Reinstate long-form census: city council Baird calls survey complaints ‘political mischief making’ BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD The City of Ottawa’s taxpayers will be on the hook to pay for statistics research as a result of changes to the federal census, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

The federal government recently announced it will scrap the mandatory long-form census, replacing it with a shorter voluntary one.

But municipalities can’t rely on the statistics provided in a voluntary census, said Wilkinson, forcing them to research information normally provided by Statistics Canada.

“It’s going to cost us money to do research we (now) get from the census,” said Wilkinson.

Ottawa city council passed a motion earlier this month asking the federal government to reconsider its decision.

Municipalities can’t depend on statistical information provided on a voluntary basis, said Wilkinson.

“Who’s going to fill it out?” asked Wilkinson.

“There’s no way to ensure it’s valid.”

Wilkinson said certain statistical groups, such as new Canadians, will be under represented or ignored in the new census.

“You would not have valid data you could use,” said Wilkinson.

“This is political interference in something that should be absolutely arms length from government.”

Canadian municipalities depend on the census data to apply for federal and provincial funding, said Wilkinson.

Cities will have to spend money to collect data missing from the new census, she said.

“It’s research that’s used all the time by the planning department,” said Kanata South Coun. Peggy Feltmate.

“Every municipality uses its information.”

INTRUSIVE Transport Minister John Baird said suggesting the City of Ottawa will have to create their own statistics department to gather census information is “a tad alarmist.”

“If this is such a huge issue for the city I can’t believe the mayor hasn’t called me,” said Baird. “I think there’s a bit of political mischief making here.”

He declined to elaborate on the comment.

Baird said he met with several councillors and the mayor this week during several different public functions and none of them mentioned the city’s problems with changes to the census.

“Which surprises me,” said Baird. “If this is such a huge issue, no one picked up the phone and called me.”

“We believe the changes will harm the integrity and quality of the Canadian statistical system,” said Ian McKinnon, chair of the National Statistics Council, a government-appointed group that advises Statistics Canada, in a statement issued this week. “At the same time, the council recognizes that concerns about intrusiveness and confidentiality should be addressed.”

The statistics council said the voluntary census will compromise the value of statistical information provided to municipal governments, businesses and social agencies, which is used to plan private and public budgets.

Last week Muni Sheikh, the head of Statistics Canada, resigned from the national statistics agency in protest over the decision.

KOURIER-STANDARD STAFF One person is in hospital after a rollover on Friday, July 23 on Hwy. 417 in Kanata.

The car went off the westbound side of the road between Terry Fox and Palladium drives at around 7:40 a.m. and rolled over several times before landing on its wheels.

The driver, the only occupant of the vehicle, was sent to hos-

pital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Two off-duty nurses stopped at the scene of the accident and cared for the driver until paramedics arrived.

It took firefighters 20 minutes to free the driver from the car.

Meanwhile, paramedics treated the driver and later took the patient to hospital.

Police closed the highway down for several hours to start an investigation of the crash.

Bridlewood family collects bottles for third-annual charity CHEO fundraiser BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD A Bridlewood family can’t bottle their enthusiasm for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

But they hope to collect a few empty beer, spirit and wine bottles next week and turn them into cash to donate to the children’s hospital.

The Crepeault family will hold their third-annual bottle drive in Bridlewood on

Saturday, Aug. 7, as well as a charity bake sale.

“We have six children and they all had to go there at least once in their lifetime,” said mother Wendy Crepeault.

“CHEO is such an amazing place – we’ve had wonderful experiences with (the) doctors and nurses.”

Two of the children had pneumonia, one broke a leg and the youngest, Lily, 4, went to CHEO because of eye problems.

The oldest boy, Jacob, 14, has been in and out of the hospital for most of his life, suffering a variety of ailments.

“When I was younger I had to go to CHEO with viral arthritis,” said Jacob. “I’ve been there so much it’s like a second home to us so we decided to raise some money for CHEO.” Jacob still visits the hospital following a recent surgery on one leg.

Casts were placed on both the boy’s legs

because he couldn’t keep his feet flat on the ground following the procedure.

The first year of the bottle drive, the Crepeaults raised $200, upping that total to $300 during the second annual event.

“We’re hoping to raise more this year,” said Jacob.

BOTTLE DRIVE The bottle drive will start at 8 a.m., with Wendy’s husband Kevin and most of the children touring the neighbourhood in a van.

Meanwhile, Wendy will hold a bake sale on the front yard of the family’s home.

“We just started a couple of years ago and it seems like it’s something we’re going to be doing every year,” said Wendy.

“It’s been amazing,” she said. “It’s just our family and one van.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER

What will they think of next?

Columnist misses mark

Somebody should nudge Stephen Harper and tell him he’s naked.

It might make him recall the children’s story by Hans Christian Anderson: The Emperor’s New Clothes — the tale of a king who despite all evidence to the contrary believes he is wearing a beautiful suit, when in fact he is naked.

We see a parallel with the whole census mess.

Yes Prime Minister, a mess.

The Tories have introduced changes to how the long-form census information is collected despite the advice of a legion of statisticians, researchers, and bureaucrats who insist the changes will destroy the value of the survey as a demographic tool.

The head of Statistics Canada quit over the decision to scrap the long-form census and replace it with a voluntary version.

The advisory board to StatsCan — appointed by the government — is telling the government the changes they want to introduce will ruin the survey.

City of Ottawa staff — echoing the concerns of municipal bureaucrats nationwide in all probability — say the national household survey is a valuable statistical tool for the city, used to apply for federal and provincial grants and in figuring out the proper use of public funds.

Ottawa’s city council is now considering the awful prospect of collecting the information — once conveniently supplied by the census — itself.

A large and very expensive undertaking.

Guess who will pay for it?

You. Tory MP Pierre Poilievre said the census changes won’t cost municipal governments a dime.

That statement is only true if cities accept the fact they cannot afford to collect the data on their own, and agree to use what they view as flawed and unreliable information from the federal government’s new and improved census.

But we must make these changes to the census, say the Tories.

Because the mandatory census threatened jail time.

A red herring if we ever saw one.

Eliminate the threat of jail time and move ahead with the existing census Mr. Harper.

And for goodness sake put some clothes on.

Re: Does Harper want to know less about Canadians? opinion, July 22, Kourier-Standard.

Maybe your columnist was trying to be funny when he said that people who feel the long form census is too intrusive should “pack up the canned food and the guns and go live in a cave.”

Unfortunately his sense of humour falls short. There are Canadians who are not right wing reactionaries, who have privacy concerns about the long form census.

We do not appreciate being required by law to answer whatever questions government bureaucrats are curious about. I have no doubt that someone, somewhere, finds my personal information useful, but that doesn’t mean that I should be required to divulge it.

Sorry your columnist missed the mark.

OPINION

By request: set public information free Some government institutions are becoming more open about sharing information with the public.

For example, Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment recently posted all recent air, sewage and waste certificates of approval and renewable energy approvals online.

However, governments often resist releasing information. Freedom of Information (FOI) laws provide individuals with a way to access information that governments control. Although the FOI request process may be cumbersome and time-consuming, it is worthwhile to persevere, as it may yield a wealth of information.

Canada’s Access to Information Act applies to federal government institutions, and each province has its own FOI law, which operate in a similar manner.

the government institution that likely has the records of interest.

Include as much detail as possible about the records being sought to ensure the scope of the request is clear. Where more than one institution may have relevant information, it is wise to file FOI requests with each of these.

Generally, the institution must respond to the FOI request within 30 days, although this period may be extended.

If the request is denied, written reasons must be provided, but these usually do not include a detailed explanation. It is important to follow up with the government institution for additional details.

If the request is accepted, the government will provide an estimate of the fee to cover costs associated with locating, retrieving and copying the records. This can be high, for example if a lot of time is needed to review the documents or if hundreds of pages are involved.

THE FOI REQUEST PROCESS To make an FOI request, send a written request along with an application fee to

ruled the Charter guarantee of freedom of expression does not extend to access to all information held by the government.

Access to such documents is constitutionally protected only where necessary to permit meaningful discussion on matters of public importance, where access does not encroach on protected privileges.

The SCC decision is important because it recognizes a limited Charter right to access government information. This strengthens the FOI process, and reminds us of its complexity.

This year the Crepeaults will advertise the bottle drive a little earlier to give their neighbours the option to either bring their donations to them earlier or drop off the bottles themselves at the beer store and just donate the money instead.

Kevin and Jacob said they will dye their hair electric blue if the family collects $1,000 this year.

“We are hoping to find a hair salon to help support this if we reach our goal,” said Wendy.

Anyone who wants to donate bottles can drop them off at 20 Redstone Lane in Bridlewood the week of Aug. 1 to 8. blair.edwards@metroland.com

‘PROPAGANDA’ Muirhead said it’s not right to send out this kind of information on the taxpayers’ dime.

“Marianne can play by her rules,” he said. “If and when I’m elected I’ll seek to change those rules and not spend money from taxpayers to oust another candidate during an election.

What’s really interesting about her flyer is it’s in her campaign colours as well. I just don’t think people in Kanata north are fooled by this propaganda.”

Wilkinson said she’s just doing her job, and part of that is to keep residents informed.

“He (Muirhead) doesn’t think councillors should communicate information to their ward,” said Wilkinson. “The public still has to know what’s happening in the city.

None of it is going to have anything to do with the election.”

She said she will not be putting out any more flyers before the election in October.

TOPICS COVERED Matt Muirhead, whose running Time Management, Test Taking Strategies, for councillor of Kanata North, said Note Taking, Online and Library Research there was, “not a doubt in my mind,” Techniques, Improved Memory Strategies, that the flyer was released due to his Essay Development bid for the council seat.

“Interestingly as well, it is out of date,” he said. “Only days after I an- Dates: Monday, August 9 to Thursday, nounced my candidacy.”

August 19 (no class Friday August 13) The flyer featured information Times: 1:30pm – 3:30pm about the upcoming Canada Day Fee: $395.00 in Kanata celebration and vote for Lansdowne Park – well after both oxfordlearning.com events occurred.

‘INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC’ Wilkinson said she runs these types of flyers periodically to let her community know what is happening – along with her monthly newsletters and councilor columns that appear in the community paper.

She also said this one was delayed at the printers.

“Its just information for the public,” she said. “(It had) nothing to do with the election. It was written to be out before the end of June, but for some reason it got delayed. It was out of my hands.”

Kanata Kourier-Standard - JULY 29, 2010

Sailing into the unknown Kourier-Standard reporter learns the ins and outs JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD The boat was tipping, the water rising up to meet us.

As the Albacore continued its decent toward the waves, I ducked under the boom and landed in the river with a splash.

The sail came down, filling with water as the boat continued to overturn. I swam to the back, grabbed the centreboard and hauled my weight up onto the slippery piece of wood. With help from my skipper, Mike Thompson, we managed to right the sailboat after a considerable length of time and hop back in.

This was all part of a training exercise offered by the Kanata Sailing Club (KSC) during their open house on Saturday, July 24.

KSC has been operating for 35 years on the Ottawa River in Dunrobin. The club is a non-profit cooperative, which promotes low-cost sailing for both experiences and new sailors.

ALBACORE ADVENTURE Thompson took me out in an Albacore, a two-person dinghy used for teaching, leisure and racing.

The Albacore is a 4.57 metre fiberglass sailboat.

Teaching is very important, said Thompson, so in the event that something goes wrong, such as capsizing, sailors know what to do without panicking.

In the Albacore, my job was at the front of the boat.

I had to keep the lines of the jib (the little sail in front of the big sail) taught or slack depending on the wind direction and speed.

The rope was difficult to keep from slipping through my hands, and I found my knuckles white from the strain of keeping hold.

Thompson had to keep reminding me to hold on tighter as I consistently let the rope relax.

Next time I’ll bring gloves to help give me better grip.

My attention, however, was focused mainly on the boom, the large beam running down the centre of the boat that holds the mainsail. It looks a lot heavier than it is; it’s actually fairly light, being hollow and made of aluminum.

As the wind shifts direction, the boom is apt to swing around with little warning, said Thompson. Even though it’s light, the boom can deliver quite a good rap to the head of an inattentive sailor.

It becomes second nature to keep your head down and body low, said Thompson; your body will react involuntarily to keep from getting hit.

And it was true.

As nervous as I was about the boom in the beginning, by the end I paid it no mind and managed to exit the boat without being smacked once.

BALANCED BOAT I learned how to tack – to switch sides while changing the course of the dinghy.

Thompson called out “Ready to tack?”

BLAIR EDWARDS PHOTO

Reporter Jessica Cunha, left and skipper Mike Thompson work at getting the capsized boat right side up as part of a training drill.

I replied with a “Ready!” after positioning myself in such a way that I could spring to the opposite side while avoiding the boom as it swung overhead.

As he gave the command, I hopped over the middle of the boat, while simultaneously ducking and executing a half spin to avoid the boom and get ready to grab the opposite jib line.

Everything in the boat is opposite, much like our brains; the left side rope controls to the right and vice versa.

I had to release the jib sail rope I was holding and take up the line from the side across from me in order to catch the wind the direct the boat.

Every time I did this – and it was quite a few, Thompson really made me practice – I managed to tangle the rope in my legs.

The entire experience was a real exercise in hand-eye-body coordination – of which I have very little sometimes.

Thompson also taught me how to keep the boat balanced as it pitches and leans.

As the Albacore picks up speed, the boat leans into the water at around a 45 degree angle. When this happened, Thompson and I had to balance ourselves on the edge of the side of the boat furthest from the water, hook our feet under a strap by the floorboard and lean our bodies out over the river as far as we could go.

I leaned down towards the water, hoping my feet wouldn’t slip out of the strap, trying to keep a tight hold on the line for the jib sail, and feeling my abdominal muscles working overtime.

It’s a better workout than crunches, one I felt the next day.

This maneuver keeps the boat from actually capsizing.

Although we almost got to experience an uncontrolled cap-

size as winds from every direction buffeted the Albacore at one point. We managed to keep it upright though.

SAILING CLUB A COOL HANG OUT The KSC is “like your grandfather’s cottage that he’s left to all of his kids,” said Thompson.

Everyone pitches in with membership fees and helps to maintain the equipment and the grounds, he said.

Located on the Ottawa River at the intersection of Riddell Drive and Sixth Line Road, the KSC sits on a prime piece of property.

It’s more of a cottage getaway than a yacht club, but that’s part of its charm, said Thompson.

A person doesn’t need to own a boat in order to join; the club has a number of vessels available including: nine Albacores; six Hobies, which are two-person, high-performance catamarans; six Lasers, which are one-person leisure and racing monohulls; two Bytes, which are one-person, small leisure and racing crafts; and one Tasar, a two-person, high-performance leisure and racing mono-hull.

In order to use the club boats, members must complete basic training. For experienced sailors new to the club a one time evaluation session is required.

Basic training for new sailors costs $300 for an eight-week course.

Membership fees run from $75 to $410 depending on the type required.

For more information about the KSC visit www.kanatasailingclub.com. jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Changes coming to pleasure craft license test in September JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD Transport Canada will introduce changes to the testing for recreational boating licenses in September – an additional 14 questions for a total of 50 multiple choice.

There is no in-boat exam, no practical experience necessary.

“That’s not something we’re looking at, at this time,” said John Baird, MP for Ottawa West-Nepean and minister of transport about the practical side of operating a boat.

The focus right now is educating pleasure craft operators on the dangers of drinking and driving.

“We want to take responsible steps to ensure safety on the waterways,” he

said.

Once a person is licensed, he or she is certified until the age of 80, with no retest required.

Thompson said he thinks practical experience should be necessary in order to license someone to operate a boat.

It’s possible to read about what to do in emergency situations and choose the right answer on a piece of paper – but

until it’s actively played out, a person’s reaction is just hypothetical.

“I think we can all recognize that we can read,” Advantage Boating instructor John Morrow said to his class at the Nepean Sailing Club before hitting the water, “but you have to get out there and perform the maneuvers.”

Final Notification

Class Environmental Assessment Terry Fox Municipal Transformer Station Hydro Ottawa has completed the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed construction and operation of a new municipal transformer station in Ottawa West to address growing electricity demand.

Environmental, technical and economic criteria were applied to four potential station sites in the study area. Site ‘‘4’’ located at 300/330 Michael Cowpland Drive, was selected as the preferred site, as it has the most advantages and least disadvantages.

The station will consist of two transformers and associated equipment to step down electricity from the adjacent 230 kV transmission lines to 27.6 kV so that it can be distributed to homes and businesses. The new facilities are expected to be in service in the fall of 2012. The proposed station elements include two power transformers, a building to house high voltage switchgear and outdoor switchyard structures.

My story, unfortunately, is not unique. My wife Teresa has been battling MS for 25 years now. For the last 4 ½ years she has been wheelchair bound. Over 50,000 people in Canada have been diagnosed with MS. Research indicates that it costs $1,000,000 per family to care for someone with MS. Great strides are being made but it’s still not known why people become afflicted with the disease & we still need your help. All money raised stays in Ottawa to support patients & their families cope with the financial burdens created by this illness.

Hydro Ottawa Limited, 3025 Albion Road North Tel.: 613-738-6400

If questions or comments on the project cannot be resolved by Hydro Ottawa during the 30 day review period the concerned stakeholder(s) may make a written request to the Minister of Environment to “bump-up” the project to an Individual EA as outlined in Part II of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Written requests must be received by the Minister at 135 St. Clair Avenue West, 12th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M4V 1P5 no later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday September 1, 2010. A copy of the request must also be sent to Hydro Ottawa at the address noted above.

This Notice of Completion is issued on July 30, 2010.

Escape to the past at Pinhey’s Here in the 21st century, things are pretty easy – nearly anything you could ever want is available in stores. But in the early 1900s, things weren’t so simple.

We can rediscover our skilled roots on Sunday, Aug. 1 at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site during the Heritage Trades Festival.

Visitors can glimpse trades such as blacksmithing, carpentry, tinsmithing and lacemaking.

“Having something like this is important, because we’re able to look back in time and really see how far we’ve come,” said Ashley Moores, education and interpretation officer for Pinhey’s Point.

Robert Vaughan, the resident blacksmith at Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, will be bringing his tools

and portable forge that he made himself to show off his iron-clad skills.

“I don’t think the trade has really faded away at all,” said Vaughan, who has been blacksmithing for 22 years.

“What has disappeared though is the small village blacksmith shop – people don’t really have a local blacksmith anymore.”

There will also be a Victorian Medical Show, where retired nurse Nancy MacLeod will treat visitors to an eyeopening performance about the medical arts from the 1860s and show off some shocking medical equipment.

Heritage Trades will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, located at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. in Dunrobin. Admission is $6 per person, $10 per pair or $15 per family.

Duo cycle across Canada “If you tell as many people as you can, you can’t back out.”

Ramsay and Ruthishauser, who both teach culinary classes at Algonquin College, were part of the same running club, and after much persuasion, Ramsay was able to talk his friend into joining him on the trek.

“I wanted to do a long trip,” said Ramsay.

“I just wanted to see Canada.”

The two set off from Ottawa for their journey on June 21 with Mike Fraser, who drove out and followed the bikers back. They complete their first day of cycling on June 24.

JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD It took 29 days and close to 4,000 kilometres, but Mario Ramsay and Chris Ruthishauser completed their bike ride from Jasper, Alta. to Kanata.

The duo celebrated their return with family and friends on Thursday, July 22 after pulling into Ruthishauser’s driveway in Glen Cairn.

The reason for such a long trek: the love of biking.

“I talked about doing a trip like this for four years,” said Ramsay, who lives in Manotick.

“I’d classify them as adventurers and me as an explorer,” said Fraser, a resident of Katimavik. “While they were off riding, I’d go off and explore different areas.”

They traveled through Alberta, Saskatchewan, parts of the United States and Ontario.

“When you dream about it you make it a reality,” said Ramsay.

The biggest constant during the journey was breakfast at Tim Hortons whenever one was available.

Ramsay and Ruthishauser biked between six to seven hours a day and managed 130 to 180 kilometres on average.

“It’s nice, it’s like we just went for a day or two,” said Ramsay about the month-long trip.

They camped outdoors and spent a few nights in motels while on the road. They also blogged consistently about their adventure, their destinations, how many kilometers they covered and the ups and downs along the way.

“We wouldn’t remember everything if we didn’t write it down,” said Ruthishauser, laughing.

During the entire journey they only took one day off on July 11 to watch the FIFA World

Ruthishauser said they got chased by a few storms but were able to out-bike most of them.

“You’re biking for your life,” said Ramsay with a laugh, adding that most people they met were very friendly; one gentleman stopped the cyclists on a highway in Moosejaw, Sask. to warn them about an impending tornado.

“The people in general were amazing,” said Ramsay.

The bikes, which were regular road bicycles, “took a lot of hits,” said Ruthishauser, whose bike suffered six flat tires.

Out of all the areas they travelled, they said Ontario was the worst, both for drivers and roads.

In contrast, the roads in the states had one to three-metre wide shoulder lanes, all paved and smooth, and most drivers gave them a wide berth, said Ramsay.

Asked if they’d ever consider doing something like this again they both agreed they would but not anytime in the near future.

However, they said they were planning on biking to Tim Hortons the next morning for breakfast.

Kanata Council Notes Marianne Wilkinson

Kanata North

Kanata South FIGHTING LANDFILL EXPANSION REQUIRES PUSHING FOR INCREASED WASTE DIVERSION - In the discussion at council over Waste Management’s proposal to allow the Carp Road Landfill to be expanded, the Mayor suggested that after what people living near the landfill have put up with, building the landfill elsewhere would be better than allowing it to continue. After the problems with the landfill over the years, it was an understandable sentiment. Unfortunately, just saying, “build it elsewhere” will make it more likely the expansion will go ahead. Because waste has to go somewhere, we need to address the question of where waste should go to have our input taken seriously by the Ministry of the Environment.

“Good Beer, Good Wine, Good Times”

BEAVER POND LANDS - At the time of writing, no approval has been given by the city to remove trees on the KNL lands north of the Beaver Pond. City staff are requiring that the developer fully meet the conditions relating to trees before any are removed and that has not yet happened.

Check your smoke alarm CITY OF OTTAWA

26TH

Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut your chances of dying in a fire by 50 per cent? In Ontario, having working smoke alarms is not only a good idea -- it’s the law.

Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks.

A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.
