A Grade 10 student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School took the safety of cyclists into her own hands. Sarah Becker, who received the Youth Award during the Crime Prevention Ottawa’s annual safety awards, hosted at city hall on Nov. 6, read about the number of cyclists involved in collisions each day and decided to act. “I was surprised by how many collisions there were,” Sarah said. She invented a backpack, powered by an LED light that charges with solar energy and offers two hours of illumination after dark. See COUSIN, page 4

Top doc to leave city payroll Helping veterans with music BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s chief Medical Officer of Health, will be leaving his post in December. He has informed the board he will be joining Canadian Blood Services, as vice-president of medical affairs and innovation, in the new year. Levy said he plans to use up some vacation time. His last day as the city’s No. 1 doctor will be Dec. 15. A public statement sent out by Ottawa Public health on Nov. 6 wishes Levy well. “We would like to congratulate Dr. Levy on his prestigious appointment as vice-president medical affairs and innovation at the Canadian Blood Services, a

world-recognized organization,” the statement reads. “In the coming days and weeks, the Board of Health will be planning for the appointment of a new Medical Officer of Health and an interim plan will be will be developed until a new MOH is appointed.” In a letter to the board, Levy said all organizations benefit from leadership renewal. “I know the board, the senior leadership and the committed team at OPH will take the organization forward with steady hands and with high aspirations,” he writes. “I will follow the organization’s future successes with interest and with pride. I wish you all the very best.” Levy said he’s looking

forward to his new role and continuing to serve the community in a new capacity. He will continue to function as MOH until his last day — which includes seeking approvals for the 2018 OPH budget, which was presented to the board for the first time on Oct. 30. “Every day I have felt immense pride about the positive impact that the dedicated and committed team of professionals at OPH, working with our board and with our municipal partners have had on the lives of people in this city,” Levy said. He added he has a sense of fulfilment when thinking about the work that helped to make Ottawa a vibrant city where people are healthy, safe and engaged.

STAFF

Any community member interested in supporting the wellness of our veterans and serving members are invited to attend Séan McCann’s Guitars for Vets Play Your Part Songwriter’s Circle on Nov. 10. The benefit concert includes Sarah Harmer, Joel Plaskett and Jeremy Fisher. McCann is aiming to raise enough money to purchase 700 guitars for veterans of Guitars for Vets, a program of Veterans Emergency Transition Services Canada. Jim Lowther, founder and president of Guitars for Vets Canada notes: “The goal of the event is to bring the therapeutic power of music to serving and retired members of the CAF and the RCMP who are dealing with the invisible wounds of their service. It’s time to shine some light on the importance of the mental health issues faced by the men and women who have served and continue to serve our

country.” “I feel so honored to be able to help support this amazing cause,” adds McCann, national ambassador of Guitars for Vets. “Music heals, and I know this first hand. “Those who served our country deserve the chance to learn this as well.” The concert takes place at the Algonquin Commons Theatre, 1385 Woodroffe Ave. Tickets are available at www.ticketfly.com/purchase/

event/1474988. The Guitars for Vets program allows veterans and currently serving members of the CAF and RCMP suffering with PTSD or other servicerelated injuries to explore the healing powers of music. Participants are provided with a new or gently used guitar and free online lessons or – when and where available – a volunteer instructor. Learn more at www.vetscanada.org/ guitars-for-vets.php.

Cousin’s tragic death spurred teen’s backpack invention Continued from page 1

The backpack tells cars if the cyclists is turning — left or right — as well as stopping, through a wireless remote control connected to the bike’s handlebars. The inspiration came in part due to a cousin’s tragic death following a motorcycle accident. The theme of this year’s award was building safe communities. Crime Prevention Ottawa board

chair Shad Qadri said it can be as simple as a new safety product — such as the bike backpack — or offering a safe space for a neighbour. There were nine award recipients from across the city, including Timbercreek Communities, who nabbed the Landlord Award for their work to combat violent crime in the Herongate community to the Canadian Somali Mother’s Association, who worked in the community and with the school board to see why there

were a disproportionate number of Somali youth involved in the criminal justice system. Nicole Courchesne, who received the Volunteer Award for her work in the Neighbourhood Watch at the Alliance Housing Co-operative in Greenboro, said she visits with an elderly neighbour during the day to offer company and crosswords. “I do it because that’s the kind of community I want to live in,” she said. This year’s award recipients are: • Community Program Award — MERIT • Volunteer Award — Nicole Courchesne • Landlord Award Timbercreek Communities • Youth Award — Sarah Becker • Business Award — Circle K Stores • Volunteer Program Award — Canadian Somali Mothers Association • Leadership Award — Christine • Longstanding Contribution Award — National Capital Area Crime Stoppers.

As is normal in the world of social media, Twitter captured the day best when @Lyonaboot pointed out ‘only in Canada would schools have a field trip to a hockey game.’ 13,567 noisy Ottawa-area schoolchildren filled the Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 1 to participate in the Ottawa 67’s annual School Day Game. Students from more than 30 schools from all over the city were bused in for the field trip and they brought the noise. The game against the Kingston Frontenacs was the third-loudest game at the NHL Senators’ home rink this season. Only the Senators' contests against Montreal and Toronto were louder, due mostly to the fact half of the arena for those games were filled with opposing team fans. The 67’s game could have even been louder if the home team was able to put together a more exciting fight against Kingston, but ended up losing 5-1. Either way, it was the largest crowd to take in a 67’s game this season, and that crowd was excited. Throughout the game, the chant of ‘fight, fight, fight’ was audible all around the rink. This was the first time Huntley Centennial Grade 7 student Vincent Nguyen has ever attended a 67’s game or been in the Canadian Tire Centre. “It’s pretty exciting, very loud,” he told the West Carleton Review. The student plays road hockey, soccer and tennis with his family and says this is the first time he has attended a sporting event of this magnitude. St. Isidore Catholic School Grade 6 student Matthew Anderson has a bit more experience having attended more than 25 67’s games and about the same amount of Ottawa Senators games. He felt this field trip was pretty special just the same. “There are more kids here than adults,” Matthew said. Matthew plays Pee Wee Major AA hockey with the Kanata Lasers and considers himself a student of the game. He says he expects big things from this year’s edition of the 67’s. “They play well, they just need to regroup,” Matthew said. Matthew says despite being a regular, this is a pretty fun event. “I enjoy coming, like hockey and I get to miss school,” he said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH City Councillor, Kanata North STEPHEN LEACOCK SCHOOL – Last week Stephen Leacock School was closed due to problems with the amount of rain received.

Kanata Lakes residents encouraged to re-establish community association Meeting planned for Nov. 14 BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Kanata Lakes is currently without a community association and a meeting set for Nov. 14 may just change that. The neighbourhood has been without an active association for a number of years, meaning there’s been no collective voice on issues concerning the community, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The meeting will be an opportunity “to find out what people think needs to happen in Kanata Lakes,” she said. Community associations are often a link for residents – creating awareness and providing information about issues,

MEETING DETAILS The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 14, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Beaverbrook library, 2500 Campeau Dr.

events or other items relating to the neighbourhood. When dealing with various levels of government on local matters, associations offer a united opinion. “It has a non-political view on what’s happening in a very localized community,” Wilkinson said. “They become the eyes and ears, and can raise issues with their councillor and city staff.” She cited the recent work undertaken by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and its successful bid to reach a compromise with Hydro One on the utility’s planned vegetation trimming in a power line corridor. With a host of upcoming developments in the Kanata Lakes area – including work in the KNL and Kanata Town Centre lands as well as the next phase of the neighbouring Richardson Ridge community – residents should strongly consider reforming a community association, she said. “Issues do happen,” Wilkinson said. “Right now there’s no community association there to speak up for them.” Other areas of interest for residents include the future of light-rail transit in Kanata,

Kanata Lakes should have an active community association with the amount of upcoming development work in the area, which includes the KNL lands, says Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. KNL began tree removal on Jan. 4, 2017. as well as the possible renewal of the nuisance mosquito program, which will be discussed in two years. “It doesn’t take a lot of peo-

ple to create awareness,” said Wilkinson. “Hopefully we’ll get people who will put their names forward.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Take time to remember

emembrance Day falls on a Saturday this year, so we can expect even larger turnouts than ever at the various Remembrance ceremonies around the region, including the service at the National War Memorial at Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. But Saturday or not, Remembrance Day services have been attracting more and more in recent years as appreciation for the service of those in the Armed Forces both in the past and today continues to grow. The 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge marked earlier this year further enhanced our view of the sacrifices made in battle by so many thousands of young Canadian soldiers on that muddy battlefield a century ago. Indeed, many claim that Canada came of age as a nation due to battles like Vimy and Passchendaele in the First World War. It has taken decades, though, for Canadians in general to realize the horrors of war which these soldiers endured, battling in overseas lands to protect our freedom and democracy here in Canada. Slowly, there has been increasing awareness of these wartime — and peacetime — sacrifices by Canadian soldiers. So, today it is not unusual to hear a soldier in uniform, perhaps riding a bus, being thanked for his or her service or someone in conversation thanking a person for his or her service when learning of their

military involvement. In this world of terrorism and war in so many places around the world, there is now evolving an ever-increasing respect and admiration for those who are putting their lives on the line to protect our way of life in Canada. But Remembrance Day is serving yet another function as well. It serves to focus the attention of Canadians on their country and how fortunate we as Canadians are to live in such a free and open society where people can pursue their dreams and aspirations. So Remembrance Day, while a time of sombre remembrance, is also a time of reflective celebration, knowing that thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of so many, we are a country where the rule of law and respect for all prevail. We are fortunate to live in such a country and we must never forget that Canada is what it is today because so many died and so many more have served on the battlefields of Europe, Korea and elsewhere in the world. We are a country formed by the experiences of war but, thankfully, are not adherents of such warlike behaviour. Knowing our history and, more importantly, remembering it must never be lost. Respecting Remembrance Day is one way of ensuring this as the years go on.

Who’s ready for legalized pot? How about nobody?

s we lurch toward the July 1 celebration of marijuana becoming legal in Canada, we encounter confusing signposts along the way. For example, just the other day it was announced that a giant U.S. liquor company will partner with a Smiths Falls company to make cannabisinfused drinks. Already such drinks, with fruity flavours to appeal to young people, are on sale in U.S. states where marijuana is legal. Drinkable marijuana: did anybody think about that when legalization was being hailed? Given that there is already edible marijuana, the cookies, gummy bears and, yes, cotton candy already in production, one of the major drawbacks to marijuana use — having to smoke it — is being removed. So more people will be able to use it easily. Including more kids.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Another signpost: 58.5 per cent of Canadians in a recent survey said they had concerns about children and youth having greater access to recreational marijuana when it is legal. This despite the federal government’s claim that legalization of marijuana will make it somehow less available to young people. Interestingly, the drinkable marijuana story coincides with another news item, in which the federal Liberal government announces a five-year, $36.4-million campaign to help teach Canadians — especially young Canadians ones — about the health and safety

risks of using marijuana. Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition of addiction-research people to legalization and concerns expressed in the medical community about the effects of marijuana on young brains. Here’s another signpost: Richmond, B.C. city council has voted unanimously to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments outlining its opposition to legalization. The council is asking for jurisdiction to impose stricter rules, and to allow councils and landlords to bar marijuana use in their buildings. “The federal government is going to do what they’re going to do,” said one councillor. “But we as a city must be allowed to control where and how those products are being sold.” Richmond’s statement is but one example of the peculiar governmental framework surrounding legalization — namely, that the federal govern-

Invitation to an enchanted evening: Nov. 18 The Canadian Federation of University Women in Kanata is hosting its fifth annual community concert and art exhibition: Enchanted Mosaic...an evening with the Arts, on Saturday, Nov. 18 at Earl of March Secondary School. This is a major fundraiser for scholarships offered each year to local students about to enter university or college. The theme of this year’s event is Canada 150. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with an engaging art display of handmade quilts, some of which are part of the provincewide Inter-Guild Canada 150 Travelling Quilts Trunk Show. In addition, the Kanata Quilt Guild will exhibit a selection of beautiful quilts, includ-

ing quilted wall hangings and three-dimensional pieces such as baskets and jackets. The art exhibition also features interactive elements such as hand and machine quilting demonstrations and opportunities to contribute to two quilts under construction. Attendees are invited to write the name of an inspirational Canadian woman on one of the backing fabrics, and on the second backing, the name of a place in Canada that they love. These signed fabrics will be integrated into the final quilts. One will become a Quilt of Valour. It will be given to a member of the Armed Forces who has suffered injury during military

service. The second quilt will be donated to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice. A silent auction in the high school foyer will also open at 6 p.m. Along with an assortment of interesting auction items, a collaborative quilt specially crafted for this show will be offered to the highest bidder. Successful bids may be settled with cash or a cheque made out to CFUW/Kanata. MUSIC

At 7 p.m., Chinese musicians will start the musical variety show. The show is a lively mix of dance, instrumental, and voice performances highlighting very talented local enter-

tainers. It features three choirs including Canterbury High School’s senior performance choir Vocum. International opera singers Diana Sharp and Irina Solovieva are contributing their professional artistry. CFUW’s own Guitar Groovers will sing and play a medley of popular Canadian songs and invite the audience to sing along with them. Other performers in the varied line up include Nia dancers, Canada 150 OttaW(olly)wood dancers, Chinese folk dancers, and a Guzheng recital by Angela Wang. The finale will be a massed choir singing Jeanette Arse-

nault’s hit song “This is My Canada/Mon Cher Canada. We are most grateful to the performance artists all of whom have agreed to donate their time to the concert. This is a family show suitable for all ages. It takes place in the Earl of March Secondary School auditorium and lobby and there is plenty of free parking. Tickets are $20 (adults), $10 (16 and under) and $45 (family of five) and can be purchased using PayPal on our website www.cfuwkanata.ca/2017-Enchanted-Mosaic , at the door, or by calling 613-592-0124. CFUW is a non-partisan,

voluntary, self-funded organization with over 100 CFUW Clubs located in every province across Canada. Since its founding in 1919, CFUW has been working to improve the status of women and to promote human rights, public education, social justice, and peace. Each year, CFUW clubs award close to $1 million in scholarships, bursaries, and fellowships to help women and girls pursue post-secondary education.

The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a new name! After 35 years of supporting local families living with dementia, the local non-profit organization has changed its name to “The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County” to more properly reflect the constituency it helps and the scope of its expertise. When the organization first came into being, Alzheimer’s disease was the best known and most prevalent form of dementia. This has changed and Alzheimer’s disease is now thought to represent less than 30% of all dementias.* “Our organization has always worked with people challenged by Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, Parkinsonian and other dementias but this has not been reflected in our name,” says Paddy Bowen, Chief Executive Director of the newly named The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. “We are also cognizant of the growing tide of interest in dementia as reflected by the recently announced Ontario Dementia Strategy and the National Dementia Strategy.” The Dementia Society is here to help. We offer: • One to one support • Social programs • Peer support • Information and resources • Education Because no one should face dementia alone.

$1,199,900

Marking 200 years

On Nov. 4, a group of Kanata Baha’is and friends gathered at the Beaverbrook library to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha’i faith. The global festivities involving people of thousands of ethnic backgrounds demonstrate a key message of Baha’u’llah’s life and teachings. Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was a special guest at the event. The program included the movie “The Light to the World,” a film produced to celebrate the bicentennial. The film depicts the highlights of the life of Baha’u’llah and his teachings for mankind.

Ottawa LRT train naming contest launches for students ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Trainy McTrainface? That was Mayor Jim Watson’s quip as a possible name for one of Ottawa’s 34 light-rail transit trains that will be running along the east-west Confederation line, which opens next year, and six on the north-south Trillium line. The Ottawa Express, Canada Rail, Safe Train, Candy Train and Thomas were other pitches put forward by schoolchildren from Gloucester High, Immaculata Catholic High School and Des Pins Catholic elementary school as city officials launched a train naming contest at the Belfast LRT maintenance and storage facility on Nov. 2. OC Transpo staff later said on Twitter that Trainy McTrainface has already been used in Sweden, and that the name has too many characters to be eligible for the Ottawa contest. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, chair of the city’s transit commission, said the contest is a chance for kids and youth in the city to get involved in the LRT project and “Ottawa’s future.” “Our young residents are going to grow up riding these trains, and we’re very excited to give them an opportunity to be part of the city’s LRT legacy and name the trains that they will be

travelling on,” Watson said. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chair of the city’s transportation committee, said there will be 34 Alstom-built trains on the Confederation line, plus six diesel trains on the north-south Trillium line, that will each need a name. The contest is open to kids in Ottawa ages 16 and under until Dec. 8. Participants can submit as many entries as they like, but each can only win once. Names are to be related to trains, a train service or feature a Canadian or Ottawa connection. They must be bilingual or easily translated, be 16 characters or less, as well as friendly, pleasant and easy to remember, Egli said, adding that famous Canadians, an animal that lives in the Ottawa region, a popular city landmark or an Ottawa-related cultural or historical reference can serve as inspirations. “Think of it this way. You may have been named after a grandparent or an aunt or an uncle,” he told the high school and elementary students. “You may have been named after a character from literature or a historical figure,” Egli said. “You may even have been given a name because it sounded strong or beautiful or inspirational or just plain cool.” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty told the young crowd they have to give

His great grandparents, who lived on a farm in the Ottawa Valley, told him that in 1910, 90 per cent of all Canadians lived in rural areas. McGuinty also told the students that by the time they are 20 years old, 90 per cent will be living in an urban

environment, and that the Ottawa and Gatineau region is one of the fastest growing in the country. He said the LRT network is key to reducing pollution and addressing climate change.

“That’s also why these trains are so important, that’s why this system is so important for us and that’s also why it’s really cool for all of you to be here,” he said. Contest winners will be invited to a special event in 2018 with Watson and his council colleagues to reveal the new names. Pizza may be on the menu, the mayor hinted, prompting a buzz of excitement. Watson also had a spur-of-the-moment idea to invite the winners to ride the entire length of the system on opening day. “And of course you’ll have the pride of knowing that the name you’ve submitted will be placed on one of the LRT trains,” he said.

Perley Rideau, Ottawa Hospital launch ‘cutting edge’ elderly patient diversion unit ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new partnership will return more hospitalized seniors to their homes, diverting them from extensive long-term care wait lists and freeing up hospital beds. Calling it “a turning point,” Akos Hoffer, chief executive of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, said starting in the New Year, elderly patients who are close to recovering from illness or surgery will be transferred from the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses to the Perley’s new 20-bed enhanced convalescent care unit. The pilot program is considered the first-ofits-kind in Canada. The institutions are collaborating, thanks to $750,000 from the Ontario government, to ensure elderly patients heal quicker and return home, rather than remain in hospital for upwards of three months, possibly decline and end up in long-term care, which can take months to years to secure. It’s expected to free up hospital beds, reducing wait times in emergency rooms. Of the 150 patients currently at the Ottawa Hospital waiting for a long-term care bed, at least 60 would be eligible to recover at the Perley’s new unit, said Dr. Jeff Turnbull, the hospital’s chief of staff. “We hope this will significantly improve flow,” he said. “Our goal today is to take pressure off hospitals and long-term care homes by helping seniors get better so that they can return home and avoid lingering in the hospital,” said Hoffer.

Average stays at the Perley’s SAFE unit, or sub-acute care for frail elderly, will be three to four weeks. During that time patients will be cared for by their family doctor, but also have access to diagnostics, such as blood tests and X-rays, as well as specialist physicians from the Ottawa Hospital who will make rounds at the unit, and also Perley staff trained in acute care. As they recover, they will also benefit from a roster of services and programs, ranging from physical therapy and paint classes, as well as experts and volunteers already available at the health centre. “We have a lot to offer,” Hoffer said. The 450 people who already call the Perley home will also benefit from the increased access to the Ottawa Hospital’s in-house diagnostics and physicians. The partnership was a natural fit for the neighbouring institutions (the General campus is just 900 metres from the Perley). “We realized we were caring for the same people,” said Hoffer. “We had an institution right beside us that specializes in care of the frail and elders,” said Turnbull. Chantale LeClerc, chief executive of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, said this “cutting-edge” initiative is an answer to Erin McCracken/Metroland the pressures faced by the health-care system. The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre is partnering with the Ottawa Hospital to “Our population is growing; it’s aging; our create a first-of-its-kind unit where elderly hospital patients will be transferred to recover diseases are getting more complicated; our treatand to return them home sooner. Taking part in the Oct. 27 announcement were the Otments are getting more complex,” she said. See 20-BED, page 29

20-bed unit to reduce ER and long-term care waits, return seniors home sooner Continued from page 28

But this pilot is a “beautiful example of thinking outside the box,” said Leclerc. “This is really about stretching our thinking about our concept of hospital. It’s stretching our thinking about our concept of long-term care homes, and it’s coming up with something that bridges the two and is a little bit different.” ROOM TO EXPAND

Calling the new unit “a first step,” Hoffer said it could become the approach to follow.

“We know there’s going to be a massive increase in the number of seniors everywhere, but especially here in Ottawa and especially in this area,” he said. The Perley has already been in discussions with the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Nepean. “If we, as one hospital, have at least 60 (eligible patients) you can imagine what the Montfort, the Queensway Carleton and others might have too,” Turnbull said. “There’s a huge need.” There is also potential to expand the unit at the Perley if the pilot program proves suc-

cessful. Today, it is home to 235 warservice veterans who served overseas, plus another 15 modern veterans who became eligible to live there earlier this year. Another 40 modern vets are on the waiting list for longterm care. But the reality is, the numbers will decline. “There are going to be less veterans, so we’re going to have less priority access beds,” Hoffer said of the Perley’s mandate to reserve a certain number of its beds for veterans. “We have capacity to do more.” The creation of the new unit comes on the heels of the On-

tario government’s announcement on Oct. 23 that it will provide $100 million for 1,200 hospital beds and $40 million for home-care services. In Ottawa, that will translate to 45 beds at the Ottawa Hospital, five at the Queensway Carleton, five at the Montfort Hospital, 12 in supportive housing at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Perley’s 20-bed unit. It’s about supporting “unique, innovating things that we haven’t tried yet,” said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, parliamentary assistant to Ontario’s minister of health and long-term care.

Kanata gallery artists readying for signature exhibit Variety of original works available at 24th annual Gift of Art show and sale BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s signature Gift of Art show and sale will feature hundreds of works by 29 different artists. Now in its 24th year, the event continues to be a highlight in the local art community. “It’s a lovely opportunity for us,” said textile artist and member of the gallery Judi Miller. “We enjoy it and I think the public picks up on that.” The two-day event — which takes place Nov. 18 and 19 — typically sees hundreds of attendees come through the doors to peruse the new art works, talk with the artists and purchase original pieces.

“It’s just really nice to see those people year after year,” said Miller, who has been participating in the annual show for around 15 years. “It’s a good experience. People will let you know how they feel — the good, bad and indifferent.” There will be a wide variety of media — from oil, watercolour, encaustic and acrylic paintings, to photography, textile art, sculpture and others — available in numerous styles, from the abstract to high realism, while ranging in size and price point. “I think people are surprised to see how affordable original artwork is,” said Miller, who lives in Beaverbrook.

Canadians gather on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, around cenotaphs, parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes each year to observe a moment of silence and to mark sacrifices that have come from war.

Julie Payette as well as representatives of the government of Canada will attend the ceremony. Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion David Flannigan and members of veterans organizations and diplomatic corps will also be in attendance. The Silver Cross Mother this year is Diana Abel of Brampton, Ont. Abel will place a wreath, in honour of her only son Cpl. Michael David Abel who was killed in the line of duty on May 3, 1993 while serving in Belet Huen, Somalia as part of a United Nations peacekeeping effort during the early part of the Somali civil war. VIEWING

Spectators are encouraged to come early to the National War Memorial to get a good vantage point. The ceremony will also be projected on jumbo screens set up around the memorial with numerous speakers broadcasting the audio of the entire ceremony. From 8:30 to 10 a.m., the Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be displayed on these screens. According to the legion, Canadians have been “building” this virtual wall of almost 2,000 photographs of Veterans who have now passed.

History of the poppy ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. Fields that had been barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the popaver rhoeas to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” on a scrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day following the death of a fellow soldier. Little did he know those 13 lines would become enshrined in the hearts and minds of all who would wear them. McCrae’s poem was published in Punch Magazine in December of that same year, and the poem later served as inspiration three years later for Moina Michael, an American teacher. Michael made a pledge to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. During a visit to the United States in

1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom. Guerin decided to make and sell poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas of France. The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada (our predecessor) officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. Today, the poppy is worn each year during the Remembrance period to honour Canada’s Fallen. The Legion also encourages the wearing of a poppy for the funeral of a veteran and for any commemorative event honouring fallen veterans. It is not inappropriate to wear a poppy during other times to commemorate fallen veterans and it is an individual choice to do so, as long as it’s worn appropriately. Thanks to the millions of Canadians who wear the Legion’s lapel poppy each November, the little red flower has never died, and the memories of those who fell in battle remain strong.

Submit a photo for Virtual Wall Pilgrimage of Remembrance As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on Nov. 11. Deceased Canadian veterans (including those who were part of the merchant navy and ferry command), whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour. • Include high resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed). • Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged. • One image for each honoured veteran will be used • No original photographs, service records or other documentation please; they cannot be

returned. Submissions will be included in the 2018 edition. Send photos to the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa ON, K2L 0A1 or RememberingThem@legion. ca.

The Royal Canadian Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance began in 1928 with a visit to Vimy, France, for the unveiling of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Since that time, promoting a pilgrimage has been a part of our efforts to encourage Remembrance. Pilgrimages are conducted every two years. The next Pilgrimage of Remembrance is scheduled for July, 2019. Please note the Legion’s Pilgrimage is conducted

in English. Individuals wishing to attend the pilgrimage should indicate their interest to the Dominion Command Coordinator, Danny Martin: dmartin@legion.ca Today’s pilgrimage encompasses some of the most important, as well as some of the least known, events of the First World War and the Second World War. Over 15 days, pilgrims experience being in the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy, and visit sites throughout Northern France and Belgium. They also experience the emotions of the Veterans, and of those they liberated. Ceremonies of Remembrance will be conducted at the cemeteries where so many Canadians found their final rest-

ing place. Taking a pilgrimage is important for a variety of reasons. For those who fought on the battlefields, a pilgrimage provides an opportunity to not only visit their fallen comrades, but for closure that may only be possible through revisiting the site(s) of so many memories. For those who lost family and loved ones on the fields, a pilgrimage is a way to shorten the distance between home and the site of their loss. For people who only connect with the battlefields through history books and our Canadian heritage, visiting these sites is an opportunity to more fully understand the sacrifices that were made by many for the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.

Time to remember the sacrifices of so many — Vous n’êtes pas oublié(e)s!

Ottawa’s old train station is front and centre at art show BY MELISSA MURRAY

mmurray@metroland.com

A fitting new exhibition is rolling into the former CN railroad bank. Bhat Boy’s exhibition, called the Old Train Station, featuring scenes from Ottawa’s original train station downtown will be showcased at the Orange Art Gallery from Nov. 2 to 19. This is Bhat Boy’s second exhibition at the gallery, after his work showing the fire on Parliament Hill was displayed last year. “One of the things that really interested me is that the old train station was the hub of industrial Ottawa before it became a government town,” Bhat Boy said in an interview. “It was another time and another Ottawa.” He also drew inspiration from conversations with his neighbour Evelyn Scrivens,

who moved to Ottawa during the First World War and married Bill Scrivens, who went on to found Scrivens Insurance and Investment Solutions. Before that, when Evelyn met him, Bill worked at a dealership across from the train station where the trains turned around. “She used to tell me all these stories about Ottawa.” When painting the pieces for the exhibit, Bhat Boy put himself in her shoes, imagining what the city was like through her eyes during her teenage years. One work is even named after her. It’s entitled Evelyn Scrivens’ Imminent Honeymoon Departure and shows her in a 1920s wedding dress waiting to get on the train in the dead of winter. Bhat Boy said he takes some creative liberties with his paintings, but used archival photographs to nail down some of the details.

“Being a painter, I get to invent my own approach,” he said, adding that way people can create their own stories from the work. “That’s what good art does. That’s why we can look at a painting from the 1500s and still be engaged with it if it is a good piece of storytelling artwork, then we are still tied into it.” The timing for a show focusing on the downtown landmark is interesting as well, as the old building is undergoing significant renovations to house the senate next year. The show was a natural fit for the Orange Art Gallery based on its former function as the railroad bank, said owner Ingrid Hollander. “I guess I have a thing for trains,” she said. “Bhat Boy uses his own sense of whimsy and puts it into these city scenes.” There are about 16 pieces

Bhat Boy/Submitted

Bhat Boy’s exhibition, the Old Train Station, runs at the Orange Art Gallery on City Centre Avenue from Nov. 2 to 19. in the exhibit. According to a press release, the old train station, built in 1909 and located across from the Chateau Laurier was closed in 1966. The Grand Trunk Station officially opened in 1912,

bringing historic arrivals and departures, including New Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry departing for the First World War before the station was renamed to Union Station. It was the arrival and de-

parture points for everyone from King George VIII and Queen Elizabeth, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and even Elvis. The gallery is located at 290 City Centre Ave.

A few of the usual suspects make Ottawa’s top-10 intersection crash list ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The city’s newly released top-10 list of high-collision intersections in 2016 stars some of the usual suspects. • Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive is in the No. 1 spot — for another consecutive year — with 43 crashes. • Second place was next door at West Hunt Club Road and Prince of Wales Drive, which saw 36 crashes. • Third place was at West Hunt Club Road at Woodroffe Avenue with 35 collisions. • Montreal Road and Vanier Parkway, and Hunt Club and Hawthorne roads tied for fourth with 33 crashes. • The juncture at Cyrville and Innes Roads was next with 31 collisions. City staff are planning to tackle the top five by installing high-collisionarea warning signs by the end of this year to warn drivers to keep a safe difference between vehicles. “Of the 10 locations, other than Kirkwood and Carling, all the others have the highest type of collision as the rear end,” said Philippe Landry, the city’s director of traffic services. Kirkwood and Carling predominantly suffers from side-swipes as cars come off the Queensway and try to

turn left onto Kirkwood, but Landry said that will be addressed when the Queensway is widened from Maitland Avenue to Carling Avenue in the next couple of years. All of the intersections on the list are highly congested, Landry said. The worst time to be at Riverside and Hunt Club is weekdays between 11 a.m. and noon. And Fridays in March tend to result in more fenderbenders, he said. City-wide, the most vehicle crashes happen Fridays in January largely thanks to Mother Nature, while collisions involving pedestrians tend to be in October and November. “The distracted driving’s really gone up. Speeding’s always been there,” Landry added. The report offered some positives, including a reduction of about 1,000 reportable collisions across the city, putting the 2016 total at 14,023. River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward includes the Hunt ClubRiverside crossroads, said he wasn’t surprised to see that intersection at the top of the list, given the 80,000 vehicles that move through there every day. “This is one of the highest-volume intersections in the city,” he said. But, he noted, the number of col-

44 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, November 9, 2017

lisions there dropped from 60 in 2015 to 43 in 2016, according to the report, released Nov. 3. Of the reported crashes, six people suffered minor injuries, largely because most crashes were lowimpact fender-benders, Brockington said, adding there were no fatalities and no major injuries. Eighty-four per cent were rear-end crashes, said Landry, with the most happening at the turns. There were 24 rear-end bumps there in 2015, but 11 in 2016, which Landry characterized as “a big reduction.” The bulk of collisions are in a turning lane as motorists swing left from Riverside onto West Hunt Club, one of the city’s busiest east-west routes, second only to Highway 417, said Brockington. HUNT CLUB STRETCH

“I think the real story is Hunt Club Road itself. Of the top-10 intersections for collisions, five are on Hunt Club,” Brockington said, also referring to Bank Street and Hunt Club Road, which also made the list. “I would hazard a guess that Hunt Club moves more cars than Carling, than Baseline and any other east-west

road,” he said. “The intersection is not able to process the volume of cars.” Traffic flow is key, particularly with new developments going in, such as Claridge’s proposal to construct a seniors’ residence and hotel further east on Hunt Club. “Hunt Club basically between Bank and the Hunt Club bridge is a parking lot” during rush hour, said Brockington. “The question isn’t how do you make it more safe, but how can the volume of traffic move better?” Landry said staff monitor traffic cameras mounted at several Hunt Club intersections. “This allows us to make signal-timing adjustments when we see a direction that is more congested than any other direction,” said Landry. “Our traffic operators are always keeping an eye on Hunt Club, as it is one of the busiest corridors in the city. “ Earlier this year, staff extended the left-turn lane from Riverside to Hunt Club, Brockington said. And signs warning motorists to maintain a safe difference from other vehicles will be installed soon, at his request. It’s hoped the south extension of the light-rail line to Bowesville near Riverside South will help relieve congestion, given the growth in Barrhav-

en, Findlay Creek, Riverside South and Greely. “I don’t want this intersection to be a chronic one in the city,” he said. BY THE NUMBERS

Algonquin students hold rally to voice frustrations over strike CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Algonquin College students are sick of being stuck in the middle of a strike between OPSEU and the College Employer Council. And after two weeks of no school and little word between sides, they are making their voices heard. The Algonquin College Students Association held a rally on Nov. 3 at the college to call for those in attendance to get in touch with their MPPs and implore the provincial government to step in. “Students are a focal point of our college system and not an afterthought,” said Brett Parnell, member of the Algonquin SA board of directors to the rally-goers. “Therefore today I need you all to be contacting

your local members of provincial parliament.” Students with signs at the rally echoed the sentiments of the SA with a majority of them slamming both sides for using the students at a bargaining chip. According to SA president Victoria Ventura, students must demand what’s best for them in this complicated situation. “We have missed 14 full days of our semester and I’m confident in saying we won’t be back in class on Monday,” said Ventura. “Being pro-student doesn’t mean you’re inherently antifaculty or anti-administration. This is not a case of if you’re not with us, you’re against us, in this situation it’s so complex that it can’t just be that simple. We’re all in this together and that’s the point.” The impact on students continues

to grow. Fall convocation has been cancelled and students that were due to graduate this November must now wait until June. Whether or not the rest of the semester will be cancelled is still up in the air, and with negotiations resuming just last Thursday there is still a lot of ground to cover. “The students association has been consistently vocal that we respect the collective bargaining process,” said Ventura. “Even the faculty’s right to strike. In the end though, what we want is an agreement to be reached that’s fair and feasible for both sides and to get students back to class.” Ventura went on to implore rallygoers to get in touch with their MPPs and demand that if an agreement is not made by Monday Nov. 6, that they must apply pressure to the process to ensure a speedy resolution.

This Remembrance Day marks the 99th passing year since the end of The Great War. We know it as the war that gave birth to Canada as a nation with a true national identity. We remember it as Canada’s bloodiest conflict. Every passing year we lose or physical connection to our military past, and that is why we cannot forget the horrors that the world once withstood. We cannot forget the tyranny that Canadians have fought and died to stop, to secure a free and peaceful world. This year, as we do every year, we turn our attention to those that serve and that have served. They come from all over, our family, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow Canadians; we thank them for their service and self-sacrifice. We will remember them.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Remembrance Day This Saturday, let us honour the valour and sacrifice of those Canadian women and men who have served and continue to serve in the defense of peace, freedom, and democracy. Their unparalleled bravery and distinction has been an example of the best in all of us: courage in the face of danger, tenacity for building a better world, and selfless sacrifice made by themselves and their families. Please join me on Saturday November 11th at Colchester Square in Kanata for the Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony, and please be sure to support one of the numerous poppy campaigns in our community. I urge all Canadians to seek out our Veterans, to seek out serving members of the Armed Forces, and also their families, and tell them how grateful you are for their service and sacrifice. I know that is what I will be doing on November 11th. Lest we forget.

Keep Ottawa Warm As the cold weather sets in, we must remember those in our communities who will be the most affected. I have joined the #KeepOttawaWarm campaign by placing a donation box outside my office door at 555 Legget Drive, Suite 121, for anyone to come by and donate their winter clothing. Donations will go to the Ottawa Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, and Cornerstone Housing for Women. Please consider donating some clothing so that everyone can keep warm.

Town Hall – Thursday November 16 Our next “Let’s Talk” takes place next week, on Thursday November 16th, from 6:30 - 8:30 pm at the Kanata Recreation Centre (Hall A). I look forward to meeting and hearing from Constituents on those issues of most importance to the community. We will talk about a broad array of issues and I will be happy to answer any questions that those attending may have.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all. Please feel free to contact our office at 613-592-3469 or by email at Karen.McCrimmon@parl.gc.ca. Please follow me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/karenmccrimmon.ca/

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household

here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. f not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone! The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat “biscuits,” divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and some-

sudoku

horoscopes

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 An emotional encounter that you have with someone close to you gives you clarity and peace of mind, Aries. This is the catalyst for making personal changes that improve your life.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Optimism abounds this week, Leo. You are ready to tackle any project big or small. Even though you may feel like you can take on the world, enlist a few helpers.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your great imagination often causes you to be the life of any gathering, Sagittarius. This week you may have to let others’ creativity take center stage.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it’s good to want to help others. But do not let someone take advantage of your generosity. Be as accommodating as you can and then communicate your feelings.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Safeguard your personal information, Virgo, because not everyone you meet is on the up and up. Be cautious without being suspicious and things will turn out fine.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Changes, particularly early in the week, will do you good, Capricorn. Rearrange the furniture or even try out a new hairstyle for some new perspective.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, spend time fixing up your home this week or doing things that are geared around family. This is a great time for parents and children or even extended family to get together.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you can make a big difference by contributing time, money or both. Don’t hesitate to pitch in. Celebrate all that you have accomplished with someone you love.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take some time to do something with your partner, who can probably use your help right now. This can change your life emotionally and financially.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you can dedicate your time to something that will educate you further on an area of concentration you want to pursue. It may be a charitable cause.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, remain tight-lipped about a positive development. You won’t have to stay silent forever, but wait a little longer to share the news.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Hoping and wishing for something without taking any action will not lead to satisfaction, Cancer. Figure out what you hope to achieve and then work toward that goal.
