OC Transpo fires berating bus driver City announces dismissal because of ‘high profile case’: transit chair BIA

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

JAMIE’S SONG Former Holy Trinity students write a song in honour of Jamie Hubley.

OC Transpo has fired a bus driver who berated a passenger who describes himself as “mildly autistic.�

The announcement was made in an email to city councillors on Nov. 14, 11 days after the incident occurred and a video was subsequently posted to YouTube.

Michael Tarrano, a 20-year-old Beaverbrook resident and a scriptwriting student at Algonquin College, said he boarded a Route 96 bus at Lincoln Fields Station before the incident happened at around 2 a.m.

The 55-second cell-phone video shows Taronno standing near the driver and the voice of another man yelling at him. “Shut the f..k up!â€? a man’s voice said. “Shut your ignorant f‌ing cake-hole! Don’t say another f‌ing word.â€?

The man then threatened Taronno. “If you don’t shut your f‌ing face I’m going to stick my fist in it!â€?

Gary Queale, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279, Ottawa’s transit union, was not available for immediate comment..

In the email to council, OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier apologized for the “disrespectful� treatment.

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A business improvement area (BIA) is being proposed for the Kanata North Business Park.

A meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 28 where business owners and tenants in the business park will hear about opportunities a BIA could provide.

“This BIA will provide our business community with a vehicle to identify and pursue priority projects and local service improvements,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

Wilkinson and members of the local BIA steering committee will outline how a BIA could serve the business community through closer collaboration, better branding and communication.

“For example, recently the steering committee organized a dialogue between OC Transpo

and members of the business community on transit service to the business park,” said Wilkinson.

BIA membership includes both property owners and tenants.

In a previous interview, Steve Nichols, one of the leaders of the steering committee, said a BIA in the area could help businesses network.

“We see the opportunity for growth,” said Nichols. “It’s not about simply marketing Kanata North, it’s about putting in place an institute that can self-assess and start to respond more effectively. It’s a tool.”

The proposed geographic area of the Kanata north business improvement area will likely include the shopping areas surrounding Morgan’s Grant and the Kanata North Business Park, said Wilkinson.

A BIA will help area businesses create special events to

A meeting will be held to discuss the possibility of creating a Business Improvement Area (BIA) in the Kanata North Business Park. promote the area and create a brand for the region surrounding the Kanata North Business Park, she added.

The City of Ottawa will send letters to business owners and tenants within the proposed

boundary of the BIA, allowing them a chance to write back if they object.

“If a certain percentage says no, then it doesn’t go ahead,” said Wilkinson.

Once a BIA is officially recog-

nized, member businesses are charged a small amount on their property taxes – based on the business’ property tax assessment – which is then given to the business improvement area.

If the Kanata North Business Park BIA is given approval, other areas in Kanata will look to create their own business improvement area, said Wilkinson.

The shopping district surrounding the Kanata Centrum, the Signature Centre and the Canadian Tire could be next, she said.

The Kanata North Business Park BIA meeting will include information on how a BIA is created, what it could do for businesses and offers a chance for people to provide input and pose questions.

The meeting will be held at The Marshes Golf Club, 320 Terry Fox Dr., at 2:30 p.m.

Woman hurt in industrial accident COURTNEY SYMONS Courtney.symons@metroland.com

A woman is in hospital after her knee was crushed between a forklift and a slab of granite in Kanata on Monday, Nov. 14.

The 36-year-old woman was working at a warehouse on Terence Matthews Crescent when the accident occurred around 3 p.m.

Ottawa paramedics spokesperson J.P. Trottier said that a colleague was operating a forklift as the woman stood nearby.

When the forklift driver got out, the vehicle moved and crushed the woman’s

leg against a slab of granite.

“Her knee was severely crushed,” Trottier said. “The bone in her leg was crushed.”

After calling 911, the woman’s colleagues were able to move the forklift, free her knee, and lay her on the ground while they waited for an ambulance.

The woman was conscious when paramedics arrived but had low blood pressure and was rushed to the hospital to treat her non-life threatening injury.

The Ministry of Labour will decide whether any charges will be laid agaomst the forklift driver.

tions related to the dismissal because the union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279, and the driver can appeal the decision.

On Nov. 8, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the city wouldn’t reveal any disciplinary action taken against the driver.

But transit commission chair Diane Deans, the councillor for GloucesterSouthgate, said the city wanted to make the news of the firing public because it was “A very high-profile case.”

“There were a lot of views on YouTube and the public were asking to have some information,” Deans said. “We’re not planning to comment further.”

Mall goes high-tech

Contact: Ottawa@wag

NEVIL HUNT If you are daunted by Christmas crowds at the mall, Bayshore has just added some Christmas elves ready to ease your shopping.

The mall has partnered with a start-up company owned by high-tech mogul Terry Matthews to deliver shopping to your smartphone or other mobile device.

The goal is to provide succinct information for shoppers at the speed of broadband.

“The mobile environment has become a normal part of life,” Matthews said at a glitzy launch party on Nov. 14 inside the mall. “This will make (shopping) very, very quick. We’re simplifying it.”

Shoppers can email e-stylists@bayshoreshoppingcentre.com or visit the EStyle lounge on the mall’s lower level. The staff can help identify products in multiple categories, for children babies or adults, by gender and by price range. The results can then be sent to the shopper’s mobile device or inbox, along with prices and the store locations mapped out. Each gift idea comes with a description and photo.

Matthews’ Kanata-based start-up, Isca Solutions, developed the shopping application, and Matthews hinted that the current version is simply “phase one” in the development.

He said as early as 2012 shoppers will see more features added, including instant checks of store inventory, and more details, such as maps of the interior of each store, complete with the exact shelf where the desired item can be found.

Matthews said “some of the biggest companies on the planet” are interested in seeing the software developed.

“Today is just a sneak preview,” Matthews said. “It’s one per cent of the road map.”

Ottawa police say they cannot substantiate a report of a sexual assault of a four-year-old boy at the Kanata Leisure Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

The father of the boy told police the boy was inappropriately touched by a stranger in the men’s change room at around 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday night.

Police had said they would review videotape taken that night.

The investigation will now pursue other avenues, said a police spokesperson.

“This is really the beginning of a hightech cluster,” he said. “We know there’s a worldwide market.”

Bayshore Shopping Centre can expect to be part of future advances in the application, making the Ottawa area key to Isca’s development program, Matthews said.

Staff at the launch – dressed in black and white outfits reminiscent of 1960s in-flight crews – carried IPads and introduced visitors to the new application.

Pedestrian advocacy needed

H

e’s small, unprotected and takes his life into his hands nearly every time he takes to the streets.

But to read any of the stacks of plans the City of Ottawa has written regarding transportation, that lowly pedestrian is actually king.

You wouldn’t know it by looking at our roads.

Even downtown, where walking is the most common way to get around, the foot-powered among us have to deal with a list of challenges including (but certainly not limited to): unplowed walkways, crumbling sidewalks, sidewalks too narrow for the level of foot traffic they attract, sidewalks cluttered with “street furniture” such as parking metres, cars that park on sidewalks, pedestrian signals that don’t last long enough for your average athlete to make it across the street, aggressive red-light right-turning drivers… and the list goes on.

And who is looking out for these poor pedestrians at city hall? There is a transportation planner charged with putting the city’s pedestrian plan into practice. But that is only part of her job, and in a city of almost a million people, we should have at least three or four dedicated pedestrian planners, accord-

ing to Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes.

The city’s plans are good, but when streets, sidewalks and crosswalks are being designed, those good plans don’t seem to make it into the engineering side of the projects, Holmes said during her summit on pedestrian safety on Nov. 8.

She’s urging pedestrians to take matters into their own hands. Without a cohesive and noisy group of people to advocate for walkers, nothing will change, Holmes said.

Eight pedestrians were killed on Ottawa roads last year alone – a pretty average year for fatalities of our streets’ most vulnerable users. Forty walkers were killed on Ottawa streets between 2005 and 2010.

Those deaths added to the total of 115 pedestrians killed in Ontario in 2010 – a figure that spurred the province’s chief coroner to launch an inquest.

November is a particularly dicey month for sidewalk users. Between the time change and drastic differences in lighting conditions and weather, drivers and pedestrians need to be extra alert this month.

So be careful and aware on the roads this month, and every month. As Holmes says, it’s up to pedestrians to “take back the asphalt.”

More winter fun: Occupy Winterlude

I

t was inevitable that official Ottawa would tire of the occupation of Confederation Park by protesters linked with the world-wide Occupy Wall Street movement. A number of reasons have been cited but the official one is that the National Capital Commission has to begin planning for Winterlude and that there is no space in the capital’s winter festival for people in tents.

Typically short-sighted, the NCC, in deciding to part company with the Occupy Ottawa protesters, has failed to recognize the potential value in keeping Occupy Ottawa around. There was no need to play the heavy and risk all that bad publicity. The NCC’s goals could have been met without quarreling simply by letting Occupy Ottawa stay and building Winterlude around it.

Let’s consider: Do the rest of us really need Confederation Park right now? It’s nice in the spring and fall for people to grab a coffee on a park bench, great in the summer when the jazz festival is around, but in the winter? Not really.

It’s a short-cut to and from the Rideau Centre. Those park benches get cold. So Occupy Ottawa has not really inconvenienced anyone. The inconvenience arrives with Winterlude when the park is suddenly alive with the sound of chis-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town els and the creation of ice sculptures begins.

That’s what the NCC is worried about – the Occupy people getting in the way of the sculptors and the tourists and the corporate sponsors and whatnot. But listen: the tourists would be delighted to be around real, live Occupiers; what exciting stories they could bring home.

The corporate sponsors have fancy hotel suites they can hang out in if the sight of tents gets them down.

But the most important reason for keeping Occupy Ottawa in the park is that ice sculpture is just made for political protest.

Imagine the park if the Occupiers were allowed to participate in the ice sculpting. Instead of all those familiar loons and polar bears and ornate things that look like chandeliers, we’d be see-

ing ice sculpture with real relevance.

Imagine seeing evil bankers carved in ice, their hearts appropriately cold.

Imagine the collapse of capitalism in a tableau glistening in the sunshine.

Imagine the challenge of creating a fair taxation system out of ice.

These protesters have already demonstrated their creativity in many ways.

Who’s to say they wouldn’t be up to this challenge?

In fact, it almost seems as if they have been thinking along those lines. Here’s a spokesman for Occupy Ottawa quoted last week in response to the NCC’s stated need to have the park back.

“We know that there are events that are planned in future and we will work with the NCC to ensure that those events can be attended by the general public and we can have a nice time together.”

Doesn’t it sound as if he can’t wait to get in there and carve some ice – perhaps a statue of Europe, melting, or a bust of Bernard Madoff.

It is sad that he and his friends won’t get the chance. Ottawa has a proud history of turmoil just waiting to be immortalized in ice. Think of the Pipeline Debate, the Coyne Affair, Belinda Stronach Crossing the Floor, the G20 Protest, several Nights of Long Knives

and various famous gestures by Pierre Elliott Trudeau. These guys in tents were just the ones to bring some political relevance to Winterlude.

But they have to somewhere else. Say, how about LeBreton Flats? There’s a space that no one seems to need.

On the bright side, a lowered visibility for the Occupy folks may not be all bad.

The movement may be running out of steam and risks becoming boring. The possibility of confrontation with the authorities can bring out the rock throwers in hoodies, which won’t help the movement. It might be time to regroup and change tactics. Still, it’s a shame to miss Winterlude.

To the editor, Re: House haunted by Halloween Scrooge, Oct. 27.

I noticed Jessica Cunha’s article on Jack L’Abbé. With respect to the anonymous letter he received, it is sad to hear that there are people like that with distorted perceptions who would try to extinguish the joy and good Jack and his family have brought to so many.

I happened to pass by on Halloween and hung around for a while speaking to the L’Abbés and their neighbors.

There were hundreds of visitors gazing in amazement at the sounds and lights and scenery. Children and adults socializing, photographing, and everyone having a fun time.

We need more people like the L’Abbés. It was nice to see his tradition carried out this year. Hopefully it will continue for many more years.

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.

CITY OF OTTAWA

CLEAN SCENE

R0141134222

To the editor, As a former long-time (original) resident of the Beaverbrook community I was grieved to learn of what I consider an inappropriate development proposal for the site of the former post office.

A developer has proposed a 16-story condominium apartment on that small site at the corner of Teron Road and The Parkway.

In my view and, as I have found out, that of many Beaverbrook residents, both long-term and recent ones, the proposed building conflicts with the special concept of Beaverbrook that Bill Teron pioneered several decades ago.

Despite the effect on the entire Beaverbook community, the city has formally notified only residents living within 120 metres of the site. The information on the city website is just that submitted by the developer without any comment from city planning staff.

Subsequently, I learned that the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association became aware of the proposal and plans to try to inform Beaverbrook residents about the proposal. This letter is to try to help the KBCA in that effort.

For more information go to the KBCA website: www.beaverbrookcommunity.

‘We exceeded our goal’ JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jack Donohue Public School intermediate students – and the Kanata Food Cupboard – were the biggest winners after students managed to raise over 1,100 pounds of non-perishable food items in three short weeks.

On Monday, Nov. 14, teacher Stephen Eisenhauer announced they had managed to bring in 1,179 pounds of canned goods.

“On Friday we were 66 pounds short of our goal,” said Eisenhauer during an assembly of the grades 7 and 8 students.

“This morning…we exceeded our goal.”

Six intermediate teachers announced the competition on Oct. 24, titled The Biggest Winners, where the students’ goal over three weeks was to raise 1,044 pounds of non-perishable food items – the combined weight total of six of the teachers who bundled into a giant pink Jack Donohue t-shirt – for the Kanata Food Cupboard.

Students were excited to hear the total weight of the food collected at the end of the drive.

“These people…don’t have things to eat,” said Grade 8 student Maryam Refai, who went door-to-door asking her neighbours to donate food items.

“I think it’s pretty good so they have some food and don’t go hungry,” added Vanessa Sanfaçon, also a Grade 8 student. Vanessa donated laundry detergent, shampoo and canned goods to the cause.

Grade 8 student Anas Zaman said the project helped raise awareness among the student population.

“We take things for granted,” said Anas, who brought in bags of rice and canned goods. “I think it’s really important for people like us; we have food, we don’t realize other people don’t have food.”

Grade 7 student John Curry brought pasta and juice jugs from home.

“Definitely when you get into winter… there’s more need then,” he said Nine students who led the way in food donations packed themselves into the giant pink Jack Donohue T-shirt. “(It’s important) to help families that are in need,” said John, one of the students who wore the giant shirt.

The competition was part of the school’s character education focus for the month.

The school practices Minga, a part of the teaching of the Free the Children organization, which is described as a “gathering of community members to complete a large task in a short amount of time that benefits all of the community,” on the website.

Over 2,000 people gathered at the Kanata Cenotaph for the Remembrance Day ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11.

People lined the street and clapped as the soldiers and retired military personnel marched through the square, coming to a halt in front of the Cenotaph.

“Remembrance day is extremely important,” said John Gooch, the ceremonial committee chair of the Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion and the man responsible for construction of the Kanata Cenotaph, located in Village Green Square. “We want to remember what went on.”

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Two teenagers are trying to make a difference after being hit hard by the death of Jamie Hubley.

Mike Young, 18, and Migo Bayona, 17, both former Holy Trinity Catholic High School students, wrote a song to honour Jamie and to let others know there is always hope. Proceeds from downloading the song on ITunes are being donated to the Youth Services Bureau.

Jamie Hubley, the 15-year-old son of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, took his own life on Oct. 14 after struggling with a deep depression.

The openly gay Glen Cairn teenager had been bullied in high school.

“I think it’s important for people who are going through what Jamie went through to know that there are people looking to help them,” said Young, who grew up in Bridlewood.

Now in his first year studying concurrent education at Queen’s University, Young travelled to his hometown two weeks ago to write and record “Angels” with Bayona, a former Glen Cairn

resident who now lives in Barrhaven and is studying communications at Carleton University.

“I was appalled at the fact that our society would push someone to the point of ending their life due to bullying. Being exposed to many anti-bullying presentations, I know well enough that what happened was not acceptable at all,” said Bayona. “Mike and I have always been involved with social justice initiatives.

(As) musicians, I knew that making a song and presenting it to society would be our way of trying to make a difference and raising awareness of not only Jamie’s story, but as well as bullying.”

“It’s never really the end, there’s always hope,” said Young.

“That’s basically the message we wanted to get out – that there’s lots of love and people our age are trying to make a difference.”

‘COMPLETELY UNFAIR’ Young didn’t know Jamie personally, but said he knew a lot of people who were close to the teen.

“I heard about the story (about his suicide) and I was pretty upset,” said Young. “It seemed real-

Migo Bayona and Mike Young wrote a song in honour of Jamie Hubley to let others know there is always hope and to raise funds for the Youth Services Bureau. ly, really completely unfair and avoidable. It was something that really, really bothered me and I had to do something about it.

“So I called my friend and told him that I thought we should make a song and he was on board right away.”

The two sat down, created a beat and the lyrics followed from there.

“Essentially, we believed that as artists, we could create a difference, start a movement, and

raise awareness using the power of music,” said Bayona.

“We just wanted to get the message out there and music is our way of doing that,” said Young. “We hope that people enjoy the song and in their own way spread the message… and get rid of this problem.”

The song is available to download on ITunes. At a cost of only 99 cents the download isn’t expensive and the proceeds will go to the Youth Services Bureau,

the charity chosen by the Hubley family for donations in Jamie’s name, said Young.

“A lot of the time you’re not comfortable going to friends, you’re embarrassed…you don’t want to go to your parents,” he said. “The Youth Services Bureau is a non-judgmental organization.”

Young said they want to raise funds and awareness for the bureau because a lot of youth don’t know the service is available.

“It’s really, really important for youth so they know it’s there and it’s a non-judgmental place where they can go and get help,” said Young.

Hubley said his family was touched when they learned Young and Bayona created a song in his son’s memory.

“We listened to it and my wife and I both agreed it was a very touching song and a really nice gesture on their part to raise money for YSB,” he said. “It helps me in my time of grief to know that in some way we’re going to be able to help other families.”

The Ministry of Natural Resources is asking motorists to be extra cautious on Ontario’s roads this fall as wildlife is on the move.

Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the fall, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for mates and food. Deer and elk often travel in groups of two or more, so when motorists see one there may be more nearby.

Drivers who see these animals along the road should slow down and sound their horns in a series of short bursts. At night, motorists should blink their headlights to warn the animals and give them a chance to move out of the way.

Motorists should take care where roads cross creeks or rivers, in wooded corridors, or where field edges run at a right angle to the road.

They should also be cautious where fences meet roads and where wildlife crossing signs are posted.

Paramedic dispatcher lauded as hero LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A pair of paramedic dispatchers found themselves on the front line of an emergency, and three years later they are being hailed as heroes.

Kanata resident Tara Josey and Orleans resident Nadine Leduc were having coffee at a shop in Ottawa south in January of 2008 when they heard gunshots from

the parking lot and ran outside to find a wounded man motionless in the parking lot.

While panicked bystanders fled, the two women, who were both employed as paramedic service communications officers at the time, administered first aid until paramedics arrived.

“We take calls and hear it all the time, but being there and seeing it was totally different,” Josey said. “At the time, we

didn’t really know what was happening. We didn’t really think about it.”

The women were too busy helping the injured man to think of the potential danger of a shooter in the vicinity.

“It didn’t fully sink in until later,” Josey said.

Mayor Jim Watson recognized Josey and Leduc’s efforts with Awards for Heroism during the Nov. 9 council meeting. On

Oct. 28, Governor General David Johnston gave both women Medals of Bravery.

Running back Joey McKiernan was awarded the West All-Star team MVP trophy.

available to the public.

Many veterans aren’t accessing the benefits they qualify for, said Parent, either because they don’t know they qualify or because the process is too complicated.

There are currently around 600,000 veterans of the Canadian Forces, and 91,000 in active duty – of those numbers only around 67,000 are clients of VAC, he said.

“If you see anybody who is in pain, who is in need, who doesn’t know, point them in the right direction,” he urged.

“I had no idea the scope of your office,” said Probus club member Frank Calkins. “Many of us here will fall under it, including myself.”

“It’s the fact that you served period,” said Parent, adding it shouldn’t matter where or when that service took place.

“One important goal I’ve set for myself is to promote the healthy veteran.”

Under the “One Veteran” program, Parent is promoting: • The veterans’ independence program.

• Long-term care.

• Mental health.

• Access for families.

• Benefits adjudication.

• The funeral burial program.

• The new Veterans Charter parliamentary review project.

OPEN HOUSE

President of The Probus Club of Western Ottawa Ruth Howes poses with Chief Warrant Officer Guy Parent (retired), who spoke about the duties and mandate of the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman at a meeting on Nov. 8.

R0071133989

As the community geared up for Remembrance Day, Canada’s veterans ombudsman gave a talk to The Probus Club of Western Ottawa at the Kanata United Church on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Chief Warrant Officer Guy Parent (retired) spoke about the duties and mandate of the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman (OVO) and how it serves those who served their country.

“We all believe in what we do,” said Parent, who was appointed as the second veterans ombudsman last Nov. 11.

“We believe outreach is important.”

The ombudsman works to ensure the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans are recognized with services, benefits and support, and helps to resolve conflicts or issues between vets and other departments.

An impartial and independent officer, Parent reports to the minister of Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC).

“It’s an independent, impartial, neutral voice,” he said. “I’m doing what I think is fair for veterans.”

Assigned for a five-year term, Parent created a focus called “One Veteran.”

Veterans include those who served with the regular forces, the reserve forces, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and were honourably discharged.

“I think it’s important to realize that a veteran is a veteran is a veteran,” said Parent, who was a rescue specialist for 30 years and served close to 50 in a military and civil capacity.

“We have veterans from age 20 to 100 and everything in between.”

He said before this program, there were different classes of veterans, which meant some programs were not available to those who needed them.

An example he gave included services created for veterans of the Af-

Scam warning in Kanata South JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Police are warning residents of a charity scam in Kanata.

People have been going doorto-door claiming they are raising funds for a charity, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who first brought the matter to the police.

He said he received calls from multiple residents in Glen Cairn saying there was a young man going from house to house claiming he was raising funds for youth services in Kanata.

“Because of our tragedy I was very upset that somebody would be in the community trying to raise money for youth while our community is going through this experience,” he said. “It disappoints me that there are people out there like that.”

Hubley said he was in the area when he got the first call about the possibility of it being a scam.

“I saw this guy going up and down driveways…I approached him and didn’t say who I was,” said Hubley. “He gave me a photocopy of a flier that I believe is

from a legitimate charity. What he’s done is taken their stuff and photocopied them.”

Real charities don’t hand out photocopies and most don’t go door-to-door looking for funds, he said.

In each case the male was claiming to live a few streets over.

“He said to me, ‘If they think we live around them they’ll give us money’,” said Hubley. “Each street he goes on he names another place not far away.

“That’s a cause to be suspicious.”

He added the young man said he was part of a team of eight people working in the area.

“Police are encouraging (residents) if anybody gets one of these people at their door…they should definitely notify the police and do not give them any cash,” said Hubley.

So far, Hubley said he’s only received calls about the incident in the Glen Cairn community, h0wever he is warning residents in other parts of Kanata to be vigilant when someone comes to the door looking for money.

He said the police weren’t

able to find the man in question.

“Police were not able to catch him, therefore there’s been no charges laid yet.

What I’m trying to do is give people a heads up,” said Hubley.

“I hope people will help catch the ones that are doing this.”

Residents are reminded of the following safety tips when it comes to door-to-door solicitors: • Do not give cash to charities; ask for a donation card and send your cheque in the mail later when you confirm their status.

• Do not give out any credit card information, unless you have called the business in question and are confident they are reputable.

• Do not be pressured to sign any contracts at the door; take the time, at your convenience, to read all the terms and conditions.

If you are in doubt, simply say no.

• Remain alert; report any suspicious activity to the police (call 911 if it’s a crime in progress) or Strotmann at 613-2361222, ext. 2005.

KOURIER-STANDARD STAFF The city has received a zoning request from the purchaser of the former post office in Beaverbrook at the corner of Teron Road and The Parkway.

The buyer is looking to build a 16-storey, 125 unit high-rise condominium with underground residential parking and above ground visitor parking, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The request is to rezone the property to a resi-

dential fifth density zone with amendments.

The amendments would allow a reduced interior side yard, a reduced landscaped area around the parking lot and a reduced combined parking space rate.

Wilkinson said an on-site sign will be posted shortly. The submitted information will also be available on the city website through DevApps, the development application search function. Comments can be sent to marc.magierowicz@ottawa.ca.

OTTAWA THIS WEEK STAFF The Ottawa police have begun their annual hunting and ATV patrols through rural Ottawa in an effort to enforce the rules and keep the public safe during hunting season.

Throughout the month of November, police will patrol ATV routes in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources to enforce provincial and federal legislation governing hunting, firearms and off-road vehicles.

KANATA’S BEST KEPT SECRET

A City of Ottawa bylaw regulates where, when and how a person may discharge a firearm, which Ottawa police will also enforce.

Hunters are required by law to show their firearm license and registration if asked by police, as well as their outdoors card and hunting license if asked by police or a conservation officer.

Police said hunting carelessly can have serious consequences, including a fine up to $25,000 or imprisonment for up to two years or both.

Kanata Hazeldean Lions hold vision clinic KANATA HAZELDEAN LIONS CLUB The Kanata Hazeldean Lions Club will hold voluntary eye screening clinics for children in grades 1, 5 and 8 at Bridlewood Elementary School on Nov. 21 and 24.

The vision screening is designed to identify children who have poor eyesight, amblyopia or lazy eyes, misaligned eyes and significant far-sightedness or astigmatism.

This is not a complete eye exam and it

will not identify every child that has an eye problem. The Lions Club provides the required screening tools for visual acuity, an alignment stereo fly test and a colour blindness test.

This project is a partnership between the Lions who act as volunteers and the schools.

The student receives a letter to be sent home to let the parents know if any problems were noted and that the student should be tested by a qualified professional.

For families that cannot afford corrective glasses, the Lions may be able to assist that family to provide them.

The school provides the space for the testing. As well, the school prints and sends home letters for the required permission for the testing.

Lions volunteers will be properly trained and have completed the appropriate criminal reference procedures.

This program has been in existence in the Ottawa Valley for the past three years and is delivered at the provincial

level by Lions Clubs across Ontario. It has been supported by the Ontario Association of Optometrists.

Lions Clubs International is the largest service club in the world.

Founded in 1917, its model is “We serve”.

In 1925, Helen Kellar challenged the Lions to be “knights to the blind in the crusade against darkness”.

Since then, the club’s primary service goal is to reduce blindness and vision problems around the world.

The Kanata Seniors Council is hosting a Western Ottawa Seniors Summit to give residents a chance to have their say on the city’s Older Adult Plan on Nov. 25.

Kay Dubie, chair of the council, said this summit is a chance for seniors to voice their opinions on what’s needed for the aging population in the years ahead.

“It’s an opportunity to share their thoughts and write those thoughts down so we can pass them on to the city,” said Dubie.

“We just want to give all the seniors in west Ottawa a chance to have their say in a convenient situation.”

The mayor hosted a Seniors Summit in October and a number of satellite consultations were held around the city with the purpose of looking at what services are needed for an aging population. No satellite group was held in Kanata.

“We heard that quite a few were disappointed at not being

able to register,” said Dubie.

“This will provide them with a forum.”

The number of seniors in Ottawa is set to double over the next 20 years. By 2031, there will be more seniors than youth under age 15 for the first time ever, and the 65-plus crowd will make up 22 per cent of the city’s population.

There are around 20,000 seniors in west Ottawa (Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Rideau-Goulbourn), said Dubie.

“That’s a lot of seniors,” she said. “And they’re growing because of the baby boomer situation.”

The day-long event will give seniors a chance to fill out the city’s Seniors Summit survey and discuss the eight questions.

The summit will deal with the first four questions in the morning and the last four questions in the afternoon, with a complimentary lunch to break up the day.

“If they want to have a say in the Older Adult Plan then they

By TRACEY TONG They fundraised, cycled, and supported local cancer research to the tune of $1.8 million.

Recently, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation recognized its top fundraisers in September’s Ride the Rideau, fuelled by Nordion – a 100-kilometre Ottawa to Merrickville bike tour in support of research at The Ottawa Hospital – for their outstanding contributions and to show them the impact of their fundraising.

The event, which raised $2.7 million in just two years, has quickly grown to become the top cancer fundraiser in eastern Ontario. This year, more than 715 riders – from Starbucks baristas to CEOs of major corporations – took part in the event.

The top fundraising team for the second year was the Brick Peddlers, led by event champion Robert Merkley of Merkley Supply Inc. Ottawa’s construction and homebuilding industry has embraced the event – other teams recognized included ones from the Ottawa Construction Association, Minto, Boone Plumbing and Heating Supply, and PCL, among others.

“The overwhelming support that we have received from some of the biggest names in the Ottawa business community shows how crucial cancer research is,” said Tim Kluke, President and

CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

CEO of title sponsor Nordion Steve West, who also took part in the ride, said as a company, “Nordion is extremely proud to support Ride the Rideau as it continues to contribute to cancer research that will benefit patients in the Ottawa region, and around the world.”

Funds raised from this year’s event are supporting a number of related cancer research initiatives, including clinical trials and the development of novel targeted therapies.

“Each cancer, like each patient, is different,” said Dr. Duncan Stewart, CEO and Scientific Director of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and a Ride the Rideau participant. “By developing personalized therapies that are tailored for each patient, we will be able to give people treatments that are more likely to work from the very beginning.”

Registration for Ride the Rideau 2012 has opened. To learn more about and sign up for the event, to be held Saturday, September 8, 2012, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

The Kaniacs – The Ottawa Hospital Foundation Board Chair Greg Kane, centre, and his sons, Graeme, left, Oliver, right, and Adam Kane – were recognized as one of Ride the Rideau’s top fundraising teams. Greg Kane was also inducted into the Peloton Club.

Moffat will not be in attendance due to a prior commitment but “he supports the effort,” said Dubie.

Police warn of distraction thefts JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Police are warning residents to watch their wallets after a rash of distraction thefts have been reported across the city.

So far, around 25 thefts have been reported in the west end since July, most occurring in Walmarts and at grocery stores.

Kanata and Stittsville community police office Const. Ryan Strotmann said the suspects work in pairs and often target senior women.

“One distracts the victim (and) the other steals her wallet or credit cards from her open purse, which is on the top of her cart,” he said.

He said it’s important people keep an eye on their personal belongings while shopping and not leave them unattended.

“Keep your wallets in your pockets and, or keep your purse on your shoulder,” said Strotmann.

West district investigators are looking into the issue.

COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

The West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC) halfway through its Environmental Assessment, presented the proposed layout, or “footprint” for its new landfill at its third round of open houses in Carp, Stittsville and Kanata from Nov. 8 to 10.

Four footprints were presented – two proposed by Waste Management, and two resulting from community feedback from previous open houses.

Using a mathematical system evaluating pros and cons of each option, the second option called the “Northern Footprint” came out on top.

This option would see construction of the environmental centre’s new landfill on the northern side of the existing capped landfill, between William Mooney Road and Carp Road.

The new landfill would be 6.5 million cubic metres, with a height of 28 metres and a slope of 4:1; around 60 per cent of the size of the existing landfill.

Various factors were considered in the evaluation process, including archaeology and cultural heritage, air quality, odour, noise, economics, land use and water quality.

Ross Wallace, the project manager for the WCEC, said that he thinks the general community will be happy with the information they saw at the open house.

“We’re holding more meetings than anyone ever has, and we’re getting a lot of information out there,” he said. “We’re listening to the community and we’re giving them what they want.”

Wallace acknowledged that not all the information would fit onto the display boards set up at the open houses, and said that it was a balancing act between including too many or too few of the technical details.

Carp resident Geoffrey Colley said that he didn’t think they had struck a good enough balance at the open house held at the Carp Agricultural Hall on Nov. 8.

“There’s an awful lot of jargon going on here,” he said.

“This business of the footprint, for example, I’ve yet to see an explanation here. The formal explanations are jargon which doesn’t help the average layman to understand.”

Colley has attended previous WCEC open houses, and said that he is “less than 100 per cent comfortable” with the proposed facility.

“If that facility gets expanded, what negative effects is it going to have on the community?

That’s a pretty wide open question right now,” he said.

Sylvia McGee, a member of the Carp Landfill Community Liaison Committee (CLCLC), also attended the open house.

She has attended all public consultations offered by WM because she is a concerned resident who lives halfway between Carp and Stittsville.

“I’m a neighbour of the landfill,” she said.

She said she has been reassured that the landfill will only be a portion of WM’s five-point plan, and that all environmental aspects will be carefully considered – groundwater preservation, odour control and air quality included.

The other four elements of the environmental centre, besides the landfill, include waste diversion, renewable energy, environmental areas and community uses.

Since joining the CLCLC five years ago, she said she has been impressed with how WM has dealt with community concerns.

“We have brought issues forward and they have dealt with each and every one of them, and they have dealt with them well,” she said.

While she is willing to support the environmental centre if they stick to strict environmentally-friendly guidelines, she is concerned that our population and its garbage production is getting out of control.

“My hope for the future is that when it comes to disposal of waste, we will look after not only today’s needs but the future’s needs,” she said. “I hope that the technology catches up with the community’s needs. I feel reassured that Waste Management has an eye on that.”

Large binders were available at the open houses for those wishing to look into the technical details, and that information is also available online, Wallace said.

Two technical sessions were scheduled as requested by the community. The first addressed air quality and was held on Nov. 16.

The second will deal with groundwater, and is scheduled for Nov. 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Waste Management’s Ottawa office located at 254 Westbrook Rd. Wallace said that often community members are overwhelmed by the amount of in-

Write to us at news@yourkanata.com

formation presented to them at open houses, and have the misconception that they need to provide feedback immediately.

Feedback dating all the way back to their first open house can still be given throughout the

entire environmental assessment process, Wallace said.

Waste Management will host a third workshop on Nov. 23 from 7-9 p.m. at the Carp Agricultural Hall located at 3790 Carp Rd. to provide the public with further

information about the various landfill options and the preferred footprint.

Business leaders applaud city budget LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A parade of business dignitaries lined up to applaud the city for its 2012 draft budget.

The Ottawa Chamber of Commerce hired a group of experts and accountants to analyze the city’s budget, and they determined the city is doing a “good job at managing the public purse,” said Erin Kelly, executive director of the Chamber.

Sticking to predictable tax increases is the biggest benefit to businesses that the city can offer in its budget, Kelly said.

“Stability is a competitive advantage in today’s world,” she said.

Kelly was one of a handful of business luminaries who spoke at a special budget meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 7. The committee oversees areas such as city administration, Service Ottawa, the light-rail implementation office, accessibility and support for council’s activities. The committee endorsed its portion of the budget during the meeting.

But the back-patting didn’t end there.

Jeff Westeinde, chair of the board of the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI) said the budget will “bring more focus and urgency and create the winning

conditions we need to prosper.”

City council’s leadership has already led to more collaboration across the business sectors, Westeinde said, adding that he, too, supports predictable tax increases.

But it wasn’t all congratulatory.

Kelly said the city really needs to focus on building reserve funds to pay for infrastructure upgrades and other capital projects. Borrowing money should be limited to large-scale projects, she said, and the cost of regular infrastructure maintenance should come from operating expenses and reserves.

City treasurer Nancy Simulik said the city plans to contribute $178 million to reserves in 2012.

Kelly also expressed concern over the city’s plans to cut down on staffing costs by reducing the growth of the municipal civil service. She said growth should happen when necessary, so as not to “stifle prosperity.”

Simulik said the equivalent of 500 fulltime positions would have to be eliminated if the city wanted to keep staffing costs flat from one year to the next. Contracted salary increases (including cost of living increases) will amount to $50 million in 2012, Simulik said.

City council is set to vote on the final budget on Nov. 30.

Week-long anti-bullying initiative seeks to stamp out bullying in schools COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

On Nov. 16, a wave of pink will sweep the city in an initiative to wipe out bullying in schools.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) is about to launch their second annual bully awareness week in 10 different schools in the West Carleton, Kanata and Goulbourn area.

From Nov. 14-18, various school events will be held to address bullying, including the Day of Pink on Nov. 16 where students are invited to wear pink to stand up in solidarity against bullies.

Angela Lorusso is the children’s community coordinator with the WOCRC and is spearheading the initiative. She’s had a lot of experience in schools and with bullies, helping to run the bully prevention program that the WOCRC offers year-round with visits to schools and discussions with not only students, but parents and teachers too.

“The biggest piece of advice I can offer to kids who are being bullied is to tell someone,” Lorusso said. “And if that doesn’t work, tell someone else. And keep telling.”

The recent suicide of Kanata teen Jamie Hubley will be a hot button issue during this year’s bully awareness week, as Hubley was taunted and bullied for his homosexuality at his high school.

“They’re not just words,” Lorusso said of taunts from bullies. “They stick with you for the rest of your life.”

Lorusso said that many schools participating in bully awareness week have decided to pair it with the Be the Change campaign, offering five steps to fight homophobia. While there

is no good that can come from youth suicides like Hubley’s, at least his struggle is generating discussion and awareness, Lorusso said.

Bullying in schools is now more prevalent than ever with the rise of cyberbullying, using new technology to victimize someone.

Cyberbullying offers bullies an anonymity that appeals to many. Their online comments are available for the whole world to see, meaning that there is no longer any safe space for those being bullied.

In February of 2010, the provincial government implemented Bill 157, titled Keeping Our Kids Safe at School Act. This bill gives educators the right to protect students from bullying of any kind (including cyberbullying), and to provide consequences accordingly.

While the bill is open to interpretation, it is a step in the right direction in terms of ensuring that there are repercussions for bullies, Lorusso said.

One tip that Lorusso has for people who have been cyberbullied is to keep the evidence. Anything posted online is, in effect, documentation that should be saved to show a parent or educator.

“We’re trying to make people think before they click,” Lorusso said.

If students start to see consequences for their online actions, they’ll think twice before saying something potentially harmful.

The WOCRC’s bully awareness program teaches four key strategies to combat bullying: take a stand, build connections, stay safe, and tell an adult.

Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence (PREVNet) is a national network of

Canadian researchers, non-governmental organizations and governments committed to stopping bullying.

A PREVNet study found that approximately 12 per cent of girls and 18 per cent of boys reported bullying others at least twice in previous months. About 15 per cent of girls and 18 per cent of boys reported being victimized over the same period.

In a 2004 World Health Organization (WHO) survey, Canada was ranked 26th out of 35 countries in terms of the number of people who report bullying others, and 27th for those who report being victims of bullying.

Cathy Jordan, executive director of the WOCRC, said that this is a sure sign that something has got to change.

“There is this preconceived notion that this is just something that kids do to each other, that it’s just a rite of passage,” she said.

That’s a myth that the bully prevention program is trying to dispel, Lorusso said.

“Bullying is a form of abuse,” she said. “It doesn’t build character, it’s hurtful and it’s harmful. No one deserves to be victimized, and it’s not a normal part of childhood development.”

To combat this myth, the WOCRC has paired up with various businesses in the community to create the Ottawa Preschool Bullying Prevention Coalition (OPBPC). They’ve created what they call a Sharing & Caring kit that is available from the public library in both English and French full of information, activities, puppets and books to raise awareness about bullying.

The kit can be accessed by teachers at school or parents at home.

“We know that the earlier we address the issue, the more effective we are in creating changes,” Lorusso said. “The skills that the Sharing & Caring kit teaches will protect children not just from victimization, but from engaging in the bullying behaviour themselves.”

As Bully Awareness Week gets closer, Lorusso said it’s impor-

tant to remember to raise awareness about bullying at school, but also at home.

“It’s not just a school issue. It’s a community issue,” she said.

“I think it’s our responsibility to support our kids and to work together because of the negative impact bullying has on kids.”

That negative impact can include anxiety disorders, depression, decreased academic performance, decreased school attendance and potentially suicide – or, as some call it, bullycide, the death of someone because of their inability to cope with bullying.

WOCRC workers will wear pink on Nov. 16 to commemorate the Day of Pink, and will host various school initiatives throughout Ottawa for Bully Awareness Week from Nov. 1418.

‘They’re not just words’: bully prevention worker

Expert urges Ottawa to jump on cycling social media bandwagon LAURA MUELLER

and bolster cycling as a trend in Ottawa.

While Citizens for Safe Cycling has laura.mueller@metroland.com historically advocated for infrastructure It will take a social-media and commuimprovements such as cycling lanes, the nity-savvy city staffer to engage the public tone of the keynote speaker at CFSC’s Nov. 1 annual general meeting represented a bit of a shift, said BELLS CORNER’S UNITED CHURCH board member Risa Sargent.

Hayley Richardson, the outreach co-ordinator for the transportation demand management program of the city of Bellevue, near Seattle, spoke to the group Saturday, November 19th, 2011 about using social media such 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. as Twitter and Facebook to engage people on cycling issues.

Baking, Books Richardson said she turned to Lunch & More! social media as a way to connect with a largely unengaged population of cyclists in Bellevue.

3955 Richmond Rd, Nepean R0011171929 It was something she had to convince the bureaucratic old guard would work, but so far, taking to Facebook and Twitter has been a great success for Bellevue, Richardson said.

“It’s a great forum for people to think about what could be,” she said.

Unlike Bellevue, Ottawa already has a sizeable amount of cycling infrastructure such as bike lanes, but perhaps the next step is to build enthusiasm and advocacy for cycling, said Dennis Van Staalduinen, a Champlain Park resident who attended the meeting.

Fostering a grassroots enthusiasm to keep the cycling momentum going in Ottawa could be something for the city to tackle next, said Van Staalduinen, who is a cyclist.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi speaks to Schyler Playford of Right Bike, a Westborobased community-owned bicycle-share program. Naqvi and Playford attended the annual general meeting of Citizens for Safe Cycling on Nov. 1 at Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg.

The city needs cyclists to use the infrastructure it’s building in order to justify the expense, he said.

“Having someone responsible for it, you have performance measures of how well they are getting people out of cars,” he said.

The city isn’t using social media right now, but it did start an email newsletter last year that already has 1,500 subscribers.

The city does more “classical outreach,” said transportation planner Zlatko Krstulich.

That includes talking to the roads and cycling advisory committee (a citizens group) and consulting with communities about cycling facilities planned for their areas.

As for social media, Krstulich said “that’s something we would take on

as more of a broader communications strategy.”

But in the meantime the city has “really increased the ways we communicate with cyclists,” he said.

“So we just want to make sure that works well and we can manage it.”

Ottawa is more involved in planning events, many of which are done in partnership with the Enviro Centre.

That includes the successful Bike to Work Month (May), which had 861 pledge online this year, and a community contest measuring which mode of transportation was faster: car, bike or transit.

Open data related to cycling, including the trip counters on routes such as the Laurier Avenue segregated lanes, will be available soon, and city staff hopes that data will be shared and take on a life of its own online.

An Ottawa crime prevention task force is looking to tackle crime in Ottawa’s rural areas.

Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO), a group that aims to reduce crime and increase community safety in the city, has recently published a report highlighting the difference between crimes committed in rural versus urban communities.

Rural Crime Prevention: A Literature Review, a study assembled by University of Ottawa PhD candidate Jennifer Fraser, examines existing international reports on rural crime prevention.

UNIQUE PROBLEMS Rural communities face a unique set of problems, according to the study, with crimes that are less likely to involve a weapon and victims who are more likely to know the perpetrators.

Rural residents also feel slightly more safe from crime than city dwellers, according to Canadian surveys.

After meeting with various

city councillors and community resource centres to discuss the results of the report, CPO is now working on a list of recommendations to present to their board of directors, most likely in January.

It’s still unclear whether the CPO’s next course of action will be a city-wide awareness campaign around rural crime prevention, or a more specific project in a rural area, said Michael Justinich, one of three employees with CPO, adding that the group would most likely choose the city-wide option.

CRIME PREVENTION OTTAWA Crime Prevention Ottawa, created out of the city’s 2005 budget and first implemented in 2006, has taken on projects in high-crime urban areas like Vanier and Bayshore.

After talks with city councillors, Justinich said he realized more needed to be done about rural spaces.

“We started hearing from suburban and rural areas, and they were asking, ‘What are you doing for us?’”

A valid question, Justinich said, considering that around

80 per cent of Ottawa’s landscape is rural.

West Carleton, Rideau-Goulbourn, and Osgoode are entirely rural communities, in addition to rural areas within Kanata, Nepean, Cumberland and Gloucester.

Because of their sparse population and the commute that residents often have to make, rural homes are largely unsupervised and less likely to be spotted mid-crime than in urban areas.

While drug and alcohol use is often thought of as a “city problem,” the numbers are almost the same in urban and rural locations.

The difference is that rural residents have less access to drug or alcohol abuse treatment programs, making it more difficult to recover in a rural setting. Additionally, there is a higher acceptability of impaired driving in rural settings, as buses are unavailable and taxis are expensive.

But a crime committed is not necessarily a crime reported.

“One of the problems we hear across every neighbourhood, everywhere is that people aren’t reporting crimes,” Jus-

tinich said.

Part of the problem is confusion – when to call 311 versus 911, or whether something is truly a crime – but another part is fear.

“People are reluctant to report in the city because of the fear of the drug dealer next door,” he said. “Interestingly enough, if someone rural reports their neighbour in an isolated area, then the neighbour is going to know who called it in.”

Youth in rural spaces often get involved in crime because of very simple, unfortunate facts, said Justinich – there isn’t enough age-appropriate programming to give them something positive to do, or they don’t have the transportation to get to that programming.

“That issue comes up all the time,” Justinich said.

REACTION West Carleton-March Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry said that he has read the report and will work with CPO, but wanted to make sure they acknowledge the difference between urban and ru-

ral crimes, particularly when it comes to youth.

“I’m not saying this because I’m a rural councillor and I love my area, but I don’t think we have a gang issue, which is what you would see in the city,” he said. “You’re not going to see a youth damaging a mail box in an urban area, but that does happen here.”

El-Chantiry said he is impressed with all that is done to engage youth in West Carleton, like the city-funded youth group Youth Connexions, summer camps, 4H clubs, and various community association initiatives like outdoor skating rinks and organized sports.

Perhaps in the future, schools could be opened in the summertime for activities and sports, he said.

“I am a strong believer that we don’t do enough for crime prevention in any area; rural, urban or core,” he said. “They (CPO) should be congratulated for taking the lead in that.”

KANATA BAPTIST CHURCH It is that time of year when all the Christmas decorations are up and the shoppers are scurrying about looking for their treasures.

Once again the Kanata Baptist Pioneer Clubs is sponsoring the Children’s Christmas Shop.

It’ll take place Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Kanata Baptist Church, 465 Hazeldean Rd., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This is an unique shop where only children are allowed to enter.

We provide a safe environment for them to shop.

All children three to 13 years of age are welcome.

The children are able to shop for every

member of their family.

All items cost between 25 cents, prices geared to a child’s budget.

We will provide a helper for the younger shoppers.

Once the purchases are made we will wrap the items and tag them, ready to go under the tree.

For this shop to operate we take donations of new and used items and wrapping supplies.

If you wish to help us please call Wendy at 613-838-2847 or the church office at 613-836-3145.

While the children are waiting to shop there are movies to watch.

Since parents are not allowed into the shop there is a coffee shop for them, a bake table and a book table.
