Sidewalk scuttled in south Kanata Majority of residents on Chimo Drive oppose project

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jen Moore is worried it’s going to take a pedestrian getting hit by a vehicle for the city to install a sidewalk on her street.

Chimo Drive, a road in Katimavik with an elementary school, was to have one installed this year along most of the north side – where Moore lives – but the majority of homeowners in the area opposed the plan. “(The city) sent a letter saying we were getting a sidewalk coming and I was really happy because it’s so necessary,” said the mom of three.

“I didn’t give it another thought until we got another letter in the mail saying we weren’t

getting a sidewalk.”

Of the 28 affected homes that would see a sidewalk take up a portion of the city’s right-of-way at the foot of their front yards, 18 homeowners contacted Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s office to oppose it. Only three said they were in favour.

“I’m not going to build something to satisfy three people,” said the councillor in a phone interview. “I was not pro or against the sidewalk. I was going to do what the majority of them wanted.”

Moore’s eldest child Annaka, 12, walks to Katimavik Elementary School and delivers the Kourier-Standard to her neighbours.

“In summer it’s not really that bad because you can go onto the grass a few neighbours down.

But in winter, the snow piles up and you can either walk in the snow … (or) walk beside it,” on the road, she said.

‘It’s a dream come true’ Hein House set to open this fall

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hein House, Hospice Care Ottawa’s newest residential hospice, will officially open its doors this fall.

An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for Sept. 25, followed by the organization’s annual general meeting. Hein House, the residential wing of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata, will open to residents the following day.

“It’s a dream come true,” said Kristina Voth-Childs, communications co-ordinator for Hospice Care Ottawa. “I’m just so excited about it. It was a

long time coming.”

Four years in the making, Hein House will provide around-the-clock care for people in their last days and weeks of life. Two additional respite rooms will offer space for short-term care. All services offered by Hospice Care Ottawa are provided at no charge.

Currently, those requiring residential care have had to travel to either the Central

West Hospice — a temporary location opened as a stopgap measure until the Kanata hospice could be built — located in the Carlington community near the Experimental Farm, or the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South.

Central West will close on Sept. 18 in preparation for the move to Kanata.

“It will reduce the burden of travel for families who live in the west end,” said VothChilds. “When you’re facing the end-of-life journey, that’s one less thing you have to worry about.”

With warm tones, plenty of wood accents and access to the gardens, Hein House offers residents and their loved ones a more homelike environment than a hospital room.

“The (hospice) volunteers just go above and beyond, attending not only to the residents’ needs but the families as well,” said Voth-Childs. “It’s got a huge skylight, there’s high ceilings … It’s just bright and open and airy, yet still warm.”

The suites at Hein House have private washrooms, a television and sleeper sofas in each room, “so families can stay as much as they like,” said VothChilds. “There are no visiting hours — everyone can stay as long as they like with their loved one.”

Each room also has large doors leading to the gardens, wide enough to roll the beds out so residents can enjoy being outdoors. Other amenities at Hein House include quiet rooms, large fireplaces and a family kitchen.

“They can prepare the food their loved one wants,” said Voth-Childs. “They can treat it like their home.”

The initial timetable was to see it open in late 2016 and

then early 2017. Weather complications over the winter and spring delayed construction by a few months but everything is on track to open in September, said Voth-Childs.

“You see it all coming together,” she said. “We couldn’t have done it without the community — the generosity is just overwhelming.”

Hospice Care Ottawa receives no government funding for capital projects, and the government only provides 60 per cent of funding for programs and services.

Through the Hospice Ottawa West Campaign, the organization was able to raise the $6-million needed to renovate and build the Kanata site.

The hospice continues to raise funds through its Brick

by Brick campaign, which will help with the mortgage and programming, said VothChilds. Aside from its residential services, Hospice Care Ottawa provides day programs, caregiver support, in-home support, grief and bereavement services and volunteer training.

Chimo doesn’t meet city standards for collector road Katimavik Road.

But in May, the councillor sent another letter to homeowners telling them the project was off the table and only a small portion – between Katimavik Road and Amundsen Crescent where there are no homes – would get a sidewalk this year.

The rest would again be on hold until after 2020.

“I advised city staff that I would not support this project going forward and asked that they stop all design work and not install any sidewalk along the north side of Chimo Drive,” wrote the councillor.

“Based on the feedback received from you, only the small portion of the sidewalk is only going to be constructed.”

Continued from page 1

Moore said she’s seen plenty of fender-benders and near misses on Chimo, which has a bend on a hill and a stop sign that some drivers ignore. Flex stakes in the middle of the road, used to reduce speeds, cause drivers to crowd the side of the road.

“I think, at some point, a child is going to get hit and killed,” she said.

Pedestrian safety, she said, should trump losing a portion of driveway.

“It seems so selfish – and that’s the way that everything is now – it’s just about your one individual need. But you have to look at your community and your neighbours, the school down the road, the people that have to walk,” Moore said.

“It’s more than just being inconvenienced and losing 11 inches of your driveway. It doesn’t seem that that should win. I was kind of disgusted by the whole thing.”

DOESN’T MEET CITY STANDARDS

Chimo Drive is classified by the city as a collector road, yet has no sidewalk on either side.

According to the city’s web-

Annaka and her mom Jen Moore stop along a portion of Chimo Drive that was slated to get a sidewalk this year before the project was dropped. Both said the road can be dangerous for pedestrians.

site, “Collector roads require a sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. The requirement becomes increasingly important when the corridor is a public transit route, leads directly to public transit, fronts onto schools, parks, community facilities and/or leads directly to these amenities.”

The Katimavik transit corridor, Katimavik elementary school, as well as at least five parks, are all accessed from Chimo.

The road also leads directly to a number of other parks and the Kanata Leisure Centre.

City council originally approved a sidewalk for Chimo in the 2013 Ottawa Pedestrian Plan. Residents at the time opposed the sidewalk and it was put on hold until after 2020, when the plan would be reviewed.

The sidewalk was brought forward earlier than planned this year after the federal government committed funding for public transit infrastructure “to enhance pedestrian facilities connecting to transit,” said an email statement provided by the city to be attributed to Colin Simpson, acting manag-

Psychic’s

er of transportation planning.

The city sent the first letter to homeowners in April, informing them a sidewalk

would soon be installed on the north side of Chimo, from Katimavik Road to Anik Way and from McClure Crescent to

Pathway system ‘safest place’ for pedestrians: Hubley Continued from page 5

The federal infrastructure funds will be redirected to other sidewalk installations, including one on Kakulu Road, from Eagleson Road to Pickford Drive, and another in west Ottawa on Navaho Drive, from Agincourt Road to Tara Drive, said the email attributed to Simpson.

Funding for a sidewalk on Chimo remains in the pedestrian plan’s phase 2 budget forecast, the email said.

A GREAT SHAME

Andrew Hart, a 30-plus year resident of the street, said he was disappointed by the decision.

“This is at least the second time I’ve seen a proposal for the sidewalks and residents getting up in arms against it and getting it defeated, which is a great shame,” he said. “The safety issues are very, very important: we’re all getting older, it’s terrible in the winter on

Chimo. We get snow banks on both sides making the road four- to five-feet narrower.”

There have been two crashes where cars ended up on his property, both between 15 and 20 years ago, Hart said. Sidewalks with curbs could have helped mitigate the damage, he said.

In one case, a driver lost control on the turn and hit a maple tree in Hart’s front yard.

“If they hadn’t hit the tree they would have hit my house,” he said.

The other crash happened on a “very icy and rainy” Christmas Eve when another driver lost control on the hill and ended up halfway down his driveway.

“If I’d have had a proper sidewalk with a curb, I don’t suspect he’d have gone into my driveway,” Hart said.

He said pedestrians should be wary when walking on Chimo in harsh weather conditions.

“Winter is the worst time of all,” Hart said.

“I think everybody should care if they worry about the safety of, first of all children, and then senior citizens, because the seniors are less agile in getting out of the way of (a) vehicle coming towards them.”

Hubley acknowledged in his letter that pedestrian safety

“The feedback from the majority of residents was that they did not want that sidewalk there because they have a pathway,” said Hubley. “They saw this as a waste of tax dollars, duplicating the pathway. You can actually see the pathway from the street. It’s very close.”

“Safety is most important, and not the wishes of a few homeowners.”

ANDREW HART, RESIDENT

is an issue and people should instead be using the pathway system that runs near Cattail Creek Park.

“Safety concerns are still very real for pedestrians along Chimo Drive,” he wrote.

“Please continue to encourage others to use the pathway network and we will work with you to try to address the speeding along Chimo with you.”

The pathway is a big reason many residents opposed the sidewalk.

The paths also offer safer walking conditions, particularly in inclement weather, said the councillor.

“When the roads are slippery, for example, cars can slide up on the sidewalks,” he said. “It’s not the safest place to have people walk, certainly not like the pathway. The pathway is as safe as it gets.”

Kevin Wylie, the city’s general manager of public works and environmental service, said in an email the pathway

“I’m very confident in the consultation that we did here,” he said. “It was very educational walking down the street.”

Moore started her own petition online, which has collected 85 signatures to date.

However, Hubley said petitions submitted to the city have to follow strict guidelines.

“I caution against the use of petitions, unless you’re going to do it in conjunction with (the councillor's office),” he said. “The easiest way is to deal directly with your elected official and let your views be known.”

Moore is hoping the residents who were against the sidewalk will change their minds.

“If people understood the safety reasons why we need this sidewalk, I can’t see them not being willing to give up 11 inches of their driveway,” she said. “Maybe if they called and un-petitioned themselves, maybe we could make a change.”

system is plowed in the winter to the same standards as sidewalks.

“The paths behind the houses on Chimo Drive are maintained throughout the winter and would be maintained to the same timing and standards as a proposed sidewalk on Chimo Drive,” he said. “The timing of the maintenance would depend on the timing of the snow fall.”

Hart said the pathway system is “about 50 per cent longer” than walking on the road.

“Yes, there are places where people can walk otherwise, but they’re not the best option,” he said. “Safety is most important, and not the wishes of a few homeowners.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Canada should focus on its issues

T

he events in Charlottesville, Va., where a clash between white nationalists and counter-protesters turned violent and deadly, have exposed the racial divisions that still exist in the United States.

That such racism is still percolating in the United States is depressing, especially after the country elected its first black president in Barack Obama, seemingly closing in on the end of such racism. Then, along came Donald Trump and suddenly racism has blossomed again in that society.

Racism seems so Neanderthal-like when it happens. But sometimes there is no rationale for human behaviour.

For instance, there’s lots of evidence of the health dangers from smoking. Yet people smoke. There’s much scientific evidence of the adverse impact of climate change on the world. And yet some continue to deny its existence.

And yet, why does racism continue to hold such sway over us humans?

Before we Canadians get on some high horse on this matter, let us not forget our attitude toward Jews in pre-war decades, our treatment of Japanese Canadians in the Second World War,

and, most depressingly, our residential schools’ history and our treatment of Indigenous peoples in general. We are far from innocent on this human rights/racism file.

We view ourselves as a nation that values equality and fair treatment of all. But while these attitudes can be legislated and preached, the challenge remains to wipe racism from the thoughts and actions of our society.

The United States, as the events in Charlottesville show, has not eliminated racism in that society. And we in Canada, given our current ineffective grappling with our Indigenous legacy, find ourselves in a similar scenario.

Let the States worry about its situation. Hopefully, its racism will be eliminated someday. But for us, we should resolve our Indigenous quandary. Politicians continue to talk about the issue but we need action and we need it now. Let’s get it resolved so that we can all go forward together as a true society that not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to fairness and equality and universal respect for one and all.

We have seen in Charlottesville what happens when racism and bigotry are allowed to fester. That’s not the route that we as Canadians should travel.

Not everyone pays attention to calorie counts

A

few weeks ago, my son and I bused to TD Place to sit on the hill overlooking the east side of the stadium.

The Redblacks started out in fine form. We were on a picnic blanket, had a mini can of cola each and a large bag of No Name chips. It was set to be a good and cheap night.

At the end of the first quarter, the skies opened. We were forced to take cover at a local eatery, where we could watch the next hours of the game on a big screen a block from the stadium itself.

I had already eaten supper, but I knew we’d be there for a while. I started perusing the menu.

Every item — from salad to hamburgers — was over 500 calories. Most entree items were 1,000 calories or more.

I settled for a 340-calorie fish taco, and started to wonder how

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse anyone can eat out in good conscience anymore.

In January, Ontario introduced new legislation requiring chain restaurants of a certain size to list calorie counts on menus.

The legislation has had its critics who say it’s expensive for proprietors and is unlikely to have much of an impact in the so-called war against obesity.

In the U.S., where calorie-listing on menus has existed among various states since 2008, one independent

study found that while the information may not have an immediate impact, they do become a consideration over time.

The Washington-based authors interviewed more than 3,000 people who frequented a local restaurant chain between 2008 and 2010.

They published their findings in the American Journal of Public Health in 2014, noting that “the proportion [of diners] who saw and used calorie information tripled [in those early years], from 8.1 per cent to 24.8 per cent.”

But who’s actually reading the information?

The reality is that calorie counts are more likely to have an impact on those who are already health conscious.

The American study above, found those most likely to examine and make decisions based on calorie amounts were affluent, white men and those who qualified as obese.

On the flip side, however, there is preliminary evidence in the U.S. that some restaurant chains have been affected by the exposure.

Some chains that were forced by local and state governments early on to list calories on menus have actually found ways to reduce the number of calories per serving.

Some chains in Ontario are already using the calorie counts in their marketing campaigns — black coffee, for example, has zero calories per serving.

What a great choice!

Calorie counts alone aren’t enough to force people toward healthier decisions.

But it is important for us, as a society, to have information at-hand to help us make good choices.

The fish taco was a satisfying choice and left some room for a half pint of ale on the side. Overall, a great night out — light on the pocket book and the waistline.

Police warn of fake road test website Data collected ‘considered very valuable’ JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A fraudulent website that claims it takes the hassle out of booking drive tests in Ontario is collecting people’s most valuable data, warn Ottawa police.

Police said they’ve received several complaints from unsuspecting motorists who tried to book a road test online using the fake website www.bookyourroadtest.com.

“This website may appear to be legitimate at first glance and shows up on top of a Google search for ‘road test,’” police said in a news release issued

Aug. 18. “The data collected via the fraudulent website is considered very valuable.”

The bogus website asks users to input their credit card and driver’s licence numbers, as well as their address, date of birth and phone number, which can then be used for identity theft, said police.

People looking to book their road test online should verify they are using the official Ontario Drive Test website, said police.

The website, licensed by the provincial government, can be found at drivetest.ca.

Committee approves Brigil density request this site is an appropriate spot.

When it came to the committee decision, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri were the only dissenting votes.

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH AND JESSICA CUNHA jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com jessica.cunha@metroland.com

An application to lift the density cap for a Kanata Lakes development was approved at the city’s planning committee on Aug. 22 despite objections from members of the community and Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

The councillor, who attended the meeting to support her residents, is not a member of planning committee and has no vote.

Janie Poirier, a resident of the adjacent Richardson Ridge community, said the development isn’t what she bought into.

“We were sold a greener, less dense development,” she said.

The property owner – Brigil Construction – wants to build an additional 79-unit condominium building at 124 Battersea Cres., near Kanata Avenue and Richardson Side Road.

Shannon Wang, who also lives in the abutting community, said it was difficult to inform and mobilize residents because

NOT GOOD NEWS

Brigil/Elevations

A conceptual drawing shows the side of Brigil’s proposed 79-unit condo in Kanata. it’s a fairly new neighbourhood.

A petition circulated did garner 240 signatures, she said.

“The only two people who didn’t sign were renters and they said they flat out didn’t care,” she told the committee.

The site has two three-story 12- and 16-unit buildings, a community building and a 79unit building currently under construction. The original application was for eight buildings with a mix of 12 and 16 units.

Wilkinson said the newest rendition proposed “looks like a barracks.”

Murray Chown of Novatech Engineering Consultants said the original plan was a result of

a lack of infrastructure.

An analysis on the upgrades to a nearby pumping station – which deals with sanitary sewer water in the area – and its capacity “confirmed that the system can accommodate an increase in density beyond the 100 units/hectare without impacting other development in the area,” according to the report submitted to committee.

But Wilkinson said there’s not enough social and road infrastructure to handle 186 units.

She said there’s little to no transit and the pathway on the property is hard to travel and connects to marshlands.

Anne Froehlich, a planning

consultant for Novatech, said there’s “some transit” in the area – and the proximity to Kanata Avenue can handle the increase in population.

Wilkinson said Kanata North has seen its fair share of densification, and doesn’t think

At a meeting with residents on Aug. 17, Wilkinson said council would likely approve lifting the density cap.

“Very rarely does council ever overturn a planning committee decision,” said Wilkinson.

“What happens on Tuesday is likely going to stick.”

A handful of residents met with Wilkinson.

They said they were under

the impression that eight threestorey buildings with 12 to 16 units would be built when they bought property in the area.

“It’s a far cry from having 12 units that you’re facing to having 50 units,” said Susan White, whose backyard is kitty-corner to the proposed apartment building.

If the zoning request is approved by council, people who have made oral or written comments can appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, but Wilkinson cautioned residents.

“If the committee approves it and staff approve it, the chance of winning at the board are very, very slim,” said Wilkinson.

“It’s not good news, I know, but I wanted people to know.”

Council will vote on the subdivision application on Sept.

Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club this month.

“I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored

championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition.

be a little sibling rivalry, I guess but we’re best friends and we get along really well.”

Do they ever have any spats?

“Not really, no. I think we may be the unusual sisters,” she said with a laugh. “There’s going to be some disagreements at some point but we work through them really well.”

In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago.

Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes.

“But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” she said.

HOMETOWN PRIDE It was just about a year ago when the Town of Smiths Falls opened its arms to welcome the Henderson sisters home after competing in the summer Olympics at Rio

Coming home to the big welcome was “so special,” Brooke said. “I just glanced over there, and seeing the amount of people there already … it’s really cool for both of us.”

On her super jam-packed LPGA 2016 season, Brooke said it was “definitely busy” but they enjoyed Laurie Weir/Metroland Brooke and Brittany Henderson wave to the crowd during their home- the travelling and “seeing a ton of new places.” coming Sept. 9, 2016 in Centennial Park, Smiths Falls. during her break-out year on the about her first year on the tour.

Kevin Haime identifies good viewing spots

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Ottawa golf pro Kevin Haime says the average golfer can learn a lot by watching LPGA golfers in the CP Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. And he should know as Kevin is one of Canada’s leading golf instructors.

In 2000 Kevin received the Canadian PGA’s National teacher of the Year Award, the top recognition for golf instructors in Canada.

He notes that higher handicap golfers frequently swing off balance. This does not happen with the LPGA pros whom he says are very disciplined swingers of the club who always stay in balance.

While PGA pros swing relying on power and velocity, the LPGA ladies’ game is based on rhythm and balance. He says that there’s a lot to be learned by watching how these LPGA pros hit the golf ball with great rhythm and with such ease.

As to where to watch these LPGA pros during the CP Women’s Open, he advises picking a favourite golfer or two and follow them for a whole round one day and then on another day pick out a couple of viewing spots on the course and stay there, watching the golfers as they play through. He says that there are a couple of nice vistas at the Ottawa Hunt that are good viewing spots.

One is behind the par-three eighth green.

From there, a spectator can also watch drives and approaches on the par-four seventh hole and also see the shots on the short par-three 17th hole as well.

Another good viewing spot is behind the

HENDERSON

From page 4

When asked about how she’s keeping her life balanced, she said it was one of the biggest adjustments she’s made so far, but it sure was nice to sleep in her own bed this week. It was just her fourth time home this year.

15th tee where a spectator can not only see the players play that hole but also can see the approach shots to the par-five ninth and 18th holes.

Haime describes the Ottawa Hunt as a target golf course or, as he says, “a second shot golf course.” While the greens are not small, there are small landing areas within the greens and so the golfers who are hitting their irons well and can control the spin on their approach shots will score well.

He says that the Ottawa Hunt will not be an overly intimating course for these LPGA pros and will provide a lot of birdie opportunities for them. He predicts that these lady golfers are going to impress golf fans with their scoring, saying the winning score could be 20 under par.

But he acknowledges that as happens with every tour level event, weather and pin positions can really affect scoring.

“No matter what, though, I’m expecting a few really low rounds,” Haime says. “The course just isn’t long enough to stop all the world’s best women golfers.”

Haime acknowledges that the big story of the week will be the play of Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls who is one of the top golfers on today’s LPGA tour.

“I’m expecting a pretty exciting week for Brooke,” he says, calling her a special athlete who responds well to pressure, something that will be needed as he says that things will be kind of crazy around her at the tournament, with huge crowds no doubt following her on the course.

Haime recommends attending the

tournament for any golf fans. Indeed, he himself will be there on site as he is doing radio reports from the Hunt on the Thursday and Friday of the tournament. This is not an unfamiliar role for him as he has hosted a live call-in radio show “Tee It Up” on TSN 1200 radio for 20 years, providing golf instruction and covering golf news.

Haime, who attended the University of Illinois on a golf scholarship in the 1980’s, has been instructing golf for 26 years now. In 2007 the PGA of Canada recognized him for his outstanding contribution to the game of golf.

He operates the Kevin Haime Golf Centre and the Kevin Haime Golf School at 560 Hazeldean Road adjacent to the Carp River between Kanata and Stittsville.

The 2017 CP Women’s Open will be played at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club during the week of Aug. 21 to Aug. 27. This will be the third time that this championship tournament will be hosted at the Ottawa Hunt, with the tournament held there previously in 1994 and 2008.

The Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club has hosted a number of notable championships during its 107 year history including the 1994 Du Maurier Ltd. Classic, the 2008 Canadian Women’s Open, the 1932 Canadian Open and three Canadian Amateur Championships in 1937, 1960 and 1970.

The course was originally crafted by renowned golf architect Willie Park and was redesigned in 2013-2014 by international golf course designer Dr. Michael Hurdzan.

“It’s a huge balance and that’s something I really learned about this year is time management, and still focus on what’s important,” she said. “At the end of the day, if I don’t golf well then nothing else matters. I’m still trying to give my fans, and my sponsors as much attention as I can and still try to focus on my game and move that world ranking up from number three a little

bit closer to the top.”

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow presented the girls with the Canadian flag on which hundreds of residents signed messages of well wishes to be sent to the Olympic Games in Rio. “Unfortunately, the flag got hung up at customs in Rio and never made it,” Pankow said as he unraveled the flag, which made its way back

Grinning from ear to ear, Brooke unraveled it and wrapped it around her shoulders, while the young crowd gathered at the front of the staged chanted ‘MVP’.

“You’re our Olympian,” the mayor said to a huge ovation.

CONNECT. Meeting new people, creating rapport, building trust relationships, asking for support and looking for ways to support others; this is the definition of connecting. When you are consistently connecting you are exposed to new ideas, information and opportunities.

You can learn from others, share best practices and create energy and excitement for your business and your community. Networking is not a one time activity. The true payoff comes from creating a habit of connecting, being open and positive about the value of others.

PROTECT YOUR PRIMARY ASSET. And that asset is YOU! What insurance policy or process do you have in place if something happens to you? Now ask, how well do you take care of yourself. Traditionally, business owners live in their business and that is understandable because there is a lot at stake. However, the biggest risk is not being able to support your business at all. To be anything less than your best physically, mentally and emotionally will result in opportunity costs and draw out or eliminate your ultimate success. Create a healthy living plan that will support your business and life goals including nutrition, exercise, sleep and managing stress. Schedule it in as you would any important client meeting or event. This strategy falls into the important vs. urgent category and will pay off big for your business.

GO FOR IT! Your mindset is one of the big 3 pillars for your success (along with habits and skills).

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. Cultivate a mindset that is condusive to your success.

Your mind is the same as your body, it is only as healthy as what you put in it. Your mind is most open to influence early in the morning and late at night so those are great times to schedule in reading, podcasts and other training. By the same token, protect your mind when you get up and when you go to bed. Eliminate those things that are not productive including negativity, judgement and lack of ownership. Be selective about the company you keep. Remember, you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. This story emphasizes the power of your mind.

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life . . .”A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfdoubt, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

Ottawa police chief hangs up uniform for Pride parade

Education Series Reserve the Dates & Plan to Attend!

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.

Bordeleau will wear a police golf-shirt Continued from page 27

“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, which 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 has 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.

The provincial order that prompted a joint memo from Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Diane Deans has never been applied for more than one long-term care home under the same licensee, a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care spokesperson said.

The order, a result of a string of events that included abuse and covered up injuries, called for improved safety at three of the four city-run long-term care facilities and a risk assessment at the fourth.

“Referrals to the director are an important tool in ensuring licensee compliance with the LTCHA (Long-Term Care Homes Act) and are not uncommon,” a statement from the ministry provided to Metroland Media reads, adding this case is the first time the province has issued the order for more than one home operated by the same licensee.

The memo released by Deans, who chairs the community and protective services committee – which is responsible for the oversight of the four long-term care homes – promised to improve safety and host public consultations.

“The City of Ottawa stands firm on its commitment to delivering care and services in a healthy and safe environment for all its residents,” a statement from Janice Burelle, the general manager for community and social services reads.

“To that end we have drafted work plans to be validated with stakeholders,” she said.

According to the inspection report, from the Garry J. Armstrong home, a personal support worker said while placing a resident in bed one evening in December 2016, he removed his lap belt and restraints and left the resident alone.

When he returned, he found the resident on the floor; the fall caused facial injuries, which were not reported to nursing staff.

Another incident at the home, which is on Island Lodge Road, included a patient with dementia getting punched in the face by another personal support worker. That was the fourth time since 2015 the city was found to be in non-compliance with the section of the long-term care act regarding abuse and neglect at Garry J Armstrong.

Burelle said the PSWs in question are no longer working with the city.

Among the recommendations included in the order by Karen Simpson, director, Long-Term Care Inspections Branch, were supervision of non-regulated staff such as support workers by registered nursing staff.

Coalition releases impact study on minimum wage hike

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

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 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 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 selfserve 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 govern-

ment 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 busi-

ness 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.

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

Q: I want to become an entrepreneur and start a business. Should I incorporate now, or start as a sole proprietorship and delay incorporation to a later date?

The advisability of incorporation is dependent on the particular facts and personal preferences of the entrepreneur. The role of the lawyer and other professional advisors is to help draw out the relevant facts and explore personal preferences to assist the entrepreneur in making the decision that is right for her. Some of the relevant factors include: Risk. Is the proposed business inherently risky? The shield of limited liability that an incorporated entity provides to the entrepreneur is an important benefit (note that the shield from liability may not be absolute); Tax. A valuable attribute of an incorporated entity is the relatively low tax rate (approx. 16%) payable on the first $500,000 of net income. This allows a profitable incorporated entity to grow much quicker using internally generated working capital than a similarly situated sole proprietorship where the marginal tax rates of the owner are payable. An exception is where the sole proprietor has other sources of income and it is anticipated that the new

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

business will suffer losses in the start-up year(s) – it may be possible to set off the losses against the other income and thus reduce the overall tax burden; Costs. Incorporation of the business before it is up and running is less expensive than incorporation of an existing business. Once the business (sole proprietorship) is up and running it is generally necessary to use a “rollover” transaction to transfer the business from the sole proprietorship to the corporation to avoid an additional level of taxation.

Separate Existence. An incorporated entity has a legal existence separate and apart from the entrepreneur. This provides for a number of real and perceived benefits including (generally): broader alternatives for raising capital; easier salability of the business and possible availability of lifetime capital gains exemption to avoid tax on sale, continuous existence past the life of the entrepreneur, public perception of greater substance, and easier separation of personal and business dealings.

Archaeologists uncover new foundation at Pinhey’s Point

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

A new piece of history was uncovered at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site.

Archaeologists spent the Aug. 18-20 weekend digging at the cityowned heritage manor and ruins and their hard work paid off — they uncovered a foundation wall, which is believed to be for a stable once constructed on the property near Dunrobin.

The wall was in pristine condition, said lead archeologist and Pinhey’s Point Foundation board member Ian Badgley.

‘More research needs to be done, but this is a good start.’

“More research needs to be done, but this is a good start,” Badgley said, adding that the organization had an idea something like a stable’s foundation was there, but had no idea how well it would be preserved.

The dig was organized by Pinhey’s Point Foundation as an annual event to celebrate Archaeology Month in Ottawa.

The purpose of the dig for Badgley, an archeologist with the National Capital Commission as well as a research professor with Carleton University, was to not only to have a better idea of what was lying under the surface but also to educate the public on the importance of archeology.

The dig was open to the public for wannabe archaeologists to help dig, but Badgley said not many helpers came out.

Although throughout the weekend Badgley said there were a number of visitors who stopped by to ask questions, which he said is part of the goal, but overall he would have liked to see more volunteers come out. “This story is evolving and we like it when people come out to learn about it,� Badgley said.

Aside from the stable wall, the group also uncovered a number of artifacts; nails, bits

More digs coming this fall Continued from page 34

“These pieces are part of the whole story,” Davidson said.

The dig originally started because of an existing crumbling wall to the left of where the stable foundation was found. Badgley said in order to understand what lay beneath the crumbling wall, they needed to see what was nearby. Finding what they believe to be the stable’s foundation wall was a happy surprise.

“It means it will take longer to get to the wall, maybe in the future we will get around to the wall — we have to eventually,” Badgley said.

During Aug. 20 digging day, the group had a special visitor — Juanita Snelgrove, a descendant of the historic Pinhey family to see how the dig

was going.

Snelgrove, who recently turned 101 years old, observed some of the artifacts that were found and even checked out the remains of the stable’s foundation.

Badgley and Davidson said having Snelgrove to fact check the artifacts they have found, or other aspects of Pinhey’s Point history is essential to their work.

In order to find out more about the ruins, Badgley said he would like to host another public dig in the fall to further excavate the area and learn more about the stable and foundation.

No plans have been made yet, but Badgley encouraged residents to check out the foundation’s website for event listings about a potential dig at pinheyspoint.ca.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 24, 2017 35

Bryan Murray

By Scott Campbell Bryan Murray is my uncle. I sat down to interview him at his summer cottage - found just outside of Ladysmith, Quebec - on August 1. Looking back, it is an honour to have done it.

I thank Uncle Bryan, Aunt Geri, cousins Heide, Emma and Addie (the three were visiting at the time), for allowing me this snapshot of time.

Bryan Murray has a lifetime of hockey memories making for many stories that could fill plenty of pages.

The Washington Capitals hired the Shawville native as head coach in 1981, marking the start of a career in the NHL, which spans five teams. Since those early games, he’s seen the game of hockey change dramatically.

“First of all, the toughness in the game is not what it was,” he said. “I think the rule changes with the red line gone and the tag-up rule, and things like that make the game appear faster. It is faster. I think the skill level of the kids today is better overall, and that goes along with being faster. The game is changed, and probably for the most part has changed for the better.”

SHAWVILLE KID

Murray’s story begins in the small Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, Quebec. Bryan is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray, a brother to Laird, Barrie, Darleen, Terry, Bill, Laurie, Lorraine, Karen and Kim. Clarence built the Murray home on King Street in Shawville in the late 1940s. He did most of the work on his own. Until Rhoda’s passing in 2013, it remained in the family.

The Murray clan didn’t live in the house right away. Clarence needed the rent money so everybody moved out to the farm outside of Shawville in Yarm.

“I think we were all glad to get back at Shawville at some point,” said Murray. “But I think when we went through that life on the farm there were a lot of great memories of that too.”

“I don’t know how mom and dad did it, honestly. We had the benefit of good guidance and parents that made sure we had enough. We never had too much, but we always had enough. They expected discipline and decent behaviour.

I think it shows that we’ve all grown up to be pretty reasonable people. When you look back on it, so many great memories and so much fun, I think the closeness of most of us in the family is because of it.

“It was a full house, no question. Mom somehow, some ability, whether we were out playing hockey, or out playing baseball, or just coming home from school, she had a meal on the table.”

For kids growing up in Shawville, a lot of them chose hockey and baseball to play. Murray played a lot of baseball – senior level to the Upper Ottawa Valley League. The home games actually took place on the fairgrounds, not at the R.A field like now.

Teams from Quyon, Campbell’s Bay, Vinton, Fort Coulonge, Sheenboro, Otter Lake, Pembroke, Petawawa and Chalk River provided the competition.

There was a lot of hockey too. Murray was skilled enough to play with the seniors when he was 14 or 15 years old. He played against Royce Richardson and others who were twice his age.

36 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 24, 2017

“It wasn’t hard to fall in love with hockey. Like a lot of guys around here, I was pretty good at it. Everybody played hockey and that was our outlet,” said Murray.

He even drew the attention of one of the NHL expansion teams, the Philadelphia Flyers.

“I was playing senior hockey for Shawville in Smiths Falls one night. They watched me before they told me … I scored six goals in the game, which I did a few times in college. They called me the next day and offered me to go to their farm team. I said OK … $20,000. They said Gordie Howe makes $20,000, you can’t make $20,000. That’s what the salaries were.”

PONTIAC HOUSE

Before the call of the NHL came, Murray was a school teacher. When Pontiac Protestant High School first opened, in his eyes, it felt like 600 kids were walking the halls.

He helped open Murray’s sporting goods store with brother, Bill. (Bill and his family ran the business for over 40 years.) They built a new building and brother, Barrie, moved in.

Murray also bought Pontiac House in 1979. “I went to talk to the owner and the price was right.” Sister Darleen and her husband at the time and Murray’s wife Geri joined in running the business.

They sold a pint of beer and a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents and a quart of beer for * 55 cents. It was a time when the tavern catered exclusively to men.

Murray remembers Saturday nights and some Fridays in Shawville when all the farmers came into town and people could hardly find a parking spot on the street.

“We didn’t rent rooms at the Pontiac House, but we had food, alcohol and bands on the weekend. The place was packed. There was a beautiful dining room and lounge. We had family come in and help us in the kitchen like Lorraine and mom. They helped us a lot.

Friday night and Saturdays there would be 100 men in the tavern.”

Pontiac House eventually succumbed to a fire and Hursty’s restaurant now resides in the location.

Murray coached teams such as the Rockland Nationals and Pembroke Lumber Kings during this businessman period. Then he received an offer from the Western Hockey League Regina Pats to coach there. He told his wife, Geri, he wanted to go out west for one year to say he did it. Regina won the championship, paving the way for his career in the NHL. What if the Washington Capitals had never called?

“I probably would have been a businessman in Shawville and maybe taught a little longer,” said Murray. “I would have been a Shawville guy, I think at that stage. I would have been involved in hockey but I don’t think I would have been running out of town a lot. That’s life, you never know.”

“I thought I was a good coach, thought I could make part of a living from coaching.”

“I don’t get tired talking about home.”

- Bryan Murray

LIFE IN THE NHL

how he treats people and is he a good guy, does he have a chance to be a committed hockey player? I think you evaluate all of that, but I think the bottom line is you try to draft good players and talent. You have to draft certain types and it takes a lot of work and good scouts. If you get three out of seven players to play pro hockey for you, you had a good year.”

General manager David Poile was hired during Murray’s second season, and he made some trades that stimulated fan interest.

Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Mark Borowiecki, Chris Wideman, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are a few - not all - of the notable draft picks made by Murray with the Senators.

Washington was a struggling team when Murray stepped in as head coach. The team had not made the playoffs in eight years. He stayed behind the bench with the Capitals for seven full seasons and earned the Jack Adams Trophy in 1984, as NHL coach of the year.

“It gave the players a sense that we were trying to get better,” said Murray. “We had some great runs like in Game 7 against the Islanders and Pat Lafontaine scored. There’s Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Dale Hunter scored for us. Fan interest was quite high at that time and it got better. It’s (now a) good hockey hotbed.”

The Game 7 against the Islanders is known as the ‘Easter Epic’ in NHL history. The match took four overtime periods to decide and finished in the early hours of Easter Sunday.

In 1988, the Capitals were down 3-1 in the playoff series and managed to fight back to force a Game 7 against Philadelphia. The contest went into overtime before Hunter tallied the winner for Washington.

Murray next headed to the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn’t smooth sailing, as it was evident on his arrival that the team faced player issues.

“I got the chance to go in and help fix that. We had some runs in Detroit. I was only there for four years, but we had a lot of kids, and we knew we were going (to) be really good.”

Next up was the Florida Panthers, which managed a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in their third year. Murray helped craft the team for that unexpected run. He remained in Florida until 2000 and then moved on to Anaheim.

“In Anaheim, we went from a nothing organization where nobody cared, to drafting (players) really well,” he said. “Tim (Murray) was a big part of that. We drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. We went to the Stanley Cup Final (in 2003) when I hired (former Wing, now Leaf coach) Mike Babcock. We went to Game 7 against New Jersey and lost in New Jersey.”

Murray arrived in Ottawa in 2004, but missed an entire season because of the lockout.

Murray is still the only modern Senators coach who took the team to a Stanley Cup Final.

That 2007 run, he considers a major highlight.

The 2016-2017 season was also a memorable one for the Ottawa Senators and Murray.

There was plenty of excitement and surprises that didn’t end until the Game 7 double overtime loss to the eventual repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the eastern final.

“Obviously, starting off we weren’t predicted to be a contending hockey team,” said Murray. “But I thought as the year went on we got better. There were a lot of tough games and then making the playoffs and the excitement of winning a couple (of) rounds.

The opportunity with Game 7 to move on to the Stanley Cup final, has to be marked as a very good season.”

As a general manager, Murray has kickstarted a lot of players’ careers by drafting them.

“There have been some surprises and some real disappointments. I think you try to find out is the character of the person. What he behaves like in school, around his parents,

HOME

The old Shawville arena was owned by Ebert Richardson for a period of time. The building, which no longer exists, became known as Richardson’s Rink. Once in a while, a gang would sneak in through the windows for the chance to play indoor hockey.

“It was a smaller ice surface,” said Murray. “What that meant was that you had to have skill, you had to be able to control the puck. When I coached - when Boston had the Boston Garden - players had to have the skill because they had to take short passes and quick plays, because people were all over you. You had no room to operate. I always thought the games were better because of that.

“Richardson’s Rink was natural ice, small dressing rooms, and a furnace in the rooms to keep you warm and that was it. There was no Zamboni then; most of the time (it was flooded) by a hose.

“But Shawville was a great place to grow up,” he said. “Mom cared so much about everything that went on in the family. Dad was in Ottawa working; he probably wasn’t involved early in our life as he could be because of work.”

Murray always found time in his off-season to return to summer at the cottage with wife Geri and daughters Heide and Brittany. Son-in-law Don and granddaughters Emma and Addie have spent time there, along with many family and friends.

Forty-six years ago, Murray bought the land for $1,800.

“People thought I was crazy,” he said. “I’m glad I did it. There was no electricity and no water. We had this big pine tree. We put the drum up in the pine tree, had a motor with a hose. I would go down to start the motor. Geri would wait [until it] started to flood over and I would turn the motor off. That way we would flush toilets. Then we had coal oil lamps and that’s how we started. We were like that for four, five years and then we added power and we grew from that.”

Murray’s NHL career took him away from the Shawville area for most the year. In the beginning, teams even travelled on commercial airlines. They flew along with everybody else. Now, it’s a world of difference with teams having their own planes and first class service. The biggest change of all is they can come and go, whenever they want.

Yet, no matter how much hockey business there was to do and how far he roamed, Shawville and the Pontiac never seemed to be too far from Murray’s mind.

“I don’t get tired talking about home.”

Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road.

The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits.

The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017.

The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08.

As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared by the proponent, the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program.

During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the project studies and consultation information will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion.

Consultation Interested persons are invited to review the work completed to date during the planning phase including a study summary, previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council, which are available on the Stage 2 website.

Clowning around during the Shriners Parade on Wellington Street on Aug. 19 were clowns Lugnut and BowWow of Kora Klowns from Lewiston, Maine, U.S. The two clowns were in Ottawa for the Tunis Shriners 2017 Northeast Shrine Field Days Convention. The parade saw a number of clowns, mini-motorcycles and mini-car units taking over Ottawa’s downtown streets to the delight of the large crowd who gathered to watch the show.

Parents should talk about bullying SPECIAL

Are your children aware that bullying comes in many different forms? Would they know what to do if they crossed paths with a bully? And what about you, the parent — would you be able to recognize that your child is being wronged?

In a 2014 UNICEF report entitled Hidden in Plain Sight, more than one out of three Canadian students between the ages of 13 and 15 reported having been bullied at least once in the past few months. What’s more, nearly 40 per cent Submitted of Canadians aged 11 to 15 admitted to A palm inscription “Stop” says what should be the engaging in intimidating behaviour toward approach to bullying - just stop doing it. other students.

that the majority of victims never ask for help, preferring to remain silent instead.

Unfortunately, despite the growing number of awareness campaigns, it seems that bullying remains something of a taboo.

As a parent, regardless of whether or not you believe he or she is being pressured at school, take the time to test your child’s knowledge on the subject.

Together, consult relevant websites and flyers that touch on bullying, and explain to your child how to identify inappropriate behaviours related to discrimination, harassment, homophobia and physical or verbal abuse. Most importantly, encourage your son or daughter to seek support if

ever they witness or personally experience bullying in any shape or form.

Is your child more distant than usual?

Do you suspect they might be experiencing difficulties at school? Get to the root of the problem by asking specific questions: Are you afraid? Sad? Angry? If your child refuses to open up, persevere and show your support by encouraging them to seek help if necessary.

Unfortunately, there’s no magic spell that can prevent bullying 100 per cent of the time. But one thing’s for sure: the only way to rise above bullying is by shedding light on its existence. The ball is now in your court!

Balancing school and work SPECIAL

Many students hold a part-time job while they’re in school.

But is this is a good thing, or is it too much to handle? It seems the former is true. In fact, teens that work during their studies generally benefit from several advantages that their unemployed peers don’t share, such as financial independence, job experience and heightened responsibility.

Nonetheless, maintaining a healthy work-school balance requires a hefty dose of discipline and lots of organization.

The best option for students is to find a job with flexible hours that will allow them to adjust their work schedule according to their course load, and not the other way around.

Students must always prioritize their studies and focus on their primary goal of getting a diploma. That being said, Andrey Popov photo a prospective part-timer should always A student working in a retail shop takes inventory, marking down the supply of items on a clipboard. advise employers of their availabilities Flexible hours are the best option for students who work while going to school. during the initial interview and turn

down any request to compromise.

In other words, sacrificing a class or postponing schoolwork in favour of an employer’s needs should be out of the question. If your employer fails to understand or respect your responsibilities as a student, it’s in your best interest to apply elsewhere.

So, how many hours should a student work per week? A good rule of thumb is no more than 15 if enrolled in full-time studies; otherwise students risk falling behind in school, or worse, abandoning their program altogether.

All students that wish to achieve optimal work-school balance must also keep their psychological wellbeing in mind.

For example, a healthy diet, plenty of sleep, regular exercise, an active social life and some well-deserved downtime are all essential for striking the right balance between school and work.

Full-time students should devote no more than 15 hours a week to paid work.

Kindergarten is important step in a child’s educational journey SPECIAL

Is your child about to start kindergarten? It’s a milestone event that stays engraved in one’s memory for years to come (if not a lifetime).

In fact, many adults still clearly remember their very first day of school and the mishmash of emotions that came along with this new beginning. Here are a few valuable pieces of advice to help your tiny one prepare: • Always stay positive and enthusiastic when talking to your child about starting school, and don’t forget to express how proud you are that they’ll soon be among the “big kid” ranks.

• Explain how a normal school day unfolds (recess, lunchtime, after school supervision, transportation, etc.) and assure your loved one that there will always be an adult present to help.

• Encourage your child to share how they’re feeling faced with this new beginning. Are they nervous? Scared? Ease their mind by letting them Submitted know that what they’re feeling is completely A youngster is all set for kindergarten, with a backpack and lots of school supplies. normal and that other kids are just as anxious.

• To help your child get accustomed to their changed schedule, initiate their new routine (going to bed early, waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast, etc.) seven to 10 days before the start of school.

• Dedicate an area of your home where your child can proudly display their drawings, crafts and other school projects.

• The evening before the start of school, help your child prepare their clothes, backpack and lunchbox for the following day.

• Most importantly, don’t forget to take memorable pictures to immortalize the big day when it finally arrives!

Many schools organize fun activities for children entering kindergarten (classroom and schoolyard visits, meetings with teachers, etc.) to facilitate the transition. By participating in these activities with your child, you can help them get accustomed to their novel environment and soothe their anxieties about starting this new chapter in their life.

A perfect study spot for students SPECIAL

The kitchen or dining room is often an ideal homework area for younger kids. It provides ample space to spread out notes and textbooks while allowing you to remain close by to make sure things stay on track. Simply eliminating all nearby sources of distraction — like the television — does the trick! However, it’s a different story once your little ones grow out of grade school.

Teenagers no longer need — or want! — strict parental supervision while doing their homework and would much rather study in more private quarters like their room. The bedroom can be a perfectly acceptable homework area, as long as your teen has access to a well-organized

workspace (neither the floor nor the bed will do).

A sturdy desk, a comfortable chair and enough storage space for books and school supplies are all you need to create ideal study conditions.

If your teen’s bedroom is on the smaller side, consider buying a desk that can be folded down against the wall or adding a few shelves to the dresser for storing books. Furthermore, ample lighting is essential for an efficient workspace.

This includes natural light streaming in from the bedroom window as well as a desk lamp, ideally placed on the opposite side of your child’s writing hand. Think ergonomics!

Finally, let your kids personalize their homework space with fun accessories.

FLOOR PLAN August 2017

Hard to believe but we’re now into the back half of summer, 2017. Perhaps you’ve been putting off your search for that dream home but with fall just around the corner, you’ve decided it’s time to ramp things up again.

There are so many factors to consider in what can seem like a confusing selection process, but we’re here to bring a little clarity to the situation. Welcome to another edition of Floor Plan 2017, a supplement in your Metroland Media community newspaper.

There are so many questions to answer: would you like to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe out in the country? Of course there are the financial considerations, how much are you willing and able to spend?

What type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace, a bungalow, or maybe even a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Or perhaps you’re leaning more toward a condominium in the heart of the nation’s capital?

We are fortunate here in Ottawa to be home to some of this country’s top home builders. This brings a level of comfort to prospective homeowners, whether starting on a search for the first time or looking to upgrade on what they have now. Floor Plan 2017 continues to present you with key information from some of the city’s finest builders, the wide array of services they offer, as well as additional information to assist you in your new home purchasing venture.

And be sure to look for more ideas in our next Floor Plan supplement on Thursday, September 21.

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, August 24, 2017

GROWING TRENDS IN TODAY’S HOMES Outdoor entertaining areas are popular among homeowners, and firepits are one of the most sought after additions to such spaces.

In fact, a 2016 survey from the landscape architects found that fireplaces and firepits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Various styles are available to homeowners who want to add firepits to their backyards, and choosing the right type may come down to budget, the amount of yard space available or even personal preference.

• Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

• Gas firepit: Gas firepits are touted for their convenience, as they don’t require homeowners to carry wood and build fires. Upon being connected to a gas source, gas firepits provide fire at the click of a switch. Gas firepits are also appreciated for their safety, as there is little or no risk that flames from gas firepits will grow too large and become difficult to control.

• Gas fire tables: Gas fire tables might be ideal for those homeowners whose sense of

decor favors more modern looks. Gas fire tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes and, like gas firepits, there’s no need to struggle with lighting a fire or carrying firewood.

• Tabletop firepits: Homeowners, condominium or apartment dwellers with limited backyard space may want to consider the convenience of tabletop firepits.

Restaurants may use tabletop firepits in their outdoor seating areas because they provide warmth and ambiance without taking up much

space. Tabletop firepits fueled by gas will not need to be connected to a gas source, which may appeal to consumers who want something that’s simple as well as small.

• Fire urns: While they might not technically qualify as firepits, fire urns provide a similar effect as firepits. Fire urns are typically gaspowered and may be an ideal choice for homeowners who are looking for a unique, aweinspiring feature for their outdoor entertaining areas.

WHAT IS A SMART HOME?

Refrigerators that inform their owners when it’s time to buy more eggs and thermostats that learn homeowners heating and cooling preferences may have once seemed like futuristic ideas straight out of a sci-fi movie.

However, such products are no longer a dream but a reality.

The term “smart home” refers to a residence that has appliances, HVAC, lighting, entertainment systems, security, and many more devices that communicate with one another. Such devices can be controlled remotely, according to SmartHomeUSA, an automation product retailer. Proponents of smart home technology say features can help people save money on utilities and conserve natural resources, all the while providing peace of mind to homeowners.

In 2016, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide. That marks a 64 percent increase from 2015, according to the research data firm IHS Markit. The smart home trend is only expected to grow in coming years.

Although there’s interest in smart home technology, the industry remains fragmented.

Consumers are trying to figure out which

devices are simply fun and which provide practical benefits. Furthermore, the range of smart devices is expanding rapidly, making potential compatability issues a concern. Companies that plan to educate consumers further about the advantages of smart home features and are open to standardization may have the best chances of survival.

Those interested in dabbling in some smart home technology and testing the waters may want to start with the following household items.

• Smart bulbs: Manufacturers offer various types of smart light bulbs. Some are colorchanging, others react to doorbells or alarms, and others can simulate typical lighting patterns when homeowners are away. Integrated apps enable remote access to scheduling so people can arrive home to a well-lit house.

• Home security: Wi-Fi enabled doorbells with

video capabilities allow residents to see who is at the door without having to open it. Cameras can even be accessed remotely, simulating that someone is at home at all times. Never wonder if you’ve locked the door again with smart locks that can be engaged via a smartphone. Make sure that homes are secured or that pets are behaving while out with smart cameras.

• Flood sensor: Get peace of mind against damaging floods with Wi-Fi flood sensors.

• Appliances: A new breed of smart appliances can make it possible for users to turn on the washing machine while out of the house, close refrigerator doors from afar or even start their vacuum cleaners remotely.

Smart technology is taking over and is likely to continue changing the way people live and work.

Ottawans back blind Djibouti activist’s plight

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

The Labour Minister is Insulting Business Owners The Premier has promised to help out business that are going to be hurting under the new minimum wage regulations, but a letter from the Labour minister makes me think this won’t be the case.

Jackie Fraser owns a small grocery store and wrote the government to tell them that her business is going to struggle with this massive 30% wage hike.

In the response to Jackie, the department assured her that in their belief “decent, law-abiding Ontario businesses” will adjust to this sudden change relatively easily.

So it would seem that the government is either, not listening to the numerous small and medium sized business that have expressed grave concerns about what this will do to their businesses, or they believe that any business that has trouble coping with a 30% hike to operating costs is simply not “decent” or “law abiding.”

If the Premier is serious about her expressed desire to help out these businesses she needs to be straightforward with what that plan is. Otherwise it looks like the government believes what some of the extremists on this issue believe, namely that any business that somehow can’t cope with a 30% hike in costs, have a bad business model and do not deserve to survive.

Liban Moustapha Hassan is guided to a dining room chair where he sits, gingerly touching the full plate, feeling for his food.

He clutches the noodles with his fingers and eats with more and more gusto as he finds his rhythm.

His friends and supporters watch protectively over Hassan, whose eyes were gouged out in a vicious attack in his adopted home of Brussels, Belgium last November.

“It’s not safe anymore for him,” said Hassan’s host Zeinab Ismael, who recently welcomed the 33-year-old activist to stay at her Heron Park apartment for the next few weeks.

“Maybe in the future he can come to Canada for safety issues, for humanitarian reasons.”

Though Hassan is safely ensconced at Ismael’s home, she said her friend and fellow activist will be in danger when it is time for him to return to Belgium.

Five of six male suspects are still wanted by police there for the attack on Hassan in which he was beaten for hours and his eyes were pulled out, leaving him blind.

He was left in the snow that night for four hours before a passerby found him and called for help.

Just four days earlier, Hassan had joined a new youth opposition party to advocate for civil rights in his home country of the Republic of Djibouti, a former French colony located on the Horn of Africa and bordered by

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Liban Moustapha Hassan has found support and safety in a fellow activist’s home in Heron Park thousands of miles from his adopted home of Belgium, where he was blinded in an attack last November that he said was meant to quash his opposition of the government of his home country of Djibouti, located on the Horn of Africa.

Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.

“I was just criticizing in order to improve or to work together,” Hassan said, speaking in Somali to Faisal Jama, executive director of the Somali Canadian Youth Centre, located in the Heatherington and Fairlea community. “But they misunderstand me and that is why they think I am against them and they came against me.”

The target on his back was years in the making.

“We are fighting against a dictator and we were not expecting to

be attacked by another opposition party that was seeking, (like) us, democracy,” Ismael said, translating. “It’s heartbreaking because they are doing the same thing that the dictator is doing. Just because of a difference of opinion you become blind.”

Hassan’s opposition to Djibouti’s government drove him to become an early member of a youth opposition party in his homeland in 2011.

He became a prolific speaker against the government on You-

Tube and Facebook, so much so that those in power took notice and police were dispatched to his workplace in early 2015. Hassan was detained for two days and then taken to the courthouse where he was threatened with a decade of imprisonment if he did not halt his activism.

After the threat was delivered, Hassan was freed. But he was subsequently fired from his job as a paramedic.

See HASSAN, page 51

Hassan shares his experience in Ottawa Continued from page 50

Afraid for his life, he applied for asylum in Belgium and two months later in March 2015 he left his parents and nine siblings for safety.

“The first time was just a warning.

Second time, they torture you like hell,” Jama said.

Still, it came as a surprise when trouble greeted him at the door of his apartment in Belgium.

The night of the attack, his apartment buzzer sounded and a familiar voice called for him to come down.

While the caller was considered a friend and a member of another Djibouti youth opposition party, which Hassan had recently left, the man was not alone. Hassan was jumped by six men.

“We seek justice for what’s happened to Liban,” said Ismael.

She is one of a growing number of residents in the National Capital Region, where Hassan also has cousins, who are trying to fundraise for the Djibouti activist. Hassan has also been visiting different groups in the Ottawa area, including the Ottawa Islamic School, to share his experience and spread a message of unity.

His supporters have helped fundraise to offset the cost of expensive glasses that, through partial sight restoration

technology, allow him to distinguish shapes. Hassan travelled to Boston last month for the tech. His friends also hope to bring international attention to his case to encourage the Belgian wheels of justice to work faster so his attackers will soon be arrested.

While Ismael said their plan includes approaching Ottawa-area politicians about Hassan’s plight, Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said neither he nor his office have been approached yet about the case.

Regardless, McGuinty said he would have to keep any details about such a file confidential. “As a general rule when somebody is a citizen or resident of a democratically elected country like Belgium, who is a signatory to the 1952 international convention on refugees, normally these matters are matters that would be dealt with by Belgian democratically elected authorities,” he told Metroland Media. “This is a matter that appears to be a Belgian legal matter.”

Meanwhile, Hassan’s Ottawa supporters are picking up where Hassan left off.

While his own voice of opposition has grown quieter following the devastating attack, there was a time when Hassan could not ignore the plight of others and felt compelled to speak out

regardless of the danger.

As a paramedic in Djibouti, he provided medical care to those injured by Djibouti government forces during civil rights marches, and he said he became more and more outraged at the injustice, lack of freedom and corruption.

“Sometimes in peaceful demonstrations, they come and shoot them,” Jama translated. “Sometimes I bring kids, pregnant women who are injured, and I transported them to the hospital. Every day when I see somebody is bleeding or hurt, I think that I will one day be in (their) place,” Hassan said.

He has paid a steep price, but regret is not part of the equation.

“Nothing comes easy. A risk-taker can change all things,” Hassan told Jama, who is from Somalia and can relate to Hassan’s plight.

Jama said he is helping plan local efforts to provide Hassan with assistance and support “as a humanitarian.

It’s between death and life. This could happen to me, it could happen to everybody.”

“They took his life from him,” said Jama.

“They took the most important part of his life. If you don’t see, you are in a darkness, so that is why we, as a community, are ready — whatever we can do or extend any kind of help for him.”

PCs to reform municipal liability system

Flawed system leaves cities on the hook for high damage Member of Parliament settlements: Brown Kanata-Carleton

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Community Events

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

The summer offers a lot of opportunities to get out and spend time with the community. I was able to attend some events recently around Kanata-Carleton, including the CBBCA Family Fun Day, Kanata Farmers’ Market, and the 18th Annual Garlic Festival. Family Fun Day in Constance Bay had a tasty BBQ, games for the whole family, prizes, and more. The Kanata Farmers’ Market always offers a variety of fresh produce and is a great way to support local farmers. The Garlic Festival, hosted on the Carp Fairgrounds, offered tastings, cooking and braiding demonstrations, and decorations.

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Festival of India The opening ceremony for the Festival of India was an introduction to the incredible music, dance, food, and workshops that were offered throughout the weekend. I had the opportunity to speak on behalf of the Prime Minister with MP Anita Vandenbeld at the ceremony and enjoy some of the many activities. Thank you to the hardworking organizing team and volunteers for this great presentation of Indian culture.

Canadian Peacekeepers Association I was honoured to be the Government representative at the Canadian Association of UN Peacekeeper’s Day ceremony and to deliver remarks, paying my respects to Peacekeepers and the critical importance of their role. I had the opportunity to sign a book of remembrance and spoke to the members in attendance. It is important to reflect on the dedication that the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces display overseas in UN, NATO, and other multinational task forces. Their sacrifices and those of their families will not be forgotten.

Based on the current laws, municipalities can be on the hook for massive damage settlements and it's time something be done about it, said Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown.

Brown and the other provincial party leaders spoke at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa on Aug. 15.

Brown said the province’s joint system leaves municipalities unfairly on the hook for damages.

The way the law is currently set up, one defendant who is only partially at fault — it could be as little as one per cent — can be responsible for 100 per cent of the damages if the other parties can’t pay.

Brown said this results in spiralling insurance premiums for cities, as well as a chill on city-run activities that represent a risk.

Metroland file photo

Based on the current laws, municipalities can be on the hook for massive damage settlements and its time something be done about it, says PC leader Patrick Brown said.

One example is tobogganing.

In Orangeville, sledding is forbidden at the municipallyowned hill due to risk of a lawsuit.

An AMO study that looked at liability premiums cities pay between 2007 and 2011 saw an increase of more than 22 per cent.

The organization has called for a reform of the system, a press release from the conserva-

Canada Pakistan Association The Canada Pakistan Association recently hosted a picnic to celebrate Pakistan Day. There were fun games for kids, a quiz competition with prizes, a live cricket match, and a BBQ for everyone. It was great to share in the festivities and to learn more about the Pakistani community in the Ottawa region.

reforms.

Reforms will result in lower insurance premiums, Brown said.

“The next election will be about who will make it easier for Ontario families to pay less and get ahead,” Brown said. “ … An Ontario PC government will reform joint and several liability. We will make life more affordable for taxpayers and municipalities.”

Missing seniors network provides link to get info out

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A Kanata-based firm that specializes in care for seniors, is working to make sure their families are prepared for the

worst-case scenario.

Margot Beak, who works as a business development manager for Home Instead Senior Care, said the missing senior network helps to get information out quickly in the

event a senior with dementia or Alzheimer’s wanders off.

Home Instead Senior Care provides non-medical services like cleaning and companionship for seniors who want to stay in their homes.

Barns, Farms & Wicked Chefs Enjoy delicious food created by talented chefs in the rustic elegance of a heritage farm.

The missing-seniors link is free and connects to a pre-approved list of contacts as soon as the trigger is pulled on the website, Beak said. The site then sends alerts through the account holder's email, Facebook and Twitter.

It also sends out alerts through the local chapter of the Alzheimer's Society, to help take advantage of their network and get word out to as many people as possible, quickly.

At a police services board meeting earlier this summer,

Coun. Tim Tierney floated the idea of a kind of Amber Alert for seniors. Something similar is done in many U.S. cities and helps to get the information out quickly.

“Just like when children go missing, time is crucial,” Beak said. “The longer the senior is missing, the more likely they’ll become hurt.”

Setting up an account is a few simple clicks and you can load a number of contacts who will receive an alert, so they can get out and search.

Beak said a 93-year-old

relative suffers from dementia, and having the system gives her some peace of mind.

Beak said the service could be made available to police or retirement homes, to share important information such as medical condition and possible search areas to help find missing people more quickly.

“Alzheimer’s Society will send out the info to members in the affected areas, as well,” Beak said.

House hopping when relatives came to visit

M

other never seemed to be concerned about the number of people who would descend on our farm to spend the weekend. Goodness knows there wasn’t much sleeping room, with only four beds in the whole house to put down the seven of us in our own family!

It wasn’t unusual for three or four carloads of relations to arrive at the same time, and Mother greeted them with open arms, and as suitcase after suitcase was unloaded, you didn’t have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know they planned on staying overnight! This onslaught of visitors usually came when Mother’s brother, Uncle Lou, was arriving from New York. Father would say it was like someone had sent out a carrier pigeon with the news to our relatives in Montreal, Ottawa, and sometimes even as far away as St. Catharines, that

MARY COOK Memories Uncle Lou was coming, and that was all it took.

Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Lil, Uncle Dick, and my cousin Richard would be the first to arrive from Ottawa, and always they brought dinner rolls, a store-bought cake from the bakery and bags of oranges and bananas. Aunt Vanetta, who I thought was the picture of the Queen, came wearing a fancy hat, and it never left her head, except when she sat down for a meal.

As aunts, uncles and cousins arrived I would wonder where everyone was going to sleep. But that seemed to

be the least of Mother’s worries. We younger ones would be bedded down crossways in a bed. Sometimes as many as five or six of us, and of course, Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny got Mother and Father’s bed, being the most senior of the visitors.

Meals were served right from the stove, everyone loading his or her plate, and heading for a chair either inside, or out in the grape arbour. And the old Findlay Oval fair jumped all weekend, with the oven full of roasts or chickens, and with potatoes and vegetables cooked in the preserving kettles instead of the pots we usually used.

Once the supper meal was cleared away, the real festivities began. Mother, Grandfather and Mother’s brothers, sang at the top of their lungs, and to me it sounded just like a choir coming off the movie screen I once saw in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. And as the evening wore on, they were spurred on

I dreaded when it was time for them to pack up their cars and head out. They wouldn’t go empty-handed.

The back seats in the cars would be filled with trussed-up chickens, meat from the smoke house, potatoes and vegetables from the garden, and Father would make sure that each car went out the lane with a bottle of his homemade brew. The tents would be down, and long after they were gone, I could hear voices in my head.

It took a few days to put the house back in order, and all that was left to remind us of their visit, were a couple bananas and an orange. But best of all, Mother would be humming and full of joy, and for those few days, her longing for her beloved New York would be forgotten.

by the tumblers of homemade brew Father brought up from the cellar.

Where they came from, I had no idea, but sometime during the early evening, my brother Everett would go outside with the older cousins, and put up two large tents. There were no cots or beds inside, but feather covers and quilts would be used for mattresses, and sometime during the night, the overflow would wander out, find a spot to lie down, and settle in for a few hours sleep. The next day, the party would start all over again.

To me, having car loads of relatives come for a weekend, was even better than a trip into the Renfrew fair! On Sunday, of course, Aunt Vanetta would insist on being driven into Renfrew for mass.

And again, the music and singing would start. I would find a place to sit where I could watch my mother, her brothers and Grandpa with their voices raised in song, and I would think we were the luckiest family in the entire world. Such talent, I would think.

Coalition to host summit on transportation equity Seminar could pave way for open dialogue with planners: organizers

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

A transportation equity summit could pave the way for an open dialogue with the city’s planning and design managers, said Trevor Haché, a spokesperson for the Healthy Transportation Coalition.

The summit — the second of its kind in the capital — was developed over the last year as a partnership between the coalition and EnviroCentre.

It will be an all-day event at city hall on Sept.

22, for a cost of $30, but Haché said thanks to a 2014 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, organizers can offer a subsidy for a third of the spots.

“There’s the capacity for 150 people and, of that, 50 people’s registration fees will be subsidized,” Haché said.

The aim of the event is to get ideas out in the public forum as the city works on the transportation master plan.

Haché said a challenge to the city’s official plan by area developers has delayed the next rendition of the transportation master plan.

The last time the city updated the plan was in 2013, and the delay could give the extra time needed for more public input.

The event will have a number of speakers —

including transportation committee chair Coun.

Keith Egli.

Zan Gibbs, who heads the transportation equity program at Portland Bureau of Transportation, will be speaking, as well.

“It will be great to hear from someone who works in a city where the equity lens is already applied to transportation planning,” Haché said.

This is the group’s second summit, the first one was held in February 2016, and Haché said participants would submit their opinions on a five-year action plan.

City hall’s movers and shakers will be provided with a draft action plan.

It’s not as simple as accessible transportation, Haché said.

“It’s about planning cities that work for eightyear-olds or 80-yearolds,” he said.

Among the list of concerns is that low-income residents will be priced out of homes near the new light rail stations.

The city and other levels of government are investing billions in light rail, and Haché said there’s the potential that properties near the new stations could rise in value, effectively edging out lower-income residents.

He also said he wants to see a more comprehensive look at the connections to the new stations.

The city has done a

study looking at cycling and pedestrian connectivity 500 metres from the new stations, but with 70 per cent of the city living within five kilometres from light rail, Haché said that’s not enough.

“I think we should be looking at connections from five kilometres

away,” he said.

Transportation equity involves transportation planning and urban design, which is why it’s important the decisionmakers at the city attend, Haché said.

horoscopes

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!
