Crowdfunding page launched for Prince of Wales Bridge Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Police presence didn’t derail a picnic on the Prince of Wales Bridge, organized by those opposing a proposal to build gates to barricade it from the public. In overwhelming humidity and with candles lighting up the rail line, about 30 people came out to eat, talk and listen to a gypsy jazz band on the edge of the bridge, located west of
LeBreton Flats, on Sept. 7. The former rail bridge is unused today, but some argue it could be renovated to become a valuable pedestrian and cycling link between Ottawa and Gatineau. According to the city, it would cost $10.5 million to make it a formal pedestrian and cycling route and the cost to convert the bridge for rail transit is between $20 million and $40 million. “It’s a beautiful space and I think it could be made so

much better,” said Aileen Duncan, one of the organizers of the event and founders of the Ottawa Rail Bridge project. The bridge project is a group that aims to work with residents, community associations, and governments to determine what can be done with the bridge. It also hopes to recommend policy options and facilitate discussions between interested parties. See GROUP, page 2
A jazz ensemble plays some tunes on the edge of the Prince of Wales Bridge while community members who oppose a plan to build $250,000 gates blocking access to the bridge picnicked on Sept. 7. The Ottawa Rail Bridge project, a group of members working to facilitate discussions about the revitalization of the bridge, launched a crowdfunding campaign the same day. MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

The same day as the sit-in, the Ottawa Rail Bridge project set up a crowdfunding page dedicated to raising funds for the bridge’s revitalization. So far, about $300 has been raised through the website. Duncan is hoping the page can raise about $10,000. Duncan previously organized a petition against gates for the bridge, which has more than 1,700 signatures. Gates could cost up to $250,000 and would be paid for with city tax dollars. “People really care about the bridge and want to see it open,” Duncan said. Of the police presence, she recognized the bridge is in rough shape. “We have the same goals to keep people safe – they think the way to do that is not to let people on and I think the way to keep people safe on the bridge is to improve the bridge.” Duncan previously suggested the rail ties be repaired and lighting be added to make the bridge safe, but
her thinking on the bridge’s potential has evolved. She’s now looking to other cities for ideas on how to use the bridge and takes inspiration from New York’s High Line park, which sits on an unused elevated railway line, she said. “It’s not enough for this space to just be safe and OK or not a liability anymore. Let’s dream big here,” Duncan said. Her ultimate goal is to help develop a co-financing agreement with the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau, the National Capital Commission and Infrastructure Canada to revitalize the bridge. At the event, she asked those interested to fill out suggestion slips with ideas for what the bridge could be. Alex Millaire, a member of band Moonfruits, which played at the picnic, said people have a lot of ideas for the bridge – one of his includes planting a community garden through the centre, where the tracks remain. See PRINCE, page 3
Prince of Wales Bridge picnic organizer wants to dream big Continued from page 2
“It would not be difficult to achieve,” Millaire said, adding the bridge would get enough sunlight for the project. He added that the $250,000 the city has proposed for gates would go a long way toward the bridge’s revitalization, which
could include guardrails along each side. His fellow band member, Kaitlin Milroy, said people are already comfortable using the space and even if gates are installed, the community will find a way to use the bridge. She’d like to see it opened up even more to create an accessible
pedestrian and cycling route. Calling other interprovincial crossings scary and dangerous, she said this would provide a safe route from Ottawa to Gatineau. Photographer Claudia Salguero loves the Prince of Wales Bridge and calls it an iconic place.
Aileen Duncan, a member of the Ottawa Rail Bridge project, speaks to community members who attended a picnic on the edge of the Prince of Wales Bridge on Sept. 7. Police blocked access to the bridge while community members who oppose a plan to build $250,000 gates blocking its access picnicked on Sept. 7.
“People are here all the time and it’s ridiculous for the city to consider spending money to close it off,” she said. “A big, ugly, secure gate would be sad – very sad.” She said the bridge would be a great location for artists of all kinds to gather and showcase their art and music. “This is a beautiful spot for art,” Salguero said.

Electoral reform town hall planned for Sept. 17 Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Residents of Ottawa WestNepean will have a chance to voice concerns and ideas about electoral reform on Sept. 17, at the Ukranian Hall, 1000 Byron Ave. The consultation, planned by MP Anita Vandenbeld, is being held from 6 to 9 p.m. The first half of the meeting will focus on electoral reform and Vandenbeld hopes to talk more generally about democratic reform following the discussion. “This is my topic – the one I care about the most,” Vandenbeld said. “When I entered politics, what I would have told you I was most excited about was being able to get input from people on how to make Parliament better and how to make democracy better, and to be able to take those forward.” Vandenbeld sits on the standing committee on procedure and House affairs and is looking forward to hearing ideas not only on electoral reform, but also ideas on what happens after members are elected. “It is very important how you elect people to Parliament, but it’s in my view even more important that once an MP is in Parliament, the institutions functions in a way where that MP can fulfill their role,” she said. “I’m looking for ideas from the public because I have a tremendous voice now, I have a megaphone and I want to use that and use it in a way that will
OTTAWA WEST-NEPEAN MP ANITA VANDENBELD amplify voices.” MPs were asked to host consultations in their ridings by the Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef, who is hosting an event Sept. 15 in the National Capital Region. The event is from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza in Gatineau, 2 Montcalm St. Residents in the Ottawa South riding, according to MP David McGuinty’s office, are being encouraged to attend the consultation with the minister on Sept. 15. Residents who emailed McGuinty’s office about electoral reform were informed of the event. Feedback from Vandenbeld’s townhall will be recorded and be forwarded to Monsef as part of the formal electoral reform consultation process, Vandenbeld said. The date, time and how Vandenbeld is getting the word out about her consultation have drawn some criticism from resident Guy Annable, who said her methods of advertising are not open or transparent. Annable ran for city council in 2014 and has started a Facebook page for My Vote Matters, a
group advocating for a referendum on electoral reform. Vandenbeld addressed the criticism in a recent interview, saying along with newspaper advertisements, she also posted information about the event to Facebook and Twitter about two weeks before the event. She also said Saturdays seem to be the day of the week most people have time to attend. Her office also sent emails to constituents who have contacted Vandenbeld about both electoral reform issues and democratic reform. Vandenbeld said she has held various town halls with varying numbers of participants – a pre-budget consultation brought out about 100 people, one on climate change even more and a third on innovation had about 30 attendees. While this is the only official meeting about electoral reform, she said those who can’t make the meeting can call her office about drop-in hours she hosts weekly. Vandenbeld and Monsef’s consultations are listed on the federal government’s website at www.canada.ca/en/campaign/ electoral-reform/participatein-canadian-federal-electoralreform-consultations/attenda-canadian-federal-electoralreform-event.html. Other Ottawa events listed include a My Vote Matters public town hall on electoral reform on Sept. 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, 102 Greenview Ave., and a meeting Sept. 27, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-laws 2016-288, 2016-289 and 2016-290 on August 31, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. City Council considered all submissions, including submissions received after the publication of the staff report, in addition to the planning and other considerations identified in the staff report in its decision on these matters. The staff report, and the Summary of Written and Oral Submissions can be viewed as part of the supporting materials for these matters as part of the August 31, 2016 Council Agenda available on Ottawa.ca. Any person or public body who, before the by-laws were passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to either of the three by-laws, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $300.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance. A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West. A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on October 5, 2016. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-laws were passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Should the by-laws be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified in the explanatory notes that accompany this Notice. An explanation of the purpose and effect of the three by-laws and a description of the lands to which each by-law applies are included. Dated at the City of Ottawa on September 15, 2016. Clerk of the City of Ottawa, City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-288 By-law 2016-288 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The proposed amendment will affect the TM9 – Traditional Mainstreet Subzone 9, which applies to Stittsville Mainstreet. The affect of the amendment will be to remove the requirement for a maximum interior side yard setback of three metres. This setback is not in keeping with the recently-approved Stittsville Mainstreet Secondary Plan and Community Design Plan, and should not have been included in the zoning for this street. EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-289 By-law 2016-289 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The amendment will introduce new zoning provisions for click and collect facilities and will affect properties city-wide. A click and collect facility is a delivery location where on-line purchases or other products may be picked up or returned by the consumer. Depending on where it is located, a click and collect facility will be permitted in a stand-alone, single-occupancy building or in another building with other permitted uses in the following commercial zones: Arterial Mainstreet; General Mixed-Use; Mixed-Use Centre; Rural Commercial; Traditional Mainstreet; Village Mixed-Use; Mixed-Use Downtown; Local Commercial; Transit-Oriented Development; and in a rapid transit network station. An amendment is also proposed to the MC zone provisions affecting South Keys Shopping Mall to permit a click and collect facility without lifting the holding symbol affecting the subject lands. Provisions regarding parking for click and collect facilities and minimum amounts of glazing are also proposed. For further information, please contact: Carol Ruddy, Planner Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 28457 • Email: carol.ruddy@ottawa.ca. EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-290 By-law 2016-290 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. This By-law makes minor changes and corrects errors in the Zoning By-law. The amendments establish a maximum front yard setback of three metres at 628 Industrial Road; add “dwelling unit” as a permitted use in Exception [401] (Corinth Private and Edo Private); amend Exception [1629] to change the reference from minimum parking to maximum parking at 3591 Innes Road; to permit agriculture as an accessory use to a dwelling on lots with 0.8 ha or more in the AG (Agriculture) zone and AG1, AG2 and AG3 subzones; modify the definition of “recreational and athletic facility; correct an error regarding maximum floor space index provisions at part of 355 Cooper Street; correct an error regarding parking provisions to recognize the five surface parking spaces at 137 George Street; correct the zoning boundary between two zones at 100 Rossignol Crescent; and rezone part of 5660 Flewellyn Road and part of unaddressed parcel on Flewellyn Road to recognize the existing place of worship and allow agricultural use.

Great Canadian Theatre Company partners with Shaw Festival for play Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Wrapping up the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s season is a brand new play produced by a firstever partnership. The Shaw Festival, a performing arts theatre in Niagara on the Lake, and the Great Canadian Theatre Company are working together on “1979” – written by Michael Healey about the eve of former prime minister Joe Clark’s minority government’s defeat in a non-confidence vote. The partnership was announced Aug. 19 and the play will take the stage beginning April 11 to 30, 2017. Ultimately it was the subject matter that attracted GCTC’s artistic
director Eric Coates to the production; it just so happened that Shaw’s new artistic director, Tim Carroll, was also interested. “It captures a period of Canadian politics that continues to resonate. It highlights a kind of defining moment when Canadian conservatism took a sharp right turn,” Coates said. “It’s a kind of satire that we don’t engage with that much in Canada. It’s still a relatively young form here,” he said, adding the play reflects how the public felt about some of its leaders. This is the third artistic partnership in the Grand Canadian Theatre Company’s season. The others include collaboration on “The Last Wife” by Kate Henning with the

Currently Coates is working with Carroll on casting before rehearsals start this spring at the Shaw Festival. “We are always energized by partnerships with our colleagues,” Coates said. “It just adds pressure to strive for excellence and that’s good for our company.” The play presents a directorial challenge – having a narrator on stage while actors continue to perform in the background. “Theatrically, it’s going to be very challenging to pull it off because while this other voice is going on, it’s not like a film where I can draw the

Not only because it’s a new play, but it might also raise some eyebrows. “There could be a lot of scrutiny,” he said, referring to the play’s political subject matter. “There might be some real excitement around it, but there might be some consternation because it does fudge history to a certain degree. It’s the kind of political history piece that fictionalizes some things that some people might feel very strongly about.” While a film audience might be OK with that, he noted it doesn’t always fly in a theatre. Though the play takes audiences back to 1979, there are some references to current political headlines, which will be changed before the curtain opens to keep things fresh.

We’re never too old to learn
T
he city’s public school is a democratic institution. Sort of. We have Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustees – publicly elected in a democratic system – who don’t seem keen on keeping the process so democratic. There’s evidence from current and past trustees that a clique sets the agenda and determines the proper outcome of votes before the public sits down to watch the debate. One of those former trustees has suggested students and parents would be better served by a school board made up of appointed trustees. It’s an idea worth considering. The people willing to put their name on the ballot to serve as trustee are clearly committed individuals. They must all arrive at the board table wanting children to excel. But things start to fall apart quickly when the demands of different parts of the city start pulling trustees in different directions. Trustees are elected in geographic zones, and the parents in each zone have diverse expectations. Trustees are forced into parochial decisions in order to keep local parents
happy – even when those decisions are not the best thing for students across the board. Appointed trustees could instead be specialists, without the geographic push and pull. They could be selected by the province for their experience, such as the ability to run a large committee. A financial wiz could be put in charge of understanding and explaining the budget, and members with real estate and construction experience could deal with expansion plans. As it stands today, incoming trustees have to learn these skills as they go. An appointed board would not be as democratic as a public vote every four years, but then again, in the most recent municipal election, some public board trustee zones saw turnout below 36 per cent. And even among those voters, who can say they made an informed vote? The best case scenario would see the province approve a pilot project, and try an appointed school board in one municipality for one term. It could turn out well or it could be scrapped, but it’s an idea worth trying. If the goal is to give our children the best possible education, nothing should be off the table.
Seems like no one wants to stay up late these days
A
report has come out suggesting the city’s arenas are being under-used. If you understand how the city’s thought processes work, you know that no good can come out of this. Already there is talk of streamlining and consolidating and building gleaming new structures. And if you understand how city thought processes work you know what this means: the arena near you is going to be shut down and some mega multipurpose thingy is going to be put up that you’ll have to drive halfan-hour to get to. You will be able to get a latté there, though.

people who can’t stay up late to play hockey, but the trend has been heading in this direction for some time. There was a reminder last week with the announcement of the CBC’s Peter Mansbridge’s imminent retirement. This provoked a flood of reminiscences about the CBC national news, and with it a reminder that The National, as it came to be called, was shifted to 10 p.m. from 11 p.m. in 1982. The comparison with the present day is quite startling. Before 1982 Canadians, if they wanted the CBC to tell them what was going on, had to sit up past 11 p.m., even later if they wanted the local news and weather. And they did. CBC’s ratings were pretty good in those days. Nowadays there’s no need.

CBC news is on at 10 and you can get it at 9 if you want to go to the all-news CBC channel. For that matter, you can read it online a lot earlier than that and hit the hay around the time the sun sets. News junkies are not the only Canadians who seem to need their sleep. Earlier start times are the rule rather than the exception in many areas of life. Local concerts that used to start at 8 now start at 7 or 7:30. So do most theatre performances. Even on Broadway some shows now start at 7 p.m. and the others start at 8 p.m., a change from the celebrated 8:30 p.m. of yore. What does this mean? Are we more health conscious, more aware of the need to get more sleep with less beer preceding it? Or, more ominously, are we stay-

After a seven-year battle with a rare brain cancer and Schwannoma, a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on nerve endings, Jacob continues to inspire and amaze his mother, Liliane Randell. “He’s got this connection with everyone he meets,� she said. “He’s seen more than he should and has lived beyond his years, and just when you think he can’t do something – he

Jacob Randell loves dinosaurs. Apparently he’s a big fan. So when four Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs met him in CHEO’s parking lot, the 12 year-old said he thought it was pretty cool. “I started to think something big was going to happen,� he said. Something big did happen. Jacob will be this year’s new CHEO’s Children’s Miracle Network Champion. A campaign sponsored by Walmart Canada, a champion has the unique opportunity to advocate for the hospital and encourage people to donate to the CHEO Foundation. Jacob said he intends to take the job seriously and although he finds it hard to pick one thing about the hospital he loves (he loves everything) he is quick to say they saved his life. “CHEO is my life. CHEO is one of the best hospitals ever. The doctors and nurses are amazing,� Jacob said. Jacob will also travel to Orlando, Florida, to be part of a Children’s Miracle Network Momentum conference at Disney World. There Jacob will have a chance to meet other champions from pediatric hospitals across North America. On hand to welcome Jacob as the new CHEO champion was last year’s champ, eight year-old Hodan Osman. Hodan had the pleasure of handing over the reigns – in this case Mickey Mouse ears – to Jacob. “I think Jacob is going to have an amazing time,� Hodan said. Like Hodan, Jacob will now represent CHEO throughout the coming year as the face of the 2017 Walmart campaign. According to Walmart, this campaign is one of the easiest to have nearly all of its 94,000 associates across Canada participate in.

Back to school means back to screens B BRYNNA ack to school at our house means back to screens. I’ve been bracing for it. When I talk to some parents, I realize my kids are among the lucky ones. Smartboards in every classroom. A unique, protected, in-board Google account associated with each student. Access to Chromebooks. All this in a public school. For the past two years, possibly more, our school has been transitioning to a paperless environment. This year, it’s for real.

Parents who work on computers during the day, own smartphones and generally have the time and interest to access online resources will be able to fill out forms and pay with their credit cards for school trips, milk programs and school supplies. Most families in Ottawa have Internet access at home. But there are some who don’t. Even among those with access, however, the reality of getting children online every day after school is a tricky one. It was an interesting second week of school at our house. Two kids needed to get online simultaneously during the homework hour; my daughter was chomping at the bit for me to download the songs she’s learning in junior kindergarten. We’re
not device-deprived, but we have yet to become the family with two devices each. I felt like my head was spinning. How could homework get done every day with kids fighting over Internet access? And once they’re on the Internet, how do I know they’re doing their work and not messing about looking for free games or scanning the offers on Amazon? How much should I limit this interaction? I started shopping around for Chromebooks. My husband said we would be spoiling them by providing them a device. I said it was essential to their success in school to have access to a fast device that could get them logged in daily to their Google Drives. We’re still discussing who’s right. But these are middle-class problems. There are families that don’t have adequate Internet access at home.
There are families who don’t have credit cards. There are families who couldn’t possibly contemplate purchasing a device per kid. There are those who are time pressed and will leave the kindergarten rhymes and songs in Google Drive, never to look at them, let alone print them. How much harder will it be for their kids to fully participate in their school life and community? I’m happy the school board is forward-thinking and has the money to facilitate online learning. I’m very happy that I don’t have to deal with duplicate forms and masses of paper coming through the door daily. But I’m hoping they have a back-up plan that includes some alternative forms communication, provision of time on school computers and lessons for parents and kids on how to use the tech wisely.

Residents want brand new Rosemount library Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Residents wanting an expanded Rosemount library on a new site will have to be patient. Four delegates attended a recent Ottawa Public Library Board meeting on Sept. 6 to ask the board to consider reallocating money set aside for a renovation of the existing library branch be put towards a brand new library in the community in the near future instead. Their request came at the same time the board approved a new study, identifying the need for new facilities in Barrhaven, Riverside South, Orléans and Kanata to accommodate projected growth in those areas. The report indicates a $34.6 million capital program to build new branches in Riverside South, Orléans and Barrhaven would remove a service gap to 2023. On top of ensuring equal service throughout the city, the board continues working
MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND
Members of the Rosemount Expansion and Development group gathered at an Ottawa Public Library board meeting on Sept. 6 to advocate for a new Rosemount library building in Hintonburg, instead of a renovation to the building. on finding a location for a new central library branch. It is expected to announce a preferred site in December. While Rosemount in west Ottawa is at the top of the board’s renewal list, with $1 million earmarked for a renovation in the 2017 budget, delegates at the meeting promised
the board they are willing to wait for a new Rosemount facility instead. But board trustee and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson wondered just how patient the community will be, noting the central library requires much of the board’s attention and the next
priority is a facility for Riverside South, which doesn’t even have a library. “We have a lot on our plates,” she said. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who spoke to the board as a delegate, promised patience and asked for the board to spend one more year pre-
paring a business case for a new facility before spending money on a renovation – one that would be too costly for too little space. With Hintonburg continuing to grow, he added the city’s population growth figures could also use a second look. “We do feel very passionately that Rosemount needs to be updated. It’s getting very small, the population of Hintonburg is rising very quickly, but we have to recognize the realities and the city’s priorities,” he said. Richard Van Loon, chair of the Rosemount Expansion and Development group, said he’d like to see a new branch in the next five years and the current library site be re-purposed. But that claim had Wilkinson asking if the group is having its cake and eating it too. She said keeping the library, located on valuable land, may not be possible for the city and any funds from its sale could help pay for a new location. Van Loon clarified that a new facility is the top priority for his group.
“Our branch is heavily used, much loved and badly overcrowded,” he said. Trustees wondered with all the work happening with the central branch, whether a business case for a new Rosemount library branch would even be possible. “We certainly couldn’t do many other projects and this would become one of our priorities in our facilities program,” said the board’s CEO Danielle McDonald. Since Rosemount is at the top of the renewal list, McDonald proposed that the renovation plan for Rosemount be presented during the budget process, if that isn’t desired, the board could vote on whether to proceed with a business case for a new facility. Wilkinson said she’d prefer to see both options come forward at budget time. But added if the area would eventually need a new facility and residents are willing to wait, the board should consider putting a renovation on hold. “If they don’t want to have it renovated right now, then I would rather do that than put a lot of money into it now and then throwing it away in five or 10 years time,” she said.

Push for Change campaign rolling toward Ottawa Man walking across Canada seeks to end youth homelessness Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Somewhere in Quebec, there’s a man pushing a shopping cart. At a walking pace, he’s closing the distance between himself and Ottawa. It’s only one stop out of many he’ll make as he attempts to cross Canada on foot, but each day he narrows the gap a little more. Joe Roberts is the man behind the Push for Change campaign, which aims to prevent, reduce and end youth homelessness, and on Sept. 29, he’ll push his cause – and his cart – into Nepean. There, Kiwanis Club of Nepean president Gord Clark says he’ll be welcomed with a 3:30 p.m. youth rally at Centrepointe Theatre organized by the Kiwanis Club. See NEPEAN, page 13

Joe Roberts, the face of the Push for Change campaign to end youth homelessness, has been pushing a shopping cart across atlantic and eastern Canada since May 1. He hopes to reach Vancouver, B.C. by Sept. 30, 2017, and later this month, he’ll stop in Ottawa.

Nepean rally to welcome Roberts Continued from page 12
“We were quite impressed by (the campaign) so we decided we’d make an effort to be the host for him when he comes,” Clark said. “They were looking for people to kind of co-ordinate things in Ottawa, so we decided we’d step in and do it.” The event is free to attend and open to the public. Attendees can pick up tickets at Centrepointe Theatre, 101 Centrepointe Dr., as they arrive that day. Roberts is expected to speak at the rally, where Bay Coun. Mark Taylor will issue a civic proclamation declaring Joe Roberts Push for Change Day in Ottawa. Between speeches, including by representatives of various local youth organizations who are raising funds for the Push for Change, Clark said singers from the Kiwanis Music Festival and Ottawa’s Spirit of the Streets youth choir will perform. Including a free barbecue after presentations, the event
is expected to run until 5:30 p.m. Kiwanis International’s mandate is to serve children, so Clark said the Push for Change campaign especially resonated with the Nepean club’s members. The fact that Roberts, who was homeless in his youth, was able to turn his life around and become a voice for vulnerable youth and the institutions that exist to serve them made the cause that much more appealing to them. “We’re very focused on the youth of the community, and he just seemed to be a kind of catalyst to get the thing going,” Clark said. “He’s a very dynamic, very inspiring person.” Roberts began his walk on May 1 in St. John’s, N.L., and hopes to reach Vancouver by Sept. 30, 2017. Accompanied by his wife Marie and a driver who follows him in an RV, Roberts plans to travel over 9,000 kilometres through 10 provinces, with visits to three territories. Everywhere he goes,
his shopping cart – a symbol of chronic homelessness in North America – goes as well. For Roberts, stemming the flow of youth homelessness is about more than just being magnanimous. Roberts, who grew up in Barrie, Ont., fell into a cycle of homelessness at a young age. By 15 years of age he had left his family home and faced housing insecurity. Not long after, he moved to Vancouver where he says he became chronically homeless and addicted to drugs and alcohol. His salvation from the streets came when he began to tackle his substance abuse in earnest. “I got clean and sober,” Roberts said. “So my entrance into homelessness and my exit out of homelessness had to do with substance abuse.” Roberts entered drug and alcohol treatment in 1991, and by 1999 had recovered and gained success as an entrepreneur in Vancouver’s tech industry.

He earned his first million dollars by age 35, and was named one of Business in Vancouver’s 40 under 40 outstanding business people and one of Maclean’s magazine’s 10 Canadians who make a difference. “I was fairly successful in the business community,” he said. “And I began speaking in the school system. Since then, I’ve spoken to about 400,000 young people.” Roberts’ mission as he makes his way from Canada’s east coast to its west coast is twofold. He hopes to raise $18 million for the Upstream Project, which tackles the
root sources of youth housing insecurity. “We know that for every young person who’s ever found themselves on the street, they were sitting in a classroom before that happened,” he said, adding that school staff are usually aware that something is wrong, but may not be equipped to fix it. “Unfortunately a lot of school boards don’t have access to adequate resources to give these kids what they need to succeed. The Upstream Project is a model that collaboratively connects these resources and identifies a young person at risk before they leave school.” But Roberts says his
most important contribution will come from sparking a conversation across Canada about youth homelessness as he travels from city to city meeting with politicians and speaking to crowds. “Front line agencies do not have a capacity for public engagement,” he said. “So our contribution, dollars aside, the most valuable thing that we’re bringing is heightened awareness.” And he said community organizations, like the Kiwanis Club of Nepean, which help bring attention to the cause, are just as instrumental in reducing youth homelessness as the campaign itself. “For us at the Push for Change, most of what we do is irrelevant without our community campaigns. If we don’t have those people to meet us it’s a lot of empty kilometres out there. Those are the people that keep my feet moving when it’s cold, when it’s rainy, when it’s snowing.” For more information about Push for Change and Roberts’ scheduled appearances in Ottawa, visit thepushforchange.com.
Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to 14

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel.

Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers bring east coast to Nepean Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Newfoundland folk music fixtures Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellas will bring a taste of the Rock to Ottawa with a performance at Centrepointe Theatre on Sept. 23. Known since the early 1980s for their catalogue of comedic and classic Atlantic Canadian folk songs, and amusing sketches featuring recurring characters, the group’s three core members – manager and founder Kevin Blackmore, Ray Johnson and Wayne Chaulk – are not strangers to Canada’s capital. Blackmore, also known as Buddy Wasisname, said the trio first performed in Ottawa in 1990, and has since developed a loyal following in the city. “Ottawa has one of the greatest audiences outside of Newfoundland for us,” Blackmore said. “It started
years ago as almost a dominantly expat audience, but it’s not that anymore. It’s spread.” They’ve also gained a fourth member – an honorary “feller” – in bass player, driver and all around handyman Byron Pardy, who tours with the group. With a discography of more than 15 albums, Blackmore said audiences at the group’s fall tour shows can expect a mix of familiar favourites and unreleased material. Their most popular songs range from nostalgic ballads reflecting on Newfoundland culture to jaunty and comedic folk songs. “We’ve got sketches, and tunes, and songs and recitations,” Blackmore said. “So we’re all over the map.” Many of the most iconic segments to arise from the group’s 30 years are its sketches, which give life to characters played by Blackmore, Chaulk and Johnson –
like the blues playing Slewed Brothers, L’il Johnny Wimple, who recites poems, and a high-strung old couple using modern technology for the first time. These segments also reflect on Newfoundland culture and human nature in general, while providing a lot of laughs. “All of these things kind of span the gamut from serious songs and traditional songs through comedic songs and novelty songs,” Blackmore said, “all the way to outright foolishness inside of sketches.” Tickets for the show, which begins at 8 p.m., are available for $43 for the general public, $39 for seniors and students and $29 for children 12 and under, and can be purchased at centrepointetheatre.ca/ en/events_tickets/September2016/Buddy_Wasisname/ index.htm.

Fireflies became a cruel game for the brothers
T
hey were everywhere. Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground ... many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them. I was once frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness. That made perfect sense to me, and
MARY COOK Memories certainly eliminated any fear I had. What didn’t make sense to me and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harmless little flies. They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what
lay in store for them. And this is when my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like

they were carrying many tiny little flashlights. Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere. I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it was time to get ready for bed, and avoided even looking out the kitchen window, just in case I saw what was going on in the backyard. Finally, it was bedtime. Mother went to the door, hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail that was used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside. They were still talking about what a great night
it had been when they had their glass of milk and cookie, and again, I put my hands over my ears to shut out what they were saying. Being the youngest, I was always ushered upstairs before anyone else, and Audrey was right behind me that night. She knew how upset I was, and tried to steer the conversation to something more pleasant. But nothing could erase what I had seen in the backyard. UPSTAIRS
Finally, the brothers came upstairs, and they had to pass through our bedroom, which was really a big hall, leading to their beds in the back room. Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be making my life miserable, came right over to where I was sitting on the side of the bed waiting for Mother to come and hear our prayers. He thrust out his arm and there were the remains of one of the murdered fireflies! Of course, it had
lost its glow. Audrey gave him a poke that sent him flying and told him to get ready for bed or he would be sorry! And right then I knew what I was going to pray for. I was going to pray that the next time the brothers went out at night to catch fireflies, they would be attacked by a batch of wasps instead and, just maybe, their arms would fall off! It took me a long time to fall asleep and when I did, I dreamed of angels breaking off little pieces of stars and sending them down to our farm in Northcote where they became fireflies. And I could see my brothers trying to catch them. But they soared way above the ground, and I dreamed I could hear the fireflies laughing. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Researchers look to improve newborn health Doctors Kumanan Wilson and Pranesh Chakraborty scan blood samples from newborns to determine the child’s gestational age. Researchers from the Ottawa Hospital, CHEO and the University of Ottawa received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to determine whether their model for predicting the gestational age of newborns will work for low-income countries.

borns in low-income countries, including Bangladesh and Zambia. “They don’t have the same type of prenatal care that we have here,” Wilson said. “This could give them the best chance to develop appropriately.” Ideally, the research would help create a test that could be done onsite so the care provider can determine the gestational age and the type of care needed. Previously, care providers would use sex and weight of a newborn to determine how premature a baby is. Wilson said there is another benefit – determining if other healthcare measures or programs are having an impact on preventing pre-term births. “We don’t know right now, so it could be a way of monitoring strategies to reduce pre-term birth,” he said. The heel prick tests are nothing new. They are already done on every child and the sample is used to test for 30 different diseases.

Local researchers have been awarded $1.2 million to help fight the leading cause of death in children under five – premature birth. According to the World Health Organization, preterm birth is one of the leading causes of death and illness in newborns around the world. With varying levels of prenatal care in developing countries, mothers don’t always know the date of conception. If the research is successful, pinprick blood tests on newborns could help developing countries identify preemies, helping doctors determine the best care for premature babies. “Our research showed how the pre-term child was metabolically different than the term child,” said Dr. Kumanan Wilson, an internal medicine specialist, senior scientist and chair in public health innovation at the Ottawa Hospital. The researchers found the blood taken from the newborns provided a “metabolic footprint” and certain markers in the blood could help them predict gestational age within about one week. It’s predicted by the fetalto-adult hemoglobin ratio, along with other chemicals found in the blood. The project is a collaboration between scientists from the Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa and CHEO with money coming from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to investigate whether the blood spot model can accurately reveal the gestational age of new-

Project receives Gates funding for the third time Continued from page 25
This isn’t the first time the team has received funds from the foundation. In 2014, they received $100,000, which started the project. It involved analyzing data from more than 400,000 newborn babies in Ontario. Preemies need specialized care, Wilson said, including modified vaccination schedules and modified developmental assessments. They are more at risk for infections, poor lung development and poor cognitive development.
Wilson is hoping the tests will provide three pieces of information – on the 30 diseases that babies are screened for, the gestational age and future outcomes. That last piece has also attracted $200,000 in funding from the Gates Foundation. “We have this blood spot at birth and we are seeing if it gives us information retrospectively on gestational age of the child, and we also want to see if it’s identifying vulnerable children who are at risk for infections and other bad
outcomes,” he said. To determine what the blood sample can tell researchers, they’ll be going back to their Ontario data, before examining samples from other countries. With the low-income countries’ model for gestational age, Wilson is hoping to have a result in the next one to two years, at which time he said the team could partner with a technology company to create something that works on site and is portable. The research team is already working with samples from Bangladesh.

Eileen Winnifred (neé McCracken)
The Lord called His earthly angel and her daughters’ adored Mom, Eileen, to take flight, heaven bound, at daybreak on Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Her daughters’ hearts are broken once more after losing their treasured Dad, Earl, just fifteen months ago. Eileen has joined Earl and their predeceased son, Lawrence, and daughter, Myrla, to share eternity together praising their Lord and Saviour. Eileen would have celebrated her 95th birthday on September 26th. She is greatly missed by daughters Marilyn (Leigh) Woof, Melody Buck and Maureen Trimble; granddaughter Cherish Trimble and grandsons Andrew, Stephen (Jennifer) and Mark (Janet) Woof; great grandchildren Lily, Graceanne, Hailey, Hannah, Hunter and Harper; as well as sisters-in-law Gladys (Rae) Ball and Helen (Stirling-predeceased) Trimble. Heartfelt thanks to Lynda Sinclair who, through the years, has been like a fifth daughter and Edith Duncan who has been a wonderful, faithful and trusted friend. Special thanks to the 3rd floor staff at West End Villa for their loving and gentle care and to her roommate, Joan, who kept watch over her. Visitation will be held at Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church, 225 McClellan Rd, Nepean, on Saturday, October 1st from 11 a.m. until time of service at 12:30 p.m. Donations to Arlington Woods Church, 225 McClellan Rd, Nepean, ON K2H 8N5 or Wesley Acres Church Camp, P.O.

36 Ottawa research projects get provincial funds Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Ottawa research is getting a boost with almost $7 million in funding from the provincial government. The money will be a boost for 36 different projects, including five at Carleton University, one at CHEO’s Research Institute, two at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and 28 at the University of Ottawa. The announcement was made at the University of Ottawa on Sept. 7. According to a press release, the projects were evaluated through a peer review process that involved Canadian and international academic and industry experts. One of the projects funded in part by the provincial government is the University of Ottawa Refugee Assistance Project, led by researcher and professor Jennifer Bond. The five-year project is
getting $100,000 from the provincial government’s Early Researcher Awards program and $50,000 in matching funds from the university. Bond said the money will help extend and deepen her research, which looks at access to justice issues that exist for refugees. The project looks at real refugee cases, including audio recordings of court proceedings, and the issues around evidence. By looking at trends in evidence, the project can find where there are deficits in the refugee system. “Then our goal is to identify those problem areas and contribute to improving or fixing the system,” Bond said. The findings are used to create policy documents, as well as to train support workers to help prepare refugees for their hearings. So far, 300 support workers in Canada have been trained through
the program. Bond’s research began five years ago at the University of Ottawa with two part-time students. Since then, more than 75 students have been involved. “They frequently tell us how meaningful this work is for them because they are doing this researchbased work and community-based work and can see how their work can impact communities in a direct and meaningful way,” Bond said. The money will help dozens more students have similar experiences, as Bond and other researchers mentor them and collaborate with them to achieve more results for refugees. Ontario’s Early Researcher Awards Program is providing $11 million to support 79 research projects at 22 different research institutions in Ontario. See FIVE, page 33

TESLA (ID# A194098)
Ottawa Humane Society is Changing Future for Cats With Launch of City’s First Ever Spay/Neuter Clinic on Wheels On Sept. 8 the Ottawa Humane Society launched the city’s first ever mobile spay/neuter clinic in an effort to stop the suffering of countless generations of homeless cats. “This is one of the first mobile clinics in Canada so we’re really excited to put Ottawa on the map in animal welfare.
We’ll finally be able to tackle the problem of homeless cats at its root in our city,” said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director. “This will change the future for Ottawa’s cats for the better.” The new Ottawa Humane Society Mobile/Spay Neuter Clinic will be providing subsidized sterilizations to pet owners in low-income neighbourhoods of Ottawa, with owners paying a nominal fee. Studies show that 6,000 surgeries a year will lead to a sharp decline in the population; the OHS expects to hit that number by the second year of the program, Roney said. The capital to purchase the clinic was provided by PetSmart Charities of Canada. The mobile clinic will receive no government funding and will operate solely through donations. Learn more at www.ottawahumane.ca/mobile. Pet of the Week: Tesla (ID# A194098) Meet Tesla, big guy with an even bigger heart who is looking for his new best friend.

For more information on Tesla 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.

DUSTY
Dusty, a Bengal/ Tabby mix, was three years young on June 5. Dusty is a little rascal who lights up the lives of anyone he meets. He loves to play with his toy mice and fuzzy balls. He has a very loud meow and he lets you know when his favourite ball is trapped under the couch. You can’t leave anything small on the table because Dusty will steal it. When he isn’t playing with (or annoying) his fur siblings, Dusty can be found happily sleeping in the sunshine waiting for his fancy feast.

ideas and concepts into a practical reality that could potentially change lives,” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said following
the press conference. He added the research could later be commercialized, leading to the creation of new jobs. Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said health care and research in his riding is akin to what the automotive industry is to Oshawa. He said the research projects receiving money from the province include advancing online security, preventing Type 2 diabetes and heart disease and more. “You’re finding innovative solutions to help improve people’s lives by making new discoveries, finding new treatments and creating new technologies,” Fraser said. Ottawa research projects include: • Five projects at Carleton University – $486,276 • One project at CHEO’s Research Institute – $140,000 • Two projects at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute – $280,000 • Twenty-eight projects at the University of Ottawa – $6,085,14

Welcome back to students and staff to our OCDSB schools. With the upcoming Western Area Pupil Accommodation Review happening this year we will see many changes being proposed for schools in Bay Ward, Zone 4. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) is undertaking a review of schools and program offerings across the District. These reviews consider grade configurations, programs, school condition, and student enrolment and excess pupil space within a “family of schools”. For example, the Western Area Review includes 4 families of schools — Bell High School, Merivale High School, Sir Robert Borden High School, Woodroffe High School and all of the elementary schools that feed into these high schools. The family of elementary schools for Woodroffe High are all located in Bay Ward and the schools in the Bell High family of schools are also located or populated by students living in Bay Ward. As part of the review process, staff must present recommendations for change. These changes can include school closures and consolidations, and changes in program offerings, changes in grade configuration and changes in school boundaries. These are difficult changes, but are often necessary because the school district has excess pupil space and will experience a reduction in funding. The cost of empty pupil spaces negatively impacts all students. Over the next six months, the school district will consult with the community on the proposed changes and the Board will make a final decision in March. The Western Area Pupil Accommodation Review is scheduled to begin in September, 2016. There are currently 3,837 excess pupil spaces in the Western Area. The proposed changes would reduce the excess pupil space by 2,074, increasing the overall utilization of schools in the area to 85%. The following 26 schools (22 elementary; 4 secondary) are involved in the Western Area Review Bell Family of Schools: An Overview Bells Corners PS Lakeview PS Bayshore PS D.A. Moodie IS
Merivale Family of Schools: An Overview Century PS Sir Winston Churchill PS Meadowlands PS Carleton Heights PS
Sir Robert Borden Family of Schools: An Overview Leslie Park PS Briargreen PS Knoxdale PS Greenbank MS Manordale PS Grant Alternative* Churchill Alternative*
Woodroffe Family of Schools: An Overview Agincourt Road PS J.H. Putman PS D. Roy Kennedy PS Pinecrest PS Regina Street PS Severn PS Woodroffe PS
*For the purposes of the Western Review, the two alternative schools are included in the Sir Robert Borden family of schools Here are the highlights of the Western Accommodation Review • Bell High School would become a grade 7–12 school; • D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School would close; • Bells Corners Public School, Lakeview Public School and Bayshore Public School would become grades K–6 schools, with Bells Corners PS offering EFI, Lakeview PS offering ENG and MFI and Bayshore PS offering ENG; • Sir Robert Borden High School would become a grade 7–12 school; • Greenbank Middle School would close; • Leslie Park Public School would close and its students would attend Briargreen Public School; • Grant Public School would close and its alternative students would attend Churchill Public School; • The Middle French Immersion boundary (currently directed to Knoxdale PS/Greenbank PS bounded byBaseline Road, The Queensway, Woodroffe Avenue and Greenbank Road would be directed to D. Roy Kennedy PS and would become part of the Woodroffe Family of Schools; • Merivale High School would become a grade 7–12 school and (upon certification) would offer the West End International Baccalaureate Program; • Century Public School would close and its students would attend either Carleton Heights Public School or Meadowlands Public School depending on place of residence; • Regina Street Public School would close and its students would attend D. Roy Kennedy Public School; • JH Putman Public School would close and its English students would attend Pinecrest Public School and its Early French Immersion program students would attend either Agincourt Road Public School or Woodroffe Avenue Public School, depending on place of residence; • Agincourt Road Public School and Woodroffe Public School would become K–8 schools; and • Severn Avenue Public School would become an EFI centre for immersion students, the Woodroffe Elementary School French Immersion boundary would be changed and the current Severn ENG students would attend Pinecrest Public School or D. Roy Kennedy Public School depending on place of residence. Here are the key dates:
