Bridlewood resident named high school athletic co-ordinator Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Long-time A.Y. Jackson Secondary School physical education teacher and athletic director Cheryl Hyndman had her own graduation of sorts at the end of June.

The 18-year veteran of the Kanata high school – 30 years altogether with

the school board – is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association.

“It’s a good transition for me into retirement and I’ll still have that connection to the school,” said Hyndman.

Sens new ‘fan deck’ offers upgrade Ottawa Senators still plan to move arena to LeBreton Flats: Leeder Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Although the Ottawa Senators have long-term plans to move to LeBreton Flats, club president Cyril Leeder announced renovations to the

Canadian Tire Centre on July 11 to include a “fan deck” on the second level.

The Molson Canadian Fan Deck will be a gathering place with a large bar area as well as seating with in-seat service, bar top seats and two suites,

said Leeder.

“We’re still committed to the long term, moving downtown, but that’s going to take some time and we need to continue to invest in the building here,” he said.

If the fan deck is successful at the CTC, a future arena will offer more opportunities for similar spaces, said Leeder.

“It helps us stay current with the current trends in the

Renovations on the Molson Canadian Fan Deck on the second level of the Canadian Tire Centre are underway. The seating and bar area is a way for the arena to stay current with the rest of the league, said Sens president Cyril Leeder.

league,” he said. “If this really works out there’s more of these spaces in a new building.”

Stewart Glendinning, Molson Coors Canada president and CEO, said similar seating in other arenas has been extremely successful. In Denver, where the beverage company’s headquarters is located, a baseball stadium implemented a fan deck to sell more tickets for the top level of the building.

“It’s the one place in the baseball field where today you can never get a seat,” said Glendinning. “I’m thrilled to see this fan deck coming to the Sens arena. What you’re going to see is the most prized place to watch hockey.”

Tickets for fan deck seating are half sold out to season ticket holders, said Leeder.

Located in sections 214 to 216, the fan deck will have 264 seats – 168 of them premium seating, 14 bar top loges and two suites. There will be TV sets, a lounge area, and the fan deck offers in-seat service where attendees can run a tab.

“Fans can come in because there’s going to be a large bar area – even if you don’t have seats in that zone you can come in from the main concourse to access it,” said Leeder.

The cost of the renovation isn’t being released.

“It’s a big project. We’re not releasing the amount of dollars – but it’s a significant addition to the building,” said Leeder.

The fan deck announcement Monday was one of many. The Molson Canadian Sens Army Headquarters program, which currently features more than 100 bars and

restaurants, will expand into Gatineau and Quebec, “with unique and experiential programs and onsite applications for our fans,” said Leeder.

The beverage company will also be the lead partner in Sens alumni events and will be one of the premiere sponsors of the Senators 25th anniversary season, beginning in 2017.

Events will take place to correspond with Canada’s 150th celebrations, the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup and the centennial of the NHL. Leeder said more events will be announced in the weeks ahead.

Economic growth looks bright for Ottawa Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Director of economic development and innovation Saad Bashir says the city’s economic future is looking bright.

The city still boasts lower vacancy rates in office buildings than its Canadian counterparts, Bashir told the

city’s finance and economic development committee on July 5.

Unemployment sits at 6.3 per cent, which is pretty much on par with the national average of 6.8 per cent.

Ottawa’s gross domestic product was $65 billion last year, falling only behind Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver,

Edmonton and Calgary.

But what we lack in cash, we make up for in quality of life, Bashir said, adding Ottawa compares well with other G20 capitals.

Local economic growth dipped from 2009 until 2014, based mostly on the layoffs of government workers, Bashir said. But the report presented to the com-

mittee shows an upswing in 2015 and 2016 that brings us more in line with the provincial average.

The bulk of tourists, or 82 per cent, come from Canada. International visitors only represent 13.1 per cent of the city’s tourism.

Overall the outlook is positive. The Conference Board of Canada forecasts 2.1 per cent growth for Ottawa-Gatineau in 2017.

But Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the city has to be careful to keep the momentum going, and not end

up with a 2017 hangover, alluding to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations that are expected to draw more visitors to the capital.

The key to success is momentum in the tourism sector and industry diversification, Bashir said.

The police services board received its annual report on June 27, it shows the crime rate, calculated per 100,000, went down 2 per cent between 2014 and 2015.

Crime rate down in Ottawa, but violent crime up Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

The crime rate might be going down, but instances of violent crime are up in the City of Ottawa.

The police services board received its annual report at a meeting on June 27, showing the crime rate, calculated per 100,000 people, went down two per cent between 2014 and 2015. But according to the crime severity index – a measure of police reported crime reflecting the seriousness of offences – violent crime was up 7.3 per cent.

Board member Sandy Smallwood questioned the difference during the meeting.

“I’m at a loss for why we are seeing that change,” he said. “Is this a trend?

Why are we seeing this flip?”

Deputy Chief Jill Skinner explained that to be a trend, the occurrence would have to be seen over three consecutive years.

“It’s driven by increases in attempted murders, robberies, assaults, sexual violations and abduction offences,” Skinner said.

“Additionally, the increases in non-violent crimes that carry more serious sentences added to that outcome.”

Repeat offenders who re-

ceive longer sentences also contribute to the increase seen on the crime severity index she said.

“We have seen more violence and more guns, although over 2015 it has dropped slightly,” Skinner said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the police board, cautioned board members not to read too much into the report.

“I’d be very careful about how you interpret this. We live in a safe city and police are doing a good job,” Harder said.

“Our stats are excellent.”

Comparing 2014 and 2015

• Homicides: there were seven reported homicide incidents in both 2014 and 2015 • Attempted murder: 30 per cent increase • Robbery: 16.2 per cent increase • Assaults: 0.9 per cent increase • Sexual violations: 7 per cent increase • Abductions: 8.4 per cent increase • Break and enters: 9.8 per cent increase • Arson: 19.2 per cent decrease • Fraud: 16.7 per cent increase • Mischief: 11.6 per cent decrease • Total drug offences: 6.7 per cent decrease

• Total traffic offences: 1.7 per cent increase • Total calls for service: 1.8 per cent decrease The report also includes information about the service’s use of force. According to the report, use of force went down 4.5 per cent between 2014 and 2015.

Police firearms were discharged 31 times in 2015, down from 51 times in 2014. Officers drew their guns 237 times in 2015, down from 283, representing a 29 per cent decrease.

The report also indicates the Ottawa police victim crisis unit was called in 79 per cent more often than in 2014.

They responded to 5,530 calls in 2015.

The city’s top five concerns, according to a public survey are distracted driving (86 per cent), speeding/ aggressive driving (80 per cent), gangs (79 per cent), drugs/dealers (76 per cent) and youth crime (74 per cent).

The survey, which polled 4,328 people, found 82 per cent of citizens are satisfied with the quality of the police service.

The police have also released statistics by ward.

Another less popular part of summer is the construction.

While this year has less projects than the previous years as our infrastructure is in much better condition now, there is still disruption to your daily life when your street is being transformed by a project. I want to assure you that I build a good relationship with the project managers and contractors to ensure I am updated regularly on progress and challenges.

Every year we do what we can to reduce the impacts on you by shortening the timeline where possible, by allowing longer hours and working together to review each piece of a project for impacts. Last year we worked with the project team to speed up the work on the Monahan Drain so we could reopen the pathways quicker and get the noisy pumps turned off sooner! This year, we asked the contractor to stop work near Holy Trinity during exams but that means they have to make up time elsewhere.

Parkticipate Program

This summer the City of Ottawa is offering a new FREE program for children called Parkticipate (formerly Art in the Park). The sessions will take place every Thursday from 10:30am -11:30am at the Kanata Leisure Centre, 70 Aird Place (beside the front entrance – patio/Picnic Area/Grassy Hill). The Activities include Arts and Crafts, theme days and Drowning prevention education. For more information please call 613-591-9283 x 306.

Back Flow Valve

I would like to remind residents who have back flow valves installed in their homes to inspect your valves yearly to ensure that they are maintained and in proper working order. Details on your specific model can be found online.

For more information regarding Back flow valves please visit www.ottawa.ca Castlefrank Complete Street

Thank you to all who have provided their feedback regarding the possible changes to Castlefrank Road to convert it to a complete street. The consultation period has now ended and I will provide an update to residents in the coming weeks.

Details regarding this proposed project can be found on my website.

Cheryl Hyndman, a long-time teacher at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, shows off the top athlete trophy named in her honour and the Peter Lake Award she was presented with at the end of the school year. Hyndman is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA).

A.Y. Jackson teacher will be missed: co-workers Continued from page 1

Hyndman will be responsible for all high-school sports in the west end of the city.

Her coverage area includes schools in Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Stittsville and West Carleton in the four boards (English and French public and Catholic) as well as private schools.

“I’m very fortunate. I have a job I absolutely love. I learn something new every single day,” said the Bridlewood resident. “For me it’s about the kids.”

Hyndman’s name will live on at A.Y. after students had the top-athlete award renamed in her honour.

She was surprised with the trophy at the school’s end-ofyear banquet.

“The whole event, I was just in tears the entire time,” said Hyndman. “It was the kids’ idea. It’s cool; you walk past the trophy case and there it is.”

She was also presented with the Peter Lake Sportsmanship Award – usually reserved for students – for outstanding leadership, sportsmanship and unselfishness at the end-ofyear banquet. The award was also presented to student Destiny Scheel.

The Cheryl Hyndman Athlete of the Year Award was presented to four students: seniors Thao Dao and Ian Tracy, and juniors Emily Zhao and Tyler

Known as the “school mom,” Hyndman has been integral in helping athletes thrive and keeping the student body active. She’s led numerous sports teams to OFSSAA – the provincial finals and championships for high school students – but for her the main goal was always to have fun and be active.

“A hundred per cent effort is more important than how good you are,” she said. “I just want them to come and have fun.”

Hyndman was described by a number of her co-workers as welcoming, positive, organized and passionate.

but also realizes they’re kids. A lot of them refer to her as the school mom – that wouldn’t happen unless they knew she cared about them,” said Cindy Arnott, who’s worked at A.Y. for 25 years.

“Cheryl has benefitted our school through her unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Her positive attitude and seemingly endless energy have allowed her to be involved in too many activities and initiatives to list,” said physical education teacher Chris Layer, who’s worked with Hyndman for 21 years.

“Her open door policy makes the phys ed department a safe space for so many students. Her office is always filled with students coming to say hi or looking for advice … They know Cheryl is always there for them when they need it,” said dance teacher Katie Hill.

“Cheryl is the heart of AYJ. The school will be a very different place without Ms. Hyndman in the hallway. We are so proud of her but will miss her dearly.”

Hyndman said the move is bittersweet. She'll miss teaching, but as the athletic co-ordinator she’ll still be able to visit the school and attend A.Y.’s games.

“It’s a really nice community school,” she said. “For a small school we have a big punch.”

Cultivating a team in the workplace

I

’ve had the opportunity to work with many different sizes and types of businesses, across many different industries.

Sometimes, relations with clients go smoothly.

Other times, for reasons that are hard to pinpoint, I can’t seem to gel with a particular person on the team. That’s normal, right?

As my mom used to say, “you can’t please all the people all the time.”

Whether you’re a parent, a coach, a supervisor or a business owner, however, having friction on your team can have a big impact on outcome. What if you could cultivate a team that worked together well, if not all the time, then most of the time?

American author and business consultant Patrick Lencioni may have the answer. In his 2016 book, “The Ideal Team Player,” Lencioni tells the anecdote of a construction firm with a newly-minted and very green chief operating officer, a history of workplace friction, and a need to rapidly hire 60 employees to resource two new public contracts.

The COO is shocked when the human resources manager says that, in order to increase staff by 60, the organization must recruit and hire at least 80

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse individuals. Concerned by the 30-per cent turnover rate, the COO starts to examine why the company has failed to retain good people, especially those in hard-to-staff positions like foremen.

The executive team make a collective decision that, to avoid the high turnover rate, they need to identify and cultivate the essential qualities of good team players. They analyze existing and recentlydeparted employees, they analyze each other, they analyze themselves.

They realize that team players share three essential virtues: Smart, hungry and humble.

Smart is a characteristic of emotional intelligence, regarding social interaction. It’s about how team players interact with those around them.

Do they understand how to relate to different people, in different

situations? Do they know when to speak and when to be quiet? People who are aware of the importance of interpersonal reactions are more likely to be tuned into the needs of those around them and to respond accordingly. passion

Hungry is about passion for the work. Most people have had the experience of working on a team, only to discover there’s one person that does the bare minimum to get by, right? It’s not that the individual isn’t meeting expectations, but that he’s not demonstrating any sort of willingness to go above and beyond.

Team players, says Lencioni, have a fire in their bellies. They embrace the work they’re doing with a hunger to always do their best, to exceed expectations, where possible, making them more likely

to work autonomously, to find innovative solutions to challenges that arise, and to inspire those around them.

The third characteristic, humble, is the one the anecdotal COO has the hardest time recognizing. But it’s important. The best team players – and the best leaders – are respectful of the people they’re working with and they’re willing to admit when they’ve made mistakes. Essentially, they leave their egos at the door.

Being humble, Lencioni explains, makes others on the team confident to speak up when there’s a problem, to criticize and to find creative solutions. The team member that treats her colleagues the same way she would the CEO is the one

that’s humble. The executive that treats his equals well, but his administrative assistant poorly lacks humility that contributes to team work. The team player that can’t recognize and own up to failure will have a very difficult time learning from mistakes and moving on.

It sounds overly simplistic, but time and again the anecdotal executive team comes to realize that two

of the qualities are not enough to make a good employee. I’m not a big believer that these virtues are necessarily personality traits. Often, people’s worst qualities show up when they’re stressed, in the wrong job or simply don’t like their teammates.

But at least, as a business owner and as a parent, I have a hint of what essential virtues to cultivate in myself and in my team.

Take time to get hospital right

T

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus should be located.

It’s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret.

The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird – the local liaison with the NCC – seemed content to ignore those voices.

The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people – some who live nearby and some from far away.

This was not a case of NIMBY-ism.

Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another “good cause” could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field.

The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November.

While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided.

Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers.

The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created – distant from the Civic – there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team.

A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up.

There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion – potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa.

But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

I

t’s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much.

Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldn’t mind silence for a while.

But that’s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, it’s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano out in the lobby of an

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town important government building for just anyone to sit down and play. What an odd thing to do, but it symbolizes, to me, a spirit of openness that is rare at any level of government.

Whoever is making decisions like that at city hall deserves our praise, even if the piano doesn’t always sound that great. And most of the time it does. The nicest thing about it is that nobody has to sign anything to play it. In an over-regulated society, nobody is regulating it.

It is a totally unbureaucratized

piano.

Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue.

Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms.

If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio. You might do that while your parents are wandering through the city hall art gallery, a much-overlooked institution that puts on exhibitions of high quality throughout the

year and at no charge to the public. Openness to the arts is another welcome feature.

Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy.

It seems a no-brainer that the home of local government should be a place where citizens feel at home but most of us know how rare in fact this is.

The entitlement must continue?

To the editor,

Your editorial (“Drivers keep feeling the squeeze,” June 30) implies that drivers are hard done by; that they have an innate right to drive wherever and whenever they want.

Comparing drivers to smokers who are both picked on by society is ludicrous. Smoking has no redeeming qualities yet it costs society immensely. Driving is an economic necessity for modern commerce. For most

of us it is also a convenience; a convenience and privilege that has a cost.

You imply that drivers should be able driver down any (narrow) street and park downtown unimpeded; that there is no or little cost.

Planned and past road expansions of a few kilometers can easily cost $200 million and up. If we have collectively decided to pay close to $3 billion for LRT then we need economies elsewhere in transportation costs. Hence, it makes sense to limit park-

ing downtown to help reduce downtown congestion and make it more people friendly.

We can’t afford the costs of delivering transportation and other costly services far away from downtown cores.

Great cities around the world are limiting vehicle presence in downtown cores: does Ottawa want to improve its urban profile, or do we want to follow the narrow view that you espouse?

City Councillor, Kanata north IT’S PICNIC TIME! MY COMMUNITY PICNIC FOR ALL TO ENJOY is July 20th, 4-8 pm at Sandwell Green Park. Midsummer is when a family picnic is just the thing to do to meet your neighbours, let your kids run around safely and for everyone to have a fun time! There will be a complimentary BBQ, snow cones & cotton candy, face painting, petting zoo, bouncy castles, kids’ activities, robotic demonstration, live entertainment, information on mosquitoes, the library and more.

Get a tour of a fire truck and meet with your local paramedics and police officers. Bring your bike to learn about bike safety and try out the “Rack N’ Roll” demonstration by OC Transpo. Help others by donating non-perishable food items to the Kanata Food Cupboard.

Teens, you’ll love the band concert near the end of the event.

The advanced weather forecast is great so far!

PUBLIC MEETING, BUS SERVICE & CHANGES TO BUS ROUTES, August 18, 7-9 pm, Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (Minto Room), 4101 Innovation Dr. – Due to the new Park and Ride that is currently under construction in Kanata North, bus routes will undergo major changes starting on January 3rd (temporary connections will occur if the Park ‘n Ride opens earlier). All routes will be regular fares at that time so the new routes will service all. What is proposed includes two direct routes to downtown serving Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook, both of which will go along March Road. The present 64 will start at Huntsville and serve the Terry Fox Park ‘n Ride before going downtown. The 165 will include Briarbrook and more.

Details will be at the Kanata North Picnic, on takeaways on the buses and will be posted on my website. Attend the meeting to make your final comments and suggestions – but send them in earlier if possible.

WINTER SERVICE OPERATIONS UPDATE I attended the Transportation Committee and spoke up about keeping winter clearing on local roads at 7 cm (not 10cm) but also on the need to look at other issues, particularly those affecting pedestrians.

Efficiencies that do not impact directly on service were included and those were approved for implementation starting next winter.

I anticipate that Council will have approved the Committee report on Wednesday. Thanks to those who contacted me with their views on this important service.

“TEMPUS” WINNING ART – INNOVATION PARK & RIDE Recently, a jury selected a winning piece of art that will be permanently installed at the Innovation Park & Ride, created by Lynda Cronin. It consists of several undulating petals of different shapes and gradually decreasing in size, organized around an aluminum column.

Each petal is a different colour to represent the movement of light from sunrise to sunset. It’s described as “an abstract organic feel to reflect the sustainability of intelligent transit systems as they relive pressure on the natural ecosystem, carrying many passengers on a collective journey.” View it on my website.

SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM is focusing this month on CYCLING SAFETY and RED LIGHT RUNNING. With more people out walking and cycling during the summer months, be extra cautious especially where new pedestrian crossovers have been installed in our area (i.e. The Parkway in front of Earl of March High School). Running a red light can be deadly so don’t do it!

“In all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to talk to you about your toilet. Ever…”

• But there’s something I’ve just got to tell you.

No one wants to talk about toilets, but in my business we don’t have a choice. In fact, it’s my obligation to tell you that your “current” toilet’s poor performance is not your imagination.

Oh, it looks like a toilet and does pretty much what they’re designed to do -except for one thing…

It’s wasting water. It’s the old “good intentions/bad results” scenario. The Ontario government passed a law to reduce water consumption, and that law mandated that new toilets use only 6 litres of water. This is – in many cases – less than half of the “old” standard toilet that would flush a football.

While the law is good, the toilet designs are bad. And that has led to something almost comical: The “new, conserving” toilets must regularly be flushed two or more times, which means they use more water than the “old” toilets. The problem was so

bad that the government had set up a Toilet Testing Lab (not kidding) to see if 6 litres could really even work as designed. Of the hundreds of toilets tested, they found few that worked.

And we’ve got the best one. Gerber works first time, every time. As plumbers, we know quality, and this is superb.

‘Bold’ new designs coming to airport’s duty free shops after new deal inked Renovations expected to be completed in 2017 Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The Ottawa airport’s two duty free shops will be undergoing a “bold” transformation.

The new operator of the shops will be the Miami-based DFASS Group, which stands for Duty Free Air and Ship Supply, the Ottawa International Airport Authority announced July 7.

The news comes on the heels of a request-for-proposals process that began late last year and wrapped up in March.

In making its choice, the airport authority said it was looking for an operator that could provide unique and welcoming store designs, a sense of place reflecting Ottawa and its status as the nation’s capital, a commitment to providing excellent service and offering high-quality, locallysourced and engaging products.

The company, which is one of the largest duty-free operators in North America with a presence

in more than 25 airports, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Orlando International, Newark Liberty, Chicago O’Hare and in Mexico, will take over operation of the Ottawa airport’s duty free concessions starting Sept. 1.

The shops are located in the areas for international passengers and for trans-border travellers.

The global company, which was founded in 1987 and today has 600 full-time employees, also bills itself as the world’s largest in-flight duty free specialty retailer.

It also provides in-flight pouring, as well as airport and ground store and wholesale distribution services.

DFASS will begin implementing its new store concepts at Ottawa’s airport in September.

Renovations are expected to be finished in early 2017.

The “boldness” of the company’s store designs caught the Ottawa airport authority’s attention.

A design rendering shows seating areas, a brightly lit interior and an array of goods and services for sale.

The exterior has an angular

and colourful design.

“We’ve seen the passion and creativity that DFASS has brought to the table with their recent project in Terminal D at Dallas-Fort Worth,” Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said in a statement.

“And the fact that the same design was engaged to work on this project here in Ottawa shows the priority that DFASS has given this opportunity and the enthusiasm with which they approach new markets,” he said.

DFASS is equally as excited for the opportunity, its ground stores president said in the statement.

“Our global duty free experience, and our familiarity with the Canadian duty free environment by way of our program with Air Canada, will allow us to create a unique retail program,” Jonathan Potash said.

The company’s arrival in Ottawa is part of its bid to expand its presence in North American airports, including in Canada, he said.

A ‘bold’ new design and other changes are coming to two duty free shops at the Ottawa International Airport. A contract was recently awarded to North America’s largest duty-free operator, Miami-based DFASS. Renovations to the two spaces are scheduled to be completed early next year.

While the largest category is recreational, the competitive division sells out first every year.

“We have people even calling around (HOPE) WinterFest in March saying, ‘Can I sign up a team now for July?’” said Holly Tarrison, executive director of HOPE, an annual day long volleyball festival.

HOPE stands for Helping Other People Everywhere.

“I love people who plan ahead,” she said with a chuckle.

Team registration fees are key to allowing HOPE to support several different Ottawa-based charities every year.

This time around, HOPE will provide important dollars to Do It For Daron, the Ottawa Food Bank, the Ottawa Humane Society, Christie Lake Kids, the Bruyère Foundation and Breast Cancer Action Ottawa.

Each beneficiary chosen is required to supply at least 50 volunteers the day of the festival to help with a bevvy of different jobs, ranging from parking and security to site set-up and tear-down.

“And we recruit between 800 and 1,100 on top of that for the day,” said Tarrison.

More volunteers are still needed in such jobs as security, greeting people, scorekeeping, food distribution and at the information and registration booth, water station and the beer garden.

“Ideally, we’d love it if people signed up for a whole day shift,” said Tarrison.

“And depending on where you are, you can still hear or see the concert … and we feed people too.

“All of the positions, you’re never isolated somewhere (in the park); you’re still part of the action and giving back at the same time.”

High school students are also encouraged to lend a hand to meet their volunteer requirements.

HOPE is about more than a day of volleyball matches, and the joy people have in helping others and having fun is always readily apparent.

“A lot of people

use our event as a teambuilder because it’s the perfect opportunity. It’s one day – there’s really no excuse.

And it’s fun.”

Holly Tarrison, executive director of HOPE

When navigating the grounds of the park during the SummerFest, Tarrison is always struck by how happy participants and volunteers are. “Ridiculously big smiles” greet her.

“As an organizer, that’s what you want to see,” she said.

Some volunteers have been coming to help out for years.

Even some charity organizations that HOPE has supported in the past continue to contribute helping hands during the volleyball festival.

“The Lung Association, they still gather a group to come the day of even if they aren’t receiving money from us,” said Tarrison.

See VOLUNTEERING, page 15

Volunteering an option for team building activities Continued from page 14

“It’s a good way to recruit volunteers for other events too, but it’s teambuilding.

“A lot of people use our event as a team-builder because it’s the perfect opportunity,” she said.

“It’s one day – there’s really no excuse. And it’s

fun.”

Spectators who come to the park to watch and cheer on the volleyball action can join the players in enjoying live music that will be performed on the main stage starting at 11:15 a.m., and continuing throughout the day.

Local acts will include the Bristol Hum, Hearts &

Mines and Ty Hall & Co., as well as headliners the Elwins, Dear Rouge and Hey Rosetta.

Admission for non-players is $15 in advance online or $20 at the gate the day of the HOPE. For a complete schedule, go to hopehelps.com, and to volunteer, go to hopehelps.com/volunteers.

Paddlers stir up Mooney’s Bay during last month’s Ottawa Dragonboat Festival. The boats will be in Constance Bay on July 16.

SPECIAL

Dragon boats hit Ottawa River this weekend

Party Tray E $35.99 Regular $39.99

John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

On the heels of a major dragon boat festival at Mooney’s Bay comes the second annual Constance Bay Dragon Boat Festival.

The festival presented by the Ottawa River Canoe Club in partnership with the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association will be held Saturday, July 16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Point Beach.

The public is invited to come to the beach to experience the fun of recreational Dragon Boat Racing. Each team consists of a steersperson provided by the canoe club, 20 paddlers, and a drummer.

During this “totally just for fun event,” each of the teams will receive a training session and participate in two qualifying heats, with the fastest teams competing in the A, B and C finals.

Participants can register as a team of 21 or individually.

Parking is encouraged at the community centre, as there will be a shuttle to and from the beach.

From July 9-15 teams can book a dragon practice session at the Ottawa River Canoe Club for half the usual rate ($50) For more, check out the websites of the community association or canoe club.

Another dragon boat festival, the Arnprior Dragon Boat Community Challenge at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior, will be held on Saturday, July 23.

Ottawa artists have compiled drawings of Ottawa scenes and monuments to create the Ottawa in Colour

In total, 22 artists created 32 different pictures that depict familiar scenes for many Ottawa residents, from the view of the Rideau

Canal to a couple strolling past Dunn’s on Elgin Street.

Nepean’s Jason Cobill said he was discussing how to raise money for local arts while standing in a book store’s colouring book section.

He bounced the idea off University of Ottawa coworker Maxime GauthierKwan, an east Ottawa resident who grew up in Orléans.

Proceeds from book donated to arts organizations Continued from page 17

The book was formally launched on June 25 and there have already been more than 700 copies sold.

They’ve officially broke even on the sales, and proceeds from the $20 book will be donated to various arts organizations in the city, Cobill said.

People have reacted well to the innovative book, usually recognizing a scene from their own day-to-day life in the collection.

“So many people are really intrigued to see their own neighbourhood represented,” Cobill said.

Photographer Vincent Kember decided to amp up a scene he’s seen many times – the Place d’Orléans shopping centre where bus routes connect.

“I had almost 20 years of seeing it every day,” he said. “I had to make it

look more interesting. If I drew it the way you see it, it would be more spread out.”

He superimposed different parts of the shopping centre into one image and took out things that would block the distinct roof to create the drawing.

Artist Dan Asencio, from Westboro, drew a scene from the nearby Hintonburg that also depicts a Bridgehead.

His drawing is distinctly different from Cobill and Kember’s, as the former New York City resident applied a more comic and psychedelic look to his work.

It’s interesting for artists to have someone else come in and finish a piece of art, Asencio said. He said he’s hard on himself, as most artists are, and having someone come in and want to add colour to the art he

started is motivating.

“I was over the moon when I saw someone had (coloured in) one of my drawings,” Cobill said.

There’s a little something for everyone from all over the city’s core in the book.

There are scenes of the classic Ottawa sightseeing stops, such as Parliament Hill, and more abstract Ottawa themed pages.

The family of the late Mathieu Trudel contributed a drawing the artist did of Vanier before he dies for the colouring book.

Each of the pages depicts a different scene, and a different artist’s style.

Cobill said the response has been so strong, they are considering a second edition of the book.

Ottawa in Colour is available at all Chapters, Cole’s and Indigo bookstores in Ottawa as well as online at www.ottawaincolour.com.

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Nepean’s Jason Cobill holds the Ottawa in Colour colouring book open to two pages that he drew for the project. One of the project’s founders, Cobill aims to raise money to support local arts organizations.

Crumbling Somerset House could be expropriated Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The local councillor is calling on the city to expropriate Somerset House before the building – at the busy intersection of Somer-

set and Banks streets – is lost forever.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said the city can't rely on the owner, Tony Shahrasebi of TKS Holdings Inc., to make good on promises to preserve the property.

The city’s built heritage sub-committee approved demolition of three of the easternmost bays on the wall along Somerset Street on July 11.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Committee members express frustration with lack of movement on property Continued from page 19

FILE

The city hasn’t expropriated a building over heritage concerns since the 1980s, but Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said it’s an option he’s also willing to look into.

The fourth bay is in rough shape, but a motion by committee member Barry Padolsky aims at getting the owner to fix it up using “historic fabrics” within two years.

Shahrasebi has battled with the city for years over the fate of the property – including paying $650,000 after a portion of the structure collapsed in 2007.

The city has also been waiving encroachment fees, but Mayor Jim Watson asked the city’s finance and economic development committee to stop that practice in 2014 in an effort to force the owner to fix up the building – both because of its heritage value and the danger posed to pedestrians.

Shahrasebi was supposed to protect the brick from water damage and monitor the building, but the condition worsened, the committee heard from staff.

“In all my years of involvement with heritage, this is one of the biggest mess ups I have

ever seen,” committee member Sandy Smallwood said.

Smallwood went on to question who dropped the ball, since the building was supposed to be monitored.

“Somebody screwed up here,” he said.

Maurice Quinn, with Capacity Engineering Ltd., spoke on behalf of the owner.

Quinn said it would be tough for anyone without the technical skill to know what was happening from the outside.

“Brick absorbs water, so you can’t cover it with a tarp,” he said. “That first winter is where you start to get into trouble.”

Quinn add that the brick is literally crumbling in places.

Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, who chairs the sub committee, said he’s interested in looking to see what the city can do to petition the province for more power under the Ontario Heritage Act. Many members of the committee expressed frustration with the situation, given the city passed property standards

bylaw in 2013 that was meant to prevent demolition by neglect.

“There’s a collective handwringing because of what seems to be a clear violation of the demolition by neglect bylaw,” Nussbaum said.

David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa, said the city has reached the “line in the sand.”

“The only applications here are for demolition,” he said.

“It’s the first step towards losing the entire building.”

The city hasn’t expropriated a building over heritage concerns since the 1980s, but Nussbaum said it’s an option he’s also willing to look into.

Smallwood was also in favour of expropriation.

“If we don’t take the drastic act of expropriation we can’t be assured the owner will do anything,” Smallwood said.

The demolition application was fast-tracked and was to be heard by the city’s planning committee on July 12 and council on July 13.

Family Support

ADVERTORIAL

Support for families with aging loved ones with dementia Understanding how to support an individual living with dementia is no easy endeavor, and they aren’t the only one who needs support. Families are also living with their loved one’s cognitive impairment, and feel a sense of adjustment just as acutely. Chartwell Retirement Residences is invested in the well-being of both residents and their families through their Memory Living program.

Their innovative approach offers support to family members during and after their loved one’s transition to memory care.

Unique to their Memory Living program, qualified Dementia Counsellors —each with a Masters in Social Work — are available to provide individual and group counselling services to fam-

ilies. They also work closely with Chartwell’s Memory Living Managers, who are a dedicated point of contact for families and provide day-to-day support and education. Trained and dedicated staff make it a priority to not only build strong social connections with residents, but with their families too.

and sharing news about the community.

The warm, family-friendly environment in Chartwell’s Memory Living Neighbourhoods is specially-designed with the needs of seniors living with dementia in mind.

Meals are family-style, where residents and staff prepare, dine and clean-up together.

Family members are welcome

to join for a meal, help their loved one rake leaves in the back garden or even catch a movie in the living room lounge. These types of everyday family activities set the scene for life in a Memory Living Neighbourhood.

If you are interested in learning more about Chartwell Empress Kanata Memory Living program, please call: 613-663-2965 or visit chartwell.com

Ongoing communication between staff and families is a central component of the program. Staff first provide orientation to help families and their loved ones transition to life in a Memory Living Neighbourhood. They frequently hold family conferences to provide continuous feedback on the physical and social well-being of seniors, as well as host town halls for the purpose of building relationships Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, July 14, 2016 21

Forecast on the Lansdowne partnership looking up City to earn $32.5 million from Lansdowne over next 30 years Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s manager of parks and recreation, Dan Chenier said Lansdowne is a happening place, with nearly triple the bookings at the Aberdeen Pavilion and the Horticulture building in 2015 than the year before.

Chenier updated the city’s finance and economic development committee on July 5 For June, which is the prime time for the Aberdeen Pavilion, the venue was 100 per cent booked, Chenier said.

The increased book-

ings also meant triple the revenue - to a new total of $300,000.

And Chenier says the city can do better.

The city is currently under spending its budget for the site by $333,000, because he doesn’t think the city has fully realized the potential for the two facilities.

“Our full revenue is not realized yet, so we continue to under spend,” Chenier said, adding the site was very successful as a host to the Tulip Festival and Winterlude activities.

The last night of Winterlude had an artistic laser show, which was attended by 1,000 people.

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group also had good news to share, saying the city’s revenue from the partnership

will be $32.5 million over the next 30 years – much more than the forecast of zero during last year’s report.

Mayor Jim Watson said he’s complimented on the transformation of Lansdowne daily.

“It’s always full, much better than the crumbling infrastructure and sea of asphalt that was there before,” he said.

According to a report from the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment group, (OSEG), the park saw a 72 per cent, or $43 million, increase in revenue from 2014 to 2015.

Roger Greenberg, executive chair of OSEG said there is still room for improvement, but he’s glad the consortium of developers persevered.

Old civic centre brings in $50 million in revenue for 2015 Continued from page 23

Greenberg said there are still issues with the old civic centre, but the annual gross revenue for 2015 was $50 million, said chief executive officer Bernie Ashe said.

City Folk Festival drew crowds of more than 40,000, the RedBlacks and the Ottawa Fury all exceeded expectations.

But, despite all this cheer, the stadium and the retail space are not at full capacity. Retail is at 97 per cent.

There have been some hiccups about the types of events Lansdowne c an host, due to agreements with the EY and Shaw centres.

Despite that, Chenier said the city has found a niche market in weddings at the Horticulture Building.

“There was a lot of doomand-gloom critics that thought the sky was going to fall down when we went ahead with Lansdowne, but it’s actually turned into a good deal,” Watson said.

Commissioner’s report doesn’t deal with lack of consultation: councillor Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

River Coun. Riley Brockington says the lack of public consultation was the missing piece of the integrity commissioner’s report on the mega park proposed for Mooney’s Bay. The report was released July 8.

It says the deal with the production company broke the city's lobbyist registry rules.

In a memo to council, city man-

ager Steve Kanellakos said the project was complicated with multiple partners – including the National Capital Commission.

“New partnerships and innovative approaches to service delivery can result in real advancements for residents,” the memo reads. “However, it can also lead to communication challenges and the need to adapt to different processes and procedures.”

See BROCKINGTON, page 33

Proponents of a mega park to be built on the north end of Mooney's Bay broke the city's rules around lobbying, the city's integrity commissioner says.

Free Right Public parks should go to ottawa Bikes cycles community protective services COMMUNITY news into Vanier for consideration: Brockington OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1-3PM visit us at

.COM

Michelle Nash Baker

Continued from page 31

michelle.nash@metroland.com

A new free bike-sharing program has rolled into Vanier this month.

Partnering with Right Bike, the Healthy Transportation Coalition set up a new bike rack at 355 Montreal Rd., in front of the Vanier Pharmacy.

The idea is Right Bike will offer free daily bike rentals to the neighbourhood.

The coalition’s Trevor Hache said the idea was to remove barriers and get people who need to, moving, but may not have the money that comes along with renting a bike or buying one.

“Other bike-sharing hubs, in other parts of the world don’t require a credit card, because that is a boundary,” Hache said. “So for this, people don’t have to have a credit card, they just have to become a member of the healthy transportation coalition, go in the pharmacy, bring a piece of recognized ID. We are really happy to try and make the bike sharing accessible as possible.”

Completely free to use, interested cyclists do need to bring their ID, and their own helmets to the Vanier Pharmacy to receive a key for one of the locked bikes out front of the store.

In addition to regular bicycles with baskets, there is one cargo bike available that can fit a large amount of groceries, four children or any tired companions.

“It’s unique, and it can accommodate a lot,” Hache said.

Started in 2015, the partnership first resulted in two locations, one in Bayshore at the Shoppers Drug Mart at 3080 Carling Ave. and one in Herongate, located at the Alta Vista Ottawa Public Library branch. The Herongate location has since closed, as the partnership with the library ended. Hache said they constantly look for partnerships in areas that could benefit from free bike sharing.

“We are always looking for partners,” Hache said.

The new bike-sharing operation at the Vanier Pharmacy will cost the coalition $6,400 a year for each location. Each cargo bike costs $2,000 and the remaining budget covers maintenance, setup and storage for the bikes.

All the bikes will be maintained

by Right Bike, an organization operating out of the Causeway Work Centre – a not-for-profit agency in Ottawa’s west end.

Staff should have informed Sinking Ship Entertainment, which produces children's television shows, of the need to register with the city’s lobbyist registry, Kanellakos said, and that he would ask the city clerk to review the lobbyist registry and sponsorship policies with staff.

Brockington, who said he keeps information on the lobbyist registry with his business cards to hand out as needed, said he’s glad city staff will get a “refresher” now, but that’s not good enough.

Many residents have protested the park project, citing a lack of public consultation as a major concern, since they had no say on the site selection or the nearly $1 million in cash-in-lieu of park land monies.

Brockington said that he asked Sinking Ship three times to host public consultations – and was turned down each time.

In response to media reports that the production company has said it was willing to

hold consultations, Brockington said it’s unfortunate that it is now changing its tune.

“Now that the temperature has been turned up, it’s unfortunate,” he said.

Aside from the registry, staff followed the processes set out, and those processes need to be changed, Brockington said.

Going forward, parks that will use significant public space and funds should be considered by the city’s community and protective services committee, Brockington said.

A recent approval of a bike park in Carlington Hill will go through the same process, he said, adding he plans to do the same whenever he can.

“That way elected officials get to vet the park,” he said, adding the public will also have an opportunity to have their say at the committee’s meeting.

The Mooney's Bay mega park will have 10 mini parks that represent each province, and the construction will be filmed for the TVO show called Giver with children from across the country pitching in.

Bonnie Campbell recognized through provincial program Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

When fighting the expansion of the Champlain Bridge in 1991, Catherine Casserly first met the woman she calls a “tiny little ball of energy.”

And many years later, Casserly would nominate Bonnie Campbell for the

province’s Leading Women Building Communities recognition program.

It was awarded to Campbell earlier this year.

“People like her make it a good place to live,” Casserly, who is treasurer of the Westboro Beach Community Association, said of Campbell.

It was Casserly

who had the honour of telling Campbell about the award.

“It embarrassed the crap out of her,” Casserly remembered.

“But I told her she’s a role model for other women coming up behind her.”

Campbell honoured to be recognized by her neighbours Continued from page 35

In a letter to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, supporting Casserly’s nomination, Cameron MacLeod, executive director of the Carlington Community Health Centre, estimated Campbell has volunteered more than 200 hours of service in the last two years. During that time, she has run a monthly community kitchen for those in the area, which expanded to include a women’s leadership program to help develop the skills and confidence of local women.

“I really enjoy cooking, and I just find it really rewarding to bring people together to build a community in that fashion because I do think you can build a community through food,” Campbell said of the experience. It brings together people of different backgrounds to share recipes and prepare a meal.

“We get together and share a meal and get to know each other as neighbours.

That has been a very rewarding project.”

That program will move to the Van Lang Field House – another project Campbell has had a hand in. She has also been a board member of the Westboro Beach Community Association.

Campbell said the community was looking for space for children’s programming, but was finding rental space was very expensive. That part of the neighbourhood was also looking for a space to meet.

“It was sort of a need we saw in the community and we just worked to accomplish it, and we are still working.

We still need program money and we still have a lot of work left to do there,” Campbell said.

Campbell said all of the projects are a group effort, so she was surprised to have been recognized by her peers.

“I was really surprised, but honoured that my friends and neighbours had taken the time to nominate me with quite an

Limitations and their exceptions

What should you do?

That is a complicated question. Generally speaking, although there are exceptions, you may commence an action for damages in Ontario anytime up to 2 years after an event, or after you reasonably learned of the consequences of an event. If you know of the consequences of an event where you suffered injuries or losses, you generally lose your right to sue as of the second anniversary of the loss.

The first thing you should do is get legal advice from a lawyer as soon as you become aware that something has happened. There are other shorter limitation periods including notice periods which can be just a few days, arising in some circumstances. A lawyer can give you advice and help you pursue your rights as appropriate.

There are various exceptions to this rule. Recently, the Ontario Government has abolished limitation periods for victims of sexual assault.

Furthermore, limitations generally don’t apply to people under a legal disability, and that includes minors (people under the age of 18).

There is also a legal doctrine of discoverability. Discoverability provides that a limitation period does not begin to run against a person until that person knew or ought to have known of a loss, and in some cases the extent or seriousness of a loss can be an issue.

Before Campbell received the award, Casserly highlighted several of Campbell’s accomplishments, including making school breakfasts and providing support to refugee families.

All cases are specific to their facts and the above information should not be relied upon to determine rights in particular circumstances.

Lawyers often provide no obligation free and confidential consultations to prospective clients. So it is a good idea to seek out legal advice from a lawyer if you have any doubt or questions about your rights.

Eid Festival signals fresh start for new Canadians Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ghaidaa Bilal’s eyes light up as pink sparkles are dabbed onto an intricate henna design applied to her arm.

Nearby, Nour, the seven-year-old’s mother, smiles as she patiently waits.

Soon they are on the move, weaving together past cultural exhibits, showcasing wares from countries as far away as Egypt and Turkey, and rows of tables with a bounty of traditional home-cooked food.

The mother-daughter pair eventually makes their way back to their relatives, including Ghaidaa’s father, his parents and her brother. Around them, families representing a vast number of cultures from around the world are united for the day as they celebrate during the Eid Festival at the EY Centre on July 6, marking the end of Ramadan, a special month in the Islamic faith. An estimated 15,000 people were expected to attend.

Kanata resident Sherif Awad holds plates of traditional Egyptian food during the Eid el-Fitr Festival hosted by the Ottawa chapter of the Muslim Association of Canada at the EY Centre on July 6. The celebration marked the end of Ramadan, a special month in the Islamic faith.

Feeling ‘closer to home’ Continued from page 39

“It’s nice to be here. It’s nice for the kids to come and celebrate,” said Nour, speaking in Arabic to Const. Lila Shibley, with the Ottawa police diversity and race relations section.

The festival marked an important milestone for the Bilals, as it was their first Ramadan in Canada.

For the past five months, the Syrian refugees, who arrived here from

Jordan, have been adapting to life in Vanier with the support of a group of Ottawa residents who privately sponsored them.

Nour said their new lives here are thanks to God. Her two children have settled into school life. They are all learning English. And the family is now anticipating the arrival of a new edition. Nour is pregnant with her third child, who will be born a Canadian.

Other families also had much to be thankful for during the 12-hour Eid el-Fitr celebration, held a day after Muslims broke their final fast.

“This was the toughest Ramadan because the days were so long,” said Kanata resident Sherif Awad, who volunteered during the festival, organized by the Ottawa chapter of the Muslim Association of Canada.

A chance to build bridges in a new home Continued from page 41

Every year, the special month in which Muslims do not eat or drink anything or participate in intimate relations from sunrise to sunset moves 11 days back every year, in keeping with the lunar calendar.

This time around fasting periods stretched on for as long as 17-and-a-half hours because the days are longer at this time of year.

Still, this Ramadan was extra special for many people, particularly for many new Canadians and refugees, like the Bilals, who celebrated the holy month for the first time in Canada, said Awad.

The festival is designed to bring Muslims together, build cultural bridges and serve as a way to connect with newcomers, helping chase away potential homesickness. In addition to stage shows and good food, the event featured several bouncy castles and arcade games, as well as a row of vendor’s tables where many

parents treated their children to new toys.

“They feel that they are closer to home,” Awad said of many of Ottawa’s newest citizens, who spent the day forging new connections at the convention centre. “It reminds them of home when they come here and see their food and their culture and people who speak their language.

“It’s a way for them to build bridges and get to know the community and help them integrate into society,” he said.

South Keys resident Zaid Al-Sadoon spent the day with his twin boys and 16-year-old son at an exhibit table hosted by the Darussalam Iraqi Canadian Association, where festival-goers could look over dozens of photos showcasing Iraq’s heritage, from ancient to modern times.

The Eid celebration is a way for the association to connect with a larger audience, including new Canadians, and invite them to join in monthly potlucks and other community

events, which are often held at the Heron Community Centre, said Al-Sadoon, an association board member.

The father of four still remembers the day he first came to Canada with his wife and eldest son eight years ago in the aftermath of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Though he has faced a recent challenge in securing a teaching job after recently earning his doctorate degree in civil engineering from the University of Ottawa, he said life in Canada has given his family many blessings.

“Human rights, freedom of speech, dignity. You feel like a human being,” he said, the sounds and sights of revelry all around him. “We even feel this is our first home.”

Canada Day in Kanata-Carleton It was so nice to meet so many happy faces as we celebrated Canada Day in the Riding. The day began with a great turnout at the Kanata Race Day, followed by a wonderful seniors’ breakfast in Carp. It was great to hear wonderful voices at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Residence during their amazing Canada Day concert! Thank you to the President and members of the Kanata Legion Branch 638 for great Canada Day BBQ. Finally it was great to meet so many people at Walter Baker Park, hand out balloons, suckers and candy, and chat with so many constituents. The brief thunderstorm didn’t dampen any spirits as we huddled to stay dry! The day ended with a visit in Dunrobin, and a relaxing view of the fireworks later that evening. Spending the day with so many friends, community members, and family makes me so proud to live in this country and celebrate Canada. I hope you all had a wonderful Canada Day! 100th Anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel I was honoured to attend the 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel on Canada Day with our Governor General, Prime Minister and Minister of Heritage, and lay a wreath on behalf of Veterans. Of the 810 men of the Newfoundland Regiment who fought in the battle, only 68 were able to answer ‘roll call’ the following day. It is so important that we never forget the service and sacrifice of so many Veterans who served to give us all a better future.

Eid Mubarak!

I would like to acknowledge the end of the holy month of Ramadan by wishing the very best to our Muslim community. The gathering at the EY Centre provided an opportunity for friends to strengthen family ties and renew friendships. Eid al-Fitr is also about showing compassion and humanity towards those in need. To all my Muslim friends: Eid Mubarak!

NATO Working Group I was pleased to travel to Ljubljana, Slovenia to attend a NATO Partnership for Peace Working Group. The theme of the conference was reintegration of military and combat veterans into civilian society following their military careers. It is such an important discussion to have and it was good to share ideas with experts from other NATO countries.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all. Please feel free to contact our office at 613-592-3469 or by email at Karen.McCrimmon@parl.gc.ca. Also, you can follow me on twitter @karenmccrimmon.

The crosswalks were installed through a partnership between the City of Ottawa and the Bank Street BIA. Their official opening also takes place at the conclusion of the first ever Pride Month in Canada. The material used to display the rainbow colours on the pavement will last for about five years. The permanent installation followed a pilot project completed last August.

Facelift coming to Ottawa police HQ Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland

The Ottawa police headquarters building will undergo a facelift this year.

The $1.69-million project, which will include the removal of the drive-through area at the front of the building facing Elgin Street and the installation of a pedestrianfriendly “plaza,” will coincide with three other upgrade projects.

It will be the first major change to the front facade since the building was first built about 36 years ago.

“It’s not so much cosmetic, although we will have the opportunities to improve it in the process,” said Pamela Mills, director of police facilities. “This is about lifecycle work.”

The first project will be the replacement of the three-storey floor-to-ceiling windows that form a wall around the front doors, as well as a glass ceiling over the interior lobby.

That work will be done by a glass supplier.

“That’s going to give us some energy efficiency,” Mills said, adding that the 36-yearold windows are past their prime.

That is scheduled to begin some time in August, and is expected to take about a month to complete.

Next up, starting in September, the front area will be excavated for the replacement of a membrane over the underground parking garage, which has in the past required some patchwork repairs to address water leakage. That project has been on the books for about six years.

As well, thick glass block walls at groundfloor level that wrap the north, south and east sides of the building will be removed.

“That glass block has been a problem for us, I’m going to say, since Day One,” said Mills.

“It’s always been a problem to maintain proper heating and cooling in those areas.

It’s always been difficult for us to keep the occupants comfortable,” she said, adding that the upgrade is expected to result in savings to heating and cooling bills.

“It’ll freshen the building up,” said Mills.

“It’ll look better. More importantly, it’ll function better.”

The replacement walls will be solid, insulated and will feature transom windows at the top, allowing natural light into the functional space in behind.

“It’ll make it much more comfortable for occupants, and, of course, we are taking the esthetics into consideration on the building at the same time, so it’ll look good,” Mills said.

“When you walk down the street or approach the building, it’ll look nicer than it does now.”

PAMELA MILLS, POLICE FACILITIES MANAGER

The replaced and redesigned exterior walls won’t make the headquarters building appear vastly different. The plan is to use muted tones for the new solid walls.

The most noticeable change to the facade will be the creation of a plaza.

The drive-through, a half-circle configuration that has served as a temporary parking area, often for police cars, will be removed. The flag poles stationed at the sidewalk will be relocated, planter boxes will be added and security bollards, or posts, will also be installed to keep vehicles out.

Design includes eliminating drive-through, adding pedestrian plaza Continued from page 51

“There won’t be cars in there so it’ll be a better use of the space,” said Mills, noting that a small lay-by will be added, serving as a small lane off Elgin Street where municipal vehicles will be able to pull in.

As well, the plaza area will provide more space for community and policing events, such as the annual police Diversity Celebration, a public showcase held in June with dancing and music.

ESTHETIC APPEAL

“When you walk down the street or approach the building, it’ll look nicer than it does now,” Mills said of the plaza. “It’ll be greener and it’ll be more user friendly – no cars in front of it.”

As well, the Ottawa police sign will be relocated from its current location in front of the headquar-

ters closer to the sidewalk along Elgin Street, said Anne Richards, police facilities manager.

The sign’s image will be updated to reflect the department’s new logo, she added.

The glass block and membrane replacement and construction of the plaza is expected to be finished in late December.

The glass block, membrane and plaza work will be done by a general contractor, said Richards.

The contract is expected to go out for tendering the week of July 11 to 15, and a contractor is expected to be on board in about six weeks time, she said.

The public will be able to access front-desk policing services over the course of the project.

Workshops abuzz with info about bee populations Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Instead of swatting away that buzzing bumblebee this summer, Friends of the Earth Canada is encouraging Ottawans to take its picture and upload it, as part of the Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count, on until Aug. 15.

According to Frances Fyfe, outreach intern for Friends of the Earth, Ottawa is a hotbed of bumblebee species, which makes it a great location for the count.

And you don’t have to be a specialist to participate.

“It’s not a hard thing to do,” Fyfe said. “All you really need is a smartphone.”

You can snap a quick picture and upload it to w w w. b u m b l e b e e w a t c h . org with some notes about the date and location the photo was taken, including the longitude and latitude, floral host, if known, and weather.

Fyfe is hoping to have as many people as possible participate and to help get

people started, Friends of the Earth is hosting several events, where people can ask questions and get information about local bee populations.

The free lunchtime workshops are being held on July 14 and 19 from noon to 1 p.m. at 251 Bank St., which includes a showing of newly-released documentary A Ghost in the Making: Searching for the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee (which is about a bee that is listed as endangered).

Other free workshops will be held at Fletcher Wildlife Garden on July 13 at 7 p.m. and July 17 at 9 a.m. After the morning workshop, there will be time to explore the gardens, searching for the buzzing pollinators.

There are about 40 different kinds of bumblebees in Canada, which act as pollinators.

Scientists will use the information from the count to determine distribution and population trends and the status and conservation

needs in Canada.

When it comes to bees, Fyfe said, honey bees get most of the attention, but as many as one-third of North American bumblebee species are in decline and six are critically at risk.

“It’s hard to say exactly why populations are decreasing,” Fyfe said, pointing to several factors, including loss of habitat, as well as pesticides and climate change.

“That’s why this huge task is so important; it’s to get a grasp on the numbers,” she said.

Friends of the Earth is also encouraging gardeners to plant bee-friendly plants such as native flowers and providing stems and sticks as nesting sites, as part of its Let it Bee campaign.

Ninth annual Gil Read Fastball Tournament in Carp July 22-24 Fastball fans in Ottawa and eastern Ontario are in for a treat July 22-24 when the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament is staged at Carp Fairgrounds.

It’s expected that 10 top-flight men’s teams from Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States will vie for the title with action beginning Friday night, July 22, and continuing all weekend on two diamonds. The championship final is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 24.

The long standing competition has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in the region.

Last July, the Kanata Storm, an Ottawa club who were not among the pre-tournament favourites, were the surprise winners of the fastpitch showdown. Storm blanked Elmira Expos from southwestern Ontario 7-0 in the title

game to ring up an impressive 5-1 overall record in the 10-team competition.

Once again all proceeds will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part.

Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read, and his cousin Al Read, are once again part of the 10 member organizing committee.

Chris says the need to help young people in the community never goes away.

“Last year we assisted 16 families. And now the applications just keep coming in.

“It is touching to receive handmade cards of thanks and to know how much our assistance means to the kids involved and their parents.

That’s what makes all the hard

work worthwhile.”

The tournament is held in memory of Chris’s father Gil, a longtime men’s fastball coach who died in 2007.

The first ever Gil Read Memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008.

The competition begins Friday

night with three games, two beginning at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m.

Action resumes Saturday at 9 a.m. and continues all day. Playoffs take place Sunday morning and the championship final is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Check the Eastern Ontario Fastball Blog at www.fitzroyfastball.

Snow plowing to stay at status quo Rural councillor says committee took the easy road Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to save the city money by changing the threshold for when plows start to clear residential roads was quashed at transportation committee on July 6.

The committee, which voted on a report by consultants KPMG that reviewed the city’s winter operations, in the hopes of wringing some much needed cash out of the snow removal budget, opted to stick with a seven-centimetre minimum standard for residential roads, rather than the suggested 10 cm.

If that recommendation had been implemented it would have saved $1 million. Half of the savings would have been reinvested in more trucks to re-prioritize roads that are currently meeting the city’s minimum quality standard – which is to have them cleared 10 hours after the snow fall ends.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, whose ward is 744 square-kilometres and four “beats” (snow plow routes) says he thinks residents would have seen an improvement.

The largest of the two beats would have been broken up into two had the report's recommendation been approved, he said.

Moffatt added residents might have gotten on board if the issue had been better presented.

“Does it matter if trucks aren’t coming out until 10 cm if your road is being done five hours earlier?” he asked.

But it was easier to keep with the status quo, he said.

The city’s winter operations budget has gone over by an average of $12 million over the last five years. Ottawa is among the snowiest of the world’s capital cities – with an average yearly snowfall of 2.23 metres.

Moffatt said something’s got to be done, but hopes raising taxes isn’t the answer.

“Taking free money is the easier way,”

he said. “It’s much harder to find those efficiencies.”

Moffatt said he hopes staff can work out a solution to prioritizing residential roads before the budget comes up for debate.

“We are talking about $500,000,” he said. “A one per cent tax increase would generate $13 million. I think we can find the money some other way.”

Several councillors said the report should have been made public sooner, and residents should have been able to provide feedback before the committee voted on the matter.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said that the process was an insult to the public and urged staff to do better in the future.

“In 2012, we voted for a public engagement strategy,” she said. “And the basic principles weren’t followed. Any changes to service standards should have triggered a public comment process.”

City manager Steve Kanellakos disagreed, and said that the winter operations review was just the first of six departmental reviews staff were asked to undertake by council. He said that if staff had to consult with the public on every review they did to try and save money the process would get hopelessly bogged down.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who took criticism from Mayor Jim Watson the day before for not setting up his own public consultation, said that releasing the report “on the eve of Canada Day” pretty much ensured there wasn’t going to be much feedback.

But residents weren’t the only ones calling on committee to have their say.

Brian Madden, who heads Ottawa Carleton Public Employees Union Local 503, said the city should have asked the union and the frontline staff where they could save money.

While Madden was pleased that committee chair Keith Egli put forward the

The city's transportation committee has voted down a plan to save the city money by changing the threshold for when plows start to clear residential roads. amendment to the report that would keep the minimum standard at seven cm, he said another element – the part about rejigging the ratio of contract work to staff work – should have been discussed with the union first.

“It’s troubling from the union’s perspective,” Madden said. “The union has a good history of working with the city on cost savings.”

Kevin Wylie, the city’s general manager of public works, said KPMG conducted 10 focus groups with frontline workers to get their input.

But, Wylie said, he didn’t directly communicate with the union president about the report and it’s recommendations, he said, adding he could have done so.

That will happen before the item goes to council on July 13, thanks to a direction to staff from Orléans Coun. Bob Monette.

Aside from the re-jig of contract to staff ratios, the other recommendation to survive the marathon committee meeting was making sure operations for larger roads didn’t exceed current standards.

The total net savings of the slate of recommendations was $5.9 million over two years.

other stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the

yard.

She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass.

This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm.

Which wasn’t very often.

Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one day, missing his foot by a mere inch, and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware ad in the Renfrew Mercury.

Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it.

We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

MARY COOK Memories So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years!

When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside.

Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please.

He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about.

Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told.

He managed to cut a swath right down the

middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face.

Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed.

The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn.

Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next.

He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better.

“Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

Olympian’s visit offers gold medal moments at Rotary Home Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alexandre Bilodeau first drapes the gold medal he earned at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games across the chest of Nicholas Wright, then rests the gold medal he won at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics next to Wright’s pillow.

“Surrounded by gold.

Golden Nick,” said Bilodeau, who retired from freestyle skiing two years ago.

For Wright, who is an enthusiastic sports fan, meeting Bilodeau at the Ottawa Rotary Home’s Leitrim campus near Findlay Creek, proved to be a gold medal moment in more ways than one.

“Do you remember when Alex won his medal? Do you remember who was cheering for him the most at the bottom of the hill?” Donna Thomson, Wright’s mom, asked her son, who has cerebral

palsy, a neurological disorder that impairs motor function.

Turning to Bilodeau, she smiled, “He was so excited.”

The Westboro resident was referring to Bilodeau’s older brother, Frédéric, who celebrated Bilodeau’s victory in the men’s moguls event at the Vancouver Olympics, a moment that was broadcast live on TV and one that touched the hearts of fans across Canada.

Frédéric has cerebral palsy.

Bilodeau’s admiration for the Ottawa Rotary Home grew as he toured the Ottawa Rotary Home, which provides short-term residential and respite care – a home away from home – for children, teens and adults with physical disabilities affecting mobility, as well as complex medical needs.

Rotary Home away from home provides residential, respite care Continued from page 61

Bilodeau’s tour was a reminder of what his home province does not have, but desperately needs.

“It’s hard to see that (the modern centre) and we don’t have that access anywhere in the province of Quebec,” he said, adding that while there are schools for the disabled, once students turn 18, there are few provincial government-funded programs available.

And families are caught in the middle.

Bilodeau’s brother Frédéric lives with their parents in Montreal, and it was only recently they took a short vacation alone for the first time.

Bilodeau cared for his brother while they were away.

“There is a big black hole,” Bilodeau said of the need for respite care.

But even in this part of Ontario, the Rotary Home provides a very unique ser-

vice for families. It is the only centre of its kind in eastern Ontario, particularly for young adults.

Even in Ontario, a 21st birthday means the provincial government no longer fully absorbs respite care program costs for those with physical challenges and mobility limitations.

“There is virtually nothing,” said Chloe Hillier, director of development with the Ottawa Rotary Home Foundation.

And the demand is great.

There are 300 families registered with the home, but Hillier suspects the need is greater and more families are likely unaware of the services the home provides. Many may also not know that the money they are granted from the province each year – which they can use to pay for specialized programs – can be used to access day programming and overnight respite care at the Rotary

Home.

The home’s adult wing is only partially used, though the Leitrim campus only dates back to 2009.

“We definitely have the demand from families, but we just don’t have the funding,” Hillier said. As a result, the Rotary Home Foundation holds fundraisers throughout the year.

Wright’s situation is unique and the 27-year-old has called the Rotary Home his home since 2011.

“We were just fortunate that the Rotary Home could meet his needs with respect to his medical complexities, his nursing needs,” said Wright’s mom, Thomson.

“There was nowhere else in the city for him to go outside his (family) home.”

Wright was born with a brain injury. He suffers from sleep apnea and seizures, as well as chronic pain, and a Rotary Home nurse stays awake by his bedside every

“They do an amazing job,” said Thomson, who chronicled her family’s experiences and her own disability advocacy work in a book titled, The Four Walls of My Freedom - Lessons I’ve Learned from a Life of Care-

giving, which was published in 2010.

Wright’s room in the adult wing of the not-for-profit Rotary Home is decorated with autographed posters of WWE wrestlers, like Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

Hockey memorabilia, including Ottawa Senators posters, cover the walls.

“Can you believe how wonderful this place is?”

Thomson told Bilodeau, who is just a year older than Wright. “This is an extension of our home.”

CAT OF THE WEEK ALBERT! He is the “LOVE BUG” of the century… so friendly towards humans... wants to be cuddled and hugged and told how handsome he is. His golden orange fur is soft as velvet and he loves to be brushed to keep it this way.

About 2 years young responsible but also playful kitty; balls with bells in them are his favourite and he is partial to catnip toys. He would probably enjoy being your one and only “love“ and get all the attention himself.

Hi, my name is Chance.

Happy summer to all my puppy friends I miss on Devon St. and their families.

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

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

Canada Post disruptions may begin this week

Direct to Door Delivery

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling.

Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine.
