Community key to food access centre success BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Volunteers and the community keep the West Carleton Food Access Centre rolling along and the board wants to thank ‘em all for their contributions. The access centre held its annual general meeting on Wednesday, May 24 and about 30 people attended the annual wrap up of the charitable organization that provides food for needy West Carleton residents. Chair Mary Braun and Vice Chair Sharon Roper sat down with the West Carleton Review at their storage facility and office Brian Dryden/Metroland at the West Carleton Community Complex located on the Carp Road.

as their telephone bill. The food access centre spends about $3,000 a month on food. The city provides the centre with $4,500 a year, but all the work is done by, currently, 36 volunteers including the board and you can find both Braun and Roper at the centre or donating their time in the community several times a week. The centre is currently serving about 50 families a month in the West Carleton community, by appointment only. The centre has a donation booth at the Carp Farmer’s Market, and Braun says most of the donations to the centre come from various fundraisers held by schools and businesses. See FOOD on Page 3

Food centre board thankful for help

Rick Keindel

‘Our Community – My Priority’ Vote Rick Keindel for Kanata-Carleton

Continued from page 1

As the West Carleton community continues to recover from the historic flood that affected more than 600 homes in the area, the topic was discussed at the AGM, but the conversation was bit surprising. “We only served six families impacted by the flood so far,” Braun said, adding she expects that number may change as families begin to recover following the clean up. “I took some supplies down to Constance Bay in response to a request I saw on Facebook,” Roper said. The centre was also able to provide six shop vacuums that had been recently donated by General Dynamics. In other AGM news, the centre decided to cancel its involvement in the Good Food Box program. The program invited families to spend $10, $15 or $20 on boxes of healthy food. The board decided it wasn’t a wise use of resources. “For the same amount of money, we’re able to supply

This community is great.” “Without the support of all the residents in West Carleton, we wouldn’t be here,”

Roper added. “We wouldn’t be able to manage.” Along with their regular operations, the food access centre is involved in an Angel Tree program giving out Christmas presents to approximately 74 children and donating 90 Christmas baskets to deserving families. The centre is involved in the program Neighbourhood Tomato. For the last four years they have a few community

garden plots where the end result is the centre receives the fresh, local produce harvested from the garden to re-distribute to the community. When asked if there was anything the board would like to add to the story, Roper asked that people check the expiry dates on their donations and added “just make sure you thank everyone in West Carleton for their generosity.”

Fly in for breakfast in Carp Be a true jet-setter this weekend and fly in for breakfast at the Carp Airport. The Experimental Aircraft Association Carp Airport chapter is hosting its annual Fly-In/ Drive-In breakfast this Sunday, June 11. The event is also an open house for pilots and the

public alike. It’s a great opportunity to tour one of the busiest little airports around. Drop by, grab some breakfast and tour some pretty neat airplanes. Last year hundreds took the opportunity for a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, homemade beans, toast, juice

and coffee and got an up-close look at both large and small airplanes. Some Young Eagle flights may be available for children between the ages of eight and 17. The open house runs from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. The cost is $8 for adults and $5 for children under 12.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A trillium by any other name

hanging parties in politics usually does not work out too well. There are a few exceptions, such as former Liberal MP and NDP provincial premier Bob Rae, but normally switching parties as an elected politician is a prescription for defeat and political oblivion in the ensuing election. So, it will be interesting to follow the happenings in the new Kanata-Carleton provincial riding in next year’s election and see if former Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren, now a member of the new Trillium Party, will be re-elected or not. His participation in the election for the Trillium Party should have an impact on the PC vote in the riding. Whether he will be re-elected, just split the Tory vote, or have minimal impact remains to be seen. The new Kanata-Carleton riding is more urban than the existing Carleton-Mississippi Mills and this may reduce conservative strength somewhat, with or without MacLaren’s ejection from the PC caucus and his switch to the ultra-conservative Trillium Party. The Liberals may seize this opportunity of discord among conservative forces to run a strong candidate who

might just sneak into office thanks to a vote split in the right-of-centre ranks. Some insight might be found from the name of MacLaren’s new party affiliation, the Trillium Party. Trilliums — specifically, white trilliums — have been the official flower for Ontario since 1937. If grown from seed, it takes a trillium up to two years just for the seed to germinate and then takes another five to seven years for the plant to bloom. In other words, it is a long process and very similar, we would suggest, to the future of the new party. If the Trillium Party were to “germinate” in two years and were to “bloom” in only five to seven years, we would rank that as an amazing political story. It is also known that if the leaves and flower of a trillium are picked, the plant will die as it will lack any means to produce the energy needed to survive the cold blasts of winter. If MacLaren fails to win for the Trillium Party in the upcoming election, the party may die just like a picked trillium, lacking the means to produce the energy needed to survive the blasts of the political weather in this province. MacLaren’s decision to switch parties is a story that promises an interesting ending come election season.

Canada’s birthday plans big on show, not substance

ast week I was leaving a Blue Jays game in Toronto. The home town had won and everyone was happy — except for the homeless men whom we encountered at intervals, sitting on the pavement with their empty paper cups in front of them, hoping for the best. It’s not a perfect metaphor, but something about the scene made me think of our upcoming 150th birthday celebrations. There is going to be a considerable amount of noise, a few royals around, cheery speeches — but not much of that energy is being harnessed to improve the lives of people who need help. This may be why I detect a distinct lack of enthusiasm about the whole thing. Politicians and officials are smiling away and making pronouncements about how great it’s going to be. But ordinary people are yawning,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town just wanting to get on with summer. And some of them, like me, wonder if that sesquicentennial money could be better spent. Locally, it will be nice to see the National Arts Centre unveil its new look and the new Canadian history hall at the Museum of History. But those probably would have happened without the sesquicentennial. Otherwise, Canada Day will probably feel like most other Canada Days, except in Toronto where the provincial government is spending $120,000 to bring a gigantic American rubber duckie to its waterfront.

projects, some even more worthwhile than gigantic rubber duckies, but my guess is that this is not, unlike 1967, going to be a year we will look back upon with nostalgia. Several things made 1967. For one, the federal government was not just going through the motions. Unlike today, it was not afraid to spend. So tons of government money was committed, all over the country, to things that mattered. It felt like every community in the country was getting a new concert hall, a new arena, a new library. For another thing, there was an optimism, an idealism in the country that was different from what we have now. Expo 67 made us proud and attracted world attention, which made us prouder. Despite the Cold War and the spectre of Vietnam, despite the growing signs of separatism at home, Canadians were confident

about the future, eager to make it better. It doesn’t seem that way now. Although the world was a perilous place in 1967, different kinds of peril face us now. Recent events, particularly to the south of us, have created an uncertainty that may make us less inclined to party. And less inclined to take on the big projects that would really make life better for Canadians — not to mention the less fortunate of the world, to whom we have been paying less and less attention. To go back to those unfortunate souls at the beginning of this column, few of our political parties campaign on getting rid of homelessness and poverty. They talk about making things less difficult for the middle class. That’s a far cry from idealism. To take another important topic, there have been some bold words

Connected to your community

It will be up to the voters to decide about MPP MacLaren Editor: Re: Goodbye Tories; Hello, Trillium (June 1, 2017 issue, West Carleton Review) There are a number of paths that bring people into mainstream political life. Sometimes, it's volunteer work, or it could be community organizations or a particular activist organization, but all lead some individuals to get further involved in order to advance their ideals. At the highest levels, once elected, these individuals may have a long life in politics with advancements, depending on a number of factors — most notably, if their particular political party is in power. Eventually, they are either defeated

or retire from public life. Jack MacLaren followed one of those paths. However, late in his career, he has defied convention and actually managed to not only go full circle but actually go a step farther, and then backwards. When his announcement came that he had joined the Trillium party, you might have been like many of us and sought information from Google, as this would have been the first time you heard the name. A number of people have probably heard of the Trillium Foundation run by the province, but Trillium Party not so much. MacLaren, of course, has every right to switch parties and run in the

However, it should be remembered now and when the election rolls around that MacLaren found himself in the position he is in through his own actions. His mentor Randy

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is conducting research in the vicinity of its hydroelectric generating stations on the Ottawa River. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk.

Its fresh leaves and dried seeds are the parts of the plant most traditionally

used in cooking. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C and K while the seeds provide dietary fibre, calcium, selenium, iron, magnesium and manganese. The plants were brought to North America by settlers in 1670 and were one of the first herbs cultivated by these early settlers. Cilantro or coriander is used in cuisines throughout the world today. Special events coming up in July include a bread and compound butter demo on Saturday, July 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be delicious breads to try, along with a variety of hand made compound butters.

Memorial service at Lowry Cemetery coming up BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The annual Lowry Cemetery memorial service is coming up on Sunday, June 25 at 2 p.m. At one time, this cemetery was adjacent to the Lowry Presbyterian Church, which was on the Fitzroy-Huntley township line (now Thomas A. Dolan Parkway). The Lowry Presbyterian

Church closed following church union in 1925, with the building dismantled in 1935 and the materials used to build a private home near Carp. The cemetery was then extended across the area where the church and its sheds had stood. A black steel fence and gateway was erected around the cemetery in 1976, as a result of a bequest and a donation. It was in 1837 that Rev. William Bell, a Pres-

byterian clergyman from Perth, travelled from Fitzroy Harbour to the home of Hamilton Lowry in the settlement of Marathon on the Fitzroy-Huntley township line. He preached and baptized children. In 1841, Rev. Alexander Mann assumed this Lowry charge, serving for several years. Hamilton Lowry donated land on the township line to build a Presbyterian Church. By 1845, donations and free labour from parishioners saw the church finished. Sheds for horses were added later. Land was also allocated for a cemetery. For the next 80 years, the early pioneer Presbyterian families in the area worshipped at the

Lowry church. An organ was installed in the late 1800s. The church continued to serve residents of the area until the church union, when the Lowry Presbyterian Church closed. Those planning to attend the annual Lowry Cemetery memorial service on Sunday, June 25 are urged to take along a lawn chair. Refreshments will be provided. The service will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kinburn if there is inclement weather.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Wild Parsnip Strategy The Wild Parsnip Program for 2017 has started, the goal of which is to reduce the growth of wild parsnip in areas that are highly infested while ensuring that environmentally sensitive areas and public safety are not adversely impacted. The strategy includes monitoring, mapping, herbicide use, mowing and evaluation. Approximately 800 kms of roadsides and over 60 locations of passive parkland will be treated this year. Roadside cutting is underway and additional herbicide application will be considered again for the fall season, if needed. The treatment area map and program details, including how opt out of the program, may be accessed on ottawa.ca/wildparsnip. Wild parsnip is an invasive plant that is common in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, nature trails, and on and surrounding rural and residential properties. It may pose a health risk to humans, as the sap contains chemicals that may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to burning and blistering when exposed to the sun Rural coach houses Rural coach houses may soon be found on smaller properties after the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC), on June 1, 2017, received recommendations to modify current requirements. These modified requirements will be incorporated in the Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Site Plan Control By-law, allowing small, detached dwellings on existing rural lots as small as 0.65 hectares â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even smaller, with minor variance applications. The report also recommends not requiring site plan control for lots smaller than 0.65 hectares, where a Committee of Adjustment approval would be required, and for lots with municipal water connections. Staff will now initiate the formal public process to bring the amended Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Site Plan By-law forward to ARAC and Council for consideration and approval. A coach house is a separate dwelling unit that is subsidiary to and located on the same lot as an associated principal dwelling unit, but is contained in its own building that may also contain uses accessory to the principal dwelling.

Speaker Syd Gravel referred to it as “PTSD and Trauma 101” and that’s just what his presentation was — a basic overview of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma. The retired police staff sergeant and Fitzroy Harbour resident knows of what he speaks, not only because he has written books about managing trauma and peer support within the workplace, but also because he has lived the experience. In one situation, he shot a bank robber, a traumatic experience. And then he was involved in a second shooting incident where, after a car chase, he shot and killed one of those involved, thinking that he was going to harm his police partner. It turned out that the person killed was not armed, setting off years of trying to deal with what he termed “moral injury” as opposed to PTSD. PTSD treatment involves trying to eliminate the fear that remains from a traumatic experience. But with moral injury, fear is not the root of the problem, but internal ethical conflicts are. Moral injury arises from decision-making, not from fear. PTSD is about a trauma situation survived; moral injury is about the damage left by a decision made. In Gravel’s case, his decision to shoot what turned out to be an unarmed person caused him to become afraid to make decisions, even about what he would wear. He did not want to make a decision because the last decision that he made resulted in someone dying and so his wife would make a list of things for him to do

and tell him what to wear. This lasted for six years until suddenly the anger ceased as he realized that everyone else had moved on from that situation and he was the only one not letting go. See ‘ME TOO CLUBS,’ page 19

‘Me too clubs’ can help those with moral injuries Continued from page 18

Gravel did state that the best way to deal with moral injuries is to form a peer support group of those who had experienced similar situations. In his case, it was a group of police officers who had either been shot and had survived or who had shot others. In both cases, they had a lot in common about how they felt. Gravel referred to such peer support groups as “me too clubs”, where those involved can show empathy as a result of a related experience rather than just show sympathy. Trauma, in Gravel’s view, results from a disturbing or distressing event that triggers fear, horror or helplessness. He said that trauma is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation from which a person can recover. But the problem arises in the case of soldiers, police officers, firefighters, emergency workers and social workers who experience traumatic event after traumatic event. Eventually they reach a breaking point where they cannot handle it anymore and this may be, for instance, after 200 traumatic events or after 10 events, depending on the person. Gravel said that it is difficult to recognize someone struggling with trauma in the workplace as there is routine and order there. However, while workplace supervisors may not see it because of this, family members are the ones who are most likely to notice the symptoms of a person struggling with trauma. He explained it had been his wife who noticed that he was going to commit suicide and notified others in time to prevent it. It is this familiarity with the person aris-

ing from a family situation that can identify the problem. This does not happen with coworkers and supervisors in the workplace. Gravel noted that many families break up because of PTSD and trauma. He said that this is because there is a lack of understanding about the attention and care that people with PTSD or trauma require. He suggested that couples in such situations should plan date nights, family events, travel, even do the dishes together, just to spent time together. He himself has now been married for 40 years, with two children and three grandchildren. He and his wife Judy have become involved with power lifting, with Judy making it to the nationals. She is now training for the 2019 nationals that will be held in Ottawa. Gravel said that PTSD need not be a bar-

rier in a career. He himself was diagnosed with PTSD in 1987 when he was a constable. He thought that this might mean that he would be remaining a constable for his whole career but he became a sergeant after 18 years and then became a staff sergeant two years after that. He went on to develop an all-female police unit on a United Nations assignment in Africa for which he received the Order of Merit. “PTSD is not a career stopper,” he said, although he also admitted that there is still a stigma in the workplace to such mental health issues. He calls mental health issues operational stress injuries, which for him includes not only PTSD, but also depression and anxiety. He said that police forces across the country have come to the realization that they

have to do something to help with operational stress injuries, but right now they largely do not know what to do. In addition, such actions will require funding and this means budget allocations. Gravel describes himself as a trauma management and peer support consultant. He has written four books on these subjects including 56 Seconds, describing his traumatic shooting experience, How to Survive PTSD and Build Peer Support, which provides teaching points about these matters and Walk the Talk about fire-responder peer support. Gravel’s presentation at the West Carleton Client Service Centre on June 2 was sponsored by the Anglican Parish of Fitzroy Harbour, which has launched a free adult education series.

Statue from Fatima will be at St. Michael’s Church SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

St. Michael’s Church in Fitzroy Harbour is one of the churches taking part in the official celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima in Portugal 100 years ago. A statue of Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Virgin which was hand-carved in rosewood with crystal lifelike eyes in Fatima will be at St. Michael’s at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 13 as part of these Ottawa-area celebrations. This statue, which was blessed by Pope John Paul II in Fatima for travels within Canada, belongs to Jacinta Cillis-Asquith of Stittsville. This statue from Fatima is visiting five churches plus Notre Dame Cathedral over the coming months, always on the 13th of the month. The first vision of Our Lady at Fatima happened on May 13, 1917. This Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim

Virgin statue (St. Padre Pio’s Queen of Peace Pilgrim Virgin) belonged to the mother of Cillis-Asquith, who now owns the statue. When Jacinta’s mother passed away in August 2015, this special statue was left in her care. She is named Jacinta after the youngest visionary at Fatima. This past May, while at Fatima, Pope Francis canonized two of the child visionaries — Jacinta and Francisco Marto. It was Pope John Paul II who blessed this statue at Fatima on May 13, 1982 when he travelled to the shrine there in thanksgiving for recovering from being shot the previous year. On the day that he was in Fatima, there were over a million pilgrims also in the town. The statue was at Good Shepherd Church in Gloucester on Saturday, May 13, the start of these visits to local churches. That same day, the statue was also at Holy Spirit Catholic

Church in Stittsville where it also was on the following day, May 14. The first communion classes at Holy Spirit Parish had their photos taken in front of the statue that weekend. The statue will arrive at St. Michael’s on Tuesday, June 13 at 7 p.m. On Thursday, July 13, the statue will be at St. Clement’s Church on Old St. Patrick Street in Ottawa at 7 p.m., while on Sunday, Aug. 13, the statue will be at St. George’s Church on Piccadilly Avenue in Ottawa. On Wednesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m., the statue will be back at Holy Spirit Church in Stittsville. But the highlight of these church visits by this Pilgrim Virgin statue will happen on the weekend of Oct. 13-14. On the afternoon and evening of Friday, Oct. 13, there will be a procession of the statue from Immaculata High School on Main Street in Ottawa to Notre Dame Cathedral on Sussex Drive. At the ca-

thedral, there will be a solemn mass celebrating the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary officiated by his Grace, the Most Reverend Terrence Prendergast, followed by a reception downstairs in the cathedral. On the next day, Saturday, Oct. 14, there will be a mass at St. Maurice Church in Nepean, celebrated by the spiritual directors of the three high councils of the Legion of Mary — namely, the Toronto Senatus, the Ottawa Regia, and the Kingston Curia. This mass will be followed by a procession of the statue from St. Maurice Church to St. Gregory Catholic School, where there will be a luncheon banquet with guest speakers telling about Fatima’s key messages and their consequences for world peace. It should be noted that on July 1, which is Canada’s 150th birthday, all the Catholic Bishops in Canada will consecrate Canada to Our Lady.

St. Michael Catholic Church dates to 1861 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Fitzroy Harbour area saw its first Roman Catholic religious services held in the homes of parishioners. The number of Catholics grew more numerous from the 1820s through to the 1840s. Rev. Terrence Smith, a Catholic priest who looked after churches across a wide area from Richmond to Huntley to Pakenham to Lanark to Ramsay, would travel from Richmond on horseback to serve the Fitzroy Catholics. In the book Beyond our Memory … a history of Fitzroy Township, edited by Karen Lewis Runtz, it is pointed out that a whopping 83 candidates were presented for confirmation in Fitzroy in 1843. With such a growing Catholic population, the next obvious step was the construction of a church. Land was donated in 1845 by Andrew and Mary White (the site of the present-day St. Michael’s cemetery) and by 1849, construction of a church capable of accommodating 70 families was well underway. In 1852, the founding bishop of the new diocese of Bytown assigned a resident pastor to the Fitzroy Harbour church, namely Rev. Bernard McFeely. The religious quarrels of the time saw the church destroyed by arson in 1854 with the site being converted to use as a cemetery as plans were made to build a new stone church right in the heart of the village. The new church was completed in 1861, but when Father Bernard left the parish in 1864, the parish was reduced to mission status of the Pakenham church with no

resident priest. This was despite the fact that by 1866 there were 90 families on the church’s list of parishioners. St. Michael would become a full parish again with its own resident pastor only in 1916. That was the year when a rectory was built on two adjoining lots that had been purchased. In 1870, a new bronze bell replaced the church’s original bell. Stables were built in 1900. Rev. Austin Stanton, a Galetta native who was ordained as a priest in 1913, was the first priest born in the area to serve St. Michael’s. Rev. Burke, who served at St. Michael’s from 1919 to 1923, was the first parish priest to own an automobile. During the winter months, he would say mass at the Kingdon Mines school house as the Kingdon Mines community and mine itself near Galetta was a going concern at that time. Electricity came to St. Michael’s church in 1930 while a parish hall was created when Ontario Hydro donated a building which was converted to be a parish hall. In 1984, the spire and bell at St. Michael’s were blown down in a storm. But they were both reinstalled. St. Michael’s parish played a role in the establishment of St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour in September 1961. Rev. Monsignor Francis French of St. Michael’s parish did much of the groundwork to bring about the creation of this new Catholic school in Fitzroy Harbour which bore the same name as the local parish. The new school would serve Catholic students from the

Fitzroy and Constance Bay areas. Rev. Orloffe Dorion, who was the parish priest when the school opened, carried on Msgr. French’s groundwork. Indeed, Father Dorion and a parent, John Muldoon, were responsible for student transportation from the opening day, with both of them driving students to the new school. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lawrence had donated the land for the new two-room school, which opened with 49 students with Gerry Leveque as principal and Anne Leveque as the teacher. In 1969, with the formation of the countywide Carleton Roman Catholic School Board, the two-room original structure was transformed into a sevenroom complex with the addition of a small gymnasium, a kindergarten room, two more classrooms, an office and a staff room. In 1980, a full-sized

gymnasium, four additional classrooms and a library were added. Two full-day kindergarten rooms were recently added to the school. To bring about the building of St. Michael Catholic School in 1961, two Catholic school boards had been established. There was the Fitzroy Catholic Board with trustees Earl Stanton, Jim Lunney and Jack Doyle and the Torbolton Catholic Board with trustees Tom McHale and Orville Wilson. Prior to the establishment of St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour, Catholic students attended local public schools. In 1864, for instance, the public school in Fitzroy Harbour had an enrolment of about 40 pupils. Since Fitzroy Harbour had an established Catholic community at that time, there is no doubt that some of these students were Catholic.

I had the pleasure of serving coffee to celebrate Camp Day at the Tim Horton’s at 4060 Carling Avenue. Grabbing the morning coffee is a ritual for many, and I enjoyed meeting so many people. Having 100% of that day’s coffee and bracelet proceeds going to Tim Horton’s Children’s Foundation makes it all the more worthwhile. Last year, Camp Day raised over $13.1 million to provide youth with access to summer camps. I hope that we can beat that goal this year. Thank you to Chris McCluskey, Elisia MacMaster, and Khaled Rashad for hosting me. Dunrobin Station 66 Pancake Breakfast I was proud to support the brave local volunteer firefighters of Dunrobin’s Volunteer Fire Station 66 at their recent Pancake Breakfast. It was a beautiful day for the community to gather and celebrate the important role these hardworking men and women play in protecting our community. It was great to see Councillor Eli El-Chantiry sharing in the most important meal of the day! Thank you for a great breakfast, and for all you do for our community.

Blanket exercise to be part of June 17th celebration SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Anglican Parish of Huntley is holding a community celebration to honour National Aboriginal Day on Saturday, June 17 from 10 a.m. to noon. This free event will take place on the lawn of the parish hall at 3774 Carp Road. It will be held inside the parish hall if it is raining. As part of the event’s activities, Kairos Canada is hosting a blanket exercise which is an informative and emotional teaching on the his-

tory of Canada’s first peoples, colonization and reconciliation. This blanket exercise at this June 17th event will be led by teenager Theland Kicknosway and his mother Elaine. These two will lead what promises to be an amazing educational opportunity. There is a need for a variety of volunteers to serve as “actors” to help tell the stories and to help those participating in this blanket exercise. Both teenagers and adults are encouraged to volunteer for these roles.

City of Ottawa Notice of Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Secondary Plan Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area Community Design Plan In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment and secondary plan proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) affect properties located in Ward 19, Cumberland. The CDP area is generally bounded to: the west by Mer Bleue Road; the east by Tenth Line Road; to the north by Mer Bleue area (Avalon West development), and at southern limit the boundary runs along Wall Road through community of Notre Dame Des Champs to Tenth Line Road (running approximately the mid-way point between Wall Road and Navan Road). Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: a Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components; and a Master Transportation Study (MTS) to provide the street network;. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA.

MARIANNE’S POP-UP

I thought it was going to be so hard. Not sure what I was thinking. I avoided the topic at all cost. I had planned my retirement; planned for my kids’ education, planned for my home’s minor renovations and purchased my new “retirement” car. I met with my financial planner to ensure that everything was in order, that my wife and I are ready for the future.

LIQUIDA LIQUIDATION LIQUIDATIO IDATI IDA ATIO

But then my financial planner asked me if I had put or thought of setting money aside for my service. I was shocked. I’m about to retire, I don’t want to or need to think “of that” now, do I?

EVENT HELD AT Holiday Inn,

And then it hit me. I certainly didn’t want my kids or my wife to deal with everything. I made the decision and felt a sense of relief.

Friday June 9, 12pm-9pm • Saturday June 10, 10am-6pm Sunday June 11, 10am-4pm

Loggerhead Shrikes are increasingly rare BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

I have been an avid birder since the age of five. As a child, among my favourite birding spots were the open fields east of Arnprior. To get there, I walked (with great trepidation) across the Canadian Pacific Railway trestle on the Madawaska River. I recall one late May outing around 50 years ago when on my walk through the fields (now submerged courtesy of the Arnprior Generating Station) I found no fewer than five Loggerhead Shrike nests, each containing nestlings. Including adults, I saw around 25 shrikes that day. Little did I know that half a century later such a feat would be impossible not only locally but anywhere in Ontario. There are two species of shrikes in Ontario. Northern Shrikes are just that, for they nest in the Hudson Bay Lowlands and only occur in our area from about Thanksgiving until early April. Loggerhead Shrikes were once rather common summer residents in southern Ontario, appearing from late March and staying until they migrated south in August. Over the past three decades Loggerhead Shrikes have become increasingly rare, so rare that they now reside on the Endangered Species list. Shrikes are fascinating birds. They are grey and white, robin-sized birds with a black mask and wings, and sport the meathook bill of a hawk but the legs and feet of a songbird. They are predatory and have the unusual habit of impaling their prey on thorns or broken branches before eating them, a behaviour that gave rise

to the name: “Butcher Bird.” Northern Shrikes are slightly larger than Loggerheads, and have a longer bill with a pale base and larger meathook tip. They also have barring on their breasts, a feature that only juvenile Loggerheads display. The only bird that either species of shrike even remotely resembles is the Northern Mockingbird. See LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES, page 25

Loggerhead Shrikes, which are now an endangered species, were once relatively common in the Ottawa Valley area.

Loggerhead Shrikes like nesting in Hawthorns Continued from page 24

That species is also grey, black, and white, but lacks a meathook bill. While Northern Shrikes still regularly occur in winter, Loggerhead Shrikes have vanished from our area. A number of factors including habitat loss and increased vehicle use of country roads have contributed to their demise. Loggerheads eat grasshoppers and other insects, and often fly low over roads. Because of constant “improvement” of country roads as farmland becomes converted to residential land, there are many more cars travelling at high speeds on those roads than there were fifty years ago, and shrikes are likely among the casualties of that change. When found in our area, Loggerhead Shrikes preferentially nested in Hawthorns. Not only

did the thorns of these shrubs provide sites for impaling prey, they also rendered the shrike nests safe from virtually all predators. In other regions of Ontario where Loggerhead Shrikes nested, in particular the alvars (limestone flats adorned with thin soil) near Kemptville, Napanee, and Carden, Loggerheads placed their nests in Eastern Red Cedars. Loggerhead Shrikes still nest on those alvars but today only around 20 pairs in total are known to be present. Efforts including captive breeding programmes and the protection of nest sites are being made to stop Loggerhead Shrikes from slipping into extinction. It would be indeed wonderful if some day once again in our area Butcher Birds decorated thorns with their victims. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

Redblacks ready to fight for right to defend title at home BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Back-to-back Grey Cup appearances is a pretty impressive record for a CFL team with only three completed seasons. Winning a ring in one of those games is even more impressive. Now the Ottawa Redblacks have the opportunity to something incredibly rare in the league — defend their title on home turf. This year the Redblacks host the Grey Cup game at TD Place and are hard at work, getting this year’s squad ready for that test — but that is not the team’s focus. “It’s just about getting better, from one year to the next, one week to the next,” general manager Marcel Desjardins told Metroland Media. “We’re just trying to find the right pieces to make us better in terms of the players

and then what we can do away from the personnel side of things to make our environment better.” The Redblacks are right in the middle of training camp leading in to the first pre-season game Thursday, June 8. Camp ends a week later with their final pre-season game in Montreal on June 15. Desjardins, coach Rick Campbell, wide receiver Brad Sinopli and defensive lineman Ettore Lattanzio spoke with Metroland Media following training camp Day 5’s practice to talk about the upcoming season. “We’re working, which is good — we’re working hard and getting better at stuff,” coach Campbell said. “I think the whole key is to keep getting better every day. I’d say, so far so good. But we can’t be content. I always give the guys the speech, when you walk out the door at night, that

you walk out better than when you cam in. If guys keep that attitude and keep working at it, we’ll be competitive.” The front office is working at getting better, too, which is a tall task when you’ve lost three-time Grey Cup champion, two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player and future hall of famer, quarterback Henry Burris. But one thing the Redblacks has done well in its brief history, is make sure the most important position in football has been well staffed. Last year, the team brought in Trevor Harris to back up Burris, and Harris played in 12 games, completed 242 passes for 3,301 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Registration forms are available at The Nick Smith Centre or contact Jennifer Wagner via email: jljowagner@yahoo.ca

The speedy pivot also ran for two touchdowns. This year the team signed Drew Tate to back up Harris and both Desjardins and Campbell are confident in the quarterback position. “The quarterbacks have been doing well,” Campbell said. “It’s good to have Trevor back obviously. He played Jake Davies/Metroland for us last year Ottawa native Ettore Lattanzio is entering his and played third season as a Redblacks defensive lineman. very well so it is making miss a beat.” the transition for all the guys We’re not naïve enough to think a little easier and just having we’ll ever be at the level we were last the continuity with all of the year with both Henry and Trevor, but offensive coaches being back. having Trevor and Drew as a combiIt makes that nation is a pretty good combination,” transition easiDesjardins said. er. We hope “For us, even Brock Jensen (reto not leased on June 5) and Ryan Lindley as three and four as of right now, is a good situation, so we feel good about that position.” Redblacks six-foot-four veteran wide receiver Brad Sinopli, who caught 90 passes last year, many of those from Harris, says the quarterbacks are looking good in camp so far. And the former Ottawa Gee Gee quarterback knows a thing or two about the position. “Harris is doing a great job,” the Peterborough native said. “I know he’s been working hard in the off-season to get better in every little way he can. I think he’s been waiting for this for a while so he’s excited and I think the whole team is excited to have him as our leader.”

Redblacks title defence starts in earnest at home on June 23 Contnued from page 26

Wide receiver was another position that has seen a lot of change over 2016 (in a league where teams regularly have major turnover from year to year). Speedy receiver Chris Williams and Ernest Jackson were two of the four Redblacks receivers who surpassed 1,000 yards receiving last season. Both have new homes this year with Williams taking his talents to British Columbia and Jackson joining the Montreal Alouettes. Desjardins has been bringing in pieces, even as late as a couple of weeks ago, to fill out the hands unit. “The core guys that were instrumental the last couple of seasons, Sinopli and Greg Ellingson are still here,” he said. “Juron

Criner (six-foot-three, the offense down pretty guys it takes a little while each other out. or six days is all install, so well.” 220 pounds) came into well now. As always, when for it to come together and “We’re just trying to we have a lot on our plates, the mix partway through you have a bunch of new we’re just kind of feeling work hard. The last five but so far it’s going really the season after Williams got hurt and we signed two guys from Toronto — Kenny Shaw (six-foot, 170 pounds) and Diontae Spencer (five-foot-eight, 185 pounds) and they both fit in very well, not only in terms as players. “They fit in to our locker-room very well. We have Jake Harty (six-foot-two, 210 pounds) as a Canadian who’s been here. We have numerous options of younger guys, Canadian and American, that we feel will be able to give us the depth we need because we know during the season not everybody is going to play every game.” Sinopli says the receiving group is looking good early in camp. “It’s going well,” he said. “I think everyone has

The wildlife around here is a little too wild lately

he excitement around Bridge Street Kemptville this week was a roaming black bear. He wasn’t tiny, either. We used to occasionally hear of bears near the old garbage dump when it was active. Someone got chased out of the bush on their ATV once when they came a little too close to a mama bear and her cub. You might expect to see a black bear near a garbage dump. But I’m sure no one was expecting to see one when they looked out their window in the middle of town on a quiet weekday afternoon. I should have taken that as a sign. I don’t know if it’s the proximity of the Northern Lights this week or if we are headed for a full moon but the wild animals seem to be acting a bit too bold lately. We have a robin nesting in the Virginia Creeper vines that encircle our porch. There is another robin in the vine on the side of the house. I agree that this dense foliage provides wonderful shelter from the elements but I question the wisdom behind building a nest for your young within leaping distance of a cat who is perched on the nearby ledge. Perhaps the birds haven’t seen much of the cats since the puppy arrived. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen much of them either. The last time I saw Sheila and Junior they had noticeably gained weight due to their recent sedentary lifestyle, hanging out in the basement out of reach of the dog. He is afraid to go down the basement stairs because he knows they are down there. I have carried him down to meet them, which usually sends Sammy frantically climbing up over old doll houses

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife and Christmas decorations to cower on the ductwork in the rafters. Sheila has been brave enough to approach and sniff noses with the pup. Maybe she will be the one to form a bond between them. The deal was the cats are to keep the pup company while the Farmer and I are out of the house. So far I’m pretty sure that is not happening. Because I feel sorry for the cats, I leave the basement door open. Every once in a while I see a white flash of fur as one or another of them darts around the corner and up the stairs to hide under a bed for a change of scenery. It is, however, an extremely fat flash of white fur. I am going to have to

change to feeding them a couple times a day instead of leaving a bowl out for them to feed on demand. Apparently that is not working. They are becoming slovenly beasts. The only exercise they get is at night, when the puppy is asleep in his crate and the cats are free to chase each other up and down the hall outside our bedroom door. Sometimes I trip over one of them when I’m on my way to put the pup out for his midnight constitutional.

Fergus and I were both too lazy the other night to walk to the edge of the lawn where the designated ‘puppy toilet area’ has been established. I let Fergus squat down at the edge of the flower bed to relieve himself, and that’s a good thing because of what happened next. First we heard a turkey gobble, at the end of our lawn where the rays of light from the house did not quite reach. I shone my flashlight into the bushes just as we heard a snarling growl and a cry from the turkey. The sounds that ensued next caused Fergus to bark and yelp and run-up the stairs to the house, with me right behind him. I think we both lay awake for the rest of the night, thinking about the nocturnal activities of various members of wildlife around our property. The next day the Farmer set up his trap to catch the marauding raccoon, fisher, weasel or skunk. It’s only a matter of time before the critter finds a way into the shed where dozens of helpless tiny chicks are nesting under heat lamps, as safe and secure as we can make them without moving them into the house. And I’m not moving them into the house. It’s already crowded enough in here. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Evelina Albertha Poirier (nee Bakker) 24 November 1935 – 27 May 2017 In loving memory of a dedicated mother, devoted wife, and dependable friend who passed away unexpectedly at home while pursuing her labors of love. Words cannot describe the void you have left in our hearts since your passing. The pain of losing you echoes across the ocean to family on distant shores. Evelina was born in the town of Wolvega in the Netherlands to mother Klaasje Schreur, and father Hendrik Bakker, who were Holstein dairy farmers by profession. She was one of 8 children, and the last remaining member of the original family who immigrated to Canada on November 2, 1951 to escape the ravages of WWII, and the economic hardship that ensued. The family who immigrated included both parents, brothers Jan and Hendrik, and younger twin brothers Roel-Reini & Reini-Roel who were assigned to Evelina’s care, which she accepted with pride and a sense of duty. Left behind in the Netherlands were 3 sisters, Geesje, Minke, and last surviving member Anna. Evelina settled with her family in Prince Edward Island and helped her father and brothers as a farm hand. She left P.E.I in 1955 to pursue work in Ottawa where she began work at the Royal Bank of Canada. She later moved on to a career as a manager at Steinberg grocers, and finally finished her career at the Bank of Nova Scotia as a loans officer. Throughout her working life, she also devoted her time to organizing little league soccer, school fundraisers, and canvassed for charities. Her true love however was carpentry and gardening, which she devoted much of her time to. She was married in September 1966 to Cliff Poirier and they had 2 boys, Rene Poirier, born on September 1, 1969, and deceased on December 20, 2009, and Erik Poirier, born March 24, 1973. She is survived by her husband Cliff Poirier, son Erik Poirier, and sister Anna Bakker A memorial service will be held at the United Church at 6255 Fernbank Rd, in Stittsville, Ontario on Saturday June 10 at 13:00. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Habitat for Humanity, The Ottawa Mission, or The War Amps. “I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me.” —Lisa Goich

West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 8, 2017 33

Volunteers are backbone of peer support program BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Volunteers are the backbone of the peer support program at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The program, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and recently awarded an Attorney General’s Victim Services Award of Distinction, is all about women helping other women who have left or are in abusive situations. Many of the volunteers are survivors of abuse themselves. In an effort to prevent more women from needing the violence-againstwomen services offered at the centre in the future, peer supporters Phyllis Powell and Terry Longhorn helped develop and implement school-based programs for middle and high school students. “Like we say in the classrooms, we don’t want to see you,” said LongFOR SALE

horn, who’s been a peer supporter since 2005. “We want ourselves out of a job. We don’t want to see you in the shelters, or your friends.” The statistics still point to one in three teenagers experiencing some form of relationship abuse. In a classroom of 27 students, the probability is that nine will experience some form of dating abuse. “Those stats haven’t changed,” said Powell, a peer supporter since 2004. “If you don’t know the difference between what's healthy and what's unhealthy, you don’t know.” Which is why the two women talk to hundreds of students every year. The healthy dating and relationships program, for Grades 7 and 8 students, and an annual poster contest for high schoolers start conversations around behaviours while working to break down myths and gender stereotypes.

It’s also about giving youth the tools needed to recognize unhealthy behaviours and the strategies to support someone who may be experiencing dating abuse. “A healthy relationship is based on both people being able to be themselves,” said Powell. “To (be) as equals, to have their own interests, their own friends. They continue with their activities, their education. And what they are doing is respectful, there’s co-operation between them. You compromise.” A partner who uses isolation, power and control – enforcing rules about who someone can see, where they can go, what they can wear or say – and masks it in the guise of love can be very confusing for youth. “We do tell them that your relationship will begin and it will be wonderful and it will be great and you wouldn’t go into it if you knew FOR SALE

it would be unhealthy,” said Powell. “But that’s the beginning of it. It’s being aware of when little things begin to creep in that maybe you're not happy; it begins to make you feel strange. It’s all of those things that can be mistaken as somebody caring for you when in fact it’s not somebody caring for you.” Since 2008, Powell and Longhorn have spoken to thousands of area students. This year alone they’ve presented to more than 1,000 youth in schools and other youth-based organizations. And their work seems to be paying off. When the two peer supporters speak with older students, many have already participated in the Grades 7 and 8 programs. “The message is getting out there. They're beginning to use the vocabulary,” said Powell. “If all this time FOR SALE

we’ve spent going out there, one person gets it, it will be worth all our time.” For more information on the peer support program and the violence against women services offered at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, visit wocrc.ca/programs/violence-against-women or call 613-591-3686.

Brown clocked a time of SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW Carp’s Joanna Brown continued the best start of her silver medal. 1:02:29 in the women’s sprint race. The 24-year-old Brown, who stepped onto the World triathlon career with her second World Cup medal this “It feels amazing to be back on the Cup podium for the first time ever this spring with a silver podium,” said Brown. “I came here spring, winning the bronze in Cagliari, Italy on June 4. with a mission of getting on the podium, and I think being able to back up my performance from New Plymouth is a really good indication that training is going well and that I’m headed in the right direction.” Switzerland’s Jolanda Annen was first to cross the finish line with a time of 1:02:04. Kirsten Kasper of the United States topped Canada’s Brown by one second to claim the silver medal at 1:02:28. Brown and her fellow competitors tackled a hilly and technically challenging cycling course in Cagliari, logging a 750-metre swim, five laps on the bike, and a three-lap, five-kilometre run. Brown exited the swim close to silver medallist Kasper, who was first out of the water, and led the lead bike pack to avoid trouble. It was a mental battle for Brown to get through the second run lap, but she remained with her group of four, and kept an eye on Kasper to ensure she was ready for what she knew would be a last sprint push for the finish from the American. Brown is certainly capturing the world’s attention in her return to the National Development Team and elite racing. Once one of Canada’s top prospects following her bronze-medal triumphs at the Junior and Under-23 World Championships earlier in her career, Brown was ready to pack it in after battling through three years of Build a stronger future for yourself – and for Ontario.

GM comfortable with changes

From page 27

On the stop side of the ball, the Redblacks secondary has seen a lot of change heading in to 2017. Desjardins says there is enough experience remaining with Redblacks 2014 draft pick safety Antoine Pruneau (six-foot, 200 pounds) Jonathan Rose (six-foot-one, 190 pounds) returning to the team. Desjardins brought in A.J. Jefferson (six-foot, 190 pounds) from Toronto who was a CFL All Star last season to play opposite Rose. “We have several other returning players and some new guys, so we have a lot of very good options in the back end,” Desjardins said. “We’re actually very comfortable with where we’re at.” So far during training camp, the offensive side of the ball has been spotted doing more pushups than the defence following head-to-head drills — a sign the defence seems to be gelling well. Ottawa native Lattanzio (six-foot, 252 pounds) is entering his third season with the Redblacks and agrees the de-

Wide reciever Diontae Spencer was brought in this season from Toronto where he had 71 catches and three touchdowns last year. fence is coming together nicely. “I think we’re ahead at this time of year then we were at this time last hear,” he said. “The DBs are getting a lot of picks, which is really nice to see. The D-line is applying a lot of pressure and that’s allowing the DBs and linebackers to do their jobs well.” Despite Ottawa hosting the Grey Cup for the first time

since 2004, the team, from top to bottom, is feeling no extra pressure attempting to be a competitor in the game. “Honestly, we haven’t even talked about it and that really comes down to coach Campbell’s whole mentality,” Lattanzio said. “He keeps everything super even keel and doesn’t put that pressure on us. We are all adults and we all know what we can achieve and what’s at stake if we underachieve. So there’s no need to put that added pressure on us. We just need to play football and perform.” Desjardins says that’s the way the Redblacks operate. “There’s no added pressure,” he said. “We don’t focus on that. We’re day-to-day during camp, week-to-week during the season, we don’t look that far ahead to be honest. Our expectations are to be in the Grey Cup game each and every year. Our process has worked pretty good the last couple of years, not only in terms of how we build the roster, but how we plan each day and each week. Until that formula proves to not work, we’re going to stick with it.”

Always something to be done in the fields

n my mind’s eye I could see Father in the far-off fields earlier in the spring, plowing the fields that lay beyond the Bonnechere River over the West Hill. He walked behind the plow, stooped over as if he were carrying a heavy load. He used the furrow first plowed, as a guideline, never once looking back to make sure he was moving in a straight line. I would, if I wasn’t at school, go over to where he was work-

sitting on the rim of the water trough that was there to quench the thirst of the livestock in the hot summer weather. He had in his hand the whetstone and he was trying to sharpen the plow point to make the job yet to be done easier. I saw that the very point of the plow point had worn away, leaving that part jagged, but there was enough left to finish the job if he could once again create a sharp edge. And that was what he was trying to do on that hot summer day. You just didn’t buy a new plow-point because a bit of it had worn off!

Creating new sharp edge to plow point Contnued from page 39

I once asked Father how something so hard could wear down to that point. He said it was because the land, even though his ancestors had

done their best to remove them, still had buried stones in the ground. The constant contact with the stones was what had worn the plow-point down.Father, with

his hands bare, scraped the stone over and over the edge of the plow-point, stopping only long enough to dip the whetstone into the trough of water, trying to create a new sharp edge. I went to the pump close by and brought him a cup of cold water. He took the cup with his weather-beaten hand and swallowed it down without stopping. He handed the cup back to me, only nodding his thanks. Again, I knew there was no time for idle chatter. The north fields beckoned him, and the plow point had to be ready. As I so often did, I watched Father at work that day. I moved to the twig chair that sat on the back stoop so that I could see him, hoping he didn’t know that I was there. If he did, there was no

The steady plodding up and down, one field after another, and to finish the job, spending untold hours sitting in the sun trying to create a new sharp edge to a plow point that had served three generations.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, while it is important to take care of others, you shouldn’t do so at the expense of your own health and happiness. Give yourself a break this week.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: I am a registered massage therapist. I have a spouse who works full time, and I would like to bank much of my earnings for our eventual retirement. My accountant mentioned the idea of incorporating my practice into a professional corporation. How does this work? As a registered massage therapist (and many other professions governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act), you are permitted to incorporate. The Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) and the Regulated Health Professions Act govern incorporation. Once incorporated, a Certificate of Authorization from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CPSO) is required for your professional corporation to practice massage therapy in Ontario. There may be significant benefits to incorporation arising through the deferral of tax through retention of excess cash and having the corporation make investments. Cash may be withdrawn at a later date during your retirement. Unfortunately, you are not permitted to issue shares to family members (as physicians and dentists are allowed) and thus cannot benefit from tax splitting opportunities with other family members.

About J. Robert Allan

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

There is a large caveat regarding the tax advantages. If CRA determines that an incorporated individual is in fact really just an employee of the entity she is working for, the corporation would be deemed a Personal Services Business (PSB). A consequence of being a PSB is that the corporation cannot claim the same expenses as a small business and loses eligibility for the small business deduction (that allows income to be taxed at a lower rate). You may be exposed to some element of double taxation. So, the decision to incorporate must be approached with some caution. The determination of whether or not you are a PSB is a question of fact and includes factors such as control of the performance of work, who has ownership of tools, and the chance of profit or risk of loss. Your professional advisor can help guide you to make the determination if incorporation is suitable for you.
