A Kanata company is sending a virtual reality simulation of the Battle of Vimy Ridge to Vimy, France to commemorate the battle’s 100th anniversary. SimWave Consulting, a virtual and augmented reality startup located in the Kanata North Business Park, developed the multi-sensory experience as an educational tool that puts participants in the heat of battle. Around 7,500 Canadian students travelling to Vimy with Education First tours for the anniversary on April 10 will have the opportunity to experience the battle in virtual reality, giving them a better appreciation of the First World War, said Matt Thomas, head of business development at SimWave.

Minto lays out next phases of Arcadia subdivision BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Minto Communities Inc. has submitted its plan to the city for the next phases of its Arcadia development in west Kanata, north of Highway 417 and opposite the Canadian Tire Centre. Work on the new phases — which includes 575 residential units as well as commercial blocks and park space on about 49 hectares of land — is scheduled to coincide with the extension of Campeau Drive. According to the proposal, “Construction timing for the subdivision will be co-ordinated with the timing of construction of the extension of Campeau Drive and bridge crossing at the Carp River.” It could take around two years before the extension is finished, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson at her town hall meeting on March 23. Minto is still working out where it will put two drainage ponds, she said, adding the

ponds are needed before work on the bridge can begin. Calls for comment from Minto were not returned. Minto’s draft plan of subdivision in the Arcadia community includes building 575 residential units broken down into:

• 320 single-family homes; • 178 townhome units; • 42 back-to-back townhouses; and • 35 rear-lane townhome units. Two parks are planned on the north and northwest edges

of the site, with three parkettes interspersed through the area. Four commercial blocks would be built south of Campeau Drive, with an additional block located immediately north of that street. The commercial area will be divided by a future Transitway corridor planned for the area. Arcadia is located near the Canadian Tire Centre and Tanger Outlets in west Kanata.

The first two phases of the subdivision, which features more than 450 residential units of varying types, have been built or are under construction. According to Minto’s website, the community is currently sold out of new homes. The builder plans to release more homes in 2018.

Kanata’s Rachel Homan wins world curling championship jing. The team had medalled twice in the past, with a bronze in 2013 and a silver in 2014, so there was no doubt what they were aiming for through the entire tournament. “My team worked so hard for this,” Homan said in a Curling Canada press release. “We’ve been at worlds now four times, and to finally bring back the gold for Canada and stop the drought, we’re pretty excited.” The team played a perfect tournament, winning all 13 of the games they played, includ-

Rachel Homan and her team have won a laundry list of titles, from Canadian champions to world junior medallists, bronze medallists, silver medallists. But there was one title the team could never claim: world champions. The rink took home the world championship title on March 26, beating Russia’s Anna Sidorova rink 8-3 at the 2017 CPT World Women’s Curling Championship in Bei-

ing the first game of the tournament against the host Chinese team. It’s the first time in the 39-year history of the women’s world championship a team has gone 13-0. “We just wanted to bring back gold for Canada, no matter how we had to do it,” said Homan, who lives in Kanata. “That’s what’s most important, and now we’re going to celebrate.” South Ottawa’s Emma Miskew said there’s been a lot of pressure on the team members, who have been curling together since they were juniors with the exception of Joanne Courtney, who replaced Alison Kreviazuk for the 2014-15 season. Lisa Weagle, who hails from West Ottawa, rounds out the team, with Kreviazuk’s sister Cheryl as the alternate. “We just wanted to go out there and keep doing what we were doing,” Miskew said. “There’s a lot of weight on that gold medal. We just went out there and put the pressure on, and got the misses we needed.” Homan said to be the ones on top of the podium, listening to the Canadian national anthem playing, was an “amazing

“Reading about something, you only retain a certain amount of information. Watching something, listening to something, you retain a certain amount of information,” he said. “Actually experiencing it with all your senses, you’re going to retain a heck of a lot more, you’re actually going to absorb a lot more information and appreciate it more. It’s a very compelling experience.” Students will learn why the battle was a historical moment for Canada and about the strategy used for the bombardment, the uniforms worn, and the weapons employed, giving them a real appreciation for the First World War, Thomas said. Inside the VR booth, the software reacts to what a user does, making the experience different for each person. Using virtual reality headsets, rumbling platforms and sensor technology, the experience stimulates a number of a user’s senses. “When there’s artillery going off around you you’re going to feel the rumbling from the artillery,” said Thomas. “We basically hit you with 360 degrees, from head to toe. We can hit you with air, bursts of wind. There’s heat, cold and smell as well.” Gunpowder, phosphine gas and mud are some of the smells participants can expect. Work on the Vimy Ridge VR project began in 2015. SimWave collaborated with the Canadian War Museum to ensure the accuracy of the experience. “SimWave wanted to commemorate the great acts of Canadian soldiers,” said the company in an email. “We have recreated these monumental moments for people to get a small glimpse into what these soldiers went through at Vimy Ridge.” The company is installing another Vimy Ridge VR experience at the Royal Canadian Regiment Museum in London, Ont. that will open on March 30. There are currently no plans for the VR experience to be available at the Canadian War Museum. SimWave also partnered with the Canada Science and Technology Museum to create a VR experience that allows a user to drive and operate an old steam train. That experience will be open to the public when the museum reopens later this year.

“It has grown substantially since the first year,” said Deborah Lovegrove, marketing and events director for the Kanata North Business Association, which hosted the event. “We are Canada’s largest tech hub,” she said. “Who doesn’t want to come and work here?” Plenty of people do, as many of the morning’s attendees came armed with resumes. The event is geared towards graduating post-secondary students and working professionals looking to switch careers. “It’s designed for them to get a view of what’s happening here,” she said. The business association was expecting about 1,500 people to come through the doors on Tuesday, with more than 1,300 people pre-registered and about 400 to 500 walk-ins anticipated. Last year’s inaugural TechNATA career fair saw 1,300 people attend and 51 companies take part. “It’s exciting to see this type of activity and the growth in Kanata north,” said Lovegrove,

OPINION

Connected to your community

Can’t get enough hockey in this town T he Stanley Cup has been sighted in Ottawa. No, the Senators haven’t yet grasped hockey’s holy grail, but the mug has been touring the town. Rideau Hall hosted the Cup during March break and the lineups to have photos taken with the famous silverware snaked through the old building’s hallways. No one seemed to mind the wait, and the hockey fans there were giddy when they reached the front of the line and got a chance to touch a piece of history. It’s a sign of the passion Ottawans feel for Stanley. The Cup also visited the site of a future permanent monument to the trophy at Sparks and Elgin streets. Some NHL greats and the Governor General were on hand to break ground at the site last week. The city’s residents and visitors will soon

be able to mug for photos with a replica of the Stanley Cup. More passion. And in the coming weeks we’ll enjoy the late-season drama of the NHL and get behind our Ottawa Senators run to the playoffs. Bars will fill up. Elgin Street will turn red – the colour of passion. After we enjoy our warmer months and the nation’s 150th birthday celebrations, we’ll be able to slap on tuques and mittens to watch those same Sens take on the rival Montreal Canadiens at TD Place. Stanley will no doubt be there on Dec. 16 too, as the first game in NHL history – played between Ottawa and Montreal in Ottawa on Dec. 19, 1917 – is celebrated a century later. It’s true, despite having just made it through one winter, many will be looking forward to the next one. Yes, we’re just a little hockey crazy.

Change for the better is possible

here are those of us who despair of current conditions. Just the other day someone contacted the CBC in Ottawa to complain about cars blocking the road while they waited to get into a drive-thru coffee place. There were parking places available, but no one wanted to get out of their car. She’s right. Obviously some people actually need the drive-thru service. The rest of us are just too lazy to care that we’re polluting the atmosphere and blocking traffic. The restaurants don’t dare stop the service.

seemed, people stopped providing ashtrays in their houses. At dinner parties, you didn’t light up without being stared at. Among adults, smoking, which was once thought of as the height of sophistication, became uncool. Among younger people, smoking retained some of its cool factor, but smoking among young people has diminished too. So the biggest factor in the smoking reduction is a change in people’s attitudes. And smoking is not the only area where that has happened. In 1966, there was no such thing as the designated driver. To give another example, in 1966 North America, there was no such thing as bottled water — at least to the extent that it has existed in recent years. Then bottled water arrived and seemed inevitable. And now it’s leaving, at least in places like this. It was cool for a while, then people started thinking about all that plastic, and about the good EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

From Crashed Ice to new housing for those in need To the editor,

Locals and Canadians from coast to coast were excited to watch the thrills and spills of the Red Bull Crashed Ice event that took place in Ottawa earlier this month. But the story’s not over. More than a one-time spectacle, the event will have a lifealtering impact for low-income families in the Ottawa region. This comes as a result of our partnership with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), a sustainability leader dedicated to the future of our forests and to promoting the responsible procurement of forest products. In order to build the structure used in the Red Bull Crashed Ice event, SFI along with SFI program participants West Fraser, LP Building Products and JD Irving, donated more than $100,000 in wood products from forests certified to the SFI standard. Further, SFI made it a condition of its donation that the wood will be reclaimed and repurposed for use by Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa (Habitat GO) and other Ottawa 2017 events. That’s where we come in. Habitat GO will use this reclaimed wood as part of a 16-townhome community development for low-income families in Orleans, the largest housing initiative that we’ve worked on to date. The Orleans development is located close to a future light rail station and will provide families

Brier Dodge/Metroland

The morning of the world finals, Red Bull Crashed Ice competitors took to the course at the Rideau Locks to give the ice a couple training runs. The competitors trained on March 4 before putting on a show for the crowd that evening. Crashed Ice drew huge crowds on both March 4 for the senior men and women, and on March 3 for the junior competitors. It’s the first time the competition has made it’s way to Ottawa. in need of affordable housing with excellent transportation access. We think it’s a strong feature of the SFI wood donation that it is to be used in this multi-family residence for the benefit of families in need, including a young indigenous family. SFI has been a multi-year supporter of Habitat for Humanity Canada’s Indigenous Housing Program, and the national leadership of both organizations is committed to strengthening even further our connections on multiple levels.

I know that Kathy Abusow, the CEO of SFI, and Mark Rodgers, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada, are excited about jointly approaching the organizers of future Red Bull Crashed Ice events around the world and using this precedent that SFI has set in Ottawa to make a case for the reuse of wood in future Red Bull events for other Habitat for Humanity builds the world over. Recovered wood that is not used on the Orleans project nor on other Ottawa 2017 projects will be sold to the public through

our ReStore, a social enterprise that helps us raise money for Habitat GO’s operations and new building projects. Eligible Habitat for Humanity partner families are carefully screened to ensure they meet the qualifications of our home ownership program. The families then work alongside volunteers to build their homes and they pay a long-term, no-interest mortgage, which enhances their pride of ownership. And it’s working. In fact, Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project has already exceeded its goal this year, by a substantial margin, of building 150 homes across the country in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. Habitat GO is planning additional builds in Ottawa on the same build site this year, including one focused squarely on building affordable housing for indigenous families and another where Canadian military volunteers will help us construct a new home. We’ll also be celebrating our Orleans housing development with a neighbourhood block party on July 9. It seems our work has a positive impact on everyone, from participating families to sponsors to the people who help with construction. Every time one of our volunteers passes a home that he or she helped build, they recall the experience of raising a wall or installing a floor joist, of providing a hand up, not a hand out, to a family in need of affordable housing. That’s why we’re truly grateful to all the volunteers, sponsors and donors who continue to make our work possible. It’s thanks to individuals, corporations and organizations like SFI that we can continue to provide well-built, quality homes and help families build strength, stability and independence.

I’m suggesting that the driver’s license be modified with a small yellow stripe bearing the word ‘Veteran’. The same would go for Ontario Identification Cards for those who don’t have a driver’s license. This modification will be optional, of course, and it would be an easy and inexpensive way to recognize Veterans in our province. The benefits of the Honouring our Veterans Act are many, whether proving years of service in the military to secure a new job, or so that our first responders can know right away that they are helping a Veteran in need. Businesses may be open to using this identification to provide specific products or services to Veterans, and may even go so far as to offer them discounts. The simple justification for the Honouring our Veterans Act is this: Veterans served on our behalf in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. They return home and hand in their equipment. But they don’t forget about their service, and neither should we. It’s time to list Veteran on their government identification. My Bill will be debated in the Ontario legislature on March 30th.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Farmers on the Hill Breakfast

I had the pleasure of hosting, alongside the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAuley, farmers from across Ontario and Quebec at the 2017 Farmers on the Hill Breakfast. The breakfast was a great opportunity to thank the farmers for the job they do every day across our country. As I have said on many occasions, if you like to eat, thank a farmer.

University of Toronto Women in House

I once again had the pleasure of sharing my experience with one of Canada’s bright young women as part of the University of Toronto’s “Women in House” parliament shadow program. This time I had the great opportunity of having an inspiring and motivated student, Claire Robbins, as a shadow. I was also delighted in having the opportunity to speak to all the young ladies attending the reception the previous evening.

Hockey Celebrations in the Nation’s Capital

Over the past week, I had the opportunity of attending, on two separate occasions, events related to our nation’s love of hockey. At the first event, I had the pleasure of representing the Honourable Minister of Heritage, Mélanie Joly, at the 125th anniversary celebration of the Stanley Cup at the Canadian Tire Centre. Among the NHL alumni invited to the event included some of the greatest names to ever lace up the skates; including Guy Lafleur, Frank Mahovlich, and Dave Keon. I also had an opportunity to represent the city of Ottawa at the Rogers Hometown Hockey event taking place at the Canal Ritz. It was wonderful to meet and chat with Ron MacLean and Tara Slone. The Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour has been making stops in communities across Canada all winter long celebrating Canada’s game as “the ultimate hockey fan experience”. In Ottawa it certainly lived up to its claim!

Vimy Reception

I had the honour of attending a reception at the French Embassy commemorating the Centennial anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The Vimy Foundation perhaps best describes the significance to Canada of the Battle of Vimy Ridge: “The battle, which took place on April 9, 1917, is commonly highlighted as a turning point in Canadian history, where four Canadian divisions fought together as a unified fighting force for the first time. While 3,598 Canadian soldiers were killed during the battle, the impressive victory over German forces is often cited as the beginning of Canada’s evolution from dominion to independent nation.” I hope we all take a moment to thank those to whom we owe so much.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Celebrate the diversity of Canada

PUBLIC MEETINGS

They came from away to find a new life, a new beginning and they built a nation. They discovered a country as diverse as they were, these people from France, England, Ireland, China and many other countries. They met hardship, overcame the elements and settled in communities from coast to coast to coast, from sea to sea to sea. These are the people of Canada and they celebrated their life in song. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) members celebrate their ancestry — many are first

All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit ottawa.ca/agendas, or call 3-1-1.

generation and even go back as far as seventh-generation Canadian — and their country in a special evening of Canadian music. From Sea To Sea To Sea — Celebrating Canadian Music roams across prairies, oceans, rivers, mountains and to the far north song after song. Robert Dueck, director of the chorus, selected numbers that are reflective of our nation’s weather, landscape, tragedy, and of course hockey. At every concert, WOLC welcomes the audience to sing along.

This spring concert on May 13 is no exception as across the country from sea to sea to sea — from coast to coast to coast we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Raising their voices in song the chorus will demonstrate pride in their heritage, their country’s diversity and vast landscape. From wind driving across the plains to mist hanging in veils to ships at harbour. Away From the Roll of the Sea by Allister MacGillivray is a rolling Nova Scotia tune describing boats at rest in the harbour and has been adopted by both east and west coasts. The words imply more than one meaning. On the surface they state that no one can know by simply looking at boats in a safe harbour what adventures or hardships they have endured. Four Strong Winds by Ian Tyson depicts the harshness

of the prairies and its everlasting draw. Let me Fish Off Cape St. Mary’s is one of the most beloved ballads of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a hauntingly beautiful song that was written by Otto P. Kelland of Flatrock, Newfoundland. Fishermen know the perils of life at sea and wish for safe return home. The repertoire for this concert ranges from lulling lullabies to folk songs to rousing renditions of traditional favourites. From Sea To Sea To Sea — Celebrating Canadian Music, the WOLC spring concert, May 13, is at Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Drive, Kanata at 7 p.m. It is an Ontario 150 sponsored event.

Ministry of Labour inspection after LRT worker injury yields no charges A report following the March 18 injury of an LRT worker in the tunnel near Queen and Kent streets says the Ministry of Labour inspection has not yielded any orders or charges. The memo, sent out on March 21 by transportation manager John Manconi, also seeks to clear up media reports that paramedics were asked not to discuss the incident publicly and an unidentified workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of his March 1 injury as reported by CTV. The worker injured on March 18 was struck by a hose

that was being lifted by a crane. He walked out of the tunnel on his own volition, the memo to council reads. The worker has since been released from the hospital and the Ministry was Labour was notified as per protocol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ministry of Labour yesterday investigated the location of the incident and did an inspection. They have not issued any orders or laid any charges,â&#x20AC;? the memo reads. In addition, the report says Anthony Di Monte, general manager of emergency and protective services, has confirmed there were no restrictions placed on paramedics to

speak about this issue to the media. Emergency and protective services also reviewed the 911 tapes at the time an unidentified worker reported to CTV that he was injured on March 1, the report said. There were two emergency calls placed that day. During the first call, the paramedic dispatcher worked with the caller to determine where the ambulance should arrive. Paramedics arrived at the agreed upon location, but the caller and injured worker werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on scene. The second call to paramedics was to cancel the ambulance, because the

injured man was being transported to hospital by a coworker. Manconi wrote in his report that there was an emergency phone within 100 metres of the incident. Manconi remains confident

that tunnelling work is safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on its experience to date, and considering the scale and complexity of this infrastructure project, the city is confident that RTG has a robust health and safety program and is taking all reasonable

steps to protect the health and safety of workers engaged on this project,â&#x20AC;? the memo reads. There have been 4.9 million hours logged on the project with 11 lost time injuries reported before the March incident.

Be prepared for Miss Crosby’s weekend stay

t was our turn. We had been anticipating the weekend for months. And now it was finally here. Our beloved teacher would be coming home with us on Friday night and staying until Father took us back to school on Monday morning. There were very few families who weren’t given the privilege of having Miss Crosby stay over. Rich or poor, it was considered an honour to play host to the teacher once a year. And now, finally, she would be com-

Fresh apple and raisin pies were on the bake table, freshly baked bread filled the bread box, sticky buns were in the warming closet over the Findlay Oval, and our best dishes, the only ones that matched and came from puffed wheat bags from Briscoe’s General Store, were washed and dried, just in case a fleck of dust was on any

be placed beside each plate. Father thought all the fussing was crazy. “She’s just from the farm like the rest of us,” he said. But Mother paid him no heed, and we five kids agreed with her. Having Miss Crosby for a weekend was very special indeed. There would be no walking home from school that Friday

night. Father would bring the flat bottom sleigh with the one seat at the front where he and Miss Crosby would sit, while we kids clung to the back. And that day there would be no changing in our play clothes when we came home from school. See YOU, page 18

Federal budget good news for transit, housing: councillors We need to get deficit under control: Poilievre

Rethink Garbage:

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

Hazardous materials

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa’s wishes for light rail and affordable housing seem to have been granted with the 2017 federal budget. Announced on March 22, the budget includes $20.1 billion over the next 11 years for ambitious transit projects. The first chunk of money — $3.9 billion — will be spent over the next five years. The budget uses Ottawa’s Stage 2 light rail as an example, and Mayor Jim Watson said he’s been assured of the $1.15 billion needed for a 50-50 split with the province on the planned extensions to Trim Road and the Ottawa Airport.

Please dispose of them properly.

“Light rail will be a real victory for Orléans,” said Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, adding transit was the biggest “gripe” heard on the campaign trail before taking over the office from Rainer Bloess. “For employers, the concern about the lack of ability to get downtown conveniently was a big issue,” Mitic said, adding he’s already seen economic interest in the area as a result of the planned extension for Stage 2 LRT. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said it appears the feds have been listening. “The municipalities have been saying that transit and housing are priorities,” he said. “They didn’t just nod and smile, this budget shows they were listening.” The big city mayors, including Ottawa’s, asked for $12.6 billion

for social housing. The budgetcame in close, with $11.2 billion promised over 11 years. “More important than the dollar amount, was the sustainable, long-term funding we were asking for,” said Taylor, who serves as the special liaison for housing and homelessness issues. The federal budget shows that the only way to solve the homelessness problem in this country is to get to the root. he said. “It’s important to acknowledge that housing-loss prevention is just as important as funding for new units or deferred maintenance,” Taylor said. “You have to treat it like a continuum.” There will be a premium on innovative ideas to solve the complex issues of homelessness, he noted. See BUDGET, page 21

Budget comes with ‘big pile of debt,’ Poilievre says The West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards 2017

Continued from page 21

The Royal Canadian Navy struggles to keep up with the demand created by the country’s three large coasts, never mind an international presence, Mitic said. “Hopefully commanders on the ground, in the air and on the water are able to convey to the government what the need is,” Mitic said. OPPOSITION

Conservative Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre also took aim at defence spending. Poilievre said there is pressure for Canada to meet its NATO contribution of two per cent of GDP spending on defence. “Right now we are only at half that,” he said. Aside from defence, Poilievre said the Liberal government is taking credit for

Stage 2 LRT spending that was earmarked by the Conservatives. He thinks this most recent budget will be a problem for his constituents, who are concerned about the growing deficit. The budget projects shortfalls of $23 billion for 2016-

‘No one working retail making minimum wage is buying a $150,000 electric car.’ CARLETON MP PIERRE POILIEVRE

17, $25.5 billion next year and $24.4 billion in 2018-19 — an improvement of between $1.5 billion and $2.1 billion since the fall. “The budget comes with a big pile of debt,” Poilievre

said. “Which means billions will be spent every year on interest payments.” He said his residents want to see controlled hydro costs, and points to SunTech Greenhouses in Manotick, which had to shut down in March and February due to high electricity bills. “That’s two months where people weren’t working,” he said. Poilievre also took aim at the proposed carbon tax plan, saying it’s a transfer of money from the poor to wealthier Canadians. “People who pay a higher percentage of their income on heating, food and hydro will pay more,” Poilievre said, adding they won’t be able to take advantage of things like rebates for electric cars. “No one working retail making minimum wage is buying a $150,000 electric car,” he said.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students are concerned about their future, says a survey completed by Civix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an advocacy group aimed at engaging the next generation in politics. The survey, released on the same day the federal government released their budget, shows Canadian students are concerned about the environment, education and the job market, as well as income inequality. The majority of students (70 per cent) surveyed were confident in their own ability to get work once they finished school, but seven out of 10 respondents said there is a youth unemployment problem in Canada. When asked what the govern-

Majority of participants concerned with youth unemployment: survey Continued from page 24

Another 25 per cent said the government should lower personal income taxes. Eleven per cent said they’d like to see more tax credits for children’s activities and nine per cent wanted to see support for access to affordable daycare. “There seemed to be general concern about the future of education once it’s no longer free,” Ruth Kagan, who teaches Grade 10 civics and Grade 12 law at Glebe Collegiate Institute, said. After their own futures, students seemed concerned about the future of their country. When it came to debts and deficit, 66 per cent of students agreed that reducing the country’s debt should be a priority. Nearly half – 48 per cent – feel that the budget should be balanced at any cost. After Canada’s health, student focus shifted to that of Mother Nature. Sixty-one per cent of respondents said that respecting the environment is a priority and funding should be increased.

Overall students wanted to see support for affordable housing and addressing income inequality. The majority – 63 per cent – were in favour of higher taxes for wealthy Canadians and 53 per cent were in favour of higher taxes for corporations. Kagan said the survey gave her students a chance to have their say in the process. “It’s a great program,” she said. “There are authentic resources that really foster conversations in the classroom.” In December, François-Philippe Champagne, the parliamentary secretary for the Minister of Finance came to a civics class to answer questions from the students. “It was great, he didn’t skate the questions, he answered them and students had a lot to

talk about after he left,” Kagan said. In Ottawa 18 schools from three school boards took part in the project. Nationwide 7,000 students had their say. “There’s a problem getting the age group of 18 to 25 out to vote,” Kagan said, adding that engaging students helps them to feel more involved in politics and more likely to be educated on the issues when they reach voting age. Civix also runs a student voting project that allows students to “vote” in elections and teaches them about the division of power for municipal, provincial and federal governments. Schools that participated in the survey come from three local boards: • St. Luke Catholic High School

• St. Michael Catholic High School • Cairine Wilson Secondary School • College Catholique Mer-Bleue • Norman Johnston Alternate Program • Glebe Collegiate Institute • Lisgar Collegiate Institute • Albert Education Centre • St. Patrick’s High School • Hillcrest High School • Canterbury High School • St. Francis Xavier High School • St. Paul High School • Bayshore Public School-ESL • Woodroffe High School • Ecole secondaire publique Omer-Deslauriers • Ecole secondaire publique De La Salle • Ottawa Technical Secondary School

KA FAMILIA FILIPINO FUSION RESTAURANT Ka Familia serves up Filipino Fusion cuisine Dhom Rosete is about to realize his dream. He and his family are opening Ka Familia Filipino Fusion Restaurant at 3570 Strandherd Drive, Nepean. With the Grand Opening April 8, the restaurant will be the peak of Dhom’s career that started in his native Philippines and carried on through 26 years as a restauranteur in London and Wales. “Filipino food is a natural centre of fusion to many different cultures. There is often an aspect of counterpoint in each dish where contrasting flavours such as sweet and salty are paired together to create delicious combinations. It offers a bold combination of flavours influenced by Spain and Asia.” Philippine cuisine continues to evolve as new styles of cooking and ingredients find their way into recipes. Traditional dishes, both simple and elaborate, combine indigenous and foreign influences to create unique, delicious food. Dhom says Philippine cuisine is simple and unique, honest food, using a variety of native ingredients. “Our food is both traditional and modern Filipino with a fusion flair. Each of the 7000+ islands in the Philippines has developed its own style based on local customs and products. Ka Familia takes a regional approach to the cuisine.” Through the years Dhom has gained valuable experience with different cooking techniques at various restaurants. Now he is finally able to serve the food of his homeland. “We pride ourselves in providing warm and friendly service. We have a passion for Filipino food and we want to share it with you. Come and discover the diverse flavours of Filipino cuisine and more. We will use local ingredients wherever possible.Come explore different food combinations.” Ka Familia will earn its reputation with every meal served. As Dhom says, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning.”

Card of Thanks In Memory of Robert ‘Bob’ Edwards We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our family, friends and neighbours for the tremendous outpouring of support during our time of grief in the loss of our husband, father, Poppa and Poppa Bob. We were overwhelmed by the many expressions of sympathy: food offerings, phone calls, cards, visits, online condolences, memorial donations and flowers. Each and every gesture was a source of comfort for us. The amazing attendance at the funeral home, funeral and luncheon were a testament to how much Bob was loved. He loved life, loved everyone he met and treated everyone like family. Thank you to Reverend Valerie Kelly for traveling from Kingston to perform the funeral. Bob enjoyed joking with you every year at the pancake dinner. Thank you to Sterling Bennett for providing the music at the funeral and to the choir at the St. John’s Anglican Church. Special thanks to good friend, Hugh Colton for delivering the eulogy and to Gary and Nora Brown for contributing special memories. Thank you to nephew Steven Bennett for writing a wonderful tribute as well. A big thank you to the honorary pallbearers, Ed Strickland, Dick Magill, Hugh Colton, Steve Commodore, Steve Hughes, Gary Brown and pallbearers Steven Bennett, Adam DeLisle, Dale Edwards, Randy Edwards, David Edwards and Carl Lackey. Extra special thanks to the staff of Lannin Funeral Home: Dale, Alex and Ryan. Dale, we know how hard this was for you being one of Bob’s friends and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the dignified and compassionate treatment along with all of the extra touches and hand holding you provided. Alex and Ryan, thank you for being so attentive, helping us make decisions and being there for us every step of the way. You treated us like family and for that we are ever thankful. Bob was a very special man and his passing has left a huge hole in our hearts. We are very blessed to have a very large and loving family, along with a huge network of friends and neighbours. Thank you all for having been a part of Bob’s life and for honoring him in his passing. ‘Close in our hearts you will always stay.

Panellists advise on how not to repeat history Continued from page 34

In 1970, 15 years after she was liberated by Soviet forces in Germany, Gara moved to Canada – specifically Ottawa – with her husband and two daughters. The family was met with acceptance, and it’s acceptance that she encourages Canadians to demonstrate today. “Nobody ever charged me of being a refugee or a foreigner,” she said. “Let’s keep on doing that and tell our children that no matter what, we are one … We have to remember that. We are all the same people, good and bad among all of us.” Belian, the voice of a different generation affected by genocide, echoed the importance of keeping stories of genocide and inclusion alive long after they’ve taken place. “I’m a descendant of survivors and victims … but their legacy and the stories that they’ve left behind is of course trans-generational,” he said. “The horrors of genocide

and persecutions such as genocide transcend time and space.” Anyone, the panellists agreed, can use that transcendence, to prevent future atrocities, whether or not they have been directly affected by genocide. “April is the month to remember the (Rwandan) genocide, so invite your friends to come to listen to survivors,” Umutoni said. “Start where you are and it’s going to be OK … Pay attention to what’s happening. Look, judge and do better.” Other highlights of the conference were the Tour for Humanity – a mobile human rights education centre – a lecture about Canada’s changing population demographics and presentations by local religious leaders and representatives including Jewish Rabbi Menachem Blum, Muslim Imam Zijad Delic and Aisha Sherazi, a spiritual counsellor for students and teachers at Merivale High School. “One of the reasons why I

anti-Semitism, we’re not talking about anti-this or anti-that. This is all positivity, humanity, inclusion, acceptance.”

There are a significant number of dead or declining ash trees in the Katimavik Woods and Cattail Creek Park that were scheduled to be removed this winter. The work was to be done once the ground had frozen to allow for heavy machinery to be brought in and not damage the surrounding areas. Unfortunately due to the warm weather we received in February, the large scale removals could not be done and will be rescheduled for removal next winter. Any trees that require immediate attention due to declining health or hazard will be removed via normal Forestry Operations. Once I receive notice of the removals for next winter, I will post the dates on my website with maps of areas where work will be done. Please note that residents adjacent to the woodlots will be notified by mail prior to any removal work.

Earl students hope to add plasma cutter to class ‘It’s helpful for all our careers and our futures’: Grade 12 student BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A class of Grade 12 students at

Earl of March Secondary School is raising funds to purchase a CNC plasma cutting table for the school’s manufacturing engineering pro-

gram. And although the graduating class won’t have the opportunity to use the machine themselves, they

April 7 - 9, 2017 Carleton Place Arena- 75 Neelin Street

want to ensure future classes have the technology. “It makes our students even more attractive to industry than they already are,” said Ben Morrison, who will study civil engineering and computer technology at the University of Ottawa when he graduates. “It’s helpful for all our careers and our futures.” The Kanata high school would be the first in the public board to have a CNC (computer numerical control) plasma cutter — a machine that takes two-dimensional

Earl of March has the largest technological education program in the public school board with access to the most equipment, said Pemberton. It’s also the only school with a 4M tech program, allowing students to use the course to apply to university, college, for an apprenticeship or to go directly into the trades. Adding a CNC plasma cutter “will allow the kids to quickly fabricate anything they want; robot chassis, machine components, parts for welding (or) art projects,”

“Our goal here is to prepare future engineers and tradespeople for what lies ahead by giving them experience with design, materials, and production technology while working on real world projects.” SCOTT PEMBERTON, TEACHER AND HEAD OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT

computer designs and cuts them out quickly and precisely on sheet metal. The school has set a $40,000-goal to purchase a machine and cover installation costs. “We don’t work a lot with sheet metal because we can’t,” said Scott Pemberton, teacher and head of the technology department. “A CNC plasma table will let kids make tangible products from their ideas faster and more precisely than ever before. Once they see what this thing can do, their creativity will take over and then the sky’s the limit.”

said Pemberton. “Our goal here is to prepare future engineers and tradespeople for what lies ahead by giving them experience with design, materials, and production technology while working on real world projects. “I believe Earl of March is able to do this better than any other school with our manufacturing and computer engineering programs. It’s like a crash course in mechatronics; one of the fastest growing fields in industry.” See STUDENTS, page 39

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Scott Pemberton’s Grade 12 manufacturing engineering class at Earl of March Secondary School is working to raise $40,000 to purchase a CNC plasma cutter. The machine would help elevate students’ skills as they enter post-secondary institutions and the workforce.

Students work to fundraise $40,000 for plasma cutting table Continued from page 38

Students in the current class have plans to become software, electrical, mechanical and computer engineers, power line technicians, archaeologists, air force pilots, graphic designers and electricians. To have the ability to turn computer designs into something tangible in just seconds is valuable not just to students but to the companies that will hire them, said Tom Ives, who has plans to attend Algonquin College’s electrical engineering technology program after high school. It would likely give the high school program a boost in enrolment. “If we were to get this plasma cutter hopefully it would bring more attention

to this program,” he said. “It’s a great place to be able to learn hands on.” So far, the school has raised “a couple thousand dollars” toward the goal with help from Morrison’s

$40,000 goal. The next step, said Morrison, is to reach out to industry professionals and organizations for assistance. He said he hopes companies will recognize how in-

leading to available talent for them down the road.” Donations, which are tax deductible, can be mailed or delivered to Earl of March Technology Department, No. 4 The Parkway, Kana-

Montfort Hospital launches new knowledge institute BY VICTORIA ST. MICHAEL Victoria.StMichael@metroland.com

Although it has been in operation for a little over a year already, Montfort Hospital officially launched the Institut du savoir Montfort, its knowledge in-

stitute, on March 24 at Montfort. The event included a chance to meet Steve, one of the ISM’s breathing, blinking and medically challenged simulation mannequins. Dr. Bernard Leduc, president and CEO of Montfort, said the ISM is a

unique institution in Ontario. “It’s an institution that actually combines the research enterprise — generating new knowledge, with teaching,” said Leduc. See MONTFORT, page 43

Look at memory care differently! Stephanie could not wait to visit Nan every summer as a child. Now grown and with a family of her own, Stephanie often worried about how to take care of Nan and her two boys. Then she found Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community. Bridlewood’s customized daily activities ensure she receives cognitive stimulation, dignity, and purpose, while offering Stephanie the comfort in knowing that Nan lives every moment to its fullest.

Montfort Institute will support training of students, residents Continued from page 40

“But the researchers are also very close with the clinicians, so we get the questions coming up from the clinical practices and make sure that they do the research to help solve a significant or relevant problem.” The ISM will support the training of over 1,300 students and residents at Montfort Hospital. It is also a research program and a clinical research laboratory supporting more than 75 researchers and clinicianresearchers. Suzanne Clement, the chair of Montfort’s board of trustees, reflected on how the hospital has always been an excellent resource for the francophone community since its construction in 1953. She said the ISM gives the hospital a partner that allows them to excel in their university mission. ‘ONE-STOP-SHOP’

“The ISM allows us to develop a one-stopshop service that brings together knowledge management services, from producing knowledge to transferring it to staff or even training future generations,” said Clement, alternating between French and English. The ISM also boasts a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory, where students can work with lifelike mannequins like Steve to learn how to deal with real emergencies. Sophie Guevin, a fourth-year nursing student at the University of Ottawa, recently finished her placement at Montfort and was happy to have had the chance to work at the ISM. “It was really nice to have a simulation in a hospital setting with licensed nurses, doctors and other health-care providers,” said Guevin.

“To use that more advanced setting with the mannequins, to be able to practise critical events before we did it on a real patient, was a good opportunity.” Those who attended the event — including Leduc — had the opportunity to perform CPR on Steve the mannequin. Sophie Audet, a clinical educator with the ISM, says Steve is able to breathe and blink. He even has a pulse and his pupils can dilate. Students can also give Steve needles and IV injections, and if they give him the wrong one his body will react accordingly. Leduc says Montfort inaugurated the research institute at the end of 2008, but the idea of creating the ISM is now two or three years in the making. “Today, we present the institute to the world,” Leduc said. The ISM benefits from financing generated by the Montfort Hospital Foundation. During her speech, Montfort Hospital Foundation CEO Christine Sigouin highlighted the importance of the partnership between the institute and the foundation. “While the ISM will benefit from the Montfort Foundation’s fundraising expertise and knowledge, the foundation, along with the ISM, will expand their horizons by developing collaborative partnerships together with a whole new array of stakeholders,” Sigouin said in French. “Together, with our concentrated efforts, both the foundation and ISM look forward to breaking new ground and all the opportunities that lie ahead of us.”

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

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

My husband and I are separating after three years of marriage. The home we have lived in was mine prior to our marriage and it remains in my name alone. There is significant equity in the home. I understand that our assets will generally be divided equally, but does he have any claim on the equity in the home? It is important to understand the treatment of the matrimonial home upon a marriage breakdown. A matrimonial home is defined as “a property that… was at the time of separation ordinarily occupied by the person and his or her spouse as their family residence…” If your home fits that description then, for legal purposes, it is considered a matrimonial home.

Many people consider this to be generally unfair. If, for example, a party owned an investment account, only the increase in its value would be subject to equalization. However, in the case of a matrimonial home, the legal presumption is that the equity in the property is to be divided evenly between the parties despite who brought it into the marriage.

Upon the breakdown of the marriage, the Family Law Act provides that the parties calculate the net value of their respective assets at the time of marriage and at the time of the breakdown of the marriage, and then equalize the assets that were accumulated during the marriage. One key exception to the calculation of net assets is, in fact, the matrimonial home – if one party brought it into the marriage, he or she does not get to claim it as their own asset brought into the marriage for the purposes of equalization.

There are ways that parties can safeguard themselves in your situation. One way is through a prenuptial contract, and another is by selling the house prior to separation. There are also situations in which you can argue for an unequal distribution of assets – those depend very specifically on the facts of each case. A family lawyer would be able to advise you of your chances of advancing a claim for an unequal distribution in your favour upon a review of your specific circumstances. cumstances.
