COVER

St. Albert’s Arden Theatre is celebrating its 30th anniversary season with a lineup of music, dance and comedy that’s fit to hang in a gallery — including acts like the Barra MacNeils, Royal Wood, Fatoumata Diawara and Sloan. See story, page 19.

BY THE NUMBERS

254 km/h That’s how fast one leadfooted driver was clocked going on Anthony Henday Drive in a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu around 2 a.m. Friday. Edmonton police began pursuing the vehicle, with assistance from the Air1 helicopter, until it crashed near Range Road 261 and Township Road 514. A 19-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries, while the 27-year-old driver fled on foot but was tracked down a few hours later.

Volunteer named Young Achiever

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

A young St. Albert volunteer now has an international award to go along with the local ones she has racked up so far this year. Katie Fitzgerald, 15, who is going into Grade 11 this fall at Paul Kane High School, has already taken home a Leaders of Tomorrow award and an International Women’s Day award from the Baha’i Community of St. Albert in 2013. But, on Saturday, she topped those with the Young Achiever Award from the International Leadership Network, becoming the first Canadian student and one of 28 from across North America to win the honour. “It’s a huge honour,” said Fitzgerald, who was nominated for the award by her mother. “I wasn’t expecting it. It was really, really cool to get.” Even cooler was being the only recipient north of the 49th parallel. “It makes me proud to be Canadian,” she said.

While all 28 were recognized as Young Achievers, Fitzgerald was one of just three students to receive a $500 cash prize in recognition of special accomplishments. Fitzgerald is involved in a number of organizations in the Capital Region. She helped create a year-round bottle drive for the Second Chance Animal Rescue Society, participated in the Raise the Roof event for Homeless Connect, and has volunteered for many local events, including the RunWild marathon, the Kids of Steel triathlon, the Walk In Her Shoes program, Family Day festivities, the River Valley Picnic and many others. She is also a member of the Building Assets and Memories (BAM) youth group run by the City of St. Albert. While she doesn’t volunteer for awards like this one, Fitzgerald said it is nice to be recognized once in a while. “That’s not the reason I do it; that’s just a cool plus that comes with it,” she said.

Brodhead not ready to retire from council GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Wes Brodhead has retired from his day job, but he’s hoping to continue his work on St. Albert city council. Brodhead announced Monday evening that he will be seeking a second term on council in this October’s municipal

election, although it was something he wasn’t sure about until he retired from his position as director of bus operations with the Edmonton Transit Service in April. “When I ran the last time, always in the back of my mind was this date when I could retire, and then how I saw my future on council would determine whether or not I would retire,” said Brodhead, who was with ETS for more than 30 years. “So about in October of last year, I realized it was very difficult to have a fulltime job — particularly the one I had — and then be a councillor and do both jobs well. ... Now I can commit to [council] full-time.” Brodhead was first elected in 2010, coming in fifth among 13 candidates and garnering 6,467 votes. He also ran unsuccessfully for a spot on council in 2007. Over the last term, Brodhead said he’s proud of what he and his fellow councillors have been able to accomplish, particularly when it comes to commercial development. “We’ve got Costco coming

on, Target is in the community, and we’ve got some development north of Riverside Honda. There’s been a lot of progress over the last three years, and I only see that continuing,” he said. “I think I can bring leadership to make sure the growth, as it occurs, conforms with the standards we here in St. Albert have grown used to.”

“Now I can commit to [council] full-time.” Wes Brodhead Incumbent councillor But there are other issues that he still wants to deal with, the most important of which to him is the cessation of train whistles within city limits. “The Levasseur crossing, if St. Albert goes it alone, it’s a $400,000 hit. But if Transport Canada and CN Rail come alongside, it’s a $50,000 hit. The difference is significant and it’s worthy to ask them to re-assess,”

Brodhead said. “From that perspective, we need to take the time to get that done.” Also dear to Brodhead’s heart is the issue of seniors’ housing, as evidenced by his involvement with the Sturgeon Foundation. “Seniors’ housing, going into the future, is an ever-expanding market — particularly in St. Albert, because of the community strength we have here, but also because we have an active hospital,” he said. “Seniors want to come here because of the amenities, but because of the health care as well, and it’s close to where they live. The demand for housing here in St. Albert is more acute than in other areas served by the Sturgeon Foundation.” Brodhead also wants to see a site found for a bike skills park, upgrades to stormwater outfalls into the Sturgeon River, funds set aside for the Grey Nuns White Spruce Park management plan, and plans made to advance the historical French farmstead project, all while continuing to celebrate and sustain the city’s volunteer spirit.

ISSUES

Synthetic Ice Trial

Municipal Gov’t Act Review

Community Capital Grant Application

Seniors Assisted Living - 20 Hebert Rd.

WHY IT MATTERS

Council voted Monday on a motion to split the $20,000 cost of bringing in a synthetic ice surface for a trial at Servus Credit Union Place with the St. Albert Minor Hockey Association.

With the first review of the Municipal Government Act in 17 years underway, council voted Monday to authorize the mayor to send a letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs outlining the City of St. Albert’s comments.

Council voted Monday to approve a grant of $60,000 toward a new playground at J.J. Nearing Catholic Elementary School. The new playground is being spearheaded by the family of Halle Popowich, who was diagnosed last year with a rare form of leukemia.

The owners of Rosedale Seniors’ Living on Hebert Road originally had plans for Phase 2 of their development on Hebert Road approved by city council in November, but now have amended those plans and want to build a sixstorey, 78-unit building instead of four storeys and 52 units.

“It is an alternative we’re looking at in the big picture to a sheet of ice — with the refrigeration facility, the whole enclosure and all that — and it has some really good, focused uses.”

“The MGA review does provide a good opportunity for cities such as St. Albert to really have a strong voice in what works for them and what doesn’t. … I feel like we have chosen some [areas] that have a high potential of going forward.” — Cathy Heron

“To the family and the donors, the silence, the lack of questions, speaks volumes. Carry on.”

“It’s very important we keep our residents close to where they live, if they choose to, and they have family and friends close by, shopping close by.” — Len Bracko

NOTABLE QUOTES WHAT’S NEXT

— John Glass, VP Admin, SAMHA

“This is going to get a lot of attention in a two-week period from all across Alberta. There are people who are going to want to come up and skate on it … Everybody’s going to want to try it.” — Nolan Crouse

The synthetic ice surface will be set up for a 10- to 14-day public trial in one of the indoor soccer pitches at Servus Place, likely near the end of August.

The letter from the mayor will contain 22 comments dealing mainly with the areas of governance, planning and development, and property assessment and taxation. Amendments to the MGA are expected to be introduced in 2015.

FEEDBACK

Council approves $60,000 funding to support Halle’s Playground Wish. Great cause! #stalbert

“Quite honestly, [seniors housing] is an ever-expanding need, particularly in St. Albert, where we have an active hospital and it’s desirable to come live in our community as you age.” — Wes Brodhead

Construction of the new phase should begin before the end of 2013. “There are no six-storey buildings in Akinsdale, and there are very few sixstorey buildings in St. Albert. … To build a six-storey building adjacent to residential is not appropriate and not compatible, in my view. It simply doesn’t fit and doesn’t belong there.” — Jim Reynolds, resident

MacKay has unfinished business MacKay also has several other issues on his radar, the most important of which is utility rates in the city, which have been increasing in recent years. “If you look at the actual cost of running the utilities, it’s been pretty stagnant. It’s only increased by one per cent a year. ... It’s all this forced savings that we’re doing, taking money money from you, me and everybody else who lives in this city, and putting it in the bank to pay for utilities for somebody else 40 or 50 years down the road,” he said. MacKay also wants to: • reduce organics pickup in the winter and look at returning to weekly garbage pickup; • experiment with direct voting technology to involve residents in decision making at council; • maintain councillor positions as part-time; and • cancel the LRT functional alignment study and have a feasibility study done first.

Students pursuing love of science

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Two young ladies from St. Albert are broadening their scientific horizons this summer thanks to a program provided by the Alberta government. Rebecca Zuk and Paige Shelemey are participating in the Heritage Youth Researcher Summer (HYRS) program, which gives young people who have an interest in the sciences the chance to do hands-on scientific research at one of three Alberta campuses: the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary or the University of Lethbridge. Both Zuk and Shelemey are spending their six weeks in the program at the U of A, and so far, they’re both loving it. “Otherwise I would probably be working some sort of minimum-wage job … that was fun and everything, but that wasn’t challenging,” Zuk said. “I find that this challenges me and it opens me up to new opportunities and new ways of thinking I hadn’t been aware of

research could have farbefore.” reaching implications in pain Shelemey, 17, is going into management. Grade 12 next year at St. Albert “If we can find ways to promote Catholic High School.

Like Shelemey, the work Zuk is helping with could lead to improvements in patient care down the road. “From what I understand, it’s just developing a better knowledge of how the protein works so that, if there are any problems with it, it’s easier to develop treatments,” she said. “I’m off on kind of a side project, but the lab I’m working in is researching arsenic as a carcinogen.” Both are hoping that the experience they gain this summer will serve them well, both in the short and long terms. “I don’t know what I’d like to go into for post-secondary, so I figured I might as well try out a bunch of different things and see what suits me,” Zuk said. “I’m really enjoying it so far.” “It helps me to see what a research lab would be like, see what a career in research would be like, and also just get more into the science world and see what that’s like,” added Shelemey, who is thinking about going into medical school later on.

OPINION

iStAlbert

Tough love from province

Here’s what people are saying about #StAlbert on Twitter:

@JasonandKari

ost of the time, raising a child requires a deft, soft touch. In an effort to lead by example in instilling manners and respect for others into a child, parents will often gently cajole their kids or ask them nicely if they need them to do a chore or perhaps teach them a life lesson. Sometimes, though, by Glenn Cook gentle cajoling or asking nicely doesn’t do the job. That’s when it’s time for a little tough love. If the message isn’t getting through, then it might be time for a stern talking-to, or perhaps letting little Johnny learn his lesson the hard way about touching the hot stove. The Alberta government dished out a little tough love of its own over the weekend. That’s when Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths announced that — while relief will be there for those affected by last month’s devastating floods in southern Alberta — in the future, anyone who builds or rebuilds their home within a known 1-in-100-year flood plain but without the proper mitigation measures in place will not be eligible for Disaster Recovery Program funding. The timing of the announcement may seem a little cold-hearted, as many are still picking up the pieces from the flood, but it’s also clever to let people know while the incident is still in the spotlight. There is even money available for those who want to rebuild outside floodways. Here in St. Albert, the announcement doesn’t mean much. City of St. Albert policies already completely prohibit any sort of development in the 1-in-100-year flood plain, and the flood plain maps were reworked in recent years to include even more land. Some have speculated that this might affect the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan, but DARP was approved after the flood plain guidelines were first tightened, so that’s pretty much a non-starter. But in other Alberta communities, it’s a stark reminder that homeowners must bear some responsibility for how and where their homes are built. Now, building in a known flood plain is akin to building next to the train tracks and then complaining about the whistles. We can only hope that, in those communities, the message has gotten through, and the provincial government won’t have to dole out more tough love in the future.

Of mules, markets and business incubators

f the mule can be a metaphor for the qualities of a small businessperson or farmer — hard-working, even-tempered, intelligent, and requiring less food than a horse of the same size — then maybe a farmers’ market can be a good parallel for a business incubator. Since St. Albert has both, let’s check this out. A farmers’ market is a retail market featuring goods sold directly by farmers to consumers. Due to the growing interest in healthier foods and local products, there were about 6,000 farmers’ markets in the United States in 2012. In St. Albert, the Farmers’ Market is in its 31st year, has over 250 vendors and serves about 15,000 people each summer; economic contribution may be in the range of $5 million to $10 million.

SCHWANBECK NABI executive director My City Business incubators help with the process of starting and growing companies. They offer shared office services, access to equipment, flexible leases and expandable space, all under one roof. There are about 2,500 business incubators in North America. In St. Albert, the Northern Alberta Business Incubator Society (NABI), now in its 24th year, is home to about 100 small businesses, which, in 2012, generated $70 million in sales and a payroll of about $12 million. So far, we see strong parallels between farmers’ markets and incubators. Each provides

business frameworks where small entrepreneurs can succeed. But what else? At markets, farmers can gain new sources of revenue, get higher prices, diversify their skills, access networking and learning opportunities and reduce their costs for land, buildings and lighting. In incubators, entrepreneurs get just the space they need — no more, no less. Most have short-term leases that reduce the risk of starting a business. They get the support services they need, and can access all sorts of learning opportunities. Seems entrepreneurs have a lot in common with farmers! With both, more money is spent locally, and it circulates longer. Both provide outlets for local products and services, helping to start new businesses and expand existing ones. They

reinforce local job and business networks, maintaining local employment. Incubators and markets generate traffic for nearby businesses; they help diversify local economies. At farmers’ markets, people can meet neighbours and enjoy the atmosphere. They also get fresh food at competitive prices, increased choice and a stronger community. Incubators are good for consumers, too. Incubators can produce services and products closer to home. Consumers get to deal directly with company owners and experts, and prices are often lower.

Gov’t takes hard line on flood plain development DAVE LAZZARINO Sun Media News Services

Minister of Municipal Affairs Doug Griffiths speaks to media in Calgary on Sunday.

MPSSCS4826581MPSE

Building in flood-prone areas of Alberta will not happen in future, according to the provincial government. This is the message the government is saying will replace the softer “should not happen” approach that has been used in past. “We want to ensure we’re spending responsibly and doing everything we can to prevent flood damage like this from happening again,” said Doug Griffiths, Minister of Municipal Affairs and chair of the ministerial flood recovery task force set up following the massive flooding in southern Alberta in June. What that means for individual cities and towns, however, is less clear. “It’s not one blanket solution for each community,” said Kathleen Range, spokeswoman for the ministry. “There are some communities that are already building towards that.” In Edmonton, that is exactly what has been happening. According to the city’s municipal development plan (MDP), floodways and flood fringes seem to play an integral role in where we build.

A map included in the MDP shows both planned and in-progress developments following provincial flood hazard maps almost exactly. But according to Range, those provincial maps are subject to change. “As far as we get into flood fringe areas, that’s the area right now where we don’t have a lot of answers and that’s where we’re going to be spending the majority of our work looking at over the next weeks and months,” she said, adding recent events in southern Alberta may have caused changes in the course of rivers and have to be studied further. She agreed that the big push now is to keep building from happening in floodways and flood fringes, though some money is being put aside to help those already in those areas mitigate future damage. Homeowners who live in flood fringes are going to be expected to take measures to avoid future flood damage if they want to be eligible for government relief money in future and the province is saying it will help with the cost of those measures. In St. Albert, development in flood plains has been prohibited, and flood plain elevations were increased in

2006, so the province’s announcement has little to no bearing on plans for development in the downtown core. “Already our flood line — the one we put in place in 2006 — and the regulations we put in place are already tougher than the province’s,” said City of St. Albert senior planner Carol Bergum. “[The province does] allow some development and fill between the river and the flood line, with certain requirements. And we’ve said no development whatsoever below the flood line, which is now even higher than it used to be.” As for what is expected, Range said it will differ with each location. “You have communities like Fort McMurray where a large portion of the community is built on a floodway or on a flood fringe,” she said. “So we’re going to have to look at that particular community on it’s own to decide what’s the best approach. It’s nothing that government can step in and do unilaterally. It’s something that the community is going to have to be on side with.” The province is expecting to table more detailed legislation later in the year.

Drugged-driving cases on the rise, say RCMP

PAMELA ROTH Sun Media News Services

It’s a case Mounties say is a “little unusual,” but a St. Albert man has been charged with drugged driving in connection with a fatal collision in St. Albert last February. The 8:20 p.m. crash on Feb. 23 occurred when a Chevrolet Suburban collided with an Acura sedan at the intersection of St. Albert Trail and Hebert Road. The impact caused the male driver of the Acura to strike a light pole on the broadside of the passenger door, killing 20-year-old Michael Loft-McLean on impact. Following a lengthy investigation, St. Albert RCMP charged Jacques Raymond Hachey, 22, of St. Albert with impaired operation by drug of a vehicle causing death, impaired operation by drug of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and possession of marijuana under 30 grams. Salman Akram, 27, of Edmonton is also charged with operating a vehicle at an unreasonable speed and possession of marijuana under 30 grams. Cpl. Don Murray with the St. Albert RCMP traffic section said the marijuana was seized after searches from both vehicles and is believed to be a factor in the deadly collision, along with speed. “We are starting to see more incidents of drivers under the influence of some sort of drug,” said Murray, adding RCMP are trying

to increase the amount of members trained as Drug Recognition Experts (DRE). The investigation was complex, said Murray, due to the fact it was likely drugrelated. Officers had to make use of a number of specialty units including traffic collision analysts and a DRE brought in from Edmonton. Sgt. Conrad Moschansky with the impaired driving countermeasures unit is one of the 14 DRE’s with the Edmonton police service. Members are coming across drugged drivers more often, he said, but it’s mostly due to the fact they are more aware of the signs. In 2012, there were 119 evaluations done on suspected drug impaired drivers provincewide. So far this year in Edmonton, there have been 17 evaluations. “Guys are used to, over their career, dealing with people on all kinds of stuff,” said Moschansky, adding members have come across a variety of drugs in drivers behind the wheel. “If I can smell the weed or you’re slurring your speech or you’re talking 100 miles an hour — those are the things the members are heightening themselves to and looking for paraphernalia or signs of use.” The two accused in the St. Albert fatality have already made their first court appearance. The next court date is slated for July 29 for Hachey and Aug. 12 for Akram.

AUGUST 6-10

Rock’n August is a summer-time tradition in St. Albert. Classic cars of the past - this is the soul of Rock’n August. Returning to the carefree days of the past, remembering Elvis, Fats Domino, prom nights and sock hops make us appreciate what we had and yearn for again. Join us at some or all of the great events listed below.

Pair off to Next Star finals GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

AJMEDDIN YASMEEN N

There’s a good chance that Canadian music’s “Next Star” will come from St. Albert. The new season of the singing competition show The Next Star debuted on YTV on Monday evening, and not just one, but two singers from St. Albert made it through the audition process and into the field of 13 finalists: Alex Zaichkowski, 15, and Yasmeen Najmeddine, 13. “I was nervous and excited to audition and, when I was chosen to be on the show, I couldn’t believe it,” Najmeddine said. “I have always enjoyed watching The Next Star and seeing how the finalists get to share their love of music and perform for the judges —and now I get to do that too!” Both singers auditioned in Calgary earlier this year and wowed judges Keshia Chante, Mark Spicoluk and Tara Oram. Both also competed this past spring in the

annual St. Albert Idol competition, the finals of which were held at the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s Lifestyle Expo and Sale. “My friends really encouraged me to try out because they know how much I love music and performing,” Zaichkowski said. “I never imagined I would actually get picked — it’s pretty amazing!” The 13 finalists will be pared down to six later in the season, and those six will be guided through a superstar boot camp by the judges, where they will learn all the tricks of the trade, from recording their own single to making a music video. None of the six will be eliminated along the way, but viewer votes will decide the grand prize winner during the season finale, which will be broadcast live later this summer from the Canada’s Wonderland amusement park in Toronto. The Next Star has tapped St. Albert for talent before, as local singer Madi Amyotte made the Top 6 during the show’s third season in 2010.

SIIINES in running for opening slot at Sonic Boom festival Weezer, Blink-182 and City and Colour. “It’d be amazing. Those bands are pretty much as big as it gets,” Nesbitt said. “It’d be fantastic.” All four bands in the running for the opening spot — SIIINES, Rend, Owls by Nature and Raygun Cowboys — are former Bands of the Month on radio station SONiC 102.9 over the past year. Listeners can vote for their favourite at www.sonic1029.com until Aug. 23. The fact that fans are voting and having their say really plays into the philosophy of SIIINES, Nesbitt said.

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Only a few clicks are standing between SIIINES and what could be the gig of a lifetime. SIIINES — made up of St. Albert musicians Travis Nesbitt and Morgan Gies, formerly of Social Code, along with DJ Gina Giorgio — are one of four bands in the running to snag the opening spot at the Sonic Boom music festival Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 at Northlands Park in Edmonton, possibly joining a bill that already includes the likes of

“We’re not concerning ourselves as much with the industry. To us, it’s more about that direct fan connection,” he said. “If the people speak and we get in, that means we’re doing our job.” While Nesbitt admits the opening slot of a two-day festival might be a tough one to have, he said it’s still a great opportunity and a great chance to continue to work with SONiC. “They’re still playing Social Code stuff, so just to be still working with SONiC in some capacity is always the best,” he said. “Obviously a headlining spot is better than

the opening spot, but we’re taking baby steps.” The trio was SONiC’s Band of the Month in January, which meant their single “Oh Yeah” was given some airplay and they had a showcase show at the Starlite Room in Edmonton. “We honestly felt like a lot of people didn’t know — and still don’t know — that Social Code is done, and that SIIINES is the new project. I think a lot of people thought it was just a side project for a while,” he said. “But I think the Band of the Month thing really helped plant that seed in people’s brains.”

The great fire of Rome breaks out, destroying much of the city. Although there is no evidence Emperor Nero started the fire or fiddled while it burned, he did use the disaster to further his political agenda. After just nine days on the throne, 15-year-old Lady Jane Grey is deposed as Queen of England in favour of her cousin, Queen Mary I. Astronaut Neil Armstrong walks on the moon, uttering the famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Bourbon Room aims for touch of class

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Paul Ballach is betting on a touch of class to help him stand out in St. Albert’s nightlife scene. Ballach is the owner of The Bourbon Room, a new lounge slated to open this week at #112, 205 Carnegie Dr., next door to Campbell’s Steakhouse in Campbell Business Park. While the location has been home to several other iterations of bars in recent years — Yesterday’s, Friday’s, Rookies — Ballach is trying to step things up a notch with premium spirits and cocktails to bring in the 30-plus crowds. “I was going for that difference in quality, because I think St. Albert has got higher quality standards,” Ballach said. “I sat here one day and watched half a dozen Porsches and Ferraris drive by in the span of two hours. So I think this city could use something like this, for the people who those kinds of cars and live that kind of lifestyle.” Ballach has more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry — “Everything you can imagine, from pubs to country to rock, you name it,” he said — but The Bourbon Room is the first establishment that he has owned

himself, and that was making him all the more anxious to get the doors open. “It just landed at a perfect time, and everything was set where I don’t have to put my left arm in,” he said. Ballach also lived in St. Albert for a time, operating a picture framing store in a local shopping centre, and he did a lot of research when deciding what kind of bar to open. “There was nothing for the 30plus crowd. Everything in town is a sports bar or a pub. ... There’s nothing for people who have refined tastes. There’s Earls, but they don’t have a dance floor,” he said. While The Bourbon Room is located in the middle of a business park, Ballach doesn’t think the location will hamper business too much. “I’m surrounded by businesses, so from 3 p.m. until 8 or 9 p.m., it should be really busy,” he said. Plus, he added, he wants to work with nearby businesses to put on block parties and fundraisers for local charities. Ballach and his team have been busy remodelling the space, redoing a lot of the woodwork in the bar, as well as the washrooms. They’ve also installed a 12-foot

HD television screen for sports and UFC events — something Ballach said can balance with the upscale feel he’s going for. “People who are 30, 40, 50 love sports too, don’t they?” he said. “Everyone loves the Oilers. Everyone loves the Eskimos.” Also contributing to that feel is the high-end glassware, the selection of infused drinks and the signature cocktail menu, developed by seven-time Alberta champion flair bartender Tyson Wiley. “We have bubble gum martinis that have a big piece of old-school bubble gum right there in the glass,” Ballach said. “We have chocolate martinis that have real shaved chocolate — we shave the chocolate in front of you, right on top of it — and it’s got a red velvet chocolate cupcake on the side of the rim.” Ballach is also hoping his staff add to the upscale feel after having them trained for three weeks by consultants from some of the best high-end restaurants in Edmonton. “They trained them from A to Z,” he said. “Basically what we’ve done is morphed the restaurant service mentality and etiquette to a lounge. It’s a lounge atmosphere with restaurant service.”

$12.4-billion Shoppers-Loblaws deal done in minivan

JENNY YUEN Sun Media News Services

One of the biggest mergers in recent Canadian retail history wasn’t finalized over lunch at an exclusive club, but on a country road, northwest of Toronto. Loblaw Companies Ltd. announced Monday it has a deal to buy Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. for $12.4 billion in cash and stock, bringing together the largest grocery and pharmacy chains in Canada. “Our companies have known each other for a long time, but in fact, this happened very quickly,” Loblaw executive chairman Galen Weston said during a press conference at the Design Exchange. “I drove out to their strategic session and met with (Shoppers chairman) Holger (Kluge) in a minivan on a country road on Thursday morning at 8 a.m. That’s when I proposed to him.” Weston insisted the merger — three and a half years in the works — still means there’s competition in the

STALBERTJOBS.COM Students can reap rewards of co-op placements LINDA WHITE Sun Media News Services

When Kunal Gupta graduated from Ontario’s University of Waterloo, he already had a handful of work experiences under his belt and a clear vision of how he wanted to build his career. Today, the entrepreneur is a walking billboard for co-op, benefiting from it both as a student and an employer. “I learned I didn’t want to work for somebody and started my own company,” says Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile, a fast-rising developer of smartphone applications. “I was definitely passionate about technology and software.” As a software engineering student, he completed co-op placements at a bank and telecommunications company and also tried his hand at consulting and venture capitalism. “You learn what you like and what you don’t like and what you’re good at and what you’re not so good at,” he says. “They were all beneficial experiences.” Gupta also learned practical lessons. “You see how business happens, how technology is built, how customers use software and products, how customers are supported and how investment works. That whole lens is not something you get in the classroom.” Half of Canada’s undergraduate students participate in an internship or co-op learning experience before graduation, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada reports. “Today’s university experience is different from that of 10 or 20 years ago in many ways,” says president Paul Davidson, president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. “Today’s undergraduates have unprecedented opportunities to work with employers through internships, co-ops and community service learning, and benefit from practical hands-on research experiences. Students are bringing what they learn in the classroom to the community and industry, gaining experience and building networks that help them transition to rewarding careers.” The number of co-op placements a student must complete can vary from one program to another. At Simon Fraser University in B.C., a placement is typically four or eight months in length. If a student is going abroad or travelling for their work term, the placement can be as long as 12 months. Students typically begin their first co-op towards the beginning of their second year of study. Co-op students can make the most of their placement by focusing on applying the learning goals and objectives they set for their work term. Recording major work tasks, assignments and accomplishments will help them stay organized and focused.

Don’t sabotage career goals JOANNE RICHARD Sun Media News Services

Not having a clear next job goal, committing interview bloopers and not asking for the job will damage your career climb, declares career expert Dana Manciagli. You have to stand out to snag a job: “Estimates of job applications per job posting range from 125 to over 800. One person picked out of a minimum of 125 applicants is a brutally competitive playing field,” says Manciagli, author of Cut the Crap, Get a Job, which includes nine prescriptive software downloads to help deliver results. It’s an ultra-competitive jobscape out there: “There are more people applying for fewer jobs. More experienced people are vying for lesser roles, college graduates/masters students are flooding the market, and employees are working longer due to the economic crisis,” says the career guru at danamanciagli.com. According to Manciagli, there’s a lower tolerance for applicant mistakes and “because hiring managers live in a buyer’s world of supply/demand, they can be choosy, and tend to

Manciagli. In writing or verbally, candidates tend to ramble on and on about all they have done. Instead, “select three main features about you that sell the fact that you are the best fit for their open position.” She adds that it’s not tough to stand out since so many others are making mistakes. “You just have to sell your relevant skills to the buyer. You are the product they have communicated they want, so make it easy for them to pick you.” Meanwhile, job seeking is tough, mentally and emotionally, and it’s hard work. “Job seeking is going to take 10 times the effort than what you expect. Just submitting resumés on online job boards will not work. Just being on LinkedIn is not enough. There are no shortcuts.” Meanwhile, the book is not just for the unemployed. “Today’s employees feel stalled in their positions and need to job search within their company to get promoted,” adds Manciagli, who has leveraged 30 years of employee hiring and corporate management experience into a revolutionary new job search process.
