MPP MacLaren to run for re-nomination in Kanata-Carleton

Up and over Makayla Barta, riding Duncan, leaps over a fence during the Ottawa National Horse Show at Wesley Clover Parks on July 16. The event took place from July 13 to 17 and was a qualifier for the Royal Agriculture Fair in Toronto.

‘We fully intend to carry on’: PC MPP Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren says he will run for the Progressive Conservative nomination in the new riding of Kanata-Carleton.

The Progressive Conservative incumbent – in what

is currently the riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills – began knocking on doors about two weeks ago, he said. The riding will be reshaped before the next provincial election – scheduled for 2018 – and take on the name Kanata-Carleton.

Wilkinson wins bid for field house in expansion plan Beacon Hill Cyrville Coun. calls motion a ‘birds nest’ Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was able to include the construction of a field house in the July 13 council approval of the Kanata North urban expansion plan.

It will be a place to store sports equipment and may provide some meeting space.

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

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

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

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

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

leap-frogging other communities that are waiting for recreation centres.

Coun. Jan Harder, chair of the planning committee, said the discussion the previous day dealt with the issue of leap-frogging.

“The work on this was outrageous,” she said.

We dealt with the idea of queue jumping.”

The motion passed with a vote of 14-9.

The expansion plan had 27 versions before the one council voted on July 13.

Wilkinson thanked community members who attended nearly two dozen meetings to provide their input.

Now that the plan has been approved, developers should start submitting applications by the end of year, with subdivisions being registered in 2018.

park.

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

One of the sticking points for residents who were part of the working group was the lack of a gathering place. But community buildings are in high demand and several councillors took issue with putting one in the plan for the expansion because they saw it as queue jumping.

Beacon Hill Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney called the motion “bird’s nest” and said that the issue had been at mess at planning just the day before.

Wilkinson’s motion would ensure that the field house would be paid for by fundraising and not the city.

But Tierney said the plan still allows for

Resource centre unveils all gender washrooms Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre unveiled all gender inclusive washroom signage at its various locations last week.

The move is a welcome one, especially for people who are transgender, those who identify along the gender spectrum (which includes more than binary male and female genders), and for families with children, said Agnès, a member of the community resource centre’s Queerios youth group, a drop-in program for youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and more (LGBTQ+).

“This is a step forward,” Agnès said, who prefers not to have their last name published and to use they/them pronouns. “They know not everyone identifies as a man/ woman.

“And gender neutral washrooms aren’t just for trans people. I know of men’s washrooms that don’t have change tables. With a gender

neutral washroom that has a change table, fathers can change their child.”

Signs for 19 of the centre’s washrooms in three locations have been updated to read “All Gender” in English, French and Braille, and feature images of a toilet, an accessibility symbol and a person changing a baby.

“We’re sending a message that we’re welcoming all people,” said Maria Friis, community developer with the WOCRC. “The all gender washroom is for all people. It’s being inclusive of all populations.”

The change came in response to a conversation that began with members of the Queerios youth drop-in program, as well as a committee evaluating the inclusivity of the centre, said Friis.

“The youth had identified that the washroom signage that we currently had, with the traditional images of a man and a woman, was leaving some people out,” said Friis. “It’s a horrible, miserable feeling – there are lots of health-related issues when

people are feeling isolated.”

Forcing transgender people and those who identify along the gender spectrum to use gender-specific washrooms invalidates and erases their identifies, and can also pose safety issues.

“That’s not always the best for someone’s mental health,” said Agnès, adding people should be able to use bathrooms without risk to personal safety.

The bathrooms are accessible and have change tables.

Friis said she hopes other organizations – such as schools, workplaces and centres – look at how they can be more inclusive as well.

“The ideas of basic dignity and respect and justice, those core values are important for all people,” she said.

All gender washroom signs were installed on July 7 at the resource centre’s main location (2 MacNeil Crt.), its Community Support Services branch (3865 Old Richmond Rd.) and at Chrysalis House, a women’s shelter.

Some washroom signage remains gender specific.

Some residents awoken by overnight construction noise on Terry Fox Drive Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Some residents in Katimavik were startled awake by construction noise on Terry Fox Drive in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 10.

Beth Patterson said she awoke to the sound of trucks backing up around 3 a.m.

“You can hear the beep beep beep of the trucks,” she said, adding her windows were open to let in the breeze.

The city approved overnight construction for July 9 and 10 for the stretch of Terry Fox between Maple Grove Road and the Palladium Drive-Katimavik Road intersection.

Approval for overnight work is “very rare” but was granted so the major arterial roadway could be closed to traffic from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. with minimal impact, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

“It happens only for extreme circumstances,” he said. “Major arterials like Terry Fox, the only time we’re allowed to close them are July and August because traffic volumes drop.”

Hubley said his office didn’t receive the go-ahead for the overnight work until late Thursday and the weather forecast was a factor in the decision.

The city delivered letters to 37 homes in the immediate area by noon the following day to inform residents of the planned work.

“We had given them notice but, granted, it wasn’t enough notice,” said the councillor, adding his office received numerous calls and emails relating to the overnight construction.

“I try to get notice out at least a week in advance,” he said. “There were some issues with that.”

He added the 24-hour work in the area is complete and construction will continue during regular hours.

Living outside the immediate construction zone, near the intersection of McCurdy Drive and Maple Grove Road, Patterson didn’t receive notice of the overnight work from the city.

“Indirectly, directly affected,” she said many residents were left with questions.

“I was at bridge yesterday and everyone was asking, ‘What’s happen-

ing?’” she said. “The traffic has been interesting to say the least and the chaos along Terry Fox this weekend certainly prompted many questions.”

The construction along Terry Fox is expected to continue until the end of August, said Andy Smith, manager of design and construction, in an email. The city’s media relations department did not make Smith available for a phone interview.

Asked to explain the city's protocol when it comes to overnight noise exemptions, how common the practice is and what kind of notice is provided to residents, Smith wrote, "An exemption to the noise bylaw was issued to the contractor in order to allow work to proceed along Terry Fox last weekend. Nearby residents received a notice at their home as is the normal procedure when this sort of activity is required. No further overnight activity is planned at this time."

The city is installing large sewer pipes to accommodate new homes being built in Stittsville’s Fernbank development. An additional 1,500 homes are planned for the area, said Hubley.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Crews work to install sewer infrastructure at the corner of Terry Fox Drive and Katimavik Road on July 13.

“There’s no sewer issues in that area – it’s to provide capacity to the newer homes so we don’t have sewer issues,” he said. “I lived the experience when we had failing infrastructure (in Glen Cairn). I don’t want to have that happen when I'm the councillor, so I pushed to have the work done before people move in.”

A new pumping station is also being built on Maple Grove, wrote Smith.

The sewer pipes will run along Maple Grove to Terry Fox, up Terry Fox to Katimavik, and from there to Eagleson Road where it connects to the sewer system, he said. The work is expected to stretch into 2018.

Katimavik Road has been closed – between Terry Fox and Davis Av-

enue – since July 4 to accommodate much of the work along that stretch.

The street was expected to reopen on July 17, but Smith said the road will remain closed for at least another week.

“The contractor’s original schedule intended to re-open the section of Katimavik by July 17. The construction activities in this area are continuing and the contractor will require an additional week to reopen the road,” wrote Smith. “As part of this project, a new multi-use pathway will be constructed along Katimavik.”

Construction will continue along Katimavik Road after the road reopens. Hubley said he hopes the work is wrapped up by the time school starts in September.

West district investigators are asking for the two male witnesses, or "anyone with information about the identity of the witnesses," to contact police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Chris Botchar at 613236-1222, ext. 2642. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa police app.

The OPP child sexual exploitation unit has charged a 46-year-old Kanata man following a five-week child pornography investigation.

In June 2016, police from the Queensland Australia Federal Police identified an unknown person making available child sexual abuse images via the internet. Upon further investigation, a male was identified and believed to be residing in eastern Ontario.

The matter was turned over to the OPP child sexual exploitation unit for investigation.

On July 13, police executed a search warrant at a Kanata residence. Three computer devices and other items were seized containing child sexual abuse images. These items are pending forensic analysis.

The suspect is charged with one count of making child pornography, two counts of possession of child pornography, one count of making child pornography available and one count of voyeurism.

The accused was held in custody and was scheduled to attend a bail hearing on July 18 in Ottawa. The investigation is continuing.

Centenarian credits long life to positivity, genetics Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Dr. Andrew Mackie credited celebrating his 100th birthday to a positive outlook and good genes.

“Quite a bit to genetics and the other I guess, after all these years, I’d have to say positivity – in a nice way, not an aggressive way,” said Mackie.

The centenarian and retired medical practitioner was surrounded by family, friends and well-wishers at not one but two parties – one at the Cheshire Cat Pub on July 12 (his birthday) and the other at the Empress Kanata Retire-

ment Residence on July 14.

“There were 65 people at my birthday party (at the Cheshire Cat), every one of them a friend,” said Mackie, who’s been living in the Kanata residence for about 20 years.

The room at the Empress was also filled with friends and family when Mackie was piped to his seat by a bag-piper who heard of his birthday and wanted to participate.

Mackie was worried he wouldn’t make friends when he and his wife Sherry moved to Ottawa to be closer to their two daughters, Gail White and Wendy Engel, more than 20 years ago.

“We were very nervous about leaving Kitchener,” he said. “I wondered if I’d make any new friends. Well, two weeks after we’d been here we were all enthusiastic about Ottawa.”

And his social calendar is filled every week. On Sundays Mackie goes to the Royal Oak for jazz, Tuesdays he visits the Cheshire Cat, Wednesdays are earmarked for the Kiwanis Club, Fridays he goes to the Old Mill at Ashton and once a month a Thursday is reserved for Queens University pub night.

It was during a trip to the ByWard Market for pub night that Mackie wound up at the Empress.

He tripped while entering the pub and broke his hip.

“But it was on the way in,” he laughed.

Following an operation, he convalesced at the Empress.

“I didn’t leave. This is the most pleasant environment that ever could be,” said Mackie. “I couldn’t be more contented or appreciative of this place. It’s the staff that make the place.”

Mackie grew up in Pembroke and studied medicine at Queens University. He interned in general medicine, surgery and obstetrics.

Mackie credits his father for becoming a doctor.

“When I finished high school I went out to Jasper Park Lodge for the summer – I had a great time,” said Mackie. “When I came home my father sat me down and said, ‘Son, you’ve finished high school, you’ve have a great summer, what are your plans?’

“I said, ‘Well dad I thought I would go to university and get a degree in commerce and finance and then come home and join you in the insurance business, but my mathematics are so poor I wouldn’t last long.’

“And my father said, ‘Well son, I guess that’s right.’ And there was a long pause. He said, ‘Son, why don’t you think about medicine?’

“Now I can still hear myself. My enthusiastic reply was, ‘Gee dad I guess that’d be alright.’”

It turned out to be the right move. A year before he finished his studies, Mackie was working in Peterborough, Ont., when a patient was rushed in for an emergency appendix operation.

“I was sent up to the room to do a blood count. I took the finger, I pricked it, got a drop of blood and went down and did the blood count,” said Mackie. “And a year and a half later we were married.

“Sherry, she made my life,” he said.

Following Mackie’s graduation, the two moved from Peterborough to Renfrew, where Mackie worked in general medicine for 20 years.

After he retired in 1964, the office nurse gathered the records and tallied how many babies he delivered over the course of his career.

“I was staggered. I found out the

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South

number was 2,071,” said Mackie.

“It’s unbelievable. I had no idea. It’s staggering.

“I never gave any thought to accomplishment. It was just that I did my very, very best for every patient.”

His daughter Wendy Engel was at the party on July 14.

“We’ve just been blessed to have him for so long,” she said. “Hopefully the family genes mean we have him for a few more years. He’s an outstanding man and father.”

Week in Review Last week council approved a new organizational chart for your city. We will go from 21 senior managers down to 9. The new managers have a mandate to shape their new departments to ensure the core services you count on are delivered in the most cost effective manner possible. This means more change is coming in an effort to serve you better while respecting your tax dollars. The Mayor, the City Manager and I form the Budget Review panel that will monitor the costs as they evolve.

Dr. Andrew Mackie credits celebrating his 100th birthday to a positive outlook and good genes.

Cuts show how bloated city management is

A

new city manager is in charge over at city hall, and now there is a major restructuring going on.

The first major move of that restructuring was rubber stamped last week when council voted unanimously to axe the city’s two deputy city clerks and deputy city manager positions after a briefing by city manager Steve Kanellakos.

While Kanellakos says more is to come to find efficiencies in the city’s operations, for now what the restructuring means is that a dozen management positions are being shed in order to streamline operations.

The plan, as outlined by Kanellakos, will cut “senior leader� positions down to nine, from 21.

That the city administration now believes it can hack away at “senior leader� positions so that the number drops to nine from 21 begs the question, how did the number of senior positions balloon up to 21 in the first place?

Who was watching and keeping the city’s administration from getting so bloated?

At the briefing at city hall, Kanellakos said the changes would save the city $2.7 million over the next two years. The city will have to pay out $1.29 million in severance.

Kanellakos said he talked to 2,600 of the city’s 17,000-person workforce in the two months leading up to unveiling his plan, which has the full backing of Mayor Jim Watson.

According to Kanellakos, this is the first step and he will be working with the new senior leadership team who will be responsible for the next steps to come. “This includes a review of other levels of the organization to find opportunities to consolidate and streamline,� his memo to council reads.

That sounds good, but what the real impact will be going forward is still in doubt. Most of the people being shifted out of these senior positions appear to already have other jobs at city hall to fall back on.

And, of course, all residents of Ottawa should keep a close watch on city hall to make sure that as time goes by, the administration doesn’t start to fatten up yet again.

Open arms and open hearts flourish in Canada

O

n July 6, Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Ramadan fast. I was invited to meet one of Canada’s newest families at their upper level duplex near downtown Ottawa.

As I walked slowly across the street, I could hear the sound of laughter echoing from the open window. I double-checked the address, uncertain that the family of four could be responsible for these festive sounds.

I knocked on the door. Jana* answered, a smile beaming across her face. “Eid Mubarek,� I said. “Eid Mubarek!� she responded.

She invited me into the small living room, where her two young daughters, age six and four, were laughing and playing in their summer dresses.

Last autumn, the news image of a dead Syrian toddler face down on a beach in Syria was a call to action for many Canadians. It propelled Canada’s previously low-profile Private Sponsorship of Refugees

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Program into the spotlight, as Canadians raised money, formed groups of five and partnered with government-approved sponsoring organizations in their attempt to do something in the face of the Syrian migrant crisis.

In October, the Liberals made good on an election process to fast-track the applications for 25,000 Syrian refugees from United Nations-approved lists across the Middle East. It is the largest resettlement effort since Canada received 69,000 Vietnamese “boat people� between 1975 and 1980.

When the government abruptly halted Syrian refugee sponsorships in March, public outcry forced them to reduce the decision.

Another 10,000 Syrian refugees are

expected to arrive in Canada by the end of the year; some government assisted refugees, but many through private sponsorship.

Time will tell how easily the newcomers will integrate into Canadian society. Private sponsorship is a beacon concept, however. A government evaluation has shown that privately-sponsored refugees acquire language skills more quickly, enter the workforce sooner and have better health outcomes than government assisted refugees.

Observing Jana’s family and their interactions with four of their sponsors, it’s easy to see how having an on-the-ground Canadian team dedicated to help them navigate the future can boost their success. One of the sponsors comes late to our Eid gathering and thrusts a fistful of coins into each of the young girls’ hands. “Eid Mubarek,� she says. Another runs ahead, as we walk to the local playground, helping the girls cross the street.

In the initial few weeks, sponsors were on-hand daily to take

the family to medical and dental appointments, open bank accounts and register both the adults and children for school. Since then, Jana tells me, there is someone visiting many times per week. I tell her I’ve heard some Syrian families have complained that their sponsors are overbearing. I ask her if it’s too much. “It’s not too much,� says Jana. “We’ve asked for it. We want them here with us.�

Jana and I converse with ease as we walk with her husband, the children and four of their Canadian sponsors to the park. She tells me about the day they arrived in Ottawa, following a sleepless few hours in a Toronto airport hotel and a 14-hour plane journey from Beirut.

They were disoriented, unsure what their next steps would be – would they take a bus somewhere? Find shelter?

Her husband said he was nervous, but Jana says she was not nervous. “I told him not everyone is lost here like in Lebanon.�

A few minutes later they spotted their name, written in Arabic, on a sign.

many crying, waving and cheering. “We didn’t know there would be a group for us,� Jana tells me, beaming. Although she doesn’t use the word, she describes her relationship with the sponsors like one would an extended family. She says, after three years in a refugee camp, her sponsors and Canada have shown her that she can be happy. “Whenever we’ve needed anything, one of them has been there for us,� she says. “I’m very happy in Canada.

Sensitivity training a ‘positive experience’: MacLaren Continued from page 1

“We fully intend to carry on and compete in this nomination meeting and work our way to the election and win the election because I enjoy this job,” MacLaren said on July 14, sitting at a conference table in his Kanata constituency office.

“I would say we have a lot of trust and respect from a lot of constituents now who are encouraging me to carry on and to seek the nomination and run in the election in 2018 and they would like to have me continue as their MPP because they say they’re satisfied with the work that I do. They like me, they like having me as their representative. And I like being their representative.”

Two other riding residents launched their campaigns for the provincial PC nomination in Kanata-Carleton on June 28.

Rick Keindel, a retired staff sergeant with the Ottawa police, announced his bid in a news release. Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, a health advocate and retired physician, held a launch party at the Kanata Golf and Country Club.

MacLaren, who was first elected in 2011 after ousting then-incumbent MPP Norm Sterling during the PC nomination process, said he welcomes the competition.

“We look forward to competition in the race,” he said.

“I have to consider them to be worthy opponents and we’re going to work hard to fight fair and square.”

MacLaren said the encouragement of supporters, as well as the Ontario Landowners Association (of which he is a past-president), held him up during a “difficult time.” MacLaren faced heavy criticism earlier this year for telling a crude joke during a Men’s Night event. He was also panned for posting testimonials with fake names and photos on his website.

DIFFICULT TIME

“That was an awful experience, brutal,” he said.

He was removed as the eastern Ontario representative of the Conservative caucus and ordered to undergo sensitivity training by PC Leader Patrick Brown.

“I have to say (training) was a positive experience; probably told me things that really, I should more obviously have known, and it just drove it into me,” he said.

“It was really good and it’s just a matter of being more careful, more considerate. What I did was intended to be humourous but failed and it seemed to cause hurt.

There was no intention to cause hurt, but I guess I’d have to say it did. So I have to be more careful and not do that kind of thing again. And I assure you I won’t. Tough lesson, but I learned it."

As his party's outreach ambassador to a number of ethnic communities, MacLaren said his favourite aspect of the job – aside from helping those who reach out – is meeting new people.

“It really is the people. The

ethnic folks have been great.

You know, I’m a rural Ontario white farm boy and so I was never exposed to all these different ethnic groups,” he said. “One of the great things of my job is I meet all these different kinds of people who come from different places, different religions, and I always find I meet great people.”

A proponent of city deamalgamation and lower taxes, MacLaren said government needs to do better job of helping people, specifically those with autism, mental health issues and seniors.

“Corporate welfare, I would say, should stop,” he said. “Businesses need the freedom to do what they need to do and be creative and innovative and not be taxed to death, but as far as giving companies money to build plants or factories or hire people, I think that’s a false economy. And when we have autistic kids and mental health and seniors needing help, those dollars should go there first.

“In some cases we have the greatest country in the world but we wouldn’t be judged too well the way we look at autism, mental health or some of our seniors. It’s getting worse, not better.”

Asked if he’s ready to face criticism in seeking renomination, MacLaren said he wants to continue helping his constituents, doing a job he enjoys.

“The criticism is losing steam, shall we say. Time passes and I think we’ve addressed that problem.”

Dorion also defended MacLaren during the misogynistic joke scandal that made national headlines this spring. It was one of the few tweets that wouldn’t prove offensive to most people.

According to Dorion’s LinkedIn account, he is a Carleton-Mississippi Mills PC Riding Association director (which is MacLaren’s riding) since 2011 to present, and former president and vice-president of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Federal Conservative Riding Association, once held by Gordon O’Connor.

He is also a well-known director of the West Carleton Fish and Game Club.

MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, condemned the tweets and has since removed Dorion from her list of followers.

TWITTER

J.P. Dorion is no longer followed by two prominent conservatives, concerned about his offensive tweets.

Read us online

Jack MacLaren

A former high-ranking local conservative has regularly posted racist, sexist, and antiMuslim comments on his Twitter account for years now.

Metroland Media learned on July 12 that Jean-Paul (J.P.) Dorion counted among his followers prominent Ottawa MPPs Lisa MacLeod and Jack MacLaren, and the PC Party of Ontario. In just the past few months, @dorionhawk has tweeted racist opinions such as: • “No loss ... repeat criminal, waste of flesh” in response to a black man killed by Baton Rouge police; • “Booze always a factor with natives” in response to a story about accidental aboriginal youth deaths; • “Dirty n!#*er kills Americans w/refugees” about refugees with active TB being sent to Idaho; • “Another Mexican criminal in Canada” about Mexico’s president dining with Justin Trudeau.

Sexist tweets over the same period include: • “Typical african american animal” in response to a viral video showing white officers violently arresting a black woman; • “New symbol for transgender washroom” linked to a photo of Michelle Obama; • “Disband corrupt UN & send entitled bitch home” in relation to a story about climate change chief Christiana Figueres entering race to head UN. Anti-Muslim tweets include several linked to Barack Obama. Catholics are not

for and unhelpful during these serious times.”

Reached by telephone at his work, Dorion said he is no longer with the PC Party of Ontario. He refused to deny that the tweets are racist and sexist.

“I am no longer affiliated with them,” Dorion said. “I have no time for you.” He then hung up.

His Twitter account describes him as: “Conservative, hunter, fisherman, single malt loving Canadian. Executive board member West Carleton Fish & Game Club… Go Trump … Build that wall!”

Dorion was closely linked to MacLaren, even before joining the riding executive. The two were members of the right-leaning Ontario Landowners Association, and Dorion ran for Ottawa city council in 2006 unsuccessfully against current West Carleton councillor Eli El-Chantiry, a Liberal suporter. He received 33 per cent of the vote to El-Chantiry’s 67 per cent.

MacLaren commented by way of email through his media spokesman, William Morrison, before unfollowing Dorion the next day. The tweets weren’t denounced in the email.

“MPP MacLaren is a follower of J.P. on Twitter, but to the best of my knowledge he does not read J.P.’s tweets,” Morrison said.

“Twitter following of anyone or being followed does not imply knowledge of tweets or an endorsement.”

Morrison’s email contained an attachment of a recent pro-tolerance speech by MacLaren, who underwent sensitivity training following a sexist incident involving federal Liberal MP Karen McCrimmon at a Carp Fair fundraiser in March.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills Progressive-Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren said it’s been years since he’s seen a former member of his campaign team who has regularly posted racist and sexist comments on Twitter.

J.P. Dorion, a former high-ranking local conservative, worked on MacLaren’s campaign team in 2011 entering constituents’ data into a computer program, said the Progressive Conservative MPP. “His thing was sitting at a computer inputting data,” said MacLaren. “He wasn’t a door knocking person; he wasn’t sort of the outgoing

MacLaren unfollows Dorion on Twitter, says two weren’t friends JACK MACLAREN MPP, CARLETON-MISSISSIPPI MILLS

MacLaren said Dorion enjoyed politics and signed up to be a volunteer, something the campaign team is always looking for.

MacLaren also stressed in a tweet that Dorion was never president of his riding association (the Metroland story did not suggest he was).

Information on Dorion’s LinkedIn account, including his affiliation with the PC riding association and federal Conservatives, was updated as of July 15.

The account states he was a Carleton-Mississippi Mills PC Riding Association director from 2011-14; president of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Federal Conservative Riding Association 2005-07; and vice-president of the same federal group from 2004-05.

Local paddlers face ‘relentless waters’ at Rio Olympics Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Local paddlers Cameron Smedley and Michael Tayler will face unyielding waters when they compete at the Rio Olympics, which begin on Aug. 5.

“The course is relentless and there’s so many features,” Tayler said.

“In Rio there are probably 40 or 50 different waves that you have to remember and everything is very unique. It makes it a lot of fun, but also makes it a lot of work to see how the water reacts.”

Tayler, from Westboro, and Smedley, from Dunrobin, leave for the Games on July 22 to begin their stay in the Olympic Village. The Games are Tayler’s second – he competed in London in 2012, finishing 20th in the men’s kayak slalom event.

This is Smedley’s first Games; he’ll compete in the canoe slalom.

This will be the pair’s third time travelling to Rio, preparing for the Olympics.

Since their first trip, the course has been modified, cleaning up some inconsistent features.

“It’s a little bit nicer to

173Goldridge.com

paddle now, and I feel more comfortable on the course,” Smedley said.

It’s the kind of course Tayler prefers.

“It’s a lot of fun to paddle there, and it’s really playful. I went down for the first time in March and wasn’t a huge fan of it – they made some changes, and now it’s just awesome,” he said.

Most of the sweating is done. It’s been four years of training, all to get to the Games next month.

“The hard work is done, now it’s just fine tuning,” Tayler said, over the sounds of summer campers learning to paddle at the Pumphouse Whitewater Course near Lebreton Flats on July 13.

He’s going in hoping to bring some hardware back to Canada.

“I can’t go in and say that’s not the goal. It really comes down to the feeling of that race and if I feel like I’ve performed and done what I was able to do on that day, I’ll be satisfied,” he said.

While Smedley is a little more hesitant to say he’s hoping for a medal – saying he’s hoping for a clean and consistent run – Tayler knows it could be in the cards.

“Cameron’s being really modest here. He was a bronze medallist at the test event, so I think we can see big things from him,” he said. Smedley also won silver at the Pan American Games in 2015.

Concerns about the Zika virus, contracted via bites from infected mosquitoes, still plague the upcoming competitions, and Smedley said Canadian athletes are listening closely to advisories from the Canadian Olympic Committee.

“Of the water sports, I think we have the best-case scenario because it’s a closed loop, so they are able to control the water quality a lot better than the lagoon and bay area,” Smedley said, addressing those Zika concerns.

For his first Games, Smedley’s not quite sure what to expect, except bigger crowds and more noise during competitions.

It’s a far cry from growing up in canoes and going on trips with his family – his brother, sister and mom will be attending the Games to support him.

“We’ve always been canoetripping. We have pictures where I’m just stuffed up into the bow of a canoe going out to Algonquin Park,” Smedley said.

The Olympic stage is one of the biggest for athletes and both are looking forward to all the Games have to offer, but competing will surely be the highlight for both Smedley and Tayler.

“It’s the big dream. The big goal that very few people can actually do,” Tayler said.

Local paddlers Michael Tayler and Cameron Smedley are heading to Rio on July 22 to start their stay in the Olympic Village, ahead of the Games, which start on Aug. 5.

Ottawa soccer teams head to Gothia Cup in Sweden ‘It’s like the world cup for the kids’: Kanata coach Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

An Ottawa soccer academy is sending two of its teams to the Gothia Cup in Sweden this week.

Players on the U14 and U17 boys teams at the Kevin Nelson Soccer Academy will fly out on Friday, July 15, to represent Ottawa and Canada in the World Youth Cup running July 17 to 23.

“The Gothia Cup is a big deal. It’s like the World Cup for the kids,” said academy founder and former pro soccer player Kevin Nelson. “They are so excited.”

The Gothia World Youth Cup is the largest youth soccer tournament in the world. Last year saw more than 1,700 teams from 74 nations participate in more than 4,400 games on 110 fields over the course of the tournament.

“It’s the teams and participants from around the world that make the

A meeting place for the world’s youth, irrespective of religion, skin colour or nationality, with football as the common denominator,” says the website.

The opening ceremonies and first games kick off on July 18.

The Kevin Nelson Soccer Academy’s U14 squad will be one of 230 teams from 31 nations in that age category, while the U17 team will participate along with 98 teams from 29 nations in the U18 age group.

Nelson, who lives in Kanata and founded the academy in 2014, played pro soccer around the world and said participating in the tournament is an experience of a lifetime for the players in terms of play and cultural education.

“It’s a great opportunity to give these boys; the culture, the tournament,” he said, adding the teams will have the chance to visit landmarks and take a boat tour.

“It has an educational component

– they get to see a different culture,” said Nelson.

“The spectators treat you like, I don’t want to say heroes, but like ‘Wow, soccer players from different countries.’ All eyes will be on them.

It’s bigger than just playing football.

It’s a lifetime experience.”

Players at the academy come from across Ottawa and the Valley and train at Carleton University and Brewer Park, and sometimes at other centrally located fields, said Nelson.

The players train four to five days a week, and he said fundraising efforts by the parents and the teams’ sponsors has been helpful.

“I'm very thankful for the support of the parents and the sponsors who have sponsored the kids,” said Nelson. “It’s all about the kids. The kids want to do this. It’s their dream.”

The Gothia Cup will stream live on its website with the first matches taking place July 18. For details, visit gothiacup.se/eng.

City property assessments well below provincial average Treasurer blames public service layoffs, sluggish condo market for below average increases Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is well below the provincial average for increases in residential property assessments, coming in at an average of 3.45 per cent. That is well below the 18 per cent increase residents in the Greater Toronto Area are seeing.

Other cities in eastern Ontario, such as Brockville, Kingston, Cornwall and Pembroke will see a five per cent increase on average.

Wendy Stephanson, deputy city treasurer for the city’s revenue department, blamed the low rates on federal public servant layoffs and a sluggish condo market.

Taxes will go up for properties that have been assessed at an increased value of more than the city average of 3.45 per cent. For those houses that sit below the average, taxes could go down. But that is independent of any budgetary tax increase decided by council, Stephanson said.

“Those figures will be available in April or May,” she said.

The wards that are likely to see a break for the assessment period, which is 2017 to 2020, are Somerset, which saw a change of minus 0.21 per cent, Gloucester-Southgate, with a change of only 0.65 per cent, and Gloucester South-Nepean which sits at a change of 2.93 per cent.

Stephanson said the factors that affect the assessed value are: • Location

• Lot dimensions • Living area • Age of property • Quality of construction Despite the relatively small change in the overall Ottawa property assessments, some area are red hot, according to Stephanson.

Kitchissippi's increase is 7.35 per cent, Rideau-Goulbourn is up by 5.34 per cent, followed by Stittsville, Kanata North and Kanata South, which will go up by 5.03, 4.16 and 5.02 per cent respectively. College Ward sits pretty close to the average, with an increase of 3.49 per cent.

Capital and River Ward could also see increases as the assessed residential properties went up by an average of 4.68 per cent for

Capital and 4.11 per cent for River Ward.

Stephanson said that a one per cent increase in assessed value doesn’t mean a corresponding one per cent increase in property taxes.

Of the 291,000 assessments that were mailed out on July 18, 15,000 will have increases of more than 13.45 per cent. Those ones will be sent tax impact letters and encouraged to check the reasons for the assessment.

“I would encourage anyone to go over the assessment,” Stephanson said.

For a house valued at $375,000 during the last assessment period that moved to a value of $425,000 (a 13.6 per cent jump) that would equal $197 more in taxes during the

first year, $193 in the following year, $190 in the third and $187 in the fourth.

That doesn’t take into account the council mandated 2.5 per cent increase.

Scott Templeton, the regional manager of municipal and stakeholder relations for MPAC, said that residents have 120 days or until Nov. 15 to file a request for reconsideration if they think their assessment is wrong.

He didn’t have Ottawa specific numbers, but said an average of three per cent of Ontario property owners file the requests and less than half of those are successful.

The mail outs on July 18 were only for residential properties. Assessments for farms will go out on Oct. 11 and everything else will be mailed out Oct. 18.

Riverkeeper swim grows in third year New races added to annual swim Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Organizers of the Riverkeeper 4K swim will expand the race in its third year, adding two new distances and pushing their fundraising goal to new heights.

The original interprovincial long distance races will have swimmers cross the Ottawa River on Aug. 6, starting at

Lac Deschênes Sailing Club, 10 Rangeview Ave., in Ottawa and finishing at Parc des Cèdres, near the Voyageurs pathway in Aylmer, four kilometres away.

The event will raise funds for Ottawa Riverkeeper through registration fees and by encouraging participants to raise pledges. Last year the race earned $7,000 for the water conservation group, and this year, organizers have raised that goal to $15,000, confident that the growth of the event will beget fundraising growth.Ottawa River-

keeper works to protect and promote the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries.

The non-profit organization puts funds raised through donations and events like the annual four-kilometre swim to work with regular monitoring of water quality, public outreach and education. But the open-water swim has the potential to do more for the Ottawa Riverkeeper and the Ottawa River than just raise funds, said Patrick Nadeau, the organization’s executive director. Heightened awareness of the river and its tributaries

can go a long way.

“The fundraising piece is one piece,” Nadeau said. “But it’s also about water quality and it’s about reminding people that we want a swimmable, drinkable and fishable river.

So for us, that awareness part of it is just as important if not more important than the fundraising.”

So, mindful of the exclusivity inherent in the longer swim, its organizers have added 750and 1,500-metre swims this year in order to cast a wider net and spread awareness of the event to more casual swim-

mers. Those shorter races will both start and finish at Parc des Cèdres, with the 1,500-metre swim starting at 8:20 a.m. and the 750-metre swim starting at 8:30 a.m.

Nadeau said the interprovincial aspect of the race – starting in one province and ending in another – is meant to remind residents on both sides of the river of their shared responsibility for the river and its health.

“Everybody needs to work together around this river,” he said. “And that’s why we’re really keen to keep this provincial crossing. Because for us that’s really a symbol of the work together that needs to happen to protect this river.”

Race director Tom Anzai has been involved with the event since its first edition in 2014, and said he has watched the event grow in a few short years. A new aspect of the race added in 2015, the team challenge, will return this year, inviting teams of swimmers to register together, raise funds together and swim together.

Nadeau said the team challenge, which focuses on overall team swimming and fundraising performance, has the added value of being an extra motivator for swimmers throughout the exhausting race.

“It’s just a fun way for people to get together and do the swim,” Nadeau said.

The four-kilometre swim will begin at 8 a.m., with a twohour cut-off time. Anyone still in the water at 10 a.m. will be picked up by the safety boats.

Organizers note on the event’s webpage that because the race route will take swimmers from the Ottawa side of the river to the Aylmer side, pitting them against the river’s current, the race will likely take swimmers several minutes longer than in previous years.

Family Support

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.

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 21, 2016 17

City hall will shed a dozen management positions in order to streamline processes within the city, a memo from city manager Steve Kanellakos says.

The memo was sent out on the evening of July 13, following a briefing to council on the new organizational structure.

As part of the briefing, council voted unanimously to axe the city’s two deputy city clerks and deputy city manager positions.

Susan Jones and John Moser were the acting deputy city managers, and will move to other positions.

A diagram showing the new organizational structure names Jones as the new general manager of the emergency and protective services department. John Moser is to stay on as an interim acting general manager of a consolidated planning, infrastructure and economic development department. The job of general manager for the department is listed as vacant.

The memo says the plan will cut “senior leader” positions to nine, down from 21.

The old system had five layers of management between managers of departments and the city manager.

Now there will be the city's manager's office, led by Steve Box, and the city clerk's and solicitor's office led

by Rick O'Connor. The new departments will report to them directly.

At the briefing, Kanellakos said one of changes will be to align departments that better reflect city priorities.

Things like the rail implementation office, the Stage 2 LRT project office, transportation planning and traffic services will be under the umbrella of transportation services.

Current OC Transpo general manager John Manconi will lead that department.

Kevin Wylie, who currently serves as general manager of public works, will now be head of a department that consolidates public works with environmental services.

The community and social services department remains untouched.

Janice Burrette will be the new head of that department.

The department of parks and recreation will also include cultural services under the leadership of Dan Chenier. The emergency and protective services branch, which will now include operations, will keep Anthony DiMonte as an acting general manager.

The corporate services department, which includes finance, fleet

services, information technology and the real estate, partnership and development office, will be led by Marian Simulik, the city’s treasurer.

A branch called the service, innovation and performance department will include corporate communications, human resources, corporate planning and business services and Service Ottawa. Donna Gray, who currently works in the transition office will be general manager.

Notably absent is Aaron Burry, the current GM of community social services and other department heads like Dixon Weir, who handled environment services.

At the briefing, Kanellakos said the alignment would save the city $2.7 million over the next two years.

The city will have to pay out $1.29 million in severance, Kanellakos said, which would come from reserves.

Further cost saving will be realized during the tabling of the next budget.

Kanellakos said he talked to 2,600 of the city’s 17,000-person workforce in the two months leading up to the unveiling of the plan.

Kanellakos said that this is just the first step and he will be working with the senior leadership team who will be responsible for the next step of the alignment.

“This includes a review of other levels of the organization to find opportunities to consolidate and streamline,” his memo to council reads.

Following the council briefing, Mayor Jim Watson said he support-

He said the city has needed a plan to deal with the silo mentality within different departments for some time.

“Often the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing,” Watson said. “It’s about changing the backroom operations of the organi-

zation.”

The changes won’t affect the service the public sees, Watson said.

“We were pretty clear in our direction to Kanellakos that we wanted to protect front line services like recycling, recreation, garbage collection and parks,” Watson said.

City staff to address questions on digital billboard review Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Planning committee chair Jan Harder said she wants to add some “common sense” to a very important file on July 12.

Following a briefing by staff on a review of the city’s policy on digital billboards, the committee had a list of questions they want answered before the item will be heard by full council on Aug. 21.

“I think there’s consensus around the table to get it right,” Harder said.

Among the changes will be reducing the size and height of signs in the downtown area. But in the rural area, digital billboards will be allowed – limited to commercial or industrial land uses.

As part of the review, staff consulted with

380 stakeholders and received 125 responses.

For the most part, Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury said he was in favour of the plan, but wanted to do something about the strobe light signs lining businesses on sections of Montreal Road.

“Some people say it’s like Las Vegas, I say it’s Los Cheapos,” he said, adding he didn’t want to see those stores get grandfathered as part of the review.

But the comment derailed the discussion, prompting some councillors to ask where it ends.

“Would this mean you could be in trouble for having a really bright bedroom window?”

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais asked.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli asked staff to consider exempting Christmas and other religious decoration from any rules that

would prohibit lighted window signs.

Some of the public delegations suggested Ottawa’s council may be a little cautious when it comes to sign technology.

department of Public Affairs Canada, said See PLAN, page 23

Plan to tighten up rules around signs meets roadblocks at planning Continued from page 21

he didn’t want to see the city create a bylaw that would require a variance at the very next meeting.

“People tend to fall into two camps,” Seaman said. “People really hate them (digital signs) and those who don’t care.”

Seaman said the city could learn from Vaughan, Ont. Harder said Ottawa is not as “bold” as

Vaughan.

“We’re not as bold as other cities, we tend to err on the side of caution,” Harder said.

At the end of the day, committee members wanted staff to come up with a set of rules that could be flexible for the needs of the specific communities.

The sign bylaw is tied to zoning, but doesn’t have anything to do with zoning compliance. The aim of the review is to standardize the approach towards signs and promote business.

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (EA) Kanata North Urban Expansion Area

The City of Ottawa has granted approval of the Community Design Plan (CDP) for the Kanata North Urban Expansion Area subject to conditions of the Planning Act and O. Reg. 543/06. The map illustrates the Kanata North CDP Study Area.

FILE

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury says he wants the sign bylaw review to address strobe lights in the windows of businesses on Montreal Road.

The City of Ottawa and the Project Team have planned to ensure infrastructure capacity is available for the proposed development in the expansion area. This process has been conducted in accordance with Section A.2.9 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to integrate approvals under the Environmental Assessment Act and the Planning Act. As such, approval of the Community Design Plan and associated OPA are supported by the following Master Plans which document the preferred municipal infrastructure projects: • Environmental Management Plan (EMP) • Master Servicing Study (MSS) • Transportation Master Plan (TMP) • Public Consultation Report

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on July 13, 2016 established its intention to designate the former Overbrook Public School, 149 King George Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The former Overbrook Public School, 149 King George Street, is a two-storey rectangular building clad in red brick and constructed in three phases in 1916, 1947 and 1955. The building is located on the corner of King George and Quill Streets in the Overbrook neighbourhood.

Heritage Value The former Overbrook Public School has design value as a simple example of the Collegiate Gothic style, popular for school construction across North America from 1900-1930. A late variation of the Gothic Revival style, the Collegiate Gothic style was inspired by the British universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Features of the building typical of the style include the use of red brick and limestone, symmetrical façades with evenly spaced windows and the decorative stone details. The building also has physical value because it was designed in anticipation of later additions; it was an asymmetric two room school, which remained until 1947, when a large L-shaped addition was built to accommodate the first children of the baby boom.

Overbrook Public School has historic value for its association with the development of public schools in former Gloucester Township in the early 20th century. Constructed beginning in 1916, Overbrook Public School is one of the earliest remaining buildings in Overbrook. The building has associative value as an example of the work of two Ottawa architectural firms. Millson and Burgess, responsible for the design of the original building in 1916, was a prolific architectural firm in Ottawa in the early 20th century, designing a variety of buildings including churches, libraries and private residences in Ottawa and the surrounding area. Architect Walter Sylvester designed the 1947 addition to the building. Sylvester was a long time Overbrook resident and trained under celebrated Ottawa architect W.E. Noffke in the early 20th century. In the 1940s, Sylvester designed additions to several schools in former Gloucester Township.

Prominently located on a corner, Overbrook Public School has contextual value as a local landmark which has served as a community hub and serves as a reminder of the community’s early development.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Electric vehicle charging network ready next March Staff

Ontario is building electric vehicle charging stations at over 250 locations across the province to help reduce greenhouse gas pollution and fight climate change.

The province is working with 24 public- and privatesector partners to create an unprecedented network of public charging electric vehicle stations in cities, along highways, at workplaces and at various public places

across Ontario. The entire network will be in service by March 31, 2017.

The province’s $20-million investment under Ontario’s Green Investment Fund will expand charging infrastructure across the province and will help address “range anxiety,” a common concern of consumers regarding the distance electric vehicles can travel compared to traditional vehicles. Building a more robust network of public chargers across On-

tario allows electric vehicle owners to plan longer trips knowing that charging stations are as readily available as gas stations. With the new network of stations, electric vehicle drivers will be able to travel confidently from Windsor to Ottawa or from Toronto to North Bay and within and around major urban centres.

An interactive map of the EVCO network of stations is located at www.mto.gov. on.ca.

Pedestrian bridge renamed to honour Max Keeping Karen

McCrimmon

Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

At a special ceremony before the Champions baseball game on July 16, the Coventry pedestrian and cycling bridge over Highway 417 was renamed to honour community leader Max Keeping.

And the significance of the renaming couldn’t mean more for members of Keeping’s family.

“I knew that they were wanting to name a street after him for some time. To name this bridge was something all that more special,” said Keeping’s son Josh Frye.

Keeping was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003; he died in October 2015. He raised more than $100 million for organizations, including CHEO, Roger’s House, the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, Operation Come Home and the Cancer Foundation.

With CHEO on one side of the bridge – albeit distant – and the Champions stadium on the other, it connects two of Keeping’s great loves.

“Max was a bridge builder, he brought people together and he was an individual who raised tens of millions of dollars for local charities,” Mayor Jim Watson said of Keeping.

“He loved CHEO, which is on the other side of the highway, he loved baseball and that bridge brings those two great institutions together.”

The bridge connects the Overbrook community, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park, the Via Rail station and the future Tremblay Station of the O-Train Confederation Line.

“That will be one of the most used bridges when the LRT is completed,” Watson said.

Signs will be installed at the entrances of the bridge, as well as on the highway, so drivers will know the significance as well.

A commemorative plaque, as well as what the bridge signs will look like, were unveiled just prior to Frye throwing the first pitch to begin the team’s game against the Rockland Boulders.

“We wanted to have it not just at an event at the side of the bridge, we wanted to have it during a baseball game so that more people can celebrate Max’s life,” Watson said.

The significance was not lost on Frye.

“Of course it means a lot,

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Remembering the Victims in Nice, France I was heartbroken to learn of the attack on innocent men, women and children during a national celebration in Nice, France.

Politicians, representatives from the Champions and CHEO, and members of Max Keeping’s family unveil a commemorative plaque remembering community leader Max Keeping before the start of the Champions baseball game on July 16. The Coventry pedestrian and cycling bridge over Highway 417 was renamed the Max Keeping Bridge to honour his community work. but it’s that much more special because I remember my dad and I coming and watching the Ottawa Lynx and all I wanted to do was eat hotdogs and throw baseball pitches,” he said with a smile.

Frye said his dad would have

been the first to decline the honour of having something in the city named after him.

“But he’d be very humbled and honoured,” he said.

“He was very private when it came to talking about his family in public, but for his family to

get this opportunity in the spotlight would probably make him laugh a little more and smile a little wider – that his legacy is being carried on through us.”

Cuts for Kids I had the absolute pleasure of attending an amazing event at the Morrison Gardens Community House. Cuts For Kids is a non-profit foundation that provides haircuts for financially disadvantaged and homeless youth. The event was filled with organized games, a BBQ, and free haircuts for the children. I was truly inspired by the work of the organizers, and of course the hairdressers that volunteered their time and talent. Thank you so much to the foundation for the amazing job that you all do for our Ottawa community!

Army Celebrations This past week I was honoured to attend two celebrations for the Canadian Army. First, I attended the retirement ceremony for Lieutenant-Colonel Frances Chilton-MacKay, a living legend in the Canadian Armed Forces music scene, and the first female Director of Music for the Governor General’s Foot Guards. Second, I was delighted to represent both the Minister of Veterans Affairs and the Minister of National Defence at the Change of Command Parade as Lt.-Gen. Paul Wynnyk assumed command of the Canadian Army on Thursday from Lt.-Gen. Marquis Hainse at a ceremony on Parliament Hill. We have so much to be proud of in the Canadian Army and it will continue to play such a critical role for our Nation, and our contribution to NATO. CENGN Summer Jobs I had previously announced that the Federal Government has provided funding for 290 summer jobs (totaling $698,943) in Kanata-Carleton. I was pleased to visit Canada’s Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks (CENGN). This year the not-for-profit organization received over $19,000 as part of the Summer Jobs Program. Every year CENGN brings in approximately 40 of Canada’s most tech-savvy student interns in the fields of project management, marketing and engineering in the Digital ICT network space.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who helped to make my 10th Annual Kanata North Community Picnic another success yesterday.

Without the help of our volunteers, the picnic would not be able to take place; I appreciate each one of you!

CYCLING SAFETY AND EDUCATION - My Transportation Action Committee Kanata North (TACK) is in the process of planning a bike rodeo – “Peddle Play” – to be held in September. A bike rodeo is a fun event for all ages, young and old, where you can practice and develop skills to become a better cyclist. Learn about bike etiquette, handling skills, rules and regulations, simple bike repairs, helmet and bike checks, and more. To get involved, contact my office. In addition to TACK’s Peddle Play event, the City’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department’s Cycling Education Team, in partnership with Safer Roads Ottawa, is offering free bike training to local communities.

If you are interested in organizing an event in your community or would like more information, email cycling@ottawa.ca. The Cycling Education Team also provides private courses for groups and individuals.

ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT – CITY OF OTTAWA - Council has approved the deletion of 3 City positions to improve operations. I had recommended the deletion of the Deputy City Manager positions and also supported the removal of the Deputy Clerk positions as these held up approvals and created silos instead of solutions across departments.

Council also received a streamlined organizational chart that reduced the number of managers and distributed responsibilities to them. Over the summer each manager is to review their responsibilities and make any final revisions. My only concern with the changes is uncertainty about how Economic Development and IT will be managed. I’ll be meeting with the City Manager to ensure that these services are strengthened so that the push to make Ottawa a Smart City continues and support for our High Tech businesses, which are crucial to Ottawa’s future, are supported.

ART AND GAMES IN THE PARK – Free park programming has already started in Kanata North this summer. Join in on the fun at the following locations: Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata, beside splash pad area on Tuesday’s until August 30th from 10:45 am - 12 pm. Kanata Leisure Centre, patio/picnic area on Thursday’s until August 25th from 10:30 – 11:30 am and at the Beaverbrook Outdoor Pool in the green space behind the facility, on Thursday’s until August 25th from 12 – 1 pm. Activities include arts and crafts, theme days and splash pad water adventures.

THE PLAN FOR CANADA’S CAPITAL – This is your chance to comment on the draft plan for Canada’s Capital 2017-2067; this is the signature planning framework that will shape the vision for the nation’s capital until Canada’s bicentennial in 2067. In December 2015, the NCC launched an online public consultation to identify 17 major milestone projects that will transform the Capital over the next 50 years.

From the consultation, they heard that the people of Ottawa cherish its waterways and natural spaces, as well as its national symbols and museums. To provide your feedback visit www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca.

Family wins precedent-setting case against public school board Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

When Winston Karam got on the witness stand, his voice was finally heard.

“It was my first time in a courthouse, so I was nervous,” he said of the 2014 experience.

“I was very nervous since I’m not the best with speaking my mind and words, it was hard to talk about what happened.”

Winston told the judge in small claims court about the bullying he endured at Broad-

view Public School during the 2011-12 academic year.

He told the judge of being stolen from, shoved around, being put in a chokehold, being called the N-word, A-hole, alongside other insults.

“I still said what I could – my truth, my story. It was a huge weight off my chest.”

It led to a precedent-setting case, filed against the public school board. After the initial small claims decision, an appeal and a retrial back in small claims court, a judge found the board was negligent and

breached the duty of care owed to a student. The judgement came down on May 24 of this year.

Winston and his mother, Vania, were seeking costs for home schooling, self-defence classes and counselling.

The bullying came to a head in April 2012. After being pinched on the back of the neck, Winston suffered an anxiety attack. The school did not call an ambulance.

“I had kept a lot inside and it got too much for me,” Winston said of that day.

Winston had previously sought help from the principal on five or six occasions, and vice-principal and guidance counsellor two or three times to respond to the bullying.

“The school had plenty of policies on how to respond to bullying and Winston reached out for help after almost every incident, but they looked the other way and did absolutely nothing to help him,” Vania said.

According to court documents, the principal told Vania it was just roughhousing.

“It had been escalating and escalating,” Vania said. “He literally couldn’t take it anymore.”

After the panic attack, which was described as seizure like, they sought help from the school board.

When the bullying didn’t stop, Vania had her son home schooled.

Then when she picked up Winston’s report card at the end of the year, a comment caught her eye.

“The rules guiding peer

relationships are inappropriate and need to be monitored and corrected. More positive dialogue and interaction between adults and Winston is needed.”

Winston was also placed into a class with one of the bullies on the next year’s class list.

“I really felt like these people have no care at all for this.

It was the final straw; I felt like I was pushed a bit into this lawsuit,” Vania said of the series of events.

The first trial took two days and 11 witnesses were called, including teachers, administrators, one of the bullies, Winston and Vania. They won, but the board appealed the decision. At the appeal, the judge ordered a retrial to determine the board’s duty of care and when it is breached.

The judge at the retrial, Honourable Rohan Bansie, accepted that Winston was bullied at the hands of two students and the board was liable for the inaction of school staff.

Vania spent about $51,000 throughout the three proceedings and in the end was awarded about $3,000.

“I didn’t do this for the money, I did this because it was too awful not to do something about,” Vania said of the entire process.

“My hope is that looking back in time, Winston can say in life sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and stand up for what’s right and my mom did that for me and … I came out of this stronger and better for it.”

Vania said Ottawa’s police department has requested a copy of the judgment because of its implication for school resource officers.

Court sides with bullying victim Continued from page 26

“Going forward schools will have to pay attention because there will be financial ramifications,” Vania said, adding she and her son have gone through a lot since 2012, but are better for it.

“Winston’s case is not the only one. This is happening in every school, every classroom and hopefully it opens a dialogue and incites schools to do more and protect the victim.”

Vania and Winston are both still hoping for a written apology from the school board about its role in what happened.

Winston is now about two years away from going to university or college and for now, he’s considering the fire safety engineering program at Carleton University.

Though he didn’t have much success being heard within his school, the advice

he gives others who are bullied is to be persistent.

“Try to make an effort to tell others, try to get it to stop,” he said.

“There are people who will listen to you, find those people. Get it off your chest and it gets a lot better.”

When contacted for comment, the school board responded via email, “It is not the district’s policy to discuss individual cases with the media. We take student safety very seriously and we make every attempt to work with students, families and the greater community to encourage respectful learning and working environments.”

The board also provided a list of programs offered, including a bullying prevention program called Roots of Empathy, WITS, a literacy based program and The Fourth R, focusing on healthy relationships and reducing violence and risky behaviours.

Vania Karam and Winston Karam recently won a precedent-setting case against the public school board, after a judge found the board was negligent and breached the duty of care owed to a student when Winston was bullied at Broadview Public School.

New addition to church pew was very entertaining

O

ur family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me.

Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes peeled straight ahead.

I thought the church service long and boring.

The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about.

And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the back to the other end of our pew. Mother said she had lost a lot of her hearing, and through necessity had to

MARY COOK Memories move closer to the minister.

My brother Emerson said she didn’t know how lucky she was, whatever that meant. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind.

That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her. The seats curved, so I had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She was like a little bird: a wren, or maybe a robin. She sat

with her hands folded in her lap on top of her opened Bible.

Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight as well.

It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat. In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in.

Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed

away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth and let out a loud gagging cough. He wasn’t too fond of perfume. But at least it proved the old lady was still alive.

Her skin looked like it had been drawn tightly across her face, and there was no doubt about it, she was going to give me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was secretly delighted, I confess, that she had lost her hearing and had to move up to the front of the church.

I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas.

I had no idea what the minister was talking about

that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew.

But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good.

Her eyes looked exactly like a chicken’s who had fallen asleep in the hot sun.

Almost transparent, with no eyelashes, and white as the driven snow.

She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand.

Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us. She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for

being so good in church.

I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing.

And then Mother, to my horror, beamed at me after I said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church. I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel!

With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession!

CHEO's mental health experts to connect with rural areas Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Mental health workers at CHEO will participate in a new program that will link them via video conference to rural doctors and nurses.

The new ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) youth mental health program was announced at CHEO on July 12.

Through the program, rural doctors and health care workers can participate in a 20 to 24 week course about youth mental health. After that, they will be part of the ECHO network that allows them to participate in sessions with the CHEO team and other participants across Ontario.

In the weekly video conference sessions, mental health specialists, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and substance use specialists, from CHEO will be able to give advice on specific cases, and the other members can chime in with their own advice. It allows health workers, such as rural family doctors, to bring up cases they’re dealing with and need more specialized advice about.

Dr. Kathleen Pajer, CHEO chief of psychiatry, said the goal is to have 100 to 150 participants in the first year of the program.

Pajer said in a process that involved 800 interviews to determine what the mental health programs at CHEO could be doing better, two things came up multiple times: patients wanted doctors to stop assessing and start treating, and they wanted treatment to come to where they are located.

It’s important to consider cultural factors

when treating mental illness, which is part of the reason treatment from health care professionals in the patient’s own community is essential, Pajer said.

Most of the mental health expertise in the province is clustered in Toronto and Ottawa, said Dr. William Gardner, director of the Pediatric Centre for Mental Health Services.

“I don’t think we’re going to get a lot of psychiatrists living on the shore of Hudson’s Bay,” Gardner said.

“What ECHO teaches is different

Witnesses wanted for fatal Montreal Rd. crash Staff

Police are seeking witnesses who may have seen something before or after a fatal collision on Montreal Road.

At 4:35 p.m. on July 17 paramedics, police and firefighters responded to a collision between a motorcycle and car on Montreal Road near Highway 174.

Four vehicles were involved in the crash — three cars and one motorcycle.

A 49 year-old male and 34 yearold female were pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene of the accident.

The crash closed both Montreal Road east and west at highway 174 and the highway off-ramp to Montreal Road.

Investigators are looking for witnesses to contact Ottawa Police’s Collision Investigation Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 2481.

Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.

people have critical skills in care that need to be put together.”

Using technology that allows medical professionals to video conference, Pembroke physician Dr. Todd Gauthier called in to the press conference. He said the support “answers a bit of a rural prayer for us.”

Pembroke, 150 kilometres away from CHEO, has no pediatric psychologist and the adult psychologist is about to go on a year leave, so the support for mental health issues with their patients is welcome, Dr. Gauthier said.

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced the province would fund $550,000 annually for the ECHO program for youth mental health training.

Demand has grown in the past few years for children and youth seeking mental health support. CHEO president Alex Munter said the hospital has seen a 75 per cent increase in emergency department crisis visits due to mental health in recent years.

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

I am purchasing a new home. I heard from my real estate agent that I would have to get title insurance. Is this necessary?

Title insurance has been around for the last 15 years and is used in almost all residential real estate purchases, especially those involving mortgages.

What is title insurance and how much does it cost?

Title insurance is an insurance policy covering a variety of risk involving the purchase and ownership of real estate.

The policy coverage lasts for the entire period of ownership and is, in general, a cheaper option than having a real estate lawyer perform full title and off-title searches so as to provide a legal opinion on title. Mortgage providers insist on either a lawyer providing them with an opinion on title (and all the performance of searches that go with it) or to have the transaction title insured. An average one-time premium for title insurance ranges from $300 to $400 for a policy insuring a new owner and the mortgage provider.

What does it cover?

Title insurance covers a variety of issues associated with purchasing a home, such as conflicting ownership claims, spousal claims, title defects, encroachments and

subsequent removal of structures, unpaid property taxes and utilities, by-law infringements, such as renovations without a building permit, and many other issues. Some title insurance companies also cover errors made by a real estate lawyer representing a purchaser.

Common Exclusions The most common exclusions (i.e. not covered) by title insurance are environmental issues and soil contamination, title issues known to the purchaser or their lawyer prior to closing and aboriginal claims. Title insurance only covers issues that crystallized prior to closing but were discovered following the closing. For example, renovations made to your home without a work permit after you have moved in would be excluded.

Home buyers in Ontario purchase their new homes without any obligation on the seller to disclose issues with the property. Title insurance is a very efficient way to protect your investment and deal with any surprises that may come up after your purchase.

Refugee families connect at meet and greet breakfast Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

When asked what she likes about Canada, Sofia Al Dakhil, 14, could only think of one thing – peace.

Despite getting ready for high school and being involved in soccer and air cadets, her safety is what she appreciates most, she said.

Sofia and her parents Khloud and Shadi, along with two other siblings, came to Canada 15 months ago. The family lived in Lebanon for two years and before that in Syria. They are now a family of six, after Stephane was born in Canada, making him the first of the family to be a Canadian citizen.

Holy Redeemer Parish in Kanata sponsored the refugee family; they arrived in March 2015.

“At the beginning it was the language,” Shadi said of what’s been the hardest adjustment to the country.

‘In Canada there’s good opportunities for our children.’

REFUGEE KHLOUD AL DAKHIL

“That makes many things difficult.”

Khloud agreed.

“You can’t find a job, or interact with the community,” she said.

After making good progress on their English, their kids have finished school for the summer and they are settling in well, they said.

“In Canada there’s good opportunities for our children,” Khloud said.

“There are chances here for learning, for playing, for their happiness. It’s safe here.”

Khloud has even been awarded a scholarship to attend Algonquin College to study developmental social work.

She was one of eight refugees to get a scholarship and she hopes to work with children with special needs. In Syria she worked in a daycare.

The Al Dakhil family are just six of almost 150 people who attended a meet and greet breakfast with refugees, sponsors and volunteers, organized

by Rouba Alfattal, founder and senior consultant with Impact Policy, on the morning of July 16 at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

The breakfast provided the opportunity to thank sponsors, school boards and agencies and connect refugee families in Kanata.

Refugees welcomed and sponsors thanked at Kanata breakfast Continued from page 33

“You can see the love in the room,” Alfattal said following the breakfast. “People came this morning to be a part of something great and it was due time we thank those involved in bringing refugees to our community.”

‘Welcome to Canada, your presence here enriches us as a nation. I know what you’re going to contribute is going to be wonderful.’

KANATA NORTH COUN. MARIANNE WILKINSON

Alfattal’s church, Christ Church Cathedral, and the local Rotary Club worked to sponsor one refugee family, with children aged three, five, seven and eight.

“When they arrived it was the first time they had ever been to school,” Alfattal said.

“They just love it. It gives them purpose a reason to get up in the morning.”

She said it’s also been wonderful to see how quickly the children are absorbing a new language and recalled that after three months, some of them struggled to remember Arabic.

In her remarks to the agencies and groups represented, Alfattal thanked everyone for working together.

“It really does take a village,” she said, recalling that’s exactly what the word Kanata means.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who worked with St. John’s Anglican Church to sponsor a refugee family that arrived on New Year’s Day, said the community has rallied and pulled together to help out newcomers and she offered welcome to those in the crowd.

“Welcome to Canada, your presence here enriches us as a nation. I know what you’re going to contribute is going to be wonderful.”

Canadian soldiers getting a bionic boost Spring technology brace trials start in Ottawa Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

What does it mean to be able to carry more? Or jump with ease? Or make your body capable of things you never thought possible?

For the army, it means a lot.

The Department of National Defence has invested $1 million on new technology that will help ground soldiers do just that.

On July 12, Canada's military received 30 pairs of UpShot bionic knee braces from the Halifax, Nova Scotia, based company Spring Loaded Technology.

Canadian soldiers will test them out to see if the bionic braces can help reduce the impact on their knees and enhance the knee's capability in the field.

The brace is not the type you can find at the local pharmacy. At $10,000 a pair, these braces give soldiers a bionic knee, which

ultimately means what once was a heavy pack, or a hard jump, is now aided with a spring-loaded brace that absorbs the force, leaving the knee — one of the human body’s hardest workers — at ease.

It works by using liquid spring technology — which means the spring in the brace absorbs the shock and reduces the impact on a soldier's knees. Maj. Edward Jun from the Directorate of Land Requirement will be supervising the testing.

“I’ve spent 16 years in the infantry and my knees are bad,” Jun said.

The 34-year-old likened his knees to that of a 60 year-old. When he put the brace on for the first time, he said he immediately felt better.

“It felt good. It’s exactly what we were looking for,” he said.

The plan is for a small groups of soldiers, both

administration and combat, to test the braces for two weeks and see how they fare. The goal is to push the braces to their limits so the company can get feedback on what works and what needs to be fixed or tweaked.

In total, 190 knee braces will be provided to the military and used, Jun said, predominantly by infantry and artillery units.

“We're always being asked to carry more weight, much more than our grandfathers did in World War Two, there are more weapons, batteries, water,” Jun said. “There are two ways we could tackle it – reduce the weight, but that would be minimal at best – so okay, we can’t reduce the weight so we need to look if there is another way.”

Backpacks vary in weight, but can be up to 100 pounds. Jun said that with the aid of this brace, soldiers will be able to march longer and lift more. He added he liked that the style

Maj. Edward Jun tests out an UpShot bionic knee brace on July 12 by doing multiple squats with son Danny. The brace is one of 30 pairs the Canadian Armed Forces will test this month. With liquid spring technology, the brace absorbs shock and reduces the impact on a soldiers’ knees.

Cowper-Smith said the braces geared towards the consumer market would not replace the need for some individuals to have knee surgery, but would allow people with knee issues to increase strength and decrease pain.

Jun can't say at this point what sort of cost-benefit these braces may have on

the number soldiers who eventually have to access the health care system because of knee-related injuries, but did say any costsaving benefits would be considered during the trial.

“Anything we can do to reduce the strain on soldiers, or prevent (injuries) benefits the future,” Jun said.

allows for the brace to either fit on the naked leg, or over their combats uniform.

“It will save time, but still be effective,” Jun said.

The first knee brace of its kind, Spring Loaded Technology's Chris CowperSmith likened the brace’s power output to that of a $100,000 powered exoskeleton – a suit similar to that worn by comics character Iron Man. According to the United States' military, a Tactical Assault Light Operators Suit will soon be a possibility – as early as 2018.

Cowper-Smith said that for his company, while an entire suit is cool, it intends to focus on knee braces for the near future.

“Our mission is to explore the way we move,” he said. “We will explore the knee and go from there.”

The $1 million contract was awarded to the company through the Build in Canada Innovation Program.

Aside from the costly military-grade braces, consumers will be able to purchase a bionic knee for themselves starting in September, for the lower cost of $2,300.

“The military braces are more rugged, made to withstand harsher conditions, so they cost a little more,” Cowper-Smith said. “Our mission is to change the way everyone moves.”

Tourtiere meatballs with glaze a great appetizer Tourtiere, a savoury Quebecois meat pie, has become a dinner must-have for many across Canada. Here we’ve incorporated the flavours into easy-to-make meatballs and added a cranberry glaze for festive noshing.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 20 minutes Makes about 42 meatballs MEATBALLS

8 oz (250 g) mushrooms 1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped onion 1-1/2 lb (750 g) lean ground beef 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) each dried sage leaves, thyme leaves and celery salt 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg 3/4 cup (175 mL) packed mashed potato (1 potato)

GLAZE

1 cup (250 mL) smooth jellied cranberry sauce 1/4 cup (50 mL) each barbecue sauce and water 2 tbsp (25 mL) maple syrup In food processor, pulse mushrooms and onion until evenly ground, stopping often to scrape down side. Place in large bowl; add beef, sage, thyme, celery salt, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add potato; mix well with your hands. Shape into approximately 42 meatballs 1-1/2 inches (2.5 cm).

Arrange racks in top and bottom third of oven. Spray or oil two large rimmed baking sheets. Place meatballs on baking sheet. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven, switching racks half way through, until meatballs are brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.

Let stand on baking sheets for three minutes. Remove to large serving bowl.

Meanwhile, in medium

skillet, over medium-low heat, combine cranberry, barbecue sauce, water and maple syrup, stirring often, until melted and fairly smooth. If desired, stir in more water, a tablespoon (15 mL) at a time.

Midwives to mentor in African nations, slash death rates Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Canada will export its midwifery expertise to four African nations struggling to reduce the death rates of women and their newborns as part of a new four-year project called Midwives Save Lives.

The initiative, which rolls out this year and will continue until 2020, will see Canadian midwives and other experts travel to the Bénin, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Tanzania where they will deliver equipment and mentor and train midwifery instructors to boost midwife numbers and improve access to healthcare for pregnant teens and women, as well as new mothers and their newborns.

“Skilled midwifery is so important because most mothers and babies, they are dying through childbirth,” Sebalda Leshabari, a midwife and director-general of the Tanzanian Association of Registered Midwives, said during a panel talk involving representatives from all four nations during the Midwives Save Lives program launch on July 14 at the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre at 2260 Walkley Rd. In 2015, an estimated 8,000 women died during childbirth in Tanzania alone.

“The midwives are in a critical and unique opportunity to save the lives of these mothers because these deaths are preventable,” Leshabari said, by providing quality care during pregnancy and even as the child grows up.

“So midwives are giving broad and continuing care for the mothers and babies who make up the families of Tanzania,” she said.

For that reason, more midwives are needed.

Thirteen registered midwives will stay in Africa for one to three months, while about 40 professionals working in communications, public health, organizational development and gender and health-equity fields, will stay up to a year to help strengthen the midwifery associations in those countries.

Their work will also focus on the midwife regulatory and licensing process.

“We hope to have our volunteers in place in September or October,” said Aynsley Morris, director of marketing and communications at Cuso International’s Ottawa office in Chinatown.

There will be no shortage of work when they get there.

Last year, 303,000 women around the world died from pregnancy and childbirth complications.

Four countries account for 50 per cent of those deaths, and the Congo is one of those, said Morris, who is also in charge of recruiting the project volunteers.

Last year, the number of related deaths in the Congo topped out at a staggering 22,000, and in Ethiopia that number reached 13,000. Bénin, a small country on the

Gulf of Guinea sandwiched between Nigeria and Togo, experienced 1,300.

“It’s still an issue,” Morris said of maternal and newborn mortality rates. “And we don’t have that in Canada where you don’t learn that your best friend has died in childbirth.

That’s rare here, but that can happen in so many of these countries.”

Globally, 16 million girls between the ages of 16 and 19 give birth each year. Another million are under age 15.

“Adolescent girls who live in fragile or conflict-affected states are subject to violence at the hands of others, often leaving them pregnant before they are fully grown themselves,” Ottawa West-Nepean MP Anita Vandenbeld said.

“Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second leading cause of death for girls that age,” she said, adding that even girls and their newborns who survive are at risk of suffering serious complications.

Healthy and empowered teens will be the key “to pulling millions out of poverty” and helping ensure sustainable development goals are reached, said Vandenbeld, who at one time worked with women’s groups in the Congo and Ethiopia.

The African nations taking part were chosen for the solid base of midwives they already have, as well as a readiness to participate in the new initiative.

“They also have quite a big burden as well,” Morris said. “Maternal and newborn mortality rates are quite high, particularly in the DRC (the Congo) and Ethiopia.”

The hope is that the volunteers will come from across Canada, including Ottawa.

The midwives will go overseas for shorter durations, so as not to take them away from their work in Canada too long.

There is a need for more midwives in Canada as well, said Morris, which is the reason their volunteer time in Africa will be short term.

However, the benefits of sharing their skills there will produce significant returns.

“By having those skills that they learn in the countries, they bring those skills back to share with their colleagues here,” Morris said.

“So it’s an opportunity to cross-share.”

The experience will give them a better understanding and appreciation of different cultures, which will prove beneficial since Canada is such a multicultural society, she said.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week you will get a strong sense of what you have to do to solidify a relationship. Build off of what you and your significant other have in common.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Employ flattery more in your daily conversations, Taurus. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar, so begin with a compliment before providing constructive criticism.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others may value your advice even if they do not ultimately take it to heart. Do not let this get in the way of offering guidance to others down the road.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give more thought to responsibilities that might be weighing you down. It might be time to lighten your load a little bit. Find someone to help you out.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, get to the heart of the problem so you can find a solution as quickly as possible. Take ownership of your leadership role in a situation and direct others with confidence.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, take a calm approach to an unexpected situation this week. Looking at things coolly and calmly will help you rectify the situation in a way that benefits all involved.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may have bitten off a little more than you can chew, as you didn’t realize just how much energy was required to complete a task.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, although you have many admirers this week, there’s only one person whose opinion matters to you. Strengthen that relationship as much as you can.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you’re usually helping other people out, but this time others are lending you a helping hand. Accept any help you receive with humility.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be in the mood for entertaining of late, so open your home to friends and family. Enjoy the festive scene, which is right in your wheelhouse.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Experiment with a new hobby or a crafty idea, Aquarius. This newfound passion may fill those hours when you find your mind straying toward boredom.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Don’t put off rest this week, Pisces. You need to catch up on some R&R, which has been in short supply lately.
