Chaudière rezoning OKed despite critics’ pleas Dozens line up to urge planning committee protect group of Ottawa River islands as sacred indigenous site Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - After hearing positive feedback about Windmill’s proposed Chaudière and Albert islands redevelopment, members of the planning committee were caught off guard by dozens of people who showed up to oppose the project during an Oct. 2 planning committee meeting.

Although Windmill’s Jeff Westiende said the developer’s consultations, which attracted more than 1,000 people, didn’t receive any major opposition from groups including the Algonquins of Ontario, 47 delegates signed up to speak in opposition of the major redevelopment. See COMPETING, page 20

Steph Willems/Metroland

Sherry Nigro, Ottawa Public Health’s manager of health promotion and disease prevention, speaks to an audience at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum on Oct. 1. A recent study found that the price of healthy food has risen 10 percent in the past year.

News - Low-income Ottawa residents are finding it harder than ever to feed their families, according to the findings of an Ottawa Public Health study. The 2014 Nutritious Food Basket survey shows that the cost of putting nutritious meals on the table has increased by 10 per cent in the past year. The findings were released by OPH health promotion manager Sherry Nigro at a food security event held Oct. 1 at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The rapid rise in food costs, couple with other inflationary pressures, is squeezing individuals and families to the breaking point, said Nigro. “It means that families are paying an extra $80 a year for food,” said Nigro. “If you have to pay for your rent, and pay for your food, then you’re already in a deficit … Many, many families in Ottawa are struggling to make ends meet, and what do you think are going to be the priorities? A house over your head, and the ability to pay for heat. So, where will you squeeze? You’ll squeeze by eating less, or by going to a food bank.”

The study is performed by visiting 10 different grocery stores across the city and recording the price of 67 different items, allowing for year-overyear comparisons. Between 2013 and 2014, the cost of feeding a family of four rose from $789 to $869. For a family supported by Ontario Works or ODSP, this means that 40 per cent of their monthly income would need to be spent on food; however, the high cost of rent (65 per cent of a budget) means families often have to choose to go without heat, electricity, food, or any number of living expenses to make ends meet. Each month, 48,000 people in Ottawa receive emergency food from local food banks. Nigro estimates that one in 10 Ottawa households is food insecure. “Where I want to end this is for all of us, as individuals, as professionals, as advocates, and as community members, to think what this means for us,” said Nigro. “It’s about knowing what resources are out there, it’s about being vigilant and thinking about this through the various lenses … I think each one of us, when we walk out of here, should be thinking of what those implications will be.”

Correction Re: “Barring treatment for the mentally ill,” Oct. 2 edition of Ottawa West News.

MarketMobile nets $125,000 grant to boost food security Moveable food market chosen by Community Foundation of Ottawa Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - A mobile food market that offers low-income neighbourhoods a chance to purchase healthy food at a reasonable price just got a big financial boost. MarketMobile, an initiative of the Poverty and Hunger Working Group, was selected as the recipient of a $125,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Ottawa – a non-profit organization that finds funding for community causes. An entrant in the city’s inaugural New Leaf Community Challenge, MarketMobile was chosen from a group of three finalists, all of which fielded ideas aimed at boosting the city’s food security. The announcement was made at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum on Oct. 1. Marco Pagani, president and chief executive of the Commu-

nity Foundation, congratulated the entries in the challenge for their ideas. “I have to say, the pitches I heard today were as good as anything I’ve ever heard,” said Pagani. “It was a tough decision to choose among so many innovative, promising ideas in tackling this vital issue in our community. If there was ever a time that our community needed to pay attention to this issue, it is now.” Pagani called attention to a concurrently-released Ottawa Public Health report that showed a 10 per cent rise in food costs in the past year. “It paints a very bleak picture of the situation here in Ottawa,” said Pagani. “The findings of confirm our worst fears and reinforce our decision to tackle this issue … We have every reason to hope that the results of the challenge can help bring some substantive, needle-moving change.” MarketMobile built on the

promise of Ottawa’s Good Food Markets, which set up temporary, affordable markets in areas of the city with little access to healthy food. They did this by partnering with wholesalers, including 10 Loblaws locations, to bring that food into select communities using a vehicle – in this case, a leased OC Transpo bus. The grant will allow MarketMobile to expand its operation to new sites and begin yearround operations with a purpose-owned truck and trailer. “It allows us to plan for the future - our budget phase only goes to Dec. 20, so our weeks are literally number,” said coordinator Shannon Szkurhan. “This grant allows us to move forward. We’ll now be able to purchase our own vehicle, customize the vehicle, and we’ll be able to carry more produce and different types of items on the MarketMobile. Right now, we carry an average of between 30 and 35 dif-

Staff from Ottawa Public Health and a members from a coalition of local community health and re-

source centres also assist. Food is sourced mainly through the Rideau Street Loblaws, as well as other locations by way of their dietician program. A local wholesaler with direct contact with farmers was also brought on board. “We’re always trying to get the best quality at the best value,” said Szkurhan, adding that the food they sell from the bus is a third of the cost of the same

product at a supermarket. During the pilot project, the bus visited two communities each Saturday – Morrison Gardens, Caldwell, Vars and Hunt Club East. With the grant, MarketMobile hopes to add an additional day of service and four more communities to their list, with the possibility of serving even more locations. “The sky’s the limit,” said Szjkurhan.

Kitchissippi candidates spar in debates Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

@CouncillorMcRae

Community - Five candidates running for Kitchissippi Ward in the Oct. 27 municipal election were put on the hot seat at an Oct. 6 debate held at St. George’s Parish in Wellington Village. An earlier debate was held Oct. 1 at St. Stephen’s Church in the Civic Hospital neighbourhood. Incumbent Katherine Hobbs was joined by Jeff Leiper, Michelle Reimer, Ellen Lougheed and Larry Wasslen, who was absent for the Oct. 1 debate. Asking prepared questions were members of the organizing bodies – the Hintonburg Community Association and Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association on Oct. 1, and the Westboro, Wellington West, McKellar Park and HamptonIona community groups on Oct. 6. Not surprisingly, the incumbent ran on her record at both debates, while her opponents promised to challenge the status quo. The hosting groups had

a prepared list of questions to ask. The Westboro Community Association asked what the number one thing the candidates would do, if elected, to improve the ward. Leiper said he would like to ensure the community’s voice is heard across the spectrum of issues they faced. “Whether it is traffic calming, how we allocate the resources that are available to us for our parks, whether it is how the city defends its zoning when it comes to development applications, I’d like to say that the councillor and city government have heard what the residents want,” said Leiper. Wasslen said that having meaningful consultation with the community on important decisions was key, in particular issues such as poverty and affordable housing. “This is where direct community input is accessible, and we can measure that,” he said. Hobbs said her goal was to ensure the light rail system is completed and that the second

phase gets underway with mitigation measures in place. “This is a very expensive project, and it is a very impactful project on different parts of our area,” said Hobbs. “It’s important to me that we have a Cleary station so that we can get people on the train, and that we do an associated community design plan in that area to make sure we have everyone’s input as to what will happen there as a result of having a transit station there.” Reimer said that development topped her list. “The development has to start following the rules, and a clear, measurable goal would be that we stop accepting applications that surpass the actual community design plan and Official Plan,” said Reimer. “That would be an amazing goal in four years. Second … it’s imperative that we look at our road systems today. They’re not liveable, they’re not safe, and when I think of Parkdale and Island Park, they’re not very useable.” Lougheed said her goals

were more fundamental, referring to condo development replacing low and middle income residences. “Where are these people going to move to if we continue to take down their housing?” she asked. “I would like to see these (complaints) addressed.” The Wellington Village Community Association mentioned that many traffic calming initiatives in their area have encountered bureaucratic roadblocks. What would the candidates do, they asked, to champion trafficcalming efforts? Wasslen said communication is ultimately the responsibility of the councillor on such issues. “This is the job of the city councillor – to make sure these concerns are met promptly and efficiently,” he said. Hobbs said traffic has been “a huge thing” in that neighbourhood and said she was supportive of the Safer Roads Ottawa program, adding that funds from that program have already been used to put in place traffic infrastructure projects on residential streets. “One of the things that traffic is committed to do… is work on making this a 40 km/h test zone, which means a lot of infrastructure in this area, and (installed) sooner than doing an overall traffic study,” Hobbs said. Reimer said the ward doesn’t need another study or a test zone for a 40 km/h limit. She said she wants to see all school zones become 30 km/h, with 40 km/h on residential streets. Lougheed, who recovered after being hit by a vehicle in her wheelchair on Wellington Street West seven years ago, said road safety is key. “When I get to city hall, this is one of the issues I want to impress,” she said. “I want to put it in the bureaucrats’ face, in real words, what people want in terms of street safety … I will truly represent what is needed to calm traffic in Kitchissippi.” Leiper said the most successful strategy he’s seen to get change on traffic was community advocacy. “It has to be relentless and it has to be constant,” he said. “My promise to you is to amplify your voices at city hall, to be on your side, and to keep advocating on behalf of the changes we need.” See TRANSIT, page 5

R0012933931

Transit, development takes centre stage Continued from page 4

The McKellar Park Community Association said it supported transit growth for inner city and suburban residents, but called attention to the western leg of the city’s LRT. How would the candidates ensure the green space along that route is preserved? Hobbs answered said that link is currently undergoing a provincial environmental assessment, and the city will still need to do more negotiating with the National Capital Commission. Reimer said she couldn’t recall the western LRT line going through council, adding that the city needs to work more closely with community partners to ensure the green space is preserved. “What I’m hearing at the door … is what happened to Carling?” she asked. “I’ve met with the Underground Carling executive group, and they’re succumbed to the fact this is happening – the western LRT, and I’ve also talked to residents who live on Carling and

those who would use LRT, and they ask how did that decision come about?” Lougheed said she’s heard from many people on the street question why the LRT is going the route it is. “I myself would prefer to see the LRT … put out near Carling, because it’s a denser population, more people will be able to use it – there’s shopping centres and hospitals – all the things people want to access easily,” she said. Leiper said he sensed a consensus that LRT is essential to the future sustainability of the city. “Everyone knows my public commitment is that the LRT abides by the conditions set out by the NCC,” he said. “Let’s make that commitment now and get on with the job. If there is no Plan B and we cannot abide by the NCC’s conditions, then let’s make sure that all of the options are fully explored.” Wasslen said that the Carling option was “the way things should be going,” adding that he wasn’t sure if that the op-

tion was still on the table. A question from the Hampton-Iona Community Group concerned a lack of community consultation on development issues, referencing the Ashcroft convent development. How would the candidates ensure this didn’t happen again? Reimer said constant communication and collaboration was essential. “Certainly, you can take leadership as a councillor, you can take leadership as a developer, and as the project manager on such work sites, and inform, respectfully, the citizens,” she said. Lougheed called Ashcroft “a thorn in my side”, recalling an episode where the construction process at their convent site led to a lack of accessibility on the sidewalk. Leiper said that wasn’t the only example of this, and blamed “a lack of effective leadership on the part of the councillor.” “The pressure, advocacy and amplification at city hall of resident’s voices” is needed,

area during construction. Hobbs said she asked at the time of the LRT vote that a safety and security audit be held, and went door-to-door afterwards to dispense information. Community meetings were held with high-ranking officials related to the project seven times, she said. “That is access that is very rare on most projects in the city,” said Hobbs. Reimer stressed the need for communication and said that consultation following the passing of a project “is too late.” “You want people to own the change,” she said. “You want them to be part of shaping that change.” Lougheed said she has a number of issues with the way the city performs consultations, noting a distinct lack of diversity of lifestyles at public meetings like the one for LRT bus diversion. “What I am concerned about is how people are going to cross Scott Street,” said Lougheed, referencing the higher traffic that will come from the diversions. Older people, those with disabilities or strollers will be put in danger, she said.

rather than developers’ solutions, said Leiper, who again promised to be the community’s “advocate.” Wasslen said “how do you train a developer to respect the community?” “Clearly, this falls to the city councillor to stand up and make sure they understand that the community comes first, and that they have to respond to the community’s need,” he said. “This has to be done ahead of time.” Hobbs said that Ashcroft pre-dated her time on council, but she’s had to deal with the fallout. Meetings need to happen up front when an application comes in, she said, followed by one for the site plan. At the Oct. 1 debate, a question posed by Peter Eady, vicepresident of the CHNA, asked what the candidates would deal with the contentious Civic Hospital parking garage plan that is currently on hold. Leiper responded by saying he’s heard a lot of community feedback on the issue. “I don’t believe that the hospital cannot accommodate this

parking on its own lot,” said Leiper. “I think that using the city property is the simplest, most expedient, cheapest option.” Hobbs called the current parking lot “a bit of a travesty,” in that it is reserved for parkland yet contains a surface lot. She said she wants it to be a park, and added she feels the application won’t be re-activated. Reimer said that traffic in the area is already bad. She said that while there are added pressures on the hospital due to the country’s aging population, the end point of the lease between the city and hospital should still stand. Lougheed said she agreed with Reimer than the community can work out a solution to the garage issue. “I don’t like to work alone on decisions,” said Lougheed. “I’m willing to consult with you to devise certain realistic options for handling the parking situations.” On the issue of the bus diversions resulting from the construction of the LRT line, the candidates were asked how they would improve the communication to residents about changes in the Scott/Albert

Community - In a municipal election where dozens are vying for councillor spots, it’s almost inevitable that accusations of dirty tricks would start to fly. Fly they have, in Kitchissippi Ward. Candidate Jeff Leiper was put on the defensive at an Oct. 1 debate after residents of the ward with Michelle Reimer lawn signs said they received harassing letters, while incumbent Katherine Hobbs said her supporters were approached by people who berated them for their voting choice. The issue came up at the debate, held at St. Stephen’s Church. Dennis Van Staalduinen - a member of Leiper’s campaign team – asked Hobbs during the open question and answer session, “What does developer funding add to the (democratic) process? Because if you’re accepting developer funding, presumably there’s a reason, and that it contributes somehow to the democratic process.” Leiper, who has publicly declared he wouldn’t accept such donations, has raised the donation issue several times over the course of the campaign, includ-

ing on social media. Hobbs said earlier comments by her (at a debate on Sept. 16) regarding the issue weren’t just to dispel rumours, but to address what she felt was “a definite campaign” by a competitor to smear her. “I was hearing back from people who said ‘I received a call from his team’, ‘I received a visit when I put your sign on my lawn,’” said Hobbs. “Someone I know received two visits from Mr. Leiper’s campaign team, from Mr. Leiper himself. ... I think relegating this (election) to optics and perceptions and issues that are not at all to do with what has happened in this ward or what will happen in this ward, is doing a disservice.” Hobbs said all donations from all businesses in the city “are part of the democratic process today.” “If it’s changed tomorrow, that’s fine,” she said. “I don’t see that telling anybody that one particular business is bad and another is good is appropriate in this city.” Candidate Michelle Reimer had stated online and through emails that on the Monday, Sept. 29, she received word that supporters who had acquired lawn signs received letters “challenging their choice to

publicly endorse my campaign using a lawn sign,” adding that the letter urged them to vote for another candidate “for fear that ‘vote-splitting’ will lead to the re-election of our current councillor.” Reimer slammed the letters as being “fundamentally antidemocratic.” Leiper responded to the allegations by saying, “I absolutely want to be clear - no one in my campaign team has made an assertion that there is anything improper, illegal about accepting campaign donations from developers. No one in my campaign team is whispering to people in social media. No one in my campaign team is making phone calls to people.” “If you receive a call from someone that says ‘I’m a Jeff Leiper supporter and here’s what’s what,’ and it’s not me, don’t believe them – call my office,” he said. “We’re playing some hard politics in this election, absolutely. And every challenge we’ve made to Katherine is above board, it’s transparent, we’ve used our real names. We’re not going to descend into this kind of smear campaign.” Leiper finished by insisting the letters to Reimer supporters did not originate from his campaign.

The nuanced feminist

ast month British actor Emma Watson delivered a profound speech to the United Nations as part of the HeforShe campaign. In it she pushed for all – men and women, alike – to do more to promote and practice gender equality. It was moving and tear-inducing, and best of all, it was a call to action that touched people on a number of levels. The video went viral on social media. The next day a threat to release nude photos of the actress also went viral, apparently to attempt to discredit her as a feminist because, you know, she may have used her body as a sexual marketing tool in the past. The threat turned out to be a hoax, but the damage was done. Fast forward a few weeks and Chanel’s 81-year-old creative director Karl Lagerfeld shocked audiences in Paris,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse with a grand runway finale designed to resemble a feminist protest. He got slammed for attempting to capitalize on the popularity of feminism to sell dresses modelled by thin, mostly white models carrying placards. Since Lagerfeld also happens to be a guy who called British pop singer Adele fat one time, he’s been labelled a hypocrite on a number of levels. What’s disturbing about people critiquing and defending on all sides is that it gives the impression that feminism is single-faceted. The threat to Watson could only be seen as offensive if one believes

nude pictures are antifeminist. The criticism of Lagerfeld suggests that old, white men who sell dresses can’t be feminists unless they embrace every aspect of the cause. All of it has annoyed me on a very personal level. The thing is I am a feminist, in that I believe in gender equality. But I’m not a perfect one, not by a long shot. Over the last nine years as a family lifestyle columnist, I’ve used my soapbox to rant about a lot of things. I’ve written about childcare policies and breastfeeding. I’ve

even weighed into the abortion debate once or twice. On some issues, I have maintained my opinions – for example, that women should not feel pressured to breastfeed and that formula as a valid choice for women feeding infants. On others, I have completely changed my mind. Seven years ago I believed with all my being that universal childcare was neither economically feasible nor desirable. Today, I believe the opposite, that universally accessible and subsidized childcare is the only way to give mothers a real choice to participate in the paid workforce or not. On abortion, my Christian values and my experience as a mother who has borne three children clash with the apparently feminist ideal – that carte blanche support for abortion is a foregone conclusion.

“There are many different ways that people practice feminism,” artist and feminist Kim Katrin Milan told CBC Radio’s The Current in early October. She then went onto slam Lagerfeld’s faux feminist protest. Essentially, said Milan, It’s not okay for Lagerfeld promote feminism because, in Milan’s opinion, he represents an industry run by men that tells women how to present their bodies to the world. Okay, but that just makes it impossible for Lagerfeld to be a feminist. And maybe it makes it impossible for anyone wearing Chanel to be a real feminist. And yet, aren’t we trying to get these old white guys and young girls into the cause? Canadian feminist Judy Rebick, who was quoted on the same episode of The Current kind of affirmed the latter point. “I’ve spent last 20 years trying to explain that feminism means you support equality for women and it had a bad rap for so many

years.” By making feminism part of haute couture, Rubick added, Lagerfeld “makes it cool” and therefore okay for college girls or any man or woman reading a fashion magazine to see that feminism is a mainstream idea rather than some kind of radical fringe movement. Milan later noted in the same interview that “feminism is about women being able to access all those things we’ve worked our entire lives for.” That’s true, so maybe it would be good for feminist activists like Milan to give the rest of us a chance to define what it is that we are working for, what gender equality actually looks like, and appreciate our differences of opinion. The hardest part about an ideology is living up to its ideal. If you want people to be feminists, don’t make it impossible to be a good one. If we really want to push ahead on gender equality, it’s time to make room for the nuanced feminist.

More jails not the answer

usiness is booming in Ontario jails, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of expansion nobody wants. This week, we published the final instalment of our four-part series about recidivism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when previously convicted criminals reoffend - in Ontario and the state of our correctional system. The numbers tell a disturbing tale. We discovered an odd statistical trend: despite the fact that Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime rate has been steadily declining over the past decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a level not seen since 1969 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the number of federally incarcerated offenders hit a record high in 2013. Overcrowding is the new reality in Canadian prisons, with double-bunking prisoners required in 20 per cent of all federal prison cells. Also on the upswing is the rising cost of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison system: the annual price per offender is $200,000 for females and $117,000 for males in federal penitentiaries. Meanwhile, the cost of community supervision of offenders hovers around $35,000 per year. Critics of the federal government say we are following the failed example of the United States that started

during the 1980s, with a massive push for prison construction and tougher sentences. Three decades later, our southern neighbours, a country with 700 of every 100,000 people incarcerated, are reconsidering their strategy and are now starting to spend more tax dollars on rehabilitation and support programs instead of prison construction. We need to follow their example. With so many critics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both academic and political â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calling into question the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough-on-crime approach, with the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentences, what is the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale for its push for prison construction? During the past two months we repeatedly called and emailed the office of Steven Blaney, the federal minister for Public Safety, with no response. If the Conservatives insist on pushing forward with an irrational correctional strategy, one that will eventually cost us dearly financially, perhaps the only convincing argument must be delivered at the ballot box.

They are happy in cities, where it is warm and dry and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do a lot of lugging of canned goods, empty bottles, pillowcases and broken badminton racquets.

They take this wariness to the Weather Network, early, checking the monthly forecast, then the 14-day forecast, then the weekly, hoping for numbers in the double digits but fearing the single. Somewhere in the back of their minds might be the perverse thought that a snowstorm or freezing rain in the forecast might enable the trip to be cancelled. Then the weekend could be spent in urban warmth and the cottage would somehow close itself.

What if baseball season started at a different time each year? What if hockey games had two periods instead of three some days? What if some pianos had 87 keys? What if the alphabet started in the middle occasionally? Chaos, right?

the weekend without once putting the parka on. Heaven knows, it has happened before. Or at least someone says it has. And when it happens this time, all those people who stayed in the city will be sorry. Yup.

Breaking the chains of recidivism Local community rehabilitative programs and services pick up the slack for federal government

results, excessive use of incarceration has enormous cost implications.” If mandatory minimums have no affect on recidivism, the federal government must find a way to justify these by evaluating their affects on crime, said Irwin Waller, a professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa. “We actually know that it doesn’t from studies in other countries, which really means the U.S.,” he said. Yasir Naqvi, Ontario minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said the provincial government’s focus is crime prevention. “The federal government seems to have a different focus than that,” Naqvi said. “We have raised those concerns with the federal government. We believe that they should offset the cost of measures like mandatory minimum sentencing … because that is going to have a detrimental impact not only on the provinces, but also on the society at large as well.” Federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney did not respond to numerous requests for comment by Metroland East.

Metroland East Special Report

staggering number of Ontario convicts – more than half - will go on to reoffend within two years of completing their sentence. With lack of supports, employment and rehabilitation opportunities, experts say many offenders fall through the cracks and are sent back behind bars. The government is failing on the public safety file, according to Wayne Easter, the Liberal public safety critic. In Canada the rate of recidivism is estimated at 44 per cent, according to a study prepared for the Solictor General of Canada on federal offenders released between April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995. In comparison, the national rate of recidivism across the United States, a country known for its high rate of incarceration, is 43 per cent. “They have been working on this issue (of recidivism) through the Justice Centre (in the United States) and they are going in the opposite direction from the Harper government because they know the tough-on-crime approach doesn’t work,” Easter said. With the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentencing, prisons across Canada are bracing themselves for an influx of inmates. During the past decade, federal prisons have seen a population increase of 24 per cent, moving from 12,413 inmates in 2003 to 15,400 inmates in 2014. Meanwhile, the number of prisoners incarcerated in provincial and territorial jails saw a 13.1 per cent jump over the same time period. But that doesn’t mean crime is up, according to a 2014 report by Statistics Canada. The traditional crime rate fell by eight per cent, continuing a trend that started in the early 1990s and this year reached its lowest level since 1969, according to the StatCan report. Critics tie the increase in the num-

Prison time has a negative affect on reducing criminal behaviour according to a review of 50 studies between 1958 and 1999 by a team of academics from the University of New Brunswick and the University of Cincinnati. Excessive use of incarceration also has ‘enormous cost implications’ warns the study.

Part 4: A prescription to reduce the number of repeat offenders in Canada’s jails as well as the rate of incarceration. ber of incarcerated offenders to the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation, which introduced stiffer sentencing rules and mandatory minimums. “The principle rationale for mandatory minimums is the belief that length of time in prison acts as a deterrent for future recidivism,” states a 1999 report by Paul Gendreau and Claire Goggin, with the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies at the University of New Brunswick and Francis Cullen, from

the department of criminal justice at the University of Cincinnati. But a review of 50 studies dating back to 1958 showed that jail time resulted in a slight increase in the rate of criminal reoffence and that there was a tendency for low-risk offenders to be “more negatively affected” by serving time in prison. “Prisons should not be used, with the expectation of reducing criminal behaviour,” concluded the report’s authors. “On the basis of the present

Expenditures at federal jails have ballooned from $1.58 billion to $2.72 billion from 2002 to 2012 and the cost of incarceration has gone up by 47.8 per cent in that time, according to a 2013 report by Public Safety Canada. Last year, the federal government asked Correctional Service Canada to cut 10 per cent of its operating budget. “So they began to look at ways that they could maintain their core operations but still save money,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “What that’s translated into is the erosion of some services for offenders and the cancellation of some programs.” Over the years, the correctional department has eliminated prison farms, reduced access to prison libraries and cut funding to buy library materials. Overcrowding in Canadian jails means less space for programming, and double bunking is now the norm, Easter said. REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS

The pressure placed on the correctional system is also affecting family members of offenders. An Ottawa support group for women with relatives serving time in

prison is advocating for funding proven rehabilitative programs, changes to Canada’s remand system as well as more diversion programs, such as a mental-health or drug court and restorative justice. “We want to put practices in place, evidence-based practices in our corrections system that will reduce recidivism, because none of us want to go through it again,” said one of two founding members of Mothers Offering Mutual Support or MOMS. Eventually, most offenders will be released from prison, the Ottawabased mother said, who asked to remain anonymous. “This person could be your neighbour. How do you want this person to come out? Do you want them coming out having good insight as to what led to their offence, really good insight and for them to have strategies to ensure it’s never going to happen again?” she asked. “(Correctional Service Canada) has a whole list of excellent rehabilitative programs, but their funding has been cut and some of the programs too have been kind of blended together as a one-size-fits-all program.” Meanwhile, the rate at which offenders are granted parole continues to set new historic lows and a greater percentage of offenders are spending more of their sentences behind bars in increasingly volatile and hardening conditions of confinement. The programming that does exist often faces precarious funding situations and dwindling resources. If prison programs are cut, that moves some of the burden to community-based programming, though dollars are stretched just as thin there. Impending federal cuts to Circles of Support and Accountability, a community based program that helps high-risk sex offenders reintegrate after prison is “nonsensical,” said Randall Garrison, the federal public safety critic for the New Democratic Party. “That is probably the most single most effective program in probably the whole prison system.” Public Safety Canada acknowledges the program’s success, but in the House of Commons, Minister Steven Blaney has said the Circles program is not in the ministry’s mandate, said Garrison, who doesn’t buy this, and has told Blaney, “‘Your mandate is not punishment, it’s corrections. It’s called corrections. It’s called rehabilitation.’” Continued on page 10

Metroland East Special Report

What they said “There needs to be a national mental-health strategy ... Prison is the wrong place to deal with these types of things.” WAYNE EASTER, LIBERAL PUBLIC SAFETY CRITIC

Easter also points to evidence that shows rehabilitation programs have a positive impact on an individual’s ability to rebuild their life. But the supports need to be there. “There needs to be a national mental-health strategy,” he said. “Sixty per cent of the country’s inmates have mental-health issues and 70 per cent have addictions issues. Prison is the wrong place to deal with these types of things. Far better than (going) cold turkey is support programs; there’s a chance of making it then. Beyond that, simply making it a condition of parole means that when someone falls off the wagon it’s a violation of their sentence. What works best isn’t punishment, but maybe access to a 30-day facility.” One Ottawa halfway house for federal offenders looks to blend treatment and reintegration, and is designed to help treat the root causes of substance abuse and teach offenders new coping skills. “Guys who come to Decision House don’t go back to jail,” said Louis Berubé, executive director of Maison Decision House, which has 14 beds that are always in demand. Housing and employment help are also available to offenders, many of whom have been in and out of the system. The organization’s annual budget is a little more than $500,000 – a lot less than the cost of keeping all “his guys” in jail, Berubé said. John Howard Society of Ottawa staff visit the halfway house to offer employment skills training and provide leads on jobs. The organization deals with clients who have complex needs, but the key areas of concentration need to be safe, 10

affordable housing and employment. The society has a business stream that trains offenders how to do asbestos abatement work and then helps place them in jobs, said Don Waddell, executive director. One offender who took advantage of the program, who asked to remain anonymous, said after he took the course, he realized afterwards he wouldn’t be able to join the worker’s union. Instead, he was paid less for the same work, and given worse tasks. The offender said he and his coworkers were treated like secondclass citizens. “I’m treated differently,’ I’m looked at differently,” he said. “We’re given the dirtier jobs and frowned upon. No matter what inroads I take, I’m always seen as a criminal.” Though work is being done in the community to curb recidivism, there continues to be a push for change within jails. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union Corrections Division published a paper in April 2014 titled New Directions: A blueprint for reforming the province of Ontario’s prison system to protect the public, reduce costs and rehabilitate inmates. The report provides a variety of short-term and long-term fixes to reform the corrections system. It suggests building temporary housing structures within existing facilities in order to renovate space to expand and add specialized units for severally physically and mentally ill inmates. “We have an acute crisis with acute mental-health issues,” said Garrison, noting that between 40 and 80 per cent of people admitted to prisons have a mental illness or an addiction. “In terms of acute problems, we don’t have adequate facilities.” Though the federal government

Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 9, 2014

says Canada’s prison population is not increasing as projected, Garrison said it is still growing by about 1,000 inmates per year. “So you still have to provide the physical facilities for that and so a lot of resources are going to that and we don’t have the increased programming money to keep up with that,” he said. “And so wait lists for treatment are going to get longer and therefore we’re going to get more people who are released who still have mentalillness problems, addiction problems (and) … who are more likely to reoffend because they haven’t had these basic underlying social causes of crime dealt with.” There are programs in place, often run by non-for-profit organizations, which help fill the gap in services for repeat offenders. Despite a lack of funding, some of the people they have helped have been able to get a fresh start or successfully begin reintegration in society. Dan Parlow is one of those people who is breaking the cycle of recidivism, after being in and out of jail since he was convicted of armed robbery when he was 16. Now, at 49, he’s been out of jail for the longest stretch since that first conviction, and says he knew he had to stay clean after he was paroled in July 2013, otherwise he’d end up back behind bars. Enter the LifeHouse Residential program, a five-month, substanceabuse residential program run by the Ottawa Mission. Parlow completed the program, then entered secondstage housing and is now moving to an apartment in Blackburn Hamlet. He also started a degree in criminology at Carleton University. He was able to attend school thanks to financial support from the Mission’s donors. At the close of the first semester,

”

Parlow had straight As and was hired to research Gladue reports for a consultant firm called IndinGENIUS. The reports are used in the Gladue court system, a special court for Aboriginal offenders – who are extremely overrepresented in the Canadian corrections system, according to statistics from Correctional Services Canada. It’s a job he says he relishes because he believes it’s particularly important for aboriginals who are involved in the criminal justice system to have the supports they need. DIVERSION PROGRAMS

There is a glimmer of hope for a fresh start if an offender can enter a diversion program, such as the precharge diversion program run by the Salvation Army, which works with first-time offenders. The typical offence is theft under $5,000. Clients are directed to the program while they are waiting for their first court appearance, and are often referred by Ottawa police. “Our office is in the court house and I typically see 30 to 50 clients per month,” said caseworker Sheena Lalonde. When assessing a referral, Lalonde said she often looks at the whole picture. “A single mom with two kids on Ontario Works is a totally different case than say, a teen stealing a stereo,” Lalonde said, adding she may assign the mother to community service hours at the food bank, so she can serve her sentence and connect with the organization for resources to prevent repeat offending. Lalonde said she looks for the root cause of an offender’s crime. “If someone is stealing to pay for a gambling addiction, for example, it’s

levels that provide public safety and hopefully can save taxpayers money in the long run.””

important to treat the original issue,” she said. “Scrubbing toilets isn’t really going to help them.” Lalonde said just as much time is spent on connecting clients with resources like Ontario Works or the Low Income Energy Assistance program to help pay utility costs. The Intermittent Community Work Program offered by the Salvation Army is similar to pre-charge diversion, but instead deals with clients who have already been sentenced. It helps them remain in the community and do service rather than lose their jobs by going to prison. The program receives some funding from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Most clients are up on fraud or minor theft charges, and sentences vary, from two weeks to a year of weekends. “It’s expensive to keep people in jail and this way people get to keep their jobs,” said program head April Rutherford, who deals with about 30 clients each month. Offenders often work at the Salvation Army thrift store and the Shepherds of Good Hope, a charity that helps the poor and homeless in Ottawa. Programs such as pre-charge diversion and intermittent community work would have been a welcome solution for Parlow when he first came into contact with the law. Though he says he is now turning his life around, he can’t help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t entered prison, which he refers to as a “University of Crime,” at a young age. “The system can be very harsh,” Parlow said. “Sometimes it can be a tough cycle to break on your own.” By Jennifer McIntosh, Brier Dodge, Blair Edwards including files from Erin McCracken.

News - Park-hungry Glebe residents are eyeing a small patch of green space near the local fire hall. The Glebe Community Association’s parks committee, which is constantly trying to find creative ways to add more parkland to the neighbourhood, would like to re-designate a 30 by 50 metre green space west of the Fifth Avenue Fire Hall at the southeast corner of O’Connor Street and Fifth. Parks committee member Peter Mackenzie proposed a motion to formally designate the space at the association’s Sept. 23. “We are tight with community space you can use to go out with your child, or in my case, a grandchild,” Mackenzie said. According to the committee, that space was historically part of Lansdowne Park, and now sits undesignated. Even though the committee has no set plans -- whether it should have playground structures or benches -Mackenzie said the group would like to designate is as parkland sooner rather than later. “This is nothing complicated, nothing specific,” Mackenzie said. “We can figure out (the details) after. I don’t think we want to fill in the blank until we get it designated.” Mackenzie added that by requesting and receiving designation it will protect the space and give residents time to fully decide what they want to do with the space. The community association voted in favour of the motion and intends to formally as the city to designate the space.

Maguire courts conservative vote in second bid for mayor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

0904.R0012873375

News - Mike Maguire is styling himself as the conservative alternative to Mayor Jim Watson in the municipal election, but people might not know that he’s a “rabid environmentalist.” The second-time mayoral candidate has “secretly” converted his Kars property into something of a sanctuary for snapping turtles and bats. But he has no love for coyotes, which he says are an invasive species. “You can’t get rid of them fast enough for me,” Maguire said. The 53-year-old has emerged as the only candidate of eight challengers for mayor who has launched a thorough campaign featuring a platform, website and other traditional methods of reaching out to voters. He will surely better his result from the last election, when he placed fifth with around 6,600 votes (2.4 per

cent) in a mayoral race that saw Watson unseat former mayor Larry O’Brien, with former regional chairman Andy Haydon, and former Capital Ward councillor Clive Doucet also vying for the top job. This time around, the debate revolves around Maguire and Watson. Although another candidate, Anwar Syed, has made appearances at debates, he recently sent a message to a number of council candidates whose platforms he agrees with asking them to carry a message to vote for him or Maguire for mayor. Maguire said his runs for the mayor’s seat are his first major forays into the front lines of politics, but he has been active behind the scenes for some time. From supporting township council candidates in Rideau, Osgoode and West Carleton to working on campaigns for local conservatives Lisa McLeod and Pierre Polievre, Maguire said he has been involved in many campaigns.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 9, 2014

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Mike Maguire is emerging as the main competition to incumbent Jim Watson in the Ottawa mayoral race. Aside from his mayoral runs, he’s had two campaigns of his own: an unsuccessful bid for school-board trustee in the 1990s and a successful campaign to garner the Canadian Alliance nomination in 2006 – just before the party merged with the Progressive Conservatives, nullifying his nomination. Maguire also cited his community activism, mainly in

rural areas. A member of the Kinsmen, Maguire has been involved in city advisory committees on the rural response to the Official Plan amendment in 2006 and in an Ontario Municipal Board appeal on the urban boundary review. His day job is as a vice president of service delivery at a local information technology firm, Global IQX, which provides software for group insurance plans. For Maguire, the major issues are transit, trash and taxes. He’s proposing an alternative to the city’s transportation master plan-approved route for the $1.2 billion next stage of light rail, which Watson is campaigning on. Instead, Maguire wants put commuter rail from the suburbs onto 72 kilometres of existing rail tracks to provide four trips on each line to at total of 6,400 passengers per day. Trains could be running at least part of that route within a year, Maguire said, and it would be much cheaper – around $355 mil-

lion, he said. Maguire’s route would connect to Barrhaven, Riverside South, Kanata, Orleans and Gatineau via the old Prince of Wales rail bridge. While transit is important to voters and the business people Maguire talks to, the number one thing he hears from electors is, “Pick up my trash,” Maguire said. While Maguire said he likes the idea of a green-bin program, the botched Orgaworld organics-waste processing contract and a move to biweekly pickup have riled residents. He said it’s not the city’s or mayor’s job to play “social engineer” and force people to recycle. Maguire would rather see a high-efficiency incinerator like Durham and Peel regions recently acquired and he thinks the Plasco waste-to-energy idea the city signed onto is a pipe dream. “I love the idea. It’s like James Bond,” he said. “I wish they could get their act together.” On taxes – and taxpayers’

bottom lines – Maguire isn’t committing to an O’Brienstyle “zero means zero” pledge. But he says he’d lead an effort for the city to “live within our means,” and that means looking at a starting point of no increase in the municipal tax rate. He said Watson’s two per cent tax rate increase cap is “meaningless” because the city borrows money for all capital projects. Maguire would stick to a pay-as-yougo approach and only borrow for major capital projects. Less tax revenue would mean fewer services, and aside from emergency services, nothing is sacred, Maguire said. He wouldn’t point to specific cuts but said whether he is elected or not, the city is going to be forced to take a look at its spending through a third-party review. A hiring freeze and a reduction in the number of city staff (through attrition, not layoffs) is also needed to ensure financial sustainability, Maguire said.

Spiced apple fritters taste best when fresh Lifestyle - These crispy fritter bites are a mouthful of apple delight! They’re best eaten right away but can be enjoyed cold or reheated. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Total cooking time: about 20 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen. Ingredients

• 1 litre (4 cups) vegetable oil • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 75 ml (1/3 cup) granulated sugar • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each baking soda and salt • 6 ml (1-1/4 tsp) ground cinnamon • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground nutmeg • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cloves • 1 egg • 250 ml (1 cup) buttermilk • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil or butter, melted • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla

• 500 ml (2 cups) small diced peeled apples • 125 ml (1/2 cup) icing sugar, sifted Preparation

In a large saucepan or deep-fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat to about 182 C (360 F) on candy

thermometer. Reduce heat when the temperature is reached. (If you’re not ready to start frying, remove the pot from stove.) In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil and vanilla. Stir in the apples. Stir in the flour mixture just until moistened. Using a small ice cream scoop or spoons, gently drop about 15 ml (1 tbsp) of batter into the hot oil. Cook about seven fritters at a time, for four minutes, or until lightly browned. If needed, touch the fritters gently on top to flip them. With a slotted spoon, remove the hot fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut one fritter open to check if it’s cooked through and adjust time or temperature. After draining about one minute, dust with icing sugar. Foodland Ontario

Coalition hopes to lay waste to incumbent councillors Property owners’ group targets green bin, garbage, bio-solids Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A handful of candidates across the city of Ottawa are promising to scrap the green bin program, bring back weekly garbage pickup, give hydro dividends back to customers and stop the spread of bio-solids on local farmlands. The Ottawa Property Owners Coalition is the brainchild of Osgoode Ward candidate Mark Scharfe, a farmer and retired Ottawa police officer who wants to overturn the current council – and most of its decisions. But one candidate is not enough. “Even if I’m fortunate enough to get elected, if I bring a motion to this council and they haven’t changed much, I’ll just get outvoted,” Scharfe said. “So we have to get at least half of them out of there.” Scharfe said he has found

13 candidates across 23 wards who agreed to bring back “basic municipal services” like weekly garbage pickup. Along with his son Brandon Scharfe running in Alta Vista and his nephew Roger Scharfe in Gloucester-South Nepean, Scharfe said coalition candidates include Jennifer Robitaille (Orleans), Ian Bursey (Barrhaven), James Parsons (West Carleton-March), David Lee (Stittsville), Guy Annable (College), Mohamed Roble (Gloucester-Southgate), Rene Tessier (Beacon Hill-Cyrville), David-George Oldham (Rideau Vanier), Michael Kostiuk (River), Marc Belisle (Cumberland) and Bruce Faulkner (Kanata South). If most of them get elected, Scharfe said that would be enough to make big changes at city hall. “If we can get 11 or 12 to support this platform, then we can get it through. It’s no more complicated than that,”

he said. West Carleton-March candidate James Parsons said he was “on board from the getgo.” He said he agreed with Scharfe on most policy points, and especially believed in his election strategy. “There’s been much made about Mr. O’Brien, or even Mr. Harper, in that they brought forth a platform telling the people ‘This is what we are probably able to accomplish if enough of us get elected in, because we have voting power,’” Parsons said. River Ward candidate Michael Kostiuk said he was also happy to join Scharfe’s team. “I’m running on a governance issue: improving the governance at the city of Ottawa,” he said. “To try to do things individually it’s difficult, particularly if you’re a newcomer. Unless you get together your voice is small.” The platform centres on the

A key thing Katherine Hobbs has learned during her four years as Councillor for Kitchissippi ward is the power of working together. She has worked with the people of Kitchissippi to lower speed limits on residential streets, with her colleagues on Council to get them to reject a proposed high rise overlooking Parkdale Park, and with the NCC to get a traffic signal on Island Park Drive and a dog run in Hampton Park. Katherine has exciting plans for the next four years that will take all of her skill and experience to turn into reality. “I believe that as our community grows, recreational facilities must also grow so that people of all ages have places to gather and play.” Katherine’s plan includes transforming Bayview Yards into an urban oasis by the river. Katherine, who sold her car in 2012, cycles, walks and uses public transit. She can see transportation as a whole, not just from one viewpoint. “Our first priority should be child-friendly streets. That means controlling speeds and reducing cut-through traffic.” She believes that what cyclists need most is a network of safe cycling tracks that connect throughout the city. Katherine plans to join the Environment Committee, where her top priorities will be to complete the Ottawa River Action Plan and encourage recycling in multi-residential units. Kitchissippi is one of Ottawa’s fastest growing communities. “I have worked with many Kitchissippi neighbours on five new Community Design Plans, which reflect the voice of the community and protect existing low-rise homes.” An important change has been the passing of an Infill By-Law that ensures that new infill houses fit into their surrounding neighbourhood. “Now, with all the new tools we have put in place, there will be more certainty for residents.”

“dangerous and ineffective” Orgaworld green bin program, which Scharfe says “took advantage” of Ottawa taxpayers. “I read the contract myself, and I can tell you unequivocally that I don’t know a farmer or a businessman in the city of Ottawa who would ever sign something like that,” he said. In July, a report from city auditor general Ken Hughes found that the city has already

Scharfe is also passionate about stopping the spread of bio-solids – treated human sewage – on farmers’ fields, something he considers a public safety issue. Retiring Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who has spent 31 years in municipal politics, said he doubts the coalition will sweep council as Scharfe hopes. “You can go out and find in every ward someone who would say, ‘Yes, I’m going to join; if we’re elected we’ll work at getting rid of Orgaworld and the green bin,” Thompson said. “But the reality is that you’re one vote. Maybe one of them ever has a chance of sitting around the table.” He said being what he calls a “no group” doesn’t tend to go far. “The general public might not like the green bin program as much as we thought, but I think people are more sensible than saying just cancel everything,” he said. “There is a cost to everything.”

overspent $8 million on the Orgaworld contract. The city pays at least $7 million a year to Orgaworld to process 80,000 tonnes of organic waste. It’s a threshold the city has barely been able to reach in the seven years since the contract was negotiated, leaving the city to pay to process some waste twice. The city has paid $4.7 million extra for unutilized capacity since the start of the contract, plus $3 million extra since the start of the contract to separately process leaf and yard waste, Hughes said. But cancelling the contract is no easy feat either: city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said cancelling would cost between $8 million and $10 million – and Orgaworld would likely argue it’s higher.  The property owners group also wants to bring back weekly garbage pickup – an essential municipal service, Scharfe says – and also giving Hydro Ottawa’s annual dividends back to its customers instead of city hall.

Well. This demanded a meeting at the Northcote School, let me tell you. Cora said we should all just not go. Joyce said that would be very bad manners. Velma and I said we wouldn’t miss it for the world. For days, we could talk about nothing else. I was the only one who had ever been in Marguirite’s house, and that was a day I would be happy to forget about. I barely got my nose inside the door when Marguirite and I got into an argument, and I was hustled home in her mother’s car before I had a chance to even have a good look around. I knew for a fact there were electric lights and a flush toilet, because Marguirite made sure we all knew about her modern conveniences. And there I was gypped out of trying either. Imagine a flush toilet, not a little hut behind the cedar trees at the back of the house, and electric lights just like they had in the houses in Renfrew. The party was on a Saturday, and we were all decked out in our very best clothes – the ones we wore to church on Sundays. When we arrived on the dot, Marguirite looked like she had just stepped out of a gift box. Her artificial curls were tight around her head and looked for all the

world like little golden sausages. I could have sworn she had on lipstick and a spattering of rouge. Her mother shook hands with us, just like the minister did after church on Sunday, and it didn’t take long for her to get us playing games, quiet ones, like snakes and ladders and Chinese checkers, and there were prizes for the winners. Finally, we are shuffled out of the parlour and into the dining room – Joyce’s house was the only one I knew of which had a dining room – the rest of us ate our meals around old pine tables in our kitchens. There was even a white table cloth spread out, and in the very centre of the table was a cake with candles, and in front of each of our plates was a little bag like Mr. Briscoe used to measure out black pepper. A gift for each of us to take home. But before we could have our cake, Marguirite’s mother brought in all our presents and put them in front of her in a heap. My gift seemed to be the biggest in the pile, but I had taken a heart shaped box that had once held chocolates, and arranged inside of it a lace hanky Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the hand-me-down box. There was certainly no money for frivolities like expensive birthday presents. Even at that, I hated giving up the little hanky, the only nice one I had with real lace on it. And the box had held little treasures I had collected, like shiny stones, my own hankie

with a few pennies tied in a corner, and hair ribbons I kept for special occasions. And there I was handing over two of my most precious possessions to a girl who did nothing but cause me anguish at the Northcote School. Finally, she was down to my present. My sister Audrey had wrapped it in red tissue paper that had been ironed and which was once wrapped around a Christmas present. Marguirite tore into the parcel, which I thought was very extravagant indeed. We would have saved the paper at our house. I could tell she loved the heart shaped box, with the hand-painted face on the top. She lifted the lid and gazed at the lace hanky, which I read immediately as pure delight. She took out the hanky, and stared at the inside of the box. Then she said, “Where’s the chocolates?” Her mother quickly held up the hanky and made clucking sounds of approval, while Marguirite looked at me as if I had just stolen eggs out of their chicken coop. While the cake was doled out, Marguirite never took her eyes off me, and I had the worst urge to ask for both the hanky and the heart shaped box back. And I couldn’t wait for the party to be over. But before we were all to head home, I decided I was going to get something out of the day besides Marguirite’s ill temper, so I went upstairs and used the flush toilet. In fact, I flushed it three or four times, and even though the sun was shining in the little window, I snapped the light switch on an off for good measure.

Youville Centre, St. Mary’s Home get funding boost Michelle Nash

The Ontario Trillium Foundation granted the Youville Centre and St. Mary’s Home $300,000 to support their joint initiative of becoming accredited mental health agencies.

OVER

News - Two local parenting support organizations now have the funding to help expand their services. The Youville Centre and St. Mary’s Home were granted $300,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation on Sept. 30 at the Youville’s annual general meeting at the United Way Ottawa’s office. Both organizations work with teen and young mothers in different capacities. At St. Mary’s, at-risk and homeless pregnant and parenting youth receive prenatal ed-

ucation, infant mental health and parenting counselling. The Youville Centre helps young mothers complete their education by making childcare, mental health and addiction counselling available. The funding from the grant will be split evenly between the two organizations and will help each towards their goal of becoming accredited mental health agencies. The accreditation could take up to four years. The organizations will use the funding to hire a consultant to help them with the process. Both executive directors of St. Mary’s Home, Nancy Mac-

Nider and Youville Centre’s Cindy Simpson both expressed excitement about expanding services at the organizations. “St. Mary’s Home is thrilled to have this new opportunity to enhance our organizational strengths while partnering with the Youville Centre,” MacNider said. “As we reach towards excellence in a process that shares economies of scale, we are building on decades of collaboration on behalf of pregnant and parenting youth and their children. This announcement means: We all win.” Simpson said both Youville and St. Mary’s have been partners for decades and was

thrilled to have the opportunity to work together towards the accreditation. Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur, who could not attend the funding announcement, said in a press release she was proud to announce the province’s support for the collaborative initiative. “Ontario is committed to improving mental health services for children and youth,” Meilleur said, adding the Trillium funds will help strengthen the community-based system for delivering mental health services and will bring people and organizations closer together locally.

Competing visions for Windmill site threaten redevelopment Continued from page 1

Currently, the plan would see the former industrial paper-mill islands and part of the Quebec waterfront transformed into a mixed-use community built with ecologically friendly aspirations. The site is around 650 metres north of the LeBreton Transitway station (the future Pimisi light-rail station) at the end of Booth Street. If the development is approved and built, it would become home to 1,200 residential units, 17,000 square metres of office space and 4,800 square metres of retail space. That didn’t appease critics who attended the meeting. Many invoked the vision of the late William Commanda, chief of the Kitigàn-zìbì Anishinàbeg First Nation. Commanda wanted to honor the

sacred site called Asinabka – which refers to the Chaudière Falls, Chaudière Island, and Victoria Island – by redeveloping the area with an indigenous centre, a regional and national history centre and a conference facility. The item was up for discussion at the meeting because the 7.3-hectare property, paper-mill owner Domtar sold to Windmill in December of 2013, is currently zoned as parkland, even though it was occupied by an industrial facility for years. In an unusual situation, Albert and Chaudière islands do not have a land-use designation in the city’s secondary plan for the central area. After hours of comments from the public – mostly in opposition – the committee OKed amendments to both the zoning and Official Plan to al-

low Windmill’s plan to move forward. City council was set to sign off on it on Oct. 8, after this newspaper’s deadline. Speaker after speaker implored the committee to reject the application, saying the land should be kept as parkland until a broader discussion on how to implement Commanda’s vision can be found. “This has been a sacred site,” said Judith Matheson, who described herself as a student of Commanda’s. “This was their Mecca.” “Look into your hearts as to whether you are doing the right thing,” said Phil Weir, another speaker. Others worried that the development would “privatize” Chaudière Falls and restrict access to the waterfall to only those rich enough to live in the new development.

Westiende said Windmill’s goal is to make the site accessible to everyone. He said the company is open to dialog about how to improve its proposed community, which it is calling the Isles. Biola Smith, one of the speakers, said she didn’t see a way Commanda and Windmill’s visions could be reconciled. “I believe in development. We are in the world – this is the way it is,” she said. “It is a nice development, but I believe, in the city there must be another place.” In November of 2010, the city’s community and protective services committee approved a motion and report from then-Bay Coun. Alex Cullen for the city to indicate its support for a National Indigenous Centre in the Nation’s Capital, and to encourage the federal government to work with stakeholders such as First Nations and the provincial government to establish that centre on Victoria Island, which is not part of Windmill’s redevelopment.

Developer Windmill got the city’s planning committee’s blessing for its plans to build a mixed-use community on the site of a former paper mill on Albert and Chaudiere islands, despite 47 people speaking in opposition to the plan. Many critics wanted to see the indigenous sacred lands preserved.

Stein sale a success Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A mug sale in the Glebe turned out to be quite successful for a local church. The St. Matthew’s Anglican Church held a unique fundraiser on Sept. 27 where 3,000 beer steins were sold in an effort to raise money to help fix the church’s ailing roof. The mugs, donated by Derele Scharfe, were collected by Scharfe’s father, Milton Erele Armstrong, over the course of many years. Scharfe said she donated the mugs to the church because it is where her parents were married in 1942. Originally, the church’s fundraising committee were unsure the best way to sell the large quantity of mugs, but their plans turned out to be quite a success. Event organizer Margret Nankivell reported that in total the fundraiser brought in $6,000. “We are very pleased with the results which were a bit higher than we expected and we still have some

mugs to sell,” Nankivell said. “And more importantly -- it was a great party for the parishioners and visitors.” Of the leftover mugs, Nankivell said the church will donate some to Harmony House and many will be sold at next year’s Great Glebe Garage Sale. It was the first time the church utilized its parking lot, which it shares with the neighbouring condominium. The condo building agreed to have the parking lot completely closed so the church could set up both food and beer tables as well as the silent auction. The Polished Brass Quintet, who performed throughout the event told Nankivell they were pleased with the crowd, who shopped for mugs, drank some beer and ate a sausage or two in the courtyard. Nankivell said the church was pleased with how well it worked to use the parking lot. “It was as perfect a fall day as you will get,” Nankivell said.

Admission is a donation to the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard.

Please advise of any accessibility-related accommodation. Please note that this is not a nut-free event.

Provincal rule change to allow taller wood buildings Move a construction industry ‘game-changer’, association says Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - New provincial rules to allow buildings of up to six storeys to be constructed with wood will be a “game changer” for Ottawa, according to the president of the local homebuilders’ association. John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Homebuilders’ Association, said the Ontario government’s announcement on Sept. 23 that it will increase the height of buildings that can be constructed with wood frames from four to six storeys is a great idea that will increase residential density while allowing for more creative architecture. Herbert said he anticipates a number of builders will jump on the chance to build six-storey wood-frame struc-

tures when the Building Code changes come into effect Jan. 1, 2015 – mainly because it is cheaper than concrete. Studies show that a woodframe building costs about 15 to 20 per cent less to put up than a concrete structure, Herbert said. But more importantly, it will change the streetscapes in Ottawa, he said. Right now, there are very few buildings between six and 10 storeys in Ottawa because it was not economically feasible to construct a building of that height and density in concrete, Herbert said. “It’s a no-man’s land,” he said. That cost effectiveness should translate into more affordable homes, Herbert said. Now, builders can use wood and build a profitable project at the six-storey height, Her-

Starting Jan. 1, homebuilders in Ontario will be allowed to construct taller wood-frame builders. The provincial government is changing the building code to allow buildings up to six storeys to be made from wood, up from four storeys. bert said. He also expects the buildings will look nicer. Creating interesting and intricate

facades isn’t easy with concrete buildings, which often end up looking like flat slabs, Herbert said. Wood construc-

tion is a much more flexible material and will allow building facades to be stepped in at points to break up the fronts of buildings. Herbert pointed to British Columbia, where about 50 six-storey wood –frame buildings have been constructed since that province changed the law in 2009, but around 200 more have been approved or are under construction. Seattle has allowed similar building forms for 25 years, Herbert said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, vice chairwoman of the planning committee, said allowing this new form of building will help the city “hold the line” on urban sprawl. Harder said she could anticipate some builders coming back to the city to request rezonings for six-storey buildings in order to “take advantage of this new form.” “We’ll have to deal with that, but I think that the province in saying that it’s possible to do it, is going to allow us and the developers, too,

who are building our communities, to make better land use,” Harder said. “It also allows us to get the density in a different fashion, which will allow more space to possibly more pathways, more space for people to live on,” she said. The move, which the province said is intended to support the forestry industry, will be especially beneficial to local companies that produce pre-fabricated wood panels, Herbert said. That’s because the panels can cut down construction times – the period when the wood buildings are most susceptible to fires, mainly arson, Herbert said. Once a modern wood-frame structure is built with sprinkler systems in place, the risk of it being destroyed by fire are quite low, he said. Other fire-safety measures include a requirement that stairwells be made of noncombustible materials and roofs be combustion resistant.

Suburban span to be renamed Vimy Memorial Bridge Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The StrandherdArmstrong bridge in south Ottawa will soon be christened the Vimy Memorial Bridge, if council accepts a recommendation from the transportation committee. The Manotick and Barrhaven branches of the Royal Canadian Legion jointly proposed the name Vimy Bridge this July, with the support of Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. The bridge spans the Rideau River, connecting Earl Armstrong Road in Riverside South and Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven. The proposal aimed to memorialize the 1917 battle of Vimy Ridge, in which 3,600 Canadian troops were killed and another 7,000 were wounded. A month of consultation revealed overwhelming support

for the spirit of the proposal, but enough people were put off by the perceived wordplay of rhyming “bridge” with “ridge” that the commemorative naming committee added the word “memorial” to appease most naysayers. “Some (people) objected to what they perceived as a pun on Vimy Ridge,” said Diane Blais in the city clerk’s office. “The compromise of adding the name ‘memorial’ alleviated their concerns, because their major concern was the play on words.” Barrhaven legion president Ernie Hughes said the two branches support the revised name – and said it was never their intention to make a pun out of the nation-building battle. “Once we heard (the revised name) we totally agreed with it. It does sound better,” Hughes said. In total, the clerk’s office received 293 emails, two let-

Of these 651 responses, 560 were in support and 91 were in opposition, according to a staff report.

Blais said some dissenters disagreed with memorializing wars in general, while others wanted more focus on peacekeeping efforts. Others thought the battle of Vimy Ridge deserved to be honoured on a more prominent piece of infrastructure, rather than “a suburban bridge.”

But Hughes said there’s no better project for the memorial than the $48 million span connecting two of Ottawa’s fastest growing communities. “A lot of people say let’s wait for the bridge that crosses from Ontario to Quebec; well, they’re never going to name it that,” Hughes said. A new

international bridge to the United States wouldn’t accept the name, either, he predicted. “People are dreaming if they think there’s going to be another project in the city.” Staff recommended the transportation committee accept the commemorative name on the grounds that it holds historic significance for the region and country. A group of legion members from the two southern branches, as well as members from Bells Corners, attended the meeting on Oct. 1 to show their support for the commemorative name. “We all look back at those people who fought in World War One; here they are charging automatic weapons,” Hughes said. “Canadian soldiers, we remember that type of stuff and the heroes it took to do that. The only way to honour them, as civilians, is to name things after the things they’ve done.” City council was set to approve the final decision on Oct. 8.

Public Meetings on Boundary Revisions and Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion The public is invited to attend one of four joint meetings to be held across the District to seek input on minor attendance boundary revisions and the expansion of the Elementary Alternative Program boundaries. Minor Attendance Boundary Revisions In an effort to ensure school boundaries are consistent with new development areas, improve access to programming, provide better utilization of existing instructional space and address inconsistencies in neighbourhood alignments, staff is proposing a number of minor boundary adjustments to provide for effective accommodation of students in different parts of the District. Areas/Programs/Boundaries potentially impacted include the following: E Mer Bleue Expansion area (Orleans) E Cardinal Creek New development area (Orleans) E Central Park MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Valley Stream Secondary 9-12 boundary revision E West Carleton MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Riverside South New development areas (south of Armstrong Rd. and east of Limebank Rd.) E J.H. Putman/Broadview 7-8 EFI boundary revision (Carlingwood area only) Detailed information regarding these proposed revisions can be found at: http://goo.gl/8TcJvB Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion Following a market demand survey in 2013, staff was directed to consult with the public regarding a plan to expand the elementary alternative program boundary, commencing in September 2015. The expansion would include areas not currently served by the program and include all suburban areas and rural areas outside of the Greenbelt. Potential expansion areas include the following: E West – Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and all rural west communities E South – Barrhaven, south Nepean, Riverside South, Manotick, & all rural south communities E East – Orleans, Blackburn Hamlet & all rural east communities Details about this review can be found at: http://goo.gl/AW6qsC Schedule of Public meetings (please note the SAME information will be available at each meeting) #1 - South Thurs.

Watson’s Mill staffer Alexandra Smaridge helps Stephen Tam and Stuart Johnson Edwards catch apples at last year’s Harvest Festival.

Harvest Festival becoming a favoured tradition Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - As the sun sets on summer, Watson’s Mill is harvesting the last of the nice weather to host its second annual Harvest Festival. On Saturday, Oct. 11 guests can enjoy a special treat as the mill welcomes the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society to showcase their upcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof. The theatre troupe will perform three songs from the classical Broadway play, including its famous tune, Tradition. It certainly fits the theme, as event organizer Melanie Parker said the festival will include traditional games and harvest activities between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Families can bob for apples, enjoy a wagon ride or even gobble pie to be crowned the 2014 ultimate pie eating champion, she said. This year’s pie-eating contest features blueberry pie from the Miller’s Oven, topped with whipped cream “just to make it messier,” Parker said. Kids can also decorate cookies, play some tug of war and test their skills with a hoop and stick. Manotick residents have

long enjoyed a harvest festival every fall, but the business improvement area stopped running it several years ago, Parker said. Last year, staff at Watson’s Mill decided to go it alone, with the help of the Rideau Township Historical Society. This year’s event will also include entertainment from Terry McGovern’s band the Retrosonics, and staff will be busy baking buns for sale using the clay oven that students at Manotick Public School helped make on their class trip earlier this fall. Next door, Bill Zandbelt will set up his extensive display of hand-carved agricultural wooden toys at the Dickinson House – a display that will stay in place all weekend. Watson’s Mill is a unique 1860s grist and flour mill located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick. The mill has a number of fallthemed events coming up in October, including the second-annual Haunt Nights on Oct. 23 to 25, from 7 to 9:30. The mill is looking for youth volunteers to populate their haunted mill. The mill will also host a paranormal investigation on Halloween night. For more information call 613-692-6455.

News - Doing anything for 24 hours straight is difficult, but three comic book artists were up to the task on Oct. 4 as they took on the annual 24-hour Comics Challenge. Beginning at 10 a.m., Clayton Jacobs and Westin Church joined Suzanne Marsden at her Kanata home for an entire day as part of the global challenge. The goal, Marsden said, is to draw one page per hour – which was harder than it sounds, as Church said he was already a page behind only five hours in. The artists said candy, coffee and the perfect blend of the two – chocolate-covered coffee beans – were all part of their strategy for staying awake through the wee hours. The event attracts as many as 2,000 artists every year throughout the United States, Canada and the world according to comic retail trade association ComicsPro, which administers the event. American artist Scott McCloud first challenged himself

Emma Jackson/Metroland

Comic book artists Suzanne Marsden, left, Clayton Jacobs, middle, and Westin Church gathered at Marsden’s house in Kanata for a 24-hour comic marathon on Oct. 4. and a friend to complete a 24hour comic in the summer of 1990, in an effort to blast through writers’ block. The phenomenon began to spread until 2004, when comic book publisher Nat Gertler organized the first official event to be played out at stores across the United States. By 2007, the celebration had spread to 18 countries, involving over 1,200 artists and producing

an estimated 20,000 pages of comics in a single weekend, McCloud said on his website. Marsden said it’s a refreshing way to approach your art, especially if you’re stuck in a rut. “Because you’re going so fast, you don’t over think what you’re doing, you just proceed,” said Marsden, who founded the monthly Ottawa Comic Jam in Chinatown with Jacobs several years ago. “Sometimes (you’re

drawing) stuff at 2 a.m. that you wouldn’t otherwise think of doing. There are themes you explore because you’re sleep deprived.” As far she knew, their group was the only Ottawa team participating in an organized way. A comic book shop in Kingston also held an event. ComicsPro hosts the event every year on the first Saturday of October.

Canada’s dwindling blood supply prompts urgent appeal Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A blood shortage across the country has prompted Canadian Blood Services to appeal for donors to roll up their sleeves and boost dwindling supplies to keep hospitals from having to defer elective surgeries and other treatments. Summertime is typically a slow donation time due to people’s holiday travel schedules, but in the past few months demand for blood, coupled with low donor attendance, has resulted in Canada’s lowest blood inventory since 2008. “Every community has been struggling this year and that’s why we officially launched the appeal on Tuesday morning (Sept. 30) to all Canadians,” said Pamela Mullins, director of donor relations for Canadian Blood Services, a national non-profit that manages much of Canada’s blood supply. “We typically like to keep inventory between five and eight days on hand and right now we are just hovering around that three-day thE tool & EquiPmEnt storE

mark. “That’s why we have raised this to a critical issue.” It is imperative for the agency to keep adequate supplies on hand in order to serve hospital demands for blood on a day-today basis. Blood types A and O are especially needed. “So if we don’t turn this around, we will have difficulty meeting the expected hospital demands across the country,” said Mullins. Elective surgeries and other routine medical treatments may have to be delayed until blood donations rise to healthy levels. Hospitals are not yet at that stage, but they are closely monitoring the situation, she said. “That’s why this is so critical.” Canadian Blood Services collects about 17,000 units a week across the country, but has been failing to accomplish that in recent months due to higher-than-expected appointment cancellation and no-show rates. “So in order for us to turn

the director said. While the organization recognizes that people lead very busy lives, they are hearing from donors who think that if they don’t show up for their

appointment there will be other donors waiting in the wings. “But there isn’t and that’s the issue,” Mullins said. “So if you don’t come in, that unit doesn’t get to the hospital and

doesn’t get to the patient.” Some people aren’t donating because they say no one has asked them. “So we’re officially asking,” she said. “It’s really such a wonderful thing that you can be doing – it’s an easy thing that you can be doing – to truly have a direct impact on somebody’s life.” Fifty-two per cent of Canadians say they or someone they know has needed blood or a blood product for surgeries or medical treatments, “yet less than four per cent of the population donates,” said Mullins. Setting aside one hour can make a huge difference. “It’s such a significant gift that you can be giving to find that hour of your time, and in the grand scheme of things isn’t really that hard to do.” To donate blood, visit blood. ca, call 1-888-2-DONATE or 1-888-236-6283 or download a free GiveBlood app on your iPhone or Android, which allows users to find a blood clinic location and book an appointment.

Ottawa airport reopens largest runway following $30M project Air traffic over the city alters course after Sept. 30 opening Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Air traffic has noticeably changed course over Ottawa with last week’s opening of the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport’s newly reconstructed runway – the third and final landing strip to be overhauled as part of a multimillion project. After years of planning, the $30-million reconstruction, funded by airport improvement fees, began on May 20. Meeting the deadline was essential to minimize the impact to neighbourhoods under the flight path. More air traffic was directed over communities located east and west of the facility while the longest runway was out of commission, “which meant that all of the neigbourhoods east and west of the airport had all of the noise, whereas it’s normally spread out over two runways,” said Krista Kealey, spokeswoman

for the Ottawa International Airport Authority, which has been managing and operating the airport since 1997. Since May, workers with general contractor R.W. Tomlinson, primary sub-contractor Black & McDonald and main consultant WSP Canada have been working 16-hour days, six days a week to ensure the more than 3,000 metre-long runway would be completed by the Sept. 30 deadline. They went through about 85,000 tonnes of asphalt and almost 38,000 litres of paint. “There were hundreds (of workers) and on the busiest days there were 200 people on site at any given time,” said Kealey. “It’s a big runway.” The existing runway was completely reconstructed as well as re-contoured to ensure proper drainage. Lighting systems along the strip were also replaced. The last time the airport’s runways were resurfaced was

during the 1980s. A 300-meter-long runway end safety area was also installed at the end of the strip “in case an aircraft overshoots the runway or lands long or needs accelerating,” Kealey said. The special additions ensure the Ottawa airport meets international standards for runway safety set out by the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United States Federal Aviation Authority, as well in keeping with Transport Canada guidelines. “We’ve done it with safety in mind for our passengers, our aircraft and crew. We’ve done it because it’s the right thing to do,” Kealey said. “We’d rather lead the way in terms of safety. It’s our absolute first priority. And so we’re there.” The safety area was dug up, and loose fill was added and then seeded. “So it’s grass, but if a plane were to go into it, the way that

The $30-million project began May 20 and was completed by Sept. 30. it’s sloped … would allow it to come to a stop and there’d be nothing there to do any damage to it, so it would just sort of sink into it,” she explained. The reconstruction is the third and final phase of an overhaul that began in 2010 with an overhaul of the 04/22 north field runway, a 1,000metre-long strip used for general aviation, as well as flight

schools and flying clubs, which use small aircraft such as Cessnas. Then, in 2012, the airport’s 07/25 east-west runway was overhauled and runway end safety areas were installed at a cost of about $15 million. “And then we went to the added step of grooving it (in 2013), which means you make cuts across the runway,

and that’s to improve drainage again,” Kealey said. “And we’re the only tier-one airport in Canada that has a grooved runway. The only other one is a small airport in (Canada’s) north.” Next steps for the airport authority include grooving the airport’s longest runway next summer after the asphalt has cured.

Loss of police staff sergeant echoes through Ottawa Kal Ghadban described as ‘larger than life’, had a laugh that filled the room Brier Dodge and Jessica Cunha brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – Ottawa police are in mourning after an officer took his own life at the Elgin Street police headquarters on Sunday. Staff Sgt. Kalid “Kal” Ghadban, a 22-year veteran of the police force, was discovered with serious injuries in his office shortly after 1 p.m. on Sept. 28. Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, which is probing the death, said that Ghadban was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The unit has assigned three investigators and one forensic investigator to look into the incident. Police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy would not confirm reports that Ghadban killed himself with his service pistol. Ghadban’s family have released a statement through the police, asking the public to respect their privacy. “We are heartbroken to have lost Kal so tragically and so young,” said the family. “He was a proud and devoted husband and father, and an excellent police officer.

‘He was a dedicated police officer, dedicated to his community’ Continued from page 33

“We would like to thank his friends, his colleagues and the community for their support and for keeping our family and friends in their thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” they said. “The loss to our family will remain, but the outpouring of love we have received for Kal has been comforting. As we continue to grieve and honour him, we would ask that our privacy be respected.” Ghadban, 43, lived in West Carleton with his young family. “I knew Kal even before my time on council,” said West Carleton-March Eli ElChantiry, chair of the police services board. “Kal used to frequently come see me at the Lighthouse (Restaurant) with his family. We got to know him through the years.” El-Chantiry had just gotten home from the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial on Parliament Hill Sunday when he received the news.

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau, centre, said the mood at the police station was sad and somber as he gave a statement to media on Sept. 28. “It was a sad day to begin with,” said El-Chantiry. “Our focus is on his wife, his three children, his family, his mom and dad, his brothers and sisters, the whole Lebanese community. “He was larger than life. His laugh would fill up the

room. I don’t know what to say. Honestly, my heart goes out to his (family).” Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the mood at the police station was sad and sombre as he gave a statement to media hours after the incident.

He said police met with Ghadban’s wife, three young children and parents that afternoon. “We’re there to support Kal’s family, his wife, his three kids, and all the members of the Ottawa Police Service who knew Kal deeply,”

Bordeleau said. “He was a dedicated police officer, dedicated to his community. We mourn his loss and there will be difficult days ahead of us.” Bordeleau said Ghadban handled many difficult cases and projects. He tackled highprofile drug addiction issues in the village of Manotick and oversaw an investigation into a string of break and enters targeting Ottawa’s Asian communities. He had also recently managed a break and enter at Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau’s Rockcliffe Park home. Ghadban headed the police’s break and enter section as well as the street crime and human trafficking units. Ghadban was a familiar face at community meetings and events across the city. “This is difficult and it’s not a day that you want as a chief or a member of the executive,” Bordeleau said. “It shows the fragility of life and how important it is to come together and support our people in this organization.” Bordeleau could not com-

ment on the circumstances surrounding the incident because the civilian Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate. The agency is called in to investigate criminal cases involving police and civilians resulting in death, serious injury and sexual assault allegations. The incident happened the same day the annual police officers’ memorial was held on Parliament Hill. “Today we commemorated the eight officers who lost their lives on Parliament Hill, five of them active members,” Bordeleau said. “And so for this to happen on a day like this is just tragic.” On Monday morning, Sept. 29, Soucy said the family has requested a private funeral service. He said crisis-intervention supports continue to be available for all members of the police service. “Everybody’s encouraged to talk to someone if they feel they need to,” he said. The police have set up an Honouring Kal website at www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ news-and-community/HonouringKal.asp. With files from Emma Jackson

Ottawa group opposes community mailboxes Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - An Ottawa coalition that opposes Canada Post’s decision to replace door-to-door delivery with community mail boxes has officially launched in Glen Cairn. The Coalition for an Accessible Public Postal Service, made up of about six organizations, including Solidarity Against Austerity, the Association of Community Groups for Reform Now (Acorn), the Congress of Union Retirees of Canada and the OttawaCarleton Elementary Teachers Federation , held a town hall meeting at Don Cherry’s Sports Grill in Glen Cairn on Sept. 24. Coalition members said Canadians have a right to receive their mail in a timely fashion. “This is for our children and our grandchildren,” said Nadia Willard a member of Acorn. “To take (home delivery) away only allows the government to take more away.” More than 30 people at-

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Geoff Bickerton, research director with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, says Canada Post remains profitable and doesn’t need to switch from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes during during the Coalition for an Accessible Public Postal Service’s first town hall meeting, held in Kanata on Sept. 24. tended the meeting, including Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and Kanata South candidate David Abuwa. Kevin Skerrett, one of the organizers with Solidarity

Against Austerity, said the coalition is attempting to bring pressure to bear at the level of municipal government, but ultimately wants to place pressure at all government

levels to have the decision to go to community mailboxes reversed. “We are calling on the federal government to, essentially, reflect the views of Canadians, which is that we don’t like this plan and we don’t want to lose home delivery,” he said. “I’m still convinced that this is overwhelmingly opposed by Canadians.” Though decisions on the placement of community mailboxes in the first of 11 communities across Ottawa, including Kanata, has already passed and installation has begun, Skerrett said the fight is not over. “This is, to my mind … a very open question: what is going to happen with this particularly troubling proposal,” he said. The speakers at the town hall said the change to community mailboxes will physically harm some people, cause undue hardship and is perhaps a scheme to privatize Canada Post. Speakers at the town hall

meeting included Willard, Kanata resident Trevor Haché, and Geoff Bickerton, research director with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Bickerton said Canada Post has lied about needing to cut costs to remain profitable. Abuwa called community mailboxes a human rights issue, as much of the discussion centred on how the elderly and those with disabilities will get to their mail. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley had originally planned to go to the meeting, but said he later decided there was no point in attending, and that he had to deal with construction on Post Road. He said Canada Post has committed to helping those with mobility problems get their mail, and that there is nothing more the municipality can do to influence Canada Post. “We’ve done all we can do on that file,” he said. “The deal-breaker for me was that (Canada Post) had to have some sort of a plan to take

care of people that could not get to their mailbox legitimately, and they’ve assured us that they have.” The majority of Kanata South residents are already on a community mailbox system, and it would be difficult to justify keeping door-to-door delivery for the minority, said Hubley. “That’s the challenge in this whole discussion,” he said. Wilkinson said she also does not support the coalition’s objective, though Skerrett said the councillor had spoken in favour of the group during the meeting. “If they can get the rest of the country to keep on having mail delivery in the central city areas where it’s really hard to put in these boxes, more power to them, but right now, we’ve got them here now. I have other things I have to spend my time on,” she said. The coalition’s immediate goal is to have city council pass a motion stating the city’s opposition to Canada Post’s decision, as other Canadian communities have. Both Wilkinson and Hubley said the motion would have no impact, and that they would not support one.

Nordstrom launch to help out two local charities United Way Ottawa, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to benefit Ottawa East News staff

News - Two local charities will be given a helping hand to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest retailer. Nordstrom Inc. announced it will celebrate the opening of its second Canadian store, which will be located at the Rideau Centre, with a benefit to help out the United Way Ottawa and the Ottawa Re-

gional Cancer Foundation. The benefit and the store will take place on March 6, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a company, it has always been a priority for us to give back to the communities that we serve before we open our doors,â&#x20AC;? said John Banks, Nordstrom Rideau Centre store manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are truly impressed by the reach and

impact of these organizations in Ottawa and beyond, and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud to support them through our opening gala.â&#x20AC;? Tickets are $100 and go on sale on Nov. 19 at nordstromottawagala.com. According to the retailer, 100 per cent of the ticket sales will be split between the two organizations.

Funds raised at the Nordstrom gala will help support the Cancer Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer coaching team -- made up of health care professionals who have a background in oncology. This team provides patients with information and practical guidance through every stage of cancer. The United Way Ottawa will direct any money raised

Linda Eagen, president of the foundation, said the organization is proud to be one of the beneficiaries.

Dealing with Stress and Anxiety at University Darby

(Westboro) AOR Ortho Adapt

As a fourth year university student I am particularly stressed a lot of the time. AOR Ortho Adapt has really helped me manage extreme anxiety and has allowed me to remain calm and focused on my studies.

(Barrhaven) Renew Life Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega

I love Renew Life Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega because it is a high potency formula with Vitamin D in one capsule a day. The oil is contained in capsules made from fish gelatine that also contain lipase - the enzyme that helps your body break down fats, so no more unpleasant fishy burps.

Attending university can be one of the most enjoyable experiences of your life. It can also be one the most stressful. Moving away from home and being presented with exciting new social and academic situations can lead to high levels of both stress and anxiety. A survey of more than 30,000 Canadian students revealed that nearly 90% of students felt overwhelmed by everything they had on their plates in the past year, and 56% experienced overwhelming anxiety. Here are some simple ways to proactively take care of your mental health.

Ten ways to manage stress and anxiety: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Eat well. Get exercise. Surround yourself with love. Make connections with your professors. Get sufficient sleep. Take some time to yourself. Go outside. Recognize and avoid stress triggers. Explore holistic approaches. Keep things in perspective.

Balance in your diet is particularly important. What you eat affects your energy level, attention span, memory and happiness. Likewise, exercise can be extremely helpful when you need to clear your mind or deal with that gnawing anxiety of an upcoming exam. Even though the all-nighter is tempting, being rested does wonders for memory retention and focus levels. While procrastinating will only add to stress levels, an hour break to make yourself dinner or watch your favourite TV show can also bring a world of peace to your mind. Try to find a place to study outdoors or go for a walk and allow yourself some fresh air and sunlight.

National Women’s Show October 25-26, 2014 Ernst & Young Centre

We are excited to announce that we will be participating in the National Women’s show this fall. Come check out our booth on October 25th & 26th to get some free samples and some great deals on women’s health products. We, along with our friends at Platinum Naturals are excited to announce Dini Petty as our guest speaker!

Days can begin to feel long and overwhelming when you spend too much time inside. Figure out what is triggering stress; maybe it’s the eerie quietness of the library or that friend that is constantly bragging about her grades. Address the trigger and learn to either avoid it or work around it.

(Orleans) Precision CreaPlx Precision CreaPlx is definitely my go to Creatine! I take one scoop a day before the gym and it has me fueled and mentally focused for my whole workout. This Fantastic Creatine monohydrate has your daily 5g serving along with a waxy maize carb complex to keep your muscles energized.

Jessica

(Westgate) Andalou Naturals Kukui Cocoa Body Butter The Andalou Naturals Kukui Cocoa Body Butter is my new favourite moisturizer! It is so rich, and blends essential omegas 3-6-9 with cocoa and Shea butters to soothe and soften even the driest skin. It is a fall must have, and also comes in passion fruit scent which is just as amazing!

Keep in mind that reducing anxiety doesn’t have to mean turning to prescription drugs. Products like those from Veeva work to calm the mind and ease away stress and anxiety using herbal ingredients. Always remember that a failed test or a bad mark does not define you as a student or person. Dwelling on disappointment will send stress and anxiety levels soaring. For this reason, the single best thing you can do to manage stress and anxiety is to stay positive by proactively protecting yourself from feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope.

Did you Know? - Lemon balm can help reduce stress by 72% and anxiety by 32%! - Omega 3s, found in fish and fish oils help support cognitive health and brain function, and help promote healthy mood balance. - Physical activity can boost endorphins and increase self-confidence. Jessica Abela-Froese is a recent Queen’s graduate with a degree in Political Science, passionate writer, and mental health enthusiast.

Kardish will be closed for Thanksgiving Monday. From our family to yours we are wishing you a safe and happy holiday!

In operation for the past three years, Meggan Larson from Glen Cairn began Operation Christmas spirit when she saw a Kijiji ad offering a free turkey dinner to a family who needed some help that Christmas season. “We were like, ‘Well, we could do that,’ so we just got a few friends together and we ended up donating a couple of dinners and a bunch of toys to some families, and it was really, really cool, and so we decided that we would do that every year,” said Larson.

The volunteers of Operation Christmas Spirit stand in front of a collection of presents and food before it was donated to families across Ottawa in 2013. This year, the group is holding its first barbecue on Oct. 4 at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre in Glen Cairn. She estimates her group has helped more than 400 people so far, donating a turkey dinner with all

the trimmings and presents anonymously to families who have been referred to them.

It’s an act that hits close to home, said Larson, who soon found herself and her family in need after she was diagnosed with cancer. Just a few weeks after her first time organizing Operation Christmas Spirit, Larson was told she had cancer. “We were a single income family, and my husband does seasonal work, and it was February,” she said. “We did not have any money.” “And then a whole bunch of people in Kanata ended up just blessing our family with meals and muffins and clothes for the kids and diapers,” said Larson. “To just have all of these people get together and come over and give us all this stuff, it was just phenomenal.” Now cancer-free, the same people that helped Larson through her time of need continue to help with Operation Christmas Spirit. This year could be the biggest ever for the group, with a goal of helping 75 families and having already raised thousands of dollars already raised. To boost the funds even more, the group is holding a barbecue on Oct. 4 at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, at 170 Castlefrank Rd.

Though the event started off small, it has since grown to include a petting zoo, pony rides, a bake sale, a silent auction and an appearance by Princess Anna of the movie “Frozen.” “There will be just tons and tons of stuff going on,” said Larson, who credited her friend, Jenna Rae Smith, with much of the organization. “We have so many businesses that have stepped up and donated either baked goods or pre-cooked hamburgers in buns, drinks and stuff like that, and of course auction items. It’s just phenomenal,” she said. The event will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Though this will be the group’s first barbecue, Larson said she hopes it will be the first of many in her effort to spread Christmas spirit. “Most people, as far as I know, are not really able to give back in the exact same way that they were blessed with,” said Larson. “It’s really cool to know firsthand how it feels to be on the receiving end, and just be able to bless someone’s Christmas.” For more information, go to OperationChristmasSpirit.com.

Vandalism won’t slow down campaign, Qaqish says Jennifer McIntosh

R0012933993

News - Council candidate for Gloucester-South Nepean, Michael Qaqish, said sign vandalism in Barrhaven won’t slow down his election campaign. Volunteers discovered some torched signs while they were out in Stonebridge on Riverstone Drive on Sept. 29. Qaqish said he has also found some bent and damaged signs in Riverside South and Findlay Creek. He’s made a police report and emailed Chief Charles Bordeleau. “I went to the Greenbank Road police station to make the report and sent a note to the chief,” he said. Qaqish called election sign vandalism “shameful” and said he feels like his signs have been targeted. But a spokesperson for the Ottawa’s police department said election sign vandalism is relatively common. Lisa Macleod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, had 60 of her signs in Barrhaven slashed and

a May statement. “We did notice an increase on Friday night (May 23), where signs from all four parties were destroyed… our crews repaired over 50 signs on Saturday (May 24) alone.” Police charged two men in relation to torching signs on Southmore Drive and McCarthy Road on May 22. The pair lit several campaign signs on fire in the early morning hours of May 22 and were seen fleeing the scene by a witness. Police said the pair weren’t targeting a particular party and it appeared to be a random act. Jason Kelly, another candidate in Gloucester-South Nepean, said he’s had some of his signs damaged as well, but doesn’t see it as politically motivated. “We had to fix some that were knocked over near the high school in Riverside South,” he said. “And some people have called and said they’ve had lawn signs go missing, but it’s so few and spread out that I tend to think it’s kids or people just being silly. I don’t think I was being targeted.”

Lynwood daycare expanded thanks to new capital funding Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Lynwood School Age Program received a facelift this fall thanks to the Ministry of Education. The program, which is run by the Ottawa Catholic Child Corporation, recently expanded to offer a preschool program. Janice Cross, the Lynwood program head, said the centre added the additional spots to fill up the centre while kids are in school. “The ministry made capital funding available for child care centres that were empty during the day because of fullday kindergarten,” she said. According to a ministry report on the Schools-First Child Care Capital Retrofit policy released in November 2012, the funding formula is based on an average of 20 spaces per room, at an estimated cost of $4,600 per space. The November memo said the renovations and spending should be complete by August 2015.

Lynwood’s renovations started in the 2013-14 school year. The centre is physically the same size and nestled in the same footprint attached to Our Lady of Peace Catholic School, but an outer room was added to give the preschoolers dedicated program space. Bathrooms and change rooms were also added to accommodate the younger age group (from two to five years old). The centre also hired some new staff. Cross said two new staff are currently in charge of the preschool program. More will be added once the program hits its capacity. “Right now there are nine kids and we have space for 24,” she said. “There’s space in all of our programs right now.” Lynwood currently takes children from two-and-ahalf to Grade six. While the program runs in Our Lady of Peace, students from Bells Corners Public School students also attend the daycare.

The child care corporation is also expanding other school age programs in Barrhaven and Riverside South, Cross said. The city’s daycare landscape is changing with a new waitlist program operated by an agency that’s independent from the city and “floating subsidies.” Starting this year, the city’s subsidies for families requiring financial assistance with daycare costs will be attached to the family that needs it, rather than being tied to a daycare space. Cross said she thinks it will be a great thing for quality daycares. “It means families will get to choose a centre that suits their needs, rather than because one has a subsidized space. I think it will be good for quality daycares and force others to increase their standards a little,” she said. “It’s about time. Ottawa’s the only city in the province that doesn’t have floating subsidies.”

Gangsters’ siblings focus of new diversion program Gang strategy progress report unveils eight new anti-gang initiatives Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Several Ottawa organizations, from police to case workers, are reaching out to gang members’ families as part of a new strategy to divert younger siblings from joining street gangs. The siblings-at-risk project is a partnership between the Ottawa police, the John Howard Society, Youturn Youth Support Services, Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, Crossroads Children’s centre, provincial probation services and Ottawa Youth Justice Services. Siblings of gang members are often recruited by gangs. “We do see family names

repeat,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs unit, adding the key is reaching siblings when they are still very young. The siblings-at-risk program “goes straight to the root of what could very possibly be the future of guns and gangs,” he said. “What that young fellow or that young girl might be learning or absorbing from the big brother, who knows, but they’re exposed to it,” Bryden said, adding they may be exposed to guns and drugs, violence, gang colours, symbols, jargon and graffiti. It is one of eight new initiatives that have been developed by more than a dozen agen-

cies and organizations over the past year that were publicly unveiled on Sept. 23 as part of the Ottawa Gang Strategy steering committee’s one-year progress report on gangs in Ottawa. Since the three-year action plan was launched in June 2013, stakeholders have been developing collaborative programs to curb gang activity through prevention, intervention, neighbourhood cohesion and enforcement and suppression activities. Some of those initiatives are being rolled out in a number of communities identified by police as being affected by gang activity and violence, some of them the setting for some of the 30 shootings this year, including Herongate, Banff-Ledbury and other south Ottawa communities, said Bryden.

5 STAR SERVICE AT AFFORDABLE PRICES!

Project a long-term approach to complex social problem As part of the “roadmap for action,” community partners are sharing information, hosting training opportunities, providing a co-ordinated response in supporting families, and mapping out provincial services and resources, among several other supports. “A gang strategy is a longterm approach to a complex social problem, and so what the first-year (report) says is that we’re putting a lot of great pieces in place with the intention of creating, long-term, a community that will be resilient to crime and gangs, and will be able to keep families and children and youth safe,” said steering committee member Nancy Worsfold, who is executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, which is funding the initiatives coming out of the strategic plan. Since August, agencies have reached out to seven families of gang members or associates, and one has already accepted help. “Our goal is to target 14

families in a year,” said Christine McIntosh, director of child and youth services and employment and training for the John Howard Society of Ottawa. “We’re doing continuous intake over a period of a year, so obviously the work will continue past a year. I suspect when it’s all said and done, it will be, from the beginning to the end, a threeyear process.” Families of gang members and gang associates are identified by police guns and gangs investigators. From there, families will be approached with an offer of assistance in the form of counselling, employment services and school programs for siblings and even the gang members. If the families consent to the service, a worker from John Howard or Youturn will tailor a program to the needs of the family, the siblings, and the gang member to help them leave behind gang life. “It’s a very holistic approach in supporting the whole family,” McIntosh said. “It’s for mom and dad and

Partner agencies, including the Ottawa police service, are rolling out a series of initiatives to tackle gangs and gang violence. Acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs unit, says one new program developed as part of the year-old Ottawa Gang Strategy is designed to divert younger kids from following the path of their older siblings who are known gang members or gang associates. it’s for little Johnny and little Mary, but it’s also for that gang member and that gang associate that we know lives there,” said Bryden. “It’s the olive branch of ‘Look, this is why we’re here, but we’d love to help you out as well. Are

you looking for an exit strategy from this world that you’re in? We can help you migrate out of that safely.’” Trying to get gang members to accept an offer of help is a “massive” hurdle, Bryden said. “Some have been entrenched

for years. Some love the lifestyle, the money, the attention that maybe they wouldn’t necessarily get if they didn’t have this, the world of gang affiliation, the gang phenomenon.” The gang strategy reveals police identified about 485

gang members and associates in 2013, up from 473 in Ottawa in 2012, and between 15 to 19 street gangs in both 2012 and 2013. The hope is that the numbers of street gangs and members and associates operating in the city will go down if siblings can be diverted as soon as possible. “If we see a decrease in one or more or all of these numbers, we’re on track,” said Bryden. “I am very confident there are going to be very good results,” he said. “I can’t see tangible results right now, but I certainly see the makings of those.” While police enforcement is helping, “it needs support and this is the support it needs,” he said. More projects could be added over time to the Ottawa Gang Strategy, such as identifying key moments in a gang member’s life when they may consider leaving the gang. “So for example, one moment which sometimes causes young men to change their ways is becoming a father, so have we got a project yet? No,” said Worsfold. “Are we talking and thinking (about a project)? Yes.”

Programs return to equestrian park after investment adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Riders are back in the saddle at the former Nepean national equestrian park, where the Wesley Clover Foundation has taken over and committed to pumping $30 million into the site. The park, located north of Corkstown Road on NCC land, had been leased by the city for years, but with the park’s infrastructure crumbling and major horse shows pulling out of the venue, the city looked to pull out of the site in late 2012. With five groups interested in leasing the property, the Wesley Clover Foundation earned a short-term lease from the NCC in March of 2013, and now has two 25-year leases for the park, said Wesley Clover Parks’ executive director, Karen Sparks. After investing about $1 million in the park so far - including making the horse stables, arena and office building useable again and kicking out the raccoons that had taken up residence for the three months that the park had no caretaker - horse lessons returned last April. While the equestrian portion of the site will remain the primary focus, camping, hiking, soccer, winter sports and community events are all planned for the area, with some underway now, said Sparks. Currently, the park’s Ian Millar School of Horsemanship (named after the Canadian Olympic equestrian) is tracking to have 100 participants by the end of the year, said Sparks, with 15 horses on-site. Since Wesley Clover took over, the park has hosted seven horse shows, as well as eight runs through the existing trail system, with plans to connect to trails to the Trans Canada Trail network, said Sparks. The existing 80 hectare, 148-site campground was also running this year, though little had to be done on that end, she said. A forest school has also been established in the park, of-

fering pre-school programming with students spending 50 per cent or more of their time outdoors. The school, run by Marlene Power who started the forest school concept, is expected to be the hub for forest schools in Canada, with educators having taken part in an on-site seminar in September. Six soccer fields are planned to be ready for 2016, located on the east side of the property near Moodie Drive. The West Ottawa Soccer Club, the Ottawa Royals Soccer Club and the Ottawa Sports and Social Club are expected to rent the fields and deal with booking, said Sparks. The park is also working with the Kanata Nordic Club, which will be doing some cross country ski trail grooming this winter, said Sparks, with a plan to have the park as the club’s main base of operations. The foundation expects to make many more infrastructure improvements, including more parking, a covered stand area by the grand prix ring, and expanding the property’s pond into a lake for skating in the winter. “I think there will be major pieces (built) for the next seven years,” said Sparks. The foundation committed to spending $30 million over the 25year lease, but much of that will be spent in the first portion of the lease, she said, adding that work will be spread out so that areas of the park can continue to be used. The endeavour is also completely philanthropic, said Sparks, as the foundation’s lease states that all revenue from the park goes back into the property. The foundation was interested in the property due to its potential, and because the foundation had sponsored horse show events there when the city leased the park. “The grand prix field is international quality, but nothing around it is even regional quality, so it was just sad to see something that could

be really great and a beautiful property right in the heart of the city being something that we can’t really be proud of,” she said. Sparks, and equestrian herself and daughter of Terry Matthews, the founder of Wesley Clover International, pushed for the foundation’s lease proposal. “I knew that this could be a real jewel,” she said, “and it (wasn’t being) used to its potential.” Upcoming events at the park include: • a fall festival on Oct. 18 and 19 with a hay maze and more. • a horsemanship class with team Millar on Oct. 25 and 26. • a national level horse show from June 17-21 of 2015.

More fencing sought for Emond Park Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Emond Park could get fenced-in if members of the surrounding community get their way. Parents using the Vanier park have raised some concern surrounding the safety of the park, which does not have fencing at the corner of Emond Street and Deschamps Avenue. The answer is simple for parents: add more fencing. Before the park was renovated in 2011, it was rarely used and residents admit that when the community was consulted on the renovations, fencing was not discussed. So when the city updated the park the existing fencing was not changed as part of the project. Since the renovations, it has become widely used, said local parent Kate Greer-Close. The increased use, however, has highlighted the dangers of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location at Emond and Deschamps evident.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The use of the park has skyrocketed and that is why we need the closures,â&#x20AC;? Greer-Close said. The community association credits both the growing number of young families moving into the area surrounding the park, a new flower garden and the addition of way-finding signs which direct residents to the park as some of the reasons the park to the increase of use. The request to have the park fenced off must be formalized and so the first steps the Vanier Community Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and recreation committee took was to write a letter expressing its support for adding to the fencing at the park. The association sent the letter to its councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said its working on the request, said staffer Stephane Galipeau. He said an assessment of the park needs to be made and this assessment will be undertaken in the next few weeks.

Winnie

Black animals in shelters have traditionally faced a tougher time finding forever homes simply because of the colour of their fur. Whether it’s due to superstitions about unlucky onyx cats or fears that pitch pooches are more aggressive, the consensus among humane societies is that black animals tend to stay longer in shelter before finding homes, often passed over for their fairer counterparts.
