Hard work pays off, Gov. Gen. Payette tells students Continued from page 1
“She said it’s the first time that she saw a school having those two vocations and, she said, ‘I’m going to be there with all my heart,’” said Dumont. “For us it’s very important to mix both of them because
it brings the innovation and the imagination out of the children,” said Linda Savard, president of the French public school board of Eastern Ontario and trustee for Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton, Nepean and Barrhaven. Following the official un-
veiling ceremony, Payette addressed the students in French and spoke about obstacles she faced in achieving her goal to become an astronaut, as well as the rewards she reaped for not giving up. Hard work and determination pays off, she said, adding she hopes the stu-
dents will continue to work hard to achieve their dreams. The school received $4.5 million in ministry funding in 2014 for a new 21-classroom addition as the student population continued to grow. The school had 13 to 14 portables in its yard last
year, said Savard. “We had no more room in the backyard,” she said, adding construction on the wing wrapped up in August. “We got rid of all the portables and we’re able to have our backyard back. For us, it was a big improvement to what we were offering the
community before.” The new wing features a multi-use room with a separate entrance that can be used by the community. “We certainly believe the school is more than four walls,” said Savard. “We are very close with our community.”

Plaque details impact of the late John Mlacak A founding father of Kanata, former reeve ‘was dedicated to his community’ BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Beth Mlacak, the widow of the late John Mlacak, thanks the people involved in creating a plaque that details John’s impact on Kanata. Former March township reeve, John is considered one of the founding fathers of Kanata.
People who walk by the large portrait of John Mlacak in the centre that bears his name will now have the opportunity to learn a little more about the man who is considered one of the founding fathers of Kanata. His widow Beth Mlacak, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and Mayor Jim Watson unveiled a plaque next to the portrait, located in the main entrance hall of the John G. Mlacak Centre, on Nov. 14. Dozens of friends and former colleagues attended the dedication ceremony. “An accomplished humanist, engineer, politician, mentor, leader and artist, John G. Mlacak loved the beauty of his country and was dedicated to his com-
munity,” said Beth, reading the words inscribed on the plaque. Previously, only an identification sign gave any indication as to who was depicted in the painting and why. Beth was instrumental in getting the more detailed plaque installed, which outlines the impact her late husband had on the community of Kanata. Her adult children Bill, Kirsten and Siobhan also helped with the wording in English and French. Mlacak, who died in 2014, held many titles; he was a professional engineer by trade, reeve of the former March township from 1968 to 1976, regional commissioner of the National Capital Commission for three years and a renowned professional artist.

Date: Thursday, December 7, 2017 Location: Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Pl, K2V 1A2 Time: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.) OC Transpo routes: 61, 88, 167 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The previous Open House for this project was held in June 2017. At that time, the City presented the evaluation of alternative corridors and identified a preliminary preferred corridor. To date, the Study Team has finalized the recommended corridor and at this open house will present design details on the recommended plan, station locations and concept designs, and the requirement for a light maintenance and storage facility. The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. Information to date is available at ottawa.ca/KanataLRT. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the project manager below before the event.

Mlacak helped make Kanata ‘the special place it is’: Watson Continued from page 6
One of the first 10 families to settle in the Beaverbrook area, he got involved in municipal politics “almost immediately,” said Wilkinson, adding he was her mentor when she was elected to the former township council. He helped bring garbage
Mlacak without him knowing. “He was reeve at the time. He had to go to a regional meeting downtown and the other four members of council were meeting without him; he hadn’t gotten back yet. We said, ‘This is a good time, we should name something after John,’” she said. “He did an awful lot of
and recycling collection to Kanata, and was heavily involved in developing other services in the area, including seniors housing, a child care centre, a combined fire hall and library, as well as the first municipal business park. Wilkinson recalled how the former township council was able to name the building after
work to get this building going so we put a motion forward and passed it. Then he came in and we told him.” Mlacak was “really annoyed” by the approved motion, telling the council there were other people who deserved to have a building named for them, she said. But secretly, “I think actually he
was pleased as punch.” The late Gerald Smith, a fellow artist and friend, created the portrait of Mlacak. Kirsten donated it to the city after her father’s death and it was hung in the centre. “I had the honour of knowing John and what he did for the community both as an elected representative, as a
member of the NCC and as a great artist,” said Watson, who presented Mlacak with the Lucille Broadbent Award for Artistic Achievement in 2010. “He’s an individual who’s never looking for credit or accolades but quietly did the work behind the scenes to help make this part of the city the special place it is.”

Albert and Slater Streets Functional Design Study The City of Ottawa is studying Albert Street, Slater Street and the Mackenzie-King Bridge between Empress Avenue and Waller Street. The study will explore opportunities to improve walking, cycling, transit and general traffic along these streets by reallocating existing Transitway lanes after the O-Train Confederation Line opens in 2018. The study findings will contribute to the City’s planned integrated road reconstruction west of Bay Street and for interim roadway modifications east of Bay Street. Slater Street and Bronson Avenue Environmental Assessment Study The City of Ottawa is conducting an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate design alternatives for Slater Street between Empress Avenue and Bronson Avenue and for Bronson Avenue and Commissioner Street between Albert and Slater streets. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan to improve pedestrian circulation, cycling facilities, traffic circulation and access to adjacent properties. This study will follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for a Schedule “C” project, undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. Your participation in the Open House is an important part of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Comments are welcome throughout the EA process and will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Season is open to everyone
I
t’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year is the title of a song first released in 1963, with Andy Williams as the singer. The song, which celebrates various activities of the Christmas season, particularly being with those you love, has become a holiday standard. In these days leading up to Dec. 25, the song serves to remind us of everything we have to look forward to at Christmas time. It’s a time when at least for a while we forget all the everyday matters that seem to intrude on our daily lives, making us cynical, upset or worried about where the world is going these days. Whether it is the current sexual harassment scandals that are plaguing Hollywood and Washington, the Donald Trump-Rocket Man war of words that fearfully could lead to real war, or, closer to home, the Salvation Army emergency shelter proposal for Vanier, there’s always something to keep us worried about our world and its future. The Christmas season, though, gives us a break from these worries and concerns. The time leading up to Christmas, with its many seasonal events and activities, serves to take our minds off these issues and get us
thinking about this “most wonderful time of the year.” These weeks include a plethora of Christmas craft fairs along with parades, Santa Claus appearances, concerts and, of course, that universal pastime that consumes all of us from now to Christmas Day, shopping. In today’s multicultural society of which our Prime Minister speaks so often, some might claim that Christmas is a Christian celebration that does not fit with the many faiths and cultural groups that make up the Canada of 2017. But such a claim would be wrong because Christmas is, at its very heart, not an event per se but a feeling, a time when family and friends and good wishes toward all take over our thoughts. This is a feeling that we all can share here in Canada. So, it really is “the most wonderful time of the year,” a time when we can celebrate what is most cherished in our lives, namely family and friends, and when we can all put aside our cynicism and worries and embrace what the Andy Williams song advocates with its lyric, “And everyone telling you to be of good cheer.” The Christmas season is now underway. Let’s all enjoy it.
The Grey Cup and that hometown feeling
T
he Grey Cup still matters. The Canadian Football League has had its ups and downs over the years, including a disastrous attempt to expand into the United States. Franchises have folded. But by and large, when Grey Cup time rolls around, Canadians show up and tune in. There’s no reason to expect it to be any different on Sunday when the 105th Cup game kicks off at TD Place in Ottawa. Among those watching will be the diehard fans who have kept up their interest in Canadian football through bad times and good. They will be holding the same Grey Cup party they’ve been throwing for years. They will be joined by the people who are not quite sure who is playing, but who always watch at Grey Cup time. Add them all up and
Ice in Montreal, the winning team putting staples in their shoes for traction! Snow in Edmonton! A horse in a hotel lobby in Toronto! The wider field! The single point for Funny Town a missed field goal! The Mounties carrying the Cup! The award for the Best Canadian! There is an over-all perception it is quite a few people. By one measurement, about 4 million Canadians that fewer Canadians pay attention to the Grey Cup than they did in, looked at last year’s game. That’s a lot, even by Stanley Cup standards. say, 1976, when the Ottawa Rough Why do they watch, those who are Riders won the cup, or 1962, when Winnipeg won the Fog Bowl. That not serious football fans? Surely it may be true. But it’s also true that must be because they know everyfewer Canadians pay attention to one else is watching, that they are sharing a Canadian experience with any single event these days. In 1962, there were only two other Canadians. In this globalized world, how many opportunities are English TV channels. The National Football League, which now comthere to do that? petes heavily for Canadian sports And there’s no doubt it’s Canafan interest, was much less of a big dian. Three downs!

no home computers, no internet — in general, a lot less competition for our interest. So if viewership is down, no wonder. Viewership for everything is down. Somehow, in the face of that, the Grey Cup survives, which is a major accomplishment. Communities still go out of their way to host it and show visitors a good time — well, maybe not so much last year in Toronto, but that’s an exception. It’s good to have it here. It will be interesting to see how Lansdowne Park, which has been a controversial addition to the Ottawa landscape, handles the many events leading up to the game. Hosting the Cup gives this year’s game a hometown feel, even without an Ottawa team in it. But a good Grey Cup game always has that hometown feel.

How Canadians make use of the internet
O
n any typical morning, I wake up, check my email, check social media, scan online news, post something to LinkedIn and adjust my online calendar. Only then do I make coffee. I then spend approximately six to eight hours daily on the internet for work, alternating between two laptops and a smartphone. As it turns out, for once in my life, I am pretty much the norm in Canada. According to the most recent survey by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), released in November, Canadians love the internet. In fact, almost half of us admitted we’d give up fast food for a year to guarantee internet access. More than a third of us said we’d ditch coffee or alcohol, if we had to, to get online. Fortunately, we don’t have to give up anything to connect. Canadians are a connected people. Nearly 90 per cent of us, no matter where we live, have internet access. Three quarters of us spend up to four of our waking hours on the internet daily. Canadians love the internet. CIRA’s 2017 Factbook , released annually, is one of the most telling pieces of

Around 30 residents attend a public meeting to discuss the possibility of re-establishing a community association in Kanata Lakes. Six people signed on to continue working towards the group’s creation.
Residents keen to revive Kanata HIMALAYAN SALT ROOM Lakes Community Association (HALOTHERAPY) BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Residents of Kanata Lakes showed a keen interest in reestablishing a community association for their area. Around 30 people attended a public meeting on Nov. 14 to discuss what they would like to see in their community and how they could go about doing it. Ideas included: • a community Christmas tree lighting ceremony, similar to what is offered in south Kanata; • active social media accounts to easily spread news with residents; • more winter recreation activities; • and regular meetings so residents can keep tabs on progress. Resident Lily O’Reilly said
outdoor shinny is often on the large skating rink at All Saints High School, making it difficult for younger or more inexperienced skaters to get some ice time. “I would really like to see another rink,” she said. Wilkinson said a community association could look at raising funds and applying for grants to help build another rink. Former Kanata Lakes Community Association president Jim Malone, who has a park named after him, said he would assist any way he could, as did a number of other past KLCA executives. Joseph Pollard, one of six area residents who signed on to continue meeting in a smaller group to get the association going, said he’d like to see a safety information package for people who just
moved to the area. Pollard said he’s met new Canadians who weren’t aware of the importance of snow tires or when in the season they should be installed. The community association could be responsible for sharing that type of information. All of those are things a community association could work on, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “I’m just one person,” she said. “I need help from the community to get things done.” Kanata Lakes would also benefit by having a community association due to the ongoing development in the area, Wilkinson said, adding associations can also pick up on things she’s missed. “The little details can make a huge difference,” she said.

WE Day returns to Kanata Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com
A touching tribute to the late Gord Downie was one of many events held as part of WE Day at the Canadian Tire Centre on Nov. 15. More than 16,000 students who fundraised for the Me to We campaign at their schools packed into the Canadian Tire Centre to see musical acts, motivational speakers and participate in activities. Every year students set out on fundraising activities through their schools to raise money for projects such as new schools and clean drinking water in less fortunate countries. The students who raise the most are invited to the event. Those invited include Meredith Chaplin, Samantha Sharp and Jenna Stevenson, Grade 8 students from J.H. Putman Middle School. All three of the girls are members of their Liv2Luv club at their school and work with WE. Last year they raised more than $1,000 for education in Tanzania through a Christmas craft
sale. The girls encourage others to help in any way they can. “If you have the courage, just go for it,” said Jenna. “It doesn’t matter what age you are, just get involved.” The highlight of the day was a tribute to Gord Downie, the Tragically Hip frontman who died earlier this year after a battle with brain cancer. On hand were Downie’s two brothers and two sisters Mike, Patrick, Paula and Charlyn, along with his mother Lorna. Accompanying the family was the sister of Chanie Wenjack, Pearl, and her granddaughter Sunset. Chanie was a boy who died after escaping from a residential school in Northern Ontario in the dead of winter and attempted to walk the 600 kilometres back to his home. Downie, along with animator Jeff Lemire, wrote a graphic album that told the tragic story. In the last months of his life, according to Downie’s brother Mike, Downie worked to help with Continued on page 15

18 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, November 23, 2017
immersive experiences will draw more than half a million visitors over the next year — up from the 300,000 to 350,000 people who were visiting the facility on St. Laurent Boulevard per year before it was hastily closed in September 2014 due to mould. “This is a world-class science and technology museum when you walk in through the doors here,” Christina Tessier, the museum’s director general, said during a media preview Nov. 15. “I think people are going to be truly amazed that it really is all new.” The $80.5-million overhaul, which involved all 200 of the museum corporation’s staff, saw the museum stripped down to almost nothing and then rebuilt on the same footprint with 7,400 square metres of space for 11 exhibits. It represents a 10 per cent boost or an additional 740 square metres of space, allowing
staff to showcase double the artifacts. “That’s a real cornerstone for us,” said Tessier. PAST MEETS PRESENT
Merging past and present is very much a theme of the museum, with the introduction of augmented and virtual reality with some of the artifacts, as well as a projectable façade and an LED canopy that is believed to be the largest of its kind in Canada. Museum staff have launched apps, such as a robot-building mobile game called Artebots, that have reached more than 1.3 million people in countries such as Russia, India, Brazil and Mexico. “People all over the world are fascinated by the creativity of See STAGE, page 19

Canadians and can access our collection through these mediums,” said Fernand Proulx, interim president, chief executive officer and chief operating officer of Ingenium, the new name of the corporation that manages the museum, as well as the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The Crazy Kitchen+ and the steam locomotives are returning fan favourites. “I think there’s certainly a nostalgia factor for people,” Tessier said of the trains. The kitchen, though it now has a different exterior, will continue to provide an immersive experience that sends mixed messages to the brain with its tilted floor. “It puts you off-kilter a little bit,” said Tessier. “Parents want their kids to go through and have the same experience that they had as a kid.” Dawn Hall, an exhibition interpretation officer, said it has been renovated to its original state to channel a farmhouse kitchen. “We wanted to make sure it was true to the original experience that our visitors knew and loved,” she said. The museum is also now top-of-the-line in humidity and temperature control, helping it attract loaned artifacts from around the world, including a Eustachio Divini telescope dating back to the 1600s, from Italy’s Galileo Museum. “It’s not something in our old building we would have been able to do,” Tessier said.
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
New museum highlights also include a demonstration stage where scientists, makers, inventors, engineers, explorers and students will share their work through live-streamed talks and demos to reach Canadians beyond the museum’s walls. Once inside the main doors, visitors can head down a corridor that stretches from front to back and lined with displays of more than 700 treasures. The visual and interactive bounty that can be found beyond artifact alley includes a glacier experience, an overhead sculpture with 1,867 light bulbs, a 30-metre mural, a nuclear fusion reactor and wearable tech that includes the biometric gear worn by Stittsville gold medal wrestler Erica Wiebe at the Rio Olympics. There is also the Zooom play and discovery room for children up to age eight, a new hands-on maker studio and a tiny house.
Inside the room, wedges attached to the walls break up and absorb sound waves, confusing ears that are always searching for subtle reverberations and sound. “We didn’t want to just talk about these spaces that researchers do sound research in,” curator Tom Everrett said. “It really changes your experience when you get to walk into one of these spaces, as opposed to just reading about it.” It’s just one of thousands of examples that showcase the creativity and innovation in the science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) that are at the heart of the museum, signalling a fresh start. “It’s the beginning of our next 50 years,” Tessier said.
QUIET CUBE UNVEILED
The Quiet Cube is another new addition that allows visitors to experience silence. The anti-echo or anechoic chamber is modelled after those built for sound developers and researchers to absorb echoes and create a baseline to research and test sound technology. The exhibit includes artifacts from the former Ottawa-based Nortel anechoic chamber where telephone and microphone technology was developed.

for Youth
Your monthly update on the Ottawa Senators Foundation news!
Every child deserves an opportunity to play For a child, there is nothing quite like stepping onto the ice for the first time. But for some children, those first few strides might be a little more difficult but after some practice, they start to get it. Unfortunately, whether it’s financial strain, physical challenges or social barriers many kids don’t have that chance.
That’s why the Ottawa Senators Foundation is committed to breaking down these barriers in the Ottawa area. This is the inspiration for the SENS RINK program.
To date, the Foundation has built 13 SENS RINKs (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. But the facilities themselves are just part of the initiative. SENS RINKS aren’t just for sports. They are community gathering spots. A place where families gather, where friendships are made and community pride is fostered. Alexander Park is one of the areas that has benefited from the SENS RINK so far. Earl Jones works closely with the community, and sees the effect of the facility first-hand.
“This SENS RINK is more than just a skating rink, it’s become a place for members of the community to come together and share their unique cultural backgrounds,” said Earl Jones, program coordinator, City of Ottawa. “Families will create lasting memories here. The SENS RINK is a gamechanger for this community.”
In addition to providing a place for kids to skate, play and discover the game of hockey, the Foundation also partnered with the City of Ottawa, Ville du Gatineau and other municipalities to deliver free or low-cost programs such as basketball, Futsal, tennis, lacrosse, summer camps and more. Many of the kids who benefit from the SENS RINKs programs may not have gotten the opportunity otherwise. Whether because of financial, geographical or social barriers, so many children experience limitations in learning the pleasure of sport. These programs provide them with the opportunity to learn new skills, such as teamwork, leadership and fair play which will open many doors down the road. Playing sports and being active provides kids with the physical, social and mental strength to set them up for success later in life. The feeling of belonging is something we all strive for, regardless of age. All kids deserve a chance to grow up knowing that they will always have a place to play.

Information sessions planned about Civic hospital campus By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
The Ottawa Hospital is kicking off its consultations for the new Civic campus with a series of seven sessions. The information sessions were planned to begin in Orléans on Nov. 22 and will make stops in Kanata, Nepean, Cornwall, Pembroke, Old Ottawa East and Hintonburg. “People have an interest in learning what’s coming for the hospital. It’s a very exciting time and we want to be able to reach out to as many people as possible,” said Bernie Etzinger, chief officer of communications and outreach for the hospital, of the upcoming sessions. The consultations form part of the hospital’s early engagement strategy. In September the organization released its plan for consultation created by a third-party group. “This is about what’s hearing
about what’s important for people in terms of health care needs, design issues and how people would want to get involved further in the engagement process,” he said. The sessions will include three different presentations. The first will be about health planning, demographics and generally what health care needs are. The second presentation will be by the project’s architect, showing examples of health centres across the country and around the world. The last presentation will include more information on the engagement process. After the presentations, presenters and hospital representatives will be available to discuss issues and answer questions. There will also be an online survey for residents to weigh in. The feedback will be used as the hospital begins to take shape, Etzinger said. In the new year, a number of working groups will come together
and participants will go through a selection process. Those groups will work together on key issues like parking, access, green space to find solutions and common ground. Each of the meetings run from 7 to 8:45 p.m. • Nov. 27, at John G Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. • Nov. 29, at Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Ave. • Dec. 4, at Cornwall Civic Complex, 100 Water St. E., Cornwall • Dec. 5, at the Best Western Inn and Conference Centre, 1 International Dr., Pembroke • Dec. 7, at the Tom Brown Arena, 141 Bayview Rd. • Dec. 11, at the Old Town Hall, 61 Main St. The planning process for the hospital’s new campus includes five stages that will be supported by public consultation. Planning is expected to take five years, followed by construction.
The Ottawa Hospital/Submitted
The Ottawa Hospital has planned seven community meetings in communities across Ottawa, and in Pembroke and Cornwall, to get feedback from residents about the new Civic campus. The engagement document identifies the issues of most concern as parking, increased traffic, campus access, connectivity and loss of park and green space, interest in design
and landscape architecture and the existing civic campus and impact on local businesses. For more information, visit http://greatertogether.ca/.

Giant Tiger honouring volunteerism and paying tribute to firefighters
Holiday Fun for Everyone
The Mayor’s 17th Annual Christmas Celebration
Giant Tiger Stores Limited is honoured to have partnered with the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association for the creation of their 2017 Holiday commercial titled “Big Guy.” The commercial speaks to Giant Tiger’s deep connection to the over 240 communities it calls home by paying tribute to community volunteers. Developed in association with the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association, Giant Tiger pays tribute to all Canadians who volunteer to make our communities safer and stronger. “Volunteer firefighters are part of the fabric of our communities,” explains Karen Sterling, vice president, marketing, Giant Tiger Stores Limited. “Across the entire country, in virtually every community, men and women volunteer their time, their energy and their expertise to keep us safe. This has been particularly apparent this year with the many wildfires that have brought together volunteer firefighters from multiple communities. As a proud Canadian retailer, it

is our commitment to communities and the spirit of community, which sets us apart from the competition.” “Giant Tiger stores are in communities across the country,” explains Troy Mutch, vice president of the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association. “Each location is locally owned or operated by members of the community. Their commitment to the community mirrors that of Canada’s Volunteer Firefighters. They’re local. They’re friendly. They care. And they’re there when you need them.” To complement the commercials, a social media campaign will be launched to thank community volunteers and help celebrate the spirit of volunteerism that is the fabric of Canadian communities. Giant Tiger’s proudly Canadian stores support over 1,200 charities and association across Canada. The commercials will air on national specialty TV stations as well as Tim’s TV and will have geo-targeted placement on the Weather Network.
Craft making, live performances, and singing Christmas songs are part of the fun. Admission is a non-perishable donation to support the Ottawa Food Bank. Dress warmly. Most activities take place outdoors. Free OC Transpo service for children – Details at ottawa.ca

Ottawa Fury looking to the future by jake davies jake.davies@metroland.com
While the Ottawa Fury’s end-of-season gala was a time to celebrate the past, it was pretty clear that many in attendance have their eye on the future. The team hosted its annual awards gala on Thursday, Nov. 9 at Otto’s Club in TD Place. It was the last time the 2017 team and front office staff would be together as a whole. Fury players and front office staff are in consensus, 2017 was an up-and-down season that ended short of expectations. Fury president John Pugh told those in attendance that a season in which the team set the United Soccer League (USL) record for most draws at 14 “contributed to us missing the playoffs.” Addressing the players, Pugh said, “We never faulted your effort or determination.” Pugh also announced their newish head coach and general manager (GM) will be returning. “We’re fortunate to have Julian (de Guzman) for 2018,” he said. “We have tremendous confidence in Julian’s ability.” De Guzman is Canada’s most decorated soccer player. During his career, he played in one of the top leagues in the world, Spain’s La Liga. He played for the Fury in 2016, in an injury-shortened season, as team captain. De Guzman joined the front office staff at the start of the 2017 season as assistant general man-
ager and assistant coach. De Guzman was promoted to head coach and general manager midway through the season when former bench boss Paul Dalglish stepped down. The Fury flirted with the playoffs for most of their first season in the USL, but finished out of the playoffs in the 10th spot. There were several milestones in the 2017 season, including their longest-serving player, Carl Haworth, playing in his 100th game for the club; season attendance breaking the 100,000 mark for the first time; and defeating the Toronto FC, the top team in Major League Soccer, at home during the Canadian Championship. “It was a roller-coaster,” de Guzman told Metroland Media. “It’s a great opportunity to look back and look at the educational experience of having that opportunity to be an assistant coach under Paul. And unexpectedly, here I am as the coach and the GM. “The support I have had throughout this whole process, I couldn’t be more happy with the people involved and the people I work with; the players I have who were former teammates and now carry themselves so well as professionals. For me to see the result under my guidance means a lot to me.” Last year’s experience has de Guzman excited about the 2018 season. “To see that, makes me look forward to the future and continue that model and that culture for the Ottawa Fury,” he said. “It’s a dream come true. The result at the end of the day, may not have been

Julian de Guzman watches the action on the field. Julian took over as coach of the Fury during the season. as the team may have wanted it, but at the end of the day, we look at it as growing pains and part of the process of becoming a successful team down the road.” The team announced the return of eight players for next year, including Haworth; Steevan Dos Santos, their leading scorer from 2017; Callum Irving, who set a club record, playing every minute of every game in 2017; and Ottawa native Eddie Edward, who returns for his third season. Also back for the club’s second season in the USL are José Enrique (Sito) Seoane, Sergio Manesio, Azake Luboyera and Jimmy Sanon. Others may return as well, as the team continues through the negotiation process. “We’re still making a decision on a couple of
players that were a part of this season,” de Guzman said. “Right now the main objective is to make sure we get the right guys back for next season, and then come up with a platform that will allow us to expand and improve.” “There are some obvious areas we need to improve on; that’s pretty clear,” he said. “Steevan Dos Santos’ role, he seems to do well a lot more as a number 10. So, now it’s important we fill that role of a number 9, or a striker, and allow that attacking line to improve their goals total.” Defence is also an off-season target. “Bring in more experienced players who understand the league, but can fit in to the culture in Ottawa, and minimize the goals against,” he said. “This is another area we’d like to improve on.”

Hospital’s fundraising dinner planned for Giving Tuesday Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
A Giving Tuesday event aims to raise money and build hope. On Nov. 28 from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Bay Coun. Mark Taylor and Biagio’s Italian Kitchen, on Richmond Road, are inviting the public to support the Queensway Carleton’s Hopes Rising Campaign for Mental Health. The $5-million campaign will enhance and improve mental health care at the hospital for adults of all ages by constructing a new 650-square-metre building and renovating the two existing floors of the hospital. The province has committed $10 million towards the project. Originally built in 1976, the 24-bed unit doesn’t meet the needs of its current patient load. It provides both in-patient and outpatient services. In the last five years, there has been a 46 per cent increase in the number of patients arriving at the emergency department in a mental health crisis. The fundraising dinner costs $100 per person, and charitable receipts are available. special guests
Have a crafty Christmas
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Members of the Kanata Seniors Craft Group host a Christmas craft sale in the Hazeldean Mall on Sunday, Nov. 19. All items, including hats, scarves, mitts and more, were handmade by the members.
It includes a sit-down meal and presentations from special guests. “The QCH Foundation launched its Hopes Rising for Mental Health campaign, and west-end councillors thought it would be a great idea to come together again in support of our local community hospital,” said Taylor in an emailed statement. “QCH has a high intake of mental health patients to its emergency room, however the unit has not been upgraded since its opening in the early 1970s. We’re hoping this event can help fund sorely needed upgrades and better serve our community.” This is the third year the councillor and restaurant have co-hosted the event. See GIVING, page 36

Ontario government passes back-towork legislation, ends faculty strike Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com
Algonquin students, along with several hundred thousand other college students in Ontario will be back in class Nov. 21 after the Ontario government passed back-to-school legislation on Nov. 19 The five-week strike saw little movement between the two sides and after college faculty members of OPSEU voted overwhelmingly against an offer from the college employer council in a forced vote, Premier Kathleen Wynne said she and her government were looking into any avenue available to get students back in class. The college employer council called for a vote from OPSEU members earlier this month. The forced vote was a one-time option given to the employer council under the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act. Back to work legislation was introduced on Nov. 17 and was passed 39-18. The Ontario government said in a statement released Sunday that all outstanding issues are to be negotiated in binding media-
tion-arbitration. “The College Employer Council and OPSEU have five days to agree on a mediator-arbitrator, or one will be appointed by the minister of labour,” the statement reads. OPSEU is unhappy with the outcome. OPSEU president Warren Thomas said the delay in intervention serves to benefit the council as opposed to the workers. “The Liberals let the strike drag on until they could justify their legislation in the court of public opinion,” he said. “In doing so, they played right into the hand of the College Employer Council, which had been aiming for legislation, not negotiation, all along.” The government is adamant that this was the best solution to get students back to class. “Students were in the middle of the strike for too long,” said Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development Deb Matthews. “We needed to put students first, and get them back to their studies. This legislation ensures students can get back to the classroom and refocus on their education.”

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review We had another great turnout at the Kanata Santa Claus Parade this past weekend. Thank you to the many volunteers who work tirelessly to make this annual holiday tradition such a memorable event for all!

We have one more tree lighting ceremony in the community which is next Tuesday November 28th at Crownridge Park – 6:00pm. Hope to see you there!

Kanata LRT Open House Christopher Whan/Metroland
The Ontario government passed back-to-work legislation on Nov. 19, formally ending the 32-day faculty strike. Students and teachers are expected to be back in the classrooms Nov. 21. This was the longest strike in faculty history at 32 days and will most-likely see the winter break altered and, according to the colleges, a potential extra two weeks added to the end of the year. The Ontario government has promised that full-time domestic and international students will be eligible to receive up to $500 for unexpected costs caused by

the strike. This support will not count against a student’s OSAP assessment. After two weeks, if the returning students are unsatisfied with the condensed schedule, students who wish to withdraw from college because of the strike are eligible for a full tuition refund. This also applies to apprentice students.

Councillors still at odds over casino expansion BY Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Osgoode Coun. George Darouze and GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans are still at opposite sides of the table when it comes to the 14-table expansion. The city’s committee of adjustment, which considers applications for minor tweaks to new development — things like parking — approved an application on Nov. 15 from Hard Rock International to increase the number of gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway from 21 to 35.
While Darouze sees that as an economic boon for rural Ottawa south, his colleague, whose ward abuts the casino, sees as an underhanded way to get around council’s cap. “The number we came up with back in 2011 wasn’t flexible,” Deans said of the earlier decision to limit the number of tables to 21. “I am not happy, this was sneaky and underhanded.” Even back in September when council considered the agreement with Hard Rock to take over operations of the RCR, councillors were clear that they wanted to stick with

the same number of tables, Deans said. Deans said she was frustrated because the city has planning staff that should have pointed out to council that a “hold zone” on the casino site would have shut the back door that, she says, Hard Rock went through. “I learned that from the planning consultant they (Hard Rock) hired,” Deans said. “Councillors aren’t planning experts, we rely on planning staff for that.” She added she suspects staff were aware in September, when the council approved the deal that saw Hard Rock take over operations of RCR, city staff were aware the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation was interested in expanding the number of tables. Deans said council should have been made aware that was a possibility. Deans was one of six councillors — including Mathieu Fleury, Catherine McKenney, Tobi Nussbaum, Jeff Leiper and David Chernushenko — to oppose the move. The group wrote a letter to Trevor Armstrong, the vicepresident of operations, for Hard Rock Ottawa, asking it to withdraw the application. Councillors who wrote the letter felt the application should undergo the same rigour of a regular rezoning application — which requires open discussion at the city’s planning committee and council. Darouze disagrees. “I am thrilled with the decision.” he said, adding the committee of adjustment is the appropriate venue for the application. Darouze challenged those

It’s a line Mayor Jim Watson used during the debate in December. Darouze said today’s reality is different than when council decided on the cap, and Hard Rock must develop a business model that works. Darouze said Hard Rock and the OLG are not only businesses, a positive force in the community. To the argument that there
are social impacts of gambling that the city will be on the hook for, Darouze said gambling would happen anyway with the casino across the river in Gatineau. “The approach that many of my colleagues have taken to this project has been a source of great frustration for me. If any other developer came forward looking to invest $320 million dollars, the red carpet would be rolled out,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Nov. 17. But Deans says the expansion will result in traffic woes for surrounding communities. “As recently as Septem-
ber, council made it clear … that any expansion of gaming would trigger a series of conditions that council put in place to protect neighbouring residential communities from adverse traffic impacts, including Blossom Park and Emerald Woods,” she wrote in a Nov. 2 blog post. The conditions included that the proponent be required to complete a community transportation study, which would include looking at the possibility of moving the RCR entrance to Bank Street, widening surrounding roads and improving public transit.

Let them know about my annual contest for children from 4 to 12 years of age who can create a Christmas/Winter themed drawing on an entry sheet you can download from tinyurl.com/kanatacard (link also on my website.) Winners and runners-up will receive prizes at the Kanata North Holiday Social (see details below), and the winning cards will be printed in my annual report mailed to all households in December. Completed entries can be dropped off at my office in the Mlacak Centre or mailed to me at 110 Laurier Ave. W, Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1. I enjoy reviewing all the submissions but it’s very hard for the judges to select winners! Bring the family and join me at my annual CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SOCIAL on December 4th, 6:30-8:30PM at the Beaverbrook Library, 2500 Campeau Dr. There will be harp music performed by my granddaughter along with dancers, a sing-along and treats. Winners of the Christmas Card contest will be announced and you’ll have a great opportunity to socialize with other members of your community. WINTER HAS STARTED! So be aware of winter parking regulations when all vehicles must be parked off the street. Notice is given when 7cm or more of snow is forecast by Environment Canada. Don’t get caught unaware! Sign up for free e-alerts on Ottawa.ca. Please keep our streets passable, follow the rules and help our snow clearing team do the best job possible. FLU! ‘Tis the season and it can impact all ages. Public flu clinics are finished but doctors and most drug stores will provide it for free. For children under 5, contact Ottawa Public Health for information. HYDRO ONE CORRIDORS continue to be checked for vegetation growth to ensure lines are protected from failure due to falling trees. Last week I walked the line from the Beaver Pond to the 417 with Hydro One and City of Ottawa Foresters to review what can be done without destroying all trees and shrubs (as happened in Morgan’s Grant). Plans are being prepared to show exactly what will be done. Similar plans are being done for each individual private property along or under the line. Wooden poles on the line along Steacie Drive will be replaced next year and I’ve asked for a similar process to address any vegetation removal. In Morgan’s Grant the Community Association is being reactivated with a meeting planned for Dec 5th at the Richcraft Complex where ideas on beautifying the corridor through Morgan’s Grant will be discussed. PUBLIC MEETINGS in December include an Open Houses on the route for Light Rail to Kanata on Dec. 7th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm and on the Kanata Highlands Expansion Lands (along Terry Fox near the Carp River) on Dec 12th from 6 to 8 pm (location to be confirmed). Thanks to all who came to my fundraiser for the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s Mental Health Unit and to the sponsors and auction donors. More than $3,000 was raised.

Giving Tuesday ‘gaining traction’ VP Continued from page 31
It falls on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a day aside to encourage giving back to the community. “Giving Tuesday has been in place for a number of years, starting in the States but it’s gaining an awful lot of traction in Canada, as well, and we’re just seeing more and more charities and opportunities coming together for that and as a sector that’s exciting to see,” said Judith Scott, vice-president of operations for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation. Scott added about 10 of the city’s west-end councillors are part of fundraising initiatives for the hospital’s mental health unit and they have a goal of bringing in about $500,000. So far, the foundation is more than half way through its $5-million goal, having raised about $2.8 million. For tickets, visit raisinghopenovember28.eventbrite.ca.

The rooms in the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s mental health unit are small, with two beds separated by a thin curtain. Visitors have remarked the beds are close enough for the occupants to hold hands. The QCH is raising $5 million through its Hopes Rising campaign to renovate the mental health unit, which is still in its 1976 state.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Town Hall Meeting I want to thank everyone who came out to the Town Hall Meeting at the Kanata Recreation Centre on 16 November. We had a great discussion on a broad variety of issues, and I very much appreciated the questions and feedback. It is clear that we have some priority issues for our Riding – for which I will continue to work hard: LRT, broadband communication, the economy – just to name a few. I would like to remind everyone that, for their personal issues, please contact my Constituency Office who can assist. I look forward to our next Town Hall – to be held in West Carleton, early in the new year.
TGIF For Mental Health I want to thank City Councillor Marianne Wilkinson for hosting a terrific event, TGIF for Mental Health, at Big Rig Brewery in Kanata. Along with Chris and Erin Phillips the event was held to help fundraising efforts towards improving mental health facilities at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. It was great to meet and chat with so many that turned out to help such a great cause. Thank you Marianne for the wonderful work you do for mental health.
Audi Eco Drive Pilot It was great to represent the Minister of Transport at the Audi Eco Drive Pilot this past week. The event was held to showcase Ottawa’s connected vehicle technology. In becoming a Smart City, the City of Ottawa has developed many different technologies that build towards an ecofriendlier future. The connected vehicle allows for its user to interact with city infrastructure, which will communicate to them best driving practices in a given situation, resulting in greater fuel efficiencies. The event demonstrated the City of Ottawa’s leadership and commitment to fostering a Smarter City, and I am proud that our community is taking such a leadership role in developing such technological achievements!

Vehicles to save time, energy connected to traffic light system By Jake Davies jake.davies@metroland.com
One step closer to autonomy, politicians got behind the wheel of an Audi that knows when Ottawa traffic lights are going to change, and what speed it has to travel to make that next light. Mayor Jim Watson, MP Karen McCrimmon and Coun. Marianne Wilkinson were some of the dignitaries to attend a demonstration of Infrastructure to Vehicle technology (I2V) at Mark Motors on Thursday, Nov. 16. Audi Connected systems developer Michael Zweck hosted a demonstration showing how the technology works and what it means for urban transit. “The technology tells when traffic lights will change and will help increase safety and fuel efficiency,” Zweck said. “Drivers can anticipate red lights and navigate more easily through red lights.” The city has partnered with Transport Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to deliver the Assisted Commercial Vehicle Eco-Driving pilot project. The project is a one-year initiative currently running along a six-kilome-
tre stretch of Hunt Club Road, between Cleopatra Drive and Uplands Drive. The corridor has 12 connected traffic signals, supported by the city’s signal and traffic control system and Traffic Technology Services’ (TTS) analysis system. These systems communicate with connected vehicles, providing information on when a traffic signal will change. The city provided a basic tablet with a system app that relays the signal information to the drivers of eco-driving vehicles, operated by Purolator and Crepin Cartage, a member of the Greater Ottawa Trucking Association. In Audi’s case, the software and hardware will be built into some of their models allowing their vehicles to gain access to traffic control system signal information when the vehicle is connected to the city’s traffic infrastructure. Purolator and Crepin completed test runs of the system last August and have been undertaking trips through the corridor to collect data for the project over the last few months. The data collection phase is now completed and Carleton University has begun analyzing the information to determine the efficiencies

Infrastructure to vehicle project costs $300,000 Continued from page 38
Mayor Watson complimented the collaborative nature of the project. “These things don’t happen if all three levels of government work together along with our public and private partnerships,” he said. Zweck said Audi was pleased when provided with the opportunity to be a part of the project. “When we heard about the project and were invited, we were happy to come,” he said. Zweck said the sensors
have two new “real time” functions that were not available on Audis previously. “It sounds simple, but needs some technology,” he added. He pointed out Ottawa is the first city in Canada where all the traffic lights are connected. “All the traffic lights are already connected to the traffic control centre,” he said. “The data is already there.” Following his presentation on the technology, Zweck took the mayor, MP
and councillor for a test drive down Hunt Club. “It’s another piece of the puzzle,” McCrimmon said after the test drive. “It was interesting to see the car interact with the traffic. Seeing the potential, that was neat.” The pilot project costs $300,000 with the Government of Canada pitching in $150,000 and the province and city contributing $75,000 each of tax dollars. Ottawa has more than 6,000 kms of road with more than 1,150 traffic-controlled intersections.

The Government Keeps Failing Our Students
A magical parade
LEFT: Cinderella gets a lift in her horse-drawn carriage during the Help Santa Toy Parade on Saturday, Nov. 18. The 48th annual event, which travelled from city hall to TD Place, collected hundreds of toys for children in need in Ottawa.
This week I voted against the Liberals back to work legislation that will force Ontario college teachers to end the College Strike. I did this because the government has failed our students by not taking measures to avoid this strike in the first place. They acted with false intentions and allowed for this strike to come about and now act as if they are saving the day. It is politics, pure and simple, the same old story. The government once again trampling on the rights of individuals so they can play hero to a crisis they had a large part in creating. I voted against this legislation because I believe in the fundamental rights that we all have, that is why I am the only person at Queens Park who stands against government encroachment on your lives and freedoms. The two sides must come to an agreed upon solution that will ensure balance, not the heavy handed force of government. Students must be appropriately compensated for what has occurred, this happened through no fault of their own and now the students must alter their own careers because of it. I have sympathy for the students and teachers, but there is a wrong way to end this strike and that is the way the Liberals and PCs want to do it.

Councillor wants look at city’s emergency shelter practices Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’s “astounded” there’s not more clarity within the city as to what is considered a shelter. Fleury asked staff for a deeper look at the city’s agreements with emergency shelters at the city’s community and protective services committee on Nov. 16. It’s no secret that the move was in response to information that has come to light in the wake of the Salvation Army’s application for a 350bed mega-shelter at the site of the Concorde Motel on Montreal Road, but Fleury said that’s not the only reason for his inquiry. He said it’s meant to make sure the city operations and zoning team work closely together before signing agreements. He said with the ambiguity around the definition of shelter, he isn’t sure why the Salvation Army doesn’t just claim to be a hotel. “The per diem the city pays is higher, $44 per
day for shelters and $110 for hotels,” he said. The report from staff says 14 private hotels and motels have letters of understanding with the city to offer emergency shelter. The Concorde Motel provides up to 14 rooms at a time, and an agreement has been in place since 2012. From January 2017 to August, the city paid the Concorde $369,826 to house 43 families. The average length of stay was 80 days. Temporary shelter stays are meant to be 30 days or less. The average length of stay in 2012 was 57 days. The City of Ottawa owns and operates two family shelters – one on Carling Avenue has 44 rooms and another on Forward Avenue has 18 rooms. There’s also a contract with the YW/ YMCA for four floors of family shelters, and with the Catholic Centre for Immigrants for up to 10 households. The hotels are only meant to be used when the city shelters are maximized.

‘Uber only telling city what it wants to’: cabbie tells committee by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Bylaw is only getting the information Uber wants them to have, says longtime cab driver Tony Hajjar. Hajjar, who has been driving a cab for more than three decades, said there should be a dedicated complaint line for Uber drivers at the city. He also wants bylaw staff to look at the impact on the taxi industry in the year since the ride share program has been legal in the capital. It was a rosy picture painted to the city’s community and protective services committee on Nov. 16. Roger Chapman, said the compliance level has been high and there have been no safetyrelated complaints. So far, there have been 6.36 million rides and River Coun. Riley Brockington was dubious that there hadn’t been more problems. “You can’t tell me with 6.4 million rides there haven’t been any complaints,” he said. Brockington also wanted a
better case against requiring cameras. Essentially, the rationale from staff was the nature of the Uber app — which gives personal information about the driver and passenger — negates the need for cameras. It’s an argument that was made during the debate to legalize private transportation companies (PTC) back in 2016. “We knew this a year ago,” Brockington said to Chapman. “We want to know how you analyzed the information to determine cameras aren’t needed.” Chapman said there’s been some complaints of Uber drivers picking up passengers from taxi stands. However, most of the complaints were for stands on private property — which is outside bylaw’s bailiwick. Uber hands over driver information that includes the number of drivers on the roads and their license and insurance information, Chapman said, adding there are 3,500 drivers at any given time. Committee chair Coun. Diane Deans said the number of
trips in the first year shows there was a market. Chapman said there’s information bylaw would like to have, but it’s tough to get it from Uber. “We’ve given you a big stick and we expect you to be proactive,” Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum wanted to see bylaw ask Uber to put driver and complaint information on a public forum. Chapman said there are five bylaw officers investigating PTC compliance. “It’s a new kind of enforcement for us,” he said. Other companies have expressed interest in operating and Lyft has an active application, Chapman said, declining to name specific companies whose applications aren’t yet underway. Right now, the city’s bylaw department can handle three PTCs operating, but if the number grows beyond that, more resources will need to be allocated, Chapman said. There are 2,100 cab drivers operating in the city.

Be careful in the kitchen National Home Fire Safety Week 2017 With the holiday season quickly approaching, your mouth may be watering at the thought of turkey, apple pie and mashed potatoes. The season is usually accompanied by a variety of good foods, but it’s also too often marred by tragedy in the form of kitchen fires. Nov. 24 to 30 is National Home Fire Safety Week and the Canada Safety Council is reminding all Canadians to be extremely careful in the kitchen. Cooking is the lead cause of home fires in Canada, and the holiday season tends to bring with it a significant amount more of baking, cooking, braising and general oven use. It’s important when discussing this topic to make the first point abundantly clear: never leave food unattended on the stove. It doesn’t matter if it’s just for a minute, or for a quick phone call, or for a knock on the door, or even being caught up with children. Cooking requires your full attention because a fire can be sparked very quickly and spread even quicker. Be proactive and watch your food so in the event of an unexpected fire, you’re able to act quickly and decisively before it escalates.
The key to this, of course, is being prepared to act quickly. If your holiday celebrations have left you a bit inebriated, quick and decisive action may no longer be possible. Consider ordering out rather than cooking. It’s much less risky than the possibility of not being able to react in time due to dulled reflexes. Here are some tips on how to handle a fire, should one occur: If at any time you feel endangered or unable to control the fire, call the fire department and evacuate the house. Make sure your family knows the fire escape route and they’re able to get out safely. In the event of a fire in your oven or microwave, close the door and turn it off. The lack of oxygen will eventually smother the flames and prevent them from feeding and growing. Similarly, if your fire happens in a pan, use the oven mitt to clap on the lid then remove the pan from the heat source. It, too, should fizzle out due to lack of oxygen. If you don’t have a lid for it or are unable to put it on safely, use a fire extinguisher and aim at the base of the fire. Grease fires can be especially treacherous. Never use water to try and put one out, as the grease will get repelled and risk spreading the fire further. Instead, use baking soda or salt (but never flour,) and use a large wet cloth to smother the fire.
Never swat at or blow on a fire. Kitchen fires don’t necessarily behave like birthday candles – the air movement is far more likely to spread the fire than it is to put it out. And, of course, make sure your hair is tied up and your clothing fits comfortably without being too loose. These can accidentally catch fire and make the whole process The Canada Safety Council wishes you a very pleasant and safe holiday season, completely devoid of injury and disaster but instead filled with love and good memories.

Community Challenge for Xmas 2017 – Can you do it? Ok! It’s hard to believe but Christmas is already upon us! I know a few of you have already done your lists and maybe even your shopping but for those of you (like me) who have not even begun to think about, I have a fun challenge for you! In our world of rampant consumerism, hectic schedules and competing priorities, shopping has become a sport. And at Christmas, it is an elite sport! We are so fortunate to live in a world of so much choice. But this much choice provides challenge as well. In fact, research shows that our plethora of choices, can leave us feeling overwhelmed and more unsatisfied than if we had practically no choice at all. What??? So what if each of us set a theme to our shopping this year – a priority to hone in on, give ourselves some parameters and maybe even bring back a little more authentic joy and excitement to our gift giving season. The theme? Shop Local. I know! You’ve heard it before and you know all the reasons to shop local; • Every dollar spent locally strengthens the local economy and generates local revenue • Local businesses hire our friends and neighbours who in turn support our community • Local businesses support our charities, sport teams and allow us to build amenities • Local businesses support other local businesses thereby generating greater prosperity • Local businesses offer high quality service and value added advice and support • Supporting local business today ensures future access to quality products and services • Encouraging local entrepreneurship stimulates innovation and unique offerings • Buying local is good for the environment, ultimately less expensive and feels good • Buying local creates a mindfulness in spending, an experience in shopping and opens the opportunity for building new relationships Our local businesses work hard and risk much to offer us easy access to diverse products and quality service. It has been a particularly challenging year for our businesses in terms of new legislation and rapid change in the marketplace. So let’s celebrate more together and make this the year for getting back to community – setting a new trend and finding a way to enjoy this holiday season while contributing to our future and our community, friends and neighbours. Are you up for the challenge? Here it is! Can you dedicate 80-90 or even 100% of our holiday spending to local businesses? For gifts, food and experiences? Yes? Fantastic! We want to help! Check out www.westottawabot.com for local holiday gift ideas and stories. Share your finds and your support for the cause. #wobtshoplocal Happy local shopping!

Eaton’s catalogue provides a sense of wonder
I
t was a mystery to me. How Mother could fill out a form, put it in an envelope, enclose no money, put on a three cent stamp and send it off to the people who sent out Eaton’s catalogue, and within days, the mailman would deliver a package right to our door. It was called a C.O.D. order, and I knew that meant Mother had to come up with whatever the mailman asked for when he left the parcel. Another mystery to me was how Mother knew exactly how much money the mailman wanted. But there it was that day when I came from the Northcote School, sitting on the bake table at the back door ... a big parcel wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with cord. Not the string like we got at Briscoe’s General Store, but heavy brownish cord, which would be tied around a piece of cardboard
that didn’t matter ... what Mother unwrapped would be brand new, and that in itself was something to look forward to. Father was the only one who wasn’t sitting around the kitchen table when it came time to open the parcel from Eaton’s. He was at his favourite place at the Findlay Oval with his feet resting on the oven door. Mother was MARY COOK at the head of the table, and we children in the spots we always used for our meals, before it was opened! and I looked around and evWe five children could ery one of us had our fingers hardly wait. Even though interlocked just like we did my sister Audrey and I had when we prayed in church. poured over the catalogue Mother handed Audrey until it was dog-eared, we knew that in the parcel would the string, who already had be only what was completely a piece of cardboard ready. And then the parcel was necessary to get us over the unwrapped and there it was winter. The Christmas toy - Mother’s order - all neatly section, the pages of tin stacked by someone in a far boxes of candy, the pretty away city who didn’t know us dresses ... all frivolities … from Adam. and certainly wouldn’t be There was new combinapart of Mother’s order. But
Mary Cook’s Memories when the parcel was opened and packed away for some future use. I could feel the tingles right down to my toes. Our winter order from Eaton’s had arrived, and it would be opened after supper, only once the dishes had been washed, the table wiped clean, and dried with a flour bag tea towel. Heaven forbid that a spot would get on the parcel that had come all the way from Eaton’s, even
tion underwear for Father, long johns for my brothers, and new underpants for Audrey, soft with mauve lines in them, and for me the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers. I didn’t mind them when they were brand new, but by the time half the winter was over, they would be faded and ugly as sin from many washings, and soakings from sliding down the little snowcovered hill at the Northcote School. And on the very bottom of the parcel was a neatly folded piece of Dan River cotton … soft coloured plaid with navy blue lines interwoven. Mother would find good use for it. A new house dress, a blouse for Audrey or me? Maybe new aprons. I was sitting beside Mother, and I leaned over and pressed my nose tight against the new material, and then I smelled the new underwear, even Father’s combinations.
And I wondered how everything could come all the way from some big city miles and miles away and still have the smell of newness. And that too was a miracle, I thought. How something could come from so far away, travel by train all the way to Northcote, and still smell so fresh. All I knew about Eaton’s was that they sent us a catalogue twice a year, and whatever Mother needed would be parceled up and sent all the way out to our farm. A miracle indeed. And I sat in wonder at the kitchen table, awed by the newness of what was spread out before me. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
