Ontario commits $1 billion to second phase of LRT Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

The provincial government has committed to funding Phase 2 of Ottawa’s light rail, including extensions to Trim Road and the airport. Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Orléans at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 3 to make the $1 billion funding announcement. The province will provide a third of the funding necessary to complete Phase 2 of the city’s LRT project,

which includes extensions to Place d’Orléans, Bayshore, Baseline and Bowesville. The province will also pick up the tab for half of the cost to extend the rail lines from Place d’Orléans to Trim Road, and a twostop spur to the airport. In 2014, when Wynne made a campaign stop in Ottawa, she committed to funding Phase 2 of light rail if elected. “When I announced support … we had already supported Stage 1,” she said on June 3. “But it was just

Stage 1. The real test is if we keep going, to keep building.” Area councillors and Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde have pushed to have light rail extended all the way to Trim Road at the same time. As well, the Ottawa International Airport has been pushing to have light rail transit extended out to the airport instead of stopping in the south end without a link to the airport. Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca attended the June 3 funding announcement and said that Ottawa MPPs have “hunted me down at every opportunity” to lock down funding for Phase 2 of LRT. “This really is a game changer for Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who was flanked by members of city council at the announcement. “We don’t put our shovels down in 2018.” He said it didn’t make sense to stop digging once the necessary people and equipment are already in Ottawa working.

Stage 2 is scheduled to begin construction in 2018, with a 2023 opening date at this point.

Orléans MP Andrew Leslie campaigned on his commitment to extend light rail all the way to Trim Road, and now it’s up to the federal government to deliver a similar commitment. “It’s my job now to replicate the success,” Leslie said of the provincial announcement. “Between now and 2017, the pressure’s on me — and I like pressure.” In March, Leslie told Metroland Media that the federal Liberal budget was good news for light rail transit in Orléans and Ottawa. The federal budget has $3.4 billion allocated to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund. In the budget, it listed Ottawa light rail transit as an example of the type of project that could receive funding.

St. Augustine students’ play recognized with national award Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A local school’s play highlighting the struggles of Syrian refugees when they arrive in Canada has won a national award. St. Augustine School, located at 1009 Arnot Rd. in the Courtland Park neighbourhood, was recognized with the Judge’s Choice Award in The Learning Partnership’s Entrepreneurial Adventure Program on May 30. The program recognizes student business ventures from across Canada that aim to raise money for charity.

Sarah Wenslawek and her Grade 5 students came up with the idea to provide a service, rather than focus on the creation of goods. First the students had to decide who needed their help and how they’d like to help. Students voted to do a play for the school and hold a bake sale. The play, called “The Suitcase”, written by Beatriz Pizano, about a refugee from Colombia who falls asleep in class clutching a suitcase, was adapted based on the story the students wanted to tell about Syrian refugees. Wenslawek said her students wanted to portray the

same themes, but worded it in different ways, from walking in someone else’s shoes to not judging a book by its cover. The play focused on empathy and kindness, bravery, courage and understanding. “It takes courage to not let biases or prejudice’s prevail,” Wenslawek said of the message the play taught her own students. Grade 5 student Julia Esber said creating the adaptation of the play and performing it and was “pretty amazing.” “I learned that if you focus and practice and co-operate, you can achieve something amazing,” she said.

The class performed the play for the school’s primary and junior classes in early May. Then a few weeks later, Wenslawek, a first-year teacher at the school, found out the class project had won an award. “It was awesome. It’s an honour and I’m very proud of them,” she said of her students. The students also took to the stage at the 2016 Ottawa Entrepreneurial Adventure Showcase at the Canadian Museum of History to perform their play on May 30, before accepting their award in front of more than 700 students.

New technology will see planes approach airport over neighbourhoods Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

NAV Canada hosted a public consultation on June 2 to discuss proposed flight paths that would go over Blackburn Hamlet — potentially by the end of the year. Some airplanes are beginning to be equipped with required navigation performance (RNP) technology, that can make fight paths to Ottawa’s airport more effi-

cient, cutting back on flight times and, as a result, emissions. The performance-based navigation tool is one of the tools being used in Canada’s Action Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Aviation. For Blackburn Hamlet, it means residents could see up to eight more planes overhead a day, depending on weather and which runway is being used.

“We expect it to currently be a maximum eight a day, but never more than three an hour,” said Michelle Bishop, director of public affairs for NAV Canada. Different runways are used in different weather conditions and wind direction, which is part of the reason flight paths can vary from day to day or week to week. Most flights that would fly over Blackburn Hamlet would be coming

from Northern Canada or Calgary. About 20 to 25 per cent of planes are expected to be operating with RNP this fall, though the number could increase in the future, said Bishop. As air fleets modernize, the expectation is more planes will be equipped with the system. Currently, most of the planes overhead in Blackburn Hamlet are from departures, which won’t be affected by the new technology. Bishop said most complaints about noise are because of a runway that sees planes departing over the Hamlet. The planes landing using RNP are quieter, she said. The planes aren’t using as much throttle or flap use. Some areas of the city could see slightly more air traffic from the new routes, while some could see less, Bishop explained. Most of the RNP routes

The other area that will see more traffic overhead will be Kanata, as the same amount of air traffic over Blackburn Hamlet is expected through a corridor between Kanata and Stitts-

ville, Bishop said. A public consultation similar to the one held in Blackburn Hamlet will be held in Kanata on June 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Maurice-Lapointe school gymnasium at 17 Bridgestone Dr.

Period Project launches in Ottawa Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

For Det. Sylvie Reaney, periods aren’t just something to think about once a month. Once again supported by the Ottawa Police Service, the 27-year Ottawa policing veteran has launched the second phase of her campaign to collect sanitary napkins and tampons for women in Ottawa who can’t afford them and often go without as a result. It’s called the Period Project, and it was spearheaded to coincide with the timing of International Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28, which is held to boost awareness about the need for good menstrual hygiene and the challenges women face because of their periods as well as to challenge taboos around the subject. And the fraud investigator is hoping Ottawa residents will show as much support in the coming weeks as they did during the first Women Helping Women campaign launched late last year, which was a purse drive that she and Heidi Dawson initiated, called the Purse Project. In that campaign, people from across the city rallied behind the cause and dropped off more than 4,000 purses stuffed with supplies for women in need in Ottawa, ranging from toothbrushes to pads and tampons. “I think it struck a chord with every female out there,” Reaney said of the response. “We all connect with it.” She also took some of the donated items, filled a box with them and took it down to the jail cells at Ottawa police headquarters for women in custody. “Spending a night in jail isn’t a good thing,” said Reaney. “And this was just a way to recognize their needs. “We’re not there to judge you. We’re there to help you, show you some respect and dignity.” Reaney didn’t want the Purse Project to be a one-time initiative, especially given the needs of financially vulnerable women struggling to feed themselves and their families, never mind paying for sanitary napkins for themselves. This time around, purses are not being

collected. Reaney wanted the emphasis to be on the sanitary hygiene products themselves since they are urgently needed at shelters and the Ottawa Food Bank. Women Helping Women and the Ottawa Police Service are teaming up this time around with the food bank, which will also serve as a collection point for the products. MOST IN NEED

“Our supply of household products, which includes sanitary hygiene products, can run low as supporters don’t always know we accept these non-food items,” Samantha Ingram, communications coordinator at the Ottawa Food Bank, said in a statement. “Since approximately 35 per cent of our clients are women, this initiative is an excellent opportunity for us to collect these items and distribute them to women most in need.” Reaney said she also wants the campaign to be about more than just giving at Christmas, “because periods continue on after Christmas.” “Periods are a monthly thing, and the

purses are going to last forever but the products in them don’t,” she said. The hope is that the Period Project will also generate awareness about the needs of vulnerable women, whether they’re living on Ottawa’s streets, staying in shelters or living in their own homes but struggling to make ends meet. Many of the donated items will go to area shelters, where many women find it embarrassing to have to ask for sanitary products, particularly when male staff members are on duty, Reaney explained. “They’re reluctant to approach a male and ask for a tampon,” she said. Collection bins are now stationed in the entryways of the downtown police headquarters building, at 474 Elgin St., and stations in Kanata at 211 Huntmar Dr., and Orléans at 3343 St. Joseph Blvd. They will remain in place until the campaign closes on June 23. Products can also be dropped off at the Ottawa Food Bank at 1317 Michael St. For more about Women Helping Women and the Period Project, go to facebook. com/WHWPP.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to think big for 150th birthday

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a big day when Canada turns 150. And we should be thankful that the people in charge of the party are thinking big. Subterranean sound and light shows are coming. The list of entertainment options keeps growing. Announcements of new ideas continue week by week, month by month. The folks in charge are not holding back, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to live here in the capital, where the biggest party in the country will take place. Last week saw the announcement of a massive entertainment idea: a giant dragon and a spider that will chill anyone with arachnophobia. The dragon even breathes fire. The giant wildlife will turn some of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets into art galleries. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be very public galleries; easily accessible to all. That makes it a great idea. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be celebrated throughout 2017 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; needs to incorporate as many free events as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Canadian value to share. It will take lots of tax money to put on the party, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be able to enjoy the activities,

no matter who we are or where we come from. Anyone who laments the tax spending should consider the organizing committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimate that the party will boost tourism across Canada, all while generating jobs. As well, there are millions of dollars in private funding going towards the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milestone birthday bash. The committee estimates a large economic impact for the city, province and country, projecting it will have more than a $230 million impact on GDP and generate more than 3,000 jobs for the province. The celebrations will stretch throughout 2017, and will take place in cities and towns, spreading the economic impact far and wide. So far the signs from organizers here in Ottawa are promising. Parliament Hill and the streets of this city are excellent venues that ensure everyone can get a look at the shows, the dragons and any spiders on the prowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will change the way people view Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? said Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme. Ottawans should look forward to more announcements from the committee. The last task? Someone will have to bake a VERY big cake.

Technology challenges everyday ethics CHARLES GORDON

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s count up the things the Internet has brought us since it began impacting our lives, roughly 20 years ago: Scams, online bullying, a vast increase in racist and insulting comments, pornography, hacking of personal, corporate and governmental websites, easier plagiarism, computer viruses, selfies, diminished incomes for writers and musicians, texting while driving, the death of independent bookstores, the impending death of privacy, the possible death of print journalism, and the near-death of attention spans. That may not be a complete list. But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back. Humans being humans, we never do. That would not be progress.

Still, every once in a while comes an event that makes you wonder. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grabbing of tickets for the Tragically Hip farewell tour. Many Canadians are fans of the band and are even more involved in this tour because of the incurable brain cancer of its lead singer, Gord Downie. They went through their usual Internet moves as soon as tickets went on sale, only to find that they had been scooped up by scalpers, who then offered them for exorbitant mark-up prices on reseller sites. There has been public outrage, justified. This sort of thing has happened before, but the poignancy of this particular tour has intensified public anger. There are demands for action.

Could it eliminate the powerful computer programs that instantly buy up huge blocs of tickets? Could it outlaw ticket resellers, which are now huge corporations? Could it avoid punishing individuals who have legitimate reasons, such as illness, for wanting to resell their tickets? Could it deal with the front-ofthe-line programs that seem to put tickets into the hands of resellers? Or does the answer lie elsewhere? (No, not another public awareness campaign!) Could it lie in individuals declining to act like jerks or declining to help jerks? Such as: donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy the scalped tickets; let the scalpers eat the tickets they gobbled up.. Another answer is promoters using their power responsibly. When Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket reselling law was announced about a year ago, Mirv-

ish Productions of Toronto, which sells more than one million theatre tickets a year, revealed that it does not allow ticket resales. Resold tickets are voided upon detection. That seems both straight-forward and effective. Given the state of public opinion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the self-interest of promoters to make sure fairness returns to the marketplace.

Give a gal some help

he prime minister’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, has come under fire for suggesting to Quebec newspaper, Le Soleil, that she is overwhelmed by requests for public appearances and requires more than a single staff person to help her manage these requests. “The kind of statements we heard from the prime minister’s wife, you know, speak to that disconnect with the reality that Canadian women face,” said NDP MP Niki Ashton. “So if we’re going … to talk about women feeling overwhelmed, let’s talk about everyday Canadian women feeling overwhelmed.” Hey, I’m an everyday Canadian woman, a business owner and a mother of three. I’m often overwhelmed. It’s my state of being. I’d like some extra help, too. Do I begrudge Grégoire Trudeau’s request for more help? Not at all. I can barely handle my own emails most days and I guarantee I don’t get anywhere near the hundreds of equests the prime minister’s wife must manage. As an overwhelmed Canadian woman, I am fully in support of any prime minister’s wife representing Canada here and abroad as an ambassador for our country. Grégoire Trudeau, in particular, is well-spoken

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse and has been well received in many circles. A single staff person is a small price to pay if it means the prime minister’s wife can better manage requests and potentially to participate more in her non-official capacity. She’s not elected, no. But make no mistake that she has a public mandate. Hey Canadian Public, if you want Sophie to stay hidden, then stop sending her 700 requests per day to appear at your events. Responding to 700 emails a day is, in itself, a full-time job. But others don’t see the value. Conservative MP Candice Bergen suggested it was “hypocrisy” for the Trudeaus to ask for staff, seeing the request as further evidence of “vanity” and “self-promotion”. Part of the problem is that the prime minister’s wife has no official role in Canada. While it’s hoped, and expected by many, that Grégoire Trudeau will travel across the country to speak at events or help raise money for charities, there is no of-

fice to help her tend to those duties in an official capacity. But beneath this overt problem is the misogynistic viewpoint shared by many public critics – the idea that Grégoire Trudeau, as a woman, should manage a hectic public schedule from her dining room table office while overseeing the household, children and other things domestic. Or, the alternative, that that she should mimic the wives of past prime ministers, such as Aline Chretien and Sheila Martin, and stay in the background while her husband gets on with the “real business” of governing the country. (It’s too bad. I would have liked to see more of them both). Either one of those viewpoints reeks of a misunderstanding of what Grégoire Trudeau as a woman, mother and wife of a prime minister has to offer. With her talent and potential to represent Canada and do public good, Grégoire Trudeau should neither be confined to domesticity nor should she be expected to do it all without the basic support

staff required both at home and to augment her public appearances. I think it’s lovely that Laureen Harper managed her public schedule without staff. She did a lot of great work. But let’s be clear – Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was a Quebec celebrity before she ever married a future prime

minister. She’s more in-demand than past spouses. Instead of engaging in tall poppy syndrome, Canadians should be pleased that she’s willing to use that celebrity to help promote their causes. I’m sure a big part of her, as a mother, would rather say no so she could spend more time with the kids. A single salary is a small

price to pay for the potential to see more of the prime minister’s wife here and abroad. Parliamentarians should stop their bickering, set up an official office for Grégoire Trudeau, make her and staff accountable to Parliament for any spending. The alternative, of course, is to appoint her to the senate.

OLG slot workers back on the job kkent@metroland.com

After more than five months of negotiations, slots workers have returned to their jobs at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The 124 workers who were locked out in December were welcomed back to work on June 2 after their union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) reached a collective agreement on May 27. “We agreed to agree on the stuff that we agreed on,” said Larry Rousseau, regional executive vice president for PSAC. Workers were locked out in December when the union and OLG could not reach a collective agreement. Workers have spent the past five months rallying for fair wages and protected pensions, and Rousseau said their efforts were worthwhile. Rousseau said the two

parties have reached an agreement on the workers’ pension language by including it as a memorandum of understanding that states “OLG will continue to keep everyone on Ontario’s pension plan – the government’s – for as long as OLG owns the site (the Raceway).” “It’s not exactly what we wanted – we would have preferred it be in the collective agreement – but it’s there and that’s good,” Rousseau said. The negotiations for wages are slightly more complicated. Over the term of the five-year collective agreement, PSAC and OLG have settled the first three years of wage increases. OLG has agreed to wage increases of 1.75 per cent in the first year, with no increases in years two and three. It’s the final two years and a lump sum payment deal that have been sent to a third party arbitrator for a decision. PSAC’s offer is for a two per cent wage increase in year four and a

three per cent hike in year five with a $5,000 lump sum. OLG’s offer is for a 1.75 per cent increase in year four, nothing in year five and a $2,800 lump sum. Rousseau said it is now in the hands of the arbitrator to decide which offer will stand. “The arbitrator will choose either PSAC’s offer or OLG’s offer,” he said. “It’s black or white.” END OF THE ROAD

Rousseau said that the vast majority of the 124 workers who have struggled for the past five months are happy the process is over, but that there is still a lot of frustration.Pickets and signage came down immediately following the agreement, but Rousseau said there is still some “poststrike stress” for employees. “It’s not where anyone wanted to be,” he said of the five-month hiatus from work. “I am very happy and relieved it is over,”

Notice of Commencement Transit Project Assessment Process Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit

Martha Chaparro, Maya Pasionek, 9, Sophie Toro, 8, and Ana Daza pose behind their lemonade stand at the Greenboro Community Centre on June 4. The lemonade stand was part of Lemonade Standemonium, a city-wide fundraiser for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Since 2013 the event has raised more than $190,000 for the foundation in support of research and cancer care. This year, the event raised more than $56,000.

The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to expand the City’s Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) network, currently under construction, to the east, west and southwest regions of the City. The Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit includes extending the Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Baseline and Bayshore Stations as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will: • Add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. • Connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared by the proponent; the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program.

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion.

In an effort to show merchants just how much cyclists are buying from all types of retailers, IBikeIBuy is making a comeback this year – this time with a mobile app. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper began IBikeIBuy last year, asking cyclists to log online how much they are spending while shopping by bike when they parked at the bike corral at Fairmont Avenue and Wellington Street West. From May to October, more than $6,000 was reported through the IBikeIBuy.ca website. This year, cyclists in the five urban wards are asked to participate when shopping at popular destinations such as Wellington Street West, Richmond Road, Somerset Street, Preston Street, Bank Street, the Byward Market, Rideau Street,

Cyclists shopping in the city’s five urban wards are encouraged to log their purchases on IBikeIBuy.ca. Beechwood Avenue and Montreal Road. Councillors Mathieu Fluery, Tobi Mussbaum, Catherine McKenney and David Chernushenko are also supporting

the initiative. So far, the amount logged online is already more than $23,000. See MORE THAN, page 15

The app is expected to be ready for download for Google and Apple products in a few weeks. “We know that merchants can be a hurdle to adding more (infrastructure), particularly when we start to talk about removing parking. So we want to get merchants sensitized to how much customers are spending while cycling so that they become champions for it as well,” said Leiper.

He’s hoping the information on the website and app will be used to foster a bike positive perspective by merchants, who will then champion ideas such as more bike parking and other types of infrastructure. “Often times it’s seen as cyclists versus business, and we want to try to break down some of those perceptual barriers,” he said. The website allows users to enter the total purchase for a location in categories that include cafés and res-

taurants, retail, groceries, services and health and wellness. They are then mapped. “One of the perceptions out there is that people don’t shop for large quantities of groceries and you have to cater to cars, but what we are seeing is that there are at least some people out there buying large grocery orders (while) shopping by bike,” Leiper said. “It’s raising that awareness that people who are shopping by bike aren’t just

buying bike-related gear, they’re not just buying coffee at Ministry of Coffee, and they are purchasing (products) across the spectrum of consumer goods.” But the data won’t be used to support Leiper’s fight for more infrastructure at city hall, mostly because of the methodology. “Who knows what percentage of people we are actually reaching,” he said. “When I’m arguing for more safe cycling infrastructure, I’m going to be

the BIAs.” A recent Oregon tourism

study in the U.S. found bicycle tourists spend about 20 per cent more per visit than any other category of tourist. “Hopefully, we’ll see a reduction in the resistance around safe cycling infrastructure, so that no one knee jerks anymore and we can have a more nuanced conversation,” Leiper said. “Some of the numbers we are seeing are pretty exciting. Hopefully, it has the effect of reducing pushback.”

Bluesfest embraces fashion campaign for second year Festival’s fashion line makes its debut on the catwalk at Bayshore Mall Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

For some it’s all about the music, but for others it’s about the fashion. Bluesfest is known for attracting fashion statements and this year, for the second time, the festival is launching a fashion line accompanied by a stepped up fashion campaign, after last year’s success, said Julie Beun, Bluesfest fashion director. “Last year we gave it a shot and thought we would try it and Ottawa embraced it wholly. So this year we are building on the entire idea and creating additional things that will reflect the energy and spirit of Bluesfest in Ottawa,” Beun said.

The Bluesfest fashion line debuted at the Bayshore Mall on June 4, where the 17 different pieces, with a theme “Take me to a place I love,” were shown off down the catwalk. Stacey Bafi-Yeboa, owner of KANIA – Luxury Canadian Sweatshirts, designed the collection. Pieces from the collection are available for purchase before the festival at Bayshore Mall. “After the success of last year, in which music fans really loved the focus put on style and their own festival fashion, we decided to bring it back and to expand the scope.” Bluesfest’s executive and creative director Mark Monahan said in a press release. Beun said a lot of music

THE ART OF PERFORMANCE

festivals, from Coachella in California to the Osheaga Festival in Montreal, are embracing fashion as a key pillar of the festival. “Bluesfest has recognized that fashion and music are intrinsically related. You don’t look at Jim Morrison without thinking about those leather pants,” Beun said. Free fragrance and makeup sampling is making a comeback in the fashion tents this year, and the Style Squad will be reporting on the best looks of the festival on social media. There will also be free henna, glitter tattoos and onsite hair styling. Flowers Talk Tivoli, located on Richmond Road, will supply 3,000 free orchids at Bluesfest as part of the Loft Urban Salon’s free braiding and twirling salon. See BLUESFEST, page 18

But most exciting, Beun said, is the festival’s search to find two faces of Bluesfest from those who post photos or a short video to the festival’s Twitter and Instagram accounts by June 25. The winners will be used in promotional material for the festival, receive makeovers, a swag bag and festival passes. “It’s more of a personality search, a man and woman who best represent the spirit of Bluesfest,” Beun said. It will be a search of all the styles and personalities, from those who love country music,

to hip hop, to rock. “You can identify to other people the type of music they listen to by

Dear neighbours, Summer is finally here and I hope that you and your families are enjoying the warm weather and the many outdoor activities in Bay Ward and across Ottawa. Representing our City in China I was honoured to travel to China last month to represent Mayor Watson and our City at several events and meet with local and Provincial officials. I spoke at the International Mayor’s Forum on Tourism which brought together Mayors, Deputy and Vice Mayors and their representatives from around the world to share knowledge and developments in the tourism sector. It also provided an opportunity to promote Ottawa as a destination for foreign visitors and tourism business entrepreneurs. I also met with a number of Municipal, Provincial and business officials to encourage stronger business ties and promote Ottawa as a choice destination for Chinese business expansion to North America. During the trip I also had a chance to speak at the Mobile Electronic Competitive Industry 2016 Development Conference, met the Minister of Tourism, the Mayor of Guiyang and visited the Guiyang Crowdfunding exchange. At each stop promoting Ottawa as a destination for new business expansion and entrepreneurship. Father’s Day Barbecue I am pleased to be hosting a free barbecue to celebrate Father’s Day on Saturday June 18th at Kingsmere Park in the Glabar Community from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. Come out with your kids or grandkids and enjoy a hamburger or hotdog, I look forward to welcoming you. Pedestrian Crossovers Pedestrian Crossovers will be installed at low speed, low to medium volume roads, and at most single-lane roundabouts throughout the City during the month of June. Pedestrian Crossovers are designated areas that allow pedestrians to safely cross roads where vehicles must yield to pedestrians when crossing. Pedestrian Crossovers are identified by specific signs and pavement markings. In some cases, but not always, they may also have pedestrian activated flashing beacons. Please make sure you yield to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, failing to do so could result in a $150 to $500 fine with 3 demerit points. In our ward, a pedestrian crossover is being placed at Woodridge Crescent in the Accora Village community. Ramadan Kareem For those who are observing Ramadan, I wish you and your family a time of reflection and celebration. You can always find more details on upcoming events and activities in Bay Ward and across Ottawa by following me on Twitter and Facebook or by subscribing to updates at BayWardLive.ca.

ESL, arts and support staff funding questioned at public school board Board budget meeting draws parents, teachers, protesters and a councillor Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The first public consultation meeting surrounding the public school board’s upcoming budget left board staff grappling with the questions and concerns of parents, teachers and trustees on May 30. Among top concerns raised by delegates were the need for English as a second language funding and the importance of the extracurricular and creative arts program threatened by funding cuts. Protesters also gathered outside of the school board’s Greenbank Road office prior to the meeting to rally against proposed cuts to support staff positions. The meeting was the first of several public consultations that will invite delegates to join the budget debate before trustees vote on the budget on June 27.

Tasked with recovering $9.3-million in order to balance its next budget, staff recommended in a May 10 report that the board eliminate 47 administrative and support staff positions, in addition to the 38.8 academic staff cuts outlined in an earlier report. The most recently proposed cuts to full-time-equivalent positions include the loss of 16.5 educational assistants, 10 early childhood educators, one psychologist and 11.2 school office staff. The May 10 report argued that the 85 job cuts would be spread across the board in an effort to soften the blow to students and staff. “Efforts have been focused on developing a budget that staff believes minimizes the negative impacts on students,” the report said. “In addition, the reductions reflected in the staff recommended budget attempt to minimize the impact

that these decisions will have on staff and staffing levels.” But Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who spoke during the meeting, said he is especially concerned about how the cuts could affect the Syrian refugee students in the board’s schools. “I have concerns with regards to the cuts to ESL, specifically in the draft budget, and specific to the region of the Donald Street area where we have the highest concentration of Syrian refugees in the entire city,” Tierney said, adding that 100 Syrian refugee students currently attend Carson Grove elementary. Tierney praised the efforts of Ottawa residents to sponsor and welcome Syrian refugees, but said he is concerned about the level of community support that refugee families will rely on once federal See BOARD, page 25

accommodation funding for those families runs out. “Over the next year, we’re not going to know the effects, and we have to keep this in mind in regards to federal funding,” he said. “That being said, I know all levels of government are feeling the pinch right now, and ask you to keep this in mind when you’re making decisions around the board.” Shirley Seward, board chair and trustee for the zone covering River ward, echoed Tierney’s concern that ESL staff levels do not reflect the recent influx of refugee students. “With respect to English as a second language, we’ve talked about this before and said that if the numbers go up, in terms of new immigrants coming in, we would be able to adjust it in October,” Seward said. “However enrolment has already gone up by 100 ... We’ve increased our enrolment and we haven’t increased our number of

teachers or English as a second language teachers.” Several delegates – including advocates for the board’s extracurricular creative arts program and parents of students enrolled in it – spoke in defence of the paid arts program. Currently managed – though not subsidized– by the board and hosted at its schools, the program is facing a funding elimination that would shift the responsibility of its management from board staff to its arts instructors. Donna Blackburn, trustee for the zone covering the Barrhaven and KnoxdaleMerivale areas, defended the board’s suggestion to end its management of the program, saying that the board needs to focus on its basic mandate. “The bottom line is we have to do our core business, and our core business is educating JK to Grade 12, during school time,” Blackburn said after the meeting. “That’s all we can afford to do.

Heron Road Bridge renaming to Youths! Adults! Seniors! honour workers killed in collapse Earn Extra Money! Public consultation continues until June 30 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A bid to rename the Heron Road Bridge will prevent the fading of the memory, for some, of the day a portion of the structure collapsed during its construction, killing nine and injuring 55, says an Ottawa-based union boss. “It’s just to try and bring recognition. This was a huge deal in our city 50 years ago,” said Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council, who has been advocating that the structure, which spans Colonel By Drive and the Rideau Canal, be renamed as the Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge. “We want to make sure that those workers and certainly their families, their

grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and so on, that our community respects those workers,” he said. McKenny reached out earlier this spring to Mayor Jim Watson about the idea for the name change. After securing his support, the union head said he then successfully pitched it to River Coun. Riley Brockington, since the renaming of city infrastructure has to be brought forward to committee by a councillor. The bridge is in River Ward. “Arguably one of the worst construction accidents in the history of Ottawa, on August 10, 1966, the partially completed south span of the Heron Road Bridge collapsed, claiming the lives of nine workers and injuring an additional 55,” according to Brockington’s renaming proposal. “Following an inquest, the Province of Ontario’s construction safety standards were re-written.”

The collapse was caused by the improper installation of braces at one end of the bridge. As well much of the lumber used was actually green and not strong enough, said McKenny. When the structure collapsed, many of the workers were crushed and buried in wet cement, which had just been poured, he said. The collapse led to changes in the construction methods used to shore up bridges, as well as changes to what is now known as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, “and positive change to try and protect the worker more,” McKenny said. The idea for the name change has actually been a few years in the making, and was first talked about in 2006, coinciding with a 40th anniversary ceremony held at the site in memory of the bridge collapse.

Collapse killed nine, injured 55 Continued from page 27

A 50th anniversary ceremony is in the works for August 10 this year. Now that so much time has passed, the concern is that memories of that day in 1966 have faded to black. And many other newcomers to Ottawa aren’t even aware that the tragedy took place, said McKenny. “I am one of those that forever will know the day that bridge came tumbling down as the Heron Road bridge collapse,” said McKenny, who was just five years old when tragedy struck. His father was a business manager of Local 93, a carpenters union, when two of his fellow union members lost their lives that day. “So I heard stories as a kid all the time about the bridge and how the community just rushed over to the bridge and what a significant day it was and the days after that as well,” said McKenny. Likewise, Glenn Clark, a Blossom Park resident and president of the Gloucester Historical Society, said he

too heard stories growing up. His uncle, Les Haas, spoke of picnicking in nearby Vincent Massey Park when part of the structure crashed down. He had been having lunch with fellow staff members from Veterans Affairs, Clark recalled, adding that his uncle passed away in

to get told, that the lives of those workers continue to be remembered by the community,” McKenny said. The bridge was eventually opened to traffic on June 29, 1967, according to Gloucester Historical Society research. As well, the memorial at the site was unveiled

I think it’s really important that the story continues to get told, that the lives of those workers continue to be remembered by the community. SEAN MCKENNY, LABOUR COUNCIL PRESIDENT

2004. “A lot of these individuals in that story then – it’s not told quite the same way,” McKenny said. Organizers are now reaching out to some of those who took part in the 40th anniversary event, held near a memorial on the west side of the bridge not far from Prince of Wales Drive. “I think it’s really important that the story continues

The public has until June 30 to provide feedback to city clerk Kiel Anderson by emailing namingottawa@ ottawa.ca, or calling 613580-2424, ext. 13430.

massive spider? Well, thanks to Canada’s 2017 organization committee, Canadians won’t have to wonder what a 150th birthday celebration without them is like. The committee announced on June 1 at the Canadian Museum of Nature that a large-scale dragon, known as Long Ma, and a giant spider, Kumo Ni, will take over a downtown Ottawa street next summer with the goal that the extraordinary machines will help both local residents and tourists alike ring in Canada’s 150th birthday bash. The machines, which are indeed a sight to see as the dragon breathes fire and the spider’s eight legs are enormous, are exactly what Canada and Ottawa need for the big birthday celebration, according to Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 organizing committee.

“It will change the way people view Ottawa,” Laflamme said at the Ottawa 2017 announcement. “This will not only be a Canadian first, but a first for North America.” The company behind the curtain of these massive machines is La Machine, a French production company based in Nantes, France. Laflamme met with the company in 2015, knowing that they would be able to offer a captivating component of the 150 celebration’s programming. “Their majestic creatures and style of roving theatre will enchant and create cherished, unforgettable moments,” he said. The exact location is still yet to be decided, but the entirely free show is set to go on for four to five days, 24 hours a day, to the tune of an orchestra. A team of artists, technicians and theatre designers will be operating the ma-

According to the committee, Ottawa 2017 will boost tourism and generate a large economic impact for

the city, projecting it will have more than a $230 million impact on GDP and generate more than 3,000 jobs for the province.

PEACHES

My name is Peaches and I’m 5 months old. While I was a wee little kitten, I was living underneath a construction site trailer. I was rescued right before the harsh Ottawa winter hit. I’m very thankful for all the people who help animals in this world. Life’s great now. I spend my days being a diva (check out my glamour shot!) and following around my older brother Lemmy. We’re best friends.

Emerson chokes on his own chokecherry joke

he two chokecherry bushes just before the West Hill began were in full bloom. Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves. Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries. My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once

MARY COOK Memories removed? Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.” I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla. Only then could I get the glass of milk down.

So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time soon, it wouldn’t be from eating chokecherries and then drinking milk! That afternoon, Mother made a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes. The house was full of the wonderful smell of boiling berries. And then supper was

on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly. Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt in my mind he was up to something. The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoons full of jelly. He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did when he had the gripe in the winter time. Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice

she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong. “It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath. “I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.” His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table. Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother choking to death was a common occurrence. Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear. “So you think it was the jelly, do you?” Emerson could only nod.

“Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said. “Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.” Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe. “Don’t know what a man has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.
