COO pens letter to residents following clear-cutting concerns along Beaverbrook easement

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hydro One says it will continue to trim trees within the Beaverbrook easement for the time being, as opposed to clear-cutting the area. Chief operating officer Greg Kiraly wrote a letter to residents after forestry crews went through homeowners’ backyards to mark trees within the easement. “It is my commitment to you that we will pursue an approach similar to Hydro One’s urban maintenance practices employed in the Beaverbrook area in 2012, which will involve trimming methods rather than removing healthy vegetation, where possible,” he said in the letter, also posted on the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association’s website.

Coyotes in the Greenbelt little cause for concern says OCWC BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Residents of Crystal Beach have shown concerns recently on the activity of coyotes in the area but according to the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, unless you’re a cat, small dog, or rodent, you have little to worry about. “Forty per cent of a coyotes diet is small animals,” said Donna DuBreuil, president of the OCWC. “Mice, voles and rabbits are their primary food source.” The increased activity that residents may be noticing in the area is normal according to the OCWC. Coyotes require a lot of food leading up to the sparse winter months so they begin to look in places that they may not normally search. On top of that coyote pups are reaching their age of maturity and are beginning to disperse, leading to increase sightings. “Coyotes are extremely intelligent and very curious,” said DuBreuil.

The area of Crystal Beach backs onto the Greenbelt and with 144 hectares of green space the area is prime real estate for the coyote to live. The OWCW advises that if there are coyotes in the area to keep your cats and small dogs close as a desperately hungry coyote will prey on them. As for human interactions, make yourself as big and as loud as possible and the animal will leave. Attacks are incredibly rare; in fact according to DuBreuil the city logs around 400 dog bites per year versus zero for coyotes. As the adage in Ottawa goes “there’s two seasons in Ottawa, winter and construction” and with all that construction unfortunately there is encroachment on animal habitats. The current protocol with the city is if your development encroaches on a wildlife habitat then the mitigation of conflict should be included in the initial assessment of the proposed development. According to the OCWC, coy-

otes are “extremely tolerant of human development and adapt readily to living in close proximity to humans and traffic.” In response to a post on the Crystal Beach community Facebook page, Bay Ward Counc. Mark Taylor there is little the city can do when it comes to relocating the animals. “I certainly understand the concern, particularly of parents of young children,” said Taylor. “While the city and provincial directions around wildlife are largely a hands off strategy there are options for the appropriate humane trapping or humane elimination of wildlife.” The OCWC has a list of tips on how to prevent conflicts with coyotes. Do not feed the animals. Feeding coyotes can habituate it to people and make it reliant upon humans for food. See KEEP, page 4

Keep an eye on small pets and eliminate waste: Wildlife Centre Continued from page 3

When it gets closer to the wintertime and the coyotes are more desperate for food this can lead to an unfortunate incident. Remove all food sources. Anything that can provide a food source for coyotes must be removed. Coyotes are resourceful and opportunistic when it comes to food and they will eat pretty much anything they can get their mouths on. Garbage, pet food and garden vegetables Karen Longwell/Metroland file photo are prime targets and they’ll

It does not mean the coyote is stalking your family or pets. Heat from the foundation escapes here and can attract small animals such as mice and squirrels.

For smaller dogs and cats, be sure to keep them indoors and if they do go outside, stay with them or keep them fully enclosed (such as in a dog run). Try to scare the coyotes to discourage boldness. Sometimes you may experience a coyote that is not very wary of people. If this should happen it is important to discourage this behaviour by making a lot of noise, waving your hands, clap-

Nine trees need emergency trimming: Hydro One

“We understand the importance of the natural environment to your community and are committed to preserving the look and feel of the right of way.” GREG KIRALY, HYDRO ONE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Kiraly, along with other top Hydro One executives, met with Neil Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and tech entrepreneur Terry Matthews, last month. “All the right people were in the room,” said Thomson, adding the meeting was posi-

Hydro One is also developing a plan for routine maintenance in the community, scheduled for 2018. A start date hasn’t been set. The next step, said Thomson, is for Hydro One to provide more information to residents about easement requirements, as well as what is and isn’t acceptable vegetation.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson (left) speaks to residents at a community meeting on Aug. 29. Following residents’ concerns, Hydro One committed to trimming trees within its Beaverbrook easement for the time being. “People are in the dark as to what’s compatible and what’s not compatible,” he said. “We need to know what the requirements are … we want to know what (the) policy is.” Clark said Hydro One is committed to working with the community association and will continue to update residents through notices and its website at HydroOne.com/ Beaverbrook. “Hydro One values input from the communities we serve,” she said. “We look forward to receiving feedback from the association on Hydro One’s practices and communication as part of this project.” Clark said representatives of Hydro One will attend a public meeting planned for Oct. 30. More details will be available at kanatabeaverbrook.ca when plans are finalized.

Homeowners raised the alarm earlier this summer, concerned that Hydro One was making plans to remove the vegetation on their properties similar to the clear-cutting it undertook in Morgan’s Grant. The power company cleared its easement in the neighbouring community of all vegetation and planted a pollinator seed mix in the stretch of land between homes. Kiraly said Hydro One will take a different approach in Beaverbrook. “We understand the importance of the natural environment to your community and are committed to preserving the look and feel of the right of way,” he said. “We are currently developing a fair and flexible maintenance plan that strikes a balance between safety, reliability and the enjoyment of the corridor.”

tive. “It’s a good step in the right direction. That shows how much they’re aware this is an issue.” Thomson updated residents about immediate work required and what is known of Hydro One’s plans at a community information meeting on Aug. 29. More than 40 people attended. Nine trees were identified as requiring emergency branch removal. The company is in the process of meeting with affected residents to discuss the work, which is planned to begin the week of Sept. 5, said Nancy Clark, spokesperson for Hydro One. The trees “have grown too close to the energized wires and are posing a threat to reliability of the electricity system in the area,” she said in an email response to questions. “These trees require immediate trimming to prevent unnecessary power interruptions to the community.”

Kanata Terry Fox Run hits Trans Canada Trails Sept. 17 BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.” - Terry Fox Terry Fox wanted others to take up the torch of his Marathon of Hope after he died. Kanata’s Michael Ward has been organizing the KanataStittsville run for the past decade for that very reason. “When I got involved, I wanted to make sure it kept going in the community,” he said. “That’s the main thing for me, really.” This year marks the 37th annual event nationally and the 28th run locally. The Kanata-Stittsville run takes place on Sept. 17 and participants can choose to run the Trans Canada Trail in 2.5-, five-, and 10-kilometre lengths. So far, 45 people have already raised more than $8,000. “That’s nice, that really mo-

tivates us,” said Ward. “Every dollar you raise, as much as it can, is going to cancer research.” The Terry Fox Foundation funds various types of cancer research, including studies on lung, ovarian, colorectal and other cancers. According to the foundation, it has directed $23 million to its cancer research programs in 2016-17, including towards: • an immunotherapy project for women with a common, yet fatal, type of ovarian cancer; • a team of more than 50 investigators and collaborators working to improve the outcomes for young people with cancer; • and a group focusing on the most lethal and aggressive brain tumour that occurs in adults. Since 1989, the Kanata run has raised more than $700,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Last year’s participants brought in around $25,000, a number Ward hopes to repeat this year.

“We are close to $25,000, $30,000 every year,” he said. “There’s so many different runs and things competing; we just like to keep it consistent.” This year will also mark the 10th year for Ward and the organizing committee’s core group of volunteers. Over the next few years or so, the committee will begin to bring in replacements. “We want to start bringing in the next generation,” he said. TERRY FOX RUN

The Kanata-Stittsville run takes place on Sunday, Sept. 17, with registration at 8 a.m. and the run starting at 9 a.m. at the Kanata Montessori School, 355 Michael Cowpland Dr. There are 2.5-, five-, and 10-kilometre routes to choose from along the Trans Canada Trail. There is no entry fee or minimum donation required to take part, and participants can walk, run, blade or cycle

Runners take off from the starting line at a Terry Fox Run in Ottawa last year. Kanata’s 37th annual run will take place on Sunday, Sept. 17. the course. “There’s no barrier to entry,” said Ward. “It’s really just more about participation, inclusion and getting everyone out to do that.”

Adults and students (who can receive community service hours) are needed to help with preparations and on the day of the run. To volunteer, email Ward

It’s called “The Best Little Fair in Canada” and the 2017 Carp Fair should only reinforce this description. That’s because this year’s fair offers four days of entertaining fun, ranging from midway rides to musical entertainment to livestock shows to special events. This year’s Carp Fair runs

from Thursday, Sept. 21 to Sunday, Sept. 24. The fair opens on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. with Toonie Night on the midway, in which each ride costs only two dollars. Thursday also sees the official opening ceremony while Gail Gavan and The Ryans will be providing the live music at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena. Things really get rolling at

OPINION

Connected to your community

Changing name does nothing

hat’s in a name? A lot, if you listen to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which has called on school boards to rename any schools bearing the name of Sir John A. Macdonald. While Macdonald was one of the chief architects of Confederation in 1867, he also was a decision maker with regard to implementation of residential schools for Canada’s Indigenous peoples. And therein lies the rub — he’s great, but he’s not so great. So, according to the ETFO, let’s wipe Sir John A. from any school buildings. But then what’s next, especially here in Ottawa where the name is widespread. Are the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport renamed? Is his statue on Parliament Hill removed? And what about the Sir John A. pub on Elgin Street? This ETFO renaming proposal has not been greeted favourably by either Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne nor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We find Trudeau’s position on this inconsistent as he just recently renamed the Langevin Block because of Hector-Louis Langevin’s role in the establishment of the residential school system. While Langevin is not nearly as significant an historical

figure as Sir John A., his name was quickly tossed aside by the PM. Yet Sir John A. was Langevin’s boss and was equally complicit in the decision. One goes and one stays — a double standard? Surely what really should be happening as the country wrestles with reconciliation with its Indigenous populace is not to eliminate the past by deleting the names of those from that chapter in Canada’s history. Rather, schools need to tell the complete story of our forefathers, warts and all. In this way, Canadians will come to know not only all the positive things that these people did, but also their blemishes. Removing names from school or public facilities would only cover up the past and do nothing to help Canadians of today to begin dealing with how to form a new respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. Our past is what it is. We cannot change that. Nor should we want to change that. But Canadians should know about the past — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly. Let’s honour the accomplishments and achievements of our forefathers while also acknowledging their faults and taking action to correct them. We can only move forward to Indigenous reconciliation by knowing and acknowledging the past. Changing the name on a building will not do this.

Carpool should be easy to set up but it’s not

eptember is here and I’ve managed to do the unthinkable — the family calendar is booked seven days per week, sometimes double-booked. After all the years promising myself and you readers that I wouldn’t let this happen, the crazy, overscheduled lifestyle has hit. My eldest two children are on the brink of adolescent years. And as it turns out, they like their friends more than they like me. Their friends play football and soccer and baseball and hockey and … well, the list goes on. “Some days, I’d like to come home from work and just sit for half an hour,” my husband said one day last spring as he was emptying the compost and preparing to mend a school uniform for one of the kids. Personally, I’d like to stop thinking

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse about groceries and meal planning. My most frequent Google searches these days include things like, “meals for kids on the go” and “slow cooker all year ‘round.” I’ve also been known to look up things like “how much protein do kids need if they’re growing and playing sports six hours per day?” Turns out, it’s a lot. Besides magical containers that seal without leaking and an online calendar function that frequently pings little so-and-so’s soccer, football or flying event in the middle of a client meet-

ing, I have discovered the best thing since the professionalization of motherhood — the carpool. If you’re a parent with kids in extracurricular activities and you’re not carpooling, it’s time to start. It will save your sanity. But you have to stop hovering so much. The carpool should be easy to establish, but it’s not. It takes hours to get everything downloaded and organized at the beginning of the sports season — you have to recruit like-minded parents (those that are comfortable as non-helicopters), download the info from TeamSnap and create a shareable calendar. As a family with one car and three kids, I have to frequently look into double-booking issues, work around vacations and rely on kind neighbours — you know who you are — to make it run smoothly.

It’s comparable to many project management jobs for which I once got paid. But once it’s in place, it works. My son has 12 practices per month in one sport. Twelve! With six parents on our carpool list, I attend two training sessions every 30 days. Unless I’m volunteering on a particular evening, I don’t need to be on the sidelines watching my kids train in sports. Would they want to sit there and watch me exercise? I don’t think so. I don’t even want to watch me exercise. It’s time better spent grocery shopping and meal planning, if you know what I mean. The carpool has been so successful, I extended it to include games. So what if I missed my son’s first goal of the season? I got to take a bubble bath on a “school night” instead.

Eastern Canadian GAA Championships coming to Twin Elm rugby park Sept. 2 CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

A celebration of Irish culture and sport takes place at Twin Elm Rugby Park Sept 2. The Ottawa Gaels Gaelic football club and the Èire Óg Ottawa Youth hurling club are hosting the Eastern Canadian GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) Championships. The event is also celebrating Canada’s 150th. “We’re delighted to welcome clubs to Ottawa during this seminal year for Canada,” said Ottawa Gaels chairperson Kerry Mortimer. “As Canada commemorates 150 and reflects on the diversity and

strength of our communities, these championships provide an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of Irish culture, sport and community here in Canada.” Since the event will serve to celebrate Irish culture, Jim Kelly, Ireland’s Ambassador to Canada, will also be attending to watch the some of the games. “The GAA in Canada continues to grow and flourish, bringing together people of all backgrounds to learn and love our national games, to develop a deep sense of community, and to build a strong connection with Ireland,” said Kelly. “I look forward to welcoming the teams to Ottawa and enjoy-

ing the energy and excitement of the championships.” The Eastern Canadian championships were established in 2014, and were first hosted in Newfoundland. The championship in Ottawa will host six GAA clubs from four provinces in the Eastern Division. More than 150 adult men and women will participate in the games. This year, for the first time, the championships will include a youth division, which will consist of about 60 youth players from the Ottawa area. For more information on the two sports that will be featured Metroland file photo and a full program of events Twin Elm rugby park will be host to the Eastern Canadian GAA Championships on Sept. visit ottawagaels.ca. 2.

Ontario is helping people across the province save money and fight climate change through the Green Ontario Fund - a new not-for-profit provincial agency that will deliver programs and rebates to help reduce energy costs in homes and businesses. The agency is part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan and is funded by proceeds from the province’s cap on pollution and carbon market. Chris Ballard, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, made the announcement today and encouraged people to visit GreenON.ca to find out how small changes can help homes and businesses save money while reducing greenhouse gas pollution. This includes the new GreenON Installations program, which opened early registration today. Interested and eligible households can register to have a Green Ontario Fund-trained

technician visit and install a smart thermostat at no cost. The technician will also provide advice and tips as well as personalized suggestions for additional energy-saving upgrades. More GreenON programs for residents, businesses and industry will be announced in the coming months. No matter where you live or work in Ontario, fighting climate change can be as easy as changing a light bulb, switching your thermostat or making other home improvements that cut your energy bills. Making it easier and more convenient for homeowners and businesses to reduce their carbon foot print and save money is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

Canada’s Table offers helping hand to local food organizations MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

An open-air dinner on Wellington Street not only gave 1,000 diners a unique eating experience but also reached out to help a number of Ottawa’s not-for-profit food organizations. Set up in front of Parliament

Hill, Canada’s Table was held on Aug. 27 and invited 1,000 guests a four-course meal created by 20 top chefs from across Canada — which included 10 local chefs — to celebrate Canada’s unique culinary culture. Organized by Ottawa 2017, the event was held to raise funds for local food security projects in the city.

Restaurateur Stephen Beckta and Chef Mike Moffatt of Beckta, Play and Gezellig restaurants, along with Sheila Whyte of Thyme and Again Catering worked with Ottawa 2017 to organize the large-scale event. See PROCEEDS, page 16

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy! But that wasn’t always the case.

GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017. A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO. 14 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 7, 2017

In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO

and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice. Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.

“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

Invictus flag to make a stop in Westboro BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

During the 37-day Invictus Games flag tour, it’s coming to Westboro. The flag is travelling with 150 flag bearers from coast to coast and making two stops in Ottawa. The Invictus Games are being held

in Toronto from Sept. 23 to 30. On Sept. 15, it makes a stop beside the Westboro legion in Winston Square from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. It’s one of 15 legions involved in the cross-country tour. The flag will also stop at 22 military bases and in more than 50 communities. In organizing the event, Doug

Cody, past-president of the branch, said the purpose of the tour really became clear when talking with organizers of the games. “The Invictus Games is for the athletes, but the flag run is for everyone,” Cody said. See COMMUNITY, page 20

Community welcome to show support for wounded warriors served in the air force, and Orrin Kerr, an army reservist with the Scottish regiment. The legion branch’s Sgt.At-Arms, Pat Berrea, a serving member of the reserves, will be giving his remarks during the stop as well. Although the event is special for the Westboro legion, Cody hopes that legion and community members from across the city come out and show their support for the games. “We’d love to see the local community get involved,” he said. Cody said having the flag stop in Westboro supports the Legion’s goal of supporting veterans. “That’s our goal and the goal of all legions.” The games were created in 2014 by Prince Harry. According to its website, “it’s the only international adaptive sporting event for wounded, ill and injured active duty and veteran service members.” Previous games were held in London, England, and in

Continued from page 19

The games are for active duty and veteran service members who have become ill or injured during military service; the 550 athletes will compete in 12 different adaptive sports, including archery, athletics, golf, indoor rowing, powerlifting, cycling, volleyball, swimming, basketball, rugby, tennis and a driving challenge. There are 17 countries participating. The flag tour stop will feature the Invictus Games’ mascot, Vimy, a Labrador retriever trained to be a detection dog at the Canadian Forces Base in Trenton. Vimy can sniff out explosives and illegal chemicals. There will also be a yellow flag for attendees to sign to show their support. Those flags will be presented to competitors at the games. The three local flag bearers are Bob Cook, who served in the military police and went on several United Nations tours, Ray Larose, who

Walk, bike or take transit this fall: transportation chair on Highway 417 between Maitland Avenue and Island Park Drive. Kent said the city would be working with the province as they become aware of the aspects of the work. Egli said despite the fact that several councillors disagree with the province’s decision to widen the highway — due to the city’s lack of infrastructure available to deal with the increase traffic — the city has to deal with the cards its dealt. “I think the most pragmatic thing the city can do is work with the plan,” he said.

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennfer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Most of the roadwork this fall will be outside the downtown core, said transportation chair Keith Egli, during a technical briefing to council and city staff on Aug. 30. A push to get all the work done in the downtown core for 2017 celebrations means this fall will see work in the suburbs and rural areas. City officials have only identified two areas where delays would be more than 10 minutes as a result of roadwork: Nicholas Street between Hwy. 417 and Laurier Avenue and St. Laurent Boulevard south of Innes Road. The construction project on St. Laurent Boulevard is adding bus and cycling facilities. “I don’t think we’re going to have a large bottleneck specifically this year,” Greg Kent, head of traffic management for the city, said. “We don’t expect anything significant, but other conditions such as weather may compound the impacts.” Nicholas Street could be the site of some backups, Kent said, but buses have been detoured to the road after the University of Ottawa transit station was closed and cars have been moving well off the highway.

CONFEDERATION LINE

As 2018 approaches, the deadline for the opening of the Confederation Line, the city has launched its Ready for Rail campaign. While it’s still unclear when the official opening day is, Steve Cripps, the director of O-Train construction, said 17 of the 34 LRT vehicles have been assembled and test runs on the east end of the 12.5-kilomeCourtesy of the City of Ottawa tre line will soon extend as far west Most of the roadwork this fall will be outside the downtown core this fall, said transportation chair Keith as the University of Ottawa station.

CityFolk set for Marvest encore BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Catch a local music act in aisle four, or in a store window, or just about anywhere in the Glebe. CityFolk music festival organizers have announced the lineup for this year’s edition of Marvest – billed as a harvest of music – which runs Sept. 15 and 16. More than 50 acts from the National Capital Region will perform in 19 venues, many of which don’t usually host bands. Throughout the event, an eclectic mix of regional acts will play a series of free music concerts in bars, restaurants and storefronts in the Glebe, allowing concertgoers from CityFolk to continue the party into the night. Marvest will work in partnership with the Glebe BIA and the numerous local businesses who have offered to open their doors to some firstrate music. “This is a great opportunity for the CityFolk organization to promote local talent by working in cooperation with local businesses,” said CityFolk executive director Mark Monahan in a press release. “It gives the musicians a boost by helping them develop their audiences … and it helps businesses broaden their customer base.” Bands on tap include: Area Resident; Aviation; Beyond Spain; Bruce Enloe; Bryan Snider; Étoile Noire; Expanda Fuzz; Fire Antlers; Gentlemen

Are cell phones safe for children? JAKE COLE AND AL COLDHAM

In our last article, we looked at the issue of the safety of cell phones. We would like to dig into that subject a little further. One of the most troublesome questions that many parents face is whether or not to allow their children to have and use a cell phone. To get an informed opinion, we went to Dr. Devra Davis, mentioned in our previous article (she is author of the book about cell phones, “Disconnect”) and her colleague at her web site, Environmental Trust (ehtrust.org), Theodora Scarato, a clinical social worker. Here’s what they had to say to the question: “Are cell phones safe for children?” Cell phones are not toys, yet they are being routinely handed to toddlers as pacifiers. Parents also appear to buy cell phones for children with the mistaken notion that this keeps them safe. In fact, growing evidence shows that wireless radiation can be

issued ten cell phone safety tips, which include, “make only short or essential calls on cell phones” and “avoid carrying your phone against the body like in a pocket, sock, or bra.” Belgium has banned the sale of cell phones for young children. Yet cancer is just the tip of the iceberg. Wireless technology also affects reproduction - damaging sperm and hormones. Prenatal exposure is linked to fewer brain cells and behavioral issues. Another study found increased ADHD symptoms tied with higher cell phone use among children exposed to lead. We go to great lengths to protect the child brain with car seats and bike helmets, yet we are exposing them now to an agent that many governments control/ ban/restrict. Due to their thinner skulls and unique physiology, children can receive twice as dangerous - especially to the years have between 50% to 900% much radiation into their brain more brain cancer. In response and up to ten times as much young. One study shows that people to this new study, the American who use cell phones for over ten Academy of Pediatrics recently See INSTRUCTIONS, page 27

Instructions that come with cell phones routinely ignored Continued from page 26

into their skull as compared to an adult. Children’s developing brains are the most vulnerable. There are indications that some legal exposure, due to using cell phones, is already being recognized. Many insurance companies simply refuse to cover health damages from wireless radiation. Most parents are unaware that smartphone manuals state that the phone should be not be held against the body because of the radiation. If you must hand a child a cell phone or wireless device, putting it on airplane mode will turn the wireless emissions off. Yet even if parents knew, would children follow these safety instructions? There’s more than the radiation danger from cell phones that should worry parents. Despite the fact that texting while driving is proven hazardous, the rates of such distracted driving accidents are only rising. With our input, CBC’s Marketplace did an episode on this subject. They found that in the instructions packaged with cell

phones, manufacturers list quite specific requirements for how far to keep cell phones from the body when using them. The Marketplace team also found that consumers either never read or routinely ignored those instructions, thereby exposing themselves to more radiation than the manufacturers themselves, deemed to be safe. That episode is available here: www.cbc.ca/marketplace/ episodes/2016-2017/the-secret-inside-yourphone . And there’s a very disturbing recent news item from France indicating that cell phones generally exceed safe radiation levels when used in the normal way. More information on that “Phonegate” issue is available at this link: ehtrust.org/cell-phone-radiationscandal-french-government-data-indicatescell-phones-exposeconsumers-radiationlevels-higher-manufacturers-claim/ So what is the bottom line here? Are cell phones safe for children? Here’s what we think. Young children should no more have a cell phone today than they should have free use of guns, cars or alcohol.

Children face a lifetime of wireless exposures that have never existed in human history. Setting limits on those exposures now, is the safest way to ensure that they grow up healthy and secure, capable of using technology appropriately when and if they need to do so. Until those limits are established, and only by those without a financial interest in the cell phone business, parents should be very cautious about cell phone use by their children. We leave it to you, the reader, to consider this information and decide for yourself whether you feel a child should have and use a cell phone. One final thought: Do you remember when cigarettes were routinely smoked and considered safe to use? Could we be at that same stage now with respect to cell phones?

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton International Overdose Awareness Day I was delighted to join community heroes at the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street to recognize International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD). IOAD is a global event held on August 31st each year that aims to raise awareness of overdose and spreads the message that the tragedy of overdose death is preventable. We can, and must, do more to protect our children and provide the resources required to help those in need.

Carp Water Treatment Improvements I was so pleased to be joined by MPP Yasir Naqvi, Mayor Jim Watson, and Councillor Eli El-Chantiry to announce $3.1M for improvements to the Carp Water Treatment Facility by all 3 levels of government! The CanadaOntario Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) agreement is designed to improve the safety and quality of water for Canadian families while supporting a clean economy. Thanks to the men and women who run such a great facility – it was great to meet you all!

Veterans to help build affordable housing for fellow veterans BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

A new housing project planned for CFB Rockcliffe is looking at getting veterans to help veterans. The Multi-Faith Housing Initiative first announced the $8-million plan to build veterans housing, explaining the project will place a roof over the heads of at least 40 veterans on the former Canadian Forces Air Base in 2014. The building will follow a housing first model and will include social support to help those with health conditions. Construction is expected to begin in 2018. Since that announcement, the organization has created multiple partnerships to get the job done – including its latest partner – Helmets to Hardhats – who announced a $25,000 donation to the proj-

ect on Aug. 29 at the HMCS Bytown Officers’ Mess. President of Multi-Faith Housing Initiative Mike Ward called the project an important one, adding that the status quo can not continue. “Homeless veterans are more likely to be living on the streets than in a shelter,” Ward said, adding he is hoping that this project not only helps veterans but also gives them a chance to be a part of the building process. “They were there for us in the past and it's our turn to be there for them now,” Ward said. Executive director Suzanne Le said this project, in this location – a former air base – is the best way to commemorate the history of the site. See VETERANS, page 29

Greg Matte of Helmets to Hardhats Canada speaks before his organization handed Veterans House $25,000 to help with the plan to build on the former CFB Rockcliffe air base. The building will provide a community of 40 units for homeless veterans and veterans at risk of becoming homeless. The $8 million project was announced in November 2014 and construction is expected to begin in 2018. Date: September 14, 2017 Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Veterans House a ‘first step’ to support veterans: councillor Continued from page 28

Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, a veteran of the Canadian Forces, has been supportive of the project since it was first announced in 2014, when he was then only a newly sworn-in councillor. “We know they're out there,” Mitic said. “We're gonna support them. Veterans House is the first step." Multi-Faith Housing Initiative is a coalition of faith communities that provide and promote affordable housing for lower income households in Ottawa. It currently owns and operates 139 rental-housing units. Helmets to Hardhats Canada provides Canadian military veterans and serving reservists with opportunities for apprenticeship training and careers in Canada’s building and construction industries. National executive director of Helmets to Hardhats, Greg Matte said he is hoping his organization’s contribution to the project will help veterans rebuild their lives. Matte added he feels those veterans who help construct the building will gain valuable training through the experience. “Veterans House is an important and long overdue project for veterans in Ottawa,” Matte said. The Veterans House project has multiple partners including Ottawa Salus, which will provide the support services, CAHDCO, which is in charge of developing and managing the construction, Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command and District G, Soldiers Helping Soldiers, VETS Canada,

True Patriot Love, Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, and Support our Troops. Each organization will be bringing its own expertise and help to the project, Le said. “We owe these men, we owe

A weekly guide in legal matters

Let the Buyer Beware. The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal.

Warranties and Representations. The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to provide any warranties and representations to the buyer. The buyer might try to negotiate such warranties into the agreement of purchase and sale, however this is very rare.

I have put an offer on the house a few days ago, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement was made conditional upon satisfactory home inspection. The house was only built a few years ago and we are contemplating on going through without the home inspection and waiving this condition. What rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date?

The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents, the OREA form 100, does not contain any warranties in regards to a physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to urea formaldehyde insulation. Consequently, there are no explicit warranties given by a seller to a purchaser when it comes to the condition of a home, unless such warranties are negotiated between the parties and added into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect yourself from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime. It gives you an opportunity to negotiate with the seller to repair all or at least some of the deficiencies prior to closing, to lower the purchase price or to decide not to proceed with the purchase.

Blue Sky School the ‘future of education’ Educational prototype opens in south Kanata BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Eleven students will be the first cohort to attend classes at Blue Sky School, billed as an “experimental prototype school of tomorrow,” when the school year begins on Sept. 5. For 12-year-old Kiara Whitney, the drive from Orléans to Kanata every day will be worth it. “It’s amazing that it actually exists,” Kiara said. “I was terrible at most things in school, and then here, I think that when I come here, I’ll actually get better at stuff; you learn your way instead of everybody else’s.” Founded by educators Shauna Pollock and Karen Hill, Blue Sky School was built to mimic entrepreneurial incubators and innovation centres. The idea is to expose students to as many different topics,

will be setting goals,” said Hill, a Riverside South resident. “One of the things we’re trying to really value is starting where kids are at. So for some

of our students, the first goal is ‘believing in myself’ or ‘selfadvocacy.’” Pollock and Hill hosted a grand opening celebration at

the school, located at 95 Denzil Doyle Court in the Kanata South Business Park, on Aug. 30. “I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it — it’s

my dream come true,” said Pollock, who lives in Bel-Air Park in the city's west end. See EXPERIMENTAL, page 35

‘Dief the Chief: October 62’ at Diefenbunker BY JOHN CURRY

Tax reforms announced by the government are going to be an extra burden to many SME's.

john.curry@metroland.com

The Diefenbunker in Carp takes its name from John Diefenbaker, who was prime minister of Canada during its construction. Yet he never visited the site, apparently upset that his wife Olive could not accompany him there if there were a nuclear war threat. But this month, Diefenbaker will be at the Diefenbunker, not, of course, in person since he died in 1979, but certainly in a visual dramatization called Dief the Chief: October 62. This will be a theatrical experience written by playwright Pierre Brault who is known for writing and performing award-winning historicallybased shows. This will be yet another as Dief the Chief: October 62

John Curry/Metroland

This is the entrance building for the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum in Carp. will involve a dramatic journey through October 1962 when the world seemed to be on the brink of nuclear war due to the Cuban missile crisis. You will see the crisis through Diefenbaker’s eyes, travelling through the Diefen-

buker as the world watches the U.S.A. and the USSR face off in this Cuban missile crisis. You will hear in Dief’s own words about his rocky relationship with American President John F. Kennedy. See PERFORMANCE, page 34

Back to Queen’s Park, Back to Work Next week I will be headed back to Queen’s Park as the Legislature begins its fall session. Summer is normally a low period for politics, but we have all been kept busy with an active agenda. I have spoken with business owners around Eastern Ontario about bill 148, the 30% mandated wage hike, and the impacts it is going to have on them. They were straight forward in saying bill 148 is going to kill jobs. I attended the committee meeting that was held in Ottawa to ensure that their views and concerns were represented. I have been making your voices heard, by standing up for the issues that are going to matter when the Legislature resumes sitting. Fighting government cash grabs, opposing making the same regulatory mistakes with marijuana that we made with alcohol and standing up for our small businesses. I was happy to once again host our Music in the Park concert, it is always great to be able to connect with the community in a light and fun atmosphere. And on a personal note I had the great joy of hosting my daughter’s wedding. Family is very important to me, as a father and grandfather I see what I’m fighting for as an MPP, their futures..

so early purchase of tickets is recommended. The production is the creation of Pierre Brault, a veteran actor, writer, director and producer whose work has appeared on virtually every stage in Ottawa as well as elsewhere across Canada. He is best known for writing and performing award winning, historically-based, one-man plays based on historical figures. These have included Blood on the Moon about Patrick Whelan, the man hung for assassinating D’Arcy McGee; Portrait of an Unidentified Man about notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory; and 5 O’Clock Bells about guitar genius Lenny Breau. In these, Brault brings history to life and the same will be true for

Dief the Chief: October 62. Pierre Brault has received two best actor awards from the Ottawa and Montreal Critics’ Circles as well as the inaugural Audrey Ashley Award for his body-of-work contribution to the Ottawa theatre scene. He served as playwright-inresidence at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa in the 2006-2007 season. John George Diefenbaker served as the 13th prime minister of Canada from June 1957 to April 1963. He grew up in Saskatchewan and after brief service in World War 1, he became a noted criminal defence lawyer. He contested elections throughout the 1920s and 1930s before finally being elected to the House of Commons in 1940 where he remained until his death in 1979. In 1957, he led the Progressive Conservative party to its first electoral victory in 27 years, following it up with another electoral victory in 1958 which resulted in an overwhelming majority for the Tories. As prime minister, Diefenbaker appointed the first female cabinet minister in Canadian history. He also appointed the first Aboriginal member of the Senate. During his tenure as prime minister, his government passed the Ca-

nadian Bill of Rights and granted the vote to First Nations and Inuit peoples. In foreign policy, his stance against apartheid helped secure the departure of South Africa from the Commonwealth. He is also remember for his 1959 cancellation of the Avro Arrow project and it was his indecision on whether to accept Bomarc nuclear missiles from the United States that led to his government’s defeat in 1963. When the Cuban missile crisis erupted in October 1962, Kennedy chose not to consult with Diefenbaker before making decisions on what actions to take. Kennedy sent a former ambassador to Ottawa to inform Diefenbaker as to the content of a speech that Kennedy was making on television about the crisis. Diefenbaker was upset at the lack of consultation and that fact that he was given less than two hours advance notice of the speech. He was also angered when the U.S. released a statement stating that it had Canada’s full support. The Cuban missile crisis did end without war with Kennedy’s actions in the crisis widely supported by Canadians. Diefenbaker was severely criticized in the media for his reactions in the crisis. This play Dief the Chief: October 62 is a collaboration of playwright and performer Pierre Brault with the Diefenbunker, known as Canada’s Cold War Museum. The play is being held in partnership with Ottawa 2017 to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.

Experimental school ‘unbelievably exciting’ Continued from page 31

“We’re so fortunate that we found 11 amazing families to work with us right off the bat and experiment with this new form of education,” said Pollock. “They’re taking the risk with us. It’s just unbelievably exciting.” EXPERIMENTAL PROTOTYPE

Blue Sky School is based on Walt Disney’s concept of an “experimental prototype community of tomorrow,” a city where inhabitants would test the latest in technology as part of a real-world research and development lab. Disney’s concept inspired Pollock to revolutionize her classroom and way of teaching. Last year she published a book entitled Creating Classroom Magic, which became the vision for the school. “What we’re looking for with our students is to create the next generation of changemakers by partnering with innovative leaders and exposing children to a whole variety of topics and disciplines and passions,” she said. Classroom educators are pedagogical coaches, working with students to set personal and educational goals, create

a plan of action and assist them with self-directed learning. Professionals from a variety of fields are expected to act as mentors. The school has teamed up with a number of organizations, including Shopify, Impact Hub Ottawa, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and the University of Ottawa, among other institutions. One of those is Modern Niagara Group Inc., a mechanical design company that

noteworthy; a model that puts the learner at the centre of the learning.” Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley — credited with creating the city’s Innovation Pilot Program, which fosters the growth of local startup companies, and a sponsor for the Smart City initiative in Ottawa — said the school’s vision is the way of the future. “This school excites me, I haven’t stopped talking about it,” he said. “I believe this is probably the future of educa-

“I think that the pioneer students and others that follow are going to have a very unique advantage.”

helped Pollock and Hill create their dream school. Hill's husband, Chris, executive vice-president of Modern Niagara, said the partnership was a natural fit. Their daughter Grace is among the initial students. “It’s something altogether unique and different,” he said, adding students had a hand in the design and furnishings, a valuable hands-on learning experience. “It’s all been with and by students,” he said. “I think it’s

tion. I think that the pioneer students and others that follow are going to have a very unique advantage over the regular school program.” For the two founders, they are looking forward to challenges and celebrations ahead. “We want people to know they’re welcome in the space any time — to follow us, steal our ideas, make them better, share them back with us,” said Karen Hill. “This is part of what the experiment is all about.”

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Fred Barrett Arena 3280 Leitrim Road 6 to 9 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) OC Transpo route 93 (formerly 144) Free parking is available

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify the right-of-way requirements for the project, protect the corridor and inform the ongoing planning and development of adjacent lands. The study area is illustrated on the key map.

The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan including a functional design and an estimate of capital and operating costs for implementation. There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide: • An overview of the study progress to date including an overview of existing conditions • Reconfirming the project need and justification • An evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative corridors.

Your participation in the Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Information about the study is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/leitrimroad. The Open House information will also be available on the website. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the City of Ottawa Project Manager, below, before the event.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review I hope that you all enjoyed a restful weekend as we get back to school and work after Summer holidays! Please slow down and be extra cautious by watching out for children in the weeks ahead as our youth head back to school. If you witness unsafe driving or excessive speeds in your community, please call the police non emergency line at 613-236-1222 x 7300. As school begins, please consider the following safety tips: • Reduce speeds in school zones and be ready to stop at any time. Children do not always notice oncoming traffic; • Obey school bus signals; • Watch for pedestrian crossovers, know how they work and obey them when in use; • Walk on available sidewalks; • Always cross at intersections, looking and listening for traffic and walk across only when road is clear and safe to do so; • Follow adult crossing guards, student crossing patrols and school bus operator’s signals; and, • Always wear a helmet when riding a bike and walk your bike across a roadway. Drivers are responsible for stopping in both directions, if on a road without a median, when they see a school bus stopped with its lights flashing. Fines for not obeying this law range from $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points.

OC Transpo Fall Service On Sunday, September 3rd, OC Transpo introduced new route numbers for several routes and fall service changes include adjusted schedules to reflect the higher demand for service as customers return to work and school. In Kanata South, the following routes have schedule changes:

Reminder of the Depression MARY G COOK etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies. For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me.

Memories The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first. And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina who only had two sons...no daughters, and you didn’t have to be too smart to see that they were decidedly

Route 61C The trips that are scheduled at Mackenzie King Bridge at 4:08pm and 4:22pm will be converted to use double decker buses instead of articulated buses to provide additional seating capacity.

Route 256 The first afternoon trip on Route 256 will be shifted four minutes earlier to start at 3:05pm, and the second trip will be shifted ten minutes earlier to start at 3:20pm. The times of subsequent trips were adjusted to provide a consistent 15-minute frequency from the start of the afternoon service through to about 4:30pm. There are the same number of trips throughout the afternoon peak service in September as there were in January, and all afternoon trips on Route 256 from the first trip through to 5:40pm will operate with high capacity buses. The new route timetable can be viewed at octranspo.com.

Upcoming Events September 16th: Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) has partnered with myself, Councillors Wilkinson, Qadri and El-Chantiry to offer up a free “Try It” event for Sledge hockey. This event will be held from 9:15am-11:15am at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Learn more about Sledge Hockey at www.SHEO.ca . October 5th: 2018 Public Budget Consultation meeting, Kanata Recreation Complex – Hall A, 6:30pm. Come out and share your thoughts on the 2018 Budget with your Councillor and City Finance staff.

boy’s shoes. Brown, they were, called brogues, with thick laces. I was the only one the shoes would fit. And I hated them with a passion. How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I asked again if she thought there might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy...as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She

was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Province supporting projects to reduce greenhouse gas Ontario is helping researchers, entrepreneurs and companies create and commercialize new, globally competitive, low-carbon technologies that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the province. Daiene Vernile, parliamentary assistant to Reza Moridi, Minister of Research, Innovation and Science, made the announcement. The Low Carbon Innovation Fund will support emerging, innovative technologies in areas such as alternative energy generation and conservation, new biofuels or bioproducts, next-generation transportation or novel carbon capture and usage technologies. Successful technologies will need to show significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Ontario. This initiative is part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan and is

funded by proceeds from the province’s carbon market. The fund includes two streams: The Technology Demonstration stream will support the development and commercialization of innovative low carbon technologies through testing in real-world settings. Self-assessments and Expressions of Interest for the Technology Demonstration stream are due September 22, 2017. The Technology Validation stream will fund proof of concept or prototype projects from eligible Ontario companies or academic organizations. This earlier-stage funding is expected to seed game-changing technologies and help them get to market faster. Applications for the Technology Validation stream will open in fall 2017. Projects eligible for funding include new GHG

reduction technology that addresses a specific need, and projects that show a significant improvement to an existing GHG reduction technology solution. Supporting innovation while reducing greenhouse gas emissions is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives. QUICK FACTS

$25.8 million has been allocated to the Low Carbon Innovation Fund. Eligible LCIF projects must be conducted in Ontario and have the potential to play a significant role in helping the province meet its GHG reduction targets as part of Ontario’s Climate Change

Action Plan. Ontario has the fastest growing clean tech sector in Canada, with $8 billion in revenue, 3,000 companies and 65,000 employees. The Climate Change Action Plan and carbon market form the backbone of Ontario’s strategy to cut greenhouse gas pollution to 15 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, 37 per cent by 2030 and 80 per cent by 2050. The government will report on the plan’s implementation annually and review the plan at least every five years. Supporting clean tech innovation is part of Ontario’s five-year, $650-million Business Growth Initiative that is helping to grow the economy and create jobs by promoting an innovation-based economy, helping small companies scale-up and modernizing regulations for businesses.

Ottawans asked to fill 2017 time capsule BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Erin McCracken/Metroland

City of Ottawa archivist Paul Henry and his staff will soon begin narrowing down the treasures they receive from each ward councillor that will be sealed within the city’s 2017 time capsule. The box of mementoes will be entombed at city hall early next year and opened in 50 years.

Mayor Jim Watson is thinking into the distant future ... to the moment city staff crack open a time capsule that will have safeguarded Ottawa 2017 keepsakes for five decades. “I definitely won’t be around because I’ll be 106 years old. Someone like (Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.) Matt Fleury will be there, I hope,” Watson said with a laugh, adding that Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish will also likely still be around. They are among some of the youngest mem-

Watson has asked the city’s 23 councillors to consult with their constituents on finding “a meaningful and unique contribution” that reflects their wards. See ARCHIVAL, page 47

Archival experts to curate collection of 2017 treasures Continued from page 45

Residents are to pitch their ideas to their local councillors by Sept. 25 as keepsakes must be submitted to archives staff by Sept. 29. The entombing ceremony is scheduled to take place in the rotunda at City Hall in early 2018.

Mayor Jim Watson is considering submitting a sampling of ceramic flowers from the Museum of Nature’s recent Populace exhibit for the city’s time capsule project. Submitted

The box will be locked and welded shut before it is interred in its final resting place at City Hall, which has not yet been finalized. “I’m excited about this,” Watson said. “We want it to be reflective of what the city was like back in 2017.” He is considering including ceramic trillium, fleurde-lys and feather sculptures from the Museum of Nature’s Ottawa 2017 Populace exhibit that “represent the three founding groups of Canada.” Watson also plans to add a keepsake letter as well as a 2017 program guide chroni-

cling the events taking place in Ottawa to mark Canada’s 150th birthday milestone this year. “I’m open to ideas from the public if they have things that they think should go in the capsule that people in 50 years from now will enjoy opening up and finding out what we were all about back in 2017,” he said. The capsule’s opening in 2067 will coincide with the country’s 200th anniversary since Confederation. The initiative is an exciting opportunity for archives staff. See TIME, page 48

Time capsule to represent ‘spirit of Ottawa in 2017’: archivist Continued from page 47

“When we get a project like this, this is an opportunity to create a snapshot in time of Ottawa in 2017,” said Paul Henry, city archivist. Items included should document life in Ottawa in 2017 and be “meaningful and interesting for future generations, but also to capture the significance of the 2017 year,” he said. Though 2017 is a milestone year, a time capsule wasn’t created 50 years ago during Canada’s centennial for Ottawa officials to open this year. “It’s surprising there was never one done, or maybe

there was one done and people forgot about it at the old city hall,” Watson said with a chuckle. He has every confidence the container will be well cared for over the coming decades and appreciated when finally unsealed. “Sadly, I’ve been to a couple of time capsule openings where all of the work has been ruined,” he said, referring to a keepsake container that had been hibernating near the Westboro cenotaph. When it was opened, it was discovered water had seeped in, damaging the contents. The experts at the city’s central archives are regular-

ly asked for their expertise on time capsules. They field requests from across the city for help in crafting keepsake containers since the archives serve as the authority on the city’s official history dating back to about 1800. They are also often called in to examine capsules that have been recovered. “We think it’s better (if we’re contacted) down the road because there’s nothing more upsetting than putting a time capsule together and opening it 50 years later and everything’s disintegrated,” said Henry. In fact, the central archives building is an enormous time capsule itself

with about 20 linear kilometres of treasures. When the 2017 capsule is eventually unsealed in 50 years, some of its contents may go on public display, while others may be stored at the archives building. “I’d like to see the spirit of Ottawa in 2017 represented in such a way that it will survive the test of time,” Henry said, adding there is no shortage of items that could be included, given the plethora of celebratory events taking place this year. “It’s a unique opportunity to create a curated snapshot,” he said. “It’s a deliberate attempt to create history.”

TIME CAPSULE DOs: • Medals, commemorative coins • Documents on quality paper • Black-and-white photos • Clean cotton and polyester textiles

TIME CAPSULE DON’Ts: • Batteries • Food and liquids • Matches and explosives • Unstable documents such

as photocopies and faxes • Rubber • Silk • Wool and hair

BE MINDFUL: • Some electronic media may become obsolete, which means flash drives, CDs and DVDs may not be readable • Colour prints and slides can fade when stored in the dark • Wood gives off acid vapours and must be sealed away from metal or electronics • Newsprint deteriorates easily and must be isolated • Electronics must not have batteries
