create community. ARTS ALIVE CO-ORDINATOR LESLIE BRICKER
It’s one of the first of many events that will highlight the centennial of Broadview Avenue Public School, as it prepares to close its doors and move to a new building
in September 2016. Earlier this year the school added a mural to liven up the white construction fence surrounding the school, and students are working on a school song and poetry that highlight their love of the school and community. Students are also working on a musical that celebrates the school’s history. Bricker said she is thrilled to be able to link the annual event to the school’s centennial. “I find the arts are a meaningful way to create community,” she said.
The free event begins with greetings in the large gym at 12:30 p.m. The first performances begin at 12:45 p.m. and audience members have the choice to hear from the senior girls and junior girls choirs, see a puppetry show or listen to some chamber music. Between the first and second performances there will be time to check out historical displays in the library, and art throughout the school. The second performances, including the primary and junior boys choirs, begin at 1:20 p.m., and a reception for invited guests begins at 2 p.m. Didn’t get your

New York vision coming to Ottawa Former New York transportation commissioner speaking about dynamic public spaces
Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
The idea of how to transform streets is making its way from New York to Ottawa. The Movement for Safer, More Livable Streets is holding an event that will take place at Lansdowne Park on April 27. The evening welcomes Janette Sadik-Khan, the co-author of Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution and former Transportation Commissioner for New York City. Sadik-Khan will talk about how she re-imagined public spaces and helped transform the streets of New York into dynamic spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. The event has been sponsored by more than 20 community associations across the city, including Action Sandy Hill, Lowertown Community Association, the Vanier Com-
munity Association and community health centres. During her tenure as transportation commissioner, Sadik-Khan implemented a program to improve street safety, mobility, and sustainability throughout New York City.

Organizers hope SadikKhan’s tips on how to rethink, reinvigorate and redesign a city for safer, more livable streets will help Ottawa accelerate the urban revolution for people-centred street design. Her book Streetfight will be available for purchase and signing, with proceeds going to Ecology Ottawa. Lowertown Community Association president Eliz-

abeth Bernstein encourages Lowertown residents and Ottawans from across the city to check attend the event. “People should come check it out because Janette Sadik-Khan transformed the streets of New York into dynamic public spaces and if they did it in New York, we can do it here,” Bernstein said. “If they did it in Times Square, we can do it in ByWard Market.” According to Bernstein there was such interest from associations that the organizers had to change the venue to Lansdowne. “It’s so exciting to see such an appetite for transforming Ottawa’s streets,” she said. A free event, Bernstein said interested individuals do need to register before hand. The evening begins with a reception at 6 p.m. and the main presentation starts at 7 p.m. on April 27.
Council to unleash new bylaw on pet stores Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Council approved a change to the city’s pet shop bylaw on April 13 that will eventually ban the sale of commercially bred dogs and cats at pet stores. The move to the all adoption model, or only allowing pets to be sold at retail outlets if they come from an animal rescue organization such as the Ottawa Humane Society, will take five years to take full effect. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper made a pitch to shorten the grace period down to three years, but it fell flat. “That’s the time it takes to raise a newborn to a schoolaged child,” he said. “I think we can shorten that while still being fair to the businesses.” There are currently only three stores in Ottawa that offer commercially bred dogs and cats for sale. Two are Pet World locations in the St. Laurent and Bayshore shopping centres and the third is Little Critters at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre. Karen Greenberg, who owns Little Critters, told the community and protective services committee back on March 21
that she estimated puppy and kitten sales to represent about 20 per cent of her store’s business. Leiper said that wasn’t a substantial percentage, and it shouldn’t take five years to move to another business model. Councillors who debated the item at the committee level, weren’t eager to shorten the phase-in period. But Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt took issue with the ban itself. Staff undertook a review of the pet shop bylaw as a response to concerns about puppy mills and over population at area shelters. The original report recommended grandfathering the three stores – which would have allowed them to continue to sell commercially bred animals with stricter rules around sourcing of the animals. But after dozens of animal rights activists spoke to the committee, members decided to go with a ban. “Both sides said they could live with the decision,” said committee chair Diane Deans. Moffatt said the ban was akin to sending someone to jail even if they’re innocent.
“But we tell them it’s OK, you can stay out of jail for five years,” he said. River Coun. Riley Brockington tried to increase transparency around the source of pet store animals. His motion, which would have required stores to post information about the breeders publicly before the point of sale, was defeated. “This motion is ridiculous,” Moffatt said, citing competition and privacy concerns with idea. “If we are going to post the source of where everything is, why would we have stores? I worked at Golf Town and we didn’t do that.”
Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said animals were more vulnerable than shirts and golf balls. Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t on board with releasing breeder information either, he said posting breeders’ information might encourage vigilantism. Council approval of the new pet store bylaw will mean the three stores currently selling puppies and kittens will have to transition to a model where they only offer animals from local shelters over the next five years.

Arrest made in Zack Noureddine murder 100 sq ft private cage free suites – the largest in the Ottawa area!
Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Police have arrested three men in connection with former Ottawa resident Zaher “Zack� Noureddine’s mur-
der. Noureddine died after he was assaulted during a robbery outside a restaurant on Yonge Street in Toronto shortly after midnight on Dec. 30. At the time investigators were looking for three men in dark clothing, who they said fled the scene in a light-coloured four-door sedan. On April 13 Toronto police arrested William Lordhu Cummins, 29, and Patrick Smith, 26, of Toronto and an unnamed man third man for robbery and second-degree murder. According to police, it was the help of the general public that assisted in the arrests being made. Noureddine was born in Montreal, but grew up in Vanier and studied journalism at Algonquin College.
He later completed a reporting internship with Metroland Media’s Ottawa Valley newspapers. He also interned at Rolling Stone Magazine and had begun to build a reputation as a music writer, contributing to HipHopCanada.com. More than 100 mourners filed into a Vanier funeral home Jan. 4 to say goodbye to Noureddine. Dozens listened to the service on speakers while standing in the hallway, as there was not enough space for everyone attending. Friends remembered Noureddine as a creative and hard working artist and writer who moved to Toronto last year to further his career. He was working at a marketing firm when he died. Nouriddine’s ex-girlfriend, Julia Vodyanyuk, said he would often stay up until 5 or
6 a.m. working on stories. “He was tireless and loved journalism like crazy,� she told Metroland Media. The two met in journalism school at Algonquin College and remained close friends after they broke up last April. “He was wicked talented,� she said. “He was the one person who would walk into the editor’s room and apologize for the photos he had taken, even though they were better than anyone’s.� Noureddine’s brother, Russell, took to social media to express his grief the day he died. “Today I lost my best friend,� he wrote on Twitter. “To watch him lay on his deathbed was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I will miss you so much and I know one day I’ll see you again.�

Council approves licensing for payday loan companies THER'S MO

PERFECT
City will also petition the province to limit number of payday companies in low income areas Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Gisele Bouvier, of the Ottawa poverty advocacy group ACORN – Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – said she is excited to begin public consultations on how to license predatory payday loan companies such as Money Mart. Council approved a motion by Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury on April 13 aimed at controlling the number of loan company outlets. Bouvier said the Vanier area has the highest concentration of payday loan outlets in the country. ACORN, along with the Vanier Community Association and the Vanier Business Improvement Area,
have been working with the councillor since November 2015, Bouvier said. “We are happy about this latest step,” Bouvier said. Fleury’s motion will initiate licensing for new payday loans locations. Peter Kucherepa, a Vanier-based lawyer who wrote a discussion paper on municipal policy options for payday loan companies that was released in February, said within his community there are more than 30 outlets in a five-kilometre stretch between the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road. After council carried his motion, Fleury thanked the community for all their hard work on the project. In addition to licensing new locations, the city
will petition the province to limit the number of stores in low income areas. Fleury said that the province could require a certain amount of distance between locations; similar to the powers the city has for determining the location for strip clubs. Kucherepa said the city can deal with the proliferation of payday loan operations in Vanier by working on zoning that would prohibit payday lenders from setting up shop within a kilometre of another outlet. Kucherepa said at a February press conference that council could also require a business license when a lender opens. The annual fee could be used by the community to mitigate some of the negative social impacts that can occur as a result of the payday loan cycle the borrowers can fall into.

WANT TO WIN YOUR WEDDING DRESS??
2016
your guide
A dress for everyone Bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, flower girl: how should all these people dress in order to create a harmonious wedding party? Should the bridesmaids all wear the same model of dress? And what about matching colours? THE BRIDESMAIDS
The bridesmaid dresses should blend in with the wedding colours but not with the tablecloths. In other words, be inspired by the decor, but don’t replicate it. Even better, for everyone to feel comfortable, avoid imposing one particular dress on your bridesmaids, unless they all have the same figure and enthusiasm for the idea. Instead, think about choosing a colour, fabric and basic style of dress and allowing each bridesmaid to choose the model that suits her best. This way the visual harmony of the wedding party will be maintained while you still have beautifully unique bridesmaids. Note that specialty stores offer collections of different dresses cut from the same fabric.
Find the perfect dresses for your guests. THE MOTHERS
The mother of the bride plays an important role on the big day, and it is essential to differentiate her from the bridesmaids. This can be done especially with the colour of her dress. Her outfit could take into account the main colours of the wedding party and blend in with them; however the style of her dress
is always her own choice. When choosing her outfit, the groom’s mother’s goal should be to harmonize so as not to look the odd one out in the wedding photos. THE FLOWER GIRL
The flower girl is usually dressed in white. She’ll love wearing her perfect little princess dress!

If you decide to wear earrings, the style you choose will depend on your hairstyle, the shape of your face – long earrings for a round face, for instance – the stones that adorn your dress and your hair ornament (wear small earrings with a big diadem). If you want to wear a bracelet as well, be sure to choose something discrete. Your dress is a simple one?

YOUR GUIDE TO WEDDING PLANNING
Five tips for finding the perfect wedding dress As the bride, you will be the focus of everyone’s attention on your big day, including all the guests as well as your beloved, of course. But in order to be the most beautiful woman in the room, the star of the celebrations must choose her dress carefully. Here are a few tips to help you. 1. Think before you shop. It’s exhausting trying on dozens of dresses at random in the hopes of finding the perfect one. Before going shopping, be sure to browse some magazines and search the Internet to narrow down the styles you prefer. 2. Shop well in advance. Most people get married in the summer, so dressmakers’ agendas soon fill up and the prettiest dresses fly off the racks quickly. Make sure you plan enough time for the fittings. 3. Choose carefully who you shop with. Don’t shop with a crowd of friends who will confuse
A wedding feast
you with all their comments and diverging opinions. Choose one or two people who know you well and who have good taste. You’ll want them to be able to give you some honest feedback. 4. Choose a dress that you like. Your dress should make you feel good and allow you to be yourself. You also want to be comfortable walking up the aisle and dancing. Naturally, you’ll also want to choose a model that flatters your figure. 5. Bear in mind the general atmosphere. Your outfit should harmonize with the wedding theme and the reception hall. For instance, a formal sequined dress is not really appropriate for a country setting. One last tip: decide how much you want to spend on your dress before you begin your search. That way you won’t ruin your whole wedding budget by splurging on an expensive dress. Finding the wedding dress of your dreams.
The wedding meal – which takes up most of the evening as well as a large part of the budget – has to be chosen carefully. Here are some mouth-watering ideas that we hope will inspire you. The possibilities abound where wedding menus are concerned: banquet, barbecue, tapas, cocktail party, buffet, etc. Choose a formula and foods that are in line with your budget and your wedding theme. If you opt for a cocktail party, provide an area where guests can sit comfortably and high tables where they can put their glasses.

Choosing the site of your wedding reception Gift ideas It’s time to choose a location for your reception. Are you thinking hotel, country inn or cruise boat? A marquee tent, community hall or vineyard? Orchard, art gallery or golf club? There are so many great places to celebrate your wedding that sometimes it can be difficult to make a choice. Consequently, it’s always a good idea to establish a list of criteria before starting your search. Here are some things you should take into consideration. 1. The wedding theme. The chosen location must be suitable for the theme without requiring a huge makeover; otherwise your budget could explode. Find out about decorating possibilities as well. 2. The capacity. Make sure the chosen place can comfortably accommodate all your guests. 3. The meal. Is there a caterer on site? Can you choose a different one? Can you personalize the menu? Think about drinks: is there a liquor license? Can you bring your own wine or if it’s a vineyard, are you limited to certain products? 4. Access and overnight accommodation. Is there enough parking? Is it free? Is the reception hall close to where the ceremony will take place? Are there hotels nearby? 5. Equipment. What’s included? Are the dishes, chairs and tablecloths provided or do you need to rent some? Is all the necessary

Gourmet, eco-friendly, original, unusual — there’s no lack of choice when searching for the perfect wedding favour for your guests. Your small gesture will go a long way in thanking them for being with you on one of the most important days of your life. But despite all the choices, choosing the right favour is never an easy task. Here are a few ideas to point you in the right direction. Start by setting your budget; this will narrow down your choices and save you time. Then think about the theme of your wedding, if you have one. You could have pretty candles for a romantic wedding, a small cactus for an eco-friendly or exotic wedding, wine glasses for a wedding reception at a vineyard, packs of cards for a wedding with a Las Vegas theme — the possibilities are endless if you use your imagination. There are gourmet treats (truffles, candies, jams), decorative trinkets (photo frames, magnets, vases) and useful objects (coasters, fans, notepads). You could give a short-lived gift, such as a box of cookies, or an object that your loved ones will be able to keep as a souvenir for a long time. Don’t forget that the gifts should include the date of the wedding and both your names. And get some coloured pencils, lollipops or soap bubbles to treat your younger guests. Go window shopping and search through some specialized stores to find inspiration. You could also ask friends or family which favours they prefer among those they’ve received at other weddings. Also, think about what you would like to be given if you were a guest. After all, your gifts should reflect your personality.

YOUR GUIDE TO WEDDING PLANNING
An outdoor wedding? Be prepared Are you dreaming of a wedding in the sunshine and a reception under the stars? For your big day to be as magical as you’d hoped, you’re going to have to think of everything beforehand. Choose an easily accessible area that is as flat as possible to avoid wobbly tables or runoff if it rains. Also, be sure to notify any neighbours of your plans so they can be respectful of your need for a peaceful ambiance. THE WEATHER
Don’t bury your head in the sand; the weather could thwart your plans in lots of different ways. Choose heavy decorations that will stay in place if it gets windy. A warm, sunny day would be fantastic, but a heatwave could make your guests feel really uncomfortable. For a summer wedding, make sure you have some shady corners, parasols and cold refreshments. In case of rain, a marquis tent or other shelter is essential for guests, musicians and caterers. Be sure to or-
ganize a supply of umbrellas at the entrance, as well as mats and towels. The evening could be cool, so providing shawls or blankets for your guests is also a good idea. And don’t forget that mosquitoes could turn up at the party uninvited; it’s another thing to think about and prepare for.
UPSCALE RESALE
Attending a Wedding?
THE FACILITIES
Toilets, water, and electricity: do you have everything you need? The caterers may need to rent a refrigerated truck, so be sure to let them know which facilities will be at their disposal. Set up a sturdy dance floor as well for all those ladies in stiletto heels. Next comes some ambient lighting: strings of fairy lights, candles with covers for the flames and lanterns will set the mood. And don’t forget to light the paths to the toilets and parking area. Make sure you plan enough time and helping hands to set everything up. Transforming a backyard into an idyllic reception area isn’t something Be sure to prepare for rain, shine, heat and chill that can be done overnight. when planning your outdoor wedding.

Congestion causes study faces roadblock Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A motion by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko aimed at determining the root causes of traffic congestion faced a roadblock from suburban councillors on April 13. Chernushenko said the study, which came with an estimated price tag of $80,000, would take a holistic approach at dealing with congestion. “Our traditional methods are widening a road, or building a new road to deal with congestion,” Chernushenko said. “This would just give us more tools.” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the city’s investment in light rail is the way the city is attempting to deal with congestion. “Suburban councillors supported LRT, even though some communities won’t see the benefit for years,” Harder said. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley called the motion
a wolf in sheep’s clothing. “It’s all about the tolls,” he said. “Commuters that come in from Kanata I can tell you which roads they are using. This is a back door attempt to separate and create division between our communities.” TRANSIT ROUTES
Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said he had a different opinion. “I think looking forward we need to look at a number of things across the silos, are our transportation routes optimized? Are fares what they should be? Are we building the appropriate mixed-use communities to avoid long commutes?” Leiper said traffic congestion isn’t a solely suburban problem. “Just look at Island Park Drive,” he said. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the main problem is the Greenbelt. She said the city needs to work with the Na-
tional Capital Commission on adapting it to be a green finger like in other cities, to help facilitate better planning. “The Greenbelt is like a noose around our necks,” she said. Mayor Jim Watson said he doesn’t see the benefit. “In the report itself it talks about toll roads,” he said. “I hate to break it you, but Ottawa doesn’t have a congestion problem in the downtown. We are not Hong Kong or London. This motion would be a first step towards a road toll.” Chernushenko said the intent was simply to reduce congestion in the most effective and cost efficient way possible. He added new roads aren’t always the solution. “Toll roads are one option,” he said. “But there’s also things like high occupancy lanes, variable pricing in parking.” The motion failed, with 15 members voting in opposition and eight in favour.

Not everyone pleased with new alignment of Cleary LRT station Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
The city may be labelling the new the Cleary light rail transit station realignment as an improvement, but not everyone agrees. The city now plans to have the station front onto Richmond Road. To do that, the plaza at 747 Richmond Rd. will need to be acquired by the city in its entirety. Previously, the route cut through the Unitarian Church campus, which drew heavy opposition from members of the church and the 130 senior tenants of Unitarian House. The station is part of the plan for Stage 2 of the city’s LRT project — a plan to add 30 kilometres of track and 19 stations — which the city hopes to launch in 2023. During a presentation to residents, city staff touted the benefits of the alignment, including improved station accessibility and community presence, reduced property acquisition costs and a reduced number of properties with development impacts.
Lynn McCuskee, who works at Christina Thompson’s consignment and antique store, Treasures Anew, one of the businesses that will be forced to close or relocate because of the city’s new plan to tear down 747 Richmond Rd., questioned the city’s need to push approval through in such a short period of time. Council will consider the realignment on May 11. “What’s the rush, given that there are so many question marks?” she said. When Thompson began the business, she spent $20,000 just to get the doors open. “Not everyone is on board,” McCuskee said of the new plan. “But we have no choice,” Thompson said, adding, “Fait accompli.” Both women were surprised just how soon the city would move to acquire the property, either by purchasing it or through expropriation. “Eight months is not enough time to relocate or sell off and shut down,” McCus-

About 140 people attended an information session about the realigned Cleary station. kee said. No matter council’s decision on the fate of the plaza, McCuskee and Thompson hope the area will remain walkable, open and accessible to all demographics. They also hope any new development will capture the flavour of the existing neighbourhood. “I wish they talked more about the larger plan and how this fits with it,” McCuskee said. On behalf of the owner of the plaza, his lawyer, Timothy Cullen with McMillan law
firm, expressed disappointment — for both the tenants who have been in the plaza for more than 10 years and the missed development opportunity. “They are disappointed with the last minute change to the route,” Cullen said. Other residents, especially those living in condos at 57 Cleary St., raised concerns about noise and vibration, both during construction and after, when LRT is up and running. Chris Swail, city director of LRT Stage 2, explained the
city has a number of options to mitigate noise and vibration concerns, including resilient fasteners, which absorb vibrations. Those fasteners will be used nearby, he said. “We will design the track system to mitigate, using resilient fasteners to the point that you won’t be able to feel it,” Swail said. Evaluations of the nearby buildings will also be done before, during and post construction, including photos, and any damage will have to be remedied, a process also undertaken during Stage 1
of construction. But not everyone who asked questions of staff were against the proposal — others expressed a sigh of relief. “Given all of the problems that the original proposal created, I think this looks like a very good solution to the problem, despite the fact that we’ve heard some issues,” David Jeanes, treasurer of Transport Action Canada, said at the meeting. Kitchissipi Coun. Jeff Leiper opened the meeting with his approval as well. “Let me be clear about something — this alignment is going to be a good thing for residents and a good thing for the city overall,” Leiper said. According to city documents, the realignment will go back to the finance and economic development committee on May 3, where committee members will hear from the public. The matter will be considered by council on May 11. If all goes to plan, property acquisition would begin in the first quarter of 2017 with construction beginning in 2018.

Mary’s housework left a lasting impression on her
W
hy I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age. Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over, and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle. But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma, or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library. As soon as my other
MARY COOK Memories chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor. The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern.
Because once I started working the plunger up and down, blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual to have my apron, and even my face splattered. I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin...in fact, my hateful brother
Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips. The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the winter, or early spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days got warmer, and the cream had been in the milk can overnight in the summer kitchen, it seemed to take forever to turn it into butter. I once asked Mother how old I had to be to taken off the job, but she reminded me, since I was the youngest, it would be my chore for just about the rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that
would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday. I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace. And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn. It got harder and harder to pound down the cream, and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc, and peer inside. And there it would be, butter! Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl, and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be
piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door to door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

MISSY (ID# A129817)
Meet Missy (ID# A129817), a friendly girl looking for her purr-fect match. Missy is a beautiful short haired torbi who can’t wait to meet her new best friend. She is a laid back girl who loves to cuddle up with you on the couch. Missy is looking for a relaxed home where she can be an indoor cat. She’d prefer not to share a home with other felines, but don’t worry — Missy is all the cat you will need! For more information on Missy 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.
Matching Seniors and Older Felines, and Saving Lives
Bitty kitties tend to get scooped up pretty quickly, but the Ottawa Humane Society recently introduced a new way to save more lives of their oft-overlooked older feline friends. In just two short months since its launch, the OHS’s new Cats for Seniors program has found homes for seven older felines in need. The program matches cats aged five plus with senior adopters aged 60 plus to help find homes for cats faster while giving
their new human caretakers the companionship of a furry friend. OHS staff actively seek matches for cats in need with seniors who join the program, at half the usual adoption fee. Older cats tend to be in the shelter much longer than their junior counterparts, and the longer these cats stay in the shelter and not in a forever home, the greater their stress and risk of getting sick. The Cats for Seniors program gets them out of the
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:

shelter faster and into loving homes where they belong. It’s a wonderful happily-ever-after for everyone involved! The Cats for Seniors program is just one way that the OHS is doing more to help the animals and our community: nothing compares to the love and companionship of an animal. And for an animal, there’s nothing like a loving forever home. Learn more at www.ottawahumane.ca.
Community gardens can sell produce under new rules Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Representatives from the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, Just Food and a North Gower farmer cheered changes to an omnibus zoning amendment that would expand uses of community gar-
dens. Planning committee approved the change that would allow food produced in community gardens to be sold, donated or shared. In addition, the zoning amendment would allow for a farmers market on a lot where a community garden is a permitted use.
The staff report says the move aligns the city’s bylaws with the objectives of Ottawa Public Health. Mel Foster, owner of Foster Farm in North Gower, said the plan is important. Foster thanked city staff for their work on the file. “It’s great news for us,” he said,
adding all his produce is sold locally and not shipped to other parts of the province. Phil Mount, associate director of Just Foods – a not-for-profit food security organization that operates a number of mobile farmers markets across the city – said increased options for food
production and zoning will benefit Ottawa residents. Don Henderson, vice-president of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, said that the change will improve the organization’s ability to deliver on its mission. They will be able to operate six days per week, 10 hours per day.

Festival of the Maples celebrates anniversary Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
There’s no mid-life crisis for the Festival of the Maples as Perth’s annual passage into spring hits its 40th year on April 30. While the festival may not be buying a new sports car or dying its hair, it will be boasting a new logo, of “an updated bucket,” joked co-organizer Brian Perkin, from the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce office at Inge-Va House on April 7. His wife and coorganizer Jennifer Perkin is seated beside him. “We didn’t really have a firm logo before.” he said. The Tay Basin will be the place to be once more for families, with a children’s play park, opening at 10 a.m., complete with a “mighty machines” area, featuring police cars and Hydro One vehicles, to even tree removal equipment and, it is hoped, military vehicles. There will also be a bouncy castle and a climbing wall. CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES
At the Crystal Palace, there are more children’s activities inside, and the seven-piece Nepean Panharmonic Steel Band will be bringing the sounds of the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Meanwhile, out and about on Gore Street East, the King of Swingers group will be out causing well-meaning musical mayhem. Further to this, there will also be sheep shearing demonstrations, pony rides and a petting zoo in the area. The Main Stage’s entertainment schedule, for performances at Herriott and Gore streets, is as follows: 10 a.m. Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Band 10:30 a.m. Official Opening Ceremonies, featuring Perth and District Chamber of Commerce president Debra Bellevue, Mayor John Fenik, town crier Brent McLaren, followed immediately by the presentation of the Lanark and District Maple Syrup Producers Awards. 10:45 a.m. Doug Barr and the Blast. 11:30 a.m. CR5 Bluegrass. 12:30 p.m. Dynamite Tay Modern Square Dancers and Mississippi Squares.
Off-duty firefighter rescues woman
Spring COUPON
Kelly Kent
kkent@metroland.com
Firefighters are heroes – both on duty and off. On April 10 around 6:30 a.m., Ottawa Fire Services Capt. Mike Deavy was headed home from a 24-hour shift when he came across an overturned vehicle in a field near Eagleson Road and Rushmore Road. His quick actions to assist the driver are being attributed to her survival.
EVENT
OVERTURNED VEHICLE
According to a release from Ottawa Fire Services, the vehicle had been overturned in the field for several hours before Deavy, a resident of Greely, discovered it. Due to the freezing temperatures – that morning the thermometer was hovering just below -10 C – the car had formed a layer of frost. “Initially, the driver of the vehicle appeared to have sustained injuries from the impact as well as exhibiting signs of hypothermia,” the release stated. “Deavy knew he had to act quickly to get her safely into his warm vehicle, which he’d driven directly onto the field.” Using a hack saw from his own vehicle, Deavy freed the trapped woman. Soon, crews from the Ottawa Fire Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service were on scene to assist. “(Deavy’s) quick intervention has been attributed to the driver’s survival,” the release continued

The college is looking to increase the size of its demonstration area, which had a brick-laying area last year. This year, the brick laying will be back, joined by a log hewing area,
to demonstrate the school’s heritage programs. The crosscut saw competition at 1:20 p.m. will see two-person teams competing against the clock, using traditional two-handled saws and a lot of sweat to cut up as much of sixto-eight inch logs as possible. A firefighter team is slated to take part in the competition. On the stretch of Herriott Street to Wilson, weather permitting, there will be a classic car show, which drew a “bumper crop,” last year, according to Jennifer. The couple reminds those using their vehicles to get to the area to consider parking at the college, where Martin Bus Lines will offer free shuttles from 6 Craig St. to the
intersection of Craig and Gore. While the events are free, there will be donation buckets out along the route to raise money for the chamber – the organizer of this annual event. As this is Perth’s 200th anniversary year too, Brian said that it is “a happy coincidence that we are able to celebrate both of those” anniversaries. What makes the joint anniversaries even more significant is that the maple sugar industry “has been there (in the Perth area) since Day One in 1816,” said Brian
“A lot of our vendors are looking to celebrate that,” added Jennifer. “There may be more surprises this year than in years past.” In a later email to this newspaper from the chamber’s general manager, John LeVatte, he wrote, “I think people are going to be incredibly impressed with this year’s festival. He noted that, “with the this year’s perfect sap-running weather, “we are guaranteed to have plenty of maple syrup!” He added that, in talking with the festival committee, “as of right now, it looks like we may have a complete sell-out of vendor spaces.”

A task force has been formed to deal with issues at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, and its members have been given a June 1 deadline to deliver an action plan. The troubled Innes Road jail has been plagued by complaints of staffing shortages, overcrowding, and recent inmate deaths, as well as complaints that inmates with mental health problems aren’t being helped, or are being placed in solitary confinement. On March 25, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Yasir Naqvi announced a task force lead by the ministry to address capacity issues at the jail. The June 1 report deadline was set by Naqvi on April 12. He announced the task
force shortly after reports of inmates being forced to sleep in shower stalls, because overcrowding had got so bad within the facility. The task force’s mandate is to develop an action plan to address overcrowding and capacity issues, and identify long-term solutions for health and safety of inmates and staff. The task force includes the jail’s acting superintendent, the local union president, a crown attorney, ministry staff, and members of the Defence Council Association of Ottawa, Mothers Offering Mutual Support and the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa. Warren “Smokey” Thomas, the head of the correctional officers’ union – the Ontario Public Service Employee Union has even recently called for Naqvi’s resignation.
He said the jail is “still a horrible mess”, and the ministry will need to get more funding from the province in order to provide needed solutions. He’s also called on the ministry to allow media to go inside the jail so the public can see the conditions inside. In a press release about the task force, Naqvi said that the status quo at the OCDC cannot continue. His goals for Ontario’s transformation are a tall order, and changes that both those in correctional service as well as advocates have been pushing for. They include increased access to rehabilitation programs, increased mental health supports, and communitybased reintegration partnerships. -With files Lofaro / Metro

Advocates argue for greater say on library location Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Library advocates who spoke at an April 12 library board meeting overwhelmingly asked for a clearer picture of how the public is going to be consulted on a new central library location. “It’s gone too far and we’ve missed too many steps already,” Mike Pyndus said. Ottawa Public Library CEO Danielle McDonald laid out the strategy for moving forward on the project at the meeting. The strategy, which seeks to start the as yet undefined public engagement, was approved by the board. But the message from board members was clear, find a site and come back to us with a plan for public consultation. See CENTRAL , page 43

Central Library construction begins in 2018 Continued from page 41
McDonald said a communications consulting company called PACE Public Affairs and Community Engagement – has been retained to create a strategy for public engagement. The firm was hired two weeks ago, she said. “They need some time to begin work,” McDonald said, adding a website dedicated to the new library will be up in the next couple of weeks. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said that staff needs to get moving on a plan if the project is going to meet the deadlines. “We should have something in place by now,” Wilkinson said. The current plan is a two-track process, with staff working on a plan for a standalone facility and a joint facility with Library and Archives Can-
ada (LAC). Whatever the outcome, McDonald said shovels will be in the ground in 2018. Completion of the library is slated for 2020. McDonald said the news of a potential partnership with LAC has slowed down work on developing a plan for public comment.
People are very excited to be engaged on the new central library site. LIBRARY BOARD CHAIR TIM TIERNEY
And moving forward must involve selecting a site. “It’s been difficult to move forward with procurement without a site,” she said. Mary Cavanagh, who spoke to the board on behalf of an organization
called Bookmark the Core, which represents 14 community associations that want to be involved in the selection of a site, said the city needs to slow down and do things right. “We have been involved since last September, I don’t understand why we don’t have anything in place yet,” Cavanagh said. “Public engagement at this point is simply a bullet on a presentation, but what does that mean?” While public consultation will include site criteria, Cavanagh said that it’s unclear how public comment will be weighted. “What are they going to go with our comments?” she asked. Other speakers reiterated the importance of walkability to the new location. Guy Potvin said the argument that the downtown core is moving westward is unfounded. He said new office towers at 150 and 90

FLOOR PLAN 2016 Welcome to the second edi�on of Floor Plan 2016, Metroland Media’s special monthly supplement designed with the city’s home owners in mind. Our aim is to take some of the mystery out of the home-building experience and help make the process just a bit less daun�ng. This is, a�er all, likely the biggest purchase of your life, and you want to make sure the end product aligns with how you envisioned it at the start. The na�onal capital region is fortunate to be home to some of the finest home builders in the country. Their reputa�on has been built over the years, decades even, and rooted in their con�nuously evolving and innova�ve designs, quality workmanship and a�en�on to detail. If one is looking to build new, these are exci�ng �mes in O�awa. With so many great choices, there’s really no wrong turn. This month’s supplement introduces you to some of these builders and the wide array of services they offer. Also inside, learn about the upcoming Art of Home Tour, a showcase of O�awa homes taking place Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15. The tour will offer prospec�ve home owners the opportunity to view model homes across the city – East, West and South – and find the style and community that best suits their needs. Look for even more ideas and informa�on in our future supplements inside your Metroland community newspapers Thursday, May 19 and again Thursday, June 23.

Five tips FOR BUYING A NEW CONDO These tips can help you avoid problems down the road
So you’re thinking about buying a new condo – or maybe you already have. There are many aspects that differ when buying and living in a condo compared to a freehold home. Here are some �ps to help you make the experience a smooth one. 1. Get legal advice. A condominium lawyer will help you interpret your purchase agreement. It’s to your benefit to understand both your own and your builder’s responsibili�es. For example, the Condominium Act en�tles you to a 10-day “cooling off ” period that begins on the day you receive the purchase agreement or a document called the disclosure statement, whichever comes later. During this �me, your lawyer can nego�ate changes to the offer, like capping adjustments to the purchase price, restric�ng amendments to the size, design or dimensions of the unit or even ge�ng out of the contract. 2. Don’t pack your bags just yet. It could be
What type of home SUITS YOU?
Would you love to buy your own home? An important investment like this should never be undertaken lightly. Not only do you have to take the �me to choose your new home and neighbourhood carefully, but you must first decide which type of property best suits your needs, both now and in the future. Single family, semi-detached or condo — they all have their advantages and disadvantages.
Single Family Home

two or three years between the date you sign your purchase agreement and the date you take occupancy of your unit. If construc�on runs over schedule, it could be even longer. Read the statement of cri�cal dates, outlined in the Addendum a�ached to the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to get a sense of how long it may take for your condo to be ready for occupancy. If a builder fails to close the sale or substan�ally complete construc�on, deposits are protected up to a maximum of $20,000 with any excess deposit amounts being protected by the trust provisions of the Condominium Act. 3. There will be some unfinished business. Condo projects are different from single family homes in that the purchase is usually completed in two steps. Step one is interim occupancy. Many buyers find out the hard way that they’re required to take possession of their completed unit before common element features like front recep�on, landscaping and the swimming pool are finished. This means you could live for many months without the an�cipated ameni�es. 4. Inspect your unit carefully. Before you take
Single-family homes are very popular and have many advantages, including more privacy. You can also build and modify at will, inside and outside. In other words, you can knock
down walls, build a garage or plant a vegetable garden. A single-family home may not be the best op�on for you if you don’t have the �me or inclina�on to mow the lawn, shovel snow, maintain the roof and clean the gu�ers.
Semi-Detached
Usually cheaper than a single-family home, a semi-detached has some of the advantages of the la�er, including privacy. However, since two proper�es are built on the same land, you have less space outside. On the other hand, there is less maintenance work. If you buy a semi-detached home, make sure the dividing wall is thick enough to block
possession of your unit, your builder is required to conduct an inspec�on with you. This is your chance to ensure there is no damage, incomplete or missing items, and everything is working properly. Feel free to take pictures of any damaged or incomplete items. If necessary, those photos can be submi�ed to Tarion at a later date for warranty purposes. 5. Condos include shared living space. A new condo unit comes with a seven-year warranty from your builder that is backed by Tarion Warranty Corpora�on. The shared areas in your condo, such as the roofing, parking structures, exterior cladding and any shared ameni�es, are covered under the common element warranty. This is a separate warranty from your unit’s warranty. Condo owners are responsible to submit warranty claims for their units only, whereas the condo board handles the common elements. More informa�on is available online at tarion.com or toll-free at 1-877-982-7466. Informa�on about the Condominium Act can be found through the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services.
any noise from the neighbouring unit.
Condominium
A condo is great for people who don’t want the hassle of looking a�er a yard. Some condominiums provide special facili�es, such as a swimming pool or gym, which you wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise. Keep in mind that you’ll pay condo fees accordingly. On the downside, a condo is a lot less private than a house. You must also be careful to choose a building where the other owners have a similar lifestyle to your own. In addi�on, sharing common areas will o�en mean that you have to agree with them on how the building is maintained and managed.
PHOENIX HOMES
New Single Family Home Designs at Phoenix Homes Phoenix Homes has always had a large focus on quality floor plans. “We have a huge selection of well-thought out floor plans. They are practical and efficient. Such a massive variety of products means our buyers are spoiled for selection. There are just so many options.” Now, there are several new models being added to the offering. Phoenix has launched new bungalow models at both their Fernbank Crossing site in Kanata as well as their large-lot site in Almonte called White Tail Ridge. These bungalows offer incredible value and are perfect for down-sizing or anyone with a need for single-floor living. The bungalows range in size from 1700sf to 2500sf. These 50’ bungalows also offer a loft option for additional living space; perfect for visitors or the grand kids! Fernbank Crossing even offers a 35’ bungalow with sizes ranging from 1034sf to 1490sf starting at only $310,900! As well as these new bungalows, 4 new 35’ singles have just been released at Fernbank Crossing. These singles are priced starting as low as $359,900. They offer ultimate value for someone looking to own a detached single family home. “We have made it a point to ensure that we are the best value in any area” says Rahul Kochar, Vice President. These homes still receive the royal treatment with generous standard specifications including ceramic in all wet areas and granite counters in the kitchen. These homes offer an alternative to a townhome as they are priced in the same range. “You don’t share a wall with anyone and have a much larger yard”, says Rahul. New home sites are constantly being developed with 3 exciting new releases coming soon. The first development, known as ‘Pathways’, is going to be a large master plan community with all kinds of homes. Just south of Findlay Creek, off Bank Street, Pathways will be offered in 2016. This project is in the final stages of development approvals and will be one of the finest new subdivisions in the South end of Ottawa. Product offering will be the same as Fernbank Crossing. Another exciting project, west of the city, will feature fully serviced, 50ft and 60ft lots adjacent to Carp’s private airport. Breaking ground in the summer of 2016, Phoenix Homes be offering a wide range of homes at this location. This is the first of three phases with two more projects yet to come at the location. “Due to the large lots, buyers will even have the option of 3-car garages”, says Rahul. The site is a mere 10 minute drive from the Brookstreet hotel and will surely be a desirable site for those working in the high-tech sector of Kanata. To the Southeast, Phoenix Homes will be re-launching the Shadow Ridge project in Greely this summer. This hugely successful project is due to come on stream shortly and there is no doubt the finished product will be beautiful. “Prospective buyers can visit our website, www. phoenixhomes.ca/request-info to register for interest in new communities.” Floor Plan - Thursday, April 21, 2016 3
Newly built home? THINK INSPECTION BEFORE POSSESSION When buying a resale home, many prospec ve buyers hire a home inspector . Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a requirement of course, but it makes sense. Why not check under the hood before spending all that money? When buying a new home from a builder things are very different. OÂ&#x2013;en there is no house to inspect. There may not even be a hole in the ground. You are buying the future. It may take weeks, months or even years before you get to step over the threshold to that new home but when you do it should be for an inspec on. In fact, builders are required to do a thorough, floor-by-floor walk through with you before they hand over the keys. This introduc on to your new home is called a Pre-Delivery Inspec on, or PDI. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the new home warranty process. All new home builders in Ontario must provide a warranty that lasts for seven years on the homes they build. This first inspec on may
have implica ons on your warranty later on, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial to pay close aÂ&#x2122;en on. Listen carefully, know what to look for and take notes.
â&#x20AC;&#x153; In fact, builders are required to do a thorough, floor-by-floor walk through with you before they hand over the keys.â&#x20AC;? During the PDI, the builder will provide you with essen al informa on about your new home, including how it works. Your builder will show you how to operate your
homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems, like hea ng, electrical, air condi oning, and plumbing, and provide you with opera ng manuals. It is also your chance to ensure there is no damage, everything is complete, nothing is missing, and everything is working properly. You should carefully examine both the interior and exterior. Look for things like chips in bathtubs and sinks, scratches on counter tops, damage to floors, walls, cabinetry or other finishes, and doors and windows that are not secure or do not open and close easily. Outside, check things like the quality of brickwork and siding, whether window screens have been installed, and the appearance of the driveway and landscaping. Sometimes, due to weather or other factors, you may not be able to inspect a certain item. If you are unable to assess something at the time, simply make note of it on the form. Feel free to take pictures
How to find the PERFECT FRONT DOOR
Is your front door damaged, rusted, defec ve or simply oldfashioned? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to replace it, just be sure not to buy one on the spur of the moment. Instead, take the me to choose a goodquality model that will enhance your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s façcade for years to come.
Materials
One thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure: you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a front door in the same way as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d buy a basement or bedroom door. Front doors have to be visually appealing as well as very strong. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a wide range of models on the market made of different materials, either alone or in combina on: â&#x20AC;˘ steel â&#x20AC;˘ fibreglass â&#x20AC;˘ wood â&#x20AC;˘ aluminum â&#x20AC;˘ PVC Each material has its own advantages. Specialized companies will be able to advise you about which ones are most suitable for your needs and your budget. 4 Floor Plan - Thursday, April 21, 2016
Sought-after qualities
When shopping for a front door, look for one that has the following characteris cs: â&#x20AC;˘ shock resistant â&#x20AC;˘ good insula on and soundproofing â&#x20AC;˘ easy maintenance â&#x20AC;˘ enhanced security (solid locks and anchoring systems)
Colours and glazing
Manufacturers offer an impressive range of colours and finishes to make sure your front door looks great. However, be careful when choosing the glass for your front doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window, as it can make all the difference in terms of style. There are many possibili es, including square, rectangular, half-moon, circle, mosaic or stained glass.
Professional advice
When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shopping around for the perfect front door, ask
a professional for advice. One good idea is to go shopping with a photo of the front of your house as well as the dimensions of the existing door opening. This will make it much easier for you to find a model that complements the style of your home.
Custom-made
Keep in mind that it is always wise to have your front door made to measure; this ensures that its fit, shape, colour and hardware are perfectly adapted to your home. Moreover, if you entrust the installa on to experts, the result will be flawless.
A worthwhile investment
The front door is a major component of your home, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skimp on quality. This investment of a few hundred â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even a few thousand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dollars could definitely add value to your property.
of any damaged or incomplete items. If necessary, those photos can be submitted to Tarion at a later date. Your builder will note everything down on the PDI form. Review it carefully, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete and keep a copy. This form will become the official record of the condi on of your new home before you moved in. Tarion which regulates new home builders and guarantees your new home warranty, may refer to your PDI form if there is disagreement over whether any damage occurred before or aÂ&#x2013;er you took possession. Even aÂ&#x2013;er the ini al inspec on is done, you should con nue to inspect your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condi on regularly. If there are items that fall under warranty, your builder is responsible for resolving them, but if he/she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Tarion will step in. If you have any ques ons about your new homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty, visit www.tarion. com.

Tips for a STATE-OF-THE-ART KITCHEN Would you love to create a cu ng-edge décor for your kitchen worthy of a decora ng magazine? Draw on as many of the 2016 trends as you like and turn your kitchen into a beau ful — and func onal — room that’s ideal for dreaming up mouth-watering meals for family and friends. Gasps of admira on, guaranteed.
CLEAN LINES
With its cool colours and clean lines, the 2016 kitchen has the esthe c of a laboratory, but in a good way. Islands, cabinets and countertops have smooth, gleaming surfaces on which a bare minimum of objects are placed. Similarly, storage space is op mized so all the things you don’t have an immediate use for can stay out of sight. The key word: minimalism.
NOSTALGIC COLOURS
Add pale touches of colour (mint green, pale pink, baby blue, lilac or bu er yellow) to neutral kitchens. These pastel shades from decades past are making a comeback this year, while the vintage trend is increasingly popular. Purity, so ness and comfort are the magic ingredients for a userfriendly kitchen where everyone loves to hang out.
COPPER
A er stainless steel, gold, chrome and bronze, designers are now
going crazy over copper. To give your kitchen a modern-yet-warm feel, integrate a few elements with a copper finish or even be er, solid copper. This year, copper cabinet handles and knobs, light fixtures, faucets, utensils and even appliances blend perfectly with anthracite, brown and ivory tones.
CUSTOM ISLANDS
Today’s kitchen island is no longer used exclusively for preparing meals. Now it has been transformed into a mul -purpose element that’s used as an extra table or for storage. To be really up to date, furnish your kitchen with a model that has been custom designed and made by a professional. What’s the ul mate island in 2016? A brightly coloured one (bo le green, orange, electric blue) standing in the centre of a kitchen decorated in classic shades of gray, white, black or beige. You’ll definitely create the “wow” effect!

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOODS – THE SOUTH
METROLAND/METRO NEWS JOINT FEATURE
Former farmland sees rapid growth
The Rideau River lies between Riverside South and Barrhaven. SCOTT BUCKINGHAM/WIKIPEDIA RIVERSIDE SOUTH AND BARRHAVEN
Residents enjoy plenty of lush green space Jen Traplin For the past three decades, the scenery of what was once sparse farmland south of Ottawa has been transforming into a sprawling suburban landscape, particularly in Riverside South and Barrhaven. Before amalgamation in 2001, there were roughly 35,000 people living in Barrhaven. These days, the population is nearly 75,000, and it’s estimated that number will surpass 100,000 in just a few years. The area is made up of roughly two dozen small neighbourhoods, including Davidson Heights, Chapman Mills, Barrhaven on the Green, Stonebridge (which encompasses Stonebridge Golf Club), Half
Moon Bay and Longfields. On top of continual residential development, more commercial spaces have recently been filled in Barrhaven, offering residents a number of convenient shopping options. Tucked between the Greenbelt to the north, the Rideau River to the east and the Jock River to the south, Barrhaven residents also enjoy plenty of lush green space and natural waterways. Across the Rideau River to the east is Riverside South, which is connected to Barrhaven via the Vimy Memorial Bridge. Just over 10,000 people call Riverside South home but the area is growing rapidly. Most of the homes there have been built in the last 20 years. Already just a 20 minute drive from downtown Ottawa, soon it will be even easier to commute in and out of the city as light rail will extend to Riverside South by 2023. By that time, it’s estimated the population in Riverside South will be closer to 50,000.

The Typical NEW HOME BUYING PROCESS Buying a brand new home is a big decision and an important investment, and there is a lot to think about. You want to buy with confidence, enjoy the experience and know that you have made the best decision for you and your family.

Your home
Typically, the process of buying a brand new home takes place over me and in several stages. To begin with, you want to take some me deciding on your priori es— what you want in a home, where you want to live and how much you want to spend— and then explore what’s available. Once you have narrowed your choices down to one community, one builder and one home, you are ready to work out the details and sign a contract with your builder. Then it’s me to step back and let the builder do the work.

Before you start looking
Financing
Get off to a great start by doing some preplanning before you go house hun ng. Discuss with everyone in your household what they want in a new home and surroundings. Make lists of what’s important and divide them into must-haves and would-be-nice-to-haves. Also think about what you absolutely don’t want to live with. Here are some of the things you should consider:
Community • distance to transporta on
work;
traffic;
public
• the downpayment you have available • the monthly mortgage payment you are comfortable with • other financial obliga ons and needs At this point, find out who the CHBA member builders are in your community. Check ads in your newspaper to get a sense of what builders are offering. Talk with family, friends or co-workers who have recently bought a new home. Ask your lender for mortgage pre-approval so you know the price range you should be looking at. A end a home show to see the latest in features and
finishings, and to meet area builders.
Exploring your options
Now you are ready to see what’s available. As you drive around visi ng builders’ model homes, sales centres and offices, it’s a good idea to take notes. That way, it is much easier to make comparisons later. The key to successful home hun ng is to take your me. Don’t rush. Take a thorough look at everything and ask ques ons—lots of them. The builder or salesperson should be ready and pleased to answer each ques on. Sales centres will o en have a complete informa on package on the homes, the development and the community, including schools and other facili es. And keep in mind that a builder’s model home is usually just one of several designs offered by the company—a star ng point.
The community/development
Does the community meet your needs (as determined in your planning)? Does the development have a good “feel”? Can you see yourself living there? Ask about landscaping plans and common facili es, if any. Visit a builder’s finished development for a be er impression. What are the long-term plans for the community—e.g. growth, roads, facili es, commercial/industrial expansion? Are there any community or development

covenants and bylaws that restrict how you can live in your home (e.g. no pets)?
Model homes and plans
Take a close look at the quality of each model home—is construc on solid, the finishing well done with a en on to details? Compare layouts and size (more square feet do not always mean more living space). Find out if the features in each model home are standard or upgrades (i.e. extra cost) and ask to see samples of the builder’s standard finishing products. Note the features of each home that appeal to you (worth considering when you have made a final decision on a model and have some leeway for details). Imagine your family’s daily rou ne throughout the seasons. Note if the builder is using brand-name products you know and trust. Ask about each builder’s design flexibility (e.g. moving walls, enlarging windows). Ask abut op onal or upgrade “packages” (e.g. ligh ng and plumbing fixtures). Look at the company’s other designs and plans. Visit model homes outside your price range for ideas for layout and features (but stay focused on the price range that’s most comfortable for you). Ask about lot availability for the home model you are interested in—there may be restric ons. Supplied by Greater O awa Home Builders’ Associa on

Taking pride in sense of community WELCOME HOME
It’s a ‘great place to have a family,’ says Barrhaven City Councillor Jen Traplin For almost 20 years, Jan Harder has been the face and voice of Barrhaven. As City Councillor for Barrhaven Ward, Harder says she is most proud of the sense of community that has been established in the area in her nearly two decades at City Hall. “The Mayor calls me ‘The Grandmother of Barrhaven,’” Harder says with a laugh. “Several years ago, I changed the sign as you come up Greenbank Road to really reflect who Barrhaven is. It says, ‘Barrhaven -- Welcome Home,’ and many people have mentioned to me that it’s really special.” This November will mark Harder’s 19th year representing the people of Barrhaven. She’s lived there for more than three decades and strongly believes the sense of community in Barrhaven is why the suburb has been the city’s No. 1 growth area for the last number of years. “It’s a great place to have a family and to have good neighbours,” she says. Throughout her time as City Councillor, im-

proving transit in Barrhaven has been one of Harder’s main projects. She says area residents lose about two hours a day commuting and admits she still isn’t happy plans for an LRT extension to Barrhaven were scrapped back in 2006 (the current plan is to bring light rail to nearby Riverside South instead). Barrhaven does, however, have a dedicated
rapid Transitway that quickly and easily connects residents to the downtown core via OC Transpo buses. The Transitway also ensures buses are no longer travelling on Woodroffe Avenue and Fallowfield Road, easing the traffic congestion on two of the area’s busiest streets. In order to get even more vehicles off local roads, Harder says she is now focused on creating more
daytime employment opportunities in Barrhaven so more people can bike or walk to work. “We’ve set the stage for that by approving the CitiGate lands, which are over at the 416 and Fallowfield, where we have zoning in place that will allow for 7,000-plus jobs there. It’s a premier business park so it’s for high end businesses,” Harder explains.
Riverside South population to expand
The Vimy Memorial Bridge crosses the Rideau River, connecting Earl Armstrong Road in Riverside South to Strandherd Road in Barrhaven. SAFFRON BLAZE/WIKIPEDIA
Up until 1996, Riverside South, one of Ottawa’s newest suburbs, was home to just a handful of farms and houses. Today, more than 10,000 people live there and the population is expected to balloon in the next few years. “It’s a rapidly expanding neighbourhood,” says Scott Thiel, president of the Riverside South Community Association (RSCA). “I can’t believe how much has changed and how much is going to change in the next little while.” Thiel and his family moved to the area about four years ago. He says the potential for growth, particularly with the opening of the Vimy Memorial Bridge (formerly the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge), is what initially attracted him to Riverside South. “We moved there before the bridge was finished. We recognized that, once that bridge went in, there’s going to be opportunity to kind of be in the city but be out of the city. In Barrhaven, we have every amenity that we could possibly need without having to drive down Hunt Club or go downtown.”
While he believes many others who have moved into to the area feel the same way, Thiel says there are a number of people who bought homes in Riverside South for the exact opposite reason -- because it was quiet. Today, though, Riverside South is no longer quiet. Since the opening of the Vimy Memorial Bridge, there has been an increase in traffic along River Road and Earl Armstrong Road is now a high speed route. There are also plans for more residential and commercial development. Thiel says the RSCA is working with the City of Ottawa on its Community Design Plan for Riverside South in order to ensure those issues are addressed and that the vision for the rapidly expanding area is one that works for everyone. Likely one of the biggest changes coming to Riverside South is light rail. The Trillium Line, which was originally supposed to extend to Barrhaven until those plans were scrapped a decade ago, will go to Riverside South instead. Construction is expected to wrap up in 2023.

Bridlewood, a popular neighbourhood in the west end of Ottawa, is rich in history. Once agricultural land owned by the Deevy family, this area is now home to a large population. Kanata is filled with every amenity you could ever imagine, which makes Bridlewood appealing to those hoping to spend more time walking and less time driving. With many big box stores, gyms, movie theatres, grocery chains, and doctor’s offices, everything you need is right out your front door. Residents of Bridlewood take comfort knowing their community is safeguarded by the Bridlewood Community Association (BCA). The BCA deals with various community matters including sports, outdoor hockey rinks, garage sales, safety and security, business networking, traffic volume concerns, and developer and zoning activity. This is, after all, a family community. Deevy’s Homestead offers spacious bungalow townhomes ranging in size from 1257 sq.ft. to 1759 sq.ft.

Longwood is excited to announce a new floorplan at Richmond Gate. The expansive 1745 sq.ft. model is only $354,900 and includes a finished basement at no extra cost.

Richmond Gate offers buyers stylish and comfortable semi-detached bungalows on large lots. There are five different models to choose from, and floorplans range from 1253 sq.ft. to 1775 sq.ft. All plans offer spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom homes with laundry on the main level. Buyers have a wide array of options including an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet in the master bedroom, cathedral ceilings in the great room, a second full bathroom and bedroom.

As a bonus, it’s only a ten minute drive to Kanata where you can take advantage of the Kanata Centrum shopping centre with a theatre, big box stores, and much more.

Longwood has been an integral part of the Ottawa community for over 25 years. Born and raised in the city, founder Guy Whissel, watched the landscape of Ottawa develop, knowing that, when he grew up, he wanted to make his mark on the city in a meaningful way. After gaining the necessary experience, Guy stepped out on his own and founded Longwood. The company began small, but it quickly made a mark for itself on the Ottawa market. Now, many years later, Longwood has built more than 1250 single homes, Adult Lifestyle Bungalows and Condominiums for growing families and people who are downsizing. Guy and his team work to analyze the market and trends in order to better understand what it is that the Ottawa community is looking for in a new home. With so many baby-boomers facing retirement, Guy has noticed an increased demand for Adult Lifestyle Communities. Two of Longwood’s communities, Richmond Gate and Deevy’s Homestead, are geared toward a population looking to downsize, while still enjoying a sense of independence in a quality built home.

Many millennials expect help with DOWN PAYMENT FROM PARENTS Canadian millennials are op�mis�c about the future, including their homeownership prospects, according to a new poll by RE/MAX. The survey, conducted by Leger, found that 78.5 per cent of Canadians 18-34 agree that owning a home they love is a�ainable. In all provinces, Canadians overwhelmingly agree that homeownership is a�ainable, despite price apprecia�on in ci�es like Toronto and Vancouver. The survey also found that 81.6 per cent of Canadians 18-34 agree that finding a good job in their field is a�ainable, demonstra�ng overall op�mism about their future. While millennials are op�mis�c about homeownership, many expect help in order to make their dreams a reality. Of Canadians 18-34 who are considering buying a home, 37 per cent expect help with their downpayment from a family member or friend. Of those who are expec�ng help, 60 per cent an�cipate that it will come from their parents. “The older genera�on has seen significant apprecia�on in the value of their homes, while the younger genera�on is entering the market at a higher price point,” said Gurinder Sandhu, Execu�ve Vice President, RE/MAX INTEGRA Ontario-Atlan�c Canada Region. “This means first-�me buyers in Canada’s higher-priced markets o�en need a li�le help, which many parents are in a posi�on to offer.” Unsurprisingly given the higher home prices in these regions, prospec�ve buyers in all age demographics in Bri�sh Columbia are most likely to expect help, followed by those in Ontario. The survey also found that when asked about their financial priori�es, 68.2 per cent of Canadians 18-34 agree that saving for a downpayment is a priority and 78.4 per cent agree that saving for re�rement is a priority. “We’ve found that for many young Canadians, homeownership is an important milestone that they are ac�vely working toward,” said Elton Ash, Regional Execu�ve Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada.
Start saving early for your FIRST DOWN PAYMENT
Buying a home: how much can you afford? You’d like to set a budget in order to purchase a condominium, house or any other type of home, but you don’t know where to start? The maximum purchase price you can pay depends on several factors. Here are some guidelines to help you. First, calculate all your monthly household expenses, including housing, communica�ons, entertainment, savings, insurance, healthcare and transporta�on. The more realis�cally you record your expenses, the be�er your idea of what you can pay towards a house. Next, you need to determine the exact amount of all your debts. Mortgage lenders will ask you for this informa�on, so be prepared. Now note all the costs of buying and owning a property, such as a home inspec�on, transfer tax and a notary or lawyer’s fees. Calculate how much of a down payment can you come up with. Keep in mind the federal guideline that says you shouldn’t let your monthly housing costs (mortgage, interest, taxes and hea�ng) exceed 28 per cent of your average gross monthly income. Generally, your debt-to-income ra�o (the total amount you spend each month to repay all your debts, including housing) shouldn’t exceed 36 per cent of your average gross monthly income. If you would like to have more informa�on about your mortgage eligibility or about your ability to pay, visit the website of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora�on. 12 Floor Plan - Thursday, April 21, 2016
“Furthermore, while Canadians con�nue to value and aspire to homeownership, they are not doing so at the expense of other financial considera�ons, such as re�rement savings.” The survey, conducted by Leger, surveyed 1,516 Canadians between Monday, March 28, and Thursday, March, 31, 2016.

Add a touch of spring to your DINING ROOM Would you like to celebrate the arrival of spring by adding some pep to your dining room? Here are three sugges ons.
1. Flowers
One thing’s for sure: you can’t buy a front door in the same way as you’d buy a basement or bedroom door. Front doors have to be visually appealing as well as very strong. A great way to bring spring into your home is with a centrepiece for your dining table. Fill a favourite vase with spring flowers — think tulips, lilies, gerbera, lilacs, daffodils or hyacinths. For a truly stunning arrangement, consult a florist.
2. Birds
It is true: “One swallow does not a summer make.” However, for a spring-like touch, you can use some decora ve elements inspired by our feathered friends. Try a tablecloth with a bird pa ern, a vintage-style metal birdcage or a slim vase filled with a few long feathers.
3. Colour
Welcome spring’s freshness into your dining room by op ng for pastel (mint green) or citrus colours (lemon yellow).
Remember your homework LEARN ABOUT TARION’S 7-YEAR WARRANTY There are so many decisions to make when buying a new home. The location, the layout, the finishes - the choices can seem overwhelming at times. But the biggest and possibly the most important decision is choosing a builder. So, before you make any commitments on which model home you like, whether to have three bedrooms or four, and what floor tile you want, be sure you have the right new home builder. Buying a new home might be the largest purchase you ever make so do your homework and make an informed decision.
registered, it may be because he/she could not meet the minimum technical standards or failed to provide the proper financial securities mandated by Tarion. In any case, they are likely building illegally. It is illegal to build a new home in Ontario without first being registered with Tarion as a new home builder. It is also illegal to build or sell a new home without registering that home in the warranty program. This is required to protect against substandard homes and potential liability issues for home buyers.
So, the first step to making your first new home buying decision is to search the Ontario Builder Directory available at Tarion.com. This directory gives a 10-year building history for all registered builders. It also tells you who is no longer registered to build homes. You can even see who has been nominated or received an Award of Excellence. The Tarion Award of Excellence is presented to builders with the highest scores in customer satisfaction as chosen by their own customers. That’s why we say the award is earned, not won.
All new home builders in Ontario must be registered with Tarion. Every new home builder must offer a seven-year warranty on every home they build. Tarion regulates new home builders in Ontario and backstops the builder’s warranty. If your builder is not
New home buyers are the ones who suffer the most when they purchase an illegallybuilt home. They can be left with unfinished or even uninhabitable homes – without even knowing that they are entitled to warranty protection.
Once you’ve made sure your builder is registered, the next step is to ask around. Walk around other neighbourhoods where the builder has built previously and inquire about these homeowners’ experiences. Speaking to other homeowners will give you
14 Floor Plan - Thursday, April 21, 2016
a good indication of whether the builder stands behind their work and if customer service is a priority – both before and after possession. You can also ask for references in online or social media communities. There are a number of active homerelated sites where experiences are shared about everything from décor selections to construction delays and the after-sales customer service. Take time with all your new home buying decisions especially the important, first choice of who the builder is. Do your homework and don’t be swayed by builders who claim that they have a special exemption or that you don’t need a Tarion warranty because they are offering their own. Being registered and providing a warranty isn’t optional – it’s the law.
2016 DECORATING TRENDS for the bedroom Is it me to bring your bedroom’s style into this decade? Or perhaps you’d soon like to take on a really exci ng renova on project? Then let yourself be inspired by the latest trends and give your bedroom a makeover worthy of the classiest home decor magazines.
Beds play a starring role
The central element of any master bedroom has to be the bed. For a trendy look, opt for a model with a padded headboard, with sleek, industrialstyle metallic lines, or in a rus c or Scandinavian style. Note that four-poster beds are also very up-to-the-minute. Just make sure you can leave 30-60 cm between the top of the structure and the ceiling in order to avoid overpowering the room.
The bedding
Dress up your bed with fluffy, voluminous bedding. Choose classic fabrics; linen, which has a so texture and amazing durability, is a great choice. It wrinkles easily, but that’s part of its charm. To find the kind of bedding that
Ottawa Housing starts down slightly in March
will make all the difference in your revamped bedroom, shop around in your local stores. And don’t forget that vibrant herringbone pa erns are very fashionable this year, and no, they aren’t just for kids.
Lighting
Add some character to your bedroom with an unusual light fixture in the middle of the ceiling; make sure it works with a dimmer switch. Gold, silver and bronze models are all very “in” this year; however, chandeliers always look great in the master bedroom. When matched appropriately to the decor, they add a wonderfully classic touch.
Long live the blues!
Here’s a useful factoid: all shades of blue are popular for 2016. Whether it’s for the walls, curtains or bedding, this soothing colour will transform your master bedroom into a peaceful haven. Now, let’s see: do you prefer sky blue, ocean blue, sapphire blue or teal?
Housing starts in the O awa Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 4,953 units in March compared to 5,245 units in February according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora on (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “Housing starts trended slightly lower in March across all dwelling types with the excep on of rows,” said Anne-Marie Shaker, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for O awa. “Starts have trended lower as the number of completed and unsold units has trended higher for all dwelling types with the most pronounced increase in the condominium segment.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly es mates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situa ons, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the mul ples segment of the markets, which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The mul ples segment includes apartments, rows and semi-detached homes. In O awa, the monthly SAAR measure was 3,716 in March up from 3,166 in February, due to a rise in single-detached, row and apartment home construc on. Notably this month, the bulk of the apartment construc on took place outside the city core in the west end of O awa, as core areas have the highest share of under construc on inventory. As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objec ve housing research and informa on to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

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!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, now is time to channel your energy in a creative way to inspire others. You can achieve great things when you work with others as a cohesive team. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there is time for fun and there is time to get serious, and you may have difficulty distinguishing between the two. Find someone who can guide you. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, share your insight on a project if you have ideas on a different approach. If you keep your thoughts bottled up, frustration can fester and aggravate you. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You need to take an intellectual approach to handling some trouble that has come your way. Thinking rationally can help you, as can taking time to find the best solution. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, let someone else take over the reins this week. You can use a break and this is a good chance to see what others around you are capable of accomplishing. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Consider a new approach to personal interactions, Virgo. By being more open to others’ opinions, you may get to see another side of the equation. It’s important to be receptive.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, do something spontaneous instead of weighing all of the options this time around. It’s good to be act on instinct once in a while. This could be just what you need. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a disagreement could quickly boil over if you are not around to put out the flame. You thrive as a mediator, as many people look up to you and trust your opinions. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, spending too much time indoors is not good for you. Try to get out and socialize a bit more this week, taking in some new sights while you’re at it. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can see what you want to achieve just hovering in the distance, but right now you do not have the means to get there. A little patience is warranted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the more things have been going your way, the more you feel confident everything will fall in line this week. Just don’t get too ahead of yourself. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 If you want your ideas to be valued, you’ll have to speak up a little more, Pisces. Don’t be afraid to express confidence in your abilities. 0421
