12-year-old ‘Matthew the Brave’ inspires everyone around him

By Jeff Morris Barrhaven Independent

His family and friends call him Matthew the Brave.

It’s a cute nickname for a kid. But when you learn about his story and what he endures every day of his life, Matthew Paravan’s nickname suddenly rings with poignancy.

The 12-year-old boy spent the first six weeks of 2019 in Roger Neilson House adjacent to CHEO. “He was in Roger Neilson House for pain management,” his mom, Stephanie, explained.

Matthew had a seizure so violent that it dislocated his hip. The seizures are a part of his life – something he has to deal with not just daily, but several times an hour.

“On a good day, Matthew will only have 30-50 seizures a day,” Stephanie said. “But on a bad day, he will have more than 200.”

And through it all, Mat-

thew the Brave had only one request at Roger Neilson House.

“He loves sports,” his mom said. “He loves the Ottawa Senators. The cable package there didn’t have all the sports channels. He loves to watch the games, and his favourite show is TSN Sports Centre with Jay and Dan. He couldn’t watch it when he got there.”

Stephanie and her husband, Bruno, will be guests at the 12th annual Maddy’s Gala Saturday. Stephanie will pour her heart out to hundreds of unfamiliar faces at the emotionally charged annual fundraiser for Roger Neilson House, which is Eastern Ontario’s children’s hospice.

“It will be my fourth year attending Maddy’s Gala,” she said with a nervous smile.

Maddy’s Gala was started in 2008 by friends of the Otto family. Maddy Otto was a girl ready to go into kindergarten when she woke up from a

nap. According to her father, Dean, Maddy “just didn’t look right. She was kind of droopy, like something was wrong.”

Dean and Jeanine Otto took their daughter to CHEO, and shortly after their arrival, Maddy had a seizure. She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

On July 17, 2007, Maddy Otto passed away at Roger’s House two days after being admitted into CHEO. She died peacefully, surrounded by a strong and loving family and close friends.

Maddy’s Gala, originally planned as a one-shot deal intended to raise $10,000 for Roger Neilson House, has become the hospice’s major fundraising event of the year.

Dean and Jeanine Otto and their daughter, Hannah, have been responsible for raising more than three quarters of a million dollars as a legacy for Maddy.

He was admitted to Roger Neilson House for pain management after a violent seizure resulted in a dislocated hip.

Barrhaven Independent a finalist for four provincial newspaper awards From the Other Side columnist Jeff Morris a finalist for best column, best humour column in Ontario Special to the Independent TORONTO -- The Barrhaven Independent is a finalist for four Ontario Community Newspaper Association awards.

The OCNA announced the finalists for its 2018 OCNA Better Newspaper Competition Awards last week, selecting three entries as finalists in each category. The OCNA represents more than 250 community newspapers and publications in Ontario and Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. The winners will be announced at the OCNA Better Newspaper Competition Gala April 5 in Toronto.

The Independent is a finalist for Best Arts and Enter-

tainment Story for a feature on St. Mother Teresa High School student Rob Kemp, who gave up high school football to take part in the school’s Cappies play. Kemp, who is also a theatrical makeup expert, won the Best Male Actor Award at the Cappies last year for his portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

The Independent is also a finalist in the Best Sports and Recreation Story for a feature on the growing amount of abuse that youth and high school football officials are subjected to. The story was triggered by an incident in which a 15-year-old player and his father assaulted a 68-year-old official in the parking lot after a National

The Independent’s From the Other Side column, written by Jeff Morris, is up for both of the OCNA’s columnist awards. Morris is up for both the OCNA Columnist of the Year and Humour Columnist of the Year awards, making him the second writer to ever be up for both awards in the same year. Morris was the OCNA Humour Columnist of the Year in 2006 and has been a runner-up three times since then. He was the OCNA Columnist of the Year in 2008.

Last year, Morris won the Stephen Shaw Award as the province’s reporter of the year for the second time.

“We are a lot smaller and

leaner than most of the other publications in the province, but we have a great team,” Morris said. “Mike Carroccetto is a world class photographer, Charlie Senack is turning into a great young journalist, and Gary Coulombe is the most dedicated person I have ever worked with. It’s great for our team when we all work so hard and we are recognized by our peers from across the province.”

The Independent placed fourth as the Honourable Mention winner in judging for Best Editorial.

The Independent’s sister publication, the Winchester Press, is a finalist as one of the top three newspapers in its circulation class in Ontario.

Firefighters snuff out Cedarview garage fire before it reaches home A firefighter battles a garage fire at 818 Cedarview Rd. near the Cedarhill golf course on February 7.

A passerby who called 9-1-1 to report smoke visible from a residential address Thursday, Feb. 7 near the Cedarhill golf course probably helped limit the spread of a large garage fire.

Firefighters were called just after 1:30pm to an attached garage fire with smoke and flames showing at 818 Cedarview Rd. Crews arriving on scene and confirmed heavy black smoke.

Firefighters engaged in a rapid fire attack inside the twostorey garage.

A 2nd alarm was declared soon after in order to help limit the fire to the large garage and protect the connected residence.

The fire was declared under control at 2:32 p.m.. A loss stopped was declared at 2:41 p.m..

There were no reported injuries. No damage estimates have been released. A fire investigator was dispatched to the scene to determine the cause.

brave continues from page 1 The beautiful and wonderful work the Otto family has done goes far beyond the money they have helped raise.

“They have been an inspiration for us,” Stephanie said. “Our stories are different, but there are a lot of parallels in the lives of our families. They are incredible people.”

While Maddy’s passing was sudden, Matthew the Brave has spent more than half his life fighting off pain through the constant seizures.

He was five when he had his first seizure while at Charleston Lake.

His parents didn’t see it coming. Why would they?

“He was just a normal kid who loved to play hockey and baseball and soccer,” Stephanie said. “He was a normal, typical kid and we lived a normal life.”

In the fall of that year, he suffered more seizures. They became more frequent. Tests and MRI’s found abnormal electric activity in Matthew’s brain, as well as a small brain lesion. In February, 2013, he started to lose the ability to move his left arm. That was a life changer for the Paravans. Matthew would spend

the next 18 months at SickKids and Holland Bloorview Hospitals in Toronto, and CHEO in Ottawa. Matthew the Brave would lose his ability to walk, talk and eat solid food. Stephanie gave up her job to stay with him in Toronto, while Bruno and Matthew’s older brother, Nick, would visit on weekends. The community has come together for fundraisers for them over the years, most notably at Greenfields Pub in Barrhaven and at Marlborough Pub in North Gower.

Matthew communicates with cards for “yes” and “no”, and he has an alphabet board to spell out ideas.

After returning to CHEO, Matthew was diagnosed with Parry-Romberg Syndrome, a rare auto-immune disease that can lead to neurological problems. Matthew’s condition is still a mystery, as no one – not even the Mayor Clinic in Minnesota – has been able to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Stephanie said that through it all, Matthew has been positive, filled with humour, and incredibly selfless.

“He loves football,” she said. “He loves the Patriots and Tom Brady. He had this

idea that for Christmas, he asked for tickets to an NFL game in Buffalo. He knew he would never be able to go, but he wanted his brother to be able to go. He loves and admires Nick so much that he wanted to do that for him.

So Bruno and Nick went to a game in December. That’s the kind of kid Matthew is. He is always thinking of others, and he doesn’t want his condition to hold anyone back from doing the things they want to do.”

Super Bowl Sunday was a special day at Roger Neilson House. The Paravans had a Super Bowl Party there, and Matthew was able to have his bed wheeled into the lounge so they could all watch the game together.

“We had a poster on the wall with everyone’s predictions,” Stephanie said.

“Matthew wanted there to be Super Bowl food for everyone, even though he can’t eat. In the afternoon, we watched the Puppy Bowl – Matthew loved that. And then we watched the Super Bowl. Other people from Roger Neilson House came down and joined us. It was an amazing day. He was really happy the Patriots won.”

Matthew is looking forward to being at home again.

The dream for the entire family is that, someday, he can go to school again. But for now, the Paravans are still in one-day-at-a-time mode.

“Roger Neilson House was incredible for us,” she said. “There is so much love and compassion there and it is such a beautiful place.

They did everything they could to make sure Matthew was comfortable there.”

Including changing the cable package.

“When they realized Matthew couldn’t watch Jay and Dan, they changed the cable package for his room,” she said. “He was able to watch them every morning for the rest of his stay there. It seems like a little thing, but it’s the little things like that that make all the difference in the Through all of Matthew’s difficulties, there is no shortage of love in the Paravan family. Pictured with Matthew, seated, are his father, Bruno; his mother, Stephanie; and his brother, Nick.

world for someone who is suffering in pain. Jay and dan put a smile on his face, and that means everything.”

Matthew’s bed was wheeled into the lounge at Roger Neilson House and he had his Tom Brady jersey on for his family’s Super Bowl Party. Although Matthew cannot eat solid food, he insisted that his family had traditional Super Bowl Party food, including the football cake being cut by his ther

Snow removal team working hard to keep Barrhaven streets safe

Winter weather weary is what I think most of us are.

Of course there are those who love the cold and the snow, the skiing and the snowmobiling, ice fishing and snowshoeing and everything in between but I am not one of those. Some are saying we should set aside more money in the snow budget because this is Ottawa and we have miserable weather but quite frankly this year’s new total of $70 million is all I am willing to support.

Yes there are years when we go over the snow budget but I am not willing to sit on $100k for unpredictable weather. To do that it means one of two choices. We scrape money away from something else and like me I know that every one of you can likely come up with a laundry list of tax funded areas that you would be willing to claw back to throw at snow or two, taxes can be raised to cover more snow $ in the budget. Another undetermined factor is timing as to when the winter weather arrives and what form it comes in. Rush hour traffic Monday to Friday presents the greatest challenge. I know that the snow policy that is one for all across the City fails the “burbs” but this week speaking with one of my downtown colleagues I am told the policy doesn’t work there either. We need to be nimble. In Barrhaven we have two snow teams.

We have Moodie yard and another in Manotick that

serves Half Moon Bay and Stonebridge. The density in Half Moon Bay creates so many challenges that snow clearing in the Mary Honeywell area doesn’t have. It also costs us nine times as much operationally.

Which brings me to the point of our geography. We are a huge city of about 2700 square kilometres and it is very expensive to maintain all those roads that stretch from Halifax to Vancouver, sidewalks from Halifax to Regina. Add to that we have the worst weather of any world capital city and of course it costs us more.

All I can say is we have a team that works very hard to keep us safe, to help you out, and to do the job as quickly as they can. Weekends this winter are opportunities to clean up the streetscape of Barrhaven.

Community Police Message

Motorists can stay safe in the winter by driving safely.

These tips can help you and your family get around safely over the winter season.

Be aware and be cautious.

Weather conditions can deteriorate quickly or change as you travel.

Slow down. Posted speed limits reflect ideal conditions, not wet or snowy conditions.

Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. On slippery road surfaces, double the two-second rule.

Avoid sudden turns of the steering wheel, and sudden braking and accelerating that could cause a skid.

Avoid situations where you may have to break suddenly on a slippery surface.

See and be seen. Always clear ice and snow from all vehicle windows to maxi-

mize visibility, and turn on your vehicle’s full lighting system when blowing snow and white-outs impair your visibility.

Make sure you know how to use your braking system in all weather and road conditions.

Allow more time to get to your destination. Extra time is required to negotiate snow-covered roads.

Invest in winter tires.

They improve traction on the road during changing winter road conditions.

There’s no quick fix There is no easy fix to the problem with Ontario’s waiting list for autism services.

There simply isn’t enough money to solve the problem, and there are not enough specialists and resources.

And overhauling the existing system, which was clearly broken, was a no-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Nepean MPP Lisa MacLeod, has always held the issue of autism close to her heart. Now, as the Progressive Conservative Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, MacLeod made her first attempt while with a governing party to tackle the flawed system of how service is provided and the never-ending waiting lists for autism treatments and services.

The overhaul announced by MacLeod earlier this month include giving funding for treatment directly to families instead of regional service providers, dependent on age, with up to $140,000 for a child in treatment from the ages of two to 18. Families will receive up to $20,000 a year until their child turns six. From that time until they are 18 it would be $5,000 a year.

The reaction was predictable. There were protests in front of her constituency office on Fallowfield Road and demands for her resignation. The previous Liberal government faced similar protests three years ago when they announced that funding for intensive therapy for children over four years of age would be cut off. The Liberals backed down from their plan, but the Ford government does not seem like one to cave into the demands and protests of any special interest group, including parents of autistic children.

Ontario Autism Coalition President Laura Kirby-McIntosh pointed out that intensive therapy can cost between $60-80k per year. Families, she said, will go through their funding quickly. She said they will fight the latest changes from the province.

Complicating the optics is the fact that Bruce McIntosh resigned from his post as a Progressive Conservative staffer in response to the new autism plan. McIntosh is Kirby-McIntosh’s husband, and is also the former President of the coalition. He was working for MacLeod’s parliamentary assistant, Amy Fee, who is the parent of two children with autism spectrum disorder.

It’s a difficult situation for MacLeod. She had been told that under the old Liberal program, there were two-year wait times with no hope and no end in sight. She added that early intervention is when autism support makes the greatest difference.

The government is also doubling the funding for five diagnostic hubs to $5.5 million a year for the next two years to address the diagnosis waiting list of 2,400 children, who currently wait on average for 31 weeks. The new program has the same annual budget of $321 million as the Liberal program.

Clearly, it’s not enough, but it’s a first step. But there is no easy fix for this situation which continues to grow as the number of children diagnosed in the autism spectrum grows.

The nightmare of being a hockey parent I had this dream.

It was 20 minutes into the future.

Randy the Hockey Dad, my old neighbour, was suddenly my neighbour again. I went outside to get my briefcase out of the car, and he was sitting on his step, rolling up the rim on his Tim’s cup.

He was unshaven with bags that looked like suitcases under his eyes. He looked like there was a Guns ‘N Roses concert in his bedroom while he was trying to sleep the night before.

“I’m done,” he said, barely mustering enough energy to look my way as he spoke.

“Competitive hockey finally did me in.”

Randy is the father of two boys and a girl who all play hockey.

“Try again,” he said as he looked at his cup. He took the last gulp of his triple-triple.

“It’s like a metaphor for my life.”

I asked him what was wrong.

“When Jordan started playing hockey, I didn’t realize what I was getting into,” he said. “Then, back in the summer, he told me that all his friends were trying out for the Triple-A team, and he wanted to try out, too.

His coaches from last year encouraged him.”

He paused.

“He made it, and next thing you know, I’m getting carpal tunnel from writing cheques.

Registration was a few thousand dollars.

Then there are the tournaments. We’re heading to Toronto on one weekend and then Quebec City the next and then to Oakville and then to Kitchener and then to Toronto again. Each one of them costs me a fortune.

“And Logan is playing Double-A this year because they don’t have Triple-A yet in Atom, but the schedule is nuts for him, too. Practices all the time and games all over Eastern Ontario for both of them. I’m like a freaking Uber driver every night and all weekend.

The only meals I get are the odd Baconator from the Wendy’s drive thru or maybe a McChicken or maybe a pre-wrapped egg salad sandwich from the gas station when I fill up, which seems like it’s three times a week.

“And I never see Sarah anymore,” he added. “I’m driving one of the boys – or both of them – and she is taking Emily to her competitive practices and games. I think the girls’ competitive schedule is even crazier than the boys’ one. They went to Philadephia to play in a tournament last weekend, and in the semi-finals, it was the same four teams that they play in their league around here all the time. Next week, they go to Boston, and they will probably play the same teams again.

“And it goes beyond the games and practices and the tournaments. All of the kids on Jordan’s team are getting private shooting and stickhandling and skating lessons, so we have to sign him up and pay for all of that stuff just so he can keep up with the other kids. And then in order to keep his spot in Triple-A he needs to have a personal trainer, FROM THE so I have had to pay for that. They told me if he wants to be considered for a scholarship to the States, he needs to have these things.

by Jeff Morris “And when are they supposed to do their homework? Sarah and I take turns sitting with them and helping them with their assignments. I got a freaking C on the history project I did for Emily on Louis Riel. Can you believe it? I’m not doing very well in math either. I don’t understand what they are teaching kids in math class anymore.

“And then there is a fee we have to pay Rick. He is the guy who does the videos for all of the games, but his side business is that he puts together highlight packages for all the players to send to all of the college recruiters and coaches.

“And I got in a big fight with Sarah about it because I think it is just too much for us and it is like an anchor around our necks and she is all like, ‘Well, we’re not going to say no to them. They need this.’ So we had to take out a mortgage on the house just to pay for all of this stuff.

“And then after all of that Emily went off on me at breakfast this morning because the sports psychologist we were told we had to hire for her to improve her confidence and focus told her at their session last night that I am pushing her too hard, and that I am trying to live my life vicariously through her hockey career. What? I don’t even know what that means. And then Sarah takes her side and tells me that she and Emily are going to buy a horse and take riding lessons, because the sports psychologist said it would be therapeutic for her. Do you know how much a horse costs?”

At that point, I woke up in a cold sweat.

I looked outside. Randy wasn’t my next door neighbour after all, and it was all just a dream.

“Where are the kids?” I asked the Diva.

“They’re downstairs playing X-Box or Fortnite or something,” she replied.

I smiled.

For the first time ever, Fortnite didn’t seem like such a bad thing for the kids to be playing for so long.

Every culture offers a rich heritage with beauty and value THis week,

THIS MONTH

by Larry Ellis

Multiculturalism is a term we hear every day but what does it mean? Essentially it is the presence of, or support for the presence of, several distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a society. It is a term that should be saying – respect for the entire family, regardless of nationality, race, or ethnic identification. Every culture has a rich heritage from which everyone may gain something valuable and beautiful.

Today we see so much conflict and hatred in the world as we fight amongst ourselves. We really have been blessed with unique gifts – earth and its resources but we are not using them for the benefit of all mankind. Should many starve while others have more than they know what to do with? We should not fight with each other because of religion, race, colour or belief. Don’t we have more to share because of our diversity?

YOU HAVE THE POWER

TO GIVE LIFE

People have all kinds of beliefs, wear different kinds of clothes and pray in different ways, in different places, to different Gods but, everyone is special!

Are you a Christian or a Muslim, a Buddhist or a Sikh, or Hindu? Do all your friends believe the same things you do? Perhaps not!

Maybe one of your friends wears a Sari and another wears a Shalwar, or a Toki or Romala, a Hijab, a Star of David or a Cross.

Special to the Barrhaven Independent Thanks to a group of people, mostly from Barrhaven, it was a special night at the Ravines Retirement Home near Prince of Wales and Colonnade.

The residents enjoyed a special celebration when the Ottawa Senators travelled to Toronto to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs Wed., Feb. 6. “The Suite Life at the Ravines” was an event cooked up

by Ravines Marketing Manager and Barrhaven Business Advantage President Melissa Spidell with Barrhaven Independent publisher Jeff Morris, after a breakfast meeting at Broadway.

Morris and his wife, Caroline Chescoe, a suite hostess at Ottawa Senators games, came up with the idea of recreating the experience of being in a suite at a retirement home for seniors who love hockey but might not have the opportun-

Residents of the Ravines cheer on the Ottawa Senators during the Sens-Leafs game Feb. 6. ity to get to an NHL game in person and enjoy the comforts of being in a suite.

The Ravines was a perfect fit.

“The residents love hockey, and they are always getting together and wearing their jerseys when there is a game on,” Spidell said. “We have a big, beautiful theatre room, and it

There is only one way to find out….undergo a hearing assessment!

All joking aside, a hearing assessment is an invaluable part of your overall health review.

With studies now showing links between untreated hearing loss and memory, cognition, falls, social engagement, annual earnings and depression, not to mention the impact on your relationships, you will want to be proactive with even the slightest hearing loss!

The good news is that today’s technology allows for a great variety of solutions to meet all of your unique hearing needs. Hearing is surprisingly complex however and so finding that right solution is not a simple process. To be successful, the assessments have to be thorough, the selection unlimited and the flexibility maximized.

Offering just that is Hearing Freedom, a locally owned, grown, and operated clinic. Their grassroots approach is unfortunately rare in today’s

The residents had a hockey party in the Ravines theatre to watch the Olympics last winter. It was of special interest to everyone at the Ravines as Spidell’s brother, Eric O’Dell, was playing for Team Canada.

market where retail settings, larger clinics and manufacturer owned chains dominate.

The unique and refreshing approach that sets Hearing Freedom apart from other providers was established over 15 years ago. As a newly graduated Audiologist, Rosanne McNamee, Doctor of Audiology, had many interviews with local hearing companies. At each establishment she was disappointed to find the same thing; the interviews had nothing to do with her knowledge and skills, they rather focused on the number of hearing aid units she was expected to sell and the company’s affiliation to a given Manufacturer.

“That was not my idea of proper hearing health care,” says McNamee. “I came into this profession to improve my patients’ quality of life. I wanted to focus on my patients’ needs, not sales.

I wanted to be able to consider everything available to them in the market, not just the product lines that provided my employer the biggest

grity Top Quality Integrity s No Shortcuts

the product lines providing the employer the biggest profit margins. I wanted to be driven by satisfied customers and by

andIntegrity Top Quality and with No Shortcuts with

profit margins. I wanted to be driven by satisfied customers and by the smiles on their and their loved one’s faces.” And so she decided to set up her own business, doing it her way and putting patients first.

At Hearing Freedom, the patient is an active part of the decision-making process and there is no predetermined product or plan. Each and every patient’s intervention plan is as unique as they are. The experience begins with a thorough assessment which is followed by a detailed needs assessment. Throughout, the patient’s opinions and concerns are held paramount. “We devote all the time necessary to ensure our patients’ hearing needs are met.” explains McNamee, “We offer a 90-day trial period on all hearing aids. This extensive trial gives patients the confidence that they have chosen the right solution for them, their lifestyle and hearing needs.”

In addition, there are no Hearing Instrument Practitioners or Hearing Instrument Specialists

at Hearing Freedom. Patients are rather seen by bilingual Audiologists, clinicians qualified to service both children and adults, whether they are private pay or third party supported (WCB, VAC, etc).

“Not only is hearing complex, so are today’s hearing aids,” McNamee explains. “Dealing with the most qualified health care professional, in the most independent setting, is crucial.” At Hearing Freedom you can be certain that you have chosen the best place to trust with your hearing needs.

So, if you believe in your right to the best, fullest and most customized service available, make sure you book your appointment with Hearing Freedom. You will not regret your short drive to Manotick.

Although the Sens lost the game by one goal, it was an exciting game and all of the guests enjoyed the evening.

“We had some people tell us this was the best event we have ever had at the Ravines,” said Spidell.

“We can’t thank all of the Canadian Tire Centre staff members who volunteered to come out and make this such a memorable night for everyone.”

B-Sharp brings world class skate sharpening to Barrhaven Behind every success story we here about, there is always someone behind the scenes.

Joe Baker is one of those people.

When Alaine Chartrand of the Nepean Skating Club went to the World Championships and when Stonebridge’s Paul Parkinson went to the Sochi Olympics, their journeys were assisted by

Baker’s skate sharpening precision and expertise. He has also sharpened skates

B-Sharp is a skate sharpening business located in front of Costco in Barrhaven. Owner Joe Baker sharpens skates for everyone from recreational skaters and young hockey players to world class figure skaters.

for Matthew Markell, one of Canada’s top up-and-coming male figure skaters.

Baker, a former international level competitive figure skater and a Skate Canada Certified Figure Skating Coach and Power Instructor, is the owner of B-Sharp, a skate sharpening and skate accessory shop located on Strandherd Drive behind Montana’s, in front of the Barrhaven Costco.

Baker started B-Sharp in 2014 and was located in Craig Henry, and moved to Barrhaven earlier this hockey and skating season. Baker and his wife have been longtime Barrhaven residents, and they had a child the same week that the business moved.

“It’s a great location for us,” Baker said. “We had a lot of regular customers from Barrhaven, and we also have people that come to us from out of town. We are right off the 416 now and it is easy for everyone to get to us.”

A native of Nova Scotia, Baker learned the craft of skate sharpening from his father, Dale Baker, who owned and operated Blades and Things. Being a competitive figure skater and a coach has helped him under-

stand the needs and specifics that figure skaters want in their skates. Baker also does a large business serving hockey players of all ages and skill levels.

While B-Sharp is a well known name in the skating community, the move of their store to Barrhaven has created some humorous moments.

A few people have walked in to B-Sharp thinking they were a music store rather than a skate sharpening business. One lady came in with a clarinet.

“We weren’t able to help her,” Joe said with a smile and laugh.

One of the fundamental principals at B-Sharp is to give back to the community.

Baker has been a contributor to the Do it For Daron campaign through the Nepean Wildcats girls hockey club.

He has also been a contributor to various Hockey Fights Cancer programs.

“The community is what we are all about,” Baker said.

“Barrhaven has been great to us through the years, and we have a great opportunity here to give back to the community. It’s important to us.”

In addition to their expert sharpening services, B-Sharp carries a full line of skat-
