Drop in centre for LGBTQ youth opens Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Kanata Haven Youth Centre held its first monthly drop in for LGBTQ youth and their supporters on March 5 in Glen Cairn, becoming one of the first community supports for queer and transgender people in Ottawa’s west end. In about two months the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre plans to do

the same, opening their own drop-in centre in Kanata. That news might not have meant very much to Glen Cairn resident Amanda Jetté Knox a little more than a year ago. But now, it’s a major development for her and her family. “I was thrilled,” she said. “We don’t have anything like this in the west end right now.” See YOUTH, page 6

Kanata teacher and author Caroline Pignat, second from left, points out artifacts brought up from the Empress of Ireland shipwreck shown in an exhibit at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. The porthole, seen here, was of particular interest to Pignat, who wrote an historical fiction book about the ship’s sinking. Open portholes on the ship provided a way for some small passengers to escape the quickly sinking vessel in 1914, leaving others trapped in their cabins. For the full story, see page 14.

Lockheed Martin Canada opened up its new facility on Palladium Drive to some of the community on March 12, showing off work for its latest military contracts and explaining the need for the move to its new Kanata location. The Canadian defence contractor had been headquartered on Solandt Road since 1994, but moved into the 501 Palladium Dr. facility on early December of this year. News that Smart Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of interactive educational tools for schools and workplaces, was shutting down its office and manufacturing facility on Palladium Drive “became a prime opportunity for us,” said

Rosemary Chapdelaine, vice president and general manager for Lockheed Martin Canada’s Mission Systems and Training division. Lockheed Martin was “bursting at the seams” at its Solandt location, she said. With the company expanding and more growth expected, the move to a more modern, larger facility was a necessity, she said. About 165 Lockheed Martin employees were moved into the new building by early December. Lockheed Martin Canada is expecting to hire about 80 new employees at facilities between Kanata and Nova Scotia, with many of them coming to Kanata, said Amanda Hauck, the company’s senior communications representative.

The company has three large Navy contracts currently, with work on the Royal Canadian Navy’s Halifax class frigates taking place at the present, said the manufacturing area’s tech supervisor, Robert Blick. The facility is working on modernizing 12 frigates’ combat management systems, redesigning the entire system and building control consoles, command chairs and computer cabinets, which must withstand extreme heat and cold as well as water and combat damage. Another contract is with the Royal New Zealand Navy, which the company touted as “the first time a foreign navy will send their warships to Canada for a full scale modernization.”

From Smart boards to smarter battle ships

Lockheed Martin Canada employee Roger Hildesheim shows off some of the types of innovation the company is trying to foster at its new 501 Palladium Dr. facility. A glider pilot and instructor, he demonstrated his homemade quadcopter flying machine during a tour of the facility. He contructed the machine out of RC car motors, RC plane props and Wii nunchuck controller acceleromoters.

The contract is to install the same combat management system in two of New Zealand’s Anzac class frigates. The third navy contract is for Canada’s Arctic/offshore patrol ships, though little was shared on exactly what work the company was doing. The facility was also working on electronic warfare components for CF-18s, ground radar, and a nonmilitary solar panel project expected to be shipped to aboriginal communities in Manitoba.

Youth have a place to ‘be yourself’: mother of transgender child Continued from page 1

“. . . I think it’s wonderful,” said Knox. A lot changed for the Knox’s when their now 12-year-old daughter came out as being transgender in an email to Jetté Knox and her husband last year. “It was a Tuesday evening, and my husband said, ‘What do you want to do about this, what are we going to do?’ And I said, ‘Well, we are going to tell our child that we love him,” said Jetté Knox. “At the time we were using ‘him’.” Though some transgender people show signs of not being comfortable in their physical gender at an early age, others don’t, said Jetté Knox, includ-

ing her daughter, who used to live as a boy. Though she admits to being shocked by her child’s coming out email, she said her decision to be supportive came down to one fact: “If you love a child, you should love that child,” she said. Now, with her name legally changed to Alexis, Jetté Knox’s daughter lives as a girl full time. While Jetté Knox said she was somewhat knowledgeable of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community before, she has never known anyone who was transgender, or was aware that she knew someone who was transgender. Now, the Knoxes have done

their best to educate themselves more about that community, hoping to give their daughter a grasp of what she is going through and how to handle it. The new LGBTQ drop ins are a huge development for Alexis, said Jetté Knox. “The LGBTQ community is really underserved in this area,” said Jetté Knox. Though school programs are beneficial, Alexis is now homeschooled due to bullying and worries over the move to middle school. “So to have a drop-in location where she can go and connect with other kids will mean that she is going to be around people who accept her,” said Jetté Knox. See SECOND, page 7

Two new drop ins for queer and transgender youth are to take place on Thursdays at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre at 170 Castlefrank Rd., constituting some of the first supports for the queer and transgender community in Ottawa’s west end, says community resource workers. The Kanata Haven Youth Centre’s new drop in started on March 5, while the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s program is expected to begin by the end of April.

Second drop in to open by the end of April Continued from page 6

“That isn’t always the case. Especially when you have a child like mine who is trans; safety can be an issue.” “She will feel safer and hopefully make some lasting friendships and find support,” said Jetté Knox. The Kanata Haven Youth Centre started working on their #OK2BME drop in for LGBTQ youth and allies because youth at their other drop in commented about eight months ago that there wasn’t a place for queer or transgender kids in Kanata, said Haven’s executive director, Diane McNulty. “The closest (drop in) was all the way downtown,” said McNulty. Having identified the need, Haven partnered with Pink Triangle Services, a group that works to educate and empower queer people in Ottawa. Beginning on March 5, the drop in is open on the first Thursday of every month at the Dick Brule Community Centre at 170 Castlefrank Road between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. A pair of Pink Triangle Services volunteers facilitates the drop in. “It’s very informal, so we don’t run specific programming but we can depending on what youth want to do,” said McNulty. The opening night saw six youth attend, including Alexis, said Jetté Knox. “She was nervous at first and very quickly warmed up and didn’t want to leave,” she said. “It was a really big moment for her.” The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre identified the same lack of LGBTQ support in Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton about a year and a half ago, said Sarah Smythe, youth community developer with the resource centre. “A lot of youth who are accessing LGBTQ services downtown were coming from the west end,” said Smythe.

“Our catchment area has the largest number of children and youth of any other catchment, so by this fact alone we know that it also has the largest number of LGBTQ youth and children,” she said. The resource centre has since held focus groups with students at West Carleton Secondary School and A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, as well as with parents to figure out what sorts of information should be available to youth at an LGBTQ drop in. Students identified topics like mental health, coming out to parents, friends and loved ones, and the difference between being gay or lesbian versus being transgender. These are the kinds of discussions that can happen at the resource centre’s drop in for LGBTQ youth and supporters, but that is largely up to the youth themselves to decide. The drop in is also meant to be a friendly meeting space, said Smythe. The drop in is expected to start at the end of April, taking place every other Thursday at the Dick Brule Community Centre, said Smythe. While Haven’s efforts are based purely on volunteers, funding for the resource centre’s efforts came from a community donation, and so their program will be a one-year pilot. Though Haven and the resource centre did not coordinate their efforts, both Smythe and McNulty said that two safe spaces for LGBTQ youth are being created can only be a good thing. While having a space to meet people and hang out might seem like a small thing, it’s exactly what’s needed, said Jetté Knox, “The biggest issue (for Alexis) is the social aspect of it,” she said. “By having these programs in the community, we are telling the community that it is OK to be yourself, and if (other) kids have questions and they want to learn more, they can go to those nights as well. As long as they are supportive, they are welcome.”

Price to be paid for low taxes

J

im Watson ran for re-election on a record of fiscal prudence, and the 2015 city budget is evidence that nothing much will change on that front. City council and the mayor have once again approved a budget that includes modest property tax increases, keeping the largest bumps to a mere two per cent. This restraint will see Ottawans’ wallets and quality of life take a hit in other places though, as fees were raised and services corralled. Transit fees will increase, taking money out of the pockets of those who can least afford it, and recreation fees will also increase, making swimming lessons and yoga classes more costly for all. At the same time, these fee increases will only maintain services at current levels, and won’t see residents get any more bang for their buck. With transit, this only adds insult to injury as bus routes were “rationalized� only a of couple years ago, making service less convenient for users. Adding to the burden, the property tax restraint has seen city staff and councillors forced into situa-

tions where they must decide which projects will be funded and which must be put off for another year. In south Ottawa for example, a play structure scheduled for replacement at Calzavara Family Park has been put off because the expected money isn’t available. It’s difficult to see why in an affluent city like Ottawa, where incomes are well above the national average and residents are highly educated, needs to be placed on a municipal revenue IV drip. Residents don’t want to see cherished services like parks, community centres, arenas, pools, and libraries fall into disrepair for years so that politicians can boast of their economic acumen. Down the road in Toronto, taxes are rising 2.25 per cent, which will provide funding for “important new investments in services and infrastructure,� according to Mayor John Tory, along with stable transit fares and free rides for children under 12. It shouldn’t take too much creativity for Ottawa to match such ambition, and wouldn’t cost tax payers too much more. It would just involve letting go of a bit of cherished dogma.

We just want our fair share here in Ottawa

W

hen you think about it, it’s rather amazing that Ottawa could be neglected by the very politicians who spend most of their time here. The thought arises out of a recent article about the travels of the prime minister. It is thought, perhaps not cynically, that the places he visits are those that have the most importance for him and his party in the coming federal election. With that in mind, considerable emphasis was placed on the fact that 20 of his 41 Canadian events since September have been in the Toronto area. No emphasis at all was placed on the fact that two of those 41 events took place in Ottawa. Well, of course it’s partly natural.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Toronto has a lot more ridings. Plus, many of the people who live in those ridings are thought to be politically fickle: they will change parties at the gleam of a shiny election promise. Whereas here we are more stable. We don’t jump around much between elections. A couple of ridings are in play every election, but most remain faithfully Liberal or Conservative. This isn’t paying off for us. We have to learn to be less reliable,

more flighty, more volatile. Otherwise, no politician is going to pay attention to us and promise us stuff. For them, Ottawa will always be the place where they go to meetings for a few days a week before heading out to the airport to resume the serious business of making promises to people in other places. Now, a couple of Ottawa ridings, Ottawa West-Nepean and Ottawa Centre, have been known, in recent history, to change parties. It’s not certain that they benefitted greatly from this. Perhaps you could argue that light rail in the west end is a benefit in which the feds were peripherally involved. As for Ottawa Centre, what?

votes changing hands because of it. We don’t ask for much, here in the capital, just a few grand gestures that tell us we matter. A bridge, for example: what about a nice bridge over the Ottawa River for the longsuffering people who live out Nepean way? Nothing tells constituents they matter like a bridge. What else would we like? It doesn’t necessarily have to be something material. Sometimes just a little symbolism can go a long way – like the prime minister choosing a location in our city as the backdrop for a major policy announcement. Such symbolic initiatives need not come from the government alone. It would please us if one of the opposition parties choose an Ottawa backdrop – one of our Tim Hortons, say – to announce one of those homey little plans to comfort the middle class. We would even be happy if an opposition party leader EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ THERESA FRITZ METROLAND COM NEWS EDITOR: "LAIR %DWARDS BLAIR EDWARDS METROLAND COM REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: !DAM +VETON ADAM KVETON METROLAND COM

chose Ottawa as a place to issue a partial apology for a previous announcement that had been widely misinterpreted. We just want our fair share, is all. It’s the least we deserve for letting those folks use Parliament Hill.

Women still a long way from equality in the workplace

I

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to that the reality that the majority of women in Canada continue to bear primary responsibilities for child and elderly care – a situation the network’s research found few employers are addressing through work/life policies – and there are a lot of systemic things holding women back. Creating an environment for women to push into the C-suite, however, isn’t about blaming the system. Women, too, have a responsibility to speak up for themselves, and not accept the status quo. At a recent Women in the World Conference in San Francisco, former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairwoman Tina Brown made a startling statement when she admitted she had frequently opted to pay women less than men, because women don’t ask for more money. “People want to work for less money, I’ll pay them less money,” said Brown. “I don’t call them up and go, ‘Can I give you some more?’”

gotiating for a higher salary, it can paradoxically offer enormous corporate benefit. Women as leaders tend to be more collaborative and democratic. Considering others, collaborating and bringing together multiple points of view into corporate decisions can have a positive impact on the bottom line. And while cynics may fear women-led companies may be less risk averse than those run by men, the research proves otherwise. The Network of Executive Women Canada reports that companies with women on boards generate significantly greater return on investment and higher revenues that those without women. International Women’s Day may be a few weeks behind us, but that doesn’t mean we should take our eyes off the prize. Women can step up, be prepared to negotiate where it makes sense and take the chance on promotions – or as Facebook CFO Sheryl Sandberg said, “lean in”-but companies should also harness the power of feminism and lean in a bit, too. The only possible outcome is a positive one.

n the days following International Women’s Day, quite a few conversations popped up in social media and around the water cooler about women and work. It’s easy for men and women to get complacent in the West about feminism. Women have come a long way, from pay equity to gradually filling the gaps in middle management positions. But sadly, we are still a long way from equality in the workplace. The persistent divide between men and women remains glaringly evident in business, particularly in sectors that employ more women than men, such as retail. If you were to consider your most recent trip to the mall or the grocery store, chances are high you were served by a woman. Look a little closer, however, and you’ll see that women represent just 8.9 per cent of CEOs and one-fifth of the senior officers in the Canadian retail industry, a shockingly low number. Why, after decades of pushing, are women failing to get into top positions? A 2013 report by the Network of Executive Women Canada found there continues to be “bias toward women’s abilities; lack of access to networking and mentoring opportunities; a persistent gender gap in wages and salaries.” Add

Brown was using the statement as a catalyst for women to take more risk and generally push for more in their work lives. There are a bulk of studies to back the theory that, when it comes to negotiating personal moves in business, women are more risk averse than men. A recent U.S. study by Mara Mather and Nichole R. Lighthall found gender differences are amplified under stress. “Male risk-taking tends to increase under stress, while female risk taking tends to decrease under stress,” summarizes Doug Sundheim in The Harvard Business Review. Sundheim goes on to point out that risk-taking typically involves two key factors. First, what is the likelihood that the risk will hit strategic objectives? Second, what impact will the risk have on people involved? He goes onto say that women have a tendency to focus on the second point, carefully considering how their decision will impact others. While the latter point may have a negative impact on individual women, who are, say, ne-

Kanata Knights QB a Canadian sensation at American school Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

For years, Janice Rehman had been preparing to say goodbye to her son by the time he reached Grade 11. Tyler Rehman, a young, gifted quarterback playing for the Kanata Knights, was determined to play football in the U.S. by that time. Neither of them were expecting that an opportunity to play for a private college preparatory school in Hagerstown, MD, would come along two years sooner, and that, by age 14, Tyler would be the fifth-ranked starting quarterback in all U.S. high schools as a freshman, throwing for 1,800 yards in nine games and 24 touchdowns. Referred to by his American teammates as Molson, Gretzky or Air Canada, the 15-year-old is being groomed to play college football, with the potential for a National Football League career, said a pair of his coaches. “No coach can guarantee anything, but Tyler’s talent and work ethic already have college coaches noticing,” said his head coach at Saint James School in Maryland, John Root. “Tyler has some God-given talent, and the rest comes from hard work.” While Tyler’s ability and love of

football is paving his way to higher learning, and perhaps a professional career now, his road into football was not nearly as smooth. “My mom swore I would never play football,” said Tyler, back home in Stittsville while on a school break. It wasn’t that she had any particular dislike for football, she explained. One of her three brothers played quarterback, so she was somewhat familiar with the game. But Tyler was already busy with Canada’s game. “I was a hockey mom,” said Rehman. “I loved going to the hockey rink, I had a real social network at the hockey rink, it was one hour, you were in, you were out, you were done. Football, we would drive by (the field) and I would see the parents sitting in the pouring rain. I always thought, ‘I am never going to be one of those parents sitting in the stands, there is no way.” But, just as seeing those parents in the stands was keeping Rehman from considering football, watching the players compete was sparking an interest in Tyler. By age nine or 10, Tyler’s curiosity for football wouldn’t let up, and Rehman eventually consented to enrolling him in the Kanata Knights.

10 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, March 19, 2015

Passionate student of the game paves his way to the NFL Continued from page 10

On the first day of practice, Tyler’s football coach had the players line up based on what position they wanted to play, but Tyler didn’t know what any of the positions were. “So I walked over to my mom and said, ‘Mom, what should I be?’� he said. “The only position she knew (was quarterback), because her brother played quarterback and my cousin played quarterback, so she said, ‘I don’t know, maybe quarterback.’� That year and every year since, Tyler has been the starting quarterback for his team. The boy learned the game “like a sponge,� according to the chair of the Kanata Knights and Tyler’s former coach, Dan Lachance. “Tyler is a pretty special individual when it comes to football,� said Lachance. “It’s not all about size with him, it’s about his knowledge of the game and the study of the game.� Dedicating himself to the sport, Tyler developed faster than most, growing to be the top-ranked quarterback in Ontario in 2012, said Lachance. “In the last 15 years, he would be in the top three (quarterbacks) coming out of Ottawa,� he said. HEADING SOUTH

To provide greater opportunity to Tyler, Lachance put the Rehman’s in contact with Root in Maryland, where Tyler received a $40,000 schol-

arship to Saint James School where he could develop in the land of football. “They sleep, eat, breathe football (in the U.S.),� said Tyler. “To be around people who love it almost as much as me is big time.� Getting an American team to follow orders from a young Canadian quarterback might have been a problem, as Canadian footballers are generally underrated in the U.S., said Tyler. His name was already on the lips of students when he first arrived, with many interested in seeing what he was capable of. “As soon as we stepped onto the football field, no one really knew what to expect,� said Tyler. “But then, when I started throwing, the first couple throws that I threw, a couple times I heard, ‘oh, oh.’ Guys were like, ‘Oh wow, that kid can actually throw.� Showing he just might have what it took, Tyler went to work earning the team’s respect. “I would work hard. In sprints, I never dogged it. I tried to be the first guy there, show them that I’m not just some joke, I’m coming here, I’m going to work hard, and I’m going to help you guys,� he said. Though playing for the team is rigorous, the academic workout is equally strenuous, said Tyler. But that’s a good thing, he said, as, right now, football is a means to getting a good education, he said.

A legal alternative A proud graduate of Algonquin College’s Law Clerk and Paralegal programs, the work ethic David Elliott gained during his undergraduate degree in Criminology and Political Science at the University of Toronto meant he excelled in both programs, gaining advanced standing and completing the college programs in two years instead of four. As a licensed paralegal, Elliott provides services involving small claims court matters, workplace discrimination is-

That’s something that coach Root is fairly clear about. “One thing all athletes have in common is that one day they all will put their cleats away and will need to be productive members of society and the education they receive is what will take them through the rest of their lives,� he said. Though continuing to play football for as long as possible is plan A, Tyler definitely has a plan B and C if that doesn’t work out. Being a firefighter is another dream of his, he said, and he could see himself becoming an architect or a paramedic. While he is getting the grades to do those things, it’s hard to keep his first love at bay. “In class sometimes, I’m drawing up football plays, and I should be listening,� he admitted. Even now, Tyler has a tough time putting his finger on exactly what makes him so passionate about football. Every once in a while, he gets nostalgic for hockey, watching his friends play and wishing he could get on the ice too, but choosing football over hockey was not a hard decision, he said. While still trying to play both games, Tyler would arrive to a hockey game kitted out in his football gear, and would struggle to get his skates on. “I wish I could have gone on the ice in my football equipment,� he said. “That’s how much I like football.�

A scholarship created in memory of Jamie Hubley is in its second year, and is once again looking to lend a hand to those experiencing mental health issues or who want to work in the field of mental health. Applications for the Jamie Hubley Scholarship for Mental Health are due by March 31to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Foundation (YSB). The scholarship is in honour of Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old Kanata resident who took his own life on Oct. 15, 2011. An openly gay student at his high school, Jamie was bullied continually. Two $2,000 scholarships are available: the first is for someone with “educational and vocational goals related to the field of mental health,” while the second is for someone with an “experience of mental health disorder/mental illness,” said the application guide. A committee put together by the Hubley family will choose the recipient of each scholarship. “It’s important,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley of the scholarship that honours his son. “It means a lot to us to know that that’s more people getting into the field of mental health,” he said of the first scholarship. Of the second, he said, “It’s nice to be able to take somebody going through those challenges and give them a helping hand.” Last year, Jessica Trempe from

Though only in its second year, the scholarships are expected to continue “for many years to come,” said Suzanne Fraser, communications manager for the youth services bureau. Funding for the scholarships come through donations made in Jamie Hubley’s name to the youth services bureau’s charitable foundation, with the fund currently at about $80,000. SUBMITTED

JAMIE

A figure skater since age five, and a singer in the last year of his life, Jamie “was having a lot of fun entertaining people,” said Hubley. “He liked to make people happy, and that’s why it seemed so hard for him to deal with depression,” he said. “He couldn’t understand why people would go after him like that when all he

OPP and Ottawa police target distracted drivers with week-long campaign

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

A one-day blitz last week by the Ottawa police and OPP saw cops hand out 135 tickets – 65 of them were for cellphone use. The fines come in at a hefty $280. “There is no loss of demerit points yet, but legislation is being worked on,” said Ottawa police Sgt. Denis Hull. Hull has been a leading force in the ‘Leave the Phone Alone’ campaign that began back in October. “We are doing it through education, partnership and enforcement,” said Hull. “We want people to take a pledge to leave the phone alone for 21 days. We say 21 days because it takes that long to kick a bad habit.” Hull said there are plans to take the campaign into the schools very soon, with activity books and video components. Police want the students to take a texting pledge with their family. Stickers will be placed on a poster saying they took the pledge, but also on vehicles. Hull questioned if children see parents checking phones while driving, what are the children going to do? In the months since Leave the Phone Alone began, Hull knows there has yet to be visible change to the distracted driving statistics.

SECOND URBAN EXPANSION AREA Two of the urban expansion areas approved in 2009 are adjacent to Kanata North. The community design plan now being developed for lands along March Road, is well underway, as well as an area west of Terry Fox and south of the railway track which will soon have a concept plan proposed. The land is owned by one company, Richcraft. I have spoken to them about public consultation and they will soon be scheduling a public information meeting where all the potential development constraints will be identified, including any habitat of endangered species. Information on the time and place of the public meeting will be provided here and on my website once available.

PARENTING IN OTTAWA SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

The OPP and the Ottawa police kicked off their weeklong campaign to combat distracted driving on March 13. The province-wide operation lasts until March 20. Promoting the campaign, from left, at the Kanata OPP station are Murray Knowles, Brad Hampson, Sgt. Denis Hull and detachment commander Stephan Neufeld.

The Ottawa Board of Health has launched a new interactive online web initiative to help parents access relevant and reliable parenting information. Take your questions about pregnancy and parenting from birth to the teen years to the http://www.parentinginottawa.com/en/ index.asp Parenting in Ottawa website and receive live support from a Public Health Nurse and parenting experts in the community.

WOMEN’S INTERNATIONAL DAY (IWD) BREAKFAST

“It’s something that is here to stay for the long run,” he said. The distracted driving movement has caught on with many organizations – the Ottawa Redblacks, Bell Media (CTV), CFRA,

Magic, TSN, CAA are just a few that have joined up with the police as partners. The province-wide operation against distracted driving went into full force on March 14 and lasts until Friday, March 20.

Thanks to all who attended my IWD Breakfast last week, and particularly to Emily Poulsen for leading us in a special version of O’ Canada, to Suzanne Doerge and Sado Ibrahim, who told us about their very different backgrounds and how, as women, they celebrate IWD. Many thanks to Symphony Living for providing a great feast, to Tim Horton’s for the coffee and to the volunteers, authors, and artists who added so much to the event. A special, heartfelt thanks to my staff, particularly Tessa, for organizing the event, creating the IWD questionnaire, decorating with the facts on the walls and making everyone feel welcome. I delivered a card signed by many attendees to Mayor Watson that afternoon and told him about the event. He is still very uncomfortable, but is making progress and we all wish him a speedy recovery.

SPRING IS COMING This time of year we experience snow and freezing rain along with warmer days. It’s important to have catch basins open for runoff so City staff are working to clear them, and they are working on fixing the potholes that ‘bloom’ each spring. You can help by clearing the catch basins on the street and particularly in backyard locations. Also please ensure your young children stay away from streams, ditches, ponds and culverts and stay off the ice as it starts to melt. Enjoy the sun, the longer, brighter days and keep safe.

DISTRACTED DRIVING BLITZ

City Councillor, Kanata North

%(&.#G%%&(&-*%(&

Distracted driving will eventually cause more deaths on Ontario highways than impaired driving, said OPP Staff-Sgt. Stephen Neufeld. “Last year there were 288 deaths on Ontario highways and 73 of those deaths were caused by distracted driving” said Neufeld. The Ontario Provincial Police and the Ottawa police kicked off their week-long campaign against distracted driving at the OPP station in Kanata on March 13. People overestimate their driving abilities, said Neufeld, the detachment commander at the Kanata OPP station. “People think one moment to look at their phone is OK,” said Neufeld, a White Lake resident. “All it takes is that one moment to be life-altering for you, your family and other drivers.” Cellphone use is one of the biggest distractions for drivers. There are three points of concentration that can possibly divert people’s attention, said Neufeld. “There’s visual, manual and cogitative driving,” he said. Visual is sight, manual can be doing other things – one driver tried eating a bowl of cereal while steering the wheel with their knees – and cogitative is attention. Are the drivers set on their task or daydreaming about a beach somewhere? “People just have to focus on driving and getting to their destination. If they are tempted to look at their phones, put it in their glove compartment where they can’t get at it.”

Local author brings book to life with tour of sunken ship exhibit Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

For Caroline Pignat, author of historical fiction novel Unspeakable, seeing the Empress of Ireland exhibit for the first time was a bit like stepping into her own book – it made the tragic, real-life sinking of the ship all the more real. On March 12, Pignat took 150 Ottawa school students on a similar journey. The author and All Saints Catholic High School teacher led students from Notre Dame, Immaculata, St. Mark, St. Joseph, St. Paul, Sacred Heart ADAM KVETON/METROLAND and Mother Teresa Catholic Grade 7 and 8 students from seven different high schools in Ottawa check out the high schools through the exEmpress of Ireland exhibit on March 12. They were accompanied by Kanata teacher and hibit at the Canadian Museum author Caroline Pignat who wrote a historical fiction novel on the sinking of the Empress. of History. Many of the Grade 7 and 8 students had read the book as part of the Red Maple reading club. The story is among the 10 nominees for this year’s Red Maple Award, which is chosen based on student votes.

said. While speaking with students and pointing out artifacts at the museum, Pignat could see a bit of the impact her book was having. “I think (the sinking) is a really important part of our history,” said Brynn Kennedy, a Grade 7 student at St. Joseph Catholic High School who read Pignat’s book. “It’s something that happened here and it should be remembered,” she said. “This really happened,” said Alexander Beaudoin, a St. Paul’s Catholic High School student in Grade 7. “It’s not just a book somebody wrote, this really happened,” he said. “You should know about it,” said one of Beaudoin’s classmates, Mea Paoletti. “Not just the Titanic but both.” Seeing the exhibit for the first time had a similar effect on Pignat, she said. Written to coincide with the opening of the museum, Pignat didn’t get to see it until the book was published. But seeing some of the artifacts brought up from the shipwreck over the years really brought the facts of what happened alive. “The first time I saw the exhibit, the porthole just stunned me,” she said. The Empress of Ireland had been rammed by a ship called the Storstad during a sudden fog, causing the ship to start sinking rapidly. But, because the Empress was not yet in open ocean, the portholes hadn’t been closed, causing the ship to fill up with water even faster, while providing some

on board with a way out of their cabins. “My husband and I were looking at (the porthole) and we realized that he probably wouldn’t have fit through,” said Pignat. “That just made it so much more real for me. Imagining being me, I’ve escaped through it and he is still trapped inside of the ship.” Pignat had written just such a scene in her book where one character must leave the other behind, escaping as the other goes down with the ship. “I’m sure that happened to a lot of people on board,” she said. For anyone interested in seeing the exhibit, it is open until April 6 at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. AWARDS

Unspeakable, one of Pignat’s six published works, is nominated for the Red Maple Award with the Ontario Library Association. The award is one of eight where reading clubs of different age levels read some of the nominated novels and vote on who should win. Students and authors head to Toronto in May to meet and find out who won. The Red Maple Award winner, selected by readers in Grades 7 and 8, will be chosen on May 12, said Pignat. “One of the highlights of my career was to be able to go to that event, so I’m really excited to get to go again for this book,” she said. Pignat’s book has also been nominated for the Canadian Library Association Award, she said.

OC Transpo slammed for sole-sourcing

R0013180346

Patrick Longchamps

Ottawa’s auditor general said the city should have used an open bid process to outsource its lost and found program. Auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report to the audit committee on March 12. Two of the six audits concerned OC Transpo, the most contentious being the sole source contract with the nonprofit group Heartwood House which has been handling the transit company’s lost and found service for the better part of 15 years. The other audit criticized OC Transpo for its cancellation notification system, which tells passengers when buses are delayed or cancelled. “Since 2001, OC Transpo lost and found has been managed under a sole source contract, non-profit organization that has cost the city approximately $600,000,” said Hughes. That works out to about $43,000 a year, instead of the $71,500 it used to cost to do it in-house, said John Manconi,

the general manager of transit services. The sole-source contract was justified as a pilot project in 2001, and then it was rationalized again when it was renewed in 2004 based on “the specialized expertise that Heartwood House has developed,” the report said. The auditor said the city should have been issuing requests for proposals to fairly assign the lost and found contract – something Manconi said was done in 2009 for the $245,000 contract that ended in 2013. The auditor also found the agreement should have included a more stringent insurance clause; the 2009 agreement had a $1-million insurance clause, while the city’s standard for the 2001 agreement had been for $2 million. “It’s certainly unusual to have a sole-source contract of that nature; it’s unusual to have an important relationship with a supplier when you have no assurance that they’re going to continue to have the ability to provide that service to the city

of Ottawa,” said Hughes. A new request for proposals process was initiated for the contract’s renewal in late 2014. The audit also highlighted a potential or actual conflict of interest when a city employee on the file was personally connected to someone from Heartwood House. When asked about the connection between the two, Hughes said he couldn’t comment on the exact nature of their relationship. “It would be because a family related relationship of a city of Ottawa employee and someone who had a relationship with the organization that was handling the lost and found process,” he said. Management said the employee had told them in 2004 that there was a conflict of interest, during their time working on the sole-sourced contract, when Heartwood House was looking for more money. The non-profit needed more to cover the operating costs of their program. On two other occasions the management of this employee

was poorly handled according to the report. The employee was advised by superiors to stop their involvement in the contract in June 2011. The employee failed to follow their advice. In January 2014 the employee once again mentioned the conflict of interest but continued to work on the file. The employee mentioned above is no longer working on this file, staff said. The auditor general also expressed surprise that, until last year, OC Transpo employees had a long-standing practice of keeping unclaimed lost and found items. Heartwood House said on its website it receives more than 30,000 items each year, and 26 per cent are returned to their rightful owner. Some items are auctioned off in support of the charity, but the rest were available for employees to claim after a period. “The minute we found out about employees getting things back for themselves we ceased that,” said Manconi.

City can improve on whistleblowing: auditor

Cancelled bus notifications posted too late for value

City to create ethics overseer position

The second OC Transpo issue in the auditor general’s report was the transit service’s inefficient and sometimes ineffective cancellation notifications system. OC Transpo uses its website or Twitter account to alert passengers of cancellations of any of the routes across the city. During a survey period between May 1 and 15, 2014, found the notification of a cancelled route would arrive late a third of the time. Thirty-three per cent of cancelled

emma.jackson@metroland.com

One in five city employees fear the consequences of blowing the whistle on a rule-breaking colleague, and about the same amount think some employees get preferential treatment over others, according to an audit of the city’s ethics culture. Auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report on March 12, issuing 39 recommendations on how to improve in the areas of ethics, information technology governance, notification of bus cancellations, environmental assessment processes

aren’t regular conversations about ethics in the workplace, and 18 per cent had some unfavourable perceptions of their manager’s ethics. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said the fear of consequences is especially problematic. “One in five is too high,” he said. “(We need) very, very clear messaging on the importance of the whistleblower function, and the fact that any reprisals or any consequences of somebody in good faith telling management about a concern they have will not be tolerated.” Hughes made eight recommendations, including the creation of a new full-time position responsible for ethics review and communication at the city. Management said the new ethics employee would likely work out of the city clerk’s office.

routes would send out its alert after the cancelled bus was already supposed to have arrived. “I think the purpose of the notification system is to allow people to change their plans and give them enough time to make alternate arrangements,” said Hughes. “If that notification comes one-minute or 20minutes after the bus was suppose to arrive then it is of little value.” Management accepted all 39 recommendations tabled in the 2013 report, including seven relating to the sole-source contract and two on the notification system.

and managing service contracts. He also tabled six recommendations relating to two reviews of tips that came into the fraud and waste hotline. The audit that seemed most troubling to city managers – and which they vowed to address – concerned the city’s ethics culture. An internal survey to the city’s 17,262 employees received 2,829 responses and found the city’s ethics culture is generally strong. Most employees felt their supervisors and colleagues act ethically on the job, and 84 per cent said they’ve read the code of conduct. But Hughes said there were hesitations when it came to tattling on colleagues or superiors who violated the code, and one quarter of employees are not sure who to talk to about an ethical dilemma. As much as one third said there

Due process skipped in soccer field purchase: auditor Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s auditor general said the city’s purchase of George Nelms Sports Park in Manotick didn’t have the proper real estate appraisals when council approved the $1.3 million purchase in 2010. Auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report on March 12, outlining the results of his audits of several city departments and programs, as well as two calls to the city’s fraud and waste hotline. One of those reviews considered whether the city followed its own rules when it bought the Ottawa South United soccer fields on Mitch Owens Road. Council approved the purchase of 32 acres of land from Centaurus Partnership for $1.3 million plus tax, along with a sports field agreement with the Ottawa South United Soccer Association, in July 2010. Centaurus had paid $250,000 for the land in 2006, but had added two soccer fields and a parking since

then. Four more soccer fields were planned, according to parks and recreational general manager Dan Chenier. The $1.3 million price tag included $762,000 worth of improvements plus $538,000 for the land – more than double what Centaurus had paid four years earlier. In reviewing the purchase process, Hughes said the real estate department had not obtained two independent value appraisals as required by the city for any land purchases estimated at $750,000 or higher. While the city did file two appraisals, Hughes said there was overlapping information from the same source, so they weren’t truly independent. The city’s internal appraisal reused information from the seller’s submission to outline the costs of the site’s soccer field and parking improvements, he said. “Knowing that the city ignored its own policy by not getting two independent appraisals before spending $1.3 million dollars on soccer fields is not a practice that the city would like to continue,”

Hughes said. Chenier said staff on the file didn’t realize the improvements counted as part of the land purchase price, adding that using Centaurus’ cost analysis saved the city from having to hire a consultant to do the same work. INACCURATE AND INCOMPLETE

The auditor said the purchase report to council was also missing vital information – most notably, the fact that some members of Centaurus were also the sitting president, vice-president and treasurer of the soccer association at the time of the sale, even as the city was negotiating an agreement with OSU to share access and maintenance of the fields. No conflict of interest was reported at the time. The sale also included inaccuracies, Hughes said, as the purchase report said there were no tax receipts issued for a $250,000 donation made to the city for the development of a clubhouse. In fact, tax receipts were issued in November, Hughes said.

Canal closes to skaters after record season alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Rideau Canal has closed to skaters, ending a record-breaking season that saw 59 consecutive days

of skating. The public rink’s last skaters left the ice shortly before 10 p.m. on March 8, as the National Capital Commission shuttered the 7.8-kilometre skateway.

GET INVOLVED! The Ottawa Public Library is holding initial discussions on a Central Library in Ottawa. The public is invited to provide input into the spaces and services of the future building.

The previous record of 46 consecutive days of skating was set in 2003-04 and the average number of days the canal has been open over the last five years was 42. While the cold temperatures kept the canal open for longer, they may have also driven some visitors away. The canal welcomed one million visitors this year, which fell short of last year’s 1.2 million. It also saw an average 17,000 skaters a day, down

from more than 21,000 last year. “That’s because of the frigid temperatures, but people still bundled up and came out,” Leduc said. The NCC, which has maintained the canal since 1970, said that despite the long season, the cost of maintaining the ice this year was within its allocated budget of $1.7 million. The NCC anticipated the skating season would start in January and finish at the end of February, Leduc said.

The 2014-2015 skating season smashed the canal’s previous record of 46 consecutive days, thanks mainly to the frigid temperatures that have plagued Ottawa this winter, said NCC spokeswoman Jasmine Leduc. “The cold temperatures were very positive on the ice quality,” she said. “It was a winning formula this year. We had ideal weather conditions and more than 40 years of ice maintenance expertise.” Ottawa saw temperatures that dipped below -20 C on more than 30 days this winter. The city’s unrelenting frigid temperatures even gave it the moniker of the world’s coldest capital on certain days. Whenever temperatures rise above 0 C or there is significant rain or snow fall, the NCC typically has to close the skateway to preserve the quality of the ice. The fact that temperatures rarely rose above -13 C this winter meant the quality of the ice never deteriorated to that point. “That’s really the difference this year – the weather didn’t fluctuate as much,” Leduc said. Ideally, the NCC’s ice maintenance team needs temperatures around -10 C to flood the ice at night

Ottawa Grassroots Festival looks to bridge French-English gap Old Man Luedecke to headline four-day music festival Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Grassroots Festival is introducing a franco-Ontario night to this year’s festivities to try to promote collaboration between French and English speaking musi-

cians. The festival’s founder, Bob Nesbitt, said he has wanted to do something to bridge a gap between francophone and anglophone musicians in Ontario for a couple years. “It’s an attempt to lower the barriers between the two solitudes,” he said. “I want this to be the start of a sharing. There’s a lot of great music on both sides.” Nesbitt said there are too many marvelous musicians in each camp who do not speak to each other. “The idea of two solitudes in Ot-

tawa has bugged me for years,” he said. The festival, which is entering its fourth year, announced its full line up at a launch party on March 11. Among the headliners are Old Man Luedecke and Connie Kaldor. Old Man Luedecke, who will be playing on April 24, is a two-time Juno Award-winning singer and banjo player from Chester, N.S. Stef Paquette and Eric Dubeau will headline the franco-Ontario event, on April 23, after Sarah Bradley opens the festival’s first night.

The volunteer-run festival has also launched a video initiative called the “Soundtrack Showcase,” that invites people to put their own music, spoken word or poetry to a three-minute video compilation of the event’s last three years. “This is not a contest, as there are no winners or losers,” said Trish Murray, the festival’s volunteer coordinator. “Our aim is to encourage creativity. It’s open to all ages and crosscultural. Add your original music, spoken word, poetry, jingle, remix or any other audio track you are in-

spired to create and have the rights to use to our video.” The video can be found at the festival’s website and submissions will be displayed at his year’s event, which will be capped by two days of free music and family workshops and activities. The festival is set to kick off the evening of April 23 at the Montgomery branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, at 330 Kent St., and will run through to April 26.

The axing of 40 to 50 jobs at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will impact patient services despite assurances from hospital administrators that beds and clinics won’t be closed, says one of three union officials representing employees at the hospital. CHEO announced March 11 it expects to reduce approximately two to three per cent of its 1,750-member workforce across all of its departments to make up for a $6.7-million shortfall in its $243-million annual budget, a funding gap which administrators said was brought on by funding “pressures” from the provincial government. The majority of the cuts will be done through attrition, voluntary retirement and attrition, said Eva Schacherl, CHEO spokeswoman, adding that no notices have been given and job reductions will likely be implemented this summer. “This is not going to mean closing clinics. There will be no closing of beds,” she said. “There will be no increase in wait time or a reduction of access to services for families and patients.” Regardless of how positions are eliminated, patient care will be impacted, said David Lundy, regional vicepresident of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, which represents 861 full- and part-time CHEO employees, ranging from physiotherapists and laboratory and X-ray technologists to audiologists and speech pathologists. “There’s no way around it,” he said. “Any time you’re eliminating positions, whether there’s people filling those positions currently or not, those positions weren’t created simply on a whim.” They provide important health-care services, “and when you cut services, you can’t help but impact a patient, in this case the sick children that need treatment at CHEO,” Lundy said. Hospitals across the province are expected to make similar announcements echoing CHEO’s decision to scale back its pool of employees due to the provincial government’s “long-term, slow strangulation

of public health-care services,” Lundy said. “It is a crisis,” he said. “We expect there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of positions that will be eliminated across Ontario in our hospitals in our health-care system this year and into next year.” CHEO said its core funding has been frozen or reduced annually since 2012, but has worked around this by scaling back its administrative overhead. Despite its efforts, the hospital is facing rising operational costs and is feeling the burden of increasing inflationary costs, such as electricity bills and equipment and drug expenses. Nor will CHEO be seeing any additional provincial dollars to offset the cost of centrally negotiated salary increases, which are as much as 1.4 per cent for unionized employees, Schacherl said. To balance its 2015-16 budget, the hospital will implement more than 100 costsaving measures in the coming months, from identifying greater efficiencies to reducing staff and operational costs, such as reducing its printing and use of paper. More than half of these will be done in the coming months in non-clinical areas of the hospital, such as administrative services, human resources, finance and communications, but not directly in clinics or at hospital bedsides, Schacherl said. By getting creative and keeping its overhead costs lower than other hospitals in the region and growing its revenue stream in entrepreneurial ways, CHEO has been able to hold off on eliminating jobs, Schacherl said, noting that, in fact, the hospital added 82 clinical positions, including doctors and nurses, within the last three years. “I know that we haven’t looked at layoffs for a number of decades. Apparently the last time there was a significant issue of job reduction, like there is today, was in the 1990s,” she said. “We’ve delayed this day, really, but I think it’s something that we’ve been working at finding efficiencies and finding different ways to do our work within our resources for several years.”

TD Place launches competition for anthem singers Winners to perform O Canada at RedBlacks games Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

participate in a two-part audition for the chance to perform the anthem at home games. In the first round, candidates will have to film themselves singing O Canada and post the video online. Candidates will then have to register by sending an email to anthem@tdplace.ca with their name, email address, telephone number, experience and a link to their audition video. A number of singers will then be chosen to advance to the next round, which will be a live audition on March 25. “We have about 60 game

nights and days where we need an anthem singer and it’s a big commitment for one individual so we want to create a roster of singers to draw from,” said Sharena Campo of OSEG. The chosen singers that will make up the roster will not be paid, but will receive free tickets to the game they perform at, Campo said. OSEG released a set of guidelines for singers to follow when they perform the anthem. These included the duration of the anthem, which should be between 70 and 80 seconds, and that the song is

“performed with enthusiasm and spirit.” “We really want singers to stick to the traditional way of the national anthem,” Campo said. “If you can stick to that, that’s what we want to hear.” The anthem must also be sung in both English and French, alternating between the two. Singers are not to “deviate from the standard melody,” or to “improvise or make changes to the words of the national anthem in any manner.” The guidelines also instruct singers not to chew gum dur-

Ever dreamed of belting out the national anthem in front of thousands of people? Now could be your chance. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the group that operates TD Place Stadium, has launched a search

to find singers to perform the national anthem at RedBlacks, Fury and 67’s games. “We’re hoping to build a roster of quality singers that we can mix and match over each team’s season,” said Paul Prose, the game producer for the three teams. “Anyone can audition, but we do hope that singers try to keep their renditions of the anthem fairly traditional since the national anthem belongs to all Canadians, not just the one individual singing it.” OSEG invited singers in the Ottawa-Gatineau region to

ing performances and to “dress appropriately.” Candidates must be over the age of 18, or have consent from a parent. This is the first year OSEG has held open tryouts for anthem singers, as last year auditions were by invitation only. Campo said OSEG is not planning to replace Staff Sgt. Brad Hampson, of the Ottawa police department, who sang the anthem at RedBlacks games last season. The group is just looking to add some singers to their roster as options, she said.

City mulls parking ban changes Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

As the city faces a potential $11million shortfall in its winter maintenance pot, planners in the roads department are gearing up for a shake-down of how they keep Ottawa’s roads clear of ice and snow. Roads services manager Luc Gagné said his department is hoping to hold public consultations to talk about the road clearing system later this spring – likely May or June. The most contentious issue on the table will likely be the city’s overnight parking ban, a system Gagné admitted is not working as well as it could. The parking ban comes into effect whenever Environment Canada predicts a snow accumulation of seven centimetres or more overnight. Vehicles are not allowed to park on the roads between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. unless the owner has a valid on-street parking permit. But here’s the rub: between November 2014 and March 2015, the city issued nearly 1,400 on-street parking permits. That’s 1,400 cars the plows had to work around when trying to clear heavy snowfalls off

the streets during the six parking bans the city has enforced so far this winter. And those are just the legally parked cars; bylaw officers also wrote 12,032 tickets for parking ban infractions during that time. Having that many cars on the streets can make it nearly impossible to get the job done, Gagné said, especially if they’re clustered together in one neighbourhood. “Obviously it takes a little bit of the efficiency out of plowing the streets,” he said. “If you had a street with no parked cars, we could go right down the street, we could hug the curb. But once a car’s there it makes it much more difficult to manoeuvre around.” Clearing crews report the particularly bad streets so teams can come back the next day and hopefully clear away some of the gaps once the cars have left for the day. But it’s rarely as easy as that. “The danger is you get a warmer temperature like -5 C, and then it drops down to -25 and all that surface material where the car was parked is hard as rock,” Gagné said. “All of a sudden you’re dealing with this big block of ice (and) it becomes

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC N. W O D U O CHAIN Y

very, very time consuming. You almost need a different piece of equipment.” PUBLIC’S IDEAS

The public consultations will consider ways to limit the number of cars left on the street during parking bans, including the possibility of having city-owned facilities offer up their parking lots overnight. Another possible solution is enforcing a rolling ban, one with fluctuating ban times depending on the snowfall’s arrival. Right now if snow is scheduled to fall throughout the day, removal crews don’t get the benefit of a ban – they just plow around parked cars as best they can. A rolling ban could have its benefits, Gagné said, but needs to be weighed against any negative impacts, too. For example, “Downtown where there’s a lot of activity and a lot of tourism, it wouldn’t be fair to the businesses in the (ByWard) Market to have a parking ban at 7 p.m.,” Gagné said. “That’s the dilemma we’re in.” He said the department hopes to bring solutions forward to the trans-

portation committee in the fall, so changes can be implemented for the 2015-16 season. AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

The city’s winter maintenance costs skyrocketed in January and February, councillors heard during budget deliberations. Right now the city’s winter maintenance costs are $11 million more than projected. While Ottawa didn’t get the volume of snow seen in 2013-14, the record-breaking cold temperatures caused their own problems – including costs stemming from the fact that the city’s road salt is only effective to -18 C. The snow the city did get this winter also fell in many small batches rather than a few big dumps, forcing crews onto the roads 33 days in the first two months of the year – more days on than off, in other words. That used up a lot of work hours and material, according to city treasurer Marian Simulik. “You’d clear the roads, you’d salt, and 24 hours later you’d be clearing the roads and salting again,” Simulik said. The winter maintenance review will likely put everything on the table, including the level of service residents can expect – and if that should change in the interest of saving money.

Simulik suggested the assessment could prompt changes to base funding – the amount needed to cover contract obligations, equipment maintenance and other basic costs – and trigger “ways to curtail the spending by changing the standard or even changing how we deliver the service,” she told council. According to Gagné, crews currently start clearing major roads as soon as a winter storm begins, while residential areas can expect to see plows after seven centimetres have accumulated. If only eight or nine cm of snow is predicted, crews might wait until the storm passes, Gagné noted, and a larger storm of 15 cm or more would be split into two passes. Contrary to popular belief – particularly among rural residents - Gagné said crews hit each part of the city at the same time. “If we deploy at 7 a.m., we deploy a unit to those (rural) areas just like we would to Kanata or Orléans,” he said. The rural areas do take longer to finish because streets and villages are spread farther apart. “But it’s not going to be hours or a half a day later than Orleans.” Of course, when each road clearing route is a 10- or 12-hour job, some residential streets are going to be done a lot later than others, Gagné said. “Unfortunately someone’s first and someone’s last.”

City approves budget, two per cent tax hike Strategic initiatives process underway to carve up $37.4 million by July Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

City councillors approved their 2015 operating and capital budgets on March 11, formalizing a two per cent residential property tax increase, an average 2.5 per cent transit fare increase and a six-per-cent hike in water and sewage rates. That translates into about $67 extra on urban property taxes and $55 for rural households, plus an added $48 per household in added water and sewer bills. The overall tax increase is 1.75 per cent, the lowest in

Transit users will absorb an average 2.5 per cent fare increase this year now that the city has passed its 2015 budget. eight years. But for community groups, organizations and project leads holding out for a piece of the $37.4 million pot of undesignated money that’s been set aside for strategic initiatives, it could already be too late. “Staff have developed how

we would recommend those funding envelopes ... be applied,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. As it’s a new term of council, the councillors still haven’t set their top priorities for the next four years. Not wanting to pass a budget without those

priorities properly covered off, staff set aside $32 million for capital projects and $5.4 million for operating expenditures to be carved out after the budget is in place. Staff drafted a list of council priorities for the next four years – from addressing homelessness to improving transit to cleaning up the Ottawa River – based on last term’s priorities, election campaigns and developing issues like gang violence. Kirkpatrick said the heads of the council’s standing committees will meet with staff in April to talk about their priorities, and then they’ll get the first crack at making changes to the mini budget that he said has already been laid out. “They will look at the draft that staff has developed for their consideration and make changes in terms of what they would like to recommend to council as a whole,” Kirkpat-

Snow clearing budget $11M ahead of schedule: treasurer The city’s snow removal costs are already $11 million ahead of where they should be to make it to the end of 2015 – and it’s only March. City treasurer Marian Simulik told councillors on March 11 that as of the end of February, the city’s $57.6 million snow removal budget was trending towards a deficit for the second year in a row due to record-setting weather. “Because of the extreme cold, the amount of salt that we were putting down and the amount of grit was significantly more than previous years,” Simulik said. That was compounded by the fact that Ottawa had 33 snowfall days in January and February (up from 24 during that time last year), meaning road crews had to redo all their work every second day. “You’d clear the roads,

you’d salt, and 24 hours later you’d be clearing the roads and salting again,” Simulik said. Council approved a motion to put an extra $2 million in property tax revenue into the city’s winter maintenance reserve fund. The extra money comes from a discrepancy in the draft budget’s property tax revenue assumptions and actual growth in housing values. The 2015 property tax growth will actually be 1.9 per cent, not 1.75 – putting an extra $2 million in the city’s coffers. Simulik said the winter maintenance reserve is a weak spot with only $2.1 million available – not enough by a long shot if the city does end up with a large snow removal overrun. “I know you’re not going to have enough in the winter maintenance reserve

rick said. The public will be able to have its say during committee meetings in June before the strategic initiatives plan goes to council in July. Staff were on hand at the special council meeting on March 11 to help clarify and direct debate on specific issues, but the budget passed without any new amendments, as most of that work was done in council committees in February and early March. Council also approved the Ottawa Public Library, Ottawa Police Services and Ottawa Board of Health budgets the same day. As delegations from the public weren’t allowed, the meeting progressed quickly with some debate and comments arising particularly around the transit fare increase, which some councillors – particularly Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper – said will harm the city’s most

vulnerable residents. But the biggest controversy of the meeting came at the very end, when rookie River Coun. Riley Brockington presented a motion to conduct a councillor survey on how the budget process might be improved going into 2016. Given that it’s a condensed year – last fall’s municipal election pushed the budget process back three months – staff will jump into next year’s budget process right away, likely presenting their 2016 budget direction to the finance and economic development committee in June. That leaves only about a month to conduct the councillor survey and still give staff enough time to analyze the results and work them into their 2016 plans, city treasurer Marian Simulik said. In the end, the motion was approved after an hour of procedural back-and-forth.

to cover the deficit if winter trends continue the way it is,” she told council. “It’s based basically on risk: where’s your biggest risk? That’s where it is, so that’s why we’re recommending it.” This year’s situation is trickier than 2014, when the $14 million snow removal deficit was paid off largely by one-time revenues: some contingency money for the legal dispute with Orgaworld, an addition payment from Hydro Ottawa, extra money from the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation and a few reduced operational expenses. “(We know) that we’re not going to get most of those one-time revenues again in 2015,” Simulik said. She said anything the winter maintenance reserve doesn’t cover will come out of the general capital reserve.

Herongate tenants rally for strict housing bylaw, landlord penalties Bug infestations, water shut offs, long repair wait times top tenant concerns Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jamie Gartshore’s problems with her Herongate apartment began the day she and her boyfriend moved in last October. First, the rental unit wasn’t ready for occupancy on move in day. Then young couple had barely settled into their new place when they discovered a bed-bug infestation that was finally corrected after several rounds of spraying. Today, their kitchen continues to crawl with cockroaches. “Every night I see about three or four on the wall, and I kill them. But every night they just come back,” said Gartshore, who joined members and supporters of the Association of Community Organiza-

tions for Reform Now, known as ACORN, to rally in Herongate on March 11 for measures they say would improve quality of life for tenants. Armed with flags, a large banner, a bullhorn and loud voices, the group marched along Cedarwood Drive to the office of Timbercreek Communities, the largest rental landlord in the neighbourhood. Their peaceful event was designed to call attention to their housing woes and the need for a strict municipal bylaw that would force landlords to fulfill urgent housing repairs in a timely manner and levy penalties against those who are negligent. Gartshore’s list of complaints is long. She and her boyfriend, who welcomed their first baby two months ago, have been forced to endure emergency water shutoffs due to leaks in their Baycrest Drive high-rise building, which she said are often done without advance notice. That means Gertshore’s

partner can’t shower before heading off to work, and her ability to feed their son his bottles has been impacted. “I’ve woken up multiple times within a month and the water’s been shut off and they haven’t given notices,” Gertshore said of the problem which still persists despite her numerous complaints. “I woke up one morning and the water was shut off completely and I didn’t have any bottles made, so I couldn’t wash my bottles at all.” Mavis Finnamore, co-chair of the Ottawa South ACORN chapter, said the issue of water shut offs have been raised during tenants meetings, prompting her to seek answers from Timbercreek. “A lot of times there’s a communication problem,” said Finnamore, who has lived in her Herongate rental property since 1983. “Tenants don’t always know what’s going on.” The Kourier-Standard attempted to reach Timbercreek Communities for comment multiple times but the company did not respond by press

Holding a sign demanding change, Overbrook resident Rev. Frances Deverell, a Unitarian Universalist minister and member of citizen-based advocacy group, Acorn, left, looks on as ACORN Ottawa South chapter co-chair and Herongate resident Mavis Finnamore speaks into a megaphone during a rally in Herongate on March 11 demanding a municipal bylaw forcing landlords to repair rental properties in a timely manner or face penalties. time. Other tenants have complained they were given short notice prior to getting their patio doors replaced this winter. “What if you’re depending on (disability payments)? Where are they going to go?” Finnamore said, concerned about such a lengthy job being done during the cold winter months when, in fact, she believes the work should take place in the summer. Like the dozen people who gathered during the small rally, Gartshore said there should be rules in place that make rental property owners meet their obligations to tenants as soon as possible. “I just really want them to step up and get the work done that we ask them to do,” she said of her landlord, Timbercreek. “And if they can’t get it done, to just to give us a timeframe or at least tell us that they can’t do it so that we’re not sitting around waiting.” Tired of complaining and waiting, Gartshore and her boyfriend have made a decision they hope will give them peace of mind come September when their lease is up. “We’re definitely moving for sure,” she said, though they

haven’t decided where. But for John Redins, who has lived in one of Timbercreek’s high-rise apartments on Cedarwood Drive for almost 10 years, he said he doesn’t have the financial means to relocate. The ACORN-area leader said tenants have been impacted by the frequent turnover of landlord companies in the community over the years. “We’re caught in the middle of that issue,” Redins said. The garbage bins in his building are not regularly emptied, and he said the units are infested with cockroaches and bed bugs, but that sprayings are done piecemeal, on a unit basis, which only drives the insects to neighbouring units. When asked if the bugs are still a problem even after his unit was sprayed three times so far this year, Redins, who is the federal Green party candidate in Ottawa South, rolled back his shirt sleeves to reveal small red sores, which he said are bites. “This is a problem, a big problem,” Finnamore said of the infestation. “You’re not allowed to withhold your rent. You have no other way of

getting another location and you’re stuck living with bed bugs.” Despite frequent meetings with the landlord, tenants are getting nowhere, Redins said. “We’ve got to get tougher with landlords in this city,” he said. George Brown, a Mooney’s Bay Park lawyer who has provided Ottawa ACORN with pro bono legal advice since 2012, has gone to tenantlandlord meetings and understands why residents are so frustrated. “We hear all the nice words and then the same stuff keeps happening over and over again,” he said. For that reason, Brown said stronger bylaw are needed in Ottawa that impose time limits on serious housing repairs, to address such issues as heating problems and infestations, similar to municipal regulations already in place in Toronto. The only recourse tenants have in challenging negligent landlords, he said, is to take their complaints to the Landlord and Tenant Board, which is responsible for resolving disputes under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. That can often involve a costly and labour-intensive process. “That shouldn’t be like that,” Brown said. “We’ve got to make it simpler to get property standards enforced.”

y name is Patrick Longchamps and I’ve lived here in Ottawa my whole life. For the next six weeks I’m interning at Metroland Media as a journalist from Algonquin College. The idea of writing has always been important and so I jumped into journalism. This was to write and reduce the social nervousness that I have lived with my whole life. Reading the paper I’ve always been drawn to the local news, so when given the chance to work at Metroland I was all in. Being able to work for so many different papers all under one roof was a major bonus. I’ve had some interesting jobs, including: kitchen staff, construction, personal assistant, retail and pizza delivery. This is to say that I have been around all types of people and have an interesting personality because of it. During my education I learned about fine arts, cooking and now journalism. Looking at all those career paths, it would seem that I like making it hard to find a job in the future. My mom always said, “Do what you love, it’s the only thing that is important in life.” During my time studying art, I always had the idea that photography wasn’t for me and so I avoided learning it.

MP, stays mum on future Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

John Baird was set to step down as MP of Ottawa West-Nepean on March 16. “After 20 great years representing my community I will be stepping down as MP on March 16. It has been an honour to serve,” Baird tweeted on March 11. The former foreign affairs minister suddenly resigned from cabinet in February, saying he would not seek re-election. At the time, his office told Metroland Media he was exploring opportunities in the private sector. Baird, 45, has been in public life for 20 years, serving as an MPP in the provincial legislature, before making the jump to federal politics in 2006. Before he became foreign affairs minister, Baird served in a number of cabinet portfolios including president of the Treasury Board and environment minister. With Baird’s departure, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has lost one of his most loyal

lieutenants shortly before an upcoming general election. Baird has not said why he chose to leave office months before his current term was to end. His office said the former minister felt it was just time to move on. “He felt it was a good time to depart. He had been in politics for a very long time,” said spokesman Patrick Osland. “He was also a troubled by the death of his dear friend Jim Flaherty.” Osland was not able to say what the future would hold for Baird, and said the MP was not providing interviews. Before announcing his resignation, Baird committed to running in the new riding of Nepean, which is being partially carved out of MP Pierre Poilievre’s current territory. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod briefly toyed with the idea of running in the riding before deciding to stay in provincial politics. Baird was also the regional minister in charge of the National Capital Commission, a post that Poilievre was given in a recent cabinet shuffle.

Gone green

Brier Dodge/Metroland

LEFT: It’s easy being green for this bike rider, who is both decked out in St. Patrick’s Day garb and environmentally conscious while cycling in the 2015 St. Patrick’s Day parade on March 14. TOP RIGHT: – A young boy waves from aboard a float during the parade. There were floats, dancers and music all along Laurier Street as the parade kicked off. Volunteers also collected food for the Ottawa Food Bank along the route.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death.

She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

Strength and rhythm

A group of rhythmic gymnasts from various clubs perform their Four Seasons routine at the Kanata Cup on March 14. This summer, the Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club will take the gymnasts, who are from Kanata, Nepean and Barrhaven, to the Gymstrada festival in Finland. The athletes, a mix of interclub and provincial level competitors, qualified in Calgary for the Gymstrada.

Legacy of Mother Élisabeth Bruyère Continues to Grow.

It is a cold January night. A woman is stranded in a parking lot in west-end Ottawa. She is sure her car has been stolen. Going to a payphone, she calls home asking her husband for help. Her husband calls their son and within half an hour they are circling the parking lot in ever-widening circles. It takes a while but eventually they find the car parked in the furthest corner of the lot. It doesn’t make any sense. Why is the car way over there? Why can’t she remember the long walk across the cold pavement? How long was she in the store? The last couple of hours vanished into thin air. It is a night her son will never forget. Unfortunately, it is one she will never remember. It was a warning signal, but the signs were ignored, brushed under the carpet by the entire family. “It was just a senior’s moment.” Today she is in the full throes of dementia. Happy in her own way, but miles away from the woman, mother and wife she was just five years earlier. Did it have to be this way? Maybe. Is help available? Definitely.

1970: Spending time with her son. BRUYÈRE CONTINUING CARE The Bruyère Memory Program is just one of many programs designed to help seniors in Ottawa and throughout the valley. It is there to help diagnose early signs of dementia in the hopes of staving off the effects of this debilitating – and costly – disease. The senior population is growing rapidly. We are all getting older. It is likely you or someone you know will need the services offered at Bruyère. Bruyère does so much for the frail, the elderly and those requiring complex care;

• Bruyère is where a young father recovers from a stroke and goes home after seven months in rehabilitation. • Bruyère is the place where patients, young and old come to recuperate from major surgery. • Bruyère is where patients receive the special kind of care their fragile bodies and fertile minds require. BRUYÈRE RESEARCH INSTITUTE At Bruyère Research Institute, researchers and physicians work tirelessly in discovery of ways to improve patient care. Their work is done locally, benefitting patients in Ottawa and around the world. CONTINUING THE LEGACY

who supports Bruyère helps others just like she did. Ottawa is such a caring community and we are proud that the name Bruyère is associated with compassionate care.” Bruyère is there for all of us. To keep people home, to get people home, to rehabilitate, to teach and to learn. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS When you support Bruyère, you are helping a woman find her car, a husband to walk again, a family to enjoy more time with their parents and you allow grandparents to enjoy more precious time with their grandchildren.

On another cold night, in the middle of February 1845, a young twenty-seven year old woman arrives in Bytown after enduring a two-day journey by horse-drawn sleigh from Montreal.

By May 1845, Mother Élisabeth Bruyère establishes Ottawa’s first hospital. Against all odds, she creates a legacy that grows strong today, 170 years later.

Break bad habits to create a better lifestyle Bad habits tend to accumulate like drops in a bucket. They are the little things we do daily that add up and ultimately impact our overall health and wellbeing. To reveal bad habits that are common today, and how to turn them around to make positive changes in our lives, Dr. Janet Tamo, a consult-

ing dentist for Crest and Oral-B, plus fitness expert, Kathleen Trotter, met recently to share their thoughts. “Inactivity throughout the day is one of the habits I see most often,” said Trotter. “Many people drive to work, search for the closest parking spot to the entrance door or sit in front of the TV for hours after sitting behind a desk all day. There are so

many quick and easy ways to integrate activity into your day without sacrificing valuable time with family and friends.” Trotter recommends integrating exercise into your routine with these examples: • Bike to work instead of driving. • If it’s safe to do so, park at the end of the parking lot and walk.

• Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator. If it’s too much, get off the elevator early and walk at least one flight. • Do some resistance exercises with an exercise band or exercise ball while watching TV. • Schedule and commit to weekly walking dates with your family or a friend.

Dr. Tamo echoes this advice when discussing oral health habits with her patients. “There are a lot of factors that contribute to having a healthy body, including exercising and eating right, but many people don’t realize that taking care of their teeth and gums can be just as important,” she said. -News Canada

Special Olympics gymnasts welcomed into Kanata Cup Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Kanata Cup was filled with rhythmic gymnasts, from the youngest age division to the oldest, proudly performing their routines that took months of work. Nothing was different for the gymnasts in the Special Olympics division, who performed their routines on the floor, one or two skipping the immediate exit from the competition area to run over to the coach on the other side of the floor to get a quick high five or a hug for a job well done. The Kanata Cup has fea-

tured the special division for several years. It isn’t much trouble to incorporate the extra division said Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club board member Cathy Smith. The Kanata club hosted the meet in Bridlewood on March 14 and 15. Ottawa Rhythmic Spirals parent and coach Maia Pudifin said it’s nice for the girls from the Special Olympics team to watch the routines in all the divisions. “It’s really the best because they learn by modelling,” she said.

She trains with her mother, as well as Spirals head coach Xinhong Jin. Lacourse-Pudifin competed at nationals, and just missed winning the national title and qualifying for the world championships this year. Two Kanata Cup gymnasts, also national team members, are preparing for the Special Olympics World Championships in the summer. They didn’t compete in the Special Olympics division, but instead were integrated later in the day with the other groups of competitors. Coach Bonnie Donovan, whose daughter Megan has been competing with the Rhythmic Cats club for 23 years, said it’s a good experience for the girls she coaches to see the competition.

Findlay Oval important during Depression years

I

t had darkened early that mid-winter day, with the sun dipping below the west hill just as we were finishing our supper. Audrey lit two coal-oil lamps, putting one in the middle of the kitchen table, and the other on the washstand that served as a place for our winter mitts, scarves and extra socks. My three brothers did the usual chores that had to be done every night after supper. Everett filled the wood box, stacking it high from the wood piled in the summer kitchen. Emerson gathered up the few scraps from the table and fed Sport, who was eagerly waiting at the back door, well aware of what was coming his way. Earl got down on his hands and knees, and pulled the big white granite basin out from under the icebox and emptied the water into the reservoir of the Findlay Oval. Audrey and I cleaned up the

MARY COOK Memories kitchen, washing the dishes, drying them with the flour-bag tea towels, rubbing the red and white checkered oilcloth, making sure it was spotlessly clean, and ready for what would be a couple hours of pastimes that kept us busy until it was time to climb the stairs for bed. It was my favourite time of day. It would be a couple hours before we would go upstairs, and the time would be spent sitting around the kitchen table, each of us doing what we liked to do best when the day was done. Mother at one end with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her, and the rest of us amusing ourselves in any way

we wished. That night I sat on the bench under the window that looked out onto the grape arbour. I could feel a draft, and so I had taken a blanket that was always folded at the end of the creton couch and wrapped it around my shoulders. Like everyone else, my feet were tucked into handmade felt slippers. And I could feel the most delicious warmth and contentment as I looked around that old kitchen. Everything was so familiar and so much a part of our everyday lives. Father had moved to the rocking chair in front of the Findlay Oval, and his feet were up on the cushion on the opened oven door. His papers were around him, and his pipe hung loosely in his mouth. That night I was content just to sit. The colouring picture from the Ottawa Farm Journal was in front of me, and so were my crayons, but I had lost interest. My attention was

on the Findlay Oval, and it was as if I was looking at it for the first time in my life. I mentally counted all the uses we had for the stove, and I wished longingly that I knew how to write, so that I could put down on paper what the old stove meant to us out there in Northcote. Of course, there was the reservoir at one end. It supplied us with all the hot water we used in the house: our Saturday night baths, the Monday washings, scrub water, and the water we had just used to wash up the dishes. And it was where, when we had a stuffed-up nose, or Mother thought we were getting a cold, we sat close, on a chair, with our heads under a sheet, breathing in the steam from the reservoir. It was the Findlay Oval that made our toast in the mornings. The tin toaster sat over the front burner that had been removed, and four slices could be toasted at one time. And it was that same burner that Mother

lifted to singe the chickens before they were stuffed and put in the oven for our Sunday supper, and that night I thought of the popcorn that was so often a treat on a cold winter’s night and made on the Findlay Oval. All along the very top of the stove was the warming closet. It was seldom used for food, because as soon as a meal was cooked, we were more than ready to sit around the old pine table and dig into it. But it was a wonderful place to dry wet mitts, or heat a towel to wrap around a wet body after our Saturday night bath. Always, and that night it was no different, Father had put blocks of wood around each side of the stove, and our galoshes and rubber boots were propped against the wood to dry out over night. And I knew that when I put on my galoshes in the morning to go to school, my feet would feel that delicious heat long after I had left the house for the three-and-a-half-mile walk to the Northcote School.

In the winter time, when Mother would bring in the freshly washed laundry from the clothes line, stiff as boards and frozen solid, a wood clothes rack Father had made would be folded out before the Findlay Oval, and that night, even though it wasn’t a wash day, I felt I could smell the sweetness of those frozen clothes that seemed to go right through the house as the clothes dried from the heat of the stove. And of course, it provided us with the only warmth we would have, with its pipes snaking through the kitchen and poking through the floor upstairs.   That night how I wished I could write so that I could put down on paper all that the Findlay Oval meant to us during those Depression years. It would take me forever to print the words. I guessed I would just have to rely on my memory.

are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year. Attendance at a summer camp teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident. We are convinced that it is critical for children to be involved in structured activities during the summer months. A well-run camp programme provides the child with learning experiences that are not possible in a traditional classroom. Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true participation in a

safe environment. While at camp children learn about living, working, and playing together and making positive

contributions to their community. They acquire first hand multi-sensory knowledge of the natural world. Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into

a healthy, physically fit and productive adult. At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives. The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have experienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities. In our technological society which encourages passive forms of entertainment rather than active involvement, summer camp provides a unique opportunity for children to experience a different way to play. Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds. Submitted by 5 Star Camps

More reasons why every child should go to camp Camps Canada

Camp is a place where positive memories are made that last a lifetime If adults that have attended summer camps as children are asked what their fondest childhood memories are, it is often found that they recollect and share their camp memories. Camp memories are created every year because of the great experiences shared by campers while at camp but more importantly because of the other campers and staff who share those experiences together with them. Long after campers “graduate” from the camp experience, after they say that last goodbye on the last day of their last year at camp, they fondly recall the cabin-mates and counsellors that provided them with the activities they experienced every summer.

meaningful

The camp environment, free from the regimented systems of many other learning environments, is in fact a place where children learn… but in a way that is comfortable and meaningful, and whose lessons are arguably the most important a child will be taught in their entire life. • Camp is a place where strong relationships are formed Although no formal study has been done, there is an oft used statistic kicked around by camp directors these days.

Many of us have observed that many of the weddings we are being invited to are between campers that attended our camps decades prior and that the frequency of divorces in these marriages are staggeringly low. Now this can be a very unnerving thought for first time camp parents sending their little six year old off to day camp for the first time but it does illustrate a very important point: it appears that as a result of the depth of experience of attending summer camp, the relationships formed there are stronger and more meaningful than most others formed in a child’s lifespan. This is not to say that parents should send their children to camp in hopes of them finding a spouse! However, when children play together, laugh together, are challenged together, sing together, and live together, what ends up happening is that they grow together and with that grow closer to one another learning the values of friendship and community in a way that cannot be duplicated in other summer settings.

• Camp is place where “lifelong learnables” are learned In this age of hockey practices, piano lessons, MCAT preps, computer courses, and math tutors, all of which can be important features in a !

child’s development, camp offers the venue to learn the “bigger” skills – the ones that can’t be learned in any classroom. Ask yourself if you feel that taking turns is a skill… how about being nice to people around you… what would you say about working as a team – is that a skill? Camp is a place where these skills and so many more are “practiced” so regularly but in a way in which campers don’t even realize this is happening.

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 activi-

ties 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.

Balance comes from different ways of learning Continued from page 55

• Camp is a place where campers enjoy the outdoors Ontario is beautiful country and nothing inspires its discovery more than the camp experience. Whether campers are hiking through forested hills, swimming in freshwater lakes, gazing at the setting sun, playing in open fields, or meeting its friendly wildlife, camp’s everyday activities often give rise for a love of this land. The direct impact of this is an evident environmental conscientiousness among

campers who learn to clean up their mess when at camp. But the larger, and equally important result is a greater social consciousness in children, and an awareness that they are a part of something bigger‌ that their actions affect others in both the short and long term. • Camp is a place where campers find balance Regardless of a particular camp focus, camp activities often balance competitive and cooperative, land and water, outside and in the shade, athletic and creative.

When we get too hot, we get a drink of water and go into the shade. When we’ve been playing a lot of team sports, we refocus on individual challenge and achievement. The concept of balance is one often spoken about, but seldom modelled for young people today. We often find ourselves commenting in front of our children how we wish we could work less, sleep more, eat better, and exercise more frequently‌ At camp, balance is practiced and as a result enjoyed by its campers.

Canadian teens need to increase their physical exercise every day for a lifetime of good health. Research from ParticipACTION, the national voice for physical activity and sport participation in Canada, shows that only four per cent of Canadian kids aged 12 to 17 get enough heart-pumping exercise on a daily basis. Are you concerned about the teens in your life? To address this growing issue, Participaction Teen Challenge, sponsored by Coca-Cola Canada, encourages teenagers to establish healthy habits for life and that includes fostering social interactions that build their confidence and self-esteem. The program helps to remove the barriers that prevent physical activity – namely cost and accessibility – providing teens with access to the equipment, facilities, instruction, or the transportation needed to get active. Teen Challenge gives community organizations in On-

tario access to micro-grants that enable this age group to get active and have fun in ways that mean something to them. The community groups work with local teens to identify needs within their neighbourhood and come up with solutions to meet them. The successes of Teen Challenge are exemplified by numerous success stories in Ontario, such as the CrossFit Club for students at Lincoln M. Alexander Secondary School in Mississauga. Kickstarted with a micro-grant in 2013, the club has doubled in size since it began. The program introduces teens to CrossFit’s all-ornothing exercise culture and gives them a chance to compete in an actual CrossFit gym competition. Focusing on providing special access, the club offers girls-only options, including a weight training club and lunchtime fitness classes for female students.

#%"( ) *# ) #

“The beauty of Teen Challenge is that it empowers our youth to be creative and come up with physical activity ideas that suit their peers, in their local neighbourhoods,� says Elio Antunes, president and CEO of Participaction. “Once teenagers get active and participate in regular physical activity, it can help them to do better in school, to grow stronger, feel happier, improve their self-confidence and learn new skills. A program of this kind can do so much good.� The Lincoln M. Alexander CrossFit Club has been able to make a significant difference in the lives of teenagers in that community, Antunes points out. It is empowering them to take control of their health. If you are a communitylevel organizer in Ontario additional information is available at www.participaction. com/teenchallenge, where you can also apply for a micro-grant.

trace its ancestry; or Prince Albert National Park north of Saskatoon or Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan—each of these parks features large herds of bison. Smaller herds can also be seen at Riding Mountain and Waterton Lakes national parks. July through September is mating season so who knows what shenanigans these enormous mammals will be up to. Watch the bulls compete for the cows and display a variety of behaviours to impress the cows and intimidate each other. During the “rut� the bulls are more aggressive and less cautious of vehicles and people. Watch and listen for behaviours including wal-

lowing, head pushing and bellowing. Allowing this bison behaviour to carry on undisturbed is important to ensure its natural life cycle is maintained in the park. Parks Canada is working to enhance bison habitat, improve bison viewing and visitor experiences in Elk Island and Prince Albert national parks and promote understanding of Parks Canada’s role in bison conservation. So slip on your cowboy boots, tighten your belt buckle and tip your Stetson for a thundering good time watching these ancient herbivores in their natural setting. You can find safety tips and planning information on the Parks Canada website at www.parks.gc.ca.

The bison are back on the Canadian Prairies after aggressive efforts to restore the herds after near extinction 100 years ago. Visiting one of their natural habitats in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba national parks, where bison now roam, is sure to delight the entire family.

There are reasons to think 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 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 repre-

sents 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. – www.newscanada.com

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 ath-

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

German favourite a twist on traditional burger These juicy, ground Ontario veal sausages are patty-shaped. Rather than being boiled as in the German original called weisswurst, they’re tucked into buns after grilling. Another popular German sausage dish called currywurst, lends its irresistible curried tomato sauce for spreading on the buns. You can also cook the burgers in a skillet with 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12 as an appetizer or six as main course. Ingredients

• 500 g (1 lb) ground veal or ground turkey • 4 slices naturally smoked bacon, very finely chopped • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored and

grated (Cortland, McIntosh or Spy) • Half a red onion, finely diced • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh parsley, coarsely chopped • 10 ml (2 tsp) Dijon mustard • 1 egg, lightly beaten • Salt and pepper Curry sauce

• 50 ml (1/4 cup) ketchup • 15 ml (1 tbsp) unsweetened applesauce • 5 ml (1 tsp) curry powder • 5 ml (1 tsp) cider vinegar • 12 small rolls or 6 large rolls • Half a red onion, thinly sliced • 6 lettuce leaves Preparation

In a bowl, combine the veal, bacon, apple, diced onion, gar-

lic, parsley, mustard, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide evenly into 6 or 12 portions, and form into patties. Place the patties on a greased grill or grill pan on medium-low heat. Close the cover and cook for five minutes. Turn and cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes, turning at least one more time, until a digital meat thermometer inserted sideways into the centre reads 71 C (160 F) for veal or 85 (185 F) for turkey. For the curry sauce, combine the ketchup, applesauce, curry powder and vinegar, and spread the mixture over the bottom half of each bun. Top with patty and serve with thinly sliced red onion and lettuce leaf. Foodland Ontario

To all our family, friends, coworkers, and community; Your expressions of sympathy, charity donations, flowers, food, gifts, babysitting our grandchildren, and visits, are so appreciated. The caring and understanding of Andre Pilon, Debbie Pierce, and staff of Pilon Family Funeral Services, were excellent. Bert’s sisters, cousins, and friends provided a delicious “wake� supper for us. Father Michael Ruddick, St. Michael’s, Fitzroy Harbour, and Father John Burchat provided a beautiful and comforting Funeral Mass. The Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women’s League, Arnprior, provided prayers of faith and solace, for our family at Bert’s wake. Our nephews; Steve Wilson, Darrell Dillon, Raymond Valiquette, Russell Gibson, Matthew Schooley, and Shawn Smith, brought pride and honour to “Uncle Bert�, when they served as his pallbearers. Our supportive and caring Galetta Community Association provided the recreation hall and a delicious lunch for his funeral reception. Bert’s journey with cancer involved excellent health care from: Dr. John Kiskis, staff of Arnprior and District Hospital, Dr. Donna Maziak, Dr. Rachel Goodwin, Dr. K. Dennis, chemo staff at Renfrew Hospital and Paramed Home Care nurse “TASMA�. When we lost Bert, the warmth and understanding of our families and community were the most respectful acknowledgement of the value of his lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to “chat� with him, in the Mall, at Tim Hortons, at his truck, or at the fence at home in Galetta. This was his “favourite� pastime.

CHEO psychologists to connect with parents at health seminar Erin McCracken

Parents and educators with questions about the health and well-being of children and youth will soon be able to find answers at Hillcrest High School. Psychologists from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, in partnership with Hillcrest High School, the school’s council and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, will present a free public seminar for parents, caregivers, service pro-

viders and educators at the school on March 24, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. “CHEO loves to reach out to the public because I think we want to be part of our community,� said Dr. Laurie Clark, a clinical psychologist at CHEO’s Centre for Healthy Active Living. “And talking about ways to foster good emotional and physical health is important, and lots of parents are interested in it.� She will join Dr. Corien Peeters, from CHEO’s eating disorders program, to speak

to parents and teachers during the seminar about fostering positive body image and attitudes toward healthy active living. It’s just one of five topics that will be discussed by six experts during the event, including understanding the childhood brain and helping your child thrive, teenage behaviour and the developing brain, mood and anxiety in children and youth, and concussions. “We like to communicate with (parents, educators and caregivers) directly to be

At the upcoming information session, Clark expects to share strategies and offer insight that can be helpful when speaking with kids and teens about weight and body image, share how they can get kids to feel comfortable talking about how they’re feeling, as well as help them love their bodies and assist them in fostering a positive relationship with nutrition. It can be daunting and challenging for caregivers to find credible information based on research and science, reason why the team of psychologists wanted to bring their expertise directly into the community. CHEO and Hillcrest held a similar seminar, but with different topics, for that reason in 2010.
