Steering committee formed to create Stittsville’s own BIA Public meeting planned for July 18 at Goulbourn Recreation Complex in effort to start a BIA BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
A move is afoot to create Stittsville’s very own business improvement area (BIA). And with the formation of a Stittsville BIA steering committee and a public meeting on the issue set for July 18 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, Stittsville’s Coun. Shad Qadri says it is an idea whose time has finally come. “Throughout my years involved in Stittsville as a previous business owner, founding member of the Stittsville Village Association, a resident and as the city councillor for over a decade, I feel it is very important that Stittsville has a BIA,” Qadri said. “Given the current growth and changes taking place in Stittsville, I feel that this is opportune timing to have the BIA come to fruition,” Qadri said of establishing a Stittsville BIA. Qadri’s office has been working with the city’s Economic Development Office as a group
of Stittsville businesses and property owners have established a Stittsville BIA steering committee. Qadri said the concept of a BIA for Stittsville has been raised throughout the years by businesses and residents alike. According to Qadri, a Stittsville BIA would have a number of benefits for the local business community and communty as a whole as well. BIA benefits
“A BIA in Stittsville would bring many benefits to our local businesses and the community as a whole,” Qadri said. “As noted in the Ontario Business Improvement Handbook, a ‘business improvement area is a made-in-Ontario innovation that allows local business people and commercial property owners and tenants to join together and, with the support of the municipality, to organize, finance, and carry out physical improvements and promote economic development in their district.’”
Funding for a BIA comes through a levy on commercial property taxes on all businesses that fall within a BIA’s boundaries. A public meeting to discuss establishing a Stittsville BIA is being held on Tuesday, July 18, at 7 p.m. at the GRC’s Hall A at 1500 Shea Rd. The meeting’s focus is to provide information to businesses and commercial property owners. But all residents who are interested in the issue are also welcome to attend. According to Qadri, the boundaries of the BIA would be determined by the steering committee and prior to the establishment of a BIA all affected businesses will be contacted and provided the opportunity to vote on the proposal. “While I have been providing support to moving this initiative forward, it is a completely business led program and decisions are made by the steering committee and once a BIA is formally established then the BIA board, made up of businesses and property owners, would make all decisions,” Qadri explained. For more information, contact the steering committee at StittsvilleBIA@gmail.com.
Blackstone comments extended to July 31 Residents who want to comment on a development that would add hundreds of new housing units as part of the next phase of the Blackstone subdivision now have until July 31 to do so as the comment period has been extended to the end of the month. To provide comments by July 31 or for questions contact Coun. Shad Qadri’s office and city planner Kathy Rygus at Kathy. Rygus@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424, (ext) 28318. — Brian Dryden

“Many crops are weeks behind schedule, and a few are drowning in soggy fields,” Knox said. “Vendor attendance is down at other farmers’ markets in the city, with the bulk of those absences being farmers who struggle to keep their production on target with the rain and lack of sunny days.”
While it may be a down year up to this point for farmers’ markets, there are sunny skies on the horizon for the rest of the season. “The produce farmers are bringing to market are excellent quality. And the recent sunny weather has raised spirits and expectations for excellent crops this summer and fall,” Knox said.

is disappointed that the market won’t start this year, but he’s hopeful there will be a fullblown market in the community in the future. “I have been working with city staff as well as OFM to see how we could possibly go forward with the project this year,” Qadri said. “Unfortunately, and to the disappointment of many, the market will not be going forward at this time.”

By the time the motorcycle riders rumbled out of the parking lot at the Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville Saturday morning July 8, the fifth annual Ride for Autism was a success. It was a success because two young speakers — Brandon, a 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, and Charlotte, a 10-year-old girl on the autism spectrum — said all that you needed to know about why such a ride exists and why those who take part in the event are more than happy to do so. Both of the youngsters told those gathered at the event, including Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, what the difficulties youngsters with autism can face and how they adapt strategies to triumph over those difficulties. The cheers that those gathered at the ride’s starting point in Stittsville greeted their pre-ride speeches with were

Better travel days lie ahead
G
etting around during major events is always a challenge in Ottawa, but one we should expect. So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Canada Day taxed our public services. OC Transpo was swamped, in part because it’s impossible to predict passenger demand that ebbs and flows with the weather. Then there was the challenge of having members of the Royal Family moved to and from Parliament Hill – more streets closed and buses stuck. One thing that could have been improved was the speed of security lines to access Parliament Hill. Too few entrances, too few staff, too few signs for the lineups, and too little food for those who persevered and made it onto the soggy grass. This city deals with VIPs and major celebrations throughout the year. It’s now summer and we’ll have more streets shut down in the coming weeks than we’ll see any other time of year. Plan accordingly – use transit, ride a bike or
walk. Even for folks in the suburbs, it’s possible to drive within cycling or walking distance of our big festivals, and then make an easy arrival. If you’re not planning to attend a festival or other event, check the traffic before you head out on your usual jaunts, just to make sure there’s no parade scheduled to block you in or out. There’s no use merely grumbling about traffic. New smartphone apps like Waze make it possible to check for traffic tie-ups before leaving home, and while on the road. And every time someone – maybe you – avoids congestion, the better off every other driver. You can be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Transit in Ottawa is about to take a great leap forward, with light rail about a year away. When the tunnels open and trains begin service, hundreds of city buses will disappear from downtown, and the payoff for motorists will finally be realized. Yes there are better days ahead in 2018. But for now, let’s enjoy the summer of 2017.
Bigger is not always better for a community
W
hat’s your picture of Canada Day 150? Is it happy folks on Parliament Hill with lots of flags and smiles? I hope. But I wonder if it will be another picture that sticks in your mind. That’s the one that shows the Mackenzie Bridge at rush hour with so many stuck buses on it that it’s impossible to count. That was four days before. The photo was accompanied by warnings that things might get worse. They did. Streets would be closed, barriers erected, normal patterns disrupted. That happens with big events. Canada Day would be the biggest ever and more preparations were needed to get ready for more people. Plus — a big plus — security. You wouldn’t expect things to be smooth under such circumstances and
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town they weren’t. People were angry already and the big event was days away. Meanwhile there were warnings about how bad the situation was expected to be. There would be security screening. Would there ever! Yet, as with all big events, many people had a fine time on the day, the people who got inside, the people who made it through the lineups. The show was great, the mood was good despite the rain. But too many people, way too many, were stuck on the outside. The lineups were too long, too disorganized. There was not enough food,
too few bathrooms. A lot of people were disappointed. It’s not as if the authorities weren’t trying, both on the federal and the municipal side. It was just too big. Add in the rain, add in the extra security for the visiting royals, and it simply couldn’t work. And it probably won’t the next time either. In the aftermath, people will be asking whether it was all worth it. Partly the expense: many useful — and lasting — things could have been done with the money spend on the celebration. But also the sheer inconvenience of it. Should the people who live yearround in town have to put up with a major disruption in their lives for the sake of an event designed to attract tourists? And it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for the tourists either. Could we, perhaps, go a bit smaller? There are those who say no, that the

city will never be respected as a G8 capital unless it is prepared to do things on a grand scale. And, to be fair, people with that attitude have brought improvements to our city life. Ottawa wouldn’t be in the National Hockey League if people hadn’t thought big. Big-thinking people in days gone by brought us some terrific museums, the National Arts Centre, a fine city hall and some ambitious festivals. Well, the city could handle such things without much strain. But there comes a time when the reach exceeds the grasp and the strain is too much. When that happens, the party only causes traffic jams, lineups and the celebratory mood is lost. Next year, which will be the 151st, we can safely think small.

DA-Integrated is an microelectronics services provider of computer chips which was founded in 2002 by Sam Ho and Scott Bulbrook. The firm, which has 30 staff, has over 100 customers both locally and around the world, providing integrated circuit development, product introduction and supply management services. *The Ottawa Public Library’s à la carte food literacy project team is looking to collect 150 original recipes for its cookbook. People are invited to send in one or more favourite family recipes, along with a little explanation of why the dish is so special. Recipes can be submitted on the library’s food literacy web page at https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/food-literacy by entering your library card number, or by sending an email to alacarte@ biblioottawalibrary.ca. The first 50 people to send in a favourite family recipe will receive seed paper to grow tomatoes, lettuce and carrots. *The Friendship Club seniors group hosts both bridge and euchre gatherings. For information about bridge, contact Lorraine at 613-599-3297, and for information about euchre, contact Heather at 613-838-2743. *A recent party at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street had a different twist. Six pinball machines had been set up in the hall for the event, and they proved to be quite the attraction, as there was a lineup at every one of them throughout the duration of the party. Who knows, but this may become a trend at parties — especially ones attended by those in the age 35 to 50 crowd, which was the case at this recent party at the Lions Hall. *It was a close one, but the Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League defeated West Carleton Electric of Fitzroy Harbour 7-6 in a game at Alexander Grove on Wednesday, June 28, grabbing victory in the bottom of the seventh and final inning of the game. *The next monthly luncheon for the Friendship Club will take place on Wednesday, July 26 at noon at the
Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. The menu for this luncheon will include ham, scalloped potatoes, salad, rolls, pie and ice cream. Ginette Hamilton will be on hand to provide the musical entertainment.

Construction is continuing on the Richmond Forcemain project. Bypass pumping of the Richmond Sewage Pumping Station into lagoon cell ‘C’ has started and will continue until the week of July 24th. This allows for the repairs to the existing forcemain to be carried out. In the coming weeks, there will be localized works along the property line behind the Dallaire Street properties. The contractor will continue to bring in construction materials to site such as granulars, pipes and fitting materials and they will continue the installation of a granular access road from Eagleson to the west limit of lagoon cell ‘C’. Streets in the construction zone will be monitored daily for construction debris and clean as required.

Lyme Disease Kits Ottawa Public Health has been advising Ottawa physicians and the public since April 2017 that all parts of Ottawa should be considered risk areas for Lyme disease. The prevalence of Lyme disease in blacklegged ticks will fluctuate in time and geographically throughout the Ottawa region. However, as mentioned, all of Ottawa is considered a risk area for Lyme disease. Lyme disease is an infection caused by a bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Not all ticks carry Lyme disease. In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread by the bite of a black-legged tick, commonly known as the deer tick. Most humans are infected through the bite of an immature tick called a nymph, which is very small and are most active in the spring. Adult ticks are larger and active during the late summer and fall. Ottawa Public Health has put together Lyme disease “kits”, which are available for pickup free of charge at the North Gower Client Service Centre for your information, use and distribution. Each “kit” includes a Lyme disease factsheet, which offers details related to the symptoms of Lyme Disease, tick removal processes, testing protocols and ways to prevent tick bites. The kits also include a tick key, which is designed to help remove any tick that may have attached themselves to a person, a family member, friend or pet. The Client Service Centre is only open on Thursdays. If you are interested in receiving a kit, you can also contact Wendy Eberwein at Wendy.Eberwein@ottawa.ca. For more information on how to protect yourself and your family, please visit www.ottawa.ca/lymedisease. 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.

Around the village of Stittsville Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study
The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).
The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the Notice of Commencement phase, which began on May 18, 2017. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

*Hydro Ottawa will be beginning another phase of the hydro upgrading on Granite Ridge Drive soon. This phase of the work involves installation of a new concrete encased duct bank and manholes, as well as new high voltage cables along the west side of the street. Work will be done between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. The work should begin in mid-July, and any work in front of Stittsville Public School should be completed before school resumes in September. *Four OC Transpo bus stops in Stittsville are among 21 bus stop locations across the city which are going to be improved. This will involve construction of a new asphalt platform and/or concrete shelter pad. Locations are along Fernbank Road east of Stittsville Main Street, as well as one location on the east side of Carp Road at Rothbourne Road. *With the advent of summer, the Stittsville Toastmasters Club — which meets at the Pretty Street Community Centre — will not be meeting every week, but, rather, only every two weeks. So, the meetings will be held on July 12, July 26, Aug. 9 and Aug. 23. The weekly meetings will resume on Sept. 6. *The Stittsville Village Association presents an award to a graduating student at each of the local high schools every year.

The award is presented for community leadership. *Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville is one of 50 outstanding Canadians making Canada a better place for kids. This Outstanding Canadians program is part of Shaw Communications Inc.’s Canada 150 initiative. In this program, Shaw is giving a grant of $1,500 to support the charity of choice for these 50 Outstanding Canadians. For Tysen, the charity of choice is Make-AWish Eastern Ontario, which is the organization for which he has been raising funds with the Mission To A Million campaign. Tysen and the other 49 chosen as Outstanding Canadians in this program were selected from nominations received by Shaw Communications Inc. from October 2016 to February 2017. The 50 selected recipients of these grants from Shaw are considered to be examples of how inspirational and selfless Canadians can be. All are involved in supporting children and youth in Canada in some way, doing exceptional work to improve the lives of children and youth in Canadian communities. Tysen, who attends Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, has so far raised over $600,000 in the Mission To A Million campaign. His goal is to raise $1 million, which will ensure
that 100 kids will have a wish granted to them by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen developed his Mission To A Million campaign after having his own wish to meet his favourite actor, Adam Sandler, granted. He was so impressed with the experience that he set about to ensure at least 100 other youth would be able to experience the same joy he had experienced by having his wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen’s Mission to a Million has been the result, with Tysen setting a five-year goal to reach the $1 million mark in the campaign. *The Gospel Matters Band includes both Lyoness and Judy Woodstock who lived in the Stittsville area at one time.

Plowing match to be held at Twin Elm near Richmond Special to the News
The plows are returning to the Richmond area this year. The Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s annual plowing match will be held at the Charles Brophy farm on Brophy Drive near Moodie Drive at Twin Elm, just outside of Richmond, on Aug. 25 and Aug. 26. The plowing match has been held at the Brophy farm in the past, as well as at other Richmond and Goulbourn sites. In 2014, it was held at Jockbrae Farm in the Munster area. Things will get underway with an opening ceremony on Friday, Aug. 25 at 10 a.m., followed by a VIP plowing competition at 11 a.m. VIP plowers will include local politicians, as well as members of the local media. The VIP plowing competition will be followed by a light lunch and awards ceremony. This will be followed by a plowing workshop from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., which is open to members of the public. Coaches and equipment will be available to allow all workshop participants to learn about the art of plowing. The actual plowing match will take place, rain or shine, on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. Competitors from across Ottawa Carleton will
be plowing against one another, trying to gain a spot to plow at the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Huron County in September. Plowers must plow at local matches such as this Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association event in order to be able to compete at the International Plowing Match. Both modern and vintage tractors, as well as horses, will be used in the plowing. A local Queen of the Furrow chosen at this Ottawa Carleton plowing match will go on to represent the region at the International Plowing Match, where the Ontario Queen of the Furrow is crowned. Each local Plowmen’s Association, such as the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association, selects a local queen. The selection process involves an interview, plowing a parcel of land and giving a speech. Contestants in local Queen of the Furrow competitions are between the ages of 16 and 24, and must be knowledgeable about agriculture, plowing, food production and environmental issues. Taylor Brophy of Richmond was the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s Queen of the Furrow for 2014. It was in 1977 that the association crowned its first Queen of the Furrow. In 1988, Ottawa Carleton Queen of the Furrow Jill
Patterson was crowned Ontario Queen of the Furrow at the International Plowing Match. In addition, this year’s Ottawa Carleton plowing match will include displays, vendors and farm equipment set up at the site. This annual Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match is hosted by the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association, which celebrated its 90th year in 2014. Everyone is welcome to attend and witness plowing on a competitive level. Admission and parking are both free. The Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association is a member of the Ontario Plowing Association
and works to promote agriculture in the Ottawa area. Plowing matches have been a part of Ontario’s agricultural history for over a century. They provide an opportunity for farmers to display their skills in plowing and to teach the importance of soil conservation. Plowmen use equipment ranging from newer reversible plows to walking plows with a team of horses. The plow is one of the oldest tillage tools known, and has been and remains one of the most valuable in agriculture. A plow can transform land into a productive seedbed.
Notice of Completion Baseline Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Class Environmental Assessment Class Environmental Assessment Study Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of a stormwater management (SWM) pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond was identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro SWM Retrofit Study (P/W Study), completed in 2011. The P/W Study was completed as a Master Plan under the Municipal Class EA process, identifying a preferred SWM retrofit plan composed of multiple projects. Prior to implementation, individual infrastructure projects recommended in the retrofit plan are required to complete additional Class EA requirements. For the Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond, the process for a “Schedule B” undertaking has been followed in accordance with the Municipal Class EA (2000), as amended 2007 and 2011. A Class EA Study report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, evaluation of pond options and the selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures.

In an effort to protect the City of Ottawa from ticks and the spread of Lyme Disease, each City Councillor has received tick key removal kits from Ottawa Public Health (OPH) for distribution to residents in their respective communities. Please note that my office is currently out of tick key removal kits and is working with OPH to receive more. Once my office receives another shipment of the kits I will be sure to notify residents in my weekly newsletter and on shadqadri.com. In the meantime, I would encourage residents to visit a local hunting/outdoor and or pet store to inquire about any tick key removal kits they might have available.

I received some disappointing news from the Ottawa Farmer’s Market. Craig Murkar, General Manager of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market (OFM) informed me that the Stittsville Farmer’s Market set to take place in Village Square Park will not be feasible for this season. In order for a farmer’s market to take place the OFM association cannot open a market that does not have at least 51 per cent farm produce. Since receiving this news mid-week, I have been working with City Staff as well as OFM to see how we could possibly go forward with the project this year. Unfortunately, and to the disappointment of many, the market will not be going forward at this time. I will continue my efforts with OFM and the Stittsville Village Association to make sure that OFM comes to Stittsville next season. I look forward to having a successful market at that time for the community.

Dear Residents, the concept of a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for Stittsville has been raised throughout the years by businesses and residents. I am excited to let the community know that working with my office and the City’s Economic Development Office a group of Stittsville businesses and property owners established a Stittsville BIA Steering Committee. Interested individuals are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss establishing a Stittsville BIA on Tuesday, July 18 at 7pm at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex Hall A located at 1500 Shea Road. While this public meeting will be focused on providing information to businesses and commercial property owners, residents are also welcomed to attend. Throughout my years involved in Stittsville as a previous business owner, founding member of the Stittsville Village Association, a resident and as the City Councillor for over a decade I feel it is very important that Stittsville has a BIA. Given the current growth and changes taking place in Stittsville I feel that this is an opportune timing to have the BIA come to fruition. A BIA in Stittsville would bring many benefits to our local businesses and the community as a whole. As noted in the Ontario Business Improvement Handbook, a “Business Improvement Area is a “made-inOntario” innovation that allows local business people and commercial property owners and tenants to join together and, with the support of the municipality, to organize, finance, and carry out physical improvements and promote economic development in their district”. Funding for a BIA is provided through a levy through the commercial property taxes on all businesses within the BIA boundary. The boundaries of the BIA would be determined by the Steering Committee and prior to the establishment of a BIA all affected businesses will be contacted and provided the opportunity to vote on the proposal. While I have been providing support to moving this initiative forward, it is a completely business led program and decisions are made by the Steering Committee and once a BIA is formally established then the BIA Board, made up of businesses and property owners would make all decisions. Additional information prepared by the Steering Committee including the Stittsville BIA Information Sheet and Proposed Boundary Map is available for review at shadqadri.com. For more information you may contact the Steering Committee by emailing StittsvilleBIA@gmail.com. Please also join the Stittsville BIA Facebook Page and the Stittsville BIA Public Proposal Meeting Facebook Event. The public meeting on July 18th will provide more information on the benefits of a BIA and how businesses and properties owners can get involved. At the meeting the next steps including the formal voting and approval process required to establish a BIA will also be discussed. If you are interested but unable to attend the meeting I will share a recap of the meeting in my eNewsletter. There are many great businesses in Stittsville and I would like to showcase the strengths of our Stittsville businesses and promote Shop Stittsville. I would like to thank the members of the Steering Committee for moving this process forward especially the Chair Jim Walker from Walkerworks Picture Framing.
ers, as well as an evening performance by intermediate and senior dancers from the studio’s competitive team. The money raised for Tysen’s Mission To A Million will help deliver wishes to children in the community with life-threatening medical conditions. When wishes are granted, it helps to bring hope, strength and joy to the recipients. “This means so much to us to be able to do this,” said Sherwin. “And there are so many people who help make it a great success — from our parent volunteers, to all of the family and friends who come watch, and of course, all of our great community sponsors.” There were more than 40 local businesses who supported Dance 4 Wishes through sponsorships as well as raffle and silent auction donations. Some of the sponsors included Orr Motors, TMSI Sports Management, Amberwood Chiropractic Clinic, Westhill Homes, Metric Homes, Capital Services, Plantagenet Printing, JoJo’s Pizza, Mattress Mart, Vice and Hunter LLP, Deschenes Poitras Dental, Jaymes White, Saunders Farm and Pocco Pazzo — just to name a few. There are more than 150 dancers from Stittsville, Kanata and other local communities on the Pointe of Grace Competitive Dance Team — boys and girls ranging in age from seven to 17 years old. They perform a variety of dance styles including ballet, jazz, hip hop, step dancing, lyrical and musical theatre. Pointe of Grace’s studios are located on Iber Road in Stittsville. It was in November 2012 that Tysen Lefebvre had his wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario: to meet his favourite actor, Adam Sandler. When Tysen was at Adam Sandler’s office in California, he noticed a wall filled with photos and souvenirs representing all of the good things that he had done for others. This got Tysen to thinking that if someone like Adam Sandler — who is busy as a comedian, writer, producer, dad, husband, production company owner and star in 38 movies — has time to help others, then there is no limit to what Tysen could do to help others as well. So, Tysen established his Mission To A Million, in which he decided to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. This money will help grant 100 wishes for children facing life-threatening medical conditions. To date, he has now raised $624,811.85 in this Mission To A Million campaign.

Shakespearean doubleheader in Stittsville on the weekend 90-minute versions of two well known plays Special to the News
If you are a fan of Shakespeare, then this is the weekend to be in Stittsville. That’s because there’s going to be two of Shakespeare’s plays performed in Stittsville this weekend: A Midsummer Night’s Dream and also Romeo and Juliet. Now how’s that for a Shakespearean experience! Step aside, Stratford! A Company of Fools, a professional Shakespeare company based in Ottawa, will be presenting A Midsummer Night’s Dream this Saturday, July 15 at 7 p.m. at Alexander Grove park in Stittsville. This is part of the company’s Torchlight Shakespeare series in which it presents 90-minute versions of Shakespearean plays in parks and other outdoor locations across the city of Ottawa through July and August. Then, on the very next evening, Sunday, July 16, also at 7 p.m., Bear & Co., an Ottawa theatre company which presents Shakespearean plays in city parks throughout the month of July, will be performing Romeo and Juliet at Par-la-Ville Park in the Fairwinds community of Stittsville. A Company of Fools has been presenting its version of Shakespearean plays in parks in Ottawa for 15 years now. In these plays, A Company of Fools performers combine physical theatre techniques of clown, mask and puppetry with the classical Shakespearean text. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this summer’s
Torchlight Shakespeare production, has been adapted for A Company of Fools by Mary Ellis, who is also the director. There are no tickets as admission is based on a “pay-what-you-can” basis, with donations collected at the end of the production. The suggested donation is $20. In this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, there’s lots of love going around. Helena loves Demetrius. Demetrius loves Hermia. And Hermia loves Lysander. This love story is further complicated with an enchanted forest, a mischievous fairy, a feuding king and queen and a troupe of wannabe actors. The result is a fun filled, hilarious and love filled evening of entertainment, outdoors in the summertime. Eight actors make up the cast for the production. Those attending are urged to take along a lawn chair or blanket to sit on while watching the play beneath the tall pines at Alexander Grove park. Bear & Co., in its Shakespeare in the Park 90-minute production of Romeo and Juliet, will be presenting this well-known Shakespearean play in the open air of Par-la-Ville Park in Stittsville. Six actors will present this love story involving the warring families of Verona where death may be a better option than marriage to a chosen suitor. See TWO EVENING, page 17

JULY 19 7:30 PM
Two evening performances outside Continued from page 16 Admission for this Bear & Co. production is also by donation, with $20 per person being the suggested contribution. Those attending should take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating. A Company of Fools has been performing Shakespearean plays since 1990, building a reputation as a highly physical troupe doing interactive shows both indoors and outdoors. It has toured across Canada. It is perhaps best known for its Torchlight Shakespeare series in which it takes Shakespeare plays to outdoor venues
in community parks and other locations throughout the city of Ottawa each summer. The mandate of A Company of Fools is to produce innovative, entertaining and accessible shows based on the works of William Shakespeare. Bear & Co. entered the Ottawa theatre scene in 2012, performing at the Ottawa Fringe Festival. It performs both indoors and outdoors, with casts of varying size, offering plays not only from the Elizabethan era but also from the present day such as the upcoming Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?
Bear & Co.’s guiding principle is “compelling theatre, close to home.” Its Shakespeare in the Park series in July offers shows packed with sword fights, fire dances, glorious text and soaring music. Bear & Co. also performs indoors at the Gladstone Theatre, producing both classic shows as well as new works showcasing Ottawa playwrights. It wants to produce and create memorable theatre. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a Shakespearean comedy portraying the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the
Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, a former queen of the Amazons. This play is considered one of Shakespeare’s most popular works and is performed around the world. It consists of several interconnecting plots with much of the play taking place in a forest inhabited by fairies. Romeo and Juliet, on the other hand, is a Shakespearean tragedy about two star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It also is one of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays and is performed frequently.

Killing off the Entry Level Job The Liberal government has introduced a bill, to much fanfare, that will increase the minimum wage for Ontario workers to $15/hour. But things may not be as rosy as the government would have you believe. I’ve been listening to the small and medium sized business owners in my riding and all around Ottawa, and they have told me that they simply cannot afford this increase. There was a study commissioned by that the city of Seattle to look into the effects of their $15 minimum wage. That study said that jobs were lost, that people were working fewer hours and that overall, minimum wage earners in all sectors were earning less money after the increase. And where wages didn’t decrease prices increased. I believe we can expect to see the same here in Ontario. That is why I am opposing this minimum wage increase. When employers are forced to pay so much for entry level jobs they are going to want to get the best they can for their money. So we can expect them to want more experienced workers that will require minimal training and work more efficiently than a student on their first job. The entry level job for high school students is slowly going to vanish. Minimum wage is not supposed to be something that you live on permanently, it is supposed to be a starting point for building a career.

Mary completely enjoyed the Orangeman’s parade
I
t didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July. Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago. Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn. If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up standing in the blazing sun under one of the awnings a very few stores had over their doorways. And so that morning, we headed into Renfrew at a time when we would usually be just eating our breakfast. Every ounce of me tingled with excitement. There was nothing that thrilled me more than marching bands and crowds of people, and I could certainly be assured of both as we drove into town in the Model T, hoping we could make the 12.5 mile trip without a flat tire. “Couldn’t be better,” Father said as he wheeled the car next to the curb right in front of the Chinese restaurant. “When can we have the lunch?” Emerson wanted to know. Mother just rolled her eyes in answer. He was treading on thin ice to begin with, as he fought Everett to sit next to the back window, which wasn’t a window at all, but rolled up curtains tied with narrow leather straps. It seemed like hours had passed before we heard the bands coming onto the main street from the fair grounds, and I knew from remembering the last Orangeman’s parade, that leading the bands and people walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in white himself, with sashes and ribbons in bright orange. I was fair tingling by the time we saw the white horse three blocks away, and you could hear the people clapping and cheering, as the Orangemen marched behind bands. They too, were all dressed in white, with orange banners across their chests. I

“And right then I made up my mind that as soon as I was old enough, I was going to become an Orangeman!” asked my sister Audrey why we couldn’t be in the parade too, and she said you had to be Irish, and preferably a Catholic. Well, there were the Briscoe’s and they certainly weren’t Catholic! Audrey told me to hush up and listen to the bands soon to be in front of us, as we leaned against the Model T. And then we heard the clomp-clomp of hooves, and knew King Billy would soon appear. And appear he did! Such splendour! Such vivid colours, and the plumed hat, which was obviously too big for him, covering his eyes, so that he had to toss his head back every few seconds to see where he was going and wave to the throngs of people. And right behind King Billy was the Orangeman who was obviously just as important as King Billy himself. He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen. His white cap was rimmed with orange braid, and every so often he would take the horn and use it to push the cap back, and then he’d give the little drum a rap with the horn for good measure. He didn’t look right to me, and it was Father’s comment, which told me why. “He’s as drunk as a hoot-owl,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll make it as far as the swinging bridge.” I lost count of the number of bands and the people walking behind, some children far younger than I was, dressed in full regalia for the day. And right then I made up my mind that as soon as I was old enough, I was going to become an Orangeman! I couldn’t think of anything more exciting than walking in a parade dressed in white with an orange sash, and band music filling the air. Even though my sister said you had to be Irish and preferably a Catholic, which I doubted, I decided if I had to give up the Lutheran Church, and my German heritage, so be it! At that young age, I decided if that was the price of becoming an Orangeman, it was a price I was willing to pay! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Group trying to save Camp Woolsey Special to the News
Trudy Smith, long one of the stalwarts of Guiding in Stittsville, is now part of a group effort to try to save Camp Woolsey, the Guiding camp on the Ottawa River in West Carleton. The goal of the group is to preserve Camp Woolsey and the experiences which it offers for future generations of girls. The camp's closure and sale has been announced by the Ontario Council of Girl Guides of Canada This year marks the 80th anniversary year for Camp Woolsey. That’s eight decades of fun times, great memories and long time friendships. Many who are Guide leaders today have camped at Camp Woolsey as children. There are some families in the Ottawa area who have four generations of history with Camp Woolsey. Trudy points out that the experience of camping at Camp Woolsey is a big reason why families continue to support Guiding in the Ottawa area. The loss of Camp Woolsey will erode support for the organization. A designated Girl Guide camp like Camp Woolsey guarantees a safe experience for girls involved in Guiding. Trudy points out that without access to Guide-owned camps, the ability of local Guide units to deliver this camping programming throughout the year will become very limited and will put Guiding in competition with other users for the appropriate facilities. She notes that camping has always been central to Guiding, offering girls from a wide variety of backgrounds the opportunity to discover the natural world, develop outdoor skills and gain confidence. A GoFundMe campaign #save Woolsey has been launched at www.gofundme.com/save-
camp-woolsey to fundraise for minor expenses. There is also a short term goal to increase Guide unit reservations at Camp Woolsey. The group that has been formed to try to save Camp Woolsey from closing also has ideas about trying to lower expenses by increasing volunteer involvement, using volunteer skilled labourers for maintenance work and approaching local businesses for support to help lessen annual maintenance and operating costs. The long-term goal of those trying to save Camp Woolsey is to develop a sustainable business model which will keep Camp Woolsey open for generations to come.

The waterfront at Camp Woolsey on the Ottawa River in West Carleton features a sandy beach where Guiding girls can have fun swimming, canoeing and enjoying the water and sand.

But Canada Day 2017 was particularly special for Elena Khomoutova and Alexander Khomoutov of Richmond because they are celebrating their 25th year in Canada. Elena, an artist, and Alexander, now a photographer, credit not only their coming to Canada, but also the 25 joyful years that they have spent here, the last 22 as citizens, to a Canadian couple, Clifford Shirtliffe and his wife Trudy whom they call their “Canadian parents.” “We feel they are our Canadian parents, “ Alexander says, noting that the couple took care of he and his wife Elena just as if they were their own children, ever since they first arrived in Canada. And they still maintain a Christmas tradition of visiting at the John Curry/Metroland Shirtliffe home in Blackburn Hamlet Artist Elena Khomoutova (left) and her husband, photographer every Christmas. They also keep in Alexander Khomoutov (right) flank a painting of the Rideau Canal in touch on special occasions such as the downtown Ottawa which was created by Elena and which is included in recent Mother’s Day.

ization Organization (ISO) and, more specifically, involved with its thermal insulation committee with which Cliff was also involved. It was through this contact with Cliff at the ISO that Alexander was invited to do research at the National Research Council in Ottawa where Cliff worked. Funding was provided so that Alexander and his wife Elena could come to Canada, initially for six months, a term which kept getting extended so that Alexander ended up being at the NRC for three years, working in a group with Cliff. For the first two years, Alexander and Elena were just visitors to Canada but then they applied for landed immigrant status and in 1997 both became Canadian citizens. When they had first come to Canada, they had absolutely no intention of staying, but they both were happy here, with Alexander enjoying the work at the NRC while Elena had found a gallery which handled her paintings. So they decided to try to stay and did become Canadian citizens. Alexander had indeed come to Canada for a two week stint to give a
presentation at the NRC a year before he and Elena came together. During this brief visit, Cliff again was always right there, helping Alexander. He picked Alexander up every morning to go to the NRC and drove him to the airport at the end of the two weeks. This two-week visit to Canada is memorable to Alexander, not only because of Cliff’s help during that time, but also because he saw Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev as he was walking along an Ottawa street and even took a photograph of him. They did not speak, but Alexander notes that seeing Gorbachev up close like that never would have happened in Russia. It was Gorbachev’s reforms in Russia which made it possible for Alexander to receive Russian permission to accept the NRC offer to come to Canada, something which would not have been possible before the Gorbachev reforms. When Alexander and Elena did arrive in Canada 25 years ago, they did not understand the culture and society. See ‘MAGIC OF CANADA,’ page 24

This is where Cliff and Trudy stepped in to help. They helped find an apartment for them after hosting Alexander and Elena in their home for three days. They told them
about the need for insurance. They found bicycles for the newly arrived couple. And later on, Cliff took Alexander to get a driver’s licence and helped him buy a used car, steering him away from a possible deal that would

have seen him acquire a vehicle with a lien on it which would have led to him losing the car and the money that he spent to get it. And even later, Cliff and Trudy helped Alexander and Elena purchase their first home
in Canada. Because of all the help which they received from Cliff and Trudy over the years, Alexander and Elena are viewing this year not only as a year of celebration, both for themselves and the country, but also as a year of gratitude for the help which Cliff and Trudy have given them over the years. To mark this special year, Alexander and Elena have published an ebook entitled Magic of Canada which is now available at Amazon Kindle. It features a selection of Elena’s paintings of Canadian scenes along with a selection of Alexander’s photographs, also related to Canadian scenes. The book has been created not only in appreciation and gratitude for the last 25 joy-filled years that Alexander and Elena have spent in Canada but also has been dedicated to Cliff and Trudy for all their help and friendship over these past 25 years. Alexander and Elena also feel fortunate to now be part of the Richmond community, saying that it is an “amazing feeling” to be part of what they call the Richmond family. The book is meant to show not only the beauty of Canada through the paintings and photographs in it but also is meant to acknowledge the kindness of the people of Canada as exemplified by Cliff and Trudy whose help over the years has made, in Alexander’s words, “our life in Canada joyful.” The book includes four-season photographs and paintings of Ottawa as well as other paintings and photographs of scenes from Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver, Victoria and Mont Tremblant. The book Magic of Canada can be found on Amazon Kindle at http://amzn.to/2sSC6uo. For more information about the book and its contents, check out the website http://www.lightfromart.com/.

Special to the News
Shears Hair Design in Stittsville has donated $1,200 to Hair Donation Ottawa. The funds donated have all been generated thanks to the sale of handmade greeting cards at Shears Hair Design, which is located in the plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hobin Street. The sale of the cards themselves at $3 each during the period from last November to May saw $600 raised. This $600 total was matched by Shears Hair Design, making the total donation to Hair Donation Ottawa $1,200. MaryAnne Cowan, who makes the handmade cards, donated the cards which were sold at Shears Hair Design to raise funds for Hair Donation Ottawa. The cards were placed on the entrance counter at Shears Hair Design for perusal and sale to clients and customers. The cards mark different occasions such as Mother’s Day. Cowan is a former principal at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville. Hair Donation Ottawa is a fundraising organization founded by Stittsville real estate salesperson Helene Hutchings, herself a cancer survivor, to support cancer research. At its major fundraising event last April, Hair Donation Ottawa raised over $110,000. This major event, held in the hair styling department at Algonquin College, involves the volunteer hair styling efforts of hair stylists from across the city. Wayne Patrick of Shears Hair Design is one of those who is involved in this fundraising event.

Grade 8 leaving ceremony at A. Lorne Cassidy in Stittsville Special to the News
Thirty-nine students at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville completed the first 10 years of their educational journey at the school’s Grade 8 leaving ceremony at the end of June. Principal Andrew Canham, in his remarks at the leaving ceremony, in noting that these students were leav-
ing A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville and going on to a number of new schools to continue their education, urged them to stay in touch with each other, something very doable in today’s world thanks to social media. He said that they had come together as a group during their time at A. Lorne Cassidy, adding that they
should look in the rear-view mirror at times to remember their years at A. Lorne Cassidy. Principal Canham urged them never to forget the love and involvement of their parents, who he described as their first teachers. In addition, he urged the students to never quit as they continue on in their learning and in their lives.

Each of the 39 Grade 8 students leaving the school this year received a diploma from their home room teacher. Each class was then presented as a group to the assembly of parents, grandparents, siblings and others who had gathered in the school gymnasium for the ceremony. Teachers Brad Faulkner and Jodi Eady presented their classes, 8BF and 8JE. “I present the class of 8VE,” teacher Valerie Edgecombe announced after she had presented diplomas to her students. And the same procedure was followed by teacher Matthew Beanish as he presented his assembled class of 8MB after he had presented each student with a school-leaving diploma. Besides the presentation of these diplomas, the ceremony also included the presentation of a number of awards marking individual student achievements and accomplishments. The Norm Cooksey Athletic Award was presented to Rishika Achyuthan and Owen Pennock. This award rec-
ognizes students who have participated in a variety of extracurricular sports as well as taken leadership roles in the school’s physical education programs. The award is named after the late Norm Cooksey, a longtime trustee with the former Carleton Board of Education. The Band Award, given to a Grade 8 student who has consistently shown dedication, leadership and effort through the school year, contributing to the band program and its members, was presented to Meaghan O’Neill. The Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan Friendship Award is a special award presented annually at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. It is in memory of Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan, a teacher at the school who died in a car accident 23 years ago. It was presented this year by Grade 4 teacher Suzanne Morneau, who was a friend of Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan. See AWARDS PRESENTED, page 34

ma-Ventresca. The Ontario Principal Council Principal’s Award acknowledges student leadership and is presented annual to recognize a student who inspires others. It goes to a student who has been looked to by other students and also staff for leadership and direction. Normally, this award is presented to just a single student, but this year principal Canham broke with tradition and presented the award to two recipients, Eliana de Lima-Ventresca and Rishika Achyuthan. Another special presentation each year at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School’s Grade 8 leaving ceremony is the awarding of the A.L.C. Letter Awards. The A.L.C. Letter Award is presented to students who have consistently made positive contributions to the school in the areas of athletics, citizenship and academics. They have been enthusiastic participants in the school’s activities throughout the year. They have provided leadership for both students and adults in the school community, motivating and setting standards for others. Eleven Grade 8 students received the A.L.C. Letter Award this year. The recipients were Rishika Achyuthan, Eliana de Lima-Ventresca, Ashley Newman, Meaghan O’Neill, Owen Pennock, Jack Prikker, Matthew Roy, Lauren Silverthorn, Kyle Slingerland, Ryan Smallegange and Zoe Veitch. Valedictorians for the Grade 8
class of 2017 were students Jack Prikker and Zoe Veitch. They recounted some of the fondest memories of the Grade 8 students as they went over some of the activities experienced by the students over the years at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. This year’s Grade 8 leaving ceremony at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School continued a tradition which began at the school’s official opening ceremony 26 years ago. This is the presentation of the school key which was made by the Science and Technology Centre at Carleton University and was formally presented at the school’s official opening ceremony to mark the handover of the school from the builder to the then-Carleton Board of Education. The key features a creative design in which the letters ALC are formed into the key bit. In addition, the letters are stylized to create the image of two students. Since its presentation at the school’s official opening, the key has been used at the Grade 8 leaving ceremony in a special way. It is presented to a Grade 8 student who is leaving the school as a way of symbolizing the contribution of the Grade 8 students to the school and as a reminder of the ongoing invitation for these students to return and visit the school in the future. And the Grade 8 student, in turn, presents the key to one of the school’s younger students to carry on the tradition. See KEY PRESENTATION, page 40

Seminar series for creative professionals being offered Special to the News
If you are a professional or aspiring professional in a creative field, here’s something that could be very informative and useful for you. It’s a new seminar series for creative professionals being offered in Stittsville that will deal with issues faced by creative service businesses such as graphic design, photography, visual arts, filmmaking, music, and creative writing. The series will include a creative services business session, a music law session, a creative writing legal session, and a filming legal session. These creative law sessions will be led by Ottawa-based entertainment lawyer and Stittsville resident Byron Pascoe from Edwards PC, Creative Law. He is offering these sessions in co-operation with StoryArt Creative Centre and Boutique, with all of the
sessions to take place at the StoryArt Creative Centre at 1572 Stittsville Main St. in Stittsville. A music law session is taking place on Thursday, July 20 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This music law session is for musicians and people who work with musicians such as managers. Byron will speak about some of the more common music agreements including manager, band, record label, and publishing agreements. He will also cover some of the more common questions that his music clients ask him. “Being a musician is a business,” he says. “As such, it’s important for musicians to understand their rights and responsibilities to others.” Mel Richer, StoryArt creative director, is pleased to be able to host Byron Pascoe and this creative law series.
“Having access to a local resource to answer questions specific to creative services businesses is great,” Ms. Richer says. More information and registration for the seminars can be found at StoryArt.ca or by calling StoryArt at 613435-3601. Byron Pascoe is a lawyer with Edwards PC, Creative Law. It is a bou-
tique law firm that provides legal services to digital media, TV, film, animation, music, publishing, and other creative industry clients. He began his professional career managing a TV and new media production company that produced comedy programming for Canadian and U.S. TV networks. During law school, he co-founded the Charter Project, a national education initiative about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He produced public service announcements about the charter featuring Canadian celebrities. Millions of Canadians watched these announcements on TV and in movie theatres. As a board member of OttawaThe StoryArt Creative Centre and based SAW Video and Artists’ Legal Boutique at 1572 Stittsville Main Services Ottawa, Byron co-ordinates and speaks at workshops about the Street in Stittsville.

Two new Lions Special to the News
The Stittsville District Lions Club has two new members. Jennifer Fayle and Helen Burke were both welcomed as new members of the club at a special induction ceremony at the club’s June 28 meeting. The two new members were led into the Lions hall by their sponsors. Lion Jack Burke sponsored his wife Helen while Lion Beth Lewis sponsored Jennifer. The two were led into the hall blindfolded to provide a brief experience for them with having no vision since a major Lions Club initiative is helping eliminate blindness in the world. The Lions Club’s focus on sight began when American Helen Keller John Curry/Metroland challenged Lions in 1925 to be her At the induction of two new members into the Stittsville District Lions Club are (from left) sponsor Jack “Knights of the Blind.” The ceremony also included the Burke, new member Helen Burke, new member Jennifer Fayle and sponsor Beth Lewis.
reading of the Lions Code of Ethics and the International Purposes of Lions. Purple and white candles were lit during the ceremony. It was pointed out that the Lions were founded in the United States in 1917 and have now grown to be the world’s largest service organization, found in many countries around the world. The Stittsville District Lions Club was founded in 1964. After the blindfolds were removed, the two new Lions were presented with their Lions vests as well as their certificates of membership. The other Stittsville District Lions Club members at the meeting all welcomed the two new members, greeting them one-on-one at the end of the formal ceremony.

Jay Bilodeau had a passion for golf. Even 72 holes in a day was not unknown to him. Indeed, Jay was always trying to improve his golf game and even dreamed of making the pro tour. But like some other young people, Jay fell into a drug addiction and in March, 2011, at just 22 years of age, Jay died as a result of this addiction. His death happened just one day before he was offered what would have been a dream job for him, working at a local golf course. But thanks to his parents, Janet and Rheal Bilodeau of Richmond, his sister Renee Bilodeau and friends, Jay is leaving quite a legacy through a golf tournament that has been held every year since his death. This year’s seventh annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Classic was once again held at the Manderley Golf Club near North Gower. And, again this year, as has become a tradition with the tournament, a handcrafted wooden bench in memory of Jay was beside the practice putting green at Manderley. This bench is taken to the tournament site every year from its normal place in the Bilodeau backyard in Richmond. Despite a very rainy Friday, Saturday, July 8 turned out to be free of rain and following the noontime shotgun start, an afternoon of good weather greeted the participating golfers. Jay had wanted to give back to young people in trouble with addiction and this tournament accomplishes this as it raises funds for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, which helps youth who are struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues. Before this year’s tournament, the Jay Bilodeau Memorial Classic has raised over $12,000 for the new 30-bed treatment facility for youth which the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is getting close to building near Richardson Side Road in West Carleton. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is well-known in the Ottawa area for its work helping youth with addictions. Since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has helped thousands of youth aged 13 to 21 overcome addiction and mental health issues. It is eastern Ontario’s only live-in treatment facility. In addition to the golfing and following dinner, this event also included a silent auction, an additional way of raising funds for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. Jay Bilodeau was a high school graduate and an active youth who loved his family and friends. He loved sports including hockey, snowboarding, fishing and, of course, golf. Through this annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Classic and its support of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, Jay continues to make a difference in the lives of others.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
I am in a serious, committed relationship and have been living with my partner for 5 years now. I am uncertain if we will ever marry because neither one of us really believe it is something that we want. Friends of ours were asking us if we had ever thought about a cohabitation agreement given our living situation. We had never heard of such an agreement, what is it all about? Many couples today choose to live together in long-term and committed relationships without marrying. What some couples do not understand is that the law treats married and unmarried, or common-law, spouses very differently. It is important to understand these differences and how they will affect a person’s rights to property, support payments or a partner’s estate. Some key things to remember: in Ontario, property is not automatically divided between unmarried couples if a relationship ends; unmarried spouses may have a spousal support obligation, but only if they have a child together or if they have been living together for at least three years; and only married spouses automatically have a right to share in a spouse’s estate if that spouse dies without a will, no matter how long a couple has been in a relationship or whether they have children together.
A cohabitation agreement gives couples a great opportunity to carefully consider each other’s financial situation now and in the future, and decide together how they wish to share property, pay (or not pay) support to a partner in the event of a break-up, and what happens to the estate upon the death of a partner. It is important to plan ahead, be aware of your rights, and know what will happen if a relationship ends by choice or in the event of a death. The good news is that it’s never too late to draft a cohabitation agreement, whether you are considering moving in together, or whether you have been living together for a short or long period already.
