Kanata sculpture finds new home

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

In what was called a fitting tribute, former Kanata city councillor

Tom Flood “blessed” a monument dedicated to employees of the former municipality with water collected from the Carp River.

Two massive blocks of stone

in the shape of the former city’s logo were unveiled on July 12. The sculpture features hundreds of names of those who were working for the city of Kanata at the time

of amalgamation.

“This is just a great day in my life,” said Flood.

Monument a tribute to former city’s employees Continued from page 1

“This is a wonderful monument that’s dedicated to reflect what the city of Kanata employees did to make this a wonderful community,” Flood said.

More than 50 people turned out for the unveiling, many of them former Kanata employees.

“We had a great time at Kanata, we were so small we knew everybody,” said Judi Pilon, who worked in the city clerk's department. “That was a big change when we moved to (Ottawa) municipal government.”

The sculpture, commissioned as a tribute to the employees, was originally installed in 2001 in a wooded area near the Kanata Centrum. Vandals damaged the stone structure and city staff removed the monument to avoid further damage.

Years later, Flood began asking when the monument would be reinstalled.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and the former councillor for Kanata South,

Peggy Feltmate, tracked it down at the public works facility on Maple Grove Road.

“They were looking after it, but they said, ‘Well could you find a place to put it? We don’t want to keep it here forever,’” said Wilkinson.

It took six years to find a suitable location, she said, as the statue needed to be within the Kanata Town Centre and somewhere well lit to deter vandalism.

Two city planners mentioned the grassy knoll at the intersection of Maritime Way and Canadian Shield Avenue, said Wilkinson, and the monument now sits under a pergola — and lights — at the Town Centre Park.

“It’s usually the politicians that have their names on plaques so it’s nice to see the worker bees, the men and women who made up the public service of Kanata, be recognized for your efforts and your professionalism over the course of your career,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

A monument dedicated to employees of the former city of Kanata is unveiled at the Town Centre Entrance Park on July 12. Former employees of the municipality came out to celebrate its reinstallation. From left are Judi Pilon, Dave Fleming, Stuart Moxley, Keith Sorfleet and Jill Benger.

“I think it’s appropriate that we’re unveiling this the same week that the study came out — a worldwide study — that showed the No. 1 public service in the world is from Canada.”

The new location received approval from those whose names are etched on the stone, in part because many couldn’t

find its first home.

“I went snowshoeing where it used to be behind Walmart and I couldn’t find it,” said Jill Benger, who worked in the city’s tax office.

“I think it’s great that it’s in a prominent position — it’s part of the legacy for us in Kanata,” said Pilon.

Many families may be less than a month into summer holidays, but the Kanata Food Cupboard is already looking ahead to when students go back to school.

New this year, clients will have the opportunity to select their own classroom supplies.

“We’re allowing parents to come in and pick out their items versus having it all put in a bag and passing it to them,” said Cara-Leigh Wyllie, the new client and community outreach co-ordinator.

“It’ll be very similar to our regular shopping nights for our food items; you get to come in and pick up what you need.”

Families have already started to sign up for assistance and the food cupboard is hoping donations will increase.

“Before you know it, it’s late August and the kids are ready to go,” said Wyllie. “It’s overwhelming when you go into the stores and see all the school supplies, so it helps ease the burden on them, that there’s programs available.”

Supplies are needed for students of varying ages and grades, from kindergarten to post-secondary classes. The items most in need are: • Math sets • Rulers • Graph paper • Spiral exercise books • Combination locks • Markers • Pencil crayons • Pencil cases • Backpacks • Scientific calculators • Duotangs of various colours “The items that we don’t get enough of unfortunately are the more expensive items like the scientific calculators as well as combination locks,” said Wyllie.

“We have enough pencils, I think, for the next couple of years — which is a good thing to have lots of something.”

Last year, the food cupboard supplied 250 children and 10 adults with school supplies. The number of fam-

ilies requesting assistance has grown by 24 per cent since 2011 — from 83 families to 103 last year.

“The numbers are increasing for every campaign,” said Wyllie, adding the number of

Kanata firm awarded $500K government contract InBay Technologies receives federal funding for cybersecurity system

BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Submitted

Kanata-based cybersecurity firm inBay Technologies receives a $500,000 contract from the federal government for its online security service that aims to reduce the risk of malware attacks.

6 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, July 20, 2017

A Kanata technology firm was awarded more than $500,000 from the federal government for its online security service that aims to reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon and Steven MacKinnon, parliamentary secretary to the minister of Public Services and Procurement and Gatineau MP, announced last month that inBay Technologies Inc. will receive $500,481 for its idQ Trust as a Service, which will be tested by Shared Services Canada.

The funding is part of the Build in Canada Innovation Program, which invests in Canadian-made products

that are then tested by federal government departments.

McCrimmon said the program is a win-win.

“The government benefits by gaining access to leadingedge technologies and the client departments provide valuable feedback to the innovators,” she said.

The idQ service does away with passwords and instead uses multiple factors to authenticate user identities, according to the company’s website.

Citing a 2016 Verizon report on data breaches, “63 per cent of confirmed data breaches involved weak, default or stolen passwords.”

InBay’s password-free authentication process can be used for cloud services, corporate networks, websites and mobile applications.

“With an increase in frequency and severity of cyberattacks, it is crucial that public organizations and enterprises protect their online applications by securing users’ corporate credentials from cyber-hacking,” said Shane Young, president and CEO of inBay Technologies.

“We helped secure Shared Services Canada applications … and rendered potential malware attacks futile.”

The Build in Canada Innovation Program has awarded more than $99 million in contracts since it was launched in 2010. Ninetytwo of the 235 contracts are in Ontario.

“Investments in Canadian innovations are a key driver of jobs and prosperity,” said MacKinnon.

“By matching innovative products with government needs, the Build in Canada Innovation Program helps Canadian companies move their products from the lab to the marketplace.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

All workers deserve fair pay

M

inimum wage.

Two words that are leading to a maximum amount of discussion these days.

Should it go up to $15 as the provincial government is proposing or is this $3.60 per hour increase in wages an action that will cause distress and, some suggest, even cause bankruptcy for businesses.

Some economists predict doom and gloom from this increase in the minimum wage. Others say that it will spur the economy. What, oh what are we to believe?

It seems this decision should not be made on economic predictions as there are economists on both sides of the issue, putting forth what at face value appear to be valid and opposite suppositions.

Rather, this is a decision that very much should be made in the context of our Canadian values. Canada is a country that prides itself on equality, fairness and acceptance.

In so many situations, Canadians step forward and do (or try to do) what is right and fair and just. It’s part of our DNA. It’s why our society and country are so admired around the world.

And so when we know that the prescribed so-called minimum wage is not adequate, we as Canadians should apply our principles of fair play and justice and equality

and do something about it.

This is what the provincial government is proposing to do, but not without lots of pushback from the business community which seems to view “minimum wage” as the “maximum wage.” These businesses don’t want to pay a fair wage, just the lowest possible wage. They have been built on low minimum wages and any change will threaten their existence — or so they say.

These are businesses that have absorbed increasing electricity rates and presumably will be benefitting from lower power rates beginning this summer. These are businesses that are always susceptible to rent or tax increases.

All these varying costs are managed when they happen, either through increasing the charge for products or services or improved, more efficient management. So too can any wage increases.

It’s time business stopped relying on this minimum wage crutch and started treating employees with fairness and equality, paying a fair wage for work provided.

That’s the Canadian way.

We do it in so many of our actions. It’s time we did it for the rate that we pay the workers on bottom rung of the economic ladder. They won’t be getting rich, but at least they will be closer to earning a living wage that is fair and just.

Public transit needs to be convenient and affordable

Y

et another highrise development, this one on Richmond Road, is gradually moving ahead. Yet again, the approval of the development is keyed to its closeness to light rail.

We watch all these decisions, one after another, and we’re thinking: “I hope they know what they’re doing.”

Because if they don’t …

We all know the reasoning: Highdensity development near the LRT line will bring about a new Ottawa, one in which easy access to rapid transit will reduce people’s dependence on cars, thus creating a new, less polluted and less congested city.

Many developments have been approved in recent years, based on this premise. And many of those developments are at a height greater than is customarily allowed.

But it’s all for a good cause, planners and city councillors agree.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Let’s hope so.

Because, if it isn’t, if the premise is wrong, we are stuck with a city full of tall buildings, blotting out the sunlight and casting shadows over streets clogged with even more cars.

That’s not pleasant to contemplate, but it wouldn’t do us any harm to assume that the high-density promised land won’t come about automatically because tall buildings are allowed to sprout. A few things may need to be done.

Some have suggested that restricting the number of parking spaces for the residents of the new buildings may

do the trick. But people are resourceful, none more so than those who are desperate to hang on to their automobiles. They will find ways to stash them somewhere.

So that alone won’t work. A more productive approach would be to provide incentives for people to use that new public transit we are so expensively providing for them. One obvious way would be to make that public transit good. Putting gleaming new trains close to their tall homes should accomplish that (although it would be nice to think that the improvements could also be brought to those who live farther from the LRT lines).

The mere existence of the LRT line is certainly an incentive but there are disincentives too. Cost would be one.

taining a car, that fact may not be obvious to all. It may not be enough to offset the perceived convenience of using a car instead of public transit.

There are two ways of attacking that. One is to make using a car less convenient. Traffic congestion alone accomplishes that. Making parking less available downtown can help as well, but not many city officials would be prepared to take the political rap for that.

Plus, the shopping centres away from the centre of town offer ample parking and no one is going to take that away.

If we really want the people in these new towers — and people in general — to make more use of public transit, we need to make public transit less expensive. That means not just holding a lid on fare increases but even lowering fares.

Why not?

congestion and pollution, then it serves even the people who don’t use it, and deserves to be subsidized much more than it is now.

Just putting up tall buildings is not the answer.

• Ensure footing drains direct water to the storm sewer or sump pump, away from the foundation. Footing drains should not be connected to the sanitary sewer system.

• Ensure water run-off on the property is flowing to the ground surface or storm drainage system, not the sanitary system.

• Install protective plumbing devices (such as backwater valves) that protect against sewer backups, and inspect them regularly.

• Ensure service pipes between the municipal sewer main and the house are in good operating condition.

• In rare instances, the pressure from sewer cleaning operations can create a vacuum and blowback water through home fixtures, such as toilets. During this period, it is important to keep the toilet lids down at all times.

If your house experiences a blowback, please contact the City immediately at 3-1-1 or by e-mail at 311@ottawa.ca.

opinion Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study

The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08.

The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1).

Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road.

This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings.

The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the Notice of Commencement phase, which began on May 18, 2017. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

A digital version of the Final Environmental Project Report and other project information is available for downloading, in whole or in part, at the following web address: www.ottawa.ca/baselinecorridor.

Interested persons are encouraged to review this document and provide comments by Monday, August 14, 2017 to the project contacts listed below.

There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project, or impose conditions on it. The Minister may require further consideration or impose conditions if the Minister is of the opinion that: • the transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest; or, • the transit project may have a negative impact on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right.

Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that the Minister may receive within 30 days after the Notice of Completion of the Environmental Project Report is first published.

If you have discussed your issues with the proponent and you object to the project, you can provide a written submission to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change no later than Monday, August 14, 2017 to the address provided below. All submissions must clearly indicate that an objection is being submitted and describe any negative impacts to matters of provincial importance (natural/cultural environment) or Aboriginal rights.

Watch those sugary treats

T

hree weeks into the summer holidays I’ve noticed an interesting trend with my kids.

Every day, they are helping themselves to popsicles, candy, pop and juice. Truly, I’ve let go of the reins of healthy eating.

I told myself this isn’t such a bad thing. I grew up in the 1980s. Multiple summers in a row, I ate Kraft Dinner and hotdogs daily for lunch.

Everything was self-serve.

As far as I remember, we survived the remaining hours of the day between breakfast and dinner on penny candies, sour keys and Bazooka gum.

Cases of RC Cola would go on sale for $4. My brother and I frequently pooled our pocket money to cycle down to the grocery store (without helmets) to pick one up.

So I felt kind of bad taking my kids aside for the junk food lecture. They know I’m not a total granola mom, even if their packed lunches are apparently the most “boring things around.” After all, it’s not uncommon for an apple to go on several day trips to school, only to return uneaten in the evening and then repacked in the same box the next day. “At least the fruit got out of the house for the day,” I say cheekily.

But here’s the thing – we now know that overloading on sugar is really bad for humans.

Over consumption of sugar has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, poor cognitive function and cancer.

Earlier this year, a study out of King’s College in London, U.K. also linked

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse high sugar levels to increased dementia risk, an incurable disease that affects more than half a million Canadians, as well as 45 per cent of residents in long-term care homes.

It’s no secret that Canadians, like their counterparts across the world, eat too much sugar. According to health guidelines, sugar should make up less than 10 per cent of an adult’s total caloric intake. It’s recommended children consume fewer than six teaspoons of sugar daily. That’s the equivalent of 24 grams.

Many of us are consuming more than 10 times that each day.

Sour keys aside, there are 32 grams in a juice box and 39 grams in a can of Coke. Moreover, two-thirds of processed foods in Canada have sugar added. My kids could start their day with a glass of O.J. and a bowl of cereal and be well on their way to dangerous spikes in sugar before the sun rises.

This is bad for their longterm health outcomes, as the studies have shown. But it also impacts their attention spans, makes them cranky and, after a spike in energy, makes them sluggish. I see it.

So I put my foot down. Yes, they can have a pop on the weekend or an ice-cream when we’re camping. No, they can’t bring juice and Gatorade to sports camp, when what they really need is fresh fruit and water. Yes, penny candies are fine on occasion. But no, I don’t want to find their notso-sneakily hidden wrappers in the car door on a daily basis. meanest mom

In other words, I’m the meanest mom ever. But I’m OK with that. After a day of running around and eating lunches filled with whole grains, proteins and fresh vegetables, they were starving after summer camp. They went straight for the forbidden cupboard (where, admittedly, I stocked up on cheap Vachon cakes to take camping), but I stopped them in their tracks.

Fifteen minutes later, I presented them with a fresh couscous and chickpea salad.

They were so hungry, they ate it with gusto. I kid you not, one of them said, “This is so good. Can I have some more?”

So I guess sometimes, mean mom wins.

City to look at policy covering short-term rentals Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city needs to look at Airbnb and short-term rentals before we end up with a situation similar to that of Uber, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans introduced a motion at council on July 12 due in large part to complaints she’s received from residents of Hunt Club Park.

A home in the area has been rent-

ing out the basement and there are complaints of traffic, noise and waste.

Paul Norris, president of the Hunt Club Park Community Association, said residents haven’t come to him with complaints, but invites people to air their grievances at the community association’s annual general meeting on Sept. 26.

Chiarelli said in his area, it’s been an increasing problem since school ended.

Making a difference After the tragic loss of Teslin Russell on Dec. 31, 2016, to the ongoing opioid crisis, Teslin’s longstanding skating coach, Marie Palladini-Hamelin and the Glen Cairn Skating Club reached out to the community of Ottawa and local businesses to raise funds for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. The Tribute to Teslin charity event was held on April 28 at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata. The funds raised from the event amounted to $18,528. Club members hope to make a difference for young adults struggling today with addiction and mental health. Thank you Dave Smith for his dedication to helping the youth in our community and the Russell family for their commitment and support.

Break and enter suspects IDed

BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ottawa police say they have identified the two male suspects being sought following a break and enter in Kanata that saw stolen credit cards used for a number of purchases.

The males may be under the age of 18, said police in a news release issued on July 18.

Police sought the public’s help to identify the two males after a garage was entered along the 1-100 block of Zokol Crescent in Kanata Lakes during the overnight hours of June 11 and 12.

A wallet that contained bank cards was taken and the cards were used for “a number of fraudulent transactions” at various locations in the west end on July 12, between 2:20 and 3:35 a.m., said police.

“It was a mix of convenience

stores and gas bars in west end Ottawa,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, adding police wouldn’t say exactly where the cards were used or how many transactions occurred.

Nothing else was removed from the garage and “there was no evidence of forced entry,” said Haarbosch.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the break and enter unit at 613-2361222, ext. 2655. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477, or by downloading the Ottawa police app.

Haarbosch said it’s important for people to lock their doors, including entrances to a house from a garage.

“It’s important that people secure their main garage doors,” he said.

“And make sure any secondary entrances are secured, especially during overnight hours.”

Council appoints board of directors for markets

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Council approved the inaugural board of directors for the ByWard and Parkdale markets on July 12.

The city began working on a visioning exercise to shake up the management structure and the look of the two cityrun markets in 2012, in order to make them more competitive.

Aside from a new look, unveiled at ByWard earlier this summer, the shakeup also includes bylaw amendments to allow for microprocessors like coffee roasters, cheese-makers and jam producers. Smaller scale vendors will also be able to share stands.

But arguably the biggest change is a arms-length board of directors dubbed the municipal services corporation.

The idea is to lose some of the bureaucratic nature of the current market structure and tap some of the city’s entrepreneurial expertise.

Council approved the nine members following a review of more than 75 applications by a committee led by Couns. Mathieu Fleury and Jeff Leiper, as well as Mayor Jim Watson.

Peter Hume to chair inaugural board Continued from page 17

“I’m pleased that the recruitment of this board inspired such widespread interest among residents, who showed an inspiring level of support for the markets revitalization project,” Watson wrote in a press release. “The inaugural members of the board have impressive credentials and show exemplary levels of community involvement. Together, they embody the collective qualities to develop a clear,

innovative vision and launch a successful new management model for the ByWard and Parkdale markets.

The board will be led by a three-member executive committee, chaired by former Alta Vista Coun. and planning committee chair Peter Hume.

Dennis Jackson, the current chair of United Way Canada, will be vice chair and Chantal Gingras, president of Ginsberg Gingras and Associates is the third executive committee member.

The executive was appoint-

ed for a three-year term. Six additional board members were appointed, three for a two-year term and another three for one year.

The expertise ranges from agriculture to trade and industrial policy.

Fleury said the board will be an asset during the transition from city operations to the arms length corporation “I’m confident that the members selected represent a balance of skills and perspectives that will serve the markets well,” Leiper said.

Council uses bylaw to halt bunkhouses in six neighbourhoods

By Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Parking and trash are just some of the headaches councillors whose wards are home to the multi-bedroom residences deal with.

On July 12 council did something about it.

In a rare move, council approved an interim control bylaw that will put a one-year freeze on multiple bedroom residences — more popularly known as bunkhouses.

“I don’t support these lightly,” Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said of bylaw. “It’s meant to target extreme cases. We are

talking about four to six units on one floor of a building.”

Chernushenko said the high number of units in a building meant as a single family home or a small low-rise apartment building puts a burden on the city, because there isn’t the set up to store the waste that the number of residents create.

He said residents don’t know each other and are often unfamiliar with the city’s trash pick up schedule — which could create a real mess for the surrounding neighbours.

The bylaw will coincide with a review of the zoning for multiunit dwellings in residential neighbourhoods. The interim

bylaw buys council and city staff more time for that review.

The so-called bunkhouses, or illegal rooming houses, are often single-family homes split into several units.

The bylaw will concentrate on Sandy Hill, Heron Park, Old Ottawa East, Old Ottawa South, Centretown and Overbrook.

River Coun. Riley Brockington asked city staff how the areas were selected as targets for the bylaw.

The answer, from John Smit, manager of economic development and planning, said staff concentrated on areas of the city that have demonstrated problems with bunkhouses.

Developers can appeal the bylaw at the Ontario Municipal Board, but the bylaw would remain in effect until the outcome of the appeal is determined, staff told council.

The city’s planning boss Stephen Willis said staff would need a year to work with the public on a new policy. Staff will report to planning twice in the year.

SANDY HILL

Perhaps the most vocal of the neighbourhoods to deal with the bunkhouse issue is Sandy Hill.

Just the day before, Rideau-

Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury held back delegated authority for a site plan on a densely populated building proposed for 70 Russell Ave. in Sandy Hill.

Members of Action Sandy Hill spoke to the city’s planning committee about the project, condemning bunkhouses and their impact on the neighbourhood.

The development would see a single-family home replaced with a four-unit 21-bedroom building. The developer is TC United.

Willis said the application checked all the boxes, and the building plan has been reviewed, but Fleury said it “smells like a

rooming house.”

Mayor Jim Watson said he thinks the bunkhouse issue is an important one.

“It diminishes the quality of life in a neighbourhood,” he said. “Taking a property that houses a single home and turning into 30 bedrooms isn’t reasonable in residential neighbourhoods,” he said.

Watson said with the advent of light rail, there isn’t the same pressure for university and college students to live in the neighbourhood immediately adjacent to their school. He said with more options, students wouldn’t feel compelled to rent in buildings that are substandard.

It’s been a decade since the Kreative Kids Who Kare began raising funds for CHEO with a bottle drive.

The Crepeault family estimates it’s raised around $13,000 for the children’s hospital, said mom Wendy. This year’s bottle drive and bake sale will take place on July 29 at the family’s home and the Eva James Centre.

“We are so excited to be celebrating our 10th anniversary,” said Wendy. “We live in an amazingly generous community and we are so thankful to have their support in helping us to give to such a tremendous charity.”

Lily, who was the youngest when the fundraiser began, is now 11 years old – the same age eldest sibling Jacob was in 2007 – and today has two younger siblings.

The Crepeault family includes Wendy and husband Kevin, Jacob, 21, Hannah 19, Sarah, 17, Simon 15, Nathaniel 13, Lily 11, Joseph 5 and Samuel 2.

The fundraiser came about after Wendy and Kevin tasked their children to come up with a way to get involved with and help their local community.

Submitted

The Crepeault family will host its annual bottle drive and bake sale on July 29 beginning at 8 a.m. Last year's fundraiser brought in $2,860 for CHEO. “It started as a challenge from our parents to come up with a summer project that would keep us busy and help us get more involved,” said Sarah.

“We all decided CHEO would be a good charity to give to be-

cause we had all been there at some point in our life, and we had all received amazing care from the staff.”

All the Crepeault children have been to CHEO for a number of ailments – including eye

issues, pneumonia, viral arthritis and broken bones.

“We are blessed to have received the outstanding care given by the staff,” said Wendy.

See 10TH ANNUAL, page 21

10th annual bottle drive and bake sale set for July 29 Continued from page 20

“One of our children was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last September at CHEO, and we were again so very thankful to have been seen quickly and have been followed by the amazing team at the IBD clinic. We are thrilled to be able to continue helping in this very small way.”

Last year’s event raised $2,860 for CHEO, a number the family hopes to beat.

“We have never really set a specific amount to raise each year, but we do try and raise more than the previous year,” said Hannah. “As this is our 10th anniversary, we’re hoping to make this our biggest year yet.”

Hannah said the family has met a number of wonderful people and learned a lot over the years, including how to continue making it a successful event.

“They continue to support us each year which is really amazing,” she said. “We’ve learned how much work it is to organize something like this but how big of a difference even a little bit of money

can make. Even if the money we make helps one person, we’ve reached our goal.”

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The goal this year is to raise as much money as possible and to hopefully draw more volunteers to assist.

The family had to move the date of the event, which has impacted some regular volunteers’ ability to help.

“We are in desperate need of volunteers; both drivers and kids, teens and adults to help canvass,” said Wendy.

“We will happily sign volunteer sheets for teens willing to work hard and collect with us.”

Due to the smaller volunteer numbers, the family won’t be collecting items for the Kanata Food Cupboard.

“This year we are focusing just on the bottle collecting and bake sale for CHEO as we don't have the help we normally have,” Wendy said.

DETAILS

The 10th annual bottle drive and bake sale takes

place July 29, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at two locations: the Crepeault home located at 20 Redstone Lane and the Eva James Community Centre at 65 Stonehaven Dr. The CHEO mascot will make appearances at the centre throughout the day, said Wendy. Volunteers will canvass the Bridlewood neighbourhood, possibly expanding into Emerald Meadows if more people sign up to assist.

People can also drop off their empties at the Crepeault house and Eva James Centre or arrange for pickup before July 30.

“Our family created this fundraiser as a way to give back to our community,” said Sarah. “Our family continues to do this every year because it’s one of the things we look forward to doing every summer. It’s an event that brings our family as well as a lot of our friends together and it’s very rewarding to be able to give to such good cause.”

The family can be reached through email at crepeault602@bell.net or the Facebook page “Kreative Kids Who Kare Bottle Drive.”

Fans help raise thousands of kilos of food

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa football and soccer fans teamed up to help raise thousands of pounds of food for the Ottawa Food Bank.

From July 8 to 15, as part of the Purolator Tackle Hunger program, Purolator employees and fans of Ottawa RedBlacks and Ottawa Fury F.C. teamed up with Ottawa Food Bank volunteers to help raise the equivalent of 21,000 kilograms of food for the food bank.

The program, currently in its 15th season, focuses on raising awareness, food, and funds across Canada at one game in every Canadian Football League city.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Canada Summer Job Update Since the start of this spring’s flooding in West Carleton it was obvious that the clean-up operations would be substantial and more support would be needed.

I communicated these concerns directly to the Honourable Minister Patty Hajdu, who subsequently approved an increase in funding through the Canada Summer Jobs Program. This funding increase is targeted to companies that are working on the recovery and reconstruction efforts.

The targeted increase in funding will provide the opportunity for local companies to hire students who can work directly in the areas of our community that need it the most.

July 14th marks a special occasion for France as it celebrates the storming of the Bastille and the foundation of the Republic that it is today. I had the honour of celebrating this important day at the French Embassy with the newly appointed French ambassador, Mme. Kareen Rispal. It was great to see so many familiar faces, as we gathered to celebrate France’s incredible history of resilience and democracy.

In addition, the new Federal Infrastructure Bank will also invest at least $5 billion within the transportation trade routes. This comprehensive approach will ensure that the quality of trade infrastructure will be improved, which will help Canadian businesses compete and grow.

I recently had the opportunity to show students from the Australian National University around Parliament Hill while they are in Canada taking a summer politics course at Queen’s University. As I brought them through the House of Commons, we shared great exchanges about the differences between Canadian and Australian government. Clearly we weren’t the only ones with the idea to visit the House – we encountered Minister Bardish Chagger and Mr. Erin O’Toole also leading tours. I was happy to answer all of the students’ questions and to engage in such stimulating discussion with this generation’s young leaders.

Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group chief executive officer Bernie Ashe said the event is a great example of sports fans not only supporting the two teams, but also the Ottawa-Gatineau community.

“Sports is all about a group of people coming together for a common goal and we’re proud of RNation and our players for their work and being such strong ambassadors in supporting the Purolator Tackle Hunger program, which is vital to our community,” Ashe said.

Michael Maidment, executive director of the Ottawa Food Bank, said this food drive came at an important time for the organization.

“Our food and monetary donations are at their lowest during the summer months,” Maidment said.

“These events brings our community together and we’re appreciative of the generosity from Purolator, the Ottawa RedBlacks, the Ottawa Fury F.C., and all the fans. Thank you for helping us provide the best food possible to our neighbours.”

According to Food Bank Canada’s 2016 HungerCount report, more than 850,000 Canadians visit food banks every month.

Since 2014, Ottawa RedBlacks and Fury fans have helped raise 81,400 kilograms of food for families in need.

Last year, the program raised the equivalent of 750,000 kilos of food across the country.

Cut the wait for surgery and save lives: study

BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An increased risk of dying, longer recovery times and higher health-care costs can result from delaying emergency surgeries, according to a newly published first-of-itskind study by the Ottawa Hospital.

Researchers there have achieved a major first — compiling the evidence needed to explain the impact of delays on patient health. That's prompted more efficient scheduling at the hospital, leading to a decline in wait times and improved patient outcomes.

“Part of the importance of our work is that we demonstrated that our model predicts what happens to people. So that's more of an incentive to try to get people into the (operating room) faster," said Dr. Alan Forster, senior author of the study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on July 10.

“On average, it has this impact on mortality, it has impact on length of stay and impact on cost,” said Forster, vice-president of quality, performance and population health at the Ottawa Hospital.

Over the course of the analysis, the team examined data from 15,160 adults who underwent emergency surgery at the Ottawa Hospital between January 2012 and October 2014.

Of those, 19 per cent experienced a delay, mostly because no operating room or staff were available. More than half of those were bumped by more urgent cases.

“That just says we need to make sure the resources are available,” Forster said.

That will come with a finan-

An Ottawa Hospital research team, led by senior author Dr. Alan Forster, has uncovered evidence revealing the extent of the impact of delays in emergency surgeries, which include an increased risk of death, longer hospital stays and higher health-care costs. cial cost.

“Can we take money out of the hospital beds to put it into the operating room to make sure people get access quickly?” he said.

“If we need to expand our operating rooms, we’re going to have to take (funding) out of something.”

But the study offers other net benefits.

“If we guarantee we’re going to reduce hospital length of stay and cost, we can invest more in our operating room operations so that we can get people in faster,” Forster said.

Emergency surgeries, such as those done on burst blood

vessels, appendicitis, hip fractures, internal damage and blocked bowels or kidneys, make up 13 per cent of surgeries performed in Ontario.

The study showed that patients whose emergency surgeries were stalled had a 4.9 per cent risk of dying in hospital, while those who under-

Last week I attended the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs consultation on the new minimum wage bill. I heard from business owners from across eastern Ontario who told us what impact this new bill is going to have on them. They told us what I have been hearing ever since this bill was introduced, that this will be unaffordable.

Imagine having to incur a 30% increase to your household expenses overnight. I image there aren’t many people who could afford a change like that, I certainly couldn’t. But this is the reality Kathleen Wynne is forcing on our small and medium sized businesses.

On top of this increase the provincial government is adding new benefits that business owners aren’t prepared for. Making matters worse, business owners are being faced with employees who already make $15/hr expecting a raise in wages since they will soon only be making the minimum wage.

From what several permanent committee members said, it appears that what the concerns raised by our business owners weren’t specific to Ottawa, but are in fact shared by business owners around the province. So why then is our Premier forcing this irresponsible decision on already overly stressed business owners?

I only wish I had the answer.

Study findings could improve millions of lives globally: doctor

mid-summer

Continued from page 25

“The sooner you go in the better, but it’s often unclear what that time should be,” said Forster, an internist and professor at the University of Ottawa.

The study’s results led to the hospital’s creation of “an aggressive scale” to classify levels of urgency for when a patient should undergo an emergency surgery. They ranged from 45 minutes to 24 hours, much more ambitious than standards set out by Ontario's Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, which ranged from two to eight hours, in general.

There are no internationally recognized standards.

Under ministry guidelines, for instance, hip fractures require an operation within 48 hours. But the hospital’s study team learned from its own doctors that 24 hours should be the maximum. Forster pointed out the ministry doesn't have the ability to track the level of data needed to provide accurate time-frame standards.

Just three months into the research, the study prompted the development of a new scheduling system with dedicating operating room times for emergency surgeries. Elective surgeries were spread more evenly throughout the week.

This meant emergency surgeries were on schedule 95 per cent of the time, up consider-

“We jumped for joy,” said Forster. “It was almost immediate the benefits patients were experiencing. Our care providers were happier, patients were happier. It was great.”

GLOBAL BENEFIT

Studies such as this one can help hospitals carefully balance priorities, one reason why the team is gaining attention around the world for its study.

“This is not just a problem in Ottawa,” Forster said, adding that Ontario’s auditor general found that delayed wait times for emergency surgeries at community hospitals are a serious problem.

ONE DAY ONLY! SATURDAY, JULY 22

But if the Ottawa Hospital’s model is replicated elsewhere, health-care services can be delivered more efficiently and effectively. In fact, the report’s findings have the potential to benefit millions of lives around the world, said Forster.

“Our goal is really to help the people in our community receive excellent health care,” he said. “Health care has to change if we’re going to help.

“We want people to be healthy,” he said, adding that it’s about finding creative solutions to become more responsive. “We have to be able to do more with less because there’s more people needing health services and less money to spend.”

Sparky was king of the cats in the old barn

S

parky was older than I was.

And he ruled the roost as far as the cat population went at the farm. He was an orange colour, and one eye was green and the other blue. He certainly wasn’t much to look at.

The barn cats, and there were many of them, could be held and cuddled. Not Sparky! If I tried to pick him up, he would go stiff as a board, snarl, and glare at me, and act like maiming me for life was a distinct possibility. So, I left him alone.

The barn cats were never allowed in the house. Mother thought anything walking on four feet should be in the barn! I never knew where all the kittens came from. I thought everyone in Northcote had a pile of them, and I heard that some people, when the numbers grew, put them in a grist bag and threw them in the Bonnechere River. The very thought FOR SALE

barn. I couldn’t imagine how that was possible. He never left the place to bring a new cat to the farm.

And when I mentioned that fact to Everett, he just threw back his head and laughed.

Memories Sparky was as big as a small Collie dog, and he always looked sent chills right through my body, like he had had a serious confrontaand I was grateful none of our cats tion with some wild animal in the came to that end. bush, which he frequented often.

Sometimes he would be gone for days, and as soon as Father would two mile herman say “good riddance,” there Sparky And it wasn’t unusual for some- would appear as large as life.

That was when I first heard that one like Two Mile Herman to bring a cat had nine lives. How anyone a kitten to the Northcote School and try to talk someone into taking figured that out was beyond me. Did someone stop to count them? I did it home. This rarely worked, since we all had our own barnful of cats. know the barn cats survived many No one could remember when or close calls though. Often a cow would kick a cat and it would land where Sparky came from. But one day my older brother Everett said it several feet away, stand up, shake was Sparky who was responsible for itself off as if getting rid of the chaff from the hay laying around, the pack of cats we housed in the

and walk off as if nothing had happened.

I once asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey what the cats ate. We certainly never fed them.

There were several old battered tin plates in the barn that were filled with milk when the milking was done. But to me that was all they ever put in their stomachs. But Audrey said they survived on eating mice. That too, sent chills up my back. I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description.

So if the cats survived on mice and milk, they sure flourished. I once tried to give them names, but so many of them looked alike that I gave up. Except for Sparky. For the longest time he was the only one in the barn who had different coloured eyes.

On hot summer days, one of my favourite places was sitting on the FOR SALE

cement platform that held the pump and often a barn cat would wander over, and I would take it on my lap, and my greatest joy was when it snuggled down and started to purr.

Never in a hundred years could I do that with Sparky! new batch of kittens

Some of the barn cats were black and white, and sometimes a grey striped kitten would appear, and occasionally, I would go into the barn and find a new batch of kittens huddled in the hay, and they would be the spitting image of Sparky. Once I found one new kitten that even had two different coloured eyes.

I could never figure out how a new kitten could look like old Sparky. By way of explanation, my brother Everett would just say, “old Sparky’s been at it again” whatever that meant.

Deep under the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, a hum fills the air and sloped hallways lead around pipefilled corners. Doors dotted along either side open onto to a larger network of hallways and rooms.

One hall leads to an electrical substation that distributes about 20 per cent of the power the west-end campus requires to function around the clock. At a neighbouring building, another maze winds its way to the hospital’s main electrical substation.

“This is the main engine to the hospital and so this year we have decided it’s time to replace it,” said Joanne Read, vice-president of planning and support services at the Ottawa Hospital. “My team refers to this like a car.

You can change the engine in the car so many times but at one point the body just starts to wear out. We’ve been doing that with this substation for the last 50 years.

That replacement is being made possible due to a $6.16 million provincial injection. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, Bruyère Continuing Care, Montfort Hospital, Queensway-Carleton Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will receive a total of $8.8-million this year from the province’s hospital infrastructure renewal fund, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced July 11.

The dollars will go toward new roofs, windows, backup generators, meeting building code standards, and upgrading heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.

“This work is very important and it’s all based on need,” said Fraser, parliamentary assistant to the minister of Health and Long Term Care.

Though a new Civic campus is in the works, upgrades to the existing site are still required.

“The new hospital’s doors won’t open for at least 10 years. That doesn’t mean that we neglect the current infrastructure,” said Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, whose riding includes the campus. “(The) Civic is almost 100 years old and we need to make sure that its infrastructure is up to good form and continues to provide that quality health care.”

MOSQUITOS – This week I participated in the sweep testing of the Nuisance Mosquito Program. This gave me a chance to see what the GDG team is seeing on a day to day basis. We’ve had so much rain that, despite many treatments, with the land saturated with water, mosquitoes can breed anywhere, including wet grasses.

We also found an increase in numbers of blackflies, unusual for this time of year. Another issue is the amount of standing water in resident’s backyards, including ponds, bird baths etc. Some were found full of larvae so, if they are not cleaned out regularly, they’ll produce mosquitos. It’s been challenging but I’m confident that, if we did not have the program in place, we would have had even more mosquitoes. If you have problems with mosquitoes please contact GDG at info.moquito@gdg.ca or 1-877-227-0552 so they can address your concern quickly.

HYDRO CORRIDOR – I walked the Morgan’s Grant corridor with Hydro One last week to see what they plan and the impact of their removal of vegetation that is to commence on July 24, where they will leave flower plantings and groomed grass while removing most trees and shrubs.

Those lines also cross Beaverbrook and actually go over people’s backyards and a groomed City park. I’m working with members of the Community Association to discuss, how we will proceed to work with Hydro One on how to protect those lines without destroying the beautiful back yards and corridors in that area.

Many have lived there almost 50 years and Hydro One has always trimmed the trees and that’s what they want continued. So we will work on a plan to present to Hydro One to try and mitigate the impact of their work. Watch for a public meeting in the fall to present the plan and hear from Hydro One. BRIGIL AGREES ON PARKING FOR BATTERSEA DEVELOPMENT – They will add more parking to meet the City’s requirements by having two levels underground. They are still requesting the removal of the density gap, which was there due to a servicing capacity which no longer exists.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU – Visit the City website at cityofottawa.ca and click on upcoming engagement opportunities to provide your view on upcoming policies, programs and services.

EXTENSION OF CAMPEAU DRIVE – This week I met with city staff to see what we can do to speed up the process of extending Campeau Drive. In reviewing this complex project, it was concluded that the amount of work is far more extensive and complicated than first anticipated. I will continue to work to overcome the obstacles but it is unlikely that construction will start until next year.

UPCOMING PATHWAY AND ROAD WORK - You may see some work starting as early as next week on the installation of a multi-use pathway on Campeau Dr. from Teron Road to just past Knudson Drive, including a short section on Knudson. You will also see work being done tor restore some pathways in the Beaverbrook community, repaving of March Road from Campeau to Teron Road and geotechnical investigation on March road north of Maxwell Bridge.

Funds directed to ‘behind-the-wall’ items Continued from page 34

Susan Sallaj Ginn, director of planning and facilities at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in Nepean, said its $425,635 share will go toward a number of projects, including airhandling units, duct work and electrical distribution upgrades.

“It is patient care,” she said.

“Sometimes facilities are noted as those behind-the-wall items and … it’s instrumental for what we do every day.”

Daniel Levac, Bruyère Continuing Care president and chief executive, said its $551,757 portion will pay for relocating and upgrading a transformer at the Élisabeth Bruyère hospital site in Vanier, for example.

“This is key to us because our building was built in different stages going back to the 1930s,” Levac said. “It’s muchneeded funds. There’s always requirements for more.”

CHEO, located in the Riverview Park community, has a younger building, but ongoing upkeep and maintenance are needed.

“A 43-year-old hospital,

amount last year for infrastructure projects.

“For us there’s a long list of what this money will be used for — more than 11 projects,” Squires said. “No. 1, it’s about ensuring we can provide accessible care to patients, but No. 2, in a safe environment.

“We’ve come to count on it for sure,” he said of the funding. “It’s critical.”

Growing patient demand leads to wear and tear on the building, but also the need to change how space is used.

CHEO’s emergency department is growing, there are more outpatient visits and an increased demand for more surgeries, said Squires, adding that an annex is in the process of being added to the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre to address space constraints.

“Some of it is driven by volume, some of it is driven by age, some of it is driven by changing requirements as care changes,” he said.

City looks to ease process for flood-affected homes by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

As the cleanup continues and homeowners begin to contemplate rebuilding their homes damaged by flood waters this spring, city staff will be working on making the process easier.

On July 12, council approved a review of the process for granting permits for the reconstruction of existing buildings and structures without the

need for minor variances.

More than 275 properties along the Ottawa River were affected by flooding in May. “It’s about time to get these people back into their homes,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder.

While the city’s top planning boss, Stephen Willis, said staff is making flood reconstruction permit requests a priority, there hasn’t been many requests yet.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said many homeowners are still working out the details with their insurance.

Blais wants to give staff the delegated authority to waive building permit fees for affected homeowners.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans asked about the advisability of rebuilding in the floodplains.

“Are there federal programs to help people relocate?” she asked.

Willis said anything rebuilt will

likely be required to be flood protected, meaning the building will likely sit higher off the ground, but added there’s no pot of money for relocation being made available.

The province has implemented the Disaster Recovery Assistance Program, but there is a $250,000 limit in compensation for emergency expenses and repairs. Homeowners can only apply for benefits to return the house to a “basic” condition. The amount

simple task to make the transaction “legal” so that I get my money free and clear of future problems?

Not so fast. The role of your legal counsel is not to make something “legal”. You can (mostly) do that on your own, although you may not end up happy with the results. The role of legal counsel is to advise and counsel you through the transaction in the allocation of risks, the resolution of issues and the documentation of agreements. Although the documentation of agreements appears to be the “work product” of your legal counsel, it is the advisory and counsel role, and the resolution of issues, that forms much of the value-added work of your legal counsel.

For example, as the vendor of a business (whether shares or assets), you will be expected by the purchaser to represent and warrant many statements of “fact” which if later turn out to be untrue, give rise to claims by the purchaser. The role of legal counsel includes advising you as to which statements of “fact” ought to be acceptable, which may be overreaching without

Council passed a motion in May, allowing residents affected by the flood to defer their June property tax payments until December.

Mayor Jim Watson, who backed the property tax deferral motion, said the extra time will provide much-needed relief to those dealing with the outcome of the flood.

some qualification, and which may be inadvisable for you to accept at all, and to develop a strategy with you to respond to the purchaser’s demands. The resolution of issues includes identifying defects in title to shares or assets and determining how those defects may be remedied, the existence of security interests over the business or your interests and how those security interests are addressed such that the purchaser is willing to complete the purchase. Often there are third parties affected by the transaction that have to be considered, including obligations to landlords, employees and others.

Your legal counsel should be able to assist you to understand what and why particular risks are usual or normal, negotiate solutions and to manage the process to achieve your desired outcome. Determination of the price is only a starting point.
