Transit pass, social services funding top budget wishes

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A small number of people attended a pre-budget meeting in Kanata but they had some big ideas on where the city should spend and save money next year.

More funding for social services, a low-income bus pass, higher taxes, toll roads

Trevor Haché, a member of the healthy transportation coalition and resident of Glen Cairn, said his “number one priority ask” is for the city to implement a low-income transit pass.

The city released a report and estimated the cost at $3.3 million to help about 8,800 people who would qualify. To find that money in the budget, the city could cut the mayor’s office budget by $300,000 and the Ottawa police budget by $3 million, said Haché.

“They’re both provocative ideas but they’re ideas I support,” he said. “Failing that, I would be happy to pay more taxes … I’d gladly fork out an extra $50 a year, $75 a year, if that meant that those low-income folks can ride the bus and be able to afford to put more food on the table.”

and garbage fees were some of the concepts offered at the Sept. 15 meeting, attended by eight residents and hosted by west end councillors Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North), Allan Hubley (Kanata South) and Shad Qadri (Stittsville).

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt joined the meeting later in the evening.

Councillors share budget priorities for 2017

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The need for more transit is necessary in Stittsville, said Qadri.

“We definitely need more transit service – my area is ex-

ploding in all directions,” he said. “We’re not necessarily neglected but we’re not where we should be.”

For cost savings, when the city approves large community developments it should require developers to front-end the cost of upgrading existing infrastructure, such as roads, so they’re ready to handle additional capacity from the get-go, said Qadri.

Having the infrastructure ready before people move in, instead of waiting years for the city to find the money, is beneficial for everyone, he said.

The city should also eliminate any position that is vacant for more than six months from the books, he said.

“We have to rationalize our staffing,” said Qadri.

ANNA OSTAPYK

Hubley said he’s hoping there’s more money in the roads and the parks budgets in 2017.

He said he’d also like to see some funding for bus shelters and bus pads, “things of convenience for people.”

would be nice, she said.

Changing procedures and eliminating duplication within city departments are areas where cost savings can be found, she said.

A faster development process for all businesses – not just those with 100 or more employees – where developers can start building while waiting on the final legal agreement would also save money, she said.

Wilkinson said she’d like to see more funding for transit outside the greenbelt, more attention given to areas that are doing well – such as the technology park in her ward – and not just areas that need additional help, and “a little bit more” money spent on beautification of parks and streets.

When it comes to cost savings, the councillor said he prefers to wait for the city’s audit report (which is released in November) to determine where the city can save money, but the reorganization of staff at city hall “should produce more savings for the 2017 budget.”

Changes to winter operations, such has salt trucks driving down the middle of roads, will also cut costs, said Hubley.

Charge drivers to park in park-and-ride lots: resident Continued from page 1

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said council is not able to touch the police budget – it’s only able to approve or reject what is submitted – “So the $3 million you talked about would have to come from other sources.”

Kanata resident Val Collins said her table of five residents discussed increasing taxes to offset requests for more funding. No one wants to pay more, but sometimes it’s necessary, she said.

“It wouldn’t hold up with the electoral promises of the mayor but I think it might serve us better,” said Collins.

Others voiced their agreement that higher taxes are needed, while some didn’t want them to rise at all.

“We don’t want our taxes to go up and some people can’t afford for taxes to go up,” said Rod MacLean, president of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association.

SOCIAL SERVICES

Collins, who also sits on the board of directors for the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, said funding for social services has not kept up with population growth or demand for services.

A 1.5 per cent budget increase “doesn’t add up” when caseloads are increasing by nine per cent, she said.

“Our services are being stretched,” she said, adding requests for city-funded services has increased by 300 per cent from 17 per cent between 2011 and 2015.

Collins asked that the city provide a two-year fund of $500,000 for crisis management to help social service programs relieve the immediate pressure,

and look at developing a longterm plan to deal with the everincreasing demand for services.

TRANSIT AND CYCLING

To generate more revenue and offset the cost of building and maintaining OC Transpo parkand-ride lots, Haché said the city should consider charging drivers $1 a day to park.

Many users drive into Ottawa from neighbouring municipalities, park in the lots for free and don’t contribute through taxes.

“It costs a lot of money to build those lots; it costs a lot of money to plow,” he said. “I think $1 a day to park in the lot would raise a couple million dollars for the city of Ottawa and it’s probably the best deal of parking anyone could find.”

Qadri said it’s an option the city could look at, but many users would argue they already pay for the service through transit charges.

Haché said he’d also like to see the city spend more on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

“There’s too many people being killed on our streets,” he said.

“The majority of streets aren’t safe places for people who walk or bike.”

A Stittsville resident countered the point and said the city already spends too much on cycling and “we shouldn’t waste any more money.”

ROADS AND TOLLS

Council voted earlier this month to move forward on asking the province to fund an environmental assessment of a truck tunnel that would keep trucks out of the downtown core.

The motion also asks for the environmental assessment to look at possible impacts of making the tunnel a toll road, a move Haché

GARBAGE AND CONTRACT

When it comes to garbage and landfills the city should look at a “pay-as-you-throw” fee to delay the need for a new dump site that would cost millions, said Haché.

“I look down my street and there’s a lot of people who aren’t putting out their recycling bins, they aren’t putting out their compost bins but they’re putting out 10 bags of garbage,” he said.

“That’s going to impact all taxpayers really fast if people are refusing to recycle, refusing to compost. One way to encourage them, and this is what many municipalities across the province

applauded and said should be looked at for other roads.

“We charge people a user fee to ride the bus every day – which is a wise environmental choice – we should be charging people a little bit more to be driving on the roads,” he said.

Others echoed the need to maintain the infrastructure the city already has. “The roads and the core infrastructure require more attention and they’re not getting it,” said Collins.

have done, is charge them above a certain amount (of bags).”

And when it comes to programs such as garbage collection, the city should bid on contracts the same way the private sector does and take capital costs into account, said Dale Harley, executive advisor of the National Capital Heavy Construction Association.

“On paper, it looks cheaper for the city,” said Harley, who doesn’t live within city limits. “If the city can collect garbage cheaper than the private sector, let them go ahead and do that. But if you’re going to award a contract on the basis of the cost, the city needs to take into consideration the capital costs associated with garbage collection.”

Harley said the city could save money as well by having builders connect houses to the city’s sewer and water line.

“Ottawa is one of the few jurisdictions in Ontario where it’s still done by municipal employees instead of the private contractor who’s already sitting there doing all the work,” he said.

BUDGET 2017

As evidenced by the suggestions put forward, the city faces tough decisions when it comes to creating a budget, said Moffatt.

“This table alone said spend more on cycling lanes and spend less on cycling lanes,” he said.

“We get all these comments and a lot of times they just don’t jive with one another.”

Councillors are hosting prebudget meetings across the city until Oct. 18. To see the list of upcoming dates, visit ottawa.ca/en/ city-budget-have-your-say.

The draft budget will be tabled at council on Nov. 9, followed by a review phase. The final budget is to be approved Dec. 14.

For more than a decade, the Beaverbrook man has been volunteering for various causes in the community and on Sept. 12 he was presented with the Frank Valentine Award during the Kanata Seniors Council annual general meeting.

“It was completely out of the blue,” he said. “There are so many people who volunteer. I’m honoured to be selected by the council.”

A past-president and former director of the seniors council, he was the driving force behind creating the annual Retirement Living Fair, which attracts hundreds of people to the local event; he was a key photography instructor, teaching his pupils how to get the most out of their digital cameras and photo-editing software; he also led numerous computer training sessions and on top of all that he also volunteers with the adult day program offered by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

Kay Dubie, who sat on the selection committee, said the council takes into consideration past service history,

contribution to the local and wider communities, and continued work with seniors.

Williamson certainly fit the bill.

In his eyes, however, that doesn’t single him out for recognition.

Williamson dedicated the award to all the volunteers at the seniors centre and in Kanata.

“I want to accept this on behalf of all of you because all of us together do so much to make this a better place,” he said.

He decided to take a break this year from his current volunteering duties and is asJESSICA CUNHA/Metroland sessing his options for what John Williamson (centre) is awarded the Frank Valentine Award for outstanding volunteerism with the Kanata Seniors he does next.

Time to go back to the drawing board

T

he proposal for a modern looking addition to the iconic Fairmont Château Laurier hotel brings to mind the old saying “I know it when I see it.”

Reaction has been swift and overwhelmingly negative to what is being proposed for the hotel site, which along with the Parliament buildings, is perhaps the most immediately recognizable building in the city to those who view Ottawa from afar and to those who live here. The Château Laurier’s “castle” motif is part of this city’s identity. And clearly in this case, the consensus is screaming loud and clear — don’t mess with that identity.

Mayor Jim Watson tweeted of the design, “This falls under the category ‘back to the drawing board.’”

Ouch!

Public reaction has been so negative that RideauVanier councillor Mathieu Fleury went from being seemingly gung-ho for the project to backpedalling fast from what appeared to be initial support.

The addition plan proposes to build new longterm stay suites, create a new exterior courtyard off the hotel’s ballroom for seasonal uses and replace an existing five-storey parking garage with underground

parking.

That sounds fine in theory except for how this will look. As always, the devil is in the details.

A spokesman for the company that owns the hotel told Metroland Media they may tweak the design proposal saying, “yes we will be making changes but not wholesale changes.”

At least that is the company line as of now. We’ll see.

That old saying “I know it when I see it” may have most famously been used in an American Supreme Court decision in the 1960s in an obscenity case that revolved around what is hardcore pornography. As in that case, it is all in the eye of the beholder.

And so far, except for a few notable exceptions such as the Lowertown Community Association’s planning committee chairman Peter Ferguson who is a fan of what is proposed — we, like the many residents, are less than impressed.

Do we know what a perfect addition design plan for the hotel should be? The honest answer to that would be no. But like many residents of this city, we’ll know it when we see it, and right now, we are just not seeing it.

Parkway narrowing proposal is met with mixed reviews

T

he notion of narrowing the west end of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway has resurfaced, with predictable results. Those who commute by car from the west end are fearful. Those who want to see fewer cars on the parkway are delighted.

And a lot of people are confused, partly about what the National Capital Commission is hoping to accomplish, and partly about the consequences of the action, should it be taken.

(This doesn’t count the people who are confused because they can’t remember what the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is and wonder what happened to the Western Parkway.)

There is a suspicion on the part of some Ottawans, including this one, that the NCC doesn’t see the parkway for what it really is — a major

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town thoroughfare carrying commuters to and from the west end. Instead, the NCC thinks of the parkway as a kind of glorified nature trail. This concept seemed to be behind the NCC’s firm opposition to the use of the parkway for light rail, a position that went beyond all logic and probably added considerably to the cost.

This thinking is also reflected in the commission’s idea of creating a nine-kilometre-long linear park, whatever that is, alongside the parkway, using some of the space freed up by the narrowing of the parkway.

Is this just craziness, you ask?

Isn’t there enough green space beside the parkway? Isn’t it already available for people to use? Obviously not everyone thinks so.

Well then, what about the traffic displaced from those vanishing lanes? Will the drivers who suddenly find the parkway too slow and too crowded simply pick other ways to get downtown? And what will those ways be? Can the Queensway handle still more cars? Or will there, instead, be fewer cars? This is the most dreamily optimistic way of looking at things. Some larger cities, London and New York, for example, have found that simply making it awful to drive downtown persuades people not to do so. There are still a lot of cars downtown in those cities, but not as many, and a lot of them are taxis.

Sheer inconvenience, combined with the eventual arrival of light rail,

could do the trick. At least that’s the hope.

Meanwhile, for west-enders it’s way too soon to panic. The NCC itself has no timetable. The narrowing is some years off. According to published reports, the commission is waiting to see what happens with light rail.

Further, as we’ve seen on many other occasions, the process of the NCC making up its mind is not a rapid one. Certain procedures must be followed. There will be consultations and adjustments and more consultations, for years and years.

And we already know that there is some adverse public opinion for the NCC to consider. A telephone survey conducted for the commission reveals substantial opposition to the plan among those who use the parkway. (And, as is always the way, those who live in other parts of town EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

think it’s all just ducky.)

Maybe everything will work out fine. Maybe light rail will cut down on car traffic that those lanes won’t be needed. Then, beside a near-carless parkway, we’ll have a nice long linear park. Don’t forget to use it.

How to help your kids in sport

L

ike all parents, I’ve made some pretty big errors when it comes to my kids’ sports. Earlier this summer, a night of allergies and fatigue, I got verbally angry with a coach during a practice on passing drills.

I was, frankly, belligerent.

But mostly, I was completely out of line for saying anything to the coach in the public sphere, nevermind my bad attitude.

I attempted to apologize later, but the damage was done– not just to my relationship with my coach, but also with my son.

Across the country, volunteer organizers are doing everything in their power to reign in parents’ on the sidelines of sport. I recently heard of a Toronto-area hockey league that makes a one-hour parent training session mandatory for registration.

In September, the head of the Gloucester Hornets soccer club, Mike Lanos, released a long overdue parents’ protocol guide, a 72-page book that outlines why kids are in sport and also why most of them end up quitting. (Spoiler alert — it’s because of the adults).

In the guide, we see the usual lament for the good old days of kids’ sport, when the offspring got kitted up in relatively simple gear to play a friendly match with their friends.

Over time, Lanos writes, kids’ sports became professionalized, with coaches and parents pushing for ever-longer training, more and better equipment and a play-to-win mentality.

Lanos reminds us how the belligerent parents on the sidelines are ruining sporting experiences for their children. And also how coaches, by picking super stars early on, cutting young kids in tryouts and failing to focus on longterm development, are stealing the value of sports from our kids.

By and large, adult interference and their stolen ownership of their kids’ pastimes has taken away

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse much of the good that can come out of sport. Sport is meant to be a way for kids to be active, have fun, gain confidence and learn some valuable life skills, like how to fail gracefully, along the way.

It’s also a long game — many kids who are small and weak at age nine have the potential to experience a growth spurt a few years later. Too often, however, parents and coaches are focusing on the immediate win, rather than the

‘There are many more subtle failings on our part that are slowly chipping away at our kid’s love of the game and potential to play for life. ‘ lifelong development of these kids, stumping their chances of success at a young age.

On the flip side, the kid that shows potential at six as a powerful striker may be pushed into specializing in a single sport, in a single position while his apparently less-talented buddies are benched for most of the game. For both the young star and those warming the bench, the value of learning to play multiple positions and multiple games is lost.

At some point, that young star will fail to shine and he won’t have the versatility of skills to keep going..

No surprise, notes Lanos, that more than 70 per cent

of children quit sport by age 14.

And hey, parents, our biggest sin is not as simple as coaching from the sidelines. There are many more subtle failings on our part that are slowly chipping away at our kid’s love of the game and potential to play for life. Many parents, myself included, have committed a few cardinal sins as outlined in the Hornets’ guide. Have you ever spent an entire car ride postmatch analyzing the ins and outs of the game? Or maybe you mentioned to your child that one of their teammates is a super star or a poor player. Have you criticized or praised coaches or other parents? Have you attempted to help your kid justify a loss by slamming the other team? Have you tried to motivate your child to get to practice by reminding them just how many hundreds of dollars you, personally, have invested?

All of the above steal ownership of the game from the kids and give it over to the parents. All of the above serve to remind kids that sport isn’t about having fun and learning skills — with some fun competition along the way — but that it’s about winning at all costs, putting on a performance for the parents and never learning to make their own decisions on the field.

Your kid may or may not have the potential to play pro sport — most pros don’t really start to shine until their late teens. For now, however, he just wants to play. So, for the love of sport, keep your ears open and your mouth shut and just let the kids enjoy the game.

It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

More Big Government Spending Kathleen Wynne’s recent Throne Speech included a promise to create 100,000 more public daycare positions for children aged 0-4 years. I believe that mothers and fathers are best qualified to look after their children – not the government. So I was skeptical about this from the beginning. But I found it strange that the government didn’t provide any further details.

Then I found out that the media were reporting what those 100,000 spaces would cost. It could be anything from about 2 to 4 billion dollars. This is a gigantic amount of spending. The government is also promising to rebate about $1 billion for hydro. When you add all this up, it’s obvious that the government isn’t serious about balancing the budget. But here’s an idea: if this government is so eager to get rid of money, why not just return it to families who can decide for themselves how to spend it to get the daycare services they need?

Seniors council celebrates ‘outstanding’ past year: president

BY Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The past year was a good one for the Kanata Seniors Council.

The volunteer organization hosted its annual general meeting on Sept. 12 to discuss the past 365 days and look ahead at what 2016-17 will bring.

“It’s been an outstanding year,” said Sarah Trant, seniors council president. “I just think that everybody should know a little bit about what the council does.”

The council reached a major milestone last year when it celebrated 20 years of operation, said Trant.

Council members and volunteers were the driving force behind the creation of the Kanata Seniors Centre. The two – the council and the centre – are separate entities but enjoy a close working relationship.

The council – which has around 1,000 people on its mailing list and is open to adults ages 55 and up – offers a plethora of popular programs and events for its members.

Over the past year, the council: • operated 16 trips for more than 200 clients • hosted eight travel presentations • introduced the “dine around” club with transportation to and from various restaurants outside of Kanata • launched a celebrity chef program • hosted 10 seminars on computers and communications • had 145 seniors take part in Far West Fun Fest • raised more than $3,200

One of the newest members of the Kanata Seniors Council exective, vice-president Michael Eva, introduces himself during the group’s AGM.

Kanata Seniors Council president Sarah Trant (left) discusses the group’s successes at its annual general meeting on Sept. 12. through its annual Retirement Living Fair “You can see we don’t all sit around meeting once a month and doing nothing, we are involved,” said Trant. “It’s a huge group of people who put things together.”

The council also sponsors the entire cost of the diners club hosted by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, which provides a weekly nutritional lunch and entertainment program for seniors and adults with disabilities in the community.

Looking ahead, the council wants to broaden its sponsorship net with retirement residences outside of the immediate community and is seeking team members to head up the challenge, said Trant.

The council will also focus on making its website more

user friendly and generate an active social media presence, including Facebook and Twitter.

“And if none of you know how to do this we have an excellent computer crew just waiting to teach you how to do it,” she said, adding that aside from teaching programs, the instructors also offer in-home help “with healing your computers.”

EXECUTIVE

About 60 people turned out for the AGM, hosted in the Owen Prince room (Prince, a member of the council, was the major force behind fundraising efforts for the centre) at the Mlacak Centre.

The council executive is: • President – Sarah Trant • Vice-president – Mike Eva

• Treasurer — Liz Tucker • Corporate secretary – Brenda Gorman • Member at large – Chris Valentine Trant said the council is open to new ideas and suggestions for the new year.

“If you have ideas, if you think we should be going in a different direction you know who we are,” she said.

“As your board we are here to work with you and serve you.”

The next seniors council meeting is Friday, Sept.

23, at 9 a.m. in the Owen Prince room at the Kanata Seniors Centre (2500 Campeau Dr.). Anyone is welcome to attend.

Bridlewood boy to compete in karate world championship

BY Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Eight-year-old Gabriel Bastien’s movements are so quick, snapshots are just a blur of movement as he demonstrates his karate moves in his family’s living room in Bridlewood.

Watching the fast and fancy footwork, the co-ordinated and practiced hand movements that send a bo staff, a martial arts weapon, exactly where he wants it is mesmerizing.

Taking lessons since he was three years old, Gabriel is quick, agile and well placed to compete as a member of Team Canada at the Unified World Championships in Italy next month. He will take part in eight divisions in the under-nine category.

“I was really happy and excited,” said Gabriel about learning he had a spot on the team. “I’m trying to get the gold medal, the championship.”

He had no idea he was in the running to compete in the world championship, which runs from Oct. 25 to 30. The selection process is based on a competitor’s results in a number of tournaments.

“It was more just a surprise, I didn’t even know about this,” said Gabriel.

“My coach, who’s the president of WKA (World Kickboxing and Karate Association) Canada … he gave me

Currently, he’s the North American Sport Karate Association national champion in the eight-to-nine year-old division.

To practice for the world

championships, Gabriel, who is at the brown belt level, is competing against older black belts – and he’s winning. Over the Sept. 1011 weekend, he placed second in a tournament in Kansas City in a U13 black belt competition.

He’s also the first non-black belt to get sponsorship with the National Martial Arts Circuit for team MMAC, said his mother, Stephanie.

“It’s pretty crazy, we put him in karate to learn how to do push ups and how to do jumping jacks,” she said. “Now its

Ladies make final push to fundraise for 2017 World Masters Games

BY Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

A fastball team of 16 local women called the Ottawa Valley Strong Ladies Fastball Team - formerly Team Auckland - has been working towards their goal of competing at the 2017 World Masters Games in New Zealand since 2013.

A dream three years in the making is just a few months away from becoming reality for 16 local women.

The Ottawa Valley Strong Ladies Fastball Team, comprised of 16 women from Kanata, West Carleton and surrounding areas, are on track to attend the 2017 World Masters Games in New Zealand this April.

“We’ve been working towards this for a long time,” said Jayne Coady, a team member.

“We have said from the beginning that we are going to get there.”

Ottawa Valley Strong formed their team back in 2013 when

they were just a group of women looking to play amateur fastball. They have been competing locally since then.

In the almost four years since their first practice, the ladies have raised tens of thousands of dollars to help them with their goal of competing at the World Masters Games. Of the $80,000 they need to get the whole team to Auckland, N.Z., they have just $11,000 left to raise.

Cue their upcoming fundraiser: the Women in Sport dinner is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Kinburn Community Centre (3045 Kinburn Side Rd.) starting at 5:30 p.m.

At $35 per ticket, the evening includes a dinner of roast beef or salmon cooked by none other than West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and served by the fastball ladies.

Guests of the event will also be treated to live music performed by local singer Gail Gavan and silent and live auctions by auctioneer Brian Corbin.

“We are making our final push to raise funds for the Games,” Coady said. “We’re just hoping to hit our mark and be able to fly.”

MASTERS GAMES GOALS

Getting to the 2017 World Masters Games has always been in the back of the Ottawa Valley Strong’s minds.

Coady and her teammates have been fundraising since shortly after they formed together, hosting everything from quilt raffles and craft fairs to paint nights and comedy shows at Yuk Yuk’s.

The World Masters Games is a multi-sport event held every four years for athletes who have reached “masters” age over 35.

The event mirrors the Olympic Games, hosting summer and winter Games with opening and closing ceremonies. Athletes must be amateurs to compete.

While there is no qualifying process to attend the World

Masters Games, there is an involved application process that the Ottawa Valley Strong had to go through. They had to prove they were a unified team that has been competing in their area.

In Auckland, the ladies will be competing against 22 other teams – but only one other Canadian team.

“We’re sort of representing the whole Ottawa area,” Coady said of being one of just two Canadian fastball teams competing.

The team is currently working on getting new uniforms and other final-stretch details in place ahead of the Games in April.

To purchase tickets in support of the Ottawa Valley Strong’s trip to Auckland for the Games, contact Coady at 613-293-7262 or Heather Kirk at 613-296-4195.

Too many parcels of land outside the greenbelt have sat vacant, prompting the city to hire a consultant company to conduct a review of the properties zoned for employment.

Too many parcels of land outside the greenbelt are sitting vacant, prompting the city to hire a consultant to conduct a review of the properties zoned for employment.

The city had a policy of maintaining a rate of 1.3 jobs

per household, but that practice didn’t always extend to neighbourhoods such as Barrhaven, Riverside South and Orléans.

Lands designated for manufacturing and warehousing just didn’t attract businesses, the city’s planning committee heard on Sept. 13.

Among the recommenda-

tions were some land re-designations in business parks from employment lands to general use.

“It’s a real city-building exercise,” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said.

But some local entrepreneurs aired their concerns.

Dennis Eberhard, the senior vice-president of SmartREIT, which owns a large parcel of land in the South Orléans employment area, off of Innes Road near the proposed Vanguard Drive extension, said he’s concerned about the extension of Innes Road as an arterial main street.

“It would hinder the ability to add to density to a significant portion of land on Innes,” he said.

Eberhard said the city would do better rezoning some of the industrial land on the site.

“The value of industrial land in Orléans is between $200- and $250,000 per acre,” he said.

Lloyd Phillips, a planning consultant who spoke on behalf of SmartReit, said the study is being done without a comprehensive review of all the impacts.

The report recommends a move to more compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented development and intensification requirements. The plan works on the assumption that the city will be home to more than 1.1 million people by 2031 and there will be 703,000 jobs – 128,000 more than now.

The majority of the growth, 44 per cent, would be in major office positions.

The current employment land supply outside the greenbelt is 1,020 hectares, which is a surplus of anywhere from 219 to 308 hectares until 2036.

But designated employment areas inside the greenbelt are almost

filled up – with only seven per cent vacancy.

The report says that over the long term, new suburban industrial parks with good highway access will be needed.

The report names four employment areas well positioned to attract employment: • 416 Business Park/ Citigate Employment Area in Barrhaven, • Riverside South Employment Area, bounded

by Leitrim and River Road, • Albion Leitrim Employment Area, and • South Orléans Employment Area, off of Innes, near the proposed Vanguard Drive extension.

Additionally they identified enterprise areas in Kanata West, near Campeau Drive and Highway 417, Kanata South, in the area of Michael Cowpland Drive and Hazeldean Side Road, the Kanata North Business Park area, Bells Corners and a parcel of land owned by Brigil properties near Highway 174 and Petrie Island.

Another consultant Murray Chown, took issue with the lands in the 416 business park.

“The recommendation is limited to between Moodie Drive and the 416,” he said. “It doesn’t identify the potential of the interchange. We are supposed to be planning for the future, not the status quo.”

Among his criticisms, is the lack of study around lands designated for agricultural uses.

Harder said it was a council direction to staff that stopped them from considering lands designated agricultural.

! % 0 9 o T SaveUp

The city is also currently conducting a land evaluation and area review (LEAR), which will study soil capability for agriculture, land use and parcel size.

The LEAR is to be presented to council in December.

Both studies would be amendments to the city’s official plan and would require council approval.

Frank Bilodeau and Kathleen Kemp were named as cochairs for the 2016-17 United Way campaign on Sept. 14.

Kemp, who is the charity’s youngest ever co-chair, is the di-

rector of social enterprise business development for the Centre for Innovative Social Enterprise Development. Prior to Kemp, the youngest chair was RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

“I’m honoured to be involved this year and hope to encourage people to get involved

in their community through United Way,” Kemp said.

“United Way is doing incredible work to help and support some of the city’s most vulnerable and I am excited to be involved.”

Community campaign launch set for Sept. 29 Continued from page 21

In their roles as cochairs Bilodeau and Kemp will lead a team of business, government, institutional, labour and other sector leaders to help oversee the efforts of more than 14,000 volunteers.

Bilodeau, who is the district vice president for Scotiabank in Ottawa and west Quebec, said he’s been involved in the community for many years.

“I believe that for our city to be great, it has to be great for everyone,” he said.

“It’s exciting to take on this important role. I look forward to encouraging people to give generously and help change lives in Ottawa.”

This year’s community campaign launch takes place on Sept. 29 at the Aberdeen Pavilion.

Mayor Jim Watson said the role of co-chair involves a deep commitment to the community and a dedication to making Ottawa a better place.

“The city is proud to host this event at city hall, as we recognize the outgoing United Way co-chairs, and welcome their successors,” Watson said.

“I’m particularly proud to recognize Ottawa police Chief Bordeleau, who has demonstrated that the role of police chief involves not only managing the police force, but working with the entire community to ensure that Ottawa is a great place to live for everyone.”

Dunrobin solar facility featured on green energy tour

BY Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

There’s a lot of power being generated by solar panels in Dunrobin.

On Sunday, Sept. 11, the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op offered a chance for Ottawa residents to tour one of their largest, communityfinanced solar power arrays – located right in the heart of Dunrobin.

“We offered the tour as a way to promote renewable energy in the Ottawa area,” said David Mazur-Goulet, communications associate with OREC. “Not a lot of people realize the scale of our projects there.”

At 980 Vances Side Rd., a 250-kilowatt installation of 1140 solar panels sits atop a 20,000 square-foot private boat storage facility.

The $2 million project was installed by OREC and partner Windmill Development Group in 2012, contracted

under the first round of Feedin-Tariff (FIT) contracts offered by the Ontario Power Authority.

The Dunrobin project generates close to 300,000-kilowatt hours of energy each year, for which the Ontario Power Authority pays a rate of $0.713 per kilowatt hour.

The tour was offered as part of an annual rotating schedule that coincides with Green Energy Doors Open, a province-wide, year-round campaign by the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association the promotes renewable and sustainable energy.

OREC chooses a different Ottawa-area facility to showcase each year.

RURAL EXPANSION

According to a release from OREC, the organization is hoping to build three new solar power projects in the Leeds & Grenville and Renfrew County areas.

Royal’s new concurrent disorder program results in layoffs ing rejigged, said Dr. Raj Bhatla, psychologist-in-chief at the medical centre.

It’s part of a larger restructuring at the Royal that started in December 2013, when the centre added several services, including a regional opioid intervention service, a transitional youth service and a rapid access alcohol management program.

When developing the program, the Royal investigated services in British Columbia, Alberta and other parts of Ontario to see what services are being offered to patients with complex concurrent disorders.

“It’s been a gap in our system across Canada for a substantial period of time, so we are making a concerted effort to fill the gaps that we have. It’s a specific gap that can be filled by the Royal,” Bhatla said.

He said the existing Meadow Creek program overlapped with

As many as 14 employees at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre could lose their jobs because of a restructuring of the institution’s substance use and concurrent disorder program, when a patient has mental health issues and an addiction.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union released a statement on Sept. 13 about its members receiving layoff notices, including five regular, two part-time and seven casual employees.

According to OPSEU Local 479 president Marlene Rivier, the fulltime employees have more than 100 years of combined experience.

“I’ve been rather perplexed by the employer’s conclusion that they need to simply lay off all of these people and hire new ones,” Rivier said of

“It’s a very important program for

services offered elsewhere in the community and it wasn’t properly addressing the needs of people struggling with both mental health and substance abuse issues.

“Instead of having a program that deals primarily with addictions and a little bit of mental health, it becomes a true concurrent sort of program,” Bhatla said of the change.

He said the former program was considered “concurrent disorder light,” and after consulting with the patients’ charts who were accessing the 28-day program, the need was evident for more intertwined services that would address mental health issues at the same time as a patient’s addiction.

Those currently in the Meadow Creek program will complete the program and the Royal is committed to one year of follow-up service while it transitions to its new program, Bhatla said.

“No doubt people want it to continue but I do know however that it did not truly meet the needs of the concurrent disorder sufferers in our region.”

Because of the diverse needs of those in the program, he said more diverse staff is required, including some addictions counsellors and the addition of psychologists, nurses and social workers.

“So we want a diversity of services to meet what will be a diverse population with more mental health needs.”

The new program will provide specialized treatment to better help a shifting population, Bhatla said, but he recognized not all those who previously had access to Meadow Creek will fit into the new concurrent disorder program, leaving some looking for treatment options. He said those options can be found at Montfort Renaissance – a community health organization offering mental health, addictions and housing services.

Bhatla wouldn’t confirm the number of layoffs occurring because of the restructuring, saying the Royal takes its human resource obligations seriously and will look to find them other opportunities.

“We don’t underestimate this is a difficult transition both for our staff and people who have historically been through the program and benefitted, so we certainly are not underestimating that Meadow Creek has been a good program but as all things they do evolve,” Bhatla said.

“We understand some of the angst as well.”

Parliament Hill goes gold for childhood cancer

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Parliament Hill was lit in gold on Saturday, Sept. 17, as a symbol of hope for those diagnosed with childhood cancer.

The Gold on the Hill event called for a national strategy in the treatment of childhood cancers and support for families. The event brings together national organizations, advocates, politicians and families from across Canada who are united in raising awareness for the need for more research and funding for treatment, said Jenny Doull, co-founder of the event.

Her daughter, Phoebe Rose, died last November at age five after battling an aggressive form of infant leukemia. She was diagnosed at nine weeks old.

“That was completely devastating,” said Doull, who lives in Overbrook. “I think when you’re in a situation like we were and you see so much tragedy and loss and suffering – these kids go through so much – it’s hard to not do something.

So we do what we can.”

Every year, the event focuses on key issues that affect children with cancer, said Doull.

They are: • A lack of funding – only three per cent of the budget for cancer research from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research goes to childhood cancer, which is not enough, she said.

• A lack of cross-country

access to treatment – children in Canada “don’t have equal and fair access to treatment,” said Doull. Instead, they can often only access what treatment is available in their home province.

• The need for a national strategy to support survivors.

Those who do survive childhood cancers face an increased risk of other health issues as they age, she said, and there is no support strategy to help.

“Ironically, for the last four years the issues haven’t changed,” said Doull.

When Phoebe Rose received a terminal diagnosis in 2011, the family lobbied the Ontario government for funding for clinical trial treatments in the United States.

“A lot of the treatments in clinical trials were a lot gentler (than chemotherapy),” said Doull. “It gives them a better quality of life.”

The treatment was scheduled to come to Sick Kids hospital in Toronto but wasn’t yet available, “and we didn’t have time to wait,” said Doull. The ground-breaking treatments helped Phoebe Rose achieve two remissions, before she relapsed.

Thanks to her family’s advocating, Sick Kids and the government came to agreement to fund the procedure as if it were taking place in Toronto, an agreement that still stands today, said Doull. However, that agreement is only for residents of Ontario.

And it’s not just accessing

treatments outside of Canada that is nearly impossible; there is no system in place to allow Canadian children to access early phase clinical trials outside their home province, she said.

“Phoebe passed away last year in November but we’ve spent about four years and a bit away, back and forth from home, in the U.S., because we had run out of treatment options in Canada,” said Doull.

“We pursued other options, and she lived four-and-a-half years after the diagnosis. It’s never going to be enough but it’s a heck of a lot more than what we were offered.”

The Doulls launched a foundation in Phoebe’s name committed to funding for research.

“We’re committed to giving families as much time as possible,” said Doull. “Phoebe taught us a lot of things; among them was not to give up. And she’s not here but if no one else has to go through what we’ve gone through then we’ve done something good.”

Phoebe’s sister Mae, 7, has been a tireless advocate for those diagnosed with childhood cancers. As a junior kindergarten student in 2013, she stood in front of all her fellow Manor Park Public School students and told them about her sister.

This year, she wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, inviting him to the event.

“Mae, she was with Phoe-

Hope present at Gold on the Hill event Hope was present at the Gold on the Hill event on Saturday, Sept. 17.

Hope is the newest puppet creation of Sarah Argue, founder of Rock the Arts and a supporter of the event that raises awareness about childhood cancers.

Argue created Hope and launched the #Ihope4 project on social media, which asked people to share their hopes when it comes to ending childhood cancers using the hashtag #Ihope4.

“Jenny (Doull) writes this fantastic blog and I meet all these kids that are fighting the battle of cancer,” said Argue, a former Kanata resident who now lives in Carp.

“I just feel like they’re all filled with hope and positivity that cancer can be beat if we get the right people on their side. Hope is that puppet that brings a face to their cause, Hope makes sure their voices are heard.”

The sentiment has been shared thousands of times across multiple social media platforms.

More funding, more research and more time are high on the list of hopes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted his hope although he wasn’t able to attend the event: “research breakthroughs to a cure.”

“I think that’s pretty awesome that we are getting this issue heard across Canada,” said Argue. “If we’re heard by the government, then these facts can change.”

“She misses her sister a lot and she understands more than any seven-year-old should about loss and heartache. She knows, in an innocent way, that the government should be doing more, which is why she wanted to write to

Justin Trudeau.”

Although he was unable to attend, the PM wrote a letter back wishing Mae luck “as she leads the fight against cancer,” said Doull.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame is set to induct four new members including the Countrymen, who have been one of this area’s most popular bands for 55 years.

The induction will be held at a gala ceremony hosted by two Valley Heritage Radio personalities at the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean on Sunday, Sept. 25.

Valley Heritage radio general manager Jason Marshall and afternoon DJ Christa Pare will serve as emcees at the gathering that begins at 7 p.m.

Following in the footsteps of Mac Beattie, the very first musician inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981, are the Countrymen, Gord Barnes, Clarence Bowes and the late Jim Hickey.

They will be inducted in the Hall of Fame’s 35th anniversary awards show and induction ceremonies.

In addition to recognizing the lifetime contributions of the four inductees, the event’s organizers promise country music fans an evening of some of the best entertainers the Ottawa Valley has to offer.

“We’re excited about our 35th anniversary show and we can promise you a great evening of entertainment as we induct our 2016 Hall of Fame members,” said the Hall of Fame organization’s president Jim Long. “We will be recognizing their many achievements and contributions that have furthered country music in our community.”

The Countrymen are celebrating their 55th year together in 2016, having formed in June of

1961. The original members included singer Glenn Toner, Kent Smith on guitar, Bob Johnston on drums and fiddler Al Roach.

Al Brisco then joined the band a few weeks later and they began to play the Matawatchan Dance Hall every Saturday night.

The band then toured the bar circuit in West Quebec and made a name for themselves as great entertainers.

Through the years a number of very talented musicians have been part of the band, including a number of Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members.

The Countrymen have also helped raise money for a number of local charities through the years.

CLARENCE BOWES

Bowes knew from the time he was a young lad that coun-

try music would play a role in his life.

He fell in love with the sounds of Don Messer and Eddy Arnold coming from his radio, and further cemented his passion by watching local bands such as The Happy Wanderers and Mac Beattie. Bowes still loves that type of music and plays it to this day.

He now plays lead and rhythm guitar with his four sons, The Bowes Brothers.

They tour the Valley far and wide and Clarence takes an enormous amount of pride in their success.

Before joining his sons in 2000, Clarence was a member of Jim White and the Country Pals, mainstays at the Perth Legion every Saturday night for a decade.

He vows he will continue to keep playing music as long as folks enjoy it.

Countrymen to become Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Famers

Marianne Wilkinson

Barnes grew up in a country music home, and he fell in love with playing guitar and performing at age 10.

By the time he was 15 he was playing venues across the Ottawa Valley with his step-father Art Simpson.

It was in 1988 that Barnes and Laredo was formed, and they toured all over Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Barnes released a self-titled CD in 1991 and another in 2014.

He plans to record a third CD very soon.

Through the years he has shared the stage with artists including Stonewall Jackson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Moe Bandy, Tommy Cash and Marty Haggard.

Barnes and his wife Gail have two children – Derek and Natalie – and are expecting their first grandchild this fall.

JIM HICKEY

The late Jim Hickey was a long-time musician who translated his love of fiddle music into one of the premier contests in the country.

He was a co-founder of the Pembroke Old Time Fiddling and Step Dancing Contest, which recently celebrated its 41st year.

Hickey’s reputation and gentlemanly ways became synonymous with the Labour Day weekend event.

Prior to the contest, Hickey was a competitive fiddler himself and travelled the region with the Art Jamieson Band, sharing his joy of music with the people of the Ottawa Valley.

He also composed the fiddle tune ‘The Willow Tree Hornpipe’, which was recorded by the late Graham Townsend and others.

In addition to the induction ceremonies, some of the Valley’s most talented entertainers, including Barnes, Bowes and the Countrymen, will take to the stage at Centrepointe throughout the evening.

The line-up also includes a host of other local performers.

Tickets cost $40 per person.

Eid al-Adha Celebration It was great to celebrate Eid al-Adha on September 12th with Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and friends at the Ottawa Mosque. I was so happy to have spent time speaking with so many men and women at the Eid event. Imam Samy Metwally and the Ottawa Muslim Association have done so much for our community including blood clinics, food drives, and other important initiatives.

Christine Lagarde I was absolutely thrilled to meet the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, on September 13th to discuss important issues. As the first woman to become the finance minister of a G8 economy, and to become the head of the IMF, she is an inspiration to so many women and girls everywhere. During our meeting with colleagues we discussed our government’s economic program, and I was very happy to hear her praise for the program. We also talked about ways to provide more opportunities for women to attain senior leadership positions in business and government.

Carp Fair I am really looking forward to attending the “Best Little Fair in Canada” in Carp from September 22nd to 25th. As always there will be something for everyone – great live music, delicious food, contests and raffles, and agricultural shows where you can see all kinds of beautiful farm animals.

I hope that you will join me for the 153rd annual Carp Fair!

Premier Wynne tours Hydro Ottawa, touts electricity rebate

BY Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne had a glimpse of the inner workings of Ottawa Hydro during a visit to the city on Sept. 16.

Wynne was joined by Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, OttawaOrléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Hydro Ottawa CEO Bryce Conrad.

The premier’s trip to Ottawa came days after her government announced plans to offer a new rebate on electricity in Ontario.

Amid growing criticism over the high cost of electricity in the province, the provincial government pledged in a Sept. 12 Throne Speech to reinstate an eight per cent

tax rebate on electricity bills.

The rebate amounts to the provincial portion of the HST and is expected to save a typical household $130 a year.

Wynne used her Hydro Ottawa tour as well as stops at the National Gallery of Canada and the Kanata Seniors Centre as an opportunity to tout the rebate in Ottawa.

“I’ve heard from people in the Ottawa region and in every region across the province that it’s become too much,” Wynne said of the cost of electricity in Ontario. “And we’ve listened to those concerns, because it’s not just an electricity issue.

People need more help with the cost of living, and it’s our job to give people that break wherever we can.”

The rebate would go into

effect Jan. 1, affecting 5 million residential consumers.

Eligible rural customers would receive a larger rebate in the form of lowered rural delivery charges, saving $540 a year.

“We’ve recognized that there needs to be a change,” Wynne said. “And that’s exactly why we’ve made the changes that we announced in the throne speech.”

But not everyone is buying what the premier is selling.

In an open letter to Wynne, Osgood Coun. George Darouze highlighted the disparity between Hydro Ottawa customers’ bills and those of Hydro One customers. The rural Ottawa councillor said many Hydro One customers in Ontario face a daily choice “between feeding their families and turning on the lights.”

“Removing the eight per cent HST from hydro bills is no more than a small BandAid on a much larger wound,” Darouze wrote, adding that the move would only serve to decrease provincial revenue while allowing Hydro One to continue gouging rural customers.

“Not only does this not address the gap between Hydro One rate payers and Hydro Ottawa rate payers, it does not correct the issue at its core.”

Darouze, who plans to present a petition entitled Fair Hydro for Ottawa to the Ontario legislature in

the fall, said more needs to be done to make the cost of hydro more equitable.

“I urge you to take serious and immediate action towards correcting the erroneous cost of hydro rates under Hydro One,” he said. “We deserve a real and substantive solution.”

Premier Kathleen Wynne spoke about the provincial government’s proposed electricity tax rebate during a tour of Hydro Ottawa’s control room on Sept. 16. Wynne’s government announced an eight per cent electricity bill rebate on Sept. 12.

Brief Background As part of the review of the City’s Official Plan in 2013, Council undertook to further review the Employment Land polices and Employment Land supply. The consultants hired to undertake that review have finalised their report and have made recommendations for changes to the City’s Official Plan. Information on this project is also available on the city website at ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

At the request of the Ontario Municipal Board the City is also reviewing the population and housing projections to the year 2036. Population and housing projections form the basis for the timeframe of the Official Plan and the assessment of land needs for housing and employment. The Official Plan may be updated to incorporate the final projections and a 2036 planning horizon.

This Open House provides an opportunity for the public to view the possible changes recommended for the Employment Lands and the proposed projections and to ask questions of City staff before these matters are considered by the Council.

Federal funding will result in city spending: treasurer

Ottawa city council will ask the province to fund an environmental assessment of a truck tunnel that would stretch from the Vanier Parkway exit of Highway 417, under Sandy Hill and Lowertown, to King Edward Avenue near the MacDonald-Cartier Bridge.

Tunnel study to look at banning trucks from downtown core Environmental assessment will also look at impact of toll option

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

City council voted on Sept.

14 to move forward and have Mayor Jim Watson ask the province to fund an environmental assessment of a truck tunnel that would stretch from the Vanier Parkway exit of Highway 417, under Sandy Hill and Lowertown, to King Edward Avenue near the MacDonald-Cartier Bridge.

The city released a feasibility study for the tunnel in August.

It would be 3.4 kilometres long and costs were estimated to be between $1.7- and $2 billion.

A motion by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley directed staff to explore the feasibility of banning all trucks from the core, with the exceptions of those making a local delivery.

The motion also asks for the environmental assessment to look at possible impacts of making the tunnel a toll road.

His Kanata colleague Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson wanted to

get on the issue sooner rather than later.

Wilkinson said the tunnel wouldn’t be built for nearly a decade in the best case scenario.

“We need a plan to deal with the problem in the short term,” she said.

Several councillors quibbled over the nitty gritty.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans said the money for the tunnel would come from upper levels of government and questioned why the city would worry about tolls at this point.

“If we aren’t going to come up with capital money to build the tunnel, why are we building in a presumption that we would maintain it?” Deans asked.

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington asked how long before an environmental assessment goes “stale” and wondered if all other options had been explored.

“If this EA is not going to consider other options, when do we consider other options,” he asked.

Staff said the city would have 10 years to work out an agreement with higher levels of government before an assessment would have to be renewed.

Watson said other options have been explored.

“It’s either a bridge or a tun-

nel,” he said. “You can’t use a gondola or attach wings to trucks, and we’ve rejected the bridge idea several times.”

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said there’s simply no money for a $2 billion tunnel, but he ultimately voted in favour of moving forward with the assessment.

“It makes sense to invest money in an EA if there’s potential for upper levels of government to fund the tunnel at a higher rate than a third (of the cost),” he said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu said a lot of people have done the legwork to find a solution.

“There have been 14 bridges and crossings studied,” he said, adding there were five different levels of government needed to agree.

“Now we are only working with two levels,” he said. “It’s an Ottawa problem and we are finding an Ottawa solution.”

The only holdout was Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish.

“A bridge would be half the cost and a better solution,” he said. “This is a simple, political solution, it won’t fix the problem,” he said of tunneling in Sandy Hill. “Sandy Hill is called Sandy Hill for a reason.”

City treasurer Marian Simulik says the list of city projects will result in the city spending an additional $10 million they haven’t accounted for.

The federal government announced a list of transit-related infrastructure projects that would be funded, to a total of $156 million. City staff had to hastily put together the wish list of projects over a threeday period in late July, council heard on July 25.

A few of the councillors – namely Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans – expressed frustration with the fact that they weren’t consulted over the list. Deans went so far as to suggest the issue be taken up during the mid-term governance review.

“There are 24 members of council, not just one,” she said.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said if a wish list had

been circulated to councillors, the Prince of Wales Bridge would have been at the top of his list.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said she’d like to see staff develop a business case for the Prince of Wales Bridge so the city can take advantage of future federal funding.

of the municipal act.

The list of projects, which range from stage two light rail, to paving rural roads, was a good mix, insisted Mayor Jim Watson.

“My role was to look at the list from a geographic point of view, to make sure the projects weren’t all in one part of the city,” he said.

‘There was no queue jumping, no cherry picking by ward.’

Mayor Jim Watson

The projects were selected in part, based on their stages of completion. Deans said she realizes it was summer, but there’s no reason councillors couldn’t have been given a heads up via email.

But city solicitor Rick O’Connor said sending out emails on the issue could be interpreted as a closed meeting and cause the city to run afoul

“There was no queue jumping, no cherry picking by ward, there was a decision of projects that make the most operational sense.”

Watson said while the city wasn’t anticipating to spend the $10 million, he wasn’t in a position to “turn down $156 million.”

The list was approved unanimously by council.

Ottawa Champions celebrate league title at city hall rally Ottawa’s ball players really are champions

BY Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A more fitting song may never be played.

Queen’s “We Are the Champions” was played at Ottawa city hall on Sept.

19 as the Ottawa Champions baseball team are now champions in the literal sense and just not in name only.

The ball club roared back after dropping the first two games at home in the bestof-five Can-Am League championship series to win three straight on the road to capture the championship title over the weekend.

Mayor Jim Watson welcomed the team — and the championship trophy, sticky with beer from celebrations — to city hall on Sept. 19 to

honour the team’s championship run in just the club’s second year in the league.

“They were down two games, but they went to Rockland and won it all,” Watson said of the team’s victory over the Rockland Boulders.

The team was given a standing ovation from those in attendance at the city hall victory rally, many of whom wore Champions gear and were eager to get autographs from the players. Watson also officially proclaimed Sept. 19 to be Ottawa Champions Day in the city.

Watson spoke about the team’s community involvement, including supporting the Miracle League field in Navan that allows children and adults with disabilities to play baseball on an accessible field.

Ottawa Champions president David Gourlay said he hopes the team is just get-

ting started, and can repeat as champs next season.

Paul Miller, from Beacon Hill, was one of the many fans and supporters that showed up to congratulate the team, and get autographs.

He said it’s an easy team to support because of their community work and the great game atmosphere over at ghe ballpark the team calls home. He’s been to about 15 games this year — and wishes he could have been to more.

“I hope this is really just something to build upon,” Miller said.

Outfielder and hitting coach Sébastien Boucher, originally from Gatineau but now an Orléans resident, thanked all the fans for showing up.

“We had some ups, we had some downs, but you were always there to cheer us on,” he said. “We tried to get this for you.”

Mayor disses Chateau Laurier expansion design

BY Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Despite some negative comments about a proposed new addition to the iconic Fairmont Château Laurier hotel, the Lowertown Community Association’s planning committee is impressed.

The Capital Hotel Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Vancouver’s Larco Investments Ltd. and owner of the Château Laurier, announced on Sept. 14 a plan to expand the downtown hotel.

The plan proposes to build new long-term stay suites, create a new exterior courtyard off the ballroom for seasonal uses and replace an existing five-storey parking garage with an underground parking lot with 400 spaces.

Art Phillips, director of development at Larco Investments, said the expansion will add 180 apartments to the hotel, which will be designed to be larger than the hotel’s current rooms in an effort to appeal to guests considering longer stays in the capital.

The design of the expansion, however, is in stark contrast to the castle motif the hotel is historically known for and has come under some intense criticism, including from Mayor Jim Watson.

Designed by architect Peter Clewes, he said it is an

According to Larco Investments, owner and operator of the Fairmont Château Laurier the goal throughout this process has been to maintain the beauty of Ottawa’s “Castle,” marrying together modern day amenities with the hotel’s historic charm. opportunity to do something amazing, adding the design creates a sense of separation from the current building and allows the expansion to have its own street identity.

Two large glass structures will replace the current fivestorey concrete parking garage.

Since the plan was made public, there has been no shortage of naysayers in the city who through Twitter have called the design everything from ugly to boxy and horrible. Watson tweeted: “This falls under the cat-

egory back to the drawing board.”

Area councillor, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury was quoted in Larco Investment’s presentation, stating “It’s an exciting project that introduces captivating architectural design to this important site for our capital city, while highlighting its important heritage value and location near the Parliament Buildings,” Fleury has since retracted this statement.

“I’m retracting my quote in that format, that was a mis-

take, and I would never do that again. It gave an endorsement to the design, when it was meant to endorse the project as a whole,” Fleury said on Sept.

16. “I retract my statement specifically for the context and design but stand firm that this is an important site.” Fleury added he feels the public needs to see the entire presentation and and moving forward be properly consulted throughout the process. Fleury said Phillips has committed to him that they would consult with the public in November.

However, the Lowertown Community Association’s planning committee chairman Peter Ferguson is a fan.

“My personal opinion is I think it’s really a pretty dramatic thing,” Ferguson said. “I think part of all the negative

reactions is uncertainty. People need to digest what is coming along.”

Ferguson said he would tell his community that the overall project is bold and innovative.

“The report back is going to be positive and of course subject to the back and forth of the LCA residents,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson represented the LCA as one of the community groups who received a special stakeholders presentation of the plan on Sept. 14. Other groups in attendance included Heritage Ottawa and the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area.

According to Ferguson, the meeting was positive.

“I think overall everyone was really impressed,” he said.

Ferguson was also present at the Urban Design Review

CENTREPOINTE THEATRES PRESENTS

panel where Larco Investments first presented its plan, which was supportive of the design.

Ferguson did add there could be some changes made, stating the roof-line blocks the copper spires of the main building.

The Château Laurier was built in 1913 and over the years has undergone many changes, including adding a parking garage to the building in the 1960s.

According to Larco Investments, the garage needs to be replaced and because of a growing need for long-term stay hotels in the city, they decided to propose an expansion.

Ferguson said he intends to have Larco Investments make a presentation at its upcoming October monthly meeting, so Lowertown residents can see for themselves what the project entails.

“This will be a way for residents to see the presentation in its entirety,” he said.

Larco Investments said it will be submitting an official site plan to the city as early as November to seek approval from the National Capital Commission and the city.

The aim is, Phillips said, is to have approvals by early 2017 and construction is planned to start in the fall of next year.

Construction could take between 26 to 30 months to complete with the proposed suites ready for occupation by 2020.

No costs associated with construction or the suites have been determined at this time, Phillips said.

Regarding some of the negative comments that have been made so far, Phillips said, “yes we will be making changes but not wholesale changes.” #CTCOMEDY

City to focus on critical social housing repairs $16.2 million windfall from the federal and provincial governments

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city will use the $16.2 million received from the federal-provincial Social Housing Improvement Plan to address a backlog of critical repairs like broken elevators, unsafe balconies and stairs and collapsing brick walls.

The repair list spending will total $18.7 million – with the city kicking in an additional $3.3 million from the housing and homelessness investment plan.

Despite the extra cash from the feds and the province, it’s not nearly enough to

address the city’s aging social housing stock.

There are currently 54 social housing providers citywide. City staff have received more than 200 proposals from landlords, requesting work that adds up to more than $38 million, the community and protective services committee heard on Sept. 15.

Social Services general manager Janice Burelle said $5.7 million should take care of the most critical repairs, those that could potentially affect the

A 30-year-old man turned himself into police on Sept. 14 in relation to an ATM robbery back in July.

Police charged Dillon Trauter with one count of robbery after he surrendered at police headquarters on Elgin Street.

He was to appear in court on Sept. 15.

Police had released photos the previous day seeking to identify the suspect in a July 16 robbery in which a woman was approached by a man while using an ATM in the 1400-block of Merivale Road. He then fol-

housing stock. During the committee meeting RideauRockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum posed a question on behalf of his colleague Coun.

Jeff Leiper.

“Will the housing providers be given a budget to deal with the new units?” he asked.

Burelle said staff will find money in the budget.

“The project won’t move forward until we do,” she said.

The province’s downloading of the social housing portfolio is partly to blame for the backlog of repairs. Even though the current government has taken back the responsibility, both parties are still playing

catch up.

Burelle said she expects the city will see some cash from the province and the federal government in future years – but the city’s annual repair budget of $19 million is an estimated $22 million short.

The city has a total of 18,500 social housing units, worth about $3.7 billion.

Police are still hoping to speak with a victim of a July 15 ATM robbery at the same location.

If your corporation is audited by the CRA and matters, such as the declaration of dividends, have not been formally documented by a written resolution of the directors or in annual minutes, the consequence can be severe. There are other risks that may be avoided by having minutes prepared annually. This is analogous to your dentist who encourages you to have good dental hygiene and periodic check-ups so that small problems do not become big problems. Practicing good corporate hygiene just makes good sense.

The minimum legal obligation of a corporation is to hold an annual meeting of shareholders to consider the financial statements, elect directors and to appoint (or dispense with the appointment of) the auditor. In practice, and as permitted by statute, narrowly held corporations often dispense with an annual meeting in favor of signed resolution of all of the shareholders. The failure to hold annual resolutions, or obtain written resolutions in lieu, can lead to legal action

from disgruntled shareholders.

The practice of holding annual meetings (or resolutions in lieu) also tends to ensure that corporate matters requiring attention are addressed, such as share transfers, changes to directors, and address changes, which if left unaddressed could become significant problems.

An effective method of ensuring good “corporate hygiene” is for the corporation to instruct its accounting advisors to provide legal counsel with an annual letter of instructions to document applicable financial matters.

It is not uncommon that a new client brings us a minute book that has not been properly organized, or that has not been updated for many years. It is not a cause for embarrassment.

We strongly encourage that the minute books be updated before an issue arises, such as a CRA audit.

Expo 55+ celebrates 20 years in community

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Premier Kathleen Wynne surprised many attendees by dropping into the Kanata Expo 55+ event on Sept. 16.

The premier was in town to tour Hydro Ottawa and launch Ontario 150 at the National Gallery of Canada, where she delivered remarks about the provincial government’s proposed

electricity tax rebate.

Wynne stopped in Kanata to visit with attendees at the 20th edition of the expo for older adults and spent close to an hour mingling and chatting with residents.

“I hadn’t seen the seniors centre before and it’s a terrific hub, very impressive,” said Wynne. “This is the kind of facility that helps people to stay active. I think seniors wellness is

about not being isolated and having society and friends around and having activities.”

During brief remarks, she used the opportunity to reiterate how the hydro rebate would help seniors.

“We want to make sure you have what you need; whether that’s free medications or whether it is a free shingles vaccine, or whether it’s giving you a break on your hydro bill.

We’re trying to find ways to help you on a day-today basis,” she said.

More than 450 people attended Expo 55+, along with Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, Mayor Jim Watson, and councillors Marianne Wilkinson, Allan Hubley, Shad Qadri and Eli El-Chantiry.

The event featured a number of health services, social services and other non-profit organizations that serve older adults.

The new design of a proposed bridge on Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street.

NCC approves new design for Rideau Canal bridge

BY Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission board has approved a new design for a Rideau Canal bridge on Sept. 12, despite some who seemed to be underwhelmed by what was

proposed.

The city is pushing hard to build the $21-million pedestrian and cycling bridge linking the Glebe and Old Ottawa East.

The NCC initially approved a design in 2012 and many board members said they pre-

ferred that original design. The biggest difference is the lack of a curve in the new design of the bridge deck, which is a design feature Mayor Jim Watson said would cost an additional $3 million.

See VOTE, page 43

Vote unanimous despite criticisms Continued from page 42

NCC board member Kay Stanley said that if she hadn’t seen the original design of the bridge, she probably would have been happy with the latest concept. “The first design was elegant,� Stanley said. “It’s like how do you keep her on the farm after she’s been to Paris.�

But Watson appreciated the approval of the new design by the Crown Corporation. “I think that’s one of the reasons it’s important for the local mayors to be sitting around the table,� Watson said following a city council meeting later that week. “I think a few of the board members realize there isn’t a bottomless pit of money available for these projects.�

Board member Brian Coburn was among those who said the NCC had to consider the cost to build the bridge when making a decision. “The affordability in this town has come into play, big time,� Coburn said.

A mock-up shows the new design of a proposed bridge on Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street.

Watson said there’s been talk of connecting the two communities since 1915, and said he’s even seen historical references to a ferry.

The federal government recently announced it would be funding $10.5 million for the bridge along with a list of transit-related infrastructure projects totalling more than $155 million.

Watson said the next step is to ask the province to chip in for a portion of the cost of the project.

Watson said the success of the redeveloped Lansdowne site has created even more of a need for the connection.

The aim is for shovels to be in the ground in 2017, with completion sometime in 2019.

50 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 22, 2016

BY Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Ottawa’s Wild Bird Care Centre helps thousands of sick, injured and orphaned birds each year, but now it’s in need and is appealing to the public for help.

The Nepean-based centre launched its first ever crowdfunding campaign – Birds of All Feathers – on Aug. 13 and within two days had raised more than $13,500. The centre’s board of directors hopes to raise $100,000 before wrapping up the campaign in December.

“This is the first time that we’re trying a crowdfunding initiative and we’re hoping that it looks like it’s going to be successful,” said board member Barbara Adams. “And if it is successful, perhaps it’ll be something we’ll try each year.”

The city’s only bird rehab centre has seen an increase in public awareness in the past year, resulting in more people finding injured birds and bringing them to the centre.

But that awareness is a doubleedged sword.

While on one hand it means more birds are surviving their injuries, the centre is now struggling to cope with what it estimates will amount to a 33 per cent increase in the number of birds admitted in 2016 compared to previous years.

The centre can afford to care for 2,400 birds in 2016, but expects to admit 3,300 before the end of the year.

While many of the birds the centre cares for are orphaned babies or birds that have been struck by vehicles or attacked by other animals, Adams attributed some of the increase to members of Safe Wings Ottawa bringing in birds that have collided with windows.

“Safe Wings Ottawa has done a lot of picking up birds and bringing them to the centre,” Adams said. “So birds that would have, in the past, perhaps died have been rehabilitated and we’ve been able to release them, in some cases within a few days. But sometimes it takes a few months to get them back.”

Adams said the average cost to rehabilitate a bird, including food and medication, is about $100. The centre’s winged

Megan DeLaire/Metroland

Wild Bird Care Centre employee Christine Henderson, from Westboro, feeds baby goldfinches at the centre on Aug. 15. residents go through 24 dozen eggs each day, and 9,300 mealworms each week.

With four staff members and a host of volunteers, most of the money the centre earns is used to cover rent and operating costs. Despite being authorized by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to rehabilitate wild birds, the centre receives minimal government funding.

“The other thing is, hydro is going up and so is the cost of our foods for the birds,” Adams said.

“It’s something that we’ve been seeing, kind of like a train coming down the track. We’ve been seeing that the cost of things is going up … And so we knew that we were reaching a situation where we would have to do something to do fundraising.”

As well as raising funds, the campaign will see the centre share stories about its staff, volunteers and the birds they

care for on social media.

So far, Adams said, the format is working and the response has been encouraging.

As of Sept. 15, the campaign had raised nearly $14,000, most of which was donated over two days.

“I think it’s wonderful. We know that without raising funds at this point we’d be falling short for the year,” Adams said, adding that while she’s impressed by the public’s response to the campaign, she’s not exactly surprised.

“People really love birds.

Ottawa has a community that goes out to do bird counts and goes on weekend trips with people who are bird watchers,” she said. “We’re in a community that loves nature.”

Bring the OUTDOORS inside More and more people have taken to incorpora�ng a bit of nature into the decor of their homes, and with good reason. Plants provide a nice touch of colour, create a relaxing atmosphere and help to purify the air in your house. So by fashionably using plants and flowers as decora�ve accessories, you’ll be able to breathe new life into your home.

Making the inside of your home come to life couldn’t be easier. Simply arrange a cluster of assorted plants along a stretch of wall — in your living room or bathroom, for example — that has a window. Posi�on a low and sturdy table

beneath the window and garnish it with an array of exo�c plants varying in size and species.

You can also place your flora on nested tables or shelves at different levels to create a stunning visual effect.

No indoor garden would be complete without kokedema. A Japanese variant of the bonsai, this art form involves wrapping your plant’s roots in soil, moss and string. By hanging these charming li�le gardens from your ceiling, you’ll be able to create a spectacular tableau of greenery virtually anywhere in your home.

Keep in mind that certain plants don’t get

along well with others when planning the layout of your indoor garden. You can always consult a hor�culturalist if you’re having trouble deciding on which plants to use.

SOME GOOD CHOICES

The chlorophytum (or spider plant), ficus, ivy, bowstring hemp, philodendron and gerbera are all species that require minimal upkeep and have air-purifying quali�es. These types of plants help rid the air of carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, benzene and formalin.

Buying a house with OTHER PEOPLE? Are you tempted to buy a property with one or more other people so you can access the property market more cheaply?

Admi�edly, it’s an interes�ng concept.

But think carefully before you get involved in this type of real estate transac�on.

Buying a house with your sister or a friend is a complex project that could easily become disastrous. Here are three �ps to help things go smoothly.

Choose your partners carefully

Agreeing to share the responsibili�es of a house with other people is like commi�ng to a rela�onship. Even though everyone gets along perfectly now, no one can predict what will happen 5, 10 or 15 years down the road. So, you’re be�er off choosing partners that you know well and with whom you have already established a trus�ng rela�onship. A�er all, you won’t be able to just walk away from the project whenever you feel like it.

Rely on experts

Start by using the services of a real estate broker who is familiar with how co-ownership works. Talk about the advantages and disadvantages. And be pa�ent; it may take several weeks before you find a property that meets everyone’s needs.

When you find a property that interests you, hire a cer�fied home inspector for a full pre-purchase inspec�on report that can protect you in case of later disputes. Lastly, choose a trustworthy notary or lawyer who will be able to guide you through the buying process.

Plan for the worst-case scenario

Should you buy a divided or undivided co-ownership property? Do you need to establish a co-ownership agreement?

Your notary or lawyer can help you determine the best format.

Even if you trust your partners completely, have a plan for the

worst-case scenario. If one partner decides to leave, will you be responsible for his or her mortgage payments? Can you buy him out? What happens if one of you dies?

In short, buying a property with other people can be a

great opportunity to become a property owner. Just keep both feet planted firmly on the ground so you can make informed decisions. And whatever happens, remember the adage that short reckonings make long friends.

What does a GREEN HOUSE look like?

If you believe a green home has to be built in the middle of the woods, think again. Many consumers are choosing to build eco-friendly homes in the city or the suburbs, in the heart of residen�al neighbourhoods and near all the services you need.

The three main features of an eco-friendly home: 1. A green home is more energy efficient.

Good sun exposure and the quality of the insula�on can reduce energy costs by at least 25 per cent.

2. An eco-friendly home is in harmony with

its environment. The building plans take into account climate, soil quality, sunlight, wind, bodies of water, flora and fauna.

3. The building or renova�ng materials used have li�le impact on the environment. They are recycled and don’t produce any toxic fumes.

DID YOU KNOW?

Some real estate agents specialize in the sale of green proper�es. Their exper�se can help you get answers to all your ques�ons so you can make a wise choice.

Three ways to use your CONVECTION OVEN (NC) Every �me you prepare a meal with your oven, you may find yourself wondering what in the world that convec�on feature means. While many new ovens offer convec�on cooking, most home chefs don’t fully understand the feature or how to use it to their advantage.

Jim Miller, cooking expert with GE appliances, explains that with tradi�onal cooking, food is heated from the oven’s bo�om baking element. With convec�on, a fan circulates hot air over, under, and around the food. This is how convec�on is able to 6 Floor Plan - Thursday, September 22, 2016

cook food more evenly and quickly, up to 25 per cent faster.

You also achieve be�er browning in a convec�on oven. In a regular oven, the air can become humid since moisture has nowhere to escape, leading to food ge�ng steamed rather than roasted. In a dryer convec�on oven, foods will brown more easily while remaining moist and juicy inside.

To use the convec�on feature, simply lower your recipe’s recommended oven temperature by 25 degrees. Food cooks faster when using convec�on, so check on it about

halfway through to see if any adjustments are needed. Some of GE’s ranges even feature automa�c convec�on conversion, making all these adjustments automa�cally. As an added bonus, the lower cooking �me and temperatures can help you save on your energy bills.

The next �me you’re entertaining or looking to experiment in the kitchen, try one of these cooking methods with your convec�on oven: 1. Roas�ng: Convec�on is a winner for roas�ng and crisping food to perfec�on.

The fat on meats renders quickly, helping to

seal in the juices while s�ll browning the skin.

2. Baking: You can use convec�on to bake mul�ple trays of cookies at a �me evenly, without having to rotate the baking sheets.

Dough also rises higher, making for a flakier and lighter pie crust.

3. Dehydra�ng foods: Convec�on does this current cooking trend best. Fruits and meats will dry out quickly and uniformly.

Tip: Any food that sets while cooking may be too delicate to withstand the fan, so avoid convec�on for delicate cakes, flans, custards, and soufflés.

PHOENIX HOMES ready to launch Pathways at Findlay Creek Looking for a modern, vibrant community with the latest innova�ve home designs, all at a price you can afford?

Check out Pathways at Findlay Creek.

Another quality community being built by Phoenix Homes, O�awa’s most trusted builder, Pathways at Findlay Creek is a large master plan community with a huge variety of homes and prices.

Just south of Findlay Creek, off Bank Street, Pathways will begin construc�on in early 2017 with model homes in place by fall.

Pathways at Findlay Creek is where value meets convenience with 35 and 50-foot single family home lots, affordable condo flats and stylish townhomes. An ideal loca�on for families, Pathways at Findlay Creek is a dynamic community complete with all the urban ameni�es you need, and only a short commute to downtown.

“This community is sure to be a big success,” says Rahul Kochar, Phoenix Homes VicePresident. “We an�cipate a launch to public in early spring 2017 and we invite everyone to register now for the best selec�on, lots, models, prices and op�ons. We will contact those registered this fall ahead of the public launch so they can get their first choice of lots.”

The Single Family homes at Pathways will feature open concept floor plans, quality construc�on throughout, granite counters and so much more.

With both 2 storey and bungalow singles on 35 or 50 foot lots, you will find value and ameni�es most other builders can’t offer.

Similar to the popular Phoenix Homes at Fernbank Crossing, the Pathways at Findlay Creek singles will become sought a�er homes for genera�ons to come, featuring high ceilings, larger windows and basements that can be completed to offer excep�onal addi�onal living space.

“We have a huge selec�on of well-thought out floor plans. Func�onal and comfortable. Such a massive variety of products means our buyers are spoiled for selec�on. There are just so many op�ons. For example, all our Bungalows are designed to be both beau�ful and prac�cal, offering plenty of room for comfortable family living in a convenient layout. And our Single-Family homes

combine beau�fully cra�ed designs with excep�onally func�onal layouts, offering you convenience and charm in one perfect home.”

The exci�ng Townhomes at Findlay Creek will feature an all-new layout designed especially for this site.

“Our new Townhome design emphasizes comfort and style. Enjoy the independence of your own space and a generous yard with the affordability of a townhome.”

What makes a Phoenix Home a step above comparable builders?

Quality built in at a price you simply can’t beat.

“We have the largest selec�on of models with so many op�ons.

There is literally something for everyone,” explains Rahul Kochar.

“We work with the home buyer to build their dream. We go the extra distance to tailor each home to the unique needs of the buyer.”

Accessibility is no problem at Phoenix Homes, which offer custom entrances, wider doorways and halls, and value add-ons at ever turn.

“We offer the best value anywhere. We invite people to shop and compare. We’ll always have something the others don’t.”

In keeping with the growing demand for natural products, Phoenix Homes has had its own opera�ons to supply hardwood and granite since 2005.

State-of-the-art CNC cu�ng machines for fabrica�on ensure the company’s granite and quartz are of the highest quality.

“It is our goal to always be one step ahead of the compe��on, with the highest quality finishing, buyer incen�ve bonuses and the most innova�ve designs and materials. When you do the math, you will always find that we’re ahead.”

Quality and value are hallmarks of the DCR/Phoenix Group of Companies.

Under the direc�on of founder Cuckoo Kochar, DCR/Phoenix has built more than 7,000 homes in O�awa and

the surrounding area since 1997.

In 2003, DCR/Phoenix expanded its opera�on to include commercial developments such as restaurant and retail sites.

In the spring of 2011, Phoenix Homes launched the most advanced Green Tech home the City of Ottawa has ever seen. It made use of every single available Green Technology and even made use of some prototype

equipment.

The latest innova�on Phoenix is developing is a new line of “Modern” eleva�ons. Buyers at Pathways will be among the first to view them.

“We’re not just building real estate, we’re creating communi�es that we’re proud to live in. O�awa is our home and we’re commi�ed to making it the best it can be, one home at a �me.”

When it comes to ge�ng

the most out your home investment, Phoenix is the leader.

“We have made it a point to ensure that we are the best value in any area, compared to compe��on.”

The top six late-blooming PERENNIALS As the leaves start to change colour and fall to the ground, many gardeners start to feel rueful at the dull sight of flowerbeds past their prime.

There’s hope, though, for gardeners reluctant to put away the secateurs and gardening gloves, even in the lower-number hardiness zones. With some planning and plan�ng, you can develop late-blooming flowerbeds that promise con�nuing colour well past the end of summer.

1. Chelone lyonii, or turtlehead. Likes dampness and produces colourful, slope-headed blossoms.

2. Chrysanthemum. If you’re plan�ng in the fall, get them in the ground fast, mulch them and keep them damp.

3. Eupatorium purpureum, or Joe Pye weed. Although you see it growing wild along roadsides, newer varie�es are tamer and smaller.

4. Helenium autumnale, or sneezeweed.

Although the plant doesn’t look like much through the summer, you’ll be rewarded with fantas�c blooms in early fall.

5. Asters. These tough star-shaped flowers keep the blooming season alive right into the fall.

6. Coneflowers. New cul�vars promise pre�y scents and colours.

SHRUBS FOR A GOLDEN SHOW

Add some deep reds and golds to your fall pale�e with shrubs that yield late flowers or brilliant foliage. Try witch hazel, Solomon’s seal, ninebark or Crispa, an elm cul�var. Even if you’re not set up to have a fall-blooming garden this year, it’s a fine �me to start planning for spring. Fall is the best �me to plant many shrubs and bulbs for next year.

Fall HOME GARDENING shortcuts to avoid (NC) With winter looming around the corner, it’s easy to skip steps to quickly finish outdoor jobs before the cold moves in. But digging without knowing what’s underground could hurt you or others and leave you with expensive restora�on costs and poten�al legal ac�on. For example, did you know that there’s an underground network of pipelines and cables just beneath your feet?

Before you put your shovel in the ground, don’t forget that you must call or click before you dig.

Whether you’re digging by hand or

excava�ng with machinery, it’s the law for homeowners and contractors to contact Ontario One Call to ensure all buried natural gas lines are located before breaking ground.

Line loca�on personnel use special equipment to locate underground u�li�es for you on behalf of its member u�li�es.

This is a free service that will help you protect yourself and others from unnecessary damage.

Be sure to contact Ontario One Call at least one week before you start work digging at on1call.com or 1-800-400-2255.

Using ROSE GOLD in your home Rose gold, also known as pink gold, has gone from being a dis�nc�ve element of jewellery to one of the most sought-a�er decora�ve metals in home design. The so� and warm atmosphere it creates makes it the perfect way to add a touch of class and elegance to your home. That’s why it’s one of the most alluring and o�enused metallic shades when it comes to interior decora�ng.

Inspiring decor Rose gold soared in popularity thanks to its use in some of the biggest fashion shows in the world. This �meless hue is now being used to ou�it an increasing array of decora�ve household objects: lamps, trays, vases and even garbage cans. Rose gold is also making its way into home furnishings and wall panelling. It pairs well with a variety of materials including wood, silver and copper. Its graceful and gentle colour can add a hint of luxury to any room.

To be used sparingly Rose gold’s main virtue is that it complements any decor and suits any style. However, this metal should be used as a finishing touch; only a few light traces are needed to create a refined allure. Overusing its en�cing lustre with too many accessories can have the opposite effect, making your room or decor appear somewhat tawdry and inelegant.

Sound control a key to a Why hire an CALM, RELAXING HOME INTERIOR DECORATOR? (NC) - Inside and out, life can be loud.

Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world by making your home, or specific rooms within it, a calm, relaxing sanctuary.

There’s a room in every house that could benefit from greater sound control, whether it’s a home theatre, music room, studio, home office, children’s play room, bathroom, mechanical, or laundry room. Insula�ng properly will allow you to enjoy your home that much more and achieve a higher level of comfort.

Experts suggest selec�ng a dense insula�on with a non-direc�onal fibre structure to combat airborne noise such as music, speech and foot traffic. A top choice among builders, contractors, and homeowners is a product called Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound which is specially designed for your home’s interior walls, ceilings, and floors. This insula�on material creates an excellent sound barrier that effec�vely absorbs noise and reduces the transfer of sound waves from one room to another. Its resistance to fire is an added benefit that also adds passive fire protec�on to your home, a type of fire precau�on that is part of the core of the building and will help control fire by limi�ng its spread.

Certain sound dampening measures such as carpe�ng might also help alleviate echo and reverbera�on, as will acous�c panels that prevent sound reflec�ons throughout a room. With basic DIY skills, you can simply and affordably construct your own acous�c panels using a stone wool rigid board called Comfortboard 80, which is effec�ve at reducing the intensity and propaga�on of noise.

We’re rarely short on ideas when it comes to decora�ng our homes. But some�mes, knowing where to start can be a li�le daun�ng. Maybe you’re looking to update your new home with a look you’ll love, refresh the style of your current house or even stage it to help it sell faster.

Regardless of your needs, an interior decorator will be able to provide you with sound advice while respec�ng your tastes and budget.

An art in itself

There are no defined standards when it comes to interior decora�ng. Designs and trends change over �me, varying from person to person and home to home.

Interior decorators are skilled when it comes to blending styles and colours, and are experts at finding those decora�ve items that make all the difference. They also have a wealth of knowledge about the different fabrics and materials that work well together. They’ll bring a unique and modern touch to your home while adhering to your own personal preferences and tastes.

An eye for design

An interior decorator will be able to help you every step of the way as you redesign your home. They’ll analyze the different op�ons available to you and suggest the best possible choices for your current needs.

Whether it’s establishing a budget, choosing colours and materials, or following up on orders, a decorator will oversee each step in the process to ensure you’re completely sa�sfied with the end result.

Special visitor greeted with morning blast from Father

T

he morning sounds never varied.

Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail.

Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox.

MARY COOK Memories Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top.

I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click, and the door close behind him.

Then I heard sounds I had never heard before...oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line!

Well, did that get the

whole house up in a hurry!

He was swearing in German, so I knew it must be something serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered.

And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife, and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk!

Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom to get

a clean pair of long underwear, and opening the door a bare crack, Mother threw out the whole pile onto the back stoop. We knew Father was headed for the Bonnechere River.

The three brothers did up the chores that morning, avoiding walking near the dead carcass of the skunk, which Father had finished off with a shovel that lay on the ground beside it. The smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife, and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again!

It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick, and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight, and we were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water

from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar, and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure.

Emerson pretended to gag, and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry.

There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed

The smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife ...

Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses.

Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside, and not from Father.

for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

Ice at the city’s arenas can be rented with short notice at a discounted rate.

City of Ottawa ice can be rented within 15 days at discount rate Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Environmental Assessment Study (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Open House # 4 (Final) Wednesday, October 5, 2016 Nepean Sportsplex, Halls A and B 1701 Woodroffe Avenue 6 to 9 p.m., presentation: 7 p.m.

Transit Access: 94, 95, 157, 173 The City of Ottawa is working on a Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the proposed at-grade Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station along a 14.5 km corridor generally following Baseline Road and Heron Road. The proposed facility would accommodate increasing travel demand across the City and help achieve modal share targets as set out in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

Implementation of the BRT facility is identified in the TMP as follows: • Baseline Station to Billings Bridge Station: Part of 2031 Affordable Transit Network.

• Baseline Station to Bayshore Station: Part of Network Concept Plan (Post 2031).

The EA Study will determine measures to improve transit service efficiency along the corridor and result in the expansion of the City’s transit network.

Study Area The Study Area stretches between Bayshore Station and Billings Bridge Station along a corridor following Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, Navaho Drive and Heron Road and includes the area around Baseline Station.

At the Open House you will: • Receive an update on the study’s progress • Learn about the Recommended Plan for the corridor • Have the opportunity to: °°Discuss the project with the study team and how it may affect your property °°Provide feedback Public input and comment on the information presented at the Open House event will be received until October 21, 2016.

The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The EA process involves developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which results in a Recommended Plan that will be presented to City’s Transportation Committee and Council for approval in mid 2016.

Interested persons can provide comments throughout the environmental assessment 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 as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Further information on the EA Study is available on the City’s project web site at: ottawa.ca/baselinecorridor.

There will be ongoing consultation activities with study stakeholders during the remaining course of the study.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the contact below before the event.

You can also send comments during the course of the study by email or regular mail using the following contact information: Jabbar Siddique, P. Eng.

Calling all “girls” of all ages in the area. A gala night just for you is coming up in Richmond on Saturday, Nov. 12.

“Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” will be an evening of dinner, music and silent and live auctions, all organized to raise funds for Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) which is involved in sponsoring a refugee family living in Kanata.

There will be a roast beef dinner topped off with

homemade pies.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by musical entertainer George Thomas who not only wears crazy outfits to go with his musical antics, but he has a real knack to get his audience involved and participating.

And then there will be not only a silent auction but also a live auction which is always lots of fun.

MC and auctioneer for the evening will be the renowned Brian Goudge who over the years has earned his nickname “motormouth” by his constant stream of chatter and information at events where he has the microphone. His ongoing banter throughout the evening will be entertaining in itself.

Organizers are still accepting donations for these silent and live auctions. Any busi-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you surround yourself with the right people this week. This is a great time to break out of your comfort zone.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may be looking for a new adventure but you do not have any idea where to look. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, resist the urge to put limits on your personal life. Anything is possible when you are open to new experiences and opportunites, so don’t be afraid to go with the flow.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may find the energy surrounding you is a bit overwhelming.

If you need a brief break from the hustle and bustle, take a step back and enjoy some quiet time at home.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 The little things will catch your attention this week, Leo. A small detail, a note in a song or a particular color may bring back memories. Try to embrace these feelings.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you, Virgo. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you and a relative or significant other clear a hurdle in your relationship. This may pave the way for a fruitful, happy relationship for years to come.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, expect a lot of passion and adventure this week. Talk to your spouse or partner about the best way to make the most of this renewed vigor.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Sagittarius. Someone you meet may provide a spark that will benefit you greatly in the days ahead.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, inspirational forces are all around you, and they can help you make some tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation that offers subtle clues.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a situation presents itself and you may need to act immediately.

Don’t delay and trust your instincts. The more quickly you respond, the more smoothly things will go.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Expect a few surprises in the coming days, Pisces. You can use the diversion, and this unexpected turn may reinvigorate your spirit.

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM “POTTER” AND SAD !

Fenway Milo adaMs

Hi my name is Fenway Milo Adams and I am two-yearsold. I hosted a pool party with all of my dog friends. I am a Cockalier (part Cocker Spaniel, part Cavalier King Charles).

My human dad, Jordan, is a huge Red Sox fan hence my first name. My mom, Kate, is Australian and Milo is a type of chocolate milk in Australia.

Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out! Simply email to: dtherien@metroland.com – attention Pet of the Week

As you can see I am a gorgeous red and white boy with silky fur…had a bosom buddy named Luke… he got adopted and I am happy for him... and I am now wondering if I will be as lucky as him… do miss him a lot. I love other cats would be nice to have a friend again or I can be your one and only to be spoiled endlessly... I am about 2 years old, neutered and vaccinated - just need a “lucky star” to shine upon me and the right person would read my words. I promise you will be so loved and paid attention you will wonder why not you took me home sooner.
