Kanata residents and members of the Muslim community gathered Friday evening to offer each other support and to discuss their thoughts and ideas on how to move forward following the attack at a Quebec City mosque.

Kanata Imam Sikander Hashmi moderated the discussion on Feb. 3 at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata, attended by about 50 people.

“It’s important that we offer support to one another,” he said. “(That we) talk about how we move forward – what we should do next as a community locally, a community nationally.”

Six men were killed and 19 others were injured when a gunman opened fire in the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec during evening prayer on Jan. 29. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the shooting as a terrorist attack in a statement on Jan. 30, describing it as an act of “senseless violence.”

According to the Office of the Coroner of Quebec, the six men who died were Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42; Abdelkrim Hassane, 41; Khaled Belkacemi, 60; Aboubaker Thabti, 44; Azzeddine Soufiane, 57; and Ibrahima Barry, 39.

Discussion following Quebec City mosque attack looks at moving forward Continued from page 1

Many at the Kanata meeting, including Lila Hammouda, expressed shock that the attack happened in Canada.

She said it felt as if the shooting occurred in her neighbourhood and not a neighbouring province.

“Just that possibility (of it happening) is a lot more real now because we’re seeing it happen in front of our eyes,” said Hashmi, who attended a

day on a Friday, will leave everything they're doing and come and stand outside in solidarity as a form of protection,” said Hashmi. “That’s very powerful.”

Although there has been support, the amount of Islamophobic comments and hate-filled messages online had others questioning where the hate stems from and what can be done to counter the fear.

funeral in Montreal for three of those killed in the shooting.

In the midst of the tragedy, others said they were floored by the outpouring of support from Canadians and nonMuslims, pointing to the vigils held throughout Canada and the public displays of solidarity – such as those where people formed human rings of protection around mosques while people were inside for prayers.

“That really says a lot that people, in the middle of the

The shooter himself was a victim of such rhetoric, said Hashmi.

“This did not just happen in a vacuum,” he said.

“There was a process that led to this outcome and we all have to take responsibility for that.”

Some suggested reaching out to their communities, interacting more with nonMuslims and having honest conversations to help dispel misunderstandings and ignorance.

Hashmi said it can be difficult for anyone – Muslim or non-Muslim – to take the first step and reach out.

“You can’t control what people do but you can control what you do,” he said.

“If you look at one another with compassion and with some understanding, there are a lot of walls and divides that we can break.”

He used the example of a time he was a “human book” for an event hosted by Ottawa Public Library where

cause I am a visible Muslim, I hadn’t had as many smiles as I ever had before in one day,” she said.

t the start of the school year, I decided it was time to upgrade my smartphone. My telecommunications provider loves me because, since 2004, I’ve only upgraded twice. They offered me a great deal on an iPhone 6s and then talked me into handing down my old phone to my pre-teen son.

The kids are always moaning that “every one of their friends has a cell phone except me.” I figured I might as well try him out on it under supervision, while I still have an ounce of control over how he’s using it. Once he’s in high school, I figure, he’ll have free rein of social media use.

I wanted to give him some guidance.

I noticed something. Maybe it’s just pre-teen hormones kicking in, maybe it’s that he’s already starting to carve out that adolescent independence, but my kid started to get really moody. He wasn’t sleeping as well. A morning person his entire life, he was suddenly dragging himself out of bed an hour too late and frequently missing the school bus.

After Christmas, I put my foot down. I started to restrict the time spent on the smartphone even more rigorously.

I took the charger out of the kitchen – also known as the central command zone – and out of sight to prevent that ha-

No plans to fix bus travel within Kanata: Manconi

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

John Manconi, general manager of the city’s transportation services, said OC Transpo has no plans to fix bus travel within Kanata during a meeting on Feb. 2.

A number of Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook residents criticized the lack of bus options to get from one end of Kanata to another.

In order for Dmitry Elman’s children to travel from Shirley’s Brook to the intersection of Katimavik

and Castlefrank roads, “they need to go through Bayshore. There is no other way to travel (there),” he said.

“My kids travel to Kanata south six days a week. They stopped using the bus completely.”

Another woman said she had the same problem getting from Morgan’s Grant to Richardson Ridge, an eight-minute drive by car but by bus it involves travelling first to Bayshore Station then back to Kanata.

an hour and 38 minutes plus a nine minute walk to get there,” she said.

Manconi said commuting within a community is a challenge in many wards and OC Transpo doesn’t have the resources to fix it, saying there’s only so much money in the budget.

“I'm not going to give you a false impression to say there’s a plan around the corner to make significant investment and improvements in that because it’s simply not on the books,” he said.

Manconi suggested people should attend city council’s budget meetings and request more funding for public transportation.

“If you want more local service you need to inform your councillors during the budget process,” he said.

City had plenty of time to plan cutting To the editor,

Are you aware that the present development in Kanata North has been in the planning stages for 14 years? Yes, since 2003. Plenty of time to have avoided winter’s harshness for this assault on wildlife.

During this time, the City of Ottawa approved a Wildlife Protocol for development land that would bring the least harm possible to animals’ habitats who were to be displaced or killed in the development process. It was agreed following clearly understood biological cycles, that fall was the least injuri-

ous time to bring in heavy equipment to remove all trees and dig up the land, and that winter was the most injurious of all four seasons to do so.

How is it that Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Marianne Wilkinson ignored the agreed upon protocol? What was the point of earlier meetings with wildlife specialists to identify the least injurious policy to wildlife?

This exposed charade of concern for wildlife needs to have answers supplied to the public who have paid tax dollars for consultation time to reach an agreement there was no intention of follow-

ing. http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/ your-city-government/counciland-standing-committees Read section 8G of this link to witness city protocols that were deliberately ignored.

The public is not asking that there be no development, only that developers’ profits and increased tax money to the city not be the only factors governing decisionmaking.

It would be constructive for you to object to the mayor and Coun.

Wilkinson of Kanata North how underhanded and cruel their permission to the developers’ winter

land devastation was. Be prepared, though, to be told that biologists were on site during the clear-cut prepared to assist and provide remedy to whatever animals needed it.

Really? And just exactly what remediation was provided by whom for what terrified and injured creatures?

After all, they are only animals.

Attacks will make us stronger

T

he murder of six people and the wounding of others at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec on Jan. 29 shocked all of Canada. And yet in the midst of all of the horror of this tragic shooting, Canadians have come together.

Such hatred, prejudice and racism as represented by this act of violence have no place in our society, and Canadians across the country have been quick and unified in denouncing such action and showing love and compassion for those directly impacted.

Are you surprised?

By the shooting and deaths — yes, because an attack like this on those in a worship space has not happened before in this country. But we have not been surprised by the reaction of Canadians because we care about each other, we respect each other’s beliefs and we value our diversity.

The actions of one person, as evidenced in this tragedy, are not going to shake our faith in each other. If anything, this has become an opportunity to express what it means to be a Canadian, what it means to be a part of a society that embraces dif-

ficult cultures, different faiths, different viewpoints and how our common values are paramount and bring us together as one.

Will we ever forget this tragic shooting and those who died or were injured?

No, just as we have not forgotten the 1989 massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal where 14 women were killed in a rampage, also by a solo shooter filled with hatred.

And just like the Montreal massacre has led to ongoing and enhanced awareness of violence against women, we know that this murderous rampage in Quebec City will become a similar incident of focus that will lead to greater awareness and advocacy of our Canadian belief in diversity and acceptance.

So those who died on Jan. 29 will not have died in vain.

Their memory will live on and will be yet another building block in the continuing project of creating the Canadian society that we all want to see and experience, one that respects and enjoys the diversity and differences that each of us brings to our cultural mosaic.

Hold on tight as province puts brakes on road tolls

S

ure, it’s kind of cheap fun to sit back and watch the city of Toronto fight with the Ontario provincial government. Too bad there has to be a winner, some would say.

But the issue is serious and might be coming our way in the not-toodistant future. The argument is over tolls on highways. Toronto, after years of dilly-dallying while its traffic congestion went from bad to awful, finally bit the bullet and decided to start charging drivers for the use of the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway.

Not so fast, said the province, for reasons that may not be entirely non-political.

It’s an interesting and important discussion.

The Don Valley and the Gardiner are the two main entrance roads into Toronto’s downtown. They clog

and expansions to public transit.

And there is a mystery to how you persuade members of car-addicted nation not to get behind the wheel.

Money is the answer here, as it Funny Town is to most things. Put lots and lots of money into public transit. And where does that money come from? for long periods in the morning and Well, for years Ontario cities hoped afternoon.

gry. Others thought it was not a bad idea. And a third group thought it was a good idea that didn’t go nearly far enough.

Tory’s proposal, a $2 a time toll for use of the Don Valley and the Gardiner, was seen as occupying an unfortunate middle ground — enough to be irritating but not enough to deter most drivers and not enough to raise the big money Toronto’s transit system needs.

There were better ways, it was suggested.

But just when the debate over the plan was about to begin, Ontario’s Premier, Kathleen Wynne, stopped it by declaring that Toronto would not be allowed to put tolls in place.

There is the suggestion that this was done to curry favour with people who live in the suburbs surrounding the city, whose votes Wynne needs in an election.

She sweetened the pot a bit by offering the city a larger share of gasoline tax revenues, which is nice, but the deterrent effect of a toll was lost. If it was there in the first place.

The mystery continues, no nearer to a solution.

New Catholic school planned for north Kanata

SERVING KANATA NORTH

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Catholic school board is looking to build a new school in north Kanata.

The board submitted a site plan application and zoning bylaw amendment to build a onestorey elementary school at 785 Goulbourn Forced Road near Terry Fox Drive and Kanata Highlands Public School.

Ken Kary, manager of planning and construction for the Catholic school board, said the board has had plans for two schools in the area for years, the first being St. Gabriel School.

“We don’t have a school in the Morgan’s Grant area,” he said.

“We definitely need one.”

The new elementary school will serve students from junior kindergarten to Grade 6 and help alleviate space issues at St. Gabriel’s, which currently has 10 portables, Kary said.

It will feature 20 classrooms with space for 461 students, as well as a child-care centre that will offer preschool and before and after school care.

The site is currently being cleared with construction to begin as soon as the plans are approved, said Kary. The school is planned to open by Sept. 2018.

LEARNING TOOL

The design for the new school will be the same as those recently built in Barrhaven and Cumberland, featuring flexible learning spaces — such as being able to work in the hallways while still being under supervision — learning pods and an outdoor classroom.

“Kids learn differently,” said Kary. “Some like to sit in the corner, some are very social and animated and work very well in

The building itself is a learning tool, he said, with exposed ceilings, labels on pipes for things like hot water, air and gas, and a portion of floor that students will be able to look through and see what the foundation looks like underground, said Kary.

The school is within phase 8 of the Kanata North Lands subdivision in the South March Highlands, encompassing 2.6 hectares of land.

A previous location in the same area was zoned for a school but can’t be used anymore since no road will be constructed there.

“We’ve had to move this site a little to the west and put it on Terry Fox because that’s where the services are available,” said Kary.

The property will feature a play area with an open grass and landscaped area, as well as garden plots and an outdoor classroom.

A 12-metre mature tree buffer will be kept on the west and north side, said Kary.

The site is bordered by Terry

Fox Drive to the north, the future realigned Goulbourn Forced Road to the east, vacant residential land to the west, and the future Walden Drive extension and residential development to the south.

Comments from the public must be submitted by Feb. 13 and can be emailed to kathy.rygus@

ottawa.ca or called in to 613-5802424 ext. 28318. For more details on the site plan or to submit comments online, visit Ottawa. ca/devapps.

The target date for a decision on the site plan application is March 7, while a decision is expected on the zoning bylaw amendment by March 28.

Week in Review

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

I have heard from many residents this past week regarding having Ottawa become a Sanctuary City. There have been very few details regarding this motion circulated prior to Council so I am writing this prior to seeing what will actually be submit at Wednesday’s meeting, however, based on statements to date, I will not be supporting a motion that is intended to give away your hard earned tax dollars to anyone who asks.

The notion of free bus service, health care, welfare, housing and even the right to vote for anyone who asks without proof of citizenship or the current basic qualifications shows just how little respect some Councillors have for the good people of Ottawa.

Kanata United Church Giant Book Sale celebrates 25 years RUTH WINTER

February is often the coldest month of the year. So, what better way to avoid the cold than to sit in a warm, comfortable chair with a good book.? And what better place to find a good read than at the annual Kanata United Church Giant Book Sale?

2017 marks the 25th anniversary of this extraordinary sale that supports various charitable organizations.

The sale has grown significantly since its inaugural opening 25 years ago. Its origins can actually be traced back to neighbouring Stephen Leacock Public School.

When Stephen Leacock Public School decided to end its book fair run, members of Kanata United Church who had volunteered at the school sale asked if they could continue the annual sale at the church.

A new Book Sale era had

begun.

Kanata United Church watched its book sale grow from a few thousand books in its first year to well over 20,000 by 2007.

This year, the sale will offer a staggering 45,000-plus books. The sale is now touted as one of the largest used book sales in the Ottawa area, with a reputation of both excellent quality and excellent organization.

Over 45 book categories are available each year from art and architecture to parenting and travel, with all fiction categories sorted by author for easy searching.

The sale’s success is largely due to the generosity of local bibliophiles who donate quality books to this sale. As well, the many volunteers from the church and surrounding community work on the sale almost year round, collecting, sorting, pricing and storing books for the next year.

A T A N KA NTRUM CE

Most importantly, the sale has raised money for many charitable organizations over the years including Habitat for Humanity, the Ottawa Mission, the West End Chaplaincy, the Ryan’s Well Foundation and the Kanata Food Cupboard.

In its beginnings, the book sale was a one-day event. The sale now spans over three days with an additional ‘Kids Only’ afternoon for little ones to shop for children’s books away from the crowds. This year, the sale will run from Feb. 23 to Feb. 25, open Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The ‘Kids Only’ sale will run on Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The 24-hour book drop will only be open at the church, 33 Leacock Dr., until Feb. 10. For more information, please contact kuc.ca or call 613-592-5834.

See you at the sale.

Past and present members of the Kanata Kareer Group celebrate the volunteer organization’s 15th anniversary of providing support in the community on Jan. 31.

Kanata Kareer Group celebrates 15 years ‘We didn’t know people would keep coming, that people would continue to be laid off’: founder

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Kareer Group celebrated 15 years in existence on Jan. 31.

The volunteer-run organization has provided peer support to more than 1,000 people dealing with job losses while preparing them with the resources they needed to find new employment.

“When we sat down in October 2001 and talked about forming this group, we had planned it

would peter out in eight months — we were all going to have jobs,” said Catherine Chamberlain, founder of the group. “We thought that was a reasonable goal. We didn’t know people would keep coming, that people would continue to be laid off.”

Chamberlain was laid off from JDS Uniphase in August 2001 along with around 500 other employees of the corporation.

Other high-tech companies were also consolidating and downsizing, leaving many out of work.

Peter Lougheed, then-minister of Kanata United Church, challenged Chamberlain to find a solution.

“We were discussing how it was that there was no support in this end of the city for people who were unemployed,” said Chamberlain. “Peter challenged me, (asking) ‘What are you going to do about it?’”

She outlined her idea for a support group, and Lougheed offered the church as the meeting space, which it has provided for the past 15 years.

About six people attended the support group the first week.

By the second week, the number of attendees had doubled.

There were around 20 people at the third meeting and, six weeks in, the group had to move to a larger space within the church to accommodate everyone who showed up, said Chamberlain.

“At one point, we had over 100 people at one meeting,” she said.

CELEBRATION

A number of past and present members celebrated the career group’s 15th anniversary with a cake, some short speeches and a networking opportunity at the Kanata United Church.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Hydro Shell Game Apparently the Premier is now considering ‘doing something’ about the hydro delivery charge.

When I heard what her plan was, I couldn’t believe it. She’s considering paying for delivery charges out of ‘general revenue’.

But if this happens, you’ll still be paying for all those secret fees hidden in your hydro bill.

You’ll either be taxed more for it, or the government will just borrow more money and increase Ontario’s already gigantic debt.

There’s only so many times a failing government can hit the reset button and expect to be taken seriously. But all Wynne is doing is continuing the hydro shell game. Don’t be fooled.

The next election just can’t come soon enough!

Career group helps job seekers stay sharp Continued from page 17

L’ENFANT D’ABORD.

Along with the cake and other assorted refreshments was a box of a dozen doughnuts — meaning someone had landed a job.

“We have a tradition that when you get a fulltime job you bring a dozen doughnuts to one of the meetings,” said Mike Lukie, of Barrhaven, who recently was offered a full-time job with Syntronic after working on contract for six months.

“Because I’m working every day I can’t attend the meetings, this was my opportunity to give back to the organization and provide a little cheer and comfort to people who are still looking.”

Lukie first heard about the group when he was unemployed in the early 2000s. He attended a few sessions and then landed a job. When he was laid off in 2014, “I immediately thought of the Kanata Kareer Group and joined the executive a while after that,” he said.

“I felt it was good for me to exercise my skills in various areas so I could keep sharp and keep active,” said Lukie. “It’s very supportive and encouraging type of environment.”

The support group meets weekly and employs a number of games and resources, many created 15 years ago that are still used today, to help its members work on their personal pitches. The group also brings in guest speakers and hosts workshops.

“People detest interviews,” said Kevin Chapman, who sits on the group’s executive committee. A number of interview workshops are held throughout the year and are always well attended, he said.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Catherine Chamberlain, founder of the Kanata Kareer Group, talks about how the group came to be during the organization’s 15th anniversary celebration on Jan. 31.

“If they can isolate a question and try and answer it and get feedback — both positive and negative from their colleagues — it’s really, really helpful,” said Chapman. “It’s better to practise interview questions in front of friends than your potential employer.”

And that’s the main goal of the group — to provide information, feedback, assistance and, most importantly, support.

“It’s to get people out of the house, to socialize,” said Chamberlain. “They’re not alone. There are so many people in the same boat. There’s so much support.”

The choices are endless, and so is the comfort.

The tournament will wrap up with the fourth annual Coaches Game on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 4 p.m. at the Richmond arena in Richmond.

This year there will be a “ring toss” at half time at this Coaches Game. This is being done as a fundraiser for the Kayla Bradford GoFundMe campaign. The game itself should be lots of fun to watch as the coaches and assistant coaches try to demonstrate their ringette skills. They will be lining up as Team McMinn versus Team Gorham.

Besides all of the tournament games, the NRL game and the Coaches Game, the tournament also will feature Bunnyfest, which will involve 4-to 7-yearold ringette players on the ice in Carp on the Sunday afternoon, Feb. 12. These “Bunnies” will be playing short ringette games as well as enjoying special crafts and snacks.

The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) would like to thank all of the tournament sponsors for their support and contributions to this tournament. A big “thank you” also goes out to the WORA ringette families for all of the volunteer hours they contribute during the tournament to help make it so successful.

Create a paper copy of the contact information for your family, your children’s friends (and their real names) and other important people/offices, such as medical facilities, doctors, schools, or service providers.

2. SHARE.

Play it safe and include a recent photograph of every family member, along with fingerprints. You may also want to store valuable memorabilia, jewelry, and priceless family photos, letters and documents here as well.

Creating your Family Emergency Communication Plan starts with one simple question: “What if?”

“What if something happens and I’m not with my family?”

“Will I be able to reach them?” “How will I know they are safe?”

“How can I let them know I’m OK?” During a disaster, you will need to send and receive information from your family.

Communication networks, such as mobile phones and computers, could be unreliable during disasters, and electricity could be disrupted. Planning in advance will help ensure that all the members of your household—including children and people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs, as well as outside caregivers—know how to reach each other and where to meet up in an emergency. Planning starts with three easy steps:

Make sure everyone carries a copy in his or her backpack, purse, or wallet.

If you complete your Family Emergency Communication Plan online at ready.gov/make-a-plan, you can print it onto a wallet-sized card. You should also post a copy in a central location in your home, such as your refrigerator or family bulletin board.

3. PRACTICE.

Have regular household meetings to review and practice your plan.

If you are using a mobile phone, a text message may get through when a phone call will not. This is because a text message requires far less bandwidth than a phone call. Text messages may also save and then send automatically as soon as capacity becomes available.

Text is best!

2017 Arts in Kanata-Carleton STAFF

When a dynamic group of community leaders comes together, you can bet something exciting will happen.

A steering committee with representatives from the Kanata Theatre, the Kanata Symphony, the Kanata Choral Society, the Kanata Art

Gallery, the Kanata Band, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the Goulbourn Male Chorus wanted to present a celebration for Canada’s 150th birthday in their own community, and make it accessible to families free of charge.

The result: The KanataCarleton Cultural Festival,

presenting a full day of festivities and entertainment featuring local arts and cultural groups.

The diverse groups in Kanata and the surrounding area will gather throughout the day on May 27 to present music, theatre, dance, singing and orchestral performances, and display artwork at the Earl

of March High School and Sandwell Green Park.

However, Kanata-Carleton has a wealth of activities happening throughout the year.

So, to promote the festival and local talent, a 50-page booklet highlighting numerous arts and cultural groups and their yearly schedules has been made available with the sup-

port of Fernbank Crossing.

The booklets are now available at libraries, community centres, businesses, and through your local councillor.

This is a valuable tool for local residents to use throughout the year as a reference guide to their entertainment.

It also showcases the number of groups that are active in our community. It is a calendar and a reference guide for Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Goulbourn residents.

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

Natasha was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2008 after completing her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of New Brunswick (2004) and her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Ottawa in 2007.

Originally from the East Coast, Natasha relocated to Ontario and worked as a sole-practitioner in Pembroke for eight years, where she built a successful practice and a reputation as a results-oriented client advocate, prior to relocating to Ottawa. Her practice has focused primarily on family law; however, she has also represented clients with criminal and child protection matters. Natasha has significant experience appearing before both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice. Her work in Pembroke has finely developed both her experience in and comprehension of legal issues which have a military/ Federal Government nexus.

Natasha has routinely been called upon to assist clients with the following:

• Advising of the rights and obligations which arise from a cohabitation or marriage and preparing a cohabitation or marriage contract to ensure that the client’s interests are protected; • Advising of the rights and obligations which arise from a separation; • Assisting clients through the mediation process and preparing a written contract encompassing the agreements reached in mediation; • Negotiating an agreement which addresses all issues that may arise from a marriage and its breakdown; • Initiating or defending an application in the Ontario or Superior Court of Justice; • Preparing for and advocating on behalf of her clients throughout the trial process, should it be necessary.

Relatively new to Ottawa’s growing West end, Natasha enjoys exploring all the area has to offer. She looks forward to growing her practice here and fully integrating into the community.

John Manconi, general manager of the city’s transportation services, admits that changes to the bus service in north Kanata did not go well at a meeting held Feb. 2. More than 80 people attended the meeting with OC Transpo officials to voice their frustrations at the route changes that came into effect for Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook in December 2016.

‘We’ve missed the mark’: transportation head OC Transpo hears from frustrated residents

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

OC Transpo officials have heard loud and clear from residents that the north Kanata bus changes are not working.

More than 80 people turned out to a meeting with OC Transpo officials on Feb. 2 to voice their frustrations at the route changes that came into effect for Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook in December 2016.

Since the elimination of routes 60 and 93 and the addition of routes 63 and 64, many said they’re facing longer commute times, additional transfers and missed connections, buses that don’t arrive at their scheduled time — if at all — and confusion over incorrect informa-

tion on OC Transpo’s website and at bus stops.

John Manconi, general manager of the city’s transportation services, admitted the changes did not go well.

“We’ve missed the mark and we apologize for that,” he told the crowd. “That accountability rests with me and that’s why I'm here today.

“Obviously there’s some things we didn’t get right.”

Manconi was joined by six other officials from OC Transpo.

“This is a solutions-oriented meeting,” said Manconi. “This team and myself will be dedicated to this.”

OC Transpo has fielded numerous complaints from residents since

January and heard dozens more at the meeting.

Manconi said there are supervisors who will ride-along with passengers to experience their trip frustrations first-hand.

“We’ll go with you on your jour-

public transportation.

She tried everything to make taking the bus work for her, she said, including alternating her work start and end times and parking at the Innovation or Eagleson parkand-rides. But her commute stayed

“I’m your target market. I work for the public service.

There’s a lot of public servants here. You absolutely want me riding that bus.”

DOMINIQUE BOUCHARD, NORTH KANATA RESIDENT

ney,” he said. “We’ll unlock what’s going on there.”

Dominique Bouchard, who commutes five days a week from Morgan’s Grant to her office downtown and back, said she finally gave up on

around an hour and 20 minutes.

“I just gave up altogether and started driving into work,” said Bouchard, adding the $450 she pays for parking and 35 minutes she spends driving herself is worth it

because she saves six hours of commuting every week.

She suggested that some buses leaving from Innovation Station in the morning rush hour travel straight downtown, with no stops in between, to make commuting faster.

“I’m your target market,” she said. “I work for the public service.

There’s a lot of public servants here.

You absolutely want me riding that bus.”

CHANGES

Changes have already been made to address certain issues, said Pat Scrimgeour, director of transit customer systems and planning with OC Transpo, while others won’t be implemented until April and December 2017.

More bus fixes scheduled for April, December 2017 Continued from page 25

Changes that have already been made include: • Eastbound trips will only stop to drop off people when requested at the Queensway (upper level), Lincoln Fields, Dominion and Westboro stations to speed up trips to downtown.

• Signal timing for the left turn light at Terry Fox into Innovation Station has been adjusted to reduce wait times; OC Transpo is also looking at installing busactuated signals where route 63 crosses March Road at Old Carp Road and Maxwell Bridge and at Shirley’s Brook Drive and Morgan’s Grant Way. • Additional route information have been given to bus drivers.

• GPS information for bus operators has been corrected.

• Stop times at the first stop for routes 63 and 64 have been corrected and timetables online have

• Signage at Innovation Station and information

posted at Lincoln Fields Station and online has been corrected.

Changes that are to be made in April include: • All westbound trips by

routes 63 and 64 will operate through to Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook (no change of bus will be required at Innovation Station).

• All buses will be marked for their destination, either Morgan’s Grant or Briarbrook.

• Service to and from the Kanata North Business Park will be increased from every 20 to 30 minutes to every 15 minutes.

Fixes to be implemented

by December 2017 include increased bus service to the area thanks to new buses purchased with city and federal funding.

Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson said it’s important that people send in feedback any time there’s a problem.

“This is not going to be an easy job, they’ve got a complicated area (to fix) here,” she said. “It’s going to take some time I'm afraid but we’ll try to do the best we can to improve it from what you’ve got now.”

EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS

Aside from weekday commuting challenges, OC Transpo wants to hear from riders to evaluate the level of service needed for evenings and weekends.

A number of people, including university students who have classes until late at night and those working retail jobs on weekends, lamented the lack of bus service in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays.

Scrimgeour said those who require evening and weekend service should write in describing where they travel from and to, at what times, and how many days a week.

“We’ll look at what the travel need is,” he said.

Riders with complaints or comments are encouraged to contact OC Transpo directly by calling 613-7414390, emailing ocserve@ octranspo.com or visiting octranspo.com.

Health survey examines western communities

BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

What is the state of health and wellbeing in the western end of Ottawa?

That’s the question that a new survey hopes to get a handle on, as the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) takes part in an effort to get a snapshot of the health and wellbeing of people living in western Ottawa communities.

According to the WOCRC the “Be Well” survey covers important aspects that affect health and wellbeing. The information gathered during the survey will help the organization better understand what is needed in the area going forward.

“This is a first for us,” said the WOCRC’s Katrina Guerin. “We’ll see what we get.”

The survey is part an Association of Ontario Health Centres effort to analyze the role health centres in the

province play and what services are needed in specific areas that may differ significanly when it comes to demographics.

As far as Guerin knows, this is the first time the western part of Ottawa is part of the survey. The Ontario organization will oversee the survey, as in other others, and share area specific findings with the WOCRC. The WOCRC covers a “huge area” Guerin said, including many rural communities as well as more suburban/urban areas such as Kanata and Stittsville.

The survey, which is ongoing until March 8 can be done online or can be picked up at the WOCRC, and has also been dropped off at some doctor’s offices in the western end of Ottawa.

The Be Well survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and all information is strictly confidential. The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com/r/WOCRC

Post-concussion therapies, health showacse hosted by studio on Feb. 10 A showcase of services and presentations on physical rehabilitation will be held Friday, Feb. 10, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Beyond Wellness Centre, on Hearst Way. Many of the presenters and showcase exhibitors call Kanata home -both personally and for business.

The event is hosted by Opticalm Visual Stress Solutions, a new Kanata company offering the first visual stress testing equipment in Canada.

Other presenters include chiropractic

care, counselling, physiotherapy and yoga.

There will also be representation from rehabilitation specialists from other areas of Ottawa in optometry, occupational therapy, massage therapy, naturopathy, osteopathy and chiropractic therapy.

The presentations are medical in nature and targeted at members of the rehabilitation community to further their knowledge of treatment options. Part of the presentation high-

lights the number of different therapy options that are available to people suffering from neurotrauma from concussions or other causes. The intent is that the rehab community network and learn from each other.

The event is free.

The showcase portion starts at 3:30 p.m., after the presentations, and goes to 5 p.m.

For tickets, see Eventbrite and search for Visual Stress and Rehabilitation, or Opticalm.

Carrot and farro salad a tasty alternative for lunch This salad is packed with fresh ingredients, chewy farro and beans. Leftovers pack well for lunch. Look for farro in the bulk section at your supermarket. If you like, substitute pearl barley for the farro.

Unlocked Ottawa opens escape room doors in Kanata ‘We approached this with the idea that we couldn’t just open another escape room’

Kanata’s Unlocked Ottawa opens its doors as the city’s newest escape room. Unlocked is a joint venture between Melissa Sydney (left), Calvin Joy (centre), Candice Gertsman, as well as Rebecca Joy and Jessica Lim (not pictured).

Kanata is home to the city’s newest escape rooms with the opening of Unlocked Ottawa.

Unlocked is a joint venture between five friends who grew up in the in area and wanted to bring something unique to the community.

The two escape rooms offer something different from other venues in the city.

“We’re a little bit different. I think we approached this with the idea that we couldn’t just open another escape room,” said Candice Gertsman, who grew up in Kanata Lakes and now lives in Centretown.

“We were thinking, what would we have wanted when we were here? What would we have wanted when we were teenagers, young adults? What do we want now?”

Unlocked features two escape rooms with plans to open a third in the spring.

The first room, the Krylon

Crew versus the Police Duo, is “a modern take on cops and robbers,” said Gertsman.

Teams of two to three people compete against each other — the police to arrest the robbers and the robbers to escape the police — in the same space with identical puzzles while racing against the 35-minute time limit.

“The idea of a competition came up and we were excited by that because no one’s done that that we know of,” said Melissa Sydney, who lived in Alta Vista and now resides in Barrhaven.

“It adds a sense of urgency when you see that they’re pulling down something or opening a box you haven’t gotten into yet,” added Calvin Joy, a former Katimavik resident who now lives in Barrhaven.

The sense of urgency is real. A group of four Metroland reporters — three escape room newbies and one veteran — tried out the Krylon Crew room in January.

Escape rooms non-threatening, appeal to wider audience: co-founder Continued from page 36

With only a chain-link fence separating the two teams, you can hear and see everything your opponent is doing — all the while knowing the clock is ticking down.

Gertsman said it’s fun watching the teams compete — some are loud, calling out their answers while others try to hide everything they do from the opposing side.

No matter who wins, it’s all in good fun.

“We’ve designed it in such a way that somebody is going to win,” said Joy. “If you make it to 35 minutes and no one gets out it’s not as much fun.”

The other escape room, Our Man on Sussex, is a col-

laborative effort for larger groups with a success rate of about 25 per cent.

“Our Man on Sussex is one of the largest capacity rooms in the city,” said Gertsman. “We’re always trying to think outside of

the box.”

The idea was also to create rooms that anyone can play, whether for a fun family activity, a night out for friends, or a corporate team-building exercise.

“All our themes are non-

threatening so that it’s more appealing,” said Sydney.

“There’s no darkness so that is one thing that really sets us apart.”

‘The response we’ve been getting is just so rewarding’ Continued from page 37

The team — made up of Joy, 27, his sister Rebecca, 24, 27-year-olds Gertsman and Sydney, and 29-year-old Jessica Lim — came together early last year after Sydney and Rebecca entered an escape room design competition.

“We didn’t win,” said Sydney with a laugh. “We just did the competition for fun and then once we started really talking about it we decided that we really liked it and we wanted to look more into it.”

The room they designed for the competition didn’t make the final cut for Unlocked Ottawa, but it got them thinking about what

they could offer. Sydney created a business proposal and received a grant from Invest Ottawa and now the doors are open.

“They all thought this would do well so that really gave us a lot of confidence to go for it,” she said.

Unlocked had a soft opening shortly before Christmas and since then has received positive feedback from people who have tested it out.

“No one’s had a bad time, which to us kind of blows us away because we don’t have a lot of experience designing rooms,” said Sydney.

“It’s very confidence inspiring.”

Some have said they found the puzzles too difficult, so the team is looking at creat-

ing two versions of Our Man on Sussex — an easier room for first-time escapees and those just looking to have fun, and a harder more competitive room for those who want the additional challenge, said Sydney.

“The response we’ve been getting is just so rewarding,” said Gertsman.

“You want people at the end of the day, no matter what, to have fun.”

Aside from the two escape rooms, Unlocked also offers a board game lounge where people are invited to play old favourites or learn a new game.

“We want people to also hang out here,” said Gertsman. “I think people should come here because we’re

trying to do something different. We’re trying to fill a gap in the area and going forward, even if you're living downtown, I want people to see us and be like, ‘I think it’s worth the drive.’

“We’re doing things that no one else is doing in the city.”

City moves ahead with Wellington Street site for mega library

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

In a last-ditch effort to get the city to reconsider its preferred site for the city’s central library, advocates flooded the Jan. 31 board meeting to have their say.

John Smit, manager of policy and urban development for the city, said Lebreton Flats has been targeted as an area that would be re-integrated into the downtown. His comment was part of the staff presentation at the library board meeting that made a case for the site’s selection.

A central library was part of the two proposals that competed as part of the National Capital Commission’s call for proposals last spring. Since the plans were unveiled, Mayor Jim Watson and library board chair Tim Tierney have said the city’s process was independent.

The process included a fairness commissioner, three opportunities for public comment, and a series of criteria used to

evaluate the dozen potential sites that the board voted on.

The site is at 557 Wellington St. is near the intersection of Albert Street and Bronson Avenue. It’s also at the base of a very deep escarpment, thanks to the Booth Street hill.

Tierney said the aim was to balance land and use objectives with the goal of creating a livable, vibrant, urban area.

“There were 12 sites considered,” Tierney said, making a point of saying that Confederation Park — an idea that has popped up in the last couple of weeks — was not one of those options.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney — the only dissenting vote on Jan. 31 — held an open house on Jan. 18 after the Wellington Street site was unveiled as the favourite. More than 200 people attended the open house, but no one from the library board came, said Mariam Zohouri, a resident who said she was disappointed with the response by Watson on the issue.

“There are city officials who disagree with those who are not for the site, they should be engaged and part of the discussion, not dismissive,” she said.

McKenney said she couldn’t see why the Wellington site scored higher than the site bounded by Albert and Lyon streets.

“I can’t fathom how site six (Albert/Lyon) has a lower score for accessibility when it’s a block from a segregated bike lane,” she said.

Smit said the accessibility score is based on a mix of what exists today and what’s planned for the future.

A Nanos survey aimed to garner public opinion on the selected site was part of the staff business case presented at the meeting. The survey was completed between Jan. 10 and Jan. 17, with 1,000 randomly selected respondents.

The responses were overwhelmingly in favour of a joint facility with Library and Archives Canada as opposed to a standalone facility. The ques-

tion included the fact that the partnership would save the city $12.8 million.

The survey says 72 per cent of respondents are in favour of the selected site. The question is worded to suggest the other two sites at Albert and Lyon and Pimisi Station would cost taxpayers an additional $33.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

Advocacy groups, like Bookmark the Core, say the site is too far west of the core and it’s not accessible for those with mobility issues — such as seniors, or mothers pushing strollers.

“It’s not too late to look at a site in the downtown core,” Jevone Nicholas said. “Site six is only 80 metres from a transit site, the Wellington site is 300 metres away.”

Ed Pollitt, a Kanata resident and former urban designer, said the site isn’t in the core, and that staff should have been more creative when looking at potential homes.

He said only 20 per cent of Confederation Park would be needed to house the library. He

also suggested use of Major’s Hill Park or Marion Dewar Plaza.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom from the gallery.

Chantal Cloutier, president of the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association, said the “friends” will support the project.

“We are thrilled at what a new, modern, centralized library location will do for Ottawa,” she said, adding FOPLA will support the project by raising $500,000 annually.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli also said he supports the project. “A fair and reasonable approach has been taken to find the best location in a number of ways,” he said.

Egli said he regrets not being on library board for this term of council, as he’d like to be part of the important, city-building project.

Egli said he would support opening a satellite branch at City Hall, to make it a “people’s place.”

“I think it’s time we turn the

page on this issue, and start a new chapter in the city and get this library built,” he said.

Watson has backed the board’s decision. “I am proud to support Somerset Ward with this $168-million investment that promotes LRT (light rail transit) use,” he tweeted on Jan. 31.

The city’s share of the multi million-dollar, 20,000-square building would be $99 million.

That contribution is based on plans that the city would use 62 per cent of available floor space.

The feds would chip in the rest.

Council will get the final vote on the board’s choice of site on Feb. 8, but the financial plan won’t be available until June.

However, funds, or plans for a parking facility haven’t been included in the costs estimates.

Council will hear about a parking proposal in March.

The city hopes to have shovels in the ground by 2018, but won’t know until the spring whether or not the Library and Archives partnership has approval from the feds.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF A ZONING AMENDMENT Zoning Study: Small-scale Industrial Uses in Commercial Zones

In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-law Amendment proposal affects lands in commercial zones, city-wide, as follows: AM-Arterial Mainstreet; GM-General Mixed-Use; LC-Local Commercial Use; MC-Mixed Use Centre; MD-Mixed Use Downtown; TD-Transit-Oriented Development; TM-Traditional Mainstreet; RC-Rural Commercial Zone; VM-Village Mixed-Use Zone.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT Amendments to the Zoning By-law are being considered to permit small-scale, low-impact industrial uses, including micro-breweries, micro-distilleries and small-scale food processing associated with restaurants. The Study will also consider opportunities to permit small-scale manufacturing such as maker spaces, a location where tools and other resources are shared to produce prototypes and manufacture small batches of product. The amendments would permit land uses that combine retail store, retail food store, catering establishment, restaurant or bar with small-scale forms of low-impact industrial uses.

The study will focus on commercial zones where restaurants, bars and retail uses are already permitted. The proposed amendments would: • Define and permit low impact, small-scale industrial activities • Allow small-batch manufacturing as a non-accessory component of a business • Provide new opportunities for small business • Contribute to the development of vibrant commercial streets RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS N/A For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, contact:

Audrey’s proud moment elicits hysteria from brothers

T

he old Singer Sewing machine was considered a piece of furniture in the parlour, but in the wintertime, with the parlour closed off, the door shut, and a braided rug rolled at the bottom to keep out the cold draft, the Singer was rolled into the kitchen.

Hardly a day passed that

Mother wasn’t on the old machine. There was always a patch needed here and a hem there, and on the nights Mother wasn’t working on her diaries, she often was at the Singer sewing machine.

My sister Audrey thought it was time she could make something for herself, and finally, one winter night, after

she had badgered Mother enough, she was told she could use the sewing machine.

Well!! That was like telling Everett he was old enough to drive the Model T! Mother said Audrey should scrounge around in the handme-down box Aunt Lizzie had sent from Regina, and find one of Uncle Jack’s well-

It took her a whole evening to take apart a navy suit, press out the seams, and lay out all the pieces on the kitchen table. Mother fashioned a pattern out of the Ottawa Farm Journal, was good and tight ... that’s and Audrey turned down how the Briscoe twins were everything more than an wearing their dresses, and occasional suggestion from

Saturday, and Audrey rushed through her chores like someone possessed, and was at the Singer most of the day, stopping only for meals. I could see the dress taking form. My sister found six matching red The first thing I noticed was the buttons buttons in the button box for the front, and I had to admit didn’t match the buttonholes it looked like she had finally mastered the fine art of sewing on the machine the first time around. She was down to turning up the hem, and Mother. She was a stubborn they were considered two of pieces of navy wool scraps one all right!

Wool dress was more trouble than it was worth Continued from page 44

Finally, Audrey said the dress was finished, and she would be wearing it to church the next morning. She had no intention of trying it on first, as Mother suggested, but marched upstairs, hung it on a wire hanger behind the door, and ran her hands down the dress like it was made of solid gold!

The next morning, Audrey said it would sure be nice wearing a good wool dress to church on such a cold winter’s day, as I watched her struggle to get it over her head in our bedroom. The first thing I noticed was the buttons didn’t match the buttonholes. Audrey said it didn’t matter; she’d just wear a middy under

the dress. The sleeves looked upside down, because they were puffed under her armpits. She shot daggers at me when I mentioned the fact.

The next problem was the dress was at least six inches shorter in the back than it was in the front, and one side seam puckered like a piece of old newspaper. I decided it was best to keep these flaws to myself.

Audrey sauntered into the kitchen as she had just been outfitted by Eaton’s catalogue.

The three brothers went completely hysterical until Mother gave all of then a good cuff on the ear with one swoop.

But Audrey was going to wear the dress to church and that’s all there was to it. She was so proud of it; she even

took her coat off, and us sitting right there in the front pew! It was really the most awful dress I had ever seen, but as Mother often said, every cloud has a silver lining.

Audrey said she would be glad to make me a dress out of the same material if there was enough left. I said a silent prayer of thanks that there was nothing left but a few scraps, and they had already been chucked into the Findlay Oval.

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!
