The installation will offer public access to the falls and was created by Moment Factory, the same company that created Kontinuum. A lot of the materials from Kontinuum were reused, but Miwàte had a $600,000 price tag - that works out to $20,000 a day until it closes on Nov. 5.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2017

Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived.

It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies.

It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares.

Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

Your donation will help care for these cats.

Johnstons had a common touch

T

he position of Governor General in Canada is largely ceremonial. Granted, the Governor General, as head of state, does have some constitutional powers but these have rarely been exercised. In 1926, for instance, the so-called “King/Byng Affair” saw governor general Lord Byng refuse to call a new election as requested by prime minister Mackenzie King.

But just because the post is ceremonial does not mean that it is irrelevant or superfluous. The recently departed governor general David Johnston showed how the position can make a difference, even as a monarchist figurehead in our mostly democratic society.

That’s because Johnston, as governor general, managed to bring government closer to the people simply by being a sincere, down-to-earth, regulartype person. He is even a former hockey player and you can’t be more Canadian than that.

He talked to many and showed a particular affection for children. Most importantly, he seemed to enjoy his duties and meeting people along the way.

It must be admitted that he was anything but a household name when first appointed to the position in 2010, succeeding Michaelle Jean. Sure, he

was an author and university president but he was pretty much under the public’s radar. He simply was not widely known.

But perhaps this in some ways was a blessing in disguise as expectations were not high, allowing him to quickly exceed them, to the benefit of all Canadians.

His secret weapon, as it were, was not only his charming manner but also his equally outgoing wife, Sharon. It turned out that in the appointment of David as governor general, Canadians got two for the price of one. They worked together, with Sharon becoming a familiar sight at events, both with her husband and often on her own, dispensing her own brand of regal dignity mixed with the common touch.

So, we as Canadians have had it fortunate over the past seven years with David, assisted by his wife, handling this post of governor general. He gave the position a likeable dignity which was a winning combination. So, thank you, David, and, yes, Sharon as well, for showing all of us Canadians that the post of governor general is meaningful, not in political power but certainly in people power. They made the position human and relatable. If only all of our elected politicians could do as well!

Kanata artist beautifies bunkers one mural at a time

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Bridlewood artist Alexis Kirkwood has been busy beautifying the bunkers in south Kanata parks.

The 21-year-old has spent months painting the bunkers at Young Pond, Kristina Kiss and Meadowbreeze parks, each aiming to capture the essence of the outdoor space.

“I just try to take a little piece of each park and really glorify it,” said Kirkwood. “I want to make sure it’s really specific to the park it’s going to be placed at.”

The Meadowbreeze bunker boasts a colourful mural with butterflies and cattails surrounding the pond. The design for

like doing at the park?’ and I’ll try to put that into the mural,” she said, adding once she decides on a theme it takes about one or two weeks to finalize the design and one to two months to complete the painting.

She was commissioned by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley after she designed and painted a large mural at the Glen Cairn Tennis Club in 2015. After seeing her completed works on the bunkers, Hubley said he was blown away. “(I’m) totally amazed, really love it,” he said, adding his office has received nothing but positive comments. “It’s high-quality work. It’s art that’s going to be there for a long time.”

Young’s Pond also focuses on the body of water, but with a summer and winter theme “because it’s really used through all seasons,” Kirkwood said. And over at Kristina Kiss, the shed features an outdoor ice-skating scene thanks to its large rink.

‘I just try to take a little piece of each park and really glorify it.’

Kirkwood is currently working on a concept for the bunker at Dog Bone Park, and Hubley said he’s in talks with Hydro Ottawa to let her paint the company’s green hydro boxes, although the utility hasn’t given him an answer yet.

If residents have ideas for other areas that could use a facelift in terms of a mural, or if there are other artists out there who want to work with his office to continue to beautify the ward, he’s all for it.

“We’ll see if we can’t get the whole community painting,” Hubley said.

People out for a stroll, walking their dogs or on their way to the playgrounds often stop and talk to Kirkwood when she’s working on the bunkers.

“They come by all the time and say how much they appreciate the park is being lit up. It makes me feel really nice that I’m doing something to help brighten the community,” she said, adding she puts out a sign while she’s working to let people know she isn’t vandalizing the property.

A few people have stopped to commission her for work, which includes portraits and sketches.

“It’s always been something that I’ve enjoyed doing,” she said. “I just really pursued it all the way through high school. It’s really just a part of me, it’s

Tabled bill would create safe zones around abortion clinics

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

In response to a woman being spat on while trying to access an abortion clinic on Bank Street, a provincial bill has been introduced to create safe zones around the medical facilities.

Attorney General Yasir Naqvi tabled a bill on Oct. 4, that if passed would create a 50-metre bubble around clinics and facilities that offer abortion services, the homes of clinic staff and the homes and offices of other regulated health professionals who provide the service. To start, the bill would create automatic bubbles around the eight abortion clinics in Ontario.

The push for the bill came after reports of increasing harassment of women out-

Dr. Marc Glavin Dr. Mathieu Grenier Dr. Mike Smith Dr. Alison Seely

side the Morgentaler Clinic on Bank Street.

Naqvi said women deserve to access legal health care services, including abortion, without fear for their safety, privacy or dignity and without fear of judgement, being threatened or publicly shamed.

Within the bubble zone, anti-abortion protests and activities that would interfere with or intimidate individuals trying to access those services would be prohibited.

The penalty would be up to a $5,000 fine and/or imprisonment for up to six months on a first offence.

For repeat offenders, fines could range between $1,000 and $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months.

“That is very disturbing that in this day an age

an incident like that took place,” Naqvi said of the spitting – and it wasn’t the only “heartbreaking” story he heard when consulting about the bill.

‘It’s unfortunate we need legislation to protect people like that.’

cess zones of up to 150 metres. Other provinces, including British Columbia, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have similar laws.

The announcement of the bill took place in Ottawa at Planned Parenthood.

Catherine Macnab, executive director of Planned Parenthood Ottawa, said they receive calls of women too afraid to go to their appointments and too bothered by the protesters to enter the building. “It’s unfortunate we need legislation to protect people like that,” she said. “People can protest almost everywhere.

They are going to be prevented from undermining the rights of other people who are trying to access health care.”

The City of Ottawa has a bylaw requiring protesters to be across the street, but it has no teeth, said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney. “Our bylaw wasn’t able to stop people from crossing the street,” she said, adding residents felt that the city should be able to stop any harassment of women or individuals accessing the Bank Street clinic.

“These incidents were falling through the cracks and often women weren’t reporting them, so this will clearly give a space for women and people to walk in. The protesters can still be there, but they’ll be far enough away,” she said.

Research linking brain and heart health receives $100,000 prize STAFF

Research exploring the link between brain health and heart health in teens recently received a $100,000 prize.

On Oct. 5, Dr. Benjamin Goldstein received the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for Mental Health Research at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, according to a press release.

His research looks at the relationship between bipolar disorder and heart health in teens.

“My hope is to get to adolescents early; we want to reduce the number of poor outcomes. One thing that particularly drew me to the treatment of bipolar disorder is there is the capability to lead a totally fulsome life if symptoms are properly controlled,” said Goldstein, a clinician scientist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, in a press release.

Goldstein’s research shows patients with bipolar disorder are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and it happens early. For teens with bipolar disorder, the consequences of being sedentary or having untreated risk factors for heart disease increase. Other risk factors including diabetes and obesity negatively affect mental health and the ability to

treat bipolar disorder.

His research aims to find new insights about the causes of bipolar disorder and how the treatments that help with heart disease also help to reduce the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Those treatments include a proper diet, exercise and medications.

“The world has moved from the

belief that mental illness is all in your mind to recognizing it is in your brain. We’re taking it a step further and saying that mental illness could be a multi-system disease that affects both brain and body,” said Goldstein.

Dr. Benjamin Goldstein was awarded the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for Mental Health Research for his work linking bipolar disorder and heart health in teens on Oct. 5. Pictured are George Weber, president and CEO of the Royal; Goldstein, 2017 recipient of the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for mental health research; Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of the Royal’s Instiute of Mental Health Research; and Scott McLean, chair of the Royal’s board of trustees.

The link between mind and body could also help with stigma, he said.

“We want to find evidence that proves it’s not all in your head.”

The prize was created in 2015 and

City continues to grow green fleet

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

This year, the city has acquired 11 new hybrid vehicles, the transportation committee heard on Oct. 4.

Of the 11 new vehicles, eight of them were for bylaw services.

For 2018, the city plans to spend $25.7 million to replace 97 vehicles and pieces of equipment for greener alternatives.

There are also plans to buy 16 new vehicles in the coming year.

Funding for the extra 16 will be sought during the upcoming budget process.

The city could begin introducing electric vehicles into its fleet this year, where it makes sense and meets operational needs.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury asked about the recent purchase of nine propane-powered Zambonis, instead of electric.

The staff response was that the market doesn’t have anything that works for the city’s need in electric format.

They’ve tried four this summer and they can’t do the job at our arenas.

The city currently owns 72 hybrid vehicles.

The work this year to make our fleet more efficient includes the installation of anti-idling devices on all 77 ambulances and two emergency response vehicles — as well as 21 telematics devices to track idling time.

The telematics devices are part of a pilot to explore the benefits of tracking the idling time and their effectiveness.

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

I believe that we need a free and fair market system to regulate the production, distribution, and licensed sale of cannabis within the province of Ontario.

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

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

Joyce McGlinchey, Real Estate Appraiser, “Why Get an Appraisal?”

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

Province moving on opioid crisis

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The provincial government is establishing an emergency task force to grapple with the continuing opioid crisis, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Oct. 3.

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, speaking on Facebook Live, said the move wouldn’t have been possible without people like Kanata parent Sean O’Leary, who leads a group called We the Parents — which advocates for teens who are addicted to opioids and the family of Nick Cody.

MacLeod introduced Nick’s Law — honouring a young constituent of hers that lost his life to opioid addiction several years ago — in the legislature on Oct. 3.

“His mom and dad, Natalie and Steve, made a tremendous impact,” MacLeod said of the family speaking in the legislature. “The government has acknowledged there’s a crisis and it’s all hands on deck.”

The government’s task force will be composed of front-line workers and people with lived experience. The

aim is to bring together stakeholders in harm reduction, addiction medicine and community-based mentalhealth services.

As a first step, all public health units in the province will be provided with constant and up-to-date public education materials to support their efforts in the community.

The task force will drive the public education campaign.

“Opioid overdoses are preventable and with more awareness and education youth will have a better understanding of how lethal opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil are (sic),” MacLeod wrote in a press release.

Nick’s Law proposed allocating 10 per cent of the province’s $57 million advertising budget be used on public education to increase awareness of the dangers of drugs like fentanyl, she added.

As part of the provincial education campaign, pharmacists will provide information for an insert on the possible health risks of opioids and where people can access support services. The inset will be provided to anyone filling a prescription for opioids.

The city has launched a pilot that will replace the alarms on snowplows, but saving your ears could come at a price.

The existing alarms — which sound like a high-pitched beep — cost $29 per unit. The new ones — which are broadband and aim sound in the direction where the danger is — sound like more white noise.

But the cost would be between $151 and $266 apiece. The cost difference has to do with the alarms’ decibel level. Some alarms would also come equipped with self-controlled volume that measures the background noise when determining how loud the alarm needs to be.

The staff report says there are 213 salters, sanders and large pick up trucks. Installation and parts would cost $71,069. There are 89 vehicles under the category of front-end loaders, graders, tractors, and sidewalk

plows, which would cost a total of $48,121 to outfit with the new broadband alarms.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said during the Oct. 4 transportation committee meeting if the trial is successful, there will be a lot of happy residents.

The information came to committee as a result of a direction following the 2017 review of the noise bylaw.

Council directed staff to look at the use of broadband alarms to mitigate complaints about noise from snowplows.

The pilot program will target areas of the city that have a higher incidence of 311 complaints about the noise from snowplows. If it’s successful, the city could change the whole fleet.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he hopes the city can encourage private snow removal companies to use the new alarms. He also said he’d like to see construction vehicles considered.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

Q: My husband and I are separating and we have two children, aged 11 and 6.

Do my children have any say in which parent they will live with? At what age do children have a say in custody arrangements?

This is a question with a complicated answer. Essentially, it depends. In Ontario, the law requires that custody and access arrangements be determined based on the best interests of the child. In order to determine what is in the best interests of the child, a judge must consider what are called the views and preferences of the child, only if they can be reasonably ascertained.

What does that mean? Well it does not mean that the child gets to decide with whom he or she will live with. What it means is that efforts will be made to determine what their views and preferences are and the weight to be placed on those views will depend on factors such as, the age and maturity of the child. There is no specific age wherein the child will ultimately get to decide. However, with that in mind the views and preferences of a 15 year old will be considered differently than those of a 5 year old. The court will also consider to what extent the views and preferences appear to have been influenced by one parent’s control or manipulation.

How do we ascertain the views and preferences of the child? In a custody dispute each parent will typically

express what they will say the children have said to them about who they want to live with. However, as one might suspect this information is not necessarily reliable when coming from a parent engaged in a custody dispute.

There are options to obtain more neutral evidence as to the views and preferences of the children. One option is to engage the services of a professional who will prepare what is called a “voice of the child report”. The parties will privately engage a specialist who will interview the parties and the children and make recommendations based on their findings. Another option is for a judge to request that the Office of the Children’s Lawyer get involved. They are a government agency who may engage the services of a lawyer and/or clinician who will conduct interviews and make recommendations for the custody and access arrangements that they feel are appropriate.

If you have any questions regarding custody and access it is well worth the investment of engaging the services of a family lawyer to advise you on your own particular situation and the best options available to you for coming to an agreement on custody and access.

Firefighters battling blazes with science

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN AND JESSICA CUNHA erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Flames blacken thin slices of wood before quickly climbing the nearby wall of a sea container and ominously licking their way across the ceiling in winding ribbons of heat.

Smoke gathers in a thick blanket in the darkened interior as an Ottawa firefighter releases small jets of water from a hose to cool the hot smoke, which can ignite when fuelled with oxygen.

The working lab, based at the Ottawa Fire Services’ fire dynamics training site east of Richmond, provides an immersive environment to simulate live-fire conditions for the training of the department’s more than 1,500 firefighters.

The new site, created a year ago, is where they now hone their skills in the science of firefighting, one of the key tenets of new firefighting curriculum developed in Ottawa.

“Modern fires are fundamentally different from 10, 20 years ago,” said Deputy Chief Sean Tracey. “If we continue to fight fires using those past practices and tactics, we are going to

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Firefighter Cheryl Hunt, from Station 47 in Barrhaven, demonstrates a flashover at the Ottawa fire department’s fire dynamics training site east of Richmond on Oct. 6. The facility, which opened a year ago, is where Ottawa’s firefighters will be trained in newly developed curriculum designed to reduce loss from fires, save lives and allow firefighters to bettle modern fires more effectively and efficiently.

kill firefighters, individuals will lose lives and there will be property losses.

“We need to adapt and understand,” he said. “Firefighting is becoming a real scientificbased, research-based program, and so you need fire departments that are skilled and capable and understanding (of) that.”

Ottawa’s urban firefighters will be trained in the modern tactics over the next six months to a year, while rural volunteer firefighters, because of their work schedules, will be fully trained within the next two years.

“We’re sitting in the middle of the experiment,” north Kanata-based firefighter Greg Lough said after emerging from a controlled burn at the training site on Oct. 6.

“It becomes a really valuable learning opportunity, so that as we talk about the theory and the concepts and as we advance in our understanding of fire behaviour, then we can reinforce that with live-fire demonstrations,” said Lough, an instructor on the new curriculum and a 25-year firefighting veteran.

SEEING THROUGH THE SMOKE

Inside the sea container, veteran firefighters point to long ribbons of flame snaking across the ceiling. Even with a trained eye, the tendrils are difficult to spot through the thick smoke though keeping track of them is essential to attacking a fire.

A thermal-imaging camera is deployed, and the advancing flames are monitored to ensure firefighters are safe from a flashover, which is when contents can simultaneously ignite.

“What we’re trying to do is prevent flashover,” Lough said. “That all ties back to the science and our new built environment.”

Fourteen-year firefighter Brad Bignucolo, from Station 31 in Hunt Club Park, has been involved in the curriculum’s development as a project team member since 2015, and says it offers firefighters an advantage by providing a standardized approach

NOTICE OF INTENT CARP RIVER EMBANKMENT RESTORATION CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) has retained McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers to complete a study regarding the Carp River Embankment Restoration located within Glen Cairn community between Terry Fox Drive and Eagleson Road. This project is being considered in order to provide protection to the Carp River embankment which is currently unstable due to severe erosion occurring primarily along the southeast embankment. This study has been initiated to solely address embankment erosion within the study area limits and will not address and/or rectify any recent flooding issues.

The study team invites you to participate in the study, which is being completed in accordance with the Conservation Ontario’s Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA). The Class EA process includes public, governing agency and stakeholders consultation, characterization of the study area and the identification and evaluation of alternatives using sound criteria to select the technically preferred alternative.

This study will investigate the potential environmental, social and economic impacts of the preferred alternative and identify measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.

Input received will be incorporated into the planning and design process for this project and will be received until November 6th, 2017. If you wish to be involved in this study or receive information, please contact one of the project representatives identified below. Additional consultation opportunities will be made available as the study progresses.

Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, MVCA intends to proceed with the planning and design as defined in the Class Environmental Assessment process.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Happy Thanksgiving I hope you were able to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends, and celebrate how lucky we are to live in such great communities, and in such a great country. As you enjoyed your Thanksgiving meal, I hope you took the time to remember to give thanks to the farmers who produced the food we enjoyed. At this time of year it is also important to remember those who are struggling and who need our help. I hope you all had a joyous, safe holiday weekend.

Visit to Kanata – Marc Garneau I had the honour of welcoming the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport and Canada’s first astronaut to Kanata this past week. It was great that he took the time to speak with Kanata-Carleton residents about important transportation issues, and his experiences both as the first Canadian in space, and his political career. His visit coincided with the celebration of the 33rd anniversary of his first space flight. I’m sure everyone enjoyed his inspirational talk – it was an honour to have him in the riding!

Kanata Food Cupboard I want to thank the Kanata Food Cupboard, and all those who helped them get ready for Thanksgiving, for their tremendous contribution to those in need. I am very proud of all the wonderful work they do in our community. Every day they make a difference in many lives! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kanata Food Cupboard! Look for the ‘Adopt a Family’ program…coming soon!

Mid-autumn Festival I want to salute all those who celebrated the annual Mid-Autumn festival. Traditionally, this is the time for Chinese people worldwide to give thanks to the harvest and hope for community as well as prosperity. To all those who celebrated, I hope you and your loved ones had a very happy and bright festival filled with good food and happy company!

“Coffee with Karen” – 26 October I will be hosting an informal discussion at the Café Luna, 329 March Road, on Thursday 26 October from 7 – 9 pm.

I will be joined by my colleague Omar Alghabra, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Consular Affairs).

Please join us for this no-cost event for informal discussion on a broad range of issues, including foreign affairs.

Town Hall – 13 November Our next “Let’s Talk” event will take place on Monday, 13 November from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Glen Cairn Community Centre. I look forward to meeting and hearing from constituents on those issues of importance to the community.

Fury fans celebrate the season

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

The Ottawa Fury may not be in the playoffs, but their fans love ‘em anyways.

The Fury played their final home game of the season on Sunday, Oct. 8. It was a game with no playoff implications, but the Fury fans came out anyway, as they have all season long.

For the first time in franchise history, the Fury broke the 100,000 mark, setting the club attendance record for the team.

Around 5,445 fans came out Sunday, pushing the season total to 104,354 fans in attendance.

“Seeing the fans being loyal throughout this time whether we are in the playoffs or not, this is huge,” Fury coach and general manager Julian de Guzman told Metroland Media. “It brings me back to the time when we played in the second season under Marc Dos Santos. The first half of the season was pretty slow and quiet, but fans kept coming out and the build up toward the playJake Davies/Metroland offs, when we played that game against Minnesota to make it to From left, Sébastien Johnson, Eric Beevis and Cédric Johnson are pretty pumped to get some the finals, and you saw everyone of their favourite Fury players’ autographs during Fan Appreciation Day on Sunday, Oct. 8. come on the field to celebrate even though we are not in the that and it’s like, football actual- game for the Fury and then, was path going forward.

A motion by West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry to reduce the mandatory lot size for rural residents that want to build coach houses is aimed making it easy and cost effective.

Coach houses are smaller, separate dwellings on the same lot as the primary home.

“I want to make sure it’s more beneficial for residents to build coach houses,” El-Chantiry told staff at the Oct. 6 agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting.

Alain Miguelez, the program manager on the file for the city, said the concept is aimed for families looking to house multiple generations on the same lot.

The city developed a draft policy for coach houses in the suburbs and urban area last fall, but privately serviced homes — those on well and septic — were excluded.

Staff circulated the tweaks to the draft plan for rural coach houses in June and July. So far there have been nine applications.

When it was first proposed, the lot size for a coach house had to be 0.8 hectares. At the Oct. 6 meeting, staff proposed dropping that down to 0.65 ha — Darouze’s motion reduces it even further to 0.4 ha.

Another bone of contention for El-Chantiry was the transit portion of the development charges that residents may have to pay if they decide to build a coach house.

“For people to pay transit charges, when the only bus they see is on TV is kind of rich,” he said.

Tim Marc, senior legal counsel for the city, said there may be changes to the provincial law coming down the pipe that could see development charges pulled from coach houses.

“We want to cut the red tape and make it easier for residents to build coach houses,” Osgoode Coun.

George Darouze said.

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road.

Study Area The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed.

Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive.

In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension.

Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts.

As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place.

Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018.

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted.

You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website.

The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study.

Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Taking responsibility for making our community better is something we do as individuals, as a group of friends or a family, maybe you are a member a sports team or service club, and sometimes it is a street wide effort.

Since becoming your Councillor in 2010, I have been very honoured to join many of you on different projects to improve our community and I believe we have made a difference. We continue to rank at or near the top every year for being the place where most people want to live and in those seven years we have won the Cleaning Up The Capital award five times!

Over the last two years, along with most of the west end Councillors, I was involved in raising funds for our community hospital - the Queensway Carleton. We helped raise $2 million for the ACE unit which is Acute Care for the Elderly. This is a specialized wing dedicated to better care for our senior family members and neighbours that is now open and has been well received.

Last week just before council, I was asked to speak on behalf of ten members of council as we all pledged to help raise $500,000.00 over the next year to upgrade the mental health wing of our hospital. Most families in our community and across our country have been touched by a mental health issue or know someone impacted. Some families like mine have suffered immensely from the cost of inadequate care for those facing mental health challenges so to me this is personal as well as a way to help improve our community.

Together with groups like the Kanata Sports Club and others, we will be organizing events to help reach this goal. I hope you will support our effort and if you can contribute to the Hope Is Rising campaign for our hospital, let me sincerely thank you in advance.

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!
