PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com North Grenville resident Tracy Crawford donated her liver to a woman she didn't know in 2016, and says it's been the best experience of her life. She told North Grenville council her story on April 16 in an effort to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation, in light of April being national Organ and Tissue Awareness Month. After presenting the steps to become an organ donor after death, Crawford removed her green blazer (on theme with Green Shirt Day) to reveal a Tshirt that read, 'I am a living doSee NINE, page 2

nor - what's your super power?' "I think any good leadership leads by example," she said. "It's OK - I went first!" Crawford considered donating her liver when she heard that a friend of her colleague was sick. "My co-worker came to the lunch table and said, 'My friend is awfully sick,'
and I could forecast into the future when she'd come to the table and say she had to leave early to go to her friend's funeral," she said. "I couldn't, with any conscience, say, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, Sandie. I wish there was something I could have done,' because there was something I could have done - I could be screened." Being from a small town, Crawford said when
THE ISSUE: ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION LOCAL IMPACT: LIVING DONORS CAN DONATE UP TO 80 PER CENT OF THEIR LIVER OR ONE OF THEIR TWO KIDNEYS. THROUGH THE LIVING DONOR PROGRAM, EXPENSES AND PARTIAL WAGES ARE COVERED someone asks for help, you help. "That's just how I grew up. It never occurred to me that there was another choice," she said. Though it may not have been the most pleasant experience, Crawford said donating her liver was the best experience of her life, without a doubt. "I won the lottery, guys. I say that because my re-

"It is a very powerful, life-affirming thing to be able to do." Considering the odds, Crawford said she is lucky to have been a match as a living organ donor because three out of four prospective donors are deferred after being screened for medical reasons. Meanwhile, nine out of ten people seeking a liver donation will die waiting. During her recovery, Crawford said she thought that pain would be what limited her activity, but the biggest factor was actually exhaustion. "I experienced more of a bloated feeling or discomfort than pain," she said. "When out of my home, I used a walker with a seat, because when it was time to sit, there wasn't time to
find a chair." She explained the process to include three screenings, a psychological evaluation, surgical consultation, surgery, and recovery. She also described the Program of Reimbursing Expenses of Living Organ Donors (PRELOD), which is administered by the Trillium Gift of Life Network and helps cover costs, including transportation, food, accommodations, and partial coverage of lost wages if the donor does not apply for Employment Insurance (EI). Mayor Nancy Peckford asked her if she thinks of the donation recipient of-
ten. "I'm friends with her on Facebook, so we talk often," Crawford replied. "She calls November '16 her new birthday, so I wish her a happy (second) birthday every year." Coun. Doreen O'Sullivan said what Crawford has done is wonderful, "and it's not just a smalltown mentality to be generous and to be helpful." Living donors can donate up to 80 per cent of their liver or one of their two kidneys. The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself, and it will regenerate to its approximate full volume in three months, and to full size within one year. The portion of liver donated will also regenerate to nearly full size. Find out more at www.beadonor.ca.

April is national Organ and Tissue Awareness Month. Nine out of 10 people will die waiting for a liver donation.

RAINBOW, TRANS FLAGS TO BE RAISED TO MARK PRIDE MONTH PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com
"I think it's a true example of community stewardship, and people coming together for the greater good - for, ultimately, a minority group that is absolutely living in our area and has been for a long time."
- Holly Brown, founder of Rainbow Union, Dundas and Grenville
Brown was successful in asking council of the day to have the rainbow flag raised to mark Pride Month for the first time in North Grenville's history. "We've decided to take it up 10 notches and do an entire event ... It's really exploded into something much bigger than I could've imagined," she said. Networking with community members, organizations and businesses has been one of the highlights for Brown in plan-
ning the Pride event. "I think it's a true example of community stewardship, and people coming together for the greater good - for, ultimately, a minority group that is absolutely living in our area and has been for a long time," she said. Brown hopes the support and demonstrative nature of having a Pride event in Kemptville will create waves within the community. Just by raisSee LOCAL, page 22

To celebrate Pride Month in North Grenville, the municipality will fly the rainbow flag through the month of June again, and this time it will be accompanied by the trans flag. Holly Brown, founder of local grassroots organization, Rainbow Union Dundas and Grenville (RUDG), made the request and discussed the motion with council at their April 16 meeting. She also provided an update on how preparations for Kemptville's first Pride event, slated also for June 1, are coming along. "Rainbow Union decided, in an effort to raise more awareness in the community, to go ahead and organize a Pride celebration this year," she said. In June of last year,

KEMPTVILLE PANTHERS BRING HOME SILVER STICK CHAMPIONSHIP PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com A local hockey team continues to celebrate their big win of a prestigious championship that was held in Pelham in January. The Kemptville Panthers Atom B1 Hockey Team was honoured by North Grenville council at the April 16 council meeting for winning the International Silver Stick Championship. "This past season was one our kids will surely not forget any time soon," said
coach Rob Kennedy. He said in the beginning, the group of players reflected a variety of skills, and they all came together to make a very dominant team throughout the season. "The Silver Stick is one of the most prestigious tournaments held in minor hockey. With the team we had, I believed we had an excellent opportunity to compete for the championship," he said. The Panthers first qualified to attend a regional qualifier held in Halibur-
ton, during which they won every game and made their way to the international championships. "The opening ceremonies were an amazing event, which let the kids see how much the Silver Stick has become over the years and how prestigious a tournament it is," said Kennedy. They played a team from Boulder, Colorado, which they tied 1-1. Then, they won the next two games in a round-robin tournament. Two days later, they participated in the quarter finals,

While we might not have the trendy zero-waste grocery stores popping up in larger urban centres like Toronto or Ottawa, rural communities are uniquely situated in other ways to help their citizens reduce the waste they produce. Michelle Dunford, her husband Jeff Dunford and their 1.5-year-old, have been living the zero-waste lifestyle for the past year. The family, who live in Kemptville, now produces a small Mason jar worth of waste every two weeks. Simple changes including buying bulk food, preparing meals from scratch, using reusable containers to replace single-use plastics and not relying on recycling as a way to justify buying products with packaging, have all aided in their efforts. Before making a larger transition to more consciously reduce waste, the family had already adopted practices that helped reduce the waste they produce: bringing reusable bags to the grocery store and composting. But, despite these efforts, they were still throwing away a

change this?" Simple fixes that are possible for most people in rural areas include growing your own food, going to farmers' markets in the summer to buy local and food without packaging, shopping at local bulk food stores, eating meat sustainably, composting and bringing your own containers and just simply not buying as much stuff is all possible, and, many, even easier to adopt in rural areas. "It's about making small changes over time," said Michelle, who advises people interested in exploring the zero-waste lifestyle move their garbage to a different location in their kitchen. This, she said, will help people become more conscious every time you throw something away. Michelle said common misconceptions about the movement is that it's more expensive and time-consuming. While she acknowledges that your grocery bill may go up at the register, overall your costs will be reduced because you'll end up reducing your food waste. Over time, you'll end up buying less of the things you to use and you'll stop buying the things you don't actually need. "If you are buying less, it saves money and time," she said. Heather Mitchell-Adams, owner of Modern Thymes Health & Bulk Foods in Smiths Falls, also lives as close to a zerowaste lifestyle as possible. And she's trying to bring her zero-waste philosophies into the store to make living a low-waste lifestyle

I was supposed to stop and get something for dinner on the way home from work. But as I walked through the doors of our local grocery store, I got distracted by the harbingers of spring: tiny Easter table centrepieces of purple pansies, yellow tulips, pink roses and Styrofoam eggs in brown paper baskets. Suddenly, I was back in Europe, walking along the port in Marseilles, sniffing baskets of fresh lavender. Ten minutes later, my list ignored, I was at the cash with a basketful of flowers, a baguette, some olive tapenade, pate and goat cheese. We were having tapas for dinner. I might be back home but mentally, I am still cruising the Mediterranean. I finally got the Farmer to Europe. I have said before, I'm pretty sure he was a Second World War fighter pilot in his former life, because he is obsessed with war movies. His entire adult life he has watched these films - the grainy black and white footage found on YouTube is his favourite. So against my better judgment (due to my propensity for motion sickness on an air mattress in a swimming pool) I stuck him on a cruise ship with 4,500 other souls and we toured the Tyrrhenian Sea, enjoying day trips in Palermo, Malta, Barcelona, Marseilles and Genoa. We got a whole weekend in Rome. He thought he had seen all there was to see of ancient
Europe, in movies and books. But there is something special about standing at the entrance to the Roman Colosseum, smack in the middle of a bustling metropolis, surrounded by locals, tourists and the ghosts of gladiators. My husband toured history. I toured for the culture. When I go to another country, I want to eat the way the locals eat and I want to live the way they live. We took the hop-on, hop-off bus tours and visited all of the required sites but when we got hungry we wandered off the beaten path. We followed dimly lit, cobblestone streets too narrow for motorized vehicles, and stumbled upon local cafeterias (the Roman version of a family diner) that served fresh, homemade and well-priced local fare. The Italian way of eating is antipasto (first plate), pasta (second plate), meat and veg (third plate) and dessert (fourth plate). They don't snack. They eat well-balanced meals three times a day and after lunch they nap for a couple of hours. This is how they are able to put dinner off until at least 8 p.m. and go dancing at midnight. It was against everything I had learned about healthy eating habits but I did my best to do as the Romans do, when in Rome. It's a good thing we walked an average four hours a day on our city tours or I might have had a bit more baggage to bring home, if you know what I mean. I spent my 51st birthday in Palermo. I believe you can never have too many pairs of boots and so I was on the hunt for something in Italian leather. There were plenty of shoe stores but when I made the universal sign for boot (a karate chop to the top of the calf under the knee), the
salesladies just laughed and shook their heads and mumbled that it was the wrong season for boots: "saisonee malee" or something like that. As we gave up and headed back to the port I spotted a store window full of boots. And next to the door, a huge poster that said 50 per cent off (because it wasn't the season for boots!). Alas, when we tried the door, it was locked. A quick consultation with two Italian ladies who had joined me to admire the window display confirmed that most stores were closed from 1 to 3 p.m. I was out of luck. Suddenly a man appeared at my elbow. "Are you just looking or will you buy?" he asked, bleary eyed. "Oh, I want to buy," I assured him. About 20 minutes later I had not one but two new pairs of Italian leather boots and Andrea, my new Italian friend, had a healthy sale heading into his siesta. I really wanted to go back to the shoe store ladies and show them my loot, pulling a Pretty Woman: "Do you work on commission? Big mistake. Huge." In reality the Farmer saved money because even two pairs of boots in Palermo were priced lower than one pair of Italian leather boots back home. The pizza and pasta were undercooked, the coffee was too strong and the people were a little rude, but I've got to admit, Italy, you've got style. I think I will adopt your post-lunch siestas and your food-centred celebrations. Barcelona, Malta and Marseilles, we barely met, but I appreciate your attitude, love your colour and plan to return someday soon.

LIBRARIES, PUBLIC HEALTH LATEST TO FEEL PREMIER'S WRATH After making broad changes to education, public health and libraries seem to be the next services on Premier Doug Ford's chopping block. In his first provincial budget, released April 11, $200 million in cuts are coming to public health and both the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) and Ontario Library Service - North (OLS-North) budgets' are shrinking by 50 per cent or more. The premier has been very vocal about his desire to reduce the number of public health units from 35 to 10 and consolidate the Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) with a central agency. The 100 per cent cost sharing between the province and local municipalities will reduce to 75 or 60 per cent. This funding will greatly impact how these organizations, including our own Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, do their jobs; roles that include disease prevention, sexual health programs, immunization monitoring and water quality testing. It's a bit of a dangerous move, considering cuts to services like these could lead to more infectious diseases and outbreaks. SARS and Walkerton were not that long ago, but how quickly some forget. In the case of libraries, it's no surprise Ford is targeting them. As a Toronto city councillor in 2011, he endorsed slashing the city's library budget by $4 million and recommended closing them in his own community. While Ford may not value libraries, it's clear they are an essential service to communities, particularly rural municipalities like ours. They are a place to research, meet, reflect, learn and play. A change.org petition has already logged more than 10,000 signatures in support of retaining funding to the services. But the effects of the cuts are already taking shape as over the Easter holiday weekend, the Ontario InterLibrary Loan Service was cancelled. This is a vital program that allows members to borrow between libraries, giving them broader access to materials. This is just the tip of the iceberg. SOLS and OLSNorth also provide important training to library staff that's in jeopardy. But don't worry, soon you'll be able to have a beer in the park. How can these slashes to education, public health and our libraries be cast aside in favour of expanding alcohol sales, allowing for tailgating parties and drinking in public parks. Is the premier really placing an apparent obsession with alcohol over the education of our children and the safety of us all? It certainly seems that way.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER URGES OTHERS TO SIGN PETITION AGAINST LIBRARY CUTS DEAR EDITOR: By now, no doubt, you've heard about the cuts to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Tuesday's provincial budget, which resulted in a 50 per cent cut to the two agencies (Southern Ontario Library Service and its northern Ontario counterpart) that provide interlibrary loan services and training of public library staff across the province, among other things. I don't know about you but I have two interlibrary loan books on my desk right now, that are enabling me to prepare a presentation to the Horticultural Society and research eastern Ontario history in order to write a period TV series. I belong to a book club that will no longer be able to afford to enjoy reading pretty well whatever book our interests take us to. All public library collections are at least partially funded by our public mon-
ey - through that base funding the Minister says he's protecting - the funding that hasn't changed since 1995. These collections are a shared public resource that must continue to be shared across the province in order to achieve any kind of efficiency across the system. Here is a petition website that has some traction: www.change.org/p/dougford-stop-the-cuts-to-thesouthern-ontario-libraryservice-and-ontario-library-servicenorth-0c4e3208-183546ae-91b7-1f3898603f6e.

YVONNE HELWIG RIDEAU LAKES
MP: EXPULSIONS A BETRAYAL OF JUSTICE DEAR EDITOR: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sent a clear message to Canadians: If you tell the truth, there is no room for you in the Liberal Party of Canada. Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould were ex-
pelled from the Liberal caucus because they blew the whistle on Justin Trudeau's SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal. This is wrong and it is a betrayal of justice. Justin Trudeau led a campaign to politically interfere in a criminal investigation. He and his office bullied and threatened Ms. Wilson-Raybould in an attempt to get her to let SNCLavalin off the hook. When she resisted, she was fired and when she told the truth, she was removed from caucus. This should tell Canadians everything they need to know about how things work in the Liberal Party of Canada. Liberal Members of Parliament have chosen to condemn colleagues who spoke truth to power and to prop up a prime minister who is drowning in scandal. They are upset about how the truth came out, not what the truth is. Only the Liberal Party of Canada would kick people out of caucus for telling the truth.

100 MEN WHO CARE SUPPORTS LOCAL SENIORS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com 100 Men Who Care North Grenville continue to show the love to local charities as they enter their second year. Since their last meeting of 2018, membership has grown to 70, and the group has also welcomed Ed Donkersteeg to their steering committee. Catered Affairs hosted the organization within the cafeteria building of the Kemptville Campus on Feb. 21 when they held their first meeting of 2019. The usual protocol would normally see members each pledge $100 per meeting to a donation pool for the charity that would receive the most votes after presenting to the group. There are typically three charities/presentations at each meeting. However, 100 Men voted to change the way their voting and donating is done. "We felt each charity should
receive something for the time and effort they put into presenting to the group," said Jamie Beavis, a member of the steering committee. "Also, because we focus on smaller, local charities, we felt every one could use some help." As such, each presenter at the meetings going forward will receive 10 per cent of the pool, up to a maximum of $500 until membership has reached 100. The group observed three presentations from Beth Donovan Hospice, Kemptville & District Home Support Inc. and Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary. The donation pool for the evening totalled $6,500. After the voting period ended, the donations were calculated as follows: $500 each for Big Sky Ranch and Beth Donovan Hospice, and $5,500 for Kemptville & District Home Support. The next meeting is scheduled for May 27 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212 in Kemptville.
Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland 100 Men Who Care North Grenville held their first meeting for 2019 on Feb. 21, and raised $5,500 for Kemptville and District Home Support Inc. as well as $500 each for Big Sky Ranch and Beth Donovan Hospice. Membership has grown to 70 members.

PLAN AHEAD, MAKE SMALL CHANGES Continued from page 5
bags to take their items home. "For the most part, people have been really receptive to it," she said. The store is also expanding its bulk section and bringing in low-waste cosmetic lines. MitchellAdams even has her homemade laundry detergent available in bulk at the store. Like Michelle, MitchellAdams believes that people should do what they can and not feel the pressure to live up to what some people are able to accomplish living a zero-waste lifestyle. "It's just unrealistic to be totally honest," she said. The way she looks at it:
Local journalism makes a difference. Support us by registering at insideottawavalley.com everyone needs to be doing it imperfectly rather than a few people doing it perfectly. Mitchell-Adams said going low and zero-waste isn't as accessible as it could be, but there are things people can do to start down the path, which, she said, might be even more realistic for people living in the country. Mitchell-Adams said in rural communities people who have space can start their own compost, grow food in their gardens and
raise chickens, where there is amicable zoning. They're also close to farmers who they can buy meat and produce from directly at farmers' market with no to little packaging. Aside from those tips, MitchellAdams said in addition to your usual reusable shopping bags, you can start small by purchasing mesh bags to put your fruits and veggies when doing your regular shopping at the grocery store instead of opting for the single-use plastic bags in the produce
section. Mitchell-Adams also suggests the book Zero Waste Home as a good resource to get you going. Both women who have adopted a zero-waste lifestyle say, while you definitely need to plan ahead, it's possible to do - even when you have children and live in a small town. Barb Hicks, president of the Rideau Environmental Action League, said that while the zero-waste movement has its merits to help people reduce the amount of waste being produced and sent to landfill, the extreme nature of the movement can make it unreachable and intimidating for some. Hicks, who has been involved with REAL since its inception 30 years ago, has seen environmental trends come and go. She cautions
that some people might be turned off of the zero-waste movement because they don't think it's attainable. So, instead of doing anything, they freeze, think it's hopeless, and don't change their behaviour. Instead, Hicks recommends that people make small changes that will become a habit - including being more diligent about recycling, consciously picking up items that aren't single use and have low-waste packaging and starting to compost at home, if you can, to divert food waste from landfill. Hicks points out that although people can make strides to reduce their waste, there is also a role for larger grocery stores, which most people rely on to purchase their everyday items, to play to bring in more products that have
reduced packaging or none at all. While some grocery chains in the U.K. have begun to bring in more products with plant-based packaging, Canadian companies lag behind. So, while there might still be big barriers at the large chain stores, there is a massive opportunity for those of us living in rural communities to get conscious about waste and use the space and resources uniquely available in our communities.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
With the zero-waste movement taking off across the country, The Record News wanted to find out from those living the lifestyle in rural communities how they do it.

STOREY, Barbara Edna
Retired Elementary School Teacher with the North York Board of Education and long-time volunteer at Southlake RHC Newmarket, passed away peacefully in Smith Falls Hospital on April 2 surrounded by her family. Beloved wife of the late Frank Storey, mother of Mark Mulrenin and Paul Storey, mother in law to Barb Mulrenin, grandmother to Lauren (Glenn McCaig) and Colin Mulrenin (Marisha Laine) and Keegan Meyers (Misha Smart). Great-grandmother to Cooper Meyers-Smart. Loving friend of Sharon Graydon. Sadly missed by all of the Doherty family, and relatives in England. Barbara and her family emigrated to Canada in 1964 settling in the Toronto area and were later joined by her parents John and Grace Braun. She loved music and sang in her father’s big band during the war. She participated in amateur dramatics in England and was most recently on stage in Keswick Ontario. Barbara took an early retirement from teaching to spend time with her husband Frank and they enjoyed activities and travel with Frank’s fellow retirees from Ontario Hydro. Following her grand-daughter Lauren and partner Glenn McCaig’s purchase of a farm in Elizabethtown-Kitley, and son Mark and wife Barb moving to Smiths Falls, Barbara chose to enter the Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence in September and had many happy memories of the people and activities there. Many thanks to Smiths Falls Hospital 2nd floor for the superlative care which she received. Thanks also to the staff at Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence. A Celebration of Barbara’s life will take place on Friday April 26, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Taylor Funeral Home in Newmarket.

Last but certainly not least, Steacy awarded student pins to the auxiliary's student volunteers: Anne Marie Arcand, Charbel El Samra, Marcus Luberto, and Siobhan Jennings. Arcand was on hand to accept her pin in person. Following the presentations, the event's attendees were treated to an exciting live musical performance by approximately 40 drama students from North Grenville District High School. With their teacher Meredith Island-Mott looking on, the students presented several scenes from their latest production, Disney's Beauty and Beast, slated for May 16 and 18 at the high school. The final speaker of the day was Lana LeClair, KDH's vice-president of corporate services and the hospital's senior leader for the volunteer program. She expressed gratitude to everybody who had helped make this year's Volunteer Appreciation Tea so memorable, including NGDHS's talented students and AJ's Catering. The event wrapped up with LeClair's statement that "this opportunity to recognize the contributions of our volunteers is one of the most important events in the annual life of KDH." The KDH Auxiliary is currently seeking volunteers for Hey Day, its annual giant indoor garage sale to be held June 7 and 8. Potential volunteers and donors may contact Jolene Stover at 613-558-1761.

by 81 people volunteering on-site at the hospital, 38 members of the Acton's Corners unit, and an additional 140 individuals who volunteered at Hey Day, the KDH auxiliary's major annual fundraiser. Steacy had the enjoyable task of presenting a number of volunteer awards. First, she handed out certificates of appreciation to Johanna Kuntz, for her dedication to ensuring Comfort Dolls are available to children visiting KDH, to Linda Carnegie (in absentia), for co-ordinating last fall's Bridal High Tea, and to Barb Keleman (in absentia) and Joyce Seguin for longstanding service to the Acton's Corners unit. Next, Steacy presented "V" (for Volunteer) pins as follows: To Connie Parsons and Belle Severn, for achieving 1,000 hours of active volunteer service; to Jolene Stover, for four years of service on the executive committee; and to the following members who did not receive a V pin in 2016 Betty Beach (in absentia), Ina Dyks, Ruth Earl, Mae Fairfield, Marguerite Gooch, and herself. Outstanding service awards were then bestowed on the following members: Connie Parsons, for her service as past president; Jolene Stover, for four years of co-ordinating Hey Day; and Joan and Frank Gallagher and Sylvia Johnston (in absentia), for 15 years of active volunteer service as of 2018. Steacy next announced retirement certificates for Sylvia Johnston and Harry Tarr, for 16 and 14 years, respectively, of active volunteer service.

Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) honoured its dedicated volunteers on Thursday, April 11 at a wellattended Volunteer Appreciation Tea held, according to tradition, during National Volunteer Week. After event organizer and staff co-ordinator of volunteers Emilee VanderHoek had welcomed the dozens of members of the KDH Auxiliary to the North Grenville Municipal Centre, Frank J. Vassallo, KDH's CEO, stepped up to the microphone. "Day after day, I am humbled by your compassion, dedication and energy," he began. He thanked the volunteers for choosing KDH to be the recipient of the gift of their time; he also expressed the hospital's gratitude for their fundraising efforts, which resulted in a recent annual donation in the amount of $70,000. "You work tirelessly to raise money for essential medical equipment that KDH otherwise would not be able to afford," he stated. "Your efforts mean that our care teams have the tools they need to do their jobs to the best of their ability." "The auxiliary has played a critical role in building this hospital and making it what it is today and it's hard to imagine what KDH would be like without the auxiliary and all of our volunteers," Vassallo concluded. Brenda Steacy, president of the KDH Auxiliary, then took to the podium, noting that volunteers at KDH had set a record in 2018, donating a grand total of 14,117 hours! This feat was achieved

LOCAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION PLANNING KEMPTVILLE'S FIRST PRIDE EVENT Continued from page 3
ing the rainbow flag last year, Brown said she received positive feedback from several former North Grenville residents who no longer live in the area as they felt their sexual orientation or gender would be better supported in a larger community. They were surprised to see the municipality acknowledging and supporting the local LGBTQ2+ community where they once did not feel accepted. Brown said she's received a lot of interest from people who are excited to participate in the Pride event, which will include a parade from the Kemptville Campus Education and Community Hub to Riverside Park. Rainbow Union will be launching an outreach campaign soon to invite the public to join in the celebrations. There will be Kemptville Pride stickers for local businesses to display in their windows, as well as large and small lawn signs for sale to help fund the event. Smiths Falls, Perth, and Brockville also host Pride events during the month of June. To learn more about Rainbow Union and stay up-to-date on Pride event plans, follow Rainbow Union, Dundas and Grenville on Facebook.
