www.facebook.com/ottawacommunitynews With summer holidays in full swing, donations to the Kanata Food @OTcommunitynews Cupboard have dropped considerably.

Only two of 10 large donation bins LOOK INSIDE had items to be sorted on July 12.

The average is four full bins, which FOR YOUR CANADIAN TIRE FLYER are sorted every week, and during the holiday season all 10 bins are normally filled to capacity, said Patricia Elkins, manager of operations and SAVE volunteer co-ordination. $ “We really see a significant decrease in the amount of food that we receive Sale 319.99 26.67/month so the Kanata Food Cupboard then Reg 459.99 Summit 10 0 Sit-In 10´ Kayak. has to purchase food.

Food cupboard supports 225 families a month Continued from page 1

On average, the food cupboard supports 225 families a month, which equates to more than 800 adults and children who are receiving assistance, said Elkins.

“The need does not decrease whether it’s December or July. People still need to eat,” she said.

High-priority non-perishables the food cupboard is frequently short on include: • Canned flaked turkey, chicken and salmon; • Baby food in glass jars; • Baking supplies; • Rice; • Canned fruit and vegetables; • Jam; • Soda crackers; • Canned pasta; • Packages of casseroles and side dishes; • Toiletries; • Fruit cups; • Juice boxes. “(Children) are still going to camp, they still have lunch needs,” said Elkins.

“My hope is to see a sustained donation throughout the year.”

The food cupboard establishes a budget to purchase fresh and non-perishable food items throughout the year. The 2017 budget shows $50,000 each for fresh food and groceries.

“We have certain items that the board has approved that we will buy no matter if they’re donated or not,” said Elkins. “As we come into July and August we are buying those items that we are always chronically low on.”

At the nonprofit's annual general meeting in April, chair of the board Jenna Sudds said the food cupboard is expecting a budgeted net loss of $51,850 for this year.

“This is accounted for in food purchases,” said Sudds,

adding one-time salary expenses also contributed. “We have increased our budget of non-perishable goods as well as perishable food items, including feminine hygiene products, large size diapers and baby food.”

Elkins said she’s looking at ideas for possible fundraising initiatives throughout the summer months to help bolster the items available.

In the meantime, people can drop off foodstuffs at the food cupboard’s warehouse location at 340 Legget Dr., Door 46, from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday. Most major grocery stores in Kanata also have bins where people can donate items.

To see a full list of needed

items or for more information, visit kanatafoodcup board.ca, email info@kanata foodcupboard.ca or call 613355-9834.

Only two of the 10 donation bins at the Kanata Food Cupboard had items to be sorted on July 12. The monthly average is four bins, says Patricia Elkins, operations manager.

Mayor’s Report

PLACING THE FINAL PIECE ON STAGE 2 LRT By: Mayor Jim Watson Last month, I had the privilege of welcoming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility, where our Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and O-trains are currently being built and assembled.

Prime Minister Trudeau announced that the Federal Government would finance the final tier of our Stage 2 LRT project, the single largest infrastructure project in the City’s history. The Federal Government has pledged to contribute $1.09 billion, in addition to over $67 million committed to Stage 2 through the first phase of the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund last year.

This funding announcement comes a year after the Province of Ontario committed to fund its third of our LRT project by investing $1 billion towards Stage 2 LRT, plus 50 per cent of the cost associated with extending the O-Train system to the Ottawa airport and from Place d’Orléans to Trim.

The City of Ottawa will cover the remainder of the LRT costs, approximately $1 billion. Now that the final funding piece of the Stage 2 LRT project has been put in place, we can plan to put shovels in the ground in 2019 and continue expanding our world-class LRT system.

Stage 2 LRT will connect our residential areas to our largest employment areas, major retail outlets, and cultural and recreational destinations. By 2021, the Trillium Line will be expanded South to reach Earl Armstrong/ Bowesville Station, with a link to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Airport.

In the East, the Confederation Line will extend to Place d’Orléans and Trim Road by 2022. And in the West, it will reach Algonquin College and Moodie Drive by 2023.

Stage 2 LRT will transform the way we travel in our City. Once completed, 70% of Ottawa residents will live within five kilometers of efficient, clean, accessible, comfortable and reliable rail service. Our new O-Train system will span over 60 kilometers, take 14, 000 vehicles off the road during rush hour and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The O-Train will also save residents money with reduced car costs, including fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear and even accident avoidance.

The confirmed Federal and Provincial support and funding for Stage 2 LRT demonstrates a historic vote of confidence in future of the City of Ottawa.

After police Chief Charles Bordeleau finished his verbal report at the July 24 meeting, Durrell said he had to discuss the Canada Day festivities.

“It’s been on my mind for 23 days,” he said.

While Durrell said he didn’t blame the RCMP or Ottawa police, he said ‘It’s been on my mind for people waiting in lines for hours with- 23 days’ out access to bathrooms was a win for terrorists and a loss for rank-and-file JIM DURRELL Canadians.

“Would you come back?” he asked the chief, adding if the trend continues, there won’t be anyone on the Hill to provide security for during Canada Day celebrations in the future.

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

El-Chantiry also invited Durrell to write to the federal minister in charge about his concerns.

Bordeleau said he would convey the message, but that the handling of security on Parliament Hill itself was under the jurisdiction of the RCMP. Bordeleau said there are many events still ongoing — like La Machine taking place this weekend — and police and event organizers should try to apply some of the lessons learned from Canada Day. Board member Sandy Smallwood said since Ottawa “wears it” when a big event in the capital is a flop, the city should have some input into the handling of events.

Durrell said he didn’t think the way people were led onto the Hill through “cattle lines” helped with security.

Bordeleau defended the protocol though, saying given the global climate, it was important for there to be a “visible and layered” defence.

Bordeleau said security wasn’t the problem.

He said the failure is from an event management perspective and event organizers didn’t process people as quickly as they could have.

OPINION

Connected to your community

3 cheers for likable athletes

T

his year’s U.S. Open, arguably the most desired title in golf, was won by Brooks Koepka, a first-time major tournament winner. The tournament was played on a first-time site, the Erin Hills Golf Course in Wisconsin, that was a bleak, treeless, non-traditional layout.

But the Koepka win was not the most significant story coming out of that U.S. Open. That has to go to Phil Mickelson, a golfer who wants to win the U.S. Open more than any other tournament after six second-place finishes and the window closing on his competitive golfing years.

Phil withdrew from this year’s U.S. Open because his daughter Amanda, as president of her high school class, was to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. It was impossible for Phil to be in two places at one time, and so he opted to withdraw from the U.S. Open and to be at home to hear his daughter speak.

It was a similarly heartwarming situation when Smiths Falls golfer Brooke Henderson won the LPGA tournament at the same time as the U.S. Open was being held. To see her

jumping for joy and hugging with her sister and her father after winning that tournament made your heart explode with pride. Here was a still19-year-old golfer who not only is exceptionally talented but who also obviously knows and appreciates the value of family.

It is stories like these about Phil and Brooke which make you see athletes in a different light.

You admire them because of their human qualities, not just their golfing skills. Eat your heart out, Tiger!

Speaking of Brooke, she will be a star attraction at the upcoming Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club from Aug. 21 to 27 later this summer. An estimated 70,000 spectators are expected and Brooke will be the centre of attention, as she should be. She’s not only one of the world’s top golfers already in her young career, but she has shown that she’s the type of person who is human and likable.

Arnold Palmer had these traits, and he was known as the “King.”

It’s not hard to see Brooke soon being the “Queen.”

Better security, more common sense needed at large festivals

J

ust once, wouldn’t you like to hear this: a festival organizer proclaiming that “This year’s festival is going to be smaller than ever.”

Probably not going to happen, right?

But you can see the appeal. A Bluesfest for blues lovers, a jazz festival for jazz lovers, a folkfest for folk lovers — no overcrowding, no lineups, no thrill-seekers, just a pleasant, peaceful listening experience under the evening sun.

It used to be that way, many years ago, and then it changed. And it may have reached its zenith in the scary events one night at Bluesfest when 200 people had to be treated by paramedics, 10 were taken to hospital, people’s lawns were used as urinals and chaos seemed to reign for a while.

Now, everybody knows that the situation at the scene is not always as frightening as the situation that

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town is reported. And nobody will have difficulty agreeing with Bluesfest organizers that 99 per cent of attenders are well-behaved and enjoying the experience.

But the one per cent can cause a lot of harm. The Bluesfest people say they have talked it over with police and paramedics and security to figure out how to avoid similar problems in the future.

That’s good, because it’s obviously in the festival’s interest, as well as the general public’s, to keep things safe and peaceful.

Even if the horrors have been

overemphasized, public perception is important and there is a danger that tourists will stay away and parents will keep their teenagers from attending unless there positive signs of change.

When festivals strive for bigness, and succeed, crowds become an issue.

Lineups become necessary and, in this day and age, security. That can create problems, as we saw on Canada Day, even when people are not drunk and excitable.

If there were no need for lineups, Canada Day would have been a breeze, but creating the Biggest Canada Day Ever also created the necessity for lineups. And we saw what happened.

From the point of view of the festivals, growing bigger is unavoidable.

The financial structure around festivals demands it. Government grants are linked to attendance. Corporate sponsors want bigger crowds. So it is

not a simple matter, some would say it is not an option, to scale back.

Too bad, but if we are stuck with the large spectacle mentality then we have to figure out how to make it work.

We don’t want neighbourhoods to become unliveable for two weeks. We don’t want potential attendees to be fearful for what might happen. We don’t want anybody to get hurt.

The traditional methods, including tighter security at the gates, can be shown to create problems of their own.

And better security on the grounds, while it is needed, doesn’t deal with one of the core issues — that some people show up loaded and use the anonymity of a large crowd to let loose in troublesome ways.

In a perfect world, the other festivalgoers, the 99 per cent, would police themselves, setting an example and creating an ethic of behaviour that EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

would discourage troublesome acts.

Perhaps that happens already, to an extent, and prevents matters from becoming worse.

It couldn’t hurt to bring young festivalgoers, and maybe even some parents, into the conversation.

Notice of Completion Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review Photos by Jessica Cunha/Metroland

A house fit for a fairy

Kanata’s Abby Muir, 3, and mom Urszula Liwak design and create a fairy house at Lansdowne Park’s Civic Gardens on July 22. The fairy festivities were part of the larger inaugural Garden Promenade hosted by the Canadian Garden Council and Gardens Ottawa. Multiple events took place at 40 locations around the city to encourage people to visit Ottawa’s gardens.

The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility.

The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive.

The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain.

Consultation, in the form of technical advisory committee meetings and two public open houses were incorporated as part of the Class EA process and are documented in the Project File and Functional Design Report.

The Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Project File and Functional Design Report details the study process, findings and recommendations. The public is invited to review the report, available at the following locations:

OPINION

Karen McCrimmon

Working well from home takes practice

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

A

friend of mine recently found himself unemployed. Not one to sit on his laurels, he immediately reached out to his network and landed some pretty decent workfrom-home contracts. He’s a talented guy.

A few weeks in, he called me: “How have you been doing this for a dozen years?”

Having been gainfully employed, with pension, for the better part of 20 years, he was having trouble adjusting to the lack of nine-to-five security.

More than that, however, I could sense he was feeling the isolation.

More Canadians than ever are

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Canada’s Defence Policy The Government of Canada released its new defence policy that outlines the revamped vision and priorities of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is the first costed defence policy and provides constant and predictable funding that will allow Canada to meet the evolving challenges of tomorrow.

To meet Canada’s defence needs at home and abroad, the Government will grow defence spending by 70% from $18.9 billion in 2016-17 to $32.7 billion in 2026-27. This increase in defence spending will modernize, renew, and grow the operational capabilities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

This will ensure our military will be better prepared to act simultaneously to defend Canada, meet NORAD and NATO obligations, and also contribute to global peace and stability.

We also know that military families make incredible sacrifices. Families play a massive role in the health of the Canadian Armed Forces, which is why we’ve announced policies aimed to assist the families behind the uniform.

We are pledging over $350 million in funding to support Canadian Forces families. This is in addition to our pledge to exempt deployed personnel on international operations from paying federal income tax.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the Statistics Canada General Survey, work-from-home employees make up nearly one-fifth of the workforce.

Technology and the growth of the knowledge economy has made it possible for companies to outsource call centres, data processing, sales — basically anything that can be done with a computer and a telephone on hand.

To those bracing themselves for the daily commute, clocking bum-inseat time, it can sound like a dream.

In many cases, it’s a good fit for families trying to find that elusive work-life balance.

But, there are a number of pitfalls to working remotely. Employees working at home often miss those key social interactions that do, in fact, occur by the water cooler. Being absent from the subtle changes to team dynamic or processes or priority shifts that occur day-to-day can leave telecommuters feeling like an appendage.

Telecommuters frequently miss the casual, ongoing feedback that leaves them working in a vacuum.

For my friend, working as a contractor from home makes him feel he has to be punching buttons eight hours a day in order to prove his worth to clients.

“I really just want to go for a run right now,” he said to me at 12:30 p.m. one day.

“Go,” I said. “This is your lunch break.”

Self-motivation and self-management can be hard, however. For years, I was my own worst manager.

Once I clocked in at 8 a.m., I refused to take breaks, determined to put in a solid eight hours per day. “If I don’t work, I don’t get paid” was my mantra.

It’s ridiculous, of course. First, I normally get paid by the project. If that’s not the case, I’m clocking a day rate. I learned the hard way — from burn out and unwanted weight gain — that building in time for regular fitness breaks, meals and even “gap out” time is how the most successful consultants get ahead.

Whether you’re an employee who works from home or a business owner, there are a few things to keep in mind to guard your sanity.

Check in regularly. Even a quick touch-base phone call or video call with your client or team can help you set priorities for the day.

Build breaks into your schedule. In an average eight-hour day, employees generally get a minimum of two 15-minute breaks and 30-60 minutes for lunch. In that time, it’s important to work in some exercise, so you don’t die at your keyboard.

Set interim deadlines. If you’re working on a big project, establish with your client or manager some key touch-base points, with deliverables, if possible. This not only helps to keep you focused on the task (read: avoid procrastination), but also means you find out if the project is going off the rails long before the final product is due.

If you get stuck, ask for help. People often procrastinate when they’re not clear what’s expected of them.

A quick call to your manager or client for clarification can help you move forward on a project. If you’re not comfortable with that approach, set up a team of colleagues outside of your work or business that can be on hand to advise you when you need a quick boost.

Where possible, vary activities according to your own energy levels. I know that I write best in the morning, which is why I frequently get up at 5 a.m. to draft my work. I can often carry this momentum through the morning, but by 1 p.m., my creativity is lagging and the flow is gone.

Over the years, I realized it’s best for me to set conference calls or tackle administrative tasks in the afternoon.

I also give myself flexibility to switch from one project to another when I’m stagnating.

Working from home can be great when it’s done right. To avoid becoming a recluse, depressed, ineffective employee or business-owner, however, figure out how to be your own best manager.

As for my friend, he’s using his new-found flexibility to take his firstever month-long vacation in August, after which he plans to be bum-inseat at a nine-to-five for the next 20 years. Working from home isn’t for everyone.

Vimy: what it means to Canadians

SERVING KANATA NORTH

“ ... what people think about Vimy is different from how it affected the war at the time”: war museum historian

City Councillor, Kanata North

HYDRO CORRIDORS – The Morgan’s Grant corridor work is now underway. I will continue to work with residents there to undertake ways to beautify the corridor after Hydro One has finished. Serious concerns are now being expressed by those who are the next area to be impacted, where some have lines over their backyards. I’m working with the Beaverbrook Community to create a working group to research the situation and work on a solution. If you live along the Hydro Corridor and you would like to be informed or part of the committee email info@kanatabeaverbrook.ca and let them know your expertise and how you could assist. We’ll hold a public meeting in the fall to update everyone, including Hydro One, on a less destructive ways to maintain a hydro easement.

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Staff at the Canadian War Museum knew the 100-year anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge would be a major event.

But they didn’t want to simply provide a chronology of the fight.

Vimy is too important to simply state the facts.

“We knew there would be hundreds of exhibits about Vimy,” said Mélanie Morin-Pelletier, a historian who helped create the exhibit, Vimy — Beyond the Battle.

“It’s easier to say, ‘On this day of the battle, this happened, and on this day, this happened,’” she said.

The exhibition instead documents the 100 years since Vimy, and how Canadians commemorate that battle, and every conflict since. It leaves the chronology of Vimy to the museum’s permanent collection, which itself has been expanded for the centennial.

“We’re using Vimy as a stepping-stone to ask how Canadians commemorate their military history,” Morin-Pelletier said during a July 17 presentation at Pinhey’s Point, first in the 2017 series of public lectures at the historical site.

KANATA NORTH PICNIC – Thanks to everyone who came out to the Picnic this year. The rain held off and everyone enjoyed a wonderful summer evening in the park. There were lots to do for the kids and the entertainment was great. I would especially like to thank the sponsors, participants, entertainers and volunteers.

This event would not be possible without the tremendous support of all involved. Save July 18th, 2018 for a repeat!

K – STATUE UNVEILING – I was so please with the number of former City of Kanata employees and friends who came to the unveiling of the K-statue, which records the names of all working for Kanata on Dec 31, 2000 (the day before the present amalgamated Ottawa started. To view this statue go to Maritime Way at Canadian Shield.

Thousands of Canadians paid their own way to the 1936 unveiling of the Vimy Monument in France. It illusrates one way Canadians have commemorated our military battles over the past century, a tradition documented in the Canadian War Museum’s exhibition Vimy – Beyond the Battle.

“In the end, what people think about Vimy is different from how it affected the war at the time.”

A CANADIAN VICTORY

The museum’s permanent collection documents the horrific

facts surrounding Vimy, where Canadians led an attack on German positions between April 9 and 12, 1917.

Other Allied forces had tried to take this high ground, but failed. The Canadians took the ridge, but at a cost of more than

Victory and ‘a sense of belonging’ Continued from page 13

She said morale was low among Allied forces before the battle.

“There was no sign the end of the war was near,” and hundreds of thousands were already dead, many lost in large battles that lasted days.

The Canadian attack on Vimy was to take place shortly before a major offensive by the French further to the south.

Morin-Pelletier said the Canadian capture of Vimy Ridge raised the morale of troops and civilians before the French push, but the rest of French plan turned into a disaster.

“It’s not surprising Vimy is virtually non-existent in French and British accounts of the war,” she said. “We were often treated like colonial inferiors.”

But Vimy stirred Canadian pride, and Morin-Pelletier said Canadians began to see Vimy as the first steps of an independent armed force, no longer just a component of Britain’s military.

The importance of Vimy to Canadians was highlighted by the response to the Vimy Memorial’s unveiling in France in 1936. More than 6,000 Canadians went on a pilgrimage to the unveiling, paying their own way during the Depression years.

During the Second World War, pictures of the monument were included in posters intended to stoke patriotism in Canadians facing another conflict. A copy of the poster is included in Vimy — Beyond the Battle.

Canadian War Museum historian Mélanie Morin-Pelletier (right) helped create the exhibit Vimy – Beyond the Battle. During a July 17 presentation at Pinhey’s Point, she said the exhibit uses Vimy as a stepping stone to ask how Canadians commemorate their military history. At left is Michelle Leboldus of the Pinhey’s Point Foundation. has been used to “promote values and causes that are important to us in the present.” We commemorate, and also get a feeling of belonging.

She said the sense of belonging started by victory at Vimy has stretched across the 100 years since 1917.

And we still see it today, illustrated in the exhibition by a flag flown above the highway where Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan passed on their way to burial. The flag sits near grave markers from Vimy, commemorating a battle a century earlier.

In Ottawa, the Vimy Memo-

rial Bridge was opened in 2014 and serves as a reminder for all who cross the Rideau River.

“Commemoration belongs to everyone,” said Morin-Pelletier. “It’s a universal experience.”

Vimy – Beyond the Battle runs through Nov. 12 at the Canadian War Museum. Regular admissions fees apply.

On Aug. 21 at 7 p.m., architect Malcolm Wildeboer will discuss the design of the West Carleton War Memorial as part of the Pinhey’s Point Foundation’s free lecture series. The historical site is located at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd.

Operators of Kumo, the spider, show off her moves during a preview at the Aviation and Space museum on July 19. La Machine premieres near the National Gallery of Canada at 8 p.m. on July 27.

La Machine features huge walking spider, dragon-horse

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

With the head of a dragon and the body of a horse, Long Ma will battle a spider, named

Kumo on the streets of downtown Ottawa.

“The Spirit of the DragonHorse, The Stolen Wings,” created by Francois Delarozière, the artistic director of

La Machine, a French theatre production company, will take over Centretown from July 27 to 30.

Traffic impacts will also be huge Continued from page 17

The street performance continues the tale of the half-horse, half-dragon that keeps watch over humanity. While sleeping, the giant spider sneaks into his home and burns the dragon’s wings and robs his sacred temple.

Kumo takes refuge in Ottawa, beneath the streets, after having been recently awakened and forced to emerge by light rail construction. Responding to an apparition, Long Ma intends to recover his temple in the capital.

Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme said he hopes visitors will “embrace the fantasy of LaMachine.”

The performance is a North American first. It cost $3.5 million to bring it to the city. The price includes the cost of transporting the characters. Talks to get the show to Ottawa began in 2015.

“The goal of La Machine was to reposition Ottawa as a hip, cool and trendy city,” Laflamme said.

The horse-dragon stands 12 metres tall, five metres wide and

weighs 45 tonnes. It’s made of wood and steel and is able to trot, gallop, rear and lie down.

Long Ma can also spit fire from its mouth and blow smoke from its nostrils.

Resting, the spider is 5.7 metres high and six metres wide, but can reach 13 metres tall when crawling. Fully outstretched, she measures 20 metres long; she weighs 38 tonnes.

Laflamme said he wants residents and visitors to be part of the dream and part of the story.

“It’s not a parade, it’s monumental street theatre…It will transform the downtown core into a large playground for the public.”

And the public can get up close and personal with the two characters as they walk around the city, feeling the heat from the dragon and the water the spider spits out.

“We want people to maintain organic contact with the machines – to touch the dragon and feel the heat of the fire,” Laflamme said.

Viewers will also be treated to local music that trails the spider on its walkabouts

through city streets.

The show takes place in several different parts of the core, but begins when the spider awakens near the National Gallery of Canada on July 27 at 8 p.m.

The horse-dragon awakens near City Hall at 10 a.m. the following day.

The two characters meet up for the first time near the Supreme Court of Canada on July 29 at 9:30 p.m.

“That’s when the magic happens,” Laflamme said.

The grand finale takes place outside the Canadian War Museum on July 30.

The result will be several road closures each day that are expected to impact buses, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, said the city’s traffic manager Phil Landry. A list of the closures is available on the city’s website at http://ottawa.ca/en/lamachine#traffic-impacts.

Parts of the downtown and ByWard Market will be turned into pedestrian zones throughout the day. The long list of closures changes each day. For the full schedule, visit Ottawa2017. ca.

Kiwanis Club of Bytown pays it forward with scholarship

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Clara Lockhart (left) is this year’s recipient of the Kiwanis Club of Bytown’s university scholarship and is joined by Bill Gosewitz (centre), a past president of the Ottawa club and creator of the Pay it Forward scholarship, joined by his wife Joanne.

The Kiwanis Club of Bytown continues to pay it forward every year, helping university students pay for their studies.

This year, more than 63 people applied for the grant, offered to those studying at the University of Ottawa.

For Bill Gosewitz, a past president of the Ottawa club and creator

of the Pay it Forward scholarship, the decision was a simple one.

“I looked at my list and went back to the university and said, ‘Here’s my list … here is the person I would pick hands above anybody else,’” he told those gathered for the club’s seventh annual Pay it Forward golf tournament, held at the Kanata Golf and Country Club on July 14.

Clara Lockhart, a 20-year-old from Westboro, received the $2,000

scholarship to help pay for her fourth year in the bachelor of music program.

“She’s an amazing young lady,” said Gosewitz, who lives in Bridlewood. “(She) is probably one of the most special people I’ve met in my years as a Kiwanis member.”

Lockhart, a Nepean High School graduate, has been involved with various Kiwanis programs throughout her schooling.

She joined her high school’s Key Club, a program for secondary school students that promotes volunteering and community involvement, in Grade 9. By her final year, she was president of her school’s chapter.

When she began her studies at the University of Ottawa, she joined the Circle K club and is now president of that group.

‘Giving in its purest form expects nothing in return’ Continued from page 20

“I didn’t know that there were 63 other people who had applied,” Lockhart said of the scholarship.

“I’m very surprised and incredibly excited and so grateful. It’s hard to pay for school, and you can’t do it without these kinds of events and organizations.”

Highlights from her CV include a fundraising spaghetti dinner put on by Nepean High School’s Key Club that raised $5,000 for childhood cancer research; involvement with the Purse Project, which collects gently-used purses, fills them with feminine hygiene products and donates them to women’s shelters around the city; and monthly visits with residents of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre.

“It’s just something that makes you feel good,” said Lockhart on her involvement. “When you’re so busy with your studies, you don’t have a lot of time to give to other things, but you can always make a little bit of time (for volunteer efforts).”

Gosewitz said the university has approached him with a fundmatching proposal if the group can raise $30,000. The local club has about $23,000 so far, and

7 Tips for Entrepreneurs

Westboro resident Clara Lockhart (left) speaks with Mayor Jim Watson (centre) and councillor George Darouze at the Kiwanis Club of Bytown’s Pay it Forward golf tournament on July 14. funds raised from the golf tournament’s silent auction would also go toward the pot.

“If we can get to $30,000 — so, $7,000 (needed) — they will match the money,” he said.

PAYING IT FORWARD

Gosewitz said he expected the golf tournament to raise between $10,000 and $12,000 for the various charities and programs the Kiwanis Club supports, which includes the Leukemia and Lym-

phoma Society of Canada and the Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario foundation, as well as the scholarship.

Mayor Jim Watson, a Kiwanis member, attended the wrap-up of the tournament by proclaiming July 14, 2017 Pay it Forward Day. “The Pay it Forward concept is to promote community spirit through intentional acts of kindness,” said Watson, reading from the proclamation. “Together we can make a difference, creating positive change in our community

and world.”

Over the years, the Kiwanis Club of Bytown has given back more than $100,000 to local programs and 100 per cent of funds raised are reinvested, said Gosewitz.

“The money that we raise actually does go back into the community. It doesn’t just magically disappear,” he said. “I have a saying that giving in its purest form expects nothing in return. I just want to make the world a better place; the community a better place.”

Congratulations and thank you to all the entrepreneurs among us. You are the backbone of our economy.

Corporations are consistently seeking employees that have the very spirit that motivates one to become a business owner; self-driven, innovative and committed to results. Over my years of working with business I have gleaned some of the most common traits from the most successful ones. These traits also work in any aspect of your life.

VISION. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Create a clear picture of where you wish to be then write it down and keep it in front of you every day.

Automatically, your thoughts and actions will move you toward your goal. What is at the forefront of your mind will determine your actions. Also, it makes it easy for others to support you.

The universe will conspire to get you want you want.

BE PASSIONATE. If you love what you do you will attract the right people to get you to your goals. How does one create passion? Know your why. Create a clear understanding of what difference you and your business make in the world. The what and the how of your business will not inspire you or others.

However, if you can make the connection between what you do on a daily basis and it ultimately will serve others then you will never work another day in your life.

WORK SMART. There is a big difference between working hard and working smart. Time is your most precious resource, invest it wisely. When you embark on any activity; taking a meeting, attending an event, engaging in social media or anything you spend time on, set your intention before you start and then ask if it is a good use of your time. Another key component of working smart is spending time working on your business as well as in your business. Planning your work will keep you true to your ultimate goals and keep you from becoming easily prioritizing work that is urgent instead of important. Use this 3 step plan for working smart; 1. Set your goals, 2. Create systems and automation in your business and 3. Focus on your your strengths and outsource the rest.

LEARN. The commitment to ongoing learning (and hence change) has become the great separator in our society. Be committed to learn what is going on, how to improve your skills and how to be better. We are living in a time of unprecedented innovation and opportunities abound. Technology and culture have given us access to endless learning. And your business will only grow to the extent you grow. Collaboration, communication and coaching are the trend and becoming critical to business growth. Internally, work on building a resilient mindset, strong habits and specialized skills. Externally, stay on top of the leading innovation and recognizing new opportunities. What will distinguish you from many others?

Billionaire, Warren Buffet claims the number one skill to learn is public speaking.

Tune in next month for the final 3 tips and an inspirational story… thank you to our business community for your continued support of our advocacy and economic development work.

Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members.

Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and individuals thrive through economic development and providing value added services.

‘Summer on the River’ at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

You can enjoy a summer’s day on and around the Ottawa River on Sunday, Aug. 13.

This can happen at the Summer on the River event which is being hosted at the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site at Dunrobin.

At this event which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can relay and enjoy a vintage-inspired summer’s day at the Ottawa River site of the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site.

You will be able to take a paddle on the water or just sit back and listen to music. You can also tour the historic Pinhey house at the site or relax while enjoying a picnic on the lawn.

And you can do all of this for the reasonable price of only $6.30 per person, $10.45 for a couple or $16.75 for a family.

Wow! Those are vintage prices as well!

This Summer on the River event, which is put on by the City

of Ottawa with assistance from those involved with the Pinhey’s Point Foundation, is one of the marquee events held at the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. It used to be called Riverfest but the name has now been changed.

Horaceville, built initially in 1820 and named after founder Hamnett Pinhey’s eldest son, remained in the Pinhey family until it was sold to March Township by the heirs of Miss Ruth Pinhey who died in 1971.

In 1980, the Pinhey’s Point Foundation was established, charged with preserving and developing the estate as a historic site and passive recreation area.

The Foundation acquired the property in 1983 and conveyed it to the City of Kanata in 1990.

Kanata was part of the amalgamation process that created what is now the City of Ottawa in 2001.

The City of Ottawa owns, manages and maintains the site and is responsible for the programming. However, the artifact

collections remain in the ownership of the Pinhey’s Point Foundation.

Through its volunteer members, the Foundation presents historical exhibits each summer, organizes events, publishes a twice-yearly newsletter (the Horaceville Herald), assists in staffing the house for special events and generally interprets the history of the Pinhey estate, the Pinhey family and the former township of March and City of Kanata.

At the same time, the Foundation’s board of directors acts in an advisory capacity with the city on heritage aspects of the site.

The Hon. Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey (1784-1857) was a young London importer and ship insurance broker who immigrated to Canada in 1820 with a small fortune, intent on developing an estate in the Canadian wilderness.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Ontario Doesn’t Need Another Control Board Last week the Premiers from every province gathered to discuss the impending federal legalization of marijuana. Next July, in Ontario marijuana will be a legalized substance to be bought and sold. When the time comes, we will need to have a solid regulatory framework ready to kick in and I wanted to briefly share my thoughts on what that should look like.

I believe that we need a free and fair market system to regulate the production, distribution, and licensed sale of cannabis within the province of Ontario. I believe that the free market is the best mechanism to manage this system and we can leave it up to private industry to determine the success or failure of the industry. Creating a new version of the LCBO is not the solution, government monopolies or government sanctioned monopolies have proven ineffective in the past and this is not going to change.

An important part of this new system will be keeping marijuana out of the hands of minors and taking power away from organized crime. That is why we need to make sure that any plan that is passed is signed off by the OPP as well as regional police forces.

We need to get this right the first time; we cannot afford to saddle ourselves with a system that doesn’t work, we already know what that looks like and it isn’t pretty.

Andrew West (right) is congratulated by Ron Servant, president of the Kanata-Carleton Green Party association, following his victory at the riding nomination meeting on June 27.

Andrew West wins Carleton-Kanata Green party nod

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

Andrew West is quickly becoming a political veteran in the West Carleton-Kanata area.

The 42-year-old won the Green party nomination for the newly formed KanataCarleton riding for the June 2018 provincial election on Tuesday, June 27. West was a provincial riding candidate

in 2014 and also represented the Green party in the 2015 federal election.

West spoke with Metroland Media on July 14 following his nomination win.

“It went really well,” West said. “We had a nice turnout.

It was the same night as the Ottawa South Green nomination meeting. I got to connect with several people.”

See GREENS, page 27

Greens more than a one-issue party: West Continued from page 26

West said he’s already been speaking with people in the riding.

“I’ve already been actively, actively campaigning and I continue to do that,” he said. “I am going to share how important the Green party is. My example is British Columbia with three Green party members in the legislature. And how they can hold the balance of power. That can happen here. It’s time to vote Green.”

When asked about the issues affecting his riding, he says they are similar everywhere.

“The issues I hear about are the same here as in all of Ontario,” West said. “The high cost of hydro, education. There’s a bit more concern with agriculture in West Carleton."

West says he’s regularly in touch with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) to get a pulse on the industry.

“I’m dedicated to putting myself in the shoes of farmers and understanding their issues,” he said. “Our party is the only provincial party to sign the Food and Water First Pledge.”

The pledge, created by the David Suzuki Foundation and its allies in the farming and local food movements, is meant to help protect productive farmland.

West, a graduate of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law, is the attorney general critic for the Green Party of Ontario. His law degree includes a specialization in environmental law with extensive training in resolving disputes. His father was a landowner with agricultural interests, so West had an early introduction to the complexities of the industry.

“It’s so complex, things the average person might not be aware of,” West said. “Where their food comes from, how it is produced and gets to the table.

I’m grateful for the OFA’s help and look forward to continuing to grow a strong relationship with the federation.”

West says the riding is a combination of rural West Carleton and suburban Kanata and therefore has many diverse issues.

“It’s a diverse riding,” he said.

“A common misconception is we are a one-issue party and

that’s very wrong.”

When not working in law out of his Carp office or campaigning, he is often volunteering. He has given his time to Amnesty International, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, WWF-Canada and has chaired the Taste for Justice fundraiser.

He also volunteered in Constance Bay, assisting with flood relief efforts after the recent, historic Ottawa River flood.

“As the climate changes, we’re going to be experiencing more problems like this and we’re going to have to adapt,” he said.

He also feels voters are going to have to adapt following recent political news affecting the riding. West mentions the turmoil in the Mississippi MillsCarleton riding following the ejection-departure (depending on who you ask) of MPP Jack MacLaren from the Progressive Conservative party.

“Many Conservatives left the party because of what they are calling a toxic environment,” West said. “My hope for them is they come and talk to me if they want to be a part of a really positive environment. I’m ready to talk to anyone.”

Veterans, first responders relaunch 22 pushups challenge Wounded Warriors challenges Canadians to help reach $150,000

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Canadian Forces veterans and first responders completed 22 pushups on the lawn of the Parliament Buildings on July 22 to relaunch the viral fundraising campaign a year after it began.

Thousands of Canadians participated in the movement, which gained traction on social media channels and raised $94,000 for programs offered

by Wounded Warriors Canada, said Phil Ralph, national program director of the organization. For Canada 150, the non-profit is again challenging Canadians to complete the 22 Pushups 22 Days challenge.

“This is the first anniversary of this campaign,” said Ralph.

“We’re challenging Canadians to continue the campaign and get to $150,000.”

Participants are invited to film themselves doing 22 push

ups for a 22-day period, to nominate someone new each day, and to make a one-time $22 donation to Wounded Warriors.

The organization provides numerous supports and programs to veterans, first responders and their families, such as helping to fund service dogs for people with PTSD, getting homeless veterans off the streets, couples-based equine therapy and many others.

“We’re really proud because of grassroots initiatives like this we’re able to put 82 cents of every dollar that we earn directly into programming,” said Ralph.

“Because of the support from Canadians coast-to-coast we’ve been able to deliver over $2-million in programming in the last fiscal year and we’re hoping to do even more this year.”

Matthew Tofflemire and his service dog Gordon participated in the challenge on the Hill.

“Gordon, he’s helped me get my life back,” said the 15-year military veteran and Ottawa firefighter. “I have four young children and a beautiful wife.

My house is busy and it just came to a point where I needed

pens it comes so quickly, it helps me regroup and focus again.”

Tofflemire was diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago and has been off work while going through treatment. Funding from Wounded Warriors, raised from campaigns like the 22 pushup challenge, paid for Tofflemire’s service dog through the Canadian charity Paws Fur

Thought, which pairs service dogs with veterans and first responders with PTSD. Gordon, a black Labrador, is never far from Tofflemire’s side.

He can sense when his human is agitated or if a situation is becoming too stressful.

“He’s very calm and that helps calm me down,” said Tofflemire. “In social situations,

if he’s sensing that I'm stressed, he’ll come out and block people in front of me just to create a barrier and he’ll alert me. If he knows I'm getting agitated, he’ll start paying attention to me, maybe nudging me, even jumping up on me if it gets to that point.

“It helps me realize because sometimes when the trigger hap-

The 22 Pushups 22 Days challenge is based on a similar campaign that originated in the United States.

“Sadly, they lose 22 veterans to suicide each and every day,” said Ralph. “This was to raise awareness in the States, then it came up here.”

In Canada, 160 veterans died by suicide between 2004 and March 2014, “greater than the total number of Canadian Armed Forces members killed during the war in Afghanistan,” according to statistics on Wounded Warriors’ website.

The goal now is to raise the remaining $56,000 in order to hit the target by Nov. 11.

“We’re going to leave this campaign open until Remembrance Day this year and the challenge to Canadians from coast-to-coast is to get behind this campaign and to get us to $150,000 for Canada 150,” said Ralph. For details and to donate, visit woundedwarriors.ca.

Montreuil Jean Edgar (1927 – 2017)

With great sorrow, the family of Jean Montreuil, of Carleton Place and Mississippi Lake, advises that he passed away peacefully at Fairview Manor in Almonte, early Friday morning, July 21, 2017. He was in his 91st year.

A loving husband for 66 years, to the late Margery Arthur, and a caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he will be sadly missed by his children, their partners and families; John Montreuil (Donna), Michael Montreuil (Brenda), Geoffrey Montreuil, Madelaine Tuttle (Roger), Tom Montreuil (Sharon) and Beth Ellis (Kevan).

He took great delight in the lives and exploits of the families of his nine grandchildren – Angie (Dean Vennor), Eireann Montreuil (Dusty), Jamie Montreuil (Shawna) , Alison (Jean Francois Gallant), Victoria Tuttle (David Hallam), Stephen Tuttle (Libby), Shannon Tuttle (Jesse Smith), Cody Montreuil, Hannah Ellis (Matthew).

He will be remembered and sorely missed by his great-grandchildren – Corbin, Gavin and Paige Vennor, Makenna Whetung, Myriam, Emma, Amy, Charlotte and Gabriella Gallant, Levi Smith as well as his nieces and nephews.

Jean shared many adventures with his brother, Robert Montreuil (Lydia) and was predeceased by his sister, Marcelle Blanchette (Arthur). He enjoyed the company of his in-laws, Don and June Arthur of Stittsville and Joan Frappier of Temagami and was predeceased by Ian Frappier (Joan) and Jose and Elaine Holmes of Ottawa.

Born in Plessisville, QC on March 26, 1927, to Antoine and Mariette Montreuil, Jean enjoyed a full and adventurous life growing up in the Westboro area of Ottawa. He truly enjoyed his time with family close by, in Carleton Place and at the summer home, on Mississippi Lake, including cooking, fishing, ‘card’ games and cottage building.

He began his varied career as an insurance adjuster and enjoyed employment with Rockwell International Ltd., Leigh Instruments Ltd., Employment and Immigration Canada and pursued his entrepreneurial spirit in a variety of endeavors throughout the years.

Jean was proud to serve his community in many ways. He was the Chairman of the local chapter of the National Film Board, served four terms on the Lanark County School Board and was Chair of the School Board for two terms, in 1976 and 1979, he served as Commodore of the Carleton Place Canoe Club and was a Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed family expeditions to Canada’s East Coast and Maine, USA as well as his international travels with Margery.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Susie Quackenbush, Pam Murphy and the nursing staff of the AGH – Fairview Manor for their continual care and compassion.

Funeral service will be held at the Barker Funeral Home, Carleton Place, with a visitation at 11:00 a.m, followed by the Service at 1:00 p.m., on Wednesday, July 26th, 2017.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Arthritis Society, in memory of Jean. www.barkerfh.com

‘Preserving time’ full of good memories

J

ust walking past the kitchen door from the outside, you could tell what was going on inside by the sweet smells coming out through the screen. It was preserving time again. It was a sweet smell, and I thought the best place for me to be was out in the swing in the grape arbour.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like what was happening in the kitchen, it was because preserving time made the place unbearably hot from the steam coming from the boiling pots on the stove.

That day, raspberries were being ‘put down’.

We had picked them from deep in the bush, where we went every summer with the cream cans on the stone boat. And they sat in the summer kitchen overnight, and now they were ready to preserve.

MARY COOK Memories The berries simmered gently towards the back of the Findlay Oval, and right on the front burner Mother had sealers of every shape and size boiling in the biggest granite pot we owned. The fire had been started by Father before he headed for the barns, and you could feel the heat from every corner of the kitchen.

It didn’t take me long to eat my breakfast and head outside. My poor sister Audrey wasn’t so lucky.

She was in the stifling kitchen measuring out sugar, making sure

there were lids to match the sealers in the boiling pot, and setting out cookie sheets which would hold the bottled preserves until they were ready to move to the swinging shelf in the cellar.

I had watched the preserving many times, but always from a distance. Mother was too busy with the job at hand to tell me what chores she wanted done that day, and I was well aware that she and Audrey would be stuck in the steaming kitchen until every last berry was sealed in the jars.

Some jars were what I called ‘store bought’, while others had once held pickles or relishes, or even berries put down the year before.

I had everything timed perfectly.

I could hear, from the opened window looking out into the grape

arbour, that Audrey was lifting the jars out of the boiling water and putting them on the cookie sheets.

And I knew everything would be in the final stages of preserving, and it would be safe to go into the kitchen again. It amazed me how quickly the steam disappeared once the boiling stopped, and the breeze from the open window and screen door cooled everything down.

Of course, it was still very early in the morning, and the sun was yet to move high into the sky. Soon it would be stifling hot outside, and putting down preserves was well planned to avoid as much as possible the heat of the day.

When I peeked in the door, I could see my sister ladling the berries from the big pot into the jars on the kitchen table. And then I saw Mother, with a long fork, pick the lids from the steaming water, and gingerly seal each jar tight. Of

course, it was impossible to hit the jar dead on each time, and there was always a bit of preserves running down the outside of a sealer.

And so each one had to wiped clean with a wet string dishcloth.

And I marveled how Audrey or Mother could handle those hot jars as if they had been cooled in the icebox! There were always some of the boiled berries that were not put in sealers, because Father would be expecting a fruit nappy for his dinner just a few hours away.

The jars were allowed to cool completely before Audrey moved them to the cellar.

There they would join whatever preserves left over from last year, and the pickles and relishes already ‘done down’ earlier. It took a long time for the sweet smell to leave the kitchen.

Homicides and shooting in Lincoln Fields are related Police say incidents were targeted

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Two homicides and a shooting in the Lincoln Fields area are connected, according to police.

On July 24, just after 7 a.m., a man suffering from a gunshot wound was transported to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in serious condition, according to Ottawa police spokesperson Const. Chuck Benoit.

That man was to undergo surgery and was considered in stable, but still serious condition

24 hours later.

The police investigation that day led police to the Alpine Avenue area, which borders Frank Ryan Park and Elmhurst Park.

There, two unmanned police cars were stationed at a path at Alpine and Henley with police tape blocking the entrance.

Benoit said while the investigation was going on, a body was discovered near Tavistock Road.

Paramedics pronounced an Abdulrahman Al-Shammari, 26, dead at the scene. Currently, the major crime squad is leading the homicide investigation.

Later the same day, around 12:30 p.m., Ottawa police confirmed a second body of a deceased man was found in an

RE/MAX HALLMARK REALTY LTD., BROKERAGE

abandoned vehicle, still idling near Wayne and Aylen avenues.

Dirie Olol, 27, had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Benoit said there is no danger to the public after the three shootings.

“These incidents were targeted,” he said, adding the three victims were known to police.

Investigating three shootings isn’t a normal day for police, although last year there were a record number of shootings, Benoit said.

“Of course with any shooting there’s a shock factor,” he said.

“It’s concerning for sure, for the community and the families involved.”

Police continue to investigate the three shootings and are asking anyone who travelled in the area of Elmhurst Park or the Sir John A. MacDonald Parkway between Island Park Drive and Richmond Road between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. on July 24 and observed anything suspicious to contact the major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext.

5493.

“If there are witnesses or someone heard something, any tidbits are well taken by major crime,” Benoit said.

Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 or by downloading the Ottawa police app.

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

OSEG set to launch new charitable foundation Organization announces new executive director

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

There is a new charity in town for sports fans.

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has made the first step in creating the OSEG Charitable Foundation — finding the right person to take charge.

On July 17 the organization announced Janice Barresi would take on the role of executive director for the new foundation, which aims to officially launch in the fall.

“For OSEG, giving back has never not been an option,” Barresi said.

As a parent who has spent a number of her years around sports fields and facilities, and a huge Redblacks fan — Barresi called this job a dream come true.

Barresi’s role in the next month or so will be to define the foundation’s goals, budget and outreach potential.

Roger Greenberg, OSEG’s executive chair and managing partner, said Barresi, who has previous experience creating the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Foundation as well as has served as the executive director of Christie Lake Kids, is one of Ottawa’s best known and most experienced fundraisers.

“Her passion for developing

This charity will differentiate ourselves from others because of our area of youth in sports focus.”

Barresi said she also sees the foundation collaborating with other charities when it can.

There is a bit of a time crunch to capitalize on fundraising opportunities on upcoming events taking place at Lansdowne — the Grey Cup and the 2017 Scotiabank NHL 100 classic hockey game.

“There is a ton of opportunity here,” Barresi said.

“We will look at the fact that big,” is really the evolution of the fundraising efforts the Ottawa 67’s have done over the years.

The point, she said, is that this foundation will broaden to include all of OSEG’s teams.

About Allan Snelling

The Findlay Oval would be allowed to cool down completely after dinner at noon hour, a meal, which would come right out of the oven, since the top of the stove was taken over by the boiling berries and jars.

Preserving didn’t mean Father wouldn’t be having his usual big dinner when he came in from the barns. No siree...meat, potatoes and lots of vegetables...that’s what he expected, and that’s what he got!

Sometime during the day I would go down into the cellar through the outside door, and marvel at what was before me. And I knew if there was nothing else to eat during the coming winter, there would be lots of preserves, pickles and relishes to keep us from starving.

The thought warmed me right through.
