Two Row Times, November 23, 2022

Six Nations Food Bank desperate for emergency help, reporting a six-fold increase for families in need

earners are now using the food bank, too.

“We’re getting increased numbers, but not increased donations.”

Six Nations Food Bank usage has exploded during the past three years, with numbers increasing from about 50 people a week to about 300 visitors a week now, six times the average. The shocking statistics come from Chair Mary Monture, who said they’ve had to start giving out less food to meet the ever-growing demand from the community for food.

“It’s very hard now,” Monture told the Two Row Times. “Our numbers keep increasing every week. It depends on the week and time of year.”

And as the holidays approach, the food bank is in desperate need of donations.

They operate based on donations and don’t have regular funding.

“I’ve been sending out donation letters but it’s not enough to carry us through,” said Monture. “Ive applied to the Commu

nity Trust,” she said, and she’s keeping her fingers crossed.

Food is going out as fast as it comes in, she said.

Food drives have long been standard around the holidays but Monture says whenever they’re given food from a drive, about 75 per cent of the items are expired.

“We don’t give expired food to people. What are they thinking? They (cus tomers) could get sick.”

Monetary donations are better because they

get excellent deals on bulk items from a wholesaler in Toronto.

“Our money goes further. We get wholesale.”

The food bank has spent $120,000 on food alone from January to September of this year.

“We’re ordering more. We used to order other every week, now it’s every week.”

And it’s not just people on fixed incomes using the food bank, either, she said.

What used to be con sidered middle-income

On Thursdays, which are the food bank’s distribution days, they’re out of bottled water within an hour of opening.

They used to hand out a dozen eggs on Thursdays; they’re now handing out half a dozen.

Three bags of milk has turned into one bag of milk on food distribution day.

Monture is unsure of what advice to give on how people can survive the ever increasing cost of food.

“I can’t. Every situation is different. What works for me is not going to work for somebody else.”

They’ve also lost out on a lot of income by waiving their $5 user fee during the pandemic.

That means what could’ve been about $1,500 a week in income, based on 300 users a week, to buy food is now gone.

They also used to hold various fundraisers, which had to be dropped during

the pandemic, resulting in even greater losses of income and donations to buy food.

“We survive on a very low budget,” said Monture.

She said she’s not sure if they’re doing a turkey give-away this year. She doesn’t usually hear from the donor until the week of the giveaway.

“It’s really hard to orga nize these things. We don’t know what we’re going to get from week to week.”

More and more people are feeling the squeeze when it comes to their food budget, and Monture says they shouldn’t feel ashamed to use the food bank.

“It takes a lot of cour age to walk through those doors. It’s humbling to ask for help.”

The Six Nations Food Bank is appealing for do nations right now, as well as volunteers to help stock shelves.

Anyone wishing to donate to the food bank can send money via e-transfer to sncfoodbank@gmail. com.

The Six Nations food bank needs donations to cover families in need on the territory as inflation keeps upping need among the people. In the last three years there has been a 6X increase in food bank dependency for local families..

Six Nations gets pandemic recovery funding for tourism

improvements to the his torical Royal Chapel of the Mohawks on the outskirts of Brantford.

Six Nations is getting $500,000 in funding to help the sector with its pandemic recover efforts.

The announcement was made at The Gathering Place on Friday, where Filomena Tassi, minister responsible for the Fed eral Economic Develop ment Agency for Southern Ontario, said the money is part of a country-wide, $500 million tourism recovery fund.

Matt Jamieson, direc tor of Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Corp., said the money will go towards upgrades at Chiefswood Park, including eight glamping units, as well as

“I am pleased to announce that the proj ects funded through this investment, have been well-received by our guests and community members. The splash pad and virtual reality expe riences are complete and seeing increased engage ment. We are very happy with how the pavilion is coming along and look forward to the added val ue this facility will bring to Chiefswood Park. The pavilion will be utilized as a seating area and busi ness centre, as well as a space where we can offer cultural programming and activities year-round.”

Tassi said the funding will help bring tourists back to Six Nations to learn about the communi ty’s history.

“The Government of Canada is committed to investing in Indigenous businesses, organiza tions and communities to achieve their goals, increase their participa tion in the economy and create prosperity,” said Tassi. “With investments through the Tourism

Relief Fund and Canada Community Revitalization Fund, FedDev Ontario is providing Indigenous tourism owners with sup port to attract visitors, en hance public spaces, share knowledge and create jobs and economic growth in their communities.”

Six Nations was one of 23 Indigenous communi ties getting $9.6 million to enhance tourism and economic development.

The government said the investments will help Indigenous-led organiza tions grow and diversify and the unique experienc es and improved public spaces will attract visitors, leading to new jobs and economic growth.

Six Nations’ funding will also include devel oping and marketing virtual reality experiences at Her Majesty’s Royal Chapel of the Mohawks and Chiefswood National Historic Site (the home of famed poetess Pau line Johnson), through the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF).

In addition, SNGREDC will renovate washroom

and laundry facilities at Chiefswood Park and build a pavilion and meet ing space; install a new splash pad; and construct eight glamping units with roof-top solar panels.

“Indigenous businesses and their communities of fer authentic experiences, community spaces and an cestral cultural teachings that are important to our society and our economy,” said Randy Boissonnault, minister of tourism and associate minister of finance. “Through the Tourism Relief Fund and

Canada Community Re vitalization Fund, we are enhancing community in frastructure, public spaces and tourism attractions to drive growth and wel come visitors from Canada and around the world.

Together with Indigenous partners, we are building an economy that works for everyone.

Vance Badawey, Parlia mentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous Services and Member of Parliament for Niagara Centre, said tourism was a particularly hard-hit sec

tor during the pandemic.

“It is important that we continue to invest in Indigenous communities and tourism projects to ensure the strong eco nomic growth and success of Indigenous tourism, as well as reinforcing the importance of gathering places to bring people to gether to share experienc es, culture and history.”

Other applicants are eli gible for the tourism pan demic relief funding with an application deadline of March 31, 2023.

Haldimand Pledge included restoration for ‘such others’ from ancient village of Onaquaga

NAHNDA GARLOW nahnda@tworowtimes.com

Of the 1843 people who settled at Grand Riv er after the American Revolution, there were two people groups who arrived here in 1784 who identified as Aughugos: Oghguaga Joseph’s Party of 49 people and Oghquagos who numbered 113.

Those two parties settled in two villages along the Grand — one just north of the village of Onondaga and another right at the Oxbow, beside the Mohawk Village that was near the Mohawk Chapel. This was also the site of the first Six Nations council house prior to it being moved to Ohsweken in the 1860s.

One thing that is not talked about widely is the arrival of the Oghquagos. Who are they and why were they permitted to settle with the Six Nations along the Grand if they were not one of the Six?

You may remember the reference to this ancient village in the Haldimand Pledge of 1779 where the Governor promised to compensate the residents of this particular village for the destruction of their homes and their losses by American rebels — though he then spelled it Aughu go.

The village, known as Onoquaga, and referred to throughout history with over 50 different spelling variations — was the

southernmost village in the Six Nations territory.

Onaquaga is located on the Susquehanna River at the bottom of what is now New York State just above the border to Pennsylva nia.

Because of its location, southeast of the Finger Lakes on the Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers it was a central trading hub for the entire region and because that trading hub was controlled by Oneidas and Tuscaroras for over half a cen tury it was a ma jor stronghold for the Iroquois economy. Prior to it being an Ir oquois commu nity it is record ed as being a Susquehannock community.

Prior to its destruction in 1779 during the Sullivan Cam paign, American officers called it a ‘metropolis’ and noted it was one of the most beautiful villages they had ever seen. It had an estimated population of between 700-1000 people. An Oneida village was located around the island in the Susquehanna. Tus carora villages were to the north and south along the river. A council house was situated on the west side of the river. Surrounding the central Oneida village were other satellite villag es of Mohicans, Mohawks,

Nanticokes, Tuscaroras, Susquehannock and Del awares along with other smaller refugee hubs for white and black people.

It was technologically constructed for trade and food production — sur rounded by agricultural fields, orchards and gardens as far as the eye could see with at least one fishing weir in one

Scranton to Onaquaga and was a central village for indigenous people to con duct business in for over a century sending trade not only to the north but also east to west into territory occupied by other nations not affiliated with the Iroquois Confederacy.

In the 1730s, Sir William Johnson set up a trading post there. And

ish during the American Revolution.

Historical records show that Indigenous refugees who were fleeing en croachment and oppres sion by settlers often fled to Onaquaga and set up safe homes there. As did some escaped African slaves who also were flee ing north.

All of this boils down to something critical to note: Onaquaga was important. Very important. It was multi-national. It was a place of friendship and trade between people of different backgrounds and traditions. It was the final resting place for indigenous people of many different nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Delaware, Munsee, Tuscarora all have burial sites at Onaquaga.

they are recognized as distinct peoples. Not Onei das, not Tuscaroras — but separate in Haldimand’s files. Though Onaquaga may have been politically affiliated with the Oneidas, when loyalists came to settle at the Grand River they were not identified as Oneidas — or by their nation or clan identity — but identified by their matrilocal connection to the village of Onaquaga.

of the Tuscarora settle ments that allowed for the obstruction of passing fish to make them easier to harvest.

Missionary records show that in Onaquaga each home had a garden filled with corn, beans, watermelon, potatoes, cu cumbers, muskmelon, cab bage, turnips, apple trees, parsnips and more. Farms were kept with cows, pigs, chicken and horses.

It was located on an Old Warriors Trail from

through the 1740s to the 1770s it was a place where missionaries came to min ister and teach English. Several of the families there were Christians — including the family of Joseph Brant’s first wife, who was the daughter of one of the Chiefs of Onaquaga. They lived in a family longhouse in one of the Oneida villages there. Brant used Onaquaga and it’s neighbouring village Unadilla as the base for his operations with the Brit

But Onaquaga is noted as separate from the Six Nations Confederacy in histor ical records. Perhaps due to its multi-national identity. The Onaquagan’s are not a recognized peo ple under the HCCC and do not have a sitting chief or titles under their current roster. And unlike the Tus caroras, they are not back benched and represented by the Cayuga Chiefs according to the adoption of nation processes.

And yet — they were noted as a distinct settling group who set up a village here at Grand River.

Throughout history

In addition, Onaquaga’s losses were specifically ar ticulated in the Haldimand Pledge of 1779. They were the very definition of ‘such others’ in the Proclama tion. Politically important and counted among the Ir oquois allies to the British in the Revolution, officially affiliated with the Oneidas while they were living in Onaquaga — and yet not a part of the Six Nations proper after the village was destroyed during the Sullivan Campaign in 1779 — razed to the ground by Rebels by fire. The orchards, storehouses, homes — turned to ash.

And still in spite of their diversity, the Onaquaga were still important and connected enough to the loyalist war efforts among the Six Nations that they were granted the right to settle their families direct ly adjacent to the Mohawk Chapel and Council House.

The descendants of the Onaquaga are some the inheritants to the Haldi mand Proclamation — but who represents their interests today?

SN’s January Rogers joins Audible Indigenous Writers’ Circle as a mentor to emerging writers

JACE KOBLUN jace@tworowtimes.com TWO ROW TIMES

January Rogers has been selected to be one of several mentors in the 2022 Audible Indigenous Writers’ Circle.

The Audible Indigenous Writers’ Circle is a sixmonth mentorship and workshop program for emerging First Nations, Inuit and Métis writers in Canada looking to elevate their stories. The 2022 program launched this summer and our writer Jace caught up with Rogers last week to chat about her work, storytelling, and what motivated her to want to mentor new and emerg ing writers.

Rogers is a multiaward-winning Mohawk/ Tuscarora poet, media producer, performance and sound artist. She lives on her home territory of Six Nations of the Grand River where she operates Ojistoh Publishing and Productions. She has seven published poetry titles and is currently developing a comedy web series titled NDNs on the Airwaves.

Rogers is mentoring Emma Hassencahl-Perley, Bren McKay, and Raymond Sewell.

TRT: What excites you about helping someone learn more about who they are as a writer?

JR: I get excited about helping others on their path to becoming a writer because the writers who are a part of this circle are career-writers. This isn’t just for hobbyists or some one who writes poetry on a Sunday. I get excited because that’s the point in my career where I am at. Making a living through your creativity is so ful filling. Nothing really like it. I get excited because I know others are looking to embark on entering into the circle of making a living off their own intellect.

TRT: What are you favourite types of story telling; poetry, short story, fiction?

JR: It’s all storytelling to me and I think that’s what I like the most about it. We find storytelling in comedy, media arts, podcasts. I like the versatility of storytell ing itself. We’re coming

to the understanding that storytelling starts every thing else off in playwriting. In scriptwriting. There’s great storytelling in poetry. Prose. I like the fact that storytelling has become a huge umbrella where all of these other genres can live, thrive, and find a place.

TRT: How did you know you were going to be a producer/storyteller?

JR: I just started doing it. I thought, ‘I’m going to take the skills I have as a writer and manage my own career.’ I was able to do that very early on. I have a good balance of being able to co-ordinate and keep things organize, while also being creative. It takes two very different skillsets to produce and create.

TRT: In what ways does Six Nations and the places you call home influence the way you tell stories?

JR: Knowing that I have a whole community of people to answer to with my storytelling has almost been more exaggerated since I moved back home.

Being home has accelerated and expanded the ways in which I create literary work. But it also makes me promote the responsibility even more in my writing.

TRT: What do you expect from the people you mentor?

JR: I hope that I don’t see anything cliche. If I see

cliche writing I’m going to call them on it. I hope to see very honest and authentic writing. Hope to see per sonal writing. Doesn’t have to tell me all about them and their lives but work that comes from a place of lived experience from them. That translates really well. Don’t tell me someone

else’s story, tell me your story in only the way you can tell them.

TRT: What are some ways you critique your own work, that you also critique your mentees in?

JR: I promote lean writing. Being a poet, lean writing is taking out extraneous words, ideas, repetition, phrases, stay with it, keep writing and moving toward what you need to say. Putting your opinions on a page is risky. And risk is fun.

TRT: What are some ar eas in your own storytelling you could grow in?

JR: Well, I’m kind of expanding right now. I’ve written a play and I haven’t written a play in many years. I built my career on being a poet and spoken word poet and lately media or performance poetry. But now I’m working in play writing and I’m thrilled to realize I still have the skill.

TRT: What are some ways you’re a great men tor?

JR: Because after a

session with the mentees I feel invigorated. It’s like teaching a class. You should walk away from teaching a class feeling energized and inspired and that’s how I feel after a session.

TRT: What are some ways you’re a hard mentor?

JR: My need for them to be a bit more organized. I’m super organized so if I send off an email to them, I really expect a response within a day or two. And if I don’t get it, I’ll hound them.

TRT: What are some ways you encourage stu dents to dig deep, speak authentically and head to ward sensitive or personal topics?

JR: I think in part it’s about giving permission for them to do that. Enthusi asm goes a long way. It’s infectious. When I see someone writing from a real and personal space, I give stars on my edits. I tell them I love this. Or that it resonates. Art is about energy and its impact. I let them know that the honest stuff translates.

Six Nations operating in deficit halfway through the year

DONNA DURIC donna@tworowtimes.com TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations of the Grand River is operating at a roughly $1 million deficit by the second quarter of the fiscal year, the finance committee heard on Monday.

That’s well below its expected operating deficit of over $3 million, how ever, explained Jennifer Court, director of financial reporting and analysis.

Six Nations Health Services has the largest

operating budget around $17 million. The band budgeted $53.8 million for its operation.

This year’s operating deficits are coming from various departments, including Health Services, Public Works, Lands and Resources, Fire Services, Parks and Recreation, and computer services at Cen tral Administration, with a total operating deficit of $1,083,156.

Other departmental surpluses are made up for 2022 departmental deficits.

Health Services, Fire,

Public Works and Housing all had operating deficits last year, but central ad ministration had an $8.2 million surplus.

The trends are similar for this year’s operations halfway through the year, for the period ending Sept. 30, with many of the same departments operating in a deficit so far, with central administration already showing a $2 million surplus.

Six Nations closed out 2022 with an operating surplus of $1.7 million.

Residents protest Bill 23 at MPP Will Bouma’s office

Concerned

Despite challenging weather conditions, con cerned residents and com munity group members protested Bill 23 at MPP Will Bouma’s constituen cy office on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Protestors came to express their concerns with the provincial gov ernment’s seemingly risky proposals.

A November 17 press release says residents spoke out about the province’s proposal to

open up the Greenbelt for development. As well as troubling changes to the Planning Act that could put drinking water at risk, result in the unnecessary loss of wetlands, farmland and greenspace and sig nificantly weaken conser vation authorities.

Some of the protestors were from community grassroots groups in cluding Brant for Nature, Better Brant, Langford Conservancy, Brant Land Trust, Greenbelt West Co alition and the Brant Tree Coalition.

“We have significant concerns about the ongoing actions by the provincial government that pander to a handful of developers while acting completely against the public’s best interest,” said Joan Faux, one of the rally organizers. “The potential loss of precious farmland and wetlands, carving into the Greenbelt for develop ment and decimating the Grand River Conservation Authority and all Conser vation Authorities across the province, is needlessly

locals speak out against flawed bill

putting our children’s future at risk.”

According to the release, the rally is part of a collective effort of community groups across the province who share concerns about these recent provincial govern ment actions.

“Rather than focusing on creating more sought after mid- and high-den sity ‘missing middle’

housing within urban boundaries that [are] already designated for de velopment, Premier Doug Ford prefers to break his promise not to touch the Greenbelt, and pave over our precious farmland and wetlands leading to outdated, unsustainable expensive sprawl instead,” said Faux. “We need to protect our drinking water, our farmland and

natural habitat as much as possible. We need more walkable communities, more affordable and more variety of housing types, enhanced public transit.”

Faux added that all of this is being put at risk by the current changes proposed by the Ford government.

Pop-up rallies were also held at Conservative MPP Offices in Fergus and Elmira the same day, attended by dozens of people who voiced similar concerns and anger about the provincial plans and the dismal environmental record of the provincial government.

Municipalities across Ontario have been ex

pressing serious concerns about the provincial actions as well, with the Regions of York, Niaga ra and Waterloo, Prince Edward County and the cities of Waterloo, Colling wood, and Burlington each approving motions against Bill 23.

“The ecological systems that literally support our communities and our quality of life need to be protected,” said Mary-Lou Knechtel of the Brant Land Trust. “Residents of Brantford and Brant Coun ty are letting us know they are very upset by these plans and proposals that put ecological systems at risk, announced in a way that gives us very little time to react.”

Rally participants marched along Nelson Street and Clarence Street to the cheers and tooting horns of people supporting the many signs with messages such as, “Stop Bill 23,” “Pro tect Farmland,” “Protect Conservation Authorities,” and “Keep the Greenbelt Promise.”

More pop-up rallies and other initiatives are being planned to help ensure the people of Ontario are made aware of the serious issues and that our future is at stake.

Protesters demonstrated outside MPP Will Bouma's office in Brantford to show their frustration with development in the Greenbelt and removal of lands under protection within it.

Six Nations Housing receives $1.5 million

STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations Housing is going to build a five-unit townhome complex thanks to a recent $1.5 million funding windfall.

The money came from both the Six Nations Eco nomic Development Trust and Indigenous Services Canada.

The new units will be constructed on Harold Road, off Fourth Line Road, in Ohsweken.

The units will be con structed in partnership with Habitat for Humanity in Hamilton, and Habitat Heartland, with construc tion expected to begin this month and be completed in the summer of 2023.

The total cost of the development is $1,566,304.60, of which Six Nations Econom ic Development Trust contributed $1.06 million, with $500,000 of addition al funding coming from

Housing’s 2020/2021 Indigenous Services Canada Enhanced funding allocation.

The initial cost of the project significantly de creased due to Habitat’s involvement.

Six Nations of the Grand River said in a press release that the partnership has the potential to benefit the Six Nations community in future projects, as well.

“It pleases me greatly to see our community agencies working together for the betterment of Six Nations,” said Elected Chief Mark Hill. “The generosity of the Economic Devel opment Trust and the involvement of Habitat for Humanity strengthens our ability to provide safe, affordable housing so our people can continue to live in their home community. I want to say nia:wen to everyone involved in this effort and I look forward to the completion of this project next year and many more beyond it.”

Docuseries looks at the war story of Tom Longboat

STAFF REPORT editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — A new docuseries on the History Channel takes a deep look at the military service of Six Nations veteran Tom Longboat — the historic Onondaga runner who won the Boston Marathon.

Though Longboat was a sports celebrity in his day, less is known to the public about his military service during WWI.

Developed and pro duced by Lark Produc tions, Our War takes viewers on a real-life genealogical investi gation that reveals the past through a younger generation. In the episode featuring Tom Longboat Longboat — the show fol lows his great grandson, Jagger Miller, on a journey to discover more about the military service of his great grandfather.

The Six Nations Elected Council heard an update from the production company in December 2021 of their plans to

film the docuseries on the territory at the Woodland Cultural Centre. At the SNGR request a communi ty showing was scheduled and was held at the Gath ering Place on the Grand on November 6.

Longboat made history as the first Indigenous person to win the Boston

Marathon in 1907, setting a new record for the course. He won various other races and competed in the Olympics before he headed off to war.

Longboat was a dis patch runner in the war, running messages back and forth between units.

The docuseries "OUR

WAR” features Longboat’s story in episode 2 and was directed by Michael Bour quin, an award winning filmmaker from the Iskut First Nation, and is now available for streaming on StackTV.

Children’s pain-killer shortage hits Six Nations

are options for parents looking for the medication over the counter for their children.

OHSWEKEN — The nation-wide shortage of children’s acetamino phen and cough and cold products has also hit the people of Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Mankay Lee, pharma cist at Ohsweken Pharma save, says while there is a limited supply locally on Six Nations of the Grand River being held back for prescription use, there

Lee says there are certain compounding pharmacies in the area that can make a children’s liquid acetaminophen suspension for parents — like Medicine Shoppe in Caledonia.

For parents of older children who maybe able to swallow a pill, you can also administer regular strength Tylenol — but be sure only to do so under the guidance of a pharma cist who will calculate the

correct dosage range for you.

Doing that is simple — you can call any pharmacy, give the weight and age of your child and ask what the proper dosage is and they will give proper instructions. Younger children can take the dose crushed up and mixed into some applesauce or dilut ed in apple juice or water.

Lee says parents need to consult with a pharma cist and be sure they are using the correct type of medication and not pills that are extra strength or a cold and flu combination

pill. He says that Tylenol brands like Cold and Sinus or even Rapid Release pills are different and that when using regular strength Tylenol in a pinch parents have to be really specific about the kind and dosage given.

For now, Health Canada has approved an emergen cy importation of for eign labelled Tylenol for children that is expected to hit store shelves soon, hopefully ending a six month shortage across all of Canada and the United States.

RSV spreading across the province: how to treat kids at home

STAFF REPORT editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Amid an unprecedented surge in viral illnesses in children across the province, forcing some children’s hospitals to postpone some surgeries and treatments, Ontario’s Health Minister Sylvia Jones made an attempt to reassure parents last week that their children would receive timely health care.

For babies its important to help clear out the nose of congestion so they can drink and swallow prop erly. Using a baby saline spray for the nose along with a snot sucking device like the Nosefrida will help as well to clear the airways of mucous that could otherwise choke a child. This will also reduce the amount of congestion travelling down into the throat and into the chest.

Normally fevers can be treated safely at home with children’s acetamin ophen or ibuprofen. If you need some and none is available in your area you can contact a compound ing pharmacy in the area and the pharmacist can make some for you.

Respiratory syncytial virus, also called RSV, shows up with the same symptoms as the common cold — including a cough, runny nose, fever and a lost of appetite. In very young babies it can cause bronchiolitis, an infection that causes wheezing and difficulty breathing.

How long does it last?

An RSV infection usual ly takes about 10 days to run its course with days 4 and 5 being the toughest time.

When a child is having obvious signs of breathing difficulty, it’s time to go to the hospital. This can be seen when a child is working really hard to breathe and when they are breathing in, the skin between their ribs and in the dip of the centre of the neck pulls inward. Take your child to the emergen cy room is they are having trouble breathing or their lips look blue.

In any baby younger than three months, a fever should always go to the emergency room - or if they are unable to drink.

``This usually gets worse before it gets better. And that is a natural course of RSV. And after that peak children usually do then turn the corner and start doing much better,'' says Dr. Melissa Langevin, an emergency medicine pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa.

How can you treat RSV at home?

According to the Cana dian Paediatric Society, any child older than 6 months needs to see a doctor if they have had a fever for more than 72 hours, a loss of appetite or vomitting or coughing to the point of choking or throwing up.

TWO ROW TIMES

A Tim Hortons campaign showcasing diverse hockey trailblazers will feature the first First Nations woman to play on Canada’s Women’s Olym pic team, hockey player Brigette Lacquette.

Lacquette, Anishnaabe, who is now a scout for the Chicago Blackhawks, will be shown as a part of the coffee chain's "Let's Up Our Game" campaign, which is aimed at amplify ing stories of diversity in hockey

The campaign is set to focus on the barriers and prejudice overcome by seven diverse hockey trail blazers across the country. Other players featured in the campaign include women's team stars Marie-Philip Poulin and Sarah Nurse, and men's para ice hockey captain Tyler McGregor.

Lacquette's hometown is Mallard, Man., and she said the nearest hockey association was a 50-min ute drive away. She moved away from her community and family to pursue her

hockey career initially to play for the Universi ty of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs from 2011 until 2015, and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 2016. She became the first to play at the olympic level just two years later.

It was noted that a commercial featuring Lac quette will be made avail able this week on the Tim Hortons YouTube page, with other athlete videos including Sarah Nurse, Tyler McGregor and Mark Dements already featured.

In 1964, the first Tim Hortons restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario opened its doors and Canadians have been ordering Tim Hortons iconic Original Blend coffee, Double-Dou ble™ coffees, Donuts and ‘Timbits’ in the years since. Over the last 55 years, Tim Hortons has captured the hearts and taste buds of Canadians and has become syn onymous with serving Canada's favourite coffee.

Tim Hortons is Canada's largest restaurant chain operating in the quick ser vice industry with nearly 4,000 restaurants across the country.

The piece titled “Written in Stone, The History of Lacrosse,” openly covers ancestral views on lacrosse that garnered backlash for her playing the sport, but the appreciation she holds for her ‘vastly open-minded’ family. “At this level, I think it’s important for anyone associated with this game to know the impact my people had on it. The sport wouldn’t exist without us,” she wrote. “As a Native woman, our history is often told from a point of view that is not our own. Now that I have this platform playing college lacrosse in the ACC at Virginia Tech, I greatly look forward to continuing to educate people about the deep-rooted history of lacrosse and the truth about my Native American ancestry that means so much to me.” Lazore was also one attacker that played with the Haudenos aunee Nationals this year, pictured as number 19 above. Her piece has since been published online with USA Lacrosse Magazine. FILE

You have an energy to release this week, Aries. But you are not sure if the world is ready for you. Don’t expect the same reaction from everyone when you interact.

Something in your life that seems ordinary on the surface can turn into something that is rather special. Taurus. Keep your eyes peeled for every possibility.

Sometimes the less traveled path can take you to some pretty special places, Cancer. Don’t be so quick to rule out opportunities that are right in front of you.
