South March High School students master their creativity Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The criteria was simple, the students could create whatever they wanted. The results were on the display at the South March High School on May 27 for the students’ creativity fair. It was the second year for the event. “There was no subject,” said teacher Brad Dillabaugh
“It was to engage the kids to put their heart into something and overcome stuff and building confidence.” 50 projects
There were about 50 projects from the Grade 4 students; that was a wide variety to discover from the Ottawa Senators, a sculpture recreation of a book character, to a robot made from computer parts and superhero capes and plenty more.

Cups of lemonade help fill cancer research need Staff
It can take something as small as a cup of lemonade to support cancer care. Three girls managed to raise $460 during the Stephen Leacock Public School barbecue on May 26. The fourth Lemonade
Standemonium Day is set for June 4. The campaign has kids host a lemonade stand in their neighbourhood before or after the particular day. The funds will benefit the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and be directed
to cancer coaching. Kanata mom Jenna Fyfe organized the stand at the school in the Beaverbrook neighbourhood. Her family has been touched by cancer and that is why they got involved. Sophia McLaughlin, So-
phie Doucette and Cate Patterson poured 230 cups of lemonade during the Stephen Leacock barbecue. “They’re all in Grade 1,” said Fyfe. “Their team is called the Leacock Lemonaders and this money together with their online
fundraising brings them to $1,725 raised this month. They will also be holding a stand on June 4.” The concept of Lemonade Standemonium was created by kids to help local families facing cancer. The hope is to surpass $250,000 for an
overall total, and because of sponsors like Cardel Homes, Palladium Insurance and Accora Village, 100 per cent of the funds go directly to helping families. The goal is to have more than 200 stands rights across the region for June 4.

The big bike does a heart good Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Big Bike has been around for 24 years and yet, there’s still plenty of people who have never gone for a ride on it. The Big Bike initiative is all about raising money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Last year, said Jeff Larocque of Heart and Stroke, the fundraising efforts raised $8 million as there were other bikes dispatched across the country. Seven teams took to the streets from the Richcraft Recreation Complex on May 26 on one of the biggest bikes around. It weighs
about 900 kilograms and can fit about 29 riders. Typically, those looking to pedal have to raise a minimum $50. “It’s completely human powered,” said Jeff Larocque “This year we are aiming for a goal of $330,000 because we expanded into Renfrew and Lanark County.” “The Big Bike was a way of engaging local companies,” said Jenna Sudds of the Kanata North BIA.
“There are over 500 companies in the association and a chance to get them out and have a team-building membership.” The fundraising efforts raised over $13,000. The Big Bike moved east to Sparks Street later in the week. One of the next sightings will be in Stittsville on Aug. 18, said Larocque. For more information, check out bigbike.ca.

Overcoming packing anxiety
O
ur family vacation budget is minimal. Typically, when we do go on vacation, it’s in a tent in a provincial park for a few days. The first trip of the season is always tricky, but after that, we’ve got our list, the camping gear is kept in a single place and the rest of the summer is a no-brainer. Getting the five of us ready for a two-week long trip to Europe, with minimal luggage allowance, however, seemed like a mammoth task. I’ve long suffered from packing anxiety. It’s not about having a list. Lists are easy. I love lists. I can make lists until I’m blue in the face.
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse But something always causes me to deviate from said list. And there’s that constant, undermining voice in my head: What if I forget something? How can I prepare for every possible event and weather situation? How will I survive with only two pairs of footwear?
Whether it’s a short weekend jaunt to visit family or something more elaborate like an overseas flight, I have enough trouble packing my own suitcase. Attempting to co-ordinate a week’s worth of outfits for the offspring had the potential to drive me to drink. (Call it medi-
cation). Fortunately, my spouse is pretty sane and level headed and generally makes up for my shortcomings in this area. He offered to send me to the spa for a day while he packed everything, including my wardrobe. I had flash thought of my colour-blind spouse coordinating outfits, shoes and jewelry for me and the children and decided to get over myself and my packing anxiety pronto. Two weeks before the trip, I washed everything in the house, including towels, clothing and outerwear. After it was all folded and consuming most of the basement floor, I donated half of it to charity. (I figured the packing anxiety that’s only existed since I became a mother, partly stems from
having too many items and therefore too many choices). Then I packed the obvious – a week’s worth of underwear and socks for each family member and, because we’d be spending the bulk of our time in Scotland, rain gear. Lovely to know the weather will be reliable. From there, I hit a wall. Again, not because I didn’t have a list to tell me we each needed two bottoms, five tops, a sweater and a toothbrush. I had the list. But I still had to make choices from the remaining items on the basement floor about which bottoms, which tops, which sweater and which toothbrush. Then I read the best piece of packing advice ever: figure out what you normally wear in a week and pack that. Perfect. Not
only practical, it also gave me an excuse to procrastinate. So I waited a week. I monitored my clothing and my kids’ clothing in what happened to be a week of typically Scottish weather. At the end of the week, I looked at what was in the laundry hampers, washed it and immediately packed what came out of the dryer. Then, in accordance with the article, I removed half the items and slammed the cases shut. We’re still a few days away from our trip. In my mind, however, the packing is complete. The undermining, anxiety-inducing voice continues to pop up from time to time, but I just quash it by telling myself that it doesn’t really matter what I’ve packed, the airline will likely lose our suitcases anyway.

Sens and city big winners with Phillips
I
t was expected. The May 26 retirement of Chris Phillips as an NHL player was a day of celebration in more ways than one. A celebration of what is so rare these days, a professional sports career that started and ended with the same team. A celebration of all that Phillips had accomplished on the ice as a hockey player, and a celebration that Phillips, after just under 20 years as a staple of the Senators’ blueline, will be staying with the team in a front office role that involves community programs, alumni relations and business development. That front office role plays to Phillips’ strengths not only as a former hockey player but as a man, who along with his wife Erin and his family, has shown over his time in this city that as a member of the community he now calls home, he has always been an all-star. Let’s be honest, as a No. 1 overall NHL draft pick in 1996, Phillips was not the game changer for an organization that some other number ones have been. He was no Sidney Crosby or Mario Lemieux, or Connor McDavid.
He had a long, and productive career for the Ottawa Senators, but you could never call Phillips a superstar on the ice. The Senators did not score a so-called generational top draft pick player such as Crosby has become, when they picked Phillips first overall in the NHL draft. But the Senators did score big with Phillips in getting a special person who has enriched our community through his tireless efforts with charities and other community initiatives that he, and his family, have taken to heart. Phillips has been a community superstar, and at the end of the day, that will always be more important than how many points a player gets. “Today is a happy day,” Phillips, who goes down in team history as having played more games for the organization than anyone else, said at his retirement press conference. Indeed, despite all the well-deserved accolades that have been coming Phillips’ way, perhaps the best news is that Phillips and his family now call Ottawa their home and they will continue to enrich our community for years to come. And, for the City of Ottawa, that is as big a win as you can get on or off the ice.
Laser awareness may not be enough
P
eople do behave badly and preventing them from doing so is one of the things we expect government to do. So it was with a certain amount of interest that we anticipated Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s response to a growing misuse of laser pointers. While laser pointers have many positive uses, aiming them at airplanes is not one of them. An increasing number of people have been doing that. In the U.S. there were more than 5,000 laser incidents reported last year, up about 1,000 from the year before. In Canada, there were 600 incidents and there have been 148 incidents so far this year. Some laser pointers can shoot beams as far as eight kilometres. When someone on the ground aims a high-powered laser at an airplane, the pilot can be
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town temporarily blinded and disoriented, with potentially disastrous consequences for him and his passengers. The head of the Air Canada Pilots Association, wants laser pointers to be listed as banned weapons that could be seized by border agents and police. The British Airline Pilots association demanded that laser pointers be classified as offensive weapons after a Virgin Atlantic flight was forced to turn back after it was struck by a beam outside Heathrow Airport in March. So, what did Canada’s trans-
port minister do? He said the RCMP and local police will step up enforcement. He said offenders will face up to $900,000 in fines, five years in prison, or both. That was good. But mostly he announced an awareness campaign. It will make use of social media to tell people that pointing lasers at airplanes is bad. There’s a hashtag and everything. And there’s a YouTube video too. Will that really do it, do you think? The former Conservative government tried something similar a year or two ago. Obviously, it didn’t work, so there should be some incentive to go further. But this government isn’t much in favour of outright bans, as witness its policy on marijuana. The same day as Garneau’s announcement, Bill Blair, parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice and the government’s point

person on the legalization of marijuana, criticized the number of marijuana dispensaries that are popping up in Canada’s big cities. They were reckless and illegal, he said. But he didn’t say if the feds were going to do anything about them. Cities are trying to handle the problem through municipal licensing department. Perhaps the feds could shame them on Twitter? Returning to lasers, doesn’t it make sense to stop these things from being sold and distributed? Even those who celebrate the positive uses of lasers say that there is no justification for laser pointers beyond a certain power. It is already illegal to point a laser at an aircraft, so it is not as if there is no precedent for acting. The government could draw a line, referencing the power of a laser, beyond which it would be illegal to sell or own. That might be more effective than hashtags

W. Erskine Johnston School was raising funds for CHEO on May 27. “There were 6,000 used books for sale,” said Grade 2/3 teacher Kelly Lewis. “In total W.E. Johnston Public School will be donating just over $7,800.” It was the second year for the sale, and expanded from just Grade 1 to 3 to the whole school this time around, said Lewis. The books were all donations made by the students. W. Erskine Johnston also asked students from George Vanier Catholic to venture to the sale. “I wanted to help out the kids at CHEO
with cancer,” said student Vincent Qin. He took on the work of sorting the various titles, which ranged from Curious George, Magic School Bus to Star Wars and Harry Potter. “The book sale brought in just over $1,500,” said Lewis. “Soft cover books were 50 cents and hard covers were a dollar. All of the books were in pristine condition.” Earlier in the month, the school also had a walkathon for CHEO, said Lewis. The students took donations from the community and trekked about 3 kilometres in the area. The school wants to donate in time for the CHEO telethon, which is set for June 4 and 5.

The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year. Where possible, portions of flight paths have been relocated over less populated areas. 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. This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter and that provide for a continuous descent.

Algonquin College unveils new senior care centre $1 million donation prompts public launch of centre operating since February Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
Canada experienced a population surge in the 20 years following the Second World War, and it is facing another demographic boom as the babies of 1946 become the seniors of 2016. With Ontario’s population of two million people over age 65 expected to double over the next 20 years, that demographic is driving critical dialogue around senior care in the province. Moved to action by that dialogue, Algonquin College officially unveiled its new Garbarino Girard Centre for Innovation in Seniors Care at a May 25 event at the school’s Woodroffe campus. “The need for a new approach to health and wellness is clear, and this new approach means that we must transform

Research Institute, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Carleton University. Nicknamed the “smart apartment” by those partners, it serves as a learning lab for Algonquin College students in various nursing and community studies programs, an applied research facility for Bruyére Research Institute, and a space where the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre can host a day program for seniors with dementia. It represents an approach to senior care that sees seniors increasingly served within their communities and homes, rather than in hospitals and long-term care facilities. During the centre’s unveiling, Marie-Lison Fougere, Ontario’s deputy minister of francophone affairs and senior affairs, stressed the need for healthcare centres, service providers and educational institutions to collaborate in order to approach care for the province’s aging population more holistically. “This drive towards better co-ordination and greater integration is absolutely critical if, as a society, we want to continue to improve access to social services,” Fougere said, adding that seniors represent the fastest growing segment of Ontario’s population. See WORD, page 11
Senior care innovation centre to drive research, foster practical learning Continued from page 10
“By 2017, Ontario will be home to more people over 65 than children under 15. That’s six months from now.” Students have worked with resource centre staff to care for 30 seniors each week since the centre first opened in February with help from a $365,000 contribution by the Champlain LHIN, but an additional $1 million donation by the estate of the centre’s namesake, Anita Garbarino Girard, will help outfit it with ground-breaking technological features. That donation is what prompted the May launch of the centre and the announcement of its official name. “Through Mrs. Garbarino Girard … this centre will be the standard for compassionate care for seniors, accelerate the learning for hundreds of students, promote the integrity of the healthcare professions,” Jensen said. “And underscore the need for respect of a generation that has given so much to ours.” The open concept space in the college’s A-building was built to allow retrofitting as more funding for monitoring technology becomes available. Eventually, the centre will be outfitted with motion sensors that can track

Institute. “Now we’re looking more and more at integrating the multiple sensors to look at mobility and cognition as a whole.” Designed to have the feel of an apartment, the centre features a laundry room with accessible shelving for clients in wheelchairs, a kitchen with an accessible stove and sink,
a sitting room with an activities area, senior-friendly seating and a herb garden, and a bedroom with a mechanical ceiling lift, geriatric chair, and a closet with accessible shelving. Although features such as the smart apartment’s mechanical bed and ceiling lift are not likely to be used by the its casual day program clients, Amy Desjardins, executive director of the Algonquin College Foundation, said that students nevertheless practice using those tools on a regular basis. “When the clients aren’t here, our students are still using the apartment as a lab for their classroom,” she said. “That’s how we all learn right? We learn by practice, and that’s what this smart apartment is going to allow.” Besides providing a hands-on training environment for students and a lab where researchers from Bruyére can continue to develop senior care technology, the incorporation of the day program hosted by the centre three days each week helps relieve over-taxed senior service centres in the city’s west end, according to Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Center. “This program is providing solutions in an overburdened healthcare system,
by reducing the west end adult day program waiting list, by reducing utilization of acute care resources, and by delaying admissions to long-term care facilities,” Jordan said. With June officially recognized as Seniors’ Month in Ontario, and the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation nearing its fundraising goal for the hospital’s new Acute Care of the Elderly Unit, the centre’s May 25 unveiling helped underscore the prominence of senior care as a growing
healthcare challenge in the province. According to Champlain LHIN CEO Chantale LeClerc, the space also serves as a reminder of how that challenge should be met. “I honestly can’t think of a better example to illustrate how we can do better for the people we serve,” LeClerc said. “But also for the future generation of healthcare workers that are going to be asked to deliver services in a different way.”

The government of Ontario announced on May 25 it will widen Highway 417 in an effort to ease congestion and shorten commute times.
The province plans to widen Highway 417 in an effort to ease congestion and shorten commute times in Ottawa. The announcement was made at the Ministry of Transportation office on May 25 by MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean Bob Chiarelli, MPP Ottawa South John Fraser and MPP for Ottawa-Vanier Madeleine Meilleur. Work is expected to begin this fall and is anticipated to be completed in 2020. The improvements planned include: * Widening Highway 417 from three to four lanes in each direction between Maitland Avenue and Carling Avenue * Repairing Merivale Road overpass bridges * Replacing sections of existing noise barriers “This project will create jobs and opportunities for residents
North Island Link Environmental Assessment and Functional Design Study Public Presentation at the Manotick Village and Community Association Annual General Meeting Tuesday, June 7 7 to 8 p.m. Manotick Arena and Community Centre, second floor 5572 Doctor Leach Drive The City of Ottawa is conducting a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the North Island Link Watermain in Manotick. The study will identify the preferred alignment to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The North Island Link will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River.
The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Consultation At the meeting, residents will learn of the preferred alignment for the watermain. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the project lead or email pgmpublicengagement@ottawa.ca by noon on Monday, June 6. More project information is available at ottawa.ca/northislandlink. For further information or to provide comments, please contact: John Bougadis, M.A.Sc., P.Eng.

and businesses living and working in the region,” Chiarelli said. According to the provincial government, the Highway 417 project is part of the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history, about $160 billion over 12 years. The exact cost of the local work was not released, as the government is still in the tendering process for that work. The government reports approximately 160,400 vehicles travel Highway 417 every day. Chiarelli said the widening is in response to the need to reduce congestion, but added people should be encouraged to ride their bikes or take transit. “We will need roads for the foreseeable future,” Chiarelli said. “We are not banning roads, but we are very transit oriented for the near future.” The city’s light rail transit Confederation Line, which runs from Tunney’s Pasture station in the west to Blair Road at Highway 174 in the east (Blair station), is expected to open in 2018. The province announced part of the funding will include paving and replacing overhead signs on Highway 416 between Fallowfield Road and Highway 417 and repairing bridges on Highway 417 from Richmond Road to Maitland Avenue. Paving overheard sign replacements will also be completed on Highway 417 from Island Park Drive to Nicholas Street, and paving will take place from the Highway 174 “Split” at Highway 417/Ottawa Regional Road 174 through to Ramsayville Road. 174 WIDENING
Chirelli said the expansion of Highway 174 from Trim Road to Rockland is the city’s responsibility, adding the idea of widenig the road has been resisted by the city. Currently, the Ontario government has provided funding to conduct an environmental assessment on the potential to widen the road. Meilleur said that conversation is ongoing, but there are no current plans to widen the highway at the moment.
Shop a hit with promgoers
Positive Change for Kanata South
Continued from page 1
“The idea appears simple,” said volunteer Nancy Hough. “Get people to donate prom dresses, shoes purses etc. and find a venue and set up a change room, decorate, put out some advertising and find volunteers and voila – you have the pop up shop.” The reality it’s not so simple, but with lots of help and hard work from students, teachers and administration, the shop took shape. Kurlicki staged the first Pop Up Prom Shop in the spring of 2015 for just one day. This year the operation ran on May 12 to 13 and was deemed an overwhelmingly success. “Mr. Chislett kindly allowed his com-tech room to be used for the two days, and what a transformation,” said Hough. “ESL students from Ms. Salyi’s class made row upon row of gigantic white tissue balls that were strung from the ceiling, creating a festive atmosphere.” The mirrors in the spacious change rooms were draped with tiny Christmas lights. Long prom dresses and short grad and prom dresses were colour coded and sized, then hung from racks made by Mr. Stasko. “He even whipped up an extra rack Thursday morning to put in the change room, so the girls could hang the dresses up while they tried them on,” said Hough. Baylianne Rich volunteered her time and organized the music that played during the day. There were photographers as well. Clara Nishida and Arwa Khalaf set up the lights and helped the girls pose for numerous shots of them in their new dresses. “Throughout the two days, shots of glee, screams of delight and laughter filled the room and the change rooms as the girls helped each other.” Aswini Ganesh took one look in the mirror and said, “I never knew I could look like this. I’m so elegant.” Kurlicki was thrilled with the turnout as she listened and watched the girls’ reactions. “It’s to let every girl feel like a princess and not let her miss such an important mile-
Allan Hubley City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Abbeyhill Hydro Project
Hydro Ottawa has begun a project to replace underground cables and transformers in the Glen Cairn area. This will involve directional boring and excavating an existing cable trench within Hydro Ottawa easements, boulevards and sidewalks on Abbeyhill Drive (between Banning Road and Eagleson Road), Surrey Lane (between Abbeyhill Drive and Country Lane West) and Country Lane West (between Surrey Lane and Village Green). This work is necessary to ensure reliability of the electricity distribution system in this neighbourhood. Work on this project will continue until the end of September and residents will notice an increased construction presence throughout the duration of the project, including excavation activities. In order to minimize noise concerns, Hydro will ensure that work is completed weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Traffic control will be implemented when required to ensure that roads and driveways remain accessible and safe to residents. Kanata West Pump Station Project The City of Ottawa is constructing a new pump station and forcemain along Maple Grove Road, Terry Fox Drive and Katimavik Road up to Eagleson Road.

The city will petition the province to pay for a discounted bus pass for low-income residents. A staff report said a pass discounted at 62 per cent would likely cost the city $3.3 million in lost revenue, and while the city’s transit commission struggled to find ways to afford it, it did agree to ask the province to foot the bill. Council approved the move on May 25. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans took the idea one step further. Deans put forward a motion asking the province to include transit in the calculation of basic needs for social assistance programs such as Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program. Deans said even with a discounted pass, low income residents may still not be able to afford the cost of taking a bus.

The University of Ottawa has announced it will launch a lecture series as a tribute to Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Bélanger this fall. An alumni, Bélanger has dedicated 21 years of his life to the public service and the lecture series will honour his contributions to the university and the FrancoOntarian community, as well as foster discussion and dialogue on political issues. “Mauril has remained close to his alma mater, the University of Ottawa,” said Allan Rock, the university’s president and a former federal Liberal cabinet minister who worked with Bélanger in the House of Commons in the past.

honouring
“The Mauril Bélanger Lecture Series was created as a way of honouring his involvement with and devotion to multiple causes, notably linguistic minorities and the Francophonie, particularly in Ontario.” The series is made possible thanks to the support of the Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair, which is devoted to the study of Canadian political institutions and their transformation in response to the changing conditions and practices of contemporary democratic governance. Bélanger expressed his gratitude to the university, stating he was truly touched by his alma mater’s initiative. “This series will be a great opportunity to discuss issues that are important to me just as much as they are to Canadians. My deepest thanks to the University of Ottawa,” Bélanger said. Bélanger has been Ottawa-Vanier’s MP since he won a byelection in 1995. He was easily re-elected in the 2015 election, with more than 57 per cent of the vote. Upon re-election, he submitted his name for the position of Speaker of the House of Commons, but withdrew his candidacy after he was diagnosed with ALS. This past March 9, members of all parties in the House of Commons applauded as Bélanger sat in the Speakers chair in the House of Commons for the day, presiding with the use of an iPad app that generated a computerized voice because he can no longer speak. The first lecture of the series will be held next fall.

A voting system based on the principle of proportionality is the most effective way to achieve greater diversity in Canadian politics, say new supporters of the Every Voter Counts Alliance committed to increasing the representation of women and visible minorities in the House of Commons. Following the announcement of a parliamentary committee to study electoral reform with a special emphasis on gender equity and inclusiveness, a growing number of supporters have come on board the campaign for proportional representation. The government has committed to tabling legislation by next April to scrap Canada’s winner-take-all majoritarian system before the next federal election in 2019. “It is time to get an electoral system that respects the common will, equality between women and men, diversity and regions,” says Mélanie Sarazin, president of the Fédération des femmes du Québec. “We must change our archaic voting system. When it comes to women’s representation, the status quo is not acceptable. The minister thinks that our electoral reform must
lead to the adoption of a system that is efficient and legitimate, that ensures that votes are justly reflected in the electoral results: only proportional representation can truly respect this key principle.” The federation is among one of the newest supporters of the Every Voter Counts Alliance, which has grown to 49 organizations since its February launch. “The federal government says increasing the diversity of the House of Commons and politics more broadly must be one of the guiding principles of electoral reform. Evidence tells us proportional representation is the way to go to get more women into the House of Commons. We need parity in the House as well as in cabinet,” says Paulette Senior, CEO of YWCA Canada. Adds Donna Dasko, cofounder and past national chair of Equal Voice: “After the 2015 federal election, only 26 per cent of our Parliament is female – an increase of only one point over 2011. We must do better. An electoral system based on proportionality would be the best way to achieve this.” Over 90 countries use a proportional voting system, including 85 per cent
of OECD countries, such as Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and Denmark. Among the Top 10 countries in The Economist’s Intelligence Union rankings, eight have built proportionality into the voting systems used in their main legislative chambers. “The federal government has promised to get rid of our majoritarian first-pastthe-post voting system, so now it’s time to get on with designing a made-inCanada proportional voting system. This is good news because studies show that proportional representation can improve the representation of women by up to 8 per cent. This would help improve Canada’s current 49th place in the world on women’s political representation,” says Susan Eng, counsel to the National Pensioners Federation. Adds Debbie Douglas, executive director of the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants: “Proportional representation is a strong way to ensure that those who are under-represented in the Canadian Parliament, such as racialized people including racialized women, have a better chance of having their voice heard and included in our democracy.”

A simple phone call can make a huge difference. Organizers of the CHEO Telethon are preparing for the 33rd annual 24-hour event June 4 and 5, the CHEO Foundation’s largest fundraiser in support of the regional children’s hospital, which provides
care to children from across eastern Ontario, western Quebec and from as far away as Nunavut. Last year it raised a record-breaking $7.94 million, up from $7.1 million in 2014. “It really shows that the community doesn’t want the hospital to go anywhere,” said Jacqueline Belsito, vice-president of philanthropy and community engagement at the CHEO Foundation. “They really secure the future by participating.” Televised on CTV, the live broadcast launches on June 4 at 7 p.m. and will feature poignant interviews with current and former patients and their families, as well as some of CHEO’s medical team. They will reveal “the real breadth and depth that’s going on here,” Belsito said. “It’s not just an emergency department.” More than 70,000 infants, children and youth come through the hospital’s ER doors every year, but there is so much more that’s offered in terms of long-term and complex care, she explained. Allison Franceschina, a nurse and manager of CHEO’s neonatal intensive care unit, the neonatal transport team, followup clinic and clinical care respiratory therapy, will appear on the upcoming show. She will help tell the story of a new isolette deck being donated for the transport unit, which is a mini intensive care unit on wheels. It has a ventilator, suction machine, respiratory support, a full monitoring system and lighting and will improve care for the team’s youngest and smallest patients that the team responds to throughout eastern and northern Ontario. The purchase of such expensive equipment is largely thanks to the community’s support. “We have to find equipment that fits a 23-week pre-term gestation baby up to a child that’s 18 years of age, ” said Franceschina. She took part in last year’s telethon, answering phones with some of the 1,000 volunteers who made the event a success. “It was so nice to talk with donors and actually thank them verbally and express how much gratitude and appreciation we have for them taking the time to acknowledge the work that we do for our patients,” she said.

Six patients will be the stars of the show as they share their experiences at CHEO, including a teen diagnosed with a severe brain injury and a baby diagnosed with cancer while still in the womb. “There’s some real miracles,” said Belsito. The telethon will also highlight key advancements CHEO researchers and scientists are making towards improved treatment and care. Money raised this year during the telethon will go toward research, staff training and toys, games and crafts for patients, as well as medical equipment. CHEO is looking to buy another digital mobile x-ray unit that can be wheeled right to a patient’s bedside. Priced at $220,000, it’s considered a big-ticket item, but means patients don’t have to be moved to the x-ray department for a scan. “Its disruptive and frankly some are too sick to

Kanata man recognized for work towards a more tolerant world Kanata resident Patrick Mascoe is a teacher with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. He has been working in one of Ottawa’s most economically deprived neighbourhoods for the last 16 years. Thirteen years ago, he established a tolerance initiative that has helped to unite the city’s Muslim and Jewish students. The grassroots initiative
has continued to grow and now the students at Charles H. Hulse Public School pride themselves on being Tolerance Ambassadors and community leaders. Mascoe has used the lessons of the Holocaust to reach his predominantly Muslim student base in order to teach and promote tolerance, respect and responsible citizenship. The program’s success has begun
to garner international acclaim. Three years ago, Mascoe was invited to Jerusalem as a guest speaker at a worldwide Holocaust Education Conference at Yad Vashem. Since that time, he has worked alongside Yad Vashem Canada as the moderator of their Ambassadors of Change program. The program brings high school students of diverse faiths and
cultures from across Ontario and Quebec together along with Holocaust survivors in order to facilitate greater understanding. Mascoe’s “tolerance initiative” has been publicly recognized by former Ontario premier Dalton
of the Cantor Kraus, Catalyst for Change Award. The national teaching award is named after Cantor Moshe Kraus, who while imprisoned during the Holocaust sang songs of hope to his fellow prisoners in order to keep their spirits up.
McGuinty, former prime minister Stephen Harper and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and by the Daniel Pearl Foundation in Los Angeles. On May 5 at the National War Museum, Mascoe became the first-ever recipient

Electrifying news for cruises along the Rideau Canal Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Things are about to get electric on the Rideau Canal. Starting mid-June, Ottawa Boat Cruise will be launching its first, and one-and-only in North America, 100 per cent electric boat on the canal.
I’m really proud of it, I can’t wait to see it on the water. Martin Lauzon

Be a SuperHERO for CHEO! cheofoundation.com
The company tested the waters on May 26 in Sanscartier Park in Gatineau, where the boat was released into the Ottawa River for the first time. Ottawa Boat Cruise president Robert Taillefer said he was interested in building an electric
boat in an effort to reduce emissions along the canal, adding that he is proud of the elctric boat project and it will be a legacy for his children. Marc Marine in Gatineau built the boat in 12 weeks and it took about 2,000 hours. Martin Lauzon of Marc Marine said the vessel will be very quiet as it makes its way along the canal. “I’m really proud of it, I can’t wait to see it on the water,” Lauzon said. The boat has large solar panels on its roof, and can seat 98 guests in a new, hop on and hop off, service. Taillefer said Ottawa Boat Cruise will run tests in the Ottawa River for the next week or so, with the goal being to have the cruise open for business by the middle of June. More information about the electric boat is available at rideaucanalcruises.ca.

Nature museum unveils brand new dinosaur Shipp, who found the bones by chance while walking on his property in 2005 with a palaeontologist, said it was an incredibly exciting time thinking that they had found something that has been around for 76 million years. Shortly after finding the bones, Shipp hired professionals to excavate his findings. Judith moved from the hard Montana ground to Shipp’s basement, where it remained for 10 years. It was a fellow scientist that urged Shipp to sell the bones to a museum.

It’s not very often that people get the chance to see an entirely brand new, never before seen dinosaur skeleton. But for six-and-a-half months that is exactly what will be on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature. Spiclypeus shipporum, or affectionately known as Judith, was unveiled on May 24 in the national fossil collection at the museum. The horned dinosaur was discovered a decade ago in Montana by Dr. Bill Shipp and was acquired by the museum in 2015.

The Mayor’s Annual Canada Day Celebration for Seniors Friday, July 1 – 8:30 to 11 a.m. Future palaeontologist Evan Beilby-Plain made sure he and his mom were one of the few people to get the first glimpse of Judith, a new species of horned dinosaur unveiled at the Canadian Museum of Nature on May 24.
Fossils uncovered on Montana man’s property Continued from page 23
“We’d known Judith for 10 years, and she was as much a part of our family as inanimate, fossilized bones could be,” Shipp said. “And there was satisfaction in knowing we were one of the few who had their own dinosaur bones. But at the end of the day, I was a scientist and I needed to let her be a part of science. People said she was special and I began to feel guilty. I had something sitting in drawers that needed to be studied.” Shipp said of all the museums in the world, picking Canada’s nature museum was the easiest choice to make. “It’s the best in the world,” Shipp said. “It was an easy decision.” The museum sent its palaeontologist, Dr. Jordan Mallon, to check out the bones to confirm that it was an entirely new dinosaur. Shortly after checking out the bones in Shipp’s home, Judith was packed up and sent to her new home in Ottawa. After a year of studying the bones, Mallon discovered Judith had an incredible story. “She was living with a bone disease; she was incredibly resilient,” Mallon said. Mallon said looking at the fissures in the bones show that the disease came early in Judith’s life, but for whatever reason, the horned dinosaur managed to live well into adulthood. However, Mallon added, living with the dis-
ease would have left the dinosaur to fend for itself. Now, Judith’s skull, parts of her legs, hips and backbone are on display for all to see. Born and raised in Ottawa, visiting the museum as a child, Mallon said working with Judith and confirming that the dinosaur was indeed a new species was like having a childhood dream come true. “It’s not every day you get to name a new dinosaur,” Mallon said. Mallon completed the scientific analysis that pinned down the dinosaur as a new species – one of a growing number of newly discovered ceratopsids (four-legged dinosaurs generally characterized by horns on the face and elaborate head frills). Judith’s formal name – Spiclypeus shipporum – is a combination of two Latin words meaning spiked shield and a nod to Shipp, who found the bones. Judith’s nickname comes from where it was found, in Winifred, Montana, near the Judith River Formation – based on the bones found, it’s not actually known if the dinosaur was male or female. Mallon said there are about 40 horned species known to date. Judith’s skull and bones will remain on display until Nov. 13. Afterwards, the bones will be sent to the museum’s collections facility in Gatineau but Judith’s skull will remain on permanent display in the museum’s fossil gallery.

OC Transpo and Bluesfest reach five-year deal Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
Taking transit to Bluesfest just got a little easier for ticketholders. OC Transpo and the annual festival reached an agreement on May 20, which will see the festival pay $100,000 to the city’s transit system each year for the next five years to help recoup costs. “We feel the end result of this is good for the music fan; that’s what was most important,” said AJ Sauve, director of media relations for the festival. The agreement also includes cost recovery of all extra charges related to deployment and managing the service for the festival, including supervisors and security requirements. This year that will cost about $9,000. The service agreement is also subject to increases in the city’s urban transit levy. The city was initially asking for the festival to pay $200,000 to offset the cost
of increased frequency of buses. But Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan sat down with OC Transpo to negotiate the deal. “The way it was going, fans paid to get on the bus and then they were also asking us to subsidize the cost,” Sauve said. Instead of having Bluesfest pay the $200,000 and have festival attendees paying fares, Bluesfest is paying half that amount and fares are waived when boarding. OC Transpo basically becomes a supply sponsor, Sauve said. Those who buy passes to the festival – taking place July 7 to 17 at Lebreton Flats – before June 1 will receive free access to transit three hours before the gates open until two hours after the day’s shows end. Those buying tickets after June 1 will pay a flat rate of $2 for transportation for the ticket dates. Sauve wouldn’t speculate on how much money would be generated from the fee.

OC Transpo and Bluesfest have reached a five-year deal that has the festival paying $100,000 per year towards the cost of increased transit service for the festival. Transit doesn’t only mean buses. The passes also work for the O-Train and ParaTranspo, according to Sauve. He said some attendees of the festival could spend up to $50 on transit alone when visiting. The agreement is similar to the one that exists with the Ottawa Redblacks. “It’s a lot easier on and off the bus – it makes for expedi-
ence,” Sauve said. “The end result is positive for all involved.” In an email, Pat Scrimgeour, assistant general manager, customer systems and planning for the city, said with public transit being the best way to travel to Bluesfest, the agreement makes it easier for those attending, and comes with added benefits. “By including the cost of
transit in the concert ticket, we encourage more people to take the bus to Bluesfest festivities, thereby taking cars off the road and reducing traffic congestion around Lebreton Flats.” But one councillor expressed his concern about the deal in a blog post. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper wrote he’s “left wondering whether we’ve blown a hole in our transit event policy just a few weeks after it was published.” The city heard late last year that about 40 per cent of concertgoers use city transit services to get to the event. According to figures Leiper received from OC Transpo about last year, the cost of adding additional service to Lebreton Flats was $285,000. New fare revenue amounted to about $87,000. That means bus service last year cost the city just short of its original ask at $198,000. This year, assuming the
same frequency and overall cost and adding in the $100,000 contribution by the festival, the city will pay $185,000 for the service – a difference of about $13,000 - not including an extra fee paid by Bluesfest for the cost of supervisory staff and administration. “But, this has clearly ceased to be a discussion about cost recovery,” Leiper wrote. He also pointed out that the reduced cost for transit could make it more attractive, driving the need for even more service and costing taxpayers more money overall. If the policy can’t be followed, Leiper suggested it should be re-evaluated. “Given that festivals such as Bluesfest generate millions in economic activity for the city, I believe it should simply be rewritten if it can’t be implemented in more coherent fashion than this. “Festivals in Ottawa rock. Everyone should know the ground rules.” - With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Estabrooks - Elsie Aileen Ellorient Vane (née Rogers)
Peacefully at the Arnprior Hospital in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 28th, 2016. Inez Dorothy Jamison of Arnprior passed away at the age of 78 years. Beloved wife for over 60 years of Des. Connie and Des were parents to 2 children: Bob Jamison and Charlene Jamison (Gerry Plourde). Dear sister of Jack Conrad (Carmen) and Marshall Conrad. Loved “Nana” of Jesse, Ryan, Rene, Roseanne and Lily. Connie’s working career began as a Radar Technician in the Canadian Air Force in the 1950’s. Connie later joined the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires and proudly served her country as a Commissionaire in many Federal Government Buildings in Ottawa. Connie proudly volunteered at the Arnprior Hospital Opportunity Shop. In her spare time, she loved to crochet blankets; read books and research family geneology. Family and friends are invited to gather at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday afternoon, June 3rd from 4 to 5 p.m. A time of remembrance will follow at 5 o’clock.

Condolences/Donations www.pilonfamily.ca
The family is saddened to announce Elsie’s passing at Extendicare Starwood Home, Ottawa, on Thursday, May 26, 2016 at the age of 85. Predeceased by her husband of 43 years, W. Russell Estabrooks and her brother David Rogers. Lovingly remembered by her children Bill (Barb), John (Judy), Mary O’Loughlin (John), David (Loretta); her grandchildren Jason (Andrea), Jen, Laura (Mat), Kim (Derek), Chris; and great grandchildren Samantha, Cameron, Alex, Ryleigh, Eli, Sawyer and Savannah. Will also be missed by her brother Lee (Sue) and sister-in-law Helen. Elsie had a long career with Sears and Eaton’s in Clinton, Ont and Ottawa. She also had a second career as an Armed Forces wife and when you are an Armed Forces wife you might as well be enlisted. She understood every element of the armed forces including their values, protocols and ranking system. During her time as part of the armed forces, she lived in St. Margaret’s, N.B., Clinton, Ontario (twice), Metz, France, and Carp, Ontario where she retired as an Armed Forces wife. She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter, crocheter and quilter. Over the years, she was active in the Richmond Legion and St. Paul’s United Church - meaningful parts of her life. Most recently she had been wrestling with Alzheimer’s and fought it bravely to the end. Her children wish to express special thanks to staff at Extendicare Starwood, Ottawa and Richmond Care Home, Richmond, who all contributed to making her final years peaceful and full of dignity. Private interment in Fielding, N.B. at a later date. For those wishing to do so, a donation to Extendicare Starwood or Richmond Care Home would be appreciated by the family.

QCH mental health ward renovations closer to becoming reality Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

illness. But the hospital is working to change that, and it got a little closer to reaching its 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. See LOCAL, page 37 Megan DeLaire/Metroland
Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation staff and supporters gathered at the hospital on May 16 to mark a $100,000 donation by the Ottawa Senators Foundation for the hospital’s Hopes Rising campaign. The campaign aims to raise $5-million to help fund renovations to its aging and outdated mental health ward.

Local health integration network endorses $9.7-million redevelopment Continued from page 36
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 re-
Cooper
ally are quite proud to be involved in it,” Stephanie Richardson said. “When Erin (Phillips) asked, it was an absolute ‘yes.’” COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Ottawa Senators Foundation’s $100,000 donation is the third major contribution 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. See OLD, page 38
Hello! My name is Cooper. I am a gentle giant. I just had my second birthday this past February 5th. I love to be outdoors and I carry my ball with me everywhere. I also love to pick up big trees and drag them around when I go on walks. Sometimes I even trip my mommy with them. I have an awesome puppy dog face that gets me treats from my parents and strangers alike. I like to announce it when we have guests. I love being outdoors and meeting new dogs. Mommy and daddy like to take me out on long adventures but I don’t like to go outside when it’s raining. I am a spoiled boy but I am also a very good boy so that’s OK. Here is a picture of me as a puppy. Look how grown up I am now!!

Old unit not meant to be mental health ward: Adams Continued from page 37
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING Tuesday, June 14 – 9:30 a.m. The items listed below, in addition to any other items previously scheduled, will be considered at this meeting which will be held in the Champlain Room, City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa. To see any change to this meeting agenda, please go to Ottawa.ca. Zoning – 224 Cooper Street 613-580-2424, ext. 27591 – Steve.Belan@ottawa.ca Zoning – 2280 City Park Drive 613-580-2424, ext. 16616 – Kersten.Nitsche@ottawa.ca
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.” 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 precapital 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 renovation 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.” For more information about the Hopes Rising campaign, visit http://www.qchfoundation.ca/hopes-rising.

Free provincial park day set for July 15 Submitted
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. Started in Australia, Healthy Parks Healthy People reinforces and encourages the connections between a healthy environment and a healthy society. Many Ontario parks will be offering a
number of fun activities on July 15, and throughout the year. Included is Fitzroy Provincial Park, which is open for camping May 13 to Oct. 11. Research shows access to nature and green space 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 observation, 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. Check out more on the free day at www. ontarioparks.com.

“I recently learned that my elderly Aunt is a victim of Fraud. The police have advised me that some victims of the fraud are considering a lawsuit and that someone may wish to speak to a lawyer on my Aunt’s behalf. My Aunt suffers from dementia and I hold Power of Attorney. Can my Aunt participate in a lawsuit?” Special rules apply to lawsuits involving people, like your aunt, who suffer from a mental illness and therefore lack capacity at law. Generally, children under the age of 18 and people who suffer from mental illness, including those who suffer from dementia, must be represented by a litigation guardian within legal proceedings. There are also special rules which apply to how limitation periods apply to persons who lack capacity at law. Litigation Guardians assume responsibility for litigation on behalf of a litigant who lacks capacity. Litigation Guardians serve an important role and are saddled with significant responsibilities. They assume the responsibilities of retaining and instructing lawyers on behalf of the incapable litigant,

and litigation guardians assume personal responsibility for any costs liability incurred as a result of a lawsuit. However the litigation guardian plays an essential role in ensuring access to justice for some of society’s most vulnerable people. Without people agreeing to stand as a Litigation Guardian, people who suffer losses could be left without recourse to the courts. Generally a lawyer works very closely with a litigation guardian to ensure that risks are properly understood. Lawyers also put in place measures to ensure the risk of personal exposure to the guardian is minimized. If you are asked to stand as a litigation guardian you should consult with a lawyer before deciding whether or not to stand.

Chris Phillips decides to retire from the Ottawa Senators Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The long NHL career of Chris Phillips has come to an end after 1,179 games played, and he wore an Ottawa Senators jersey for all of them. Phillips announced his retirement May 26 at the Canadian Tire Centre. The decision ends the run of the longest serving player in team history. “Today is a happy day,” said Phillips. The retirement news conference kicked off with a video package of many of his career highlights. Family members and now former teammates, Chris Neil, Kyle Turris and Mike Fisher, all showed their support. Senators General Manager Pierre Dorian made note of the many accomplishments of Phillips’ career — from being active in the community to representing Canada at hockey events on numerous occasions. “It’s a tremendous career,”
said Dorian. He called Phillips an underrated, smart player who also displayed loyalty to the organization over the course of his career on the ice. Phillips, 38, was drafted first overall by the Senators in 1996. He tallied 71 goals and 217 assists over his 18-year career. While Phillips will no longer patrol the blueline for the Senators, that doesn’t mean he’s about to disappear from the organization. He has accepted a front office position with the team that was offered to him by the team’s owner Eugene Melnyk and president Cyril Leeder. His new role with the club involves community programs, alumni relations and business development. Phillips was a steady fixture on the blueline, but rarely one to net a large amount of points. The 200607 season offered up a high of eight goals and 18 assists. See PHILLIPS, page 43

Phillips puts Stanley Cup final in 2007 as a memorable run Continued from page 42
Phillips’ scoring touch wasn’t left unmentioned by former team general manager and coach Bryan Murray, either. “Chris was a defencedefenceman, and who got more excited about scoring a goal?” said Murray, now the senior hockey advisor for the Senators. “He acted like it was the biggest goal of the game and some of them were.” Phillips said playing for the Stanley Cup in 2007 against Anaheim was an experience that nears the top of his list of memories. Of players on the current Senators roster, Phillips was one of the last remaining players that Murray actually coached. “He had good character, he tried hard and played hard,” said Murray. “We will miss his leadership and we had hoped he would come back, but we had some real good runs.” Phillips actually played his last game on Feb. 5, 2015. A serious back injury kept him off the ice since then, and his retirement was not unexpected.
“Professional hockey takes a toll on a body,” he said. “I didn’t think it would be the last one.” Phillips was proud of what he accomplished in the game, including a world junior gold medal as a youngster. As he bowed out as a player, he thanked plenty of people from former team owner Rod Bryden to the team’s fans. “The fans made Ottawa a true hockey city from the red mile to talking in the hardware store,” said Phillips. He thanked his wife Erin and his kids, as well as his parents for their inspiration. “I’m grateful for all of it,” Phillips said. “I’m excited to still be a part of it and look forward to the next chapter.” Phillips, a Fort McMurray native, is also involved with a fundraising party sponsored by the City of Ottawa that will help those affected by the wildfires in that Northern Alberta city. The Ottawa4FortMac fundraiser will be held at the Aberdeen Pavilion, 1000 Exhibition Way at Lansdowne Park, on June 8 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Chris Phillips retires from the Senators after 1,179 games. He will not disappear though as he was offered to remain active in the community as he takes on a front office job with the Senators. He spoke at the Queensway Carleton Hospital a couple weeks ago, along with his wifer Erin, as the hospital strives to improve their mental health services.

Reduce your energy use Everyone wants to make their budget go further these days. When it comes to reducing your energy usage, there are lots of ways to save. The energy experts at Hydro One have these suggestions. HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS 1. Install a programmable thermostat. You can adjust and set the temperature from your home. Depending on how you program you could save up to 10 per cent on your year-round heating and cooling costs. 2. Draw the curtains on heat. In the morning, to let cool air in, open your windows. Then close them, and draw your blinds or drapes during the day. Your home will retain much of the cool morning air. 3. Change your furnace filter regularly. Set a reminder to change your furnace filter, and have a licensed HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) professional service your furnace and air conditioner, yearly to ensure they are operating at maximum efficiency. HOT WATER 1. Fix leaky faucets and toilets.
That leaky tap or toilet, is wasting 800 litres of water per month at one drop per second. 2. With a twist of your wrist you can reduce water consumption by 25 to 50 per cent per tap by installing a faucet aerator. 3. Get savings from your dishwasher. Start by always running a full load. Use the light or short cycle for easy-to-clean loads and the energy-saving drying cycle. Or open the dishwasher when the wash cycle is complete and air dry. This can reduce your energy use by 10 per cent. LIGHTING 1. Take a moment to adjust. As the days get longer, remember to adjust your outdoor light timer so you are only using electricity when you need to. 2. The next time a light bulb burns out, replace it with an LED bulb. The initial cost of the bulb itself is a little more, the savings it will provide will be a benefit for years to come. For more information on how to save energy at home, visit www.HydroOne.com/forHome

‘No experience, no Allen key, no instructions’ for house Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A team of Ottawa-based federal scientists and engineers make the reality TV cast of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition look like rookies when it comes to building a house. Head up a few stairs and through the already open door and you’ve entered one of the most energy efficient portable homes in the city, if not the country. And it took four people just four days to build it. “No experience, no Allen key, no instructions,” says Dean Haslip, director general of the CanmetEnergy Research Centre. You’ve likely passed the research centre’s roadway signs countless times while driving on Robertson or Timm roads, perhaps even going so far as to wonder where the winding road leads beyond the trees at 1 Haanel Dr., between Kanata and Bells Corners. The Natural Resources Canada site is said to be Canada’s most diverse clean-energy science and technology facility. The Rapidly Deployable Northern House, as it is called, is just one of the many scientific breakthroughs the centre’s teams are working on in their quest to advance clean-energy solutions and product development that has economic and environmental benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, for homes, businesses and industry. “It’s often said that the least expensive megawatt is the one you didn’t use,” Haslip
says. Nestled among abundant acres of Ottawa’s Greenbelt are 200 federal government scientists, engineers and technicians who are developing and advancing technologies, often with researchers with other governments, universities and the private sector. They are changing the face of energy consumption – from the steel in your car to that high-efficiency furnace in your basement. While some concepts at the centre take years to perfect, there have also been eureka moments when the specialists know they’ve got something. The Northern house was one such success story. “Necessity is the mother of invention. We moved out here two years ago and we needed an office space,” says Mark Douglas, research and development manager of the centre’s alternative energy lab. He and his 11-member team quickly considered the bigger picture. “We sat down and said, ‘Can we not do something that shows some leadership of what a home could be for the North?’” Within six months they crafted the 90-square-metre single-storey home, designing it to cost no more than $150,000 – half what it costs to build a typical house in the North. The prototype was a hit when it was unveiled to the public during Doors Open Ottawa two years ago. See HOUSE, page 46

House design can help in the northern and aboriginal communities Continued from page 45
Haslip has no doubt it will be a main attraction when the centre opens its doors during the free event on Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Haslip ticks off the potential uses for the house: military operations, Northern communities, cottages, as well as temporary or permanent housing where homes have been destroyed. “Disaster relief was one of the things that we identified two years ago as a possible application because you can get it there quickly and put it up quickly and take it down afterwards and there’s nothing left,” says Haslip. The plan now is to secure design and product licensing so that a company can bid to make these homes and sell them on the market. “We think we can have the licensing within the year. Six months from now we could have a commercial partner,” Haslip says. The team is also working to set one up in the North as a pilot project, perhaps in an Inuit community or at a mining camp. For northern and aboriginal communities living in remote regions, housing remains a serious issue, says Haslip. The Ottawa-made Northern house could be the answer. It’s panels and windows can be transported by ship in four containers, and then quickly snapped together piece by piece with just a mallet. “No screws, no nails,” Haslip says. “It’s like

Lego. It all fits together.” It can be raised on adjustable jack posts or stilts to keep it off the ground to prevent snow buildup and to remain stable. It’s also modular, which means it can be expanded to include a second storey. The walls already come insulated, making the home function like a Thermos. It’s warm in the winter and naturally cool in the summer. “We’ve developed something that’s very energy efficient, and at the same time low cost,” Haslip says. One of the key features of the home is that it can function off-grid. Radiant heating is built into the floor – it’s heated by a wood pellet boiler – and powered by a diesel generator equipped with heatrecovery technology. Even the fridge runs on solar energy. “As an alternative in a community, this house can stand on its own for all its energy needs,” Douglas says. “You put (wood pellet) fuel in it and it makes all its own electricity and heat.” As well, the utility module that contains the boiler and generator can be shared by four homes, which would significantly cut down on utility and maintenance costs. In Canada’s Northern communities, these costs can be five-times higher than that of an Ottawa home, says Douglas. “It’s an easy story to tell,” Haslip says of the practical technology. “People instantly understand what it’s all about, they instantly understand the relevance.”

Crossing your fingers made things right when telling a lie

other put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right. “Now don’t you and Velma go walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school. It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.” With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well that Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what
MARY COOK Memories we did just about every day coming home from the Northcote School. The ditches still had water from the spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored. As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and stockings, crammed them into our book bags, and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our navy blue fleece lined bloomers. Making sure no one was on the Northcote Side Road, we squealed with sheer
joy as our bare feet hit the water. The grass underfoot was like silk, and, of course, there was never any garbage thrown in the ditches back then, and we sloshed along at our heart’s content, heading from the side road from the school, almost to where our lanes began. Not once did I think of Mother’s words, as I left for school in the morning. After all, I had my fingers crossed. By the time we reached our long lane, we had run out of water in the ditches, and we reluctantly had to abandon what we considered the utmost joy, walking barefoot in the water-filled
ditches of the Northcote Side Road. Our book bags hung from our shoulders, and we reluctantly left the ditches as we neared our lane, which was just before the Thom’s, gingerly stepping onto the dirt road and heading for the cluster of cedars behind the rail fence. We sat on the big rock and let the sun dry our legs, which were now the colour of beets freshly pulled from the garden, and still dripping wet from the water in the ditches. Our legs had to be dried completely before we could put on our long stockings and shoes. And Velma and I laughed and delighted in the conspiracy of the whole escapade. Knowing perfectly well, as long as the ditches held the water, we would repeat our adventure. We couldn’t spend too much time getting back into our stockings and shoes, or our mothers would be suspi-

cious when we didn’t arrive home when they expected us. After all, it was only three-and-a-half miles between the Northcote School and our farms, and so we had to be quick about it. I tore down our long lane like someone possessed, and the last I saw of Velma, she was already at their mailbox. I wasn’t that far behind my sister and brothers, tearing into the house out of breath, and heading right upstairs as I always did to get out of my school clothes, passing Mother who was busy at the Findlay Oval getting supper ready for the table. I kept my fingers crossed as usual, just in case she questioned me about walking in the water-filled ditches. My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in my play clothes.
“I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hateful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson. My beloved sister Audrey vowed she saw Velma and me walking on the Northcote Side Road all the way home from school, and we were nowhere near the ditches. She had her hands behind her back, and I knew, without a doubt, her fingers were crossed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Field of dreams opens for local cricket players Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Vidun Jayakody and Josh Wolf are barely into their teens, but they already foresee big things for cricket at their school for generations to come. They hope to return one day as adults to see the next crop of young players using the cricket pitch behind Featherston Drive Public School, competing against other students from across the city in an established league. Their school’s pitch, which officially opened on May 27, is the first of its kind at a school in Ottawa’s English public school board, and just one of a handful of pitches in Ottawa. “It means a lot,” said Vidun, 12, an eight-year
veteran of the sport who has been teaching other kids at his Alta Vista-area school to play, along with classmate and friend, Aathavan Uruthirapathy. A dedication ceremony marking the grand opening of Lafrange Field – the name of the new pitch – drew school and board officials as well as Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier. The main attraction of the celebration was a cricket tournament starring kids from Featherston, nearby Vincent Massey Public School and D.A. Moodie Intermediate School. That west-end school sends students once a year to Featherston to play cricket. Vidun’s classmate, Josh, has quickly grown to love the sport in recent years – even when he and his peers

The 13-year-old said it’s nice to know the pitch will be there for future generations, and that he and his friends will one day be able to look back and say they were a part of helping the
sport grow locally. “We want to come back and see it one day,” Josh said with a grin, drawing agreement from Vidun. “It’s nice to say we made a mark,” Vidun said. See NEW, page 54

New cricket pitch generates interest across Ottawa Continued from page 51
Nick Janna, the Featherston teacher who first came up with the idea to build a cricket pitch, said the project’s driving force was his students. About two years ago, he brought out his own cricket bats and balls during recess and the kids quickly gathered around. “I’m just like stunned,” Janna said of their response. Construction of the sports field was only completed a few days before it officially opened, but already word had spread. Janna said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw adults playing together on the new turf. “They were giddy like kids. They’re like, ‘This is beautiful,’” he said. “It was wild.” “‘If you build it, they will come’ has been the theme of this. I cannot believe it,” said Janna, who hopes to start up an interschool league. Ottawa’s newest cricket pitch has also caused a stir beyond Alta Vista. Janna said other clubs and associations have been calling, including Ottawa Cricket, the Cumberland Cricket Club and the Ottawa Valley Cricket Council Junior Cricket, which has already offered to provide free coaching clinics to Featherston students. When Peter Gamwell, a superintendent with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, heard about the new sports field, he had to see it for himself. “It’s so interesting with all these different cultures here,” he said. “Cricket is such a natural point of connection for people.” He got a kick out of listening to the students speak excitedly about the sport he grew up playing back in England. “It’s so curious to see it at the very beginning stages,” he said. “It’s just magic.” 54 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, June 2, 2016
That’s precisely why Ryan Lafrange matched the $5,000 that the Featherston parent council contributed to the construction of the pitch. Having grown up in nearby Elmvale Acres, Lafrange said he had a lot of friends who went to Featherston and nearby St. Gemma Catholic Elementary School. “I just wanted to help (Janna) give back a little something to his school and to the community,” said Lafrange, who threw the first bowl during the dedication ceremony. The field is named in memory of Lafrange’s fa-
‘‘If you build it, they will come’ has been the theme of this. I cannot believe it.’ Nick Janna Featherston teacher,
ther, Pat, a lawyer and active community member and volunteer who donated his time to local associations and coached sports in the Alta Vista area. Pat, who passed away almost five years ago, had his two sons playing sports from an early age – hockey, baseball, soccer and lacrosse. “Sports were a big part of our upbringing,” recalled Lafrange, a realtor who now makes his home in Old Ottawa South. “Great memories.” Lafrange said his father would have loved to see the cricket pitch open amid such a large community celebration. “I guarantee he wouldn’t know what cricket is, but (he valued) giving back to the community and having kids play sports,” he said.

Kanata siblings in production of the Who’s Tommy Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The stage is set and rehearsals have been well underway for The Who’s Tommy. The Orpheus Musical Theatre production is the final one for the 2015-16 season. The show opens on June 3 and wraps on June 12 at the Centrepointe Theatre. “People of a certain age would know the music,” laughed director Michael Gareau, who calls Kanata home. “The Who wrote it (Pete Townshend) and I would call it a rock opera.” For those who have seen shows such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, they will notice the similarity in style – there are very few spoken words. “I would say 98 per cent of the show is music with the story being told through song,” said Gareau. “It makes directing a bit more challenging.” The production has 100 different characters and 28 in the main cast, with some taking on seven or eight roles. “It is a lot of work, a five minute scene might take 15 to 16 hours on my end,” he said. Decisions and tweaks
have to made on how many actors are featured and how they move through the scene or if they even dance or not. From auditions to opening day, it lasts about 11 weeks and roughly four times each week for rehearsals. The Who’s Tommy is restricted to audiences, more for the subject matter than the language, said Gareau. The young Tommy witnesses a murder at a young age and is traumatized. The story also reveals that Tommy’s uncle is a pedophile. “Nothing happens but people would know about the uncle,” he said. “It would be left to the audience’s imagination. (The Who’s Tommy) really is a beautiful story and it’s a story of survival.” Emily Samojlenko and her daughters, Ella and Lauren, are involved in the production. Coincidentally, Emily said, they are even neighbours to Gareau. “Ella and Lauren were actually the last two people to audition for Tommy and they even came in, dressed as boys,” said Gareau. “There needs to be the right type of actor or actress to pull it off.” See SHOW, page 59

Due to their ages and make-up and wigs, the girls can perform as a boy on a convincing level. Lauren plays Tommy at four years old, while Ella takes on the role at 10 years. “I believe Ella is going to go places in performing,” said Gareau. Emily did have reservations about getting involved with the show because of the subject matter, plus it would be a large time commitment. “Some people say that they pay to see their favourite performers, well I tuck mine into bed at night,” said Emily, who got a role in the ensemble. “Lauren’s experience is awesome to watch and I get to be in the scene with them, so why not join the fun?” Lauren will have her first experience on the stage. “I wanted to see the show because I never really per-
formed before in front of lots of people,” said Lauren. “And it looks good on my resume.” She doesn’t see herself as being nervous, enjoying the fact that she gets to speak in a British accent. Ella has already had a musical production on her resume by playing Gavroche, in Les Misérables. “I think working with my sister is a benefit for me,” said Ella. “Not only do I have someone that I can trust, but I also have someone that I can work on my parts with at home.” The challenging part for Ella is that she has to act like she’s in a catatonic state. She has to stare straight ahead while the action is happening around her. “It’s hard not to sing when everyone else is singing the songs,” said Ella. “I think the show is an amazing show that is going to be fun to watch. The cast and crew have also been amazing and welcoming.”

Global family of air traffic controllers pitch in for 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 contact with his regional vicepresident and his members’ employer, Nav Canada. Both were keeping tabs on the ninemember 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
Screen Grab/GoFundMe.com
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. 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 cush-
ion 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. See CONTROLLERS, page 65
Public support needed to help dragon boat festival absorb changes Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Ottawa’s dragon boat festival needs you now, more than ever before. Plans to build a giant playground at the north end of Mooney’s Bay Park, where the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival has been held for more than 20 years, have organizers appealing for the public’s backing. “We can’t change what’s happening at the park. We can ask the public to come out and support us, because that will support the long-term of the event,” said John Brooman, president and chief executive of the festival and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation, which generates $350,000 to $400,000 annually for charity. The event, which will be held on the Rideau River and in Mooney’s Bay Park June 23 to 26, is the single biggest festival fundraiser in Ottawa. This year funds will go to the Youth Services
Bureau of Ottawa, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation Community Fund. “The biggest thing people can do to support the festival, to keep it moving in the future through this jungle gym issue, is to support us, support our foundation,” Brooman said, after watching a truck hoist a dragon boat into the water at the park on May 26. “Let’s really show the city what this is worth.” While festival organizers won’t yet know the full scope of how the playground structure will impact the four-day celebration, there will be some effects this year, perhaps more in 2017 after the structure is built and the space gobbled up. Team tents will have to be weighted down with sandbags rather than pegs due to a surface membrane going in at the north end of the park ahead of the playground’s construction this summer.

Notice of Commencement Transit Project Assessment Process Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to expand the City’s Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) network, currently under construction, to the east, west and southwest regions of the City. The Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit includes extending the Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Baseline and Bayshore Stations as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will: • Add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. • Connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared by the proponent; the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program.
Inaugural ice dragon boating festival in development for 2017 Continued from page 61
Given the controversy swirling around the play structure since it was announced May 13 over the lack of public consultation, cutting down of trees and outrage from protesters, some teams have been slower than usual in registering. “It’s not a big portion, but there’s that last 10 per cent,” Brooman said, but noted city officials have agreed to a deal that the site will be clear of workers and activity starting June 16 to allow the festival to move in.
During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. The draft EPR will be available in print at the locations below: City Hall Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

Ottawa.ca/westernlrt Given the extent of prior consultation, and the availability of a draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) for public review, it is anticipated that the City will issue the Notice of Completion in early September 2016 (which is within the maximum 120-day period in the TPAP Regulation). Notification will be provided in advance of the formal 30day public review period. Further information on the Transit Projects Assessment Process is available at: Ontario.ca/document/guide-environmental-assessment-requirements-transit-projects To Submit Comments If you have project-related questions or comments, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact the Project Manager on behalf of the proponent, the City of Ottawa:
family activities, exhibitors, food and beverage vendors – which are all free to enjoy – are expected to attract about 65,000 people over the course of the four-day event. It will draw an estimated 5,000 paddlers on about 200 teams. “There’s no other festival that’s doing what we’re doing in the world,” Brooman said. It’s drawn international attention, as a result. A group from China arranged for him to travel to Budapest, Hungary earlier this year to see ice dragon boating in action, which involves participants using paddles with picks to move a boat on skates on the ice. “It is looking very promising that we’ll be hosting an ice dragon boating festival on the canal during Winterlude in 2017,” said Brooman. Now the Chinese delegation is coming to Ottawa to check out the summer dragon boat festival, and to check out the canal for a winter fes-
tival. It’s also hoped China will send 600 people to take part in the summer races in 2017. As well, this year a Philippines team will be competing in the June races. “They and others have been looking at our model for years and have been saying, ‘How are they doing this?’” Brooman said. “Now there’s an opportunity to take our model elsewhere to the rest of the world,” he said, adding the festival is a crown jewel, not just for Ottawa, but for Canada. “That’s the message. Support us this year and through 2017 as we absorb all these changes,” he said. “The more (people) can do this year in terms of supporting everything we do, the higher likelihood we have of surviving this.” To register a dragon boat team or to check out a full line up of events, go to dragonboat.net.

Controllers ‘chomping at the bit’ to return to Fort Mac airport tower while they can still continue their firefighting activities peripherally around that,” Duffey said. Scott Clements, president and chief executive of the Fort McMurray Airport Authority, said on the airport’s
website that several structures at the north side of the airport were damaged in the fire but that the airport is fully operational for emergency operations, and the transporting of food and supplies to emergency personnel.
Commercial air traffic to the airport won’t permitted until the evacuation order is lifted, he said. Some residents are scheduled to begin going home to some neighbourhoods and communities on June 1.

Air traffic controllers and their unions from around the world have chipped in, evidence of the camaraderie that comes with the specialized occupation. “The bonds between controllers, even around the world, it’s odd and I think it’s because not a lot of people get us in what we do,” said Duffey, who has served as the union’s national president for about two-and-a-half years, and vice-president before that. He also spent 19 years as an air traffic controller at Toronto Pearson International Airport’s area control centre, one of seven centres across Canada where controllers manage the bulk of provincial airspace. Nav Canada is matching donations raised through the union’s campaign, as well as matching funds its employees are contributing to the Red Cross for wildfire relief efforts. 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. “Until they get back in, we have no idea of what the smoke damage will be,” said Duffey. “We know some of them live in neighbourhoods where they were fighting fires and they may have water damage as well.” Now, they are waiting rather impatiently for the green light to return home. Nav Canada officials may either arrange to bring in RVs for the tower personnel to to stay at the airport temporarily, or fly them back and forth from Edmonton. “They’re actually chomping at the bit to get back there,” said Duffey, who met with the team in Edmonton on May 9. “They wanted to be there on Day One to make sure those airplanes are safe, coming and going.” In the meantime, Fort Mac’s air space has been under the control of Canada’s forestry officials and restricted to water bombers and emergency efforts — something
that’s almost unheard of at an airport since most wildfires happen in the bush away from airports. It will be important to figure out how the controllers can resume control of the tower and Fort McMurray’s

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, you may desire to be somewhere else this week, but responsibilities keep you close to home. You can still have a good time and make lasting memories. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you initially felt good about choices you just made a few days ago, but now you’re not so sure. Ask around for advice before making any final decision. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Lately you are more willing to take risks, Gemini. It’s fine to want to try new things, but always let reason guide you. You do not want to bite off more than you can chew.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, realizing your dreams is fully within your capabilities. Make a commitment now and stick with it. You have to work hard to get what you desire, but it’s within reach. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, after running the show, it’s now time to hand over the reins to someone else. Surrender some control and enjoy this respite from being the go-to guy or gal.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your energy is focused on too many things at the moment. Focus your attention on just one thing for the time being, and your main goal will be realized. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may not be up to too many trivial tasks right now, so immerse yourself in a creative project that’s more about the big picture than the small details. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may have reached a turning point in a romantic relationship. Now is the time to fan those flames so that the relationship can grow into something special. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep riding this creative wave you seem to be on, Capricorn. It will take you far and in many different directions. Trust in your dreams and put a plan to realize them into action. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, assert yourself a little more at work so that you get the respect and the recognition you deserve. When you state your case, others will see your perspective. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you tend to see the best in everyone and that is why you are such a good friend to so many people.
