Carp River fix finally underway for residents, a better habitat for wildlife and provide land for development, is going ahead with a cost of more than three times its original estimate, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, in whose ward part of the work will take place.

Work on the Carp River is now underway some 10 years since the city first approved it, and six years after a major revision found a technical error in the original study.

Fewer fish habitats, trails more prone to flooding after audit

SUBMITTED

A map shows the plans for the Carp River Restoration project from Richardson Side Road to Hazeldean road after years of study and review, which has resulted in the cost of the project three times what was originally estimated.

Continued from page 1

The city will bear more

than 30 per cent of the estimated $17.9 million cost of the project, while the rest

will be paid for by landowners/developers in the Kanata west area.

For their money, residents will get a trail system and an improved wildlife area to enjoy, said Wilkinson. However, the trail system will be more prone to flooding than in the original plan, there will be fewer fish habitats and less vegetation planted.

These changes were made to save money and to deal with soil problems and flood mitigation considerations.

“I’m satisfied with it,”

said Wilkinson of the project, which has been OK’d by the city, the Ministry of the Environment and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.

“Everything has been assessed thoroughly and everyone is satisfied with the design as it stands now,” said John Price, director of water resource engineering with the conservation authority.

The first phase of the work (from Richardson

Side Road to Highway 417) is expected to be completed this year, with phases two and three expected to be done by 2018.

DEVELOPMENT AND RESTORATION

In 2002 the city expanded the urban boundary to include the area between Stittsville and Kanata, as well as north of Stittsville.

In 2010, an audit was undertaken after the Ministry of the Environment found technical errors with the computer model used to calculate the height of water during storm events.

The model, used for decades throughout North America, had failed to read some of the water volume information fed into it said Price.

“That was obviously a major issue,” he said.

After a third party review, it was found there wasn’t enough flood plain storage and the design had to be changed, said Price.

“That was one of the drivers of some of the changes,” he said, saying that poor soil conditions around the Carp River and mounting costs resulted in others.

Ultimately, the number of fish habitat ponds was reduced to keep costs down, said Price. This loss should not impact the area’s water

storage capacity, he said, while the total fish habitat is still being doubled from what was originally there.

The height of the public trails was reduced from 10 year flood levels to two year flood levels, partially to keep the trails from cutting the river off from flood plains, and due to cost concerns.

Having the trails at 10 year flood level heights would mean the vehicle bridge to connect Campeau Drive across the river would have to be raised above that to allow the trails clearance below it.

“Those are very soft soils, and that increases the cost of that bridge enormously,” said Wilkinson.

Also due to the soft soil, the amount of vegetation to be put in was scaled back, said Price, replaced by rock that could more effectively deal with erosion.

Some residents have wondered whether the changes

benefited developers while reducing the elements of the project meant for public enjoyment.

Price said that the change in the project actually resulted in less space for development than previously.

“The changes that were made were not made for the developers. They were made more for the city and for the costs,” said Wilkinson. “(Developers) been waiting a long, long time and waiting costs money for them,” she said.

of the flood plain going as soon as possible, Wilkinson said she is pushing for sections of Campeau to be built before the Carp River project is done.

She said she has also asked Minto to consider building a trail connecting their nearby Arcadia development to the trail system that will be built this year, providing residents with a link to Kanata Centrum.

This will be important to them, as the Campeau Drive bridge will likely not be built until 2018 or 2019, said Wilkinson. es last / Quantité While quantiti

The plan was to develop 1 million square metres of commercial space creating 24,000 jobs, and 6,300 households for 17,000 people, reads the city’s and the Kanata West Owners Group’s implementation plan for Kanata West development.

But the Carp River, was already in bad shape and prone to flooding.

“It’s a straight channel,” said Price of the river. “It’s been manipulated over the years, probably decades ago now, at the time when it was agricultural areas and crops.”

The slow-moving river was filling itself with sediment it couldn’t move on its own, and was disconnected from an available flood plain, which could cause major flooding issues downstream. It was also a poor wildlife habitat, said Price.

So, before land around the river could be zoned for development, the river had to be

reworked.

Now split up into several phases, that “restoration” included turning the straight channel into a winding river with more capacity to hold water and move sediment, the creation of fish habitat pools and wet meadows, planting vegetation and moving floodplains while elevating former flood plains, making them available for development.

Trails were also planned, as well as a pair of pedestrian bridges.

The city would pay for 30 per cent of the cost – originally $1.5 million of the $5 million total.

The group of developers, referred to as the Kanata West Owners Group and includes companies like Mattamy, Minto and Richcraft, would pay the rest. The city is also a member of the owners group as it owns land in the area originally slated for the Senators arena, said Wilkinson, and thus will pay a portion of the owners group costs.

She said she hopes to encourage business owners to find out how they can help Syrian refugees as they settle into life in Canada as well.

Kanata resident Rouba Al-Fattal knows there are plenty of people looking to support Syrian refugees making their way to Canada.

But now she is working to give people the information they need to do that as effectively as possible, and understand a bit more about where the refugees are coming from.

Al-Fattal, a professor of Middle East and Arab politics and a member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa, which is sponsoring Syrian refugees, is holding a workshop at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Jan. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

She will be speaking, along

with a Syrian refugee family that has been in Canada for nine months and a representative of their sponsor, Holy Redeemer Church in Kanata.

At the workshop, AlFattal will let people know why they should help Syrian refugees, and how they can help them.

This includes giving people a sense of what is going on in Syria and why it’s happening, she said.

In fact, the Syrian family attending escaped from the city of Daraa, where a siege in 2011 escalated the conflict in Syria as it became a civil war.

“That’s the city where all this started,” said Al-Fattal, “the whole conflict.”

She will also speak on what kinds of supports refu-

Bad habit: there’s an app for that

T

here are days when I wish cheese wasn’t edible. I love cheese.

One of my favourite movie scenes of all time is when lactose-intolerant character Kate, played by actress Meg Ryan, indulges in a plate of the fatty stuff on a train in the movie French Kiss.

She knows she’s lactose intolerant. But in her attempt to be rebellious and make the most of her undesired trip to France, she decides to challenge her digestive tract.

“Did you know that there are 452 official government cheeses in this country?” she asks her travelling partner, as she’s spreading and eating.

“Don’t you think that’s incredible? To come up with 452 ways of classifying what is basically a bacterial

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

process?”

A bacterial process, but the result is so yummy, so satisfying, so fattening and so bad for one’s gut!

So maybe you have cheese in your life too. Or maybe you smoke, or you eat too much sugar.

Perhaps you’re a total social media addict to the detriment of your life and relationships outside of virtual reality.

As with all things, there’s an app for that. Actually, it’s a gadget that its creator,

Maneesh Sethi, claims can help you take some control.

The Pavlok is a bracelet that gives you an electronic shock when you break any resolution. You can set it in advance to shock you, say, when your social media activity gets out of hand.

Or you can shock yourself in real time as you puff on a cig or shove a piece of stilton down your gullet.

It’s like a personal assistant and a parent all at the same time. It’s your executive reasoning; in fact it’s

the opposite of your executive reasoning, because it’s designed to tap into your primitive brain.

The idea behind the creation, says its founder, is that it gets beyond your “human brain” to train your “reptile brain” to kick in and stop you from doing something detrimental.

I’m not sure how I feel about shocking myself into cheese prohibition, but I can see why it could work.

There’s an old adage that says you can’t kick bad habits, only create new, good habits. When it comes to routine things – opening the fridge, heading for the cheese drawer – our brains are useless companions.

We’ve opened the fridge, followed by the cheese drawer so many times that there’s no need for conscious processing.

The electric shock works

to alter your habitual pattern. It also makes your brain associate whatever you’re doing with something negative, and – if the videos are to be believed – even mildly painful.

LRT won’t be a free ride

M

ayor Jim Watson’s dream of fasttracking a light rail transit system that includes a run to the city’s airport and an extension to Trim Road in Orléans sounds great, except for one rather large detail.

Who is going to pay for it?

Watson wants someone else to pay for it. Not share the cost, but pay for it outright.

The mayor joined other politicians at the Via Rail station on Tremblay Road for a tour of a nearby worksite and to give an update on the progress of Confederation LRT line construction.

In a media scrum afterwards, Watson laid out the rationale for fast-tracking an LRT airport spur and an extension to Trim Road. It all sounded perfectly reasonable, especially with an Airport Parkway widening project on the drawing board and how that could be impacted by an LRT run to the airport. Perfectly reasonable; until it becomes clear the city, in essence, is counting on getting a financial free ride with the federal

and provincial purses.

Watson wants the $160-million light-rail extension (the most recent estimate of the cost) to Ottawa’s airport paid for by the feds and the $155-million light-rail line to Trim Road covered by the province.

Watson’s rationale for having other levels of government pick up the entire tab for the airport and Trim Road extensions? “Our philosophy is that we believe the province would be best suited to help fund the Trim Road extension, because ultimately there was a download by the previous government of the (highway) 174” and such a rail line would help alleviate congestion on the highway to Trim Road.

“And the federal government, having responsibility for airports, would be best suited to fund the airport link,” Watson said.

Good luck with that.

Ottawa residents shouldn’t hold their breath until that happens, because it is highly doubtful the feds and Queen’s Park are willing to be Watson’s wallet when it comes to his LRT wish list.

he only good thing about the economy being in crisis – if in fact that’s what’s happening – is that it stops people from writing about electoral reform.

Thanks for that, economic crisis.

Not that you can’t be equally nerdish about the economy. All sorts of exotic analyses are out there as to why things aren’t right.

And all sorts of exotic analyses are out there as to why things aren’t all that bad.

Those who see the economic glass as half-empty propose complicated measures, having to do with infrastructure spending, interest rates, energy sector reforms.

But sometimes simple solutions are called for.

Here’s one. Hire more people.

When more people work, more people spend. When more people

spend, more businesses make money. When more businesses make money, more businesses hire and invest and grow and pay taxes.

It’s really nice the way it works out.

The next question is who should do the hiring. Let’s see. Are there businesses out there that could use more employees? Well, let’s ask the consumer.

The consumer was in a department store the other day, looking for something. Once upon a time, department stores were swarm-

ing with staffers leaping to assist you if they saw you pause for the slightest second in front of a shirt or a toaster. The other day, the consumer could pause for 10 minutes and not see anyone in sight.

Having found the toaster, the consumer would then search for a place to pay for it. It was way over there, far from the toaster department, in the slipper department, a desk with one person working at it.

This was not a busy time, but there were five people wanting to buy things. Two staffers could have handled that in a hurry. One staffer couldn’t. During the wait, the consumer pondered the fact that department stores are said to be in decline. Wonder why.

They could rebound. The location in shopping centres is ideal.

The idea of having a variety of goods under one roof is attractive.

The good ones have quality merchandise for sale. What they don’t have is enough people to help you pay for it. So people don’t go to department stores. They go to smaller stores that have staff.

Wouldn’t it help the department store, not to mention the consumer, not to mention the economy, to hire some more folks?

A consumer at the movies might make the same complaint. A modest lineup at the popcorn counter causes a 10-minute delay in getting to the movie (there to watch advertising, but that’s another story).

And it’s the same story: six or seven cash registers but only two people manning them.

Just a couple more people behind the counter would make life so much better for everyone, help the old GDP and maybe get more people out of the house and away from their big TVs.

Residents share budget priorities at Kanata consultation Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

EDUCATION

One man said he would like to see a post-secondary debt reduction for students educated in Canada who then go on to work in Canada rather than elsewhere.

Another resident pushed for post-secondary education to be free.

Someone else said Kanata’s prosperity was tied to having light rail brought into the riding as soon as possible, and keeping the Senators located in Kanata as well.

A man from a rural area of the riding discussed the need for greater connectivity in rural areas, saying a reliable cell signal or high-speed Internet is not yet available to him just a few minutes outside of the urban boundary.

Another resident said federal government corporate tax cuts should have more rules along with them, like a requirement for further investment in Canada.

“So many of the corporate tax cuts had no strings attached,” agreed McCrimmon.

A bank worker said she was afraid of losing her job in the coming years as bank

services are offered more and more online.

McCrimmon said she noted her concern, while acknowledging that technology is resulting in a “significant restructuring” of the world that can affect blue-collar workers. The challenge is not necessarily to keep these changes from happening but to find a place for any displaced workers.

After further discussion, the three main themes from the audience were identified.

Those were: • Infrastructure investment, • Creating jobs, • Supporting businesses.

McCrimmon noted the federal government’s standing commitments, including $3.4 billion in annual tax relief for nine million Canadians, a $20-billion investment in public transit, $20 billion in green infrastructure investment and $20 billion in social infrastructure investment.

McCrimmon’s public consultation was one of many happening across the country, with Finance Minister Bill Morneau encouraging MPs to hold their own consultations.

McCrimmon said the federal budget will likely tabled in late February or early March.

Several dozen residents let Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon know how they think the new federal government should help bring about economic prosperity during a pre-budget public meeting on Jan. 15.

Topics ranged from supporting the fading automotive industry to moving government procurement away from the lowest bidder approach, and from a national strategy for health care to keeping pension money out of the hands of employers.

McCrimmon noted that the government’s actions would be couched within a few core tenets it has set out: • Greater support and tax cuts for the middle class rather than the upper class, • Investment in infrastructure like public transit and social infrastructure, • Trying to move from a staple goods-based economy to a knowledge-added economy, emphasizing tech exports over things like oil and lumber.

The government will then balance these things against their environmental impact, she said.

Trickle-down economics doesn’t work, said McCrimmon. But it does from the middle down, because they are the real job creators, hence the tax benefits to the middle class, she said.

“We are going to go into deficit,” said McCrimmon, largely in an effort to support and grow the middle class, though the government will return to a balanced budget by the end of its mandate, she said.

After setting the stage and taking down written comments from the several dozen people in attendance at the Brookstreet Hotel, Mc-

Crimmon opened the floor to ideas.

Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church

With Christmas awkwardly placed on a Sunday this calendar year, there isn’t an obvious two-week holiday break for school boards.

So the English public board is polling parents with an online survey asking if parents would rather their children attend school: * up until Dec. 23 and return on Jan. 9, * or take the week before Christmas off, with the last day of school on Dec. 16 – which would mean returning on Jan. 2.

“I think (the poll) is a good idea because the choices are extreme,” said Keith Penny, the school trustee for Orléans-Cumberland.

He said most parents have been surprised to be surveyed.

But as three other boards in the city have to decide their own school calendars for the 2016-17 school year, whatever parents vote for will be just one piece of the puzzle for school board staff.

The two English boards – public and Catholic – share transportation. If they each choose a different school break, it means the buses would only be off the road for one week instead of the usual two.

“Both school boards are aware that the

costs for transportation really are more efficiently calculated when they both have the same breaks,” said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager of the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority. “I know at OSTA we we’ve had communication about it, and it’s a conversation that happens every year when we set the calendar.”

She said the extra cost of having different breaks would be passed on to the school boards.

Penny said if parents vote overwhelming in favour of one option, the board will try to set the calendar accordingly. But he thinks if the public board parents are overwhelmingly in favour of one option, it’s unlikely the Catholic board parents would strongly favour something different.

Ottawa Catholic board spokesperson Mardi de Kemp said the Catholic board also surveyed parents, just not through the same online survey method the public board used. The board surveyed parents through the Catholic School Parent Association.

She said that feedback will be taken into consideration, but so will information from stakeholder groups and partners, like the teachers union, transportation authority, public board and child care organizations.

However, the French and English boards

English public board polling parents on preferred two-week holiday

don’t speak as closely about the school break because the French public and Catholic boards have their own transportation authority, shared with a third school board in eastern Ontario.

“That’s basically why (the French boards’) calendars match, so we can coordinate busing,” said Céline Bourbonnais, the French Catholic board spokesperson.

“We start a week sooner (than the English boards), we start before Labour Day every year.”

She said because the French board starts early, they have to submit a modified calendar to the Ministry of Education two months in advance of the English boards.

Staff send over copies to the English boards in case they want to take them into consideration, but the French calendar is set earlier.

The English public board survey is available online until Jan. 25 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Winter_Break_2016_2017.

Parents petitioning for new public school program in west end Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

See IT’S SOMETHING, page 13

FILE

Parents in Ottawa’s west end are banding together with a petition, asking for the public school board to start an international baccalaureate program on the west side of the city. Currently, public school board students from all over the city must commute to Colonel By Secondary School for the program.

R0013645180-0114

The years-old call for a public school international baccalaureate program in the city’s west end has gathered steam after a father saw his niece and nephew struggle with the commute.

“I have young kids. My eldest is in Grade 7 and so I’ve started thinking about what I want them to do for high school,” said Jonathan Patrick who lives near Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road in Nepean.

“There are a couple of enriched programs (in the public school board), but the only IB program available is at Colonel By (Secondary School, located between Vanier and Orleans),” he said.

The international baccalaureate program, known as the IB program, is a world-renowned educational method that requires high levels of study and is “designed for strong academic students,” says the public school board on its website.

Participation in the program can result in advanced placement of students in post-secondary institutions.

“I’ve watched my nephew and niece do it,” said Patrick. The commute, more than an hour by public transit, and requiring several buses early in the morning, was onerous, he said.

“My nephew stuck it out and he is now in first year university,” he said. “My niece dropped out of the IB program largely because of the commute. It was just killing her.”

So Patrick reached out to public school trustee for Barrhaven/ Knoxdale-Merivale, Donna Blackburn, to see if there was any interest in opening another IB program west of Bronson Avenue.

“It’s something that should happen,” said Blackburn.

“It’s not fair that people in Kanata and Barrhaven have to go all that way to participate in the program. And it just makes sense that we have one in each end of the city.”

Encouraged to push for such a program, Patrick connected with parent council members like Lorrie Vidalin at Merivale High School, and they engaging parents.

‘It’s something that should happen’: trustee Continued from page 12

“I think it’s needed and I think the board should do it,” said Vidalin, school council chair at Merivale.

Together they found that the board has been performing a secondary school review since 2011 with a goal of ensuring students have equal access to secondary school programs. One of six programs reviewers have been investigating is the IB program.

Vidalin is expecting the report on the program to be presented to the board in March, though the board did not confirm a date.

Patrick and Vidalin hope to make their case for a west end IB program at the same meeting. But, until then, they and others have been looking for more parent support for a new IB

As for a specific location for a western IB program, Vidalin and Patrick said their push doesn’t include support for a particular school.

However, Blackburn said Merivale High School would be best suited.

The school’s principal, Barb Gage, has previous experience setting up IB programs, said Blackburn. But she said it’s the accessibility of the school that makes it a good choice.

“I’m not a city planner, but how many buses do you think go by Merivale in a day?” she asked.

To see the petition for a west end IB program, go to change.org/p/ottawacarleton-district-schoolboard-international-baccalaureate-programme-in-ottawa-s-west-end-throughthe-ocdsb.

program with a petition, “just to try and show the trustees when we do present that there is a lot of parental and family interest and desire to see what we are propositioning,” said Vidalin.

As of Jan. 18, the petition has 346 supporters.

“I’m hoping to find more,” said Patrick. “I have no doubt (that there are more).”

“If you ever attend the information sessions that Colonel By puts on for their IB program, it’ s jampacked. They have, last I heard, 600 applications a year. They accept 160. Of their current population base, I think about over 300 of their current students live west of Bronson. So there is a definite demand for this program,” said Patrick.

The Avalanche, now in first place, were down in points the majority of the game to Bell, the shorter team with fewer players but with a knack for three-pointers. However, the Avalanche pushed past the Bruins in the final quarter, finishing the game 71-67.

Pork, fruit and nuts for dinner

INGREDIENTS

1 pork tenderloin, (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 lb/625 to 750 g) 2 slices bacon, chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) diced onion ¾ cup (175 mL) dry seasoned bread crumbs 1 Ontario Apple, peeled, cored and chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped

toasted walnuts 1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries, halved if large 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh sage leaves (1/2 tsp/2 mL dried) Chicken broth or water Salt and pepper 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil or butter, melted PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cut tenderloin almost through lengthwise; open like a book. Place plastic wrap on top and under tenderloin; pound with rolling pin to flatten to even thickness. Set aside.

In medium saucepan or skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium-high heat until tender and browned.

Stir in bread crumbs, apple, walnuts, cranberries and sage. Moisten slightly with up to ¼ cup (50 mL) broth

until mixture holds together when pressed. Season with salt, pepper and more sage to taste.

Place tenderloin, smooth side down, on work surface.

Press filling along length of centre third; roll meat around filling to enclose completely. Tie with string at 1-1/2-inch (7 cm) intervals.

(Can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight at this point.)

Place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased baking dish.

Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Roast in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 160°F (71°C); or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside.

Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slices.

Convicted robber was hiding out in Ottawa: OPP erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A convicted robber who police say wanted to be paroled to his hometown of Ottawa rather than Kitchener, Ont., has been apprehended, according to the OPP. Ottawa police took Curtis Richard Clorey into custody the morning of Jan. 18, three days after the OPP’s repeat offender parole enforcement squad issued a public appeal for help in locating the 22-year-old man.

No further details on the arrest were immediately available, including where in Ottawa he was taken into custody.

Given the former south Ottawa resident’s previous convictions, including a weapons offence, anyone who spotted Clorey was advised not to approach him, said Det.-Const.

Steven Sermet, the squad’s Toronto-based spokesman.

“Just looking at his history of those charges that he’s serving two years and 30 days for, I would say … that

(Kitchener parole location) at all but that’s where (he was assigned by) Corrections Canada,” Sermet said.

“Corrections Canada wanted him to go there but he has friends and family in Ottawa. He wanted to stay in Ottawa – that’s why he didn’t report.”

A Canada-wide warrant

was issued for his arrest.

“The ROPE squad out there (in Ottawa) – first they did their investigation, speaking to family members, friends, any associates or where he may hang out,” Sermet said, and once those avenues were exhausted, the squad turned to the public for assistance.

at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston, Clorey was released and was to travel to Kitchener and stay in a halfway house and report to a parole officer.

Box Social always good for a few surprises

T

hey were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road. A helping hand always at the ready.

They mingled over the euchre table at the Saturday night house parties, and ate in the same kitchen when they gathered for thrashing or wood-sawing days. And yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’.

The Lutheran and United Churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a “them and us” attitude between the two churches.

Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that “Those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there is a free meal in the offing.” Mother said that was sheer nonsense, because we Lutherans weren’t

MARY COOK Memories above filling our plates at the United Church suppers either!

Take the annual Box Social for instance. It was always held at the United Church, sometimes in the summer, but often in the mid-winter months, and we Hanemans never missed it.

And that year, it was to take place as part of a Valentine’s Day celebration.

Of course, anyone as young as I would not be taking a box for the party, but certainly my sister Audrey would be right in there.

She made lists for days.

Certainly, there would be butter tarts, and fried chicken legs, and a couple of Mother’s famous sticky buns.

Packed in beautifully decorated boxes, the long table in the church hall would be stacked end to end, each one brimming with a delicious lunch, made by the young ladies of the community, and hopefully attractive enough to entice one of the young men at the social to buy it.

Some of the girls wrapped their boxes in Christmas tissue, which

back then only came in red, blue, green or white, but the plainness was taken away with the use of plenty of ribbons and anything else a girl could put on the box to attract a buyer.

He would then have the privilege of eating the lunch with the young girl who had made it. Of course, no one was to know who made up what box.

My brother Emerson, who was much too young to enter into the contest, said it was like buying a “pig in a poke,” a phrase he picked up from Father when I wasted a whole dime on a grab bag at Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store, thinking I was getting a bottle of expensive perfume, and ended up with Lyndia’s Pink Pills for Pale People!

The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies, and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding

her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing.

I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts, and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over it with crayon.

On top was a red bow, taken right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it, and I had to admit, the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on.

Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the bidding started. Audrey of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off

in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box.

To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement.

She watched one of the Thom girls boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud of my sister who made the best of it. The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home.

On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “Yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.”

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, January 21, 2016 21

Students campaign for tuition freeze in Ontario universities Students across Ontario are participating in “Time Out” (#timeoutON), a campaign asking for a tuition freeze to be implemented in Ontario’s next tuition framework, which will be established in 20162017.

The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance is rallying students to ask the provincial government for a “funded freez.” This means that yearly average tuition increases of three per cent and five per cent would no longer be allowed; the loss

in tuition revenue would be fully subsidized by increased provincial investment in universities, ensuring that quality is not impacted.

The funded freeze would reduce student debt and restore public investment in education.

Students are concerned that tuition hikes are ballooning at rates that outpace inflation, average income, or other key indicators of reasonable growth. Over the past decade in Ontario, average tuition has risen by $2,659. If average tuition had risen by inflation, this increase would have only been $767: just a third of the actual uptick.

“Tuition is not only rising, it’s rising faster than inflation, faster than government contributions, and faster than students can afford

to pay,” says Spencer Nestico-Semianiw, president of the alliance, in a press release. “By saying ‘time out’, we’re saying let’s hit pause; stopping students from taking on even more debt, allowing the market to catch up, and helping restore public higher education in Ontario.”

The last 20 years have seen tuition soar while government contributions waned in proportion. In 1992, students paid for 19 per cent of university operating budgets. By 2012, students paid for 51 per cent of university operating budgets.

Since that time, Ontario has had a publically assisted, not publically funded, education system - a key distinction the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities has acknowledged in subsequent pub-

“Quite simply, we’ve crossed an important line. The end of public higher education in Ontario is not just symbolically significant, it has a real financial impact on young people’s success,” Nestico-Semianiw says in the release. “If the province wants to reap the proven rewards of a university-educated population, it should be making the necessary investments. Young adults who are saddled with debt have a reduced capacity to make contributions to our economy, whether through investment or innovation.”

The campaign will run at the alliance’s seven member campuses across Ontario.

British murder mystery Cat‘s Cradle opens Feb. 2 can be more entertaining than a good old British whodunnit mystery, and who can do it better than the British?

Theirs is the land of Sherlock Holmes, Ruth Rendell and Agatha Christie, and countless other novels and TV series that Canadians devour through public television and local libraries.

One perennial favourite is R.D. Wingfield‘s Inspector Frost series, which first appeared on the Canadian scene with Frost at Christmas in the 1980s. So popular was the sly, rumpled Inspector Jack Frost that the novel was followed in quick succession by A Touch of Frost, Night Frost, Hard Frost, and Winter Frost. The irre-

pressible Inspector and his adventures with the Denton police force was hailed by critics as a“meaty police procedural „ that was „rude, crude and insubordinate.“ In 1992 the television series A Touch of Frost began an unprecedented 18-year run, starring the less crude and far cuddlier David Jason in the lead role, but there is another incarnation of Frost perhaps not so familiar: Detective Inspector Jack Frost of Scotland Yard in the mystery play, Cat’s Cradle, written by playwright Leslie Sands.

A friend of Wingfield‘s, Sands played Frost in the 1977 radio play, Three Days of Frost.

In Cat’s Cradle being presented by Kanata Theatre in February, we see the same world weary Frost played by actor Douglas Cuff, complete with trench coat, trilby hat and dry, wry humour.

Now on the brink of retirement, Frost returns to the sleepy village of Waverton to solve a kidnapping case that stumped him 12 years earlier. No one is happy to see him, least of all because everyone in Waverton is under suspicion. Cat’s Cradle features many of the English inspired characters we know and love – the sweet young girl, the sexy barmaid, and the impossibly snotty entitled aristocrat, to name a few. See if you can match

wits with Inspector Frost to figure out whodunnit.

The play runs Feb. 2-13 at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive at Walter

Baker Park. Tickets for Cat’s Cradle are $20. The playhouse is fully accessible, and has a hearing assist system.

Parking is abundant and free.

Ottawa airport hosts second police canine training session Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Crowds, noise, kids, trolleys coasting past, bags circling on carousels – airports serve up a high-tempo environment for canines trying to sniff out trouble.

Twenty police canines from as far away as Vancouver and Halifax converged on the Ottawa International Airport to put their noses – and their handlers – to work in a recent training exercise.

The two-week session, which wrapped up Jan. 15, was the second police canine training course hosted by the airport, following last April’s inaugural fourday course.

The focus this year was “train the trainer,” putting officers and their dogs through scenarios they can take home and share with colleagues.

“You can have multidisciplinary dogs: explosive, drug, tracking, weapons,

money,” said James Armstrong, the Ottawa airport’s vice-president of security, emergency management and customer transportation. “So we try to get

You can have multidisciplinary dogs: explosive, drug, tracking, weapons, money.

JAMES ARMSTRONG

across all of them and focus on the trainer and teaching behaviour patterns so they can go back and train their own folks.”

The focus of the recent course was putting the teams through off-leash and behaviour training scenarios.

An airport offers a challenging environment, what with crowds, kids and baggage carts.

“The dog is off the leash

and you have to rely on his discipline to do what he needs to do in a crowd,” said Armstrong, whether that is tracking an object, sitting on command or concentrating on searching a certain area.

The Ottawa airport is the only one in Canada that brings in these specialty teams, allowing them to train in its public and nonpublic zones.

“We’re the only airport they want to train with,” Armstrong added. “We’re also the only airport that offers a training environment where we allow them to move in amongst the passengers and the ground handling.”

Part of the draw for the police participants was the chance to learn from the airport canine unit’s team leader, Stephen Kaye, former president of the Canadian Police Canine Association.

Airport offers perfect venue for offleash discipline exercises Continued from page 28

Kaye is a world-renowned law enforcement canine trainer, Armstrong said.

The handlers and their dogs also spent one day during the exercise out at the old Hershey plant in Smiths Falls – a challenging work environment for the dogs with the many competing scents, he said.

In addition to preparing

the police teams for working in an airport in the event they are called in, the airport’s canine unit – all former law enforcement – also got the chance to work closely with local police, including the RCMP, OPP and Ottawa police canine handlers.

“When we do have a realworld emergency we’ve already established those rapports,” said Armstrong.

The public was also treat-

ed to seeing upwards of a dozen of the working dogs during the training.

And while there wasn’t an opportunity to nab a criminal or sniff out any contraband, a large police presence can be a good thing.

“A lot of these (handlers) come with their police cars.

It’s very clear that there’s a heavy police presence at the airport, with dogs,” Armstrong said.

“So there is naturally go-

ing to be a residual effect from it. And that’s a bonus for us. There’s a lot of pros that come from doing something like this.”

Airport officials are looking at making the training session an annual event, perhaps even twice annually.

“We want to see it grow,” Armstrong said.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Ottawa airport became the first airport in Canada to establish its own canine team five years ago, followed by Montreal’s airport.

In having their own inhouse canine team, the airport has a distinct advantage in not relying on contracting the service of local police canine units, as other airports do.

“You’re in competition with calls that are going on in the city for the use of that OTTAWA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT/SUBMITTED dog,” Armstrong said, add- Ottawa police Sgt. Paul Smith and his dog Flynn taking ing this can mean hours- part in a law enforcement canine training exercise at the long delays.

Changes due by October Staff

Ontario is making hospital parking more affordable for thousands of patients, their loved ones and caregivers.

As of Oct. 1, 2016, hospitals that charge more than $10 a day for parking will be required to provide five-, 10- and 30-day passes that are: * Discounted by 50 per cent off their

daily rate * Transferable between patients and caregivers * Equipped with in-and-out privileges throughout a 24-hour period * Good for one year from the date of purchase.

Ontario consulted with patients, patient advocacy groups, hospitals and the Ontario Hospital Association to find a fair plan that reduces the financial burden of parking fees for patients and their

visitors.

Between now and Oct. 1, hospitals will work directly with their patient and family advisory councils to implement this new policy, ensuring that it is well promoted and easy to understand. Each hospital will provide details on its specific parking policy and discounts.

About 900,000 patients and visitors including 135,000 seniors - are expected to benefit from reduced parking fees each year.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Do I need a Power of Attorney for someone to manage my assets if I am unable?

In most cases, people should have a Power of Attorney as part of their estate plan. A Power of Attorney for Property allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf with regards to your assets in the event that you are unable. There are two kinds: Continuing and Non-Continuing.

If you do not have a Power of Attorney, your family members will be subject to considerable delay and expense in getting someone appointed to act on your behalf; the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee will be involved. Ultimately the person appointed may not be the person you would have chosen.

A Non-Continuing Power of Attorney allows your attorney, who you have appointed, to manage your assets but it ceases to have effect in the event that you become mentally incapacitated and unable to manage your own affairs. These are generally used for specific purposes where an individual will be unavailable for a relatively short period of time. For instance, someone embarking on an extended holiday may appoint someone as their attorney to deal with banking and investing while they are away.

When preparing a Power of Attorney for Property, it is important to consider who to appoint and what type of powers they should have. The document must be executed in accordance with the legal requirements so it takes effect. These matters can be discussed with a lawyer who can consider your specific needs, ensuring your Power of Attorney works with your estate plan.

For most people, a Continuing Power of Attorney is appropriate for their estate plan. This allows someone to manage your assets and their power continues in the event of incapacity. A person (or persons) of your choosing will be able to act on your behalf and make decisions regarding your affairs in your best interests. This may involve small matters such as the paying of monthly utility bills or large matters, such as selling your home should it no longer meet your needs.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North COMMUNITY WORK SHOP – HELPING SYRIAN REGUFEES, Friday Jan. 22, 7-9pm, RRCK, 4101 Innovation Dr. – Tomorrow is your opportunity to learn how to get involved with helping Syrian refugees.

The workshop will outline how to donate items, offer your services to a refugee family (i.e. translating) and where to donate money. Tickets are $10 (payable at the door). Refreshments and Syrian snacks will be available.

MOSQUTIO CONTROL PROGRAM PUBLIC MEETINGS – 7-9 pm Mon. Jan. 25, St. John’s Anglican Church, 325 Sandhill Rd. & Thurs. Jan. 28, All Saints Catholic High School, 5115 Kanata Ave. Please join me for an open discussion on the proposed Nuisance Mosquito Control Program for Kanata North - why it is being proposed, how it will be carried out, why it will be benefit residents and how it will contribute to improving our knowledge on living with nature through a research study. Residents in the proposed area will soon be receiving a mailing that outlines the program and includes a ballot to record your views. Please look at all the information carefully before making a decision.

WHERE SHOULD WE PUT TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES? City Council approved funds for each Councillor for providing Temporary Traffic Calming (TTC) measures in their ward. Many of you have already contacted me about issues in the neighbourhood and I would like to hear from others before deciding on what measures to implement in 2016. Visit my website for details and send me your suggestions

by Feb. 15th to Marianne.wilkinson@ottawa.ca. I will be meeting with staff to finalize our ward program. Speed bumps are not included under this priority and the plan for Knudson, developed with residents in 2014, is funded separately for implementation in 2016.

CHECK YOUR ROUTE BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR – Changes were made to OC Transpo routes last Sunday due to LRT construction west of downtown. Further changes are coming in June, so check your bus route and schedule regularly. Travel times to downtown may be slightly longer, particularly during rush hour. For details go to octranspo.com.

DEALING WITH SNOW – When 7 cm or more of snow is forecasted all cars must be off the streets in Kanata North from 1 am to 7 am.

I have asked Bylaw to come to the ward to ticket offenders as they hinder snow clearing and make it dangerous for others. DO NOT shovel or push snow into the road and report any individual or snow operator that does to 311. Help make our streets safer by keeping them clear.

KNL’S PLAN RE ENDANGERED SPECIES has been posted with the Ministry of Natural Resources with a deadline of Feb. 3rd to send in your comments. After that, the Ministry will review the comments to determine if a Defined Benefit Permit will be provided to KNL, which is a major requirement for them to start construction on their lands along the north side of the Kizell Wetlands. Information on how to view the posting and contact the Ministry are on my website.

Mosque welcomes refugees to ‘vibrant community’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

As immigrants themselves, many members of Masjid Jami Omar felt it was only right to make sure Canada’s newest residents feel at home.

The Bells Corners mosque greeted 157 recently arrived Syrian refugees to the community by holding a welcoming ceremony on Jan. 16.

The mosque is working in partnership with non-profit Resettlement and Family Services Samaritians and Ansar to help refugees make the transition to living in Canada.

“For them it’s a cultural shock to come

from a Muslim country where you hear the call to prayer every day and then end up in Canada which is frozen,” said Dr. Solly Gardee, the president of the mosque’s board.

“We want them to know there is a vibrant Muslim community here and that once they settled in, they’re going to be very comfortable in this country.”

Gardee knows well what it can be like arriving in Canada as an immigrant, having fled South Africa in the late 1960s when it was under the rule of the apartheid regime.

Mosque members help with culture shock Continued from page 33

“The goal is to get them assimilated into Canadian life as soon as possible and to feel comfortable and welcome,” Gardee said.

The mosque initiative has already welcomed two other large groups of refugees and is helping them with practical needs, such as finding permanent accommodation, providing warm clothing and translation services.

‘NO LIFE ANYMORE’

Mohamed Zena, 21, was one of the Syrian refugees welcomed by the mosque.

Zena, who is the oldest of eight siblings, fled Daraa, a city in southern Syria, where demonstrations broke out against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2011.

Zena was in high school when the civil war broke out and the situation became untenable for his family.

“It became impossible to go to school,” he told Metroland Media through a translator.

“There were no services, no electricity. There was no life any more.”

The family travelled to Jordan, where they lived in a refugee camp for two months

before being moved into a house.

Struggling to get by on what the United Nations Refugee Agency was providing his family, Zena took a big risk and started working under the table for a seamstress.

He was told the government would have sent him back to Syria if he was caught.

Zena said the family was overjoyed when his father received a call from the UN

Acres, handed out the toys.

The sisters, who attend Sainte-Genevieve Catholic School, gathered more than 500 stuffed animals to give to refugee children.

The mosque’s imam, Anver Malam, gave each family a gift pack with some basic needs and the refugees also received a meal before joining their new congregation in prayer after the ceremony.

“This is extremely important as not only a Muslim,

but as a Canadian,” he said.

“Canadians are known throughout the world for values, generosity and humanitarian work.”

Malam said many of the mosque’s current members were new immigrants decades ago. One day he expects the newcomers who were welcomed this month will one day be the “Ansar” – the helpers – and will greet the next generation of new Canadians.

The goal is to get them assimilated into Canadian life as soon as possible and to feel comfortable and welcome.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Congratulations to MP Karen McCrimmon on the opening of her constituency office. Thank you for inviting my office to your Grand Opening and the opportunity to visit with you and your staff.

The outdoor rinks are finally becoming operational for everyone. Again I want to thank the volunteers who work in the cold and wet conditions to make these outdoor community rinks possible. I would like to single out the folks at Meadowbreeze this year as they have had additional challenges to manage. There has been a lot of construction in the area and a new larger rink has been donated in addition to the already popular rink they have maintained for years.

Good news - the rink boards for the new larger rink will be arriving within days of when you read this column! We will also be hosting a public event at the rink in the weeks ahead to showcase all the work going on to enhance your park.

agency, informing him they would be settled in Canada.

“We were extremely happy as this was somewhere we could feel safe,” he said.

Zena’s younger siblings beamed as they received stuffed animals at the ceremony, along with every other child.

Traffic Concerns regarding Metric Homes Development I have raised concerns both publicly and privately with the plans for the new Metric Homes development on Terry Fox and the potential traffic implications this development may have on Kanata South residents. I had asked for advance turn signals to be installed as well as other measures to ensure streets like Winchester and Castlefrank don’t become racetracks. On your behalf, I was very clear that we do not support another vanity bridge being built and that we want the heavy or peak traffic to use Terry Fox, Hope Side Road and Huntmar but not the side residential streets where people live. These bigger roads must be attractive for users and that means the city must invest in them. The answers we received such as “we want to connect communities” are hollow statements without the investment needed and I need your support to ensure that investments are made where the traffic will go.

character during this filmthemed Family Sunday.

Participants will explore how visual artists use facial expressions and body language to tell a story.

Kids and adults working together as a family will build a story featuring a character they have seen in an artwork. They will then participate in an acting workshop and bring their character to life.

In the Gallery’s screening room, they can draw inspiration from the work of Canadian filmmakers. In the studio, they will build props, then take their turn in the spotlight and film a minimovie.

Mystery at the Art Gallery. April 10 – In this fun exploration of the national collection, clues are hiding here and there. Kids and adults will need to look closely at artworks to discover where to go next, and then solve the mystery.

Characters encountered along the way may choose to help – if given the pass-

One mystery not enough?

Participants can play a round of “Clue” with board games in the Baroque galleries.

Police lay charges in Kanata, Nepean gas station robberies Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Police have arrested and charged a 49-yearold Ottawa man after a pair of gas station robberies on Woodroffe Avenue and Eagleson Road earlier this month.

Armed with a knife, a

lone male entered a gas station on the 1400 block of Woodroffe Avenue at about 7:25 a.m. on Jan. 9 and demanded cash and cigarettes, said police in a news release.

On Jan. 12 at 1:15 p.m., the same man entered a gas station on the 100 block of Eagleson

Road, again carrying a knife, but this time demanding cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets.

Both times the man fled and there were no injuries, police said.

Police believed the robberies to be related due to “any number of things,” said robbery unit Staff

Sgt. Michael Haarbosch.

These included the time, geography, and by reviewing a video which Haarbosch said the police already had of the suspect; he was already known to police.

What could have aided identification was the fact that the robber wore

a disguise during only one of his two robberies.

“We had information about where (the suspect) might be at a particular time and we located him there and arrested him without any incident,” said Haarbosch.

That took place on Jan. 12. The location was

not his residence, Haarbosch said.

The 49-year-old man was charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of possession of a weapon and one count of wearing a disguise.

The suspect was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 13.

Early French immersion changes draw huge parent response Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa school trustees are going to make a tough decision next month.

The trustees will vote on

Feb. 9 whether or not to implement changes to the early French immersion program that have drawn mixed reviews from teachers and parents alike.

There are three changes

on the table: • introducing half day French instruction for all kindergarten students, • the addition of 60 minutes of English teaching for students in early French

immersion, • switching math classes from French to English for EFI students.

The kindergarten switch and math switches would happen in September 2016, and the addition of the 60 minutes of English would be implemented in 2018.

The original proposal, which recommended everything start in 2016, was amended.

MIXED REVIEWS

There are mixed reviews from parents for a variety of reasons. Parent council chairs and co-chairs had a chance to ask questions on behalf of their schools at a meeting at Gloucester High School on Jan. 14.

“I’ve received a lot of opinions – some are happy, some are not,” said Sandra Schwartz, the trustee for Innes and Beacon HillCyrville.

The kindergarten change is meant to improve the baseline knowledge of

French, especially in demographic groups which are less likely to continue in French immersion.

“Historically, French immersion has leaned more to higher socio-economic groups and under represented English as a second language and special needs students, “ said superintendent of instruction Neil Yorke-Slader.

Schwartz said some parents are worried having half of the day in French for their junior kindergarten children will be too confusing.

But there are also parents who strongly support French in schools, and are more concerned about any reduction in French instruction time.

Parent council co-chairs from Robert Hopkins Public School in Beacon Hill said they’re getting the same feedback from within the school – a bit of everything.

“It’s both positive and negative, it’s very mixed,”

said Tamara Taub.

Her co-chair, Adrienne Vienneau, said opinions often depend on where a child is in the school system, as a junior kindergarten parent may give different feedback than the parent of a Grade 5 student who is past the EFI age.

4,000 RESPONSES

The school board did a first round of consultation in the fall, and received almost 4,000 survey responses.

That response rate, Yorke-Slader said, is practically unheard of.

Parents largely were in support of all three of the changes to the French program in the surveys received.

Though some pointed out that not everyone got the right information or heard about the survey because of teacher labour disputes going on at the time.

English public board considers changes to French curriculum Continued from page 42

So the board did a second round of surveys, and received 4,856 responses the second time around. The data from that survey wasn’t available for Yorke-Slader to present at the Jan. 14 meeting.

Teachers polled weren’t as enthusiastic as parents, though a small majority did support two of the changes, Yorke-Slader said. A small majority did not support the introduction of half-day French in junior kindergarten.

He said it could be “scary” for teachers who don’t know what the program will mean for the their day-to-day job.

Reshuffling could mean teachers are declared surplus, and need to move to a different school.

“It would be fair to say teachers could be worried about the nature of their job,” he said. “Or it could be that it’s not a good idea.”

Trustees will have to make up their minds on Feb. 9, when they vote on whether or not to accept the changes.

At that time, they’ll have the results of the second round of public consultation surveys available to them.

BUDGET

A part of the equation for the trustees has to be the cost savings. The board stands to benefit to the tune of $2.4 million if the changes are made.

And in a year where costs have to be cut to make the budget work, the dollars could help save other programs.

“There’s a lot of stuff we need to consider,” said Orléans-Cumberland trustee Keith Penny, who said he hasn’t made a final decision on how he’ll vote on each of the three recommendations.

“But if you’re taking educational assistants away from classrooms, that’s something we are really loath to do.”

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Neil Yorke-Slader, superintendent of instruction for the Ottawa’s public school board, speaks with parent council chairs and co-chairs at a meeting at Gloucester High School on Jan. 14. The budget, as well as proposed changes to the early French immersion program, were discussed.

The future Tremblay light-rail transit station is taking shape and once open, passengers arriving at the nearby Via Rail station will be able to hop on LRT and arrive downtown within minutes, officials said.

The LRT station will function as “an intermodal link” between Via’s intercity rail service and the city’s light-rapid transit system, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, president and chief executive of Via Rail Canada, said during a press conference at the Tremblay Road Via station on Jan. 13.

The Tremblay LRT connection “will bring Canadians to the nation’s parliament within seven minutes,” he said. “So it’s a great day for Via Rail and it’s a great day for Canada.”

Tremblay station, where workers could recently be seen pouring concrete, will be

one of 13 “world-class” LRT stations on the Confederation Line, Mayor Jim Watson said following a tour of the Tremblay construction site, where he was joined by project officials and politicians from all three government levels.

“And I’m pleased to confirm that all 13 of these stations will be under construction before the end of this year,” he said. “These stations will greatly improve the customer experience for our transit users.”

Assembly of the LRT trains is also now underway.

“In fact, we’ll start testing some of these world-class LRT vehicles before the end of 2016,” the mayor said. “That’s right, 2016 will be the year you will start seeing Confederation Line trains running and being tested right here in the nation’s capital.”

Tremblay LRT station to serve as important connector: officials Continued from page 46

Almost 70 per cent of the city’s population will live within a five-kilometre trip to a light -rail station, said Watson, adding that LRT will “fundamentally transform Ottawa for generations to come.”

Construction of the first phase of the Confederation Line, which is scheduled to open in 2018, is “on time and on budget,” and once open “will improve commute times through and from the downtown core,” said Watson.

Excavation of the downtown Lyon station cavern is complete, and Parliament and Rideau stations are almost 70 per cent excavated.

“I’m pleased to announce today that the LRT tunnel will be fully excavated by this summer,” he said.

As well, more than 3.5 kilometres of track have been laid, much of it near the Belfast maintenance facility, where the light-rail trains will be parked at night, Watson said, with more large segments of track to be laid in the months ahead.

Canada’s federal infrastructure and communities minister said during the event that

Ottawa’s future LRT service “will be one of the most advanced and innovative transit systems in North America.”

Public transit is not just about moving people from A to B. “It’s about building strong, sustainable communities,” Amarjeet Sohi said.

The federal government has an “ambitious agenda” to “build the kind of communities that we all desire to live in,” and over the next two years infrastructure funding will be doubled to $20 billion, he said.

Over the next decade, the federal government will invest an additional $60 billion, shared between public transit and social and green infrastructure, to boost community “resiliency.”

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who was also in attendence, said the Tremblay station is a milestone in the construction of the LRT line, which “is creating thousands of jobs in this community, which has a significant impact on our economy.”

Watson said over the course of the buildout for phase one of LRT, 20,000 person years of employment will be created – with even more coming during the larger second phase of light-rail construction.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands.

The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights.

Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The EPR for the Trillium Line Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting January 22, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment

There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project, or impose conditions on it. These include if the Minister is of the opinion that: • The transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest; or, • The transit project may have a negative impact on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right.

Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that he or she may receive within 30 days after the Notice of Completion of the Environmental Project Report is first published.

If you have discussed your issues with the proponent and you object to the project, you can provide a written submission to the Minister of the Environment no later than February 21, 2016 to the address provided below. All submissions must clearly indicate that an objection is being submitted and describe any negative impacts to matters of provincial importance (natural/ cultural environment) or Aboriginal rights.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before. Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you’re feeling on edge lately, it may be because you haven’t had a chance to relieve stress. Exercise can be a surefire fix to what ails you, so get up and go.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead, and this will be too good to pass up. Embrace the changes that this opportunity offers.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your social life is bustling, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of the things filling your calendar. You may want to take a few days off.
