Firefighters limit spread of blaze at Briarbrook home Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

There were many 911 calls reporting a Briarbrook blaze to the Ottawa fire department on June 16.

The fire was confirmed while firefighters were still on the way to the location, said a fire department press release.

The attack on the fire took place at a home at 78 Inverary Dr., off of Shirley’s Brook Drive in Kanata, part of a six-unit row housing complex.

Ottawa firefighters called a second alarm due to the fire’s intensity, but no people or pets were said to be inside.

Graffiti tags found at Old Town Hall on March Road Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Old Town Hall can be found where March and Klondike roads meet.

On the morning of June 13, Kitty Langill made a discovery there that disheartened her – graffiti tags on the quaint building.

Heritage

“It’s a heritage building. It’s just senseless tagging,” said Langill.

“I called the city and the graffiti was cleaned up by Wednesday evening. They were very prompt.”

Langill belongs to the

ottawa

Kanata March Horticultural Society, and the group has monthly meetings at the Old Town Hall.

Many others also use the facility.

“There are several lovely gardens, a rose arbour for sitting and a nearby play structure,” Langill said.

“The garden is dedicated and named after one of the founding members, Molly Wilson.”

Langill added that the hydro box on March Road in the front of the fence and the Shoppers Drug Mart were also targeted and were part of the cleanup as they were in the same area.

Low income bus passes debated by city Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Routes, signals and stations were all discussed at the transit committee at city hall on June 15, but the sticking topic was fares and the creation of a lowincome bus pass.

Staff proposed a new fare table that eliminated express fare charges, increased a $6.50 a month increase, and didn’t include a lowincome pass.

A low-income pass, at just over $40 a month for low-income individuals, would cost $3.3 million to implement.

There was debate over how the city could find the resources to pay for the bill, with several public speakers proposing ideas and alternatives.

Proposals included removing discounts for students and seniors to fund

it, keeping express fares, or raising the price of a regular adult pass. The bottom line was to be able to fund the low-income pass, something’s got to give, and there wasn’t an easy solution.

Still, many speakers spoke in support of the city buckling down to find a way to fund it if the province does not.

“You are making it impossible for them to conduct a real life,” said speaker Heather Stetcher, of the lack of a low-income transit pass. “Transit is not a social service, transit is a vital service.”

OC Transpo does offer a discounted pass to those who receive Ontario disability support payments.

Orléans’ Miranda Gray said that OC Transpo has to improve the user experience for those paying for full-priced, adult passes, in order to gain the ridership

and profits needed.

“We can’t possibility fund more for our users who don’t have the money, unless we have these people at the top,” she said. “Until we improve the customer experience, we can’t do things for the users who need it the most… the experience has got much worse during construction.”

OC Transpo has seen a decline in transit ridership that’s similar to declines in major cities across Canada.

There was a fair change that did make a group happy: the removal of the additional fee to use Para Transpo.

Stetcher said she applauded staff for making the system more accessible for those who rely on Para Transpo.

The staff ’s plan – without a low income pass – was approved at commission, but the city plans to ask the

Specializing in free play good for our children

A

s a parent, I always find it a tricky balance to encourage my children’s extracurricular activities, while maintaining enough free time in their schedules – and mine.

The kids have a wide variety of interests and abundant energy. It’s often easier to sign them up, drop them off and let somebody else organize and channel that energy for a few hours, especially on long summer evenings.

But increasingly research suggests the key to mastering sport in a creative and talented way is to let kids play and engage in a variety of activities. Even more impor-

The latest to support this comes from U.S. consulting firm Leever Partners.

Researchers surveyed 127 of elite alpine ski racers from around the world to try to determine what contributed to their greatness. The research found that support of family and friends, proximity to mountains, and starting early were common keys to success

for skiers.

But the research contained a few surprises as well.

Although 77 per cent of respondents were skiing by age three, for example, the majority claimed they didn’t specialize in alpine ski racing until they were 19 or older.

Three quarters of respondents played three or more sports until the age of 12, and nearly half continued to play multiple sports even after choosing to specialize in ski racing in their late teens.

Perhaps most telling, when asked “what percentage of all your sports time as a child was unorganized or ‘free play,’ 71 per cent said half of their time was spent in unstructured play.

In fact, the more hands-off parents and adults are, the more we can give the kids a taste of structure and team play and then let them get on with it, the better.

I remember my middle child’s interest in soccer

wavering a few years ago. I was disappointed because it’s a sport I love and I thought he had a natural affinity for it. Admittedly, I was probably pushing him too hard, signing him up for every camp and workshop around, when all he really wanted to do was play the game.

Fortunately, the 2014 FIFA World Cup did a lot to inspire him to keep at it, particularly the ads showing kids in Brazil using anything they could find – rolled up newspaper, a piece of fruit – to practice soccer tricks in the street. No surprise that Brazil breeds some of the top soccer players in the world. CBC ensured my child recognized that becoming a top footballer wasn’t about access to money, playing competitive sports early or having the best equipment, but just playing with the ball whenever you have a chance. practicing

He took it to heart. I’ve never taken the time to calculate it, but I would guess

my son spends multiple hours per week every spring and summer practicing his soccer tricks in the side yard, once in a while engaging his brother to play net between trees so he can hone his kick. He plays on a recreational team a couple evenings a week, but while some parents are paying their kids to score points (yes, this happens), my son is intrinsically motivated to play his best every time because he loves the game.

I don’t anticipate my kids will become elite athletes or career musicians, but I want them to approach their hobbies with a love that will contribute to lifelong interest and creativity. The best way for them to lose interest, particularly as young adolescents, is to push them to eat, sleep and breathe one particular organized sport.

There is much to suggest that parents who push their kids to specialize too early may actually cause their kids to burnout and hate sports as teens, leading them to quit altogether. Let’s face it —nobody wants that.

Ailing MP rises to the occasion

E

very time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger is seen in public these days it is a shocking sight.

The deterioration to his body has been exceedingly swift since he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shortly after last fall’s federal election. But that doesn’t mean that Belanger can’t still get things done.

On June 15, Belanger’s long-time effort to have the words changed in Canada’s national anthem to be more gender neutral – from “True patriot love in all thy sons command” to “True patriot love in all of us command” — was approved by a vote in the House of Commons.

“Just two words – of us – would replace ‘thy sons’,” Belanger said in his spring newsletter.

“These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our national anthem to finally recognize their contribution.”

“Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,” Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15.

“I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready

for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.”

There were some MPs who voted against the change, primarily from the Conservative Party, but there were some Conservatives who supported the change as well. Opponents made two basic points: they don’t think that ‘thy sons’ excludes women, and thus there is no need for gender neutral language, and you shouldn’t mess with the wording of the anthem as a matter of principle.

What trumps those arguments against making a change is the fact that ‘thy sons’ was not originally in the anthem either. Those words were added during the First World War. If the anthem could be changed in the past, it is not a valid argument now to say the original words are sacred when they are not the original words at all. Belanger is clearly fighting for his life these days. In this fight, though, he also clearly emerged victorious, and he should be proud of that victory.

Never underestimate your local talent

T

he festival season begins this week in Ottawa with the jazz festival, a welcome beginning to the summer.

Bluesfest and others will follow.

While music aficionados will debate, as they always do, aspects of the festival line-ups, no one will dispute the joys of hearing live music, especially when it is performed outdoors.

For performers of all types of music the festival season brings mixed emotions.

On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing and hearing some of the best Canadian and international singers and instrumentalists perform in front of large crowds.

On the other hand, the festival season raises, for local performers, the question of where those crowds are in the off-season.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The festival season demonstrates that people in Ottawa and the surrounding area love music and will turn out to see it performed live — even, I would venture to guess, braving a chewedup downtown to get there.

The audiences are out there, for sure. The question is what happens to them in the months when there are no festivals on. Aside from big concerts by international stars, all types of music are starved for audiences.

This may have something to do with the fact that local musicians are local, never mind that many are of international

quality. In the old expression, an expert is someone from out of town, and that may apply equally to performers.

But Ottawans will still turn out for local performers under certain circumstances.

Last week, the jazz festival held something called a 24-Hour Jazz Ramble featuring local performers at the Record Centre in Hintonburg. (Disclosure: I was, briefly, one of them.) The place was packed and audiences spilled out onto the street, particularly in the evening. True, it was a special event, well-promoted in local media, it was a warm and pleasant night, and various prizes were on offer. But still, it did seem to demonstrate that the potential for support of local performers exists. The trick is to unlock that potential, to get the people out supporting the arts when there is

no festival, no special event, no big-name star from out of town.

The obstacles are formidable, here as elsewhere. There is much to keep to people at home. The Internet is infinitely amusing.

TV screens have become large and the range of viewing choices has expanded substantially. Both children and adults participate in sports.

Plus, people are busy at work, tired when they get home, disinclined to go out, particularly when the weather is cold.

Under the proper circumstances, you can get them out of the house.

The trick is to create more of those circumstances. Promoters and club owners need to be more creative and more energetic in informing the public about what they are presenting. Right now, many club owners are entirely passive, leaving it to the performers to promote themselves.

In addition, local media need to pay more attention to local

performers.

It’s a demonstrated fact that a good plug on, say, CBC’s All in a Day, can bring crowds for local performers. For all local media, a little less focus on Hollywood celebrities and a little more on the artists in our community might have a positive impact.

An evening with Bryan Murray raises over $100,000 for the Ottawa Hospital Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Bryan Murray did the math. His National Hockey League career has spanned over 34 years. There were 16 years of teaching and coaching before that, 11 houses, five NHL teams (Washington, Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and Ottawa).

And he was fired “only” three times.

An Evening with Bryan Murray on June 15 at the Canadian Tire Centre drew more than 400 guests. The ice rink was transformed to look more like a ballroom, as the event was meant to be a tribute to Murray’s career as head coach and general manager in the NHL. Murray has now taken on a senior advisory role with the Ottawa Senators.

It was more than that though; the night brought in over $100,000 for cancer care and research at the Ottawa Hospital. The evening was a partnership with the Ottawa Senators organization and the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

“The hospital is creating a molecular onSCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND cology diagnostics lab. Did I get that right?”

terviewer throughout the evening. He gave credit to Murray for launching the career of Kyle Turris, who was traded to the Senators from Phoenix and has taken on a leadership role, wears the A on his jersey and is a number one centre for the team. It was a sentiment that Turris did not dispute.

“I’m forever thankful to Bryan to giving this opportunity and the opportunity I had since I’ve been here, and hopefully grow into more,” said Turris.

Recently retired Sens player Chris Phillips remembered meeting Murray during his peewee days in Fort McMurray, Alta. His coach at the time knew Murray, and they all travelled south to see an Edmonton Oilers game.

“I had the chance to meet Bryan when I was 10 years old,” said Phillips. “I didn’t realize how my life will go. To make the NHL and to play under Bryan made it that more special.”

Other guests included Brent Flair, assistant general manager of the Minnesota Wild, who started his learning curve with Murray during the Florida Panthers years.

Chris Neil will celebrate 1,000 games this coming season with the Senators and gave credit to Murray, as a big part of why he’s able to do that.

Daniel Alfredsson – the long-serving captain of the Senators – has made the shift to the front office. He recently signed on for another year with the Senators and will serve as a senior adviser. He said he didn’t know much of Murray until he arrived in Ottawa.

“It’s great evening in a couple ways; one recognizing Bryan’s contribution to hockey and also for his courage for speaking openly about his cancer,” said Alfredsson. “I think it’s very hard to do. I can only imagine but it’s also going to help a lot of people and make awareness for sure, so people get tested and try to prevent if you can. It’s a powerful message.”

Alfredsson is also one of the few players still with the organization who dealt with Murray when he was in the head coach and general manager roles. Alfredsson has come to learn a lot.

“You deal with him a lot more when he was a coach. For me as a player, and as a captain, I dealt with him a lot,” he said. “I thought Bryan was an outstanding coach, probably the best one I ever had and I missed him as a coach when he became the GM. Obviously, I have more of a relationship now ... when I retired and began working in the office side. His approach and his knowledge for the game, I find I can relate to and value it a lot.”

AUCTION

To focus on the fact that the event was intended to be a gathering and not a gala – a homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie was made by one of Murray’s sisters, Darleen Murphy. In the live auction, which included unique items like a charter trip to an out-of-town Senators game and watching a game from Senators GM Pierre Dorian’s suite, the pie proved to be a standout.

Originally, there was only one pie up for grabs and incredibly the bids reached the $2,000 mark. It was bought by Ottawa Senator fan Dan Greenberg. It didn’t end there. Alfredsson was willing to match the $2,000 price if another pie was baked, as did Gary Zed of Ernst & Young.

Murphy said she would, and $6,000 was raised from three homemade pies.

HOT STOVE

Another interesting aspect of the evening was a Hot Stove segment, moderated

by Wilson. Murray shared his thoughts with guests, while they gave their opinions. This included former Senator Chris Kelly, and Murray said the day Kelly left for Boston and Mike Fisher was traded to Nashville turned out to be one of the toughest days in his career.

David Poile of the Nashville Predators was first hired as general manager of the Washington Capitals in 1982, when Murray was the head coach. He could have replaced Murray right away, but he didn’t and he said he was glad about that. The feeling was mutual as Murray learned a lot from Poile.

New Sens GM Pierre Dorion worked with Murray for the past nine years and knows he has big shoes to fill and shared Murray’s thoughts about referees. Chuck Fletcher, the GM of the Minnesota Wild was with Murray in the early days of the Florida Panthers. Fletcher’s still impressed that the team made it to the Stan-

ley Cup final in only the Panthers third year of existence.

Alfredsson also touched upon Murray’s plans if players were caught with sticks that may have not been legal, which would have involved firing the trainer.

It was just a sampling of what they discussed.

Although Murray has not been behind a bench for quite some time, he still had some thoughts about coaching in the NHL today.

“I really don’t think hockey has changed,” he said. “It’s a fast game now; a chip and chase game and the ability to get the puck out of your own end means you have to practise it daily. You have to pass the puck in our game today and be willing to go to the net and take the odd bump on the way or give out the odd bump on the way.”

Barbara Crook and Greenberg thanked Murray on behalf of the fans. Cyril Leeder, president of the Ottawa Senators was one of the last speakers. He welcomed the opportunity to thank Murray for what he has done with the Senators and also his public message about cancer prevention.

“I had not done so until your public plea,” said Leeder said of getting regular checkups.

Murray singled out many people, including his wife Geri, his daughters Heide and Brittany, son-in-law Don and his grandchildren Emma and Addie. He noted his hometown of Shawville, Que., his parents and his nine supportive siblings and many people he has met while in the NHL, and those he has worked with

as part of the Senators.

“The Senators organization highlight was (the Stanley Cup Final) in 2007. It was a real opportunity to win; a thrilling time and an emotional time,” he said.

While the spotlight was on Murray for the majority of the night, he made sure to turn the attention to what everything was all about.

“I wanted to remember the real reason we are here tonight. It’s not about Bryan Murray and shouldn’t be about Bryan Murray. It’s for the Ottawa Hospital. It’s to help them.”

City Councillor, Kanata north FIRES – Last week two major fires resulted in more than 10 families in Kanata North having to seek alternative accommodation. On Thursday a town home on Inverary was destroyed and several neighbouring units damaged. On Sunday four units in an 8 unit complex on Campeau Drive were severely damaged and residents of all 8 units had to leave as hydro and gas were cut and minor damage sustained. Fire safety is very important. Check all smoke alarms to ensure they are working, have an escape plan, keep barbeques away from any building, don’t overload electric circuits and review fire safety information on Ottawa.ca. Fortunately, no one was hurt in these fires- but personal possessions were lost. I spoke to firefighters and police at both fires to thank them for their fast response which kept a serious fire from spreading.

KANATA CENTRUM & SIGNATURE CENTRE BIA – With support from local businesses I’ve undertaken to determine if there is an interest in forming a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for Kanata Centrum & Signature Centre. A BIA promotes and undertakes projects to strengthen a commercial area. Businesses in that area can contact my office for more information.

The city officially proclaimed June 14 as Men’s Mental Health Awareness Day in Ottawa, the third year the day has been recognized in the city.

And that is thanks to the efforts of Orléans resident Jean-François Claude.

Deputy mayor Bob Monette officially proclaimed the day while standing beside Claude, a resident of his own Orléans ward, in the mayor’s office at city hall.

“We were quite pleased to support (it) in any way we could,” said Monette, who added Claude is a good friend.

“Ottawa was the first one to do the proclamation,” Monette said.

Claude runs a online community called the Men’s Depression Education Network (D.E.N.) that supports men dealing with mental health issues. He started the site and his Twitter account after dealing with depression himself when he couldn’t find many resources dedicated to helping men.

He’s built up the online community that now reaches across Canada, and even has international members and followers.

Some of those online community members observed that the City of Ottawa has declared a men’s mental health awareness day and have since

asked their own cities to follow suit.

This year, the cities of Oshawa, Victoria and Vancouver are following in Ottawa’s footsteps by proclaiming a men’s mental health awareness day.

It will also be recognized in London, Ont., though that city doesn’t issue proclamations in the same way as Ottawa.

“It’s a little initiative that started in Ottawa and has spread its wings,” Claude said. “It can seem like a big mountain to climb, but I’m very grateful.”

Claude said the network has mostly grown through Twitter support and interactions.

It’s not only men that are joining and following either, but women who want to support the men in their lives who are looking for resources, or have lost a loved one.

“There are many women who have lost husbands, fathers, sons to suicide,” Claude said.

An estimated 840,000 men in Canada face depression, but can be less likely to admit they have a problem or ask for help. Men are four times more likely than women to die by suicide.

Dealing with mental health isn’t a “do it yourself” project, Claude said. Sometimes it means knowing when men need to call in a professional to deal with mental health issues.

Music In The Park

Home run elusive for Senators Karlsson and Turris Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson was frustrated.

He shouted and cursed and there wasn’t even a hockey puck in sight. He was instead taking swings at a baseball at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park on June 16.

It was said to be his first attempt at organized baseball.

Karlsson donned an Ottawa Champions jersey, while members of the Champions pitched and also offered tips and suggestions for the best possible swing.

Karlsson’s presence was the culmination of a bet set up back in January with teammate Kyle Turris, who was also taking some swings of his own.

The Senators were on a

West Coast trip when the pair made the bet.

The two happened to be watching baseball highlights in San Jose and Turris started telling a story about how he took batting practice in Phoenix, when he was playing with the Coyotes. Turris explained how difficult it turned out to be to a hit a piyched baseball.

Karlsson’s reply was simply – he didn’t believe Turris and

the bet was born from there.

Both hockey players were able to crack a few decent hits of balls pitched by Champions players, but there were also many they missed.

Between Karlsson and Turris, Karlsson came the closest to a home run, but ultimately lost the bet.

What exactly was the bet?

That remains between the two teammates.

On Sunday, July 24th, MPP Jack MacLaren invites you, your family, friends, and neighbours to join him from 2pm-4pm for Music in the Park. This community event is free for anyone to attend, and will be a live performance show by Low Mileage featuring Rick Leben at Meadowbreeze Park in Kanata.

Inspiring Friends Last week Ottawa lost a cherished member of the community when Brian Parsons lost his battle with ALS. Brian was a dear friend, a loving husband, and a devoted father who did so much to help others and their families touched by terminal illnesses. I was so proud of our community in Kanata-Carleton for continuing his work by walking with me on June 11th in the Walk for ALS. Despite the rain there was a great turnout as we joined others from across Ottawa, including Mauril Bélanger. Mauril is an inspiration and source of strength to all Canadians suffering from this terrible condition.

Canada 150 Projects On June 14th I was pleased to be a part of the announcement, on behalf of The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, that a Stanley Cup 125th Tribute will take place from March 15 to 18, 2017. This four-day event will celebrate the integral role hockey has played in shaping our country’s identity and the longstanding love and admiration Canadians have for our national treasure, the Stanley Cup. On June 16th I joined the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Mayor Jim Watson for the announcement of an additional $5 million for Ottawa 2017 projects to celebrate Canada`s 150 th anniversary.

Iftar on the Hill It was an honour to join my fellow MPs and members of the Muslim community for Iftar on June 15th. Ramadan reminds us to show appreciation for the countless blessings we enjoy and to put the needs of others before our own.

Votes The summer adjournment of the House on June 17th capped off a busy week of votes as our government continued its push to enact legislation that will benefit all Canadians.

I look forward to continuing to work for Kanata-Carleton and seeing many of you in the community.

Infrastructure I would like to express my thanks to Mayor Jim Watson and councillors Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson for their leadership in helping to move the LRT project ahead for Ottawa`s west end.

Colonel By student wins big with scholarship Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Hard work, perseverance and determination are all factors in getting a scholarship -- but the thing that really matters, says a recent recipient, is actually filling out the application.

“You can’t win if you don’t even try,” said Kika Otiono, a high school student from Colonel By Secondary School.

Kika recently won a $70,000 scholarship from TD Scholarships for Community Leadership.

The wannabe paediatric neurosurgeon now can breathe a sigh of relief over how she can actually pay for her dream — and so can her parents.

“When I started researching what I wanted to do and where I could go,

I sent the list to my dad who told me I would have to find a way to pay for it because my parents wouldn’t be able to do it all,” Kika said.

That’s when Kika began looking up scholarships.

It was as simple as a Google search, she said, and so she began bookmarking sites online and began the long process of applying to any scholarships she was eligible to apply.

The thing is, she added, she never thought she had a chance at winning the TD scholarship — or the handful of others she managed to snag. But she said she decided to try. And that, she said really is the most important part.

“I didn’t think I would win this, but my parents pushed me to try,” Kika

said. “If you are eligible, then just do it. Even if you don’t win, you really never loose, because you have this awesome essay about yourself. People always see the ones I won.

There are so many I didn’t get. So many I was too scared to try for.”

Executive director of TD Scholarships for Community Leadership Jane Thompson agrees, saying that at the end of the day, that is the way to get what you want.

Thompson said she sees about 2,500 applications a year for the scholarship from across Canada.

That number seems low, Kika said, adding she doesn’t think she’s anymore special than any other overachiever in high school.

Scholarship provides up to $17,500 a year Continued from page 15

“I was so nervous to apply, because there is so much you have to do and so much of yourself you have to put forward, but what if I didn’t?”

The scholarship requires applicants to show how they have demonstrated leadership in improving their communities.

Even though Kika might think she is no more special than any other, the Chapel Hill resident has done amazing things for her school, her schoolmates and diversity in this city Kika began volunteering for her school’s annual Black History Month showcase, and shortly after she became co-president of the organizing club to raise awareness of the struggles and successes of black Canadians. She expanded the group’s mandate to help students appreciate diversi-

ty and encouraged younger grades to get involved. As well, as youth editor of Black Ottawa Scene, Kika created a Youth in Action page for the online newsletter so black youth can share their experiences.

Thompson said she interviews 70 finalists in person and remembers Kika well.

“She is a lovely human being who has done some amazing things,” Thompson said.

One of 20 awarded with funding, Kika’s tuition will be covered up to $10,000 a year, as well as $7,500 for living expenses a year.

Kika plans on living with her parents and going to Carleton University, so she is hoping to bank a large portion of her scholarship to put towards her ultimate goal of going to Yale School of Medicine.

New mental health options available for Ottawans Nicola Hamer

Anyone following the news is likely aware Ontario is facing a mental health crisis, both in lack of services and in the time it takes to access available services, as well as the high cost of treatment.

So it is not surprising that a walk-in clinic for mental health counselling is an idea that has recently taken off.

Three years ago, counsellors at Jewish Family Services of Ottawa came up with the idea of opening the Walk-In Counselling Clinic.

They then co-ordinated with several family service agencies in order to offer these clinics across the greater Ottawa area: Family Services Ottawa, Catholic Family Services, North Renfrew Family Services and Support Services of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.

There were initially five locations in greater Ottawa area, but the idea caught

on quickly and three more urban locations were soon opened.

Since then, the Walk-In Counselling Clinic has far exceeded its expected target for clients served, as well as growth as a concept. They fill a small part of that huge hole in the provision of mental health services.

The concept behind the clinics can be compared to traditional medical walk-in clinics. They are open days, evenings and weekends.

Those seeking counselling can show up without an appointment or referral and see a professional counsellor for a 90-minute appointment.

And the service is absolutely free. Clients may be required to wait for their turn, but as clinic co-ordinator Mirjana Pobric, says: “The wait for help at our clinics is measured in minutes, not days or months.”

This means that those facing a crisis can talk to some-

one immediately. And even though clients cannot book appointments with any particular counsellor, they do have the option of coming back again and choosing to wait to see the same counsellor they saw previously for continuity of care. Further, there is no limit to how frequently someone can return to the clinic.

With the expansion of the number of walk-in clinics has also come an expansion in the number of languages in which help is offered.

Now, besides English and French, clients can find a counsellor to talk with them in Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic and Somali.

“Many of people still don’t realize a service like this is available,” says Pobric.

“It is important to get the word out about these clinics, so people know there is somewhere they can turn immediately, without concern for cost.”

Mary learns there’s always something to be done

S

itting on a straightback kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better.

It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times.

Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and pie crusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey

MARY COOK Memories were completely ignoring me and the long sighs.

Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.”

Without taking her eyes off the pie crusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths.

Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.”

Well, that wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with

nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul.

“Well?” Mother said. It was more of a command than a question.

I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard.

I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting

SCRATCH &

WIN

needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky.

My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon. After about 10 minutes, I was almost asleep in the chair.

This was more boring than having nothing to do!

Finally, I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well that I would never get back to the

knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the filled pies.

Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it.

She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels.

Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please?

I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.”

She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed

Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it.

For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.”

The show runs until 1:30 p.m.

The Canada Day Evening Show begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature all the artists from the noon show as well as a flypast by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.

Canadian Heritage is once again hosting the events, which will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau.

“I’m very pleased to be taking part in my first Canada Day as minister of Canadian heritage,” said the minister, Mélanie Joly.

“I invite you to join me in making the most of the many activities being offered in Canada’s Capital Region. I invite all Canadians to show their Canadian pride during the celebrations taking place in your part of the country.”

Festivities at Major’s Hill Park will feature a number of cultural performances, including Shawn Hook and Andie Duquette, as well there being displays and activities set up for all ages.

Canada Day 2016

Suburban parties continue to grow year by year barrhaven

The Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven is held at Clarke Fields.

Parking is limited. Pay special attention to the No Parking signs around the area and consider taking the shuttle from Ross’ Independent Grocer.

The schedule for 2016 includes: 10:30 a.m. to 10:40 p.m. Bus Shuttle between Ross’ Independent Grocer and Clarke Fields (only $1 per person!)

11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kids Zone Stage Shows, Multicultural Stage Shows 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kids Zone Activities & Games 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Food vendors 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Midway open Agenda for Canada Day - July 1, 2016 5 p.m. Speeches, Parade of flags, O Canada, Cake 5:30 to 10 p.m. Music (Main Stage): Rick Knowles, Renegade, Altr Ego 10 p.m. Fireworks Clarke Fields is a dog-free park and you may be subject to fines if you bring your pet.

According to the Canada Day in Barrhaven website, under their new and dynamic leadership, Canada Day in Barrhaven has morphed into a smaller version of the Canada Day activities held on the Hill every July 1.

The Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven Committee comprises a group of 14 members. The local businesses, community partners and grants from the City of Ottawa and Canadian Heritage contribute annually in excess of $85,000 to run the event with the fireworks display alone costing $15,000.

It takes several months of the year to carry out the planning, and since 2013, includes several days of a midway with many carnival rides and games.

Presently, there are three stages, Kidz Zone Stage, Multi-Cultural Stage and the Main Stage. In 2015 the event was incorporated as Canada Day in Barrhaven, has its own insurance and now receives tax benefits that go back to the event.

The modern event has continued to be family friendly, with a variety of food vendors, kids’ activities, multicultural shows, Big Bands on stage, an ATM on-site and the whole event is alcohol prohibited. You can take a shuttle bus from Ross’ Independent or come by bicycle and use our secure bike lock-up. Come out, bring your family and friends and have a great day celebrating our country’s birthday. kanata

Children are invited to pedal over to Pushman Park at 10 a.m. on Canada Day to decorate their bicycles in red and white for the community’s annual Canada Day Bike Parade, which has been held annually for almost a decade.

Organized by the South Keys Greenboro Community Association, the parade will once again be led by an Ottawa fire truck, depending on availability.

“The kids love the chance to climb on the fire truck and meeting the firefighters as well,” said Tara Lockhart, the association’s secretary and event coordinator.

New this year, an entertainer will bring smiles to young faces at the park following the parade.

“This year, we’re going to have an ultimate Canadian entertainer,” said Lockhart.

“A wacky character who performs dazzling acrobatic stilt-walking and juggling tricks.”

Participants are invited to bring non-perishable food items for the Pavilion Food Bank.

ed to spend July 1 paying tribute to one of Canada’s most iconic storybook characters during an Anne of Green Gables Canada Day Tea at Billings Estate National Historic Site.

The event, held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature a photo booth, music, games and a three-tier tea service.

The cost is $20 per person, and reservations are required by calling 613-2474830, ext.

221.

invited to gather at 8:30 p.m. when music will begin playing and glow bracelets and other novelty items, such as fibre optic glow hair barrettes and wands, will be sold for some glow-in-the-dark fun and to help offset the cost of the fireworks. At 9 p.m. two fire dancers will warm up the crowd.

Just like last year, the fun begins at the park earlier in the day at 10 a.m. and continues until 2 p.m.

Fun passes for kids ages three to 12 will be available for $10 each at the park and in advance of the event online.

The upcoming event, which usually draws about 2,000 people, will feature several returning favourites, including a cash barbecue, Canada Day cake which will be served around 1 p.m., face painting, and more.

As well, a parent-supervised and fenced-in toddler zone is also in the works “because it’s quite exhausting running after toddlers at an event,” said Gilbert, a mother of three.

Canada Day 2016

Go red and white in Stittsville for 2016 Canada Day 2016 in Stittsville once again offers lots of fun activities and entertainment, capped off with a gala fireworks display.

It all happens again this year on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, from 3 p.m. onwards on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend. There is no admission charge and the fun activities and entertainment, along with the fireworks are all free.

Take along a lawn chair, pick out a spot on the spacious grounds and celebrate Canada’s birthday listening to a variety of on-stage entertainment, chatting with friends and neighbours and enjoying the fireworks display at the end of the evening as dusk descends on the site.

There’s always an opening ceremony with local dignitaries such as the MP, the MPP and the city councillor on hand, capped off with the cutting of a Canada Day birthday cake.

Bill Martin, who has lots of experience organizing weekly open mic sessions at the Stittsville Legion, is assembling this year’s onstage entertainment, so you know that it will be enjoyable.

There will be lots of inflatable attractions for youngsters to enjoy and everyone, especially youngsters, love the glow sticks that are

handed out just before darkness falls. They fill the grounds with hundreds of bright lights, looking like elongated glow worms.

And there will be lots to eat at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria will be on hand with its pizza and other food offerings. And if this were not enough, Pong’s Poutine, that wellknown food wagon on Carp Road, will also be there with its poutine and other food products.

The Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus will be present as well, with frozen treats that will really hit the spot on what is hoped to be a sunny, warm day.

All of this is being organized again this year by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which gathers together the donations and funds required to stage the event, with costs this year totalling well over $20,000. It is the generosity of local businesses that make this all possible.

Many hands make for lighter work and the SVA welcomes volunteers from the community to help out on site, either setting up for the celebrations, helping to run the activities during the day or helping clean up after the event.

Anyone interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville should contact SVA volunteer co-

ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com.

These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville have become a tradition. They initially were held in the area south of the original arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), offering on-stage entertainment, activities and games and, of course, the windup fire-

works.

But construction of the second arena at the GRC, now known as the Matt Bradley Arena, eliminated much of the space used for these Canada Day activities and so the celebrations were moved to the front of Sacred Heart High School adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail.

These Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at Sacred Heart

High School are not the only Canada Day activity going on in Stittsville on Canada Day, July 1.

There’s also the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors which takes place at Ottawa Fire Service Station No. 81 on Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

This is a free event for seniors in Stittsville but those attending must register with the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

Starting at 8 a.m., the breakfast is always a sea of red as virtually everyone who attends wears something red for the event.

Stittsville’s firefighters are on hand to serve those at the breakfast.

These Canada Day breakfasts for seniors go back to the 1980’s when then-Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg launched the initiative.

The breakfast would rotate on a yearly basis, one year being held in Richmond and the next year being held in Stittsville.

With the amalgamation to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001, this Canada Day breakfast became a Canada Day fixture in Stittsville, hosted by the ward councillor and held in the bays at the Stittsville fire hall on Stittsville Main Street.

Orléans

Canada Day this year is going to be a lot different in

Orléans, as organizers announced in January that the Greater Orléans Canada Day celebration had been cancelled.

Organizers cited financial and weather-related difficulties among the reasons for the cancellation of the event that was held for the past 11 years.

“The real frustration is the financial stress that we’ve been under the last few years that’s been caused by weather,” said board member Fred Sherwin at the time of the cancellation.

CUMBerlanD

While Orléans won’t be throwing a Canada Day bash this year, Cumberland’s Baitun Naseer Mosque is hosting a public event and barbecue that all are welcome to attend.

Children’s activities start at 7 p.m., with a flag hoisting and national anthem at 8:40 p.m. There will also be guest speakers as well as cake.

The barbecue starts at 7:30 p.m.

The mosque is at 2620 Market St., Cumberland.

ANNUAL MADE IN CANADA MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Giganotosaurus is on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature from June 11 to Sept. 5 as part of the museum’s Ultimate Dinosaurs.

Ultimate Dinosaurs take over nature museum Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Young or old, if you love dinosaurs make your way to the Canadian Museum of Nature this summer.

The museum opened its latest exhibition, Ultimate Dinosaurs, that features dinosaurs from the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana.

The show features 16 fully-articulated skeletons and explores the formation of Gondwana, which took place roughly 145 million years ago, and how the creatures on this supercontinent evolved there in isolation – there is even one dinosaur that shows evidence of being a cannibal – and eventually how this supercontinent eventually split into South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia and Antarctica.

Even though the museum already has one of the best dinosaur collections — most of their skeletons are complete or near complete — its scientists say it’s hard to pass up this travelling exhibition that has a species that is even bigger than a Tyrannosaurus rex.

“This showcases dinosaurs we don’t get to see in North America,” said museum palaeontologist Jordan Mallon.

A big kid himself, Mallon admits there is some pretty cool dinosaurs in the exhibit he was excited to see.

“Some of them are just so different and weird to us, they are bigger and stranger,” he added. “I’m as excited as the kids are about this.”

The biggest part of the show is of course Giganotosaurus — no, that really is it’s name — he’s huge

— larger than T-Rex, at 12 metres long, this dinosaur is thought to be the largest land predator ever to have lived.

Coming from Argentina, Giganotosaurus lived about 110 million years ago. More than 80 per cent of all of its bones have been found – which means this guy is a sight to see – even if Mallon truly believes T-Rex’s bone-crushing jaw would devour him in a fight.

And what is the largest dinosaur that may have lived?

Well, that guy is too big for the exhibition hall, but there is the opportunity to have some sort of an idea as a portion of Futalognkosaurus’ three-metre tall skeletal leg is on display. Futalognkosaurus is a giant long-necked sauropod (lizard-footed) dinosaur that stretched 110 feet long and is believed to have weighed as much as 10 elephants.

The Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit opened on June 11 and runs until Sept. 5.

Aside from the impressive skeletons, which do look like they could come to life, the exhibit offers an interactive experience like no other.

How many of us have desired to step over the glass barrier to look directly up the dinosaur’s ribcage for a better view — well with interactive iPads that is exactly what you can do as museum goers can check out the dinosaur in the flesh with the interactive option that allows you to get a feel for how massive some of these guys were.

Bronze casts, activity stations, giant murals make up the rest of this exhibition.

To check out the exhibit, a surcharge does apply, $10 for adults, $7 for children three to 17 years old and seniors.

New clinic at Royal offers quick access to alcohol withdrawal mdelaire@metroland.com

The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre is now home to a pilot project designed to deliver swift access to medically supported alcohol withdrawal until March 2018.

The Alcohol Medical Intervention Clinic on Carling Avenue provides urgent follow-up services for people with potentially life-threatening alcohol problems who have been referred by the Ottawa Hospital’s emergency department.

“This program is important for two reasons.

First, it will improve access to addiction services for people in our region,” said Chantale LeClerc in a news release. LeClerc is CEO of the Champlain LHIN, the umbrella organization that co-ordinates health care in eastern Ontario.

“Second, it will help prevent emergency room visits and hospital admissions and readmissions.

There is a real demand for this type of program in

Champlain.”

The clinic launched on May 26 and is staffed by two nurses, a social worker and addiction medicine doctors from the Royal’s substance use and concurrent disorders program.

It will receive $430,000 in funding from the Champlain LHIN each of its two years.

Clinic staff assess patients and may prescribe medication for alcohol withdrawal management or anti-craving medication.

For patients with severe alcohol addiction, withdrawal can be potentially life threatening, with possible symptoms including seizures, delirium, and elevated blood pressure and heart rate.

In these types of cases, the withdrawal process can be eased by medication under medical supervision, a Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre news release said.

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

My business partner and I run an incorporated small business.

We have a great working relationship but we’ve been told that we should have a shareholders agreement for our corporation.

What is a shareholders agreement and why do we need one?

The second shareholder must select one of the options.

A buy-sell is designed to be fair by forcing the shareholder who exercises the buy/sell right to be reasonable in setting the price since they do not know if they will be a buyer or a seller.

A shareholders agreement is a contract between two or more shareholders of a corporation. The contract creates binding rights, duties and obligations for the shareholders relating to the corporation and supplements existing provisions of the corporation’s constating documents and governing corporate statute.

This is but one of many matters that may be addressed in a shareholders agreement. Management and control, work and effort requirements, survivorship, succession, share transfer provisions, and confidentiality obligations may all be addressed. Rarely are two shareholders agreements the same, as the circumstances and risks each is intended to address are unique. The very process of drafting a shareholders agreement is often useful in itself, engaging shareholders to express their expectations and thus facilitating the avoidance of misunderstandings that may lead to dispute.

While there is no legal requirement to have a shareholders agreement it is a powerful tool for addressing matters that are not already provided for by statute. For example, there are limited statutory provisions prescribing how disputes between shareholders may be resolved. A well-drafted shareholders agreement can address disputes using various contractual provisions that can bring an end to the shareholders relationship with certainty. An example of such a contractual provision is a shotgun buy-sell covenant. A shotgun buy-sell covenant allows one shareholder to give a second shareholder an option to either buy all the shares or sell all the shares at a price fixed by the shareholder initiating the process.

A lawyer with experience in commercial and corporate matters can guide you through the crafting of a shareholders agreement that is right for your business.

Ice Jets help out Fort McMurray Year’s surplus donated Staff

The Kanata Ice Jets novice B team became winners this hockey season. They were the houseleague B Division champions, said manager Jean Angus.

The big win let the team spread some of that goodwill out West. The team had a budget surplus and on June 12, donated $950 to the Canadian Red Cross and the Alberta wildfire efforts.

“This was our head coach’s idea, Jesse Dean,” said Angus. “This is something that hits very close to him as he and his wife and three kids lost all their possessions in a fire in Bridlewood in 2014. They were displaced, rebuilt and just returned to their house in November 2015.

“The support of community meant so much to them and they try and pay it back whenever and where ever they can.”

All the parents were also on board with the decision.

Jenn Miller signs the Diabetes Charter for Canada at the Canadian Diabetes Association on June 6 -- a charter that outlines expectations and obligations that are important to people living with diabetes. Miller arrived in Ottawa after walking 758 kilometres from London, Ont. in an effort to raise awareness for the disease.

London mother walks to Ottawa to raise awareness for diabetes Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Imagine having to wake up your daughters every hour, or half hour throughout the night just to make sure they will not slip into a coma.

Would it make you want to walk from London Ont. to Ottawa to speak to the Health Minister about it?

Well, for Jenn Miller that was exactly what she decided to do and on June 6 she finally made it to the

Canadian Diabetes Association at 45 Montreal Rd. Both Miller’s daughters, Haylee, 13, and Lilee, 11, have Type 1 diabetes – a disease in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin.

Without insulin, glucose builds up in the body’s blood instead of being used for energy – in short carbs are your enemy.

“At first I had no clue what diabetes was,” Miller said.

Miller said she took her oldest, Haylee to see the doctor when she

was eight, to address her health issues. “They told us her glucose was really high, and I thought she would get a shot,” Miller recalls.

Miller said she thought there was a diabetes shot and they would go home – instead they were told to go to emergency where they were explained that Haylee had Type 1 and that most likely she would need a pump to help administer rapidacting insulin.

Cost to manage diabetes can be hard to cover for low income families Continued from page 43

Lilee was diagnosed when she was 10 years-old and now takes daily injections of insulin to manage her glucose levels.

Costs for people vary across Canada, but according to the Canadian Diabetes Association it’s particularly difficult for lower-income earners.

Depending on income level ($20,000, $40,000, $80,000) the range of outof-pocket cost for Type 1 using a pump is between $543 to $1,657. For multiple daily injections, in Ontario out of pocket cost ranges from $1,061 to $2,344.

Miller’s two children receive Ontario Disability Support Program funding to help supplement the costs associated with the disease. “It covers a lot but not all,� Miller said, adding both her and the girls father, Tom Lentz do not have health insurance and on top of the equipment that is covered, the girls get money from the government to help supple-

Daily life with two daughters diagnosed with diabetes is not easy, but Lentz said Miller and himself co-parent well to ensure the girls are healthy and happy, and that does include waking them up in the middle of the night to check their glucose levels. “Sometimes you have to feed them a snack in the middle of the night because they are too low,� Miller said. “At one point I began to worry that I was giving them sugar in the middle of the night and they could get cavities, but then I decided to just fight one battle.�

For Team Chinatown Showboat, it’s less about what happens on the water during the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival and more about what happens year-round on land.

The team of paddlers, made up of residents from south Ottawa, Nepean and west Ottawa, have generated $130,000 since their inaugural year on the water in 2002.

This year, the team has so far raised more than $12,000 towards its $20,000 goal

Paddlers with Chinatown Showboat prepare to push off from the dock at the Rideau Canoe Club on June 15, prior to their Rideau River practice. The enthusiastic fundraisers will once again be taking part in the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. in support of the festival’s many Ottawa-based charities.

“It’s contagious. Once you get into this, you can’t walk

Fundraising requires set of hands, warm soul Continued from page 46

“It becomes part of your blood. It’s a real sense of giving. You find yourself surrounded by really good people who want to give back.”

The team has been practising for the June 24 to 26 races at Mooney’s Bay every Tuesday night over the past month. For the upcoming festival, they will be dressing as characters from Star Wars.

Martin will be dressed as Princess Leia Organa. He’s good-naturedly dressed as many well-known female television and film characters over the years. The first year, he paddled as Ginger from Gilligan’s Island.

“We decided we wanted a team that was not too serious about racing, but more serious about fundraising and having fun,” said Martin.

“That set the model.”

they also frequently welcome new members and help them with fundraising initiatives. Each must raise

a minimum $250 annually.

“We work with paddlers to help them achieve that,” Martin said, adding that longtime members help empower the newer paddlers to give back to the community.

“It implies a one-way street, but it’s not. It’s very much a circle. We give to our community,” he said.

They support one another, pitching in to help with different events, ranging from car washes and pub nights to a fundraising Chinese New Year dinner every January in Chinatown.

They donate proceeds to Chinatown charities and in return the Chinatown BIA covers the team’s festival registration fees.

The team also volunteers with Ottawa’s Helping With Furniture, which gives furniture and other supplies to people in need.

The paddlers also dress up as zodiac animals during the annual Chinese New Year parade.

“You need to actually produce a set of hands, a warm soul when it comes to fundraising,” Martin said of the team effort. “We expect people to be on the ground as well.”

Last year, Chinatown Showboat raised about $24,000 for the dragon boat festival’s chosen charities.

“That’s what keeps us going year round: what do you do the other 11 months of the year?” he said. “We keep the fundraising going and we have a lot of fun with it.”

To learn more about Team Chinatown Showboat, visit teamshowboat. org.

The Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival will be held on the Rideau River and on the shore at Mooney’s Bay Park.

The entertainment gets underway on June 23 and continues until June 26.

Memory of former Sens coach lives on at newly renamed Roger Neilson House Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Julie Drury, overcome with emotion and with tears filling her eyes, shared a glimpse of the love her eight-year-old daughter had for life.

Little Kate passed away last November at home after a complication following a bone marrow transplant to treat her rare form of mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that has no cure.

“She was comfortable, her pain was managed and she was home in her own bed where she wanted to be,” Drury, a Westboro resident, said, fighting back tears during an anniversary celebration at Roger’s House on June 16. “And this was only possible thanks to the support of Roger’s House and Dr. (Bill) Splinter and the invaluable services they provide to families like ours.”

Though Kate felt unwell for much of her young life, her spirit and love of life “were amazing,” Drury said.

“And if I listen closely, when we’re all quiet as we stand here, I can hear her giggling as she runs around the hallways of Roger’s House.”

Her emotional words cut to the ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND heart of what Ottawa’s pediatric Westboro’s Julie Drury speaks about the care her daughter, Kate, received at Roger Neilson House before she passed away six months ago. Holdpalliative and respite care centre has ing a framed photograph of Kate is Chris Neil, Ottawa Senators forward. Neil and his wife, Caitlin, centre, are honourary board chairs of the hosbeen about for the past decade. pice. Drury was invited to speak during the 10th anniversary of Roger’s House, which was renamed Roger Neilson House during the occasion.

Hospice named for Roger Neilson was announced in 2003 Continued from page 49

The hospice was named for Roger Neilson, a former Ottawa Senators assistant coach and longtime NHL coach, who was known for his innovation in coaching, his humour, generosity, humanity and support for and love of kids.

He passed away from cancer in 2003, the same year it was announced that Roger’s House would be built.

Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil played for Neilson.

“What he stood for – this is what it’s all about,” Neil said following Drury’s poignant remarks.

NEW NAME, FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The anniversary event also featured a milestone moment when Cyril Leeder, president of the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club, announced that the eight-bed hospice, located next door to CHEO, has been renamed Roger Neilson House.

“It’s kind of human nature that as time passes on, that the focus here should be the children and the youth and the families passing through the doors of Roger’s House, and less ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND about Roger Neilson,” said Leeder.

But it would be a shame that if 20 years from now people didn’t know what Roger’s House really meant,” he said, noting that the anniversary celebration fell on what would have been Neilson’s 82nd birthday.

The nameplate now features Neilson’s signature and the Ottawa Senators logo to cement the relationship between the centre and the hockey club, Leeder said.

tive director of the hospice.

As one of only six pediatric residential hospices in Canada, it is staffed by doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists and support staff, and relies on volunteers, all of whom assist children and youth who are medically fragile and are at significant risk of dying before adulthood.

More than 3,000 children and youth from Ontario, western Quebec and Nunavut have been admitted to Roger Neilson House since it opened.

Ninety-five per cent of its patients are referred by CHEO. GROWING NEED

“The need, however, for our services is growing,” Wright said. “In the past two years referrals for pediatric palliative care have increased by 40 per cent.”

To meet that demand, the hospice has been offering a range of new services and expanded programs, such as bereavement support as well as a support program for patient siblings, she said.

The endowment announcement came on the heels of a funding commitment made by the provincial government a few days before on June 10.

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who also attended the anniversary event, had announced that the Liberals are committing more than $179,200 towards Roger Neilson House in support of palliative and end-of-life-care services.

COMMUNITY news

The Ottawa Senators Foundation, which has been providing all of the non-governmental funding to the house since its inception, also announced a $2.2-million donation for the hospice’s endowment fund.

The principle will never be spent and the interest generated will help with the hospice and respite care centre’s urgent needs every year, said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation.

Together, the Sens Foundation and the CHEO Foundation are partnering to raise $3.3 million to meet a $10-million goal for the endowment fund. Once met, it will help cover the facility’s ongoing operating and capital costs.

“We just can’t say thank you enough,” Keohane said of the Sens’ long-term assistance.

Such “unwavering support” allows the hospice team to work toward its mission, and to extend its reach, said Megan Wright, execu-

If one downtown organization gets it’s way, homelessness in the city will be a thing of the past.

Options Bytown has been working with the homeless for more than 27 years, helping nearly 900 people get out of shelters and into permanent housing over the years.

The organization has partnered with the city over the past year for the city’s new Housing First Case Management services, and since then it has seen a significant number of homeless residents placed in permanent housing.

“To date we have housed 80 people this year,” said executive director Lorraine Bentley.

Bentley said the organization has had success

in finding the homeless forever homes over the years, but the new partnership with the city has made what it has been doing for years a little easier to achieve.

‘Every day we do this, we are dedicated.

Every day we see results.’

OPTIONS BYTOWN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LORRAINE BENTLEY

Ottawa city council approved a 10-year, $14-million plan to help end homelessness in September 2013. Bentley said the city wanted to house 250 perpetual shelter

visitors in two years.

“Every day we do this, we are dedicated. Every day we see results,” she said.

Options Bytown owns buildings where it places clients as well as working with Ottawa Community Housing and landlords across the city to find clients affordable housing.

But getting a roof over their heads, Bentley adds, isn’t the only point — the other is to ensure that roof stays there.

“We work on all the issues that have made someone homeless, we also offer on-site supports,” she said.

The not-for-profit organization held its annual general meeting on June 16, sharing news of its recent success.

Options Bytown houses 80 clients in forever homes Continued from page 52

Operating on a budget made possible because of funding from all three levels of government, Bentley said the organization still has to raise money in order to offer quality of life to its clients.

“The government funding keeps the lights on, funds the staff. If we want things like televisions or small programming services, we have to fundraise for that,” she said.

Bentley said Options Bytown will be holding a fundraiser at Whole Foods in the Glebe on June 25, called Donate Your Dime. “(For) shoppers who opt to use their own bags, or a cloth whole foods bag, the store will donate 10 cents per bag to us,” Bentley explained.

Donate Your Dime is

one of the store’s ways of giving back to the community, Bentley said. Customers have the choice to accept their cash refund, or donate the cash back to the store’s chosen non-profit organization.

Options Bytown will be exchanging customers’ bags with cloth ones in an effort to receive the 10 cent credit customers receive during the event.

Aside from the Whole Foods event, there will be two fundraising efforts held in the Byword Market this summer, on July 9 and July 16, where a booth will be set up and Bentley said the organization will be handing out information about what it is and what it does.

In October, it will partner with the Ottawa Little Theatre to sell tickets to the theatre’s Dial M for Murder production. All pro-

ceeds, Bentley said, will go to Options Bytown.

‘The government funding keeps the lights on, funds the staff. If we want things like televisions or small programming services, we have to fundraise for that.’

OPTIONS BYTOWN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LORRAINE BENTLEY

In addition to fundraising efforts, Bentley said the organization accepts donations through its website at optionsbytown.com.

2016 Report to the Community

Last year, QCH was one of 18 Ontario hospitals chosen by Health Quality Ontario to take part in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program – or NSQIP. The goal is to ensure the very best care using evidence-based guidelines. Other hospitals involved in this voluntary program have reported fewer complications, improved care and even shorter hospitals stays.

Safer Surgery

Patient outcomes are reviewed during their stay and once at home to look for unusual occurrences or complications. That data is then compared to 800 hospitals internationally to allow us to see how we are doing. From there, we can drill down and identify any opportunities for improvement.

It’s all part of our focus on safety and quality. When things don’t go as planned, we want to understand and learn. This will lead to better care and healthier patients.

Describe a pill by its colour, size and shape and chances are that our pharmacy team can tell you the name of the drug. They are the experts and they can be found throughout the hospital helping keep our patients safe.

At QCH, we have a formal process called medication reconciliation to ensure that each patient’s medications are reviewed at admission and discharge, as well as at each transition point in-between. It’s all about communication.

Pharmacy technicians work with patients, families and care providers to develop the initial medication history that stays with the patient throughout their stay.

Any discrepancies can be quickly identified and corrected. And when the patient goes home, the list is reviewed again to ensure each patient is informed and prepared.

We want to reduce the number of medication errors and adverse drug reactions – both in the hospital and at home.

Q

uality and Safety. Two simple words that mean so much. At Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH), it’s a commitment to ensuring every patient experience is the best it can be. It means staying on top of the latest leading-edge practices. And it requires everyone at QCH to be part of one team caring for our patients and families.

We want to be the hospital of choice, recognized for our exemplary patient care, people and performance in an environment of innovation and strategic partnerships.

In this year’s Report to the Community, we’re pleased to share some of our latest quality and safety initiatives. It’s our top priority– every day.

exemplary Care

Delivering the best quality is a whole hospital effort. We all want to do the best we can.

We couldn’t be prouder! This year, QCH received the highest award possible from Accreditation Canada Accreditation with Exemplary Standing.

Every four years, QCH is evaluated through Accreditation Canada’s voluntary process. An onsite review looks at everything from admission and discharge processes to infection control rates.

The findings evaluate QCH’s performance against international standards of excellence. It’s an opportunity to validate how we do things and look for ways that we can do them better. Staff, physicians,

volunteers, Board members, patients and community members are involved.

Our overall compliance rating was 99% and we met every one of the required organizational practices. The results reflect our team’s commitment to safe and high quality care.

But it doesn’t stop there. Each year, QCH develops a Quality Improvement Plan to continually monitor our work. Accreditation is all about improving quality, reducing risk, and strengthening accountability. And we’re all for that!

As we eagerly await our first patient on the ACE Unit later this year, we continue to work with the community to raise the remaining funds needed to fully prepare the unit with specialized geriatric equipment and furnishings. Thank you to our ACE Ambassadors.

Thanks to your generosity, we have advanced care for all ages at Queensway Carleton Hospital.

In fact, in 2015, our community helped us raise over $4.7 million. Delivering on our promise, funds transferred to the hospital have purchased many vital pieces of equipment, upgraded patient information systems and technology, provided specialized learning for our nursing staff and supported the capital construction of the Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit.

Meet Irene Nicholson. She is 101-years-old and is exactly the kind of patient who will benefit from QCH’s new Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. This specialized acute care unit will focus on the whole person, not just one medical issue. It’s the first of its kind in eastern Ontario and only the second ACE Unit in Ontario.

It takes a team to provide care at QCH – and our team includes patients and families. In fact, the patient’s voice is the most important one at the table. And now we want to do even more by ensuring they are part of every aspect of QCH – from advising hospital committees to improving discharge instructions and visiting hours, as well as participating on patient food tasting panels.

Our Patient and Family Advisory Council members share their ideas, provide feedback and help shape how care is delivered at QCH. For example, their suggestions to make a patient brochure easier to read or understand can actually reduce risk and truly make a difference.

It’s our common sense perspective. Patients and families have a totally different vantage point. If we can see the care through their eyes, we know that care can only get better.

To do so, QCH is part of the Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) program. More than 80 nurses have already completed specialized training. Everyone at QCH - even our volunteers - will be part of the learning.

In fact, QCH has attained exemplar status with the program, recognizing our commitment to providing the very best care for seniors.

Quality matterS

QCH is proud to support a greener environment through several initiatives that focus on reducing energy consumption and redirecting waste from the landfill to recycling. In fact, QCH was recently recognized with an award from the Ontario Hospital Association for energy excellence.

A great example is the reusable sharps container program. These plastic boxes are mounted on walls throughout the hospital to safely collect used needles and syringes. In the past, the boxes were discarded once full. Now QCH works with a company that empties, sterilizes and returns the containers for reuse. It keeps our patients and staff safe, but it’s also environmentally friendly.

In the past year, QCH has diverted 2.5 metric tonnes of plastic from the landfill.

That’s the equivalent of 193,798 water bottles!

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

About 20 people attended the June 15 meeting of the Pitch (im)Perfect singers at Kitchissippi United Church. The group was started by Yusuf Osman and his family for people who like to sing, but aren’t very good at it.

Imperfect chorus strikes a chord with local singers Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Can’t sing? That’s not a problem for the Pitch (im) Perfect singers – that’s exactly whom the group is looking for.

Every other Wednesday night a group of singers – many who admit they can’t sing, but like doing it – gather at the Kitchissippi United Church at 7 p.m. for 90 minutes of laughs, swaying and bobbing and, of course, singing.

On June 15, the group of more than 20 took on songs with references to colour, starting with Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond, Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell and Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones.

If someone’s timing was a

bit off, or the group started on the wrong beat, quiet laughter could be heard between the notes, before getting back on track.

The set list also included Brown Eyed Girl, Red Red Wine, Black Velvet and Blue Suede Shoes.

“I like to sing, but I’m no singer,” Yusuf Osman, who started the group with his family, said before the start of that Wednesday night’s activities.

According to a study released earlier this year by Tenovus Cancer Care in the U.K. and the Royal College of Music, singing in a choir for an hour boosts immune system activity in cancer patients and caregivers. It can also reduce stress and improve your mood.

Having had cancer, the

research hit home with Osman. He wondered if he could have recovered faster, had something like Pitch im(Perfect) existed.

Between reading about the benefits of singing in a group and feeling like his life lacked a creative outlet, he thought he would start a choir for people who can’t sing, or for people who can, but don’t want to deal with the pressures of performing or auditioning for a choir.

So it was up to him to start something for others, and for himself.

“So much of our society – work or parenting – is full of the pressure to perform, the pressure to do better. This is a place where not being good is good enough,” he said.

MP Belanger honoured for ‘tireless’ work Michelle Baker Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Montfort Hospital awarded Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger with the Medaille du 22 mars at its annual general meeting.

On March 22, 1997, more than 10,000 supporters fought to save the Montfort Hospital, a small francophone hospital in Ottawa’s east end, which was slated to close.

That protest helped save the hospital and in 2004, to commemorate that accomplishment, the hospital created a medal — a symbol of pride, determination and perseverance.

Only 22 medals were created, and on June 15 Belanger received the ninth one handed ever given.

Described as “a tireless defender of the rights of francophone minority communities,” by the hospital, Belanger was one of the supporters who filled the Ottawa Civic Centre, in an effort to save the hospital.

Belanger has been OttawaVanier’s MP since he won a byelection in 1995. He was easily reelected in 2015, with more than

57 per cent of the vote. Upon reelection, he submitted his name for the position of Speaker of the House of Commons, but on Nov. 30 Belanger withdrew his candidacy after he received the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

C-210 in January. It passed first and second reading by June 1 and on June 15 it was accepted.

“Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,” Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15.

O CANADA

On March 9, Belanger sat in the House’s Speakers chair for the day, presiding with the use of an iPad app that generated a computerized voice.

On June 15, Belanger’s longtime fight to have the words changed in Canada’s national anthem to be more gender neutral – from “True patriot love in all thy sons command” to “True patriot love in all of us command” — was approved by a vote in the House of Commons.

“Just two words – of us – would replace ‘thy sons’,” Belanger said in his spring newsletter. “These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our na-

Montfort Hospital awarded Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger with the Medaille du 22 mars at its annual general meeting. tional anthem to finally recognize their contribution.”

Belanger began his fight to make a change to O Canada in

the previous parliament, but it was defeated in a close vote of 144 to 127 in the house. Belanger tabled a private members bill, Bill

“I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.”

The bill still requires approval from the senate.

Prior to the Montford award ceremony, the Association de l’Hôpital Montfort held its annual general meeting. The annual report to the community presenting the results of the activities of the Hôpital Montfort in 2015-2016 is available online at rapportannuel. hopitalmontfort.com

Songs by Canadians featured on June 29 Continued from page 63

Living about three minutes away from the United Church, which has excellent acoustics, it made for the perfect venue. Although it was a bit stressful that first night, May 18, not knowing if anyone would show up, Osman said it ended up being a lot of fun.

“Three weeks in and I’ve seen some personal growth as well,” Osman said. “The first day I thought I would just stand in the back and mouth the words.”

But now, he’s belting the lyrics out with the rest, finding that the choir provides the encouragement and freedom to participate.

“I’m loving it and if I’m liking it, others must be as well.”

Linda Seguin, who lives in south Ottawa, loves that Pitch (im)Perfect gives her the opportunity to let loose.

“We all sing home alone in the shower, but with a group it has a different energy and it makes you feel good,” Seguin said.

She added it’s a good distraction from your troubles or chores and “it puts a spring in your step.”

The group sings popular

songs from Justin Bieber to Dean Martin.

The idea to focus the set list on a theme has taken off since the group started getting together. Next up, for the meeting on June 29, will be songs by Canadians. The season of singing wraps up on July 27 with favourites.

One of the best parts of starting Pitch (im)Perfect is people are actually coming, Osman said. Many suggested the group would flop because people don’t like to put themselves in uncomfortable situations.

“People want this and it’s such a fun thing that stretches you a little bit,” he said.

Osman is hoping to restart in September, perhaps with rotating locations.

“The funny thing is when I talk with people about it, they say they can’t sing. They still think it’s not for them, so we still have some work to do breaking down the barriers a little more,” Osman said.

Singers pay $10 each week to cover the cost of the tracks, copies of lyrics, refreshments and a snack.

Diversity Celebration builds cultural bridges with Ottawa police Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police know how to throw a party.

The department is rolling out the welcome mat for Ottawa’s cultural and faith communities during the second annual Diversity Celebration.

Dancing, ethnic foods and music will greet everyone who drops by the Elgin Street police headquarters on June

23, from 4 to 6 p.m.

“It’s an opportunity for police to engage and get to know different communities,” said Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, who heads up the three-member Ottawa police diversity and race relations section, which is organizing the free, public event. “It’s like welcoming the diverse communities into our home.

“We often go to different community events, but this is an opportunity for them

Aligned with Multiculturalism Week and Welcome Ottawa Week, the drop-in event will feature performances by different ethnic groups, including those from the Russian, Jamaican, Latino, Filipino and Palestinian communities.

There will also be artistic works and cultural artifacts on display, and cultural foods will be available for sampling.

OTTAWA POLICE IMAGING SERVICES UNIT/SUBMITTED

The Ottawa Police Service’s inaugural Diversity Celebration in 2015 proved to be a popular draw. The second annual event is planned for June 23 at the Elgin Street police headquarters and will again be a celebration of Ottawa’s cultural and faith communities.

Last year’s inaugural twohour celebration was a popular draw, and organizers are hoping for the same success this time around.

Building bridges helps foster respect and open-minded-

ness for different cultures.

“Knowledge is key to tolerance,” Zackrias said.

“Celebrating our differences as well as our common interests helps us unite and educates us,” he said. “Our

differences become strengths in a collaborative effort – collaboration is a path to peace and harmony in our community.”

Police need to ‘reflect community’: staff sgt.

Continued from page 66

About 25 per cent of Ottawa’s population is made up of visible minorities, and Statistics Canada is projecting that to climb to 36 per cent by 2031.

Events such as the Diversity Celebration not only celebrate differences but also attract policing candidates from various diverse community groups, some of which may not have a positive view of policing as a profession.

Some of those perceptions are based on their experiences in their home countries where police, military and the government are often feared.

“In Canada it’s completely different where policing in an honourable profession,” said Zackrias. “We, as an organization, have to reflect the community that we serve.”

The department’s police diversity section has become a progressive entity since being formed in

the mid-1990s.

The department’s GLBT liaison committee has also made significant inroads since its creation 25 years ago.

“We’ve been working hard building those bridges, enhancing those relationships with those diverse community groups,” said Zackrias.

Like the upcoming celebration, creating and bolstering community-based connections is important to boost the public’s trust in and satisfaction with police.

“It’s the public that gives us the legitimacy to police, and we need to continue working on that,” Zackrias said. “When people feel they belong, when they feel they are part of society, you get better collaboration and you find solutions to some of the problems that we are facing.”

The Diversity Celebration will take place outside in front of the police headquarters building, located at 474 Elgin St.

CAT OF THE WEEK

Call made for national public drug plan for all The Canadian Health Coalition is launching its policy brief: A National Public Drug Plan for All. Author Julie White brings together many of the academic studies showing the financial savings, improved drug safety, and increased equality that would occur under a national public drug plan.

Canada remains the only country with a universal health system that doesn’t include prescription medicines. “The proposals contained in this paper would bring Canada into the 21st

century and align our public health plan with other comparable countries,” says White.

According to Angus Reid poll conducted in 2015, 23 per cent of Canadians did not fill a prescription in the past 12 months due to the cost of medicines.

“We know that a national public drug plan would be enormously popular with the support of 91 per cent of Canadians” says White.

Last month the Federal Minister of Health Jane Philpott made comments to the House of Commons stand-

ing committee on health that she had no mandate to create a universal pharmacare programme and that “it sounds like it might be expensive ...There are public drug plans across the country for people who can’t afford medication.”

But as White explains, “the reason why drugs are so expensive in Canada is precisely because we do not have a national public drug plan.

We pay far more for drugs because we are unable to negotiate drug prices with the pharmaceutical companies for the whole population, as

is done in many other countries.”

Reliable research has shown that on a total cost of $27 billion paid for drugs, we pay up to $11 billion more than we would with a national plan. Meanwhile both provincial plans and private insurance plans are struggling under the high prices and cutting back coverage.

This paper is launched while the House of Commons standing committee on health is studying the development of a national pharmacare program and while members of the Canadian Health Coalition are meeting with their MPs in a Canadawide constituency lobby.

The Canadian Health Coalition is a non-profit, non-

partisan, non-governmental organization calling on the Federal government to initiate conversations with the provinces and territories on a national public drug plan.

A copy of the full policy briefing is at healthcoalition.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/NationalPublic-Drug-Plan-for-AllMay-2016.pdf.
