Construction on Hein House at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice is progressing and the Kanata location should be ready to open by September 2017. The exterior work on the residential hospice is set to finish by the end of December, said Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan, which will allow the workers to continue on the interior over the winter.

four lanes near Tanger Outlets First phase of work to connect roadway begins in November BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Work will begin on Campeau Drive this November to widen a western portion of the roadway to four lanes. A small section of

Campeau Drive – from Huntmar Drive to Country Glen Way in the Minto Arcadia development – will be expanded. The work is needed before a road connection can be built to attach the two parts of Campeau, between Didsbury Road and Country Glen, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Minto needs to construct a stormwater pond before Campeau is linked but can’t design the pond until the

road elevations are complete, said Wilkinson. “The city’s not allowed to build the bridge or the road until the pond is done,” she said. Once the drainage pond is complete, likely towards the end of 2017, work will begin on connecting the two ends of Campeau, said Wilkinson. Construction of that section will take about two years.

Campeau widening work to be completed in two phases Continued from page 2

The two-stage project between Huntmar and Country Glen is set to begin Nov. 14 if the weather co-operates, she said, and notices to residents will be delivered this week. Work on the first phase will include underground pipe work and constructing the base of the two new traffic lanes. It’s set to wrap up around mid-December. The second stage of construction is scheduled to begin in May 2017 and includes the final layer of gravel, curbs,

sidewalk work and asphalt paving. A roundabout at Campeau and Country Glen will also be installed. The section of four lanes will provide better access to the new Kanata West Business Park, which includes Tanger Outlets, Cabela’s, a carpentry training centre, UPS distribution facility, and plans for other businesses, and will allow the area to continue to grow more quickly, said Wilkinson. The widening and extension of Campeau was approved in the city’s 2013 transportation master plan.

The church is offering its space at no charge and clients have use of all the rooms for the various activities offered. “They’ve made us feel so welcome,” said Mitchell. Barry Houle, who has an autoimmune disease, has been participating in day hospice since January. The move to the new location during construction has gone well, he said, and he’s looking forward to the hospice reopening. “It’s more the people than the setting for me, but it is a lovely setting,” said Houle. “My surviving and being where I am is from coming here to the day hospice program. “I’m anxious to see what the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice will look like, but I can say I'm not anxious to use their rooms.” Aside from the day program, Ruddy-Shenkman’s grief programs are being held at the Bells Corners United Church, and St. Paul’s An-

Construction is on-going at the site of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in south Kanata. The new wing of the hospice will feature a 10-bed residence for people in their last days and weeks of life and two respite rooms for short-term care. glican Church in Kanata is hosting the annual Shine a Light event on Dec. 2 – an annual remembrance ceremony where people are invited to hang a light in honour of a loved one who has died. “We’re extremely grateful because it allows us to continue all our programs,” said Sullivan. “We didn’t have to cancel any of our programs

due to construction." Even neighbours close to the hospice construction site have offered assistance. “Our volunteers delivered little notices to let them know construction was going on,” said Sullivan, adding people were warned there would likely be more cars parked on the street. “Several of the neighbours all set up their

driveways in case we needed it. The community, they’ve been patient, first of all, for

us to raise the money. They’ve been generous in terms of the donations they’ve given

us and really supportive and patient with the construction and allowing us what we need. It’s really special.” Hospice Care Ottawa, which receives no government funding for capital projects, raised more than $6 million for construction and is continuing to fundraise through its Brick by Brick campaign. “We have about $2 million left to raise; that’s what the mortgage is for,” said Sullivan. Last year Hospice Care Ottawa served 357 people in residential hospice – up from 290 in 2014. All programs are provided at no charge.

‘We must not forget’ Legion prepares for Remembrance Day at Kanata Cenotaph BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Legion is preparing to welcome more than 1,000 people to the cenotaph to commemorate Remembrance Day on Friday, Nov. 11. “We always say, ‘Lest we forget’ and that’s very important,” said Lorraine Lapensée, president of branch 638. “It’s important so that we never forget why we have our freedom – because people have given up their lives.” The ceremony will feature a parade of troops from CFB Petawawa, as well as local military members, cadets, police, community groups, “and most importantly, our veterans,” said Lapensée. “We have a focus on World War Two veterans but we must

not forget our newer veterans,” she said. “It’s a new type of war, the terrorism, so we have a new type of veteran. They’re younger; the image of our veterans from World War Two is changing. We can’t forget them but we also have to recognize our more current veterans.” The Remembrance Day parade marches off at 10:30 a.m. from Earl of March Secondary School and the ceremony begins at 11 a.m. The ceremony, which takes place in Colchester Square, sees between 1,000 and 1,500 people attend every year. The 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group from Petawawa provides “50 to 60 soldiers that will be marching in the parade and two senior officers who lay a wreath,” said Lapensée, adding they

also provide the sound system and soldiers for traffic control. “We so appreciate it – it helps us make the ceremony happen. “We have so much representation from the community groups, businesses and the public." Following the ceremony everyone is invited to the Kanata Legion, located at 70 Hines Rd., for hot soup, sandwiches and desserts, as well as a performance by the Canadian Military Wives Choir. The legion will host a Remembrance dinner on Nov. 12 with guest speaker Dean Oliver, a member of Friends of the Canadian War Museum. POPPY DRIVE METROLAND FILE PHOTO

The legion has volunteers at a number of locations in Kanata distributing poppies, as well as poppy boxes at businesses in the area, until Nov. 10. Funds raised from donations are used for a number of local programs, including

Poppy volunteers are located at the Eagleson Road Superstore, the Loblaws and Walmart in Kanata Centrum, Hazeldean Mall and Home

Depot. They are also at Costco on Nov. 5, 6, 9 and 10. The wearing of the poppy and taking part in Remembrance Day ceremonies are important, said Lapensée. “I'm very grateful and thankful to have been born

when I was born, which was after the war. I never had to experience war and I hope I never will first-hand,” she said. “Our soldiers have given up their lives so we may have freedom and a future. “The message is there; we must not forget.”

Baby box good for infant and mother

nyone who’s had a baby knows how stressful the first few weeks and months can be. Sometimes, however, they can also be fatal. When my first child was born, my husband was traveling for work. Within a week, I was left pretty much alone, determined to breastfeed and really unsure what to do when this live thing started screaming or crying. I was in and out of breastfeeding clinics. An Ottawa public health nurse visited twice. But really, it was my mother-in-law, God love her, who saved us. She’s a retired nurse, who specialized in neo-natal care for more than three decades. We didn’t speak the same language and we didn’t know each other very well at the time, but she insisted after two weeks that the baby have a bottle. I was determined that it wouldn’t happen – after all, “breast is best” was the constant message. In my mind at the time, failure to breastfeed would mean failure as a mother. Eventually, she snuck him some formula while I was in the shower, at an appointment; anytime she could get some extra food into him, she did. As it turns out, she probably saved his life. A few days after she initiated that first bottle, a nurse at the Montfort Hospital told me my son, at three-weeks-old, was on the verge of “failure to thrive.” Without my mother-in-law’s intervention, he may have died.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Fast forward 11 years and my boy is thriving. More than 52 kilograms and 1.6-metres tall, he’s the average build of a kid years older than him. Thank goodness for public health, my mother-inlaw and the breastfeeding clinic at the Montfort (which no longer operates). Nunavut has the highest birth rate per capita and the highest infant mortality. In late October, the territory’s departments of health and education initiated a baby box program, modeled on a system launched in Finland in 1939. Across the territory, first-time mothers with newborns will be sent home with a box that doubles as an infant-safe bassinet. Inside the box, there are blankets, diapers, clothes and breastfeeding aids. There are also children’s books and other baby supplies. The boxes also include information about family planning and condoms. It may sound like a small thing, but in Finland, the baby box program helped reduce infant mortality to less than two in 1,000 from 90 in 1,000 live births. For new mothers, any assistance can help. Nunavut’s infant mortality rate, at more than 21 per 1,000,

is nearly five times the national average. Mothers in Nunavut are typically young, by today’s standard. According to Statistics Canada, the average age of a first-time mother in the territory in 2012 was 25. Government of Nunavut recognized that young mothers are particularly vulnerable. On the government website it’s noted that women who have their first child when they are younger are less likely to have completed high school and typically have fewer resources to care for an infant. The baby box program is a great initiative. For now, it’s a pilot project that’s been introduced in 25 communities across Nunavut. For all new mothers, however, the baby box program could go a long way toward reducing the stress and dangers of parenting a

newborn. In Nunavut, the contents of the box are provided gratuitously by a number of private companies. No doubt, Pampers and Johnson & Johnson will earn great customer loyalty from providing those supplies in the early days. If the program is successful in Nunavut, Canada should do right by all mothers and introduce the baby box program across the nation. The baby box goes a long way toward infant health, but toward maternal health as well. Editor’s note: In May an American company, Baby Box Co., announced a program that would provide sleepsafe baby boxes to new parents in Canada. In late August some of the baby boxes were distributed in the Ottawa area, as reported by Metroland Media at the time.

Ontario tackles an age old question

ow soon after the first pubic safety entity was created – hundreds of years ago – did some ask the question: Who will police the police? The province is hoping to improve the way the police in Ontario are managed. There are three bodies that investigate police actions, with the Special Investigations Unit the best known. Justice Michael Tulloch is touring the province, listening to Ontarians’ suggestions and complaints. It’s a worthwhile endeavour. All of us need to have faith in our police. We need to know that when we raise a concern, an independent investigation will occur. Two of the stated purposes of Tulloch’s review are greater transparency and accountability. The SIU operates at arm’s length from the police, and the organization’s investigators deliver their reports to the Ontario attorney general, but not the public. That’s the first fix that’s needed. Public reports ensure transparency. The arm’s-length relationship – great in theory – can also be questioned. Most, if not all, of the SIU’s investigators are former police officers. While police departments are obvious sources of good investigators, their resumes don’t pass the sniff test for some people

who complain about police actions. There is no doubt there’s an appearance of a conflict of interest, which in turn can make the public less confident that investigations turn over every stone. The answer would be to train investigators to work for the SIU, even if they have never worked for law enforcement before. There would clearly be a cost as the education wouldn’t be simple. But if Tulloch is to create a fair and complete report, hiring non-cops for the SIU must be an option. Another way to stretch the arm’s-length relationship between police and the SIU would be to expand the geographic scope of the people who investigate police officers. A provincial body such as the SIU means investigators – former police officers – may have personal relationships with members of the forces they investigate. If Canada had a federal unit instead, that could ensure personal relationships are less likely or avoided altogether – a former police officer in Alberta could be assigned cases in New Brunswick, for example. If we are going to continue to fund investigations of our police, we should receive results all of us trust to be fair, complete and public.

Downside of hockey is no fun at all

happened to be on the other side of the world recently, tuned into CNN for a glimpse of life back on our continent — in other words, the latest complications in the life of Donald Trump — when what should appear but a story about hockey. Hockey! On CNN! In Asia! The story, as it turned out, was about Auston Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie, and how he had scored four goals in his National Hockey League debut. What a debut! What a player! Etc. Somehow I already knew what the score of that game was and I patiently waited for CNN to tell the world which team won that game. “Tell us who won,” I kept telling the TV set. Finally, as an afterthought, CNN told us: The

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Ottawa Senators had beaten the Leafs in overtime. By the way, you must have noticed that we are in the midst of the semi-annual TV sports heaven, with the NHL underway, the NBA just starting, the World Series, the CFL and, for those who like that sort of the thing, the NFL all going on. This may be why the kids had such a hard time getting anyone to answer the door on Halloween. Now, the Senators victory over Toronto was certainly appreciated here, as was Auston Matthews’

performance appreciated in Toronto. But there is a clear divergence in the two cities’ approach to their hockey fortunes. The Sens get off to a nice start, winning more than they lose, and people are quite content – not too excited, not talking Stanley Cup yet, but fairly happy with how things are going. Toronto has been talking Stanley Cup ever since Matthews was signed. And then, almost instantly, in a state of despair when he failed to score four goals in his subsequent games. There is already a goaltending controversy in Toronto, angry words between the coach and media, all duly reported. And reported and reported. To hear people talk down there, you wouldn’t know that there are another 70 or so games left in the

season. We’re calmer in Ottawa. Perhaps it’s because there are other things going on, such as politics. It’s not that the Senators don’t get coverage. It’s just that we are not subjected to such drastic ups and downs. We saw this a bit in the justconcluded baseball season. The Toronto Blue Jays did just fine, almost advancing to the World Series, but at various points in the season it was panic in the sports media. Every two-game losing streak was met with demands to fire the manager or trade half the team. The upside of this volatility is that when the team wins, the joy is intense. But the downside is no fun at all. Around February, the sports community here will begin talking about playoff chances. Between now and then there will be the occasional mutter after a particularly difficult loss.

perspective. In Toronto, because interest is so intense, some players may experience pressure from the fans that they wouldn’t feel in other cities. And that just makes things worse. It’s all very well to talk about living and dying for the home team. But it’s nice to avoid the dying part.

Leashing your cat saves lives of our wild birds To the editor,

Re: “Owners of cat killed in hit and run call for driver, pet owner awareness,” Oct. 27. I just read with concern the article about the owners of a cat killed in a hit and run accident on Nairn Street. First, my thoughts of condolence to the couple on the loss of their pet. Indeed, a tragedy that gives one pause. What also gave me pause, however, was another issue that is not mentioned: while this couple is rightfully cautioning their neighbours to reconsider allowing their cats to roam freely so the same fate will not befall another pet, there is a second reason not to

allow cats to roam freely: protecting our wild birds. Nature Canada is currently spearheading a campaign called Cats and Birds: Keep Cats Safe and Save Bird Lives (see catsandbirds.ca), which they are using to highlight both the dangers that outdoor cats face, especially cats that are allowed to roam unsupervised, and the impact that these cats are having on birds. Environment Canada research estimates that, in addition to the impacts of climate change and habitat loss, 270 million birds a year die as a result of people. Cats, both pet and feral, are estimated to cause 75 per cent of those deaths. Many bird popula-

tions are in trouble, even at endangered or at risk of extinction. The solutions are simple (visit the website for ideas): taking your cat out on a leash for a daily outing solves both problems at once. It’s what we demand for dogs, so why not for cats? Thus, while this couple is out and about warning neighbours about the risks of letting their cats out unsupervised, perhaps they can watch a few of the migrating birds right now and give pause to think how they might just be helping them as well.

The male driver of the car was treated for chest discomfort after the collision and was in stable condition at hospital, said paramedics. Police said alcohol and speed “do not appear to have been factors,” in the crash. The collision closed Eagleson Road in both directions from Cope to Bridgestone

City manager working on noise complaint rejig BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury is still trying to get a handle on noise complaints in his student-heavy ward. During the Oct. 28 council meeting, Fleury asked city manager Steve Kanellakos to look at rejigging bylaw services to cover more time in the wee hours of the mornings. The move comes as a result of the Ottawa police unilaterally deciding not to answer noise complaints once bylaw services shuts down for the night. For most of week, bylaw will deal with calls until 2 a.m. On the weekend that service extends until 4 a.m. Fleury wants staff to deter-

mine if there’s a way to go to a 24-hour service, even if that is only on weekends. He said last year 777 calls were not answered the same day, and that’s not acceptable. “Staff didn’t believe there

Watson doubtful further study will shed light on police racial profiling

NEW FABRICS!

Recent arrival of hundreds of bolts of • Christmas prints • Batiks • Flannels

Mayor Jim Watson isn’t prepared to criticize the city’s police officers following the release of the results of a twoyear study into police traffic stops and the race of drivers. Watson, speaking on Oct. 26 two days after the results of the study were released, said the report seems to send mixed messages. “There seemed to be implications of racial profiling, but they said there is no evidence of racial profiling,” Watson said. The study was undertaken by the Ontario Human Rights Commission, using data collected between 2013 and 2015 and was analyzed by a team of York University researchers. There were a total of 81,902 traffic stops in which police officers recorded their perception of the driver’s race. “In Ottawa, middle easterners and black groups, irre-

spective of their sex and age, are the two race groups with disproportionately high incidences of traffic stops,” the study said. “The bottom line is obviously police should be stopping people if they have grounds for stopping them, not based on the colour of their skin or their religious background,” Watson said. Drivers who appeared to be middle eastern were stopped 10,066 times, or about 12.3 per cent of the total stops over the two-year period in question. According to the report, these drivers represent only four per cent of drivers in Ottawa. That means middle eastern drivers were stopped an average of 3.3 times more than you’d expect based on their population, the report reads. Watson said it’s up to the top brass within the police service to provide the proper training to make sure officers are not stopping people based on race.

MAYOR JIM WATSON Watson did say officers face increased pressure due to attention from the public. “I’m not prepared to throw the entire police service under the bus because I think the vast majority of individuals are doing their best to do the job,” he said. “At times they’re constantly under the microscope because they’re being photographed, everything they do.”

Town-Hall Meetings On Hydro Rates

T. RIORonPAIN p. 7. OR EXTE RIOR anti-ru st paint. Details S OF INTE n, Muse and 3.78-L CAN t for SICO Evolutio *Excep

Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it? I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents. Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario.

Kanata South councillor replaces Coun. Jan Harder BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A change is likely coming to the police service board committee after the city released its mid-term governance review on Oct. 25. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley will replace Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder on the board – one of the recommendations made in the report. Harder chairs the planning committee and sits on the board of Hydro Ottawa as well as the city's finance and economic development committee. She requested the change to better deal with the workload required at planning, said Mayor Jim Watson. "It was a good time for the shift, being mid-term governance review," he said, adding Hubley had a lot of experience to bring to the role. Watson said he spends too much time sitting as an ex-officio of other boards, like Ottawa Hydro and the NCC to dedicate the time needed to the police board – which is why he isn't a sitting member. Hubley has shown interest for some time in the police board, said Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who chairs the board. “Together, him and I, we sit on two other committees – agriculture and rural affairs and FEDCO – and now police board,” said the West Carleton-March councillor, adding Harder has done a good job over the years. “It’s great news for us because Coun. Harder is quite busy with the planning … that’s one of the biggest files.” Hubley said he was pleased with the addition to his responsibilities. “I'm really excited about it. It’s an issue that’s near and dear to my heart and I think that I can bring a lot to the table,” he said. “For residents of Kanata South, I think that’s a good thing I'm going on the police board too.” He said the added responsibility – he is also chair of the audit committee and sits on FEDCO and planning – would not affect his work in the ward. Being on the police board will make him more aware of trends and

pilot projects that he can bring back to his area, he said. “The issues we’re dealing with in Kanata are not unique to Kanata South,” said Hubley. “I think it’s going to help.” Hubley said his background in security and police working groups will be beneficial. He worked for Canadian Boarder Services Agency for five years, which included foreign affairs assignments. He was also with the Public Safety National Security branch leading up to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, working with municipal and provincial police forces and other security services from around the world. Hubley said he was also involved in community working groups when the police forces amalgamated as the then-president of the Glen Cairn Community Association. “Going into 2017 that may be very helpful,” said Hubley. “We’re going to have a huge increase in population in the city (with the country’s upcoming 150th celebrations). The special events – I have some knowledge of the things we should do to prepare for that." When asked about the change to her portfolio, Harder said aside from being chair of planning and sitting on other boards, she's also councillor for the most populated ward. "I represent the largest ward in the city by more than 6,000 people," she said. "I’ve been raised with an ethic of always, 'A job worth doing is a job worth doing well.' And even though I did the police job very well, in my heart I know that I would have wanted to give (it) more attention. I think it deserves it and I think it’s that important. "I’ve served on the police services board for six years now and I’ve served well. I just know that Allan Hubley has got a lot more time than I do, and he will be able to give it that extra bit of attention. Not that I ever reneged on any of my responsibilities, but it couldn’t be the number one thing for me because planning is absolutely that much more consuming." The governance review will be presented at the FEDCO committee meeting on Nov. 1 and then move to council to be approved. With files from Jennifer McIntosh and Megan DeLaire

City officials help celebrate the official opening of the the O’Connor Street Bikeway on Oct. 25. The new two-way bike route is part of the cross-town bikeway network.

Cyclist hit the same day O’Connor bike lane opens BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

The excitement surrounding the opening of a new two-way bike route in Ottawa’s downtown core was shortlived when only hours after city officials celebrated, a cyclist was hit by a vehicle. Ottawa police responded to the call of a cyclist being hit at the corner of O’Connor and Waverly Streets on Oct. 25 at 5:23 p.m. One male cyclist was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the car, who was making a left onto Waverley, was charged with failure to yield. The O’Connor Street Bikeway con-

sists of a combination of protected two-way bike lanes, painted bike lanes, and shared-use lanes connecting the Laurier Avenue Bikeway with Fifth Avenue, near Lansdowne Park. It is part of the Cross-Town Bikeway Network, a system of seven bicycle routes designed to provide a safer, continuous path for cyclists across the city. The collision took place exactly four hours after city officials, including Mayor Jim Watson, Somerset Ward Coun. Catherine McKenney and Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko, celebrated the new bike route. See CITY, page 19

City has no intention of taking out bike lanes following crash Continued from page 17

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past decade, we have expanded our cycling infrastructure network to meet the growing number of cyclists in Ottawa, and to encourage that number to continue to grow,â&#x20AC;? Watson said at the opening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city of Ottawa is committed to being a cyclingfriendly city, and with so many cyclists on the roads, everyone needs to be more dedicated than ever to safety.â&#x20AC;? McKenney called the new lanes a great example of safe transit option in the city. Chernushenko called the lanes a way to get the bike â&#x20AC;&#x153;wannabesâ&#x20AC;? out on the road. There were police on hand during the opening, and Const. Chuck Benoit said officers have been using the lanes since they opened the week before, but do not intend to be there every day simply to ensure the rules of the road are enforced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are there to promote the education portion, but we

are not going to be on that specific area every day,â&#x20AC;? Benoit said, adding that the education portion of segregated bike lanes is handled by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Safer Roads Ottawa. On Oct. 26, in response to the collision that took place on the lanes, Watson said Ottawa is the first city to have segregated lanes in Ontario and that there is still a learning curve for drivers and cyclists. In September, federal Transportation Minister Marc Garneau said that Transport Canada and the provinces will establish a new task force in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists and heavy trucks. The announcement of the task force came soon after a letter from Watson to Garneau asking for such a task force after a cyclist was killed in the downtown core in a collision with a truck. In response to the cycling collisions, the mayor met with local pedestrian and cycling

groups. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter asked that further research be conducted on truck safety guards and other safety measures that would reduce fatal collisions. Garneau said the task force would explore cameras, sensor systems, side guards, as well as educational safety and awareness programs. With the latest accident coming just hours after the new bike lanes were celebrated by city officials, Watson said the city has no intention of removing the lanes. He added that there are a lot of motor vehicle accidents and the city does not get rid of new planned intersections because of them. Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are encouraged to visit the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, ottawa .ca, for more information about the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Street Bikeway and the proper use of Bike Boxes, which cyclists use to make safe turns.

“Science and technology are all about renewal and looking to the future. As a modern institution, looking forward means finding new ways of reaching out to people that make science exciting and relevant. That is why the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation Foundation is pleased to partner with cutting-edge companies and organizations to create the STEAM Horizon Awards in support of the country’s next generation of great innovators,” a statement read. In order to be eligible to apply, applicants must: • Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada; • Be 16 to 18 years of age at the time of application; • Have been recognized for accomplishments in a formal capacity (such as selected as a winner or participant of a science fair, patent application, conference presentation) or less formal capacity (such

as founding a coding club, developing a course for kids, creating an interactive art installation); • Have obtained—over the previous year of study—an academic average of 85% or higher; and • Be preparing to enrol, or are currently enrolled in, the first year of post-secondary education (university or college) in a STEAM field in Canada. Up to seven Canadian students will be awarded $25,000 each to attend a Canadian university or college to study in a STEAM field. Two of these awards will be given to Indigenous students. The winners, from outside this region, will be flown to Ottawa and recognized at the Foundation’s first annual National Science and Innovation Gala on May 18, 2017. More information about the award program or to apply is available at steamhorizonawards.ca.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review As part of our Mid-term Governance Review I have been nominated to join the Ottawa Police Services Board. My work on the Manotick Mills Quarter Community Development Corporation and the Building Better Smarter Suburbs task force is at the stage where final reports are being prepared so I have the time available to dedicate to the challenges facing the Board currently.

Catch Basins in the Road At this time of year it is common for leaves and debris to collect around the catch basins in the road and it is normal for water to pool around a catch basin in wet weather. Roads are designed to drain based on the sewer capacity. While many residents are able to clear the catch basins themselves of small debris, you may create a service request (311 or www.Ottawa.ca) to advise the City of a catch basin (drain cover) that is: • Blocked (causing flooding on the road) • Missing • Sunken or raised • Broken

OPP seek murder witnesses using text messaging BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

Ontario Provincial Police reached out to thousands of cell phone users on Oct. 27 for help with an a year-old unsolved murder case. Employing a new investigative technique, police sent a text message to 7,500 cellphone users who were near West Hunt Club and Merivale roads on Dec. 16, 2015. The mass message was the latest attempt by police to en-

gage the public in an attempt to identify potential witnesses in its ongoing investigation into the death of 65-year-old Frederick “John” Hatch. Hatch was last seen alive inside a Dollar Tree store on Merivale Road on Dec. 16. He was found dead on Dec. 17 near the town of Erin, Ont., about five hours southwest of Ottawa. Police have been searching for a suspect since then, and will now use mobile technology to try and track down wit-

Frederick “John” Hatch was last seen alive inside a Dollar Tree store on Merivale Road on Dec. 16. He was found dead on Dec. 17 near the town of Erin, Ont., about five hours southwest of Ottawa. The OPP is seeking witnesses in the investigation. vestigative technique – a text message canvass to cellphone owners – will reach witnesses who may not be aware of the murder of Frederick “John” Hatch,” detective superintendent Dave Truax said in a media release. “But they may help us solve it by volunteering information and potentially remove a dangerous offender from society before they harm someone else.” The OPP obtained the phone numbers through a court process called a production order that required cell phone companies to provide the information. The order did not ask for names or any other contact information for the registered cellphone owners, but respondents can offer this information once contacted. Police urged anyone who received the text message to follow the directions in the text message. Anyone who received a text message from the OPP also has the option to call the OPP dedicated tip line at 1-844-677-5010 to speak directly with a homicide investigator confidentially.

Saskatchewan Mafia curling club celebrates 50 years

With styles this great looking, why not trade up?

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The Saskatchewan Mafia is looking to recruit new curlers for its Ottawa club. The group, whose members have a Saskatchewan connection, celebrated its 50th anniversay this year. It was started in Regina in 1946 by a group of high-ranking civil servants, which is why a local newspaper dubbed its members years later as the Saskatchewan Mafia. When there was a change in government, many of them relocated to Ottawa and the club came with it in the 1960s. “They had so much fun doing it in Regina … that my father restarted it here,” said Peter Black, a current member of the club. As jobs came and went, Black moved back to Saskatchewan in the ‘70s, so from 1975 to 1983 there were parallel groups curling at the same time more than 2,700 kilometres apart. “There was another change

ADOPTION I WAS WANTED; I WAS CHOSEN;;

After that newspaper article referred to the club as the mafia, the group was “tickled pink” and started using it informally Black said, so much so that his father tried to register the club’s name with a bank – it didn’t go so well. The bank didn’t want to be associated with an account of that name, so they had to go with something a little less exciting. Throughout the 50 years the club has operated, it first curled at Lansdowne in the barns, before moving to the Granite Curling Club in Westboro on Scott Street. According to Black, more than 138 curlers have been involved in the club since its 25th anniversary. But with more than half of its members over 60 years old and many of them retired, the group is looking for an infusion of new blood, especially for the January

to April session. “They are lounging on the beach in Florida and they aren’t available for curling,” Black said laughing, adding the team is sometimes scratching the bottom of the barrel for players. But they also want to keep the tradition of the Saskatchewan connection alive. Even if it just means someone had a stopover in the province for an hour or two. “There’s an attempt to just recruit expatriates from Saskatchewan so we maintain this cultural focus … every province is somewhat different and Saskatchewan is very small so there’s a bit of a closer community there and an agricultural background that’s really flavoured the culture,” Black said. He’s been curling with friends for more than 40 years, talking about the Saskatchewan harvest, the Roughriders football team, family and friends. Dick Lane joined the club

when he moved to Ottawa in the mid-sixties. “There was quite a contingent of Saskatchewan people.” Many of the members were spread across the entire city, so it was only on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. that they would see each other, compete in a friendly curling match and catch up on the week’s events. “It’s the continuity and the friendship,” Lane said of what brings him to the rink each week. “I look forward to seeing the folks.” Inside the Granite Club is a subtle reminder of the Saskatchewan Mafia’s existence in the city. On a green rock embossed in yellow letters is the club’s name. Black said his father would be thrilled to know the club has survived this long. “To know that this has carried on for 50 years, and really it’s 70 — 20 years in Regina and 50 years here. It’s quite a record.”

10 years of smoking cessation Queensway Carleton Hospital is celebrating 10 years of partnership with the Ottawa Heart Institute’s Ottawa model for smoking cessation. An impressive 8,400 smokers have been reached through personalized, best practice tobacco dependence treatment, resulting in increased quit attempts and long-term cessation. An estimated 2,500 smokers are smoke-free as a result of the support they received while at Queensway Carleton. In 2002, smoking cessation experts at the

University of Ottawa Heart Institute developed the Ottawa model for smoking cessation – an institutional program that systematically identifies, provides treatment, and offers follow-up to patients who smoke as part of routine care. QUIT RATES

In 2006, the heart institute began to assist other inpatient, outpatient and primary care settings.

Implementation led to an absolute 11 per cent increase in long-term quit rates among hospitalized patients (from 18 to 29 per cent at six months). In eastern Ontario, nearly 100,000 smokers have been assisted, leading to about 25,000 people becoming smoke-free. “This model for smoking cessation has had a significant and positive impact for our patients who smoke,” says Tom Schonberg, president and CEO at Queensway Carleton Hospital. “In partnership with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, our team has the tools, system and collaborative approach to support our patients who smoke while they are admitted to hospital.

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: I’m about to sign a commercial lease. Do I really need to have a lawyer review? Aren’t they all the same? Commercial leases are NOT “all the same” – there is little in them that is standard – and unlike residential tenancies there is limited statutory protection for commercial tenants. Commercial leases are in fact such complex legal documents that the process is often divided into two parts – first the Landlord and the Tenant settle and sign a 5 to 10 page “Offer to Lease” which is then followed a few days or weeks later with a 30 to 50 page “Lease Agreement”. A (incomplete) list of matters to consider when negotiating a commercial lease include: • May the lease be structured so as to reduce personal liability of the Tenant – either through the use of an incorporated entity, limited personal guarantee or escape clause? • Have the specifications, obligations and funding for leasehold improvements been adequately addressed to ensure that the Tenant obtains what it seeks? • What are the obligations on termination of the Lease? Is the Tenant required to restore the premises to its original condition at the end of the term?

About Allan Snelling

Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction. We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

About J. Robert Allan

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

• What “additional” items may the Landlord bill the Tenant for? Are they reasonable? • What are the terms relating to assignment or change of control of the Tenant such as a right of the Landlord to terminate the Lease (potentially a bar to the future sale by the Tenant of its business!) • What signage rights does the Tenant have? • What parking rights does the Tenant have? • What is the term and are there options to renew? • Does the lease allow the Landlord to arbitrarily move the location of the premises? • Are there rent escalators or percentage rent obligations? • Are there dispute resolution provisions? We strongly urge prospective commercial tenants to seek professional advice before signing an Offer to Lease, as well as for the Lease Agreement itself.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Kanata: New Hub for Autonomous Vehicles? Congratulations to Kanata North Councillor Marianne Wilkinson for her successful City Council motion to research and submit a plan to allow autonomous vehicle testing in the Kanata North Business Park. I fully support the initiation to establish Kanata as the centre of excellence for driverless cars. This type of innovation is not new to Kanata, and we are so lucky to have so many great companies in our Riding, developing and implementing cutting edge technology to improve the lives of all Canadians. New Business in Kanata! Congratulations for the grand opening of Nu Caribbean on Castlefrank Road in Kanata! I was happy to join Mayor Jim Watson and councilor Allan Hubley to celebrate small business in Kanata-Carleton. Ontario Federation of Agriculture Annual Meeting I was thrilled to attend the OFA dinner and speak to many of the farmers in our riding. It is so important to recognize how critical the agricultural sector is, both in our riding and in our country. It was great to speak to them and exchange ideas on how we can improve and enhance the agricultural industry. Women’s History Month As part of the ongoing celebration of Women’s History Month, I was honoured to speak and moderate a discussion at the “famous5 lunch” with “the Veteran, the General, the Chief and the Commissioner.” The Veteran (myself), the General (Lieutenant General Christine Whitecross, Commander of Military Personnel Command), the Chief (Ms. Greta Bossenmaier, Chief of the Communications Security Establishment) & Commissioner (Canadian Coast Guard Commissioner Jody Thomas) – together we had a great discussion on the career possibilities for women. Veterans Among Us I had the privilege of speaking in the House this week about the “Veterans Among Us” campaign. Veterans of the Canadian Forces, RCMP and First Responders are requested to wear their medals and insignia on the 1st and 30th of November. This would provide an excellent opportunity for all Canadians to recognize and thank Veterans for their service.

Let it snow: crews prep for snow clearing duty Rookie drivers hit the streets to get ready BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city has begun training snowplow operators for the upcoming winter. More than 400 drivers are being trained to navigate the roads and drivers should give them plenty of room, said Scott MacKinnon, manager of fleet training for the city. “It’s the ultimate in multi-tasking,” MacKinnon said. “You have to drive, pickup the snow and operate the salt spreader.” The average snowplow truck is 30,000 kilograms. MacKinnon trains drivers for the plows, loaders and sidewalk machines. Part of the training includes an obstacle course at the Trim Road works yard. Plastic construction barrels are used to simulate mailboxes. The course also simulates

narrow streets and snow drifts. But before operators get behind a wheel, they have to do two full days of in-class theory practice. MacKinnon said ideally an operator would take a refresher course every few years to keep up on the latest snow removal technology. The city has a massive snowclearing budget, and ran a deficit in 2015 for the fourth year in a row. The city spent $67.4 million — $7.6 million more than was budgeted. A slate of changes to way snow is cleared in the city that came out of a review of the city’s snow operations by consultant KPMG was considered by the city in July. The proposed changes were expected to save the city $6 million annually, but one of the key recommendations – to change the snow clearing standard from seven to 10 centimetres was rejected due to public outcry.

he, and others in the room felt like the decision was a done deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conclusion driven process to achieve the desired result regardless of the facts,â&#x20AC;? he said. Janice Felman, whose son recently graduated from Agincourt to attend JH Putnam, will be returning to the grade school, which is already pushing 100 per cent capacity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a chance to have all this,â&#x20AC;? she said of the modern auditorium at Sir Robert Borden. She said putting middle school kids back into the elementary school setting will mean they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have lockers and there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be warehousing them in portables,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rachel Tweedy, president of the Leslie Park Community Association, said staff didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take into account the developments scheduled for Sandcastle Drive and Guthrie Street along Baseline

Road. Karyn Ostafichuk manager of planning for the board, said staff work with the city to keep on top of upcoming developments and have left Briar Green â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the school where Leslie Park students would move to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with room to grow to compensate. James Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady, president of the Trend Arlington Community Association, of-

fered up some suggestions, like moving the French program from Knoxdale Public School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is currently at 103 per cent of capacity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Leslie Park to buoy up their student population. Adams said input from the coming public consultations in the east end and another in west end â&#x20AC;&#x201C; set for Jan. 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will help to inform staff on the implementation

and timing of the plan. It will also help to figure how much grandfathering needs to be done. Right now there are more than 3,800 excess pupil spaces. The accommodation review proposed to reduce excess space by 2,074. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way we are not spending money on empty seats, but programming,â&#x20AC;? Adams said.

A slate of changes proposed for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end schools had parents packed into the Sir Robert Borden High School auditorium on Oct. 27. Whether it was Leslie Park Public School or Regina Street or Grant Alternative, parents lined up behind the microphone to make a pitch to save their schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get the emotional attachment to the schools,â&#x20AC;? said Barrhaven-KnoxdaleMerivale trustee Donna Blackburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to the same school my dad did. But what goes on inside the school is more important than the building itself.â&#x20AC;? In her zone alone, Blackburn is dealing with the closure of Greenbank Middle School, Century Public School and the creation of a grades 7 to 12 program at Merivale High School. Jennifer Adams, director of education for the public

board, said parents anxious to save their schools is actually a great problem to have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means people love our schools,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been through accommodation reviews before and the students usually get used to the new schools before their parents. Board chair Shirley Seward said she estimates 250 people attended the event.

Coun. Tim Tierney wants to monitor the number of police officers who have medical accommodations to their work.

Police board could monitor number of officers with accommodations BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Some members of the police services board want to keep a close eye on how many police officers are being accommodated with special modifications to their work for health or family reasons.

Coun. Tim Tierney requested information at a past police board meeting on how many city police officers are receiving these accommodations and if the numbers are in line with other police forces of similar size. Ottawa’s police force has officers with accommodations for

both medical reasons and family status, but a report tabled at the board on the issue focused on those with medical accommodations. As of July 31, 9.2 per cent of officers – which works out to 123 – had healthrelated accommodations. See ACCOMODATIONS, page 36

Tierney asked if the numbers are indicative of a morale issue within the department, and if board members should be concerned. “It’s hard to compare apples to apples in this type of collection of data because (different) police services don’t always collect data in the same way,” Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said. “I think we have the duty to ensure that the members of the Ottawa Police Service who have restrictions for a variety of reasons, that we respect them.” Some accommodations are very minor, such as officers who are too large in size to fit in the standard Taurus vehicle and must use a larger vehicle while on duty. Others have more serious documented issues that could

prevent them from working in the evenings, or be unable to work a regular patrol shift Tierney said his inquiry wasn’t meant to be an attack on officers who need medical accommodation, but there have been some concerns voiced, including about how that affects the number of boots on the ground. “From a human perspective, what’s the impact on the rest of the force by trying to accommodate?” asked Coun. Jan Harder. “I think we need more discussion on this.” Tierney also asked to see numbers for how many officers that are on some form of accommodation are also picking up overtime shifts. Bordeleau said they can’t deny someone overtime because they need a medical accommodation, but their accommodations would be

reviewed and overtime shifts they are not capable of performing wouldn’t be offered. Police board chair Coun. Eli El-Chantiry reminded board members that many of the processes they were asking about are part of the collective agreement that covers police officers. Board member Jim Durrell said it’s dangerous to listen to rumours on the street of someone trying to cheat the system. “Yes, there is probably someone who has diddled the system once or twice,” he said. “But we’re drifting down a little path here that I’m not happy with … I have confidence you are dealing with this properly.” The board agreed to have accommodation numbers for the force presented on a quarterly basis.

Mother’s moods fluctuated with seasons W ith each new season, came a different set of emotions from Mother. My sister Audrey, who was much wiser and much older than I was, was aware of it, too. She said it was because Mother, when each season broke, compared it with New York, the city she left, and which still held a special place in her heart. When spring came, it never came early enough to suit Mother. She said when the snow was still on the ground in Northcote, the parks and streets would already be in bloom in New York. She said she could even smell the flowers in her mind’s eye, which seemed mighty strange to me. Before I could smell anything, it had to be right in front of me. Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter out of the house. Even though the house was cleaned from top to bottom every Saturday, there was always ash and soot from the cook stove being in the closed up kitchen over the winter months. And then she

MARY COOK

Memories would lament that in New York, no one had a cook stove, and the only ashes came from the fireplace in the parlour, which was cleaned out every time it was used. And I would try to picture the fireplace, and I knew there would have to be a very large parlour to hold it, not a little room off the kitchen like we had in Northcote. “Sure miss New York in the spring time,” she would say. And when summer finally came, she lamented about the heat that closed in around our old log house like a vice. The only relief came from rests in the grape arbour on the wood swing, fanning ourselves with folded-up copies of the Renfrew Mercury. And Mother would talk about the big electric fans that

cleared the heat out of the house in New York, and with the sweat poring off her face, I knew her thoughts were a million miles away. SUMMER FLIES

And then there were the summer house flies, that Mother was sure had had a stop in the cow byre before finding their way into the house. She swatted, and sprayed with enough flytox to kill all the flies in Renfrew County, and she would say, “hardly ever saw a fly in New York.” And it didn’t matter how tight money was, she could always find enough to fill the hand-pumped can with flytox, and sending everyone outside, she filled the kitchen with the mist that hung like gossamer clouds from the ceiling to the floor. And she would say the flies carried enough germs to wipe out our entire family! And she would repeat again, that she could count on one hand the number of flies she ever saw in New York. And when she wasn’t lamenting

about the summer flies, she was lamenting about the fierceness of the thunder and lightening that roared through the countryside in the Ottawa Valley. The log house, with no foundation, shook with every clap of thunder, and with we five children huddled beside her, locked tight inside, we waited out the storm, catching Mother’s fear, and sure that the next bolt of lightning

Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter out of the house would send us all into oblivion. And again, Mother would liken the valley storms with those she saw in New York, where the high skyscrapers dulled the sounds and where electric lights diminished the lightning. “No comparison,” she would say, “no comparison at all.” And with fall in the air, and the onslaught of winter just around

the corner, she would prepare for the long cold days ahead, ever mindful that when the snow came, there was a good chance that we could be locked in at home for days while Father worked at clearing the long lane of the drifts. There would be no car until spring. And sometimes it would be too bitterly cold to make it into Renfrew 12-and-a-half miles away, and on those Saturdays there would be no eggs, chickens, butter and sticky buns delivered door-todoor to add to the egg-money in the sugar bowl in the cupboard. And she would sit at night, at the end of the pine table writing in her diaries, and I knew without a doubt, she would be putting into words her memories of another place and another time.

A development with approximately 1120 residential units, a 2.5 hectare commercial area, three automobile dealership areas and an 11 hectare district park is being proposed for a 54 hectare site with frontage on Huntmar Drive. The future north-south

arterial road for the Kanata West lands bisects the proposed plan of subdivision, connecting to two collector roads including a proposed Stittsville Main Street extension. The site is south and west of the Palladium Auto Park, with Feedmill Creek running along its western border. The Fairwinds North subdivision is located south of much of

the site. Of the proposed 1120 residential units in this development, the breakdown would be 174 detached homes, 285 townhouse units, 520 stacked townhouse units and 140 units in low-rise apartment buildings. Comments can be sent to city planner Louise.SweetLindsay@ottawa.ca. by Nov. 14.

Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Density Index In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) affect properties city wide. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to set forth the parameters within the Official Plan under which the Zoning By-law Density Rates, which accompany this Official Plan Amendment, may be amended. The Zoning By-law Density Rates are intended to have general applicability to a land use wherever it may be located, and therefore should only be amended on a site-specific basis under certain circumstances. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to create a new tool called the Density Index under the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2008-250. Density refers to how much development there is on a lot, regardless of the shape or height of a building. This new tool is being introduced to require that all lots within Official Plan-designated Intensification Target Areas be subject to minimum densities, as indicated in the Official Plan, the document that guides land use and manages growth in the City of Ottawa.

Written comments may be submitted until December 13, 2016 to:

To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or visit ottawa.ca/densityindex. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, fax or e-mail by December 1, 2016. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment, or of the refusal to amend the official plan or zoning by-law, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed bylaw is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Policing the police: Ontario seeks better way forward BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

One of the province’s most delicate responsibilities is investigating its own police officers. The process of digging into police action – or inaction – requires investigative skills and investigators who are independent from the officers under the microscope. To ensure public faith in the system, independence is key. Ontario is reviewing the way police oversight is conducted, and Justice Michael Tulloch is travelling across the province to gather ideas from the public and concerned groups. Tulloch introduced a public discussion in Ottawa on Oct. 26 by explaining the scope of his work – dubbed the independent police oversight review. “I am free to critically examine how these oversight bodies operate,” Tulloch told a group of more than 50 people gathered at the Wabano Centre on Montreal Road. “I can assure you that, in this process, you will be heard.” In Ontario there are three bodies that may investigate police: • The Special Investigations Unit is best known to the public. The civilian investigators are called in when police are involved in incidents of serious injury or death.

ONTARIO JUSTICE MICHAEL TULLOCH • The office of the independent police review director oversees complaints about police officers. • The Ontario Civilian Police Commission conducts hearings on police discipline and deals with disputes about the provision of police services. Tulloch is tasked with writing a report and making recommendations to Ontario’s attorney general on how to improve transparency and accountability of the oversight bodies, and ensuring those bodies are effective and don’t overlap responsibilities. Tulloch is scheduled to issue his report on March 31, 2017. While the justice isn’t dealing with individual complaints about police conduct, he will surely hear some difficult stories during his tour of the province. Among the Ottawa attendees was Matt Cicero of

Vanier, who said he was badly beaten by Ottawa police about 20 years ago, when he was in his early 20s. Cicero said he wasn’t complying with officers’ orders at the time, but said officers went too far when they stripped off his clothes and pepper sprayed him before dragging him into a cell. “I still have the scars,” Cicero said. He said the incident left him with a lack of trust for police. He decided to attend the oversight review after speaking with people at a community conference about the death of Abdirahman Abdi. The 37-year-old Ottawa man died after an encounter with Ottawa police in July, and the SIU is currently investigating that case. Cicero said he’d like to see the province “make SIU reports available to everyone.” Fairlea Community Association president Peter Stockdale also attended Tulloch’s oversight review in Ottawa. He said he wants a dedicated civilian unit for police investigations that is “completely separate” from police. That would mean civilian investigators who are not all former police officers – a complaint the SIU has always faced. Stockdale said there are other ways oversight investigations can be kept separate from the day-to-day investigation police carry out, in-

e ic v r e S f f lu -F -& h s Wa an pet for a huggably cle

cluding different labs to handle forensic evidence. Even the courts can be a concern. “Our court system is used to relying on the police,” Stockdale said, alluding to the risks of placing too much trust in evidence given by police officers. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi – who is Ontario’s attorney general – said he attended the review meeting strictly as a local MPP, as he is, in effect, Tulloch’s boss. “The report will come to me with policy recommen-

dations,” Naqvi said of Tulloch’s work. Naqvi said the idea of a national unit to investigate police would require a wider conversation, and he expressed support for a continuing provincial mandate. “I think it’s better if it’s local in nature, so to speak,” he said of the provincial management of oversight. On the possibility of hiring oversight investigators who are not former police officers, Naqvi avoided prejudging anything Tulloch may put in

Debate over enforcement of pot shops frustrates councillors BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Police board chair Eli ElChantiry said at the police services board meeting on Oct. 24 that he shares resident Richard Bergman’s frustrations over the lack of enforcement surrounding marijuana dispensaries in the city. El-Chantiry had asked for a report on what action the Ottawa police will take on illegal marijuana dispensaries at the board's September meeting. Marijuana can only be sold to approved users by Health Canada approved facilities, and can only be delivered by mail – which means any storefront that sells marijuana directly is illegal. In the report that ElChantiry had asked for back in September, police say they are willing to prosecute “viable files” but each location

requires its own investigation, which is a time-consuming process. Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said “we are actively investigating those that have opened up, but there is quite a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to looking at them to prosecute.” He said there are active investigations underway, but he wouldn’t disclose which locations are under investigation. The report to the board encouraged city councillors to report “legitimate complaints” that go beyond personal feelings on marijuana use to the police. The report also said there is a proven and accepted need for medicinal marijuana. Bergman, who spoke at the Oct. 24 police board meeting, is a retired RCMP officer who now runs his own business and lives in Orléans. His daughter goes to school near

a recently-opened marijuana dispensary in Blackburn Hamlet on Innes Road. Before the shop opened, residents in the area had voiced concerns about the location and the illegality of the business. It’s close to several schools, and its opening surprised other business owners in the same plaza where it

ational pot use next spring. Some residents in Blackburn Hamlet said they were shocked that an illegal business is allowed to operate. At another nearby location in the Innes ward, parents have complained about a St. Joseph dispensary that is located in the same plaza as a Kumon location and a mar-

“All we can hope is we get some direction or better ideas soon.” INNES COUN. JODY MITIC

is operating – one of whom is planning to leave the plaza as a result over it. Bergman said the pot shops are bullying their way into communities, trying to presuppose what the rules are going to be when the federal government legalizes recre-

tial arts studio. Bergman said it’s important for police to remember the separation between enforcement and prosecution. “When I was on duty, I would observe minor offences and have discretion,” he said. “But it wasn’t my role to

become involved in politics. My role was to be unbiased, apolitical, and never appear to show favour to one group over another. My role was not to presume, or presuppose the actions or decisions of the Crown.” He said by not enforcing the criminal code, police are hurting the community, including local businesses. Bordeleau said police can’t stop the shops from opening and suggested the city could look at changing bylaws. He said that in Toronto most of the dispensaries that police have shut down open back up. “We’ll do an investigation, we’ll get a warrant, we’ll seize the evidence, charge the people,” Bordeleau said. “But then they have every ability to open up in another location. That’s the challenge we have.” “I’m trying to stay positive, but the statements from

the chief were a little disappointing,” said Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, about suggestions the city could create new bylaws. “All we can hope is we get some direction or better ideas soon.” El-Chantiry asked if police could raid the dispensaries and seize drugs that are being sold illegally, egardless of whether charges are actually laid. Bordeleau said they need to do an investigation before obtaining a search warrant to be able to confiscate drugs, and it would be more complicated than just going in and seizing materials. Bergman said “it’s easy to get a search warrant” and thought El-Chantiry had a valid suggestion that could help solve the issue. “Trying to jam a square peg in a round hole may not work,” Bergman said. “But there’s other ways to do this.”

Giving back to the hospital he works in During the nine years that Dr. Jasmeet Chawla has worked at Queensway Carleton Hospital, he has worked his way to becoming the lead hospitalist. Chawla specializes in internal medicine and nephrology – something the hospital was looking for. This hospital has become a large part of Chawla’s life, and his wife’s as well. “We’re here a lot, we’re on call a lot,” he says, touching on the long hours at the hospital. “Both of our children were born here, and we live close by. We’re involved in fundraisers for the hospital. My wife is involved with the QCH Foundation. I’ve been quite active in developing our program here. It would be hard to imagine my life without Queensway.” Chawla pauses, then talks about the people he works with. “Our colleagues are more than colleagues – they’re friends. We socialize with them; we share our troubles and our joys. It’s really like a family.” The fundraisers that he is involved in were what Chawla touched on in regards to his memo-

rable moment. “I remember we did a fundraiser last year for the hospital called SEVA Walk. It’s an event that my wife and I organized, to fundraise for the new ACE Unit. The community needed to raise $3 million for this to proceed. “My wife and I are from the Sikh faith, and we thought it was a good way to get our community involved in giving back to the hospital.” The event was held at the hospital, with a goal of $50,000. They didn’t know how many people would come – they just wanted to raise a little bit of money. “By the time it was over, we’d raised about $130,000. The turnout was incredible – we had about 700 people at the hospital. It was an amazing event. I remember that night after the event I couldn’t sleep, because it was so overwhelming. It was just so nice to see our community come together, for our hospital.” Chawla said that it was important to him to get his community involved. “Historically, as Sikhs, we like to give back to the community. Com-

ing to a new country, people have a hard time trying to find a niche in how to do this. “The community was very receptive to this. They thought it would be great to show who we are, show that we are giving back to Canadian society. It was a nice way to bring up who we are.” Chawla works with his wife, Dr. Ramandeep Chawla, in the same department. They were hired together, they organize events together, and they have a life outside of the hospital together. There were two words Chawla chose to describe QCH. “Friendly and collegial,” he be-

Diabetes Awareness Month Youths! Adults! Seniors! Earn Extra Money! highlights need for action Keep Your Weekends Free! CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and Nov, 14 is World Diabetes Day. The Canadian Diabetes Association is taking this opportunity to drive diabetes awareness, as the disease has reached epidemic proportions in Canada. “With a staggering one in three Canadians already living with diabetes or prediabetes, including an estimated 1.5 million with undiagnosed diabetes, we must take action now to stop the growth and impact of this disease,” says Rick Blickstead, president and CEO of the CDA. “Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day are times to shine a spotlight on diabetes, educate Ca-

nadians about the disease, and help all of us find out our level of risk for type 2 diabetes so we can take action.” As part of this effort, the CDA’s current awareness campaign encourages everyone to visit DiabetesTest.ca to take the online Canrisk test and learn their risk level for developing type 2 diabetes. The awareness campaign takes a playful look at the misconceptions people often have about type 2 diabetes, and is a reminder that you may be at risk even if you don’t fit the stereotypical model of someone with type 2 diabetes. The CDA has also launched the 21 Day Challenge to End Diabetes, encouraging Canadians to form a new, healthy habit for 21 days and challenge others

to do the same. By taking part in this fundraiser, Canadians will improve their health and help end diabetes by raising vital funds to support diabetes research, education and support programs. “There are many risk factors for type 2 diabetes, some of which we can’t control. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can make a difference in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes,” says Dr. Jan Hux, chief science officer for the CDA. “The 21 Day Challenge is designed to help people make a positive and lasting change in their life while supporting the work of the CDA.” For more information, visit diabetes.ca or call 1-800- 2268464.

THANK YOU Great things happen when you saddle up in Toledo! The Toledo Ride-A-Thon was another success this year, but not without the help of so many people. We would like to thank all of the local businesses who sponsored our t-shirts and donated prizes for our raffle table. To our neighbours who so kindly let us use their fields and trails for the ride, we can’t thank you enough. A big appreciation to Wynn and Gina Jones for letting us use your property to start our ride. The location was absolutely perfect! To all of our volunteers who helped make the day run so smoothly, your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated. Lastly but certainly not least, a big thank you to all of our riders. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did! We look forward to seeing all of you next year! Kelly and Lorne Brownson and Lee Ann and Jim Gilligan Toledo Ride-A-Thon www.saddleupintoledo.com

TUBMAN, William Garth

September 9, 1953 – October 21, 2016 Peacefully and surrounded by family, Garth courageously gave up his battle with cancer on Friday, October 21 at the age of 63. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his beloved wife Karen; son, Kristopher (Jolene) and cherished granddaughters, Alexa, Kyla and Emma. More than anything in this world, Garth loved his family. Born and raised in Munster, Ontario, Garth married Karen in 1977 and soon headed west, settling in St. Albert in 1979. Garth was a friend to all who came in contact with him. His contagious smile and infectious laugh were his trademark. He was prominent in the St. Albert business community as the owner of Tubman’s Drycleaning at Grandin Mall for many years. Subsequently, he was proud to work as a custodian with St. Albert Public Schools, making an impact on staff and students throughout the district. But without a doubt, Garth’s most satisfying career was his past ten years with GEF Seniors’ Housing, Assistant Manager of Kiwanis Place in Edmonton. The staff and the residents were his family and no one loved his job more than this man did. Going to work gave him immense pleasure and he continued as long as possible during his difficult final months. Garth was community minded and over the years touched many lives through his involvement in Scouting, softball, hockey, Breakfast Lions Club and Special Olympics Floor Hockey. His memory will live on in his sisters; Sharon, Marguerite, Glenda (Don), Nancy; sister in law, Diane (Dave); brother in law, Kevin (Kathleen), very special nieces and nephews and many, many friends. Garth was predeceased by his parents William and Isabel Tubman; sister, Donna and his parents in law, Harold and Catherine Barr. Garth’s final weeks were spent in the Sturgeon Community Hospital where his room was filled with friends, love and laughter. The family would like to thank the caring and compassionate staff, particularly those in Unit 17. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to GEF Seniors’ Housing in Garth’s memory (gef.org and click on “Donate Online” at top of page). Funeral services will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, 125 Larose Drive in St. Albert. Garth’s life will be further celebrated at a reception held later that afternoon in the cafeteria at Paul Kane High School, 12 Cunningham Road from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. In Garth’s own words, “The value of a man’s life is measured by the quality of the egg sandwiches served at his funeral.” We promise that the egg sandwiches will absolutely be a fitting tribute to this wonderful man! To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com. Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home St. Albert Chapel (780) 458-2222

Rose, Hans Werner (November 25, 1934 – October 27, 2016)

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North RADON GAS MEETING – Come out on Nov. 21st to the Mlacak Centre (2500 Campeau) at 7 pm to find out about radon gas and what you can do to keep your home safe. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES & DRIVERLESS CARS – – City Council approved my motion to apply for a Centre of Excellence in Kanata North that would create a national software hub for autonomous vehicles here, and included the testing of driver-assist and driverless vehicles in our business park. I’m working with many partners to make this a reality. Much software for vehicles is developed here, with QNX software found in more than 60 million cars worldwide, so it would be natural for such a hub to be located in the Kanata North Business Park. This Centre of Excellence would support many existing companies and foster development of many start-up organizations.

Schools play key role in promoting kids health Almost one-third of Canadian children and youth are overweight or obese, while only nine per cent of those aged five to 17 meet the guideline of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day at least six days a week. A new report produced by the Conference Board of Canada’s Canadian Alliance for Sustainable Health Care finds that schools, particularly elementary and high schools, are ideal locations to help children and youth change their behaviour about physical activity. HIGHLIGHTS

Just nine per cent of Canadian children and youth aged five to 17 meet the guideline of 60 minutes of moderate-tovigorous physical activity per day at least six days a week. Increasing physical activity participation includes changes

to the physical education curriculum, classroom activity breaks, active commuting to school, and modified playgrounds. Schools are increasingly targeting screen time, as part of a larger effort to reduce sedentary behaviour. The report, Moving Ahead: School-Based Interventions to Reduce Physical Inactivity and Sedentary Behaviour, finds that additions or changes to the physical education curriculum were the most effective at increasing physical activity among children and youth, and provides recommendations on how schools can help them change their behaviour. Recommendations for schools to implement include the following: * Physical education curriculum: Physical education policies differ greatly across Canada with only some prov-

inces and territories setting daily requirements. Integrating physical activity into the curriculum, including new teaching methods (e.g., tactical gameplay) has demonstrated effectiveness in increasing daily physical activity. * Classroom activity breaks: Taking activity breaks either between or within lessons is proven to have a high impact on increasing physical activity. This low cost, low burden intervention does not increase teacher preparation time or decrease time spent on core subject curriculum. * Active commuting to school: Walking or cycling to and from school can increase children’s physical activity levels. This cost-effective activity can be implemented with varying resource levels; however, it tends to be more effective among older children in neighbourhoods within a safe walking distance to school.

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! 56 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, November 3, 2016

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you stand to make a strong impression this week. Others at work may see your abilities in a new light, and you could be treated differently from this point on. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, pay extra attention to the people who really matter in your life, namely your friends and family members. Redirecting your attention will yield positive results. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, nothing says work or business has to be dull. Make your workday experience more fun, and you may be more inclined to put more of yourself into your work. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it can sometimes be beneficial to escape from the hectic pace of daily life and spend some time on your own, especially if it means recharging.

Expect little time to yourself, but when you get a break, make the most of it. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Most of your plans are going to go perfectly this week, Virgo. Enjoy this stroke of good luck because you have earned it. Invite some loved ones along for the ride.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take a new approach to resolving a stalemate. If you give a little, you might end up getting a lot. Listen to the other person’s point of view more closely. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Expect your endurance to be put to the test this week, Scorpio. If you can muster some additional energy, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, wake up a few minutes earlier each day and give yourself extra time to enjoy the peace and quiet that early morning provides. You’ll start the day fresh. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, embrace others for the people they are. Each person brings something different to the table, and embracing those differences can help create lasting friendships. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, connecting with other people may become a bigger part of your job in the near future. Start polishing your social skills so you’ll be ready. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if a relationship has not been going as you had hoped, it may be time to take inventory and see what needs changing. 1103
