If you can’t eat ’em, maybe you can treat ’em

Two Kanata sisters are planning to bring a little sweetness to Canadian Forces members stationed overseas. Kiera, six, and Sienna Kucherhan, 10, have launched a campaign called Can’t Eat ’Em, Treat ’Em to send Girl Guides cookies to deployed military members and “give them a little bit of home,” said Kiera, a member of the 10th Kanata South Sparks troop. People who cannot eat Girl Guides cookies for dietary reasons, or who want to pay a kindness forward, can instead purchase and donate a box of the chocolate and vanilla cookies. “I thought about when Daddy was away. He loved getting things from home,” said Sienna, a patrol leader with the 22nd Kanata South Girl Guides.

Bank of Canada unveils commemorative $10 bill by Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Pulling a $10 bill out of your wallet this year might just be a bit more special this year. The Bank of Canada unveiled a commemorative $10 bank note celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation in Ottawa on April 7. The note, which showcases Canada’s history, culture and land will enter circulation on June 1. The Bank of Canada governor Stephen S. Poloz said the note is intended to captivate Canadian’s imagination and instil pride. “It celebrates the natural beauty and majesty of our land and some of the important parliamentarians who helped shape our great country,” Poloz said. The note has a number of features including four individuals portrayed on the front. With Parliament’s Hall of Honour in the background, Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir George-Étienne Cartier, Agnes Macphail and James Gladstone (Akay-na-muka). This will be the first bill in circulation that will have a Canadian woman and an indigenous Canadian depicted as portrait subjects on a Bank of Canada note. The Bank of Canada held a public consultation in an effort to ensure that this commemorative bank note reflects the inputs of Canadians. Five different landscapes representing the various regions of Canada are featured on the other side of the note: the Lions/Twin Sisters

(Western Canada), a wheat field (Prairie Provinces), the Canadian Shield (Central Canada), Cape Bonavista (Eastern Canada) and the northern lights (Northern Canada). The design also incorporates Inuit and Métis cultural elements: a colourful reproduction of the artwork Owl’s Bouquet by Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak; and the distinctive arrow sash pattern, an important symbol of the Métis nation. The $10 note also has new security features, including a colour-shifting arch depicting an arch found in the Memorial Chamber on Parliament Hill, as well as three-dimensional maple leaves. Starting in June, the Bank of Canada will issue 40 million of these commemorative bank notes and distribute them through financial institutions to be broadly available across Canada by July 1. The Canada 150 note will circulate alongside the current polymer series $10 note, and does not replace it. Both the current $10 note and the commemorative $10 note are of equal value and can be used interchangeably in transactions. The $10 note will once again be changed in 2018, featuring human rights and freedoms icon Viola Desmond. This will mark another historic first; Desmond will become the first Canadian woman to be featured on a regularly circulating Bank of Canada bank note. The bank note is expected in late 2018.

Threatening letters delivered to at least 27 people in Ottawa Mail postmarked in Calgary makes death threats

by Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

At least 27 people in Ottawa have received threatening letters with postage stamps from Calgary, police said on April 12. In most cases, the envelope is addressed in handwriting to a specific recipient. The letter found inside – a photocopy of a handwritten note – makes death threats aimed at the recipient and his or her family, and begins with, “I know where you live,” police said. The letters are typically mailed to residential addresses, and police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy said many of the complaints about the letters

wrong or something like that. But to the extent where 27 (are coming) from an unknown source, I can’t recall anything similar to that.” Investigators believe the letter is being mass distributed in

Ottawa and are urging all recipients to avoid over-handling the letter and contact police. “We want people everywhere, if they’ve received the letter, to let us know,” Soucy said.

Richardson Ridge blasting for final phase could begin by winter BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Phase 4 of the Richardson Ridge subdivision is one step closer to approval following a public meeting on April 10. Steve Cunliffe, with Regional Group, said if all goes according to plan, blasting and mass excavation of the area will begin this winter. Richardson Ridge is located on the east side of Terry Fox Drive, near the intersection with Richardson Side Road. “We’re looking at hopefully by the end of this year getting through the approval process,” he said. “The house construction will get going next June.” A draft plan of subdivision and rezoning application has been submitted to the city for Phase 4 of the development; a public meeting is a requirement. Residents who attended the meeting, held during Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s monthly town hall, didn’t voice objections during the public forum. The handful of questions

centred on traffic lights, public streets and turtle habitats. A traffic light is planned for the intersection at Terry Fox and Huntsville drives and is currently in the approval process with the city, said Cunliffe. Wilkinson said she expects at least one more signalized intersection will be needed in the future when the Richcraft development (bordering the northwest side of Richardson Ridge) gets underway. A resident wanted to know if a roundabout could be installed instead of a signalized intersection, but Cunliffe said the streets have been designed for traffic lights. FINAL PHASE

Regional Group is overseeing Phase 4 of the subdivision for homebuilders Uniform Urban Development and Cardel Homes. Phase 3, which includes builder Braebury Homes, is under construction. “This is the fourth and final phase,” said Cunliffe, adding it will feature 42 single-family homes and 152 townhouses.

with the planned Richcraft development. PROCESS

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Steve Cunliffe, with Regional Group, explains the layout of phase four of the Richardson Ridge subdivision. If all goes according to plan, blasting and mass excavation of the area will begin this winter. The subdivision will sit on about 10.2 hectares of land and includes a 0.8-hectare park overlooking the provincially significant Kizell wetland. About 6.15 hectares of land will be dedicated to the city as part of a natural environment area and the builders will also construct a habitat and pond

area for Blanding’s turtles, listed as a threatened species, to the northeast of the site. “This development is set back from all of those significant features,” said Cunliffe. A pathway system through the entire Richardson Ridge development will be continued in Phase 4.

“You’ll have a continuous loop system,” said Cunliffe, adding boardwalks will likely be constructed where the pathways cross the wetlands. Phase 4 will also see four new public streets constructed. Direct access will be from Terry Fox Drive, while one of the new streets is expected to connect

Kathy Rygus, city planner, said the subdivision proposal and rezoning request are moving through the system. “We’re slowly working our way through the process,” she said. A public meeting is a requirement for a draft plan of subdivision, said Rygus. If a person doesn’t submit comments during the planning process, and before a final decision is reached, that person can’t file an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board at a later date. “You have to have participated in the process,” she said. “After this we move forward into resolving any issues that may be outstanding.” For details on Phase 4 of Richardson Ridge, visit Ottawa.ca/devapps and search file no.

Toddler burned in crib fire says ‘Thank you’ pieces coming together and making a HUGE difference in the lives of not only Cody, but his family as well,” wrote McNeil. “This post is meant to be the most heartfelt and relieved ‘Thank you’ to everyone who has made a positive mark on our lives and our hearts with your donations of money and clothing, words of support and prayers.” Cody was taken to CHEO in critical condition after he suffered serious burns to his hands and face when his crib caught fire in the early morning hours of Feb. 8.

“People love that they are helping both our deployed military personnel as well as Girl Guides,” she said. And the idea is spreading. Local Pathfinders groups and another troop in B.C. have expressed interest in starting their own cookie campaigns, she said. The family is in talks with Canadian Joint Operations Command about logistics for the cookie drop, and if the cookies cannot be sent through military channels then the family will make sure they get delivered, said Daniel. To purchase cookies for deployed Canadian Forces members, email welovegirlguidecookies@gmail.com. The Kucherhans will also sell cookies at Cabela’s on May 6.

“We thought if we gave Girl Guides cookies to deployed military members we’d give them a little piece of home,” she said. The girls’ father, Major Daniel Kucherhan, was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months in 2013 and the family would often send parcels. So far, since launching their campaign on social media, going door-to-door in Kanata's Arcadia neighbourhood where they live, and selling cookies outside Cabela’s, the girls have collected almost 10 cases — that’s 120 boxes of cookies. “I feel really happy that people are going to smile when they see the cookies,” said Sienna. “It makes me

really happy to know they’re going to have something nice.” The campaign will help Sienna earn the Lady BadenPowell Award, the highest honour a Guide can receive. Daniel said he was “hugely impressed” with his daughters’ work and the amount of support that has come in from the community. “I’m very proud of their initiative,” he said. “We very much appreciate all the donations so far.” Operation Cookie Drop and the Can’t Eat ’Em, Treat ’Em campaign began with the United States Girl Scouts movement. As far as the Kucherhans know, they are the first to bring the campaign to Canada, said the girls’ mother Shari.

The Glen Cairn toddler who was severely burned after his crib caught fire earlier this year is “happy, healthy and himself again,” according to his father Chris McNeil. In a three-second video posted to McNeil’s Facebook page, Cody says “Thank you” to all those who helped in his recovery following a small prompt from his father. “After all is said and done, Chris McNeil/Facebook Cody McNeil says ‘thank you’ Cody is home, happy, healthy in a clip posted to his father’s and himself again.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Firefighters on the Hill I had the pleasure of meeting with representatives of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association, representing the 950 professional firefighters from Kanata-Carleton. We discussed many issues include, firefighter safety and the creation of a National Action Plan on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for First Responders. It is important to recognize the tremendous work performed by Firefighters, and indeed all first responders, every day.

Top 20 Women in Defence I was humbled to be included in this year’s Esprit de Corps Magazine’s Top 20 Women in Defence. Although House votes prevented me from attending the “Breaking Down the Barricades” reception, it was amazing to read the profiles of the female role models from the defense and security industry who were recognized.

Improving Rural Internet I had a productive meeting with Councillor El-Chantiry, Chris Cope of the City of Ottawa, and stakeholders in the telecom industry to discuss the viability of extending the high speed internet capabilities to the rural regions of our riding. It is clear that all Constituents in the Riding, indeed all Canadians, require access to this important capability. I have been speaking with local providers about the “Connect to Innovate” program, that will invest up to $500 million by 2021 to help ensure that 300 rural and remote communities in Canada are better positioned to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the digital age.

Vaisakhi I had the pleasure of attending Parliament Hill’s celebration of Vaisakhi with a number of Sikh community leaders. This past week, Sikhs in Canada and around the world will mark Vaisakhi, the holiest day in the Sikh faith. During this harvest festival, Sikhs will gather in prayer and song, take part in religious processions, and share meals together. It was a great opportunity to share the celebration with my colleagues and the many constituents from Kanata-Carleton who attended the event.

Police launch online reporting tool for hate crimes by Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Ottawa police has expanded its online reporting tool to include hate crimes. The new service launched April 11. “Our community partners have requested this and I’m pleased to see it being implemented,” said Police Chief Charles Bordeleau in a press

2014 and 105 in 2015, said Diversity and Race Relations Staff Sgt. David Zackrias. Before the end of October last year, there were 64 reported incidents. Last year there was a spate of hate graffiti offences against religious institutions. Police charged a youth in six of those in about a week. “Even one incident has a huge impact in the community it sends fear,” said Zackrias. “A swastika

release. “This will provide an alternative means of access to police services and help to eliminate these kinds of crimes in our communities.” Statistics Canada reports that there were 100 reported hate crimes in Ottawa in 2012 and 64 in 2013. About half of reported hate crimes were motivated by race or ethnicity and almost 30 per cent were motivated by religion. The number of reported hate crimes in Ottawa rose to 94 in

at a synagogue, that sends fear through the community, so it impacts the Jewish community. It’s not just that one synagogue, it’s not just that one building, or that one person, it has a broader impact.” Zackrias said the new tool could provide a fuller picture of hate crimes in Ottawa by removing barriers to reporting. Statistics show that about two-thirds of hate crimes still go unreported. Zackrias said the online tool

Rabbi Anna Maranta discovered this swastika on the front door of her Glebe home on Nov. 15. will help if there are language barriers, or even if there are concerns about having a police car sitting outside a home. That can stigmatize the victim and draw more attention to them. “This online reporting gives people the opportunity to do this through their own comfort,” he said. Knowing the trends or targeted groups allows the police service to tailor their service, education and awareness campaigns. It’s a service the National Council of Canadian Muslims has been advocating for since 2014, said Sehrish Amjad, human rights officer for the council. “It’s a really important step that the Ottawa police took and they clearly heard openheartedly

the concerns of the community and willingly implemented solutions to better their services,” she said. Amjad is hoping other communities across Canada follow suit and make reporting more accessible and to ultimately eliminate hate motivated crimes. “But the service itself is only as useful as community members make it, so we are really encouraging community members to come forward and to report hate crimes,” Amjad said. By not reporting, she said the crimes become invisible, hindering the ability of authorities, policy-makers and community organizations to work proactively.

Malala – our new Honorary Canadian Today, I was honoured to attend the address from Malala Yousafzai as she became an honorary citizen of Canada. Her courage and determination to end gender-based violence and achieve gender equality is truly inspirational. As the youngest person to ever address the Parliament of Canada, Malala embodies the diversity and commitment to equality that is at the core of our Canadian values. Her advocacy and dedication has changed the world forever, inspiring both world leaders and future generations of young leaders. On this historic day, I am honoured to welcome Malala as an honorary citizen of this great country.

City should have a seat at the table for Lebreton Flats redevelopment: Watson BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

LeBreton Flats has the potential to be a tremendous city-building development; that’s why our council needs to be represented at the table as plans roll out, said Mayor Jim Watson during council on April 12. Watson and city manager Steve Kanellakos entered into “commercially confidential” discussions with the Ottawa Senators-backed RendezVous LeBreton Group after the National Capital Commission selected them as the preferred developer in November. The NCC continues to negotiate the land use deal. Among the concerns is the cost to the city if the developer applies for a brownfield grant. Right now, the city waives development charges and taxes over a period of time as incentive to clean up brownfields — properties that may have contamination from previous uses. The grant will cover up to 50 per cent of remediation costs. So far, the highest grant to be approved in Ottawa was for the Oblates development on Main Street. That grant will total $15.8 million over 10 years. The cost estimates to remediate the land at Lebreton Flats have reached as much as $50 million. Aside from concerns about remediation and lowered revenues flowing to the city, Watson said the city has a role to play in discussions around transit and public spaces. The city is in the process of running an LRT line through the property. Watson said he and Kanellakos will bring a report to the city’s finance and economic development committee by the fall, with some answers to these questions. He said all parties have to agree on things such as who would be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of public spaces. Watson said he also wants a concrete plan about what will happen to the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata once the Senators move to their new home. “I am aware of the impact of the Senators moving out of the Canadian Tire Centre,” Watson said, adding he’s hopeful the plan for the new arena will include bus fare in the ticket price of events at LeBreton Flats. It’s a practice that’s already in place at Lansdowne for RedBlacks games and it works well, Watson said.

Sens fever has struck! S pring has sprung, at last, and with it comes spring fever, the Ottawa Senators version – you know, the fever that turns you red, raises your voice and otherwise turns you into a rabid fan. Sens flags start appearing everywhere. The Red Mile along Elgin Street comes to life as those afflicted with “the fever” flock there not in search of any cure but in search of the camaraderie and contact with others that this fever craves. And the fever seems to loosen tongues so you hear everyone – on the bus, around the water cooler, at the bar, around the kitchen table – talking Sens hockey. Erik Karlsson is the best defenceman in the National Hockey League, some say. No, Karlsson is the best player in the whole world, others counter. And that Clarke MacArthur – boy, what a story it would be when he sparks the team to the Stanley Cup. And what about that Derick Brassard? He has flourished in the Stanley Cup playoffs before and that is why the Sens got him in the first place. Sens goalies Craig Anderson and Mike Condon are great stories – Anderson supporting his wife

Nicholle in her battle with cancer and Condon showing he is one solid goalie when other teams gave him a pass. There’s just so much to talk about these Sens of ours. But then, that’s the fever, isn’t it? Even the smallest of things can affect the fever and make it go viral. Case in point – Marc Methot’s finger. Imagine that, a little pinky playing a role in a Stanley Cup playoff series. Who would have guessed? But this is what “the fever” can and does do. And, you know what? In a world that at times seems so dangerous and unpredictable with terrorists, chemical warfare, famine and eccentric leaders, it is refreshing and relaxing in a way to be affected with Sens fever. You can be passionate and cheer heartily and, at the end of the day, you get to enjoy the victories and lament the losses and know that, Stanley Cup or not, there will be only good times all along the way. There is, thankfully, no vaccine or antidote for Sens fever. We should be so glad of that. Hopefully this year it’s going to be a long, long fever season, lasting for weeks and weeks. Go, Sens, go!

Time to get outside, despite lure of hockey playoffs

eople walked out of their houses on the first warm day and looked around. A guy saw a neighbour. Hadn’t seen him since the snow fell. The neighbour was looking up at his roof. Hadn’t seen the roof since the snow fell. The guy looked up at his own roof. It looked all right, and it was nice to be able to see the roof with no snow on it. And it was nice to talk to neighbours. They talked about roofs, about water in the basement, about the house for sale down the street. Were they going to knock it down? If so, that meant months of construction on the street. Neighbours talked, of course, about the Stanley Cup playoffs, a nice easy topic, and a safe one, unless the neighbour was a Leafs fan. Then it would be a short conversation.

changed for the better. Down the street a guy was hacking at a chunk of snow beside the driveway, breaking it into pieces and shovelling them out onto the Funny Town road. That seemed crazy. The sun was warm and it would, pretty quickly, melt all that snow and save the guy some work. But at least a conversation. But he probably wanted to get at In Charlotte, N.C., and Nairobi, it.

The park was mostly puddles and mud, but the baseball gloves would be out there any day now and the dogs would have to share the space with running kids. Usually that worked out. The only problem with getting at it was that the TV was getting at it too. The TV had big golf tournaments, hockey and basketball playoffs and the beginning of the baseball season. The change of seasons is a also miraculous time for people who want to delay getting at it. That includes getting at the income tax, perhaps the least likeable sign of the changing season, along with last year’s dog poop. On balance, though, it is good to be able to see the neighbours, good to be able to see the playoffs — especially in Ottawa — and good to be able to see the roof.

One day soon we will find cause to complain again, perhaps on a day when it is too hot, perhaps on a day when the refs make a big mistake. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Knit one, code two Y

ears ago, I had a neighbour who suggested my kids would fall behind in the high-tech world because I restricted their use of screens when they were toddlers. “This is the generation that has technology in their diapers,” she said. “If you keep it away, they’ll never learn how to use it.” They had such limited awake time in those days – between naps and 11 hours of nighttime sleep – that I chose to fill their waking hours with other, more traditional activities. We read books, listened to and played music, dug in the dirt, baked muffins. Television and video games weren’t really part of their lives until much later. One day, however, I’m confident my boys and their friends in the neighbourhood have the potential to be in charge of our robot overlords. These kids can read, write, and given the opportunity, they can solve complex mathematical problems, even while they lack the basic mathematical training to do so. More than just passive consumers of media, learning how to construct and dissect has helped them in basic pattern recognition. Their first introduction to coding came rather later than I expected, but the uptake in this exercise was rapid because, as it turns out, all that knitting and Lego-playing in the early days has made them great problem solvers. And as it turns out, Canadians overall aren’t great problem solvers. According to the Conference Board of Canada, 55 per cent of Canadian adults

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse tested in 2012 had “inadequate problem-solving skills” to function in the workplace when compared to international peers. “Given the centrality of written communication and basic mathematics in virtually all areas of life, coupled with the rapid integration of ICT (information and communications technology), individuals must be able to understand, process, and respond to textual and numerical information, print and digital, if they are to participate fully in society – whether as citizens, family members, consumers, or employees,” the authors note in the Conference Board’s

How Canada Performs. Our lack of collective problem-solving ability represents an enormous economic challenge. Canada, like the rest of the world, is already experiencing a major talent shortage of IT professionals. By 2020, it’s anticipated companies here will need to fill more than 200,000 positions in high tech. And while we’re great consumers of media, this isn’t turning any of us into savvy coders. “In terms of digital skills – the focus always seems to be on the digital economy and producing people who are good at using the services,” Geoff White,

general counsel for the Public Interest Advocacy Centre told the Canadian Internet Forum last June. White noted that using the technology isn’t enough; we have to also have a mind to understand it and manipulate it. Many university IT graduates in Canada lack the basic skills required to adapt to new technologies in the workplace. “When we talk about digital skills, we’re not just talking about the skills that allow you to use the technology,” said Sarah Anson-Cartwright, director of skills and immigration policy for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce at the CIF, hosted by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. “Less than half of Canadian

Kanata Lasers player drafted to Ottawa 67’s Right-winger Jack Quinn is OHL team’s second-round pick Jordan. “He’s a quiet guy but he always shows up at the rink ready to compete. He makes the guys around him better on the ice.” Quinn finished the season third overall in the league with 52 points — 28 goals and 24 assists — in 45 games. He also scored nine game-winning goals. He was named Forward of the Month in January, won the 2016-17 Top Rookie Award, and was named to the OHL Gold Cup team along with Kanata Lasers player Alex Johnston, who was drafted by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the sixth round. “(Quinn’s) had some good accolades there, very well deserving,” said Jordan. “He’s just an exceptional kid. We’re really happy for him and confident he’s going to do really, really well in the years to come.”

Kanata Lasers right-winger Jack Quinn is moving up. The Ottawa 67’s drafted the U18 AAA player with the team’s second-round pick — 39th overall — in the OHL priority selection draft on April 8. Quinn, who lives in Cobden and is a Grade 10 student at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, said he was watching the priority selection draft online when he heard his name called. “I watched when the 67’s picked my name,” said Quinn, 15. “I was just super excited, really happy.” Jeff Jordan, head coach of the Lasers, called Quinn “an elite hockey talent” who has excelled in the sport. “He was a pleasure to coach this year that’s for sure,” said

“Quinn is just scratching the surface on how good he is going to be,” he said in a release. “He has an elite hockey brain. We came into the draft with a need on the right side and we feel we addressed that in the first two rounds.” The 67’s kept it local in the first two rounds. Ottawa native and Toronto Marlboros player Graeme Clarke was the 67’s first-round pick. “Our scouts nailed it and we feel very good about our draft and who we selected,”

said Brown. “We've added a lot more depth to our organization and there is going to be a lot of competition for jobs at camp this year.” COMPETITIVE

Last year, Lasers player Daniel McIntyre was drafted to the 67’s. Both McIntyre and Quinn wore jersey number 67 playing with the Lasers. “Seemingly it’s a good number to wear,” said Jordan.

Walk of the cross

Submitted

This past Good Friday saw more than 160 people from different Christian churches gather to walk as one community in retracing the steps that Christ took towards his death on the cross. As Canada celebrates its 150th Anniversary of Confederation, St. John’s South March Anglican Church (established 178 years ago) was honoured to host this year Good Friday tradition which traces back to its first year in 1985. The route took participants through residential streets of north Kanata where solemn scripture passages were read and reflected upon. The walk concluded with participants gathering in the hall of St. John’s for refreshments and fellowship.

MP decries potential costs for decontamination of hospital lands BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A vocal opponent of the site for a new Ottawa Hospital Civic campus is calling out the Liberal government for potential costs associated with the new site. In a recent press release, Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre has asked for the price difference between locating the future hospital at the Sir John Carling location versus putting it across the street from the existing building. “This hospital is going to be more expensive as a result of the Liberals’ interference,” Poilievre said in a statement. He’s pointing to costs associated with decontamination of the lands, which according to Public Services and Procurement Canada, would cost about $11 million to remediate. House of Commons documents say there are contaminates of concern that are higher than those prescribed by guidelines.

On April 6, the land use and transaction approval for the land went before the National Capital Commission’s board of directors. The land use has to be approved by the commission, PSAC and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. While the department says the costs will depend on the footprint and layout of the new building, it estimates the removal of soil and rubble will cost $8.3 to $8.6 million and treatment and monitoring of

impacted groundwater will cost about $2.8 million. Who will pay for that is still under discussion with the hospital, the documents say.

Civic hospital’s location a hot topic for years Continued from page 15

Poilievre’s statement says the Liberals’ interference with the hospital’s location has resulted in an incomplete analysis of the site, which raises questions about its suitability. “The hospital is already faced with the gargantuan task of raising $400 million. The federal government should not add to that burden by forcing the hospital into a location it did not choose. The government must imme-

diately reveal the extra costs of forcing the hospital to the Carling Site over its preferred choice, and it must allow the hospital to revert back to its original choice – the big open field across the street from its current campus,” it reads. According to an update provided on the hospital’s website, it’s working closely with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) to facilitate the transfer of the land for a new Civic campus. “We look forward to working with patients and

the community at large in the months and years ahead,” the update reads. “A community engagement framework will be developed following preparatory consultations with stakeholders at the provincial, municipal and community level…” PSPC is leading the federal efforts to assemble the land for the new Ottawa hospital. On April 6, the land use and transaction approval for the land went before the

National Capital Commission’s board of directors. The land use has to be approved by three parties: the commission, PSAC and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. At the same time, River Coun. Riley Brockington has met with hospital CEO Dr. Jack Kitts to talk about timelines, design consultation and how the hospital plans to pay for the new building. Brockington said the latter, who pays what and how, including the recently floated

idea of a municipal levy, hasn’t even been discussed yet. He is hoping to host a community consultation in the next couple of months to get an idea of what are the surrounding community’s main concerns. The location of the hospital has been a hot topic in the city for a number of years. The hospital’s board universally rejected the National Capital Commission’s choice of Tunney’s Pasture for the

site of the new campus late last year. The NCC was asked by Heritage Minister Melanie Joly to complete a full review of potential sites in early 2016. That was prompted by the Conservative government’s announcement more than a year before that to build the hospital on the Central Experimental Farm, just across Carling Street from the current campus — a move that farm advocates vocally rejected.

From tutors to drivers, volunteers are fundamental to the services offered by The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa.

Joe is one of our many dedicated volunteers. Joe has been a volunteer driver with The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa for just over a year. In that time, he’s learnt a lot about the kids he drives, but also about himself. Previously a school bus driver, he has a lot of experience interacting with children. However, the one-on-one setting of being a volunteer driver really allows him to truly form a bond with the children he supports. “When the kids start to feel comfortable with me, when they start to open up, that’s what I love. They have been through a lot, and I feel lucky to play that small part in their journey.”

Thank you to Joe and all of our volunteers!

Public Services and Procurement Canada estimates the cost to decontaminate the land set aside for a future Ottawa Hospital Civic campus to be about $11 million.

Students rally for Sens BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

If the passion for the Ottawa Senators shown by elementary school kids in Stittsville on April 12 is any indication, Ottawa’s NHL team is going to have an enthusiastic fan base for years to come as the chant “Go Sens Go” thundered through the gymnasium at A. Lorne Cassidy elementary school at a pre-playoffs rally. The loudest cheers at the rally may have been reserved for Sens mascot Spartacat when he made an appearance. With many of the students wearing Senators’ jerseys or other team logos, the enthusiastic kids also got to hear about team playoff runs of the

past as Ottawa Senators alumni Chris ‘The Big Rig’ Phillips and Shaun Van Allen were also featured at the rally. “Playoff hockey, you can’t beat it,” said Phillips. “When you get to the playoffs, it’s a whole different level of hockey than the regular season,” said the man who has played more games for the Senators than any other player in team history. “Everybody gets more excited, it’s a fun time of the year,” Phillips said. Van Allen agreed with his former teammate. “The fans are all excited and you feed off it,” he said. The rally not only sent good vibes the Sens way as the playoffs started but was also the launch of the Sens in Schools

program . And while the April 12 rally with the Stittsville students did not help the Senators win the first game of their first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins later that night at the Canadian Tire Centre, the kids’ passion may have helped for the next two games in the series as the Senators beat Boston in overtime in both Game 2, also held at the CTC, and Game 3 in Boston.

A. Lorne Cassidy elementary school students wave their rally towels as they cheer on the Ottawa Senators at a rally held at the school on the day the NHL playoffs started on April 12. Brian Dryden/Metroland

Despite aiming for re-inflation by Easter weekend, management at the sports dome at Ben Franklin Park said on April 13 the dome wouldn’t be up and running as quickly as they’d hoped. The Superdome on Knox-

dale Road deflated suddenly on April 10 with patrons inside, but no one was injured. At least a dozen sports leagues and clubs use the dome, a multi-sport facility with three indoor fields, a golf range and a winter walking program. As of April 18, the dome was still down. “Unfortunately, we will not

have the Superdome at Ben Franklin Park open as quickly as we had originally anticipated,” TMSI Sports Management staff said on Twitter on April 13. “The TMSI Sports Management team and management at the facility apologize to our customers for the delay and assure you we are working

diligently to reopen as soon as possible.” Staff at the company said they would contact people impacted by the delay, but also invited clients to call them at 613-829-3663. “We thank everyone for their patience and understanding as work continues to re-open the dome,” the update concluded.

Games. Diver Roseline Filion competed for Canada And yes, she admits that at the Rio Olympic at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the 2012 Olympics in London and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She won bronze medals in both 2012 and 2016 in 10-metre synchronized diving with her longtime partner Meaghan Benfeito. She was in Stittsville on April 12 to speak to students at Ecole secondaire catholique PaulDemarais, addressing the assembled student body in the school gymnasium. She spoke standing on stage with a stool beside her on which there was not only a water bottle but her two Olympic bronze medals. A cheer went up from the students when Roseline showed each of the medals during her presentation. In an interview, Roseline noted that when she was young, she remembers athletes visiting her school and so she feels that it is just natural and a way to give back for her to do the same. Besides that, she says that she enjoys making such visits. She is now retired from competitive sport and admitted that she has not stood on a diving board since the Rio Olympics. She had been thinking that she might remain in the sport for another year to compete in the world championships but having no definite goal, she retired. “It was a good time to leave,” she said about her retirement decision. And now, six months after the Rio Olympics, she says that she has no regrets at all about retiring. She has started a business, an “Escape Room-type” game business called “Immersia” which she says is going very well. It is a family enterprise involving her brother and other relatives, with the idea for the business evolving after an experience at a bachelorette party. Roseline says that the worlds of business and sports are similar in that the same skills are needed such as being able to plan and organize, working toward goals and never giving up. It is simply a matter of directing all of those skills and effort used in sports into another direction. But, besides starting a business, Roseline wanted to stay involved in her sport of diving, although she does not want to coach. She recently served as a commentator for Radio-Canada at a competition and loved it, so this may be how she stays connected with the sport. She says that she would love to be a commentator at the next Olympics. Indeed, it was the Olympics which started Roseline on her 20-year diving career. She remembers as a nine year old watching the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta on television and specifically seeing Annie Pelletier diving and winning the bronze medal in the women’s three-metre springboard event. She decided then and there that she wanted to be like Annie and she immediately got into diving, a decision which eventually led to her own three Olympic appearances and two Olympic bronze medals. by john curry

Games, she was one of those who dove into the now infamous “green water” in the pool there. She noted that she had trained for four years for her day of diving at the Rio Olympics and she ended up diving into green coloured water. But she and diving partner Meaghan Benfeito ended up winning the bronze medal green

water or not. In her diving career, Roseline has also won three world championship medals, three World Cup medals, three Commonwealth Games medals, three Pan-American Games medals and 37 Grand Prix medals. She has also won 12 Canadian national championship titles.

This year will be one of celebration for the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club. The local club is observing its 40th anniversary, the international organization is commemorating a century of service and of course no one can forget 2017 is Canada’s sesquicentennial. “It’s a bang up year,” said Lions charter member and past president Tom Flood. “It’s a year for a lot of celebrations.” The Lions will host two special events this year on top of its regular programming; first up is the local club’s 40th Charter Night on Saturday, May 6, at the Lion Dick Brulé Community Centre. Then on June 10, the Lions will host a full day of events during its Celebrate Canada Family Festival as part of the Canada 150 festivities. GIVING BACK

The charter gala event, for past and present members, is “to celebrate our 40 years and certainly to highlight the last five years of our activities here,” said Lions member and past-president Tom Feltmate. The Lions have raised more than $750,000 for various community groups, institutions and organizations over the past four decades. On average, the club puts $30,000 back into the local community every year. “Lions clubs collectively are the world’s largest service organization and the focus is service to the community,” said Linda Leinan, president of the Lions. “Our motto is ‘We serve.’” The Lions were instrumental in funding and building a number of facility improvements throughout Kanata, particularly in the early years. The group was responsible for building the hall in the Jack Charron Arena where the Kanata Sports Club resides, as well as installing Plexiglas around the ice surface and

making the arena more accessible with a ramp and elevator. The Lions built an addition on the Lion Dick Brulé Community Centre (named after a charter member) to provide the Kanata Youth Centre with a permanent location. The group donated four vans to municipal services – two to the former Kanata OPP detachment, one to the former Kanata fire department, and the last to the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Over the past five years, the Lions purchased $25,000 worth of special diagnostic equipment for the Ottawa Eye Institute; donated $15,000 to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata; and is in its fourth year of a

“Lions clubs collectively are the world’s largest service organization and the focus is service to the community.” Linda Leinan, president, Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club

$25,000 donation to the Acute Care for the Elderly unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. Last year, the group raised $17,000 for the Lions Clubs of Canada’s Dog Guide School, which raises and trains dog guides for people who have disabilities and health issues, such as seizures and diabetes. On top of fundraising efforts, members collect and donate thousands of pairs of eyeglasses for people in Third World countries. They also visit Kanata schools to provide free vision testing for students. And every year the Lions host the Kanata Santa Claus Parade as well as a winter carnival. “That’s what this whole service club thing is – it’s giving back to the community,” said Flood. See LIONS, page 29

The 40th Charter Night will feature a cocktail reception, beginning at 6 p.m. and prime rib dinner. Tickets for the event are $35, with a deadline to order of May 1. Brian Goudge will be guest speaker at the gala event. Goudge spent 33 years working in public education and now works as a consultant in a number of fields, most recently in travel consulting. A charter member of the Kinsman Club of Kanata, he served as president of the OttawaCarleton Learning Foundation and has served as the voice of the Capital City Speedway for the past 45 years. To order tickets, call Graham Ball at 613-254-5777 or Pearl Brulé at 613-836-2479.

The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club is always looking for new people to join. The current club has about 30 members, ranging in age from mid-20s to 104. “We’re seeing quite a resurgence, people are again looking at what I can do,” said Feltmate. “Newer members will bring a little bit of a different perspective.” For more information on the Lions or for details on upcom-

FAMILY FESTIVAL

On June 10, the Lions will celebrate all things Canadian with its Celebrate Canada Family Festival. The party will begin with a pedestrian and bicycle parade from the Jack Charron Arena to the Lions’ Den at 170 Castlefrank Rd. People are encouraged to dress up in period costumes or “Super Canuck” outfits and to decorate their bicycles and wagons in red and white, said Leinan. Prizes will be awarded for best costumes and bike decorations. Activities will include a magic show, dance performances and interactive classes, live music and sing-a-longs, storytime with the Ottawa Public Library, a petting zoo, basketball and ball hockey games, outdoor games such as tug-of-war, three-legged races, a bouncy obstacle course, face painting, a mobile museum and more. “The last part of the event will be an hour of Canadian trivia,” said Leinan. “We hope to get a good, good turnout.” More details will be available closer to the date. The two events take place at the Lion Dick Brulé Community Centre, located at 170 Castlefrank Rd.

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

Q: I am the owner of a corporation operating a construction business. I am considering issuing my employees a small number of shares of my corporation. Is this a good idea? This is a surprisingly complex question. There are some very good reasons why employee ownership may benefit a business and its current owners. Benefits include: empowering employees to think as an owner, encouraging bottom-line performance to drive profits, creating a pool of potential acquirers of the business for liquidation and succession, creating a culture of transparency and accountability, among other benefits. There are also some significant risks and downsides. You are used to running your own show, responsible to no-one but yourself. Once you have other shareholders, you have fiduciary obligations to consider that may impact things such as - how much you pay yourself. Your corporation has a statutory obligation to provide annual financial statements to all shareholders – do you want your employees to have access to that information? Your corporation is required to hold annual meetings where your actions may be questioned. There are other concerns as well. What happens to the shares of an employee when he or she leaves employment with your company? What happens if you decide to sell

your corporation to a buyer that wants 100% of the shares and you have an employee who doesn’t want to sell his or her shares, or has disappeared and cannot be found? Some of these issues may be addressed in a shareholders’ agreement that may provide, for example, the right of the corporation to purchase the shares of the employee on termination of employment, or to “carry-along” all of the shares of the employee to a purchaser that seeks to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares. Some issues however, such as the obligation of the corporation to provide annual financial statements, cannot be waived. We advise our clients to carefully consider the desired benefits of employee ownership against the risks and costs, and strongly urge our clients not to issue options or shares to employees without first implementing a shareholders’ agreement that governs certain the rights and obligation of shareholders. An experienced corporate lawyer can provide you with the assistance you need in carefully considering this decision.

Malala’s historic visit draws young fans to Parliament Hill Advocate of girls’ education addresses Parliament, receives honourary citizenship BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Toting homemade signs, dozens of Ottawa residents gathered outside Parliament Hill to serve as an ad hoc but enthusiastic welcoming committee to greet Pakistani education advocate Malala Yousafzai. “Malala is an international treasure,” said Riverside South resident Scheherzade Van Aarle, one of three generations of women in her family who formed an ad-hoc welcoming committee in hopes of catching a glimpse of Malala Yousafzai on Parliamant Hill on April 12. The group of dozens of Ottawa residents also featured dance numbers by students from Barrhaven’s Michaëlle-Jean French public school. “I think she’s such a great role model for the girls now,” said Van Aarle, standing behind a barrier at the foot of the Centre Block steps with her daughter, Duniya, and mother, Musarrat Rana, who proudly carried the flag of Pakistan, her home country and that of Malala. That was where Malala was

shot in the head by Taliban assailants when she was 15 years old. Even at such a young age she had become an outspoken advocate for the right of girls to attend school. In the wake of that nearfatal shooting, Malala became an international role model and continued to push for the advancement of the rights of women and girls to attend school. For her efforts, she was made a co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest ever to win this. “She’s extraordinary what she came back from,” said Van Aarle, prompting agreement from her mother. “She’s holding our flag up (figuratively), that’s the least to say,” Rana said. Their daughter and granddaughter, Duniya, was apprehensive about missing school for the event, but Van Aarle and Rana both wanted the nine-year-old to witness a historical moment and perhaps have the chance to see Malala, who represents a strong voice for girls.

Music is good medicine: come see on May 13 Celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday and the very fact that we have made it through a long dreary winter Would you consider coral singing to be an ultimate exercise for your health, both physically and mentally? It is. Sight reading and learning new songs constantly stimulates the brain and increases memory. Choral singing promotes a healthy life style similar to yoga—deep breathing and correct posture (both sitting and standing). Sustaining long notes increases lung capacity, opens the rib cage allowing for more oxygen and singing with emotion releases endorphins. Simply looking forward to weekly rehearsals and the camaraderie with fellow voices boosts one’s well-being.

Whether standing or sitting tall while singing, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are a healthy, happy group of singers that love to sing for themselves and for others. With 2017 being the year to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday and the very fact that we have made it through a long dreary winter, this spring’s concert From Sea To Sea To Sea is a time to sing for joy. The chorus, directed by Robert Dueck and accompanied by Peter Brown will present a repertoire of songs that capture the spirit of this vast land from coast to coast.

Whether standing on the headland of Cape St. Mary’s located on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland in the well known folk song called “Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary’s” by Otto P. Kelland or swaying with the “Canadian Boat Song” composed by the Irish poet Thomas Moore following a visit to Canada in 1804 or swaying with boatsresting in a harbour on the west coast as depicted in “Away from the Roll of the Sea,” written by Allister MacGillivray, the choir will sing their way across Canada. Special guests, the Carleton Place Town Singers will also sing the praises of Canada.

The audience can join in, increase their oxygen intake and swell their lungs with pride singing “This Land is Your Land” and other favoutites. Tickets for this exciting evening on May 13, 7 p.m. at Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Dr. are available at Gaia Java, 1300 Main St. Stittsville; Kanata Barbershop, 2 Beaverbrook Rd., Kanata; Kanata Cleaners, 1029 Teron Rd., Kanata and Baker Bob’s, 73 Bridge St. Almonte.

‘She stood up for all of us’ Continued from page 31

“She stood up for all of us in such a way you should never forget,” Rana said, adding that it is critical that the 19-year-old’s inspiring message be passed to the next generation. Malala’s trip to Ottawa began with a surprise morning visit to Ridgemont High School in Alta Vista where she addressed the student body. Also in attendance were Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Maryam Monsef, federal minister of the Status of Women, and MarieClaude Bibeau, minister of International Development and la Francophonie. They were scheduled to take part in a question-and-answer session with students to speak on education and gender equality. Malala was then zipped downtown to address Parliament, the youngest person ever to do so. The prime

minister also presented her with honourary Canadian citizenship. She was actually granted that honour in October 2014, but the ceremony was delayed by the Parliament Hill shooting. “The people of Canada are leading the world in their response to the refugee crisis,” Malala said in a statement in the lead-up to her visit to Ottawa. “I am honoured by Parliament's invitation and look forward to visiting this great nation of heroes.” Trudeau planned to meet with Malala and speak on the importance of empowering girls through education and how they can “actively contribute to the sustainable development of their communities and countries.” “Ms. Yousafzai’s courageous response to those who threatened her life, and her advocacy for girls’ education, has inspired many millions of people around the world,” Trudeau said in a statement in the day’s leading up to

36 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 20, 2017

the ceremony. “Her story is one of determination and dignity, and Canada is proud to call her an honorary citizen of this great country.” It is for that reason that Alta Vista’s Lindsey Barr brought her children and others from Alta Vista Public School to the steps of Parliament Hill. It was an historical moment the children could learn from “to show Malala that we value education for girls as well,” said Barr, the founder of World-Changing Kids, which strives to bring together kids to work on projects and initiatives to make the world a better place. Malala also serves as an important role model for boys, Barr noted. “(It gives) the children the experience of seeing a youth leader, to empower them, to know that she is so young but can make a difference.” Malala is one of just six people to receive an honourary citizenship.

DREAM TEAM

Make your digital declaration at airport BY Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Passengers landing on international flights at Ottawa's airport can say goodbye to airline staff walking up and down plane aisles handing out declaration cards. On March 20, the Ottawa International Airport was the first in Canada to eliminate the paper cards. New electronic kiosks are ready to greet passengers. Passengers can either download a mobile app to enter their information ahead of time, or scan their passport and go through a series of questions in the language of their choice FOR SALE

when they get off the plane. If passengers use the app, they will receive a code they can scan when they get to the kiosk. The app and kiosk ask questions about what is being brought into Canada, where travellers are coming from, how long they’ve been gone, and other standard questions generally asked on declaration forms. The kiosks use facial recognition to flag anyone without a matching passport. “All told, my kids would say it’s very cool,” said CBSA president John Ossowski.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Happy Passover and Easter! This year Passover and Easter coincide. These two ancient holidays are at the centre of Judaism and Christianity. In different ways, both holidays commemorate deliverance from bondage and oppression. The story of the exodus from Egypt and the death and resurrection of Christ have inspired us for thousands of years. It’s fitting that both Passover and Easter are synchronized. But we are doubly luckily because, this spring, both eastern and western Easters also coincide. At this time of year, people will be looking forward to spending time with their families and observing their ancient traditions. We are blessed to be able to do so in a free and tolerant society. So I’m very pleased to wish everyone a very happy Passover and Easter!

The number of travellers crossing Canadian borders has been rising by 3.5 per cent a year, Ossowski said, and technology is a way to keep up with the demands on the CBSA. “Our systems already know who we want to focus our attention on,” he told reporters after the news conference. Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said the technology will free up agents “to focus efforts on mitigating risks.” There have been some concerns about the privacy of the new kiosks, though Ossowski said CBSA staff feel privacy is properly protected. At the kiosks, all the information is encrypted before it is sent to CBSA and deleted from the machines, he said. According to the disclaimer in the app, the information will be shared with other government departments and agencies for legal reasons, or simply statistical reporting. Ottawa wanted to be the first airport to have the kiosks, despite knowing it could come with growing pains, said Ottawa International Airport Authority president and CEO Mark Laroche. “We were eager to be the first airport on the list for deployment — in actual fact, we were harassing the CBSA quite a bit to be first,” Laroche said. “We were very pleased to be selected.”

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Paul Gray gives a demonstration of how the new CBSA kiosks work on April 11 at the Ottawa International Airport. The kiosks take a photo to use facial recognition to make sure a person is using the correct documents. Paper declaration cards are still available in case they are needed; passengers on an incoming flight during the media demonstration in the kiosk

area went through border security the good old-fashioned way with paper slips. The Ottawa airport also has hired customer service staff to

help passengers with the online kiosks. Nine Canadian airports are expected to roll out the kiosks by the end of 2017.

Now that winter’s freeze has loosened its grip on us, it’s time to turn our thoughts to more springlike endeavours. While the last of the snow still hangs on in spots, the signs of rebirth are all around: the birds are chirping loudly, the first daffodils are peeking from the ground and backyard barbecues have emerged from hibernation. So what better time than now to start looking for that new home? Maybe you’re the head of a young family looking for that new residence near schools and other amenities. Or you’re simply looking to expand your living space, growing out of a tight townhouse to a singledetached home with more property to call your own? As we’ve mentioned before in this space, Ottawans are fortunate to live in a community many of Canada’s best builders call home. With that in mind, there is no shortage of newhome options available across the city. But where do you turn to get your search started? That’s where we come in. Welcome again to Floor Plan, a monthly supplement found in your Metroland community newspaper. Throughout these pages, you’ll find information on some of the latest designs brought forward by the most innovative builders in Canada. Whether it’s the hottest trends you’re after or a touch of tradition, Floor Plan gives you the information you need to make an informed decision. And be sure to check out our next edition of Floor Plan in our May 18, 2017 Metroland newspapers.

STEP BY STEP: Organize your garage and open up space Steps to a more organized, functional garage Organization can help homeowners transform their homes into less cramped, more spacious oases without forcing them to finance potentially expensive expansion projects. Homeowners who park in their driveways may find that their garages have become crowded, cluttered spaces in which searching for tools can feel like scouring a haystack in search of a needle. Organizing a garage can create extra room in a home while affording homeowners the chance to protect their vehicles from the elements. Homeowners who want to turn their garages into something more than cluttered storage units can employ the following strategies to transform these largely overlooked areas into more valuable spaces.

• Host a garage sale. Homeowners who want to organize their garages and make a buck at the same time can host garage sales. Make only those items that are still functional available for purchase, and let neighbors and bargain hunters do the bulk of your organization work for you. • Designate areas of the garage for certain items. Once the items that won’t be going back into the garage have been sold, donated or discarded, organize the garage by designating areas for certain items, making sure to separate items that can pose safety risks. For example, store kids’ bicycles and outdoor toys in a corner of the garage that is opposite the

corner where potentially dangerous items such as power tools and gas cans will be stored. Keep the center of the garage open for vehicles. • Periodically park cars in the garage. Homeowners who are comfortable parking their vehicles in their driveways can improve their chances of maintaining organized garages over the long haul by periodically parking in the garage. Doing so not only prevents the gradual buildup of clutter that can slowly take over a garage, but also protects homeowners’ automotive investments. Maintaining an organized garage can help homeowners make more practical use of the space in their homes.

Ready to work

• Choose the right day. Garages tend to be separate from the rest of the homes they’re a part of, meaning the only way to organize a garage is to ﬁrst remove all items from the garage and into the driveway. Because items removed from the garage will be exposed to the elements, homeowners should choose a day that’s temperate and sunny to clean their garages. If possible, homeowners should opt to organize their garages in late spring, summer or early fall when there are additional hours of daylight. This protects homeowners from having to work in the dark should the job take longer than they initially anticipated. • Discard or donate duplicate items. Duplicate items are some of the main culprits behind cluttered garages. As garages gradually become more cluttered, homeowners may buy tools they already have simply because they cannot ﬁnd their original tools. When organizing the garage, create separate piles for duplicate tools, placing still-useful items in a pile that can be donated to neighbors, local charities or organizations and another pile for old tools that are no longer useful.

Bring the GREEN indoors: Houseplants can clEaN iNdooR aiR Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress. Published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors. But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.

Breathe easy

Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality. • Aloe vera: Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem

growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes. • Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene. • English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was

RiNG iN THE spRiNG with a new bistro set Take a table, add two chairs and voilà: you’ve got yourself a bistro set. Specially designed for outdoor use, a bistro set allows you to soak up the sun and feel the fresh air from the comfort of your balcony or patio. Either on your own or with a friend, it’s finally time to savour the arrival of spring, fresh lemonade or soothing tea in hand.

Materials

Patio bistro sets need to withstand the fading, rust and mould that all outdoor furniture is subjected to. They’re usually built out of one of the following: • Steel 4 Floor Plan - Thursday, April 20, 2017

• Aluminum • Wicker • Ceramic • Resin • Polyester • Rattan

• Glass

Designed to combine functionality, durability and elegance, bistro sets are available in a variety of styles (rustic, urban, minimalist, etc.) to fit every homeowner’s needs. Before you head to the stores, however, make sure to properly measure the space where you intend to set up your furniture. It would be a shame to find the perfect ensemble, only to realize that it doesn’t fit on your balcony.

English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products. • Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene.

Relax

Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.

Hillside Vista towns going fast, making way for Condo Flats The hottest townhome location in east Ottawa is almost sold out.

Phoenix Homes Hillside Vista in Orléans is down to the last few townhomes. With stunning views of the beautiful Gatineau Hills, conveniently located between Place d’Orléans shopping center and beautiful Petrie Island Beach, Hillside Vista is urban living only steps from hundreds of shops and restaurants as well as trails and gorgeous beach sunsets. The Townhomes offer two or three bedrooms and feature a separate family room, open concept kitchen, living and dining rooms, as well as a single car garage and backyard. Only 52 townhomes were offered in this exclusive community. “Our brand-new designs have amazing curb appeal with full brick fronts accented with French balconies,” says Phoenix Homes Vice-President Rahul Kochar. There’s still time to enjoy a new townhome and all the amenities in this stunning community— the YMCA, Shenkman Arts Centre, Medical/Dental offices and Major OC Transpo stations are all within walking distance. “We have just opened the “Highland Corner” model townhome at 500 De La Recolte Private in the townhome portion of the community.” Hillside Vista borders on a thriving urban area with more than 20 restaurants to choose from, near Place D’Orleans Shopping Centre and a wide range of grocery stores, as well as schools and churches. And when it comes to recreation, check out Complexe recreatif Ray Friel Recreation Complex or nearby White Sands Golf Course & Practice Centre, Orleans Bowling Centre, Millenium Sport Park, Innes Road Golfland, Landmark Cinemas and other area attractions. Stop in to the sales office 500 De La Recolte Private, Orléans, or check www.Phoenixhomes.ca to learn more about the townhouses still available. But don’t wait long, they will be gone! Coming soon…Hillside Vista Condo Flats Shortly to be released at Hillside Vista, Phoenix Homes is proud to unveil their latest design in executive style condo flats. Equipped with elevators and climate controlled, convenient underground parking, the five buildings with 18 units each, 90 units in total, are the center of a phased-in condominium community plan. Condo flats will start in the low $200,000’s, reflecting the latest in affordable design and high quality construction. The condo flats at Hillside Vista are three storeys, with six units per floor. They feature one or two large carpeted bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom off the master, bright and spacious open concept living room/ dining room with hardwood floors, large kitchen with island, a den and laundry/utility room. Each unit will have one parking space in the garage, with additional outside space available for purchase. All but two units per building will have spacious private balconies, and corner units have unique balconies with panoramic views. Central air is included in all units and appliances will be included for a limited number of first units sold. Condo flats offer convenient, single floor living complete with in-unit laundry, ideal for someone looking for a very cost effective alternative to bungalow living. “Hillside Vista Flats are very affordable and have the benefit of a heated garage and elevator access that you would pay much more for in a larger condominium building. You also have a more intimate living scenario with a chance to really get to know your neighbour.” The Hillside Vista community features a community park including gazebo and picnic area, all only

minutes away from a wide array of restaurants and shopping, recreation facilities, trails and more. “There are plenty of options through our design centre for people to choose their own style and level of final finishing. Owners will get to pick all of their finishings and the standard specifications are very impressive.” “Our new Virtual Reality software will allow people to walk through these units when it is released in the coming months.” Rahul Kochar and Phoenix Homes is proud to be on the threshold of opening the door to a new future in home design.

“Ottawa home design is really starting to get exciting,” he said. “It is changing faster than ever before, fueled by a new generation of buyers.” The DCR/Phoenix Group of Companies is proud of the major role it has played since 1988, shaping the face of Canada’s Capital through its numerous innovative housing, commercial, and land development projects, and plans to continue this tradition of quality well into the future.

Things to consider before DOWNSIZING your home The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of

Real estate market

The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be ﬁckle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale.

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to ﬁt into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your ﬁrst visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without.

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may ﬁnd that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family.

An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will ﬁt into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

Furniture

downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

M O V E

• • • • • •

Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not ﬂush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

‘It’s not only a wall’: Franc-Cité mural fosters ‘common ground’ By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Franco-Cité’s walls are talking. A new mural that now adorns one large wall inside the Riverview Park-based French Catholic secondary school tells more than one story and is a reflection of what approximately 14 students in Grades 9 to 12 have learned about aboriginal culture. “This mural is all about common ground,” Grade 12 student Michelle Landry said prior to the mural’s unveiling on April 12. “I originally thought that we were going to be painting what the artist had presented to us, but instead … she wanted everything to do with our ideas,” said Michelle, who served as the student leader on the school’s art internship project. The process began with a discussion between the students and Vanier graffiti artist Dominique Boisvenue about the Anishinaabe, one of Canada’s First Nations. “We actually abolished a lot

of stereotypes in our heads of what the culture is,” Michelle said, adding that she also learned that aboriginal culture includes First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The artist shared details about her culture and her own identity. That led to a brainstorming session that helped the students develop their vision for the mural. COAST TO COAST

The colourful creation, which was developed and painted in a week, is called “From One Ocean to Another” and offers a visual representation of Canada, from coast to coast to coast. The central figure of the mural is a falcon, which is the school’s mascot. Other creatures include the snowy owl, a beaver and a lobster. Michelle said the art internship was a perfect fit for her since she hopes to study environmental science after she graduates high school “... because you mix people who are living with the land and cities and what the common ground

is.” Boisvenue, who regularly works in schools, said art brings people together and encourages learning and collaboration. “It’s a way to communicate without language or words,” she said. “So it’s way more accessible.” Maryse Paquette, FrancoCité’s culture co-ordinator, helped organize the internship. “It’s in the air of the time,” she said of aboriginal issues and culture, adding that when classes resumed last August, she noticed posters inviting students to identify themselves as First Nations, Métis and Inuit. She then spoke with a school board official, and their discussions were inspiring. “I found this very fascinating,” Paquette said. “When I think about the 150th anniversary of Confederation, it’s not of the nation, it’s not of the country — maybe the political country, yes.” That prompted her to develop a project that would celebrate Canada’s milestone,

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Michelle Landry, a Grade 12 student at Franco-Cité French Catholic Secondary School, stands in front of a new aboriginal-inspired mural she and about 14 other students unveiled on April 12. but in a way that pays tribute to aboriginal cultures. “It’s not only a wall,” said

Paquette. “I learned a lot about native people and the difference between appropria-

tion and inspiration. We got inspired by the native artist. We didn’t copy them.”

Latin American Film Festival will send political message: director BY Victoria St. Michael Victoria.StMichael@metroland.com

Victoria St. Michael/Metroland

Canadian Film Institute executive director Tom McSorley said he hopes this year’s Latin American Film Festival will promote cultural exchange in today’s turbulent political climate. The launch event for the festival, held at the Arts Court downtown on April 12, included pop-up performances by local Latin dancers and musicians.

Cultural exchange and inclusivity will illuminate Ottawa as the 21st annual Latin American Film Festival hits screens from April 26 to May 13. Canadian Film Institute executive director Tom McSorley said there's a turbulent international political climate. Hosting a film festival that promotes interest in people and cultures around the world will send a message of inclusivity that the world needs right now, said McSorley during the festival launch on April 12. McSorley’s desire to use film as a tool to send a message was inspired by actor Liam Neeson in 1991 at the World Film Festival. It was around the time of the first Gulf War, after the United States attacked Iraqi forces that occupied Kuwait. There was international violence similar to what the world is experiencing now, said McSorley.

“He said ‘People think film festivals are so trivial, but now they’re more important than ever,’” McSorley recalled. “I think he was saying that international cultural exchange is essential to avoid violent military conflict. We can go see a film from Iran or wherever and get a better sense of the people who live there. I think that was really brilliant, because at least we can do this.” The Latin American Film Festival is a collaboration between the Canadian Film Institute, the Group of Latin American Ambassadors and Carleton University, where 17 films will be premiered during the festival at Richcraft Hall. The festival will include films from production centres big and small, from various countries including Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Haiti. They will be presented in their local languages with English subtitles. See FILM, page 51

Film festival hopes to promote cultural exchange and acceptance Continued from page 50

McSorley said the festival was born out of his own crazy passion for Latin American culture and the realization that the distribution of Latin American cinema in Ottawa is severely limited. “I love the films that I see when I go to festivals in Toronto or Berlin or wherever, so I thought, 'What’s the best way to promote it and show it in Ottawa? Start a festival!’ So that’s what I did,” he said. McSorley’s love of Latin American culture showed at the launch, which included pop-up performances by local Latin dancers and musicians. “People forget that Ottawa is filled with embassies

and people interested in the world beyond Canada,” said McSorley. Festival tickets will be available online and at the box office 30 minutes before each screening. General admission will be $13, or $9 for CFI members, students and seniors. The full schedule, descriptions of the films that will be featured and more information about tickets and passes are available at www.cfi-icf.ca/ laff. This year screenings look at issues facing society such as LGBTQ rights, the chaos of war and crime and classism. These themes bring McSorley’s message further into

the spotlight, proving that film can be used to bring attention to important issues. He says he just hopes it will make a difference. “We have this crazy president who says ‘Let’s build the borders even stronger’ and a film festival like this completely argues against that,” said McSorley. “I think a film festival, however modestly, can introduce people to the other ways that people live around the world and specifically in Latin America. Hopefully this little gesture will mean something.” visit us at

The first sign of a mud pout, swimming close to the surface, meant our suppers would soon include the ugly fish, which would just about turn my stomach when I looked at them, either alive or on a platter in the middle of the table. I always said a silent prayer of thanks when either mud pout or blood pudding was on the supper table. Thanks to that Mother, knowing how much I hated both, let me have either dinner leftovers, or a couple hard-boiled eggs and toast. And if my stomach was particularly squeamish, as it was prone to be, I was allowed to have my supper at the bake table, away from where my brother Emerson could contribute to my misery by smacking his lips with every bite, and putting his face as close to mine as he could without a reprimand from Mother.

Sixth annual gala to shine light on local youth Shine a Light on Our Youth event raises funds for youth services, programming BY Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre will host its Shine a Light on Our Youth gala for the sixth year on April 22 at the Centurion Conference Centre. Sandy Wooley, the resource centre's executive director, said the annual event – with its live music, dinner, dancing and auctions – is all about Ottawa’s youth. “The purpose of the event is to help the organization raise funds to directly support our youth and children programming,” she said. “And that includes the afterschool group, social programming, youth counselling and youth advisory.” The resource centre on Merivale Road offers free ser-

vices, support and programming to some of Nepean, Rideau Township and Osgoode’s most vulnerable populations. The bulk of its clients are youths, new Canadian families, and seniors. In its first year, the event raised $8,500. By its fifth event the amount had risen to $22,000, and this year organizers are hoping it will net $25,000 for youth services and support. Some of those services include after-school clubs, youth drop-in programs, the Tools 4 School program and playgroups for children up to age six. The centre’s youth programming is about more than giving kids something to do outside of school though, Wooley said. The centre also offers youth counselling and a youth advisory committee.

The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre’s Shine a Light on Our Youth gala raised $22,000 for the resource centre’s youth programming in 2016. Organizers are hoping to beat that record and raise $25,000 in the event’s sixth year. “It’s just so important to have youth programming,” she said. “Mental health right now is on everyone’s radar and a

lot of the programs we offer are really good for preventing mental health problems. If you’re out there working with other kids … it improves your

mental health.” So centre staff have put together a night of food and music – with performances by local bands the Free Rails, Ra-

diogenic and Wolf Irene, and the Spirit of the Street Youth Choir – that they hope will help the event reach its fundraising goal. If that’s not enough incentive, Wooley said between 70 and 80 items, including Sens tickets, will be up for grabs through a silent auction. A live auction will give bidders the opportunity to win signed Senators jerseys, a dinner for 15 and a Via Rail package for two people to take a round trip to Halifax. Allan Andre, Canada’s top speed painter, will also be on hand painting live. “So people watch his art come to life,” Wooley said. “And then we auction it off in a live auction.” The gala will run from 6 p.m. until midnight and is open to the public. Tickets will be available at the door for $70 each – with a $31 tax receipt – $520 for a table of eight, or $650 for a table of 10, but Wooley said it’s best to purchase tickets in advance at nro crc.wixsite.com/shine-a-light.

3 Quick Tricks to Get Your Home Ready to Sell: 1. Clean and Clear – Clean the Cobwebs, deep clean the carpets, shine up the windows, clear away any clutter. 2. Paint – A bit of paint goes a long way. Stick to neutral tones for interior spaces. 3. Repair and Replace – Walk through your home and look for any creaks and cracks to repair. Replace broken or dated fixtures, replace burned out light bulbs. Please request this entire article by contacting us at 1-844-847-5898 or inquiries@clarkpremiereproperties.com
