Fixes outlined for Michele Heights Larger police presence, video cameras to help fight plague of gun violence steph.willems@metroland.com
Police and Ottawa Community Housing are enacting new security measures in the Michele Heights community following high-profile instances of gun violence. Widespread outrage at the brazen nighttime shootings of past weeks compelled Bay Coun.

Harder vows to live up to her name as planning chairwoman Barrhaven councillor will focus on Official Plan, reviewing employment lands, suburb design Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
According to the new planning committee chairwoman, the city has been “too soft” on development applications in the past. That should change over the next four-year term of city council, said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder – not just because she is now in charge of the committee that vets those applications, but mostly due to the city’s new and more definitive planning blueprints such as the Official Plan and the zoning to make it happen. Once that new zoning is approved in February, Harder said planning discussions will move away from the kinds of discussions that have dominated the agenda in recent years, such as neighbourhood outcry and applications that are completely out of whack with the rules.
“Making sure we’re firm and having a resolve about that is going to be good,” she said. “(In the past) we didn’t have a definition that gave true parameters to how an application should be dealt with in the community and looked at in the community, or from the applicant’s perspective, a fairness factor on their side as well.” The assurance of certainty about what could be built next door and a reduction in spot rezoning are important achievements for the city’s political leadership because that’s what residents want, Harder said. “One of the things the mayor always says is he doesn’t want to have surprises. He believes, as do I, that the public doesn’t want to have surprises, including not just the people who live in the community and work in the community, but the people who are putting in (development)

applications,” Harder said. There will also be an effort for city staff to better communicate with affected residents about planning applications, Harder said. The department will be looking to shift some staffers into a new role: community outreach liaisons. “They will be the face of the meetings in the community,” she said. “This is a new way of doing this. “Some people think automatically that there is something duplicitous about the whole thing – that there are two sides to the story and they are only getting one,” she said. “It’s not that way at all.” Harder said she got along well with former chairman Peter Hume, who led the committee for 11 years. Compared to her predecessor, however, she said she is “way more passionate” and has less patience. “You’ll get a lot of honesty from me,” she said. Helping members of the public navigate the sometimes confusing meeting format and ensuring they can make their point heard will be

in 2014. “Are they still the right locations for us to be holding land for employment purposes? Do they serve industry, government and ourselves well in those locations? Or is there a better purpose for some of that land and perhaps we should be looking at other places that make more sense,” she said. Harder said she doesn’t have an opinion on where business parks and industrial areas should be located, but she believes in the future there will be more focus on areas that are accessible by transit. “I think we’re going to see a real evolution,” she said. A significant and important change to how the city plans and builds suburbs will also be revived early in the new year, Harder said. The project, called “building better and smarter suburbs,” hit a snag when city staff from different departments raised last-minute concerns about some of the changes, Harder said. “If the goal is to contain that urban boundary, we have got to be ready to deliver our subdivisions in a timely fashion to prevent the need for people to come forward and say, ‘You know what? You have to expand the urban boundary because you’re not giving me anything to build on and I’ve got people who want to buy homes and we’ve got to have places for people to live,’” she said.

Though police have stated that gang activity connected to the drug trade is behind much of the recent upswing in violence, the issue is not as clear cut as two warring gangs locked in a turf dispute. In most cases, the conflicts that lead to shootings are be-
tween individuals, requiring the need for straightforward police work. That’s where Ottawa Community Housing can be of assistance, assuming the suspect resides on their property. Until now, both the police and community housing staff were operating outside of each other’s realm, said Taylor
– incidents where police were called to a community housing unit would not become known to the housing organization. “Now, there will be information-sharing with the police – we’re going to formalize it,” said Taylor. “Like any other landlord, (OCH) can bring an action under the rental housing tribunal
to remove the tenant.” Long-standing issues affecting young adults in the area – mainly a lack of employment opportunities and the appeal of gang life to some – will take more time and effort to address. A community-wide discussion on the issue can start when a public meeting is held in late January in Michele Heights.

Giant map helps reveal Canada’s true Arctic Travelling learning kit co-developed by Museum of Nature available to schools The Canadian Museum of Nature has created a way for all Canadian children to have the opportunity to explore the Arctic – right from the comfort of their school’s gymnasium. With the help from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s Canadian Geographic Education network, the museum developed Arctic Alive: Explore the natural history of Canada’s Arctic – a portable learning kit which includes real specimens of Arctic plants, animals, fossils and minerals and is accompanied by a giant, eightby-11-metre floor map of the region. The museum will make the map available from Dec. 26 to Jan. 4 for children and adults alike, along with the chance to touch real specimens and discover facts about Canada’s north. Starting in the new year the project will be available free of charge to schools across the country with lesson plans teachers can apply to classes from kindergarten to Grade 12. “The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and
the Canadian Museum of Nature have a long-standing relationship – in fact it began in 1929,” said John Geiger, chief operating officer of the society. “It’s only fitting that the museum and the society have partnered on an Arctic project – one that is designed to help students from coast to coast to coast understand that the Arctic is a remarkable, varied, storied and enchanting place.” The society has developed other large-scale maps as learning tools and Geiger said they have proven to offer a powerful means to convey a sense of place. The museum’s curator of botany Jennifer Doubt has visited the Arctic many times and working alongside fellow museum senior research assistant and Arctic traveller Ed Hendrycks, the two developed the map and helped choose the specimens to accompany it. “We have so many amazing collections from our expeditions,” Doubt said. “We wanted to bring those stories of discovery to life.” Hendrycks added this map is a learning tool which offers students the opportunity to think beyond the polar bears

Shortly afterwards, Black had the children crawling, looking and exploring the map for different places as well as types of things found in the Arctic. Fifteen minutes later she asked the students again to describe the area. “Full of life,” one student said. “Colourful,” was another answer. Hendrycks said the transformation was incredible. “The way they learned so quickly – it was very fast,” he said. “You can see there is an impact.” The general public can try out the map during holiday activities at the Canadian Museum of Nature starting on Dec. 26.

No new police to be hired for fifth year running Officers’ time freed up by shifting resources, giving civilian employees more tasks: chief Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
Despite saying 2015 was the year the police service would finally add new officers after years of austerity, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the service has scrapped a plan to hire 23 additional officers next year. City council recently decided that each department’s budget will only be allowed to increase by a maximum of two per cent in 2015 – including the police service budget. That will mean the police force won’t grow to keep up with the burgeoning population of the city, Bordeleau said. The last time additional members were added to the force was 2010, said Carole
Lavigne, spokeswoman for the Ottawa Police Service. The 2015 police budget will be introduced at the board’s Feb. 4 meeting. The Ottawa Police Service currently has 1,334 sworn officers and the equivalent of just over 596 full-time civilian employees. The police force was originally supposed to get 23 new sworn and civilian members in 2011 and similar increases were planned for each year for the rest of the council term until 2014. When the planned new positions were eliminated in 2011, the police services board was told the move would save $500,000 in salaries and $300,000 in training that year.

Acting staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit and the direct action response team (DART), was blunt about the need for more officers. “We are in need of more manpower,” he wrote in an email. Bordeleau confirmed a recent increase in gang activity and shootings in the city’s west end has led the police to reallocate officers from other areas of the city to the serve the west end. “We are able to shift resources where they are most needed,” he said. “It does put some pressure on certain areas, but we’re able to identify priorities and come together to deal with the problem.” The Ottawa police will focus on ensuring it has the “right resources in the right places,” Bordeleau said, and that includes shedding responsibilities such as collision

residents will not be impacted by absorbing growth within the police service for the next year.” For instance, Bordeleau said the introduction of collision reporting centres has put the service well on the way to avoiding 9,600 hours of police time spent on vehicular crash reporting annually. “(It frees) them up so they
can respond to higher priority calls for service,” Bordeleau said. Collision reporting centres were also expected to raise $750,000 in revenue for the police service in 2014 – about $50,000 less than originally predicted. With files from Erin McCracken

Reflecting on our good fortune
T
he holiday season is a fine time to join together in celebration with friends and family, and to look back at what has become of the year that is just about to pass us by. While we each spend time reflecting on personal triumphs and tragedies, for this newspaper we can take a moment to look back upon the year for Ottawa both as a civic entity and as a large, diverse community. When we take such time, it is easy to see how fortunate we are as a city. We have a stable municipal government that can claim strong support from residents – all one needs to do is look at Mayor Jim Watson’s October election victory for evidence Ottawans are happy with city hall. Considering the chaos in the other large Ontario city during the past four years, we’ve done quite well. Unemployment has barely budged in the past 12 months, moving only one tenth of a per cent. Gas prices are lower than they’ve been since 2009.
Even with the spate of gun violence this year, crime overall continues to decline. We have more and more each year to do in and around the city. Ottawa can now boast three professional sports franchises, a brand new entertainment venue to attract even more entertainment to town, and more music festivals than you can shake a stick at. With all these things to celebrate, it’s also important to reflect on those who are not so fortunate in our society. Demand at food banks and homeless shelters, as well as for services from local charities continues to rise. The next time you pass a donation bin at the grocery store or are handed a charitable contribution form at work, take a moment to remember that. Yes, Ottawa is a wonderful city, one where there is opportunity to grow and prosper, in which to enjoy free time, and a place to call home. Let’s all celebrate our bounty and strive to make it even better in 2015.

But no. First came the commercial onslaught. In Canada it begins right after Halloween. All of November the cheezy Christmas songs ring out over the shopping centres, a vigorous business is done of videos of your child on Santa’s knee and television commercials endlessly provoke us to get-get-get and even give a little.

Just this month, Christmas has entered the geopolitical sphere, with various nations suddenly waxing aggressive over their territorial rights to the North Pole, where Santa Claus hangs his hat. This was in the news last week. Denmark, that most unwarlike of nations, announced that it was legally entitled to one-third of the Arctic Ocean, including the part of it where the North Pole lies. Some say this has less to do with Santa Claus than with the resource-rich seafloor. Much of that has already been claimed by Russia. You wonder how Santa can carry on with all that racket.

First the old guy gets caught kissing Mommy and now this: he becomes a pawn in an international power game. News that Santa was Canadian somehow failed to make a deep impression here. You wonder how he would fare in those Greatest Canadian contests the CBC used to run. Would he beat out Tommy Douglas? Finish ahead of Don Cherry? The larger world also has failed to take notice of Santa’s Canadian citizenship. In some ways, that’s too bad.

Have yourself an active little Christmas
L
ike most people, I’ve found the leadup to the holidays to be stressful. There are the tourtieres and cookies to make, toilets to clean, and kids to discipline. With visitors in and out and no schedule, we should all be able to relax a little bit. And yet, there’s something about Christmas that causes many of us to feel anxious. With the children, this equates to rowdiness. Everything is perfectly calm until someone decides to whip a foam soccer ball at the Christmas tree or at his little sister’s head. To ward off the risk of walls closing in on us, I’ve come up with a list of free and active holiday activities to keep the kids – and me – occupied. Skating. Ottawa’s one of those towns where a pair of skates is an essential pair of winter footwear, even if you
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse only use them a couple of times. If it’s not cold enough for the canal, the Rink of Dreams outside city hall and sponsored by the Ottawa Senators, is a great excuse to strap on some blades. If you’re like me and your toes freeze a little too easily, check out the free indoor skating sessions every weekend at city arenas. All public skating sessions are free until the end of March, thanks to a three-year funding commitment by RBC and the city announced earlier this year. Sledding. If the snow stays on the ground, there’s often nothing more fun than going
out for a slide. If you don’t have the guts for the likes of Green’s Creek, where I understand full body gear is mandatory, have a hunt around your neighbourhood for a local bunny hill. Hills don’t have to be huge to be fun. There are a few easy and fast slopes along the Ottawa River parkways. We’ve got one suitable for a two-yearold in our local park. No helmets required. Walking, hiking, crosscountry skiing. Dog-owners know something the rest of us don’t. Every day, I see my neighbours with dogs walking around the various blocks
in the vicinity. “Don’t you ever get bored of walking the same route?” I asked one day. It turns out, they do, which is why almost every weekend, poochie gets to go on an excursion. Ottawa has lots of great walking routes. More than 40 kilometres inside the greenbelt are groomed for skiing in the winter by the National Capital Commis-
sion. East-enders can check out Mer Bleue; people in the west may like Shirleys Bay. One of my favourites is Pine Grove Forest on Davidson, west of Hawthorne. So if you’re lucky enough to have a few days of vacation time with the family, turn off the screens and take advantage of these free and active offerings. My favourite
thing to do is throw a meal in the slow-cooker, gear up the reluctant kids and come home to the smell of a warm and spicy stew. Getting out to experience the best freebies Ottawa has to offer is not only good for your pocketbook after the holiday splurge, but it may also mark the start of a healthier, more active 2015.

YEAR IN REVIEW The past year for Ottawa West News has been a busy one. This week Ottawa West News looks back at some of the most interesting stories from 2014.
January Condo controversy comes to Little Italy A controversial condo proposal in Little Italy was back on city books, but in a different form from before. When Tamarack Homes’ first proposed an 18-storey, 159-unit condo for the end of Norman Street (abutting the O-Train tracks) in November 2012, it sparked opposition from the community. The dead-end
street is currently lined by low-rise buildings, a theme that carries over onto neighbouring streets, while access is only gained from a Preston Street. While taller building heights are proposed for select sections of the Carling-Preston community design plan study area, those heights would be located closer to Carling. The process to create that plan, which was completed earlier this year, saw residents tout the importance of retaining the low-rise character of residential streets off of Preston. The new proposal, at nine stories, garnered a similar backlash. Bayshore awaits Sens RINK The recreational focal point of

Ottawa West News - Thursday, December 25, 2014
the Bayshore community is poised to take on a new look in the near future. Bayshore Park saw the first of several planned upgrades in 2014, the biggest being the launch of a new multi-use ice pad – part of a revitalization project guided by the city and funded from the city’s parks budget and Accora Village owner Ferguslea Properties. Earlier in January, it was announced that the park would be the site of the latest Sens RINK project, with a permanent surface installed to accommodate winter hockey and basketball in the summer. That project, initiated by the Ottawa Senators Foundation, got underway in the spring thanks in part to $190,000 donated by Ferguslea. Ferguslea had recently completed an extensive retrofit and rebranding project for neighbouring Accora Village, and donated $60,000 towards the park upgrades. At a Jan. 14 meeting residents of the community weighed in on a concept prepared by the city based on ideas and comments heard over the years. Residents were told the elements of the tentative plan could change if they desired different improvements, or wanted some features kept the same.

A four-alarm blaze on Gilmour Street on the evening of Jan. 12 left up to 15 people homeless and took firefighters hours to bring under control. The fire, which originated in a multi-unit townhouse at 546 Gilmour, near Lyon Street, spread to neighbouring units before being knocked down.

ers were told to expect something more on their paycheques come June 1. On Jan. 30, the province announced it would increase minimum wage from $10.25 to $11 an hour, following a recommendation made by an advisory panel made up of business, labour, youth and anti-poverty representatives. The province’s minimum wage had been frozen since 2010. As opposed to previous minimum wage hikes, this one will see the province tie any future increases to the rate of inflation. The governing Liberals tabled legislation later that month to achieve the goal. “We wanted something that was fair, balanced, and predictable,” said Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre. The $11 figure represents what 2010’s minimum wage would be today under observed rates of inflation, said Naqvi. On the Waterfront

The National Capital Commission wants to enliven the shores of the Ottawa River, and called on residents to submit any ideas to help with the process. On Feb. 5 the NCC issued a request for “innovative proposals” that would serve to “bring more vitality to open public spaces along the shorelines of the historic Ottawa River.” Proposals were accepted from businesses, community members and non-profit organizations, as well as local arts groups, until March 14 of this year.

year in review The “fun-making” project mirrors one launched two years ago for the land bordering the Rideau Canal, which, like the Ottawa River shoreline, is federal property managed by the NCC. Britannia homeowners get flooding fix A longstanding problem in Ottawa’s west end was a large step closer to being solved after a Feb. 14 funding announcement made by both city and provincial officials. Funds totalling $1.32 million were pledged towards alleviating the threat of flooding in the low-lying neighbourhoods of Belltown and Britannia Village. The announcement, made at the Britannia Yacht Club, follows years of stop-and-go action on the issue from residents and political representatives. The province will be providing $650,000 towards the project, a sum that includes mapping and risk identification studies, while the city will contribute $670,000, a number that includes $195,000 pledged from residents of Britannia Village. “(This) will lead not just to enhanced safety, but also to more
flexible property options,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, crediting members of a community working group who have scrutinized all aspects of the issue over the past few years. Current flood defences in the area – including an earthen berm and patchy seawall - date to the early 1980s and have since been deemed insufficient to prevent flooding and property damage to homes.
questions about.” Under the current plan, buses will be diverted off the Transitway and onto Scott between Merton Street and downtown starting in January 2016, lasting for a period of two years. Diversion from Tunney’s Pasture eastward would begin in June of 2016.
March Gladstone CDP comes together Space set aside for new parkland was appreciated, but public concern surrounded a new road bridge at the centre of the latest conception of the
Gladstone community design plan. Residents gathered at the Bridgehead Roastery on Anderson Street on March 1 to see details of a preferred concept plan for the area surrounding the O-Train line midway between Carling Avenue and Bayview Road. Continued on page 12
Hintonburg battles buses There was no debating whether buses would have to be taken off the Transitway during its conversion to rail, but could the city’s plan for running them down Scott Street be improved? This goal is what residents and community leaders set out to achieve during a Feb. 18 meeting in Hintonburg. A previous meeting in early December got heated as residents expressing frustration over a perceived lack of consultation and compromise on the part of the city and the LRT contractor, Rideau Transit Group. “The purpose of this meeting was to look at the designs we saw on Dec. 3,” said Hintonburg Community Association president Matt Whitehead. “We got great feedback about specific (elements) that residents had

This open house served to elicit feedback aimed at refining the concept into a draft plan for the area. The Gladstone CDP is one of several in the area, designed to guide new development and streetscape improvements in a controlled manner. A previous workshop identified that residents and stakeholders sought to limit building heights in the area, limiting high-density development to mid-rise buildings while holding any development in existing residential areas to existing zoning.

Elizabeth and husband Tony founded the automotive group that bears his name, and which Maureen currently serves as its vice-president. Tony Graham is in the late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease, an incurable illness marked by cognitive decline and loss of memory.

plan to house the offices and entrepreneurial offshoots of an expanded Invest Ottawa. The former public works facility dates from the 1940s, and the years of neglect endured before a plan came together last year to make use of the facility was plain to see. When opened to clients in 2016, the building will boast office space (both rental and corporate), a digital media/animation lab, sound recording space, even a café and “techo lounge” that would be open to the public. Fundraiser for health care
Steph Willems/Metroland
The Somerset West Community Health Centre hoped to raise $500,000 by the time the doors swung open on its new clinic in Hintonburg in September. The fundraising campaign for the health centre’s Rosemount Avenue branch kicked off on March 20, and continued until the money was raised. Renovations were already well underway at the new branch, which will allow the organization to serve more clients
As winter quickly subsided, fans of white water kayaking were able to venture to Bate Island in Ottawa’s west end to partake in a popular summer pastime. while increasing convenience for those living in the west end of the health centre’s coverage area. The total budget for the Rosemount branch is $6 million, with funds pledged from both the city and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. The $500,000 will see the Rosemount building gain a training kitchen for commu-
nity and infant health programming, supplies and computers, and articles for a children’s room.

A different, memorable Christmas MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories
L
R0013034864
ong ago there was a special Christmas morning. In many it was the same as others, yet it was also so very different. That special day, of course, didn’t allow for special privileges. We still had early morning chores to do, we had to have a full breakfast, the kitchen had to be cleaned up, and we had to be fully dressed, and ready for church, all before we got near the Christmas tree propped in a corner of the kitchen. The tree was always in the kitchen, even though the blasts from the old Findlay Oval caused it to shed, and leave it with pretty scant branches by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Putting up the tree in the parlour, the smallest room in the old log house was never an option. As soon as the first blasts of winter hit Northcote, the room was closed up with a rolled braided rug shoved tight against the door to keep out the draft, and it would stay that way until the snow was gone. So there was the tree, propped in a corner by the icebox, anchored with wires into the wainscoting to keep it from falling over. Finally, we had done the chores, had our breakfast, we
were dressed for church, and Father moved over to the tree, sat down on the floor, and made a great pretense of not being able to ready the cards Santa had attached to each parcel. On other Christmas mornings, we were handed out stockings first. These weren’t the fancy red felt stockings you could buy at the dime store – these were Father’s grey work socks, each with a name attached to the top. No, that morning, we were handed the parcels first. There were the usual hand-knit mitts, a small book – we always could count on a book – and a small toy. I remember mine as if it were handed to me yesterday: it was a small game of Chinese checkers. It looked very much like the very same game I had seen in the dime store weeks before. But I was thrilled, especially when I found it wrapped inside my very first pair of long white stockings. Such luxury was simply beyond me. I had never owned a pair of white stockings before. Finally, all that was left were the five stockings. As Father picked the first one up, he told us we were not to look inside until everyone had his stocking in his hand. It all sounded very mysterious to me, but it added to the excite-
ment. I knew for a fact there would be an orange in the toe. We always got an orange – our once-a-year orange. When Father was sure we each had our stockings, he gave us the nod that we could dig into them. I couldn’t understand why we all had to do it at once, the stockings were usually not too interesting, but that morning, Father and Mother seemed more excited that any of us five children. The first thing we found was an envelope with our name on it. It was Mother’s writing, and the envelope was the kind we used back then, flimsy and blue lined. Well, let me tell you, when we ripped into the envelope, you could hear the yells in Renfrew. Inside each was a crisp $1 bill. Not one of us had ever, in our entire lives, had a dollar bill. I had once been able to amass 33 cents tied in the corner of my hankie and thought I was rich beyond means. But a whole dollar in the form of a bill? Unheard of. “Where did it come from?” I was the first to ask. And then Mother explained it all to us. Uncle Lou, our rich uncle from New York, the one with the big black Buick. The uncle who wore pressed grey flannels. The uncle who put the terrazzo floor in the Waldorf Astoria, had sent Mother a $5 bill, and she was to have it changed at the bank in Renfrew, and each of us five children was to have a whole
dollar in our stocking. Mother laughed when she told us how she had to go into the bank with an American $5 bill, and change it into Canadian money, and how the teller had to know all about it. And I knew Mother would have told her about her rich brother in New York, and how good he was to all of us, all the way out there in Northcote. Emerson, Everett and Earl folded their dollars into small squares and squirreled them away into their Sunday pants pockets. Audrey put hers in her shoe, which I thought was a silly place for a dollar bill, but then I knew she would likely show it off to her friend Iva at church. I knew mine would go into the little drawer of my washstand upstairs, not tied in the corner of my hanky. Oh no – it would be laid out flat under my pile of hankies, and I wouldn’t spend it on something foolish. The rest of what was in our stockings paled in comparison to our crisp dollar bills. In fact, by the time we were in the sleigh on the way to the Lutheran Church in Northcote, I couldn’t remember a thing in my stocking, except of course the dollar bill. And the orange. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you the merriest of Christmases. And my prayer is that you will be surrounded by loved ones, and remember the true message in this joyous time of year.

Mark Kristmanson, chief executive of the NCC, told participants he was only six weeks into his new post -- a job that came with “a big learning curve” - but he wanted to move forward with the organization’s plans on schedule. “The discussions we have today about these spaces will be very important in the decades to come,” said Kristmanson, asking participants to think of changes in technology, transportation, and global warming as things to consider while answering questions. Participants then broke out into working groups to identify issues with the lands and ways to improve them. School seeks green yard The students of Glashan Public School took to the streets in protest on April 7, but it wasn’t a commentary on the state of their school. Rather, it was an effort to improve the condition of their schoolyard. Students, their parents, and
school staff hoped Glashan, located on the block bound by Catherine, Kent and Arlington Street, would be the winner of a $20,000 outdoor classroom – which would bring a green sanctuary to the asphalt-laden, west-facing school yard. A kick-off ceremony was followed by a street rally aimed at bolstering support for the school’s entry into the Trees of Knowledge competition, offered by Majesta in partnership with Trees Canada and Focus on Forests. Albert Street dig begins Prep work was poised to get under way on what promised to be a very busy construction season for the western end of Albert Street. As part of the city’s Confederation Line light rail project, the stretch of Albert Street on LeBreton Flats saw extensive work take place above and below ground this summer, work that will continue next year. Besides upgrading (and widening) the roadway to handle expected traffic from detoured buses, the reconstruction will

see the installation of new segregated storm water and sewer pipes (replacing an antiquated combined system), and new water mains, as well as new signalization and streetscape improvements. Civic works this year included the sewer and water main work on Albert, stretching from just west of City Centre Avenue to Rochester Street. Expansion of the roadway edge to the north to accommodate detoured buses from 2016 to 2018 also took place.
May
Good news, bad news for hydro bills The province announced plans to drop the contentious debt-retirement charge from residential hydro bills after Dec. 31, 2015, a move that will partially offset the elimination of the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit on the same date. The debt-retirement charge was created to pay down the billions of dollars of debt left over from the former Ontario Hydro utility.

Soldiers wave from atop a LAV III vehicle during a military parade on Wellington Street on May 9, part of the ceremonies surrounding the National Day of Honour for those who served in the Afghanistan conflict. The province, expects this to save a typical homeowner $5.60 per month. While any savings was good news for ratepayers in a time of rising energy costs, the move will only serve to reduce the increase of the cost of hydro, as the 10 per cent Ontario Clean Energy Benefit will be retired on the same night. With the benefit removed, ratepayers will pay 10 per cent
more for hydro, minus the debt-retirement charge. This increase is compounded by the 42 per cent increase in hydro rates projected over the next five years in the 2013 LongTerm Energy Plan. Bluesfest House opens The former Westboro United Church on Churchill Avenue
was a hive of activity on May 8, but it wasn’t parishioners filling the rooms and hallways. Members of Ottawa’s festivals scene joined dignitaries in officially opening Festival House, the RBC Bluesfestsponsored community arts hub, which has taken residence in the former church.

Booth Street closure during LRT construction to last two years Ottawa West News staff
Another stage of the Confederation Line LRT project has begun impacting traffic on Ottawa’s west side. On Dec. 21, Booth Street was closed between Albert Street and the John A. Macdonald Parkway for a period of two years, during which time construction will proceed on the rail line, the future Pi-
misi LRT station (currently the LeBreton station), and a new raised bridge to span both the aqueduct and rail line. Opened simultaneous to the Booth closure is the temporary Preston Street extension, which will carry re-routed traffic between Albert and the parkway. A multi-use pathway running along the east side of the Preston Street extension will allow cyclists and pedestrians
to travel between the parkway multi-use path and the one that runs along the north side of Albert. During the closure, LeBreton transitway station will temporarily be located on the Preston extension. Some routes will be affected by this change, and details can be found at octranspo.com. The city estimated that the Booth closure will run until Oct. 30, 2016.

Potato-topped turkey pie great way to use leftovers This is perfect for the days following Christmas. Plan ahead and prepare extra stuffing, gravy and vegetables to use in this economical main dish topped with a colourful mash of white and sweet potatoes. Serve piping hot with cranberry sauce. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Baking time: 30 to 45 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients
Two-Potato Topping • 2 large Yukon cold potatoes, peeled and quartered • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • milk • salt and pepper
Filling • 1 L (4 cups) chopped cooked turkey • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) cooked leftover or frozen vegetables (such as peas, carrots, corn, sautéed mushrooms) • 175 ml (3/4 cup) turkey gravy • salt and pepper • 250 ml (1 cup) leftover stuffing (optional) Preparation
Two-Potato Topping: In a
medium saucepan, cover the potatoes and sweet potatoes with water and cook until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them, adding the butter and enough milk to make the potatoes fluffy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the turkey, vegetables and enough gravy to moisten the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the mixture evenly in two-litre (eight-inch) square baking pan. Crumble the stuffing, if you’re using it, over the top. Spread or pipe the potatoes to cover the turkey and stuffing and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until it’s heated through and lightly browned. Foodland Ontario

The grand opening also served as the official kickoff of the festival season in Ottawa – a city that has established a growing reputation for festivals of all kinds. “The project really was started by the Westboro United Church,” said RBC Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan, recognizing the key players in the endeavor. “There’s two really key things to this building. We’ve started a school in the basement – we call it the Bluesfest School of Music and Art. Our partner in that project … is the Dovercourt Community Centre. (Executive director) John Rapp and his staff have been extremely important.” The Bluesfest and Folkfest offices will be located in the upstairs area, while a number of other festivals will be located in the downstairs area.

Queensway bridges eyed for replacement
New life planned for Chaudiere islands?
The Queensway doesn’t have the same pressing prob-
In early June, Windmill Development Group submitted
an Official Plan amendment in support of its planned redevelopment of the former Domtar lands near Chaudiere Falls. The developer envisions a sustainable mixed-use district containing jobs, residences and public space in what is being called the Chaudiere District, encompassing six hectares of land on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River and almost nine hectares in Gatineau. Contained within the application were a zoning bylaw amendment, a development master plan and a two-stage site plan control proposal. Windmill consulted with numerous stakeholders, for the plan, including the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau, the National Capital Commission and the public. According to the application’s planning rationale, the redevelopment would be guided by a series of environmental principles dictated by the One Planet Community program. The building must be energy efficient and generate no waste, while the surrounding environment must be respected as much as possible.

Those with memory loss are often most comfortable in the “here and now”, so the staff at Symphony Senior Living helps residents and their families live fully in the present and treasure each “moment”. This approach minimizes confusion, agitation and frustration, hence the name “Moments” for this program. At Symphony, staff take a highly personalized approach to each resident’s care and support. Each individual brings a unique set of experiences, abilities, preferences and needs. Lisa Brush, founder of Symphony Senior Living says “It’s important to gain a deep understanding of every resident’s background, so the focus is on what they can do, rather than what they cannot”. The approach to wellness is proactive at Symphony residences offering Moments. Each resident receives a comprehensive assessment before joining the program. The wellness team customizes a care plan based upon a detailed health history which allows them to work closely with each resident. This enables staff to quickly identify even small changes in behavior or routine that may signal the need for an adjustment to their wellness strategy. This keeps residents stronger longer and crises at bay. Cutting-edge research indicates that proper nutrition, medication, physical and brain exercise, and routine health monitoring can dramatically influence residents’ daily abilities, quality of life and health. Some of the steps taken at Moments to slow down the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias include:

Symphony Senior Living, a company renowned for its leading-edge memory care program, is offering a unique approach to caring for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The signature Moments® program is now available at Moments Manor Orléans and Symphony Senior Living Kanata.
t .VTJD BSPNB BOE NBTTBHF UIFSBQZ t 1IZTJDBM TQFFDI BOE PDDVQBUJPOBM UIFSBQZ t 'BMM QSFWFOUJPO USBJOJOH The Moments team encourages families and friends to be part of the circle of care. There are events and activities that welcome family members as participants and education is provided about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This knowledge can help the whole family not only understand disease symptoms and progression, but also learn how to cope with the impact on their own lives. Moments Manor Orléans, previously St. Joseph Villa until taken over by Symphony one year ago, is currently undergoing a complete building rejuvenation. The existing chapel is being restored to its former beauty and will become the centre point of the project. Each floor will have a separate comfortable and spacious living area including a resident kitchen & dining room, living room and lounge areas, resident and family laundry areas, a spa tub and accessible shower rooms. The new environment will be smaller and very homelike. This helps improve morale and increase comfort levels, so residents feel calmer and at ease. In addition, features like a hair salon, private dining room and secured outdoor areas with wandering paths and gardens are being added. Symphony Senior Living Kanata offers two service options for seniors - a beautiful new Moments Neighbourhood as well as assisted living services. This allows residents to choose the best service option for their needs, as well as to age in place without requiring another move. The Symphony Senior Living Moments program is a welcome new addition to memory care services in the Ottawa area. Additional Moments neighbourhoods will be introduced at UIF DPNQBOZ T $BSMFUPO 1MBDF 5FSSBDF MPDBUJPO and its Symphony Senior Living Orléans location in 2015.

lems that plague Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway, but the downtown artery is still in need of attention. The Ministry of Transportation is forming a long-term plan to repair or replace 23 bridge spans in 12 locations in the urban core of Ottawa, between Holland Avenue and O’Conner Street. A May 22 information meeting detailed the preliminary design plan and environmental assessment currently underway for that stretch of Highway 417. The Queensway spans, built between 1961 and 1965, were designed to last about 75 years. Repair or replacement wouldn’t occur all at once, nor would it occur during the course of Ottawa’s LRT construction period. In the interim period, small-scale repairs will take place on the bridges.

Student’s talents get mayor’s attention Winning drawing featured on Watson’s 2014 Christmas card to residents Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com R0013065110
Kaitlyn Hughes’s colourful design of 14 children holding hands as they ice skate has captured the attention of a panel of judges, including Mayor Jim Watson, who selected the winning drawing from hundreds of entries for his annual Christmas card design contest. Hughes’ artwork has since been reproduced as a Christmas card and mailed out by the mayor’s office to wish residents season’s greetings, a tradition Watson has continued since 1992. “This year, it was a really tough job to pick the best because there’s so many great artists in Ottawa,” Watson said at his city hall office on Dec. 17. “But this year this one stood

Mayor Jim Watson, left, and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish present Kaitlyn Hughes, 11, with a framed copy of her creation for Watson’s annual Christmas card design contest. Kaitlyn’s family, including her eight-year-old brother Troy, also attended the Dec. 17 announcement. out – a beautiful rendition of a number of young people skating,” he said before he and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish presented Kaitlyn with a framed copy of her winning entry as her proud parents, Jeff and Claire, her
eight-year-old brother Troy and her grandmother Sandie Reed looked on. It only took Kaitlyn, a Grade 6 student at St. Jerome Catholic School in Riverside South, an hour to craft her design. “I like to see people having
fun in the winter and I like skating,” the 11-year-old said of her inspiration for her pencil crayon drawing. She also included the city’s logo of a stylized “O” in her picture. Kaitlyn’s artistic talents never cease to amaze her mother. “She’s improved so much in the last few years,” Claire said of her daughter who has been drawing and doodling since she was just two years old. Kaitlyn has aspirations of perhaps becoming an illustrator when she grows up, something she already has experience with having created 12 drawings for an as yet unpublished children’s book written by a friend of Claire’s. For now, the young student continues to let her imagination flow onto the page whenever inspiration strikes. “She draws what comes to her. Like, if she’s reading a book (about cats), she’ll go and draw cats,” Claire said. “If she’s learning about medieval stuff, she’ll draw medieval things – whatever just happens to be in the moment at that time.”

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability R0013065076

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694 Ottawa West News - Thursday, December 25, 2014
”
Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Susan Bloomfield always knew her menorah was special, but giving it away brought even more meaning to it. The Barrhaven resident, who is a Christian, has owned the menorah for decades after it was given to her great uncle, Gerhard Richel, in Holland after the Second World War, for saving the life of a Jewish family fleeing the Nazis. The nine-pronged candelabrum, donated by Bloomfield to the Barrhaven synagogue when it opened in September, was lit for the first time in decades during a Hanukkah ceremony at the Ottawa Torah
Center on Dec. 16. The menorah first came into Richel’s possession after he hid a Jewish family in his attic during the Second World War, Bloomfield said. Richel had served in the Dutch resistance against the Nazis during the war and offered a safe haven for the family for years. The Jewish family gave him the menorah as a gift to thank him after the war. When Richel died, the menorah was brought to Canada by Bloomfield’s grandfather, who had immigrated before the war. He then handed it down to Bloomfield’s mother who in turn gave it to her. “It was always in our house,”
Bloomfield said. “It always meant a lot to the family because of the story behind it.” The menorah sat in Bloomfield’s dining room as a decoration for years, but she never used it. She said she told its story to her children to teach them lessons about tolerance and about the horrors of the Holocaust. As Bloomfield watched the construction of the Ottawa Torah Center from her home across the street, she felt the need to give the menorah to the new congregation. She got in contact with Rabbi Menachem Blum and presented the menorah to the synagogue in September. “Now it’s come full circle,” she said. “It’s just so nice because now it’s back at home.” The Ottawa Torah Center celebrated its first Hanukkah in its new home by lighting the menorah on the first day of the eight-day festival. “It’s quite fitting because Hanukkah is the holiday that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and the triumph of religious freedom,” Blum said. “The symbolism of this story is the righteousness of Susan’s great uncle who risked his life to save another family. This story speaks to the tremendous power that human beings have to do what is right and just.”
Christmas with family helps ailing mom get over loss of ‘dream cure’ Chicago to make sure she could handle the treatment. All was expected to go well, she said. Headley even planned to wait until after Christmas to undergo the procedure once her test results showed she was a go. The idea was to spend the holiday with her kids in case she didn’t survive the treatment. But, due to her secondto-last test, she wasn’t given the chance. Doctors detected the onset

A single Kanata mom says spending Christmas with her four kids is what’s helping her get over being denied her “dream cure” due to an oncoming heart condition. Stephanie Headley first made headlines after announcing her fundraising campaign in the spring of 2014 for a dangerous stem cell transplant to cure her rare autoimmune disease that will otherwise kill her. Her story hit the front pages again after she received $128,000 from an anonymous donor on July 3, believing that the stem cell transplant could go ahead as planned. But the dream of halting and even reversing her scleroderma which is slowly hardening her body – inside and out – came to an end in October when her last round of testing detected the start of a heart condition. Though the news was and continues to be devastating to Headley, her children and her parents, she said knowing she could spend this Christmas with her family has buoyed their spirits. Combined with the outpouring of support from the community, this has given her the strength and money to pursue other ways of extending her life. “I’m so blessed,” she said. “I really am so blessed.” Headley, a single mom with two teenage and two adult children, was diagnosed with systemic scleroderma in 2001. The rare disease occurs when a person’s own immune system works against them and causes the over-production of collagen, a fibrous protein that

Canada, Headley found survival rates were very low, prompting her to go with Dr. Richard Burt, and American autoimmune specialist in Chicago who helped pioneer the treatment. After finding out she was a candidate for the treatment, Headley began fundraising for $125,000-plus, to cover the total costs of treatment. A month in, Headley and her family had raised $6,000, but saw a major boost in donations on July 3 from one donor. The man handed Headley $128,000 in the form of a bank draft. The donation was nothing short of a miracle for Headley and her family, she said, many of them having the same reaction: “My God, you are going to live.” But before she could undergo the treatment, Headley’s testing had to be re-done in
look to have the same affect, said Headley – dialing down her immune system to slow the disease, while also making her vulnerable to regular sicknesses. The best case scenario is that Headley could see another remission, buying her further time with her family. “We understand more than anybody that this holiday isn’t about gifts, it’s about being together with family.”

The process, which Headley described as “turning to stone” was expected to have already killed her, she said. Despite the death sentence, Headley has survived as her skin and internal organs have continued to harden, causing all sorts issues including joint pain, intestinal difficulties, problems breathing and more. After learning about stem cell transplants, which have effectively cured many autoimmune sufferers including those with scleroderma, Headley thought she had a chance to cure her disease. The dangerous treatment works by stripping a patient of their immune system using chemotherapy, and then using the patient’s own stem cells to re-grow their immune system from the ground up.

Several months later, the family is still reeling from the news, but are working to adjust their focus to find ways Headley can extend her life as long as possible. The family is looking at every option they can, including using cutting-edge therapies, holistic methods and homeopathic medicines. They will all

Vehicles targeted in recent rash of overnight break-ins â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for something bad to happen between the homeowner and the suspect,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Marshall Clark with the Ottawa police break and enter unit. Since Sept. 27, investigators have been called to the scene of 10 break-ins from Kanata to south Ottawa to OrlĂŠans, most recently on Dec. 13 in the Manotick area and Dec. 14 in Centretown. In each case, vehicles have been stolen through the night while homeowners were sleeping. Eight have since been recovered by police. Police believe the thieves take the vehicles in order to get to their next destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just happens to be a car available. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not targeting a specific car,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. A car stolen in OrlĂŠans on Nov. 20 and a motorcycle taken from another residence have not yet been located. So far, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;brazenâ&#x20AC;? thieves have slipped away into the night without being caught and confronted by a homeowner.
Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Under the cover of darkness, a car door opens. A thief reaches in and hits a button, watching and waiting as the garage door of the home slips open. With a quick twist of the garageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior door handle, the thief steps inside the darkened house. Within minutes, car keys, even a purse, wallet or laptop have been pinched unbeknownst to the occupants sleeping upstairs. Back out into the night, the thief drives off in the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, which will inevitably be ditched along a street somewhere in the city. Concerns over a rash of unsolved car thefts during overnight residential breakins that have plagued the city since the end of September have prompted Ottawa police break-and-enter investigators to urge homeowners to take extra steps to ensure their safety and protect their belongings.

Ensure mail and newspapers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be delivered during an extended absence, and arrangements should be made to ensure driveways and walkways are regularly cleared of snow so that would-be thieves think someone is home. Clark said residents should not place large empty television boxes, for example, at the curb for recycling pickup day after Christmas day.

OSEG lowers Lansdowne parking prices
Performances Begin December 18th
67’s, concession stand costs to also go down Ottawa West News staff
Based on complaints from fans, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced it will lower parking rates and ticket prices for Ottawa 67’s games to make visiting TD Place at Lansdowne Park more affordable. The entertainment group released the price changes on Dec. 16, which will see parking rates for Lansdowne’s underground garage decrease to $1.50 per half hour. The rate will be in effect seven days a week with the exception of large-scale event days that have a projected attendance of over 15,000. For Ottawa 67’s game days, the change will reduce parking rates from $15 to $9 and fans can order parking online in advance for $8. There will be no extra fees for games that go longer than three hours and advanced parking reservations will offer drivers access to a reserved parking area. Ticket prices for 67’s games will be reduced by $4, changing the cost

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announces it has made changes to ticket, parking and concession stand prices at Lansdowne. for a game-day ticket for an adult to as low as $18 and children’s price to $13. There will also be a change to prices at the concession stands, with a number of menu items to be priced under $5. This will be introduced in January 2015. Jeff Hunt, president of OSEG Sports, said these changes were based on complaints from fans about the high costs to visit the park.
“You talked, we listened,” Hunt said. “Many of our Lansdowne visitors perceived that prices for parking, 67’s tickets and food and beverage services were too high,” Hunt added the changes to the parking prices are also aimed at improving the flow of traffic within the garage. For more information about ticket and parking prices or events at Lansdowne visit Ottawa67s.com or TDPlace.ca.

Manotick’s Fritsch captures Web.com Q-school title Ottawa West News staff
He claimed the lead midway through the golf championship. By the end it was no contest. Manotick’s Brad Fritsch won the grueling six-round
Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament (Q-school) by a remarkable seven strokes, earning himself full status on the PGA development tour in 2015. On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Fritsch – coming off two full
Mary W alsh
seasons on the PGA Tour – closed things out in style, posting his fourth round in the 60s (66) to win going away at -27. His closest pursuers finished at -20. The 37-year-old Manotick golfer, who now calls Hol-
ly Springs, North Carolina home, opened with an evenpar 72 last Thursday, Dec. 11. Things started rolling in the right direction on Day 2 (Friday) when he posted a seven-under 64 on the PGA National Resort and Spa’s Champion course at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The next day, playing the Fazio course, he fired a blistering 65, pushing his total to -14 and claiming his first overnight lead. He would not look back.
Fritsch, who has been sponsored by the Ottawa Senators the past two years, continued his torrid pace with yet another 65 on Sunday to push his lead to six strokes. A comparatively mundane 70 on Day 5 (Monday) saw his lead narrow to five shots but he pulled away on Tuesday’s final round, leaving nothing to chance. An eagle on the par-5 third hole followed by a birdie on the fourth, had the gap back up to six shots over Andrew
Landry of the United States. Four more birdies and a pair of bogeys gave him a total of 401 for the six rounds and the seven-shot victory. As Q-school medalist, Fritsch earned $25,000 and is “guaranteed fully-exempt status” on the Web.com Tour next year, according to the tour’s website pgatour.com/ webcom. Last year’s tour schedule included 26 stops from February to September with purses ranging from $550,000 to $1 million.

Twin Elms Rugby Park in danger of shutting down Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
The home of rugby in Ottawa is at risk of closing down. Twin Elm Rugby Park, which has served as the home ground for Ottawa rugby since 1975, could shut its doors for good by the end of the winter if the four clubs that own the facility do not come up with $40,000. “The worst case scenario and immediate danger is that if you haven’t got enough money to pay your creditors, you get shut down,” said Andrew Bailes, the president of the park. “We have a series of costs and we don’t have the funds to cover them.” Since its founding, the park, which is run by a board of volunteers, has become the centre of the city’s rugby
community and has hosted many international matches between Team Canada and visiting sides. The current board took over in 2014 and hired a parttime general manager to turn around the facility’s finances, which were already in dire straits, Bailes said. “Twin Elm has often gotten to this point every now and then,” he said. “It has often been in a precarious financial position.” The park’s main streams of revenue are from fees the four owner clubs pay, field rentals and sales from the facility’s restaurant and bar, Bailes said. The harsh winter last year delayed the start of the rugby season in Ottawa until midMay and caused a couple of the park’s big events to be
canceled, leading to shrinking revenues and exacerbating the rugby park’s financial woes. Because of this, and despite its hiring of a general manager, the new board was not able to get the park’s books back in the black. “We just weren’t able to climb out of it this year,” Bailes said. This was not the first time the park has experienced a financial ultimatum. In 1980, the facility’s board was given notice from its bank to either reduce its loan by $80,000, or lose the park. The four owner clubs, which are the Ottawa Beavers, Bytown Blues, Ottawa Indians and Ottawa Irish, rallied to each raise $20,000 within a month to save the facility. Hoping to recreate that success, the board has launched

Bailes said. The park is also applying for funding from the city and the Ontario Trillium Foundation to replace its roof, a project that will cost $150,000.

Christmas Traditions and Animals
It used to be a familiar sight at Christmas in this country: the nativity scene, presided over by sheep, goats, often a donkey and maybe a cow. There are a lot of less familiar Christmas traditions around the world that involve animals. You may be surprised how many. In Ukraine, the Christmas Eve Supper features a humble and reverent 12-dish meal in honour of the 12 apostles spreading food for the soul throughout the world. The dishes contain no meat or dairy products to show respect for the animals that shared their place of shelter and were present for the

These traditions are delightful and come from a time where people recognized that their fates were tied to those of the animals. Now, our mostly urban lifestyles are disconnected both from nature and our sources of food. We may see the welfare of animals as a moral imperative, but seldom as connected to our own survival in the way our ancestors did. Have you created a modern version of animal holiday traditions? Do you buy your pet a Christmas present? The holidays are a great time to think about how animals are an important part of our lives today.

birth of Christ. In Latvia, during the yuletide season, Latvian “mummers,” or people who dress up as entertainers during certain events, would dress up as animals such as bears or horses and parade from house to house in villages singing and dancing to ward off evil. A common tradition is the “belief” that animals talk on Christmas Eve. According to an old tradition, some farmers in Denmark feed their animals especially well, because since on the Christmas Eve animals can talk, it would not be nice to hear bad words on this special night.
