A portion of the Shea Road Woods in Stittsville will now be protected for community enjoyment going forward, after it was announced on Tuesday that the City of Ottawa has reached a purchase agreement with property owner CRT Developments. The deal is still subject to approval by the city’s planning committee and city council. However, considering that the city held a press conference involving Mayor Jim Watson on Oct. 17 to tout the purchase, it would appear to be a done deal that those approvals will be forthcoming.

‘Important natural area’ saved after city reaches deal for Shea Road Woods Continued from page 1
The woods, located near the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, are already used by local residents for dog walking and nature hiking among other uses. City council had been eyeing what the city described as “this important Contributed City of Ottawa natural area” since 2009. Without the city making a Mayor Jim Watson and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri at the announcement of a deal being deal to acquire and protect a reached for the city to take control of the Shea Road Woods. five-hectare portion of the Shea Road Woods, the privatelyowned lands could legally have been developed. “Protecting greenspaces like the Shea Road Woods is not only an ecological priority, it is also a commitment to quality of life for our residents who value having places where they can enjoy nature within the city,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said. “As the population grows and neighbourhoods evolve, we will continue to work to maintain these valuable urban natural areas,” he said of his community, which is one of the fastest growing areas of the City of Ottawa.
Fall Sale
On Tuesday, Oct. 24, the city’s planning committee will consider the agreement, which involves the city paying cash for about one third of the property. The remaining twothirds would be transferred in exchange for another parcel of land that was to be developed as a city park. The city in general requires each developer to design and build parks on behalf of the city as part of their subdivision agreements. As part of a subdivision adjacent to the Shea Road Woods, CRT Developments had already planned a 3.28-hectare park. In exchange for the Shea Road Woods property, the city will allow that land to instead be developed with low-density housing, a city press release states. The cost to the city for 1.72 hectares of the site is estimated to be $1,577,573. Those funds will come from the Environmental Resource Area Acquisition Reserve Fund, which the city established to help acquire and protect land such as the Shea Road Woods.
“It’s important that we continue to work to preserve and enhance greenspace throughout Ottawa.” Mayor Jim Watson
However, according to the city, a final purchase agreement is conditional on the city getting permission from Hydro One to relocate a nearby transmission line. According to the city, the deal is “consistent” with Ottawa’s Building Better and Smarter Suburbs initiative. “It’s important that we continue to work to preserve and enhance greenspace throughout Ottawa,” Mayor Watson said. “Urban natural areas like Shea Road Woods contribute significantly to public health, community enjoyment and property values, while keeping the city’s overall ecological integrity and aesthetic enjoyment open to all,” he said

Library customers name weekends as most important: report BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Saturday is the most important day for a public library to be open, said four out of 10 people who participated in customer surveys on the Ottawa Public Library’s opening hours. The library board heard the report on Oct. 10. The review began in April, the first one looking at opening hours in 15 years. The push for the review was customer feedback that people would like their branches open at different times. The information was collected in
a variety of different ways. About 60 people participated in focus groups. Another 400 randomly selected citizens participated in a hybrid of online and phone surveys — as well as 5,259 cardholders. “For library card holders, picking your favourite day is a bit like asking them to pick their favourite child,” said Nik Nanos, of Nanos Research, the company that did the study. Aside from days that libraries would be open, respondents were asked what times of day they prefer. On the weekend, 9 a.m. and noon, and noon to 3 p.m. were

On weeknights, it was 6 to 9 p.m. The majority of cardholders — 70 per cent of respondents — said they’d take advantage of Sunday
summer hours. Trustee Pamela Sweet asked about the impact of changing hours on the staff ’s union. “Will it cost more to staff on
Sunday instead?” she asked. About 80 per cent of the city’s library employees are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

Pumpkins on parade
Saunders Farm in Munster has once again come through for mental health services and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The annual Scaring is Caring event at Saunders Farm on Oct. 6 raised $5,000. An annual fundraising program now in its 7th year, Saunders Farm’s Scaring is Caring event raised the money for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa to honour the memory of Jamie Hubley, a valued member of the Saunders Farm Team. Jamie was the son of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley “We have employed more than 5,000 local youth over the past 26 years and are honoured to be able to give back in this way.” said Saunders Farm owner Angela Grant Saunders.

CHEO reporting spike in ER visits Non-urgent cases face longer waits BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland
CHEO is facing a spike in emergency room visits, prompting hospital officials to ask families to prepare for longer waits or consider alternative options. The children’s hospital is dealing with a 15-per-cent spike in October, compared to this time last year. And while there has been “a steady increase� in ER visits over the past several years, the hospital has been able to manage wait times, CHEO officials said in a statement on Oct. 20. Last month, 44 per cent of visits to the emergency department did not require emergency treatment. The team at CHEO typically sees an uptick in ER visits largely related to high rates of respiratory infections and viral illnesses in February and March. But volumes this month are nearing those levels. “Because urgent cases are seen first, families with a less urgent problem can expect to have longer wait times in a crowded emergency department,� the hospital said in a statement. “Added to these higherthan-normal volumes, hospital staff expects that low-
acuity waits may be even longer in the coming weeks as CHEO begins using its new digital health record system in the emergency department.� As staff adapt to the newly announced patient health information system, called Epic, in which each patient will have one digital health record, some of their tasks may take longer in the short term, said hospital officials. ONLINE RESOURCES
“Before making a trip to emergency and facing potentially long waits as we manage higher volumes, we encourage families to consult some of the available online resources to help their decision,� Dr. Gina Neto, CHEO’s chief of emergency medicine, said in the news release. “Often the child’s primary care provider is the best option,� s h e said.
���� �� ��
Many common health conditions can be managed safely at home or via a family doctor or walk-in clinic, including fever and cough in healthy, immunized children, as well as breathing issues caused by nasal congestion and cough, common cold symptoms, or mild asthma symptoms, Neto said. Vomiting or diarrhea that occurs less than four times a day are also on that list. While some procedures can only be accessed in a hospital, including stitches, casts or trauma treatment, others are available at medical offices, clinics and labs, including treatment for acute problems. For information on recognizing when kids need to visit the ER, visit cheo.on.ca, caringforkids.cps.ca and parentinginottawa.com. To find a walk-in clinic in Ontario, call 211 or visit 211Ontario.ca.

Help celebrate local youth
I
t’s time once again for the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Junior Citizen of the Year awards. Nominate an outstanding individual you know, and help us recognize the incredible determination, imagination, and spirit that make our lives and our communities better. If you know someone who is involved in worthwhile community service, is contributing while living with a limitation, has performed an heroic act, demonstrates individual excellence, or is going above and beyond to help others, then please nominate them! Nominees may be involved in: worthwhile community service; special young people who are contributing while living with a physical or psychological limitation; individuals who have performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past year; excellence in personal achievements; recipients may also be ‘good kids’ who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 years (must be at least six years, but no older
than 17 years by the annual Nov. 30 deadline), is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen Award. Only individuals may be nominated. Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 30. A committee of newspaper editors, publishers and the program’s sponsors will then select up to 12 individual award winners. Every nominee will receive a certificate of recognition from their local community newspaper, and the final recipients are invited to a special ceremony in Toronto. The Ontario Junior Citizen Awards are a public service of your community newspaper. Almost five million Ontario households receive a paper published by a member of the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. The association acts on behalf of its members to help them better serve their communities. Each submission must include at least two supporting nominations. Parents/ Guardians must sign to acknowledge the PIPEDA policy. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org.
It’s not easy being a green bin
I
t’s difficult to process the information that only 51 per cent of people in this city are using the green bin system for organic waste. For most of us it seems smart and convenient. But it seems that not everybody feels this way. The obstacles are complicated and the city is trying to figure out how to overcome them. For whatever reason, people need to be persuaded to make changes in how they go about their daily lives. How to persuade people to change their behaviour? One way is to make it easy for them to do so. A good example is our current blue box and black box recycling system. It’s no trouble at all, so we do it. And we feel good about it. We’re recycling! Conversely, if something becomes
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town inconvenient, there is an incentive to give it up. When you couldn’t smoke at your desk, that was an incentive to stop. Soon you couldn’t smoke in stores, in theatres, in airplanes. It was an effort to smoke. A social stigma began to be attached to smokers. People frowned upon guests smoking in their homes. Smokers were banished from public spaces. Gradually, smoking became more trouble than it was worth. Another important element was cost. It got more and more expen-
sive to buy cigarettes. Canadians hate spending money. The social stigma factor has been an important contributor to the decline in drunk driving. Through a process of public education, driving after drinking began to be seen as uncool. Young people out on the town selected designated drivers. Peer pressure was a big influence. As we contemplate the arrival of legal marijuana it is interesting to ponder how these elements — cost, stigma, convenience and public education — will play out. From all the confusion visible at all levels of government, it is a safe bet to conclude that nobody knows. To return to the green bin, there is clear agreement that it is a good plan, but how do we get more people to participate? Stigmatizing those who don’t

use it? Terrible idea, but some have actually suggested it — make garbage bags clear so passersby (and the garbage police?) can see what’s inside them. Let’s forget about that one. Cost? There’s some promise here. While the green bin program costs us nothing (other than what we pay in taxes), there are other costs involved, such as the lined paper bags that we use for the inside and outside compost bins. Those cost money. Could they be made cheaper? Some have suggested allowing plastic bags, which as we know are readily available, to be used as liners. That would be practical, but does the world really need more plastic bags out there? Convenience is not an issue for those who live in houses. It appears that work needs to be done to help those who live in condos and apartments. For the green bin system to work, it should be easy. If it isn’t, making it so is a good place to start. ediTorial: Managing ediTor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com news ediTor: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 reporTer/phoTographer: Brian Dryden 613-221-6162 brian.dryden@metroland.com
Which brings us done to public education. Does everybody clearly understand the program, what it’s intended to do and how it works? Perhaps not. Time to start again, with an emphasis on schools. When the kids learn about it, maybe they’ll shame us into doing the right thing.

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Protecting Freedom of Speech This week and last week I voted against Bill 163, also known as the ‘bubble zone’ legislation. And I want to take time to explain why I was the only MPP in the legislature to vote against this legislation before it passed. Bill 168 will create a 150 metre ‘no go zone’ around abortion clinics in Ontario which will prevent pro-life activists from standing near the clinics or engaging with people entering them. This is supposedly to stop harassment of people entering the premise, something that is already illegal. This bill violates two fundamental rights we as Canadians have under our constitution. Those rights are the freedom of speech, and public assembly. As an elected representative of the people it would be extremely unwise of me to vote for a bill that I fundamentally believe violates our constitutional rights. When government takes away our fundamental freedoms we lead ourselves down the path towards tyranny. These freedoms have been fought for on battlefields and debated in parliaments for centuries. Canada’s basic constitutional rights date back 800 years to the Magna Carta and have advanced through the centuries to the modern day, all-the-while never abandoning their fundamental foundations.

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Johnwoods Street Closure for Multi-Use Pathway From Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue October 26, 2017 Dear Resident, Starting on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, Johnwoods Street will be permanently closed to vehicular traffic from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue and will be rebuilt as a multi-use pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. This work will add a safe and accessible recreational amenity, more greenspace and direct connections for pedestrians and cyclists in your community. The pathway will also enhance privacy and livability for nearby residents by reducing vehicle traffic noise and headlight glare. WHO:
A contractor hired by Mattamy Homes will complete the work.
WHY:
This work must be completed to satisfy a condition in Mattamy Homes’ Fairwinds West subdivision agreement. The idea to downgrade Johnwoods Street from a major road to a local street has long been supported in several Council-approved documents like the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Kanata West Concept Plan, Cycling Plan, and Pedestrian Plan. Historically, Johnwoods Street has experienced issues with cut-through traffic as population growth has outpaced the development of the arterial road network in the community. The construction of the Huntmar Drive extension and the Hazeldean Road widening have helped to alleviate some of these concerns. The partial closure of Johnwoods Street will further improve the situation.
WHAT:
The existing asphalt road surface will be removed and replaced with a three-metre wide asphalt multi-use pathway. Pathway features will include: • New tree and shrub plantings on either side of the pathway • Four benches and two waste receptacles • Post and rail wood fences at the Maple Grove Road and Rosehill Avenue entrances • Two walkway connections into the Fairwinds West community • Possible future pathway connection (built by the City) into the Bryanston Gate community through the existing pumping station property
WHEN:
This work is planned to start on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 and be completed by the summer of 2018.
WHERE: Johnwoods Street from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue. The surrounding roads will have information and construction signs installed and maintained for the duration of the construction to keep you informed of the changing conditions. Traffic calming is planned for Rosehill Avenue. Significant effort is being made to reduce the duration of the construction impacts in your community.
Accessibility Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require special accommodations, please contact the undersigned. Construction Disruptions Mattamy Homes will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the normal life of your family and / or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation.

Stittsville artists showcase their work Continued from page 10
“It’s just really nice to see those people year after year,” said Miller, who has been participating in the annual show for around 15 years. “It’s a good experience. People will let you know how they feel — the good, bad and indifferent.” There will be a wide variety of media — from oil, watercolour, encaustic and acrylic paintings, to photography, textile art, sculpture and others — available in numerous styles, from the abstract to high realism, while ranging in size and price point. Original works
“I think people are surprised to see how affordable original artwork is,” said Miller, who lives in Beaverbrook. Purchasing original art is very different from buying a mass-produced piece from a box store or even from a commercial gallery, which tend to lean toward “cookie-cutter styles,” said Daniel Morales-Gómez, who’s been showing his work at Gift of Art for about a decade. The Stittsville resident is a self-taught artist who specializes in oil and water paintings. A native of Chile, Morales-Gómez often draws his inspiration from his travels, while the Gift of Art show provides the incentive needed to create new pieces. “I feel like I need to have new stuff for the show,” he said. “This one is special in many ways; it forces me to have new stuff.” Bev Ashford, a 10-year veteran of the show, said Gift of Art is one of the few times the gallery members all congregate in one space. “I like the artists that are there, getting to talk to people and the positive feedback,” said the Stittsville resident who works with acrylic paints and watercolour and most recently has been creating representational, impressionistic and abstract artwork. “There’s a lot of talent,” said Ashford. And the gallery is looking for more as it hosts its Call for Artists 2018. Anyone interested becoming a member is invited to submit their work until Dec. 1 for jurying. GIFT OF ART

Payette receives first poppy to kick off national campaign Poppies available to the general public beginning Oct. 27. By Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Newly appointed Gov. Gen. Julie Payette said she was honoured to receive the first poppy to mark the start of the annual National Poppy Campaign. “I am so pleased to be here for the first time,” Payette said, adding that she feels Canadians are fortunate to have a military that serves with honour. During Payette’s address at Rideau Hall on
Oct. 23, before the dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion pinned the first poppy over Payette’s heart, she remarked that years ago, as a student studying abroad, she had the opportunity to visit Flanders Fields. “I did not know what it meant to have a poppy, and someone explained it to me,” Payette recalled. Now, she adds, to her, the poppy is a symbol of history. “It reminds us that spirit

will bring us forward,” she said. “Together we can all do great things and I think that the poppy campaign exemplifies that.” Retired Maj. Gen. Richard Blanchette spoke on behalf of the legion. “By wearing the bright red poppy, you and millions of Canadians show a deep appreciation for all our veterans,” Blanchette said. Blanchette noted the famous poem by John McCrae In Flanders Fields, known as the reason generations come together to pin a poppy on their lapel, may have been a poem written in sorrow, but now means so much more. “Today it (the poem) gives us comfort to come together,” Blanchette said. “On Remembrance Day we will be together as a proud nation to honour our heroes.” The National Poppy Campaign was officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the

Person’s Day celebration at Toastmasters BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News
This week theme for the meeting was Person’s Day, a nationally recognized day of women becoming persons. Person’s Day is an annual celebration in Canada, held on October 18. The day commemorates the case of Edwards vs. Canada (Attorney General) more commonly known as The Persons Case – a famous Canadian constitutional case decided on October 18, 1929, that held that women were eligible to sit in the Canadian Senate. Antonio Misaka opened the meeting with a powerful opening thought. Lori Holloway presented a toast to the famous five. She mentioned that Person’s Day would not exist if not for the Famous Five, who were responsible for ensuring that women were included in the word person. These five women included: Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. The traditional education program
has served Toastmasters for many years.This week’s meeting focus was to help members transition into new educational program, Pathways. Fran Watson is a Pathways guide and toastmaster member for 15 years and member of four toastmaster clubs (Pembroke TM, Deep River TM, Arnprior TM and Valley Vintage (advanced) TM). Fran presented a 50-minute workshop with more details about the Pathways educational program and how Toastmasters members would be able to access it. The club’s VPE Richard Cook was given a package which contained 3 Pathway pins. The first 3 club members to start their Pathway program will be given these pins. Table topics
scription of the black & white Zebra won everyone’s heart and votes and she was declared the winner. Maria Pemberton quizzed and made sure everyone was attentive listener. Gina Cook presented the General evaluation followed by the Timer’s report. Ann Seymour reflected on four colours of indigenous culture, red, black, yellow and white in her closing thought. She said that regardless of who you are, your background, your culture we are all equal. We should be grateful that we are all individuals, we are all people and with this we celebrate Person’s Day.

Mayor’s Report
MUTUAL RESPECT BRINGS UNPRECEDENTED LABOUR PEACE By: Mayor Jim Watson The City of Ottawa employs over 17,000 people in very different fields of work. From providing front line services in City Service Centres or at the Library, to maintaining our roads and greenspace, to driving thousands of commuters to work each day, to delivering parks and recreation programming to tens of thousands of families and children, to keeping us safe and secure thanks to the dedicated work of our first responders, our employees are the backbone of the city. The incredible services the city delivers are made possible by our hard working and dedicated employees. In fact, for many city staff, their first job was a summer internship or an entry level job and they remained with the city, moving through the ranks and departments and retiring some decades later after long, meaning and successful careers. I am proud that the City is enjoying a period of unprecedented labour peace. Although things can never be perfect, many residents remember the bitter 51 day transit strike in 2008-2009 that paralyzed the city. Today, our labour relations are based on mutual respect. In March 2012, the City and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279 (ATU 279) agreed to terms for a four-year renewal of their collective agreement. This was the first time in more than 20 years that the City and ATU 279 had concluded a tentative agreement prior to the expiry of their contract. This understanding was repeated in March 2016, when the two sides again reached agreement on a four-year deal. More recently, the City has concluded a four-year collective agreement renewal with its largest bargaining agent, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 503 (CUPE 503). With these, the City has long-term collective agreements in place for more than 80% of its unionized workforce, to at least April 2020.

Ottawa would not be the great city it is today without the significant contributions of city staff and their dedication to public service. But Ottawa is not just a great place to live, it’s also a great place to work. Throughout the years, the City of Ottawa has been the recipient of numerous Employment, Diversity and Inclusion Awards. For the past 6 years, Ottawa was named in the list of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and also made the National Capital Region’s Top Employers ranking. These awards speak for themselves, but they would not have been made possible without the strong partnership the City shares with our employee groups and unions. With interest arbitration built into many of its collective agreements as the means through which collective bargaining impasses are resolved, the city can ensure that even if two sides are not able to come to agreement on all of the terms for a new collective agreement, residents do not have to endure the loss of the municipal services they depend on, as a result of either a strike or lockout. It is a privilege to live and work in a city of dedicated residents and city staff, whose passion, dedication and love for Ottawa has truly made it an amazing place to work, live and play.

Museums raise membership rates By Michelle Nash Baker
Michelle Nash Baker/Metroland
A sneak peak into the new ZOOOM - Children’s Innovation Zone took place on Oct. 22. The new space offers a lot of opportunities for children to learn and be challenged all while having fun - from building cars to race down a speed track, rock climbing, building blocks and wind tunnels the space makes room for children zero to 8 to play.

After the countdown to Halloween, Clinton Cowen’s family is marking off the days until Nov. 17. That is the day the Cowen family has been waiting for since the fall of 2014 when the Canada Science and Technology Museum closed its doors due to mould. “We are counting down the days, we are really excited about the opening here,� Cowen, an Alta Vista resident said. In fact, he added, the entire Alta Vista community, which thinks of the museum as its own, is also counting down to the opening. “Its always been a very cool museum and popular for the children,� he said. “We would go there, especially in the winters, it would be a neighbourhood hangout for Alta Vista — it’s a positive space for everyone.� Opening day however, comes as bittersweet. “A nearly 40 per cent increase on membership fees is a bold ask,� Cowen says, referring to an email he received as a museum membership holder. “The concern is there may be some that can meet the ask, but there may be more that can’t.� Coinciding with the museum’s opening, will be a hike in membership fees — a family membership for two adults and up to three children is currently $90 for one year will go up 39 per cent, to $125. An individual membership fee will rise from $36 to $62. Members have the opportunity to renew now at the current rate. Buying a membership gives mem-
bers unlimited access to all three museums, as well as access to more than 330 museums and science centres across Canada and around the world. The hike, Cowen says, better be worth it. “Its been a much missed space, but the increase is quite a surprise,� he said, adding some in the community noted that if their gym membership were to rise at the same rate, they would be hesitant to renew. But many area residents have said they will renew, despite the hike. Admission fees at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum are also set to rise, with a different cost structure based on the time of year. From November to February, the cost will remain as it is now, $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $8 for youth and daily family passes are $26. From March to October, that cost will rise to $12 for adults, $10 for youth and seniors and $33 for a family pass. See FREE, page 18

The November 2nd meeting of Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee will be at our regular time and place, Thursday at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe. The agenda has more items than usual including a few carried over from last month’s meeting which were deferred. Agenda items include: • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 8089 & 8165 Franktown Road • Zoning By-Law & Official Plan Amendment: 1346 Bankfield Road • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 3315 Shea Road • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 2980 Colonial Road (Cumberland) • Carp Airport Development: Infrastructure Recovery Charge • O’Keefe Municipal Drain (Barrhaven) • Burnett Municipal Drain (Barrhaven) • Tasse-Regimbald Municipal Drain (Orleans) • Thomas Gamble Municipal Drain (Osgoode) • Kilroe Municipal Drain (Barrhaven) The Bankfield Road rezoning follows a lot line adjustment that was approved by the Committee of Adjustment. The lot that includes Dan Murphy Ford has been expanded and this zoning application adjusts the zoning to meet the new lot configuration. The Franktown and Shea Roads applications are new developments in Goulbourn. Franktown Road is a 19 lot development adjacent to the existing Heron Lake Estates community and the Riverbend Golf Course. The Shea Road project is a 54-unit development by Cardel adjacent to the Richmond Marketplace. The municipal drains on the agenda are reports that will see a drainage engineer appointed to review the current status of these drains and prepare a report to review any proposed improvements. However, the report on the Burnett Municipal Drain is to abandon that drain. You may notice that some of these drains are location in urban wards. ARAC has full carriage of all municipal drains across the City of Ottawa so even ones located in the urban area come to our committee. For more information on this agenda, please visit Ottawa.ca or sign up for our e-Newsletter.
Munster Drinking Water System This fall/winter, City staff are planning to conduct a number of engineering tracer studies in three of the well systems operated by the City of Ottawa: Carp, Munster, and Vars. These studies will provide important information about the flow patterns in the water storage reservoirs, and will be used to improve the disinfection treatment process in each system. This testing is expected to begin in late October. The duration of each study will be 3-5 days and will make use of a small amount of barium salt as the tracer. Barium occurs naturally in the groundwater for these communities at a level of approximately 0.4 mg/L. During the study, the barium concentration will increase to 0.7 mg/L for 3-5 days. These levels are well within the safe drinking water standard of 1 mg/L established by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and Health Canada. The MOECC, which regulates drinking water in Ontario, has provided approval for these tracer studies. In addition, Ottawa Public Health have been consulted and have provided approval for this work. Lastly, Water Services staff will be notifying both the local District Office of the MOECC and Ottawa Public Health before and after each study. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Ingenium, the corporation which manages three museums in the city — The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Science and Technology Museum — said the new fee structure is in line with the corporation ensuring programming and exhibitions are adequately supported. All three museums provide opportunities for free access, said Melissa Gruber, spokesperson for the museum. There is free entrance daily from 4 to 5 p.m. as well as free family passes available through public libraries. “Our museums’ fees have not seen an increase in over three years. The last time membership prices increased was in 2010,” Gruber said. Gruber said a third-party analysis was completed prior to the decision to raise the rates. “The new admission fee structure remains competitive and accessible when compared
to other national museums in the National Capital Region,” Gruber said. Currently, Gruber added, the museum has 6,000 active memberships, which represents approximately 25,000 people. “We are confident this number will continue as we reopen of the Canada Science and Technology Museum,” Gruber said. After the museum was abruptly closed after mould was found due to a leaky roof, the museum began massive renovations, as well has designed a new archives building and front playground The $80-million overhaul — $25 million to $30 million of which will pay for new exhibits — will feature six main galleries and a new 930-square-metre temporary gallery for exhibitions in the 7,400-square-metre space. Once open, the museum will have 11 exhibitions, which will include the visitor-favourite Crazy Kitchen and Steam: A world in Motion — where the steam engines will be set

up. Cowen said he is looking forward to watching his youngest walk through the Crazy Kitchen — is it will be their first time. Cowen said throughout the closure, the museum has remained a community partner with Alta Vista, attending the neighbourhood’s annual events. Gruber said the travelling exhibition “Game Changers” will be on display for the opening. The exhibition looks at what shapes a video game player’s experience and explores how innovations have transformed the way people play and interact with computer technology. The exhibit will give visitors eight and older the opportunity to “live” the video game evolution. There will be 15 video games to play and over 120 video games to explore.

The event, hosted by St. George’s Anglican Church, featured an Oktoberfest meal and locally produced beers.
I am not sure how we started speaking about it, but we ended up talking about final wishes. Some have already made their arrangements, some wondering what to do, while the others just quietly listened because they had never thought about it before.

Yet, it seemed like such a normal conversation for such a sombre topic. As we shared our wishes, and it came to my own parents, I finally asked them what they wanted.

Every year, we gather around at my aunt’s place to celebrate thanksgiving. The whole family comes together and shares a meal, each bringing their speciality; pies, stuffing, ham, bread or beverages. It is one of those moments where we are all together. We honour our loves ones who passed; we laugh, we cry, we remember and most of all, we just talk. The volume sometimes so loud, you cannot hear anything, but that is the music of family.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
October 26, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed
The Future of Shea Road Woods at Planning Committee LAST week, I had the great pleasure of joining Mayor Watson, City Planning Staff, Tanya Hein (President of the Stittsville Village Association), Adrienne Charlton (President of the BlackstoneFernbank Crossing Community Association), and other interested Stittsville residents on-site for a special announcement regarding the acquisition and protection of the Shea Road Woods. As it stands, the woods are a privately-owned natural area and could legally be developed without acquisition by the City. The woods are known by many as the unofficial dog park of Stittsville and are located south of Abbott Street East and east of Shea Road near Holy Spirit Parish. This week, a report was brought to Planning Committee to consider the first step in the long-term acquisition and protection of Shea Road Woods. The report and recommendations seek approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the owners, CRT Developments Inc., for purchase of the woodlot through a combination of cash and parkland dedication. Working on retaining this property has been a priority project of mine for quite some time and with Stitttsville growing at the rate that it is, I understand how important it is to preserve our natural environment wherever possible. As such, I have continued to push in finding potential solutions in how to ensure that this area remains protected. As part of all subdivision agreements, Ottawa requires each developer to design and build parks on behalf of the City. As part of a subdivision adjacent to the Shea Road Woods, CRT Developments had already planned a 3.28-hectare park. In exchange for the Shea Road Woods property, the City will allow that land to instead be developed with low-density housing. The City would pay cash for the remaining 1.72 hectares, at an estimated cost of $1,577,573. Funding for that purchase would come from the Environmental Resource Area Acquisition Reserve Fund, which Council established to help acquire and protect features like Shea Road Woods. A final purchase agreement would be conditional upon the City obtaining permission from Hydro One to relocate playing fields and other park facilities to a nearby transmission line corridor, so that the community can still enjoy a full range of recreational, health, and fitness opportunities. Such a move will require engineering studies and possible design measures to ensure the community that health and safety will never be compromised. This is great news for residents as the Shea Woods have become a popular natural feature in Stittsville, providing our communities with beautiful scenery and nature walks. The area is already frequented by many who walk their dogs and while the details of the future uses will still need to be discussed, it is my intention to maintain the area to permit off leash dogs. I would like to thank all staff who have contributed in bringing this project to the point it is at now for all of their hard work. I would also like to send a sincere thank you to all of the residents of the Stittsville community who have been engaged in this item throughout this process for sharing their thoughts and their commitment to preserving Stittsville’s natural features. With approval of the MOU, City staff seek to move quickly to carry out the necessary studies and create a plan for the woodlot and park. Although challenges remain to the final protection of Shea Road Woods, the City and CRT Developments are committed to the principle of preserving it for future generations.
Commemorative Naming of Mary Durling Park On October 20th, I had the honour of being part of the official renaming of Mary During Park, formerly Cypress Gardens Park, located at 33 Brae Crescent. Mary Durling was a well known member of this community and an active volunteer in this area for many years. Through her volunteer work, Mary formed rich ties to this community and an overwhelming amount of public support was received during the public consultation for this proposal. Mary Durling was described as a loving, generous and kind person who brought joy to those in her company and made others feel special. Mary also devoted her time to raising awareness and funds for important causes and advocated for those in need of a voice. She unselfishly supported many charitable organizations such as the Heart and Stroke foundation, Cameron Awareness and the Ladies Auxiliary Stittsville Legion for many years. Most importantly, she was said to be a great bingo and dart player! This park is particularly significant to Mary Durling and her children as the family spent a great deal of time enjoying this space and making memories in this exact location over the years. For these reasons, I am very proud that we were able to make this event happen and that Mary Durling will be honoured for her work and dedication to this community through the naming of this park.
Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

Stop accepting harassment as normal
W
hen the news first broke of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as an alleged predator, sexual abuser and rapist, I was in the car on a long drive, alone. I listened to women relay stories of Weinstein. I listened to a call-in program where women expressed the many ways in which they have been humiliated at the hands of a man in power. My first instinct was to shrug it off. Seriously, I thought, what’s the big deal? Surely this is old news. Surely things have changed. I started my career as a producer in television newsrooms in the late ‘90s, cesspools of machoism, intense competition and unusual relationships. In my early twenties at the time, I recall, initially, finding it shocking that men twice my age, married and seemingly intelligent, would flirt, grab and threaten when things weren’t going their way, and when they were. A little squeeze to the thigh in an editing suite here, a senior TV personality stripping down to his underwear behind closed doors in an editor’s office there. After a few weeks of being derided for my blond hair when I erred, or given an extra-long shoulder squeeze by an apparently compassionate, dad-like figure when I did well, I figured this was normal workplace behaviour. The newsroom was full of double entendres and euphemisms. Long days and overnight trips meant odd invitations to meet at bars, restaurants and even hotel rooms. At one party, a particularly powerful male figure took me off guard. He thrust his full weight against me in a corner of a packed room, my neck between his arms. He was angry that I had, on several occasions, shirked tradition, refusing to alter my production schedule to suit his ego; instead

choosing to move my crew and me onto our next shoot. He snapped his fingers and slobbered all over me, (drunk), telling me he’d have my job, “like that.” Was I scared? Yes. Was I angry? You bet. Did I do anything about it? Of course! I adjusted my schedule to suit him. There were a few close calls, where I walked into a situation expecting to be joining a group of people, but finding myself face-to-face with one of my male superiors — once, stupidly, in a hotel room with him in his boxers. Fear, more than confidence, helped me to bumble my way out of the situation, deriding myself for being so hopelessly naïve. Which brings me back to the present. The Weinstein revelations are a big deal; a really big deal. Nothing’s changed in twenty years. As I listened to all those women talking on the radio, shrugging my shoulders, it says a lot about how even I have come to accept this as normal. Some men seem to find it hard to understand how “innocent” comments about a women’s body or gentle touching or subtle threats are problematic. Women are victimized and uncomfortable, altering their behaviour, losing jobs, (or keeping them if they keep quiet), because of some man in a position of authority who’s made her feel
small. When the #MeToo campaign launched, I felt compelled to put a simple hashtag on my Facebook wall. I wasn’t surprised to see many of my fellow women journalists use the hashtag. I was saddened to see how many of my women friends and acquaintances in diverse fields have been victims of sexual harassment and beyond. There’s a lot more I want to say about this. I want to figure out how to socialize my own daughter to not be so nice; to teach her that rocking the boat and speaking up is OK; to tell her if she is ever uncomfortable and frightened, she has the right to blow the whistle and that she won’t be shamed for it. But the latter part isn’t even true. She’s already been shamed and silenced for telling on a couple of kids in the playground who were regularly sandwiching her against a wall. Did the boys get in trouble? No. She was told not to play in that area anymore. By kindergarten, she’s already received the message that it’s her fault and it’s safer to keep her mouth shut. “I hope the ways in which women are degraded, both obvious and subtle, begin to seem like a thing of the past,” wrote Canadian director and actor Sarah Polley in the New York Times last week. Don’t we all? Sadly, the Weinstein revelations may prove to be another infamous flash in the pan — like Ghomeshi, like Trump, (who still happens to be the leader of the free world). We need to find new ways to empower women and girls, yes. But we also need to pay much closer attention to the messages we are passing onto boys about the sexualization of women. Weinstein is just a drop in the bucket.

Green bins need a boost by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
There’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to use of the city’s green bin program, said environment and climate committee chair Coun. David Chernushenko, but he doesn’t want to simply throw money at the problem. This past year, the city spent $350,000 on promotion of the program, but the participation numbers seem stuck, according to a presentation made to the committee on Oct. 17. “What we’ve been doing the last few years isn’t getting us any further,” Chernushenko said, adding changes are coming to the Waste Free Ontario Act, which governs garbage collection. The city’s also working out additional issues with the contentious Orgaworld contract through an arbitrator. Chernushenko said he’s heard the new owner of Orgaworld is anxious to iron out the details, but says he’s surprised there’s still so much on the table three years after the city disputed the contract. “It’s better to take the next year to really figure out what
the obstacles are (to use of the green bin) before we assign a budget,” the Capital Ward councillor said. Under the city’s 20-year contract with Orgaworld, the city pays to process a minimum of 80,000 tonnes of organic waste. But the city has never reached that tonnage since the green bin program began in 2010. In 2016, Ottawa’s diversion rate was 44 per cent, one of the lowest in the province. Only about half of eligible households used the green bin last year. The staff report says that 68,000 homes are signed on to the city’s “Recollect” feature, which pushes out reminders of which week corresponds with the type of collection – Chernushenko said that’s roughly a quarter of eligible households. Duncan Bury, a member of Waste Watch Ottawa, said there’s no silver bullet. Some ideas from other municipalities are as simple as clear garbage bags. Councillors around the table at the Oct. 17 seemed to generally agree that the major problem is the “yuck factor.” Collecting compostables can
be a grimy mess and there’s the risk of maggots. That, coupled with the inability to put plastics in the bins – per the Orgaworld contract – has made some people hesitant. Kevin Wylie, the general manager of public works, said the uptake on the city’s plastic and cardboard recycling programs is really good. He also said there’s a robust education program in place aimed at getting people to use the green bins. “It’s a complex issue and there are contracts in place,” Wylie said of the problem. College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he wonders if the communications strategy needs tweaking. “What’s our goal?” he asked. “Do we want people to know why using it is a good thing, or jump on the bandwagon.” Chernushenko said with more study of the obstacles, council will be able to get at the heart of why there’s so little uptake. “We want people to want to do it,” he said. “Not do it because they drank the KoolAid.”

What’s happening at Richmond Legion Submitted BY WENDY RYAN
Darts – Friday night darts returned on Friday, October 13 at 7:30 pm. The number of teams has risen to 16, which is a great since we only have nine dart boards. This year we will introduce singles play scheduled to take place after team play. You do not have to be a Legion member to take part and there is always a need for spares. Spares pay $5 per night. Check out the Facebook page for schedules, stats and other information. Remembrance

Our Poppy campaign will kick off on Saturday, October 28 with our Door-to-Door canvass. Just be at the Richmond Legion at 9 a.m. and pick up a route map (or two!). All you have to do is knock on doors and ask if they would like a poppy. Some say yes, some say no, some say I have one already and no matter their response,
you just smile and say thank you! It is a great way for students to earn community service hours and will be a great item to add to any post-secondary Legion bursary application. A hot lunch of soup and sandwiches will be waiting for you when you complete the route. We will also have tables set up at local businesses offering Poppies to the public, so, if you are unable to walk the Door to Door Canvass then perhaps you could spend a couple of hours greeting the local shoppers and offering them a Poppy or any of the other items we have to offer. These activities are very important for our fund raising efforts needed to support our various programs for veterans and their families, including our student bursary program, and everyone is welcome to come out and help us. Contact Jane Louks at 63838-3244. The annual Remembrance Dinner will be held on Satur-
day, November 4, and you can call Shirley Morris at 613-8383721 to buy your tickets. We usually have a very interesting guest speaker. Tickets are going quickly and tickets must be picked up and paid for by Monday, October 30, 2017 so call now! The Remembrance Service in Munster will take place on Sunday, November 5, at 2 p.m. and it is held in the Munster Cemetery. The Richmond Service will be on November 11, at 11 a.m. in Memorial Park on the corner of McBean and Perth streets. Ongoing
Exercise classes geared to seniors take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9 a.m.; coffee is served each weekday at 10 a.m. and euchre is played every Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. Movies are shown every second Wednesday at 2 p.m. (check our website www.richmondlegion.ca for details).

She was selected as an alternate, and not invited to the first training camp. About 11 people dropped out and Bush was in and on her way for the second training camp. After that, she was given a training guide and about a year to get ready. Originally, she was to compete in swimming, but a shoulder injury caused a doctor to pull her from that team. She would compete in cycling and was named an assistant coach to the wheelchair basketball team. Bush came in 10th of 15 riders in the road cycling criterium and came in 11th of 18 in the time trial. The wheelchair basketball team had a 1-2 record in pool play and did not advance to the medal round.

The Invictus Games was the inspiration Ottawa resident Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class Cheryl Bush needed to get back in shape and return to her athletic roots. Bush was one of 90 serving and retired Canadian Forces military personnel selected to represent Canada at the third annual Invictus Games held in Toronto Sept. 23 to Sept. 30. The Invictus Games Foundation was established in London, England, in 2014 to pursue and develop the legacy of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry’s adaptive sport event for injured, ill and wounded servicemen and women and veterans. Canada was selected to host the games in 2017 as part of Canada 150 celebrations. Bush, who has been in the Royal Canadian Navy for 32 years and still serves suffered muscle-bone structural injuries to her leg in the engine room of a ship. She shattered her leg in the early ‘90s but has suffered several injuries over the years. Bush was a navy diver and an athlete, having competed in a national championship in Ringette when she was 20 and played in military championships in hockey and ringette. But injuries took their toll and it led to a downswing in Bush’s mood. She dropped out of soccer and hockey. “It’s a vicious cycle,” she said. “The injuries caused depression due to my inability to train and compete, and

The family would like to thank the amazing nurses and staff at the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital for their kindness and compassion towards Bobbie.

Marguirite expected to be the winner
M
other said it was just because I was excited. Emerson said I wasn’t called ‘nervous Nellie’ for nothing. Halloween had rolled around, and I was in a state. I wanted to go as a princess, but my chances of coming up with an elaborate costume such as a princess would wear, were pretty slim. The talk at the Northcote School was that bad Marguirite had a store bought costume, and was having her hair done at Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour. She hinted she even had silver shoes and something with real diamonds in it for her hair. And here I was, destined to wear whatever Mother could throw together from the clothes already being worn to school, or doing chores, or some that long ago should have seen the rag bag. Audrey refused to wear anything that had come within 20 feet of the cow byre, saying it didn’t matter how much of Mother’s cologne she put on, FOR SALE
FOR SALE
MARY COOK Memories you could still smell cow! As happened every Halloween, the school was decorated, parents brought enough lunch to feed all of Renfrew County, and someone was put in charge of a program. The minister from the United Church was always the judge of the best, or most unusual costume, and fair to a fault, he made sure the winner wasn’t a member of the church. Which Cecil said was grossly unfair. His family were devout Uniteds. Those who couldn’t afford store-bought masks, had their faces smeared with stove black, or the soot from inside the coal oil lamp. By the time the date rolled around, FOR SALE
FOR SALE
of course, the cold weather had set in, which meant underneath whatever we were wearing was a pile of long underwear and a couple of sweaters. Often before the school party started, neighbour children would stop at farms along the way for a handout of homemade candy, or if they were lucky, a box of cracker jacks, which cost a whole nickle at Briscoe’s General Store. Mother laid out all the things she thought we five children could choose from to wear as costumes. Mostly, it was old overalls, windbreakers that had seen better days, and an assortment of straw hats that should have been thrown out long ago. Audrey wouldn’t have anything to do with a thing on the bed! Instead she put on a silk dress that had come in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and of course was much too big for her. She tied a silk scarf around the waist, and vanished into Mother and Father’s FOR SALE
FOR SALE
bedroom where Mother kept what little makeup she wore. Audrey came out looking like she belonged in one of those side-shows from the Renfrew Fair, where children weren’t allowed, and any husband worth his salt ignored. I thought she was gorgeous. It didn’t take long for the boys from the Barr Side road to spot her, and I was amazed at the change in my sister, all because of a silk dress that come in the hand-me-down box from Regina! There was Marguirite, with her store-bought costume, the silver shoes she raved about, and her hair done up high on her head, but I couldn’t see anything that looked like a diamond anywhere. There were games, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, and fiddle music, and the school heated up like a night in July all because of the many bodies crammed into the one room. Finally, the United Church Minister clapped his hands together, quieting everyone down, and said he had chosen a winner. Marguirite got out of her chair, ready to bolt up to the
FOR SALE
FOR SALE
front of the room for the prize, so sure was she her name would be called. The minister made a long speech, just as if he were preaching a sermon, and then announced that Audrey Haneman was the winner! Everyone clapped, Audrey turned bright red, Marguirite started to cry, and I was so happy I almost wet my pants. Thank goodness there was no school the next day, because as hard as she scrubbed, Audrey wasn’t able to get rid of all the makeup. I thought she should leave it on for Church. Mother thought differently. Emerson said the prize Audrey got wasn’t worth the effort she went to. I thought it was wonderful! It was a bag of maple leaf cookies from Briscoe’s General Store! No doubt donated by Mr. Briscoe himself. We cleaned them out on the way home from the Northcote School. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Police try to hold line on as services as budget nears BY KIERAN DELAMONT Metro Ottawa
The Ottawa police are grappling with the issue of rising costs, while continuing to try to find savings in an alreadystretched budget. The police department will need to delay contributions to its capital reserves in order to meet the police services board’s direction that the budget grow by no more than two per cent in 2018. While the budget is on track to meet that target, significant concerns were raised that by delaying contributions to reserve funding, the board was simply kicking the can a bit further down the road, rather than addressing the larger issue of rising costs. “My priority was not to cut staff and not impact services, and that’s what this budget does do – it delivers on the two per cent (maximum increase) without touching those areas,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau. But on the way it was done he added, “It’s not my preferred option, but
that’s the option that we’re left with.” “You can only wring a cat’s neck so much, and then eventually you’ll kill it,” said Jim Durrell, vice-chair of the board. “I think we’re very quickly approaching this point for police services.” The board had previously budgeted that it will be able to find at least $2 million in savings each year until at least 2021. They remain confident in that regard, even though for 2018 they were only able to scrape together $600,000 in savings. “Over the past number of years, we have achieved the $2 million,” said Bordeleau. “But that’s becoming more challenging.” Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who chairs the board, was frustrated by what he saw as an election-year budget. “It shouldn’t be, but it is,” he said, suggesting that the two per cent directive should be up for debate by council. “Let city council understand that we’re plugging holes here. We’re not really achieving (anything).”

uOttawa study uncovers evidence of chemical exposures firefighters face BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
In 32 years of fighting fires, Capt. Dave Matschke has witnessed his fair share of loss and devastation. Watching a number of his fellow firefighters face and even lose their fight against cancer helped fuel his quest to seek out University of Ottawa researchers who could collect the evidence needed to prove what firefighters have long thought: the chemical-laden smoke that often surrounds them causes cancer, one of the leading causes of death among firefighters. “It does cut close to home,” said Matschke, who works out of Station 24 in Nepean. “Certainly, we’re a close-knit group in the fire service and whether they’re your best friend or not, they’re still a friend and a com-
rade. “It’s important to make sure we don’t have too many of these (deaths and work-related illnesses) in the future.” The answers firefighters have long sought arrived in a study published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal on Oct. 17, the first of its kind examining the increases of chemical exposure during firefighting. The team, led by the University of Ottawa and involving Health Canada, the University of Toronto and the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec, took urine and skinwipe samples from 27 Ottawa firefighters before and after fires between January 2015 and April 2016. They measured their exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which can cause
DNA mutations and different types of cancer. “Firefighters had from three to more than five times the amount of metabolites, or by-products of PAHs, in their urine after a fire compared to before the fire,” Jennifer Keir, the study’s senior author and a University of Ottawa researcher, said in a statement. “Mutagenic potency of the urine, which reveals the potential for genetic mutations, also increased on average more than four times after a fire.” While the five-fold contamination increase was the average, some firefighters had increased PAH concentrations of up to 60 times higher after a fire, said team leader Jules Blais, professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Ottawa. “We knew there would be exposures, but we didn’t know

how much it would increase following fire-suppression events, and also we didn’t know how much it would vary from individual to individual,” he said. That is, in part, dependent on the firefighter’s role during a fire, the intensity of the blaze and how long it takes to put out. High heat is a catalyst for the formation of PAHs. As well, firefighters know the smoke from a modern fire is laden with toxic chemicals due to the plastics and glues used in buildings and furnishings today. “We’ve always known we’re being exposed. We just never really knew what and how bad,” said Matschke, one of the study’s participants who provided samples to help the research team map out their testing strategy. His idea for a study first blossomed after an email came across his desk from the Ontario Ministry of Labour, offering grants for different research fields, one being health and safety. Matschke took his idea to then-Ottawa fire chief John de-

Together, they settled on investigating exposures faced by firefighters. “I thought it was an area that needed to be worked on,”
Matschke said, noting that previous studies of training fires didn’t represent the full health impacts. See FOLLOW-UP, page 35

Follow-up study to focus on decontamination Continued from page 34
“We just never had the proof of what was in the smoke and how we were being exposed,” said Matschke, who began his firefighting career in Cumberland before Ottawa’s amalgamation. In crunching the data, the research team was surprised to find the chemicals are mainly absorbed through skin, rather than inhalation. Researchers focused on swabbing foreheads, necks and wrists, considered vulnerable to smoke. “We found a close correlation that moved our attention to skin decontamination,” Blais said. “What we’re specifically trying to do is figure out how they’re being exposed so we can reduce those exposures. “The solution is prevention.” The researchers have applied for another grant from the Ontario Ministry of Labour for a second phase of the study to identify how best to protect firefighters. “We think that if we can find better ways to reduce exposures, we can have a short-term impact on the onset of disease,” Blais said, adding that benefits also include improving quality of life, even reducing medical costs. “There’s the human cost. There’s the emotional cost,” he said. “Prevention is so much easier than the alternative.” While the results of the second study won’t be ready for another two to three years, decontamination practices at the Ottawa fire department have already been evolving. Many have been integrated within a newly launched firefighting training curriculum spearheaded by the Ottawa fire

department. Over the past year, firefighters have begun wearing rubber gloves under work gloves to ensure their skin doesn’t come into contact with toxins as they remove their gear after a fire. They also keep their air masks on at a fire call, even during cleanup. Firefighters are also rinsed off at a fire scene, then remove and bag their gear before donning fullbody protective coveralls. They are also to shower back at the station
as soon as possible after a fire call. “All of this is part of the culture we’re going to,” said Deputy Chief Sean Tracey. A neck and head covering has been developed with a non-permeable inner liner that blocks smoke – especially beneficial since the study showed smoke can seep in at the neck, wrists and lower legs, said Matschke. Other new products are emerging on the market, but proof is needed to ensure these offer
enough protection. “The issue with all the new methods that are out there is there’s been no evidence yet to say they’re effective,” said Tracey. The follow-up study may determine whether wipes should be used to clean the skin after a fire, or if they push chemicals deeper into pores, and if hot or cold showers are best. The proof will go a long way to creating buy-in from Ottawa’s 1,500 urban and rural firefighters in adopting new protective measures. “In the past, the fire service has been well known for doing a lot of stuff based on tradition and ‘This is the way we’ve done it,’ with little evidence to support it,” Matschke said. “I think we’ve turned the corner with evidence-based research.” There is a lot at stake. “You would be very hardpressed to find a single Ottawa firefighter that does not know of another firefighter that has not had cancer,” Tracey said. “We think this is going to be an easy sell because this is the greatest risk that they’re facing and it is something that is within their control.”

Fortunately, a program called Project Step (project-step.ca) – funded through the Ottawa Senators Foundation – was able to lend a helping hand. Project Step (which stands for substance abuse, treatment, education and prevention) is the foundation’s biggest investment to date – with a $1-million investment dedicated to tackling youth addictions over 10 years.

Crime Prevention Ottawa working to end violence against women By Jennifer Mcintosh

Crime Prevention Ottawa is working with stakeholders to end violence against women. The advocacy group provided its annual report at the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 19. Last year the group focused on gangs. This year the focus is violence against women — specifically the prevention of sexual assault. One of the key initiatives is working with the city’s special event advisory team, to build sex assault prevention into the city’s process for issuing event permits. Stefanie Lomatski, with the Sexual Assault Network, said the key is to merge the expertise of all stakeholders. She added advocates have already spoken with Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper. Some of the network’s work is to educate people about what to do at big events, such as concerts, when they think an assault is taking place. Project Soundcheck is one of the long-term projects under this umbrella. It started in 2015, and aims to get people to take responsibility for what’s happening around them. Crime Prevention Ottawa’s

Crime Prevention Ottawa is working with stakeholders to end violence against women.The advocacy group presented its annual report to the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 19. work is largely done through stakeholders who engage the community and work on prevention and education. Committee chair Coun. Diane Deans said education is key to changing attitudes. “It has to start at a young age to end violence against women,” she said. Travis Wing, a teacher at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School, spoke to the committee about his work with the project Man Up. The initiative, which is active in 25 schools in the Ottawa area, aims to change young men’s attitudes about women and relationships. “It’s amazing what the students can do at a grassroots level,” he said.

Krishna Mathiyaparanam, from LDHSS, said he got involved because he wanted to learn about the impact of violence against women from a different perspective. Right now, the work is all volunteer-based, with little to no financial support from the school board. But River Coun. Riley Brockington, who used to be a trustee with the public board, said organizers would do well to make a business case and take it to the minister of education in order to get sustainable funding from the province. Last year, CPO invested $30,600 in programs for youth and those aimed at ending violence against women.

The Why and How of Events “How are you?” If you are in business, a working parent (actually, any kind of parent) or an active community leader then I bet your answer is . . . BUSY!!! And even if it’s all good, it is still busy. And so you must be discriminating in how you set your priorities and spend your time. Working smarter is currently being touted as the way to be more productive and effective in a fast paced and highly competitive world. But what does “working smarter” really mean? Particularly when our work/life environment changes so radically and quickly. Technology and social media have completely morphed how we interact with others, build relationships and do business. The art of networking was once straight forward and commonly held as the most effective way of doing business. So attending events was a given. Today, we have so much to choose from in terms of events and marketing it can be overwhelming. Most people in business today could be away from home at a business or community event every day of the week. Most would agree, that is too much. The key is to ensure that the events we choose and the time we spend can produce the outcomes we want. And then we must make the most of each of these opportunities. The West Ottawa Board of Trade mission is to create prosperity. We do that in two main ways; advocating on behalf of the business community and offering relevant services to businesses so they will grow through connecting, learning, promoting and saving money. A part of our strategy for helping businesses, is to host events throughout the year. Our annual calendar is diverse and includes keynotes from local leaders, workshops with expert trainers, all candidates meetings, casual networking events and a few marquee events. In each event we create, we seek to provide multiple benefits for every size and sector of business. Why? Although we continually innovate to serve our members better we also believe in building on existing strengths. And one of those key advantages is collaboration. In a world where individuals, businesses and communities are becoming more disconnected, we strive to bring leaders and business people together for the purpose of optimizing our resources and creating synergy so that we may all thrive. How can our businesses make the most of these events and opportunities? Approach relationship building in a strategic way. Plan the events and meetings you and your team will attend and identify what your goals are for each event as well as your long term goals. We are living in a time of constant information, endless options and expectations for instant results. However, many successful business people understand the best results often come from a long term commitment and building a deep network of trust relationships. The many new and exciting opportunities for business and economic development through technology and globalization are highly effective. One way of doing things should not be abandoned for the other. Rather marry new technologies with face to face interactions to achieve the full potential of your business, your team and yourself as a leader. We invite to check out your local Chamber of Commerce to develop your skills, make connections and grow your business. We hope to see you soon!
