Sunset ceremony to commemorate 75th anniversary of Dieppe Raid Second World War battle ‘the bloodiest single day for Canada’s military’: legion

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Legion is preparing to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid at the cenotaph as the sun sets on Friday, Aug. 18.

“It’s one of those catastrophic events where the loss of life was so incredible,” said Moira Green, member of Branch 638.

“Launched Aug. 19 in 1942, (it) would prove to be the bloodiest single day for Canada’s military in the entire Second World War.” The raid began in the early morning against the port city of Dieppe, on the coast of Normandy, France.

Canadians made up the majority of the 6,000 troops sent into battle.

“Of the almost 5,000 Canadian soldiers who took part in this illfated raid on occupied France, more than half became casualties and 916 Canadians died,” said Green.

Almost 2,000 Canadians were taken prisoner, with more than a quarter of those wounded, according to the Kanata Legion.

“Seventy-one of the wounded died in captivity,” the legion wrote in an earlier article published in the Kourier-Standard. “Two thousand and eleven returned to Britain; 589 of them wounded, 28 mortally.”

Holding the remembrance ceremony at sunset is meaningful, said Green, as those Canadians who died in the raid never saw the coming night.

“We’re doing it primarily to re-

member the fallen,” said Green.

“As legion members we have a duty to remind and educate the public, especially our younger people, who need to know the sacrifice that has been made so they can live the kind of lives they do today.

Our freedom was not given to us – it was obtained through service and sacrifice.”

Members of the legion and local cadet corps will be taking part in the commemoration ceremony.

Everyone is welcome to attend and people are asked to be at the Kanata Cenotaph, located at Village Green Memorial Park at Colchester Square, by 6:45 p.m.

The service of remembrance will begin at 7 p.m. and a reception will follow at the legion, 70 Hines Rd.

The Kanata Legion will hold a sunset ceremony at the cenotaph on Aug. 18 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, which saw hundreds of Canadian troops die.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson will host a community meeting on Thursday, Aug. 17, regarding changes to a proposed condo development in the ward.

Brigil Construction has added a second level of underground parking for its proposed 79-unit condominium at 124 Battersea Cres.

The community meeting will be an opportunity for residents to ask questions before the proposal goes to planning committee on Aug. 22, said Wilkinson in a notice posted on her Facebook page. A staff report will be made available the week before.

The meeting will be held on Aug. 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in room A at the Beaverbrook library, 2500 Campeau Dr. Brigil had applied for a site plan revision and zoning bylaw amend-

ment earlier this year, seeking fewer parking spaces than what is required by the city, and higher density than what is currently allowed.

Wilkinson said she was pleased the developer was adding additional parking but she wasn’t happy about the higher density application. In an earlier interview, she said it’s highly likely the density request will be approved.

“I’m not happy with it but I’m not going to be able to stop it,” she said, adding planning staff at the city like higher-density builds because it means less urban expansion.

Brigil’s application is for a fourstorey, 79-unit condominium at 124 Battersea Cres. near Kanata Avenue and Richardson Side Road.

Visit Ottawa.ca/devapps for details on Brigil’s proposal.

Councillor urges residents to report suspicious activity in parks Continued from page 1

A police report was filed on Aug. 4, but police were unable to find any witnesses to the vandalism, something Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said is concerning.

“The fact that somebody’s out there chopping away at trees all night long and nobody heard it or saw it is very troubling,” he said, adding an axe was found near the felled trees.

“If we could get people to pay attention, particularly in that park, then we can protect the assets that are in that park for the families to enjoy.”

around the play structure and the next morning you could see where they were trying to start a fire,” said the councillor.

“If you see people hanging around there, especially late at night, take a moment and call 311; if you see someone actually cutting a tree or starting a fire, call the police number.”

MAKE THE RIGHT CALL

According to the police report, “This is the second incident of this nature this week,” said Benoit, adding a date

wasn’t provided for the second occurrence.

At the moment police don’t have anything to work with, but Benoit said the case could be reopened if people come forward with information.

To make a police report, call the non-emergency line at 613-236-1222 or visit ottawapolice.ca. To make a report anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Call city bylaw at 311 for noncriminal issues. In the event of an emergency or crime in progress, call 911.

This isn’t the first time young trees have been cut down in Rickey Place Park.

Eight newly planted trees were cut down in the fall of 2015.

The felled trees – both then and now – were left on the ground, surrounded by wood chips and splinters of bark.

Hubley said he was disappointed with the continued destruction in the area and said he’s unsure if he will replant for a third time.

“That takes money,” he said.

“After doing it once and having them all cut down again, I would need to see some more changes in the park before I think I would do that.”

City parks close at 11 p.m. and anyone found loitering in the area could be fined, said Hubley, adding he’s asking people who live near the area to be vigilant and to call police if they see anything suspicious.

“We had several reports of a group of people hanging

Crime tips could lead to $2,000 cash reward Crime Stoppers launches reminder initiative to encourage calls

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Crime Stoppers is encouraging residents to report crime in their communities by reminding them they could receive up to $2,000 for tips that lead to an arrest.

The reminder initiative was launched on Aug. 1 when Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley made a $500 donation to the reward program.

Last year, people called in more than 4,000 tips on a variety of crimes, said Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. The not-forprofit handed out more than $13,600 in reward money to anonymous tipsters.

“Those tips have helped law enforcement with hundreds of arrests,” said McMullen, adding protecting callers’ identities is of the utmost importance.

“We go to great lengths to protect the anonymity of our tipsters,” he said. “You’ll never see us trumpeting our own success in the media or talking about how this particular tip

led to solving a specific case.”

The way it works is “a bit tricky” but effective, said McMullen.

Crime Stoppers doesn’t use call display, callers are never asked to identify themselves and conversations are not recorded. For those worried about a court case, tipsters are not called to testify.

“It is 100 per cent anonymous,” said McMullen. “We don’t know who you are.”

To collect a reward, Crime Stoppers gives people a code when they report information. Callers are then asked to phone back within a time frame and use their code to determine if their tip led to an arrest.

“If your tip is deemed to be information that was used in an arrest or a seizure than you would qualify,” said McMullen, adding all rewards are given in cash.

REMINDER INITIATIVE

The reminder initiative encourages residents to report crime in their neighbourhoods, either through Ottawa

KEEP CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OUT OF LANDFILLS! For a list of accepted materials, visit wasterecoverycentre.com or call (613) 820.2332

police or Crime Stoppers, and “to remind them to lock their property – whether it’s their car or shed or house,” said McMullen.

Hubley said he will be installing Crime Stoppers signs in different areas throughout south Kanata, although the list of locations was not made public.

“Kanata South is not a high crime area but when something does hit you – and it can be as simple as someone opening your car door and rifling through your car – you’re a victim of crime and you feel it,” he said. “And because you’re not used to it in your neighbourhood, I think it has a bigger impact than if you were in one of the more high crime areas.”

Parts of his ward experienced a number of thefts from vehicles last summer. Thanks to residents who called in suspicious incidents, police were able to make arrests related to crimes.

“There was a couple of arrests last fall,” said Hubley.

“I’m noticing certainly less frequency with it for sure.”

Anyone with information on any type of crime can submit their tips anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at crimestoppers.ca.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A tarmac travesty T ake 300-plus people, stick them in a tube for seven hours, turn up the temperature and then keep them confined for another six hours.

It’s a recipe for unhappy customers.

An Air Transat flight stuck on Ottawa airport’s tarmac for six hours on a steamy July 31 was a travelling travesty.

The plane was diverted to Ottawa from Montreal due to storms. There was a stormy atmosphere inside the plane too after passengers waited and waited to take off for Montreal.

It’s not entirely clear what caused the lack of service to the plane – fuel and water. The airline – which has received a serious black eye from all the horror stories shared by passengers – and the airport have traded accusations about what services were offered to the Air Transat flight, and what services were declined.

All we can be sure of is that a seven-hour flight ended up being about double that time, and that the stay in Ottawa was brutal due to lack of air conditioning on a hot day.

Hopefully a Canadian Transportation Agency investigation will get to the bottom of it.

It shouldn’t have happened but it did. But job one is to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

In May, the federal government introduced legislation to create a passenger bill of rights.

The goal is to make sure travellers know the service levels to which they are entitled, and provide compensation if travel arrangements are disrupted by events within the airline’s control.

It’s a fair request of air carriers. In fact, common sense says Canadian travellers should have been protected by such measures a generation ago. Maybe it’s a sign of poor quality across the board that Canadians need to spell out such minimums of service in a federal law.

A new passenger bill of rights should be passed quickly and it should be enforced.

Every political party should be on board with better protections for captive airline passengers.

Football is not the leader in concussion stats

I

n a recent column for the American Press, author Paul Newberry predicted the demise of American football.

His argument centred on concussion statistics, citing a University of Boston study that found of 202 former professional football players, nearly all had a brain disease resulting from blows to the head.

It’s a neatly, cherry-picked stat that Newberry uses to make football out to be a “gladiatorial sport,” which he argues has no place in modern society.

Three years ago, my eldest started playing football. I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea. Watching a bunch of seven- to-10-year-olds engage in this wild and violent behaviour often left me feeling nervous. Relatives have frequently questioned why I allow my son to continue in such a violent sport.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse At the same time, I watched my son thrive in team sport for the first time, rapidly gaining confidence he never had in hockey, volleyball or soccer. He quickly acquired knowledge of every technical aspect of what is a highly strategic game, one I’ve slowly come to understand and appreciate.

His co-ordination and fitness levels improved. He explained his personal sentiment that football is truly the only team sport, where every player has an essential role in the success of each play.

But is football the most dangerous sport in America, as Newberry would like us to believe?

The short answer is no.

In 2015, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study examining concussion risk among athletes per 1,000 minutes of athletic exposure (AE). The research included a review of 23 international studies on concussions in sports. The average risk of head injuries across all sports was 0.23 injuries per 1,000 minutes of AE. The concussion rate was 18 times higher than average for rugby, five times greater for hockey, and a little more than double for American football. Soccer, often considered by parents to be a safer sport, was also higher than average, particularly among males.

As soccer becomes more popular across the U.S., particularly in high

Former Sens GM Bryan Murray dies at 74 ‘Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known’: Melnyk

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton

BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Former Ottawa Senators general manager and head coach Bryan Murray has died at age 74.

A public celebration of life will be held on Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Murray coached in the NHL for 18 seasons and 1,239 games.

The 2016-17 season was his 35th consecutive year in the league.

Originally from Shawville, Que., he was one of 10 children.

Murray coached for five teams in the NHL, the Capitals, Red Wings, Panthers, Mighty Ducks, and finally the Senators. Amassing 620 wins during his head coaching career places him 12th all time.

“Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known, and also a great father, mentor and teacher,” said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk in a statement. “We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Geri, daughters, Heide and Brittany and the entire Murray family on their loss.”

In 2014, Murray announced that he had stage 4 colon cancer that spread to his liver and lungs. Despite his health situation, Murray continued working as GM until Pierre Dorion was brought in and he was given an advisory role with the team.

Christopher Whan/Metroland

Former Senators GM Bryan Murray, seen here in 2015, has died after a long battle with colon cancer. Murray served in the NHL in many capacities for the better part of three decades. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Even when the Senators were deep into the playoffs, Murray was in the team box cheering every goal and good play.

Murray began his coaching career with the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Junior Hockey League. He was then offered a head-coaching post with the WHL’s Regina Pats.

After winning a Memorial Cup with the Pats in 1980, he was offered a job with the Hershey Bears of the AHL before becoming the head coach of the Washington Capitals in 1980.

Murray’s three decades in the league is one of the longest tenures of anyone in the NHL, and he has left his mark on many people and players around the NHL as well as other organiza-

tions in Ottawa.

“Bryan Murray’s strength and character were reflected in the teams he coached and the teams he built over decades of front office excellence,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.

“While his warmth and dry sense of humor were always evident, they were accompanied by the fiery competitiveness and determination that were his trademarks.

“As we mourn Bryan’s passing, we celebrate his many contributions to the game – as well as his courage. The National Hockey League family sends our deepest condolences, comfort and support to Bryan’s family, his many friends and all whose

lives he influenced.”

The Ottawa Redblacks and the Ottawa 67’s also expressed their condolences on Twitter.

Murray is survived by his wife Geri and his two daughters Heide and Brittany.

The Ottawa Senators will be holding a celebration of life at the Canadian Tire Centre on August 24 at 1 p.m. that will be open to the public. All guests are asked to enter the CTC via Gates 1 and 2.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Make-AWish Foundation, the Shawville Recreation Association, DEBRA Canada (in honour of Jonathan Pitre), Jardins Éducatif du Pontiac or the charity of your choice.

National Peacekeeper Day August 9th was a day to recognize the Canadian men and women who have served in peacekeeping and peacemaking operations. National Peacekeeper Day allows us to reflect on the ongoing leadership and resilience that the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces display overseas in UN, NATO, and other multinational task forces. We can all take a moment to think of the Peacekeepers who have sacrificed so much throughout the years, and the families who supported them.

International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is recognized on August 9th as well. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and offers our Government an opportunity to reaffirm our support for Canadian Indigenous Peoples. While we continue to work collaboratively with various groups from across the country, there is still work to be done.

We are working hard on issues of reconciliation to ensure that Indigenous cultures and peoples are respected and protected.

validations, • four stolen vehicles or licence plates, • two people wanted by police, and • numerous other offences under the Criminal Code of Canada and the Highway Traffic Act. The department’s first device was deployed in August 2016. Its success led to outfitting another traffic servicesdedicated vehicle with a second device.

“The next phase of the project will involve making available an ALPR vehicle to OPS front line patrol services, in order to increase enforcement throughout the city,” the department said in a statement.

Sgt. Robert Cairns, with the traffic services unit, said the licence plate reader program “has become an enormous success in identifying drivers who should not be on the road.”

Sgt. Robert Cairns/Ottawa Police Service/Submitted

The Ottawa Police Service is planning to expand its licence plate reader program from its traffic services unit to frontline patrol cruisers based on the results of two devices over the past year. Several hundred drivers have been pulled over for a wide range of offences under the Highway Traffic Act and the Criminal Code of Canada.

The use of the technology was also applauded by Safer Roads Ottawa, which is a program that partners with other city departments — including emergency services — to pre-

vent or reduce the number of road deaths or related injuries in Ottawa by improving road safety.

Choral Murder mystery comes rehearsal to Diefenbunker open to all

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

KANATA CHORAL SOCIETY

Like to sing but hesitate to join a choir? The Kanata Choral Society will host an open rehearsal on Sept.

11 as it begins the new season.

It’s an opportunity for interested individuals to see if the choir and its music are to their taste, without any obligations to join.

Rehearsals are for the Dec. 16 concert, which will feature Christmas favourites, both sacred and secular that are classical and popular in nature.

The Christmas Concert will showcase strings and soloists.

The group also participates annually in a benefit concert on Dec. 10 in aid of the Heron Road Emergency Food Bank.

A lighter concert, geared toward families, takes place on March 3.

“This is usually the time when we let our ‘hairs’ down and just have fun,” said the choral society.

All through August at the Diefenbunker, as part of Archeology Month, top secret geocaches will be placed above ground, ready to be found by geocaching enthusiasts.

Below ground, a murder mystery fundraiser is being planned for Saturday, Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Murder at the Diefenbunker will be a night of scandal and intrigue, set at the height of the Cold War. Someone is mysteriously murdered and a search over two levels of the bunker is launched to discover who did it, why and how.

The cost for this murder mystery fundraiser is $40 per person.

The Diefenbunker is a four-storey, 100,000-squarefoot underground bunker

Dunrobin soccer star named to Canada’s Danone Nations Cup team

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

A love of soccer is bringing a Dunrobin boy to New York after being named to Canada’s Danone Nations Cup Team.

The Danone Nations Cup, established in 1999, is the world’s biggest soccer tournament featuring teams from 32 countries made up of children between the ages of 10 and 12.

Players across the country are selected to attend a training camp and qualifying game.

The hopefuls attend one training camp, are split in to two teams and at the end of the camp, face off against each other for the right to represent Canada at the tournament in September.

Dunrobin resident Ben Penticost, 12, was selected for the try out, played for the winning team and will represent Canada.

Ben got his start in soccer playing in West Carleton in U4 Timbits soccer. His current club team is Ottawa’s Futuro Soccer Academy where he plays U12.

Jake Davies/Metroland

Dunrobin's Ben Penticost, 12, works through drills with his club team the Futuro Soccer Academy on Aug. 1. Ben has been named to Canada's Danone Nations Cup team.

“I’ve been playing since I could walk,” Ben said, following a Futuro practice at Ottawa’s Adult High School on Aug. 1.

14 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 17, 2017

“His dad is from England, so soccer is pretty important,” mom Patricia Penticost added, smiling.

Ben competes in the East

Region Soccer League in U13, one age level up from his actual age. Soccer has already taken him all over the world, including Spain and England.

Ben is a natural athlete who loves to compete. He played organized hockey earlier but quit to focus on soccer.

“I’m a striker and I like to score goals,” he said. “I think I realized I was better at soccer than I was at hockey. But I’ll play any sport.”

And according to his mother, will turn any task or chore into a competition with his brothers.

Last May, Ben was invited to tryout and headed to Montreal.

“I thought it would be a good experience and a great opportunity to meet some new kids,” he said.

Twenty-four kids were selected from the tryout and attended a training camp from July 2 to July 6.

At the end of the camp, the coaches held a draft to divide the kids in to two teams. The coaches flipped a coin to see which team they would coach and the two teams competed for the right to represent Canada.

“I was mostly nervous leading up to the game,” Ben said.

“We each thought the other team was the better one. It was very stressful.”

The game took place July 6 at Pierre-Laporte Park in Boucherville, and Team Red defeated Team White in penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Ben will be heading to Montreal on Sept. 18 for a three-day training camp before heading to New York for the four-day Danone Nations Cup. “I’ve met a lot of new friends and we’ve become pretty close,” Ben said. “So, I’m looking forward to being in the same place with them and competing with them as a team. The best experience was probably following the shootout when we were running to congratulate our goalie. We surrounded him and went crazy.”

Patricia, who will attend the tournament with the rest of the family, says she had enjoyed the whole process so far.

“To see that amount of dedication, effort and heart at age 12, is just amazing,” she said.

Coalition releases study on minimum wage hike

A hike to the province’s minimum wage would cost $1,300 per household, the Keep Ontario Working Coalition said during a news conference on Aug. 14.

The figure comes from a report from the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA).

The proposed wage hike, which would see the minimum wage raised to $15 an hour, is part of Bill 148, Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act. “The changes presented in Bill 148 will have dramatic, unintended consequences that include putting close to 200,000 jobs at risk and seeing everyday, consumer goods and services increase by thousands of dollars for each family in Ontario,” Karl Baldauf, vice president of policy and government relations for the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and spokesperson for the coalition, wrote in a release.

“We’ve run the numbers and it’s clear this is too much, too soon. If the Ontario government chooses to proceed with these sweeping reforms too quickly, all of us will be affected, and the most vulnerable in our society chief among them,” he said.

The aim in commissioning CANCEA was to measure the potential impacts of six key areas of change in the bill — including changes to the minimum wage, equal pay provisions, scheduling, personal emergency leave and unionization.

Baldauf said the numbers show that 185,000 jobs will be at risk as a result of the changes. He added that it might encourage new technologies, such as self-serve checkouts, as businesses attempt to control costs.

The number of job losses was calculated based on expected behaviours of Ontario businesses, the report states.

Baldauf suggested the impact would be similar to that of the 2008 global recession.

The report suggests the changes will represent a $23-billion challenge to businesses, in just the first

two years.

Kevin Flynn, the minister of labour, said the government would look at the findings of the report, but that it was just one study in a long list of studies and literature.

“Bill 148 is about fairness. It’s about improving the lives of millions of Ontarians, while boosting the economy by increasing the buying power of almost 30 per cent of the population,” he wrote in a public statement. “This is why the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act is supported by more than 50 independent economists.”

Local businesses in the capital spoke out against the changes in May. “We are open to change that is evidence-based and we know that arbitrary changes will erode an already vulnerable economy in terms of business confidence,” Sueling Ching, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade said in a joint statement with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, the Orléans Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario chamber.

The Ontario Federation of Labour released a statement on Aug. 14, saying there were holes in the CANCEA findings’ logic.

The federation’s assertion is that the analysis fails to take into account the reduced demand on social services.

“The assertions released today by the corporate lobby is inaccurate, incomplete and just not responsible,” Chris Buckley, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, wrote in a statement.

“Every economist that we’ve consulted since the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act was announced points out that its measures will in fact strengthen Ontario’s economy,” said Buckley, adding many still say there is room for improvement in the legislation.

Flynn said the government has no plans to back down from the proposed legislation, but does recognize concerns coming from the business community.

“We’ve worked hard to make sure Ontario’s business climate is competitive, and we are committed to working with the business community to bring forward initiatives that will improve our competitiveness even more,” he said.

One Government Cash Grab After Another This spring the Ontario Legislature passed Bill 65, it is another example of Liberals digging deeper into the pockets of Ontarians. It amended the Highway Traffic Act and other acts to expand the power of municipalities to use photo radar in areas where the speed limit is below 80 km/h.

This may sound well and good, but we have had serious problems with this technology in the past. And the Liberals are ignoring two other factors. Firstly, cameras such as these have, in certain studies, been found to hamper not improve safety on roads. And secondly, as the OPP will tell you, speeding is not a major problem, distracted driving is what causes most accidents and deaths on Ontario roads.

This bill did nothing to address these issues, and that is why I am proud to say I was the only MPP to vote against Bill 65.

‘You can’t give back enough’ CHEO family lends a hand behind the counter for Miracle Treat Day

The Biggs family spent a few hours at a Kanata Dairy Queen for Miracle Treat Day on Aug. 10 in an effort to give back to the hospital that saved their youngest son’s life.

Ollie Biggs, who recently turned two, was born with liver cancer. Diagnosed while in utero, Ollie spent a lot of time at CHEO undergoing treatments. The hospital became the Carleton Place family’s second home.

“For his first five months I would say we were there more often than not,” said his mom Krista Biggs, adding Ollie had six rounds of chemotherapy, followed by surgery to remove the tumour from his liver.

“Every treatment we were in there for the entire treatment: 24 hours hydration, 24 hours chemotherapy. And then we stayed there for however many days later; a lot of times we were there for a week and then if ever he had a fever in between chemo treatments, we had to go straight back.”

But the doctors, nurses and staff helped make the difficult time a little easier.

“They’ve just been so special to us,” said Krista. “They obviously got him better and we’re now post treatment. But

they’ve done so much more than just the cancer treatment — they’ve taken care of our family as whole; made sure we were able to stay together and cope with it mentally and they were just great. We’ll do anything for them.”

Ollie is now 18 months post-treatment and has ultrasounds and blood work every three months to ensure everything remains clear.

He, along with his three siblings — Aurora, 3, Henrik, 5 and Benjamin, 6 — his mom and his father Luis, spent Thursday afternoon helping to make Blizzards while the lineup of customers spilled out the door at the Dairy Queen location on Hazeldean Road. Net proceeds from every Blizzard sold at participating Ottawa stores was donated to CHEO. Events like Miracle Treat Day are important because they help raise funds for the children’s hospital, spread awareness and remind the community “of what we have in our backyard that we sometimes take for granted,” said Krista.

“Don’t take this place for granted because when you do need it, you just, you can’t give back enough. You will never be able to give back enough once you’ve seen what they’ve done to save your child’s life.”

Bordeleau hangs up uniform for Pride parade

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Police officers will leave their uniforms at home for this year’s Ottawa Capital Pride parade.

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau released a statement on Aug. 14 saying after ongoing discussions with LGBTQ2 police members, community partners and a police liaison committee, police officers decided to not wear their uniforms during this year’s parade, planned for Aug. 27.

Instead, Bordeleau said, members will wear other Ottawa Police Services identified clothing.

“I fully support this decision and am proud of them for carefully considering how best to proceed in order to move forward together,” Bordeleau said. “The exclusion of the police uniform in Pride parades has become a national issue, and it seems to have divided the local LGBTQ2 communities and the wider community.

I know we can overcome this

issue by working together to have real conversations with each other at the local level.”

On June 30, Ottawa Capital Pride released a statement at the request of their LGBTQ2 youth, who, according to the organization, say uniformed police officers would not be welcome to attend Capital Pride activities off-duty.

In addition, other community members have asked for the event to remain inclusive — which includes police.

That being said, the organization had asked that police who do participate, do so in plain clothes.

“As an organization, Capital Pride supports the participation of individual LGBTQ2 police officers and their allies in this year’s festival,” the statement read. “ … However, it is of prime importance to us that everyone feels safe at Pride, particularly LGBTQ2 youth, and racialized and Indigenous community members. Accordingly, we respectfully request that participating officers reserve their uniforms

and vehicles for official work duties only this year.”

According to Capital Pride, this decision was made based on the feedback the organization received from consultations held with stakeholders and LGBTQ2 community members this year.

“During our consultation process and in ongoing conversations with stakeholders, we have been particularly mindful of events in the last year concerning police participation in Prides across the country,” the Capital Pride statement read.

“On the issue of police participation in the Capital Pride festival, community members have been passionate in their views.”

At the time, Ottawa police had already made a decision to not have a float in the parade, however, responding to the June 30 Capital Pride request, Bordeleau initially said it would be up to individual police officers, but that he intended to wear his uniform.

Bordeleau has now said he will also leave his uniform at

home, choosing to wear a police golf shirt instead.

It was after further discussions with the LGBTQ2 community, police members and allies that resulted in the chief’s change of heart.

Bordeleau added police members are proud of their uniforms, but connections with the community go beyond the uniform too.

“We have experience building bridges out of uniform in other activities — whether it’s with new immigrants, refugees and some youth activities like the Flotilla for Friendship,” he said.

Beer, food and music festival back for 2017

Introducing our physicians:

Hopped and Confused takes place Aug. 25 and 26

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

There’s a music, food and libations festival brewing for Aug. 25 and 26.

Hopped and Confused is back for 2017, featuring a Canadian musical lineup of the Trews, Tokyo Police Club, Yukon Blonde, Said The Whale, Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs, Dilly Dally, Ottawa’s the New Swears and Manotick’s Hollerado.

Mill Street Brewery and Dine Alone Records host it at the brew pub from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

“This is an amalgamation of what Canadians are best known for — great beer, world-class music and tasty eats. Put it all together and you have Hopped and Con-

fused,” said Roger McNaughton, vice-president of marketing at Mill Street Brewery, in a press release.

“The fact that we’re hosting it again in our country’s capital, the same year Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary makes it all more special.

We’re proud to have started something that exclusively celebrates Canadian beer and talent.”

The event is 19-plus, and tickets are $35.

The event also features more than 15 Mills Street brews, including unique casks and a brand new beer for festivalgoers to try, appropriately

called Hopped and Confused.

Even the beer is a little baffled.

Hops are typically known to create a bitter-tasting beer, but with some brewing magic, the milkshake cream ale is “aromatically dry-hopped but actually semisweet in flavour.”

On top of a menu created by chef Dave Isen of FAB concept, there will be traditional pub menu items, a poutine station, pulled meat station — of both pork and beef — as well as turkey legs.

Big-name acts in the cards as Capital Fair seeks partnership with Hard Rock

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The Capital Fair’s gates will soon swing open for its 19th year at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre, but a new partnership is already in the works, amid plans to rebrand and remodel the centre as Hard Rock Casino Ottawa.

“We’re excited,” said Harley Bloom, general manager of the Capital Fair.

“Hard Rock has a reputation for doing major events, and we’re pretty positive we’re going to be able to negotiate some large concerts that have alluded us so far because we’re not in-

terested in taking on the costs at this point,” he said.

While Hard Rock officials are currently focusing their efforts on their renovation plans, said Bloom, the hope is that a partnership can be formed for the 2018 edition of the fair.

“Early indications are there’s going to be a pretty good synergy there,” he said.

“We’re a community-based fair, and they understand the connection between their business and the community. The two go hand-in-hand.”

Meanwhile, organizers have plenty in store for this year’s fair, which will take over the grounds of the entertainment

centre from Aug. 18 to Aug. 27.

The midway — eastern Ontario’s largest — will feature about 30 rides and attractions.

Those wanting to get a head start on the fun can enjoy free rides courtesy of Osgoode Coun. George Darouze, whose ward includes the entertainment centre.

The freebie hour is on opening fair day, Aug. 18, from noon to 1 p.m.

Several new and returning attractions are in store.

For the first time, a new agriculture pavilion will have a 4H sheep show with prized lambs, sheep shearing, miniature horses, rare farm animal breeds, a

cooking demo, a twice-daily ‘breakfast any time’ demonstration, antique farm equipment, an English horse show, an observation beehive, raceway horses, a lawn tractor pull and blacksmith demos.

The Canadian Museum of Food and Agriculture will also be on hand to make ice cream.

As well, organizers of other fairs in the region — such as Russell’s — have been invited to set up displays to promote their events, and sell advance tickets and raffle tickets.

“Let’s face it, the fairs are always looking to improve themselves,” Bloom said. “And this is a chance for them to talk to a

The 19th edition of the Capital Fair will take over the grounds of the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre August 18 to 27. Gate admission is free, and free midway rides will be available on opening day, Aug. 18, from noon to 1 p.m. crowd they normally wouldn’t get to talk to.

“I know that people think there’s a bit of a competition going, but it’s usually friendly, if there is any at all,” he said. “We certainly believe that the fair industry has a lot to offer and the chance to promote it is something we really enjoy.”

backyard critters from Soper Creek are also a new feature.

The fair is orchestrated to offer multiple entertainment options for families and people of all ages, from young children to seniors.

“It’s nice and big and fat and juicy, and there’s lots of free stuff for people to do — and that’s the way we like it,” said Bloom.

The Capital Fair typically attracts people from as far away as Montreal, northern New York state, Peterborough and western Quebec.

Last year, more than 160,000 people came through the gates, representing a significant spike over 2015 when 125,000 people attended.

Attendance has been climbing steadily year after year.

“Free admission does that,” Bloom said of the free daily gate admission.

Ottawa police officer makes amends at Flotilla for Friendship

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The Ottawa police officer disciplined for racist comments against local Inuit artist Annie Pootoogook participated in this year’s Flotilla for Friendship, an event that aims to bring together police officers and Indigenous youth.

At the annual event on Aug. 9, Sgt. Chris Hrnchiar hopped in a canoe with Pootoogook’s biological daughter, Napachie, her cousin Ellie and their father Veldon Coburn, who adopted the two girls.

It was a step toward reconciliation with the community that was offended and disappointed by the officer’s comments, said the event’s organizer Lynda Kitchikeesic Juden.

“For me this was the best possible outcome. Something really negative has blossomed into something really positive,” she said of Hrnchiar’s attendance at the event.

“Honestly, that’s what the flotilla is all about; it’s about bringing unlikely groups together and finding a way to re-

At the front is Ellie, her biological cousin. pair a relationship if that’s what was needed or build one if there just isn’t one.”

She said it’s an example of what can be achieved.

“This means a lot to a lot of people who were affected. It means we can do this, Canadi-

ans and First Nations people can do this.”

Hrnchiar was demoted for three months because of the comments he made online after Pootoogook’s body was found on the shore of the Rideau River last fall. He pleaded guilty

to two counts of discreditable conduct.

He also had to undergo sensitivity training.

“I’m learning more and I’m trying to be a better person,”

Hrnchiar told Metro Ottawa at the event. “Just trying to pass that on to other people.”

After Hrnchiar made the offensive comments, he reached out to the police’s diversity and race relations unit.

According to its lead, Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, Hrnchiar attended several events to apologize to the community, get to know its history and he spoke with local elders to ask for forgiveness.

“Based on what happened last year and the hurtful comments that were made, there was a lot of healing that was needed to reconcile and this is all part of that journey and there was a lot of effort made by (Hrnchiar) and (Coburn) to go through this process,” Zackrias said.

“It’s a lesson for everybody to see that if we are willing to reconcile and build that relationship, it’s possible. We could all learn a lesson from them.

That’s why today’s event is a special one.”

Hrnchiar’s journey to forgiveness doesn’t end with the

flotilla, Zackrias said.

“He’s learning a lot about their journey and their history in Canada. A take-away from this is we could all learn a lesson from this whole experience and we should not judge others.”

Officers from five different services participated in the event, including members of the Ontario Provincial Police, Surete de Quebec, RCMP, Gatineau Police, Kitigan Zibi Police, Lac Simon, Awesasne Mohawk Police, MRC Des Collines and the Ottawa Police Services.

They partnered with youth from the Odawa Native Friendship Centre, Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, Minwaashin Lodge and the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre to paddle from Dow’s Lake down the canal to the locks near Parliament Hill, before portaging to the Ottawa River and finishing their day by canoeing down the Ottawa River to Victoria Island.

Can music help in studying?

Do you usually listen to music while you study? If so,

you’ll be pleased to learn that it’s actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. However, this doesn’t mean you should listen to whatever you want, whenever you want.

Most specialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental music for increased learning. Classical music is particularly effective at creating a study environment for tasks that involve logic, planning and critical thinking; Mozart’s famed piano concertos and Beethoven’s Für Elise, for instance, are excellent choices for revising mathematical equations. The same goes for the baroque sounds of Vivaldi or Pachelbel, which are also known to help students achieve the mindset needed for scientific thought. In contrast, when it’s time to express your artistic side, jazz and rock music might help get your creative juices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop music works like a charm.

Finally, if you’re feeling unmotivated or have a short attention span, take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. Some studies suggest that listening to music is beneficial for relaxation, learning and memory. But music is a subjective art whose effects aren’t universal.

For some, listening to the right genre of music while studying may improve concentration and lead to better grades.

Eating well, exercising often and getting enough sleep are healthy lifestyle habits that help youngsters achieve greater academic success.

Walking to school is great for exercise but must be safe Walking to and from school is an excellent way for your child to get their daily dose of exercise. But to ensure they arrive at their final destination safe and sound, it’s important they abide by certain safety rules at all times!

Start by identifying the safest route and locate danger zones — like railroads or busy streets — along the way.

Make sure the route follows school-approved walkways and intersections with a crossing guard on duty. Once established, travel the planned route with your child a few

times before school starts, emphasizing the following safety guidelines along the way: • Always walk on the sidewalk (or, in the absence of one, stick to the outside of the left lane, facing traffic).

• Cross the street at supervised intersections. If you arrive at a pedestrian crossing that doesn’t have a crossing guard on duty, always look to your left, then to

your right, and then to your left again before moving forward.

• Always adhere to the traffic signals and pedestrian lights.

• Don’t stray from the approved route or dilly-dally along the way.

• Never get into a stranger’s vehicle.

If possible, encourage your child to always walk with a friend — provided, of

course, that this friend also keeps safety in mind! Finally, prompt your child to leave early to avoid having to run (and risk getting hurt!) to make it to school on time. Does the thought of your child travelling alone make you nervous beyond belief ? Don’t hesitate to accompany them or meet them after school until you both feel more comfortable with the situation.

Daniel Jedzura

Identify the safest route to school and try it out several times with your child before letting them undertake the journey alone.

Too many activities is not good Parents always want the best for their children. But sometimes we do too much for them, such as enrolling them in too many extra-curricular activities. When we do that, we deprive them of the creativity that comes from free time and the relationship building that comes from just being together.

It’s normal to want children to nurture a passion outside the classroom, and to learn self-discipline and focus; those are all good reasons to sign them up for classes in riding, karate, or guitar. Getting them involved in more than a couple of activities per week, however, can become a source of tension and stress in the home. Beyond logistical and time demands, it can also seriously cut into relaxed family time and edge out creative play. It causes stress in children when their activities become oriented towards performance and achievement. It’s important to leave room for unstructured play that is unsupervised by adults. It might mean a shift of perspective for many, but “free” play is not a waste of time. On the contrary, it can help children learn to manage their time according to their own rules and to develop their creativity.

On the afternoons and evenings when no extracurricular sports or artistic activities are on the menu, family meals can regain their rightful place in the schedule. It is Jupiterimages the perfect time to gather, share the highlights of the day, and build the loving relationships that are so beneficial to A good balance between school, our children.

television show The Amazing Race Canada’s stop in Ottawa aired.

On The Amazing Race, pairs race through cities in Canada and the world, and complete local challenges. The last-place teams get eliminated one-byone until there’s one team left.

Team Adam and Andrea Cavaleri, a brother and sister from Montreal, started the episode with an advantage, having finished the last leg in Bangkok, Thailand, in first place.

Within the first few minutes of the show, Mayor Jim Watson got some screen time.

Racers had to make their way to city hall in order to get their first clue from the Mayor.

“Thanks, buddy!” screamed Collingwood’s Kenneth McAlpine, partnered with best friend Ryan LaChapelle, as they grabbed the clue from the mayor.

From there, they were off to Mooney’s Bay at Hog’s Back, where they had to organize a set of red and white SUVs into specific parking spots in order to spell Canada from an aerial view.

The second challenge took teams to Sandridge Road, to the RCMP stables, where racers had to complete a horse-riding challenge alongside officers.

“Riding around on one of their horses was a true honour,” said LaChapelle. He said it was “sick” that they actually got to ride around Ottawa on the horses.

The next detour — or challenge the teams had to compete — was a choice between Tiptoe Through the Tulips at Commissioners Park at the corner of Preston Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive, or an art scavenger hunt at the Canada Council Art Bank on St. Laurent Boulevard.

They had to replicate a floral display, or find 20 specific works of art to photograph and place into a binder from the massive collection at the art

bank.

All the teams decided to take on the Tiptoe Through the Tulips challenge, but the art bank got a moment on the show later as a punishment challenge.

From there, teams went to the Byward Market, for perhaps the most Canadian moment of the show.

Team members Karen and Bert were first to arrive and found the U-turn station, which would allow them to punish another one of the competing teams.

“I’m a bit nervous to U-turn anybody because it’s just not in my nature, said Edmonton’s Karen Richards, competing with her husband, Bert. “I feel that we should run our own race and not try to put others down.”

They moved on to the Canadian Museum of History clue without using the U-turn against any of the competitors. Later in the episode, the Cavaleris made the same decision.

The second team to arrive at the U-turn, Toronto couple Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopoulos, had the opposite reaction. They quickly threw up McAlpine and LaChapelle, commenting they’d been waiting episodes to do that.

At least LaChapelle got to see his brother, an Ottawa resident, who made a brief appearance running down the road in the market to wave at his family member, in what the team called “a sign from the heavens.”

They did a special Canada 150 challenge at the Canadian History Hall, writing a version of the Canadian Citizenship Test.

The Cavaleris won their second consecutive episode by racing up to the upper level of the museum, overlooking Parliament Hill.

Ottawa — plus racers Adam and Andrea Cavaleri — were the winners of the day, while Andrea Croxen and Ebonie Roberge finished in sixth and last place. They assumed Ottawa would be the last stop on the road for them, but the pair will get a redemption shot — it turned out, in a twist, Ottawa was a non-elimination leg.

Plenty of Ottawa 2017 events still to come Music, hockey, food and more still on tap

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

La Machine was a career highlight for the executive director of Ottawa 2017, but there’s still months of events left this year.

“We’re just halfway,” said Guy Laflamme after talking about the success of La Machine, which brought out about 750,000 people during the four-day street theatre performance.

His focus will now shift to what remains, including the illumination of Chaudiere Falls.

This month features YOWTTAWA, a music event with preceding tailgate party at Lansdowne on Aug. 21, and the sold out Canada’s Table on the 27th.

“Overall it seems that my crazy list of wild ideas are all paying off and working well,” Laflamme said.

That includes the Ottawa Welcomes the World events, also at Lansdowne. He said the events, which are a collaboration with embassies, have attracted more than 125,000 visitors.

“That’s more than double what we were originally anticipating,” Laflamme said.

Laflamme said there’s lots left for residents and visitors to experience, including Agri-150 events, Inspiration Village, which will be open in the ByWard Market until Sept. 4, and Kontinuum, open until Sept. 14.

THE

On Sept. 10, there's an attempt to break the Guinness Record for the world’s largest scavenger hunt.

This fall there’s the 105th Grey Cup and festival, and the Canadian Videogame Happening in November.

The year will round off with the NHL Classic at Lansdowne on Dec. 16, as the Ottawa Senators host the Montreal Canadiens in an outdoor game.

There’s also about a dozen ongoing community events this year, including a movie night at the Diefenbunker on Aug. 11 and 12, and Honeywell Homestead Days on Sept. 9. Harvest Moon will be held the same day at the Orléans park, with fireworks, garden and farming presentations, afternoon tea, a sunset dance, food trucks, yoga in the park and a kids zone.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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

Local artists design pieces for LRT stations Handful of artists hail from Ottawa

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Out of 154 artists who put their names forward to create artwork for the city’s new light rail transit stations, 59 artists or teams were from Ottawa.

The call for artists went out nationwide and those chosen are from Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Toronto, Kingston, and Chelsea and Wakefield in west Quebec.

Two of those picked for artwork that will be incorporated directly into the station designs are from Ottawa.

Those local artists are preparing their works for Bayview and Lees stations.

Amy Alice Thompson, who lives two blocks away from Pimisi station, will be working on the Lees station in the city’s east-end.

“I was interested in exploring public art when the call went out and knew it was something I would enjoy. I realized it was going to be very tough competition, so I worked extremely hard on my proposal,” Thompson said in an email.

“I work in collage and mixed media and wanted to create a multi-layered piece.

To do this, I am using a series of folded metal birds along the (multi-use pathway) wall as well as 90 metres of printed glass along the westbound platform.”

Her work is called Transparent Passage and will cost $295,000 to design, produce, fabricate and install.

Chinatown resident Adrian Gollner’s Bayview work, en-

titled As the Crow Flies, will cost $495,000. It’s a 120-metre line drawing made of steel rails that combines the rooflines of Mechanicsville, the Canadian War Museum and Supreme Court, a silhouette of the Gatineau Hills and the flight pattern of a crow.

The work will serve as an inter-track barrier along the full length of the station’s interior.

“I’ve done a number of public art commissions and it was a big opportunity,” Gollner said of creating the work for the largest of the LRT stations.

“At first I was thinking, ‘Wow I got one,’ and then I realized I got one of the biggest stations. It has bike routes, the O-Train — everything converges at Bayview — it’s a large facility.”

The approved design wasn’t Gollner’s first idea. It evolved after talking with the station’s engineers and designers. Every time something about the station changed, so did the art.

“It’s a big undertaking and to make work for what is really quite lovely architecture is always a treat and a challenge.”

In 1995, Gollner worked on a public art project for the Walkley Transitway station.

He said the Bayview pieces will be an important part of way-finding through the transit system.

“If you can imagine someone sort of nodding off at the end of the day on the bus or train, they need some sort of visual cue that they are at their place, and public art takes you

It makes you look around and see things somewhat differently and hopefully that’s what this is going to accomplish.”

Wakefield resident cj fleury will work on the LRT’s most easterly station, Blair.

“The works will give a unique sense to each spot, building identity,” she said.

Recently, the city unveiled the renderings of public art pieces that will appear in each of the Stage 1 stations. All of the transit line’s artwork will cost more than $7 million.

There will also be nonintegrated art pieces at some of the stations, like at Pimisi.

And there are a handful of Ottawa artists involved in those projects as well, according to the city.

The Pimisi station has a targeted mandate toward Algonquin Anishinabeg artists.

Nadia Myre, Kitigan Zibi Anishanabeg from Montreal, is working on three integrated pieces, an eight-foot eel, a sculpture of a basket and a glazed panel birch tree windscreen. But on top of that, several standalone pieces have

Five Ottawa community health service providers received cash injections from the province on Aug. 10.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the money — $454,000 in total — will pay for the upkeep of infrastructure and allow the organizations to concentrate on helping people in need.

“Usually, politicians like to talk about new things,” Naqvi said at the headquarters of Salus Ottawa on Scott Street. “We forget how important it is to maintain existing infrastructure.”

Naqvi said basic renovations to outside cladding, guardrails, boilers, and walkways may be covered by the grants from the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund.

“Agencies can then focus on providing services to the community,” he said.

The Ottawa health service providers receiving funds include: • $158,500 for Salus • $147,895 for Billy Buffet’s House of Welcome • $99,300 for the Carlington Community Health Centre • $40,000 for the Ottawa Hospital • $8,800 for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Ottawa-Vanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers spoke at the announcement, adding that 68 organizations across the province will receive funds from the provincial program, with the total spent at $7.3 million.

Lisa Ker, executive director of Salus, said her organization has 14 buildings in Ottawa, most of which provide supportive housing for people dealing with mental health issues.

“We hope to integrate our tenants and our buildings into the community seamlessly,” she said, adding that the funds from the province will help replace heating systems.

Ker said the money allows for advance planning and upkeep.

“This avoids emergency situations that can create havoc in people’s lives,” she said.

Public inquiry to examine Air Transat tarmac delays Airline, airport authority still not seeing eye to eye

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A public hearing will be held to investigate the tarmac delays involving two Air Transat planes at the Ottawa International Airport.

“This decision was made after a review of the airline response to the CTA’s order to explain those incidents,” the Canadian Transportation Agency announced Aug. 9.

Severe thunderstorms rerouted 20 planes to Ottawa on July 31. Two flying under the Air Transat banner sat on the tarmac for four to six hours after arriving from Brussels, Belgium and Rome.

Passengers on at least one spoke out on social media about the extended wait and the lack of air conditioning and water.

Jean-François Lemay, the airline’s president and chief executive, said there were a number of factors “beyond our control” and that “there were numerous parties involved in this matter whose actions had a direct impact on the management of the unfolding events.”

He is questioning why four diverted flights were redirected

to a remote section of the airport while others were allowed to remain on the taxiway and refuel first despite repeated requests from the Air Transat flight commanders for priority.

“Most, if not all of the aircraft that arrived at CYOW (the Ottawa airport) after our affected flights were refuelled and departed before our company’s stranded aircraft were literally left until the end to be serviced,” Lemay said in a letter to the investigating agency.

The airline was also not told by local authorized fuelers how long refuelling would take “so as to permit an informed decision on how to manage the situation,” he said.

Flight deck crews were “led to believe” the aircraft would be refuelled within 30 minutes, a message repeated several times, said Lemay, adding that crews on both planes requested refuelling during the wait. One commander made numerous “urgent” requests for fuelling because the plane was low on fuel.

“They were advised by the aircraft fuelers that this was not possible,” Lemay said, but noted that personnel witnessed a diverted Air Canada aircraft being refuelled nearby.

The air conditioning and ventilation system had to be shut down on board one plane because it was low on fuel.

As well, limited refreshments on board were prioritized for

The Canadian Transportation Agency has called a public hearing for the end of August in its investigation of the treatment of passengers on board two Air Transat flights diverted to the Ottawa International Airport on July 31. children and passengers with special needs, Lemay said, but passengers were frequently given updates on the situation, one of the complaints raised by passengers.

Deplaning passengers was not possible during the delay, he said, and air stairs were only provided to one Air Transat plane shortly before Ottawa emergency crews arrived in response to a passenger’s 911 call for medical help — about four hours into the delay.

Both planes were then refuelled and while one was able to leave, the second airplane experienced problems with onboard systems caused by the

fuel shortage, which led to more delays, said Lemay. $400 OFFERED AS A 'GESTURE OF GOOD FAITH'

In the days after the inquiry was announced, Air Transat contacted passengers who had travelled on its Brussels to Montreal flight to offer each of them $400 due to the lack of air conditioning on board the plane during the extended stopover in Ottawa.

“We are aware of the particularly difficult circumstances experienced by our passengers on board Flight TS157, deprived of air conditioning for

more than an hour,” Debbie Cabana, Air Transat marketing director of social media and public relations, said in an email to Metroland Media. “We have therefore offered a $400 monetary compensation as a gesture of good faith that shows our empathy.

“We extend our sincerest apologies for the unpleasantness they experienced during this unfortunate incident,” she said.

AIRPORT AUTHORITY SAYS AIRLINE HAD OPTIONS

The Ottawa International Airport Authority has countered the airline’s version of events, saying it offered its full support and assistance to Air Transat by way of the airline’s designated ground handler, as it did with the other planes.

“Many options were available to the airline at all times while the aircraft were on the apron, had they wished to deplane,” the authority said in a statement. “The airport had buses on standby on the airfield to shuttle passengers to the terminal and there were gates available for deplaning.”

Air Transat is a seasonal charter service provider from Ottawa, and therefore would have had ground-handling and refuelling

service arrangements in place, the authority said, noting it is not responsible for prioritizing refuelling operations.

“At no time did the Air Transat crew or its ground handler request fuelling assistance or a gate from the airport authority,” the authority said.

The public hearing is set for Aug. 30 and 31 in Ottawa.

Meanwhile, Jean-Michel Gagnon will serve as the inquiry officer, tasked with collecting information from the impacted parties and submitting a report

by Aug. 25.

“Should the CTA find that Air Transat did not properly apply the applicable terms and conditions set out in its international tariff, it could require Air Transat to pay compensation for any expenses incurred by passengers and order the carrier to take other corrective measures,” the Canadian Transportation Agency said.

“If the CTA further finds that those terms and conditions are not reasonable, it could require that they be amended.

“Broader questions regarding industry-wide rules around tarmac delays will be dealt with through public consultations on air passenger rights regulations, which are expected to begin following passage of the transportation modernization act currently before Parliament.”

The federal government’s proposed air passenger bill aims to strengthen consumer rights and set out minimum treatment standards as well as ensure air passengers can access enforceable compensation for poor treatment.

Air Transat said the incident offers important lessons in the challenges of imposing various obligations on airlines in similar situations without also requiring airports and service providers to provide timely critical infrastructure and operational ground support.

“Indeed, as we have clearly seen in this case, the tendency is to focus solely on the actions of the airline,” Lemay wrote.

“This must not be the basis for the informed legislation going forward.”

The Canadian Transportation Agency is requesting anyone involved or affected by the tarmac delays to contact Gagnon by emailing enqueteinquiry@otc-cta.gc.ca or calling 819-635-4108.

Westboro Fuse is back for the second time, Aug. 26 and 27 with a street festival that is putting its focus back on the businesses that make Westboro home.

“We’re really growing in the sense that last year was a great opener,” Mary Thorne, executive director of the Westboro Village BIA said of the festival that replaced Westfest on Richmond Road.

“People came, despite the weather and they enjoyed every moment, and that’s that's the impetus to move forward with it again.”

Two hundred businesses are involved in this year’s event, providing the backdrop and the entertainment for festivalgoers to shop, sip and sample what Westboro has to offer.

“I’m really excited about the member engagement,” said Thorne.

“It’s really exciting to see people coming together and working together to show all the fabulous things you can do, buy, see, taste and experience here in Westboro.”

The event will take place along Richmond Road, with closures between McRae and Churchill avenues and Roosevelt and Golden avenues.

It features a main stage with cooking competitions and demos, Fuseinspired menu items at local restaurants, an un-birthday party for kids, tot trot, kids zone, a South Beach Miami lounge with braid bar,

workshops, manicures, live mural painting, pancake breakfast, corn roast and pig roast.

There’s even holy hot yoga at All Saints Anglican/First United Church with donations going to the Westboro Food Bank.

The zip-lining is back for another go and there will also be a giant inflatable slide. The festival even has its own official cupcake – chocolate truffle and gelato.

“This is Westboro’s weekend, and it’s time to show off,” Thorne said.

After losing money last year, Fuse has a new producer.

Catherine Landry of Call Betty Marketing – creator of Ladies Who Lunch Ottawa – has taken over the festival and making Fuse local is her goal.

“I’m all about local,” said Landry after the lineup announcement at Wall Space Gallery on Aug. 10.

“Westboro is one of the leading areas in Ottawa that has so many locally owned, non-franchise, independent businesses, all eclectic and all amazing. That was one of my mandates when I came on board,” she said.

“I said we are going to get the food trucks out of here and the beer tents out of here and we are going to ignite and unite the merchants to create this epic street festival and we are pretty excited.”

Instead of food trucks and beer tents, local restaurants will bring their Fuse-inspired food and drinks out onto the sidewalks.

Earlier this year the BIA said the festival would come back, but in 2017 would exist during a smattering of weekends, instead of one concentrated festival.

“We thought we could do it, but at this point we’re re-evaluating,” BIA board chair Dan Hwang said, adding this is the only weekend event they are ready to announce.

Having the event later in the year – it was held in

Westboro Village BIA board chair Dan Hwang and executive director Mary Thorne were on hand for the Westboro Fuse lineup announcement on Aug. 10. The event is planned for Aug. 26 and 27.

June last year – has organizers hopeful the weather will co-operate.

“By moving our dates we want to hedge our bets and hopefully we will get better weather,” Thorne said.

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

My mortgage is up for renewal this summer. I will more than likely switch to a different lender. Would I need to use a lawyer to finalize my new mortgage?

While some banks and mortgage companies require that their clients retain a lawyer to finalize mortgage refinancing transactions, it is now very common that some lending institutions would either finalize it themselves or use mortgage processing companies. Nevertheless, most lenders would still give you an option of retaining your own lawyer to finalize the transaction.

Benefits of using a lawyer.

Your lawyer will help you to review and understand complex mortgage documents, such as the registered charge on title to your property, mortgage disclosure statement and standard mortgage terms, and will explain to you your rights and obligations under the mortgage.

They will make sure that your old mortgage is discharged from the title to your property. As a lawyer I regularly see mortgages registered on title that have been paid off many years ago, but

have never been discharged by the banks. They will also review with you the mortgage discharge statement to ensure that the payout amount to discharge your old mortgage is correct.

Finally, your lawyer will make sure that the terms on the mortgage registered on title are the same terms you have negotiated with your lender.

It is not uncommon that long after getting a mortgage some people discover that the amount of mortgage registered on title is a lot higher than the actual amount of the mortgage they received from the lender. This negatively affects their chance of getting a second mortgage or adding a secured line of credit from a different lender.
