A communiy with a rich history STAR STAFF — The community of Orléans is made up of a collection of neighbourhoods in Ottawa’s far east end.

Neighbourhoods such as Convent Glen, Orleans Wood, Chapel Hill, Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook and Chatelaine Village were formally part of the municipalities of Gloucester and Cumberland. In fact, the border between the two former cities ran through the centre of what, over the years, came to be known as Orléans.

The name Orléans was given to the community by Jean-Théodore Besserer who was the first postmaster of Orléans in 1860. Besserer was born on the Île d’Orléans in Québec and so he gave the fledgling community the name of his native island.

Originally, the name “Orléans” comes from a city of the same name in France which is the birthplace of Joan of Arc. The community started out as the

Parish of St. Joseph de Gloucester in 1860. The first known settlers to the area were François Dupuis, a veteran of the War of 1812, and Joseph Vézina, also known as Viseneau, who arrived in the area about 30 years before it became a parish. Other early settlers included the Major, Besserer and Duford families. The first anglophone families to settle in the area were the McNeelys and the Kennys.

In 1860, Father Alphonse-Marius Chaîne was appointed resident priest of the new Saint-Joseph d’Orléans parish.

Construction of the first church was completed in 1885.

It had to be demolished in 1920 for structural reasons and a new church was erected on the same site over the next two years.

In 1922, the Police Village of Orléans was formed with a council consisting of three volunteers elected to preserve peace, health and public safety. At that time, the

municipality of Cumberland.

In 1954, the Villa Saint-Louis, a nursing home for about 90 sisters of the Grey Nuns of the Cross (Sisters of Charity of Ottawa), was built close to the Ottawa River. Two years later, in May 1956, a CF-100 fighter aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force fell 30,000 feet, crashing into the Villa at about 700 miles an hour.

In 1930, the Police Village borrowed $3,800 to build a sidewalk from Champlain Street to Cousineau Street. And in 1957 the Village Council successfully petitioned to have the name of Ottawa Street changed to St. Joseph Blvd.

The Police Village was eventually abolished in 1974 and Orléans was left divided – one half in the municipality of Gloucester and the other half in the

Fuel and ammunition aboard the jet fighter exploded and shook the entire village of Orléans. The building burst into flames leaving 15 people dead, including 11 nuns and the two pilots. The exact cause of the accident was never discovered.

The community was hit by a second tragedy in February 1982 when the Orléans Hotel located on St. Joseph Blvd. was completely destroyed by fire.

The fire started at 2 a.m. on an intensely cold night which resulted in many fire hoses being frozen thus creating difficult conditions for the firefighters.

The Jardin Royal seniors residence now sits on where the hotel used to be.

In its earliest days – and right up until the mid-20th century – Orléans was a predominantly French-speaking community. In 1849 the population of the area was approximately 50 people.

Within 50 years the area would see the construction of its first hotel, its first post office and its first school. But it wasn’t until the 1980s that the community really boomed.

During the early to mid ‘80s, Orléans was the fastest growing community in

Canada. Over that period the population almost doubled. Today, Orléans is home to more than 115,000 inhabitants. The commute into Ottawa can take between 15 minutes from Trim Road in the east end of Orléans during non-rush hour periods to about 30 minutes during rush hour.

The community has a number of stateof-the-art recreation facilities such as the Ray Friel Centre and the Millennium Sports Park, modern library services, a wonderful arts facility in the Shenkman

Arts Centre, top notch secondary and elementary schools, a network of strong minor sports organizations, a thriving arts and culture community, dozens of parks including Petrie Island, and kilometres and kilometres of bike paths.

Construction of the highly anticipated Orléans Health Hub is scheduled to begin next spring at the corner of Mer Bleue Road and Brian Coburn Blvd., and Phase 2 of the light rail project will see LRT extended from Gloucester Centre to Trim Road.

Ottawa’s longest-running independent Optical group Home of Ottawa’s Best 2-for-1 Shareable Offer on Brand Name Eyewear “Remaining independent brings substantial benefits to consumers,” says Alex. “We have a much better selection of products and because of our close connection with our customers, we know what they are looking for.”

Recently, we spoke with Alex Grieb of Capital Optical about the well-known Ottawa business.

Q. What are the benefits of being an independent business?

A. Being a locally owned and operated practice means we can deliver more cutting-edge fashion for frames and definitely the latest, in lens technologies. This also means we can host special events like our Trunk Shows and brand launches, which our staff loves to do, and our clientele loves to be a part of! The energy from these events brings the fun back into what we do on a daily basis and is part of how we distinguish ourselves from the rest of the chains.

Today, Capital Optical has five locations, including two right in Ottawa, one in the suburb of Orléans and one in nearby Carleton Place. The fifth shop opened July 2016 in Kanata.

The genesis of Capital Optical dates back to the early 1950s when German immigrant Konstantin Grieb opened an optical store on Montreal’s St Laurent Blvd.

Konstantin’s son Alex followed in his father’s footsteps decades later, becoming a licensed optician in 1981.

Four years later, Capital Optical was founded in Ottawa.

They are best known for their 2-for-1 program. It’s a flexible buy-one-get-one-free program on frames and lenses, including HD Progressives. Clients can get two pairs of eyeglasses for themselves or even share the deal with another family member. All lenses with coatings and many frames too, come with a full two-year warranty.

Just like Alex did in the ’80s, his eldest son Greg has also journeyed down the path blazed by his father. Greg is now a third-generation optician, licensed in 2007, who now is taking over the family business once his father enters semi-retirement.

Both Alex and Greg say they are fiercely proud of maintaining their independence in a sector which has undergone considerable consolidation over the past decade.

Q. What are the primary brand names your store features?

A. We carry many brand-name collections that are part of our 2-for-1 program, such as Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, Jimmy Choo, Ray-Ban, Carrera, Guess, Gant, Tommy Hilfiger and now rag & bone NY. We have an inclination to bring in lesser-known boutique designers too with a great selection of frames from France, Germany, Japan and Italy. We enjoy attending the international conventions in search of quality and the latest fashions.

A company that traces its origins to a modest optical shop in Montreal is now a five-location business that has earned the title of the Ottawa region’s longest-running independently owned and operated optical.

We like to think we have a better understanding of what our clients are looking for. We can introduce the latest in our industry, quicker than the large chains do. Since we believe in service, we’ve had onsite edging labs in most locations as well as eye exams by doctors. We can compete with the “1 Hour glasses” down the hall. Generally, we deliver quicker than the chains do because of the local lab affiliation. This reduces delays from purchasing lenses from out of town sources.

Providing a strong voice on city council

14 • August 2, 2018 • Volume 33, No. 6

STAR STAFF — The east end is well represented on city council by a group of councillors who often refer to themselves as the “Eastern Block”.

Between light rail expansion, road repairs, parks, and development, the four city councillors have been a driving force behind the positive change for our community.

The east end is divided into four wards, each with a municipal representative: Orléans Ward Councillor Bob Monette, Cumberland Ward Councillor Stephen Blais, Innes Ward Councillor Jody Mitic and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward Councillor Tim Tierney.

Councillor Bob Monette is responsible for one of the city’s largest wards, Orléans.

It comprises the central core of the suburb, including Fallingbrook, Queenswood Heights, Orleans Wood, Convent Glen, Chatelaine Village and Springridge.

Monette is planning to retire this fall after a lengthy political career that saw him serve a total of 15 years on council.

Over the years the veteran councillor has been the driving force in bringing several festivals to the east end, including Carivibe and the Orléans Ribfest, and he has been working hard to bring economic development and jobs to the local community such as Petrie’s Landing III. Councillor Stephen Blais was reelected for a second term in 2014 and he plans to run again this fall. He represents Cumberland Ward on city council, which takes in the former municipality of Cumberland as well as South Fallingbrook, Avalon and Notting Hill.

Blais’ biggest accomplishment during the past term was in working with other

local politicians in convincing Amazon to build a new distribution centre near Carlsbad Springs which will bring 600 new jobs to the area. He also secured the necessary funding to complete parks in Cardinal Creek and Avalon.

Since first getting elected to city councillor in 2014, Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic has commissioned a study to extend Brian Coburn Blvd. to Renaud Road, and he secured an important study to renovate and expand the aging Blackburn Arena.

Innes Ward is a large district encompassing Blackburn Hamlet, Chateauneuf, Chapel Hill, Chapel South, and Bradley Estates.

Unfortunately, Mitic has decided to step down to deal with some personal and family issues and he will not be running in this fall’s municipal election.

Councillor Tim Tierney was first elected to represent Beacon Hill-Cyrville in 2010 when he defeated long-time councillor Michel Bellemare.

One of Tierney’s proudest accomplishments was in having the aging Potvin Arena replaced by the state-of-the-art Richcraft Sensplex in 2014.

It is clear that even though all four councillors represent different ridings, they stand behind the mantra that joining forces and working together as a team is key to making sure the east end gets its fair share.

The perfect example of their efforts has been in convincing their council colleagues to extend light rail to Trim Road as part of the second phase of the massive project.

Construction of the extension, which will run down the middle of Hwy. 174,

From left to right, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward Coun. Tim Tierney, Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic, Cumberland Ward Coun. Stephen Blais and Orléans Ward Coun. Bob Monette have all worked together with Mayor Jim Watson (centre) to look after the interests of east end residents. FILE PHOTO will begin as soon as Phase 1 is completed in 2019.

All four east end councillors make a concerted effort to be as approachable and helpful to their constituents as possible and they often rely on their staff to make sure issues raised by their constituents are address in a timely manner. Their office numbers and e-mail addresses are as follows...

Bob Monette, 613-580-2471 E-mail: Bob.Monette@ottawa.ca Stephen Blais, 613-580-2489 Stephen.Blais@ottawa.ca

Jody Mitic, 613-580-2472 Jody.Mitic@ottawa.ca Tim Tierney, 613-580-2481 Tim.Tierney@ottawa..ca General inquiries can be made by calling 613-580-2424 or 3-1-1.

With the municipal election looming on the horizon and two of the four local councilors stepping down, interest in the campaign is at an all-time high. No fewer than 19 candidates have registered to run in Orléans Ward to replace Monette and four candidates have registered in Innes ward. For additional information visit www.ottawa.ca.

Federal and provincial representatives STAR STAFF — Not only are our municipal elected officials a united team, our federal and provincial representatives are also on the same page when it comes to working hard for the east end.

Since first getting elected to the House of Commons as a member of the Liberal Party in 2015, Andrew Leslie has been splitting his time between attending local events and fulfilling his duties as the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

In the latter role, Leslie has been charged with building ties with the Trump administration south of the border.

Recently re-elected for a second term, Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde is still adjusting well to life as an Opposition member after the Liberals were defeated by the Progressive Conservative party in the last election.

Prior to the spring election, Lalonde was able to announce that the Orléans Health Hub project had entered the Request for Proposal phase during which

a company will be selected to build the actual health hub.

If everything goes according to plan construction could begin as early as next spring.

Leslie and Lalonde each played a key role in getting their respective governments to commit $1.125 billion to Phase 2 of the LRT project, including the all-important extension from the originally planned terminus at Place d’Orléans to Trim Road.

The pair also joined forces in securing funding for a fully accessible playground to be built at the Miracle League park on Navan Road and they joined with the east end’s city councillors in welcoming the news that online retail giant Amazon will be establishing a distribution centre in the area.

As the former Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, Lalonde oversaw the initial phase of plans to build a new regional detention centre to replace the current facility on Innes Road which

is often overcrowded. The province has yet to unveil either a new location, or a timeline for the project.

Since the provincial election in June, Lalonde has been busy meeting with constituents.

More than 150 people attended her annual Strawberry Social on June 26, and many more stopped by her tent during the Petrie Island Canada Day Celebration.

Still to come is her annual Community Corn Roast and BBQ which will take place on Aug. 16, also on Petrie Island, and traditional attracts hundred of people.

Lalonde is also hugely proud of the Leading Women, Leading Girls program which recognizes outstanding females across the riding and the province at large in conjunction with International Women’s Day in March.

A great place for an active lifestyle

16 • August 2, 2018 • Volume 33, No. 6

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Whether you bike, run, swim or play tennis, Orléans is a great place to pursue an active lifestyle and stay in shape.

It’s no secret that Orléans is home to dozens of neighbourhood parks, but what is less commonly known is that they are connected by more than 50 kms of pathways that are shared by pedestrians and cyclists alike.

One of the more popular pathways runs along the Ottawa River from Petrie Island to Parliament Hill and further west all the way to Lincoln Fields.

During the summer months cyclists can enjoy NOKIA Sunday Bikedays during which the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway is closed to motorists from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to allow the free flow of bicycles. The Parkway can be accessed at St. Joseph Blvd. near Green’s Creek.

Dog owners should be aware that not all local parks are open to their pets. While dogs must be kept on a leash at most parks in the east end, they are prohibited at some parks, and allowed to run free at still other parks designated “off leash”.

You can check a park’s designation by visiting ottawa.ca and running a search using the words Dogs In Parks.

One recreation area where dogs are strictly prohibited is Petrie Island.

Created in 2004 where once a sand dredging operation existed, Petrie Island has become a recreation jewel with its two supervised beaches, nature trails and ecological reserve.

The island, which can be accessed by a causeway at the northern end of Trim Road, is home to the Orléans Canada Day Celebration and the Carivibe festival held every June. It’s also a popular destination for kayakers and canoeists who can paddle around the island and explore its many coves and inlets.

If you don’t own your own kayak or canoe, you can rent one at the Oziles Marina and Tackle Shop which is located on the causeway as you approach the island. Oziles also rents paddle boards, jet skis and paddle boats. Petrie Island is also a popular location for ice fishing enthusiasts during the winter months.

If swimming is your thing, Orléans is home to three indoor pools including the recently renovated wave pool at the Ray Friel Centre.

The Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex on Youville Drive houses a 25-metre pool that is shared by the Gloucester Synchro Club and the Ottawa

Orléans’ newest pool opened last year at the corner of Portobello and Brian Coburn Boulevards in Avalon. The François Dupuis Recreation Centre is open to the public during weekdays as well as on the weekend.

Orléans is also home to vast network of playgrounds and splash pads, the

biggest ones of which are located at the Millennium Sports Park on Trim Road.

Tennis courts can also be found in literally every neighbourhood in Orléans as can outdoor skating rinks which are depending on the weather.

Finally, one of the best kept secrets in the east end is the Bearbrook Outdoor Pool located next to Emily Carr Middle School in Blackburn Hamlet.

Providing a helping hand in times of crisis STAR STAFF — Like many other bedroom communities in Canada, Orléans has its share of residents who, for various reasons, need help in times of crisis.

Whether they are the victims of domestic abuse, are new arrivals to Canada, or are experiencing financial hardship, residents in need have not one, but two agencies they can turn to in the east end.

The Orléans Cumberland Community Resource Centre, located on Centrum Blvd., serves residents living in the former municipality of Cumberland which includes Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook, Cardinal Creek, Orleans Wood, Chatelaine Village and Avalon, while the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre serves residents living in the former municipality of Gloucester, which includes the communities of Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, Chateauneuf, Chapel Hill, and Convent Glen.

Both agencies provide services and programs for youth, teenagers and families and both agencies operate an Early Years drop-in centre. In addition, the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre provides services and programs for seniors and adults with physical disabilities in both

jurisdictions including Meals on Wheels.

The Orléans Cumberland Community Resource Centre also operates a food bank which provides emergency food supplies meant to last for 2-4 days. Families are limited to one visit per month.

The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre refers individuals and families in need of emergency food supplies to the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard located at 2040 Arrowsmith Dr. which operates under the same rules.

Both resources centres are able to provide services to residents in need thanks in large part to the generosity and dedication of dozens donors, and community groups which hold fundraising events throughout the year.

The single biggest donor to the Orléans Cumberland foodbank are the students at St. Peter Catholic High School who collect tens of thousands of food items during their annual Canley Cup food drive every spring.

The OCCRC has several programs in which local businesses and individuals can contribute directly to the agency, the biggest being the Community Caring Connection program in which donors can either make a lump some donation, or a

The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre is located in the Gloucester Shopping Centre on Ogilvie Road. Like the OCCRC they are largely dependent on third party fundraising efforts. They also organize their own fundraising events, the

biggest of which is their charity auction and dinner held every spring.

Francophone institutions flourish in Orléans STAR STAFF — From it’s earliest days, Orléans has always been proud of its francophone heritage.

In the 2016 Census, over 30 per cent of Orléans residents indicated French as their mother tongue with many more identifying themselves as Francophiles, or possessing the ability to speak and understand French.

It is this bilingual character which makes Orléans so special.

The francophone community in Orléans has worked hard to establish and maintain key institutions like the Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO) and the Rendez-vous des aînés francophones d’Ottawa (RAFO).

Founded in 1983, MIFO is the cultural wellspring of the local francophone population in Orléans. The organization provides a wealth of programs and community services including seniors programs; summer camps; and a beforeand after-school program.

The MIFO cultural centre on Carrière Street is home to the Centre SéraphinMarion d’Orléans which provides activities for francophone seniors.

MIFO is also responsible for bringing French language performers, comedians and theatre performances to the Shenkman

Arts Centre.

Rendez-vous des aînés francophones d’Ottawa is a seniors club for francophones located at 3499 Navan Rd. The club offers a variety of activities throughout the week, as well as special events and outings.

One of their more popular activities is their Sunday breakfast and their Tuesday and Thursday lunches.

Another important francophone institution in Orléans is the Société francoontarienne du patrimoine et de l’histoire d’Orléans, or SFOPHO for short.

The group is responsible for convincing the city to name many of the local streets and parks after important francophone figures who played an key role in building the community.

They also joined forces with the Heart of Orléans BIA to establish a series of 27 historic plaques along St-Joseph Boulevard marking buildings and places of historic importance.

While MIFO is the wellspring of francophone culture in Orléans and SFOPHO is the guardians of its heritage, the Église Saint-Joseph d’Orléans is it’s heart and soul.

The existing church at 2757 St-Joseph Blvd. was completed in 1922 to replace the

Providing services for the east end’s seniors STAR STAFF — With eight different retirement residences in Orléans and Blackburn Hamlet, seniors looking to downsize and move into a retirement community have a lot to chose from.

Symphony Senior Living Orleans on Lumberman Way is one of the oldest retirement residences in the area offering independent and assisted living.

Amica Bearbrook in Blackburn Hamlet also has a reputation for providing quality care for its residents.

Francophone seniors tend to gravitate to the Résidence St-Louis on Hiawatha Park Road and the Village Bruyère which has independent apartments and assisted living units.

The Jardin Royal, located on St. Joseph Blvd., and the Chartwell Belcourt Manor on nearby Belcourt Blvd. are both bilingual facilities, as are the Portobello Manor in Fallingbrook and the Queenswood Villa in Queenswood Heights which are both owned and operated by Revera Retirement Living.

Alavida’s La Promenade is located at the north end of Tenth Line Road and has a beautiful view of the Ottawa River and Gatineau Hills.

Symphony Senior Living’s Forest Valley Terrace, located on a hill over-looking St. Joseph Blvd., offers specialized care for residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

For seniors in need of long-term care there is the Madonna Nursing Home at 1541 St. Joseph Blvd. which is owned and operated by Sienna Senior Living.

For seniors who chose to remain in their own homes, the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre provides support services such as Meals on Wheels and transportation to medical appointments and other essential services.

The EORC’s mission is to support older adults and adults with physical disabilities live independent, active, and meaningful lives in their community.

Seniors in the east end also have the benefit of two established seniors clubs.

The Gloucester Senior Adult Centre is located at 2020 Ogilvie Road above the Earl Armstrong Arena.

The centre provides social recreational programming for adults 50 and over.

Seniors can take courses in painting, exercise, computers, Internet, line dancing, tai chi and more. Activities and

games include card games of all types, carpet bowling, darts, curolling, quilting, sand-bag baseball, pétanque-atout, and the list goes on. A hot nutritious lunch is available daily and a sit down hot dinner every Thursday at noon. A blood pressure clinic and foot care clinic are also available through the centre.

The same services and programs are provided by the Rendez-vous des aînés francophones d’Ottawa which serves

Meeting the needs of local bike enthusiasts STAR STAFF – When it comes ti all things on two wheels, the folks at Wheelsport on Youville Drive have been meeting the needs of motorcycle enthusiasts in the east end for more than 45 years.

Founded by Fred Kolman in 1972, the very first Wheelsport was located at Montreal and Blair Roads. When Fred’s son Jim took over the business in 2000, they moved to their current location on Youville Drive and haven’t looked back.

Over 80 per cent of the company’s business comes from repeat customers.

“We have customers who are on their fourth or fifth bike,” says Jim Kolman, “and now their kids are buying bikes from us.”

The progression from one generation to the next is even reflected in the Kolman family. Jim’s son Benjamin started working at the dealership two years ago and is now heavily involved in the store’s marketing.

Wheelsport specializes in the KTM line of bikes, but they also sell Yamaha and Suzuki motorcycles and ATVs, as well as Vespa scooters.

The Kolman family are also huge offroad, dirt bike enthusiasts, which explains the vast selection of off-road bikes they

have in their showroom.

Wheelsport also buys and sells preowned bikes and they have an extensive selection of accessories and clothing.

Asked how the east end motorcycle community has evolved over the years, Kolman is quick to point to the increasing number of women who have taken up the pasttime.

“The number of women who have gotten into motorcycling has really grown, especially in Orléans,” says Kolman. “And they’re different than men. They’re a lot more detail oriented, so we have all the different colours and models and we try to accommodate them as best we can.”

The folks at Wheelsport have also seen an increase in more mature riders who are getting into motorcycling in their mid to late 50s.

Besides sales, Wheelsport is the place to =go for service and repairs on virtually every type of model. They have the equipment and experience to get your motorcycle/scooter, ATV, snowmobile and UTV in prime shape, whether you’re riding for pleasure, racing around the track, or tearing it up on the trail. They can do oil changes, tire changes and safety checks while you wait, and they

Over the past 45 years, Wheelsport has become an institution among the hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts living in the east end. Their showroom is located at 1390 Youville Dr. in Orléans. STAFF PHOTO have a pick up and delivery service for those larger jobs.

Finally, winter is still a long way off, but it’s good to know that Wheelsport carries the complete line of Ariens snowblowers.

In fact, they were the very first Ariens dealer in Ottawa, dating back to the store’s

Pop up patio furniture store a first in Orléans STAR STAFF – When the folks at Club Piscine were looking for a location for a pop up store in the east end, Orléans seemed an obvious choice. After all, there is no shortage of pools and patios in the area. And when you own a pool, or design a patio, it’s only a matter of time before you have to add some outdoor furniture.

Club Piscine specializes in outdoor furniture that’s a step beyond what’s being offered by the big box stores.

Whether it’s a new gazebo, an outdoor dining set, or a cantilever umbrella, Club Piscine has a large selection from which to choose from at their main store at West Hunt Club and Merivale Road. In fact, Club Piscine is the largest retailer of pools, spas, patio furniture and gazebos in Canada.

If you’re one of the few people who has left their patio furniture purchase to late in the season you’re in luck.

Everything at the Club Piscine pop up store at 1777 Tenth Line Road is priced for clearance, with deals of up to 50 per cent off and in some cases more.

Owners Gina and Tania Ravenda say the reaction of Orléans homeowners to the pop up store has been nothing short of spectacular.

“Our sales are way ahead of what we projected,” says Ravenda. “A lot people have been coming in and saying how great it is that we are in Orléans because the selection in the larger box stores is so limited. They are also happy they don’t have to travel Nepean or Gatineau.

So honestly it’s been going really, really well.”

Club Piscine is a Quebec-based company with 42 stores in both Quebec and Ontario. That number of stores gives the franchisees a great deal of purchasing power which allows them to offer patio furniture at competitive prices.

“It’s very good quality and we strive to offer something for every budget,” says Ravenda. “It’s something we take a lot of pride in.”

The company’s motto is, “We love creating backyard spaces where family and friends can create lasting memories.”

If you haven’t updated your patio furniture yet you might want to visit the pop up store sooner rather than later.

The store is scheduled to close on Aug, 19, and selection is growing more and more limited with each passing day so Ravenda advises that the sooner people drop by the better.

There is only three weeks left before the Club Piscine pop up store on Tenth Line Road will close for the season. Everything is priced to store with deals of up to 50 per cent off or higher. STAFF PHOTO As for their plans for next year, Ravenda’s goal is to one day open a permanent location in Orléans that will offer more than just patio furniture. As for whether or not that will happen in 2019 or not remains to be seen.

If they don’t open a permanent location,

A great place for minor sports

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Orléans has a rich history when it comes to minor sports. In fact, a number of local teams have won provincial and national championships in virtually every discipline.

The Cumberland United Soccer Club has programs for every age group and skill level. FILE PHOTO Most recently the Orleans Red Sox Senior Little League team won the provincial championship and the Cumberland Panthers bantam varsity team won the Ontario Provincial Football East Conference championship and made it all the way to the league championship game before losing to the Essex Ravens in a hard fought battle.

Orléans has also produced a number of athletes over the years who have gone on to have successful professional careers.

Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux played two years with the Cumberland Barons and a year with the Cumberland Jr. Grads before going on to successful career in the QMJHL. Cody Ceci (Ottawa Senators), Erik Gudbranson (Vancouver Canucks), and Jason Akeson (previously with the Philadelphia Flyers), all got their start playing minor hockey in Orléans, while future Hall of Fame coach Claude Julien grew up in the area.

While not actually from Orléans, Navan native Érik Bédard played Little League baseball with the Orleans Red Sox and was a member of the 1992 team that won the Canadian Junior Little League championship.

After being drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 1999, Bédard spent 13 seasons in the Major Leagues, playing on six different teams. He retired in 2014 with a career win-loss record of 71-82.

On the football field, Cumberland Panthers product Brendan Gillanders is currently playing for the Ottawa Redblacks, while Gloucester Hornets alum Jamar Dixon is playing on the soccer pitch for the Ottawa Fury.

Orléans has also produced a trio of Olympians. Fallingbrook resident and Ottawa Lions member Segun Makinde was an alternate on the 4x100 relay team at the 2014 Olympics in Rio de Janiero and speed skaters Ivanie Blondin and Vincent

The Millennium Sports Park is home to both the Cumberland Panthers and the Orléans Bengals Football Clubs as well as the Cumberland United Soccer Club. de Haitre represented Canada at the 2016 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Who knows how many future stars are playing hockey at the Ray Friel Centre, kicking a soccer ball around the Hornet’s Nest, or breaking tackles at the Millennium Sports Park.

Whether your son or daughter is interested in basketball, hockey, soccer, football, Ultimate Frisbee, figure skating, baseball, ringette, or lacrosse, there is a local association that would welcome them with open arms.

A complete list of minor sports associations serving the Orléans area can be found on pages 24-25 .
