Opioids use like Russian roulette: deputy police chief Continued from page 1

In a space where hockey parents usually watch their kids play on the ice surfaces below, a pharmacist explained how to inject naloxone into someone who is suffering an overdose of opioids: loading a needle, seeking a large muscle, and doing CPR. Representatives of local school boards attended the meeting, pledging more edu-

cation for students about the risks or fentanyl or other illegal drugs which could contain fentanyl.

“We need to get kids talking with each other (about the risks),” said public board trustee Donna Blackburn prior to the meeting. “At this point, one mistake can take a life.”

Blackburn said the public school board will likely consider whether naloxone should

be made available in schools.

Another school board official, speaking during a public question-and-answer session later in the evening, said schools want to “focus on prevention as early as possible,” adding that the provincial curriculum introduces drug discussions as early as Grade 4, and that illicit drugs are part of lessons starting in Grade 6.

DISCONNECT

Spring Sale

Some speakers described frustrating experiences dealing with the health-care system when they tried to get treatment for a child.

One man said he took his son to two hospitals, a treatment centre — which was full — and the offices of his MP and MPP, without success. He said his son is now dead.

Another parent said his family doctor provided a letter to get his daughter admitted to a hospital to see a psychologist, only to be informed no psychologist was available when they arrived at a hospital emergency room.

“It’s like they’ve never done this before,” the father said.

Cal Martell is acting CEO of eastern Ontario’s health network, the umbrella organization for the area’s hospitals.

He said there can sometimes be a disconnect between agen-

cies, and said anyone can contact Ottawa Addictions Access and Referral Services at 613241-5202 or navigator1@mri. ca if they need help navigating the health-care system.

Martell faced some out-

bursts from a number of people who questioned him about the limited amount of space in facilities that care for people with addictions.

When he said the health

network, known as the LHIN, “has added expertise,” and “is growing capacity,” at the Royal Mental Health Centre, he was interrupted by audience members who questioned why the Royal is adding psychologists after cutting addictions counsellors.

Martell said both psychologists and counsellors are needed, and agreed “We need more capacity.”

Ottawa, and that it is also being added to other drugs. Because it is added in powder form, the pills that are produced don’t have uniform doses.

“You’re playing Russian roulette every time you take one,” Bell said.

Bell added that opioid is affecting all parts of the city, and users may be any age or part of any demographic.

Anthony Di Monte is manager of the city’s emergency and protective services, which includes the paramedic service.

He said it’s impossible to say how widespread opioid abuse could become.

“We don’t know how big the bottom of the iceberg is,” Di Monte said.

He said the number of calls related to opioid use is grow-

ing. In response, the city has placed naloxone kits in all fire department vehicles, and there are plans to have them in police cars.

Dr. Isra Levy, medical officer of health, encouraged parents to discuss problems they experience and potential solutions.

“I wish I had the answers,” Levy said, adding that youthled health campaigns have proved effective, especially in fighting tobacco use. “We need to hear your ideas,” he told the audience.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson wrapped up the question-and-answer session.

“There’s a lot of hurt in this room,” Wilkinson said.

She encouraged people to continue talking about the opioid issue.

Talk to kids about fentanyl

S

everal months ago when my eldest son was 11, he got into some trouble with a supply teacher. The teacher had asked how many people in the class would give money to a homeless person. My son was one of three out of the 26 students who didn’t raise their hands. Asked to defend himself, he replied, “I’d rather give money through the church or an organization because I wouldn’t be sure the person wouldn’t use the money to buy fentanyl.”

An innocent, but well-reasoned answer. I’m sure he was haughty about it. In any event, he was asked to sit outside the class.

I credit his limited understanding of fentanyl to his regular reading of Maclean’s magazine, something I’ve tried to discourage as his little mind develops. What he missed, of course, is that fentanyl isn’t merely a problem “on the streets.”

Last year, hundreds of people in Western Canada died of opioid or fentanyl overdose, a tragic pattern that has the potential to repeat itself across the country.

Unlike typical street drugs, fentanyl has its roots in the pharmaceutical world, a powerful painkiller that’s been prescribed for post-surgical patients for nearly two decades.

In many cases, however, those who get high or overdose on fentanyl aren’t even aware they’re taking the drug. They may even believe they’re taking something legal.

It’s horrifying to think of the complexities of potential exposure to this drug. But parents cannot stick their heads in the sand.

Anyone who’s ever been a teenager, is a parent to a teenager or has encountered one knows that adolescents don’t like being told what to do.

It’s just one of the reasons why it’s important to incorporate the subject of drugs into family discussions before the kids are likely to be exposed.

Lecturing kids or frightening them into understanding that all drugs are bad and to be avoided is a no-go, especially with fentanyl, which doesn’t seem to fall into any black and white category of good versus bad.

I took my chance when my younger son, now 10, was asking if he could take some Advil for a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse minor back strain he was feeling after a rigorous gym class. There he was, climbing on the kitchen counter, to reach the high shelf where we keep vitamins and other seemingly harmless over-the-counter drugs, when I stopped him in his tracks.

“You need to let me get that for you,” I said bluntly. “It’s important that you don’t help yourself to medicine, not even vitamins.”

That was my opener. Were they aware that two young girls had died in Ottawa this week?

Not knowing the full cir-

cumstances surrounding the drug deaths, I explained that sometimes kids are taking things from friends or others that they believe to be relatively harmless pain killers or even candy, not realizing they are laced with a deadly drug.

I turned the conversation to them. Had they heard anything about this? Did they have any feelings about drugs?

“Some kids in my class can’t eat peanuts or eggs because they will break out in rash or they can’t breathe,” said my younger son. It was a decent metaphor.

“That’s right,” I said. “For the same reasons their parents warn them not to eat foods unless they know the contents, you should avoid taking any medicines or small candies from friends or strangers. It’s important, even as you get older, that you don’t take these things without checking with us.”

I wanted them to know that I love them a lot. I wanted them to know that there will be many times in their adolescent years that people will try to pressure them in different ways and they have to try to be strong in their convictions and trust in their decisions.

I walked away from the discussion feeling unsure. Did I tell them enough? Too much?

At the end of the day, however, this is the beginning of a decade-long conversation about drugs.

The real challenge will be the tricky push-pull of eventually parenting teenagers and hoping, praying that I’ve given them enough grounding in the early years to help them navigate the peer pressure that is so omnipotent in the adolescent years.

Only time will tell.

I hope you all had a great Family Day and were able to spend time with your loved ones. I was delighted to attend free skates in Carp with Councillor Eli El-Chantiry, and in Kanata with Councillor Marianne Wilkinson. It was great meeting so many families who came out to enjoy the great weather!

Aviation Day – Criminal Use of Lasers

This past week I had both the opportunity of celebrating Aviation Day with school students at the Aviation Museum, and attend an event with Marc Garneau, the Minister of Transport and Canada’s first astronaut. The event highlighted the growing problem of people pointing lasers at passing aircraft, a criminal offence. I encourage anyone who witnesses such a crime to report it immediately by calling 911.

Old Sled Run

I would like to send a big thank you to Murray Gordon and Mike O’Reilly for organizing the Old Sled Run, in support of the Legion. I was delighted to join Councillor Eli El-Chantiry at such a great event!

Rural Internet

Frustrated with your residence or business’s internet speed, or even perhaps lack thereof? Over the coming weeks, I will be making a push to improve the internet infrastructure into the rural portions of the riding.

If I am to be successful in this endeavour, I will need your help. If internet speed and access is important to you, I encourage you to visit https://performance.cira.ca and run a speed test.

This will help us improve the data capabilities that we have, and highlight areas that are underserved.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A truly Canadian voice silenced Stuart McLean of CBC radio’s Vinyl Café was a Canadian superstar. And what did he do?

He simply told stories.

Yes, famous and beloved across the country, Stuart gained his fame by telling us stories about Dave, owner of a second-hand record store, his wife Morley and their children, Sam and Stephanie.

It was a combination of Stuart’s unique storytelling technique combined with the universal appeal of the stories themselves that led to his success. You only had to hear his voice to know you were in for a treat. He had a mischievous twinkle in this voice at times, a sound that made you nervously laugh in anticipation of what was coming.

His stories would hold his audience spellbound over the airwaves, with listeners embracing every word.

Who can ever forget the Christmas turkey story or the snowy trip to Cape Breton or changing the location of an outlet in the kitchen and oh, so many more.

How many times did each of us foresee what was going to happen, wonder why Dave did not

anticipate it and then chuckle at the outcome?

History is littered with great storytellers — Shakespeare, Dickens, Jane Austen and the more modern J.K. Rowling. The American humourist and folksy raconteur Will Rogers was one who perhaps foreshadowed Stuart in some respects. And don’t forget the Ottawa Valley’s own Mary Cook among our engaging storytellers.

But Stuart seemed to take storytelling to a new level.

It was not hard to identify with those who sang his praises following his unexpected death from cancer. His stories spoke to people. They taught us the importance of the unimportant.

They showed us that the world is a good place.

All this was true and all were reasons for his popularity and success.

Yes, Stuart, we will miss you and your stories.

We will miss your humanity, your impeccable timing and the way you could hold our attention, waiting for that next thought to drop.

You are Canada’s story, Stuart — quiet, unassuming, observant, funny, but most of all, human. Goodbye, Vinyl Café.

How do we stop drugs from getting to kids?

T

he horror of drug overdoses has moved out of the alleys of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and into the living rooms of Kanata. That has jolted a lot of people into the conversation who weren’t there before.

But the conversation so far is incomplete: How to talk to kids about drugs? How to make sure that drugs to counteract overdoses are available?

Most of the discussion has focused on those two points. Less discussed is another question: How do we stop the drugs from getting to the kids?

That may be the most important question, in the long run, but we’ve almost stopped talking, as a society, about the law enforcement side of the drug issue.

Perhaps this is an unintended consequence of the so-called “War on Drugs” — a term that dates back to the Nixon presidency in the U.S. Over

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the years, the phrase has come War on drugs has battleto symbolize the ineffectiveness of approaching drugs as primarily a law enforcement issue.

Critics of the War on Drugs say that it has fostered the growth of huge illegal drug empires, while at the same time failing to stem the flow of illegal drugs. Further, the emphasis on punishment gave criminal records to people who were guilty only of possessing illegal substances.

In recent years, the War on Drugs approach has been the object of mockery and there has been a backing away from it, especially concerning

so-called soft drugs. Marijuana will soon be legal in Canada. It already is in several U.S. states.

But it’s hard to see how a similar approach can be effective in dealing with the opioid crisis that has already taken so many lives.

Marijuana has its drawbacks, and there is evidence that it can do long-run harm to young people. But it doesn’t kill them almost instantly, the way overdoses of opioids can.

The potency of some synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, is truly terrifying.

We can talk to the kids as intelligently as we are capable. But some of them are going to want to experiment.

They may be troubled, unhappy, lonely or simply curious. We can talk to them, offer whatever guidance we can, but as a society we have to keep the pills out of their hands.

And it doesn’t look like we can do

that without a massive effort to stop the importation and distribution of the illegal substances.

In other words, a war on drugs.

To be sure, part of the effort will involve persuading foreign governments, such as China, to crack down on producers and exporters. Also, work needs to be done to deal with the problem of the over-prescribing of opioids, because legal opioids are a serious problem, too.

But there’s also a powerful need for good old-fashioned law enforcement — catch those who are manufacturing, distributing and selling illegally, sometimes online, and punish them strongly In the ongoing discussion, which has been stimulated by some courageous parents in Ottawa, we need to hear more about that.

‘We miss you, Chloe’ Memorial draws friends, schoolmates

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A memorial hosted for Chloe Kotval drew a number of schoolmates who were seeking closure following her death from an apparent drug overdose.

All Saints High School, where Chloe was a Grade 9 student, hosted friends, classmates and those who knew Chloe for a private memorial on Feb. 22.

Celia Innes and Chaya Mohan, both in Grade 9, said they were attending to gain closure and remember their classmate.

“She was incredible. She was beautiful and smart and funny and relatable,” said Celia, whose locker was about 10 rows down from Chloe’s. “She was always willing to talk to you if you were having a bad day and always willing to be there for you no matter who you were — no matter if you

didn’t know her at all or you met her yesterday or you were best friends for years. She was always willing to be there for you.

“We miss you, Chloe.”

Chaya and Chloe shared some of the same classes and now that Chloe is gone, “It’s kind of unrealistic, it’s weird,” said Chaya. “It’s good to be around friends and people who knew her too and just know we’re all together in this.”

Chloe, 14, died on Feb. 14, two days after she was found unresponsive after “taking a pharmaceutical drug of unknown origin,” according to her parents Shannon Edwards and Neville Kotval.

She was rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, where tests found she had suffered “complete and irreversible” loss of brain function. Chloe’s organs were donated on Valentine’s Day. A memorial service was also held on Feb. 19 at Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes.

Big city mayors to discuss opioid crisis Watson says city will encourage councillors, police in fight against opioid problem

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Back to Work!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and thanks to everyone who made the Family Skate Day a success! The Legislature is back in session at Queens Park and we have a lot of work to do.

The Wynne government is raising the cost of electricity in our province to one of the highest levels in North America. The government has introduced a Cap-and-Trade cash-grab which will cost Ontario families hundreds of dollars more every year.

The government needs to stop making life harder for Ontario families. The government should have listened to people’s concerns long ago, and the concerns raised by so many responsible experts.

The Canada’s big city mayor’s caucus put together a task force on fentanyl overdoses earlier this month, Mayor Jim Watson said Feb. 22.

Watson and other members of the caucus will hold a telephone conference this week with Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Health Minister Jane Philpott.

“It’s an issue that’s not just facing our city, but the whole country,” Watson said of the recent spate of overdoses.

Ottawa Public Health

joined forces with other health-care professionals in November to make naloxone – a medication that helps stop opioid-based overdoses – available via pharmacies.

Naloxone blocks or reverses the effects of opioid medication, such as extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing or loss of consciousness.

Public health partnered with the Ottawa Carleton Pharmacists Association to make the kits and training available at local pharmacies.

The kits are handed out by the Ministry of Health and

Long-term Care. According to a spokesperson from public health, there have been 10,000 kits handed out to 800 participating pharmacies in 160 cities in the province.

A pharmacist from Respect Pharmacy in Vanier, Mark Burns has been named a provincial naloxone champion for Eastern Ontario. He has distributed 600 kits.

Nearly 100 have been used in Ottawa so far, the board of health heard on Feb. 12.

But of those 100 kits used, only about a third included calls for emergency services.

That’s why a private member’s bill proposed by Ron McKinnon, a Member of Parliament for CoquitlanPort-Coquitlam B.C. is so important, chief medical officer Dr. Isra Levy told the board.

The intent of the bill – dubbed the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act – would remove the fear of prosecution from people seeking help

PUBLIC HEALTH HAS THE TOOLS

Watson said Ottawa Public Health has done a good job with outreach, but it will be a challenge to keep up if the problem gets bigger.

Watson said the city has done a good job of proactively dealing with problems of this nature with the STEP program in schools and the Dave Smith Centre – a residential addiction treatment centre for teens.

“We will continue to use advocacy and education to let people know these kinds of street drugs might look harmless, but they’re killing people,” Watson said.

Public health issued a public alert earlier in February to warn residents that counterfeit prescription medications had been found in the city.

The United Way Ottawa CEO Michael Allen also expressed concern over local opioid use, suggesting it’s a challenge that the city will have to face.

“It will be a significant challenge moving forward,” Allen said, following the announcement of the city’s United Way fundraising total.

The United Way supports agencies that work in mental health and addiction services.

Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of a drug overdose due to opioids such as fentanyl and Ottawa Public Health is urging recreational drug users to pick up a kit.

Naloxone kits are available for free at a number of participating pharmacies throughout the city; all people need is a valid Ontario health card.

“With the counterfeit drugs and with drugs possibly laced with fentanyl, we want to get as much naloxone out there as possible,” said Andrew Hendriks, manager of clinical programs at Ottawa Public Health. “Anybody who thinks that they’re at risk or they have

should be carrying naloxone with them.”

If a person overdoses or is suspected of overdosing, the most important thing to do is call 911 then administer the naloxone, said Hendriks.

“It’s really like an Epipen where it buys time for paramedics to show up to the scene,” he said. “And every minute counts in the event of an overdose.”

The medication works temporarily, for about 30 to 60 minutes, according to public

health. Naloxone is injected into the arm or leg and can help prevent death or brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

“People need to know that even though you might have given a dose of naloxone or if you’re not sure if someone’s overdosing you should call 911, it’s a medical emergency,” said Hendriks. “We want paramedics to be there in the event of an overdose.”

Police warn about counterfeit prescription medications Continued from page 12

REAL DANGER

Naloxone only works on opioid-related overdoses.

Opioids can include prescription drugs like Oxycodone and Percocet and illicit drugs such as heroin.

Fentanyl, a highly potent opioid — around 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine, according to public health — can sometimes be found laced in other pills made to look like prescription drugs. It can be fatal in very small amounts.

“The real danger is that you never really know what’s in those counterfeit pills,”

said Hendriks. “They look like any other medication that you could get through a pharmacist or through your health-care provider.

There’s no different taste to them, there’s no different smell to them.”

Fentanyl increases the risk of accidental overdose, particularly when made illegally.

According to public health, “illicit fentanyl is often made as a powder and mixed with other drugs (like heroin, cocaine or crack).

It is also being pressed into pills and sold as things like ‘oxycodone’ (OxyContin, oxys, eighties) or other pills including speed and ecstasy/

MDMA.” In 2015, 48 Ottawa residents died from an unintentional overdose. “We know that approximately twothirds of those are from opioids,” said Hendriks.

Ottawa Public Health and Ottawa police issued a joint alert on Feb. 13 to warn residents that counterfeit prescription medications had been found in the city and were suspected “in recent life-threatening overdoses.”

Chloe Kotval, a 14-yearold from Kanata, died on Feb. 14 two days after she was found unresponsive after “taking a pharmaceutical drug of unknown

origin,” according to her parents Shannon Edwards and Neville Kotval.

Ottawa police are investigating her death.

In a statement, Chloe’s parents said they were “concerned about the epidemic nature of the use of high grade pharmaceuticals amongst young people and their lack of knowledge about them — the consequences of using them are real and terrible.”

Kanata father Sean O’Leary published an open letter where he said he knows of at least three Kanata teens who died of a drug overdose and eight more who over-

“The real danger is that you never really know what’s in those counterfeit pills.”

ANDREW HENDRIKS MANAGER OF CLINICAL PROGRAMS AT OTTAWA PUBLIC HEALTH.

“Sadly the deaths that have occurred are only the

beginning,” he wrote.

“If you look at statistics from any other communities where the kids started getting hooked on counterfeit opioids, the prognosis for our community and our children does not look promising.”

He planned to host a “We the Parents” meeting for parents of children using drugs on Feb. 23 from 8:30 to 10 p.m. at the Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A. For more information on counterfeit pills, naloxone, overdoses and prevention, visit stopoverdoseottawa.ca.

for this year’s event at $30,000 — doubling the funds raised at last year’s inaugural tea party — and 150 attendees.

The tea party takes place March 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Hellenic Meeting and Reception Centre.

The goal is doable, she said, with donations already surpassing the $10,000 mark.

Donations for CHEO will be accepted until the end of March, she said.

Hubley, married to Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, started raising funds for CHEO after her son Jamie died by suicide in 2011.

“I really started it because of my son. It’s how I got involved,” she said.

Second annual Wonderland Tea Party sets sights on raising $30,000 The money raised at the event will go toward CHEO’s mental health programs for those 12 and under.

“If we could get to the children and really help them at a younger age, we could hopefully help prevent that youth crisis we’re in the middle of. It’s going earlier and earlier to prevent that,” said Shona Fleming, co-organizer of the event.

“There are so many people talking about it, now we don’t have enough programs to address the need,” said Fleming. “So people finally break out of their silence and they come out and they’re brave. They tell us their story and then we say, ‘OK but now you’re going to have to wait’ (for program space).”

TEA PARTY

The idea behind the tea

party was to offer a lighter event — as opposed to a gala — where attendees (ages teens and up) could dress up and spend times with friends while enjoying a bite to eat and hearing from those who work in the mental health field and those who have sought help.

“It’s meant to be a break from your day,” said Fleming.

Among this year’s guest speakers are Dr. Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO and the party’s honourary Alice, and 22-yearold Dustin Garron, who was in the hospital at the same time as Jamie. “(He) has come to quite a success story,” said Fleming.

There will be a performance by GleeCeptional, a singing club for children and young adults with special needs, food aplenty — including little sandwiches, scones, scores of sweets and, of course, tea — as well as

A T A N KA NTRUM CE

a photo booth area, people in costume, a silent auction and door prizes.

Attendees are encouraged to dress up and wear fascinators (which can also be purchased at the event) and little hats to be automatically entered into a prize draw.

“It’s meant to be very social and mingling and a little bit silly,” said Fleming.

Tickets for the tea party are $45 each (with a $10 tax receipt) and people are encouraged to order early and submit their seating requests. Tickets will also be available at the door.

People can purchase tickets or donate to the cause online at bitly.com/wonderland-CHEO. For seating requests and more information about the event, email wonderlandteapartyfundraiser@gmail.com.

Are you constantly turning up the volume on the television?

This makes watching television challenging for you and loud to people around you.

Do you find yourself constantly raising the volume on your television? Do commercials seem louder? Is your family always asking you to turn the volume down? Hearing the television can be a common problem even for people who can hear everything else just fine. Fortunately, the rechargeable Phonak AudÊo™ B-R hearing aid has been specifically designed to improve your television listening experience, allowing you to enjoy the shows you love without disrupting the people around you.

Frequently turning up the volume on the television can be one of the first signs of an undetected high-frequency hearing loss. This type of hearing loss is caused by damage to microscopic cells deep within our inner ears called “hair cells.� Normally, these hair cells detect incoming sounds and change them into information our brain uses to hear. With a high-frequency hearing loss, the hair cells that let us hear soft, high-pitched speech sounds are damaged, which can make speech sound unclear or mumbled.

Most people won’t notice this drop in speech clarity right away, because they are usually listening to only one or two people in a quiet area, and get plenty of visual cues from the person talking.

When watching television, there can be loud music in the background, people speaking fast or with an accent, and you cannot always see the face of the person talking. While turning up the volume helps a little, it will not improve the clarity you are missing out on.

The War Amps receives no government grants and its many programs, including CHAMP, are possible through public support of the key tag

“Most people recognize the key tag service, recognize the War Amps through our key tag service,” said Jordan.

“This is where we get most of our funding.”

That funding can help cover the costs of expensive prosthetics, such as the device Jordan was provided with that allowed him to play a sport he loved.

“They’re quite expensive

and it’s all thanks to the War Amps that I could play hockey,” said Jordan, adding the charity provides prosthetics to thousands of children across Canada, covering 100 per cent of the costs.

City Councillor, Kanata North DANGER FROM STREET DRUGS – This issue is not only one for parents but also for the community.

Monday’s public meeting held by the West end City Councillors Wilkinson, El-Chantiry, Qadri and Hubley, along with representation from public health, police, school boards, addiction agencies brought information on what help is available to the public. We now need to move forward, working with agencies to stop the sale of illegal drugs and provide treatment for those who have become addicted. Access to counselling and referrals is available at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. You can help by reporting suspected drug dealings to the police and talking with your teens. More information can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca and at www.Ottawa.ca/health We need to work with professionals and the community to deal with this difficult and deadly issue.

Residents criticize Brigil proposal for higher density, less parking

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A number of residents are calling on the city to deny a proposal by Brigil Construction seeking higher density and less parking in a northKanata development.

Brigil applied for a site-plan revision and zoning bylaw amendment for a four-storey, 79-unit condominium at 124 Battersea Cres. near Kanata Avenue and Richardson Side Road.

The original plan, approved in 2013, was for 12- and 16unit buildings.

Dimitre Dimitrov said many homeowners in the area bought where they did in Kanata to purposely avoid intensification found in other areas of the city. “I have nothing against intensification if it’s somewhere where it can actually work,� he said during a town-hall meeting on Feb. 13. “But a lot of us came to this neighbourhood because there’s big houses with big lots, and because we don’t want to live

downtown or we don’t want to live somewhere with high density. We pay a premium for that. We pay a premium both for whatever you bought and also for the taxes that we pay.�

After two of the originally planned buildings were constructed, the developer filed a site plan revision in 2015 for “an alternative product with

is allowed under the current zoning but the condo would surpass the density cap with 134 units per hectare when the current maximum is 100 units per hectare on the site. Brigil also applied to reduce the required parking to one space per unit, down from the 1.2 parking spots required by the city.

Brigil’s development is part of the Broughton subdivision and was originally approved in 2013 as a condominium

bigger,� added resident Ajay Sancheti.

Jean-Luc Rivard, director of land development with Brigil, said in an earlier interview there is high demand in the area for that type of condo. “Those first units didn’t have any elevators or underground parking,� he said, adding that Brigil found potential dwellers want both those amenities, which have

been included in the proposed building as well as the one currently under construction.

Rivard said the builder also found the majority of people living in the subdivision only require one parking space since many take public transit.

As a result, Brigil has about five unsold parking spots, out of a total of 39, for its existing 12- and 16-unit buildings, he said.

However, another home-

With a second 79-unit building now being considered, Dimitrov said Brigil is “sneakilyâ€? going about seeking more density than what was originally approved. “If you look at the designs ‌ it’s just getting bigger and

owner who attended the town hall and lives next to the development said the parking lot is always empty because the residents park on the street. “Tenants use Battersea (Crescent) as it is as their own personal parking space,� he said. “They park there 24-7 all the time. Their guests park there all the time.�

He suggested no parking signs or limited parking times on the end of Battersea closest to the Brigil development but other attendees who live on the opposite end of Battersea said that just pushes the problem to their end.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said at least 40 residents have written to her against Brigil’s proposal.

She said she’s against the changes and has been talking with city staff prior to them providing a recommendation.

“Once a report goes to council for planning committee, they don’t like to turn down what the staff are recommending because they’re professionals,” she said, adding she can’t guarantee staff will side with residents.

“Staff pretty well have independence in their professional capacities on this. And the city does have these policies — they want intensification they want more units on less space so they don’t have to expand the city (boundary). That’s what we’re battling against.”

A refugee success story

BY PAUL QUINNEY St. Isidore Roman Catholic Parish Refugee Committee

Theresa Iuliano and Elina Nierojewski-Vélez — co-chairs of Kanata’s St. Isidore Catholic Parish Refugee Committee, smiled broadly as they introduced a beaming Elias Jarrous, his wife Antoinette and their four children to their fellow parishioners at the Knights of Columbus Valentine’s Day Brunch on Feb. 12.

One year ago the Jarrous family arrived in Ottawa in the dead of a Canadian winter as refugees from Syria. It was the refugee committee, made up of volunteers from the St. Isidore Parish, who helped the Jarrous clan settle successfully in Kanata.

The Jarrous family is well on its way to becoming another Canadian immigrant success story.

Both Elias and Antoinette are working and making good progress with English language skills.

Their four children are thriving at school and leading the lives of typical Canadian kids. The family is now self-sufficient and no longer relying on assistance from the refugee committee.

Elias told the committee that “we left our family behind when we came to Canada. But we found a new family in the parish.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to help us”.

Positioning the St. Isidore Parish to successfully sponsor and settle the Jarrous family was no small feat. It took organization, vision and a bit of daring.

As Elina Nierojewski-Vélez explained, none of the committee members had been involved in settling a refugee family. She said “Not only that, but because we raised more money that we had expected we could actually settle three families in total.

Originally we had planned on settling just one!”

Gary Maxwell, who headed up the effort to ensure the family’s health needs were met, pointed out that “there was no playbook that we could turn to for help. Even the big organizations involved in refugee resettlement didn’t have one!”

The refugee committee has over 45 members all working as a team with at least as many volunteers helping out as required on an ad hoc basis. The team is bro-

ken out into nine different subgroups that worked to help the Jarrous family with everything from Finances to Education, Health and Government Programs. While organization was key to the success of the committee’s work, what was even more important according to co-Chair Theresa Iuliano was “how generous people were with their time.”

The committee is now confident that it has the organization in place and the experience required to be even more effective in helping to settle two additional refugee families that the parish plans to sponsor.

When asked how the sponsorship of the Jarrous family had changed the parish, Father Virgil said “I think it made us more caring. It made us more aware of what is going on in the rest of the world. We put Christian values into action”.

Members of the refugee committee all seemed to feel they got more out of volunteering on the committee than they were required to give. Co-Chair Elina Nierojewski-Vélez explained that the work she did was rewarding and that she had established new friendships.

Ramping up to a huge Kanata celebration Leading cultural groups in the Kanata-Carleton area are celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in style. On May 27, the Earl of March High School and Sandwell Green Park will be alive with activities to delight all the senses.

Close to 50 performances will be scheduled throughout the day and evening, representing dance, song, live orchestra, band music and acting — visual art will line the hallways.

Kanata-Carleton has a wealth of talent and this event will showcase an array of activities to please all ages. Put together by a steering committee from local cultural leaders, this is a Saturday not to be missed — and it is free of charge made possible by the generous sup-

port from the City of Ottawa and corporate donors.

Be sure to catch the CFUW/ Kanata Guitar Groovers — a group of singers and guitarists that present a wide range of music. On a musical ride across Canada, their Canadian medley begins with the prideof-country song “Ca-na-da”

by Bobby Gimby, then a foot stomping “I’se the B’y” from Newfoundland. The rousing Stompin’ Tom’s classic “Good Old Hockey Game” is special to Kanata — the first game it was sung was at a Senator’s game right here in Kanata.

The Groovers bring their own special rendition to French Canadian favourites “Chanson du Carnaval” and “Les Raftsmen”. They poke fun at our

climate with “40 Below” and celebrate our northlands with “O Siem” by Inuit singer Susan Aglukark.

The halls of Earl of March High School will present a feast for the eyes with an amazing display of visual arts. The Kanata Civic Art Gallery has been a part of our community since 1993 and its artists are diverse and talented. The display will treat the viewer to a rich choice of media, from oil, to water-colour, acrylic, mixed media, photography, wood, clay and stone. Festivalgoers can browse between performances and admire the talent on view.

Kanata curler Rachel Homan takes the Scotties trophy

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Rachel Homan is back on top.

The skip and her team Ontario won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the women’s national curling championship, on Feb. 26, after taking the title in 2013 and 2014.

Homan, who grew up in Orléans but is now Kanatabased, led her team to a victory with a tight win over Manitoba at the game in St. Catharines.

She was joined by viceskip Emma Miskew, who grew up attending Brookfield High School and later Carleton University, second Joanne Courtney from Alberta, and Lisa Weagle, who grew up in Westboro and attended Nepean High School.

“That was a battle,” Homan said immediately following the match. “That’s an unbelievable win by my team, and that’s the hardest win we’ve ever fought for.”

Curling Canada/Andrew Klaver

Team Ontario skip Rachel Homan (left), third Emma Miskew, second, Joanne Courtney, lead, Lisa Weagle, alternate Cheryl Kreviazuk and coach Adam Kingsbury with the Scotties trophy after they defeated Manitoba to win the national championship.

The game was close, with everything coming down to the wire with the team’s last shot of the game. If Homan

made it, they’d win the championship and become team Canada. Miss it, even by a sliver, and they’d have

to settle for silver.

“It wasn’t looking good there for a bit, but we stuck together and stuck with what we’ve been doing all week,” she said.

“This whole journey’s been amazing.”

In the round robin, the team — representing the Ottawa Curling Club in Centretown — won 10 of their games, only posting one loss. That loss was to Manitoba, the team they eventually beat in the gold medal match.

They won a 7-5 game against the Northern Ontario team from Thunder Bay to move into the finals.

With the tournament only a drive away from their home club, many of the team members’ friends and family were able to drive down to St. Catharines to cheer on the team.

Homan said it was “amazing” to be able to play in their home province and be the home team for the championships.

The team isn’t a stranger

ler Award, Homan received $205,900 for the win, including $144,000 in Sport Canada funding, according to Curling Canada.

The team advance to the CPT World Women’s Curling Championships next month in Beijing, China to represent Canada.

“I can’t believe that we’re representing Canada,” Homan said.

“It’s a surreal feeling. I can’t wait to put the maple leaf on.”

to success. They won the Scotties in both 2013 and 2014, the latter in Kingston, Ont. with a similar path.

They had a win over Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones rink, after a 10-1 finish in the round robin, with one loss to Manitoba.

They went on to win in 2014, and advanced to the world championships where they came home with a bronze medal.

Cora’s sudden departure raises questions

I

t was certainly something to think about. And it was the talk of the Northcote School. Of course, we younger girls were never included in the whispering that went on with those in the senior grades. But we certainly knew something was going on, because the older girls stood off to one side, whispering, with heads bent, and a look on their faces that would scare a saint.

We knew it had something to do with Cora. She hadn’t been to school for weeks. Her desk stood empty, and Miss Crosby never once said why Cora was absent. The senior girls certainly knew, but their lips were sealed.

Except among themselves.

Velma said even her older sisters wouldn’t talk about it. All Iva said was “poor Cora,” which made us all wonder if she had come down with some FOR SALE

FOR SALE

MARY COOK Memories terrible disease. Well, bad Marguerite, with more faults than enough, said she knew exactly what had happened to Cora, but she wasn’t about to talk about it to us! Velma, smarter by far, told Marguerite she was sure she didn’t know any more than we did.

Well, that tore it! Marguerite told Velma if she gave her one of her ginger snap cookies, she’d tell us the whole story. It was Joyce who talked Velma into making the deal. We met in the farthest corner of the schoolyard, which is where Marguerite told FOR SALE

FOR SALE

us to be at recess, even though it was bitterly cold, and we would much rather have stayed in the school. But finding out about Cora was more important to us than freezing to death on a winter’s day.

Finally, after Velma handed over the gingersnap, Marguerite said Cora had gone off to what was called the Home for Wayward Girls. “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Joyce yelled at her.

“You have to be very bad to go there, and we all know how polite Cora is, and never does anything bad in school, like someone else we all know,” she said, never taking her eyes off bad Marguerite.

“Well, you wanted to know, and I told you. That’s where she is.”

We had no idea where this home was. We certainly knew it wasn’t in Douglas or Eganville. But it didn’t FOR SALE

FOR SALE

matter a whit where it was, Cora certainly wasn’t in any Home for Wayward girls! Not Cora! All we knew about the place was that you had to be very, very bad. Using a swear word could get you there. Certainly stealing, or telling a big lie as opposed to a little fib, could certainly send you off. But Cora never missed church, was polite to Miss Crosby, and never cheated at Jack’s or Parcheesi.

And then one Sunday, long after Cora had suddenly stopped coming to school, she appeared at church. There she was the same as always, smiling and singing the hymns like she had never been away from the Northcote School. As always, after church, people stood at the back and got caught up on all the news, and there stood Cora among everyone talking about the new job she got in the city of Ottawa. Velma and I took in every word.

She said she was doing housework at a home for young girls and not once did FOR SALE

FOR SALE

she mention the Home For Wayward Girls, but we knew without a doubt that’s where Cora was.

We couldn’t wait to get to school on Monday to tell Marguerite that Cora had done nothing wrong, other than being in Senior Fourth where often the young girls were taken out to go into Renfrew, or in this case, the city, and do housework to help pay the bills at home.

And I wondered why the older pupils at the Northcote school were so secretive about it, and then I knew it was because that each one of them knew that one day each could face the same fate. And I said a silent prayer that my sister Audrey, in Senior Fourth, wouldn’t be one of them.

What does International Women’s Day mean to you?

Laura Dudas, president of the Blackburn Community Association and Girl Guide leader

“As a mom, it’s also an opportunity to teach my children, in particular my daughter, that there are no limitations on what women can do and that when they are faced with instances of gender inequality, they must speak up and take action.”

Wen Jean L. Ho, 58, founder, Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre and Barrhaven resident

“It reminds me of when I was still a student in school; back then we usually attended ceremonies to listen (to) extraordinary stories from the women who make a difference in their life and communities. Those stories inspired me as I grew old.”

Tierney Sterling, 17, co-president of Sacred Heart High School

“The fight for equal rights for women is far from over and I believe education is the key to change. We are fortunate to live in Canada, a country where there is tremendous opportunites for women not only to work as equals, but also to take on leadership roles.”

Women across the city share their thoughts Around the world, on March 8, events will be held to mark International Women’s Day. And across the city events are planned to celebrate the many achievements of women – accomplishments that include everything from the cultural

to political.

While the first International Women’s Day was celebrated by the United Nations in 1975, the event goes back even further – to the early 1900s when in 1908 women marched through New York

City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights, according to its website. The day also highlights the need for gender parity; a goal that according to some counts will take another 170 years.

Thank You

Joan Olinik, 70, veteran military wife, volunteer at the Perley Rideau Veterans’ Health Care Centre

“I went through the ‘60s and ‘70s when women’s rights were getting started. We had to fight for all kinds of things. I still think there’s inequality. I think women have to band together and I think we need to speak and be strong.

CELEBRATE IN YOUR AREA In Kanata there are two events on the calendar. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s event is March 9, 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the Mlack Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. RSVP is required. Kanata South’s Allan Hubley is hosting an event March 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Don Cherry’s in Kanata, 320 Eagleson Rd. The event features prizes, refreshments, conversation and more.

Nature museum gets $4M for science research

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Thanks to a multimillion dollar donation, natural science research in Canada just got a major boost.

The Canadian Museum of Nature announced it received the $4 million gift from the Vancouver-based Ross Beaty family on Feb. 23 at the museum.

“This is a game changer,” said Meg Beckel, the museum’s president.

The largest-ever donation, the museum said the money will support three research initiatives at the museum • $2 million will fund the creation of a national cryogenic facility to curate tissue samples and genetic material. The facility is expected to open next summer • $1 million will create the Beaty post-doctoral fellowship on species at risk, the fellowship is expected to begin in the spring of 2018.

• $1 million will support a program to digitize the museum’s extensive collection of Arctic specimens.

All three initiatives will be based out of the museum’s national research and collections facility, the Natural Heritage Campus, in Gatineau, Que. Mark Graham, the museum’s vice-president of research and collections said the creation of a cryogenic facility is a very big deal to the scientists.

“It will be the first of its kind in Canada,” he said.

The facility will include an examination room and large supercooled vats filled with liquid nitrogen to house tissue samples and genetic material.

Graham added this facility would put the museum on par with other world-renowned museum and research facility’s such as the Smithsonian.

Beckel said the post-doctoral funding will allow for the museum to mentor the next generation of scientists and that by being able to digitize the arctic specimens, researchers from all over the world will be able to study the collection all by simply going online.

Ross and Trisha Beaty were on hand for the announcement.

“This donation is an invest-

ment,” Ross said. “Biodiversity is the essence of life on earth.

It nourishes us physically and nourishes us mentally.”

Ross, a geologist and entrepreneur and his wife Trisha, a

physician first visited the museum in 1998 with their five children.

Over the years, Ross said when he returns to the city, he always makes a point to stop by.

“This is something the Ottawa community should be proud of,” Ross said.

As a thank you, the museum presented Ross and his family with a framed photograph of a new species of beetle, known as the weevil.

New to science, the museum’s entomologist Bob Anderson named the new species Sicoderus beatyi in the family’s honour.

Ross was ecstatic about having a weevil named after him.

“This is very cool and as fun a gift you could get,” Ross said.

Didn’t get your

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

Question: I have been off work since May 2016 and have been trying to obtain short-term disability insurance since then. My doctor has provided me with three sick notes and at our last appointment she told me not to work. However, my application for short-term disability insurance has been denied. I’ve given the disability insurer the notes from my doctor and I’ve gone through the appeal process but have been denied again. My employer is now asking when I will return and I’ve booked an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks.

What should I do?

It is not uncommon for disability insurers to deny an initial application for short-term disability benefits. Often the reason cited for the denial is a lack of medical evidence of a disability. If the only documentation you have provided to the insurer are sick notes from your doctor it is usually of assistance to obtain further medical records from your doctor including something documenting your diagnosis.

Often, after receiving such additional documentation an insurer will approve an application for disability benefits.

If you continue to be denied benefits, it is likely time to consult with legal counsel. It is important to note that short-term disability benefits typically end within 6

With respect to returning to work you are entitled to rely on your doctor’s advice. If your doctor tells you not to work this should be documented in a doctor’s note and provided to your employer. Forcing you to return to work when your doctor says you’re sick is in breach of human rights legislation and it’s unlikely that your employer will insist on your return to work in the face of your doctor’s advice.
