WHEn LIFE BECOMEs An ART

DevMcGill, which has been crowned Entrepreneur of the Year and is the winner of the prestigious Montréal Architectural Heritage Award, is a key real estate promoter in Canada. The Arthaus project combines its unmatched savoir-faire and standout audacity.

For the first time in Canada, a residential tower will combine luxury condominiums, an art gallery and a boutique hotel. Residents are immersed in culture in the heart of Ottawa.

SumptuouS condominiumS The 88 condos located between the 15th and 23rd floors (including four penthouses) offer a breathtaking panorama of Ottawa and the surrounding area, no matter where the apartments are located.

On the east are vistas of trees, houses and historic buildings, as well as University of Ottawa campus; on the west, the view of downtown, Parliament and its magical evening spectacles is unbeatable; and finally, on the north the hills surrounding the Ottawa Valley to the north of Gatineau rise proudly on the horizon.

All the condos have at least one bedroom, a living room, a dining room and a bathroom (two in the two-bedroom units) with glassed-in showers and

address of arthaus: 20 DALY AVEnUE, OTTAWA • 84 contemporary style condos between the 15th and 22nd floors starting at $250,000 • 4 penthouses on the 23rd floor, 1,500 to 2,200 square feet (prices starting at $1M) • Fitness room on the 15th floor • Rooftop winter garden and terrace • Indoor parking • secure private entry with concierge service • Room with fireplace, kitchen and dining room available to residents • Eco-responsible approach to construction • near public transit • Bordering the Byward Market, near the Rideau Centre

rainshower showerheads. They also have an elegant open-plan kitchen, the work of Toronto designer U31, with built-in European appliances. Two condominiums can be joined together to provide three bedrooms.

The penthouses have two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room (convenient for guest!), along with a gas stove in a kitchen and an outdoor gas fitting that makes barbecuing easier. A gas fireplace can also be installed.

In order to personalize the décor to their own tastes, owners are invited to chose from a range of top-end finishes selected by famous designers. Besides the choice of materials, they get expert advice on how to configure and personalize their space. On request, an ultramodern home automation system can be installed in the penthouses to control lighting, music and the alarm system.

Another characteristic of these condominiums: exceptional lighting, featuring immense bay windows and ceilings 9 to 10 feet high (14 in the penthouses). Most of these apartments, and all the penthouses, have a balcony or loggia terrace. You’ll feel like you’re practically in the clouds, with the City of Ottawa at your feet! text by diane stehlé (magazine luxe)

A rural seniors health initiative to help residents age in place has received a cash infusion of $183,000 from the federal government.

Rural seniors health initiative receives $183,000 grant Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A rural seniors health initiative to help residents age in place has received a cash infusion of $183,000 from the federal government.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon made the grant announcement at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre on May 19.

“These are the kinds of projects that create a lasting legacy,” said McCrimmon. “Investing in our communities is the key and

that’s why we’re doing this. We want strong individuals we want strong families we want strong communities and all that leads to a stronger country.”

The funds will be used over the course of three years; the first two years will be spent creating and running the program in West Carleton. The WOCRC will then partner with other rural resource centers – Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, Nepean-RideauOsgoode CRC and Rural Ottawa South Support Services – in the final year.

Grant to benefit rural seniors “We’re going to develop a gold standard here at Western Ottawa and we want to share that,� said project lead Julie McKercher.

Dubbed the New Horizons Seniors program, the service will be based on the community helpers program that was developed to help when multiple suicides occurred in West Carleton more than a decade ago. “This grant will provide us with the opportunity to develop structures, processes and training for a program that we’ll be breathing new life into, the community helpers,� said McKercher.

Coffee house a success McGee. The audience had a great time singing along.

The hall was set up to reflect a coffee house environment complete with beautifully created posters on the walls depicting various band photos and articles.

Whiteman was born in Montreal.

He has been a member of several bands, toured with Maple Leaf review and plays acoustic guitar and banjo.

He keeps the audience entertained between songs with his witty anecdotes.

Few was born in Wimbledon, England and was a member of the rock band, the Vostoks in London (U.K.), for about seven years, beginning in his teens.

He plays several types of guitars – electric, bass, and 6 and 12-string acoustic and also keyboards.

Included in the ticket price was a “great cup of coffee generously donated

by Starbucks and a sweet treat.”

The concert raised over $1,600 for the CFUW Kanata scholarship fund. The fund provides scholarships to high school girls in Kanata who have been accepted to university or college and need financial assistance.

Another coffee house morning is planned for the end of next April.

“As this year’s event sold out, get your tickets early,” advises the CFUW.

Tickets for the event at St. John’s Anglican Church were sold out two weeks ahead of time. The duo Revival sang familiar songs from the ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond.

Hal Whiteman and Ian Few have been getting together to make music for about five years.

Few did a reprise of The Streets of London which people had requested from the performance last year.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review I would like to congratulate long time music teacher at Holy Trinity, Neil Bateman on his retirement. This year will be Neil’s final year at Holy Trinity where he has spent many years teaching our children. Neil and students have played at many events around Kanata and the City and have even come to City Hall to perform the National Anthem before Council. Thank you for the many years of teaching and community involvement and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the years to come.

Fires in Parks Residents have recently reported fires at night in wooded park areas within our community and we need your help to ensure this activity stops. The woods between the Eva James Centre and Furlong and the woods off Castlefrank and Tamblyn seem to be areas that are of particular concern.

If you witness a fire being started, please call 911 to report it and help to mitigate the possibility of the fire spreading.

Parents, if you know of local youth who are known to hang out at these locations, please speak with them about fire safety and ensure that they know that ‘bonfires’ are not permitted in our parks.

As the woods become dry in the coming weeks, the risk of fire spreading quickly increases as does the potential for injuries and loss of property. To prevent a dangerous fire in our community please call 911 if you see fire.

Yoga in the Park I am very excited to be partnering with Beyond Yoga Studio and Wellness Centre to offer FREE Yoga in the Park classes, Saturdays in June, ending off with a special Canada Day class on July 1st! Please join me at one or all of the below classes: • Saturday June 11th, 9 - 10am, Clarence Maheral Park (Glen Cairn) • Saturday June 18 , 9 - 10am, Kristina Kiss Park (Trailwest) th

For more information please call Beyond Yoga at 613-591-9642.

Upcoming Events

Hospital has Hopes Rising Continued from page 1

But the hospital is working to change that, and it got a little closer to its reaching goal on May 16 with a $100,000 donation from the Ottawa Senators Foundation for its Hopes Rising campaign for improved mental health services.

The campaign’s honourary chairs, Senators defenceman Chris Phillips and his wife Erin Phillips, and Do It for Daron founders Luke and Stephanie Richardson presented the donation in a gathering at the hospital on May 16.

“Ottawa Senators have been long time supporters and friends of QCH,” said Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation president Melanie Adams.

“They live and work in our community and have their babies in our hospital…and it’s an organization that’s been touched with mental health very close to home, and so they’re passionate about the work that’s being done to support many mental health initiatives in our community.”

The Hopes Rising campaign was launched in February to support an extensive renovation of the hospital’s aging mental health ward.

It aims to raise $5 million of the $9.7 that the renovation is estimated to cost.

In addition to improving the hospital’s outdated mental health facility – for the first time since its construction in 1976 – the project will enhance the hospital’s emergency programs and services, and strengthen connections to community mental health support services.

While the ward hasn’t changed much in its 40 years,

its role in the community has as the demand for mental health services at the hospital has continued to grow.

The hospital has seen a 28 per cent increase in mental health admissions since 2012, and a 25 per cent increase in patients with mental diagnosis through the emergency department in that same period.

“We need more,” said Chris Phillips during the May 16 gathering. “We need better facilities here, we need more programs, we need more emergency services.

The people here are doing an amazing job in all they can, but we have to help them out.”

Both couples – the Chris and Erin Phillips and the Richardsons – took the opportunity to share stories of their own experiences with mental illness. Phillips referred to friends who had lost their battle with mental illness, and friends who are still fighting.

Luke Richardson, a former Ottawa Senators player, and wife Stephanie reminded the crowd that their daughter Daron had quietly struggled with mental illness before her death by suicide in 2010.

Both identified mental health services as an essential aspect of healthcare, and pledged their support for the hospital and its campaign.

“For the Queensway Carleton (Hospital) to make this a priority, we really are quite proud to be involved in it,” Stephanie Richardson said.

“When Erin (Phillips) asked, it was an absolute ‘yes.’”

bution made to the hospital’s Hopes Rising campaign since it was launched in February.

Adams announced the campaign’s first contribution – a $1-million donation from mental health advocate Barbara Crook and her husband Dan Greenberg – on the day the campaign was launched.

In April, the Garrett family – namesakes of the hospital’s Garrett Family Surgical Centre – donated another $500,000. Carey and Nancy Garrett had previously sponsored the hospital’s new surgical centre. After touring the existing mental health ward, they decided that the campaign to update it needed their help.

“The Queensway Carleton Hospital’s mental health staff does a great job, but their facilities just are no longer adequate to the task,” Carey Garrett said in a news release.

“Given increasing demand for mental health services in the community and a greater focus within society to improve mental health outcomes, this unit deserves a state of the art facility. We hope to be a part of achieving that goal.”

FORMAL ENDORSEMENT

In an April 12 meeting, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network’s board of directors voted to endorse the renovation and service elements outlined in a pre-capital submission by the hospital for the mental health department’s redevelopment.

Because local health integration networks plan, integrate and fund local health care, the Champlain LHIN’s support will be integral at several points during the evolution of the hospital’s reno-

vation campaign, although Adams has said that public funding for the campaign is not likely.

So far, the submission approved by the board of directors proposes renovating and expanding the existing mental health ward, moving its current 24 beds to the former Acute Care of the Elderly Unit and adding an acute day hospital program, which could accommodate 2,300 visits per year.

The submission also included a tentative plan to increase the ward’s bed capacity.

According to a report presented to the board during the April 12 meeting, a 2015 internal review found the hospital’s existing mental health facilities in need of upgrading in order to meet current and future demands for adequate mental health services.

Currently, patients in the department’s drab in-patient facility face privacy issues because the facility cannot adequately separate patients from other mental health patients in crisis who sometimes arrive late at night or with a police escort.

Adams addressed these pressures faced by the hospital during the May 16 gathering, simultaneously thanking sponsors for their donations, and urging the public to follow their example.

“Unfortunately, there has been a tremendous increase in those who are presenting with very, very acute mental health issues at our hospital,” she said. “Our in patient unit was never purpose built as a mental health unit.”

Young Kanata actors go in search of Holy Grail in Spamalot

Young actors will go in search of the Holy Grail in Spamalot Young@Part, produced

by Kanata Theatre Kids Productions.

The cast of 19 performers , ranging in age from 13 to 18 years old, will take to the stage on June 3 and 4 for the play, which is “lovingly ripped off from” the 1975 film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The performance parodies the Arthurian legend by following the trials of King Arthur and his servant/horse, Patsy, as they wander the countryside in search of candidates to join the Knights of the Round Table.

In spite of receiving no respect from anyone, including his subjects, eventually Arthur recruits a motley crew including the strangely flatulent Sir Bedevere, the dashingly handsome Sir Galahad, the homicidally brave Sir Lancelot and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-SoBrave-As-Sir-Lancelot.

Kanata’s Jared Wagner, 17, will play the part of Sir Lancelot.

“The KT Kids is a fun experience for me,” said Jared, a 12-year veteran of Kanata Theatre Kids Productions. “I enjoy reading along with my comrades, banging our coconuts; singing and dancing is the height of the show for me.”

The camaraderie is also a big draw for Kanata’s Daniel Williams, who plays King Arthur.

“Its hilariously fun and immensely rewarding to work and learn with such unique group of individuals. All members of this program have grown in ways we could never have imagined before,” said the 18-year-old who attends Bell High School.

Williams has been a member of KT Kids for 12 years and said this production is a good time.

“Spamalot is a great story, with everything ranging from evil bunnies to prancing Knights to heartfelt ballads and so, as said in the musical, ‘Let’s go to Camelot,’” he said.

As in the movie there are many obstacles to overcome in search of the Grail, including dealing with Not Dead Fred, the Knights Who Say Ni, Tim the Enchanter and the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog to mention a few.

Grade 12 Earl of March Secondary School student Laura Van Wyngaarden, of Kanata, will play the Lady of the Lake.

“Being the oldest member of the group, I really enjoy seeing the skills others develop throughout the years,” said the 18-year-old, who’s been with the youth group for six years.

“There is always such positive energy in the room, it’s always a joy to enter the building with friends. People should come and see Spamalot because of the great people acting in it and the high energy.”

The KT teens are the first group to license the Young@Part version of the show, which has been tailored to target a more youthful audience.

KANATA, ONTARIO (May 17, 2016) – Local furniture shoppers will be surprised to see what La-Z-Boy has in store for Kanata residents. The iconic furniture company is holding a grand opening celebration of its awardwinning store design starting May 27, 2016 and featuring a shopping experience as comfortable as its famous furniture. The new store – located at 8231 Campeau Drive in Kanata which occupies just over 19,000-square-feet– boasts a remarkable selection of great looking furniture for the entire home, all presented in inspiring room displays organized by lifestyle.

The store represents a new design format for La-Z-Boy, and truly embodies the “Live life comfortablySM” tagline.

“We offer furniture to fit nearly every lifestyle and design, and our beautiful new store in Kanata provides a refreshing new shopping experience for customers,” said David Maxwell store owner. “La-Z-Boy today is so much more than recliners – and customers will really be amazed when they walk into the new store to find bright and colorful displays inviting them to relax and explore.”

To make shopping easy, furniture throughout the store is grouped by style, including “comfortably casual,” “modern retreat,” “traditional elegance” and “classics revisited,” allowing customers to find the look that is perfect for their home.

The new location also offers a large selection of home accents and accessories to help customers create a complete look.

Ottawa residents will also get a chance to see this great new format with the opening of a new location on West Hunt Club Road. Opening near Lowe’s Home Improvements, this store relocated from the corner of Merivale and Hunt Club Rd and will continue to offer residents of Ottawa the inspiration they’re used to with great-looking fully accessorized room displays and dramatic décor ideas.

No Pressure Shopping Both stores also offer two convenient approaches for shoppers who seek design direction. Customers looking to visualize their custom furniture dreams can use interactive design tools to render any La-Z-Boy product in their choice of hundreds of fabric and leather covers. For those who need more inspiration and guidance, La-Z-Boy stores also offer free In-Home Design Assistance from professionals experienced at helping turn design dreams into reality. La-Z-Boy designers will also visit customer’s homes to help them with their design project and advise on styles that will fit comfortably into their home and budget.

“Our associates provide a comfortable shopping environment from selection through delivery,” said Maxwell.

“Consumers can be assured that they will enjoy a comfortable no-pressure experience while at our stores – we’re truly here to help.”

A Grand Celebration The Kanata store will celebrate their grand opening on May 27, 2016.

“The grand opening sale is a great opportunity for Kanata residents to explore the latest in La-Z-Boy furniture,” said Maxwell. “Our team of associates and designers are excited to show everyone how comfortable La-Z-Boy furniture can be custom-fit to any lifestyle.”

Park plan becomes PR disaster for city

I

t should have been a good news story, but instead has become a public relations disaster.

No, not the bench clearing ‘manhandling’ and ‘elbowgate’ rumble last week in the House of Commons. No, this PR faux pas surrounds the plan to build the nation’s largest playground at Mooney’s Bay Park as part of a reality TV show involving kids.

Yes, a TV show project that will leave the city with a destination location for any families with children visiting Ottawa has become a hot potato at city hall. This is all because a secret deal to get involved in the project has left many residents and organizations that use the site to stage their events crying foul that they were not informed in advance nor has there been any public consultation.

When you have a former Olympian such as Sue Holloway, who lives near Mooney’s Bay and has a fitness area in the park named after her, speaking out, you know the public relations optics surrounding this project have gone off the rails. The city is contributing almost $1 million to the approximately $2-million project, which will be filmed for the Giver children’s TV show.

The show will involve filming the construction of the playground and involve kids as they assist in the construction project that will take the shape of Canada. The structure is scheduled to open on July 1, 2017, to mark the country’s 150th birthday.

It sounds like a win-win for the city. A Canada 150 legacy project, with the city getting a $2-million playground for half price as the TV show will also put in $1 million. You can see why those at city hall thought it would be a no-brainer as something the community as a whole could rally around.

But the lack of public notice, let alone public consultation, looks bad in light of the fact that in the very same week the Mooney’s Bay Park brouhaha has emerged, city councillors such as George Darouze have been touting how effective public consultations can be after the city’s decision to defer changes to its stormwater rate fee structure after rural residents pushed back.

The Mooney’s Bay Park project is exactly the type of Canada 150 legacy project city residents will enjoy for years as opposed to yet more fireworks shows. Yes, the PR optics may be bad, but sometimes things just need to get done.

A very Canadian way to create Order

I

was at Rideau Hall the other day, watching 48 Canadians, including a cousin and a former boss, be inducted into the Order of Canada. The day gave me a greater appreciation of both the Order and the setting in which it was awarded.

You wouldn’t say that the recipients represented a crosssection of Canada. This group, on this day, was predominantly white, and predominantly anglo.

Still, there was an impressive range of accomplishments among the inductees — some athletes, some teachers, some in the helping professions and the arts, a couple of writers and a bunch of scientists and doctors. A couple of the inductees were famous; most were not.

That in itself is encouraging. You can be someone whose accomplishments don’t put you

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the headlines, yet be shown appreciation by your country. Typically, someone in your community nominates you and then you go through a screening process.

Those who have not seen the ceremony and seen the pride Order of Canada recipients take in it may underestimate its significance and its impact on those who are chosen. The fact that recipients proudly wear the lapel pin whenever they can shows that they know it’s important and they’re happy to have it.

The ceremony itself reflects

that. There is a formality to it — with a string quartet playing introductory music, the presence of the governor general and various uniformed functionaries, the recipient bowing to the GG before hearing a brief recitation of his or her accomplishments.

But we are not a formal people.

The string quartet played a Beatles tune. Several of the recipients had small cheering sections that whooped, possibly violating protocol, as their friends were introduced. A couple of the inductees broke through the formality with little gestures of celebration that brought laughs from the crowd.

And at the end of the ceremony, there was enthusiastic applause for all the recipients that went on far longer than you would expect.

Clearly, both inductees and audience were moved by what they had seen.

So what might originally have been thought of as a formal, British-style ceremony, became quite Canadian, and all the more moving for that.

Some of the credit for this goes to Rideau Hall itself, and the people who work there. The building is grand and regal, but the folks inside are friendly and helpful.

Anyone who enters intimidated by the surroundings soon relaxes, because there is a staffer at every turn who can tell you where to go, what to do, what happens next. There is no stiffness. They all smile.

The rooms are lovely as is the garden out back, where people strolled — and even smoked — after the ceremony. The larger grounds themselves are well-used, by locals as well as tourists, after an unfortunate period in the 1980s when they were closed to the public, for reasons that were never made entirely clear.

There are those, and I am one

of them, who think that having a governor general in Canada is a colonial relic. But most people don’t feel that way. We will likely have a governor general and Rideau Hall for decades, if not centuries, to come. Given that, we are fortunate that both the institution and the place have become so welcoming and comfortable for Canadians.

Daisy, one of two kittens found zip-tied in a Kanata dumpster on May 2, is recovering, says the Ottawa Humane Society. The other kitten died from an infection. OHS is looking for information to find the person responsible.

Kittens found zip-tied in Kanata dumpster Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society is looking for information after two kittens were found ziptied in a Kanata dumpster earlier this month.

A contractor working at a housing complex near Leacock Drive in Beaverbrook found the two kittens on May 2 in a red plastic box after he heard meowing coming from the dumpster, said the OHS in a news release.

He brought the felines to the humane society.

Investigators determined they had likely been in the dumpster since April 30. The kittens, one female and one male, were dehydrated and had eye and upper respiratory infections, said the OHS. A vet treated them with fluids, antibiotics and eye ointment, but the male kitten died.

The female kitten, which OHS staffed named

Daisy, is recovering.

“She’s a lively little girl who is incredibly sweet and cuddly. You’d never know how close she came to being carted off to a landfill somewhere in that sealed box to her certain death,” said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director.

OHS investigators are looking for tips to help them track down the person responsible.

Anyone with information is asked to call 613725-3166 ext. 224.

Roney said the past few weeks haven’t been kind to cats.

A cat was killed following an attack by another animal last week and on Monday, May 16, another cat died after falling from a highrise building.

“Those preventable tragedies highlight the need to keep cats indoors where it’s safe,” he said.

Serving Kanata north

City Councillor, Kanata north KANATA RACE DAY – REGISTER NOW – Hosted by me, this is a race for the whole family, from toddlers to seniors, that is organized by a wonderful group of volunteers who raise funds for the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata (RRCK). By participating, you can support new activities at the RRCK and enjoy some exercise in beautiful, natural surroundings. Take part in the 10k, 5k or 1k and watch toddlers beam as they dash in the Tot Trot. Sponsored by the Richcraft Group of Companies, the proceeds this year are for our Junior Ranger program, which supports activities at the RRCK and protects Trillium Woods by removing invasive species. To register for this fun event and support your local community complex visit www.kanataraceday.ca.

TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CALMING (TTC) UPDATE – After meeting with Area Traffic Management specialists and reviewing suggestions from the community a first round of TTC treatments will be implemented this summer. These include flex signs in the centre of the road, more locations that show what speed you’re travelling at and painted speed limits on the roadways. You’ll see these on Huntsville, Keyrock, Goward, Halton Terrace, Shirley’s Brook, Maritime Way, Morgan’s Grant Way, Laxford, Maxwell Bridge, Goulbourn Forced Road and Campeau. Additional locations for TTC will be added after evaluating the effectiveness at the locations mentioned above.

“SLOW DOWN FOR US” signs are available for pick up from my ward office (2500 Campeau Drive). Speeding is an issue especially when young kids are playing outside during the warmer weather.

To help prevent speeding on your street, pick up signs to put on your front lawn and invite your neighbours to do the same. The signs have a greater impact when a number of homes in a row display them.

LEBRETON FLATS & THE FUTURE OF THE OTTAWA SENATORS – What will happen to the Canadian Tire Centre?

Test well water three times a year: OPH Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Residents who live on well water should be testing their water quality three times a year for bacteria and contamination, advises Ottawa Public Health.

The testing is free and there are five pick-up and drop-off locations for samples throughout West Carleton.

Last year, 5,236 samples were submitted for tests through public health, said Carly Wolff, who co-ordinated emailed responses from OPH. There are more than 45,000 rural homes in Ottawa – about 9,000 of them are in West Carleton.

“Most residents of rural Ottawa are not connected to the city’s water and sewer system,” it says on the city’s website.

OPH does not keep statistics on the number of homes that submit well water samples, nor does it collect information on contamination rates for private wells.

“While OPH tallies the total number of samples submitted, we do not receive individual test results,” said Wolff.

“This is because the information is private for people who own their own source of a private drinking water system that serve a single household, and is not a part of the cityoperated water service.”

The city manages five groundwater well systems that supply drinking water to most residents in Carp, Vars and Munster Hamlet, and to residents of Kings Park in Richmond and those in Shadow Ridge in Greely. The city tests its wells throughout the year.

According to the 2015 annual report on drinking water quality in Carp, the city took 204 samples from the two local wells (no presence of coli-

It’s up to residents with private wells to ensure their water is being tested regularly.

In 2015, 3,436 water samples were collected through the 18 drop-off sites throughout the city, and another 1,800 were brought to the main public health office on Constellation Drive, said Wolff. Additional samples could have been sent directly to the Public Health Ontario Laboratory, but OPH did not have those numbers.

FIVE LOCAL LOCATIONS

Sampling well water on a semi-regular basis is important to ensure the water is safe for consumption, said Wolff.

“Test for bacteria three

times a year and after major plumbing work,” she said.

“Contaminated water can make you sick and can even be fatal. Bacterial contamination causes stomach cramps and/or diarrhea as well as other problems. Chemical contamination is equally dangerous.”

OPH also recommends that those living in agricultural areas have their water tested for nitrates, which is a chargebased service.

“OPH’s free well water testing program tests for bacterial contamination, which looks for E.coli and total coliforms,” said Wolff. “OPH recommends that if you are in an agricultural area, you may also wish to test for nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, gasoline and solvents, as these types of products can be used in ag-

ricultural processes and can seep into water systems.

“While OPH recommends residents also test for nitrates, this testing is co-ordinated directly through accredited laboratories as a fee-for-service.

Nitrates are the end result of a chemical reaction; they are not bacteria. The presence of nitrates in well water is usually the result of residential yard or agricultural fertilizers or seepage from septic tanks.”

OPH has five sites in West Carleton where people can pick up bottles for testing and drop off their samples. The service is provided year-round.

Water samples can be dropped off every Tuesday at the following locations: • Carp library branch: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 3911 Carp Rd. • Darvesh Grocery: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 3084 Kinburn Side Rd. • Dunrobin Meat and Grocery: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 2808 Dunrobin Rd. • Kinburn Client Service Centre: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 5670 Carp Rd. • Lighthouse Restaurant: 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 655 Bayview Dr. For more information, visit ottawa.ca/en/residents/waterand-environment/free-wellwater-testing.

Going far beyond the borrow and spend economy

I

try very hard to ignore investment statements, especially those in relatively low risk or registered accounts.

A few weeks ago, while up to my eyeballs in tax documents, however, I had a glance at my registered education savings fund (RESP). A number of years ago, I read about an experiment that suggested parents rarely, if ever, would dip into their children’s education fund, even in an emergency, and even among extremely poor families in rural India. This makes it an untouchable savings fund – the idea is that you leave it there for a long period of time, make some good money in interest, and because your child’s future is at stake, you don’t dare touch it, even when times are tight.

Since then, I’ve saved an increasing amount each year for my kids, in the event they go to post-secondary school. The bonus with an RESP is that the government contributes 20 per cent over and above your contribution amount, which means it’s got the best return-on-investment (ROI) around.

What I saw on my statements, however, shocked me, although it probably won’t surprise many of you – negative returns.

I lost money on my savings, and I’d been losing money on my children’s investments for about 12 months.

That wasn’t the case a year ago. Recognizing that growth has been small, I wasn’t expecting huge returns, but I was hoping

to be, at the very least, earning something, as a reward for my monthly sacrifice.

But this was a dig. I mean, what’s the point in saving money – rather than spending or paying down debt – if I’m actually losing on the principal?

It so happens that CBC Radio One was reading my mind that particular day. At least once per week, I find myself driving to Orléans and tuning into hear All in a Day’s Alan Neal have a casual chat about the economy with Alberta-based economics reporter Kate MacNamara. On this particular day, MacNamara was recounting an experiment she had done with her 11-year-old daughter to determine where best to save a portion of her pocket money.

After searching a number of banks – both mainstream and small – MacNamara found she had no solid place for her daughter to save, unless she was willing to take a big risk.

It’s the same for the rest of us. While I’ve written endlessly about the value of saving – and I still believe it’s good to have a nest egg or a rainy day fund – there is really zero incentive to save in today’s economy.

As MacNamara pointed out, with the interest rates at all time lows, the Bank of Canada continues to encourage and reward the borrower/ spender, while leaving savers out in the cold.

“They (the Bank of Canada) endlessly peddle

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the financial literacy line,” MacNamara said. “It’s time to make it actually pay. Stop pushing savers endlessly into risk ... Anyone who wants to make anything – including 11 year olds – are pushed into junk.”

In the end, MacNamara advised her own daughter to go blow her pocket money on Cheezies. It doesn’t seem like such a bad idea for the rest of us either. We may at least opt to pay down debt while rates are low rather than throw our cash into the money pit of negative returns.

It may well be why

‘According to a BMO study released in February, an estimated 34 per cent of adult Canadians made a pre-retirement withdrawal from their RRSP.’ interest rate policy to benefit savers, it’s likely the rest of us will opt to blow our pocket money on Cheezies rather than continue to suffer the diminishing rates of return on our savings. For me, my RRSP may be up for grabs

in current conditions, but my kids’ education fund, despite the losses, is safe. Turns out those behavioural economists are right – regardless of the need, I’m apparently psychologically incapable of diminishing my children’s future, even in the face of diminishing returns.

Canadians seem to be increasingly choosing to raid their retirement funds early.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Proud to Serve You It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

How My Office Can Help You • Hydro and Energy Issues • Healthcare and Senior Care Matters • Ontario Student Assistant Program (OSAP) • Driver License and Registration Issues • Home, Land, and Private Property Matters • Hunting and Fishing Licenses • Government Service Complaints And much more!

More Bad Policy Last week, the Ontario Government spoke openly about eliminating natural gas as a fuel in Ontario. This would cost each Ontario household $3,000 more per year.

This week, two more big news stories broke directly related to bad policy. First, it was leaked that the Wynne Government is cooking up a $7 billion climate change plan to be released this spring. Such a plan will effectively deindustrialize our province. Second, the Liberals and NDP jointly passed the Ontario cap and trade cash-grab scheme into law.

These are all bad policies for Ontario, which will hurt and take away from the family budget and individual pocketbooks, as well as damage the bottom line for entrepreneurs and businesses. At the same time, the costs of everything are going up- from groceries to electricity, from home-heating to gasoline. Families will continue to struggle, entrepreneurs will begin to fail and look elsewhere for opportunity, and small businesses will begin to bust or move as costs increase and affordability evaporates.

These are bad policies for Ontario and they go too far.

Let’s Stay In Touch 12 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, May 26, 2016

I could hear them coming.

I heard their feet pounding, heard them shouting to one another that they could see a crash, that there was a patient inside a vehicle.

There was a blur of movement as the firefighters moved in, assessing the situation for hazards and what they would need.

Then someone was at the driver’s side window.

The firefighter asked me for my name then he stabilized my head in case of spinal trauma.

He asked me if I was hurt and where, if I had any existing medical conditions, and what kind of medication I was on. Then he told me he and his team were going to get me out of the car.

I can’t imagine being extricated from a car wreck in a real collision.

Thankfully, the one I was in was staged as part of a training exercise for the Ottawa Fire Service’s competitive extrication team.

I was decked out in protective fire gear – the full suit, boots, gloves, eye protectors and breathing mask. I was safe and uninjured; just playing the part of a patient with a foot trapped under the gas pedal and stuck in a crushed car, unable to free myself.

It was still scary.

Hearing the tools go to work on the crushed wreck I was sitting in, the pops and screeches of metal as pieces of the car were cut away, not being able to move, having a blanket put over my face as all the glass was cut away – it’s a little scary.

But these firefighters knew

what they were doing. The sixman team had me out in 18 minutes, five seconds.

The goal is to extricate a patient in 20 minutes.

There’s a stopwatch running,” said Scott Deugo, a firefighter with Station 43 in Bells Corners and assistant coach for the team. “You’re trying to get them out as fast as you can without making their injuries worse.”

Challenge

The Ottawa Auto Extrication Team – which has won a number of regional and national competitions – has been training for months for the All Ontario Vehicle Rescue Challenge taking place this week (May 26 to 28) in Perth.

Team

The team features four rural firefighters from Station 64 in Carp – Jake Sinclair, Nick Wade, Andrew Higgins and Adam Filoso – and two fulltimers from Station 43 in Bells Corners – Kent Keuninckx and Jimmy Madden.

Each one has a specific role when the team arrives at a collision scene.

“You should know who should be where, when – it’s like a play,” said Scott Langstaff, firefighter with Station 64 and head coach of the team.

The team invited me to participate in one of their last training sessions before the competition, along with fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal.

Cardinal’s scenario was serious; the vehicle she was in hit a hydro pole. The roof was crushed and a pole was driven

through the windshield. The driver’s side was against a barrier, making access difficult, and a second vehicle with a propane tank in it was crashed into the passenger’s side.

It took the team 20 minutes and 30 seconds to extricate her.

“Firefighters work to respect a parameter called the ‘Golden Hour,’” she said.

“The clock starts after the collision occurs and only stops when the patient is receiving further treatment at the hospital. Ottawa Fire Service crews know that they have to be diligent and effective in extricating persons because the clock is ticking.”

Deugo and Langstaff, former competitive extrication team members turned coaches, help the team figure out where they can improve in timing and technique. They record the practice extrications to watch with the team and hold a debrief after each scenario.

The competitive scenarios mimic real collisions with crushed vehicles and props like propane tanks, concrete barriers, hydro poles and a live patient.

Teams compete in three categories: rapid extrication, limited tools and unlimited tools.

Vehicle extrication is a “high-level emergency” that requires great skill, Cardinal said.

“Frequent auto extrication training helps reduce on-scene times and delivers quicker care for the persons involved in the crash,” she said.

“Having an opportunity to see them train and simulate possible scenarios gave me a better appreciation for the intricacies of that type of inci-

dent. For example, there are a large number of different makes and models of vehicles on our roads and this means that every extrication is unique.”

Strategies

Different strategies and tools are used depending on the make and model of the vehicle and where it was damaged.

“Teams have to keep their skills sharpened and focused because this type of incident not only challenges them technically but environmentally as well.

Crews are often working on busy roadways, in ditches or overpasses. This is why the messaging for motorists to be cautious is so important,” said Cardinal.

This is why motorists have to yield for emergency vehicles, and it’s why they’re asked to slow to down travelling near collisions, she said.

“We want to ensure that everyone stays safe and that includes our firefighters or other persons at the scene.”

The extrication competitions themselves are instructional. Other crews often bring new or different techniques to the events, which others can then implement in their own departments.

“You’re always learning.

You see how others do stuff,” said Langstaff. “We’ve been able to bring a lot back here.”

And that is the real purpose of the competitions; as nice as it is to win, the real goal is to save lives.

“The faster, the better we are at this, the more chances we have to save someone,” said Deugo.

“They’re going to be better because of this experience.”

A possible fix for jammed intake pipes at the Lemieux Island water filtration plant could cost $18.5 million, a staff report says The environment committee approved the plan on May 17 to extend the intake pipes deeper into the Ottawa River and go below the ice to prevent “frazil” from getting into the pipes.

Frazil is a collection of randomly oriented needlelike ice crystals and formed in open, turbulent, supercooled water. The problem began in January 2013.

The problem initially caused multiple plant shutdowns. Shutdowns are a problem, as the plant processes 200 million litres of water daily – the same as the Britannia plant.

Temporary measures in that first year – which in-

cluded a bypass pumping system and shovelling – cost the city $583,500, the report reads.

The next year, temporary, smaller diameter intake pipes were installed at a cost of $750,000. in 2014-15 the extensions were also blocked, prompting a bypass pumping system to be installed at a cost of $773,000. divers in river

In some cases divers had to remove the blockages.

Staff estimate the cost of the deep water intake system to range between $17.2 and $18.5 million. It’s the most costly of the three options proposed, but is considered the best bet to deal with the problem in the long term.

The solution would involve extending pipes 225 metres from the shoreline

to the deepest part of the river, across the OntarioQuebec border.

Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor asked city staff if there could be additional costs associated with extending to the border, but staff said it wasn’t a factor in the estimate.

Capital Coun. and committee chair David Chernushenko asked staff if the problem could be solved with conservation.

“We want to solve the problem, but we want to do it in the most cost effective way,” Chernushenko said.

“Councillors are just turning over stones to make sure staff and the consultants haven’t missed anything.”

But staff said the Lemieux Island facility handles half the citywide demand and there isn’t enough wiggle room to handle plant shutdowns.

Raising healthy babies subject of free seminar May 31 Jake Cole

Pediatrician Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is an expert in bringing up healthy babies.

His credentials, his knowledge, and his experience in this subject will be available to all at a free evening lecture from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on May 31 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Road in Kanata.

I heard him speak recently at Ottawa’s Civic Hospital and was impressed, not only with his expertise and insights, but with the engaging way he both educated and entertained his audience. Knowing that our community has a lot of new babies and a lot more coming, I thought we could benefit from someone like him, someone so willing to share his message.

What is his message?

Providing your baby with the best beginning

possible will ensure a long and healthy life. What happens early on in life affects one’s overall health decades down the road. Dr. Paul is the author of “Baby Comes Home: A Parent’s Guide to a Healthy & Well First 18 Months.”

Dr. Paul, as he is often known, is currently the Medical Officer at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit.

With years of frontline medical experience as founder and former director of one of the busiest university-hospital clinics in North America, assistant professor of Pediatrics and former Director of Multiformat Health Communications, McGill University, Dr. Paul has earned a reputation as a down-toearth communicator who encourages parents to become active and informed participants in the care of their children’s health and

well-being.

As the first on-line pediatrician in the world, Dr. Paul is revolutionizing health communications by bridging the gap between media producers and health professionals.

Both an accomplished media developer and producer, and a respected medical expert, he produces state of the art educational health resources, which are trustworthy, accessible and informative. He believes that the future of health care is in communicating health information in a variety of media formats, thereby making it accessible to the largest audience possible.

More information about Dr. Paul can be found at his web site: drpaul.com .

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (Ontario Early Years Centre Carleton) has agreed

to support the session on May 31. It promises to be an interactive event with a good portion of time set aside for questions and answers. So bring your note-

books and bring your questions with you. Dr. Paul will be happy to answer as many as he can.

Space is limited so please reserve your seat early using

feel welcome. Abood made the page one day on a lark, in just two short weeks it became a charity with board members.

“It’s definitely matured me,” said Abood, who is still attending class full time.

Thanks to developer Morguard, the group was able to get free space at the former hotel at 250 Sparks Street, where they sort mountains of clothes; toys, car seats, and household items.

The group is also working with Wheels for Refugees to help get bikes out to both kids and adults now that the weather has warmed up.

The group was on the ground when the refugees first started coming in, and saw first-hand the work it took to get families housed.

Abood said there were families of up to eight people sharing a room with two queen size beds.

“It was very chaotic at first because they had to find their own housing,” Touhey said.

“The language barrier was hard for them at first.”

While many families were housed within a matter of weeks, there were some families that stayed in hotel rooms for a month or more.

Abood, who speaks Arabic, said she was initially surprised by the lack of English spoken by refugees.

“It’s almost like a second language in the Middle East,” she said. “But most of the government sponsored refugees would have come from villages, where they wouldn’t have had as much exposure.”

Another problem was the difference between the Syrian currency and the Canadian dollar.

“They had a lot of trouble budgeting at first,” Touhey said, adding that renting doesn’t really happen in Syria, most people don’t understand budgeting for board every month.

Touhey said the lack of awareness around finances has contributed to the rush of refugees at area food banks.

But the group of young women are doing everything

they can to help them get on their feet.

They visit the families in their homes, organize activities like a knitting night that was held on May 17, and a job fair, planned with a University of Ottawa professor in June.

Other organizations have also stepped up to the plate, including Dovercourt Recreation Centre.

Staff from the centre worked with refugees staying at the Travel Lodge on Carling Avenue during the first few months of the year.

While the Carlington Community Health Centre worked with the refugees on documentation, and settlement activities, they realized they needed to do something with the kids.

Enter Dovercourt.

Steve Nason senior director of programming for the recreation centre, said that kids were going “stir crazy” while their parents were filling out forms.

Weeds are easiest to pull now while roots are shallow. Mulch or ground cover will reduce new weed growth. Be sure to keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to help reduce rot and protect the bark of young fruit trees.

For best results, top dress your garden beds with compost or wellseasoned manure prior to planting. Try not to disturb established beds and they will have already established a complex soil ecosystem.

Nutrients added on top will work their way down into the soil.

If you take pride in keeping a healthy, green lawn, Nematodes are the biological way to get rid of grubs in soil.

Numbers were ‘staggering’: rec centre head

“The kids were just there, what do you do with them,” Nason said, adding it was a challenge to do activities at the hotel because it was

March.

“The sheer numbers were staggering,” he said, adding the size of the families weren’t what the staff was used to either.

But they pitched in and

provided program space and activities, even though there were barriers.

“It’s a totally different world, a lot of kids have never been in school and aren’t socialized the way a Cana-

dian child would have been,” he said.

Despite that, it was a great experience Nason said.

So great, the centre has kept the doors open and is offering free programming for refugees for the next year.

They have their choice of camps, swimming lessons or before and after school care.

A lot of people have pitched in, trying to fill in the gaps. The first groups started arriving in January and there are currently 1,500 living in the capital.

There will be 2,000 Syrians settled in Ottawa by the end of the year.

In March 50 kids entered the public school system, with hundreds more planned for the start of the next school year.

Mayor Jim Watson set up

communities where there are already settlement supports in place, with consideration given to whether they have family members in Canada, as well as the availability of schools, housing and language training.

A one-day blitz by Ottawa police officers on May 15 was aimed at targeting distracted driver was a success – depending on how you look at it.

Distracted driving blitz nabs 76 people on cell phones Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A one-day blitz by Ottawa police officers on May 15 aimed at targeting distracted driver was a success – depending on how you look at it.

Officers handed out 76 tickets for drivers using handheld devices, another six for red-light running and 34 other Highway Traffic Act offenses.

Traffic officer Sgt. Eddy Yeoumans said the blitz was part of a provincial drive safe campaign.

“The slogan is risk takers, meet undertakers,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem to be getting better.”

The ban on using handheld devices while driving was enacted in 2009, but Yeoumans said the problem doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

A 2015 public survey by the Ottawa police identified distracted driving as the number one concern for residents.

“People know it’s illegal, but they just can’t seem to put the phones down,” Yeoumans said, adding that

when people are stopped they know it’s illegal because the first thing they do is put down their hands or ditch the phone once they hear the sirens.

“The excuse always is that call or text is very important,” Yeoumans said.

Yeoumans said the behaviour of a distracted driver is just like that of someone who is drunk behind the wheel.

“The car is weaving or they’re at a red light and they don’t notice when it turns green, so it holds up traffic behind them,” he said. “They just don’t realize how distracted they are on the road. It only takes a moment to cause a collision.”

Enforcement and education are key to getting people to put their phones down and keep their eyes on the road, Yeoumans said.

“Hopefully, they get a ticket and they tell their friends and co-workers and it makes people hesitate,” he said.

“Or the kids in the backseat tell their parents to put the phones down.”

Ottawa woman shares story of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis ‘It’s your new normal and you have to be zen about that’ Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

For Nathalie Robertson, the warmer weather won’t mean rock climbing or hiking.

Like 300,000 other Canadians, Robertson suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.

Often called the “invisible disease” because there are no outward signs of illness, RA causes the immune system to attack the joints.

It can cause swelling, joint damage and deformity.

Robertson was diagnosed in 2003, but that was after a year of dealing with really weird, debilitating symptoms.

The Navan woman was walking to work and slipped on the ice. Her knee was still swollen three weeks later.

Next her shoulder started to hurt, but it wasn’t just a

Nathalie Robertson

twinge.

“It was swollen, it would feel like it was burning and it was hot to the touch,” she said.

A couple of visits to the doctor didn’t garner many answers.

“We never really put the

shoulder and the knee together,” Robertson said.

Next she started to see nodules on her toes and one wrist.

Her doctor originally thought the shoulder pain was from bursitis and x-rays didn’t turn up any answers.

“The early stages don’t show any joint damage, so it’s tough to determine at first,” Robertson said, adding blood work also didn’t show anything at first.

“I went from zero to 100 in a matter of months,” Robertson said, adding she couldn’t shake someone’s hand without gritting her teeth from the pain.

She also began limping, and insisted on seeing a specialist.

That’s when she got the diagnosis.

Opportunity’s calling.

Make sure you get it.

Message about arthritis is one of ‘hope’ Continued from page 19

“At first it was like a black hole, where you don’t have much information, but then it gets sorted and you start to come out of it,” she said.

After a year-and-half Robertson ended up on her first biologic, which finally brought the symptoms under control.

Part of getting her symptoms under controt meant putting off her plans to start a family until her pain was manageable.

“We wanted to start having kids right away, but my doctor suggested we get the symptoms under control first,” Robertson said.

Unfortunately, some damage couldn’t be reversed and Robertson had her first shoulder surgery in 2006 because of a torn rotator cuff.

She had her son in 2007, and miraculously she felt great during the pregnancy, despite coming off the medication.

But a few weeks after her son was born, the symptoms came back with a vengeance.

“I felt like I hit a wall,” Robertson said. “I knew I had to do something.”

Now on Actemra – which reduces inflammation – Robertson said her pain is managed.

“Message is one of hope,” Robertson said. “I am able to work full-time, enjoy time with my family, volunteer, in all lead a very happy and complete life.”

Robertson added that it’s about getting used to your limitations.

“You have to mourn your old self, and know that you’re not going to go out rock climbing or hiking anymore. This is your new normal and you have to be zen about that.”

For people just starting out on their journey, Robertson recommends the Canadian Arthritis Patient Alliance (www.athritispatient.ca). The organization supports patients being advocates for themselves.

Another option is the Ottawa chapter of the Arthritis Society.

The group is hosting four seminars in May and early June designed to give people the resources to cope with their conditions. The local chapter can be found at arthritis.ca.

Committee hears updated youth action plan for 2016 Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Move in just in time for Spring. ● Independent ● Residential ● Assisted Living ● Short Term Stays

Come for a tour and we’ll treat you to lunch!

OC Transpo could explore the feasibility of an affordable bus pass this year, as a result of a report by the city’s youth engagement committee.

The report was released to the community and protective services committee on May 19 and laid the groundwork for a two-year youth action plan for 20162018.

The engagement committee is is a working group made up of 13 youth aged 16 to 24 from across the city.

It was formed in 2013, following a youth summit held

by Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Fleury said the city addressed the initial imbalance of the committee to ensure that members represented

that would profile 150 community contributors over 150 days using social media as part of the 2017 celebrations.

all parts of the city.

To update the action plan, the committee surveyed 253 youth and came up with four themes: * Communication: More two-way engagement between the city and youth. * Relationships: Connecting youth with their city councillors, community police officers and youth organizations. * Affordable recreation and transportation: Improving available information about recreation programs and affordable access to transit. * Environment: Increasing opportunities to recycle and compost.

The report also recommended ensuring the participation and recognition of young people as part of the 2017 Canada 150 celebrations. The working group suggested a project

age limits

To help with issues around transit and recreation affordability, one of the suggestions was for the engagement committee to work with organizers of youth-specific events to include the cost of transit as part of ticket prices.

Other suggestions include raising the age limit for student bus passes from 19 to 24 and a pilot project to allow youth volunteers to participate in free or reduced fee recreation programming.

The report was carried by the community and protective services committee and will now be heard by city council.

Merger offers ‘one door, one story, one health record’ Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The region’s leading providers of specialized care for children and youth are designing a “made-in-Ottawa solution” to improve care for kids with complex medical needs.

CHEO and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre are amalgamating to form a new organization by the end of this year, one that is so new it doesn’t yet have a name.

“What we’ve heard over and over again from families that have used either place is that the system was fragmented, that they had to navigate their own way through the system rather than have a system that was made for them that was streamlined,” Dr. Lindy Samson, CHEO’s chief of staff, said in an interview following the May 17 announcement about the new partnership.

After it is formalized, there will be about an 18-month transition period. Full integration is expected by April 1, 2018.

The new system currently in development within “the stronger together philosophy,” said Samson, will better serve the needs of kids with various disabilities, congenital conditions, autism, brain injuries, developmental delays and cerebral palsy.

Sixty per cent of patients at CHEO and the treatment centre are shared.

Currently, a child in need of diagnosis, treatment and care can be referred to both organizations and regularly go between them for appointments with specialists such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists.

“There would be different waitlists and different processes to do that, and for some clinicians in the community and even at either organization it wasn’t always 100 per clear which was the best path to go down first,” Samson said.

This also leads to duplication of services.

But within the new organization, a patient will be

“So it’s really about one child, one door, one story, one health record, one care plan.”

There are other children’s treatment centres in the province and while some have operated independently, such as Ottawa’s for the past 60 years, others have been integrated in some way.

CHEO and the treatment centre have already been collaborating and have integrated a number of programs.

Treatment centre officials approached CHEO executives several years ago to formalize their partnership.

A joint task force of parents, community members and physicians looked at models across North America, but ultimately settled on a unique way forward.

“This is really a made-inOttawa solution to the very unique geographical and re-

gional health-care needs we have in this area,” Samson said.

Though the merger wasn’t motivated by financial pressures, it will result in mon-

etary efficiencies. There will be one new board of directors and CHEO president and chief executive Alex Munter will helm the new centre, while Kathleen Stokely, chief executive of the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, will retire.

Any money saved will be returned to front-line services for complex care and developmental and rehabilitation services, which means there will be more than there are now, said Samson.

It’s still too soon to know what impact the merger will have on wait times and how the physical space at the treatment centre, which has its main site near CHEO, will change.

The centre’s communitybased sites from Renfrew to Cornwall will remain in place.

“Now the work begins on how we are going to really all create this together and make it better,” Samson said, adding that parents and families will help drive the changes.

Next steps include seeking approvals from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

New Horizons Seniors Funding This week I was thrilled to visit the West Ottawa Community Resource Center to announce that they will receive over $183 thousand dollars in federal funding for the New Horizons Seniors Program. This project is a community-wide effort to address social isolation, especially among rural seniors in Ottawa. I am so proud of the work that the WOCRC does every day for our community.

Let’s Talk # 3 – June 5 (Town Hall) Please remember that I will be hosting my next town hall on June 5 at the Kanata Legion, located on 70 Hines Rd. Come and join us for a fundraising BBQ at 5:00 pm where we will be raising funds for the victims of Fort McMurray. You are encouraged to sign up for the BBQ on our website. Discussion will take place from 6 – 8 pm. There are currently 3 online consultations posted on my website regarding: the Defence Review, the Environment and Canada Post.

I encourage you to provide feedback on these subjects at: kmccrimmon.liberal.ca. These will be among the topics that I look forward to discussing with our community members.

Celebrating the Asian Community Thank you to the Buddha’s Light International Association for inviting me to address the Asian community at their banquet. It was so nice to meet and talk with those who attended the terrific event, and celebrate the contribution of the community in Ottawa.

Komagata Apology I was thankful to be present in the House of Commons as the Prime Minister apologized, on behalf of the people of Canada, for the actions in 1914 of the Canadian Government in which hundreds of Sikh, Muslim and Hindu passengers were denied entry to Canada and forced to return to an uncertain and ultimately violent fate in India. It is so inspiring to see how our nation has developed over the years, and welcomes those who are fleeing persecution and conflict in their own homelands.

Community Events I had the chance to stop by the Smith family at their horse auction in Galetta, visit the Kinburn Community sale, and thank the Kanata Legion volunteers. It was great to also get the opportunity to stop by and congratulate a local company, TBL Depot, on their grand opening. It was great to visit with everyone!

Opening of parlour marks start of new season Finally, once again we were allowed into the parlour. It had been closed up as tight as a drum since the first snow fall months before. The braided rug rolled up on the floor tight to the door sealing the cold air in, and keeping the warm air of the kitchen out, had been thrown over the fence and beaten with the broom and rolled up in the Renfrew Mercury and tucked under a bed until needed again.

The only time the parlour door had been open since being shut off for the winter, was when it was our turn to have the Saturday night house party.

And as soon as the last body went home, slam went the door and down went the braided rug!

That day, when I came home from school and walked into the kitchen, there was the parlour door wide open. The only window was on the north side and so the sun hadn’t penetrated the room and I could still feel the chill of the long winter months when it was closed up.

But it was like a new adventure to me, being able to use the parlour again. It was as if I had never seen the room before! Of course, nothing had changed. The horsehair settee, the largest piece of furniture, sat kitty corner, and the twig table beside, still held the big family Bible, which was full of pieces of paper telling of births, deaths, and mar-

they sat on the twig table, and I even found some under the braided rug by the one sittingchair in the room.

Of course, there would be dust everywhere. And so it was my job to wipe the furniMary Cook’s Memories ture and take the whisk to the cushions, and generally try to bring the parlour back to whatever grandeur riages.

And even though I loved to look at the it had.

And the parlour was not considered a Bible, it held a bit of terror for me, too. Because pressed between its pages were several room for frivolity! Games were never to be dried up flowers, taken right off the casket played in it, and any roughhousing was abof a departed relative. Nobody seemed to solutely out of the question.

On the walls were pictures of those who know whose casket they came from, and that alone was enough to cause goose bumps on had passed on. Big oval pictures of stern my arms, as my fervent mind pictured some faces looking like they carried the cares of poor departed soul who was right there in the entire world on their shoulders. I often wondered, as I looked on them with awe, if the parlour with me.

Just like before a Saturday night house they had ever smiled even once during their party, it took a couple of days for the odors long lives.

One frame held someone’s braided hair, of the closed-up parlour to smell, as Father called it “decent.” To me it smelled like old worked into a semi circle, with a small tinwet galoshes, and then there were the moth- type picture underneath it. That picture gave balls. Mother put an ample amount of them me the willies, and I did everything in my all over the room, and I could never under- power to keep my eyes averted from it when stand if it was to cover the moldy smell, or I was in the parlour.

Mother didn’t like it any better than I did to keep away the moths, which we always seemed to have in great abundance. Mother and once she told Father she was going to tucked them into the crevices of the settee, get rid of it. Father looked like he had been

struck with a plank and said the hair in the frame had been there long before he was born and that’s where it would be staying.

Mother asked him whose hair it was and he had no idea, but nonetheless, it was not to be taken down.

And so it stayed and like the dried flowers pressed in the family Bible, put a chill in the parlour for me that even the hot summer days couldn’t erase.

And it was in the parlour that we five children sat when we settle down with a book from the Renfrew Library. Never were we allowed to read at the kitchen table, just in case a crumb or a spot of butter got on a page, and we would have to pay for the book when we took it back.

I was always glad when the parlour was opened after the long winter and it was a place to read, settled down on the horsehair settee, which was as hard as a board. It was a small room, and when I sat there alone with my library book, even though the pictures on the walls gave me pause, it was a place where I could escape into a fantasy world, lost in the pages of my book from the Renfrew Library.

New sexual assault training course rolls out for patrol officers Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Twenty-five Ottawa police patrol officers are arming themselves with an arsenal of new tools and specialized information aimed at bolstering how they investigate sexual assault cases and interact with victims of sex crimes.

The police department’s sexual assault and child abuse section is rolling out a new three-day intensive course for front-line officers beginning May 25, known as sexual assault response officer training.

“Their first response heavily impacts how the investigation moves forward, so we’re going to give them more information, specifically towards sexual violence calls,” said Staff Sgt. Angela McDade, head of the SACA unit.

“Our goal with that is victim-centred investigations.”

Topics such as scene management and victim sensitivity will be taught by experts from the Ottawa Hospital, a nurse practitioner, the police department’s victim crisis and high-tech crime units and a public educator with the Sexual Assault Support Centre, among others.

A list of potential improvements was developed after the police service consulted with a number of service providers in late 2014, including the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre, the Sexual Assault Network, Crime Prevention Ottawa and others.

“When the patrol officer goes to those scenes, we’re hoping with that additional training that the initial response, their lens won’t be narrow, that they will be fo-

cused on the victim,” said McDade.

It will also give the officers more in-depth understanding of the challenges involved in investigating sexual assault files “so they will be really tuned in to what’s required to prove cases,” she said.

“That victim sensitivity is huge.”

In some cases, victims don’t want police to investigate the crime against them or even speak with the perpetrator, sometimes for fear of reprisal. As well, some are not willing to go to hospital to receive care following an assault.

But it’s important officers ensure victims understand how important medical care is, that they connect with the supports they may need, as well as offer them assistance in going to the hospital and making sure they have a ride

to a safe place after they receive medical care.

“We want that sensitivity,” McDade said.

How victims are treated by investigators is crucial for the victim, never mind for the investigation.

“There’s a lot of emotional trauma,” she said. “It may not be present at the time. We’re learning a lot about neurobiology in that what you see at the time may

FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS

be very different three days or a month later for a victim.”

The Ottawa police SACA unit has wanted to developed this specialized training for patrol officers for a number of years. Staff sergeants before McDade had it on their to-do lists, and McDade adopted the priority after she began managing the 17-member unit three years ago.

To get it off the ground, other police agencies were looked at, including specialized training provided by the Durham Regional Police Service.

The response to the new Ottawa course was swift and the available spots quickly filled up. McDade said a second course will be offered in September, and it may be offered at least once a year in future.

Those officers who take it may one day become prime candidates for the SACA unit. Their police work following the course will be reviewed and in five Friends the Central to seven yearsof they may Experimental Farm want to join the team, said McDade.

Unlike the specially trained SACA investigators, other officers are chal-

lenged to know what is entailed in a sexual assault investigation.

But that’s where “more education more awareness, more training” can make all the difference, she said.

“It’s our way of being able to give something to the patrol officers that we already know,” said McDade.

“I had no idea until I came into the unit as to the type of offences, the amount of offences.”

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

The launch of the new course just happened to take place in May, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The SACA section recently issued a public advisory urging people “to

stop the cycle” of sexual violence, explaining that anyone — no matter their gender, age, race or cultural background — can become a victim.

McDade’s team of officers investigates a couple of hundred files at any given time, and often issue media releases about sexual crimes in order to garner tips, warn people and to seek the public’s help in identifying a suspect.

Stranger assaults do occur, but the vast majority of cases that are investigated involve victims who have been assaulted by someone they know, whethde la erAmis they areFerme an acquainexpérimentale centrale tance, a family member, someone in a position of authority or a co-worker, McDade said.

under-reported. An estimated 10 per cent of victims report sexual crimes, McDade said.

That’s why education and training are essential.

Victims need to know that sexual assault is never their fault, and everyone needs to know that sexual assault includes unwanted touching, groping, kissing, hugging, molestation and penetration.

The other message the unit is sharing is that without consent, a sexual assault has been committed.

“I think with that type of awareness and people understand the consequences and that their behaviour is criminal, maybe it will reduce the offending,” McDade said.

Elite basketball program to launch at west Ottawa high school Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Tony House is hoping a new elite basketball program at Notre Dame High School will be a slam dunk for local players looking to compete at a higher level.

Players in the Canada Topflight Academy will be enrolled at Notre Dame High School and will train five or six days a week for competitions against other elite basketball players in Canada and the United States.

The partnership between House’s academy and the Ottawa Catholic School Board launches this fall as a pilot project with a boys basketball program.

“We are just thrilled and excited to be offering this,” House said.

The cost for each athlete is $10,000 per year.

House is the director of the academy and has lived in Ottawa for all but four years of his life. He was an Ontario high school all-star

with St. Pius X and went on to play for the University of Manitoba. He has coached basketball camps and programs in the city for more than 20 years.

He’s been working on bringing this program – like many that exist in the states and at prep schools in Toronto – home to Ottawa for about two years.

“I’m looking forward to putting Ottawa even more on the map by beating these top prep schools in Canada and the States," he said. "I love that Ottawa can compete, and I’m looking forward to showing people that Ottawa can compete on a national and international stage.”

He put together a team of coaches that includes Dave Smart, who played high school ball for Nepean and Woodroffe high schools, before working at Carleton University as assistant and then head coach winning 12 championships.

Smart joins Leo Rautins, a member of the Canada’s Basketball Hall of Fame

and former head coach of the Canadian national team, and Milt Palacio, who played for several teams, including the Toronto Raptors before playing in Europe. He’s the current assistant coach of the University of Idaho’s mens basketball team.

The students, who will have to apply to the academy, will have access to the teachers, administration and guidance counsellors like any other student at Notre Dame. That way they’ll also be ready academically for the next level – including university ball in the states or in Canada, House said.

But at the same time, the players will be hitting the gym.

“We’ve hired coaches, strength conditioning trainers, sport psychologists, nutritionists – we are really taking that high-end approach in training,” House said.

“It’s going to be very intense, and I think kids understand when they apply and get accepted. They are keen on getting better.”

House is looking for about 12 to 13 players for this fall and is tentatively planning an open house for June 4 with a tour of the school and two or three hour open gym for players to show off their skills.

He’s already working to recruit several students from around the city.

“I think Ottawa has become a bit of a hotbed for basketball, both on the girls and the boys side from the grassroots, right up to the university programs. There’s just a lot of really good basketball being played,” House said.

“We have our finger on the pulse of a lot of good kids in Ottawa, but we are looking at trying to generate some interest from around the world,” he said.

The partnership is also a win for the school board, according to Superintendent Peter Atkinson, of the Catholic board.

“It really impacts us at our most important level,” Atkinson said about the academy. Student success is one of the board’s core priorities.

“We see this as a possibly a very successful enterprise for student success - it is not only defined as academic achievement, it’s also defined in terms of student wellbeing and student engagement.”

He added the program will be great not only for the students involved but also the school community.

Ottawa residents will get a chance to voice their concerns over best practices for community policing at two public consultations this June.

The Ottawa Police Services Board presented its plan to rejig the way officers are deployed on April 25. According to the police, the changes are part of a strategy called the Service Initiative program, which is designed to improve how the police serves the community.

The consultations will be facilitated sessions, but spaces are limited and it’s recommended that organizations or groups register one participant to act as a delegate. The first session will take place on June 7 at 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Room, at the Woodvale Pentecostal Church at 205 Greenbank Rd. The second session will take place on June 9 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Festival Boardroom at City Hall.

The plan had a controversial element that includes reallocating resources like beat cops, community policing functions and district traffic functions

for service,” she said.

Lucie Marleau, who heads up Crime Prevention Vanier said this consultation - as well as the online survey - may be Vanier’s only chance to express to the board the importance of a full-time community police officer and of the center located on McAr-

thur Avenue.

For residents unable to attend, people can provide feedback either by completing an online survey, available by visiting ottawapolice.ca or by sending their comments to serviceinitiative@ottawapolice.ca.

Acting Supt. Mark Ford takes questions from media about a new service delivery model that would change the way Ottawa police officers are deployed during a police services board meeting on April 25. to a “front line functional model.”

Acting Supt. Mark Ford, who presented the strategy, said it was about reducing the demand on officers and how the organization can be more efficient co-ordinating front line engagements.

At the April 25 meeting many residents, merchants and organizations pleaded

with the board to not move ahead with the plan.

Jasna Jennings, the executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, said with the complex mix of retail, shelters and social service organizations, there needs to be a single point of contact, with knowledge of the area.

City has new plan for youth Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

OC Transpo could explore the feasibility of an affordable bus pass this year, as a result of a report by the city’s youth engagement committee.

The report was released to the community and protective services committee on May 19 and laid the groundwork for a two-year youth action plan for 2016-2018.

The engagement committee is is a working group made up of 13 youth aged 16 to 24 from across the city. It was formed in 2013, following a youth summit held by Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Fleury said the city addressed the initial imbalance of the committee to ensure that members represented all parts of the city.

To update the action plan, the committee surveyed 253 youth and came up with four themes: • Communication: More two-way engagement between the city and youth.

• Relationships: Connecting youth with their city councillors, community police officers and

youth organizations.

• Affordable recreation and transportation: Improving available information about recreation programs and affordable access to transit.

• Environment: Increasing opportunities to recycle and compost.

The report also recommended ensuring the participation and recognition of young people as part of the 2017 Canada 150 celebrations.

The working group suggested a project that would profile 150 community contributors over 150 days using social media as part of the 2017 celebrations.

To help with issues around transit and recreation affordability, one of the suggestions was for the engagement committee to work with organizers of youth-specific events to include the cost of transit as part of ticket prices.

Other suggestions include raising the age limit for student bus passes from 19 to 24 and a pilot project to allow youth volunteers to participate in free or reduced fee recreation programming.

The report was carried by the community and protective services committee and will now be heard by city council.

Barrhaven ward Coun. Jan Harder, centre left, joins Canadian musician Sneezy Waters, centre right, and two Iolanthe cast members leading up to the May 27 production of Iolanthe.

SUBMITTED

Savoy Society orchestra and cast to present Iolanthe Submitted

The Savoy Society of Ottawa has been working very hard since January on their production of Iolanthe, which opens at Cedarview Alliance Church on May 27, with shows through May 29.

It is a story about the upper house of Parliament written by W.S. Gilbert over 134 years ago and it is amazing how many of the same problems still exist in politics today.

The script has been updated and re-worked by stage director Meredith Mathews and colleagues, and she has added a cameo appearance by the legendary Canadian singer and songwriter Sneezy Waters.

There is even a Scottish dancing troupe and lots of fairies – fairies with personality!

It is a child friendly show with fairies that are larger than life characters who can be like naughty children at times.

They are pitted against the pompous Peers, which is the British name for senators.

Then there is a plot twist with the young couple who are not allowed to marry until the end of the show because of some misunderstanding.

There will be lots of tuneful singing by soloists and a chorus including a pit choir and lots of support from a 14-piece orchestra that even Sir Arthur Sullivan would have been proud of.

They are led by music director, Gloria Jean Nagy.

There is plenty of parking and the seats are comfy with great sight lines.

Come see one of the three shows offered – tickets are available online and also at the door.

The shows will be held at Cedarview Alliance Church, at 2784 Cedarview Rd., just south of Fallowfield Road, on May 27 and 28 starting at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on May 29 at 3 p.m.

There will also be a pay-what-you-can performance for students only, on May 26 at 7:30 p.m.

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

Q: My neighbor tells me that he pays his adult children out of his business corporation to fund their costs and expenses while they attend university, and saves a lot on tax compared to what he would pay if he personally funded their expenses. How do I set up my business corporation to do this?

The strategy used by your neighbor likely involves the issue of “dividend sprinkling” shares to his children. It works only with payments made to children over the age of 18 years. In essence, the strategy works to shift income from the high-tax rate paying parent, to the low-tax rate paying child. In many situations the entire dividend is received by the child free from additional tax. The strategy also works between spouses, shifting income from the high tax rate paying spouse to the lower tax rate paying spouse.

The attributes of “dividend sprinkling” shares typically include: a discretionary dividend right (meaning that you determine in any year the amount, if any, of the dividend paid); the right to redemption by the corporation for a fixed amount – often $10 (meaning that if you no longer wish to have the child own shares, the corporation has About Allan Snelling

the legal right to cancel them for a nominal payment); and are non-voting (meaning you are not giving your child a say in the operation of your business). When shares are issued by an existing corporation, it is advisable that a share freeze be completed prior to their issuance. The “share freeze” is a technique which locks in the current value of a corporation to the existing shareholders with dividends being paid out of increases in value or income of the corporation.

There are significant tax and legal complexities and traps associated with setting up and using a dividend sprinkling share structure - including the risk if not properly structured and implemented that amounts paid on the dividend sprinkling shares will be attributed to someone other than the child. Legal and accounting advice should be obtained.

Canada’s largest playground could at Mooney’s Bay? Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Plans by the city to construct what is being billed as Canada’s largest playground at Mooney’s Bay Park have caught some Riverside Park residents by surprise.

The city announced May 13 it is partnering with production company Sinking Ship Entertainment to build the 4,600-square-metre Canada-shaped playground, which will feature 10 mini parks representing Canada’s provinces and territories.

The construction of the company’s 42nd playground — and its largest at more than an acre — will be filmed and then aired in 10 episodes in the spring and summer of 2017 as part of the fourth season of Giver, a TVO children’s television series.

Kids from across Canada

will be recruited to star in the show and cameras will follow them as they help build the playground with Michael Lagimodiere, a contractor and designer.

For some Mooney’s Bayarea residents, the plans are a welcome surprise, but for others the announcement raises more questions than answers, including why there was no advance public consultation. A petition calling for the playground to be built elsewhere was also launched within days of the city’s announcement.

Members of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association found out about the project at the same time as the rest of the public.

“It would have been nice as a citizen … even as an association to be pre-warned about it, or even consulted,” said Craig Searle,

speaking as an association member.

The Riverside Park resident questioned why there was no community consultation over the playground as there was for the future redevelopment of the city-owned former Bayview school lot just across the street.

“It feels like it’s being fast-tracked … especially if construction is going to start soon to meet next year’s deadline,” Searle said.

As well, given the scope of the playground and the number of people it will draw to Mooney’s Bay Park, he said it raises the question about whether the park’s facilities will be able to accommodate an additional influx of parkgoers.

Parking is limited and the park’s washrooms are “abysmal,” Searle said, adding he also wonders how the city will deal with all of the goose poop at the park since the playground will draw even more children.

“I was kind of stunned the city would allocate a big part of the park to something like this,” said David Hutchinson, president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association.

“I think they should have talked to us,” he said, and echoed Searle about the need to improve park facilities.

“They can’t do any more without fixing the bathrooms.”

The playground was also

news to longtime Riverside Park resident and former city councillor George Brown.

Though he said the playground is good news, there should “absolutely” be community consultation on the project.

“I don’t think the city needs to ask, ‘should we do it.’ I have no problem with them saying, ‘we’re going to have this amazing new park,’” said Brown.

However, at one time there was a Mooney’s Bay Park advisory committee, and Brown said given the playground plans, the city should consider resurrecting it “so the users — the community association, the festivals — can be part of this discussion.”

City staff insist consultation will be part of the process.

“Consultation will be done through the children and volunteers who will participate in building those areas,” Dan Chenier, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said in an email.

“This reflects the concept and approach taken by Giver for their projects across the province,” he said.

When asked why the city did not inform the public about the plans ahead of the May 13 announcement, Chenier said “the city could not disclose the idea and design of the project broadly,

as it is proprietary information that belongs to Sinking Ship Entertainment.”

City staff are planning to consult with the community “about some of the park amenities around the installation” of the playground, Chenier said, but did not elaborate. “In addition, the Sue Holloway fitness area is at the end of its useful life and will be replaced in 2017, after consultation with residents and users as to design and location in the park.”

Prep work has already been underway at the north end of the park.

First steps included removing shrubs and cutting down 16 trees at the site.

Some of the trees will be replaced, River Coun. Riley Brockington told Metroland Media in a previous interview.

Three aging and condemned footbridges at the north end will be removed this spring, as will be the aging Sue Holloway Fitness Park. Brockington has said the community will be consulted on a design and new location for the fitness park.

MONEY

The city is contributing $1 million to the playground from the citywide cash-inlieu-of-parkland fund “in recognition of the citywide scope and appeal of the playground,” Chenier said, noting that the city’s contri-

bution will leverage “similar investments from other funding sources.

The Giver TV show has set up a gofundme.com page to raise $150,000 for playground equipment, family travel costs and lunches and refreshments for participants.

The production company hopes the playground will set a Guinness World Record for having the longest set of continuous monkey bars in the world. Also noted on the show’s website is that the playground, when built, will actually be the largest outdoor playground ever constructed in North America.

It is being built to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday next year and will be officially opened on Canada Day in 2017.

In a statement, Mayor Jim Watson, Brockington and Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans, who chairs the city’s community and protective services committee, all touted the benefits of the new playground.

“The scope of this project promises to create a destination in River Ward,” Brockington said in a statement. “As a landmark attraction within the city, the playground will make this beloved park an even more vibrant community hub.”

Families and children have until May 27 to apply to take part in the construction project at giver150.com.

Algonquin College may be facing a $100 million class action lawsuit after the school’s test centre mistakenly emailed out the entrance test scores of 1,411 prospective students in March.

Law firm considering $100-million lawsuit against Algonquin College Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

A Toronto-based law firm has announced it is considering filing a $100-million class action lawsuit against Algonquin College after the college leaked students’ test results in March.

The college admitted on March 10 that its staff had mistakenly emailed out entrance test results for 1,411 prospective students.

Students affected had all applied to health programs and completed an entrance test, known as an AC-HPAT test. The emails sent by the college’s test centre to 40 of the applicants’ peers contained an Excel spreadsheet on which the 1,411 entrance test results were recorded.

According to a news release, lawyers with Flaherty McCarthy Litigation Counsel have begun consulting with some of the students

affected by the leak, which, in addition to test results, shared applicants’ names, email addresses, student numbers and Ontario College Application Service numbers, as well as their first program choice.

Although the college said in a statement that the leaked document would not have included any information that could be used to impersonate the affected people, a news release by Flaherty McCarthy argues the opposite.

“The alleged dissemination of personal private information such as the information disseminated in this case can result in identity theft,” the release said. “And can lead to significant legal and financial problems for victims of criminals who exploit data breaches for financial gain.”

Algonquin College and Flaherty McCarthy Litigation Counsel would not comment on the proposed lawsuit.

Medical company receives funds to grow product line Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A local health care company has received $1.5 million from the provincial government in order to expand its line of bedside blood testing devices.

Three Ottawa MPPs were at Epocal in south Ottawa on May 24 to announce the funding, which was actually given to the company in 2015.

Since the funding was received, the company has opened a second facility near its Walkey Road facility on Brookfield Road.

The 2015 funds have also meant more than 50 new hires for the company. It has hired manufacturing workers and supervisors, as well an engineers and medical experts as the company has expanded its product line.

The product looks similar to a credit card reader that would be used in a retail store. Blood can be taken at the bedside and put onto a credit card sized chip which is inserted into the portal and processed. Once processed, it tells doctors information about blood such as blood gases, electrolytes and metabolites.

It saves a lengthier trip to a lab to have the blood work done, as the machine only

The blood analysis card and tester that Epocal, a south Ottawa based company, manufactures. takes three minutes to process the blood work results.

Plant manager Brett Fogg said the government funding has been a “catalyst for growth” for the company.

Epocal received the funding through the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, which funds eligible projects up to 15 per cent.

Ontario has a history in the medical manufacturing industry, said OttawaOrléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde. Lalonde also serves as the parliamentary assistant to the minister of economic development, employment and

infrastructure.

“We read every week in the newspaper about manufacturing moving,” she said, adding that local companies must find innovative ways to keep jobs at home. It’s especially important in the medical sector, where she said innovative technologies can help maintain a good healthcare system at a reasonable cost as the province’s population ages.

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said the medical field is to south Ottawa what automotive manufacturing is to a city such as Windsor, with local hospitals, research labs, and medical manufacturing.

“It means jobs, it’s not just health care — which is important — but it means jobs,” Fraser said, of the Epocal product line expansion.

The product line expansion project has meant the installation of two new production lines, upgraded equipment, and a new test card with upgraded capabilities over a four year timeline.

It’s expected to be completed by 2018.

The province is still accepting applications for the Eastern Ontario Development Fund from qualified businesses.

Festival in ‘holding pattern’ amid Mooney’s Bay playground project Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The number of people sounding the alarm over the lack of community consultation around plans to construct the nation’s largest children’s playground at Mooney’s Bay Park continues to grow.

Holly Tarrison, executive director of Hope Volleyball SummerFest, an annual event that draws 40,000 people to the park every July, only learned about the project through the festival grapevine, and had to push the city for a meeting in her quest for answers just days before the project was announced May 13 Even then, she said, too many details were left up in the air.

“It’s hard to put on a fun, safe event when there are too many ‘what ifs’ and ‘we don’t knows,’” said Tarrison. “And someone must know.”

The city is partnering with TV production company Sinking Ship Entertainment to construct a $2-million

4,600-square-metre playground at the north end of the park.

The build will involve children and will be filmed for the Giver television series, starting July 15 – the day that setup begins for Hope. The Hope festival takes place the next day.

“That’s assuming they’ll be on time too because they were saying that shovels would be in the ground already and nothing’s being done right now, other than they took out the trees,” Tarrison said, referring to the recent removal of 16 trees at the north end of the site.

She got a look at the playground site map the day before the city announced the project.

The Canada-shaped playground will be built in proximity to Hope’s backstage concert area.

It’s not that festival organizers are against the plans.

The concern is around the lack of consultation and advance notice.

“We weren’t really acknowledged as somebody this would affect,” Tarrison said. “All we needed was information so we could adapt.”

River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward includes Mooney’s Bay, agrees the lack of consultation is problematic.

“I think the whole process stinks. There was not an opportunity taken before the public announcement was made on May 13 to fully make the community aware,” he said.

He has since told the city solicitor and the parks and recreation department manager that change is in order.

“While I understand the confidentiality between the city and the proponent and

the proprietary nature of this particular project … there had to be and there has to be going forward a mechanism in place where more details can be released to make sure the community’s aware of what the city’s engaged in,” Brockington said.

But John Brooman, president and chief executive of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, said the city has kept him in the loop about the playground plans since midFebruary.

“Do I want it to happen?

There’s a fair bit of stress involved,” he said.

This year’s festival holds special significance since a delegation from China and the Philippines will be coming to survey the event.

“At the end of the day, 2016 is very important for us to look good,” Brooman said.

The hope is the delegates will agree to send 600 paddlers to participate in the 2017 festival to make Canada’s birthday

celebrations in Ottawa extra special.

Festival officials have assurances from the city that prep work at the park ahead of the playground’s construction will wrap by end of day June 16.

That would give the festival team the six days it needs to prepare for the largest fundraising festival in the city, from June 23 to 26.

The city has said it will provide festival organizers with sandbags to secure 82 team tents on top of a ground covering that is necessary ahead of work on the playground.

That membrane can’t be staked with tent pegs.

“The bottom line with this is if everybody does what they say they’re going to do, we’ll be fine,” Brooman said.

“What 2017 looks like, we don’t know, 2017 is a whole different ballgame because we have to redesign the whole site around this thing,” he said “Those (82) tents will need to go somewhere.”

Eli El-Chantiry was recently elected president of the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards.

El-Chantiry takes top job on provincial board Staff

Ottawa Ward 5 Councillor Eli El-Chantiry, the Ottawa Police Services Board chair, has been elected president of the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB).

El-Chantiry, who was the OAPSB vice-president for 2015-2016, was elected to the top position at the association’s annual meeting May 13 in Niagara Falls.

“I am honoured to be elected by my colleagues to lead the OAPSB and I look forward to continuing the important work that is already underway to modernize the province’s Police Services Act and improve policing in our communities,” said El-Chantiry in a news release.

He also served on the OAPSB board in 20052006 and 2007-2008.

El-Chantiry has been a member of the Ottawa Police Services Board from January 2003 to the present, with the exception of a six-month break in service between January and June 2007. He served as chairman from October 2005 to Decem58 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, May 26, 2016

ber 2006 and from January 2009 to the present.

During his years on the Ottawa Police Services Board, El-Chantiry has played a leadership role in the province and has worked hard to address challenges facing policing and police governance, says the OAPSB release.

“He has been a leader in advocacy with the provincial government, including calling for changes to the Police Services Act with regard to the police arbitration process, suspension of officers with pay when they have been charged with serious criminal offences, and the need for sustainability of policing to address escalating costs,” adds the release.

El-Chantiry was the first recipient of the Emil Kolb Award of Excellence in Police Governance, awarded by the Canadian Association of Police Governance in 2014.

The Ottawa Police Services Board is the civilian body responsible for governing the Ottawa Police Service. It is responsible for the provision of “adequate and effective police services” to City of Ottawa residents.

Proposal for stormwater charge pushed to the fall Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said the fact that a decision to defer a new stormwater rate until the fall is proof that public consultation works.

“The most important thing to remember is, it’s not a done deal,” Darouze said, adding staff decide to put the proposal on hold after hearing how much rural residents are paying into the municipal drain system.

Darouze said there were four public consultations in the rural areas that were

very well attended.

“This worked exactly like it’s supposed to,” he said, adding Mayor Jim Watson said he heard residents concerns.

The city hosted a round of public consultations throughout March and April that looked at a rejigged water and sewer rate structure and a plan to recover money for stormwater services.

Rural residents flooded the meetings, protesting a plan to start billing the 45,000 residents who don’t currently receive a water bill from the city.

Under the proposal, rural residents would be on the hook for $2 million for stormwater management.

The city’s total stormwater management annual budget is $42 million, with $8.4 million allocated to the rural area.

A meeting held in West Carleton on March 29 was standing room only, and 50 people were turned away because there wasn’t room at the West Carleton Community Complex.

Adele Muldoon, who made the trek to the city hall public consultation from West Carleton, said

the city should have kept it the way it was before amalgamation.

Before that, residents paid an annual fee for the maintenance of ditches and culverts.

Muldoon says the ditches are now poorly maintained, adding one of her neighbours has trees growing in her ditch.

Darouze said it’s sentiments like that one, that sent staff back to the drawing board.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen yet,” he said. “We will hear in September.”

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) Auxiliary Police Unit is inviting Ottawa residents to join the Auxiliary Policing volunteer program.

The deadline for the latest round of applications is May 31.

The volunteer program is intended to enhance community-based policing by providing an opportunity for citizens to participate and volunteer with law enforcement.

Auxiliary police members provide a complementary service to sworn officers by assisting them while being under their supervision,” explained Sgt. Mark Nethercott, who oversees the program for Ottawa Police. “This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to contribute to safety in their community and has time to volunteer.”

There are currently nine members of the community who are taking part in the program.

Auxiliary members receive training to assist and support OPS initiatives by participating in public safety, crime prevention and community events. Auxiliary members also conduct routine non-police officer duties as assigned.

Applicants must be 18 years or older, possess a high school diploma and a valid Class G licence, be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, be of good moral character, meet a minimum general fitness level, and pass a background clearance check.

Due to the amount of time required in the selection and training process, Ottawa Police ask all members to commit for a minimum of two years (minimum of 160 volunteer hours per year, plus training).

Applications are being accepted until May 31. To complete an application, visit www.ottawapolice.ca.

Parks GM questioned on Mooney’s Bay mega park Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Residents want some questions answered over a proposal to build a mega park at Mooney’s Bay, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said at the May 19 community and protective services committee.

Egli wanted to know how long the city knew about the plan for the park before making the announcement.

Dan Chenier, the general manager for the parks and recreation department, took the hot seat to answer questions around the city’s contribution to the 4,600-square-metre play structure.

“I know I have gotten a lot of calls from residents who are looking for answers,” Egli said.

Chenier said Sinking Ship Entertainment approached the city on Jan. 5 – the announcement was made on May 13.

“The production company was in talks with the NCC (National Capital Commission) prior to discussions with the city,”

Chenier said, adding he couldn’t say which sites the company looked at before entering into negotiations with the city.

A spokesperson from the NCC wouldn’t comment on which sites were considered before the company began negotiations with the city.

The mega park will be built on the north end of the site.

It will be the 42nd park built by the production company.

The structure will be shaped like Canada and feature 10 mini parks representing the provinces. The construction will be filmed and aired in 10 episodes on Giver, a children’s TV show.

Organizers are also hoping to break a Guinness World Record by building the longest set of continuous monkey bars.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said when he works with city staff to build a park in his ward, they usually recommend not having monkey bars.

“Every time there’s a park built in my ward there’s resistance to monkey bars, and now we are building the world’s lon-

gest,” he said.

Chiarelli also said he was concerned about the fate of festivals like Dragon Boat and Hope Volleyball.

Chenier said the city has kept Dragon Boat organizers in the loop on the project since February.

Prep work for the park is slated for completion by June 16.

Chenier said the schedule was necessarily tight because work on the first of the 10 provinces has to start in July.

The city will provide festival organizers with sandbags to secure 82 team tents on top of a ground covering that is necessary ahead of work on the playground, Chenier said. That membrane can’t be staked with tent pegs.

Chenier said the work might interfere with bike parking planned for the site, so organizers are looking for an alternative location.

Sinking Ship will host a public open house in June, Chenier said, addressing questions around the lack of public consultations.

The project comes with a $2 million price tag.

The city’s portion will be $959,000. That’s the maximum amount under the capital partnership grant program, which comes from citywide cash-inlieu of parking dollars.

While several committee members talked about working on the process so the public can have their say, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish tried to put the issue in perspective.

“It’s not that often that people come to us with $1 million to fund a project of this nature,” he said, adding the festivals only come to Mooney’s Bay once a year.

“Let’s not look at a $1 million gift horse in the mouth.”

Notice of Community Consultation NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths

ROUTES AVAILABLE! We’re looking for Carriers to deliver our newspaper!

NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route.

• Deliver Right In Your Own Neighbourhood • Papers Are Dropped Off At Your Door • Great Family Activity • No Collections • Thursday Deliveries

This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter – reducing flight times and reducing fuel burn as well as related greenhouse gas emissions. RNP also enables Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA); these reduce level segments and are the quietest type of approach.

Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated.

No changes are proposed for departure routes.

The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while GHG reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year.

Call Today 613.221.6247

NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend the following Open House Consultation Events:

Open house in development for Mooney’s Bay playground plans Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A town hall meeting is in the works to give Ottawa residents the chance to discuss the children’s playground that will be built this summer at Mooney’s Bay Park.

It’s the latest development following an outcry from residents upset at the lack of community consultation on the project before the city announced May 13 it will partner with television production company, Sinking Ship Entertainment, to build a $2-million 4,600-squaremetre playground, billed as the largest in Canada.

Many in opposition say they are not against the construction of the playground, but the choice of location.

The community open house scheduled for May 31 at a to-be-determined location is in addition to a June 1 casting call for local children and their families who want to be part of the construction effort when it is filmed this summer for the fourth

Children help construct a new playground in Ingersoll, Ont., with TV host Michael Lagimodiere in this undated promotional photo taken during the filming of Sinking Ship Entertainment’s Giver TV show. The show’s next build is at Mooney’s Bay Park. season of TVO’s award-winning Giver children’s show, said the show’s producer Rennata López.

Show officials are working with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and Volunteer Ottawa to co-ordinate the location of the casting

call, which will give people living in the Ottawa area the chance to audition in person. Volunteer Ottawa is also helping the show’s officials recruit volunteers, since adults and parents are needed to help.

“We invite the children to

come and contribute ideas to the project,” said López, a Toronto-based producer.

Those hoping to be in the show can also apply online.

“We’ve already been overwhelmed with volunteers and businesses who want to donate services and their

time for the project,” said Lopez, adding the show has also already received a number of applications from children across Canada.

Each of the 10 episodes will star six kids ages seven to 13 — nine groups in total — who will help design and construct each of the 10 mini parks reflecting different provincial themes. The structures will be built in the order of Confederation, beginning with Ontario.

Ontario Park, as it will be known, will have the theme of ‘cities under construction in Ontario.’

At the end of this summer, when construction wraps, the play structures together will resemble a map of Canada.

The final episode of the series will feature a timelapse video of the full build-out.

“A special live part of that episode will be the opening ceremony on Canada Day, 2017,” López said, adding that the first episode will air Canada Day. Guinness World Record

officials will also be present during the official opening to judge if the playground establishes a new world record for the longest continuous set of monkey bars.

“The record to beat is 392 feet (119 metres) in the U.K.,” said López, adding the Mooney’s Bay playground set will measure more than 400 feet or 129 metres.

Construction will begin July 5 and continue until about August 29, with some days off in between each of the three-day builds.

“Multiple locations” in Ottawa were considered, and the NCC-owned Mooney’s Bay Park and Britannia Beach were the frontrunners. Andrew Haydon Park in the west end was another option.

“Once we saw Mooney’s Bay, I mean, it’s a beautiful site,” said Lopez.

Air traffic controllers rally to support Fort Mac team Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

For air traffic controllers, managing activity in the skies above is not just a career.

For that reason Peter Duffey wasn’t the least bit surprised when controllers working out of the Fort McMurray International Airport wanted to stay on the job even after neighbourhoods were being evacuated as wildfires raged out of control around the northern Alberta city.

They had planned to take shelter in the fire hall or the airport terminal, if need be.

“They wanted to keep the tower open. They knew there was going to be a lot of flights coming and going,” said Duffey, president of the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association, which has its head office in Ottawa’s Glebe Annex community.

It was May 3, and Duffey was keeping in regular con-

tact with his regional vicepresident and his members’ employer, Nav Canada.

Both were keeping tabs on the nine-member team of Fort McMurray air traffic controllers and their families.

“But then the town, very shortly after that, announced there was a mandatory evacuation for everybody, including all the airport personnel,” said Duffey. “It happened in a matter of hours.”

His team and their families grabbed what they could, and quickly headed for places such as Calgary or Edmonton. Over the next few days, they didn’t know if their homes were still standing.

At the onset of that agonizing waiting period, Duffey came up with the idea of launching an online fundraiser.

“The response was just extraordinary,” he said.

The initial $5,000 goal was quickly surpassed, and

was incrementally raised to $30,000 within 48 hours due to the “phenomenal” response.

So far, the fundraiser has generated more than $43,000 for the Fort Mac air traffic controllers, to help them rebuild and ensure they have a cushion of support during such a challenging time.

“It’s even more mindblowing when you consider we only have a shade under 2,000 people,” Duffey said.

The union represents 1,950 air traffic controllers, instructors, course developers and systems automation specialists from Vancouver to Gander, NL. Air traffic controllers and their unions from around the world have chipped in, evidence of the camaraderie that comes with the specialized occupation.

An online fundraising campaign launched by the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association, which has its head office in Ottawa, has so far generated more than $43,000 in support of Fort McMurray air traffic controllers affected by the wildfires.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, expect to be very busy in the days ahead. Make a concerted effort to be more aware of what’s around you so that you don’t miss a thing.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, financial questions keep popping up and you just keep pushing them aside for later. If need be, work with a professional to establish your goals.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do something out of your comfort zone this week, Gemini. When you do so, you may find out you have a wider array of interests than you first believed.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, just when you think you’ve figured out how to play the game, they go and change all of the rules on you. Adaptability is one of your biggest strengths.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It’s time to make your love life a priority, Leo. If you’re in a relationship, you may find it needs a little nurturing to get it back to the level it was a few months ago.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you come up against things you don’t understand this week, ask people whose opinions you trust for their points of view. Educating yourself will help you move ahead.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Take some time out of your schedule for some much-needed pampering.

Whether your idea of special treatment is a massage or simply sleeping in, make it a priority.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Delegation will be your favorite word of the week, Scorpio. When the going gets tough, start delegating the tasks that have you stumped. This will ensure everyone stays productive.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be called upon to lend your special skills to a situation this week. While it may not be a job you relish, you know ultimately it has to get done.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, speak your mind because if you don’t do it others are not going to advocate for your needs. That’s why it’s so important for you to fight for every cause, no matter how small.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, work may be getting on your nerves, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. It can be challenging, but you will handle it.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a few days away from the daily grind will help you recharge your batteries. Turn off your phone and enjoy the well-deserved respite.

Ontario’s provincial parks will be open to the public free of charge on July 15 for all day-use visitors, as part of the world-wide Healthy Parks Healthy People movement.

Greenspace vital to health

Research shows access to nature and greenspace plays a vital role in physical and mental health, well-being and development.

For example: • playing in natural environments is essential to children’s development of observa-

tion, problem-solving, reasoning, creativity and imagination; • contact with nature has restorative properties, increasing energy and improving feelings of vitality and focus; • time outside lifts levels of Vitamin D, which is essential for calcium absorption and can help mitigate several diseases and mental health issues; • spending time outdoors is linked to increased work productivity and creativity,

and decreased levels of stress and anxiety.

In 2015, Ontario’s more than 330 provincial parks received more than 9.8 million visits from people around the world and brought in almost $90 million in revenue, which supports jobs and businesses across the province. Last year’s free day-use day for Healthy Parks Healthy People drew an estimated 14,802 visitors.

Strawberry meringue cake easy to make Also known as Brita cake, this Finnish vanilla cake meringue combo appears difficult to make, but it’s not.

Don’t worry if it’s not perfect looking, it will taste delicious with juicy fresh strawberries.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 22 minutes Chilling Time: up to 4 hours Serves: 8 Ingredients

• 3 eggs, at room temperature • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt • 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, at room temperature • 2/3 cup (150 mL) granulated sugar • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk Meringue layer: • 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar • 1 cup (250 mL) 35 per cent whipping cream • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla • 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced strawberries

Preparation instructions

Draw a 12- x 7-inch (30 x 18 cm) rectangle on parchment paper; turn over and line a baking sheet. Set aside.

Separate eggs, placing yolks in small bowl and whites in medium bowl. In separate small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with 2/3 cup (150 mL) of sugar until creamy.

Beat in yolks, one at a time, scraping down sides until well blended. Beat in half the flour mixture followed by milk and remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides as needed. Scrape onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread to fit the traced rectangle.

Meringue: Using clean beaters and bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Beat in granulated sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time; until stiff glossy peaks form. Carefully spread over cake batter. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 20 to 22 minutes or until meringue

is very pale golden and a skewer inserted through cake comes out clean.

Cool completely on baking sheet on rack. Trim cake to make a rectangle. Cut cake in half crosswise to form two pieces. With large flat metal spatula, carefully transfer half of the cake to flat serving plate, meringue side up.

In medium chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream on cake layer. Scatter two cups (500 mL) of the strawberries over top. Top with second cake layer.

Cover and refrigerate up to four hours. Just before serving scatter with remaining strawberries.

Help for Fort Mac continues Continued from page 71

With the union’s campaign, another control tower’s fundraiser and the employer’s matching dollars, about $100,000 has so far been generated.

And while it was a relief when the Fort Mac controllers learned all of their homes had been spared, there is still much uncertainty about what exactly they are going home to.

It will be important to figure out how the controllers can resume control of the tower and Fort McMurray’s airspace while maintaining a wide berth for emergency air operations.

“What we’re working on doing is trying to figure out how to get flights in and out of Edmonton and Calgary and Fort McMurray while they can still continue their
