While Mark Sutcliffe was the clear winner in the City of Ottawa’s mayoral race, he was also the candidate who paid the most attention to the concerns and needs of the city’s rural residents, farmers, and communities like Manotick and Richmond. For the full story, see page 4.

Ontario government breaking down barriers to expand health workforce I hope everybody has enjoyed the many different events and activities leading up to Halloween. There were a number of haunts and festivities organized by local community groups leading up to Halloween. It was great to see the excitement and enthusiasm back for the biggest and best Halloween since 2019.

With Halloween over, the next big event in the riding will be Women’s Day in Manotick, which takes place Sat., Nov. 5. This is a great opportunity for women from throughout the area to join friends or bring visitors to Manotick to visit the many shops and restaurants in the village. It also makes a great opportunity to kick off the Christmas shopping season.

Remembrance Day There are a number of Remembrance Day services in the area coming up before and on November 11th. On

Please check with your local Royal Canadian Legion Branch or community association for the exact times and locations, as some are subject to change.

Sat., Nov. 5, Vernon will hold its Remembrance Day ceremonies, with Kenmore, Kars, North Gower and Osgoode following on Sun., Nov. 6.

On Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, Remembrance Day ceremonies will take place in Manotick, Richmond, Greely, Metcalfe and Stittsville.

One of the things I am most proud of in Carleton is the strong turnouts that Remembrance Day services draw. People I talk to throughout the province are always surprised to learn that a village the size of Manotick attracts approximately 1500 people each year to Dickinson Square for their ceremony.

Poppy Protocol

Throughout the Remembrance Period, Poppies are worn as a symbol of respect to honour our veterans. While wearing a poppy is a personal expression and how to wear it is an individual choice, the Legion has provided us with some guidelines on poppy protocol.

- The Poppy should be worn with respect on the left side, over the heart.

Also available through some Branches is the Legion’s reusable black centre Poppy pin to affix your lapel Poppy.

The lapel Poppy should be worn during the Remembrance period, from the last Friday in October until November 11. The Le-

gion encourages the wearing of poppies at funerals of veterans, and for any commemorative event such as a memorial service, or the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

- Poppies may be worn throughout the Remembrance period, including in the evening after Remembrance Day Ceremony.

Some choose to remove their Poppy at the end of the day on November 11.

Some choose to remove their Poppy at the conclusion of the ceremony and place their Poppy on the cenotaph or on a wreath as a sign of respect.

This has become a poignant tradition each year at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa as thousands of Poppies are placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

-When a Poppy is removed, it should be stored appropriately or it may be

disposed of respectfully. We encourage anyone who finds a Poppy that has fallen to the ground to pick it up and brush it off so that it can be kept or disposed of respectfully.

- While Poppies are always free, The Royal Canadian Legion gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund, which directly supports Canada’s Veterans and their families in need.

Expanding Health Workforce

The Ontario government is making additional changes that will break down barriers so that more health professionals can work in Ontario.

Doing more to expand the province’s health workforce is a key part of the Plan to Stay Open: Health System Stability and Recovery to ensure people can continue to access the health care services they need, when they need them.

These changes will bring more health care workers into our health system faster, helping to care for people when they need it. The province will work with all partners to ensure Ontario’s nurses, doctors, personal support workers and other health care professionals have the resources, support and guidance they need to enter the workforce and continue delivering the care Ontarians deserve.

These changes proposed by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the College of Nurses of Ontario and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, will support recruitment efforts and make it faster and easier for health care professionals trained in Ontario, other provinces and internationally to register and practice in Ontario.

MANOTICK MESSENGER goldie continues from page 2 Changes that will come into effect immediately, include: - Allowing internationally educated nurses to register in a temporary class and begin working sooner while they work towards full registration; Making it easier for non-practicing or retired nurses to return to the field by introducing flexibility to the requirement that they need to have practiced nursing within a certain period of time before applying for reinstatement; and - Creating a new temporary independent practice registration class for physicians from other provinces and territories, making it easier for them to work for up to 90 days in Ontario.

Further changes, which come into effect on January 1, 2023, include: - Requiring health

regulatory colleges to comply with time limits to make registration decisions; - Prohibiting health regulatory colleges from requiring Canadian work experience for the purpose of registration, with some exceptions such as when equivalent international experience is accepted; and Accepting language tests approved under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) to reduce duplicate language proficiency testing for immigrants to Canada.

Finally, on August 31, 2023, health regulatory colleges will be required to have a new category of registration that can be used to facilitate quicker registration to help safeguard the health workforce supply in the event of future emergencies.

MPP Goldie Ghamari lays a wreath during last year’s Remembrance Day ceremony in Richmond.

When fully implemented, the government’s Plan to Stay Open: Health System Stability and Recovery will add up to 19,000 more health care workers, including nurses and personal sup-

port workers, to Ontario’s health workforce. Over 11,900 health care professionals (including over 8,700 nurses and externs) have been added to the health system since Winter 2020.

it’s not a provincial issue, I’ll make sure to connect you with the proper office.

Sutcliffe ‘understands the issues that we are facing in rural communities’ Well-known Ottawa broadcaster, journalist, author and entrepreneur Mark Sutcliffe was a big winner in the race for mayor in the Oct. 24 Ottawa municipal election. The win was seen by many as a win for Ottawa’s rural communities.

“He fully understands the issues that we are facing in rural communities,” said newly-elected Rideau-Jock Councillor David Brown.

“He is fully aware of the challenges facing Manotick, Richmond and North Gower, and he also understands the challenges of rural Ottawa as a whole.”

Sutcliffe worked hard to become one of the most prominent leaders in the Ottawa journalism and broadcasting community over the past quarter century. From humble beginnings as a broadcaster with Carleton University’s CKCU and Rogers Cable 22 to freelance reporting and then to CHEZ 106, Sutcliffe founded the Ottawa Busi-

ness Journal in 1995. He has gone on to write for the Ottawa Citizen, host radio programs on CFRA and 1310 News, host TV programs on CPAC, and he was even the play-by-play voice of the Ottawa Lynx baseball team.

During the early years of his journalism career, he also wrote occasional articles for the Manotick Messenger.

While Sutcliffe’s campaign focused on the big ticket issues in Ottawa such as transportation, policing and responsible spending, he did not ignore the rural communities. Early in the campaign he met with Carleton MPP Goldie Ghamari to discuss local issues and to establish a local relationship. He also visited the Richmond Fair with Brown and became familiar with the challenges in the Rideau-Jock Ward. Of all the mayoral candidates, Sutcliffe was most visible in the Rideau-Jock and Osgoode wards, with the

possible exception of local mayoral candidate Mike Maguire.

Sutcliffe said he respects the priorities of Ottawa’s rural villages. During one of the debates leading up to the election, mayoral candidate Catherine McKenney, who was Sutcliffe’s main opponent, claimed that “rural villages have a lot in common with downtown Ottawa.”

After the debate, Sutcliffe said he was committed to be a leader who was focused on the concerns of rural residents, rather than be a mayor who would bring a one-size-fits-all approach to City Hall; an approach that has left rural residents feeling like they’ve been overlooked by downtown councillors.

“People in rural Ottawa are not asking for hundreds of millions of dollars on bike lanes they’ll never see,” he said in a story posted on his website. “Rural Ottawa residents want a Mayor who understands that agriculture

goes beyond the Greenbelt, and is a significant part of our economy. They want a Mayor who understands roads in rural Ottawa are crumbling - and who will

invest in making them better. They want a Mayor who understands how difficult it has become to find a family doctor, and who will develop a plan to bring more

of them to Ottawa. They want a Mayor who will keep taxes low, so that they can continue to afford living in Ottawa if they are on a fixed income.”

Manotick Women’s Day will have renewed energy and enthusiasm For the first time in three years, the Manotick BIA will be hosting its annual Women’s Day event.

Billed as ‘the ultimate girl’s day out,’ Manotick Women’s Day is an opportunity for area residents and visitors to come and enjoy a day in the village for shopping, instore specials, health and wellness, food and prizes.

While the BIA hosts several events per year, Women’s Day has evolved into one of the premier events of the year in the village. This year, there is an added excitement for Women’s Day. “Not only is it our first Women’s Day in three years, but there are also many businesses that have opened up in Man-

otick that were not here three years ago,” said BIA Executive Director Donna Smith. “The number of new businesses to the event have created some extra energy and excitement to the event.”

The event is designed for the brick and mortar businesses to put their best foot forward and showcase their goods and services, while at the same time paying special attention to the women who may be regular patrons or may experiencing the business for the first time.

Smith said that the popular passport program has returned. Women can use their event passports to get stamped at different businesses throughout

Manotick. There will also be a draw for three grand prizes.

“Since A Taste of Manotick, people have been asking us about Women’s Day,” Smith said. “Even during that event, people were anticipating the return of Women’s Day and already talking about it with their friends. They have been chomping at the bit for months for this.”

In addition to the promotions at stores, there will also be entertainers set up throughout the village. Firefighters from the Manotick Fire Station will also be on hand to give gifts to the first 1,000 women in the village.

For more information, visit www.manotickvillage.com.

Manotick Main Street may not be Abby Road, but Manotick’s firefighters will certainly be as popular as the Beatles Nov. 5 as they present gifts to the first 1,000 women to attend Manotick Women’s Day.

By Jim Watson, Mayor There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my late father, Beverley Watson, who served with the Royal Regiment of Canada and helped liberate the Netherlands during the Second World War. This month, I think of him and all those who have served and continue to serve our great nation – some giving the ultimate sacrifice.

As Mayor, I recognized the importance of helping Veterans, appointing Deputy Mayor Matthew Luloff as City Council’s Liaison for Veteran and Military Issues in 2019.

A former member of the Canadian Forces who served in Afghanistan in 2008 with the 2nd Battal-

ion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, Councillor Luloff is the perfect representative to solidify the City’s important relationship with the 23,000 active service members and more than 53,000 veterans living in Ottawa, as well as their families.

Councillor Luloff cochairs the Veterans Task Force, responsible for developing a culture of supporting our veterans and their families in our community. This includes helping veterans who are experiencing challenges with their transition to civilian life, advocating for our veterans and their families, particularly those not supported by entities (i.e.

VAC) to receive complete and appropriate health care, making housing more

affordable and easier to secure, as well as enhancing second career opportunities for veterans and their families.

One of the accomplishments that I’d like to highlight from this term of Council was opening the Veterans House supportive housing complex for homeless Veterans located at the former CFB Rockcliffe.

I trust that Councillor Luloff, the Task Force and our strategic partners will continue to deliver projects, facilitate access to resources and promote opportunities for those who have served and continue to serve our great country in the years ahead.

This year marks the 77th anniversary of Armistice Day, and the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy

Campaign continues to run from October 30 to November 11.

Visit www.legion.ca/ contact-us/find-a-branch to find poppies near you.

P.S. This is my final column as Mayor of the City of Ottawa. I want to thank all those who participated in the democratic process by volunteering, donating and, most importantly, voting. While the makeup of City Council looks a lot different for the upcoming term, I am confident that our representatives will work hard to build on the momentum of the last 12 years. We have many important projects underway that will continue to transform our nation’s capital for years to come, and I can’t wait to see it all come to fruition.

Child amputee finds inspiration through connection with World War II veteran Eight-year-old Isla McCallum is an energetic young girl with a big smile, and Charlie Jefferson, 98, is a veteran of the Second World War. At first glance, these two appear to have little in common, yet they share something special: They are both amputees.

Mr. Jefferson served as a Lieutenant with the Queen’s Own Rifles Regiment. In 1945, in the Rhine Valley, Germany, he was injured by an anti-personnel mine explosion, resulting in the loss of his left leg below the knee.

When he returned home, Charlie joined The War Amps, which was started

by First World War amputee veterans to help each other adapt to their new reality.

Years later, these veterans established the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which provides young amputees, like Isla, who was born a left arm amputee, with financial assistance for artificial limbs and the peer support of fellow amputees.

It was through The War Amps that Isla and her family heard about Mr. Jefferson.

With Remembrance Day coming up, they visited him at his Ottawa residence.

Isla was interested to learn about Mr. Jefferson and the medals he earned for his ser-

vice. She was also intrigued that he too was missing a limb. Isla described Mr. Jefferson as a role model who made her feel proud to be an amputee.

Isla’s mom, Jamie, says it is important that her daughter understands the sacrifices that many Canadians made for our freedom. “Mr. Jefferson and others risked their lives so that we could live in a better world.”

Through The War Amps “Operation Legacy,” Isla and young amputees across the country pay tribute to the veteran members of the Association who laid the foundation for programs that continue to make a difference in the lives of amputees today.

“Because of their work, child amputees have the tools and resources they need to be active, independent, and confident,” says Jamie.

But Charlie says he also takes comfort in knowing that Isla and other “champs” will continue spreading the message of remembrance, even when he no longer can.

Adds Jamie, “They [veterans] passed this legacy to younger amputees, and now it’s their turn to share these stories so that the sacrifices of veterans and all those who served are never forgotten.

It’s a wonderful legacy!”

MVCA congratulates David Brown and looking forward to working with him On November 14 a newly elected official will sit in City Council representing the concerns and successes of Manotick and other communities in Ward 21. We congratulate David Brown in this new role and look forward to working with him, his team and our newly elected Mayor Mark Sutcliffe on ongoing community issues. David will take over from Councillor Scott Moffatt who has represented our community for the past 12 years.

Councillors will be dealing with a new layer of complexity brought upon by the Ministry of Housing’s (MOH) recent announcements to accelerate the planning approval process bypassing public consultations.

The reality today is that many of the City’s deliberations on developments are on hold or have been deferred until the new Council is in place. This means that when you see project notices going up, it may be some time before the City can provide us with additional details or timelines. But be assured the MVCA will continue to keep you informed.

Brown to hit the ground running as Rideau-Jock councillor David Brown does not become the Ward 21 Rideau-Jock councillor until Nov. 15, but he is not waiting until then to get started.

“There are 15 issues I have identified and have already set up meetings with city staff,” Brown said. “I said in the campaign that I would hit the ground running, and I wanted to get started right away.”

Of all the newly elected councillors in the City of Ottawa, Brown is the one councillor who does know his way around City Hall and is able to hit the ground running. Before being elected, Brown served as the executive assistant for Ward 22 Councillor Carol Anne Meehan. Before the 2018 election, he was Ward 21 Councillor Scott Moffatt’s EA. The experience in both of those positions has given him valuable insight into the local issues, as well as a

thorough knowledge of how the systems work inside City Hall to get problems solved and to get things done.

While there are issues that affect the entire ward, Brown said that each village has particular issues and challenges that are unique to them.

“When I was doorknocking in Manotick, it was clear that the big issue is getting trucks off the streets of Manotick,” Brown said.

“Truck traffic in Manotick is certainly the biggest issue in the village.”

Last month, residents of Manotick Place demonstrated on Bridge Street to protest the large number of heavy trucks that rumble through the village, usually more than once per minute during business days. Brown showed up at the march to join the protestors.

During Brown’s campaign in Manotick, there was also some controversy.

One of his opponents, Kevin Setia, campaigned as a Manotick resident and claimed to be a Manotick resident despite the fact that his election papers stated his address as being in Rideau Forest, which is in the Osgoode Ward. Brown’s campaign team cried foul, saying that Setia was deceiving voters.

Despite losing some support in Manotick to Setia, Brown won by a comfortable margin, winning with more than 50 per cent of the vote.

“I think if Kevin did not run, it would have been a lot closer between myself and Leigh Andrea Brunet,” Brown said. “She ran a very good campaign and was a good candidate.”

Brown said he was going to reach out to his opponents to discuss some of the issues that they would like to see brought to the forefront for the ward at City Hall.

While Manotick’s issues seem to be focused on one major issue, the issues in Richmond are more spread out. Brown said that like Manotick, Richmond has an issue with truck traffic, particularly on Franktown Road on the western edge of the village. There are other issues that were also brought

to the forefront in the campaign.

“Richmond has a shortage of sidewalks and paths,” Brown said. “For example, people living in Fox Run have to walk across broken concrete at the edge of the road with trucks going at high speeds to get to the core of the village. We need

a sidewalk between Fox Run and the fire station. We also have other areas that need sidewalks and road repairs.”

Beyond the roads, Brown said there is also the empty, half-built apartment building that has dominated the Richmond skyline for well over a decade.

MANOTICK MESSENGER brown continues from page 10 “It’s time something was done about that building,” he said. “Right now, it’s just somewhere for teenagers to hang out and drink and party. The police are called there frequently.”

The building was originally earmarked as an apartment building for seniors.

The developer went bankrupt during construction.

Other plans for the building have fallen through over the years.

North Gower issue Brown said that in North Gower, there are also a number of issues. The one that stands out to him is a need for a sidewalk on Church Street.

“There is a stretch of Church Street where chil-

David Brown received more than 50 per cent of the vote as he was the winner of the Rideau-Jock Ward 21 council seat.

dren are walking along the side of the road after school with cars driving by them at high speeds,” Brown said.

Although he said he did not hear a lot of talk about the proposed mega warehouse while doorknocking in North Gower, it will also be an issue.

“We have to make sure that the infrastructure is in place to handle the traffic that the proposed warehouse would bring,” Brown said. “We have to make sure the roads are ready and that we have traffic lights in place.”

Brown said that in addition to his initial meetings with city staff to focus on issues, he will also be focusing on opening up his offices at City Hall and in North Gower. One of his challenges will be to hire staff for those offices.

The peace of the On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month Will Remember Them Remembrance Day moves me every time, not just at the 11th hour on the 11 and the two-minute silence but the whole day. But this year, I am disturbed by current trends, in Canada, and certainly among our southern neighbours, that represent a level of intolerance, injustice, hatred and racism that are unCanadian.

My father worked in a munitions factory in Montreal during the First World War as his health would not allow him to join the armed forces. My brother was in the Royal Canadian Air Force for thirty-five years; my brotherin-law was also in the RCAF for about the same time; my aunt was in the Canadian

THIS MONTH

by Larry Ellis

Women’s Army Corps for four years; I was in the Army Cadets in Maxville during the last year of the war. My point is my family connections of those that served is little different from many families. They did their duty, they did it well - in the interest of freedom. Freedom for the people of this country- all the people of this countryand beyond. It wasn’t heroic, it wasn’t romantic, it was hell on earth. This is the month we remember- the good, the

bad, and the ugly of war.

The greatest commandment was to love one’s neighbour. This Golden Rule, or a version of it, is shared by all the world’s religions. No other way is good enough.

Try and attend a November 11th Remembrance Day ceremony; it’s important that you do; encourage the young people to attend and take the younger children; they need to understand the significance of November 11th Pause for one minute of silence at 11:00 a.m. on November 11 to honour those who served and died in times of war, military conflict, and peace WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Why November 11?

Remembrance Day in Canada is a day to commemorate members of the armed forces.

Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11 because that marks the official end of World War I in 1918. On that day, the Germans officially signed the armistice, an agreement that officially put an end to the fighting in WWI. That’s one reason why Remembrance Day is often referred to as Armistice Day. Though the day has a significant connection to World War I, it also honours the men and women who fought for Canada in World War II, the Korean War and those who continue to serve in the military.

Over the years, more than 1.5 million Canadians have fought for their country and to defend the rights and freedoms of non-Canadians as well. Among the Remembrance Day traditions is the wearing of poppies, which are worn as the symbol of remembrance and a reminder of the blood-red flower that grows on the former battlefields of France and Belgium.

In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

‘In Flander’s Fields’ was written by a Canadian, John McCrae, a doctor and teacher who served in both the South African War and the First World War. He died from pneumonia on January 28, 1918.

Ontario continues to crack down on foreign real-estate speculation Government increasing Non-Resident Speculation Tax rate to 25 per cent, the highest in Canada As part of its plan to tackle Ontario’s housing crisis, the government is prioritizing Ontario families and homebuyers by increasing the Non-Resident Speculation Tax rate from 20 per cent to 25 per cent, effective October 25, 2022.

This increase will strengthen efforts to deter non-resident investors from speculating on the province’s housing market and help make home ownership more attainable for Ontario residents. For many years, there have been concerns that foreign real-estate specula-

tion is an important factor driving up the cost of housing in Ontario.

“Young families, newcomers and those all over the province dream of having their own home, a dream which continues to be out of reach for too many,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance. “To help Ontario homebuyers, our government is increasing the NonResident Speculation Tax rate by another five percentage points to 25 per cent, making it the highest in Canada, to further discourage foreign speculation in On-

tario’s housing market.”

This increase builds on the government’s previous actions taken in March 2022 to make Ontario’s Non-Resident Speculation Tax the most comprehensive in Canada, including: - Increasing the rate to 20 per cent, from 15 per cent; - Expanding the tax to apply provincewide, as it previously only applied to homes purchased in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region; and, - Eliminating loopholes by focusing relief eligibility to only newcomers who commit to

laying down roots in the province long-term.

This increase to the Non-Resident Speculation Tax rate is part of a suite of concrete actions the Province is taking to address Ontario’s housing crisis. Last week, the government announced that Ontario is also cracking down on bad actors by doubling the fines for unethical and illegal new home cancellations. These steps, built on recommendations from the Housing Affordability Task Force and the first-ever Provincial-Municipal Housing Summit, will

deliver both near-term solutions and long-term commitments to provide more attainable housing options for Ontario families.

“Today’s announcement is another step in our government’s plan to make housing more attainable for all Ontarians,” said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “We are working to end Ontario’s housing supply crisis – both by building 1.5 million new homes over the next 10 years, and by ensuring Ontarians are able to access our existing

housing supply. These measures are a clear indication of our commitment to do precisely that.”

The Non-Resident Speculation Tax is applied to the price of homes purchased in Ontario by foreign nationals (individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada), foreign corporations or taxable trustees.

The tax rate will increase to 25 per cent for binding agreements of purchase and sale entered into on or after October 25, 2022.

Mills family supports Richmond Legacy Pavilion with donation The Richmond Legacy Community Association is pleased to announce another major contribution by a local area family, the Mills Family.

Edward and Ann Mills along with their children immigrated to Canada in the early 1800’s from Ireland. They settled in the Richmond area and like many others with land grants

began the arduous tasks of clearing bush lots, erecting fences, building homes and out buildings.

Over the years they became prominent farmers in the area and were actively involved in the growth and politics of Marlborough Township.

The original stone farmhouse still proudly stands near Mills Corners just south of Richmond

on Goodstown Rd. The current members of the Mills family are proud to support the Richmond Pavilion so that future generations may gather under its roof for years to come.

For more information on the Richmond Community Pavilion and on how you may contribute please visit richmondlegacy.ca.

Police warn of scam involving escort service and dating site customers The Ottawa Police Service is warning the public of an active scam targeting people contacting escort services and dating sites.

In the last month, the number of reports to police involving extortion or threats has doubled.

Here’s how it works: A person contacts an escort service or dating website. During the

course of communicating, the victim is asked for a masturbation video. Once received, the suspect threatens to expose the video to the victim’s friends or relatives unless bitcoin or cash is paid. If they don’t pay, victims receive threatening phone calls or videos stating the victim and family will be killed if payment isn’t

made.

“Beware, the person you think you are conversing with may not be who they say they are,” says Sgt. Robert Mills, Case manager for the Central Investigations Section. “And all the while, they’re gathering personal information about you.”

Sgt. Mills says this is an International scam.

“The chance of finding the suspects is low.

That’s why we are warning people so we can prevent this from happening in the first place.”

Here’s how you can protect yourself: - Set your privacy controls on all social media platforms to the highest security setting; - Don’t provide images or photos of yourself;

- Don’t move your conversation to a platform where your contacts can be accessed.

If you do receive a threat: - Stop all communication with the extortionist; - Report it to your local police service; - Make a report through Cybertip.ca.

“They are counting

on victims to be too embarrassed to come forward,” says Sgt. Mills.

“You will not be judged.

Police involvement may be enough to make them back off, or your report may help us find the individual(s) responsible and stop them from victimizing others.”

Amazon’s 2.6 million square foot YOW3 fulfillment centre opens One of Canada’s most elaborate and technologically-advanced buildings is now open.

YOW3, the new Amazon fulfillment centre building in Citi Gate near the 416/Fallowfield interchange in Barrhaven has opened. It immediately becomes the largest potential employer for residents of the Rideau-Jock Ward The 2.6 million square foot building is Ottawa’s largest building. It features 12 kilometres of conveyer belts and will operate 24 hours per day.

The building is one of only five of its kind in the world. It will employ approximately 2,500 people in the region. There are currently 1,500 worker in the Barrhaven facility, with another 300 to be added by the end of this month.

The facility features 5,000 robots, capable of scanning and sorting as many as 20 million items per day for shipping local, nationally and globally.

The YOW3 building has three special robots on its staff.

Robin is a robotic arm with the ability to grasp, manipulate, identify and place packages onto a sortbot, which takes items from one department to another. Kermit is a trolley that focuses on towing around empty containers, RWC4 is a large robotic arm which sorts totes by destination and builds pallets for shipping.

“The idea behind the technology is to be able to make the job safer for our team,” said YOW3 General Manager Jawad Kamani in a CTV Ottawa interview. “In addition to

that what we’ve been able to do is really condense the floor space that we have at large Amazon fulfillment centres. By bringing in technology, we are able to get into city centres, get into an area like this where there are closer neighbourhoods, associates have closer access to the building and it allows us to be closer to our customer.”

Harsh Khaitan, Amazon Canada’s regional director of operations, says that despite a Canada-wide labour shortage, Amazon is continuing to recruit staff with a focus on a competitive wage. Jobs at Amazon begin at $19-21 per hour and come with a benefits package.

For more information about job opportunities with Amazon in Barrhaven, visit www.amazon. com/ottawahourlyjobs.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Nepean MP Chandra Arya, and Barrhaven BIA Executive Director Andrea Steenbakkerstoured YOW3 and met Amazon employees at the opening of the Amazon Fulfillment Centre.

OSU U14 girls beat Brampton to win Ontario soccer championship Ottawa South United’s U14 girls are the Ontario soccer champions.

The team travelled to the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughn last weekend and came home with the 2022 Gary Miller Charity Shield after outscoring Brampton 4-3 in an exciting, highscoring final.

It didn’t take long for OSU to get on the scoreboard. Brampton committed a turnover in the second minute and a long, looping shot from Mya Angus was mishandled by the Brampton keeper and found its way into the back of the net to give OSU a 1-0 lead.

The lead would not last long, as seven minutes, Brampton’s Niyah NoelGordon intercepted a pass in the OSU six yard box and scored to tie the game at 1-1.

Brampton took a 2-1 lead in the 17th minute, capitalizing on an OSU mistake. Brampton crossed the ball on a free kick but the attempt to clear the ball failed. Gabriel Istocki was there for Brampton to put home the loose ball.

OSU tied the score at 2-2 before halftime as midfielder Cindy Yang fired a beautiful shot from 20 yards out with the equalizer.

The action and goals would continue in the second half.

OSU took the lead in the 58th minute as Naomi Lofthouse put home a free kick to put OSU up 3-2.

Brampton had a chance to tie the score in the 53rd minute as a corner kick bounced into the box to Noel-Gordon, whose chance for the equalizer was stopped by a sliding

tackle by defender Danielle Chukwu.

Moments later, OSU scored their fourth goal and went ahead by two as Angus struck a free kick near the corner flag and it looped into the net, beating the Brampton keeper from an extremely difficult angle.

The game was seemingly over with a score of 4-2 heading into extra time, but Brampton turned on the offense and went on the attack. One minute into extra time, Brampton scored what appeared to be their third goal, but were called for offside.

Six minutes into extra time, Brampton did get their third goal to bring them within one. They continued to push for the tying goal, but they ran out of time and OSU claimed a 4-3 victory.

OSU won the U14 Ontario championship by beating Brampton 4-3.

U15 Girls edged in shootout ers and fired a long range shot from 25 yards out that didn’t miss by a wide margin.

Markham replied in the 65th minute with a good chance of their own. A long free kick cross fell to Alessandra Geraneo who flicked the ball on net from within the six yard box but did not have much power on it resulting in a rather comfortable save.

It was back to OSU who had the next good scoring chance in the 80th after a cross to call-up Mya Angus at the back post.

Her shot was hit just wide as she was at full stretch attempting to put the ball in the open net.

Once again, Markham counter punched and almost scored in the 84th minute when Kennedy Belfon was sent in on a clear breakaway as the defender tried to pinch the pass and missed. Belfon decided to keep the ball and shoot, despite a teammate streaking down the right flank unmarked, and in the end the shot was rather tamed

While the U14 girls won on Sat., Oct. 22, the U15 girls were in the provincial final the following day. After playing to a 1-1 draw, OSU came out on the short end of a penalty shootout, losing 7-6 to Markham SC. It was OSU who scored the opening goal of the game in the 17th minute through Isabelle Chukwu who tapped in a second rebound after a long range shot from her sister Anabelle, and initial rebound shot from Francesca Mureta.

Markham nearly scored the equalizer from a free kick only three minutes later. The ball was crossed to Jayda Schoburgh at the far post, who headed the ball just wide.

Markham did however get the equalizer in the 30th minute through Naomi Phillips who converted a penalty shot.

The teams continued to battle in the second half.

It was OSU who had the first second half chance in the 58th minute. Anabelle Chukwu dribbled through a few play-

and directly to the keeper who made a comfortable save.

The game would end 1-1 after fulltime requiring penalties where the dramatics continued.

Markham would miss their fist kick but were able keep their nerve and make their next three to give them a chance.

OSU on the other hand, made their first three kicks giving them the opportunity to take the win with their fourth kick, but Olivia Busby made a great save to push the shootout to extras.

In extras, both teams made their first two kicks. In the third round, Markham stepped up and scored, forcing OSU into a must score scenario to keep the shootout going.

With the game on the line, OSU called on call-up Angus who helped Markham win the Girls U14 Finals the day earlier with two goals in the game.

Unfortunately, Nusby would win this duel with a big save to give Markham the 7-6 victory on penalties.

OSU won the silver medal at the provincial championships after losing to Markham in a shootout.

OSU players celebrate during the provincial final.

Have it all.

Offence comes alive as Royals earn three straight Jr. B wins The Richmond Royals reeled off three straight wins last week to improve their record to 6-3-0 in the young Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season.

The Royals posted wins over the Alexandria Glens, Embrun Panthers and CharLan Rebels to move into fifth place in the Junior B circuit’s Martin Division. Although they are in fifth, they are only three points behind the first place Casselman Vikings, who have played one more game than Richmond.

The win streak began at home Sun., Oct. 16, as the Royals erupted for eight goals in an 8-4 win over Alexandria. Richmond outscored the Glens 49-21 on the afternoon.

Robbie Disilvestro was the game’s first star, as he netted a hat trick for the Royals in the win. All of his goals came in the second period. Drew Russett and Declan McCarthy both had a goal and two as-

sists, Jackson Miller had a goal and a helper, with Jaidon Genereux and Giulio Carulli also scoring. Dylan Rorwick had a pair of assists with one each going to Gage Bujold, Tyler Cutts, Jackson Dallaire, Justin Williams, Shane Sullivan and Reid Johnston.

Yanik Major, Nicholas Bell, Cosimo Repaci and Tyler Sauve scored for the Glens.

Overtime Win on the Road

On Fri., Oct. 21, the Royals road-tripped to Embrun and came away with a 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers. It marked the second time in the past month that the Royals had edged the Panthers in extra time. The last time the two teams met, the Royals won in a shootout that went eight shooters deep at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre.

The home team opened the scoring in the first period when Riley MacDonald scored, but then Richmond stormed back with a pair of goals. Drew Russett scored from Tyler Hames with 4:38 left in the first period, and then Cameron Donaldson game the Royals a 2-1 lead by scoring from Robbie Disilvestro exactly one minute later. Juno Gregoire scored his seventh of the season for Embrun to tie the score.

After that, the goalies took over. Cooper Lennon, who had stopped a penalty shot in the first period, stopped 23 shots in the second and third periods. Richmond’s Gabe Arrigo was not as busy, but was still flawless in stopping 16 shots in the second and third.

The Royals caught a break in overtime when Connor MacDonald was sent off for cross checking. The penalty gave the Royals a 4-on-3

power play. Dylan Rorwick scored his eighth of the year to give Richmond the win, with assists coming from Jackson Dallaire and Shane Sullivan.

Win Over Char-Lan

The Royals returned home Sun. Oct. 23 to host the CharLan Rebels. A balanced offensive attack, solid defensive play and strong goaltending from Gabe Arrigo lifted the Royals to a 7-3 win.

The teams traded goals in the first, with Trent Poitras scoring for Char-Lan and Jackson Miller scoring from

Jackson Dallaire for the Royals.

Jeremy Chenier scored for the Rebels 30 seconds into the second period, but the Royals responded with four goals in less than six minutes.

Miller scored his second of the game on the power from Tyler Cutts and Cameron Donaldson. Giulio Carulli scored his fourth of the year from Drew Russett and Leo Kluchert. The Royals went up 4-2 went Kluchert scored his first of the season on the power play from Rorwick and Carulli. Tyler Hames put the

Royals up 5-2 from Sullivan and Rorwick.

In the third period, the Royals added to their lead.

Reid Johnston’s fourth of the season came from Shane Sullivan and Cameron Donaldson. Hunter Brennan scored a shorthanded marker for CharLan, but Cameron Donaldson responded for the Royals with a goal from Kluchert and Cutts to make the final 7-3.

Gabe Arrigo made 37 stops for his third straight win.

The Royals are at home again Sun, Nov. 6 when they host the Winchester Hawks.

PHARMACY Q: Do I still need a flu shot if I am up to date on all my COVID-19 vaccines?

A: Yes! A flu shot is still needed for protection against the flu. All COVID-19 vaccines including the bivalent boosters will not protect Pharmacist against the flu. COVID-19 and influenza are caused by different viruses; therefore, it is important to be up to date on both vaccines.

The flu vaccine is recommended every year as it is produced yearly based on the probable circulating strains. The 2022/2023 flu shots are currently available and can be received at different locations throughout the province including pharmacies.
