Fire destroys Slack Road church four days before Christmas By Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com
A large fire destroyed the main building of a church on Slack Road the afternoon of Dec. 21. At 3:48 p.m., Ottawa Fire received calls reporting black smoke coming from the windows of the Living Waters Christian Assembly Church at 105 Slack Rd. between Merivale Road and Woodroffe Avenue. Additional calls came in reporting flames being visible through the roof and commuters in the area could see the smoke from a great distance. See TWO, page 2

(Above) All that’s remains of the main church building the morning of Dec. 22.
Two adjacent structures spared; main building total loss Continued from page 1
Fire crews arrived on scene shortly after the first call. The church was fully involved and two adjacent buildings — a home and a storage shed — at risk of fire. The intense heat of the fire, stoked by the large timber beams and cedar construction, had compromised the structure of the building so fire crews began a defensive attack to make sure the adjacent structures did not go up in flames. Thanks to the work from the fire depart-
ment the two other structures were spared. Structural collapse happened at 4:42 p.m., with firefighters remaining on scene until the fire was extinguished. The fire department says heavy equipment will be brought in to demolish the remainder of the structure for security reasons. The church was empty at the time and there are no reported injuries. OC Transpo assisted in the operation by offering shelter to crews and congregation members. “We would like to take this opportunity to
thank our partners at OC Transpo for assisting with a bus to shelter members of the congregation and our crews in the cold weather,” said Danielle Cardinal from Ottawa Fire in a statement. “We would also like to thank the Salvation Army Emergency and Disaster Team Canteen who help fuel our firefighters for the physically demanding work they do. We extend our condolences to the congregation at Living Waters Christian Assembly for this tremendous loss.” A fire investigator is looking into a possible cause to the fire.

Ottawa bylaw branch eyes staffing boost, more efficiencies By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Faced with an increase in requests for service, Ottawa’s bylaw branch may ask to boost its ranks and also consider making tweaks to create efficiencies in the coming year. Consulting firm KPMG has submitted a report with 11 recommendations following a service review of the city’s bylaw and regulatory services branch. “We’re just doing some analysis on that and we’ll be doing a staff report to committee in June of next year (2018),” said branch director Roger Chapman. Though an increase in 5,000 calls in 2017 is manageable, double that wouldn’t be doable with the 100 officers that are on duty during weekdays and the 25 that work the weekends, Chapman said. The results of the review, which has not yet been made public, may prompt a request for more manpower at the branch, which has had the same staffing levels for a number of years: 75 work in parking control and another 54 work on other issues, ranging from animals and noise to parking and property standards, among others.
Other changes could also be in the works. “There may be other efficiencies that may offset (service demands). Reallocating some of our resources too to be more proactive,” said Chapman, who has been a bylaw officer — first with the former city of Nepean and then with Ottawa — for 27 years. “More proactive work means less reactive. Usually when you do more reactive work, you get a lot more positive response from landlords and pet owners,” he said. “We’re changing our enforcement approach here.” Though the final numbers have yet to be crunched, the number of calls for service to the department in 2017 will likely have reached the 80,000 mark, up about 5,000 over 2016, which saw almost 75,000 calls. “We’ve had an increase in calls due to the 2017 events,” Chapman said, referring to the long roster of celebrations in the nation’s capital that marked Canada’s 150th milestone. About 90 per cent of Canada 150-related calls were about parking and noise, as well as food vendor licensing. The boon can also be attributed to a later than usual snowfall in the

spring, which kept bylaw officers busy responding to on-street parking infractions, particularly downtown, as well as complaints about snow being deposited on roadways. “Every time there’s a significant snowfall, we’re out making sure all the snow contractors are licensed and doing things appropriately,” Chapman added. Parking (especially on-street and those vehicles parked in school zones), noise and animal control complaints were the top three call types reported in 2017, continuing a decade-long trend. The branch typically fields more than 30,000 parking complaints every year. Early morning noise at construction sites and loud music — often at house parties or music venues — also topped the complaint list in 2017. “Over the last three to five years, it’s been a big issue for us — the early construction noise,” Chapman said. Proactively ensuring companies are informed about the city’s noise bylaw before shovels go in the ground is a proactive measure that was adopted about six months ago. See INAUGURAL, page 4

Inaugural public information officer to increase public awareness Continued from page 3
“Now, when the permits go out, there’s some information on the construction noise provisions,” said Chapman. “We’ll do some analysis next year (in 2018) to see if that’s helpful or not.” A number of the city’s bylaws have recently undergone reviews — vehicles for hire, pet shops and noise — with more to come in 2018. Resulting changes and updates
have helped enforcement efforts, and technology has also played a significant supporting role, with the addition of laptops and printers to staff vehicles, saving time and money. It was the first branch in the city to begin undergoing that transformation almost a decade ago, and it became fully mobile with a full complement of tech in the last five years. “No more radioing back and forth,” Chapman said. “It’s a lot more
efficient for the officers.” Public awareness is key to prevention. While annual fines over the past three years have typically netted the city about $19 million — and are projected to exceed $20 million for 2017 — the goal is to reduce the number of infractions, ensuring people understand the rationale behind the rules and regulations ahead of time. “Parking regulations are in place for the flow of traffic, for the turnover
Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (EA) Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area The City of Ottawa has granted approval of the Community Design Plan (CDP) for the Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area subject to conditions of the Planning Act. The map illustrates the CDP Study Area. The City of Ottawa and the Project Team have planned to ensure infrastructure capacity is available for the proposed development in the expansion area. This process has been conducted in accordance with Section A.2.9 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to integrate approvals under the Environmental Assessment Act and the Planning Act. As such, approval of the Community Design Plan and associated OPA were supported by the following Master Plans which document the preferred municipal infrastructure projects: • Master Servicing Study (MSS) • Transportation Master Plan (TMP) The TMP and CDP were made available for public review in July 2017 and no objections were received. Additional technical input into the MSS was required and is now being made available for review. The MSS identified the following preferred projects: • •

of parking spaces for businesses in the downtown core, safety of the public, bus lanes, bike lanes,” said Chapman. “Yes, there’s some revenue that comes from it, but that’s not really what it’s about.” Education plays an important role. “Ninety-five per cent of the work we do is complaint-driven. We do very little proactive (management). We just don’t have the resources to do it,” said Chapman. That is where Alison Sandor comes in. She became the branch’s inaugural public information officer on Dec. 4. The former radio broadcast journalist who most recently worked as a councillor’s assistant will be tasked with community outreach and raising public awareness via social media channels, such as Twitter and the branch’s new Facebook page. “There’s a lot of good stories out there and bylaw officers do a lot of really great things,” said Sandor. “If we just have someone who could do a little more tweeting, do a little bit more public engagement, I think it’ll help out the public a lot and maybe it’ll decrease that call volume we’re seeing.” A new dedicated bylaw website will also launch by April 1, complete with a page where tenants can learn their rights, a direct result of feedback received from city councillors. Online reporting of bylaw-related issues is not quite here yet, though noise complaints, among others, can be filed online through Service Ottawa. “I have no doubt we’re going to go down that road eventually,” Chapman said of the online tool.

But Chapman suspects that its enhanced visibility and subsequent media coverage, will knock it from the top of the list. • The ward that sees the least amount of calls for bylaw services is West Carleton-March; those calls that do come in are related to dog bites, dogs running at large, care and use of roads, snow dumping and some parking complaints. • Of the $19 million generated each year through licensing and ticketing, about $7 million goes to city coffers while the remainder covers the bylaw branch’s annual operating budget.

To say Ottawa fire had a busy year would be a bit of a disservice. With around 3,000 motor vehicle collisions, 250 working fires and 120 water rescues, firefighters across the city were kept on their toes throughout the year. I had the opportunity to sit down with Danielle Cardinal, who is the public information officer for Ottawa fire services. Cardinal provided a comprehensive list of the most prolific fire-related events for the year broken down by month. According to Cardinal, the most damaging fire of the year occurred at multi-residential property on Northview Road. 32 units were damaged in the blaze and 70 people were displaced. Another devastating fire occurred at the Black Rapids Farm in Nepean. The barn on the Ruiter property was destroyed and around 80 cows were lost in the blaze. Recently, though, Ruiter has announced that he will be rebuilding his farm after the overwhelming support he received from the community. Several campaigns were held by the fire service throughout the year including Wake Up! The eight-day campaign was held twice this year and saw firefighters make their way to homes across the city to inspect smoke detectors in homes. According to the city of Ottawa, homeowners who need new or additional alarms are given information on how to acquire one. Meanwhile homeowners who do not have any working smoke alarms may have one immediately installed for them, or be provided with new batteries. Oct. 9 — 14 is fire prevention week and this year’s campaign was dubbed “Every Second Counts: Plan

All Ottawa schools need defibrillators - NOW!
I
n the year after Damien Martin’s son, Griffin, died from cardiac arrest at his Orléans school, the father has been leading the charge to have elementary and high schools across Ottawa equipped with devices that can deliver life-saving shocks that can restart a heart. The grieving family may never know if an AED, or automatic external defibrillator, would have made a difference. Orléans Wood Elementary School didn’t have one at the time. Progress has been made, and a fundraising campaign is underway to speed up that process. The worry is that change is not happening fast enough. Many children have complex medical conditions. In Griffin’s case, he did not have any known underlying medical issues. There are also education, administration and other support staff at schools to consider. Schools also regularly serve as community hubs for after-hours programming, including sporting events, voting during elections, community and municipal meetings, Girl Guide and Scout gatherings, craft fairs, fundraisers, church services and workshops. It’s no wonder that Martin is calling for laws in Ontario and across Canada to require AEDs in schools. Fire extinguishers are required. Why not life-saving defibrillators? Linda Wyman, president of the Greely and District branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, celebrated on Feb. 14, 2017 when her rural south Ottawa branch received its first defibrillator after a four-year campaign. At that time, eight of the 14 Legion branches in
Ottawa did not have the portable devices, including in Orléans, Heron Park, Centretown, Westboro, Barrhaven, north Kanata and Constance Bay. In the case of the Greely branch, the closest AED was at the Greely Community Centre more than a kilometre away. The City of Ottawa not only equipped the remaining Legion facilities with the $1,600 machines, but also provided free CPR and AED training for Legion and community members. AEDs can buy paramedics precious time, especially in rural locations. If an AED shock can be delivered within the first four to six minutes after cardiac arrest, survival rates skyrocket, according to Anthony Di Monte, general manager of the city’s emergency and protective services department and former chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Service. Ottawa had gone from falling behind in cardiac-arrest survival rates to becoming one of the top five in North America thanks to a program launched in 2001 that saw the eventual installation of more than 1,000 defibrillators in public spaces and more than 40,000 residents, plus city staff, trained in CPR and the use of AEDs. And in the event of cardiac arrest, 911 communications staff can tell a caller where an AED is in a building and guide them in applying a defibrillator and CPR. There is no question that program has given people a fighting chance, even saved their lives. Let’s give that same chance to our children, their educators and other residents who use our city’s schools. Time is of the essence.
Building backyard skating rink mostly brings joy
F
or the third straight year I’m attempting to build a rink in my backyard. The weather is perfect. It should be done by now, except I’m not as committed as I once was. The kids have an expectation the rink will go from sloping lot to level skate surface in no time. When they see the actual tedious process, however, they become solid armchair critics. “Mom,” they call out between rounds of Forza on the Xbox on Boxing Day. “The rink is too bumpy. It’s never going to work!” Thanks, kids. My eyelashes are frozen to my lids and I just ripped a piece of skin off my hand when I touched a once damp, now-frozen doorknob. But I appreciate the help and advice. Building a rink triggers every emo-

Other times, I go to grab it with my leather gloves, not realizing they’re already at that frozen-open state and I can’t get a grip, so I spray water in my face. And because one can never “catch” a hose in a timely fashion, I’ve frequently soaked myself from head-to-foot and then flash frozen before I even have time to say the word hose. Although it sounds crazy, rink building mostly brings me joy. Yes, it’s hard work. Yes, I have to face the elements.

Students show off their Christmas gifts on first day back to school
I
t was pretty easy to tell what everyone at the Northcote school got for Christmas, on that first day back after the holidays. There sat most of the boys in brand new plaid flannelette shirts ... so recently bought you could even smell their newness when the boys passed your desk. Red plaid seemed to be the favourite colour that year, and it didn’t bother any of them that they came to school that first day, all wearing identical shirts. Every boy, it seemed too, had received a new pair of felt inner soles for their overshoes and gum-rubbers. There they were, taken out of their footwear, and propped against the log by the stove to dry out, even if they weren’t wet. The boys were pretty proud of their new dark grey felt inner soles! It was no surprise to find that several of us had new toy watches. That meant that in our stockings, or even as one of our main gifts, we got a box of Cracker Jacks from Santa, and found inside little watches, with red elastic bands, and of course, they didn’t work, but nonetheless, we were delighted to wear them to school. The fact that within a few days, they would

turn our wrists green didn’t bother us in the least! That year I was proud beyond words to take to the Northcote school, a brand new tin pencil box. Like so many of the other pupils, up to then, I carried my pencils, my small six-inch ruler, and an art gum, in a handmade drawstring bag, made out of the very same navy blue and white ticking mother used to make covers for our feather pillows and mattresses. How I longed for a pencil box like the one my friend Joyce had. It

was made of wood, with a painted lid that you slid off with your thumb nail, and which was made in two layers, the top one which you could pivot to reveal another complete space for more pencils. I had hoped to get one just like it, but the little tin pencil box was certainly a step up from the drawstring bag! Bright red, it was. With a picture of two little kittens painted on the lid! I wasn’t the only one to get a new tin pencil box, but certainly no one got a wood one like my friend Joyce’s. She remained the
only one at the Northcote school with such a treasure! And of course, there was bad Marguirite with new white stockings. She made sure everyone knew she didn’t get one pair, she got two pairs! The rest of us girls wore hateful salmon coloured stockings held up with tight elastic bands. When we took them off at night, they left deep rings in our legs above our knees, which itched like crazy. Old Doctor Murphy preached to mother that we would pay dearly in later life from the tight elastic ... he said something about veins, which I didn’t understand, and which Mother could do little about, since buying expensive vests with long elastics and hooks were out of the question. Marguirite made sure we knew she wouldn’t be caught dead in elastic bands to hold up her stockings! There were a couple new book bags. But they were carried by those in the upper grades like junior and senior fourth. We younger ones had to content ourselves with those handed down from an older sibling. Even though I had put a new book bag on my Christmas list to Santa, I didn’t get one, and I figured he couldn’t find enough to go around to all the kids the world over.
I looked around the room to see if anything had been changed since our last day before Christmas. I saw where the floor had been scrubbed, and the whole room cleaned. And there along the baseboards, where once there were two or three holes where the mice would wander freely in and out, someone had nailed little squares of tin to shut off the mouse escapes. Other than that, the school seemed to be exactly the same as it was when we left it. Of course, the Christmas tree was gone, and the chicken wire that went across the front of the room to hold the sheets that created a stage area for the Christmas concert had been taken down. The Northcote school was back to normal, and ready for business for another year. To each of you, my prayer is that 2018 will be a safe and healthy year for you and those close to your heart. Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

What mattered to Ottawa paramedics in 2017 By Alexandra Mazur amazur@metroland.com
With 2017 at an end and a new year beginning, Ottawa South caught up with paramedic spokesperson MarcAntoine Deschamps, who brought us up to date on key factors that affected Ottawa paramedics in the last year, and certain things to look forward to in the coming year. Growth
According to Deschamps, the most defining factor for the paramedics in 2017 was the city’s growth. There is the weekly swells of workers that drive in to the city, the general population growth, and of course the waves of people coming to visit the capital during the Ottawa 2017 events like Canada Day, La Machine,
The NHL Winter Classic and The Grey Cup. Deschamps said the sheer number of events drawing larger crowds was a challenge for paramedics. Despite the pumped up number of staff hired in the last two years, 12 in 2016 and 24 in 2017, the bigger events took extra planning. “You basically put almost 100,000 people in one spot. It’s a city in itself,” said Deschamps. “You’ll get all the normal diabetic people, people with heart problems or respiratory problems,” said Deschamps, who added things like heat stroke and intoxication were also issues paramedics had to treat during the bigger events. In order to be able to reach people through crowds packed in tight spaces, staffing needed to be appropriate. Deschamps said
that in cases like La Machine or Canada Day, they dedicated an increased number of staff to the events, put paramedics on bikes and ATVs, stationed ambulances around the area, had people on foot patrol and embedded some paramedics with law enforcement. Despite the added pressure of dealing with big events, Deschamps said many of the paramedics were excited to be part of the year’s events. “A lot of the events are a part of history,’ said Deschamps. As for more new hires, the 2018 budget has approved 14 new paramedics and another ambulance added to the fleet. According to the Ottawa Paramedic 2016 annual report, paramedic service response volume has grown 14 per cent over the last five years, and three per cent be-
Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26.
NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO EXPROPRIATE LAND IN THE MATTER OF an application by the City of Ottawa for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedule “A” attached hereto for the purposes of the Kanata South Link Project including the widening of Hope Side Road, Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club Road from Eagleson Road to Highway 416 and including the construction and/or installation of an additional travel lane in each direction, multi-lane roundabouts, traffic signals, signalized trail crossings, improved lighting, paved shoulders, sidewalks, multi-use pathways, works to address drainage and water quality and minimize and mitigate impacts to the Greenbelt and all other works and improvements ancillary to the Kanata South Link Project including but not limited to utility relocations.
tween 2016 and 2015 “The population is growing and the population is aging,” said Deschamps, who believes these two factors justify the new paramedic hires in Ottawa. According to 2016 census data, Ottawa’s population has reached over 930,000, with 15.4 per cent of the population over 65. The city’s official plan expects the total population to grow 15 per cent over the next 15 years. Deschamps also noted that some of the areas outside the downtown core are growing rapidly, especially Kanata and Stittsville, which represented nearly a third of Ottawa’s overall growth in 2016. South Nepean and Orleans are the second and third most rapidly growing areas in the city. Nevertheless, the highest call volumes for ambulances come in out of Rideau-Vanier, with over 13,000 calls in 2016, Alta Vista coming second with just over 12,400 and then College with just over 11,400. It’s these numbers that spurred the closure of eight rural ambulance bases across the
city. As of Sep. 1, the Ottawa paramedics have deployed all of their ambulances from their downtown headquarters 2465 Don Reid Dr. The rural bases in Manotick, Richmond, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Navan, Cumberland, Riddell and Kinburn, are still in use, but paramedics no longer start and end their days there. “We don’t have data just yet available to share, it’s something fairly recent,” said Deschamps when asked if closing of the bases had affected paramedic’s ability to reach calls out in rural areas. 2017 data won’t come out for some time, so they have to work with numbers from 2016. Deschamps said the benefit of starting at the Don Reid Drive headquarters is every ambulance gets to be re-serviced and replenished after each shift. “Our equipment technician will check them, a bit like a pit crew with Nascar, and they do one truck in about 20 minutes,” said Deschamps. As for where ambulances are stationed, Deschamps said since

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that application has been made for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedule “A” attached hereto. Any owner of lands in respect of which notice is given who desires an inquiry into whether the taking of such land is fair, sound and reasonably necessary in the achievement of the objectives of the expropriating authority shall so notify the approving authority in writing,

CITY OF OTTAWA Gordon E. MacNair Director, Corporate Real Estate Office Schedule “A” Those lands in the City of Ottawa described as follows:
Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live
A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.
(a) in the case of a registered owner, served personally or by registered mail within thirty (30) days after the registered owner is served with the notice, or, when the registered owner is served by publication, within thirty (30) days after the first publication of the notice;
The expropriating authority is: City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Ave. W., Ottawa ON K1P 1J1
See HYDRAULIC, page 17
Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you.
The drawings referred to in Schedule “A” forming part of this Notice are available for viewing during regular business hours at the City’s Client Service Centre, 1st Floor, City Hall, City of Ottawa, 110 Laurier Avenue West.
The approving authority is: The Council of the City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Ave. W., Ottawa ON K1P 1J1
start times are staggered, the less ambulances there are on the road, the more likely one will be stationed downtown, where the most calls come in. As the day goes on and more paramedics are on duty, the coverage area expands. Deschamps didn’t answer whether or not this might put more pressure on paramedics just outside of city border, although he did admit that Ontario ambulances have often answered calls in Ottawa’s more rural wards. Paramedics use what is called a seamless system, which means the closest ambulance to a call must respon, no matter if it’s an Ontario ambulance or a city ambulance. Over the last several years, there have been reports that rural ambulances outside of the city limits have often had to answer many of calls meant for Ottawa ambulances. “We’re often going to go help out Renfrew, and then Renfrew obviously comes to help us out quite a lot,” said Deschamps.
For more information on Findlay and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and the next one is coming up on Jan. 14 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost is $50 for the first pet and $25 for each additional pet — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or email microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

Happy New Year: I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I look forward to working with you in 2018.

Perrine Corman (left) stands with Marc-Antoine Deschamps (right) in front of one of the two ambulances equipped with the new hydraulic stretcher. The stretcher can lift up to 500 pounds with minimal effort from paramedics, which will aleviate back injuries that Deschamps said are common among Ottawa paramedics.

Opioid Crisis
Although the Ottawa paramedics have been heavily involved in the opioid crisis, it’s not the only type of overdose they see. “Opioids are a small part, alcohol is still the number one overdose,” said Deschamps, but in terms of the number of people who die from overdoses, he said opioid overdoses are over-represented. “People have been overdosing on Opioids for ages, it’s just now got a bit more public attention, locally, provincially, nationally and internationally,” said Deschamps. Fentanyl and the much stronger opioid, carfentanil, what Deschamps calls an elephant tranquilizer, are mostly dangerous because they come from dubious manufacturers, who might mix it with another dangerous substace, and are taken in doses much higher than something a doctor would prescribe. Add to that opioid’s addictive qualities, it can be a lethal combination. Because of the danger, Deschamps said every ambulance is equipped with Naloxone, a drug that blocks the effects of opioids, which is often given to people who are overdosing. Ottawa Paramedics have also been involved in training Ottawa firefighters on how to use Naloxone, and they have been working in tandem with Ottawa Public Health on several measures of emergency management of overdoses, a campaign to encourage people not to do opioids alone, and encouraging people to have Naloxone kits at the ready. According to the Ottawa Public Health website free Naloxone kits are available across the city. “When people use drugs alone, and there’s nobody there to give them Naloxone, by the time we find them it’s too late,” said Deschamps.
Naloxone is also a bit tricky to use, according to Deschamps. “The problem with Naloxone is when it works,” said the Ottawa paramedic spokesperson. Because the drug works to instantly reverse the effect of opioids, Deschamps said often people will feel fine and either become aggressive or try to leave. “They can go from unconscious, not breathing, maybe cardiac arrest, from somebody doing CPR on them, to up and talking to a normal conversation.” Once the Naloxone wears off after 30 minutes to an hour, if the person has left, there’s a high chance they’ll overdose again on the same hit. Changes for paramedic health Deschamps highlighted a couple of changes he said would significantly help the health of paramedics on the job. One was a hydraulic-powered stretcher that can lift up to 500 pounds into the ambulance. “Right now we have a lot of back injuries because of lifting the stretchers up and down,” said Deschamps. With this new hydraulic stretcher it only takes two fingers to lift the stretchers into an ambulance. Michael Brenner, a 34-year-old paramedic who was training with one of the two new stretchers Ottawa paramedics have acquired this year, said it would make a huge difference. Last year, he had a herniated disk which assumed was from the job. “It’s great. Because we’re not lifting hundreds of pounds up and down, bringing in and out the stretcher all day. Especially for shorter people like me, it’s all automatic,” said Brenner. Deschamps said the two power-load systems they have will roll out in January, and soon every ambulance will be equipped with one. Since they can only send one or two trucks at a time, it will take a year for the whole fleet to be equipped. Des-
champs said he didn’t have an exact price for the new stretchers, but the company that makes them Stryker, lists them online from $29,000-32,000 U.S. As for the paramedics mental health, Deschamps said that they are working on hiring 40 new peer support workers who will assist paramedics on every level covering dispatch, logistics, paramedics and office staff. Deschamps said they just trained six people on a program called road to mental readiness, a program initially created by the Department of National Defence to teach resilience and stress management in a stressful work environment. Deschamps said the job comes with different types of stressors, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, a slow grind with waiting times and compassion fatigue. “That’s why the peer support team is there, to try to help people come through these tough times try to give them the resources to try to take care of themselves,” said Deschamps. If all else fails, there’s always Max, the Ottawa paramedic therapy dog, one of the very first therapy dogs in Canada to work with paramedics. “You go pet the dog, it brings people together and it changes the mood. It helps you smile and think of something else,” said Deschamps, who admitted he’s used the therapy dog service a few times. Deschamps said the program is working so well that they recently had a paramedic fly in from Australia to spend time with Max and, because they hoped to institute a program like it back home. Deschamps said that there might be the opportunity for more dogs, but first they’re working on getting some hard data on how the animal therapy works at the Ottawa station, and how it will work in Australia as well.
