Mom punching above her weight with CHEO hero fundraiser Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A Morgan’s Grant mom is in her fourth year of an 18-year, $171,000 fundraising effort for CHEO, and she is tapping a few superheroes to give her a hand on March 26.

Dominique Bouchard Petch is holding her second annual Superhero Party for CHEO at the Richcraft Recreation Complex where she hopes about 200 children up to age eight will get to meet some of their favourite heroes, and help her raise money for the children’s hospital.

Bouchard Petch was inspired by her son Liam,

whose heart valve condition first sent him to CHEO when he was 33 days old.

Requiring immediate surgery, Liam came out alive and is now a healthy young boy, but will be visiting CHEO for tests until he is 18. His latest tests have come back with good news, she said.

After Liam’s first year using CHEO, Bouchard Petch wanted do something for the hospital.

“I started thinking I would like to do something to put a positive twist on this whole CHEO experience,” she said in an interview last year. “I thought maybe in the first year I can raise $1,000, and in the

second I can raise $2,000, and in the third, $3,000 and kind of go incrementally by $1,000 every year after that.”

Bouchard Petch began collecting used kids clothes and toys to sell online, raising $1,000 in her first year and $2,000 in her second, according to plan. But then, in her third fundraising year, she grew her efforts by holding a princess party, with children dressing up in their favourite princess costumes to meet some Disney princesses.

That first event raised nearly $3,000 for CHEO, she said. That same year, she held her first superhero party, which brought that

year’s total well past her $3,000 goal.

This year, she is ahead of herself again, with her second princess party held in January having netted $4,000.

Now, she is hoping the hero party, which will now not only include superheroes but another group of heroes as well, will raise $5,000.

THE PARTY

At last year’s superhero party, Bouchard Petch partnered with Ottawa’s League of Super Heroes – a volunteer group of costumers who will attend fundraiser events.

This year, Bouchard Petch is partnering with them again, with Catwoman, Captain America and Batman confirmed to attend thus far, she said, adding that anyone interested in volunteering to dress up as a superhero or to otherwise volunteer to help can email her at dominiquebouchard@yahoo.com.

The party will include pho-

While they will each have a superhero theme, by special request, some will also have a Paw Patrol theme.

With interest in the party greater than last year, Bouchard Petch has rented a

larger space at the Richcraft Recreation Complex and hopes to sell 200 tickets to the event. As of March 10, there were about 80 tickets left she said.

Ottawa home to 2,000 Syrian refugees by year’s end Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s partners are on track to help Syrian refugees settle into life in the capital, said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who was recently appointed as liaison for refugee settlement.

The mayor’s refugee working group met on March 8 to talk over co-ordination of efforts.

Qaqish said some 1,400 Syrian refugees have already landed in the capital, with a total of 2,000 expected to arrive before the end of 2016.

The city is working with charitable organizations, private landlords, employ-

ment agencies and the school boards on things like housing, jobs and language training.

Qaqish said 50 Syrian children have already been registered in the public education system.

“It’s important to focus on the youth; it’s easier for them to learn the language,” he said.

Qaqish said some 80 to 90 per cent of the refugees Ottawa receives will be government sponsored. The focus will be on building sustainable sources of housing and employment beyond the first year.

The federal government’s settlement plan includes paying expenses for the refugees’

first year.

But it’s important to focus beyond that, Qaqish said.

One of the challenges right now is housing. While private landlords have stepped up to the plate, it can be tricky to find housing on the tight budget afforded by the federal funding.

He said when refugees get to the capital, they stay in hotels in the short term while aid organizations look for permanent lodging.

“Sometimes it’s as much as seven or eight (in a family), which can make it tough to find something affordable,” Qaqish said, adding that in some cases families have been put in two adjacent apartments.

Partners for United for Refugees announced in February they have raised $791,000 to help with the settlement of refugees.

The partnership includes the city, United Way Ottawa, Community Foundation of Ottawa and Refugee 613.

They launched United for Refugees last October.

Community organizations and sponsor groups can apply for funding under the program until March 18. Areas of potential funding include mental health support and counselling, housing, pre-employment and employment support, supports for youth, English and French language training, support for sponsorship

looking to donate should send funds to the United Way. “It’s an organization that has been a great partner with the city,” he said, adding that “97 cents of every dollar will go to help the refugees.”

Confusion over stop sign rules ‘Something needs to be done … before somebody gets killed,’ says resident Continued from page 1

working on a solution for the intersection at Stonehaven Drive and Sawyer Way for years.

“There is nothing that can happen, even if there are 10,000 signatures on that petition,” he said. “This petition is actually futile.”

The petition, began by Dave Dunn who lives nearby and uses the intersection very frequently, asks that a four-way stop or roundabout be installed at the intersection. The problem, which Dunn outlines on the

KANATA

rowsellpiano.ca rowsellstudio@bellaliant.net

613.324.0343

online petition’s webpage, is the “constant flow of traffic from Old Richmond Road” coming onto Stonehaven Drive, which makes turning onto Stonehaven from Sawyer Way exceedingly difficult, and dangerous, he said.

It’s gotten to the point where Dunn has had to change his work shift so that he doesn’t end up waiting to turn left onto Stonehaven Drive during the morning rush for so long that he ends up late for work, he said in an interview.

But all that doesn’t warrant the installation of stop signs according to provincial law, said Hubley.

“The way a stop sign works is the province sets warrants or standards as to how much traffic there has to be at an intersection before they will let you put up a stop sign and this intersection does not meet those warrants,” he said. “There are not enough cars coming out of Sawyer Way to warrant the stopping of the traffic on Stonehaven.”

He bases that assessment on many studies that have

been carried out on the intersection, including one done last September, which found there was an insufficient traffic leaving Sawyer Way, he said.

However, according to Ontario Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Bob Nichols, the traffic flow numbers are not part of legislation – they are only guidelines.

The city’s traffic manager, Phil Landry, said, “The City has a council-approved policy, whereby warrants must be met for a multi-way stop to be erected … The City’s warrant system aligns with the guidelines set out in the Ontario Traffic Manual.”

The Ontario Traffic Manual, book five, outlines the guidelines the province recommends, though they are not legislated, confirmed Nichols.

The forward in the traffic manual explains that its purpose is to “provide information and guidance for transportation practitioners and to promote uniformity of treatment in the design, application and operation of traffic control devices and systems across Ontario.”

The manual outlines how a traffic practitioner – such

as the city – could choose not to follow the book’s guidelines and still produce safe traffic operation.

“The traffic practitioner’s fundamental responsibility is to exercise engineering judgement and experience on technical matters in the best interests of the public and workers. Guidelines are provided in the OTM to assist in making those judgements, but they should not be used as a substitute for judgement,” reads the manual.

So it is the city’s choice whether or not to place stop signs at that or any intersection. However, in a subsequent interview, Hubley said “every single municipality (in Ontario) follows (the provincial guidelines).”

Hubley said installing four-way stop signs at that intersection would greatly slow down traffic along Stonehaven Drive, making the situation worse for the community and drivers. Installing a roundabout wouldn’t work either, he said, as the steady flow of traffic along Stonehaven Drive would still leave no opportunity for Sawyer Way drives to enter into the flow of traffic.

Instead, Hubley said

traffic experts “foresee (the intersection) fixing itself in the future,” once a roundabout is installed at Old Richmond Road and Stonehaven Drive.

That construction is expected to start in 2018. He added that he also plans to have a median installed where Sawyer Way meets Stonehaven Drive to make crossing the road easier for pedestrians as they can stop at the median. It could also help drivers cross one lane of traffic, pause at the space in the median, and then finish their left hand turn.

Hubley went on to say that, according to a city traffic study at the intersection, drivers wait no more than three minutes to turn onto Stonehaven Drive.

Dunn said that regardless of whether a stop sign or roundabout is ultimately installed at the intersection, something has to be done “before somebody gets killed there.”

The number of signatures on his petition shows that the community shares his concerns, he said.

While he said both he and his wife had nearly been in accidents at the intersection, he is not aware of any accidents taking place there.

Hubley said that, according to police, no accidents have been reported at the intersection in three years.

Mark Monahan, the executive director for Bluesfest says a partnership with Youth Ottawa will encourage local musicians and artists to take the next step in their careers.

The organizations have worked out two opportunities for Ottawa-area youth to strut their stuff on stage at this year’s Bluesfest.

The first initiative will be known as the Road to Bluesfest 2016.

Musical acts under the age of 21 will vie for an opportunity to perform at this year’s festival. A selection committee will determine the final bands that make the cut by late May. The second initiative, to be known as Youth Art at RBC Bluesfest 2016 will include three installations from young people to be displayed on the festival grounds.

Finalists will be given between $500 and $1,000 to cover the cost of creating their installation. The three young people selected will receive mentoring by a local artist prior to the event and the opportunity to raise their public profile through the exposure onsite and through social media.

“We’ve always had an eye out for ways to encourage local musicians and artists to take the next step in their careers,” Monahan wrote in a press release. “We are very proud of the local acts we’ve been able to showcase at the festival over the years, and this partnership gives us an opportunity to expand on our Ottawa stable of artistic talent.”

The application deadline for both programs is April 1.

Connected to your community

Shame on you, and shame on me

A

s a parent, it’s hard watching your kids experience shame. Even harder, perhaps, is if you feel you may have caused it, even inadvertently.

I was at a neighbourhood gathering with my younger son, the middle child. He was a hit. Even I was surprised and impressed. He was conversing with adults, trying the goods for sale with gusto, even doing a good sales pitch.

I was surprised at his confidence. I was proud of his maturity. I was happy that he felt like, at nine, he could fit in with a bunch of adults who didn’t really know each other all that well.

And then I completely wrecked it. One of the guests mentioned Fredericton. We’d recently been studying Canada’s provincial capitals at home to augment Grade 4 curriculum, and I set my son up.

“Oh, Fredericton,” I gushed. “Son, which provincial capital is that?”

He suddenly became aware of himself, of the audience – although no one was really paying attention – and he realized he was on the spot.

“Um, British Columbia,” he spluttered. And someone, probably me, corrected

him.

And then I saw it: Shame, and the embarrassment, of course, that went along with the public shaming of the entire thing.

And then I felt it: Shame.

Not my finest mothering moment.

Embarrassment is horrible, but shame sucks, because it exists intrinsically.

bad about our mistakes so that we don’t repeat them, and one of its side effects— blushing—signals to others that we recognize our error and are not cold-hearted or oblivious.

“Shame, a related emotion, can be felt even when no one knows about a slip-up.”

Author and public speaker, Dr. Brené Brown, defines shame as “the intensely painful feeling that we are unworthy of love and belonging.”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse That may seem like a rather overstated outcome of a mother correcting her son in public. But shame is a sly beast, says Brown, whose career has been dedicated to researching the subject.

“There are specific memories that we can recall that can bring up shame for us,” she notes in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“But there are also very insidious quiet messages that we just marinate in over a lifetime.”

Marinating in shame is what makes it so lethal, says Brown. Shame needs three things to grow – secrecy, silence and judgment.

Unless we take the time to talk to people about it, Brown argues, it will poison us.

“Shame cannot survive being spoken – it cannot survive empathy,” she says.

“Shame depends on me buying into the belief that

fore inviting a friend over?

And when we’re celebrating their successes – scoring goals, accomplishing a music recital, getting a good grade – are we inadvertently undervaluing the role of failure in their lives?

Most of us don’t have a clue what happens to them at school, how they are treated by their peers or by adults they trust.

Brown has written a parenting manifesto to guard against the destructiveness of shame – to provide a buffer, so our kids can succeed and fail without the persistent shadow of shame in their lives.

It involves being vulnerable and teaching kids to do the same, says Brown.

It’s about talking in an authentic way not only about success, but about the realities of failure and

disappointment. And it’s ensuring kids know that whatever the big bad world throws at them, they will always have a place of love and belonging at home.

“Above all else, I want you to know that you are loved and loveable,” writes Brown in The Wholehearted Parenting Manifesto.

“We will share our stories of struggle and strength ... I want you to feel joy, so together, we’ll learn how to be vulnerable.

Together we’ll cry and face fear and grief ... I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.”

As Oprah said when Brown read the manifesto aloud on her program, “We all want a mother like that!”

All we can do is try.

Notice of Study Commencement North Island Link Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated the North Island Link (NIL) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and Functional Design Study. The main objective of this study is to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The NIL will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River.

The project is identified in the City’s current Infrastructure Master Plan.

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class EA (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, the identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives will be undertaken that focus on potential watermain alignments and connections with the existing watermain infrastructure in Manotick. The study will also include the selection of a preferred alternative and a functional design of the NIL as well as a functional design of a watermain that will provide a secondary water supply to residents of Hillside Gardens in Manotick.

Consultation Information about the project will be available on ottawa.ca/northislandlink. Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record.

Upon completion of this study, a report will be available for public review and comment.

A Notice of Study Completion will be published at that time.

Honour our Afghan veterans

A

s the federal Conservative party and the right-wing chattering class of columnists continue to lick their wounds over losing an election to a person named Trudeau, the way the new federal Liberal government manages the Canadian military has become the go-to topic to criticize the Grits. The narrative that the new federal Liberal government is “weak” in its support for the coalition taking on Daesh (formerly identified as ISIS or ISIL) does not hold up to real scrutiny by people who don’t have a knee-jerk anti-Trudeau streak.

But there were a few Conservative voices raised recently that are on the mark on at least one thing. The previously planned memorial to Canada’s military effort in the Afghan war must come to fruition.

Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, now reduced to being just one of a tiny Conservative beachhead in the national capital area, joined Durham MP Erin O’Toole at the proposed memorial site in Ottawa on March 6 to pledge his continued support for the project, and to urge the current government to publically do the same. This came after news reports indicated the new Liberal government was reviewing previous Conserva-

tive government initiatives. The media reports didn’t say the Afghan war memorial was actually on the chopping block, but the possibility of a review does dovetail with the Conservative narrative about the Trudeau Liberal’s military policies, even if that narrative is often at odds with reality.

It is almost comical how members of the former Conservative government, a government that touted itself as being “strong” on military issues while at the same time shunned many veterans’ concerns over the course of its time in office, now turns its guns on the new government.

But politics is politics, and hypocrisy is often the name of the game in that arena. But Poilievre is right when he told Metroland Media that, “It was important to combat terrorism in the aftermath of 9-11. I think the least we can do is recognize that effort with a national memorial.”

More than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014; of those, more than 2,000 were injured and 158 lost their lives. The Canadian military effort in Afghanistan, which was started by a previous Liberal regime, must be honoured, regardless of which federal political party takes credit for making sure it actually gets done.

A side order of courage

I

see that the Empire Grill changed its name to the Empire Restaurant and then became something else entirely. This reminded me of a walk I took through the market recently.

Walking down Clarence Street it occurred to me that almost none of the many restaurants on the street were there five years ago.

By the way, that doesn’t mean that a whole bunch of restaurants were added to the city’s supply. It means that a whole bunch of restaurants died first. It’s a precarious business, as you’re reminded every day, maybe the most precarious of all.

Some restaurants that we thought were really successful are no longer with us. They produced great food, seemed to be

Many things can go wrong and most will. There will be delays and red tape before the necessary permits get there. The renovations will be slow and more expensive than budgeted. Good staff will be hard to find and the best will leave.

Building fees can be expected to drop after the city’s planning committee voted in favour of a reduction on March 8.

Planning committee approves cut to building code fees Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s planning committee approved a 10 per cent reduction in building code fees on March 8.

The move was a direction to building code services from Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley during the city’s budget process.

Hubley said the department’s reserves can likely handle a reduction in fees.

He also hoped to spur growth, since the city has seen a drop in development applications this year.

Frank Bidin, chief building official for the city, said the reduction will mean pulling between $1.5 million and $1.875 million from the department’s revenue stabilization fund.

The fund – which is a reserve mandated by the province to help insulate the city in cases where there’s a drop in new construction – would still have a $28.5 million balance at the close of 2016, Bidin said, even with the loss of revenue from the fee reduction.

The $28.5 million balance also takes into account a $3 million to $4 million revenue drop because of slow economic growth.

Committee chair Jan Harder said build-

ing code fees aren’t supposed to generate revenue; they’re simply supposed to pay for the city’s expenses to administer the service.

The city adjusted its fees in 2013, when it moved to a model based on the total area covered by a new building, rather than a more complex system that took into account construction values.

Bidin said the updated fee schedule means that two homes that cover 185 square metres will pay the same in building code fees regardless of the finishes.

Staff measured Ottawa’s fees in relation to other Ontario municipalities such as Hamilton, Mississauga and Toronto. Bidin said in most cases Ottawa was the lowest.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli questioned the change.

“It won’t impact growth and we have to pull from reserves. Why do it?” he asked staff.

While Bidin said they didn’t measure potential impact on the number of applications, there’s the possibility it could motivate some homeowners to do renovations.

If council approves the fee reduction on March 23, the new fee structure would be in place for April 1.

Dear members of the Kanata community,

On behalf of the board of directors of the Kanata Food Cupboard, I regrettably announce that due to an unfortunate administrative filing error, our charitable status has temporarily been revoked.

Our board has been working extremely diligently with the Canada Revenue Agency in order to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.

We have been informed

by the CRA that this will take hopefully around two months for our charitable status to be reinstated.

In the meantime, our dayto-day operations will remain the same, and so will our commitment to provide for the residents of our community in need. The Kanata Food Cupboard will continue to remain active in the community, and is dedicated to ensuring that there will be absolutely no disruption to our clients.

We have apprised our

volunteers and community partners about our temporary loss of charitable status, and are working together in a unified fashion to ensure that there is no confusion around our current role and operations.

Thank you for your continued support and patience while we work together to resolve this issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.

From the battlefields of Ancient Greece to the latest research in cyber warfare – one of the world’s top events for military historians heads to the Canadian War Museum on April 14.

The 83rd Annual Conference of the Society for Military History will run for three days. The event is a partnership between the war museum and the Canadian Museum of History.

This year’s theme is crossing borders, crossing boundaries and will feature more than 90 panel discussions on topics such as how the First World War affected the environment between culture and counter insurgency.

The workshops will highlight the work of graduate students and established military historians.

Aside from the panels, Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the two museums, wrote in a press release that it’s an honour to be hosting the prestigious conference.

“As museums devoted to history, we look forward to insights that are sure to arise from this gathering of so many experts in the field of military history and scholarship,” he said.

The event promises to be international, with 500 delegates attending from nine countries already registered.

The event has only been hosted outside the United States twice before, according to War museum staff.

The official partners for the event will be: The Embassy of the United States of America, Espirit de Corps, the Friends of the Canadian War Museum and the Australian High Commission.

For more information on the event, visit eee.smg-hq.org.

Kanata baseball club swinging for fences with new rep teams Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Kanata Little League Baseball Association feels it’s hit a home run before the season has even started.

Through a new connection with the Ontario Baseball Association, the Kanata club will offer many more rep-level teams than in previous years, giving

players the chance to travel outside of Ottawa regularly and play on the same team for the spring and summer seasons.

The association, due to parent feedback, had planned to change its programming to let players remain on one team for the spring and summer. The little league model the association uses has them play on two different teams over

four months, said Kanata Little League’s public relations officer Robert Turcotte.

However, allowing them to play on one team resulted in problems for the league’s all-star teams.

At the same time, the Ontario Baseball Association dissolved its franchise in Ottawa.

Association feeling the ‘Blue Jays effect,’ already seeing higher registration Continued from page 14

This made way for the Kanata association and Kemptville to step in and create the National Capital Ontario Baseball Association, becoming the new OBA franchise in the area.

OBA rep and select leagues are now available through the Kanata club, while other Ottawa clubs are making select leagues available, said Turcotte.

“This OBA initiative is a venue to give our competitive kids something to go towards,” he said.

Rather than offering one all-star team per age level – and only for two months in the summer – players can try out for a rep OBA team at the major and minor mosquito, major and minor peewee, and minor bantam ages. Rep teams will travel outside of Ottawa regularly for games, play and practise four to five times each week, play in more tournaments and compete provincially.

If players don’t make the rep team, they can play on a select team, which offers a nearly identical program to rep, said Turcotte, albeit at lesser skill level.

At a club meeting on March 9, parents were positive about the new opportunity,

said Turcotte, though the OBA teams will require higher registration costs – between $250 and $600 more than Little League costs. That money will go towards tournament costs and perks like playerowned jerseys, caps and jackets.

Fundraising should also be easier, said Turcotte, as there are fewer copyright restrictions with the OBA compared to Little League.

Though the Kanata association will be the only Ottawa club to offer rep OBA teams, other local associations will have select OBA teams this year.

“We are really pushing to grow the game of baseball in Ottawa,” said Turcotte of the decision to tap into OBA leagues.

While some players are only seeking a casual baseball experience, others are looking for a more competitive outlet and push themselves to greater heights.

Last year there were 144 players age nine and 10 registered in Kanata, said Turcotte.

Only 13 of them got to play rep in Little League last year, he said. Under the coming system, many more players can play baseball more competitively and more often.

All this of course does require more commitment from players, their families and volunteers, said Turcotte. The Kanata club is looking for more parents to take on coaching responsibilities, and for other community volunteers to umpire games. Training for both positions is available.

With registration underway, the question now is how players and their parents will react. The Blue Jays recent successful season is giving the association a bit of help there, said Turcotte.

“At the mosquito level, the nine- and 10-year-olds, we’ve already got 71 kids who have said they are going to try out for a rep team,” he said.

The association’s youngest groups also have more registration than last year, and that’s before the association has begun advertising.

Power play Players with the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League show celebrity participants how it’s done on the court at Carleton University on March 5. Politicians, Carleton Ravens and Ottawa RedBlacks players, among others, got a quick lesson in manoeuvering electric wheelchairs, but were quickly overwhelmed during the friendly celebrity match by a 10-2 score. The league’s players practise weekly out of the Greenboro Community Centre.

The league has been awarded the national championships, which will take place in August 2017 at Carleton University, coinciding with Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.

Three neighbourhoods named for revitalization

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

are proud to announce

Heatherington, Vanier South and Carlington have been earmarked for a revitalization project.

The city’s planning committee approved the three low-income communities as pilots for the building better revitalized neighbourhoods project on March 8.

The project would include a budget of $250,000 and work on revamping the neighbourhoods over three years, starting this year. City council must first approve the plan.

River Coun. Riley Brockington said it’s not about tearing down the existing neighbourhoods.

“We have to look at it in a more holistic way,” he said. “We really want to complement the work that’s already being done.”

Committee chair Jan Harder introduced a motion that would form a sponsor group of six councillors: Harder, Tim Tierney, Mark Taylor, Mathieu Fleury,

Diane Deans and Shad Qadri.

The councillors were chosen for their links with other committees and city departments.

The sponsor group would ultimately decide which community gets help and how much money would be allocated to the individual neighbourhoods.

Staff used the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study to asses area suited to the project.

The three neighbourhoods chosen scored pretty much equally said John Smit, manager of policy development and urban design.

The funding for the project would come from the strategic initiatives budget for the first year, but additional funding will come from the city’s budget in subsequent years.

Gloucester-South Coun.

Diane Deans, who first championed the program for Heatherington – which is in her ward – said the city needs to help families in low income neighbourhoods.

“Having gang exit strategies is good, but we need to do more on education and supports on the front end,” she said.

Residents want openness on selection of a central library site Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A Carleton professor is calling for an impartial committee to select a site for the city’s new central library.

Paul duBellet Kariouk, who is also an architect, said the committee should be made up of experts and librarians from other municipalities that have a landmark central library – such as Vancouver, Montreal or Halifax.

Kariouk was one of seven delegations that spoke to the library’s board during its meeting on March 8.

Library board chair Tim Tierney said the city’s process follows best practices.

“We have an integrity commissioner,” he said. “As

we go through the consultation components, we will then look at best practices that were used in Halifax and Montreal.”

Tierney said when the city releases the requests for proposals, that is when a site will be named.

“There is no site selected, I have to stress that,” he said.

Kariouk worked with Friends of Lansdowne to fight the deal with Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group and said he worries about a similar one-source deal with the new library branch. He said he worries that a Lebreton Flats site is a done deal, citing rumours that the city has done soil testing at the location.

Tierney said it’s far from a done deal.

The site at 557 Wellington St. is the only city-owned of the nine identified as potential spots for the central branch of the library.

Tierney confirmed that there had been soil testing at that site.

“The understanding is we have to do it as part of the city process,” he said. “It’s not to say we are choosing 557 Wellington St. There will be plenty of consultations around components of the library.

And we are waiting to roll out the plan, it will come out in the next couple of months and people will be advised how they can participate.”

The Wellington Street site is the only one the city has done soil testing on, Tierney said.’

Kariouk said it doesn’t make sense for the city to choose a site west of Bronson Avenue. He said the population won’t increase to the west for at least another 10 years.

“All we have to do is look at the War Museum,” he said. “It’s a beautiful facility, but the amount of traffic that goes through it is negligible because there’s nothing else around there. Maybe there will be more there in 10 years, but they told us that 10 years ago.”

Kariouk isn’t the only one calling foul on the site selection process.

Jevone Nicholas, who spoke on behalf of Bookmark the Core, said he wants to see the new library closer to the existing Metcalfe Street branch.

“It’s about access,” he said, adding people should be able to walk or take transit to the central branch – and visit it as part of things they were going to do.

That makes more sense in the downtown core, he said.

Five of the library’s nine identified potential sites are located west of Bronson Avenue, and Nicholas File said users won’t be able to access The main branch of the city’s library is currently located east of Bronson, on Metcalfe those locations as readily as they do Street. now.

Nicholas said he’s glad to see the commitment to open houses and town halls.

Right now the city is running two plans concurrently, one would be to build a standalone library and one to do a joint project with Library and Archives Canada.

“By the end of this year we would be in a position to know whether we are partnering with them or going on our own,” Tierney said.

The Ottawa Public Library will launch a project website in the spring in an effort to keep residents in the loop.

“The good part is people are very passionate about this library,” Tierney said.

Carleton prof worries Lebreton Flats a fait accompli

Week in Review Updating our parks Since taking office I have been busy updating some of our beautiful Kanata South parks. This year I would like feedback from residents on what other parks you feel could benefit from new components or updates.

However, updating our parks is costly and we need to raise funds if we want to do more to our parks.

If you want to help identify changes, I am hoping you will also help to raise funds by volunteering at community events and I will do my best to find matching dollars to speed up the process. If you want to help organize a group of neighbours to move your park up the priority list, please contact my office and we will work with you.

Water Rate Review Consultation The City of Ottawa is developing a new rate structure to fund the water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. Our ward knows all too well why this investment is critical.

There will be a public consultation held on Monday April 4th, from 7-9pm, at the Kanata Recreation Complex (100 Charlie Rogers Place), Hall A. Kanata Leisure Centre Maintenance Closure The Kanata Leisure Centre will be closed for annual maintenance during the following dates: March 21st – April 3rd, 2016 for land including our weight room, cardio facility and gym areas.

March 21st – April 10th, 2016 for the pool.

As always clients are welcome to attend other facilities as their memberships are transferable and members of the community are provided with alternative facility options while the KLC is closed.

For members that are unable to benefit from the transferability of their memberships those members have the ability to place their current membership on hold.

Veterans Events

Kanata North Community Design Plan (CDP) Community Meeting #4 Wednesday, March 30, 2016 • 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Presentation at 7 p.m.

St. Isidore Roman Catholic Parish, Main Hall 1135 March Road The integrated Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act process for the Kanata North Community Design Plan is progressing.

The CDP area extends along both sides of March Road from the existing urban area of Kanata. It is generally bounded by Old Carp Road, Murphy Court, Nadia Court and the rail corridor and excludes the existing subdivisions.

The CDP will detail the land uses, the natural heritage system, transportation, and servicing infrastructure for Kanata North. It will be supported by master plans completed in accordance with the Planning Act provisions and the Environmental Assessment Act. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to represent Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr at the Horses and Heroes Gala held in Petawawa. This event was organized by the War Horse Project, a not for profit organization using horses to help veterans who have been adversely affected by trauma. I also attended a Wounded Warriors event hosted by Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada. This fundraiser was held at the Ottawa Curling Club during the Brier and was attended by Team Canada. Finally I joined the team from VETS Canada for a “Boats on the Ground” event, reaching out to the homeless in Ottawa, helping homeless veterans. It is so inspiring to see people helping those who have served our country.

Agricultural Safety Week

At this final community meeting, participants will be presented a project update, the preferred land use concept and recommended infrastructure projects, learn of the next steps in the process, and will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments to the project team.

This week is the National Farm and Agricultural Safety Week and its focus is on children. Our farmers are a key part of our community and their work is critical to our survival and prosperity. We all know someone who has been injured or even lost their life in a farm accident and it is important that we all work together to bring these tragedies to an end. Lets practice farm safety this week, and throughout the year.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation or French language services, please email pgmpublicengagement@ottawa.ca by noon on Tuesday, March 29.

Your participation and feedback is an important component of this study. For further information on this project, please visit the project website at ottawa.ca/kanatanorth.

Ottawa Hospital CEO Jack Kitts started the March 7 public consultation for the Civic campus expansion with an apology.

“We are sorry for letting the ‘where’ overshadow ‘what’ we are going to build together,” he said of a planned expansion.

Nearly a-year-and-half ago, the federal Conservative government announced a plan to build more Civic campus buildings on part of the Central Experimental Farm.

Kitts said the group working on the hospital’s master plan weren’t aware of the impact of putting the hospital on the northwest corner of the farm. The land has been earmarked for soil research, he said, adding that potential impact on the land the hospital chooses is one of the selection criteria.

“I want to apologize for the delay to get here,” Kitts said, of the public consultation.

Kitts painted a picture of a 21st-century “health village” that will focus on wellness and patient quality of life.

The new facility will have walkways and gardens, as well as lots of light and bigger patient rooms.

Kitts said there are parts of the existing hospital that have to be closed permanently as they are no longer suitable for use.

The hospital’s helicopter pad is across the street on Carling Avenue. That means critical patients have to be transported across the busy road by ambulance – paramedics have a key that turns the traffic lights red. Once the patient is in the hospital, they have to moved to intensive care, or go across the campus if they need an MRI. For a trauma unit, that handles cases where minutes matter, this doesn’t work, said Kitts.

The hospital simply can’t expand on the existing ninehectare site, he said.

served the city for nearly a century,” he said, adding the whole process – from the meeting to construction – may take up to a decade.

Hundreds of residents made it to the event, many of whom spoke against using the farm as the site of a new hospital.

Chris Bradshaw, a resident of Sandy Hill, suggested the northeast corner of Lebreton Flats because of its location close to the core and good access to transit. Cameron Love, executive vice-president for the hospital, said organizers would consider the suggestion.

Another resident suggested the federal government’s Booth Street complex, next to Highway 417, but both Kitts and Love dismissed that site because of its small size.

The criteria for the new site is between 20 and 24 hectares, they said.

Bob Brocklebank said the current campus is an inefficient use of space and wondered why the hospital was now seeking twice the space.

“Hospitals of the future tend to be more horizontal than vertical,” Kitts said, adding the days of concrete jungles are gone.

One Blackburn Hamlet resident, Richard Hayter, who once drove to the campus to have four stents put into his heart, supported expansion of the campus. He said it should be possible for some research programs to be shifted to other parts of the farm to accommodate the move.

He said former Ottawa mayor Lorry Greenberg talked about using the farm for affordable housing and the city has long been trying to deal with the challenges associated with working around the Greenbelt.

“I don’t know who to blame,” he said. “But someone should have thought about the possibility of the hospital expanding.

A hospital is a pretty basic need, and there have been many conversations about institutional uses at the farm.”

Hayter, who now works as a director of community relations for the Building and Construction Trades Council, said he worked on planning for the Greenbelt between 1964 and 1977.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who chartered a bus to take 25 residents to the meeting, said the community is split on whether or not the hospital should expand onto the farm.

“There are some that feel it would be a trade off to make sure the hospital stays in the ward,” he said, adding he’s worked with neighbouring Coun. Riley Brockington to open the door to public opinion on any expansion.

He said he’s happy to start the dialogue, but the hospital has to provide more concrete answers if they want to engage in a meaningful conversation with residents.

He referenced the discussion around the vertical versus horizontal plan for a new building.

“They’re going to have to do better than that,” he said of Kitts’ response.

“Kitchissippi residents are smart and engaged and you really have to get down to the granular details.”

Visiting students don’t like their spin in a Tesla Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Despite experiencing a record-breaking snowstorm that nearly shut down the city, two Danish students were determined to enjoy their trip to Canada’s capital.

Magnus Petersen and Patrick Neumann are two of a class of 57 from Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College in Denmark. The students are studying a combination of business, English, history and culture classes at Algonquin College for eight weeks, starting Jan. 24.

Neumann and Petersen wanted to spend a ski weekend at Mont Tremblant and were looking for a way to get there, when a classmate told them about Tesla for Hire.

The company offers a chauffeur service in a Tesla S electric vehicle, a luxury car that runs on rechargeable batteries.

It seemed like a great way to ride to the mountain, and based on the price the students were quoted, $114.41 each way, a reasonable alternative to taking the bus. They recruited two more classmates to share the ride and the fee.

Neumann and Petersen were to leave for their trip on Feb. 19 and return Feb. 22.

The reservations were made on Feb. 15, said Petersen.

He received a text message the day before the expected departure to let him know that the company’s online booking tool had given them an incorrect rate. Instead of the quoted price, the trip would cost $270 plus taxes each way.

Petersen said he worked out a compromise where the price was $418.10 return.

But that price included a travel time of two hours and 15 minutes to get there and the same amount of time back.

RE/MAX METRO-CITY REALTY LTD., BROkERAgE

The day of the trip, the driver turned up 10 minutes late, Petersen said, and the car was only partially charged (65 per cent instead of 100), which meant the driver had to go slowly to conserve energy.

The quoted two-hour trip turned into more than three.

“When we got to Mont Tremblant the battery was at one per cent,” Neumann said.

When it came time to return home, the driver was supposed to pick the group up at 6 p.m., but Petersen said he received a text saying he would be late.

An email to Metroland from company CEO Charles Paquin says the vehicle was experiencing abnormal vibration in the steering wheel and it needed service at Tesla Motors in Montreal. Paquin said the driver left Ottawa at 11 a.m. to have the vehicle serviced and he allowed enough time to charge the vehicle for the drive from Montreal to

the pickup destination.

But when the passengers were picked up, the cold weather had impacted the vehicle’s range. The group had to be redirected so the driver could charge the car in Montreal again. The driver bought the group food at McDonald’s, where they stayed for an hour while the car charged.The trip home took more than four hours, Petersen said. The vehicle had to be driven slowly again.

Neumann said he worried about the driver’s use of a cellphone while driving.

The Tesla has an automatic steering function that will turn itself off if the driver’s hands haven’t been on the wheel for some time, he said.

This happened a number of times on the way home, with the car allegedly swerving

more than once.

Paquin said under the provision of the distracted driving law of 2015, the provincial Ministry of Transportation allows for viewing display screens of a mobile data terminal for commercial purposes.

“We certainly do not condone texting and driving, and our dispatch service knows they cannot always expect an immediate answer from our drivers when they are driving,” Paquin said. “In this case, the driver has responded to two simple yes or no questions sent by dispatch requiring a total of seven key strokes over a period of a few minutes. This was done while the Tesla’s highly advanced autopilot mode was engaged and therefore the drivers inputs were not necessary to drive the self-driving vehicle.”

While Petersen acknowledges some effort on the part of the company, he said he wouldn’t want another passenger to go through the same problems.

He said he agreed on the price, and that included a timeline for the trip home. When he contacted the company to get a refund for being so much later than scheduled, he said he was told they didn’t offer refunds, but would discount a future trip.

Paquin said it’s not within the company’s policy to offer a cash refund when the service has been rendered and paid for.

We placed an offer on a house, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement is conditional upon a satisfactory home inspection. The house was built only a few years ago and we are considering waiving our right to a home inspection. If we do, what rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date?

Buyer Beware The law in Ontario is pretty clear: “let the buyer beware”.

Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing.

The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation.

Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal.

Representations and Warranties The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to

The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents does not contain any warranties in regards to the physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to ureaformaldehyde insulation. The buyer might try to negotiate warranties into the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, however this is very rare.

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect you from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime.

Pilot project for community gardens on NCC lands underway Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Interest in community gardens is growing says a local advocate group, and the NCC says it’s responding to the demand.

The NCC is currently working on a three-year pilot project with two groups to have one community garden in Ottawa and another in Gatineau.

This marks a potential return to early 1970s NCC policy that allowed for several community gardens on its lands.

However, the NCC “discontinued that use many years ago due to the complexities of management and the lack of resources,” said NCC communications officer Jasmine Leduc.

“Our intent moving forward is to have the municipalities or one of their sanctioned

organizations, such as Just Food, to manage the community garden with community groups,” said Leduc.

Just Food is an Ottawa advocacy group that seeks local, healthy food and community gardens.

In an NCC report dated Sept. 16, 2014, the potential policy following the pilot project was explained: “The NCC will make its lands available to support the community when there are no municipal properties available within one kilometre for the purpose of community gardens.”

Neither Just Food nor the NCC gave details as to the size or location of the pilot project gardens, though Leduc said the project is in its early stages and that gardening is planned for early 2017.

Growth in garden interest sees possible return to 1970s policy Continued from page 33

Just Food and the University of Ottawa have been lobbying the NCC for community garden space since at least 2012 under the Ottawa Food Action Plan. In the action plan, the two groups recommended that “the NCC allocate a minimum of seven sites for the purpose of community gardening within the next year (March 2012-March 2013).”

The action plan then suggests seven locations, including ones in Hintonburg, Woodpark, NepeanBarrhaven, Blackburn Hamlet and Kanata.

Asked whether Just Food was disappointed that the seven-site

recommendation by 2013 was not realized, Jordan Bouchard, Just Food community garden network co-ordinator said, “Just Food is enthusiastic to be working with NCC on developing community gardens on urban lands. We are building a program for future gardens, and building a solid foundation is worth the time for longterm successes.”

THE NEED

“More and more people are seeking access to spaces to grow their own food and at Just Food we think that NCC land represents a significant, unique and vibrant opportunity for community

gardens in Ottawa for now and in the future,” said Bouchard.

“There’s a large amount of green space in the urban area that is managed by the NCC. Many community gardens already have long waiting lists and there is increasing demand. On top of this some of our most successful and largest gardens originated from the NCC’s past garden initiative – such as the Gloucester Allotment Garden Association’s two sites at Orient Park and Anderson Road, the Nepean Allotment Gardens and Kilborn Garden. We are pleased to see NCC revitalizing their connection to community gardens in response to community interest.”

Uncle Herby said measles were raging in the city, and the only way to avoid the boys getting sick from them was to ship them off to Northcote. And so they ar-

spend the day at home with Mother. No permission was needed from our teacher Miss Crosby. All Mother had to do was pack an extra sandwich and cookie in a brown paper bag, and send Ronny off.

Young Terry was considered delicate, whatever that meant. But it gave him extra privileges, which didn’t sit well with his older and rambunctious brother Ronny.

Ronny said it was all an act, and Terry could turn a ‘ sick spell’ off and on like a light switch.

Ronny loved going to the Northcote School, and Terry was quite happy at home with Mother, where he had the run of the house, and especially liked helping Mother in the kitchen.

After they had been with us about two days, and after we had redded up the kitchen after supper, the table was cleared for the usual board games we played until it was time to go to bed. Ronny

told Terry he couldn’t play Parcheesi because he couldn’t read and he couldn’t count. Terry started to cry and told Mother he didn’t feel well.

Mother took Terry on her lap, and let him look through her scrap books, but nothing seemed to calm him down, and he kept asking “Aunty, itchy me,” which was his way of asking to have his back scratched, which he loved.

Mother raised up his pajama top, and let out a yelp that I was sure they could be heard on the next farm. “Dear Mary and Joseph...it’s the measles. He’s covered with them!”

We all scrambled from our place at the table to have a look at Terry’s spots. They were there alright. There was hardly a square inch that was spared.

Mother immediately phoned Mrs. Beam who everyone in Northcote called before getting old Doctor Murphy to come all the way out from Renfrew. Even over the phone, Mrs. Beam was able to confirm what Mother

already expected: Terry had the measles and a good dose of them too!

It took another day for the spots to show on Ronny, and he wasn’t at all pleased.

And then, all in perfect order, each one of us got the red spots, one after another.

Well, it didn’t take long to hear that except for Fat Cora and Two Mile Herman, everyone at the Northcote School was felled with the measles. Miss Crosby refused to close the school, and my sister Audrey said we should send Ronny and Terry packing back to Montreal, spots and all. Of course, that didn’t happen, but for a long time after, that winter was referred to as “the time those Lapointe kids brought the measles from Montreal, and infected the entire Northcote community.”

The federal government has awarded a $17-million contract for the construction of a new Canadian Coast Guard helicopter flight simulator to be based in Ottawa.

Making the Feb. 25 announcement at Transport Canada’s Training Centre at the Ottawa International Airport was Canadian Coast Guard Commissioner Jody Thomas, left, Hunter Tootoo, minister of fisheries, oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Judy Foote, minister of public services and procurement, and Ottawa South MP David McGuinty.

Dave Weir slides into the cockpit of a shiny new Canadian Coast Guard helicopter.

His gaze sweeps a bank of

electronic panels. He deftly touches the buttons on the cyclic or joystick, noting each function.

The experience of flying the coast guard’s recently acquired Bell 429 helicopters will be replicated inside the virtual reality environment of a new full-flight helicopter simulator to be constructed in Ottawa as part of a new $17-million contract.

“Training in the simulator means that a pilot can be fully trained and certified and ready to go flying having never left the ground,” Weir, chief pilot at Transport Canada, said following the contract’s announcement at the department’s Training Centre at the Ottawa International Airport.

The new helicopters are replacing the coast guard’s aging fleet.

“We are very confident in stating that this will be, when delivered, the most technologically advanced helicopter simulator in the world – full stop,” said Mike Greenley, vice-president and general manager of CAE, a Montreal-based simulation and training company that was awarded the federal government contract.

CAE trains about 120,000 pilots on its systems around the world every year, he said.

The simulator, which will be a four-metre dome outfitted with ultra-high definition visuals, will feature cockpits for both helicopter models.

It will be well used, as pilots are required to recertify on each helicopter model ev-

UNSUNG HEROES

“This is indeed an impressive facility and I wonder how many people actually drive past this structure without realizing the pilot training that goes on here and the importance of this work to the lives and safety and Canadians,” Judy Foote, minister of public services and procurement, said in announcing the contract on Feb. 25.

“These new helicopters will provide a strong presence in coastal communities throughout Canada.”

The top-of-the-line training will allow pilots to perform at the highest level by giving them a safe environment where they can practise missions.

“With the world’s largest coastline, the coast guard relies heavily on helicopter pilots,” said Hunter Tootoo, federal minister of fisheries, oceans and the Canadian

Coast Guard.

The pilots’ capabilities include responding to 10,000 marine search-and-rescue incidents a year, saving an average of 15 lives on a given day, as well as moving people and cargo from ship to shore and supporting icebreaking activities.

“In many ways, I believe they are our unsung heroes, working to protect our waters and making sure people are safe, often in some very dangerous conditions,” Tootoo said.

Coast Guard commissioner Jody Thomas pointed to the coast guard’s motto of ‘Safety First, Service Always,’ as personnel ensure the well-being of mariners in Canadian waters where 5,600 large cargo vessels and more than seven million fishing and recreational vessels operate every year.

See PILOTS, page 57

Noting the fleet’s importance, Thomas said pilots fly coast guard technicians

2016 Summer Camp Guide

R0013730607

How to choose a summer camp

Take a few things into account before making a choice considerations:

Matt Barr

Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs.

What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.)

Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider.

You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know.

It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes.

There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few.

Here are some general

Your child’s interests

What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her. If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child.

Day camp versus overnight camp

Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old.

Only you can decide when the time is right.

Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.

Cost

Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples.

Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading.

I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.

Research

With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions.

Ask some key questions before making a choice Continued from page 48

Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers.

You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they?

Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?

2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours?

3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.

4. Are snacks or a lunch

provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?

5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day? What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?

7. Do you offer any discounts?

8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.

9. How are different age groups divided?

10. What if my child doesn›t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee? What is your cancellation policy?

11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a website? Can I register online?

Can I pay by credit card?

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions.

Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don›t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching.

You need to feel good about your decision. After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

2016 Summer Camp Guide

R0013730607

There are reasons to think about summer now While it may seem like spring has just sprung, summer will be here before you know it.

According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, that means that it’s time to start thinking about summer learning plans.

“Summer learning is a critical – and often overlooked – part of students’ learning. By planning for summer learning now, parents will help their children avoid the summer learning brain drain,” says Nick Whitehead, founder and CEO of Oxford Learning.

He offers these five reasons why planning for summer learning this spring is so important: 1. Summer is going to be here soon. Spring may have just begun, but before long, students will be studying for exams and handing in their final term projects, which means that it’s not too early to think about what kids are going to be doing this summer.

2. Summer can undo what children are learning right now. Without maintaining learning momentum and study skills over the summer break, students easily forget

Britannia Yacht Club Learn to Sail Program

The BYC Learn to Sail Program is a great opportunity for any child to master the art of sailing. We use only CYA Certified instructors to ensure your child gets the most out of each lesson. They work with each student to develop their individual sailing skills. Your child will have a blast and make lots of new friends!

While enjoying a break, your child also has the opportunity to swim in the Ottawa River.

In partnership with the National Tennis School, we also offer a tennis add-on which enables your child to play for 1 hour, twice a week.

Programs are available for ages 8 to 17 and we offer courses from Beginner to Advanced.

Classes range from one week to four week courses. They operate Monday to Friday through July and August, 9am to 4pm.

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! For more information or to register please contact us: www.byc.ca • 613-828-5167 • info@byc.ca 50 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, March 17, 2016

R0013721714

Included in your registration, your child will have a summer membership to BYC with guests privileges.

Summer will be here before you know it. everything they’re working hard to learn right now, which means that next year, students need to repeat the same workbooks and materials they are learning right now.

3. Summer can have an impact on how children learn next year. After a summer off, it can take kids up to three months to get back into the swing of learning. That represents a huge amount of wasted learning opportunities, and it means that students are not up to their potential from as early as the first day back to class.

4. Kids want to learn in

the summer. Research in summer learning studies shows that 56 per cent of students want to be involved in a summer program that helps them keep up with summer schoolwork or prepare for the next grade.

5. Summer programs fill up fast. Most programs are already accepting applications and taking reservations for summer enrolment. Schools, camps, and supplemental tutoring facilities such as Oxford Learning are no exception.

Does your child love the visual arts or maybe expeditions into the wilderness? Is he a sports fanatic? Specialized summer camps will give him the chance to discover a whole new world, broaden his knowledge and develop his talents.

Specialized camps offer activities for all ages and for all tastes throughout the summer. For a week or more, depending on the organization, young people can participate in exciting programs involving them in enriching activities within a stimulating and friendly environment.

Whether it involves excursions into the wilderness, an immersion course in a foreign language, a science or music camp, team sports or outdoor activities, there’s something to suit everyone.

Along with these specialized activities, summer camps also offer events that involve all the campers, outings and cultural visits. The staff also plans alternative activities just in case Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate!

Staffed by professionals and students, specialized camps can also offer young people the opportunity to develop abilities in areas in which they could one day

Summer and March Break Camps

Summer is just around the corner; be camp ready On a chilly day like today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that the warm weather will be back in a few short weeks. Summer is just around the corner, and it will soon be time for your children to go off to summer camp or to day camp.

Have you started thinking about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like them to do? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better get busy, because now is the time to register if you want those early-bird prices.

Special camps

First of all, find out from your children exactly what they have in mind when they think about going to camp.

Of course, traditional camps are always available; they are ideal for children who love a bit of everything. Other camps are more specialized, and some offer activities that are really off the beaten path.

Think about the following possibilities: sports, outdoor activities, dance, martial arts, sciences, languages, performing arts, visual arts, music, cooking, archeology, soccer, horse riding, deep-sea diving, circus, and the list goes on.

The next step is to find out if your children are ready to go to sleep-away camp, where they can stay for a week or more, or if they prefer day camp, so they can come home every night.

Some specialized camps welcome families or specialneeds children who might have disabilities, be ill, or require specialized care.

Formulas

Benefits

When your children have made their choices and are registered, give yourself a pat on the back. Attending summer camp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with all its challenges, experiences, and learning opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will have a positive effect on your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development.

Children who attend camp develop their socializing skills, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, physical abilities, and environmental awareness.

2016 Summer Camp Guide

Sports fans have a lot of choice

Parents who are looking for a specialized camp for their sports-mad children next summer have lots of choice. More and more businesses and summer camp managers have developed expertise in order to offer programs specifically adapted to the expectations of young athletes.

By participating in a sports day camp, a child can acquire techniques and knowledge which will be very profitable when the time comes to return to regular activities with the hockey, basketball or volleyball team next fall.

Hockey is still one of the most popular sports during the summer. One or two weeks at a specialized summer school will allow young hockey players to develop their abilities and improve their play thanks to the advice and supervision of a qualified team of instructors.

Apart from training sessions on the ice, the program usually includes off-ice exercises, video sessions and other recreational activities.

Over the years, soccer has gained so much in popularity across the country that many camps now specialize in this sport for its young fans; a great way for players to develop their talents and improve their technique.

As well as being able to practise their favourite sport during the summer, fans of golf, tennis, baseball and athletics can also improve their skills at specialized camps.

The programming at these camps can vary as to content and often include extracurricular activities.

In short, there is no lack of choice for young people interested in a particular sport and who wish to develop their potential while experiencing a wonderful group adventure.

Options for budding riders

Are you looking for something unique for your children to do this summer?

An outdoors activity, where they’ll get lots of fresh air and exercise but will also feel as if they’re on vacation?

What you need is an equestrian camp. Your children are sure to love riding camp, whether they’re beginner or expert riders.

Generally speaking, these camps are accessible to children of all levels of skill and experience.

Children are assessed and placed into small groups that take into account riding ability and age, and mandatory riding helmets help assure the safety of all campers, no matter how experienced they are.

Varied activities

At riding camp, some or all of the following activities will keep your children busy throughout the day: riding lessons, equestrian techniques, learning to care for and prepare horses, games, trail rides, and complementary outdoor activities. Some establishments even organize an equestrian show at the end of the camp.

Practice and theory

An introduction to riding

includes a bit of theoretical knowledge (anatomy, colours and markings, disciplines, shoeing, reproduction, and breeds) as well as riding basics and care (diet, vital signs, ban-

dages, veterinary care, feeding, and grooming).

At riding camp, children can learn more about the behaviour of horses, how to groom them, clean their shoes, saddle them,

and ride them while developing their sense of balance. Best of all, children develop a meaningful partnership with the horse, a relationship that builds self-esteem and determination.

Break open the hot flaky puff pastry to find tender braised beef, potato and vegetables in a flavourful beer infused sauce.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: about 1-1/4 hours Baking Time: 30 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients • 3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper • 1 lb (500 g) stewing beef, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces • 3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil • 1 onion, coarsely chopped • 2 carrots, coarsely chopped • 1 potato, peeled and cut into small chunks • 4 oz (125 g) mushrooms, quartered (about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL) • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried

thyme and dried rosemary leaves • 2 cups (500 mL) stout beer • 2 tbsp (25 mL) tomato paste • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce • 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar • Half (397 g) pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed • 1 Ontario Egg, lightly beaten

instructions

In large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and pepper; add beef and toss to coat.

In large deep pot or Dutch oven, heat 1-1/2 tbsp (22 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; add beef and brown.

Transfer to bowl.

Add remaining oil to pot and cook onion for 1 minute.

Add carrots, potato, mushrooms, garlic, thyme and rosemary; reduce heat to low and cook 3 minutes, stirring often.

Add beer, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Return beef to pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat,

cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Spoon 3/4 cup (175 mL) of beef mixture into six individual 1-cup (250 mL) ovenproof ramekin dishes. Allow stew to cool before adding pastry top.

On lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Cut out 6 circles 1/2-inch (1 cm) larger than the top of the ramekin dishes.

Place pastry circles on top of each dish, pushing the excess pastry down inside the ramekin.

Cut an x into the top of the crust. Brush pastry tops with beaten egg. Place ramekins on baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Tip: Prepare pies up to 1 day ahead, cover and refrigerate cooked pies. Reheat in 325°F (160°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is hot.

Pilots able to practice emergency procedures safely sidelined from duty for training.

Continued from page 38

Noting the fleet’s importance, Thomas said pilots fly coast guard technicians to very remote locations to repair and maintain communication towers, often placed on mountaintops and along coasts where there is no road access.

They also fly in techs to service and repair 17,000 navigational aids which guide the safe movement of about 480 million tonnes of marine cargo annually, valued at more than $210 billion, Thomas said.

The announcement was made just a stone’s throw away from a Transport Canada hangar where two brand new Bell 429 choppers are parked and being used to train pilots in the meantime.

With the simulator, pilots will be able to practise skills that wouldn’t be safe in the sky, such as emergency procedures and shutting down engines, said Weir, who is responsible for

NEW JOBS

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Dave Weir, chief pilot at Transport Canada, sits in the cockpit of a newly acquired Bell 429 Canadian Coast Guard helicopter in a facility at the Ottawa International Airport. The federal government has awarded a $17-million contract for the construction of a flight simulator to be based in Ottawa that will be used to train pilots on a new fleet of Canadian Coast Guard helicopters. professional development standards for all Transport

The simulator will also

The contract will create 43 engineering and manufacturing jobs over the next two years, which Ottawa South MP David McGuinty welcomed.

“I’ve always believed the most important investment our country can make is in learning,” he said at the announcement.

“If we’re going to compete, if we’re going to stay ahead, we’re going to … give our coast guard the expertise they need to do their jobs.”

The expansion of the Transport Canada Training Centre, where the simulator will be housed, is underway and expected to be ready in September.

If Wal-Mart can price match, why can’t Hydro One? Councillor creates petition to harmonize rural hydro rates Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

If you don’t try, you’ll never know.

That’s why Coun. George Darouze of Osgoode ward spent months creating a petition to the Ontario govern-

ment, urging them to harmonize hydro rates for all Ottawa residents.

“I don’t think it’s fair for rural residents to pay 30 per cent more than people on the other side of Mitch Owens (Road),” said Darouze of the difference between

Hydro Ottawa rates paid by urban residents and Hydro One rates paid by those in the city’s rural areas.

Darouze’s petition was prompted by the increasingly varied rates paid by residents who live in different areas of the same city. The problem,

Nepean South Infrastructure Projects Open House Monday, March 21, 2016 Walter Baker Sports Centre, Upper Concourse, 100 Malvern Drive 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Residents are invited to attend an Open House at which four infrastructure projects planned for Nepean South will be presented.

Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the projects with the study teams and provide feedback.

Municipal Class Environmental Assessments (EA) These Municipal Class EA studies are being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Chapman Mills Drive Extension and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m.

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Chapman Mills Drive Extension (Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive) and Bus Rapid Transit (Greenbank Road to west of Cedarview Road) EA Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation infrastructure requirements around the Barrhaven Town Centre area. The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project.

At this third and final Open House, participants will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Recommended Plan. Residents are encouraged to provide comments by April 4. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/chapmanmillsextension.

he said, is that when Ottawa amalgamated more than 15 years ago, 45,000 rural residents were not absorbed by the city’s utility company: Hydro Ottawa. Instead, they were left with their existing provider: Hydro One. For years, the discrepancy wasn’t an issue. However, in 2004 and 2005, Hydro One changed their billing structure and began to charge a delivery fee to rural residents. This caused rates in areas like Manotick, Greely and Osgoode to skyrocket, resting currently at about 30 per cent more than rates inside the urban core.

“The residents are really tired of paying,” Darouze said. “We need to do something.”

The first option put on the table was for Hydro Ottawa to purchase service rights for those 45,000 rural Ottawa residents from Hydro One. However, that option proved to be a dead end.

Darouze said it would be “financially irresponsible” for Hydro Ottawa to take

over those residents.

“There is a lot of hurdles,” Darouze said of that option.

“We could work on it for another four, five, 10 years and nothing would happen.”

Instead, working on a suggestion from a Greely resident, Darouze said his office began to look into creating a petition that would more quickly and efficiently bring attention to the issue.

The petition calls on the provincial government to equalize rates between urban and rural residents. “If WalMart can price match,” Darouze said, “why can’t Hydro One match the price for our residents?”

The petition is using a hard-copy platform as opposed to an online one. This, Darouze said, gives it more credibility. The form can be downloaded from Darouze’s website (www.georgedarouze.ca) or Facebook. Alternatively, the form can be picked up from his office at 8243 Victoria St. in Metcalfe.

When completed, the forms can be dropped off at Da-

rouze’s office, sent in by mail or picked up by a member of his staff if arrangements are made.

“We need everyone in the City of Ottawa to sign,” Darouze said. “I think we have an opportunity to voice our concerns and voice our opinion to Queen’s Park.”

Darouze said the petition will be available for as long as it takes to get all the signatures from Ottawa residents that it possibly can.

“This is a community effort,” he said. “We have to work on it as a team.”

Darouze said he thinks a petition is the most efficient and effective way to draw attention to the hydro rate issue facing rural residents; after all, he said, they have nothing to lose.

“We are not going to lose anything,” he said of rural residents, including himself, who are paying too much for hydro.

“The result could be great and it could be not, but if you don’t at least try you’ll never know.”

Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design for the expansion and retrofit of the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The existing facility is an online wet pond that was constructed in 1976. The facility will be retrofitted to meet current City of Ottawa and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change stormwater treatment standards and expanded to meet the demands of the development of Nepean South.

At the Open House, participants will learn of the preferred alternative for expanding and retrofitting the facility. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/kennedyburnett.

Make sure TO BE SEEN IN

Greenbank Road Watermain The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design Study for the Greenbank Road watermain between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River. The study will determine the most appropriate alignment for a 610 millimetre diameter transmission watermain including methodology for crossing the Jock River. The watermain will improve water supply and reliability in the Nepean South development area. Planning and construction of the watermain will be coordinated with the approved widening and realignment of Greenbank Road. The study is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/greenbankwatermain.

Planned Construction Nepean Collector Sewer - Phase 2 The City is constructing a 2.4 kilometre long, 1050 millimetre diameter sanitary collector sewer. Phase 1 of the South Nepean Collector Sewer was constructed in 2005/2006 and ends at Jockvale Road just north of the Jock River. Phase 2 will extend from Phase 1 toward Strandherd Drive and will service the development of Nepean South. Sewer construction is scheduled to begin this summer and to be completed by spring 2017.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A recent development may bring you luck and turn out in your favor, Aries.

If financial deals seem lucrative, go ahead and trust your instincts to move ahead.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, maintaining a long-distance relationship or friendship can be challenging, but you have what it takes to make the most of the situation.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, fun is ahead if you are willing to take some risks. Take a chance and hang out with a new crowd this week. These might be just the people to add some hop to your step.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This is a terrific week to sit down and talk with someone you have not seen in a while, Cancer. Enjoy this reunion and all the laughs that come with strolling down Memory Lane.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Your love life may take an exciting turn, Leo. Prepare for what’s ahead by letting someone else take control for a little while. Expect something to happen out of the blue.
