‘I started with this one little candle’ Candlelighters founder receives Meritorious Service Cross Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

It started with one candle, one light in the darkness.

Edwina Eddy founded Candlelighters Canada (now the Childhood Cancer Canada Foundation) in 1987, 11 years after her son Bryan passed away from acute myelogenous leukemia.

Eddy, now 83, was one of 17 people honoured at Rideau Hall on June 23 with the Meritorious Service See SUPPORT, page 5

Neighbourhood study changes in works Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The boundaries depicting KatimavikHazeldean will be updated on the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study website by 2017, along with the subsequent data, following years of requests from the local community association.

Rod MacLean, president of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association, said he’s been requesting the change since 2012 and is happy that modifications are being made.

The boundaries for the south Kanata community currently shown on the study’s map extend north of Highway 417. It includes Village Green and part of Kanata Lakes, two north Kanata communities, which skews the data about population and amenities in Katimavik-Hazeldean.

“It’s not part of the community,” said MacLean. “It distorts things quite a bit in terms of what is in Katimavik-Hazeldean.”

MacLean said another resident brought the inaccurate map to his attention years ago. He added he hasn’t received any complaints about it; he just wants to see accurate information reflected.

Katimavik-Hazeldean’s borders are Highway 417 to the north, Hazeldean Road on the south, Eagleson Road to the east, and the Carp River in the west, he said.

The neighbourhood study map shows the northern boundary as Campeau Drive, and the western boundary as Terry Fox. Ottawa Neighbourhood Study project co-ordinator David Hole said the incorrect information is being updated for Katimavik-Hazeldean, along with other communities with inaccurate boundaries and data.

“We’ve just completed this consultation that will see the boundaries changing for a number of neighbourhoods, especially in the Kanata area. KatimavikHazeldean is one of those,” said Hole.

“We’re very happy to incorporate the changes.”

The new information is expected to be added to the website by the end of 2017, following the release of the 2016 census information, he said.

The study provides data on a number of factors – including access to food and schools, community resources and demographics – in 107 neighbourhoods in Ottawa.

“It’s the most extensive database of

its kind anywhere in Canada if not the world,” said Hole. “It really helps illustrate what the neighbourhood strengths are as well as areas of difficulty that community groups might want to address.”

The Ottawa Neighbourhood Study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Population Health Improvement Network, the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres, Champlain LHIN, and the United Way.

Support for cancer patients and their families has grown Continued from page 1

Cross by Gov. Gen. David Johnston for her work. Another 35 people received a Meritorious Service Medal.

“Through her tireless efforts, she has helped numerous critically ill children and their families,” said a news release recognizing Eddy.

“I was just quite surprised to receive the call,” said Eddy

four other children and Bryan felt like they were all in the dark.

“There was no one to talk to,” she said. “The information wasn’t forthcoming at that time to help teachers, to help parents, to help grandparents. People were very much alone trying to struggle with this problem.”

Knowing her family wasn’t really alone, she start-

People were very much alone trying to struggle with this problem EDWINA EDDY

about being nominated and recognized. “It’s growing into a good network. It’s working, I hope, as well as possible. I just wanted it to be helpful.”

When Bryan was diagnosed with leukemia in 1972 at age 13, there were no supports for parents, siblings or the children who were diagnosed with cancer, said Eddy, who lives at the Red Oak Retirement Residence in Kanata.

Eddy, her husband, their

ed a support group in Montreal that attracted “well over a dozen” people, she said.

Bryan supported her efforts.

“He was happy to see I was doing it. He approved of what I was trying to do,” said Eddy. “People need each other, to help each other through it. The kids needed each other too. That all evolved eventually.”

Three months before he died in 1976, Bryan marched

on Parliament Hill to protest medical research cuts with a sign reading, I Have Leukemia. Without Research, I am on Death Row, said Eddy.

Forty years later, Childhood Cancer Canada Foundation helps families across the country by connecting people with supports, providing scholarships to survivors and funding childhood cancer research. To date, about $4.5 million has been raised.

The funding for research, said Eddy, is so important.

“My intent was to help people but hopefully a cure will be found and the whole thing goes down.”

Eddy was also instrumental in changing the Employment Insurance benefit for parents caring for a critically ill or injured child, allowing them to apply for up to 35 weeks of assistance (the previous maximum was six weeks) when taking time away from work to care for a child with a life-threatening illness.

“I just think it’s great; I started with this one little candle,” said Eddy, referencing the slogan she created the organization around. “It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. People are taking that up; the light is spreading.”

Ottawa to welcome international show jumping again Wesley Clover Parks to host Ottawa’s first international competition since 2011 Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

International-level show jumping will return to Ottawa in July after a five-year absence with two weeks of tournaments hosted and organized by Wesley Clover Parks.

Park management ushered in a new chapter of Ottawa-based national show jumping in 2015, hosting its first show jumping event since the park’s purchase by the Wesley Clover Foundation 2014.

That event, called the Ottawa International Horse Show although it was a national competition, was the first major tournament to he held at the park, formerly known as the Nepean National Equestrian Centre, since 2011.

This year, the park’s major show jumping event will include two weeks of programming, with

Unlike last year’s competition, which featured riders from abroad but was only sanctioned nation-

horse show in June,” said Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks.

“And now we have better placement in July for the horse show circuit for two weeks, featuring international show jumping.”

The two weeks of world-class show jumping are expected to draw 600 horses and more than 15,000 spectators.

Competitors will ride over jumps on grass courses set by 2015 Pan American Games course designer Michel Vaillancourt, from Canada, and 2016 Olympic course designer Guilherme Jorge, from Brazil, in his final project before the Rio Games.

For spectators, Sparks said the event – which is free to attend, with parking available by-donation – will offer an opportunity to experience a unique sport that has riders and horses navigating timed courses at high speeds, jumping over fences as tall as 1.5 metres.

“There’s a lot of high profile international riders coming,” she said.

Some of those riders will include Olympic silver medalist and two-time Show Jumping World Cup winner Ian Millar, and daughter and son, Amy and Jonathon, and Olympic silver medalist Jill Henselwood.

“It’s super low cost to see a really unique sport with a lot of dynamic action,” she said.

“You see the horses up close and there’s so much time and effort that are put into making these horses the athletes that they are.

They’re international athletes themselves as well as the riders, and you get to see them up close and personal.”

Summer skills: surviving the family vacation

W

e are a camping family. If that makes us sound all healthy and sporty and cohesive as a unit, that’s precisely the point. But, as with many things in life, we don’t always live up to our own expectations.

The last two years, we’ve kind of camped ourselves out. Over time, our family and the size and number of equipment has grown. By the end of last summer, we weren’t heading out of town for a single overnight trip without a couple of kayaks, three tents, fishing rods, bicycles, a stroller and enough food to feed us three times over.

Tarps, ropes, knives, beach toys, rain gear, sun gear, multiple footwear options – you name it, we had it.

It sounds great, right? We’d want for nothing. We’d be prepared for any eventuality – to fish or not to fish?

But I started to dislike camping by the end of last year. Personally, I’d always been drawn to the activity due to its simplicity. Sure you had to cook and do dishes, but there was no tidying, no cleaning of toilets, and few things to distract one from enjoying whatever nature had to offer. As our gear list grew, however,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse it seemed like the campsite was always a mess. I spent half my time shuffling things about, hanging things on the clothes line, trying to match up one of the 20 pairs of shoes.

Camping had become such a disappointment to me that I hadn’t pre-booked any trips for the family this year by midJune, much to the children’s disappointment. With the impending heat wave, however, I finally broke down and booked

two nights in Gatineau Park, just to test it out.

We decided to pack very simply — one tent, one change of clothes, a single pair of shoes. It was easier than it could’ve been because the weekend was forecast to be dry and hot, so extra blankets, rain gear and tarps could be left at home.

On our arrival, getting equipment out was faster and simpler than it had been in years, which gave us more time to explore.

A campfire ban meant there would be no cooking on a fire, but also no sitting around. Instead, evening and morning walks led to the discovery of deer and waylaid raccoons, and a grassy plain of hundreds of fireflies. It was a fairy world.

We went to bed as soon as the sun went down and got up with the squawking of

the crow. Time stood still as we played in the lake and on the beach, read books and talked to each other. Having less made us appreciate the things we did have and it made us happier.

Returning home on Sunday afternoon, I was struck by how much stuff there always is in the house. I’ve had a long time goal to get rid of half of everything we own. I’m constantly purging items and donating to charities, but despite my best efforts, we seem to acquire as fast as we shed.

Still, at least the joy of the family camping trip has been revived. We’re attempting another weekend at Mont Tremblant National Park. It looks like rain gear may be required, but we’re leaving the beach toys at home.

Drivers keep feeling the squeeze

A

re drivers the new smokers over at city hall?

For years now the City of Ottawa, like cities across North America, has brought in all types of rules and regulations that, in essence, say to smokers you are not welcome here.

And it is now starting to feel as though drivers – those nasty people who reject being socially engineered into taking a bicycle everywhere they go and have no interest in jumping on public transit no matter how many bells and whistles the city’s future light rail system will have – are becoming the new smokers in this city.

A new city bylaw is expected to reduce the number of parking spots required for future developments in the inner urban core.

The city’s planning committee approved changes to the minimum-parking bylaw on June 28. It’s the first time the city has altered the bylaw since the 1960s.

Under the new rules, which go to council July 13, developments within a 400- to 800-metre walk from light rail stations would not have

to provide parking – except apartment buildings that have more than 12 units.

The availability of parking downtown will thus get even scarcer in the future. But apparently, over at city hall, that doesn’t matter since in the utopian view of some, we will all be happily going about our business on light rail or cycling our way through the urban jungle.

This goes along with the new sensors that the police department have to nab those horrible drivers who have the misfortune of driving within a metre of a cyclist on city streets.

Never mind that some streets in the core are so narrow that to keep a metre buffer zone from a cyclist means to not drive at all on those streets.

Yes, the war on the car as a means of transportation in Ottawa continues to roll on.

We’d suggest, with the way things are going, that the city just ban cars completely from the roads of Ottawa except for the suburbs.

But we fear that to make such a suggestion, even with tongue firmly in cheek, the social engineers over at city hall will take the suggestion seriously, and run, or in this case, pedal with it.Â

There has to be a better way to travel in the city

P

eople do manage to get downtown in Ottawa, in their cars. And some of them even manage to get out of downtown Ottawa.

It’s a miracle that happens every day.

In the construction zone, that is the core of our city, there are faint signs that it might some day be over.

After tunnels are completed and tracks are laid and the Senate is safely moved into its new home and the National Arts Centre has finished dolling itself up and barring any massive new holes opening in the ground or visits from the President of the United States — then, and only then, can we return to normalcy, if anyone can remember what that looked like.

And that will be just in time for them to begin widening the

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Queensway again. Whoopee.

There is a plan for adding more lanes, going from three to four in a western stretch where it had previously narrowed from four to three, causing what the provincial government perceives as anguish to drivers.

Hating driver anguish, the government has decided to spend millions to widen the highway, a project that will last years and create havoc while it happens.

People may flee to downtown to escape it.

The number of millions has not been announced, but a widening

project in the east, begun in 2013 and completed only recently, cost $226 million. So this one could cost at least that.

As you would expect, a considerable debate has arisen over this plan. It seems, critics say, to go completely against the prevailing mood about roads and transit.

For some years the conventional wisdom has been that public transit should take priority over road construction, that new roads only attract more drivers, thus causing increases in pollution, global warming etc.

There has even been wide acceptance of a theory that adding lanes creates more problems than it solves, that the temporary ease of driving brings more drivers onto the roads, eventually causing the new lanes to be as clogged as the old ones.

If that happens, there goes $226 million down the drain.

The Ontario minister of energy, Ottawa’s own Bob Chiarelli, disputes that theory. “ ‌ We need to move beyond the over-simplified theory that every highway widening is a senseless idea,â€? he wrote in an opinion piece in an Ottawa daily newspaper. As the region has expanded, “so has the need for increased economic infrastructure,â€? he added.

Sure. But the widening project does seem to indicate a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of light rail in easing the city’s traffic problems.

And then there is the question of what happens while the construction is on. It was chaos in the east. An on-ramp will be eliminated and the effects of that on local traffic worry residents.

So is it really worth it? All that money, all those construction headaches.

is. A really inexpensive alternative would putting up some signs five kilometres in advance of the current narrowing, warning of a lane ending. That could be coupled with a course teaching drivers how to deal with lane changes and an advertising campaign urging people to take public transit — perhaps even with lower fares.

That would cost a lot less than $200 million.

Committee approves changes to number of parking spaces Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A new City of Ottawa bylaw that would reduce the number of parking spots required for developments in the inner urban core, won’t apply to areas within the boundaries of the Centrepointe Community Design Plan, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli.

The city’s planning committee approved changes to the minimum-parking bylaw on June 28. It’s the first time the city has altered the bylaw since the 1960s. The changes will be considered by council on July 13.

Under the new rules, developments within a 400-800-metre walk from light rail stations would not have to provide parking – except apartment buildings that have more than 12 units.

“There’s so much going on at Centrepointe that it makes sense for us to do minimum parking requirements at the same time as maximums,” Chiarelli said.

The community design plan for Centrepointe has been in the works for the last seven years. Chiarelli said 200 residents attended the last public meeting.

He added that a city staffer at the meeting said the city would be looking at parking

maximums over the next few months.

At the planning committee meeting, staff wouldn’t commit to a timeline.

Aside from the community design plan, a development is proposed for 19 Centrepointe Dr., at the intersection of Constellation Drives.

“With the Centrepointe CDP looking for new, tar-

You can imagine the overflow on residential streets if developers got an exemption from parking requirements in the suburbs COUN. JAN HARDER

geted zoning in the place of parking lots, it’s best to wait to deal with parking,” Chiarelli said, adding the exemption from the bylaw change would mean Centrepointe adheres to the original minimums set out 50 years ago.

Planning committee chair Jan Harder said there is a lot of pressure for park-

ing spots in that area, and any reduction to minimums would drive cars to residential roads.

The committee carried his motion – which will keep the parking requirements status quo in Centrepointe for the time being – but Chiarelli said he had two dozen speakers on hand who were willing to make a pitch to committee.

The committee also approved a motion by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley that clarifies the rules around visitor parking. The motion also clarified that the rules will apply to the urban core, not the suburban and rural areas.

“You can imagine the overflow on residential streets if developers got an exemption from parking requirements in the suburbs,” Harder said.

Some of the highlights of the bylaw changes include: * Near rapid transit stations outside the core, parking rates on non-residential properties could be reduced by up to 50 per cent. * In the inner urban area, small-scale development both residential and commercial, would be exempt from parking minimums.

Non-residential properties parking requirements could be reduced by half.

Plan for Kanata North urban expansion on hold Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Planning committee chairwoman Jan Harder pushed the pause button on the Kanata North urban boundary expansion plans on June 28.

Harder said there were too many questions, and the committee members would need a briefing before they could make a call on the merits of the project.

While the item was deferred until July 12, a handful of speakers were allowed to address the committee on June 28.

The majority of concerns were centered around traffic, water quality and the lack of a community centre.

The land slated for the expansion is northwest of Celtic Ridge Crescent, Windance Crescent and Old Carp Road. It extends just north of St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church.

The last public meeting, held at St. Isidore on

March 30, drew more than 200 people.

There will be 3,000 residential dwellings as part of the plan – staff estimated that will translate into 8,000 residents.

Some commercial uses will be available for the southwest of March Road.

It was placed that way because consultants felt traffic will be going north along March Road on the way home from work, giving drivers easy, right-turn access to stores. Old Carp Road would be used as a collector for access from the south.

A park-and-ride and a fire hall – planned to replace the fire hall further north on rural on Riddell Drive – are shown just south of St. Isidore school.

Four parks are planned for the area, including a community park abutting March Road to the southwest. A storm water management facility will be placed near the park.

The plan also includes locations for four schools – all but one will be for elementary students.

The residents who spoke to planning expressed concerns about water quality within the communal well system, traffic and the lack of a community centre.

Murray Chown, the project manager with Novatech, said that since the report was prepared, staff have received some comments around the infrastructure and transportation plan.

He said the aquifer can handle the extra demand the development would place on the area. There will be sentry wells placed on the perimeter of the property during the construction, he said, ensuring water quality remains intact.

John Horwitz of the March Rural Community Association said he’s worried about the quality of Carp Road, with pressure from the development.

West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, also expressed some concerns, but Harder suggested that he should have an alternative in mind, if he wanted to “neuter” Old Carp Road as an option for a collector road.

Chown said the existing roadway can handle the traffic impact.

“The best way to hold the urban boundary is to maximize the number of houses within the urban boundary,” he said.

GREENSPACE

Judy Maikin, also from the community association, said she was pleased with the number of parks, but added there are too many sports fields.

“We would like the parks to keep their natural vegetation,” she said, adding that school-aged children who play sports won’t be the only users.

See BOUNDARY, page 11

Boundary decision pushed to July 12 meeting Continued from page 10

Maikin brought up the concept of “nature deficit disorder,” suggesting today’s younger generation suffers from a lack of access to greenery.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who heads the Ottawa Board of Health, seemed interested in the idea, and asked Maikin to send him research, but Harder seemed

skeptical.

“I would be very surprised if people moving into the community have the same desire as you.

Parks that are not maintained are not parks,” she said, adding people in the suburbs lead different kinds of lives – often tied to recreational sport.

Sheila Perry, who spoke on behalf of the Federation of Community Associations, said it was

problematic to have 3,000 planned residential dwellings with no community centre. Harder said the city had a prioritized plan for recreation and community centres and its unlikely that a community centre would be a possibility right away.

Staff said the Richcraft Recreation Complex is less than one kilometre from the proposed development.

The project will be considered at the July 12 planning committee meeting, then fast-tracked to the

July 13 council meeting.

At the public meeting in March, Chown said people can expect developers to start submitting applications by the end of the year, with subdivisions being registered in 2018.

Second allegation about police chief’s conduct to be investigated Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The city’s police services board is passing on a second complaint about its chief of police to a watchdog to investigate.

Following a closed-door meeting on June 27, chair of the police services board Eli El-Chantiry announced the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, a civilian oversight agency, will review whether Chief Charles Bordeleau presented misleading information to the board about a courthouse security contract.

That presentation was made on July 15, 2015.

El-Chantiry was quick to

say the board was not passing judgement on the allegation.

“The board is not deciding whether the allegations are true or if there is any merit to the complaint,” El-Chantiry said.

“Under the Police Services Act the board is required to review every complaint about the chief of police that is referred by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director.”

The job of the police board is only to determine whether the conduct in the complaint falls within the act’s complaint process, El-Chantiry said.

He also said the board was asked to recuse itself from its initial review. However, according to the act, El-Chantiry

said, there’s nothing that allows the board to ask someone else to do the review.

He added no further comment would be made.

Following the meeting, El-Chantiry said it would be inappropriate to comment on how long the investigation could take and emphasized the board was acknowledging the existence of the complaint and handing it over to the appropriate body.

The police chief is also being investigated for his conduct surrounding an inquiry he made into who was prosecuting his father-in-law for a driving infraction.

In March, Bordeleau wel-

comed a review of his actions.

“There is a procedure for reviewing the actions of any police officer. I welcome that,” he said at the time.

El-Chantiry had said back in March that the board was briefed on the hiring of private security at the courthouse before a vote.

“We were not in any way misled,” he said in March.

The complaint was not initially investigated after the OIPRD ruled that Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof was not eligible to make the complaint. They said the complaint had to be filed by a resident, not another officer.

A complaint about Police Chief Charles Bordeleau’s conduct has been referred by the Ottawa Police Services Board to the Office of the independent Police Review Director, a civilian oversight agency. Board chair Eli El-Chantiry announced the board’s decision during its meeting on June 27.

Free legal advice available for survivors of sexual assault Staff

A new pilot project launched by the provincial government will give sexual assault survivors access to free legal advice.

The pilot, launched on June 28, will give survivors of sexual assault living in Ottawa, Toronto, and Thunder Bay up to four hours of free, confidential advice from a lawyer, according to a press release.

The service is offered no matter how much time has passed since the incident and

advice can be provided in person or over the phone.

“Sexual assault survivors need to know they have choices and they have power,” Ottawa Centre MPP and Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said in a statement.

“Providing them with information on support services that are available is only one piece. Offering them free legal advice is key to helping them make decisions about what is best for them as they move forward.”

The pilot project will run

until March 2018, when it will be evaluated.

The service is available for men and women 16 years old and up. Survivors can choose from a list of lawyers who will provide advice, including a referral to a lawyer that can represent them, but will not provide legal representation.

Survivors can access the program by submitting a voucher request form, available at Ontario.ca/legaladvice. For more information about the program, call 1-855-226-3904.

Police services board to advertise committee meetings Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Secret police board committee meetings will now be advertised online with an list of topics and identified as public, following a vote by the Ottawa police services board on June 27.

But the board failed to go one step further, getting rid of them completely and having the discussions at the already open and advertised monthly board meetings.

Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the board, asked members if they had considered completely aban-

doning the working groups and having those discussions at the board meetings.

“I think that’s something that should have been considered,” Harder said at the meeting. “How did we get here so quickly?”

She suggested getting rid of the separate committees would bring more people out to the police board meetings because there would be more discussion, more information available for attendees and less rubber-stamping.

She brought forward a motion asking for the working groups or committees to be disbanded.

Coun. Tim Tierny said present-

ers could be limited to the number of slides at regular board meetings to allow for more discussion, so everything gets done at the table.

But, board member Sandy Smallwood said staff find the committees helpful and they provide the arena for a more fulsome discussion between the chief of police, his staff and board members.

Board member Suzanne Valiquet agreed.

“It’s important we separate the meetings and have the opportunity to engage with staff,” she said.

Harder’s motion failed in a vote of 4-2 with only Harder and Tierny in favour.

The committees are comprised of three board members, as a result no decisions can be made at that level. According to a board report, the committees – complaints, finance and audit, human resources and policy and governance – met a total of eight times last year.

The board surveyed other jurisdictions to determine how they handled committee meetings and found that of 34 boards that responded 22 have committees.

Eight of 20 respondents make their meetings open to the public and six keep detailed minutes.

The board approved the ad-

vertisement of the date, time and location of the meetings on the board’s website. A list of topics to be discussed will be provided, excluding closed-session items and committee chairs will provide updates at regular board meetings. A copy of the minutes with information about the essence of the subject, the outcome and a summary of the rationale for the outcome will also be provided.

The board report reads, “the committee members agreed it is very important that the public see that civilian oversight is happening.”

“I think this is a good step,” said board chair Eli El-Chantiry during the meeting, adding he was sending a letter to police boards across the province to consider making similar changes.

“We know meetings across the province are moving towards a more transparent and accountable model,” El-Chantiry said following the meeting.

“We thought why don’t we take the highest of the high road.”

The committee will come back to the board this fall on recommendations about committee structures and mandates.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to personally thank our sponsors, performers, artists, volunteers and our patrons for making Canada Day 2016 a success.

This event could not happen without the long hours of our volunteers, the support of all our sponsors and community partners.

Ottawa pentathlete Melanie McCann to represent Canada at Olympics McCann to compete in modern pentathlon for second time at the Games Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Ottawa pentathlete Melanie McCann had some ups and downs on the way to earning her second Olympic berth, but in August she’ll join Team Canada in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games.

McCann will fly to Rio on Aug. 3 to walk in the Parade of Nations during the Games’ opening ceremony.

She will compete in the pentathlon’s five competitions – fencing, swimming, horseback riding and a combined running and shooting event – over the course of a single day, on Aug. 18.

For McCann – who lives in west Ottawa but grew up in Mount Carmel, Ont. – competing at an Olympic venue surrounded by the world’s top athletes will be familiar territory.

McCann placed 11th in the modern pentathlon during the 2012 Olympic Games, securing

SUBMITTED

After a year of setbacks and comebacks, Ottawa-based Olympic and Pan American pentathlete Melanie McCann will compete in the modern pentathlon in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 18. the highest ranking of any Canadian in an Olympic modern pentathlon event. This time around, she’s hoping to draw on her prior experience to snag a medal.

“At this point in my career I am the strongest and fittest I have

ever been in my life and I think I’m also the most mentally resilient,” McCann said.

“Because I’ve had the setbacks, I’ve had the letdowns, and I’ve come back from them. I have a very clear objective about what

I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and what I want to achieve for the rest of this summer.”

McCann has spent the past nine years mastering fencing, show jumping, swimming, target shooting and running, and has

two Pan American Games under her belt.

This time last year, McCann was preparing to compete in the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, where she hoped to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Despite placing fifth in the women’s pentathlon – which awarded Olympic spots to the top five finishers – McCann was passed up when fellow Canadian pentathlete Donna Vakalis placed fourth, since only one athlete from each nation could qualify at that time.

It was a setback that meant McCann would need to spend the first months of 2016 flying around the globe, chasing world rankings from February to May. Although it was not the most direct, or even expected, route to getting her Olympic berth, McCann said she easily earned the scores she needed to qualify.

“It’s definitely been a huge challenge and it was a steep mountain to climb,” she said.

“I had some really good results and I put enough points together to secure my spot at the Olympics.”

McCann “totally comfortable” with zika threat, conditions in Rio de Janeiro Continued from page 19

All that’s left for McCann to do before she departs for Rio is to attend one last training camp and stick to her usual full-time training and recovery schedule.

“A lot of the training I’ll be doing is just honing in on my technical and my speed skills here in Ottawa,” she said, explaining that she trains in three to four disciplines each day, separating morning and evening training sessions with a mid-day break.

“It’s all day, and, between the training and the recovery, there’s not much time for anything else.”

McCann pointed out that even her coaches are pulling double duty.

Head coach John Hawes, riding coach Rick Maynard and fencing coach Paul ApSimon are set to coach the national modern pentathlon team – consisting of McCann and fellow London 2012 Olympian Vakalis – once in Rio, running coach Mike Woods has earned a spot on Canada’s Olympic cycling team, and her physiotherapist Jaime Trick has been added to Team Canada’s medical staff.

For Trick, who lives in Ottawa east but works in Kanata, Rio will mark her first time looking after Team Canada’s athletes at the Games.

While some athletes have chosen

to avoid this year’s Games due to the threat of the Zika virus – which is spread through mosquito bites – McCann, who has competed in Brazil several times throughout her career, said she feels confident that Team Canada’s medical staff will take the steps necessary to protect Canadian athletes at the Games.

“With the Olympic team, we’ve been well equipped with the best medical staff in Canada,” she said.

“So they’ve put in place procedures and measures to protect us and to make sure we’re ready to compete.

With that staff behind me, I have no concerns whatsoever, so I’m totally comfortable going to Brazil.”

And with a support system consisting of four coaches, a physiotherapist and dozens of friends and family members who call themselves Team McCannCAN – an amalgamation of her surname and Canada – McCann said she feels comfortable tackling her two main goals for her second turn at the Games: improving on her previous best Canadian performance of 11th place, and bringing home a medal.

“In pentathlon anything can happen, it can be anyone’s day, and really a medal is very possible and, of SUBMITTED course, I’m always shooting for the podium. So those are my two perfor- After a year of setbacks and comebacks, Ottawa-based Olympic and Pan American pentathlete Melanie McCann will compete in the modern pentathlon in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 18. mance goals.”

New Ottawa Hospital-developed strategy to save lives, cut costs Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A nine-question tool on fainting developed by a team of Ottawa researchers is expected to save lives by helping uncover potentially lifethreatening health problems.

It could also cut down on hospital admissions, reduce waiting times and save millions of health-care dollars at Canadian hospitals.

The screening tool – which will be made available to doctors online and in an app – is the product of the world’s first comprehensive study on fainting that was launched five years ago.“This is the largest study on fainting patients in the world,” said Dr. Venkatesh Thiruganasambandamoorthy, an emergency physician at the Ottawa Hospital and lead author of the fainting study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on July 4.

“Fainting can be very scary,” said the scientist with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, who is also an assistant medical professor at the University of Ottawa. “When somebody faints, it’s like they’re literally dying for a few seconds, except they wake up.”

The nine identifiers doctors can now look for include a history of heart disease, whether common fainting signs were present – such as standing for long periods of time or being in a warm or crowded environment – and testing for abnormal electrocardiogram measurements and high levels of a heart muscle protein called troponin.

Fainting is fairly common, with about 35 to 40 per cent of people fainting at least once in their lives, and largely caused by minor issues.

However, about 10 per cent of people faint due to “dangerous, hidden, life-threatening causes,” such as an irregular heartbeat, heart attack, blood clots in the lung, and bleeding in the brain or in the stomach, said Thiruganasambandamoorthy.

Scoping out these hidden health

conditions can be a challenge, particularly since hospital emergency departments across Canada are busy treating about 140,000 fainting cases every year.

STREAMLINING ASSESSMENTS

Currently, there is no streamlined approach to assess fainting patients in emergency rooms across Canada.

But Thiruganasambandamoorthy is hoping to change that.

He first became interested in studying fainting several years ago while working in a community hospital in Lindsay, Ont., where many retirees live.

“On Sunday morning all that I would see was fainting patients coming from church,” he said.

When looking to different jurisdictions, he learned that many fainting patients were being admitted to hospital to figure out the cause of the fainting spells.

Then, about seven years ago, a family member fainted in front of him.

“That was so scary,” he said. “I thought she was dead. Because the pulse is so feeble, you can’t detect it.”

Both experiences prompted the doctor to put fainting under the microscope.

Now, thanks to his study, which included patients at the Ottawa Hospital and hospitals in Kingston, Edmonton and Calgary, doctors are being advised to conduct an electrocardiogram and a single blood test, as well as look for nine factors.

Patient responses to these questions can be plugged into a new screening tool that estimates whether a patient will experience a serious problem within the next 30 days.

Of the 4,030 patients studied, 147 suffered a serious health event within a month after discharge.

“If there is an underlying issue, it should be evident with the next 30 days,” Thiruganasambandamoor-

DR. VENKATESH THIRUGANASAMBANDAMOORTHY thy said.

“This will tell them what the probability is,” he said of the screening tool. “If the probability is high then they (doctors) need to go and do a very thorough evaluation of the patient, (and) not necessarily that we are recommending admission for these patients.”

Not all serious health conditions, such as an irregular heart rhythm, can be detected during an ER visit.

Of the 10 per cent of fainting patients who have serious underlying health issues, the cause will not be detected in about four per cent.

To figure out if arrhythmia caused the fainting, patients can he hooked up to a device that will remotely

monitor their heartbeat after they return home from the hospital. The device will feed information back to a central monitoring station. If a serious condition is detected, the patient can be immediately contacted and called back to the ER. The screening tool is also expected to cut down on the time patients spend in emergency rooms, as well as the number of hospital admissions by quickly and safely discharging those low-risk patients who fainted.

Most fainting patients will spend an average of five hours in the ER, while approximately 10 per cent will be admitted to the hospital for an average stay of eight days.

In Ottawa, about 12 per cent of fainting patients are admitted at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses. Across Canada, about 10 per cent are admitted.

“That drives a lot of issues in the form of a lot of testing in the emergency department,” Thiruganasambandamoorthy said, adding this leads to significant health-care costs.

In the U.S., as many as half to three-quarters of fainting patients will be admitted to the hospital for a few days to determine the cause.

That is very resource intensive, as doctors order CT brain scans, monitor heart activity and conduct blood tests.

HEALTH-CARE COSTS

In Canada, the average cost of an hourly ER visit is $55.14, which translates to $38.5 million annually.

For fainting patients admitted to

the Ottawa Hospital, the daily cost of a hospital stay is $1,140. Across Canada, hospitalization of patients who have fainted costs $127 million each year.

“If we just reduced 30 per cent of our admissions, we could save $22 million,” said Thiruganasambandamoorthy.

“We do not want to follow in the footsteps of the U.S. in the form of using millions of dollars for wastefully admitting all of these patients,” he said.

“We want to develop a very efficient strategy for this fainting.”

Dr. Barbara Miller, an emergency physician who fainted in the early morning hours at the General campus about five years ago, was subsequently enrolled in the study.

It was her first fainting spell, and was caused after she consumed a soft drink that caused her throat to distend.

As an emergency physician who works out of both the General and Civic campuses, she said fainting patients frequently come to the ER for treatment.

“I expect this study will give us some good perspective on who is safe to discharge and who needs more investigation,” the Alta Vista resident said, saving time, money, “and streamlining the care to hopefully know who needs to be investigated right away and who can be assessed as an outpatient.”

The study was funded by the Physicians Services Incorporated Foundation, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Ontario Innovation Fund and the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Back to the drawing board for hospital’s Civic campus site mmurray@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission is going back to the drawing board to reinvestigate preferred sites for the Civic campus hospital expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008.

Throughout the summer and fall, the board will follow a process to find a preferred site on federal land, before staff and a joint sub-committee come back to the board in November with a recommendation.

At least two of those on that list are no longer available, including Bayview Yards, now the Innovation Centre, and Former Nortel campus, which is used by the department of defence.

The NCC was directed

by Heritage Minister Melanie Joly to complete a full review of potential sites earlier this year and that it not be limited to the four

NCC BOARD MEMBER NORMAN HOTSON

preferred sites.

At a board meeting on June 28, board member Norman Hotson said the discussion about where the hospital should go should include how the hospital could be a catalyst for city building, not just what land

is available.

“I’m afraid you might miss a big opportunity here,” he said of looking only at perfect available sites.

Hotson also questioned whether it needs to be 60 acres and if there’s a more urban location available for the hospital.

He said there’s an “amazing opportunity here that might not fit the mould, but might be worth investigating.”

The review will not be limited to those 12 sites, but it will be a starting point, said Stephen Willis, executive director of capiSUBMITTED tal planning for the NCC. This map shows the 12 potential sites for a Civic campus hospital expansion identified Other federal lands will be back in 2008. The National Capital Commission will be using the list as it re-investigates looked at as potential sites sites for the project. and evaluated.

The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake.

The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city: the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River.

In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011) as a Schedule B project. The final deliverable for the EA portion of the project is an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This document has been completed and by this notice is being placed in the public record for review over a 30-day period.

The Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements report is available for review at the following location: Tom Brown Arena (Front Desk) 141 Bayview Road, Ottawa, ON K1Y 4M3 Comments on this information should be directed to:

lection process.

“We need the straight goods about what is exactly going on …

People are getting polarized and digging their heels in on this debate,” he said.

The process approved by the board first includes working with the hospital to determine its needs and the requirements for a new hospital. Then it will develop site selection criteria before confirming a list of potential sites and performing a comparison. Out of that, the NCC will rank the sites.

Even after the NCC makes its recommendation, that won’t be the end of its involvement, Willis said.

Continued from page 22

Willis said the sites will be looked at relative to one another, not with a numerical ranking. He emphasized that will make the process easier for the public to understand.

Mayor Jim Watson, who sits as a non-voting member of the board, suggested the NCC also look at getting an objective medical expert to weigh in on what the hospital needs.

“I don’t know what the proper acreage of a hospital is,” he said.

He added there are a lot of “urban legends” about what actually happens at the experimental farm and those need to be cleared up as the NCC moves through the site se-

Week in Review It was great to chat with so many of you at the Glenview Homes Canada Day in Kanata celebration at the Kanata Recreational Complex on Canada Day. Thank you for taking the time to say hello and attending this wonderful event.

Thank you to each of the volunteers who donate their time each year to make this the second largest Canada Day celebration in our city. Planning has already started for next year which will be Canada’s 150th Birthday! Please consider contacting the organizing committee to donate your time or financially. Thanks as well to all the sponsors, without your generous support this event could not be free to our community.

STEPHEN WILLIS “We are going to be in this for a couple of years,” Willis said, adding the NCC needs to stay on schedule so the project can move forward.

The process will also include a consultation component with key stakeholders, including the Local Health Integration Network, city, Ministry of Health and Longterm Care, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Friends of the Farm, Heritage Ottawa and more.

Willis said the appropriate community associations will also be asked for input.

Then this September, the public will be able to weigh in online to provide input. All of the information about consultations will be presented with the recommendation in November.

The 12 sites include: • Tunney’s Pasture • Bayview Yards • Hurdman Station • Booth Street complex • Experimental Farm (Sir John Carling) • Experimental Farm (across from existing campus) • Experimental Farm (Baseline at Fisher) • Confederation heights • Woodroff at Baseline • Nortel Site • Experimental Farm at the Nepean Sportsplex • Corridor Hunt Club South

This time of year we see many communities coming together to celebrate summer by hosting street or block parties.

Personally, I try to go to as many as possible to witness neighbours celebrating our great community.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Thank you to members of our Turkish Community for inviting me to their Iftar Dinner. It was so nice to share an evening with good friends and meet so many members of the community.

Symphony Living Strawberry Social What a wonderful time we all had at the Symphony Living Strawberry Social. It was great to see so many people show up to have a good time. The music and the singing were terrific. Thank you for the kind invitation to sing…but I was worried about the harm my voice would cause to the ears of those present.

Bridlewood Community Association BBQ It was great to join the Bridlewood Community at their BBQ on the weekend. Members of 872 Air Cadet Squadron did a great job with the cooking. It was great to meet so many people on a warm summer day. My next town hall will be held in Bridlewood at the Eva James Center on 14 September.

President Obama’s Visit It was so inspiring to listen to President Obama address our Parliament and deliver such a terrific speech. He made a point of highlighting that the Americans share our principles and values those of inclusion, diversity and tolerance. I was particularly touched by his message of “embracing diversity as a strength”. Going forward we need to build our positive relationship with our most important trading partner.

West Carleton Food Bank Thank you to all those who volunteered for the ‘Load the Wagon’ event at the West Carleton Food Bank.

They do tremendous work on behalf of our community and I encourage everyone to donate where possible to meet the needs of those less fortunate.

Police board asks if street check rules go too far

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North CLOSURE OF KLONDIKE ROAD – between March and Sandhill tomorrow, Friday July 8th, from 12:50 pm – 1:50 pm. The closure is to enable the safe installation of a large precast box culvert due to the crane’s size that will be blocking the lanes of traffic. Short term bus and traffic detours will be implemented. Avoid this area if possible.

KANATA NORTH ANNUAL COMMUNITY PICNIC – Join me for midsummer fun at my annual Kanata North Picnic on July 20th from 4-8 pm in Sandwell Green Park (across from Earl of March High School). There’s lots of fun for all ages, including complimentary BBQ, snow cones & cotton candy, face painting, petting zoo, bouncy castle, kids’ activities, robotic demonstration, live entertainment, information from mosquitoes, the library and more! Bring your bike to try out the “Rack N’ Roll” demonstration by OC Transpo and donate non-perishable food items to the Kanata Food Cupboard.

CATTAIL MOSQUITOES AND THE KANATA NORTH NUISANCE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROGRAM – Thank you to the many, from all parts of the Ward, who have let me know how much they enjoy having fewer mosquitoes so they can finally enjoy their backyards, eat outside and encounter no mosquitoes rising out of the grass when they’re cutting it. I’m happy that the program is working so well and is so effective. There are 44 different species of mosquitoes in our area and Cattail Marsh mosquitoes are the only species that overwinter as larvae. These mosquitoes are most active late in the evening; they are very aggressive biters and are a noticeable nuisance. Since they can travel about 10 km (others travel 1-2 km), we may have some travel to Kanata as the treatment area is only 2km outside the boundary of the ward. If encountered use insect repellent, and avoid areas where they are active at night. Any mosquito inquires that my office receives are sent directly to the company in charge of the treatment program for immediate action. Please direct any questions/requests you may have to the company at info.mosquito@gdg.ca or at 1-877-227-0552.

GOOD NEWS FOR OC TRANSPO EXPRESS RIDERS – Last week City Council approved a report from the Transit Commission to eliminate the surcharge on express routes, effective January 2017.

This was done as they have finally agreed that express routes do not provide an advantage over regular routes and are not more costly to run. This means that routes can be planned now to fit the requirements when the LRT opens in 2018, including changes needed to serve our new Park n’ Ride at Innovation. I’m meeting with OC Transpo this week on the changes needed later this year to ensure a fast commute from the Park n’ Ride and will report on them in a later column.

BEAVERBROOK LIBRARY is a great place for your children this summer. They can join the summer Reading Club and take part in many activities and give their parents a break.

WINTER OPERATIONS are being reviewed by the City following a report on where efficiencies can be achieved. The concern I have is with changing the local road service from 7 cm to 10 cm of snow falling (major roads will not be changed). This will result in a snow build up which can change to soft ruts in a thaw. I’m discussing this issue with the City and will report back on the final recommendation by the Transportation Committee.

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

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

Some Autism Funding Restored The Ontario Government has finally listened to Opposition outcry against funding cuts for IBI treatment to help children with autism.

Parents will receive successive payments of $10,000 to either pay for therapy until their child has a spot in the new autism program or, if they prefer, until their child has access to less intensive government-funded services. This is a big win for these children and these families, and I am very proud to have stood with them throughout this ordeal.

Let’s Stay In Touch

The implementation of new street check regulations has some police board members questioning whether it goes too far and will obstruct future investigations.

Following a presentation about a provincial regulation banning random street checks – also known as carding, announced on March 22 – Coun. Jan Harder asked if the rules go too far.

“This is all nice that some bureaucrat and elected person in Ontario came up with this, but really we care about the people in this city. Has this gone too far?” Harder asked.

“I would not want us ever to be in a position where because someone needs to add some rules to make them feel better that we are doing something that isn’t in the best interests of the people of this city.

Ottawa police Insp. Mark Patterson said the new regulations, which outline when police can and cannot ask for identification during faceto-face encounters, only apply to random and arbitrary stops.

“The regulations are so strict, but it is manageable and it all comes back to the training component,” Patterson said. “We want to be sure … that we continue to do our job.”

Patterson said the checks remain an important tool for preventing and solving crimes.

The new regulations keep police from randomly stopping people for street checks based on a person’s race or presence in a high-crime area, Patterson said.

The regulations put conditions on face-to-face encounters where identifying information is collected under certain circumstances, including when investigating criminal activity in a community, inquiring into suspicious activities to detect offences or gathering information for intelligence purposes.

They don’t apply when officers are investigating a suspected offence or when one has been committed.

Board member Suzanne Valiquet asked whether police officers are still encouraged to use

their “spidey senses.”

Officers will have to remember the new protocols and that will change how they interact with people face-to-face, Patterson said.

“The officer has to remember if they are stopping a person, they have to have a reason for that; it’s not just suspicious activity,” he said.

During street checks, officers must inform the person of their right not to provide identification and provide a reason for the request – which can’t be arbitrary.

The request for ID cannot be based on the person declining to answer a question or attempting to get out of the interaction, or be based on race.

Those stopped in street checks must be offered a document with the officer’s name and badge number and police must take detailed records about each interaction.

Officers require training on the rules for the checks by Jan. 1, 2017.

The Ontario Police College is leading the design and development of the eight-hour training sessions, which will have to be renewed every three years.

All of the Ottawa police force’s 1,400 officers need training, with topics ranging from racism and discrimination to bias awareness and the right not to provide information. Training will be prioritized, beginning with front-line officers, Patterson said.

The regulation also outlines how obtained information is reviewed and managed. The chief of police must also compile an annual report of the number of times street checks were completed, demographic information and how many times it was found officers did not comply with the new rules.

Following the new rules will cost the police service, but how much is still unknown.

Director general of the police service Debra Frazer said the costs are unexpected because the regulations hadn’t been released when preparing this year’s budget. The costs are associated with training, information management and reporting.

“We will do our best to balance the budget, but this is the year of unexpected costs,” she said.

Residents pushing for stop sign on Stonehaven Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Despite residents’ concerns about traffic at the intersection of Stonehaven Drive and Sawyer Way, the city’s planning committee approved a 15-home subdivision on Scissons Road on June 28.

Kevin Ren, who lives in the area, said he’s been rear-ended going into the development and wants the city to install a traffic light or stop sign.

‘One of the reasons we moved to the suburbs was to avoid high density.’

RESIDENT STEVE HEMSTEAD

The residents, who have been championing a stop sign in the area for years, gathered more than 200 signatures in an attempt to get the stop sign, but the effort so far has been in vain.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the signatures weren’t all from people in the ward, and it couldn’t be proved they had any interaction with the area.

He said the development – put forward by Pegasus Development Corporation – shouldn’t make that much difference to traffic patterns.

“It’s less than 20 homes,” he said.

City staff have done “numerous” traffic studies in the area,

and there’s just not the business case for a stop sign, Hubley said, adding the average wait time to turn left is around three minutes.

But Ren said the proposal only allows for one exit and entry into the development, and he fears that it will become a problem for emergency vehicles.

Steve Hemstead, who lives on Sawyer Road, said that in the time he has lived in the area, traffic has increased immensely. He asked for reduced density – 11 homes instead of 15.

Hubley said he doubted that a refusal of the application would stand up to a challenge at the Ontario Municipal Board.

He also said the intersection is too close to that of Stonehaven and Old Richmond Road to add more traffic controls.

“In a few years we will be looking at a roundabout at Old Richmond, then maybe we can have another look at this intersection,” he said.

But Hemstead wasn’t satisfied with the response.

“One of the reasons we moved to the suburbs was to avoid high density,” he said.

The site is located on the west side of Scissons Road, north of the Sawyer Way intersection at the easterly edge of the Bridlewood community. It’s currently is made up of three privately serviced residential lots which have frontage of 117 metres on Scissons Road and a combined lot area of 0.73 hectares, according to the staff report. Two detached dwellings were demolished and the site is now vacant.

Council will have final approval on the application July 13.

Katherine Neff, executive director of the Roberts/Smart Centre, talks about the expansion of their Parent Group Therapy Program made possible by a $545,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. The announcement of the grant was made at the centre, located on Carling Avenue, on June 29.

For further information please call 613-233-1143 or email preplanning@hpmcgarry.ca

Parent group therapy a priority for mental health centre Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A $545,000 Trillium grant will allow the Roberts/Smart Centre to expand its parent group therapy program to 180 new families.

The announcement was made at the Carling Avenue children’s mental health centre on June 29.

“This is, for me, such a huge thrill,” said Katherine Neff, executive director of

the Roberts/Smart Centre.

“This will allow us to serve a whole additional group that’s not been served before.”

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the money will help support the centre, so it can better help young people.

“I’m confident this funding will go a long way to provide a solution and a better quality of life for our young people and their families every single day,” he said. “And

making sure these young people get the best opportunity to succeed in life.”

The funding will allow the centre to offer its programs to families across eastern Ontario who aren’t already clients of the centre, allowing the centre to “kick it up a notch,” said Ruth MacKenzie, part of the grant review committee for the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

First parent group workshops offered later this month Continued from page 26

“For us that’s what’s exciting; it’s a brand new service,” Neff said following the announcement.

‘They are calmer, they are more able to problem solve, they can talk about what they need to do in these kinds of situations – all things they couldn’t do when they got here.’

ROBERTS/SMART CENTRE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KATHERINE NEFF

The Collaborative Problem Solving parent group workshops help parents manage their child’s dif-

ficult behaviour, providing what Neff said is a lifelong tool.

“If you have a child or an adolescent whose behaviour is off-the-wall out of control, and you’ve tried everything … in trouble at school, potentially being brought home by police, those are the parents that can give us a call because what we are going to teach parents to do is to tackle managing that differently.”

The grant will allow a full-time staff member to administer the eight-week workshops and provide additional help to parents involved.

The first session will begin later this month, Neff said.

The staff at Roberts/ Smart Centre use the collaborative approach with the children and adolescents in their secure unit, as well as open units, and have been using the method for almost 10 years.

Although the centre is still working on collecting

data on the CPS model, Neff said she’s seen the positive outcomes firsthand.

“We find kids that are very aggressive and very assaultive; they slow themselves right down,” Neff said.

“They are calmer, they are more able to problem solve, they can talk about what they need to do in these kinds of situations – all things they couldn’t do when they got here.”

The approach moves away from a punishment model, like cutting curfews, allowances and other privileges.

“Kids will do well if they can, so we’re not into consequences … we are really into figuring out why you are doing this and then teaching you to do it differently,” Neff said.

Parents interested in the new service can contact Roberts/Smart for an application. More information will also become available on its website at robertssmartcentre.com.

Ottawa Public Health asks people to ‘check your drinking’ this summer One in five high school students report binge drinking in past month Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

For some of us, summer means beach days and barbecues, but for public health officials it could mean risky drinking.

Jackie Kay-LePors, a public health nurse in the health promotion unit of Ottawa Public Health, said people are more likely to imbibe when the weather is warm.

The stats around visits to emergency rooms appear to bear that out.

She said annually there are between 20-25 emergency room visits related to alcohol use each Canada Day, followed by 15-18 on Labour Day and 13-16 on Halloween.

“We try to promote responsible drinking around those times, as well as New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day and the May long weekend,” Kay-LePors said.

She said most visits are at the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital, followed by the Montfort Hospital. A small number are seen at CHEO or the Queensway Carleton hospital. KayLePors added those aged 1924 are at highest risk. The rate of ER visits in this age group is over twice that seen in the 25 to 44 age group.

Binge drinking, even if it’s a celebration, can lead to health problems and addiction issues down the road, she added.

By answering the questions at www2.checkyourdrinking. net, residents can find out how many calories they consume in drink form annually, as well as estimated monthly spending on alcohol, their risk factors and how they relate to the norm.

“The survey can also be the starting point to talking to your doctor,” Kay-LePors said, adding that the results can be emailed or printed out and given to your family doctor.

The city’s website has a section about alcohol and

METRO CREATIVE GRAPHIC

Ottawa Public Health warns Ottawans to check their drinking this summer. healthy living where a number of resources are available, including the check your drinking survey and Canada’s Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines.

The page ottawa.ca/en/residents/public-health/healthyliving/alcohol, also busts some myths about drinking.

Kay-LePors said one of the most common urban legends is that drinking red wine is actually good for you, because it lowers your blood pressure.

“That one is an interesting urban legend,” she said,

adding that studies show that small pockets of the population have shown some benefit, but when they put in all the control data, there’s no overall benefit to drinking.

“There is no health reason for someone to start drinking if they don’t already,” she said.

Despite the information about the risks around binge drinking, many people still engage in risky behaviour.

Public health has been tabulating the information from the surveys since beginning to promote it four years

ago. The numbers show that 73 per cent of young adult (25-35) reported heavy binge drinking over several months during the past year. KayLePors said that equals about 38,000 young men. Women in the same age range weren’t far behind, with 48 per cent, or 14,500 reporting the same thing.

More troubling, said KayLePors is that stats indicate one in five of the city’s high school students reported binge drinking in the past month. Not surprisingly, the same number reported having gotten drunk in the past month.

Approximately 2,000 have participated in the survey, Kay-LePors said.

The results will be made public sometime in July.

“One of the concerns for people under the age of 25 is that their brains are still developing and there’s more risk of permanent damage as a result of risky behaviours,” she said.

According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, which published Canada-

Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines in 2012, women should limit themselves to 10 drinks per week, and no more than two drinks per day.

Men should stick to 15 drinks per week, and no more than three drinks per day. The guide also suggests planning non-drinking days every week to avoid forming a habit.

There are physiological reasons for the different amount of drinks based on gender, said Kay-LePors.

“Women’s bodies contain more fatty tissue and less water, so even if a man and woman are the same weight, she metabolizes alcohol differently,” Kay-LePors said.

But if you must imbibe, be safe, she said.

SOME TIPS:

• Don’t have more than two drinks per hour.

• Drink slowly.

• Alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

• Plan a safe way to get home.

Coventry Connections to honour labour board decision Bargaining unit plates to be divvied up between Blue Line and Capital Taxi Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Marc André Way, the vice president of Coventry Connections, said staff at the taxi headquarters will be working to accommodate the 137 taxi drivers who drove under under the Airport Taxi banner.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board decision, published on June 27, proposes splitting the 137 plates between the Blueline and Capital Taxi.

Labour board vice chair Matthew Wilson made the decision following the case management hearing on June 21.

“In my view, as expressed to the parties with their consent that, given the fact that the work of the Ottawa Airport was divided between two taxi companies, the most appropriate and equitable way to resolve these matters was to have an appropriate division of plates and drivers between the two companies,” the decision reads.

The phase in of the drivers was to begin a week after the decision.

On the basis of seniority, which will be provided to Coventry and Metro by Unifor, the union that represents more than 2,500 of Ontario taxi operators, drivers will have the option of joining Blue Line, up to a maximum of 95. After that, the remaining plates will be given the option to join Capital Taxi.

“We are reviewing the decision and digesting the details,” Way wrote in an email.

“We will be accommodating the drivers over a 30 day period and will be honouring the decision of vice chair Wilson.”

The resolution is a long time in coming.

Unifor Local 1688 represented the airport taxi drivers bargaining unit until they went to work for Coventry Connections directly in December. This was after the union alleged the company had engaged in an illegal lockout in August.

As a result of the decision, cabbies picking up fares will have to pay $5 pick up fee – the very thing that sparked the strike in August.

That fee will increase to $5.05 by July 1, then $5.11 the next year and $5.16 in 2018.

Standard rents for the sign for drivers under the Blue Line banner will be reduced to $385 per month, the decision reads.

The strike action started Aug. 1 when drivers stopped paying their dispatch fees, but continued to pick up riders at the airport. By Aug. 11, Coventry said drivers who don’t pay their fees couldn’t pick up riders.

In December, the union claimed the dispute was settled when drivers went to work for Coventry directly.

A labour board decision on May 19 quotes an email from Harry Ghadban, the eastern Ontario director for Unifor, where he states the union abandoned his bargaining rights. “…This is notice that the union Unifor and its Local 1688 wholly and unconditionally abandons and renounces its rights as the bargaining agent for the bargaining unit…”

the email reads.

The union assumed the matter was resolved and the drivers would be working under the Blue Line roof sign.

“This has been a long and difficult dispute and I am proud of the dedication our members have shown throughout,” Ghadban said in a press release dated Dec. 15.

“All the members now hope the company can work with us and put the conflict aside so that we can concentrate our efforts on serving our customers. We have to cooperate to face the many other challenges facing

the industry.”

But Coventry didn’t agree with the representation, and challenged, and the dispute continued, with the union grieving what they termed an illegal lockout, and Coventry challenged the union’s standing to represent the airport taxi drivers since they dropped the union.

As a result of the most recent decision, the union has agreed to drop their other grievances.

Q: I want to become an entrepreneur and start a business. Should I incorporate now, or start as a sole proprietorship and delay incorporation to a later date?

Theadvisabilityofincorporationisdependentontheparticular facts and personal preferences of the entrepreneur. The role of the lawyer and other professional advisors is to help draw out the relevant facts and explore personal preferences to assist the entrepreneur in making the decision that is right for her. Some of the relevant factors include: Risk. Is the proposed business inherently risky? The shield of limited liability that an incorporated entity provides to the entrepreneur is an important benefit (note that the shield from liability is not absolute); Tax. A valuable attribute of an incorporated entity is the relatively low tax rate (approx. 16%) payable on the first $500,000 of net income. This allows a profitable incorporated entity to grow much quicker using internally generated working capital than a similar sole proprietorship where a marginal tax rate in excess of 50% of profits may be payable. An exception is where the sole proprietor has other sources of income and it is anticipated that the new About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm.

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.

business will suffer losses in the start-up year(s) – it may be possible to set off the losses against the other income and thus reduce the overall tax burden; Costs. Incorporation of the business at an early stage is less expensive than incorporation once the business is up and running. Once the business (sole proprietorship) is up and running it is generally necessary to use a “rollover” transaction to transfer the business from the sole proprietorship to the corporation.

Separate Existence. An incorporated entity has a legal existence separate and apart from the entrepreneur. This provides for a number of real and perceived benefits including (generally): broader alternatives for raising capital; easier salability of the business and possible availability of lifetime capital gains exemption to avoid tax on sale, continuous existence past the life of the entrepreneur, public perception of greater substance, and easier separation of personal and business dealings.

Para Transpo plans changes to eligibility criteria Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s Para Transpo service will widen its doors to include passengers with non-physical disabilities.

The transit commission approved a number of staff recommendations on June 27 that change the service delivery model.

The reaction from public delegations was mixed. Most were happy with the move to be more inclusive and accept passengers with intellectual disabilities, but took issue with contracted medical professionals making the call on their ability to use conventional OC Transpo service.

“No one is better able to assess my ability to use regular transit than me and my doctor,” Linda Paul said, adding most doctors are not familiar with her disease or its impact. “How can these doctors be aware of every potential ailment and how it impacts people to use conventional service?” she asked.

Long wait times one big issue Continued from page 31

Both Paul and Catherine Gardner said that Para Transpo service is inconvenient, citing booking issues and long wait times.

“I really don’t think there’s people abusing the system,” Paul said. “If people can use conventional service, I think they would.”

OC Transpo GM John Manconi said the decision to use contracted medical professionals, as a tool to review the applications was not about putting customers on the spot.

“OC Transpo staff are not healthcare professionals,” Manconi said, adding that contracting out the expertise makes sense.

Pat Scrimgeour, assistant general manger of customer systems and planning, said the bulk of applications will be approved based on the

paperwork provided by the client, it’s only in the case of a question that an in-person assessment should take place.

Applicants should renew their eligibility every three years, the report recommends, as the transit system changes and can better suit the needs of clients with mobility issues.

The use of contracted medical professionals should be a “minor expense” Scrimgeour said, and should be covered under Para Transpo’s existing budget.

The report estimates there will be 5,000 customer contacts per year, which Scrimgeour said will probably represent a cost of $250,000.

Para Transpo’s annual budget is $33 million LATE CANCELLATIONS

Another set of changes

will be around the process for late cancellations and no shows. Scrimgeour said that annually there are 25,000 late cancellations and 100,000 no shows. There are 13,000 customers and 800,000 trips annually.

Under the new system, those customers would be contacted and there would be a demerit system.

“The last we wanted to do was to bring recommendations that would put pressure on the budget,” Manconi said, adding the plan is a good balance.

“We need to take care of each other as a community and make sure all the options are used,” he said, adding Ottawa is the first North American city to have a fully-accessible transit fleet.

City council will have to approve the recommendations before they are implemented.

Grannies train for 265-km cycle for African grandmothers Over the past few weeks, Grassroot Grannies and friends have been training for their challenging fundraising cycle, The Ride to Turn The Tide. Their objective is to raise funds and awareness for African Grandmothers who have lost their own children to AIDS and are now raising their grandchildren with few resources.

All of this training will be put to use on September 7th when 23 cyclists and 4 support people leave from Bushtukah, Hazeldean Road.

Over the next 2 1/2 days, the participants will pass through the communities of Almonte, Perth, Merrickville, and Metcalfe. Along the way, they will be warmly welcomed with food and friendship by other Granny and church groups.

On September 9th, a “Welcome Home” celebration will be held at Bushtukah, Richmond Road, Westboro, starting at approximately 1:15. An invitation is extended to the public to join this celebration.

Some of the Grandmothers & grand-others, have been with the Ride since it started seven years ago. Each year, the group dynamics change and new riders are welcomed. Paula Marinigh is looking

forward to her first Ride Event this year. Janet White has been participating in the Ride for the past 4 years. “I always look forward to getting together with so many of these inspirational ladies. They encourage me to keep the faith even when there are set backs.”

Judy Laughton adds: “I always enjoy the camaraderie with fellow riders and meeting and encouraging those new people embarking on their first Granny ride. Most important is that we are exercising in an activity we love doing while also helping our peers, the African grandmothers, in overcoming the many challenges they face every day. I also wish to thank Nancy Hough for her excellent organizational skills.”

In the past 6 years, the Ride has generated $265,000 which has been donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. This money has been used to initiate community-based projects which help African women gain greater autonomy over their lives.

For further information or to make a donation, please visit: www. grassrootgrannies.com

SUBMITTED

Twenty-three cyclists will leave from Bushtukah on Hazeldean Road on Sept. 7. Over the next few days, the participants will pass through the communities of Almonte, Perth, Merrickville, and Metcalfe.

Muggles duke it out on local Quidditch pitch Major League Quidditch comes to Ottawa Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa got a dose of just what Major League Quidditch is all about.

The Ottawa Black Bears squared off against the Boston Night Riders on July 2 at Matt Antony Field in Sandy Hill. The threeseries match saw the Black Bears face tough American competition, but the Bears managed to keep the other Muggles at bay in a game originally created for J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series.

The game emulates that of the novels, with players “riding” brooms and attempting to score on three hoops at the end of the pitch. Adapted 10 years ago

Felix Tremblay sets his sights on a bludger in an effort to knock out an opposing team member during the Ottawa Black Bears quidditch match. from the rules in the Harry Potter books, it's a co-ed contact sport that incorporates elements of basketball, rugby and dodgeball.

Major League Quidditch is a national league that formed in 2015 and runs from June 1 to Aug. 31.

The inaugural season features eight teams from the eastern United States and Canada, and included the Bears – the only team in the

league outside the U.S. This year the league added eight new teams from the southern and western states and on Aug. 20 and 21 League City, Texas will host all 16 teams and crown a champion at the second Major League Quidittch Championship weekend.

The Night Riders are the defending league champions and are a favourite to win the title again in August.

Charity recipients named for 2016 Ottawa police gala Evening soiree serves as a thank you to officers Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The power of a gala does not surprise Michael Sangster.

Over the past six years, the Ottawa Police Service Gala – an evening of dinner, dancing, live entertainment, keynote speeches and auctions – has generated $545,000.

The swanky evening, scheduled to take place this year on Nov. 5 at the Shaw Centre, draws community and corporate leaders, police officers and city councillors, among others.

“I like to think people want to stop for a moment and recognize the police,” Sangster said of the event’s popularity.

“There’s (many) galas to choose from and I think we’re creating something special here that supports local charities.

“I love that while they’re having a great evening and a great party, they’re continuing to

make a difference in our community at the same time,” he said on June 22, the day this year’s charitable recipients were officially announced.

“It’d be easy to have a big party and call it the police gala, but they turned it into a fundraiser that has raised over half a million dollars in six years.”

Funds raised through the sale of donated auction items, corporate sponsorships and ticket sales this year will go to support the Distress Centre of Ottawa and Region, a 24-hour service in which trained volunteers answer almost 50,000 calls annually from people in need.

The Youville Centre will also benefit, giving it the financial boost it needs to continue supporting adolescent mothers and their children, by offering a range of services, from post-secondary education and parenting courses to addiction counselling and child-development programs.

Last year’s gala generated $85,000, which was split beOTTAWA POLICE IMAGING SERVICES/SUBMITTED tween the Ottawa Food Bank Ottawa police Supt. Don Sweet, left, was the master of ceremonies at the 2015 Ottawa Police Service Gala that See CELEBRATORY, page 44

attracted hundreds of attendees and generated $85,000 for charity. Proceeds from this year’s event, scheduled for the Shaw Centre on Nov. 5, will benefit the Distress Centre of Ottawa and Region and the Youville Centre.

Celebratory evening doubles as charity fundraising event Continued from page 43

and Ottawa Caring and Sharing Exchange, which assists Ottawa residents and families at Christmas and during the back-to-school

season.

The upcoming gala will be the second to support two charities at once, doubling the impact, said Sangster.

“The need is great,” he said.

The celebratory evening is also an opportunity for the community “to stop and recognize the men and women of the Ottawa police force and what they do for our community …

those thousands of acts of humanity, of generosity to people on the street — the most vulnerable people on the street,” Sangster said.

Policing is about more than boots on the ground and law and order, and the gala is a way to say thank you, though the majority of officers with the department are unable to attend.

“The irony is many of them can’t come to the gala because they’re out on the street serving the community,” said Sangster.

It takes about 50 volunteers, many of them officers, to put on the event. The selected charities also get in-

volved, helping to make the event a huge success.

“They become part of it,” said Sangster. “And we’ve managed to pick charities

Students welcome plans to boost Canada-Mexico exchanges first time Algonquin College has participated in the program.

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

More Canadian and Mexican students will soon be able to dust off their passports as travelling between the two nations on exchange is expected to become easier and lead to more work experience.

That announcement, made jointly by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto on June 28, gives Alan Iniestra optimism for the future.

“They showed that they are really engaged, to work between these countries,” said the Mexican university student, who is studying English as a second language at Algonquin College.

“That’s pretty interesting for us Mexicans because we need to improve our education,” Iniestra said after joining several dozen other university and college students for a question-andanswer session with the two leaders at the Canadian Museum of Nature on June 28. Peña Nieto’s State visit with Trudeau was held in the lead-up to the North American Leaders’ Summit on June 29 with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Iniestra is spending a month here to become immersed in Canadian culture and improve his language skills as part of Project 10,000, a student and faculty scholarship program sponsored by Mexico’s government. This marks the

OPPORTUNITIES

The hope is that such a program will be offered in Mexico for Canadian students, said Iniestra.

Through that, Canadian students “... will see that Mexico is not a bad country because most of the people think that there is violence,” he said. “They are going to be able to see the opportunities that are in my country.”

That same day, Trudeau and Peña Nieto signed a

new bilateral agreement designed to allow more students to gain valuable work and training experience.

As part of that deal, up to 20 Mexican graduate students and 20 Canadian graduate students will be able to travel to the other country to take part in 16to 24-week research projects with industry partners.

Iniestra said this improved level of cooperation bodes well for students, their future careers, and ultimately for both countries in the long term.

Turmoil was a symptom of special visitor’s arrival

T

he house was in a turmoil again.

The whole place was upside down.

Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant!

Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up.

All because Father’s

sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit.

She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing.

Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farmwife material, coming from New York and all.

Mother was out to prove her wrong!

Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen.

That meant the bedroom, which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using

CAT OF THE WEEK LOVABLE HUGGABLE “PUTTER” A young gentlemen... the most loving, cuddly, friendly, adorable, happy, playful, gorgeous... I can go on and still would not finish to describe him enough… He is ready to be adopted... he is looking forward to meet his for ever family... Come and meet him and hold him in your arms and feel the soft gentle heart which beats in him. He would fit in very easily into a loving family. Gets along with felines - matter of fact he has a very good buddy; hoping he can take him along. Seeing is believing come and meet the boys.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper.

This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me.

The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives.

Audrey said we wouldn’t be going to that much trouble if the Queen of England was coming!

The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down with sticky buns, homemade bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers.

Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming.

Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie wouldn’t like being

paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses.

So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our next-to-Sunday best clothes too.

The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow.

Little paper dolls

Classic bacon cheddar burger

Continued from page 46

inch (1 cm) thick burgers. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat.

Grill covered, turning burgers once, until thermometer reads 160°F (71°C) inserted sideways into centre of each burger, about 12 minutes. Top each with remaining cheese and grill to melt slightly. Transfer burgers to plate; tent with foil. Toast buns on grill; cut side down. In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and remaining garlic; spread on toasted buns. Sandwich lettuce, burger, tomato, onion and bacon in buns.

Cooking tips: To prevent burgers from puffing up during cooking, make a shallow depression in centre of each burger using two knuckles.

Celebrate Canadian summer with these juicy burgers topped with Cheddar cheese, smoky bacon and fresh vegetables. You can make these all beef or all veal, the choice is yours.

Preparation time: 15 minutes Grilling time: about 13 minutes Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg • 2 tbsp (25 mL) water • 2 small cloves garlic, pressed • 1/4 cup (50 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1 tsp (5 mL) each dry mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper • 8 oz (250 g) each lean ground beef and veal • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded aged cheddar cheese • 4 whole wheat burger buns • 1/4 cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise • 4 lettuce Leaves • 1 large Ontario Tomato, sliced • Sliced red onion • 4 slices cooked bacon, cut in half

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:

In large bowl, with fork, beat egg and water; stir in half of the pressed garlic, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Gently mix in beef, veal and 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the cheese.

Divide meat mixture into four equal-sized balls and shape into 1/2-

When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us.

My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the little cardboard dolls.

I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting!

I didn’t care about all the work we had to go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote.

I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina.

Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart!

NCC approves redesign for Ottawa’s union station Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

After years of being offlimits or having extremely limited access, the Government Conference Centre will once again be open to the public in 2018.

The National Capital Commission’s board of directors voted in favour of a

final redesign for the building located at 2 Rideau St. at its monthly meeting on June 28.

The renovations and upgrades will at first house the Senate of Canada in 2018, when the Red Chamber’s current home in the Centre Block of Parliament Hill undergoes upgrading and reconstruc-

tion. The Senate would remain there for 10 years, at which point the building would then be repurposed as a conference centre.

Lead design architect Christopher Hoyt presented the plans to the NCC board.

Senate to move to old train station in 2018 Continued from page 48

Likening the building to New York’s famous Penn Station, Hoyt said the building was absolutely stunning inside and the goal remains to reveal and celebrate the building’s original Beaux-Arts design.

The public will gain access to the building in the form of guided tours. Once it reopens, Hoyt explained the plan is for security screening taking place on Rideau Street, before entering.

No definitive plans have been made, but Hoyt said there is the possibility of a boat tours booth to be converted into the outdoor screening process.

The other option is for another pavilion to be built to handle pre-registration and screening before entering the building, where a second screening would take place at a newly built security post.

Senators will access the chamber from the south entrance, by either private cars or a shuttle bus.

‘New components can be removed without damage to the heritage building.’

LEAD DESIGN ARCHITECT CHRISTOPHER HOYT

New committee rooms will be located off the main hallway, updates include offering universal access as well as a new stairwell at one end of the building and the original marble floor will be restored.

“I can see them easily be a component of a conference centre, but it is hard to predict 15 years down the road.”

firm, Ross and MacFarlane, which also designed the Chateau Laurier across the street and Toronto’s Union Station.

The train station remained in operation for both Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railway until 1966.

The building was designated a heritage building in 1989.

Before approving the redesign, the board was interested in the longerterm use of the building, once the Senate moves back to the original Red Chamber.

Hoyt explained that the aim is that the conversion will be easy, with committee rooms capable of being removed if necessary, but added that event conference centres do tend to have the need for smaller rooms be available for use.

An east façade will be constructed, which Hoyt called an elegant new addition to the capital.

Plans to redo the Rideau/Sussex node at the corner of the property is still under discussion, and is something Hoyt said would be a collaboration effort with the city, adding he would like to see a public space that enables rather than hinders – referencing the current dingy, below grade space, which connects pedestrians to the Rideau Centre.

According to the public works department’s website, the Government Conference Centre was first opened by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1912 as Ottawa’s central train station, Union Station, and was designed in the BeauxArts style by New Yorkbased architect Bradford Lee Gilbert before being taken over by a Montreal

Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto, left, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, answer questions posed by post-secondary students during an education-themed question-andanswer session at the Canadian Museum of Nature on June 28.

Partnership could boost understanding Continued from page 45

There are already more than 400 partnerships between Canadian and Mexican higher-learning institutions, and both governments have scholarships available that are designed to attract students from the other country, the Government of Canada said in a statement.

The federal government makes available 75 to 100 scholarships annually for Mexican post-secondary students to study or do research here for up to six months, as part of the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program.

When asked how their nations’ newly enhanced educational partnership will benefit Canadian and Mexican students and academics, Trudeau told the approximately 75 people who gathered for the museum event that “the more we can challenge ourselves to understand different realities, different perspectives, different cultures, the more we discover about ourselves and our place in an increasingly complex world.”

Developing skills through hands-on experience will benefit young people, communities and the companies that today’s students will eventually work for and even estab-

lish, he said.

“We have to do a better job of allowing young people to develop the tools that they’re going to need to deal with a future that’s going to be very different,” said Trudeau.

Students taking part in the question-and-answer session asked several different questions, ranging from the Trans-Pacific Partnership to English-language opportunities for students in Mexico.

“If I want to better my level of English in Mexico, why not make it available to all levels – preparatory, secondary – not only to better the English level, but also to curb the dropping out of school,” one student said, directing his comments to Peña Nieto in Spanish.

English is an indispensable language, agreed Mexico’s president.

“We want the new generations to have this opportunity,” he said, also in Spanish, adding that Mexico’s education system is in the process of undergoing reform to better equip and prepare future generations of students.

Peña Nieto also clarified the reasons for his country’s dropout rates, saying some students may be forced to quit school due to financial constraints.

However, he said his government has almost doubled the number of post-secondary scholarships in order to improve access.

“We are bettering the conditions and economic supports to avoid (dropping out) of school,” Peña Nieto said.

BY THE NUMBERS:

ROUTES AVAILABLE!

• More than 5,000 Mexican students were in Canada in 2015 on a study permit of six months or longer. That makes Mexico the 10th largest source of international students for Canada, according to the Canadian government.

• Since 2009, almost 600 Mexican students have studied and conducted research in Canada under a governmentsponsored scholarship program.

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

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:

• Canada has agreed to lift the visa restriction for visiting Mexicans beginning Dec. 1.

• By October, Mexico will allow Canadian beef and beef products into that country.

• The leaders also signed two memorandums of understanding related to public safety and security.

We’re looking for Carriers to deliver our newspaper!

Three Amigos commit to improve environment Erin McCracken and Nevil Hunt erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Within an hour of U.S. President Barack Obama’s arrival in Ottawa came the day’s first announcement on climate, clean energy and the environment, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Obama met at the National Gallery.

The Three Amigos agreed on June 29 upon a goal of achieving 50-per-cent clean power generation for North America by 2025, a level that Canada already achieves but Mexico and the U.S. do not.

As a result, it’s expected to boost Canada‘s hydro power exports.

CLEANING UP

The three nations also plan to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 40 to 45 per cent by 2025.

By the same year, the leaders have committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.

PHOTOS BY NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto, left, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama met at the National Gallery of Canada for the North America Leaders’ Summit in Ottawa on June 29. Several agreements were announced during the day-long Three Amigos event, including clean-energy targets.

Building on the environmental aspects of the threenation summit, the leaders committed to accelerating deployment of clean vehicles within government fleets, and encouraging investment in

Hi! My name is Nelly. I am almost two years old and I love nothing more than lounging in the sun. My favourite time of the day is when I get to go for walkies with my sister Ruca who is also a pug and my brother Luke the golden retriever.

Sometimes when I snore at night I wake the whole house up and get kicked off the bed, but I always sneak back on after my parents fall asleep.

“The residents of Ottawa Centre care about climate change,” McKenna told Metroland Media following the summit. She pointed to a “packed meeting” on climate change, held April 28 at the Glebe Community Centre, as evidence of local support.

“You can see the concrete action (in the agreement),” she said.

“We are helping keep temperature (increases) below two degrees, and that’s the goal.”

She said the move to clean energy will “create good jobs,” and she agreed it would be a positive move if more countries signed on to the trilateral climate document, including Central and South America.

“We’re looking where we can do more,” McKenna said.

A renewed and stronger relationship between Canada and the U.S. was at the heart of Obama’s speech in the House of Commons during his visit.

“We are stronger together than we are apart,” Trudeau said before introducing his U.S. counterpart, who was greeted by thunderous applause and cheers in the packed Commons and press galley.

At times funny (“Michelle now refers to my hair as the Great White North”) and also poignant, Obama’s remarks also featured an underlying message urging Canada to play a more significant military role in NATO. He also touched on the dependence national economies have on the global supply chain.

“Restricting trade or giving into protectionism in this 21st Century economy will not work,” Obama said. “Even if we wanted to, we can’t seal ourselves off to the rest of the world.”

In addition to highlighting the “extraordinary alliance” Canada and the U.S. benefit from, Obama touched on a wide range of topics: the realities of climate change, aboriginal issues, Syrian refugees, and the role that Canada and the U.S. have to play as leaders in global investment and that it will lead to future prosperity in developing nations, helping foster global security and combat disease.

“We Americans can never say it enough: We cannot ask for a better friend or ally than Canada,” Obama said. “And we do not take it for granted.”

Security was also front and centre.

“Certainly, we are more secure when we stand united against terrorist networks and ideologies that reach to the very doorstep of this hall,” he said.

Obama also shared a pointed message about global security issues, such as Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine, and the need for countries to stand united in defence of our collective security.

He highlighted the need for economic sanctions, investment in new technological capabilities and keeping military forces at the ready.

“And as your ally and as your friend, let me say, that we’ll be more secure when every NATO member, including Canada, contributes its full share to our common security,” he said, drawing applause.

“Because the Canadian Armed Forces are really good, and if I can borrow a phrase, the world needs more Canada. NATO needs more Canada. We need you.”
