City considering 3 options west of Moodie Drive BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Going right

Making the correct signal for a right turn is Meagan Lassaline during the Pedal Play bicycle rodeo at W. Erskine Johnston Public School on Varley Drive on June 4. The event included stations where cyclists could have their helmets checked, tune up their rides, learn hand signals and test out their new skills.

Melissa Murray/Metroland

It may be more than a decade away, but light rail to Kanata is now on the drawing board. The city is studying possible routes between Moodie Drive — the western terminus of light rail as of 2023 — and the Palladium Drive area of Kanata. Staff and consultants have looked at 13 potential lines, and used an open house on June 5 to explain why three of those routes are preferred. The three are: • the most direct: running just north of Highway 417 to Palladium. • a northern route: from the Eagleson park-and-ride area, north See RAIL, page 12

On your marks: Kanata Race Day fast approaching Annual community run takes place June 11 BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Kanata Race Day is fast approaching and hundreds of participants are expected to lace up their running shoes on June 11. The annual community run features five- and 10-kilometre timed races, as well as a one-kilometre timed run for children ages five to 12, and a 100-metre tot trot. “Some of them are little tiny toddlers who can run and they just have the biggest beam on their face, when they smile, when they go across the finish line,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who organizes the race. “It’s a family event.” Last year saw more than 300 people take part and

raise just over $10,000 for local programs. “We’d like to see that again,” said the councillor. “We’d like to make a little more; that’s what we use to fund our Junior Rangers program.” Junior Rangers focus on protecting natural environment areas, such as local parks and forests, with the maintenance of trails, removal of invasive species and touring natural areas in north Kanata, said Wilkinson. “We have some other projects in mind that we’d like to raise some funds for as well,” she said. The councillor said she’s looking at the possibility of installing outdoor fitness equipment at the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata

and near the Kanata Seniors Centre. “We want to try and get different types of equipment there,” she said. NEW ROUTE

Kanata Race Day will follow a new route due to construction work scheduled for Goulbourn Forced Road. The new course will follow a five-kilometre out-andback course along Innovation Drive, to Hines Road and into the Nordion Canada property. Kanata Race Day takes place on Sunday, June 11, starting at the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata, 4101 Innovation Dr. Registration fees are $10 for the one-km race; $20 for youth aged 19 and under; and $30 for adults.

Kanata student scores hat trick of awards at science fair BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Next up, he wants to work on the polymerase chain reaction process, which is used for applications like DNA sequencing. “The current way it’s performed is through a machine that costs upwards of $8,000,” Bhavya said. “Again, I’d like to miniaturize that so that people in Third World countries can have a blood diagnostic.” Bhavya’s father, Dinesh, said he’s extremely proud of his son. “It’s good to see that all the hard work and effort and passion he brings to pursuing his scientific pursuits. To see them getting acknowledged and rewarded was very satisfying,” he said. “I know he’s put in a lot of effort. I'm assuming it will encourage him to not lose hope and persevere with his pursuits.”

his project. He has plans to apply to Team Canada — which represents the country at science fairs — to compete in an international science and engineering fair in 2018. “I’d like to do more testing, then definitely I would like to bring it forward,” he said. His project, titled Development of a Novel Lab on a Chip based PCR Sensor for Disease Diagnostics, took home three awards at the national science fair including: • Excellence Award, gold medal, in the junior category (includes $250 cash prize); • Western University Scholarship, gold medal (includes $4,000 entrance scholarship); • and Youth Can Innovate Award (includes $500 cash prize).

Bhavya Mohan, a Grade 8 Earl of March Secondary School student, won two gold medals and a Youth Can Innovate award at the Canada Wide Science Fair last month. He created a DNA measurement tool that can be used to detect disease.

Bhavya Mohan has done it again, this time scoring a hat trick of awards at the Canada Wide Science Fair, held in Regina last month. The Grade 8 Earl of March Secondary School student — who won four awards at the regional science fair — brought home two gold medals and a Youth Can Innovate Award for his project, a DNA measurement tool that can be used to detect disease. “I wasn’t expecting (to) get gold,” said the 14-year-old. “It’s quite an achievement for me.” Bhavya was inspired to create the cost-effective and portable device after spending a summer volunteering at a hospital in India. “A problem that I saw over there was that many people didn’t have proper diagnostic tools,” he said. “What I saw was just people opt out of genetic diagnostics and just have

a visual checkup.” A Nanodrop machine, used for genetic testing, analyses minute samples and costs upwards of $10,000 — making it unaffordable in developing and Third World countries, said Bhavya. His DNA measurement tool only cost $1 to build and “can facilitate the same diagnostic as a Nanodrop,” he said. Genetic testing can help determine if diseases like cancer are present, he said, adding early diagnosis can often lead to better outcomes. Bhavya worked with Dr. William Willmore of Carleton University and Dr. Michel Godin and student Eric Beamish from the University of Ottawa.

After 2017 has come and gone, groves of maple trees planted across the city will mark the 150th anniversary of Canada. At a tree-planting ceremony on June 4, Mayor Jim Watson announced the initiative that includes planting 150 native maple trees in each of the city’s 23 wards, saying it will serve as a living legacy. The initiative was a promise Watson made during the last election. “What better symbol than the maple leaf to mark the milestone in our country’s history. Whether it’s on the flag, the passport or your knapsack the maple leaf is an iconic symbol of our nation and makes us uniquely proud to be Canadian wherever we find ourselves in the world,” he said during his remarks. The city, CN, Tree Canada, the federal government and Lee Valley funded the project. Tree Canada was given $775,000 through the Canada 150 fund to complete 150 community greening initiatives across the country. The first groves were planted this May. On June 5, the community came together in Alta Vista to commemorate the planting. “In addition to being symbolic of Canada’s 150th anniversary, these trees will benefit our residents in communities throughout the City of Ottawa,” Watson said. At the event, Ottawa-South MP David McGuinty said the project fits with the government’s goals for the 150th to promote diversity and inclusion, reconciliation with indigenous people, empowering young people and protecting the environment. “We are proud to support Tree Canada and its tree planting initiatives in communities in every one of our provinces and territories, and we know the quality of life in our urban areas is a key determining factor of our economic success going forward,” he said. The trees include three native maple trees — sugar, red and silver and are about 1.5 to 2 metres tall unless smaller trees would be more appropriate for the site. A commemorative stone will also mark the location of each of the groves. The announcement coincided with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities national convention and several delegates attended. For the past several years, a tree has been planted at each of FCM meeting, part of a legacy program with Tree Canada. “In historic moment like this all of us are driven to think of the legacy we are leaving behind, so let this tree stand

price. In the evening we’ll bring it indoors for a mighty Canada 150 trivia contest!” Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket. Parking for the public is on the street, at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School on Abbeyhill, at the Jack Charron Arena on Castlefrank, or at St. Martin de Porres School behind the arena. “This special event has been months in the planning. We want to give our friends and neighbours the chance to sit back (or run, jump, dance and munch) to celebrate the wonderful country we live in.” For information and a schedule of activities, see www. khlions.com.

A trillium by any other name

hanging parties in politics usually does not work out too well. There are a few exceptions, such as former Liberal MP and NDP provincial premier Bob Rae, but normally switching parties as an elected politician is a prescription for defeat and political oblivion in the ensuing election. So, it will be interesting to follow the happenings in the new Kanata-Carleton provincial riding in next year’s election and see if former Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren, now a member of the new Trillium Party, will be re-elected or not. His participation in the election for the Trillium Party should have an impact on the PC vote in the riding. Whether he will be re-elected, just split the Tory vote, or have minimal impact remains to be seen. The new Kanata-Carleton riding is more urban than the existing Carleton-Mississippi Mills and this may reduce conservative strength somewhat, with or without MacLaren’s ejection from the PC caucus and his switch to the ultra-conservative Trillium Party. The Liberals may seize this opportunity of discord among conservative forces to run a strong candidate who

might just sneak into office thanks to a vote split in the right-of-centre ranks. Some insight might be found from the name of MacLaren’s new party affiliation, the Trillium Party. Trilliums — specifically, white trilliums — have been the official flower for Ontario since 1937. If grown from seed, it takes a trillium up to two years just for the seed to germinate and then takes another five to seven years for the plant to bloom. In other words, it is a long process and very similar, we would suggest, to the future of the new party. If the Trillium Party were to “germinate” in two years and were to “bloom” in only five to seven years, we would rank that as an amazing political story. It is also known that if the leaves and flower of a trillium are picked, the plant will die as it will lack any means to produce the energy needed to survive the cold blasts of winter. If MacLaren fails to win for the Trillium Party in the upcoming election, the party may die just like a picked trillium, lacking the means to produce the energy needed to survive the blasts of the political weather in this province. MacLaren’s decision to switch parties is a story that promises an interesting ending come election season.

Canada’s birthday plans big on show, not substance

ast week I was leaving a Blue Jays game in Toronto. The home town had won and everyone was happy — except for the homeless men whom we encountered at intervals, sitting on the pavement with their empty paper cups in front of them, hoping for the best. It’s not a perfect metaphor, but something about the scene made me think of our upcoming 150th birthday celebrations. There is going to be a considerable amount of noise, a few royals around, cheery speeches — but not much of that energy is being harnessed to improve the lives of people who need help. This may be why I detect a distinct lack of enthusiasm about the whole thing. Politicians and officials are smiling away and making pronouncements about how great it’s going to be. But ordinary people are yawning,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town just wanting to get on with summer. And some of them, like me, wonder if that sesquicentennial money could be better spent. Locally, it will be nice to see the National Arts Centre unveil its new look and the new Canadian history hall at the Museum of History. But those probably would have happened without the sesquicentennial. Otherwise, Canada Day will probably feel like most other Canada Days, except in Toronto where the provincial government is spending $120,000 to bring a gigantic American rubber duckie to its waterfront. There will be other events, other

projects, some even more worthwhile than gigantic rubber duckies, but my guess is that this is not, unlike 1967, going to be a year we will look back upon with nostalgia. Several things made 1967. For one, the federal government was not just going through the motions. Unlike today, it was not afraid to spend. So tons of government money was committed, all over the country, to things that mattered. It felt like every community in the country was getting a new concert hall, a new arena, a new library. For another thing, there was an optimism, an idealism in the country that was different from what we have now. Expo 67 made us proud and attracted world attention, which made us prouder. Despite the Cold War and the spectre of Vietnam, despite the growing signs of separatism at home, Canadians were confident

about the future, eager to make it better. It doesn’t seem that way now. Although the world was a perilous place in 1967, different kinds of peril face us now. Recent events, particularly to the south of us, have created an uncertainty that may make us less inclined to party. And less inclined to take on the big projects that would really make life better for Canadians — not to mention the less fortunate of the world, to whom we have been paying less and less attention. To go back to those unfortunate souls at the beginning of this column, few of our political parties campaign on getting rid of homelessness and poverty. They talk about making things less difficult for the middle class. That’s a far cry from idealism.

about climate change, probably the defining issue of our age, but few bold steps. This year, the 150th, would have been a good year for some of that. Instead we get fireworks and rubber duckies.

Minimum wage hike won’t bankrupt us I

n late May, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne made a much-anticipated announcement that her government will increase the province’s hourly minimum wage to $15 by 2019, from the current $11.40. Critics came out of the woodwork, calling the plan a job-killing disaster. One pundit suggested the rate hike would trigger the immediate loss of 100,000 jobs in the province. Others argued small businesses would bear the brunt of the cost, while large enterprises would exit Ontario en masse in search of cheaper labour. The arguments aren’t completely unfounded, but they are hyperbolic. Records of minimum wage hike increases from the last 50 years show a number of significant jumps in minimum wage from year to year. From $. 90 in 1965, the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

wage jumped to $1.30 in 1969, an increase of 44 per cent in four years. Subsequently the rate continued to climb, more than doubling to $2.25 by 1974. Minimum wage increased annually throughout the ‘70s, spiking by more than 45 per cent in the first half of the ‘80s to $4.35. There are many pundits arguing that minimum wage increases trigger job losses. But the historical data, at a glance, doesn’t back this claim. Over the last few decades, Ontario’s unemployment rate has, in fact, remained

relatively stable at between six and seven per cent, with some exceptions. In 1984 and 2009 the provincial unemployment rate peaked at more than nine per cent. But one would be hard pressed to argue that minimum wage hikes were the catalyst. In the latter case, for example, world markets were crumbling and entire countries declaring bankruptcy. Triggers for spikes in unemployment are complex and multiple. Although the 9.1 per cent spike in 2009 did coincide with a one dollar minimum wage increase (to $9.50), the high unemployment rate

arguably had more to do with the mass layoffs in Ontario’s manufacturing sector during the financial crisis than it did with increasing people’s basic hourly wage. There are also many examples where the numbers don’t spike simultaneously. In 2004, for example, unemployment remained stable at 6.8 per cent, despite the occurrence of the first minimum wage hike in nine years to $7.15 (from $6.85 in 1995). There’s no doubt the minimum wage increase is a strategic vote-buying tactic for a party and a premier that are almost setting records for their lack of popularity in the polls. Even the least cynical among us see that. And while it’s true that minimum wage increases aren’t about to bankrupt the job market, the reverse also holds — they’re not doing much to stimulate it either. As much as the Premier would like us to believe otherwise, a

higher minimum wage doesn’t encourage greater participation in the labour economy. The hyperbolic pundits don’t lie. There is potential for some negative side effects, particularly outside of the Toronto bubble economy where these decisions are made. Small businesses — and even large manufacturers and those in the agricultural industry — may opt out of hiring or shut down Ontario operations altogether if labour costs spike too high too soon, something that would have a huge impact on smaller cities and towns across the province. Youth unemployment is already significantly higher than average unemployment among adults. Employers that rely on summer students and part-timers may be forced to eliminate these positions in the absence of government incentives to counterbalance the additional costs of labour. Consumers will also bear

the brunt of costs. Bread basket items have been climbing for years, something that’s almost guaranteed to continue as labour costs trickle down to consumers. But is a 32 per cent increase in the hourly minimum wage going to bankrupt the province? No. Ontario has seen 28 minimum wage increases in the past 50 years and not a single one has led to the economic apocalypse currently predicted by the caviar class. It’s OK to remain skeptical of motives behind the premier’s decision to do this now, but at the end of the day, every Ontarian deserves a livable working wage. It’s up to the Premier — or possibly her successor, depending on the outcome of the next election — to put incentive measures in place to mitigate the adverse effects that higher labour costs may have on employers and consumers.

Beaverbrook to host Neighbourwoods course Tree inventory training to help communities with aging canopies BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Neil Thomson had a 100foot tall spruce tree come down on his property five years ago while another was lost to drought during a hot, dry summer. “It went over, root ball and all, in the middle of the road,” said Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association. “As the trees get larger their needs get higher.” As communities age, so too do the trees planted years ago. In an effort to manage an aging canopy, the Kanata

Beaverbrook Community Association is hosting a twoday “Neighbourwoods” tree inventory course aimed at teaching residents how to care for, monitor and manage older trees on their own property and throughout their neighbourhoods. “Quite simply, we’re a 50-year-old community,” said Thomson. “The trees that were planted then are now, in some cases, at endof-life.” Neighbourwoods was developed at the University of Toronto and the tree inventory protocol is used to develop “strategic urban forest

— including the species, size, location and condition — and how to analyze the data. “The city would like to do city-wide management, but the reality is the communities need to look after this themselves,” said Thomson. “It certainly makes a lot of sense for us to get educated.” Soil in the Beaverbrook community features a large amount of clay and Canadian Shield rock. Tree roots are often quite shallow, making large trees more prone to drought or becoming structurally weak. “Part of this is to equip the community at large with the tools to do inventory, to find out what we have, what

kind of shape are they in,” said Thomson. “And if a tree has to come down, what do we replace it with.” A number of areas in Kanata have been virtually clear-cut due to the number of dead and dying ash trees. The Emerald ash borer beetle has been decimating ash trees across the city. One park had almost all its trees removed, said Thomson. “We need to figure out the correct environmental balance going forward that keeps us green but is more sustainable,” he said. The training is open to all who are interested, but space is limited. Residents from neighbouring West Carleton

and Stittsville communities have registered to participate. “This type of work can be done by high school students, Scouts, Guides and any adults in the community, which is a good way to get people engaged in their community — and for their own properties,” said Thomson, adding this course will be a “train the trainer” session. “Once we’ve been through the course we can teach others,” he said. The course runs June 17 and 18, with an introduction evening on June 16. The cost is $20. For more information, visit kanatabeaverbrook.ca. To register, email info@kanatabeaverbrook.ca.

Tire Centre is a major destination for travellers today, but that could change when the Ottawa Senators make an expected move to LeBreton Flats in the years ahead. “There’s certainly a big question mark about the Canadian Tire Centre,” said Parsons Inc. consultant Peter Steacy By the end of 2017, city staff will compile public input and consider if Palladium Drive should be the western terminus. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the direct route for rail from Moodie to Kanata makes the most sense. “Clearly the best route is straight up the hill,” he said of the potential to run rail along the northern edge of Highway 417.

Larger crowds, Royal visit call for heavy security for 150th bash There will be a heavier police presence in Ottawa for Canada Day. “Naturally, there will be a much heightened level of police preference,” Mayor Jim Watson said of this year’s celebrations. “We have been planning 2017 for a couple of years at the mu-

nicipal level and we will have a very, very strong security presence here to ensure people are safe as visitors and as residents.” He cited a few reasons for the increased security: recent terrorism around the world, the presence of the Royal Family, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Governor General, as well as larger crowds. Watson talked security on

And sadly, the answer is yes. We are a G7 capital,

but I have great confidence in our police to provide the necessary mechanisms to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors.” Last year, in response to a Christmas market attack in Berlin, security was ramped up for New Year’s Eve celebrations. Dump trucks and front-end loaders were used to block off cross streets and protect the schoolchildren that participated as torchbearers during the celebration. The heavy machinery acted as a barricade. “It’s always a wake-up call for us in roles of leadership that we have to be vigilant in the world we live in that a simple knife and a motor vehicle can be the new weapon of choice of a terrorist or someone who wants to cause harm to people in a community.” Watson said local police are in contact with international agencies as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to ensure the safety of residents and visitors, not only on Parliament Hill, but also at other events across the city that day. He added that other municipal police services would supplement the work of local officers. “There’s no 100 per cent solution to terrorism. If terrorists want to come into a community, sadly, as we’ve seen in other jurisdictions around the world and we’ve seen here with the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, that people can do harm to other fellow citizens. So our job is to be as vigilant as possible and to ask the community for their eyes and ears because we can’t have a police officer at every corner.”

Transit commission moves forward with low-income single-fare option

I AVOIDED THE TOPIC AT ALL COST

Transit advocates laud move toward affordability BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Trevor Haché, secretary for the Healthy Transportation Coalition, says the a plan to look at a single-fare option for lowincome riders of OC Transpo will help the “poorest of the poor”. The city’s transit commission approved having staff look at options to deliver a low-cost single fare option on May 31. The city announced the EquiPass, a discounted monthly pass option for those living under the poverty line in November. At a cost of $57 a month — while deeply discounted from the regular fare — it’s still out of reach for many, Haché said. Original estimates by staff suggested that 4,400 riders would be eligible for the subsidized pass, which would cost the city $2.7 million. A memo to councillors from transit commission chair Stephen Blais and Mayor Jim Watson in advance of the May 31 meeting, said that 2,300 riders had already taken advantage of the pass. “And that number grows daily,” said Pat Scrimgeour, manager of customer service and transit planning for OC Transpo.

The city’s transit commission approved having staff look at options to deliver a low-cost single fare option on May 31. anne Wilkinson said while she supported the plan, she wanted to ensure the costs for the subsidized, single fare option wouldn’t be born on the backs of other riders. Transportation GM John Manconi, said that and other questions such as the delivery of the option would have to be ironed out by staff before budget deliberations in the fall. Transit commissioner lauded the idea, and said the lowest income residents likely can’t afford a monthly pass. “A proper examination is the way to go,” he said. For Blais, it’s simply the time to take the next step. “There’s been uptake on the EquiPass, it’s time to explore a single-fare option,” he said. Haché agreed with the move,

but said the city needs to look at the overall issue of transit affordability. “The plan is to increase fares by 2.5 per cent every year until 2048,” he said. “That means by then a return trip will be $14.” Haché says the coalition — which is a consortium of advocates and special interest groups spanning the city — also plans to host a transportation equity summit at city hall in September. The panel isn’t ironed out yet, but they have confirmed a speaker from the Portland transit authority’s equity department — something he said he’d like to see in Ottawa. Council will have to approve the commission’s recommendation to allow staff to study the issue, at which point work will begin.

I thought it was going to be so hard. Not sure what I was thinking. I avoided the topic at all cost. I had planned my retirement; planned for my kids’ education, planned for my home’s minor renovations and purchased my new “retirement” car. I met with my financial planner to ensure that everything was in order, that my wife and I are ready for the future. But then my financial planner asked me if I had put or thought of setting money aside for my service. I was shocked. I’m about to retire, I don’t want to or need to think “of that” now, do I?

And then it hit me. I certainly didn’t want my kids or my wife to deal with everything. I made the decision and felt a sense of relief. I met with a certified pre-planning specialist. He took my wife, my kids and I through all our options and provided us with the information we needed. He helped me understand that now my kids were secure and that if anything unfortunate were to happen, everything is taken care of. I planned for my retirement, so it only makes sense that I planned for the inevitable. Open to the public daily

Customers air concerns about Para Transpo Booking system has had ‘multiple service interruptions’ BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A meeting with OC Transpo senior management and a group of concerned Para Transpo riders took place on June 1. The meeting – originally slated for May – was to be an airing of grievances: Rid-

ers are fed up with long Para Transpo wait times and unpredictable arrival times. Transportation GM John Manconi told the city’s transit commission on May 31 that vacancies have led to longer wait times for the Para Trans-

po phone booking system. “We are looking to fill the vacancies to deal with Para Transpo issues,” he said. One of the meeting’s outcomes, according to a post by Alta Vista resident John Redins on the Facebook page Para Transpo Group Woes, is that management is considering riding the buses to talk with riders and see what their experience is like. ”They were receptive,” Redins wrote of management. Customers largely want an online booking system, something OC Transpo manager of customer service and planning Pat Scrimgeour said staff put on the back burner in an effort to focus on acquiring new vehicles and expand the eligibility criteria. Manconi said the wait times are the result of supply and demand, because the commission opened up the eligibility criteria for using the service. Manconi said the phone booking system has had “multiple service interruptions.” “We are looking into that,”

Some ParaTranspo users are fed up with long wait times and unpredictable arrival times. he said. Scrimgeour said there’s a lot of pressure on the phone system as 45 per cent of the trips by Para Transpo vehicles are “on demand,” which means they’ve been booked the day before. Currently, the booking line for the next day opens at 7 a.m. Riders looking for sameday rides can start calling for those rides after 9 a.m. “Customers call in immediately and there’s an influx that leads to high volumes and a call queue,” Scrimgeour said. Aside from the booking line bottleneck, concerned riders would also like to see

representation on the transit commission and the elimination of a review panel – which many people feel “overrules” the opinions of the riders’ doctors. Manconi said the transit commission has made investments into Para Transpo in the last two budgets and staff will continue to work on improving the service. Manconi said some difficult decisions may have to be made in order to order to deal with key issues. “We need to solve the challenge of people waiting for hours on hold on a phone line,” he said.

City celebrates AccessAbility day with accolades BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Rich Donovan, CEO of the Return on Disability Group, said the landscape is changing as baby boomers age, during his talk at the AccessAbility Day held at city hall on June 1.

18 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, June 8, 2017

The François Dupuis Recreation Centre in Orléans has been inducted into the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessible Cities Award Circle of Excellence. Ottawa received the honour during the 14th AccessAbility Day at city hall June 1. The day aims to eliminate barriers for people with disabilities entering the workforce. The recognition for the recreation centre is high praise, as the foundation’s mission is to remove barriers for all users, including those with mobility, vision, and hearing disabilities. Steve Kanellakos, the city manager, said the city has made several efforts over the past few years to remove physical barriers in all city facilities. “We are working to make 85 per cent of our intersections accessible,” Kanellakos said, referring to the tactile vibrating but-

tons at cross walks. Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said the federal government is working on a new federal disabilities law – with the input of 6,000 Canadians. Right now 14 per cent of the Canadian population are disabled and that number will only grow as the population ages, McGuinty said. “Since 2004 in each and every election I’ve pledged to fight for a federal disabilities act,” he said. “We are going to make a big change for Canada, because no one gets left behind.” McGuinty said the Liberal government has increased the $15 million enabling accessibility fund by $4 million in the 2016 budget. So far that’s helped 2,890 projects across the country, he said. For 2017, the government is calling for applications through the fund. The deadline for proposals is July 26. Rich Donovan, of the Return on Disability Group, shared the

reasons for making an investment in disabled employees. The market of disabled people is 1.2 billion worldwide, Donovan said, which makes it about the size of China. Companies that serve the disabled population, such as Google or Apple, have profited from doing so, he said. In addition, research shows the employed disabled population has a 72 per cent retention ratio – significantly higher than the greater population. Donovan said baby boomers are changing the landscape. “That generation isn’t going to Florida to wait and die like their parents did,” he said, adding we will likely see the new “90-year-old teenager.” The city’s AcesssAbility Day was co-sponsored by the United Way’s Employment Accessibility Resource Network (EARN). The city presented EARN representatives with a proclamation declaring June 1 Accessibility day in Ottawa.

From trash to treasure: Give Away Weekend returns June 10-11

Introducing our physicians:

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Get rid of clutter and help keep items out of the landfills by participating in the city’s spring Give Away Weekend, June 10 and 11. Residents are encouraged to put items large and small at the curb with a sign marked Free, and watch them disappear. “You can put out furniture, you can put out old pieces of lumber you're not going to use, drywall, anything like that can be put out,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “It’s almost open season – you can put clothing and toys and books and various things. You can put even a box of nails. It’s amazing what people will pick up when they go around.” Give Away Weekend began in Kanata, before the city amalgamated, as a way to divert usable items from the garbage, said Wilkinson. The city now promotes an event in the spring and fall each year.

Residents are encouraged to put any unwanted items at the curb with a free sign for Give Away weekend, June 10 and 11. “Everything I've put out has been taken away,” she said. “Some people drive around really looking for things. If a lot of people put things out you get more people going around to look. We encourage people to do that.” Health Canada advises that

certain children’s items not be placed at the curb, such as cribs, car seats, strollers and other items. Items not picked up must be brought back in at the end of the weekend. For more information, visit Ottawa.ca.

Public school board gets first glimpse at 2017-2018 budget BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

After closing several schools in the public school board, the savings didn’t quite add up for some trustees as they got their first look at the proposed budget. Staff estimates the money saved from the closures will be $1.2 million. Reduced funding from the province means the number is actually half what was achieved by the closures. The figure was presented on May 30 during a presentation of

the proposed budget of $928.1 million for the 2017-2018 school year. This year it will cost the board about $200,000 to keep the buildings secure and maintained before they are disposed of. The savings were also hampered by increased transportation costs: providing passes to students transferring to Gloucester High, as well as the increased price of OC Transpo passes, inflation and increased demand for small and large buses. All told, transportation

costs will increase by $2.2 million, though some of it is offset by related revenue. “I think we’re going to have to justify that,” said Theresa Kavanagh, trustee for the Bay zone, who added busing costs were just one of the concerns highlighted by parents through the accommodation review process. “That’s a big jump.” Chief financial officer Mike Carson reminded trustees that cost savings are not the primary reason for completing accommodation reviews — the pri-

mary goal is to give students more programs and more opportunities at the right number of schools. “The dollars and cents by itself do not drive that,” he said. But when Jennifer Adams, director of education and secretary of the board, mentioned an investment of $700,000 for mobile technology was a “very tiny amount of money” or a drop in the bucket, Rideau-Vanier/ Capital trustee Shawn Menard took aim. See BOARD, page 24 Metroland file photo

Ottawa-Carleton District school board trustees got their first look at the budget on May 30. The budget showed $1.2 million in savings from the closure of several schools and extra funding for new staff.

Evelina Albertha Poirier (nee Bakker) 24 November 1935 – 27 May 2017 In loving memory of a dedicated mother, devoted wife, and dependable friend who passed away unexpectedly at home while pursuing her labors of love. Words cannot describe the void you have left in our hearts since your passing. The pain of losing you echoes across the ocean to family on distant shores. Evelina was born in the town of Wolvega in the Netherlands to mother Klaasje Schreur, and father Hendrik Bakker, who were Holstein dairy farmers by profession. She was one of 8 children, and the last remaining member of the original family who immigrated to Canada on November 2, 1951 to escape the ravages of WWII, and the economic hardship that ensued. The family who immigrated included both parents, brothers Jan and Hendrik, and younger twin brothers Roel-Reini & Reini-Roel who were assigned to Evelina’s care, which she accepted with pride and a sense of duty. Left behind in the Netherlands were 3 sisters, Geesje, Minke, and last surviving member Anna. Evelina settled with her family in Prince Edward Island and helped her father and brothers as a farm hand. She left P.E.I in 1955 to pursue work in Ottawa where she began work at the Royal Bank of Canada. She later moved on to a career as a manager at Steinberg grocers, and finally finished her career at the Bank of Nova Scotia as a loans officer. Throughout her working life, she also devoted her time to organizing little league soccer, school fundraisers, and canvassed for charities. Her true love however was carpentry and gardening, which she devoted much of her time to. She was married in September 1966 to Cliff Poirier and they had 2 boys, Rene Poirier, born on September 1, 1969, and deceased on December 20, 2009, and Erik Poirier, born March 24, 1973. She is survived by her husband Cliff Poirier, son Erik Poirier, and sister Anna Bakker A memorial service will be held at the United Church at 6255 Fernbank Rd, in Stittsville, Ontario on Saturday June 10 at 13:00. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Habitat for Humanity, The Ottawa Mission, or The War Amps. “I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me.” —Lisa Goich

The fact is that we are actually losing money from the province for top-up funding.” With all the time spent on accommodation reviews, she asked staff if selling off the buildings or disposing of them more quickly could be a priority so that the board could see the full picture of realized savings. “We are in difficult times and I’d rather see finances come from that reinvested in

If not for some extra provincial funds, the OttawaCarleton School Board’s budget could have looked a lot worse. That’s the message Carson delivered to trustees. “This budget was not as difficult as the last two to three years,” he said as he delivered some opening remarks.

We have timed 5 and 10k races as well as a 1km, and a Tot Trot for the little ones. TOWN HALL MEETING JUNE 19, 7-9PM - At my last meeting before the summer months there will be a number of presentations including Minto’s Arcadia subdivision, City staff on proposed land uses on City owned lands adjacent to the Town Centre Park and the apartment complex on Maritime Way adjacent to Village Green. Come to the Kanata Senior Centre in the Mlacak Centre to find out what is happening and provide your input or view a live-streaming on my Facebook page in the comfort of your home. MOSQUITOES, NOXIOUS WEEDS and TICKS - are in our community. Do enjoy the outdoors but become familiar with plants such as poison parsnip and poison ivy and avoid touching them as they can create skin problems. If you see these on public lands please notify 3-1-1 of the location. Ticks are more serious and may test positive for Lyme disease. Check yourself and your pets for ticks after going into woodlands or tall grass. Information on removing and reporting them is on the City website. The nuisance mosquito program is underway with a second treatment now underway due to the heavy rains. Since not all landowners permit treatment on their lands you will still have a few mosquitoes. Last year, as measured through test traps within and outside of the treated area, there were 92% fewer mosquitoes in Kanata North. THE OTTAWA POLICE SERVICES SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM is focusing this month on PEDESTRIAN SAFETY and CONSTRUCTION ZONES. Be sure to watch out for people walking or biking and try to avoid construction areas where possible. Be particularly careful at the new pedestrian crossings, such as at the roundabouts and on the Parkway where cars must stop for pedestrians. DID YOU KNOW! You can now apply for your police check online. In most cases you do not have to go to the police station to apply. Please visit the Ottawa Police website at www.ottawapolice.ca for more information.

Concussion laws pushed to national agenda BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Politicians and advocates are calling for a set of national concussion laws on the eve of the anniversary of the passing of Rowan’s Law at Queen’s Park on May 30. The law is a legacy for Rowan Stringer – a rugby player from John McCrae Secondary School who died following a concussion. Her parents, Kathleen and Gordon Stringer, along with Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod; Dr. Tim Fleiszer, executive director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation; Dr. Michael Strong; and Hockey Hall-ofFamer Eric Lindros talked about the work of Rowan’s Law committee, which is currently working on a series of 49 recommendations to build on the law. The recommendations are a result of an inquest into Rowan’s death. Right now, the focus is to put pressure on other jurisdictions to enact similar legislation, MacLeod said. The law is named after a 17-year-old John McCrae Secondary School rugby player,

Gord and Kathleen Stringer, parents of Rowan Stringer, who died at 17 due to complications from undiagnosed concussions, stand in front of a new sign that dedicates a rugby pitch at Ken Ross Park to their daughter in June 2016. Rowan Stringer, who died following a head injury in 2013. “We’ve got great stakeholder associations, and so many resources available to us to put together a national strategy,” Gordon Stringer said. Lindros said things in sport are moving in the right direction – despite some areas that need improvement.

“We need to solve the concussion crisis,” Fleiszer said, adding now there’s mandatory removal from play for players who are thought to have a concussion, and mandatory education for key stakeholders — including medical professionals who deal with concussions. Rowan’s Law is an intra-ministerial task force that brings to-

gether experts from the ministries of health, sport, advanced education, and children and youth to review the recommendations from the inquest. The task force has reviewed legislation, policies, and best practices from other jurisdictions on head injuries, and how best to implement the inquest recommendations. Fleiszer said that while you can’t take the contact out of contact sports, it’s about changing the culture. And it starts at a professional level. MacLeod, who volunteers with her daughter Victoria’s hockey team in Nepean, said she’s seeing a culture shift in recreational sports, as well. “We say your daughter might miss this game, but you can’t replace your child if something were to happen,” she said. The Rowan’s Legacy team planned to host an event at Rowan’s Pitch on Longfields Drive on June 7. The event was expected to herald an announcement about the See the Line Concussion Symposium and a corresponding Rowan’s Legacy charitable golf tournament.

Since it was launched, more than 500 women have completed the extensive training required to provide volunteer peer support to victims of family violence, said Dore. “Often survivors themselves, these volunteers act as inspiration to women who have made the courageous decision to start a life free from abuse,” she said. The theme of this year’s award is resiliency, a quality program volunteers embody, said Melody Paruboczy, executive director of the centre. “You deserve this great award bestowed upon the peer support program … for helping the women that we support to know that they are enough and to help them move from surviving to thriving,”

Peer supporters promote healthy dating among youth School program delivered to more than 1,000 students this year BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Volunteers are the backbone of the peer support program at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The program, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and recently awarded an Attorney General’s Victim Services Award of Distinction, is all about women helping other women who have left or are in abusive situations. Many of the volunteers are survivors of abuse themselves. In an effort to prevent more

women from needing the violenceagainst-women services offered at the centre in the future, peer supporters Phyllis Powell and Terry Longhorn helped develop and implement school-based programs for middle and high school students. “Like we say in the classrooms, we don’t want to see you,” said Longhorn, who’s been a peer supporter since 2005. “We want ourselves out of a job. We don’t want to see you in the shelters, or your friends.” The statistics still point to one in three teenagers experiencing some form of relationship abuse. In a classroom of 27 students, the probability is that nine will experience some form of dating abuse. “Those stats haven’t changed,” said Powell, a peer supporter since 2004. “If you don’t know the difference

between what's healthy and what's unhealthy, you don’t know.” Which is why the two women talk to hundreds of students every year. The healthy dating and relationships program, for Grades 7 and

8 students, and an annual poster contest for high schoolers start conversations around behaviours while working to break down myths and gender stereotypes. It’s also about giving youth the

tools needed to recognize unhealthy behaviours and the strategies to support someone who may be experiencing dating abuse. See THE MESSAGE, page 29

‘The message is getting out there’: peer supporter co-operation between them. You compromise.” A partner who uses isolation, power and control – enforcing rules about who someone can see, where they can go, what they can wear or say – and masks it in the guise of love can be very confusing for youth. “We do tell them that your

“A healthy relationship is based on both people being able to be themselves,” said Powell. “To (be) as equals, to have their own interests, their own friends. They continue with their activities, their education. And what they are doing is respectful, there’s

relationship will begin and it will be wonderful and it will be great and you wouldn’t go into it if you knew it would be unhealthy,” said Powell. “But that’s the beginning of it. It’s being aware of when little things begin to creep in that maybe you're not happy; it begins to make you feel strange. It’s all of

those things that can be mistaken as somebody caring for you when in fact it’s not somebody caring for you.” Since 2008, Powell and Longhorn have spoken to thousands of area students. This year alone they’ve presented to more than 1,000 youth in schools and other youth-based organizations.

And their work seems to be paying off. When the two peer supporters speak with older students, many have already participated in the Grades 7 and 8 programs. “The message is getting out there. They're beginning to use the vocabulary,” said Powell. “If all this time we’ve spent going out there, one

person gets it, it will be worth all our time.” For more information on the peer support program and the violence against women services offered at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, visit wocrc.ca/programs/violenceagainst-women or call 613591-3686.

As a registered massage therapist (and many other professions governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act), you are permitted to incorporate. The Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) and the Regulated Health Professions Act govern incorporation. Once incorporated, a Certificate of Authorization from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CPSO) is required for your professional corporation to practice massage therapy in Ontario. There may be significant benefits to incorporation arising through the deferral of tax through retention of excess cash and having the corporation make investments. Cash may be withdrawn at a later date during your retirement. Unfortunately, you are not permitted to issue shares to family members (as physicians and dentists are allowed) and thus cannot benefit from tax splitting opportunities with other family members.

About J. Robert Allan

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

There is a large caveat regarding the tax advantages. If CRA determines that an incorporated individual is in fact really just an employee of the entity she is working for, the corporation would be deemed a Personal Services Business (PSB). A consequence of being a PSB is that the corporation cannot claim the same expenses as a small business and loses eligibility for the small business deduction (that allows income to be taxed at a lower rate). You may be exposed to some element of double taxation. So, the decision to incorporate must be approached with some caution. The determination of whether or not you are a PSB is a question of fact and includes factors such as control of the performance of work, who has ownership of tools, and the chance of profit or risk of loss. Your professional advisor can help guide you to make the determination if incorporation is suitable for you.

Vandals spray paint profanities on Kanata Lakes homes ‘It’s a mix of houses and random families’ BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A number of Kanata Lakes residents woke up the morning of Monday, May 29, to find their homes had been spraypainted with profanities. Vandals used gold and red spray paint on front doors and garage doors, cars and licence plates, as well as mailboxes, fences and sidewalks. Angie Hon, who lives near Keyrock Park, didn’t know her house had been tagged until she was backing her vehicle out of her garage. “I was just headed to work and then when I was closing the garage door, obviously we saw the word on it,” she said. The first question to run through her mind was if her family was being targeted. “Is it targeting to us? Are we safe?," she asked. "What will the kids think when they come home and see this?” Hon posted a picture of the vandalism on Facebook and quickly found out she wasn’t the only one who had been hit. See POLICE, page 31

Another resident posted that her fence had been tagged with the words “Gang” and “613.” A derogatory and sexist term was written in large red letters on another’s garage and more profanity adorned other doors. Hon reported the vandalism to Ottawa police and said neighbours saw officers come by to take photos. Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesperson, said police are aware of the issue and are investigating. “When our crime analysts

see a rise in criminality in an area, patrol officers are advised to pay special attention to that area,” said Soucy. “Our best advice to people is that when they see something suspicious they are asked to call the police and report it.” Hon said no one in her house heard anything unusual. RANDOM

Hon saw a number of neighbours cleaning paint off their property and repainting garage doors in the rain on Monday.

“It’s just sad. It’s a mix of houses and random families,” she said. “We are pretty shocked that this happened to a good neighbourhood.” Hon wants to make sure others are aware of what happened so neighbours can be more vigilant. “We just want to make sure, the whole purpose of us posting on the Facebook is to generate the awareness; make sure people are aware of what’s happening in the neighbourhood and be on the lookout for everybody,” she said. The idea of creating a Neighbourhood Watch for the area is appealing, she said, adding she’s heard about a number of thefts from vehicles in the area as well. “It’s to be more alert and making sure that everybody can help each other,” said Hon. “The major key point is having a safe community.”

Ottawa software company experiences ‘unprecedented’ growth Member365 to set up shop in tech park BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

An Ottawa software company is graduating from the L-Spark startup accelerator in Kanata on June 13 and moving into its own office in the Kanata North Business Park. Member365, a management software company for member-based organizations, recently received $1.3 million in seed funding and launched worldwide. The product is aimed at solving inefficiencies in companies’ day-to-day operations. Founded by brothers Michael and Stephen Foley, the

startup is experiencing “an explosive and unprecedented” 1,500 per cent growth; its customer base has jumped from 10 beta clients to 150 customers, said Marty Knight, director of marketing. Among the group’s new customers is the Kanata North Business Association. “Member365 is charting a path to becoming a world-class player in its market,” said Stephen, CEO of the company, in a news release. The startup began with seven employees when it arrived at LSpark 16 months ago, said Knight. “We are at 21 now,”

he said. “We have four immediate openings and we rented space to hold 50 employees.” The company will be moving into office space at 535 Legget Dr. on Aug. 1.

“One of the biggest challenges we face today is getting enough qualified staff to keep up with our significant growth,” said Michael, company COO, in the release.

“We want to collaborate with the brightest minds, the most inventive thinkers, and experienced professionals.” The brothers joined LSpark — which helps startups

grow and find funding — in 2016. Member365 now has a presence in seven countries and has created product distribution partnerships in Chicago, Orlando and New Zealand.

Redblacks working on opportunity to defend title at home BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

Back-to-back Grey Cup appearances is a pretty impressive record for a CFL team with only three completed seasons. Winning a ring in one of those games is even more impressive. Now the Ottawa Redblacks have the opportunity to something incredibly rare in the league — defend their title on home turf. This year the Redblacks host the Grey Cup game at TD Place and are hard at work, getting this year’s squad ready for that test — but that is not the team’s focus. “It’s just about getting better, from one year to the next, one week to the next,” general manager Marcel Desjardins told Metroland Media. “We’re just trying to find the right pieces to make us better in terms of the players

and then what we can do away from the personnel side of things to make our environment better.” The Redblacks are right in the middle of training camp leading in to the first pre-season game Thursday, June 8. Camp ends a week later with their final pre-season game in Montreal on June 15. Desjardins, coach Rick Campbell, wide receiver Brad Sinopli and defensive lineman Ettore Lattanzio spoke with Metroland Media following training camp Day 5’s practice to talk about the upcoming season. “We’re working, which is good — we’re working hard and getting better at stuff,” coach Campbell said. “I think the whole key is to keep getting better every day. I’d say, so far so good. But we can’t be content. I always give the guys the speech, when you walk

out the door at night, that you walk out better than when you cam in. If guys keep that attitude and keep working at it, we’ll be competitive.” The front office is working at getting better, too, which is a tall task when you’ve lost three-time Grey Cup champion, two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player and future hall of famer, quarterback Henry Burris. But one thing the Redblacks has done well in its brief history, is make sure the most important position in football has been well staffed. Last year, the team brought in Trevor Harris to back up Burris, and Harris played in 12 games, completed 242 passes for 3,301 yards and 16 touchdowns. The speedy pivot also ran for two touchdowns. This year the team signed Drew Tate to back up Harris and both Desjardins and Campbell are confident in the quarterback position. “The quarterbacks have been doing well,” Campbell said. “It’s good to have Trevor back obviously. He played for us last year and played very well so it is making the transition for all the guys a little easier and just having the continuity with all of the offensive coaches being back. It makes that transition easier. We hope to not miss a beat.” We’re not naïve enough to think we’ll ever be at the level we were last year with both Henry and Trevor, but having Trevor and Drew as a combination is a pretty good combination,” Desjardins said. “For us, even Brock Jensen (released on June 5) and Ryan Lindley as three and four as of right now, is a good situation, so we feel good about that position.” Redblacks six-foot-four veteran wide receiver Brad Sinopli, who caught 90 passes last year, many of those from Harris, says the quarterbacks are looking good in camp so far. And the former Ottawa Gee Gee quarterback knows a thing or two about the position. “Harris is doing a great job,” the

Trevor Harris comes in to the season as the undisputed starter for the Redblacks for the 2017 season following the retirement of Henry Burris. Peterborough native said. “I know he’s been working hard in the off-season to get better in every little way he can. I think he’s been waiting for this for a while so he’s excited and I think the whole team is excited to have him as our leader.” Wide receiver was another position that has seen a lot of change over 2016 (in a league where teams regularly have major turnover from year to year).

Ernest Jackson were two of the four Redblacks receivers who surpassed 1,000 yards receiving last season. Both have new homes this year with Williams taking his talents to British Columbia and Jackson joining the Montreal Alouettes. Desjardins has been bringing in pieces, even as late as a couple of weeks ago, to fill out the hands unit. See TEAM, page 35

Team coming together Continued from page 34

“The core guys that were instrumental the last couple of seasons, Sinopli and Greg Ellingson are still here,” he said. “Juron Criner (six-foot-three, 220 pounds) came into the mix partway through the season after Williams got hurt and we signed two guys from Toronto — Kenny Shaw (six-foot, 170 pounds) and Diontae Spencer (five-footeight, 185 pounds) and they both fit in very well, not only in terms as players. They fit in to our locker-room very well. We have Jake Harty (six-foot-two, 210 pounds) as a Canadian who’s been here. We have numerous options of younger guys, Canadian and American, that we feel will be able to give us the depth we need because we know during the season not everybody is going to play every game.” Sinopli says the receiving group is looking good early in camp. “It’s going well,” he said. “I think everyone has the offense down pretty well now. As always, when you have a bunch of new guys it takes a little while for it

to come together and we’re just kind of feeling each other out. We’re just trying to work hard. The last five or six days is all install, so we have a lot on our plates, but so far it’s going really well.” On the stop side of the ball, the Redblacks secondary has seen a lot of change heading in to 2017. Desjardins says there is enough experience remaining with Redblacks 2014 draft pick safety Antoine Pruneau (sixfoot, 200 pounds) Jonathan Rose (six-foot-one, 190 pounds) returning to the team. Desjardins brought in A.J. Jefferson (sixfoot, 190 pounds) from Toronto who was a CFL All Star last season to play opposite Rose. “We have several other returning players and some new guys, so we have a lot of very good options in the back end,” Desjardins said. “We’re actually very comfortable with where we’re at.” So far during training camp, the offensive side of the ball has been spotted doing more pushups than the defence following head-to-head drills — a sign the defence seems to be gelling well.

Ottawa native Lattanzio (sixfoot, 252 pounds) is entering his third season with the Redblacks and agrees the defence is coming together nicely. “I think we’re ahead at this time of year then we were at this time last hear,” he said. “The DBs are getting a lot of picks, which is really nice to see. The Dline is applying a lot of pressure and that’s allowing the DBs and linebackers to do their jobs well.” Despite Ottawa hosting the Grey Cup for the first time since 2004, the team, from top to bottom, is feeling no extra pressure attempting to be a competitor. “I’d say for the average person that should seem to be the case,” Lattanzio said. “But honestly, we haven’t even talked about it and that really comes down to coach Campbell’s whole mentality. He keeps everything super even keel and doesn’t put that pressure on us. We are all adults and we all know what we can achieve and what’s at stake if we underachieve. So there’s no need to put that added pressure on us. We just need to play football and perform.”

Big innovation ideas roll into Ottawa at aviation museum BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

A different kind of business tour took over the Canada Aviation and Space Museum this week. The SAP Business Reimagined Tour pulled into Ottawa on May 31 to showcase to its local business partners — in this case, the city of Ottawa and the public service in Ottawa — the latest in technology to help

make regular day-to-day tasks a little easier. “This is so they can experience the future of business,” said Chris Durkin, director of marketing for SAP. Known as the world’s largest business software company, SAP develops technologies that can help companies revolutionize everything from cancer treatments to flood prevention. In Ottawa, the company focused on meeting with the city’s

largest workforce — the public sector. “This is all about offering them a chance to see how they can apply the technology offered here to the public sector,” Durkin added. A trailer has been converted into a technology showcase, where Pepper the android welcomes visitors and acts as a receptionist. She does everything from answer questions to pose for a

selfie. Aside from the delightful Pepper, the rest of the trailer included everything from smart shelving for stores — that helps customers pick the product that is 99 per cent a match for them — to a digital boardroom or an augmented virtual reality. The tour left little to dream about when it comes to taking businesses practices into the future. Durkin himself said he was captivated by the drone technology they have on display in the trailer, stating they have created technology that can send a drone up to help find the exact place where a power outage has happened, to reduce the time a company like Hydro Ottawa can take to rectify the problem. Inside the museum, more than 100 public sector employees attended a full-day conference that included keynote

ference in the United States, known as Sapphire Now — where more than 25,000 clients attend to get a glimpse at the latest technologies for business. Bill Tompkins, senior director of customer experience, said this mobile tour is simply about taking the company’s story on the road for all businesses, big and small, to check out.

Proposed bilingual bill could open up Ottawa to lawsuits: Mayor BY ERIN MCCRACKEN AND MICHELLE NASH BAKER erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An Ottawa MPP’s attempt to shore up city’s bilingual character with new provincial legislation could have costly legal ramifications, according to Ottawa’s mayor. “At the end of the day, any time any piece of legislation is presented and adopted, you never know what the consequences are in terms of people wanting to take court action,” Mayor Jim Watson said hours after OttawaVanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers introduced a private member’s bill at Queen’s Park on May 31 to make Ot-

MAYOR JIM WATSON tawa’s current bilingualism bylaw and language policy provincial law. “The fear is if there was ever legislation that was brought in that would basically determine a level of

service that we just didn’t have,” he said, citing an example in which an Ottawa couple could not order a 7Up in French on an Air Canada flight. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. “The last thing we need are a bunch of lawsuits that will cost taxpayers a lot of money,” Watson said. Des Rosiers said there is no difference between her private member’s bill and the city’s current bylaw, only that she believes her bill will make bilingualism in Ottawa official. See BILL, page 43

Bill would recognize ‘bilingual character’ of the city Watson said he’s satisfied with city’s bilingual services Continued from page 42

“Essentially, I used the terms of the bylaw and the bilingual policy,” she said in an interview, adding that this bill is essentially a symbolic gesture to ensure the original framework of the city’s bylaw reflects the current reality on the ground. The legislation would recognize Ottawa’s “special character,” she said in a statement. Des Rosiers said she reached out to the Bilingual Ottawa project and the city to hear what their concerns were before drafting the bill, and looked at previous propositions that were made. “I did my legal homework and tried to find words that capture what is important,” she said, adding this is a con-

versation she will continue to have with Ottawa residents, as the bill goes through its first to third readings. The former lawyer said she is willing to discuss it with people who may have suggestions to amend or add to the bill, but that she thinks in the end the bill reflects the current reality in the city and she simply wanted to make sure that it was official. In response, Watson has echoed a stance he took last September on the bilingualism debate after advocates with the Bilingual Ottawa project proposed changes to the city’s bilingual policy to make the municipality officially bilingual. The quest to ensure future city councils respect the current level of bilingualism came on the heels of a survey, sponsored by the Montfort Hospital, La Cité collegial and two French-

language school boards. It revealed 54 per cent of the 750 polled (most of them Anglophones) were in favour of the idea. Another 13 per cent showed some level of support. However, at that time Watson expressed satisfaction with what he said was the city’s “exceptional” level of bilingual services. He also noted then the importance of ensuring bilingual city staff are stationed strategically based on demographics, though residents can be served in the language of their choice no matter which ward they call home. When reviewed by the city’s legal department, Des Rosiers’ proposed legislation states the obvious: that the city has a language bill and it must be followed, said Watson, who also noted he was never approached by Des Rosiers to discuss her private member’s bill. “We’re quite happy that they’re not telling us what to do. The legislation states in it that the city bylaw is supreme,” he said. “The passage of the

bill will not change things. We’ll continue to provide services in both English and French and our bylaw is a very good bylaw that ensures all people are served in their language.” He acknowledged the city’s language policy and its 2001-enacted bylaw are not at the same level of the federal government, but said they still serve the community well. Residents can be served in French and English, city publications are bilingual, and council meetings feature bilingual interpretation. Osgoode Coun. George Da-

rouze said Ottawa is already bilingual. “We don’t need to put more layers on being officially bilingual,” he said, adding this could come with a financial cost, as well. But Des Rosiers said this isn’t the case. “The bill amends the City of Ottawa Act to provide a recognition of its ‘bilingual character,’ the words currently used by the bylaw,” she said. Likewise, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said the bill comes down to optics and serves no purpose. “It’s all just for show,” he said. “Don’t do stuff

is almost upon us!

that does nothing. Do stuff that does something. As well, Watson said a city report released the same day Des Rosiers’ bill was introduced revealed “a dramatic decrease” in the number of complaints the city received in 2016 about its French language services. There were 23 complaints that year, down from 83 the year before. “We get more complaints about raccoons,” said Moffatt.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Constituent Town Hall Thank you to everyone who came out to our Town Hall. MP Seamus O’Regan and I were happy to engage in such lively and informative discussion with 82 constituents. Popular topics included GMO policy, Canada Summer Jobs, electoral reform, internet access, and more. I look forward to taking this input with me to Parliament Hill to help me to best represent the community of Kanata-Carleton. Kanata-Carleton Cultural Festival This was the first festival of its kind in the riding, and I was happy to participate in the celebration of Kanata-Carleton’s diverse arts and culture community. Having a tent at the event allowed me to witness and share in the lively discussions and presentations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, and to Councillor Wilkinson for organizing this incredible initiative. I am proud to be a member of such an open and inclusive community.

Door Knocking Bridlewood It was great to engage with the Bridlewood community by knocking on doors this past weekend. I had a great team with me and together we were able to hear from the community about issues that mattered to them. I was happy to receive great feedback and I want to thank all those who took the time to chat. I will be knocking on more doors throughout the summer and I hope to see you in your neighbourhood soon. Tim Horton’s Camp Day I had the pleasure of serving coffee to celebrate Camp Day at the Tim Horton’s at 4060 Carling Avenue. Grabbing the morning coffee is a ritual for many, and I enjoyed meeting so many people. Having 100% of that day’s coffee and bracelet proceeds going to Tim Horton’s Children’s Foundation makes it all the more worthwhile. Last year, Camp Day raised over $13.1 million to provide youth with access to summer camps. I hope that we can beat that goal this year. Thank you to Chris McCluskey, Elisia MacMaster, and Khaled Rashad for hosting me. Dunrobin Station 66 Pancake Breakfast I was proud to support the brave local volunteer firefighters of Dunrobin’s Volunteer Fire Station 66 at their recent Pancake Breakfast. It was a beautiful day for the community to gather and celebrate the important role these hardworking men and women play in protecting our community. It was great to see Councillor Eli El-Chantiry sharing in the most important meal of the day! Thank you for a great breakfast, and for all you do for our community. Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

SIU investigating ByWard Market weekend shooting BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Two people are dead and a third sustained non-life threatening injuries following a shooting in the ByWard Market involving police. The Special Investigations Unit is now looking into the details surrounding the shooting. The civilian agency investigates incidents involving police officers, including death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. The SIU held a news conference in the early afternoon of June 3, which detailed the events that started around 2 a.m. that morning. Jason Gennaro, spokesperson for the SIU, said a police officer was driving near the area of Dalhousie Street and Clarence Street and around the same time, a man was shot on the west side of Dalhousie and north of Clarence. That man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. When the police officer tried to arrest a male suspect,

the man fled. At that point, a 43-year-old man was shot; he was rushed to the hospital and later pronounced dead.

‘The SIU, in this particular situation, has an interest in the confrontation that occurred in the parking garage.’ JASON GENNARO SPOKESPERSON FOR THE SIU

The police officer followed the suspect around the corner into a parking garage east of Dalhousie off Murray Street. Inside, there was a confrontation between the officer and the 31-year-old suspect. “Several shots were fired, the man was pronounced dead on the scene,” Gennaro said, adding the police officer was not injured. “The SIU, in this particu-

lar situation, has an interest in the confrontation that occurred in the parking garage.” The parking garage was cordoned off until around noon on June 4. At that time police reopened the garage for people to remove their vehicles. In a press release, Ottawa Police Service said it had no comment on the investigation. The SIU does not have consent to release the names for either victim, but said postmortems for both men would be held on June 5. Those results are considered evidence and will not be made public. The SIU has identified one subject officer and two witness officers. It has also assigned 10 officers, three forensic and seven investigators, to the case. In the coming days, officers will be canvassing the area looking for surveillance footage and witnesses. It is also appealing for help in its investigation. Anyone with information about any of the three shootings is encouraged to contact the SIU. The

One location under forensic investigation is a city parking facility. agency is also asking for any video or surveillance footage to be submitted through their

has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident.

from a missing person report, a suicide threat and an armed robbery to a downtown demonstration and a gun call at a Barrhaven high school. Frontline policing Insp. Carl Cartright said it’s a promising start to the initial phase of the centre, which is part of the department’s new service initiative, developed to help its members better serve and protect at a time when policing in North America is facing pressure in the form of costs, population growth and changes, more calls and a surge in more complex crime. Inside the whisper-quiet (at the moment) and windowless centre, a team of uniformed officers and civilian crime and intelligence analysts, who also track crime patterns at the neighbourhood level, scan

banks of computer screens and large television monitors. At their fingertips is a flow of real-time traffic maps, a national news feed, police facility and other City of Ottawa cameras and social media channels, as well as officer locations. They can also tap into building layouts, photos of suspects and past case files. This provides incident commanders “with greater situational awareness,” Cartright said. “As an incident commander, I’ve been here in this office watching the monitors and the screens … to get a better view of what’s happening in the city.” The concept of the ops centre is not new in North America. Some police departments embraced it a decade ago, including Calgary’s, one of several police services Ottawa consulted as it developed its own model. Ottawa’s 26-member centre, which operates seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., will evolve over time as technology changes. “This is the beginning product,” Cartright said. “We’re going to evolve into where we want to be.” See POLICE, page 50

available, Cartright said when asked about balancing privacy and having eyes on the ground. “There’s so much video access out there,” he said. “We’re the capital city. We have large events that occur here, large

City of Ottawa Notice of Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Secondary Plan Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area Community Design Plan In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment and secondary plan proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) affect properties located in Ward 19, Cumberland. The CDP area is generally bounded to: the west by Mer Bleue Road; the east by Tenth Line Road; to the north by Mer Bleue area (Avalon West development), and at southern limit the boundary runs along Wall Road through community of Notre Dame Des Champs to Tenth Line Road (running approximately the mid-way point between Wall Road and Navan Road). Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: a Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components; and a Master Transportation Study (MTS) to provide the street network;. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the EMP, MSS and MTS. The purpose of the OPA and Secondary Plan is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Mer Bleue UEA CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate McKinnon’s Creek and a significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update the natural heritage system feature. The effect of the Secondary Plan is to provide the planning framework and policies that are required to implement area’s vision with future development applications or public works. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/merbleuecdp or to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-17-0006 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or e-mail by June 20, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa.

those agreements already set in place.” The centre, the operational cost of which was not available, is designed to boost efficiency, ensure resources are properly allocated and increase officer safety. For example, a crime analyst monitoring the flow of incoming service calls can flag a potentially high-risk or complex call for the centre’s watch commander, who may decide the unfolding investigation could benefit from the team’s all-hands-on-deck approach to information gathering, such as providing officers with the layout of a shopping centre. “That’s not easily available to officers responding to critical incidents,” Cartright said. “When you’re driving a car, responding to a call, you don’t have the time to do that.” The team members, chosen for their expertise, can also anticipate what an officer may need. The ops team can quickly access information about a high-risk missing person, such as their mental-health status

Always something to be done in the fields MARY I n my mind’s eye I could see Father in the far-off fields earlier in the spring, plowing the fields that lay beyond the Bonnechere River over the West Hill. He walked behind the plow, stooped over as if he were carrying a heavy load. He used the furrow first plowed, as a guideline, never once looking back to make sure he was moving in a straight line. I would, if I wasn’t at school, go over to where he was working, sit on the log fence, and watch him. He would nod in my direction, but there was no time for idle chatter, and I would stay there for the longest time, often wondering how he could stand the constant back and forth of walking the fields that made up our farm on that side of the river. And even though much

COOK

Memories time had passed since those fields had been plowed, there was still the land on what he called the north side of the railroad tracks to tend to. Often the first-plowed fields would be sprouted by the time Father had finished plowing and planting the other fields of grain. And now he was sitting on the rim of the big water tank in the barn yard. The bottoms of his bib-overalls were caked with mud from the fields he had been

working in, and I saw that even his leather laces in his work boots were hidden by the dirt. I knew he would be stripping in the wood shed before coming into the house for his supper. He sat with the plowpoint between his knees, anchored tightly so it couldn’t move. And I wondered how he could endure the pain of its weight on his legs, as he held it firmly so that he could work on it. And I knew why he was

sitting on the rim of the water trough that was there to quench the thirst of the livestock in the hot summer weather. He had in his hand the whetstone and he was trying to sharpen the plow point to make the job yet to be done easier. I saw that the very point of the plow point had worn away, leaving that part jagged, but there was enough left to finish the job if he could once again create a sharp edge. And that was what he was trying to do on that hot summer day. You just didn’t buy a new plowpoint because a bit of it had worn off! I once asked Father how something so hard could wear down to that point, and he said it was because the land, even though his ancestors had done their best to remove them, still had buried stones in the ground. The constant

contact with the stones was what had worn the plowpoint down. Father, with his hands bare, scraped the stone over and over the edge of the plow-point, stopping only long enough to dip the whetstone into the trough of water, trying to create a new sharp edge. I went to the pump close by and brought him a cup of cold water. He took the cup with his weather-beaten hand and swallowed it down without stopping. He handed the cup back to me, only nodding his thanks. Again, I knew there was no time for idle chatter. The north fields beckoned him, and the plow point had to be ready. As I so often did, I watched Father at work that day. I moved to the twig chair that sat on the back stoop so that I could see him, hoping he didn’t know

that I was there. If he did, there was no acknowledgement. And again, in my mind’s eye, I could see him walking mile after mile behind the plow pulled by our horse, and I wondered at how he could stand the monotony of it all. The steady plodding up and down, one field after another, and to finish the job, spending untold hours sitting in the sun trying to create a new sharp edge to a plow point that had served three generations. But that’s the way it was. And the way it would always be. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, while it is important to take care of others, you shouldn’t do so at the expense of your own health and happiness. Give yourself a break this week.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite
