Violence leading cause of homelessness for women, children: resource centre

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Violence against women is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children, says Cathy Lawery, program manager of violence against women and counselling services teams at the Western Ottawa Com-

munity Resource Centre.

Adequate and affordable housing is in crisis in Ottawa, leaving many women who want to leave an abusive partner in limbo.

“The myth that women stay? They don’t stay,” said Lawery.

Kanata RCMP officer found guilty of ‘disturbing’ abuse of son STAFF

A suspended RCMP officer from Kanata has been found guilty in the severe abuse of his son.

The 44-year-old former counter-terrorism officer, who cannot be named to protect

his son’s identity, has been found guilty of two counts of aggravated assault, sexual assault causing bodily harm, unlawful confinement, assault, failing to provide the necessaries of life and a number of firearms offences, according to the Canadian

Press. The father’s wife, the boy’s stepmother, was also found guilty of assault and failing to provide the necessaries of life.

The father said in his defence that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when he abused

his son.

Justice Robert Maranger said he didn’t believe the father’s argument.

Delivering his verdict on Monday, Nov. 21, Maranger described the abuse as "disturbing," according to the Canadian Press.

“That was way to easy!”

"This was a very difficult trial," he said. "That a parent would do the things that were done to (this boy) is gutwrenching."

The father was charged after a neighbour found his emaciated 11-year-old son.

The boy had been chained

in the basement of the family’s Kanata home and had been burned with a barbecue lighter.

Maranger commended the boy for testifying on his own behalf, despite the abuse, according to the Canadian Press.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Women ‘don’t have to face this issue on their own’ Continued from page 1

“It’s just that sometimes they have to make plans of where they're going to go, how are they going to afford it. There’s all those things especially if you're leaving with children – it takes some planning.”

The community resource centre – serving those who live in Kanata, West Carleton, Goulbourn and Nepean – has a large violence against women program, which includes counselling for women and children, a shelter, and transitional housing supports.

One in every three women is experiencing abuse – which can include the physical, emotional, verbal, sexual and financial. On any given night in Canada, around 3,500 women and 2,700 children sleep in a shelter because it’s not safe at home, said Lawery.

And that’s only the women who identify themselves.

“There's a strong majority of people who are survivors of violence,” said Lawery.

“Our numbers haven’t gone down; they’ve grown exponentially.”

November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and to raise awareness the resource centre is focusing on its transitional housing.

“I've been here for over 20 years and although housing has been an issue, I have seen that (over) the last three years, it’s critical,” she said.

“What we know for a fact, even locally, is that violence against women is the leading cause of homelessness.”

From April 2015 to March 2016, the centre’s VAW programs saw:

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Transitional housing workers at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre can help women fleeing abusive homes access adequate and affordable housing more easily. Those who receive a special priority status only wait an average of three to four months for housing.

• 250 women use the transitional housing support program.

• 87 mothers facing violence and 52 child witnesses of violence served by the child witness program.

• 380 women receive violence against women counselling services.

• 87 women and 69 children stay at Chrysalis House – a 25-bed shelter. The average length of stay was 105 days.

“All of these women essentially are looking for housing, for affordable housing,” said Lawery.

“We want women to know that they don’t have to face this issue on their own. We have people who have expertise in housing.

“There's some information they might not be aware of that can secure them great housing options.”

PRIORITY STATUS

Angelika, a transitional housing support worker, works with women using the centre’s counselling services or living at the shelter to explore their housing options and resources available to them. Last names of front-line workers are not used to protect those at the centre.

Options can include a temporary move to a shelter and subsidized or private market housing, she said, adding she can also help clients with income possibilities and social assistance.

“A safe and affordable home is a basic human right for everyone,” said Angelika. “One of the things we recognize at the centre is that housing is in a huge crisis. It’s become part of our strategic direction.”

Priority status makes difference in housing wait times that isn’t the case, said Angelika.

Women who live at home, or who have been staying in temporary housing (such as with a friend, relative or in shelter) for less than three months can get placed on a priority list in the social housing registry.

Transitional housing support workers can help women get placed on the priority list by writing a letter a support, said Angelika.

“Women who are living, breathing violence, that’s a critical issue,” said Lawery. “If you're living with your abuser, or you’ve left and it’s within that three month period of time, we can get you special priority, which makes a huge difference whether or not you're waiting for years for housing or whether or not you're waiting for months.”

Those who receive a special priority status only wait an average of three to four months for housing, said Angelika.

Continued from page 5

The resource centre has created a housing committee to look at the issues and how to best advocate for and support its clients, which includes those in the VAW program, as well as youths and seniors.

Many women looking to flee domestic violence believe they must be living in a shelter to apply for subsidized housing and

Crisis lines There are resources available for women who want to leave an abusive household or want more information. If someone is in immediate danger of abuse, call 911.

Dr. Corrine Motluk

BACKUP PLAN

Many women are afraid to seek assistance from the resource centre under the assumption that counsellors will force

Dr. Alan Franzmann

Dr. Melanie Bolton

them to make decisions they aren’t ready for, said Lawery.

“We don’t do that,” she said.

“Coming in to see us, getting the resources and maybe applying and getting on the list because you can, because you fit the criteria, is a really smart move.

We’re not here to tell them what to do.”

Women who apply for social housing and special priority status are not forced to move when a unit becomes available.

“It’s a backup plan,” said Lawery. “Because you can say no if you're not ready to move.”

And when women are ready to make a move, the resource centre is there for them.

“It’s just a matter of creating a plan, finding affordable housing, and then making the move when they can,” said Lawery.

“There is life after abuse. A good life after abuse.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Trump’s win can teach us tolerance BRYNNA C

anadians have been rightly shocked by the emergence of overt hate crimes committed in the wake of the election of Donald Trump to the presidency.

In Ottawa, there have been multiple acts of anti-Semitism, including the painting of swastikas and hate messages on private homes and synagogues.

In Toronto, news outlets reported several racist incidents, including one on public transit caught on a cell phone video with a man raging at a fellow passenger to “go back to your f---ing country.”

These incidents are a disturbing reminder that racism is not a historical phenomenon.

Racism exists all around us in Canada. And while I would prefer not to see race-driven violence acted out on my door step, I have long believed that it’s preferable to know what we’re facing so we can tackle the ignorance head-on.

“If there is one silver lining (to Trump’s election), it’s maybe that we should talk more openly about race and stop pretending it’s an issue that we have dealt with,” author Kamal Al-Solaylee told CBC Radio in November. “I am talking about Canada.”

Al-Solaylee is the author of Brown, an examination of brown-skinned people, their identity and experiences in Canada and around the world. He notes that although Canada hasn’t been subject to the same level of division as in the U.S., politicians here have been known to play the race card and trigger division along racial lines to woo voters, including in last year’s federal election and the current federal Conservative leadership race.

It’s heartening that in recent incidents, the majority of Canadians have been outraged.

Attacks on Toronto transit are an affront in a city where in many neighbourhoods more than 60 per cent of residents are considered part of an eth-

Capital Muse nic minority group. Toronto is meant to be a model to the world in how people of different cultures, skin colours and religions can peacefully co-exist.

But as Al-Solaylee and others note, when we don’t have incidents that point out the stark divisions that lurk under the surface, it’s easy to become complacent about the racism that does exist and plays out in more subtle ways.

As a woman and a feminist, I’m a big believer that in order to smash the glass ceiling, we need to get the dominant culture on board A number of years ago, I undertook a study for the Canadian Association of Human Resources Associations, which examined the question of how racism plays out in hiring practices. The bulk of research offered evidence that in Canada, people with “foreign names,” or those who look different from the hiring panels, are frequently overlooked for jobs and promotions because of an unrecognized internal bias in those doing the hiring.

Even those of us, like me, who consider ourselves to be educated, open and tolerant people, have subtle biases lurking within us. It is human nature to fear what is different or what we don’t understand.

Until our personal biases are overtly challenged, we are generally not given an opportunity to recognize their existence, examine where we may be holding a particular negative viewpoint and better educate ourselves to challenge and alter these beliefs.

Of course, I make these particular statements as someone who comes from the dominant, white middle-class.

As a friend recently noted on Facebook, “If you’re not white you already knew racism exists here.” That’s because my friends who are Muslim, black, brown or first-generation Canadians from the Global South, are subject to the subtle ignorance of racism daily.

As a woman and a feminist, I’m a big believer that in order to smash the glass ceiling, we need to get the dominant culture on board.

For women, in politics and in business, this frequently means engaging white-haired, white men and garnering their support. It’s the same with racism.

The recent acts of violence – and those which will surely continue to emerge in the coming days – are deplorable.

But we can use them as an opportunity to look racism in the face, even if it means examining our own wrinkles in the mirror.

Trump has brought out the worst in some, but his win also opens up an opportunity for Canadians to examine racism out in the open, and to dialogue about it, with each other and with our children. This is the only way forward.

Ottawa-Vanier forever red

T

here are some things that are highly unlikely but still possible, and then there are those things that are absolutely impossible.

Just a week after the highly unlikely came true in the U.S. with the election of Donald Trump as president, there were some who thought, briefly, that the impossible could happen and a Liberal could lose an election in Vanier.

Didn’t happen. That is indeed truly impossible.

After the votes were counted in the Nov. 17 provincial byelection in the Ottawa-Vanier riding, Liberal Nathalie Des Rosiers crushed the Progressive Conservative’s star recruit André Marin by a victory margin of 5,655 votes, or 48.5 per cent of the vote to Marin’s 30 per cent.

The margin of victory for the Liberals was below that of the last provincial election, but the reality is that the race to succeed former Liberal MPP Madeleine Meilleur wasn’t even close. There were whispers before byelection day that the Liberals were vulnerable in Vanier. They clearly were not.

If the provincial Liberals were ever going to see their Ottawa-Vanier stronghold crumble this would be the time. The Liberal government of Kathleen

Wynne is, according to province-wide polls, on shaky ground with the electorate across Ontario, but Ottawa-Vanier isn’t the province as a whole. It is not considered a Liberal political fortress for nothing. If the Progressive Conservatives are ever going to challenge Liberal domination in Vanier and allow Nepean-Carleton PC MPP Lisa MacLeod to see a Tory elected in Ottawa-Vanier in, as she says, her lifetime, there would have to be a political earthquake in Vanier and there are no signs that the earth is going to move to such an extent any time soon. Marin, a Nepean resident, said after the vote count that he’s encouraged but he would have to take a step back and reflect on his campaign before deciding if he’d run again as the PC candidate in Ottawa-Vanier.

“I need to reflect … I’ve got to reconsider all the options looking forward,” Marin said.

If he is interested in running for provincial office again in the near future, he should consider finding another riding to parachute into.

There are some things that are a given in life, and in the city of Ottawa one of those things is that Vanier is true-blue Liberal red.

2017 spending should leave some lasting results

W

e seem to have an infinite capacity for being distracted by shiny things.

The latest is the proposed outdoor National Hockey League game that has been occupying the headlines of late. Can the game be on Parliament Hill or should it be at TD Place and who’s to blame for it not being at one, or the other, or either?

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? As far as I know, no dollar figure for the city taxpayer has been attached to any of the proposals, but you can imagine we wouldn’t be getting it for nothing.

And while it might be Scroogelike to grump about such a fun event, it is hard to see a lasting benefit. Once the game is over, everyone goes home, the rink is taken away and that’s that.

I’ve been looking at the cost of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town things lately, with an eye to certain provisions of the city budget. This started with an announcement that the city was committing $610,000 to social agencies that work with poor people. That sounds nice, until you begin pondering what $610,000 will buy and contrasting it with other expenditures.

We spent $610,000 on agencies that help poor people. We are committing more than twice that, $1.5 million, on extra policing costs associated with next year’s bicentennial celebrations.

And we announce $400,000 for a sound-and-light show at Chaudière

Falls for several weeks next fall 2017 to celebrate indigenous cultures.

How’s that $610,000 looking now?

It’s an easy game to point out frivolous spending and think of ways that it could be used more constructively.

Every time I look at the Super Bowl halftime show I think of how many people in Africa could be fed with that money.

It’s an easy game, but it does say something about our society’s priorities. Just to give you another example of how $610,000 stacks up, how about the cost of the royal visit to British Columbia by Prince William and family in September? Preliminary estimates by the department of Heritage come in at $855,000.

That includes $116,000 for a dry-run of the event before the royal folks even arrived.

To recap: $610,000 for anti-poverty groups in Ottawa, $855,000 for Will and Kate.

Some better news for poor people in Ottawa is the introduction of a low-income bus pass. Some constructive spending of taxpayer money ($2.7 million a year according to a CBC report) is involved, but even here there are questions.

The price of the pass, $57 a month, has been criticized as too high to be useful.

It could be lower if the province kicked in more money. But the province, as we know, has its own priorities.

The 2017 celebrations in this city are considered highly important by some people. In all likelihood those businesses that are involved in tourism will benefit. And in all likelihood the city will get some national and international publicity out of it, which may be worth something, EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

although no one can really tell how much.

Money is available for 2017 and money will be spent. It shouldn’t be too unreasonable to ask that some of it be spent in ways that bring permanent benefit to the city and its residents, particularly its less privileged ones.

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (Class EA) Updated Serviceability Report for the Leitrim Development Area (OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b) In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment 76 (OPA 76), the City increased its urban envelope by over 900 hectares. Part of the urban expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). Specifically, OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b were added to the LDA resulting in an additional 87.2 hectares of urban land. OPA 76 urban expansion areas were not included in the servicing strategy for the original 2005 LDA lands Community Design Plan, therefore, an updated servicing plan for the LDA has been prepared. The map illustrates the Leitrim Development Area and OPA Expansion Lands.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

MPP Jack MacLaren, with cadet Scott Coulombe, lays a wreath at the Constance Bay Remembrance Service this year. MacLaren will introduce a private members bill in March 2017 to add identification for veterans on provincial ID cards.

This LDA servicing study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the current Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document following an integrated planning and environmental assessment provisions (Section A.2.9) The Updated Serviceability Report (OPA76 Areas 8A, 9A and 9B) for the LDA determined the following: 1.

The LDA falls within the City’s 3C water pressure zone and is currently serviced with potable water from the Ottawa South Pumping Station, trunk watermains and local distribution system throughout the built up area. This water supply system has the capacity to support the planned LDA expansion, and will provide a reliable water service which meets the City’s level of service objectives.

2.

All wastewater flows from the LDA are tributary to the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station (LPS). The LPS discharges to twin forcemains constructed along Bank Street and outlet to the Conroy Road Collector Sewer which is located near the intersection of Bank Street and Conroy Road. The firm capacity of the LPS has excess capacity required to support the 87 hectares LDA expansion.

This is in part due to the fact that actual wastewater flows are less than the projected flow rates considered for the original design of the station. The four existing sub-trunk sewers within the existing LDA each have sufficient capacity to service the expanded LDA sanitary drainage areas as well.

3.

The LDA stormwater management system consists of a dual drainage network such as stormwater collection pipes; overland flow routes, watercourses and stormwater ponds. To facilitate the OPA 76 expansion lands, the required stormwater infrastructure will include new trunk storm sewers, a constructed channel for rural flow conveyance and the expansion of the existing Findlay Creek Village Stormwater Facility to provide water quantity and quality control.

A Class EA project file report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identifications and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solutions, public and agency consultation as well as potential development impacts and mitigation measure.

By way of this Notice, the Class EA report is being placed on the public record for a 30 day review starting on November 17, 2016. The report is available for public review at the following locations: City Hall, Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, Tel. 613-580-2400

If concerns regarding the project cannot be resolved through discussion with the IBI Group and the City of Ottawa a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment (EA) Act (referred to as a Part II Order). Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below by December 22, 2016.

A copy of this request must also be sent to the IBI Group and City of Ottawa at the address listed above. If there are no requests received by December 22, 2016, the project will be considered to have met the EA requirements and identified municipal infrastructure projects for the Leitrim Development Area will proceed to detailed design and construction.

MacLaren proposes identification of veterans on provincial ID cards

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Conservative CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren announced on Nov. 15 he will introduce a private members bill to add identification of veterans to provincial ID cards.

The proposal calls for a small yellow bar with the word veteran to be located below the photograph on driver’s licences and Ontario identification cards to indicate the bearer is a veteran, said MacLaren.

“I think it’s appropriate that we show respect for our veterans and I think we could show more – that’s what we’re trying to do here,” he said.

If passed, the provincial identification would be optional for veterans, which include all former members of the Canadian Forces who have been honourably released, as well as those who served in the reserve force, as well as special and domestic duties.

The bill will be presented on March 17.

“We thought it would be appropriate to speak about it now since we just had the Re-

membrance Day services last week,” said MacLaren.

MacLaren said he expects the Liberals and NDP will back the bill.

“We’re all Canadians and we all enjoy freedoms,” he said.

“And it’s the veterans who fought for and obtained those freedoms.”

BENEFITS

The federal veterans ombudsman has been calling for a national identification card for veterans since 2013, said MacLaren. And although veterans have access to a CFOne card issued by the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, it has no photo identification and “is not widely used.” MacLaren's office added the Ontario identification card (often used in place of a drivers licence by non-drivers) would not replace any Forces ID. The benefits of adding identification for veterans to provincial ID cards include public recognition of service, potential discounts, and emergency first responders could more easily triage veterans for

service-related conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, said MacLaren.

“Going into an event or an accident, a situation, it would just give them some information on the individual; that this person is a veteran,” he said.

Identification could potentially provide financial benefits as well.

“We see in the U.S. where they do have identification for veterans; there have been private sector businesses (that) have chosen to offer discounts,” said MacLaren.

“Perhaps in Canada too certain businesses might choose or be willing to offer a slight discount to veterans out of respect for their service.”

The cost to modify existing ID cards would likely be low, said MacLaren. However, no cost analysis has been completed.

MacLaren said he is open to any changes that might be suggested for the bill.

“If there are adjustments and changes that have to be made as we move along we’ll be accepting of that,” he said.

“I just want to get identification on cards.”

A young offender has been arrested and is facing several charges related to hate graffiti aimed at six religious institutions over the past week.

According to Ottawa police Const. Chuck Benoit, the male young offender, who is around 17 years old, appeared in court on Nov. 21. As of Nov. 22, the suspect was still in custody and facing a long list of charges from all six incidents.

He faces six counts of utter threats to cause death, six counts of mischief to religious buildings, six counts of breach of youth probation and two counts of dangerous weapons.

Benoit said the investigation is still ongoing and more charges are possible.

He was arrested in the area of Broadview Avenue.

Benoit said surveillance helped in the investigation and police were fortunate to have visuals from several locations that assisted police. The investigation included members of the hate crime unit, general investigators and patrol officers, Benoit said.

“We are very satisfied with the arrest,” he said.

Swastikas and racial slurs were discovered at Parkdale United Church, in the Glebe on Rabbi Anna Maranta’s front door, at Kehillat Beth Israel congregation on Coldrey Avenue, at the Machzikei Hadas Synagogue in Alta Vista, the Ottawa Mosque on Northwestern Avenue and the Jewish Community Centre near Carling and Broadview.

On Saturday, Ottawa residents gathered for a three-kilometre solidarity walk from Island Park Drive and Scott Street.

Following news of the arrest, Andrea Freedman, president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa released a statement thanking police.

“The police made this investigation a top priority and it was their dedication to increasing patrols at religious institutions that led directly to this arrest. The safety and security of our community is always our top priority and we

Catherine McKenney participated in the three-kilometre solidarity walk from Island Park Drive and Scott Street.

She tweeted “This is my Ottawa, our Ottawa, in solidarity against all hatred and intolerance” will continue to support the police in any way possible,” the statement reads.

She also thanked the wider community for standing by them through a troubling week.

“These attacks were directed not only against the Jewish community, but against all Canadians who share our core values of respect, tolerance and kindness. We will not allow ourselves to be threatened nor intimidated by such acts of cowardice. As a community, we will remain vigilant and continue to report anything suspicious to security officials.

We will continue to fight anti-Semitism and racism in all forms.”

A chorus of public leaders denounced the hate crimes, including Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi.

“Today we learned that the police are investigating a third act of vandalism and antiSemitism against Ottawa’s Jewish community,” the attorney general wrote in a statement last week. “These acts of hates and intolerance are shocking, sad and absolutely unacceptable. It is deeply troubling that are happening in our community – a community that values that diversity and inclusion.”

The Glebe Business Improvement Area was quick to stand behind Rabbi Maranta.

The association sent out a statement the same day she found the graffiti on her front door.

“The Glebe Business Improvement Area is horrified by the appearance of hate graffiti on the home of a local resident,” the statement reads.

“The symbols send a message of intolerance and hate to the entire community and we regard it as a sickening act.”

The crimes prompted Crime Prevention Ottawa to organize a speakers series for Nov. 25. The event, entitled Addressing Hate Crimes: Creating a Safe City for All, planned to feature: • Bernie Farber, executive director Mosaic Institute • Reverend Anthony Bailey, Minister Parkdale United Church • Joanne Law, representing the Ottawa Trans Community, • Dave Zackaris, staff sergeant diversity and race relations for Ottawa police • Amira Elghawaby, communications director for the National Council of Canadian Muslims.

High School’s senior basketball team lists Greenham as the senior team’s coach for the years 1980 and 1982.

Former students of Greenham’s have said he also coached the boys’ lacrosse team at Bell High School, and served as a guidance counsellor at Greenbank Middle School and Bayshore Public School.

According to the public register of the Ontario College of Teachers, Greenham earned his teaching certificate in Ottawa in 1964 and retired in 2013.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 22.

Police continue to investigate, and are concerned there could be more victims.

“The Ottawa police will respect a victim’s wishes to pursue or not pursue the matter before the courts,” said Staff Sgt. Angela McDade. “The reporting of these incidents by victims to police is key for investigators to identify suspects and determine crime trends.”

The most recent charges from Nov. 17 include gross indecency and indecent assault on a male.

They stem from alleged assaults involving 13- and 14-year-old victims that police claim occurred while Greenham was employed as a guidance counsellor and coach with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Bruce Cockburn to host 2017 JUNO Songwriters’ Circle The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced Nov. 22 that Ottawa native, 12-time JUNO Award winner, Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, and music legend Bruce Cockburn will host and perform at the 2017 JUNO Songwriters’ Circle, to be held in the NAC Theatre at the National Arts Centre on Sunday, April 2, 2017 from 12pm to 2pm EST. JUNO Songwriters’ Circle is an intimate and interactive concert benefiting MusiCounts, Canada’s music education charity associated with CARAS that works to keep music alive in schools and communities across Canada. Co-presented

by SOCAN and Yamaha Canada Music, in association with the Canadian Music Publishers Association, this event is considered the “jewel of JUNO Week,” and will feature some of Canada’s most talented songwriters, performing their songs and sharing the stories behind them.

Tickets to the 2017 JUNO Songwriters’ Circle go on sale

on November 24 at 10am EST at www.ticketmaster.ca, the National Arts Centre Box Office or by phone at 1-888-991-2787.

Tickets are available for $49.50 and $59.50 (plus taxes and service fees), with proceeds supporting MusiCounts.

“I’m honoured to have been asked to host the Songwriters’ Circle during JUNO Week 2017 in Ottawa. This one-of-a-kind showcase will offer people a

unique look into the raw emotions and art of storytelling that come with songwriting,” said Cockburn.

“I’m also pleased to participate in an event that supports MusiCounts and the work they do for school music programs across the country. These programs have a huge impact on fostering our future artists and developing a creative youth within Canada.”

Like most good things, we’re hard to find...

Overdose awareness campaign focuses on illicit drug use Ottawa Public Health has launched a public awareness campaign to draw attention to the risks associated with illicit fentanyl.

Reports of illicit or bootleg fentanyl have been increasing across Canada. These products, which are produced and sold on the street and have a variety of names and formulations, are much more toxic than pharmaceutical-grade opioids.

In Ontario, illicit fentanyl has been detected in heroin, cocaine, crack, in counterfeit pills manufactured to resemble prescription opioids (i.e. Oxycon-

…Stop waiting. Come dine with us!

tin, Percocet), and in other pills including ecstasy (MDMA). The presence of illicit fentanyl, which has recently been found in Ottawa, alone or mixed into other drugs, significantly increases the risk of overdose. It is odourless and tasteless and can be hard to detect when mixed with other substances. Even a small amount of illicit fentanyl the size of two grains of salt can be fatal.

Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an overdose related to an opioid such as fentanyl, heroin and morphine. Being able to quickly recognize the signs and

symptoms of an overdose and having a naloxone kit available can save a life while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

An overdose is a medical emergency.: call 911.

Ottawa Public Health and its partners are urging the public to seek out the following information from this new web resource: StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.

Take-home naloxone kits and training are available free of charge from OPH’s Site Needle & Syringe Program, many local pharmacies, The Ottawa Hospital and other community agencies.

New alcohol policy adds a little water to the wine

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan Amendment affects development in the Village of Richmond on the Northeast Development Lands, Industrial Lands and lands east of McBean Street and south of the railway tracks.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of the City-initiated amendments are to make necessary changes to the Richmond Secondary Plan in Volume 2C of the Official Plan to require that all development of the Northeast Development Lands, Industrial Lands and future residential and commercial lands east of McBean Street and south of the railway tracks be based on public communal well services. Development in the Industrial Lands will additionally be required to be connected to the central wastewater collection system.

The effect of the amendment is to remove two exception provisions in the secondary plan that have allowed for private or partial servicing of some development on the Northeast Development Lands, Southeast Development Lands or Industrial Lands in the Village of Richmond.

FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner. Further information, including access to the application, additional materials, and any related plans, studies or reports may also be obtained by going to Ottawa.ca/devapps and inputting the File Number D01-01-16-0018 in the “Search” criteria.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by December 23, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

The city is revamping their alcohol policy for outdoor events in advance of 2017.

Di Monte said committee was hearing divergent opinions and that there’s no way to please everyone.

“We would like to move forward with policy or it will be a Hodge podge for staff in 2017,” he said.

Deans said there does seem to be some differences of opinion that likely won’t get resolved before the Nov. 23 council meeting.

“I guess we will all have to take a little water with our wine,” she said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said staff missed the boat and could’ve included

the ability to name an area a temporary park – to put forward a Dragon’s Boat-type model.

“Certainly we are a fun city,” he said. “We do so safely.”

Board of Health chair Coun. Shad Qadri said he wants to see a recent report on changing the culture to one of moderation when it comes to alcohol included in the policy.

The committee chose to send the report to council without a recommendation in the hopes that some of the more contentious issues could be ironed out beforehand.

Paramedic chief Anthony Di Monte said Ottawa police were not in favour of a Bourbon Street style, and cordoning off a specific area allowed more control.

The city’s alcohol permit policy hasn’t been updated in a dozen years.

Despite providing the site plan – which is illustrations of the different kinds of scenarios for alcohol permits – to business improvement areas a year ago, the report in its entirety wasn’t made available until Nov. 10.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that didn’t seem enough time for the members to go over the proposal.

“We have known 2017 was coming for several years,” Chiarelli said of the push to have an updated policy in place before 2017 events start.

Steve Monuk, representing Ottawa Venues York Entertainment, said he’s all for the part of the proposal that gives delegated authority to staff to grant the applications.

Under the current process, he has to submit his Canada Day application in April and doesn’t hear back until June 27.

Committee chair Coun.

Diane Deans, was among the committee members that identified some problems with the public consultation and the language around the four site scenarios included in the report.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Remembrance Week

Given that press time for our last column was before the Remembrance Day events, I wanted to take a moment to thank the organizers in Kanata and Carp for their outstanding parade and ceremonies. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to so many people at both the Kanata Legion and the Diefenbunker, and was so inspired by the number of people who showed up to the events.

Our community can be proud of their displays of gratitude to our Veterans.

Kanata Santa Claus Parade

What a beautiful day we had to walk through the crowds and welcome Santa to Kanata! My team and I gave out so much chocolate that we ran out of supplies. Many thanks to the organizing committee, the volunteers, and all those who attended such a terrific parade.

Anti-bullying Campaign

I want to thank Councillor Alan Hubley for his leadership in highlighting Ottawa’s anti-bullying campaign. Using a Frisbee to toss from person to person to initiate a discussion on prevention is such an effective way of starting the conversation. After catching the Frisbee from Concillor Hubley, I made a toss to my colleague Peter Shiefke, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for Youth. Please follow the Frisbee’s progress on my web page, and please discuss with others how you can play a role in eliminating bullying.

Around the Community

Thank you to the Glen Cairn Community Association for their invitation to attend their annual tree lighting ceremony. It was a beautiful evening to light up an incredible tree! It was also such a pleasure to join the Cadets of 872 Squadron during their fundraising spaghetti dinner. It was great to speak to so many intelligent, respectfully young men and women.

Canada Company – Veterans Event

It was my pleasure this week to speak at the Aviation Museum to an incredible group of professionals who care deeply about Canada’s Veterans. Canada Company hosted a National Transition exCHANGE. The event brought together dozens of companies who actively hire retiring members of the Canadian Forces. Often it is difficult for companies to understand the skills and training that the retiring members have to offer to civilian employers. Events like the exCHANGE bring together companies and retiring members and have proven incredibly successful in helping these new Veterans transition to the civilian workforce.

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 karenmccrimmon.ca.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 9, 2016, established its intention to designate the 307 Richmond Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property- Former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church, 307 Richmond Road The church at 307 Richmond Road is a one-and-one-half-storey stone building constructed in 1898 in the Westboro neighbourhood in Ottawa’s west end.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value The building at 307 Richmond Road has cultural heritage value for its design value as a village church built in the Gothic Revival style, its historic value as an example of the early development of Ottawa’s west end, and its contextual value as a landmark along Richmond Road.

The church at 307 Richmond Road has design value as a good example of a small 19th century stone village church in the Ottawa area. The building is a simple interpretation of the Gothic Revival style, featuring pointed arch windows with decorative tracery and stone quoins. The central gable over the front door features decorative bargeboard. Located in the present day community of Westboro, the former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church has historical value for its association with the early development of the Ottawa’s west end. Constructed in 1898, it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Westboro.

It operated as a Methodist church until 1925 when the United Church of Canada was formed. In 1928, the building was sold to a Baptist congregation.

The building has contextual value due to its location on Richmond Road, which as the main east-west highway into the city, played an integral role in the development of the small, rural villages west of Ottawa. The church is a landmark as one of a number of stone buildings located along Richmond Road in Westboro, the centre of Nepean Township in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan Amendment and Comprehensive Zoning By-law Amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan Amendment (file number D01-01-16-0011) and Zoning By-Law Amendment (file number D02-02-16-0073) affects new development and redevelopment in proximity to the MacDonald-Cartier International Airport as well as the Rockcliffe and Carp Airports as illustrated on Annex 10 of the Official Plan.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of the City-initiated amendments are to: • update Annex 10 of the Official Plan with a new 35 NEP/NEF composite noise contour line • to make necessary changes and streamline existing airport noise control policies in the Official Plan • make necessary updates to the Zoning Bylaw The introduction of a new 35 composite contour in Annex 10 is a result of new noise projections for the McDonald-Cartier airport to the year 2043. Effort has been made to have the 35 NEP line conform generally to land use boundaries and topographic features. The streamlined policies and necessary changes in the Official Plan are intended to provide greater clarity in regard to land use permissions in the vicinity of airports and provide an update to dates and references.

Celebratory smiles abound on the tarmac in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Nov. 15. Haitian businessman and Food for the Poor Haiti president Daniel Rouzier (left) and Food for the Poor Haiti executive director Bishop Ogé Beauvoir (second from right) greet Elmvale Acres resident Robert Ready and Samantha Mahfood, Toronto-based executive director of Food for the Poor Canada, who joined a humanitarian aid mission to the Caribbean nation.

Newly linked partners deliver aid to hurricane-stricken Haiti

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Port-au-Prince, Haiti — A convoy of vehicles zips along the streets of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, teeming with afternoon traffic.

A truck packed with police SWAT officers, who grip automatic guns and hide their identities behind black balaclavas, races ahead, closing off roads to ensure a safe and unobstructed escort.

In Haiti’s crowded capital city people struggle through their day. The realities of extreme poverty are everywhere in this nation, considered the poorest in the Western Hemisphere.

As the convoy heads deeper into the city, people sell their wares along side streets — shoes and other goods are laid out for sale on the hardpacked dirt.

Tires are propped against a tree waiting for

an interested buyer.

A man is seated within a tarped enclosure on the sidewalk getting a haircut.

Piles of garbage dot city corners, festering in the 30-degree heat.

Food is scarce. Most is imported, forcing up food prices. The water is undrinkable in this country of about 11 million people. Of those, 10 million require daily food assistance. The average daily income is $1 to $2.

The vehicles slow as they enter a guarded compound, home to Food for the Poor Haiti, one of the largest nongovernmental organizations in this Caribbean nation.

Several Haitian and Canadian dignitaries are welcomed into the headquarters building, arriving ahead of a large shipment of much-needed emergency supplies they accompanied from Montreal on Nov. 15.

SHOW OF SOLIDARITY

Today’s humanitarian aid mission is a signal of progress, the cornerstone of which is Canadian assistance.

“It’s a real show of solidarity with the people of Haiti,” said Elmvale Acres resident Robert Ready, who joined the mission in his role as vicechair of Food for the Poor Canada.

For the first time, Food for the Poor Canada, Air Transat and Health Partners International of Canada partnered to ship 16 skids of medical supplies, such as cholera medicine and antibiotics, and 2.8 million water purification tablets to alleviate some of the enormous suffering Haitians are facing in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew which hit in late September.

See PARTNERSHIP, page 29

Partnership a recognition of strengths on the ground Continued from page 28

“It’s also, I think, a recognition of the strengths on the ground for Food for the Poor Haiti and the ongoing partnership that we’re going to have from Canada through ourselves, through health partners and hopefully other NGOs and donors to keep up the good work there,” said Ready, who first became aware of Food for the Poor when he served in Jamaica as Canada’s ambassador to that nation.

“It identifies relationships that exist here,” he said. “It’s something that’s going to continue as we grow Food for the Poor in Canada.”

Food for the Poor Haiti’s 3,700-square-metre warehouse, which receives an average of 100 cargo containers worth of food a month, will temporarily house the load of $1.3 million in surplus medical supplies before it is distributed to help 50,000 Haitians. The goods were acquired by Health Partners from 19 Canadian pharmaceutical and health-care companies.

The purification tablets, which will produce 12.5 million litres of fresh water, were purchased by Food for the Poor Canada and were “really hardearned for me because we don’t receive a lot of cash donations from the Canadian public,” said Samantha Mahfood, the Toronto-based executive director of Food for the Poor Canada, which has been in operation for just eight years.

The NGO has been at work in Jamaica and the United States for more than three decades.

But she’s hoping to make a bigger stamp by establishing high-profile partnerships and boosting the name among Canadians, Canadian corporations and the Canadian government.

“My goal is to raise awareness in Canada about the fact that we have one of the best Haitian organizations on the ground,” Mahfood said, referring to Food for the Poor Haiti’s 300 employees, a trucking fleet, six distribution centres around the country, and the warehouse that officials and journalists toured together.

“I want Canadians to know about it so that they don’t doubt their money is being used well,” she said.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Vendors and shoppers congregate along a busy sidewalk in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Nov. 15. The need is great in the Caribbean nation, but with the help of Canadians many more people are able to receive urgently needed supplies in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, which blew through in late September.

DIRECT ACCESS

It’s that direct line of access that drew the Montreal-based Health Partners, which has its warehouse in Oakville, Ont., to the partnership. The organization only works with trusted partners on the ground to distribute medicine to clinics and hospitals, said president Denis St-Amour.

“Being assured the product gets to where it’s intended to go is also very important,” he said.

“When you’re dealing with extreme poverty, when there’s been an infrastructure breakdown there’s also the chance for corruption, for product going where it shouldn’t be going.”

Last year, the 26-year-old Canadian organization delivered medical treatments to one million people in 52 countries thanks to its network of indus-

try partners.

“In the developing world, things that are here (in Canada) we could so easily handle, become major challenges for countries like Haiti that don’t have a good infrastructure, they don’t have a good transportation system,” he said. “So even getting help to them is never an easy task.”

Franz Liautard, Haiti’s Ottawa-based ambassador to Canada, said he has known for some time the work being done by Food for the Poor.

“I personally know what Food for the Poor has done in Haiti for a long time,” said Liautard, who attended the aid mission’s send-off in Montreal. “They get, at a minimum cost, directly to the people who need it. To me that’s a benchmark.”

Paula Caldwell, Canada’s ambassador to Haiti, was among those dignitaries who welcomed the shipment and its

escort in Port-au-Prince.

The arrival was only made possible “because of the generosity of Canadians” and “a good, a strong and solid partnership,” she said. “This is all about Canada and Canadians getting together and helping Haiti and that’s what we’ve done for many, many years.”

Following a tour of the Food for the Poor Haiti’s warehouse, where everything from bags of rice and bottled water to finishing nails and folding tables will soon be shipped out to impoverished villages, the vehicle convoy returns to even busier city streets.

Men and women stand at paltry stalls made of tarps.

One man pushes a wheelbarrow laden with a menagerie of goods to be sold, while another sells sliced fruit laid out in the hot sun.

The sights are sad here, agreed Haitian-born and Montrealbased Air Transat pilot Hans Obas during the drive back to the airport. But there are also signs of hope.

“At least they stopped the fighting,” he said. “People are working together to bring this city in the right direction.”

Even with the severe poverty, Haitian pride and feelings of unity have returned.

“With these two things we

can’t do a miracle, but at least we can start doing the real work,” said Obas. Though the aid mission was a success and the trio of new partnerships is a signal that efforts by Food for the Poor Canada are gaining momentum, Mahfood doesn’t yet consider it mission accomplished.

to donate to Food for the Poor Canada so we can do more.”

Given the high profile of the unique mission, Ready considers it a success. He also added 80 pounds of stuffed toys to the emergency relief supplies that had been donated by his family.

“This was a new experience for me to actually go down with a shipment of supplies that’s going to have that kind of impact,” he said after arriving back in Montreal. “It gives you a warm feeling just to be part of it.”

Food for the Poor Haiti, said in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, the relief and development organization has extended its network even further into Haiti given the urgent need for help.

The not-for-profit is helping with rebuilding efforts. About 20 coastal fishing villages require repairs, while another 13 need replacing.

“The water went up by six or seven feet and on top of that we had 15-foot waves,” Rouzier said.

“The homes that were there were just levelled.”

In addition to providing food and mentoring in farming and animal husbandry, the organization will also supply seeds to try and jumpstart food production.

“Basically everything we had harvested for the summer was put in silos or warehouses that were destroyed,” Rouzier said, adding that crops that were to be harvested in October were also lost.

“Essentially what we have is a three-month shortage of food that needs to be addressed quickly,” he said. “Until these (seeds) can be harvested, the people need to be fed.”

For Rouzier, the shipment signals Canadian generosity.

“It means there is still a good deal of love in this world,” said the entrepreneur and philanthropist. “It means that even though Canada is far away, we’re physically still close to the Canadians.”

A vibrant Haitian diaspora in Canada is helping. “I think we’ve seen a tremendous show of love and solidarity,” Rouzier said, adding it demonstrates what can be accomplished “and really give a hand up and not just a hand out.”

Are you ready for it? Well, it all happens this coming Saturday, Nov. 26 starting at 6 p.m. when Stittsville Main Street becomes a ribbon of Christmas lights and floats with the holding of the annual Christmas Parade of Lights.

Once again this year this Christmas Parade of Lights promises to be a highlight of Christmas 2016 in Stittsville.

At 6 p.m., floats decorated with hundreds of Christmas lights will start making their way along Stittsville Main Street, starting at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and proceeding south along Stittsville Main Street, pass-

ing through the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection and continuing on to Carleton Cathcart Street where the parade will disperse.

There’s plenty of good viewing spots all along the route and each year people line the street to enjoy the passing lighted floats.

Of course, again this year, like always, Santa Claus himself will be bringing up the rear in the parade.

And, immediately following the parade, there will be a brief ceremony at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street where the Christmas lights in the trees in the park will be turned on for the first time, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville.

Again this year, just like in previous years, members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be travelling along the parade route just before the start of the parade, collecting both nonperishable food items as well as cash donations for the Stittsville Food Bank. This is a particularly busy time for the Stittsville Food Bank as it tries to meet the needs of those in the Stittsville community who are facing hard times in this Christmas season. That’s why this collection of food items and money at the Parade of Lights is so important – it happens at just the right time when the need is great.

Those attending the parade should have their “oohs” and “aahs” ready as you are bound to be awe-struck by some of this

year floats. There’s always a few that are just spectacular but really every float – and there are usually more than 50 entries in the parade – has its own glow and appeal.

And they just keep coming, one after the other, in a steady stream. There isn’t a better continuous show of Christmas lights and seasonal costumes and scenes anywhere!

So make sure that you are there, somewhere along Stittsville Main Street, to see this year’s annual Christmas Parade of Lights. It’s now become a Stittsville tradition that really spreads the Christmas spirit through the community.

It all begins at 6 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 26 along Stittsville Main Street.

Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it?

I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents.

Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario.

Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains.

Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org

Annual culinary challenge launched to help social programs Mexican ambassador accepts post as honorary president

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

A special cooking competition aims to help out lowincome families in the Vanier area.

The Vanier Community Service Centre launched its fifth edition of the Espoirs culinaires de la region de la capitale nationale – a cooking competition expected to raise

thousands for social programs in the community.

As part of the fun, studentchefs from La Cité will be challenged to create dishes inspired

by Mexican flavours.

The students will be paired with renowned local chefs for the competition — to make the best Mexican dish for the main event held on March 7, 2017.

President of the board of directors for the community service centre, Raymond Delage, said the competition helps change the lives of clients.

Michel Gervais, director of the centre, said the competition is an example of the centre’s commitment to partner-

ing with the community.

“We are proud to demonstrate that our organization offers excellent services contributing to both positive social and economic outcomes,” he added.

Money raised from the 2017 event will help out the centre’s family support services program and the school readiness program, HIPPY. In March 2016, the event helped raise $50,000 for the programs.

Each year CSCV reaches out to an embassy to partner with the event to help choose the evening’s theme.

The ambassador from the embassy becomes the honorary president of the competition.

And so, this year, former honorary president German Ambassador Werner Wnendt passed the torch – an oversized whisk – to Mexican Ambassador Agustín García-López Loaeza.

“We are delighted that our country will be the inspiration of this new edition. It is for us an opportunity to promote our

Contact us today and Get YOUR BUSINESS FOUND! A panel of judges, including someone from the embassy, will judge the dishes.

The Mexican embassy was happy to oblige.

“Viva Mexico, viva Vanier,” García-López Loaeza said.

Tickets for the evening are $125 each, which includes cocktails, dinner, wine or beer.

The event will take place at the college, at 801 Aviation Parkway.

All proceeds will go to the service centre, to help fund play groups, breastfeeding support, children with special needs, families living in social housing and young pregnant women.

It also helps fund the HIPPY program – a program that helps new immigrants and low-income family children prepare for school in Ottawa by giving parents the tools to help their children learn.

Music competition at Zida Academy

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

There’ll be music, music everywhere at the Zida Academy in Stittsville on Sunday, Dec. 11.

That’s when the music school is holding its 2016 music competition, running from 10 a.m. through to 4 p.m.

Over 100 musical pieces will be played by Zida Academy students, ranging from beginner to advanced levels.

This music event is open to the public with free admission.

The competition will see music students grouped by age (from under 4 years to 15 years and up), by group (primer to 3) and by Royal Conservatory of Music grade (1 to ARCT).

The younger and lower

grade level competition will be held earlier in the event while the older and more advanced students will participate as the day goes on.

There will be a 30 minute break in the music sometime between 12 noon and 1 p.m.

The Zida Academy was founded in June 1996 as a music school in Nepean under the name of Centrepointe Music Academy. Over 10,000 students of all ages have enrolled at this music school over the past 20 years.

In 2002, Centrepointe Artistic Preschool was established to offer an arts enhanced curriculum and before and after school programs for children up to age 12.

In 2004, the Centrepointe Learning Centre and the Centrepointe Academy of Dance were established to expand the

program offerings in academic and dance classes.

In 2005, the Canada Cambridge-Zida International Education Institute was established to facilitate international exchanges and learning opportunities. In 2008 the Young Artists School of Piano was formed to provide piano master classes.

In order to unite all of these program offerings under one brand, the Zida Academy was established in May 2015 as a learning and recreation centre, located in the former Ottawa Waldorf School premises in Stittsville. Zida Academy has applied to the Ontario Ministry of Education to begin operating as a licensed early childhood education centre for children ages 2 to 5 years at the Zida Academy’s Stittsville location.

CHEO and school board talk about sleep In collaboration with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is pleased to present a free information session for parents with tips from experts on how to improve poor sleeping habits in children and youth of all ages. This event will take place December 12 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at LongfieldsDavidson Heights Secondary School, 149 Berri-

gan Drive, Nepean.

Sleep plays an essential role in a child’s health and well-being. It is critical for good physical and mental health, but many youth just don’t get enough. Lack of sleep can cause a number of health problems. On the other hand, trouble sleeping can also be a symptom of physical or mental health problems.

The information session will begin with a brief presentation on sleep by each of the health experts, followed by a discussion. Audience members will have many opportunities to be heard – they can submit questions in writing at the event, or presubmit questions online.

Members of the panel will include: Dr. Hilary Myron

BY AMY HOGUE

Imagine a time when you called a service company and a technician would show up promptly for a service call at your home, tip his hat, clean up any mess from the work performed, and thank you for your Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning is one of the select businesses certified business when the work is done. as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor.

This doesn’t have to be just a mem- Here, General Manager and Partner, Roger ory of a time when customer service Holmes (left), is shown with Bryan Baeumler was something to be taken seriously; during a visit to Toronto in September 2016. at Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning, they don’t just offer lip service about putting customers first, they are committed to taking customer service to the next level, and setting a whole new standard in the industry.

“We designed our business around the belief that we would do what we said we were going to do, when said we were going to do it, and to then stand behind the work that we did,” General Manager and Partner, Roger Holmes explained.

This may seem like rhetoric that so many other companies spout regularly, but for Holmes, this philosophy is the cornerstone of his business. He doesn’t expect people to take his word on it, however, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

Being named as one of a select number of businesses recognized as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor is proof positive of the Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning team’s reputation of high quality service, integrity, and honesty. The family-owned and operated business also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and has been reviewed more than 200 times on Home Stars, a trusted resource for reviewing home professionals, with a rating of 9.6 out of 10.

It’s easy to see why customers appreciate their experience - offering 24 hours same-day emergency service, and two-hour window appointment times so customers aren’t left waiting all day wondering when a technician will arrive.

Servicing a wide geographical range, from Perth to Smiths Falls, Kanata, Stittsville, Carp, Arnprior, and Renfrew, no customer will be left high and dry when dealing with Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning.

In fact, Holmes is so concerned with making sure the customers’ experience comes first, that appointment confirmation emails are sent out that include the name and recent photo of the technician who will be servicing the call, offering peace of mind to customers admitting someone unfamiliar into their home.

When their technician arrives at a customer’s home the first thing they do is roll out the red carpet – literally! Technicians bring with them a carpet to stand on while putting on protective boot covers to ensure the customer’s home remains pristine after the service visit. These are the often-overlooked details that sets them above and beyond his competitors.

Following their appointment, customers are emailed a copy of the work order describing what was done and the invoice, as well as a sincere thank you for choosing Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning for their service needs.

“That’s the professionalism, we are respectful of our customer’s time, and respectful of their safety and security,” Holmes stressed, “Our goal as a team is to create a customer experience that is so exceptional all they want to do is tell everyone they know…it’s what we do different that keeps customers coming back.”

Dr. Myron is a general pediatrician practicing at CHEO and the Montfort Hospital. She has a special interest in pediatric sleep, focusing on the behavioural aspects of sleep in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, as well as typically developing children. Dr. Myron has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Guelph, a Master of Public Administration from Queen’s University, and completed her Doctorate in Medicine at the University of Ottawa. She completed her residency in pediatrics at CHEO, and has pursued additional training in academic pediatrics and sleep.

Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput Dr. Chaput is a research scientist at the CHEO Research Institute and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on obesity prevention and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, and new determinants of obesity including lack of sleep and mental stress. He serves on many journal editorial boards and advisory committees, and has contributed to a large number of conferences around the world. Dr. Chaput received several awards for his research, including the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) Young Investigator Award (2016) and the Roger Broughton Young Investigator Award from the Canadian Sleep Society (2015).

When: Monday, December 12, from 7:00 – 9:00pm Where: Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School auditorium, 149 Berrigan Drive, Nepean.

More than 40,000 Canadians ‘Demand a Plan’ for seniors care The number of Canadians pressing for action to improve seniors care in Canada through the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Demand a Plan campaign has surpassed 40,000 and continues to climb.

“Behind every one of these supporters is someone – or someone’s loved one – who is not getting the high-quality seniors care he or she deserves,” said Dr. Granger Avery, the CMA President. “Canada needs a new national Health Accord that will help our health

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is the national voice of Canadian physicians.

Founded in 1867, the CMA is a voluntary professional organization representing more than 83,000 of Canada’s physicians and comprising 12 provincial and territorial medical associations and 60 national medical organizations.

The number of supporters adding their voice to the call for action at Demand a Plan has grown by over 25,000 since last fall’s federal election, when the CMA launched the campaign to ensure the voices of Canadians would be heard on health care. The Demand a Plan site has also expanded to include real-life stories from supporters trying to navigate the health care system to get care for themselves

or their loved one.

“During the election campaign last fall Demand a Plan supporters got the issue of seniors care on the election agenda, but now Canadians want action in the form of new Health Accord,” added Dr. Avery.

Shortage in agriculture to double by 2025 The gap between labour demand and the domestic workforce in agriculture has doubled from 30,000 to 59,000 in the past ten years and projections indicate that by 2025, the Canadian agri-workforce could be short workers for 114,000 jobs.

This is a key finding of newly released Agriculture 2025: How the Sector’s Labour Challenges Will Shape its Future research by the Canadian Agricultur-

al Human Resource Council (CAHRC). The LMI research also revealed that primary agriculture has the highest industry job vacancy rate at 7 per cent.

“The sustainability and future growth of Canada’s agriculture and agri-food industry is at risk,” explains Portia MacDonald-Dewhirst, CAHRC Executive Director. “It is critically important that this risk is acknowledged and mitigated in an

intentional and strategic way. “ The agriculture industry has been encouraging young people and workers from other sectors to get into agriculture as a career. Despite extensive efforts gaps still exist and there still will be a large void in the future.

Labour shortages create risks to farmers who can only hope they will have the same or greater access to both domestic and foreign workers in the fu-

ture as they do now. The LMI study examined only primary production; agri-food industries such as food and beverage processors or input suppliers, which have additional labour demands, were not considered in the research.

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

I am in a serious, committed relationship and have been living with my partner for 5 years now. I am uncertain if we will ever marry because neither one of us really believe it’s something that we want. Friends of ours were asking us if we had ever thought about a cohabitation agreement given our living situation.

We had never heard of such an agreement, what is it all about?

Many couples today choose to live together in long-term and committed relationships without marrying. What some couples do not understand is that the law treats married and unmarried, or common-law, spouses very differently. It is important to understand these differences and how they will affect a person’s rights to property, support payments or a partner’s estate.

Some key things to remember: in Ontario, property is not automatically divided between unmarried couples if a relationship ends; unmarried spouses may have a spousal support obligation, but only if they have a child together or if they have been living together for at least three years; and only married spouses automatically have a right to share in a spouse’s estate if that spouse dies without a will, no matter how long a couple has been in a relationship or whether they have children together.

In order to protect yourself and your partner, unmarried couples are permitted to negotiate a contract–a cohabitation agreement–that lets them agree on certain rights and obligations in the relationship. A cohabitation agreement gives couples a great opportunity to carefully

consider each other’s financial situation now and in the future, and decide together how they wish to share property, pay (or not pay) support to a partner in the event of a break-up, and what happens to the estate upon the death of a partner.

It is important to plan ahead, be aware of your rights, and know what will happen if a relationship ends by choice or in the event of a death. The good news is that it’s never too late to draft a cohabitation agreement, whether you are considering moving in together, or whether you have been living together for a short or long period already. Many couples worry that having a conversation about a cohabitation agreement will be difficult and distasteful, but having these discussions now can lead to thoughtful and caring discussions about the future.

It is also important to remember that in order to have legal effect, these agreements need to have clear terms that are understood by, and achieve the intentions of, each person. This is why it is critical to have a qualified family lawyer assist in the preparation of a cohabitation agreement.

Your buying choices matter to your community and your future.

It’s that time of year!

We are planning for the holidays; time with family and friends, getting into the spirit of giving and making more purchases than we would during the entire rest of the year combined! So it seems a good time to revisit the idea of keeping it local. Online marketing and buying has revolutionized our consumer habits. It has created many favourable opportunities for the market place and the global economy. We view it as convenient and efficient and many believe they are getting better deals. It is not reasonable to expect our communities to be completely self-sustained.

However, there are advantages to keeping the balance between shopping locally and online. Advantages that have a real economic, environmental and cultural impact on us.

I have always been a huge proponent of shopping locally.

I come from a small community so it was easy to see the changes in the economic landscape and gauge how decision making by government and the community could make an impact. It is very much the same in a larger community like Ottawa. I had a friend who owned a shoe store and I didn’t buy shoes outside that store for the 9 years she owned it.

Why would I not support the business of someone who was my friend, my neighbour and a community supporter? Why wouldn’t any of us?

Many studies have shown that money spent locally means more money in the community circulated at a greater velocity which is what keeps the local economy thriving. In addition, local business people are more likely to support community causes and at a higher level. So you can thank them for our local sports teams, greater access to health care, education and the arts. All in our own backyard.

Our commitment to local businesses also spurs new businesses which means more access to a variety of products and better services at our fingertips. We can access unique, high quality products often at the same or better price. And we receive more value in the form of personal customer service, advice and referrals to other things we are seeking. I love interacting with the people who are helping me with my purchase. I often have fun and thoughtful conversations that add meaning to my day. It’s not that we will never buy online. The key is keeping our choices alive tomorrow by balancing our buying decisions today.

The West Ottawa Board of Trade actively promotes the businesses that support our community work through membership. One program that really keeps it local is our Member to Member Program. Many member businesses have special offerings or discounts that fellow member businesses and their employees can access. What better time to check it out than during the holiday season? On behalf of our board, staff and volunteers, we wish you a prosperous and healthy holiday season in this wonderful community.

Cheers to your success!

MPP MacLaren to host hydro town hall meetings ‘We get more calls about hydro bills in this office than any other subject’

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren will host four town hall meetings throughout his riding to address hydro issues.

MacLaren, whose riding includes those on Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One, said increased electricity rates are causing financial hardships for his constituents.

“We get more calls about hydro bills in this office than any other subject,” he said.

Last year in Ontario,

60,000 people had their hydro turned off in their homes because “they couldn’t pay their bills,” MacLaren said.

Many of those who live on government pensions, or who have lost their job, struggle to pay their bills, he said. And although the Liberal provincial government will introduce an eight per cent tax rebate on electricity bills in January, it’s not enough because costs keep rising.

“They’re just running out of money,” said MacLaren. “It’s not OK. People, they’re hurting and they want information.”

The four town halls – two in Kanata and one each in Pakenham and West Carleton – will offer people information about their hydro bills and the chance to hear from Parker Gallant, a retired banker and former chairman of the Canadian Bankers Association’s trade finance committee, who is a contributor to the Financial Post on matters relating to the energy sector and is the vice-president of Wind Concerns Ontario.

“We’re going to have an expert on the subject, to explain to people their hydro bills,”

said MacLaren. “It’s an information town hall meeting.

“Government needs to start to understand that they’re causing great hardship in Ontario, whether it’s businesses trying to survive or people trying to pay their hydro bills. We have to see if there’s something that can be done.”

MacLaren said he had a constituent from West Carleton call his office when his bill doubled to $1,000 for no discernable reason.

He called the Hydro One ombudsman to inquire about the bill, which was then reduced to its regular amount.

But the ombudsman couldn’t explain why it went up in the first place or why it was reduced, he said.

“They weren’t sure,” MacLaren said. “It’s pretty hard

to have any level of confidence in Hydro One (when they can’t explain why).”

MEETINGS

MacLaren will host four town hall hydro information meetings: • Saturday, Nov. 26: 10 a.m. to noon at the Stewart Community Centre, 112 MacFarlane St., Pakenham.

• Saturday, Nov. 26: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., Kanata.

• Saturday, Dec. 3: 10 a.m. to noon at the Kinburn Community Centre, 3045 Kinburn Side Rd., Kinburn.

• Saturday, Dec. 3: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute, 335 Michael Cowpland Dr. unit 112, Kanata.

“The kids have been extremely receptive to the idea,” said Amanda McDonald.

“They seem to want to have that connection with the women and children at the shelter.”

McDonald, a Grade 7/8 French immersion teacher at Huntley Centennial, started

the Angel Tree program with her own class eight years ago.

Now, she’s expanding the program to involve each of the school’s 25 classrooms in order to provide even more gifts.

Starting in the first week of December, each classroom at Huntley Centennial will have its own basket that the children will be invited to fill. The

school will have between 55 to 65 Angels, which they’ll divide evenly between the classrooms.

Each classroom will likely have one mom and two or three children each to look after, McDonald said.

“The empathy seems to really come out,” she said of the program in previous years.

“I think it’s because it is kids

The Chrysalis House – a 25-bed shelter where women can bring their dependents for protection from violence and abuse – is run by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. It is open to any selfidentified woman and her dependents.

In the past, students in Mc-

Donald’s class have donated toys, school supplies, games, clothing, gift cards and everyday essentials. They’ve donated to Angels who have children ranging in age from infant to teenager.

The baskets for the Angel Tree program will be open to children to donate as many or as few gifts as they wish.

Liberals win big in Ottawa-Vanier byelection

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER AND BRIER DODGE michelle.nash@metroland.com

In Ottawa-Vanier there is only one colour.

Red. The byelection on Nov. 17 proved it with Liberal candidate Nathalie Des Rosiers firmly taking hold of the Ottawa-Vanier seat as the riding’s new MPP. Joined by former OttawaVanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, Des Rosiers thanked a large crowd of supporters, including four Ottawaarea Liberal MPPs. Thanking Meilleur, Des Rosiers said she couldn’t have had a better inspiration than the longtime Ottawa-Vanier MPP. “I know I have huge, big red shoes to fill, but I’m inspired by her (Meilleur’s) work and I promise to do my best,” Des Rosiers said.

Des Rosiers, a former law dean at the University of Ottawa, added she is proud to be working for Ottawa-Vanier residents and encouraged her large group of supporters to celebrate, as the real work was set to begin the next morning.

As the Ottawa-Vanier byelection results started to come in Thursday night, it quickly became clear that the provincial Liberal stronghold would hold firm to its red roots.

The party has held the seat that now is called OttawaVanier for decades, and that proved to be in no real danger of changing in this byelection.

As of just after 10 p.m. and with 101 of 265 polls reporting, Des Rosiers held a commanding lead over Progressive Conservative star candidate André Marin by a 52 percent to 27 per cent

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Newly elected Ottawa-Vanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers, middle, looks at her new boss, Premier Kathleen Wynne and a large crowd shouts her name on Nov. 17. margin in votes counted.

Shortly after one media outlet declared it a Liberal victory around 10:05 p.m., NepeanCarleton PC MPP Lisa MacLeod said it was a disappointing result for her party.

“I’m very disappointed for my party and obviously very disappointed for André (Marin) himself, but lets remember, this riding hasn’t gone Progressive Conservative in my lifetime.”

She said it was a tall order to try and win such a fiercely loyal Liberal riding.

Her silver lining, she said, was the party’s ability to attract such a strong candidate to run for the party, calling Marin one of the strongest candidates to ever run for office.

“I’m the only Tory in the entire city of Ottawa, and it’s been lonely for the last 10 years,” she

said of being the lone Conservative from the city in the provincial legislature. “You go into every campaign wanting to win it, and you really put your best foot forward.”

Marin was upbeat in his concession speech.

“This is a Liberal fortress.

They threw everything they have at us and we still increased our base by seven per cent,” Marin said. “I think what’s important here is to put everything in perspective and see we’ve made some significant gains in Ottawa-Vanier.”

The Nepean-resident said he’s encouraged and looking forward to “have this fun again” in 18 months, but he would have to take a step back and reflect on his campaign before deciding if he’d run again as the PC candidate in Ottawa-Vanier.

“I need to reflect. I’ve got my head up high and I’ve got to reconsider all the options looking forward,” he said.

The byelection was called on Oct. 19.

Des Rosiers was picked as the Liberal candidate on Oct. 15. Former Ontario ombudsman Marin announced he was running as the Progressive Conservative candidate in September and former RCMP executive office Claude Bisson announced he was running as the NDP candidate in August.

During the election, Marin focused on hydro costs, crime and business concerns.

Bisson also campaigned on hydro costs – with both of those challengers to the long-time Liberal hold on the riding both creating websites, encouraging residents to write in about how

those costs were affecting them.

Marin continually called on voters to send a message to Queen’s Park and Wynne’s governing Liberals by choosing him – and voting for the first time in more than 48 years to make Ottawa-Vanier a Conservative riding.

Ottawa-Vanier has historically voted Liberal, and you have to go back to 1971 when the riding was called Ottawa East to find the last time a rival party held the seat. Liberal Meilleur had represented the riding since 2003.

In 2014, Meilleur won with more than 55 per cent of the vote, finishing ahead of her nearest rival by more than 13,000 votes.

Then Progressive Conservative candidate Martin Forget pulled in 22 per cent of the vote,

NDP candidate Hervé Ngamby garnered 13 per cent.

Ottawa-Vanier encompasses the entire former city of Vanier, extends to Nicholas Street and includes Rockcliffe Park, Overbrook and Gloucester. The University of Ottawa is located in the riding, which also has a high number of seniors and new immigrant voters.

Meilleur had previously represented the community as a city councillor, and has spent 23 years in politics in Ottawa-Vanier. Last June 9, she announced she was leaving politics and giving up her seat in the provincial legislature.

Having served Ottawa-Vanier for more than 13 years as an MPP, and before that as the municipal councillor, the 67-yearold said she wanted to spend more time with her family.

Meilleur became a Vanier city councillor in 1991, and in 2003 Meilleur entered provincial politics and has been reelected four times as MPP for Ottawa-Vanier.

What she enjoyed the most over the years was working with people and helping constituents.

She added that it was also the hardest part of being a politician.

“You cannot satisfy every demand,” she said. “That is the most difficult part.”

Even though there remained two years on her term as an MPP, Meilleur said the timing was right for her to leave.

While the Liberals easily held onto Ottawa-Vanier riding, the Conservatives won the other seat up for grabs in a byelection Thursday night, also easily reclaiming the Tory seat of Niagara West—Glanbrook.

New design for Chateau Laurier addition smaller in scale Architect hopes to have a dialogue with public

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/ METROLAND

Residents get a sneak peek at a model of the Chateau Laurier’s proposed addition. Larco Investments Ltd. unveiled a new design following a backlash against the one that was made public in September.

OFF

Architects and planners unveiled the new plans for an addition to the Chateau Laurier on Nov. 17.

The design behind the curtain however was eerily similar to the one that was panned on social media in September.

“There isn’t as much change as I’d expected,” said David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa.

Jeanes, who remained diplomatic during the open house where residents could get a peek at the plans, said he was surprised to see the roof on the modern looking addition stay the same.

“The roof is rather boxy,” he said of the addition, adding the iconic roofline of the existing Chateau Laurier was “critically important.”

The plans appear to disguise and hide the addition rather than showcase it.

The new plan is a scaledback version of the original version that was unveiled previously.

DR. MICHELLE STEENBAKKERS

Peter Clewes, the architect with the project, said the major changes include an eight per cent reduction of the massing, height and floor plates.

In addition, Chateau Laurier owners Larco Investments Ltd., has heard from the NCC that they’d like to see the roof of the Chateau lit to highlight the roofline at night. Several roofs in the parliamentary precinct will be lit.

Clewes said the addition wouldn’t be lit, so as not to detract from the view.

The building materials will be limestone, bronze and copper, which Jeanes said is hard to see in a model.

“The materials are quite grand,” he said.

Jeanes didn’t appear to agree with Clewes statement that the addition be significantly different from the heritage aspects of the site. He pointed to the addition at the Lord Elgin, which uses different window sizes and stone, but is more in character with the original building.

“We want to be deferential to the historical architecture and have regard for it, not compete with it,” Clewes said.

Aside from the bricks and mortar, there will be a return to nature.

STAY WARM AND SAVE ON HOME ENERGY THIS WINTER As we head into the winter months, you may notice one thing: an increase in your energy bill. The reduced amount of daylight drives us to turn on our lights sooner, while the cooler temperatures cause us to crank up the heat inside.

The winter and summer months tend to be the most energy-intensive times of the year, as we try to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, despite what the thermometer says.

8 Tips to Save Money and Stay Warm this Winter!

1 Set the thermostat to 20° C (68°F) when you’re home.

6 Insulate. Up to 25% of heat is lost through the small cracks and holes around the house.2 Properly insulating Studies show you use 3-5% more energy for each degree your walls, floors and attic can save you up to 10% on the thermostat is set above this number.1 Instead of your total energy costs. increasing the heat, put on a sweater to stay warm.

2 When you leave the house, lower the thermostat.

5 Close the damper of your fireplace when you’re not using it. Being mindful of this small action can keep your house noticeably warmer. Space heating is the largest energy expense in a home, accounting for 63% of energy bills.

The two additions may feature green roofs, said Derek Lee, who’s in charge of landscaping for the project.

He said the plan is to reintroduce the hotel to Major’s Hill Park.

That would be done by taking down the existing parking lot, which was built between the 1960s and 1980s.

A new parking lot would be five storeys and underground.

“It will be a tough job because it’s all bedrock down there,” Clewes said.

But the work will be worth it, when staff can once again open the curtains in the iconic ballroom. Right now the only view out the window is that of a concrete slab.

Lee said that part of the return to nature will be a small, French-style kitchen courtyard and an “urban room” on MacKenzie Avenue with landscaping and a “water feature” to high-

light surrounding natural elements – such as the mature line of trees surrounding the park.

There could also be another interesting feature in the north part of the courtyard, near the garden.

“One of the ideas is some kind of beekeeping,” Lee said.

Art Phillips, the director of development for Larco Investments Ltd., said the proponents hope to put in a formal application to the city before the end of the year.

Coins had a ‘Come easy, go easy’ fate for this special treat

T

he winter Eaton’s catalogue had arrived. The mailman left it in our mailbox. It was fat and shiny with a woman wearing a bright red coat on the cover. It was sitting on the kitchen table when I got home from school.

I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up and the red and white checked oilcloth wiped clean. My sister Audrey knew what was ahead and though she wasn’t nearly excited as I was, she too, would be pouring over each page, from the fashions in the front, to the corsets, the Christmas decorations and candy and the tools and farm items at the back. The old catalogue, dog-eared, with pages torn out where necessary, would be moved to the outhouse after Father had punched a hole in the upper corner to feed through a piece of strong binder twine to hang it from the spike inside the door.

MARY COOK

3248 Drummond Conc 2, Perth

Memories Mother would look through the new catalogue when she had time, and order the usual long underwear and a pair of navy blue fleece lined bloomers for me. We had little hope of getting anything else from Eaton’s catalogue. Until that night.

As soon as Audrey and I sat on the long bench behind the kitchen table, and the book was in front of us, I turned right towards the back and the pails upon pails of Christmas candy.

This was one of my favourite

sections and I could almost taste the striped hard candy and the chocolates that had been strewed over the entire page, looking like they had been accidentally spilled from the cans holding them.

“Enough of that page,” Audrey said. She was ready to move on. I shoved the book over to Mother sitting at the end of the table working on her diaries.

Christmas treat arrived by post Continued from page 61

“If I took all the pennies out of the corner of my hanky, do you think we could take some out of the egg-money to add to them and maybe buy one of those little pails of candy?”

I figured it was worth a try.

Mother looked at the page, ran the tips of her fingers over the candy pictures and in the lowest of voices said, “I don’t see why not.” Well!!

Father shook his head, my three brothers, let war hoops out of them that could be heard in Arnprior, Audrey was pouring over the page to see what pail to pick and I

thought I was going to cry!

It seemed like only a few days before the candy arrived on a Saturday, C.O.D., Mother paying the mailman with a handful of coins and the fight was on to see who would open the parcel.

Mother settled that by opening it herself. And there it was, a shiny pail of Christmas candy and the holiday weeks away!

The excitement wasn’t to end there. Just before we were to head upstairs to bed, Mother said she could see nothing wrong with opening the pail and giving each of us just one to taste! Well, having a piece of the Christ-

mas candy every night before we went to bed became a ritual and it wasn’t long until we could see the bottom of the pail. We knew there wasn’t a hope of getting another order of candy from Eaton’s catalogue.

And then the pail was empty. All that remained was a dusting of sugar in the bottom, which Emerson scooped up by licking the end of his finger and running it around the inside bottom of the pail. Audrey said the pail would be good for picking raspberries the next summer.

We were all sitting around the kitchen table as usual

when the last candy was eaten with Christmas more than a month away.

The pail sat empty in the middle of the table. Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, but we all heard him say, “Come easy, go easy.” We knew he wasn’t talking about the candy, but the coins taken out of the egg money to pay for it.

Red Trillium Studio Tour Extra Money! combines adventure and art Earn Keep Your Weekends Free!

BY KELLY MCCARTHY

kmccarthy@metroland.com

How do you combine adventure and art? With a self-guided studio tour through the rural landscape of West Carleton.

The 35th annual Red Trillium Studio Tour encompasses 30 local artists and nine locations across West Carleton, making it the perfect sample of everything the ward has to offer for both scenery and art. It takes place on Saturday, Nov. 26 and Sunday, Nov, 27 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

“We’re very fortunate in West Carleton,” said Catherine Nutt, the event’s organizer.

“We have a lot to offer in the way of art.”

Over the last 20 years, the Red Trillium Studio Tour has grown to include some of the area’s most talented artists.

With two annual tours – one in the winter and one in the spring – the event is the perfect way to showcase what the ward has to offer.

This year’s winter show in-

cludes 30 artists, including jewelers, painters, potters, photographers, wood workers and textile artists. The artists are grouped together at nine locations spread throughout the ward, with a variety of mediums at each stop.

New to the tour this year is Wendy Alguire, a fibre artist who makes designer pillows.

She’s featured on the tour’s first stop at 109 Terraview Dr. in Kinburn, as well as five other artists (including Nutt herself.)

The tour also highlights the Good Day Workshop (located at studio three at 2240 Craig Side Rd. in Carp), which features woodworking made by people from the Shepherds of Good Hope.

Artists featured on the tour are juried in, Nutt said, and the work has to pass quality standards in order to be featured.

All or most of the artists participating in the tour will have some of their pieces for sale during the tour, which Nutt said make for excellent Christmas gifts.

The whole tour takes a full day to complete, but Nutt said tour participants are free to pick and choose between the 10 studios and visit the ones of their choosing in any order.

Since the tour is self-guided, with the help of the Red Trillium Studio Tour brochure, Nutt said it is easily customizable.

“The idea is to take a day or an afternoon and visit the studios that are of interest to you,” she said.

For those in it for the long haul, there is food like sandwiches and soup available at St. Mary’s Church.

There is no cost to participate in the Red Trillium Studio Tour. The free brochure can be found at several local stores or can be downloaded from the tour’s website at redtrilliumst. com. The brochure features a map and a list of participating artists.

“The tour is a great way to see the sights and the art of the area,” Nutt said, “and there’s certainly a wide variety to see.”

The people are the ‘key’ at Queensway Carleton Hospital Denis Binette first came to Queensway Carleton Hospital as a student, completing part of his clinical rotation for the Respiratory Therapy Program at Algonquin College. He liked the hospital so much, he never left. Eighteen years later, Denis is now the Manager of Diagnostic Imaging, a position he was promoted to earlier this year. “When I came to the Queensway, it was just a really good fit for me. I liked the people, I liked the hospital, I liked what we were doing. This was the place to be.”

It’s those people that Denis has met over the years that he really loves working with. “It’s a great atmosphere, a great environment, and even though we grow every single year, there are still a lot of faces that you know in the hallways. That’s the key to this place: the people.”

Denis spent about ten years doing shift work as a Respiratory Therapist, before being promoted to Senior RT. “Doors just opened after that. I think when you show some initiative, and you feel like you’re part of something bigger, those things help with your progression at the hospital. I’ve been Manger of Cardiopulmonary Services for the last two and a half years, and now this opportunity to be the Manager of Diagnostic Imag-

Denis Binette stands by the CT scanner in the Diagnostic Imaging department. ing came up. It’s perfect.”

What was memorable to Denis is not a specific moment, but an overall feeling he has about the hospital itself. “One of my favorite aspects of any job I’ve had here is the chance to show this place off,” Denis starts.

“We’ve seen an incredible amount of growth over the years, and the one thing that always resonates whenever I’m showing students, staff or

patients around is how proud I am to be a part of it. Diagnostic Imaging, Cardiopulmonary and Respiratory Therapy have all benefited from expanded facilities and technology.”

Within the last decade the Diagnostic Imaging department has benefitted from a new MRI machine, which was brought in through the roof in 2004. “When I look back at the space each of these groups had to work

with ‘back in the day’ it seems a distant memory to recall just how little space we had.”

Denis believes that this hospital stands true to its mission statement to be the hospital of choice. “I think that in itself says so much because this really is the place that you want to be in. We’re open and accepting, and we’re trailblazers in many fields.

This is absolutely the hospital of choice to work at.”

His time at QCH has taught him countless lessons, many of which are really important to him. “Standing up for what you believe in, having integrity, doing what you say you’re going to do. We’re accountable to each other to be able to do something

when you say you are. That’s really important, to be there, be present and be able to help out.”

When he began as an RT, Denis formed relationships all over the hospital very quickly, from the ICU to Emergency, because he had to be so many places as part of his job. “In every aspect of this organization, you touch other people’s lives every day. So I think it’s the people around here that make that difference.”

Choosing one word to describe Queensway Carleton Hospital was easy. “It’s family,” Denis states, explaining the word he chose. “I really think that we are. We work closely with each other, and we rely on each other.” Denis has certainly noticed this with the people he’s worked with over the years as he’s gotten to know them, both professionally and personally. “Being able to go to them, be it professionally or at other moments, and have that relationship already established, is important when working as a team.”

His eighteen years at Queensway Carleton Hospital have been a great big piece of his life. “It’s been incredibly rewarding professionally. From a personal point of view, I’ve had my child here. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

Students become scientists at Stonecrest Elementary School

BY KELLY MCCARTHY kmccarthy@metroland.com

“This is the coolest day ever!”

Such were the cries of students in Mallory Wilson’s Grade 6 class at Stonecrest Elementary School on Thursday, Oct. 20 as they participated in a Scientists in School program – a program that had them studying, poking and prodding once-alive specimens of creatures like turtles, snakes and even squids.

Following the directions of real-life scientist Dr. Irene Luinenburg, students had the opportunity to learn about the diversity of life on Earth and get hands-on experience in the classifying and studying of various creatures. Luinenburg has been working with the Scientists in School initiative for the last 11 years, leading classes through seminars in both biology and physics.

Scientists in School is a Canadian charity committed to bringing real-world science into the classrooms of children between kindergarten and Grade 8, allowing them to become “scientists in school.”

They offer a variety of programs, most running about a half-day in length, that aim to engage and inspire students to get excited about learning.

“Kids are like sponges,” Luinenburg said. “If you feed them when they’re young they are almost guaranteed to develop an interest in science.”

Wilson won the opportunity to have Scientists in School visit her class, granting her students a free pass to a program that usually runs around $190 per classroom. The experience was eye opening for Wilson, who said she was proud of how her students reacted to the presentation.

After a brief introduction to the classifying system scientists use to identify the various flora and fauna on Earth (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) the students were divided into three groups and sent to their stations to begin their work as scientists.

PROTISTA

Each student had a turn at each of the three stations and had the opportunity to study Protista (single-celled organisms) and both vertebrates and invertebrates from the Animalia kingdom. They were tasked with classifying each specimen before the real fun began: examining the specimens.

Luinenburg brought with her dozens of real specimens for students to examine. The creatures are preserved in a non-toxic liquid (Luinenburg said they no longer use formaldehyde), but are brought out of preservation for the lesson. Students got to touch – with gloves – and examine under a magnifying glass creatures like a painted turtle,

a sparrow, a starfish and even a squid.

Luinenburg also brought in bona fide microscopes for students to examine live single-celled organisms under a lens – something not many students get to do.

“This hands on approach is a good way to engage children’s enthusiasm,” she said.

The students had enthusiasm is spades. Wilson said she was especially proud of how seriously her students took the opportunity and also of their curiosity. Each student showed a genuine interest in learning about the specimens, embracing the opportunity to study them up close.

Wilson said that the hands on approach from Scientists in School made it easy for each of her students, no matter their learning ability or style, to have fun learning.

“I hope that they continued to be excited about science,” Wilson said. “This has really lit a fire under some of them and is engaging some of them who haven’t been engaged yet. It’s important for kids to experience all kinds of learning.”

In December, students will again have the opportunity to experience a Scientists in School program – this time about electricity.

“This was such a fantastic opportunity,” Wilson said.

“I’m so pleased with all of the learning that happened in this room.”

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, November 24, 2016 73

Federal government boosts investments in clean electricity On Nov. 21, the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, announced an important part of the vision for a clean-growth economy: the acceleration of the transition from traditional coal power to clean energy by 2030. Traditional coal-fired electricity does not use carbon capture and storage to trap carbon dioxide and store it.

The accelerating phase-out of coal power will significantly improve the air quality and the health of Canadians. These actions will reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than five megatonnes, in 2030. This reduction is the equivalent of taking 1.3 million cars off the road.

The Government of Canada will support this transition by using the Canada Infrastructure Bank to finance projects such as commercially viable clean energy and modern electricity systems between provinces and territories. Canada

will attract global investments that grow the economy and create good middle-class jobs by providing investor certainty and a clear signal to the market that Canada is a leader in clean energy.

The regulatory actions announced today will put Canada on a path to move from 80 percent towards 90 percent non-emitting sources by 2030.

Clean electricity will power cars, businesses, and homes across the country. By building a smart, integrated, clean-electricity system, we will deliver reliable and affordable power where it is needed.

The Government of Canada is committed to working closely with provinces and territories to attract the investments necessary to build a modern, integrated, clean-power system that results in local solutions for ratepayers, workers, and the environment. We will also work with provinces and territories to set performance standards for natural gas-fired

electricity.

The Government of Canada will work with provinces and labour organizations to ensure workers affected by the accelerated phase-out of traditional coal power are involved in a successful transition to the low-carbon economy of the future.

By investing in clean energy now, Canadians will have better air to breathe, improved health, and a more sustainable and prosperous economy for our children and grandchildren.

“Taking traditional coal power out of our energy mix and replacing it with cleaner technologies will significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health of Canadians, and benefit generations for years to come.

It sends a clear signal to the world that Canada is a great place to invest in clean energy,” said Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change

QUICK FACTS

• Coal-fired electricity is responsible for close to three quarters of the GHG emissions from Canada’s electricity sector and over 8 percent of Canada’s total GHG emissions.

• Accelerating the phase-out of traditional coal units that do not use carbon capture and storage will result in more than five megatonnes of reductions in GHG emissions, in 2030.

• Coal units are among the largest sources of air pollution in the country, including sulphur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, and mercury pollutants, which cause significant health and environmental impacts.

• Health studies completed by the Pembina Institute estimate that, in 2014, pollution from coal power resulted in more than 20,000 asthma episodes and hundreds of emergency room visits and hospitalizations, costing the healthcare system over $800

million annually.

• Clean, non-emitting energy is one of the fastest growing energy sectors, with wind capacity increased 20 times and solar capacity increased 125 times, in the past decade, according to the National Energy Board. Canada has some of the most abundant and affordable sources of hydro, wind, and solar power.

• This fall, the Government of Canada announced an additional $21.9 billion over 11 years for green infrastructure and the Canada Infrastructure Bank. Together, this investment could support the attraction of the capital investments necessary to transition Canada’s electricity system towards 90 percent non-emitting by 2030.

• Canada’s commitment to invest in green infrastructure could also support remote Indigenous communities that are reliant on diesel generation, to increase the use of clean, nonemitting energy. More details

on the green-infrastructure funding are forthcoming.

• Provincial equivalency arrangements may also be established to support the transition from coal towards cleaner non-emitting sources of electricity.

Holiday Give calls for donors Canadian Blood Services recruitment teams hit the streets today in locations across the country to launch Canadian Blood Services’ holiday Give campaign. Volunteers and blood recipients joined staff in select cities to let potential donors know the best gift they can give this holiday season is blood.

Surveys have shown the top reason people do not donate blood is because they have not been asked. Recruitment teams are a way to connect with and encourage people to consider becoming a blood donor.

A total of 100,000 new donors are needed before the end of March 2017 to maintain the

national blood supply and meet the needs of Canadian patients who require blood transfusions.

So far, since April, 45,000 new donors have come forward while another 55,000 are still needed in the next five months.

There is an even greater need for new donors this season because of new iron eligibility guidelines introduced recently to promote the health and wellness of blood donors. As a result, some donors won’t be able to donate as frequently. Canadian Blood Services has also introduced new technology in blood clinics to make giving life easier for donors.

“There’s a lot to cheer about

at Canadian Blood Services this holiday season,” says Mark Donnison, vice president of donor relations. “The move towards a digital environment is resulting in a better overall experience for donors. It also supports Canadian Blood Services’ commitment to innovating. As we work to bring new donors in to compensate for changes in eligibility, the digital experience is a great asset.”

Canadian Blood Services is counting on eligible Canadians to start a new tradition this holiday season and book a first appointment to donate blood by downloading the GiveBlood app or visiting blood.ca.
