The MessengerNEWS Local commuters one step closer to light rail as Phase 2 approved

By Charlie Senack Shovels will soon be in the ground for Phase 2 of Ottawa’s light rail transit project.

On Wednesday, March 6, council voted 19-3 in favour of the $4.6-billion Stage 2 transit expansion.

It will connect the city by train west to Baseline station and Moodie Drive, east to Montreal Road and Place d’Orleans, and south to the airport and Bowesville Road in Riverside South.

“I think phase two is vitally important for the east end, the west end and the south end of the city,” Mayor Jim Watson said. “We can’t get on to going to Kanata, Stittsville and Barrhaven without Phase 2.”

Many councillors, however, were reluctant about voting for the Stage 2 LRT project, when they received hundreds of pages of documents to look over only 12 days before the meeting.

Somerset ward councillor Catherine McKenney brought a motion forward to delay the vote until March 27, which was supported by six councillors including Ward 22 representative, Carol Anne Meehan. It was voted down by council 16-6.

Meehan, a first time councillor, brought many concerns to the council table during Wednesday’s meeting — including the city singing a contract with SNC-Lavalin, a group that has been under fire recently for their involvement with projects around the country.

“SNC-Lavalin was the lowest bidder and their projects have ended up — well just simply to say… there have been major problems,” Meehan said.

“They bid low and they are under delivering.”

Despite her concerns, Meehan voted in favour of the Stage 2 LRT budget, because she did not want to do anything that would “jeopardize” getting trains out to Riverside South.

The three councillors who voted against the budget were Diane Deans, Rick Chiarelli and Shawn Menard.

Phase 2 will help the residents of Riverside South, as well as those in Manotick, Osgoode and Greely who opt to commute to Riverside South to catch the train there. Riverside South currently houses around 16,000 residents, and is increasing by about 2,000 people a year.

The expansion to Riverside South will start at the existing Greenboro Station in Ottawa South, and will travel

to Limebank Road. In May 2018, it was announced that property developers Urbandale Corporation and Richcraft Developments would throw an additional $30 million into the pot, which would go on top of the $50 million the then Liberal provincial government promised. That brings the total cost of the Trillium Line expansion to $80 million.

At the time, Terry Nichols, president of the Urbandale Corporation, said that the expansion will help serve the residents of Riverside South — especially with the population of the growing community expected to reach 55,000 people within the next ten years. “(It’s) one of the first communities in Ottawa to be built and designed with rail transit already in place prior to a significant of the built out already being completed,” Nichols said in May 2018.

The total cost for the entire Phase 2 expansion is $4,657,445,229 — around $1.2 billion more than what the city estimated before asking for construction bids.

Mayor Watson says he met with Premier Doug Ford earlier this month, who verbally promised that the government would still fund the Stage 2 expansion.

Watson says he expects some “good news” later this month.

Shovels for the project are expected to be in the ground sometime this year. If there are no more delays, the Trillium Line expansion out to Riverside South and the Ottawa Airport is expected to be completed sometime in 2022.

The Confederation Line expansion in the east is expected to be completed by 2024, and its expansion out to the west is expected to be completed by 2025.

Watson says he realizes that their will be traffic and public transportation delays while Stage 2 is being built, but says the city is doing everything they can to keep it to a minimum. He adds that the pros will outweigh the cons, and says this project will determine the future for our city.

“We have taken a very significant step — a historic step — in moving forward with a plan that will help to really determine how our city is going to grow,” Watson said. “How we are going to reduce our GHD footprint, and ultimately how this is going to act as a stimulant for economic development in all parts of the city.”

And for those Barrhaven residents who are wondering

when the trains will be rolling through their neighbourhood, Coun. Jan Harder says that will be happening after Phase 2 is complete. Phase 3 will bring the trains past Baseline Station down the current bus rapid transitway, and into future “Barrhaven Downtown.”

When light rail is connected to Barrhaven, it will open another commuting option for residents of Rideau-Goulbourn.

The Barrhaven station will also serve residents of Manotick, Kars and North Gower, while residents in Richmond will have an option to catch light rail in either Barrhaven or Kanata.

The MessengerCOMMUNITY Thank you to the women of Carleton who continue to inspire us

Friday March 8 was International Women’s Day. This is a great time to reflect on the hard-fought progress of women, especially all the amazing women in Carleton, and those who have supported them.

To celebrate the occasion, I planned a long day of events all across Carleton alongside local city Councillors.

Rideau-Goulbourn Councillor Scott Moffatt’s team and I started off our day by hosting a breakfast reception at Danbys Roadhouse Restaurant located in the beautiful town of Richmond, just steps from my constituency office. I was thrilled to host over 100 people for breakfast.

Then, I enjoyed a delicious lunch in Stittsville at local Legion Branch 618 before heading over to Metcalfe to enjoy high tea at the city of Ottawa Client Service Centre with Councillor George Darouze.

I ended my day with appetizers and great conversation at the Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South, joined by Councillor Carol Anne Meehan.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate all the amazing women across Carleton who continue to inspire us. A special thank you to all the volunteers and venues who made this possible. I

look forward to celebrating again next year!

I would be pleased to attend your business or community association event. Please contact my office for more information or go to https://goldiempp.ca/ invite-goldie Supporting community newspapers On Wednesday March 6 I had the privilege of introducing my very first Private Members’ Bill, the Supporting Ontario’s Community, Rural and Agricultural Newspapers Act, 2019.

If passed, this Act will change the arbitrary requirement that municipal notices be posted in newspapers with a

publishing frequency of weekly or less, which prevents many smaller community newspapers from being able to post these notices, putting them at a competitive disadvantage.

By amending the definition of a “newspaper” to include those which have a publishing frequency of a month or less, I hope my Bill will even the playing field for community newspapers, like the Manotick Messenger, and hopefully give them a new source of revenue.

It would also save municipalities money, as they could specifically target the areas in which they must post notice, as opposed to publishing in a larger newspaper

which has many readers to which the notice is irrelevant.

The People’s Health Care Act

On February 26, Ontario’s government introduced The People’s Health Care Act. This legislation will help build a public health care system centered around patientfirst delivery and redirect money towards front-line services, where it belongs. Part of this Act focuses on consolidating all of the LHINs into one super agency. It will improve patient experience, and provide better and more connected care.

If your local health

related company or organization has any questions or wants more information, please reach out to my office.

We are here to serve

My constituency office is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 pm and I have 4 fulltime employees helping me serve the people of Carleton. If you require assistance on any matter, please contact me at any time. It’s why I’m here. Even if it’s not a provincial issue, I’ll make sure to connect you with the proper office.

GOLDIE GHAMARI,MPP CARLETON Goldie’s story, in her own words: “My parents immigrated to Canada in 1986 – I was only one at the time. They left everything behind in Iran because they believed Canada would give their children a better life and more opportunities. My father tells me that when we landed in Montreal, we only had two suitcases and $50 to our names. My parents worked very hard to build a new life for us in Canada. As new immigrants and then Canadian citizens, they made sure to integrate themselves into Canadian society, and they instilled in my sister and I the importance of respecting and living by our Canadian values.

My father comes from a farming family and he is an electrician, working daily with his hands. After staying at home to raise her two daughters, my mother now gives back to the community by working at a charity for isolated senior citizens My younger sister is an aerospace engineer. My wonderful husband Wayne teaches statistics at Carleton University.

My parents taught me that the road to success comes through hard work, determination and sacrifice.

We have certainly come a long way from where we started in 1986, but I will never forget our humble beginnings.”

St Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate and have some fun

Did you ever wonder where the term “cushy” life came from? Somebody got the idea that if you were rich and enjoying a cushy life, you are living in clover! It came from the idea that cows and bumblebees are lucky to live in a field of clover since the sweet clovers are the favourite food of both cows and bumblebees.

But the cow is the luckiest of two because when the bee sips the clover nectar,

he also picks up pollen on his feet and buzzes away to spread pollen from flower to flower, making sure the clover will keep blooming so he and he cow can continue “living in clover”.

You know the legend that Saint Patrick used the three-in-one clover leaf to explain the Trinity, saying God, like the leaf, is one yet thee-in-one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And you know that if you are

THIS WEEK,

THIS MONTH

by Larry Ellis lucky enough to find a four-leaf clover, you must pick it up and keep it with you - to bring you more luck. Now suppose you found a four leaf clover on

Saint Patrick’s Day and you were wearing a green shirt or skirt, you surely would be lucky and soon living in clover!

Legends can be fun and

it’s fun to think about the cows and bumblebees and clover and shamrocks as we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. Always take time to celebrate and have fun.

You can tell if you have any Irish heritage, not by your looks or the country you hail from, but by your character. If you have a twinkle in your eye, a song upon your lips, a kind word on your tongue, and two feet planted solidly on

good earth - then saints be praised, you’re Irish!

A few Irish Toasts “May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door”. “May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live”.

I think I may have caught March Madness!

Letters to the Editor Infrastructure upgrades in Richmond should happen before growth, not after The Editor,

In response to the Messenger Editorial of March 1st “Big City Problems for Rural Infrastructure.”

Richmond is set to double in size over the next decade, with that comes benefits and challenges.

Managing this growth must be a priority for this term of

council. Richmond’s residents want to maintain our small village charm while at the same time, ensuring our busy streets are safe.

Once development starts in earnest, we will be welcoming new neighbours to our village. This will be good for the many small local businesses, community groups and organizations

that call Richmond home.

With our new neighbours also comes growing pains like clogged roads, the need for more sidewalks and highlights a lack of recreational opportunities that exist to keep our kids active and engaged.

But therein lies the problem, Richmond’s Community Design Plan sets out

Reader critical of MPP’s ‘amateurish at best’ press release The Editor, Whatever happened to basic literacy skills in this country? Like many Messenger readers, I was interested to read what Carleton MPP Goldie Ghamari had to say about her party’s “action to help more families with autism,” to quote her words from her page three article in the most recent edition of the Messenger.

What I encountered was not only unhelpful, it was almost unreadable.

Her opening sentence on autism read, “on February 6, the government announced that 23,000 children struggling while on waitlists for autism support programs will finally receive financial support to them afford autism services [sic].”

Her second sentence wasn’t any better, con-

cluding with, “allowing more families of children and youth with autism can receive service [sic].”

Throughout the article, Ms Ghamari refers to herself in the first person and it concludes with, “Goldie Your voice at Queen’s Park,” which would seem to suggest that she actually wrote it. Knowing the level of message control exerted by her party, that seems unlikely, but in future Ms Ghamari may want to at least read through the material she’s

being asked to sign her name to. Without a doubt, presenting such a hastily cobbled together cut-andpaste job as a finished product looks amateurish at best.

The question we have to ask ourselves is, can a government that isn’t capable of drafting a coherent press release actually be capable of drafting sound public policy?

what our village will receive in upgrades to accommodate this growth, but we won’t see several of these infrastructure upgrades until the majority of the new homes are built. To be fair to the residents in Richmond, these essential up-

grades should be completed before the village expands, not after. We should not have to bear with the undue strain and pressure that rapid growth brings.

Councillors in other wards have worked with developers to negotiate

front-ending agreements to have the growth-related infrastructure built years before initially planned, why is Richmond being left behind?

Rideau-GoulbournREPORT

Councillor addresses misconceptions of light rail Stage 2 plans

At Ottawa City Hall on March 6th, City Council approved the next phase of the long term light rail plans, known as LRT Stage 2. In recent weeks, there has been much press on this project and not all of it has been accurate.

Seeing as I supported moving forward with Stage 2, I just wanted to use this opportunity to speak to the project and address some recent misconceptions.

To begin, I think it is important to highlight the timeline for Stage 2. This is not something that has been rushed into. During my first six years on Council, we have approved various milestones leading toward extending the initial phase of LRT, which itself began during the 2006-2010 term of Council.

In March 2017, Council approved the procurement process for awarding Stage 2 of LRT. At that time, we set the March 29th, 2019 date for signing the contract. Therefore, this current contract award process has been going on for the last two years.

All bids had to meet certain criteria to get shortlisted and then the successful bidder was chosen from the short list. You

RIDEAUGOULBOURN

WARD REPORT

by Councillor Scott Moffatt

have likely heard accusations of rushing the process. As you can see, that is not the case.

Staff have just been following the Council approved schedule.

In terms of the timing of approving Stage 2 before Stage 1 is open and running.

Based on the timeline above, it was never suggested by staff or committed to by Council that one was contingent on the other. The reality is that Stage 1 is close to the finish line and the Rideau Transit Group is under contract to deliver the project. Failure is not an option. Handing over an incomplete project is not an option.

It is essential they get this right and we have made that clear to them. In fact, we haven’t even paid them since February 2018. They are only paid when they reach certain milestones. Rideau Transit Group also has the 30-year maintenance contract for LRT so this

isn’t a group that is going to wrap it up and walk away. It is in their best interest to complete the contract as approved and ensure it operates how we expect it to.

Since Council agreed to a contract date of March 29, 2019, it is not just a simple task to delay a decision to wait for Stage 1 to be operational.

We know the system will open. Stage 1 makes no sense without Stage 2. If we delayed beyond this month, we run the risk of contravening Council’s own procurement process.

Even a six month delay would equate to an inflated construction cost of $100M. Starting over on the procurement process would result in a 1-2 year delay.

Finally, media reports have suggested that LRT does not work in the winter. This is simply not true. RTG has been running trains along the entire 12km track all winter. There were certain times where weather has impacted

the testing but this has been during times that would not be replicated during normal operations. Normal operations on the track will help keep snow clear from the line. Additionally, RTG is sourcing snow melting equipment for the line that could be used overnight while the trains are not running. The one benefit of the delayed open date is that it has afforded RTG more time for winter testing during the worst winter in recent memory.

With the new contract, we also integrate lessons learned from the previous contract.

One such change will be the Liquidated Damages aspect.

In Stage 1, when RTG missed their in service deadline, they were had to pay $1M in liquidated damages. On a $2.1B project, I am not certain that $1M is a significant amount. As a result, the Stage 2 contract will feature a $10M cost assessed should the contractor not meet the handover date as set out in the contract.

2019 Town Hall Series Over the last two months, our Rideau-Goulbourn team

has hosted a number of town hall meetings throughout the ward. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, this has not been an ideal winter. As a result, we had to cancel a few meetings.

While we are still working on rescheduling all of those meetings, we have rescheduled our Richmond Town Hall, which was postponed due to the Richmond Village Association Annual General Meeting. Our town hall meeting in Richmond will be held on Tuesday, April 23rd at 7:00pm at St. Philip’s Parish Hall. Tentatively, we are looking at Monday, April 15th for our Kars Town Hall. Stay tuned for dates for our town halls in Goulbourn, Ashton and Munster.

FENCES & DECKS

In the end, I believe that moving forward with Stage 2 is the right thing to do. During the 2006 election, the sentiment was clear that the public wanted something different from the North-South O-Train proposal. Larry O’Brien was elected and the current plan was born. Over the last eight years, it has been our job to deliver and we have done that so far. The longer we defer the more money this project will cost. LRT Stage 2 will bring rail closer to Manotick in Riverside South and will drastically improve the commute for those on the 283 with a transfer at Bayshore.

The main issues with the 283 in recent years have all taken place along the transitway in the urban core.

If anyone has any questions on this project, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Task Force on Revitalization of the Manotick Core update

The Task Force has begun work on drafting a revitalization plan for the Core of Manotick following several months of collecting data to assist in identifying the key issues and possible solutions. A series of surveys were conducted over the last six months of 2018 to garner feedback from residents, visitors, families, seniors and businesses. The feedback was consistent in identifying the priority issues for everyone: Better Sidewalks 1. and more connectivity between the core and Village neighbourhoods 2.

More unique shops and businesses to fill in vacant storefronts, particularly along Main Street 3.

Improved facades and appearance on Main Street 4.

Solutions to parking in the core The Task Force is working on action plans to address these issues and others and hopes to have a draft plan completed in a few months for presentation to the community. In the meantime, we have already obtained funding for improvements to street signage, street furniture and the gateway gardens at Bridge and Main. These improvements will begin appearing later in the spring. It has also been heartening to see new businesses open their doors in the Village in recent months.

The Task Force is made up of community volunteers and representatives from Manotick BIA, Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association, MVCA, YOMA, Manotick Horticultural Society, Manotick Arts Society and ROSSS.

City launches process to develop Official Plan

The City of Ottawa has officially launched the process for developing a new Official Plan that would take effect when the current one expires in 2031. The Official Plan is a strategic document that guides planning and development and helps to shape the communities within the City boundaries. The discussions are based on the Sounding Board 2036 report which looks at possible future scenarios and how the City could meet challenges and

opportunities in the coming years. The Sounding Board report was developed following consultations with a broad cross section of stakeholders, including the MVCA. The planning process will take three years to complete with Council approving the Plan late in 2021 before submitting it to the Province.

This is an opportunity for local residents to have a say in what the Plan will include.

There are 9 discussion papers posted on the City’s web site at www.Ottawa.ca/newop , including a Rural Ottawa highlight sheet and discussion paper. The paper poses a number of questions for consideration. Residents have the opportunity to provide input now through an online feedback form until May 31, 2019.

La Ville d’Ottawa invite les résidents au lancement du projet de nouveau Plan officiel.

Local Planning Appeal Support Centre to close

Earlier this year, I outlined the new land use approval and

appeals process that replaced the Ontario Municipal Board.

It included the creation of the Local Planning Appeal Support Centre which was to help Ontario residents understand and navigate the land use process. The Provincial Government has decided to close the Centre which has been in operation less than a year. We have expressed concerns about this decision to our local MPP as the Centre is a useful resource for individuals and organizations new to the planning process.

CAMPS 2019 5 reasons why summer camp is a good choice for kids

Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school.

Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today’s youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices.

Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic

summer vacation escape - summer camp - remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends.

Although kids needn’t be in camp all summer long, a week or two can benefit campers of all ages.

The following are five reasons why summer camp might be the right fit this year.

1. Explore talents.

Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often

easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere.

2. Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors.

Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed

to living sedentary lifestyles.

Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult.

3. Gain confidence.

Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed.

Campers learn independence,

decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students.

4. Try new things.

Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity.

Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children.

5.

Make new friends. Camp is a

great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends.

Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools.

Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

Taking care of Manotick’s eyes for three generations

Dr. Peter Fowler was only 25 years old when he first started his practice in Manotick.

“We have seen just about everything in those years,” Dr. Fowler said.

Manotick Eye Doctors is located at 1125 Clapp Lane, and Dr. Fowler, along with Dr. Ellen Isok and Dr. Bryanna Wood, have been taking care of Manotick’s eyes for three generations.

“If you have an eye problem, you want to see us,” he said.

Dr. Fowler is well-known in Manotick, as well as in international circles. In 1993, he was a founding member of Remote Area Medical, a team of medical professionals who visit remote areas in third world countries to provide medical services. He has visited remote regions of Guyana and Bolivia more than 10 times.

Now, however, he and his partners are focusing on servicing the needs of their growing practice in Manotick.

“When I was in school, a lot

of the things we have today were looked upon back then as science fiction,” he said. “Today, we have equipment that allows us to look behind the patient’s eyeballs. The scope of the parameters has increased dramatically,” Dr. Ellen Isok recently returned from an educational course in Vancouver. She joined the practice in 1990.

“The biggest change over that time is that there is more diagnostic equipment,” she said. “We can see so much more than before.”

The experience of the staff at Manotick Eye Doctors is invaluable, but their patients also have the benefit of the up-to-date training they receive.

“The staff is constantly up on what’s new and what’s available,” Dr. Fowler said.

An example of just how far the science of the industry has come since Dr. Fowler opened his practice is in the Optimal Coherence Tomography (OCT) camera, which can obtain detailed images

from within the retina.

“It allows us to look at the back of the eye,” he explained.

“With it, we can determine retinal problems.”

But while the science and technology has become a focal point for the present and future of the practice, its past is what makes it a cornerstone to the community.

“For some families, we have seen three generations of patients,” Dr. Isok said. “And with the growth of the community and as more families move in, we are meeting more and more families who are coming to the practice as new patients.”

Dr. Fowler also said there is something special about seeing generations of a family as patients.

“Sometimes, a patient will come in with their children, and I will remember seeing them when they were five years old,” he said.

“And here they are with their children.”

The team at Manotick Eye Doctors is ready to take care of any and all eye problems you or someone in your family many have. Pictured are Dr. Peter Fowler, Carol Cameron, Kelly Harvey, Dr. Ellen Isok and Kerrie Ann Dooley (seated). Not pictured are Candace Cameron, Heather Avon, Patricia Sewell, Dr. Bryanna Wood and Dr. Tanya D’Cruz.

Jeff Morris photo

Dr. Fowler also said that the staff has played an instrumental role in building the trust and relationships with local families over those generations.

“Our staff is everything,” he said. “Everyone has a specialty and they are all very good at what they do. They also make all of our patients feel comfortable.”

To contact Dr. Fowler and Associates at Manotick Eye Doctors for an appointment, call 613.692.3581.

Music and art come together in show at Manotick United Church

There is a wonderful show coming to the Manotick United Church on Saturday, March 23, Sonic Palette, the brain-child of Terry Tufts and his wife, Kathryn Briggs. It is a tribute to Canadian artist, Tom Thomson, and consists of original music by The Algonquin Ensemble and visuals of Thomson’s artwork. The Algonquin Ensemble consists of: Kathryn Briggs (piano), John Geggie (double bass), Lisa Moody (viola), Laura Nerenburg (violin), Margaret Maria (cello) and Terry Tufts on the Manzer Palette (52 string guitar!) and assorted fretted instruments. This is the kind of show that you would normally have to see at the NAC, so we are thrilled to be able to present this unique experience at a heritage building in the heart of Manotick. This is our most expensive production to date, so we have had to raise tickets prices to $35 per person for this particular show. Patrons receive meal discounts at Babbos Cuccina, The Mill Tavern and The Vault on concert night (if you present your ticket). “Sonic Palette is a masterful celebration of Canadian painter Tom Thomson, in which the Algonquin Ensemble interprets Thomson’s visual creations through music.

Using piano, strings, fretted instruments, and voice, the Ensemble has invented musical soundscapes which beautifully evoke the spirit, mood, and textures of Thomson’s works, with invitations to view selected paintings while enjoying the corresponding compositions.

Regarding his work, Thomson is quoted as having said, “Someday, they’ll know what I mean.” Sonic Palette illuminates and brings us closer to that understanding. I think Tom would be quite pleased.”

Ghamari celebrates International Women’s Day throughout Carleton riding

By Jeff Morris It was a day of celebration throughout the Carleton riding as Progressive Conservative MPP Goldie Ghamari hosted three events Friday,

March 8 for International Women’s Day. Ghamari hosted a breakfast at Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond, a lunch at the Stittsville Legion, an afternoon tea with Councillor George

Darouze in Metcalfe and an appetizer event with Councillor Carol Anne Meehan at the Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South.

“Two weeks ago, I got an invitation to attend an

Susan Rabb, Christine Lunn, Wanda Bowes and Nellie O’Hara were among those who enjoyed the International Women’s Day breakfast at Danby’s hosted by Carleton MPP Goldie Ghamari.

International Women’s Day event from a City Councillor in Ottawa, and my staff asked if I wanted to go,” explained Ghamari. “And my immediate response was why aren’t we hosting our own International Women’s Day Breakfast in the riding?”

Ghamari and her staff went to work to put together four events to celebrate International Women’s Day in the riding. The breakfast at Danby’s drew women of all ages from Richmond, Manotick and throughout the riding.

The response to the initiative and the events was extremely positive. Ghamari said that with only two weeks notice, she was hoping the breakfast in Richmond would draw 20 people. More than 100 attended.

“We had a lot of online reservations and a lot of walkins,” Ghamari said. “All of the feedback I received was really positive. People are appreciative that we are hosting events to celebrate local, rural and community women.”

As the daughter of Canadian immigrants who would become a lawyer and then a Member of Provincial Parlia-

ment, International Women’s Day holds a special spot for Ghamari.

“To me, it’s an important recognition of all the work that women have done,” Ghamari said. “A lot of time we focus on some of the bigger names, but often, especially in rural communities, women work very hard and they are the backbone of a lot of families. They are the reason that we can all advance in our lives. This is a great chance to celebrate and give back and show our appreciation.”

Ghamari was excited over the cross section of women

who attended the event.

There were corporate executives, retired people, and even school children who came to the event to join in the celebration.

“Part of the reason I like to host community events is that it gives me the opportunity to meet new people,” Ghamari said. “It gives me a boost of energy. I made sure to visit every table and sit down and chat with everyone, and I have received some excellent feedback, as well as some great ideas that I am looking forward to taking back to the Premier.”
