Vous êtes invités à une séance d’information publique – Projet d’expansion du poste de transformation de Wawa Au début de l’année, Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) a émis un avis de modification concernant l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale (EE) pour le projet d’expansion du poste de transformation (PT) de Wawa. L’expansion a pour but de faciliter le raccordement de la nouvelle ligne de transport à 230 kW qui relierait le PT de Lakehead au PT de Wawa, couramment appelée la ligne de raccordement Est-Ouest. La zone couverte par les travaux d’expansion du PT est située au sud-est de la municipalité de Wawa et au nord du lac Anjigami (voir la carte).

Nous souhaitons connaître vos commentaires Le processus d’EE de portée générale prévoit des consultations, et vos commentaires sont très importants pour nous. Nous vous invitons donc à venir à notre prochaine séance d’information publique pour en apprendre davantage sur le projet, les études environnementales et d’autres considérations.

Pour ces nouveaux aménagements, le PT de Wawa devra être agrandi sur une zone d’environ un demi-hectare (0,6 ha) au nord et à l’ouest de la propriété de Hydro One.

Autres renseignements Vous avez des questions? Vous désirez être ajoutés à la liste de contacts pour ce projet? Communiquez SVP avec :

L’EE de portée générale est un processus d’évaluation simplifié qui garantit la mise en place de mesures d’atténuation ou de protection réalisables pour les petits projets de transport d’électricité dont les effets sur l’environnement sont prévisibles et gérables. Sous réserve des résultats de l’EE de portée générale complète, les travaux d’expansion du PT pourraient débuter dès octobre 2019, avec l’entrée en exploitation du nouveau PT prévue pour octobre 2021.

new study, "because I thought that if we matched the two diets for components like sugars, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and sodium, there wouldn't be anything magical about the ultra-processed food that would cause people to eat more. But we found that, in fact, people ate many more calories on the ultra-processed diet, and this caused them to gain weight and body fat." After two weeks on the diets, the ultra-processed group had gained around two pounds of body weight and ate on average 500 calories more every day compared to the unprocessed group. It has previously been assumed that the high sugar, fat and salt content in processed foods is what drives a person to overeat and subsequently gain weight, but this study offers an interesting counterpoint to that hypothesis. The implication of the study is that there is some other unexplained mechanism at play causing a person to eat more when consuming ultra-processed foods.

Fast Food Shown To Cause Weight Gain In a fascinating first-of-its-kind study, researchers have discovered diets composed of ultra-processed foods lead to overeating and weight gain when compared to diets composed of unprocessed foods. Both diets contained the same amounts of nutrients such as sugars and fats, leading to a hypothesis that something else in the ultra-processed food engenders overeating and weight gain. The experiment took 20 healthy adults and administered them one of two specifically controlled meal plans. For two weeks the subjects ate either a diet consisting of unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, or a diet of ultra-processed foods such as bread, sausages and baked goods. Importantly both diets were matched for calories, energy density, macronutrients, sugar, sodium, and fiber. The subjects were directed to eat as much as they felt they wanted.

“There may be something about the textural or sensory properties of the food that made them eat more quickly," hypothesizes Hall. "If you're eating very quickly, perhaps you're not giving your gastrointestinal tract enough time to signal to your brain that you're full. When this happens, you might easily overeat." Blood measurements from each group revealed another intriguing datapoint. In those subjects eating the unprocessed diet increased levels of a hormone called PYY were detected. This hormone is known to act as an appetite suppressant. The unprocessed diet also resulted in decreases in ghrelin, a satiety hormone. Perhaps the biggest limitation of the study comes in its somewhat arbitrary distinction between unprocessed foods and

ultra-processed foods. Gunter Kuhnle, a nutrition expert from the University of Reading, suggests while the study is interesting and well-designed, it is difficult to find much meaning in the results due to the vague distinction between the two food categories. "'Processed food' has become a catch-all phrase to describe 'unhealthy' food, when most foods are processed – and processing is usually important for palatability, safety and preservation," says Kuhnle, who did not work on this new study. "According to the NOVA classification, which has been used by the authors to categorize foods, chilling, freezing or packaging is already a processing step – and for example butter, cheese or bread are processed foods. The 'ultraprocessed'

category is somewhat arbitrary, as it categorizes foods not by the actual processing steps used, but rather the intended outcomes of these processes." The researchers behind this new study seem acutely aware of this limitation. Future work hopes to better home in on specific types of processed food and how they can possibly trigger overeating or body weight changes. "We need to figure out what specific aspect of the ultra-processed foods affected people's eating behavior and led them to gain weight," says Hall. "The next step is to design similar studies with a reformulated ultra-processed diet to see if the changes can make the diet effect on calorie intake and body weight disappear."

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight.

Will Free TV Be The Next To Go? Changes to how Canadians receive over the air television may be in the cards just a few short years after the switch to digital signals were ushered in. Currently, a large chunk of rural and northern Canada access free TV under the terms of a deal between the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the telecommunications company, Shaw Communications. Part of the deal requires Shaw to provide over the air service of free TV known as Local Television Satellite Solution (LTSS). This service, which allows large portions of Canada to access basic channels like CBC Television, is set to expire at the end of August. Viewers in regions not serviced by Shaw should also be concerned if the CRTC allows this to go ahead since that will create permission for other providers to follow suite. While Shaw says it has been “very proud” of the free television service LTSS, it also appears they are taking the first possible opportunity to abandon their obligations before negotiations for their next contract with CRTC have even started. Proof of that can be seen in how eager Shaw

Tough

seemed to be announcing to the public they will soon be losing this service. But all of this will actually come into effect when, and only when, Shaw has negotiated their new deal with the CRTC. That means people facing a loss of service will have to pay for a cable package or go without any TV service. But being able to access publicly funded television shouldn’t be a privilege only enjoyed by those who can afford it- it’s a right that should go to everyone. Part of the reason people pay taxes is so that we have these kinds of services. That’s why it doesn’t seem ludicrous to expect the government and their contractors hold up their end of the bargain. This emerging issue has implications for problem areas that were created when analog TV signals were converted to digital. For many homes stuck in these dead zones, the LTSS provided by Shaw was the only way to access the public conversation that Canada was having over television waves. For many, this will feel like just another instance of companies discontinuing services in rural Canada because it’s more convenient for them. It’s similar to the way Greyhound

busses stopped servicing communities in the north, resulting in lost transportation opportunities across the region. That left people feeling stranded and unable to travel. Losing access to tv may leave them feeling isolated and uniformed. Without a local TV option, people will naturally turn to the internet. But many of these same places still struggle to receive adequate services. In some cases, these are areas that may not have appropriate internet connectivity available for another decade or more. That’s too long for any area to be neglected for important services. It can impact or slow down access to information that can be important for people’s jobs, education, communication, or entertainment. It’s clear that the people making the decisions that could cut off free television to rural Canada don’t understand the struggle to stay connected outside of major centres. Living in a city shouldn’t be a prerequisite to access the services our taxes support. More so, if the CRTC allows Shaw to walk away from these responsibilities, will that make it easier for other companies to do the same?

Nettoyage Du Terrain De Soccer Piping and Shooting and Dance! OH MY! Local Army Cadet Corps Awarded Top Three Finishes at Competitions

Le 14 mai les élèves de la 1re année de l’École SaintJoseph, Wawa, accompagnés de M. Brandon Vachon-Case, enseignant, ont débuté l’aprèsmidi en nettoyant le terrain de

soccer. Par la suite les élèves de 7e et 8e année ont nettoyé le sable de notre beau terrain! Merci aux élèves de prendre soin de notre environnement!

Tournoi Hockey Salon!

Le 15 mai l’École SaintJoseph, Wawa, avait organisé un tournoi amical d’hockey salon. Les élèves de la 3e à la 6e année des écoles de Chapleau, Dubreuilville et Wawa ont démontré leur esprit d’équipe et leur respect du sport pendant les joutes. Ce fut une journée sous le signe du leadership, de la collaboration et de l’amitié. Un grand merci à tous les bénévoles : Anjolie Bouchard, Mya Riley qui ont aidé avec

l’administration du tournoi; aux entraîneurs et aux arbitres : Joshua Black, Jace Kienitz et Zachary Langlois. Un merci spécial à M. Michel Lavergne, directeur adjoint et organisateur de cette journée sportive. Les championnes 2019 sont « Les Ours Senior » de l’École St-Joseph, Dubreuilville et les champions 2019 sont les « Ti Loups » de l’École SaintJoseph, Wawa. Bravo à toutes les équipes!

The local army cadet corps competed in two different events recently resulting in medals and top awards for several cadets and teams. This past weekend, the 155 Air & 2310 Army Combined Pipes & Drums Band competed in the Regional Band Competition at the Canadian Forces Base Borden just outside of Barrie. The dedication and months of hard work paid off resulting in a second place finish. They were just 2 points away from securing gold. We are also thrilled that three of the pipers, Ethan Bowman, Sean Newman, and Tyler Duncan were selected to participate in the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo which is a week-long event is held every year in Nova Scotia. This is a great opportunity for these young pipers! Results were also received for the DCRA Postal Shoot. The Dominion of Canada rifle Association winter postal program is a national postal competition in which the cadets compete against other cadet corps from all across Canada. In the 1.3 team prone match we had 2 teams compete and had a third place finish with a score of 1506 out of 1600. MCpl Elyce Bowman led the team as the top shot. The team consisted of CWO Cassandra Breckenridge, MWO Gracie Assiginack, MWO Simon Beckett, MCpl Elyce Bowman, and WO Ethan Bowman. The cadets also competed in the 1.8 Match Youth of the Commonwealth. The top 8 competitors combine for a team score which is ranked against the cadets from across Canada. The top 3 teams then advance to phase 2 where they competed against teams of

8 from across the commonwealth. The team from 2310 also finished 3rd in phase 1 and also finished 3rd in phase 2. Lastly, the cadets participated in Match 1.9 which is individual Standing position. We had 4 competitors participate in this competition. MCpl Elyce Bowman achieved the Gold Medal for her results and MWO Simon Beckett achieved the Silver Medal for his score. These results were also against cadets nationally. The cadets devoted themselves to a strong marksmanship program with dedicated practices twice a week for 3 hours. The hard work and dedication of the cadets has really paid off. Coach Capt. Marc Cyr has been coaching marksmanship in the cadet program for the last 6 years and has never had a team achieve so many medals and top 3 finishes as a coach. He says, “The team gels along really well together, and really helps supports each other to become better competitors. Some marksmen have been doing marksmanship for many years and they are always quick to share their knowledge with the more junior cadets.” The 2310 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps is a FREE program open to boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18. Training is Monday nights at 6:30 p.m. at the Sault Armoury (1 Garrison Way). New recruits are welcome to attend any Monday night. Questions regarding 2310 Army Cadet Corps can be directed to 705-942-4540 or visit the Facebook page (https:// www.facebook.com/2310Royal-Canadian-ArmyCadets-872416739470322/)

WEDNESDAY It was a sunny but windy day on Highway 17 North when the three of us with our heads down, sorted the recyclables when a male voice out of no where complimented our efforts. In surprise, we looked up and there was this tall man in a perfect cycling outfit on an even more perfect bike introducing himself. He had a British accent and started his cycle trip from Halifax to Vancouver and was pleasantly surprised to see us cleaning up the mess near our hometown. He commented about his journey through many countries – but Canada was, in his opinion, the DIRTIEST. He took a photo of us, my volunteer sign and the trash bags on the truck and promised to stop in Thunder Bay at a TV station (I don’t know what he would accomplish, the littering is too deeply ingrained in most Canadians’ psyche). Then there was a councillor from North Bay area who offered $1.00 for the soup kitchen for

I wish he would come to our area: and who would offer money for the soup kitchen for every bag full we pick up? Last but not least – I had the pleasure to host an exchange student for 2 days. Since my buddies had plans to clean up the eyesore at Tim Horton’s end of parking lot area on Sunday, I bamboozled this young man to come along and help – wrong! Yes, he helped. We filled 4 large

trash bags and one recyclable. But I could tell by his demeanor, he was not impressed. Where he came from, people are respectful and littering is not a big issue. He had only one word when I asked for his opinion: DISGUSTING!! So, people, Canada is a great Country. Unfortunately, some of us abuse the privileges we have and mess it up. Smarten up and keep it clean. More next week. Sincerely, Karin Grundt

With Jim White Chapter 19 Henry got a call at work on the Thursday morning before Easter Good Friday, from BB. He wanted to meet Henry out in front of the drug store at 5:00 that afternoon. It certainly seemed odd to Henry. But he didn't get too worried over it. He didn't have time anyway, as everyone at the office was gearing down for the long weekend, including Henry. He was trying to get caught up on some of the paperwork that accumulated over the past week. He was able to get out of the office about five minutes to five. When he arrived, he saw that BB was already there, looking in the window at the Easter display. He moved over to Henry's truck before he could get out. He got in the passenger side. Henry asked him immediately, “What are you doing? We can't be seen together. What if Alice sees us from inside? She works until store closing today, you know.” BB turned his head sideways to look at Henry. “Just calm down. It's just that we need to survey the scene of your next job. I need you to go in and see Alice on the pretext of buying something – say razor blades, shaving lotion, whatever. Just make sure it is something that is sold near the pharmacy section at the back. I will come in and scout out the store too- separately from you, of course. I need to check out the security system. I need you to also watch the pharmacists to see how they secure their medications at the end of the day. You will need this information when you break in tonight.” Henry stared at BB, and said in a stunned tone, “What? Are you serious? Break into the pharmacy. No way. That's just too dangerous.” He emphatically shook his head. “Well, unless you want to do it right now, with everyone still in the store. Maybe you will end up shooting Alice again. Surely you don't want to have that happen, do you?” Henry turned pale, and gasped. “Oh, no, that's for sure. No we can't do it tonight. If it really must be done, at least wait until Alice isn't in the store. She is off next Tuesday.” “Uh, pardon me, Henry. I think you misunderstood what I meant. You will do the break in part yourself, and it has to be tonight. Those drugs have to be delivered to my client by tomorrow afternoon. My other source has run out, so that is why it is necessary to hit this pharmacy. Too bad, but what can you do. Now, to continue, I have another employee who will be in the getaway car – just like in the movies. Once you get the drugs we need, give them to the driver. Then you quickly walk away home like nothing ever happened.

A Short Story Series - Resolutions

I don't want you to use your truck. Too many chances for it to be seen.” Henry stared at BB in disbelief. He sounded so matter-offact about the whole deal, as if it was just a normal conversation. But I am the one who is committing a crime, and if I get caught, I will be the one who goes to jail. As if BB had read his mind, he broke into his thoughts. “Need I remind you that I am the employer, and you are the employee. You do your job, and I pay you, right. Just like the contract we signed. You are still in the red, so you don't have much choice in this, do you. Now, back to business. It will be the perfect time to do it. Hopefully in their hurry to get out of there on this long weekend, maybe they will forget to lock up. We can hope. So, my driver, Tom – I don't think you know him- will pick you up at your place about 9:00 tonight. Once you break in, you will only have about two minutes after the alarm goes off, before the cops get there, according to my guy who is into security systems. So you will have to work fast. Make sure you bring the tools you need to get at those drugs. Bring a big bag to throw them into, and get out to the car fast. Just in case the cameras are still working, maybe you should bring that black balaclava from your Mac's job, so you won't be recognized.” He paused as he smiled at the thought of Henry wearing that. “Bring your gun along too, in case you have to shoot your way out, -but I am sure you won't need it- and a flashlight, and a brick to smash the door glass. If things go wrong, Tom will scram out of there. So you may be on your own to haul the bag home, and we will pick it up at your place later. But I trust that you will do a super job, and everything will go according to plan. Any questions?” Henry thought about all this. It was like a bad dream, only it was real life. He was going to have to rob a drug store for drugs – which did bring up a question. “Yeah, what drugs am I looking for?” “Oh, right, good one. I need Oxycontin and Percocet in particular. This client will pay handsomely for whatever we can supply him with. It's a very lucrative deal for both of us. I will make a good profit, and I will put a good portion of that into your account. That will more than erase your debit. So make sure this works. Now let's get out, and get started.” Without another word, BB opened the door and got out. Henry followed him into the store. He watched BB, as he innocently looked around. Henry spotted Alice near the back, getting some prescriptions ready. As he got nearer, he scanned the area, to see what he could find to buy. He spotted the throat lozenges

along the shelf below the pharmacy counter above him. “Hi, Alice. I need something for my throat. It is sore. I hope that I am not coming down with a cold.” He coughed, just to give her the idea that he was not lying. He was busy scanning up above at the pharmacists, trying to see what they were doing. He pretended to be unable to decide which one to buy. Alice informed him at 5:25 that it was time to close up. He quickly grabbed one of the packages of lozenges, and handed them to her to ring up. While she was doing that, it gave him another chance to get a close up look at the shelves. He saw what he needed to know for tonight, and then turned his attention to Alice. He asked her if she would be home soon. She replied that it would be shortly after six, once the store was closed up, and everything was accounted for. He told her he would order a pizza when he got home, and asked if she could pick it up on the way home. She said sure. He headed towards the front door. Just before he left, he looked around for BB, and could not see him. He presumed that he had left already. He wasn't in the truck. He was relieved at that. He didn't want to be seen with him anyway. So he headed home and got out his 'robbery' equipment, and put them in the truck before Alice got home. He turned on the TV, trying to take his mind off tonight while he waited for her. She came in with the pizza . Henry had severe heartburn by the time he had finished eating. He was so nervous again for the how many times, he wondered. After that they just sat and watched TV. At nine o'clock, a car pulled up into the driveway. It kept its' headlights on. “I wonder who that could be,” Alice asked. Henry quickly said, “I'll go and see. It might be Tony. He was saying at work that he might need a hand with his four-wheeler over the weekend. Maybe it's him.” He got his jacket on. He got his parcel out of the truck, and put it in the car. Then he dashed in, and confirmed his story to her. “I shouldn't be long. See ya later.” He got into Tom's car, and they drove to the drug store in silence for a bit. Finally, Tom asked, “You know what you have to do, don't you. I will park on the side street, to avoid being noticed. If I hear the cops sirens getting too close, and you are not back, you know I am taking off. I can't risk being caught either. Good luck.” “Thanks. I am not a burglar. Just because I robbed that Mac's store earlier this year, he thinks I can pull this off. I hope he's right.” Tom concluded with, “No, I am sure you will do fine. Well, here we are. I will see you here in two min-

utes, or later at your place.” He parked, and Henry took a deep breath, before getting out. He looked furtively as he stood in front of the door. He got the brick out, and was just about to swing it hard, when to his astonishment, BB stood in the doorway from inside the pharmacy. He unlocked the door for him. Henry quickly slipped in, and stared at BB. He whispered, “What are you doing here? How did you get in?” BB smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “Well, as I was scouting the joint out, I happened to see the door to the basement. So I just opened it and went downstairs and waited until everyone was gone. So I had the place to myself. While I was waiting for you, I have disarmed the alarm. It wasn't hard to do at all. Then I helped myself to some chocolate bars, and pop. I got myself a goody bag of some stuff that I need. I feel bad about not paying, but I am sure they won't mind.” He laughed loudly. His voice echoed around the empty store. “Do you have to talk so loud.” “Sorry. Okay get on with your job. Get those drugs. I am leaving now. I have another appointment. Lock up behind you when you leave.” He laughed again at his joke. In a panic, Henry begged him to stay. “I'll just be a minute, and I can give it to you then. I don't want to stay here alone.” “No, you'll be fine. Take your time. There is no alarm to worry about. My assistant got it disarmed earlier tonight. Just watch for passersby that might see your flashlight beam in the back. I'll settle your account over the weekend, and let you know next week how you stand.” He quickly opened the door, and slipped out, and vanished around the corner. Henry stood there momentarily, not sure what to do. His eyes got accustomed to the dark. There was enough street light to get him to the back okay. Then he had to turn the flashlight on, as he broke the locks to the shelves where the medicines were kept. He was relieved that it was that easy to get them opened without any noise that some passerby might see. He found the drugs he needed and shoveled them into his bag. He closed the doors to delay the realization that they had been robbed, on Easter Monday when the staff would come back to work. He was sweating and shaking, between nerves and the physical workout he had to do to get the locks off. He headed back towards the front of the store, when he was caught completely off-guard as someone shouted at him at the counter beside the front door. “Who's there? Stop. It's the police. Show yourself.” Henry saw him standing at the counter, with his gun drawn. In a gut reaction, from his mili-

tary service in Afghanistan, he pulled his own gun out, and fired a shot at the figure. He fell towards the floor, apparently shot. He fired one round toward Henry as he fell. It missed him, as he ran to the front door. He saw the cop slumped on his side, blood starting to ooze out of his side. He was obviously unconscious. He panicked and quickly ran out the door, and around to the side street. Tom was there, and just about ready to pull away. Henry threw the bag in. Tom asked, “What was that shot about?” Henry stated bluntly, “I just shot a cop! God, now I'm in big trouble.” Before he could say anything else, Tom angrily said, “Shit, get out of here. Boy, is BB ever going to be pissed at this.” He started to move the car, so Henry had to quickly close the door. Tom sped away, leaving Henry to himself on the street. He didn't know what to do. Should he go back in? Should he run home? Call 911 from the store? Call from home? He stood there for a minute or so, before he heard the sound of sirens coming closer. That jolted him into action, as he quickly began running away down the street in the opposite direction of the sound. He thought as he walked - - It had gone so well. Why had that cop come in just then? I thought the door was locked when BB left. Another minute and I would have been home free. Why can't I do anything right? I have the worst luck. Why me. -- He got home, cold and shaking. Alice wasn't home either when he returned. He thought that odd. He stashed his gun and balaclava away in the garage, went back inside. He took a hot shower, and went to bed. Alice came home about 10:30 pm, and was surprised to find him in bed already. He explained that he thought he was getting a cold. The cough drops hadn't helped at all. He was just feeling so miserable that he headed to bed. He didn't ask where she had been. His mind was on the robbery and him shooting a cop. She was more surprised on that Good Friday, when she heard that the pharmacy had been robbed, and a policeman shot. Henry got a surprise, too, that day.

However, fires that are sparked by lightning strikes are responsible for 85 percent of all of the acres burned across the country. While heat remains entrenched across western Canada, the water off the coast of British Columbia is also expected to be warmer than normal throughout the summer. “Water temperatures are expected to remain above normal along coastal British Columbia this summer, which may result in a higher population of salmon,” Anderson said. This could be a boon for the fishing industry across the region.

Michael Mantha MPP: News from the Park

A short while ago my office team was telling me about some improvements to a computer program we use to manage the huge volume of case work that comes through our office. The improvements were predominantly geared to efficiency, streamlining file management and advanced means of file saving and recall. I was very pleased to hear my team finds the program an excellent tool. But there was another feature that they brought to my attention that lets us do comparisons and identifying trends in case work. So, I was looking for what kinds of cases come in most frequently, which ones have particular peaks, which ones recur annually and so on. It did not by any means surprise me that case work can at times be ‘streaky’ – building up for a while then tapering off once the matter is addressed by the appropriate ministry or agency. One of the things I did note, however, is which issues seem to arise consistently and those which remain active for the longest. I don’t think anyone would be too surprised to learn that my office’s Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) cases is one of the most consistently opened as well as typically taking the longest to resolve. Injured workers call our office desperate for assistance with their cases. So many constituents are truly despondent because their cases seems to sit interminably on their WSIB worker’s desk. They wait and wait to receive some sort of assessment, decision or appeal for their claim. And I’m not talking just days or even weeks

here. I’m talking over a year! They are quite literally in many cases facing financial ruin for their family. What message are Ontarians receiving about how concerned our government is for our workers who are injured or who are ill from some hazardous workplace conditions? Since I was first elected as MPP, this is one area where there has been little to no improvement by any government. It is very important to note here that the problem does not lie at the feet of the WSIB frontline workers. WSIB staff report that they themselves are so frustrated trying to work with impossible case loads, knowing their clients are suffering not only from physical pain but from financial and emotional drain. WSIB staff are watching their co-workers burning out all around them. In fact in late March, WSIB staff rallied outside their own office buildings to make the public aware that the Board is not addressing chronic staff shortages. The March 22nd, 2019 edition of The Star indicated that, “a 2018 poll conducted by the union found that 90 percent of the 263 employees surveyed said workrelated stress was impacting their personal lives and 92 per cent attributed workload issues to understaffing at the WSIB.” Clearly the government funding or the insurance board is grossly inadequate. WSIB is supported entirely by premiums paid by employers since they are the ones who need to have insurance to protect their workers. So what is Doug Ford’s solution in addressing the underfunding and staff shortage situation? He cuts employer premiums by a whopping 30 percent. Wouldn’t you love to have your home or car insurance premium

drop by 30 percent? Doug Ford is attacking workers suffering from workplace injury or illness but who are very frequently denied the benefits they need to make ends meet. This payout for big business comes from the elimination of WSIB’s unfunded liability – the difference between its current funding levels and longterm payouts. Instead of making sure vulnerable workers in need of benefits saw those payouts, Ford’s Conservatives chose to reward big business with a premium break instead. For decades the Worker’s Compensation Board suffered drastic cuts by the Harris Conservatives and subsequent Liberals. Now, it appears that Doug Ford is using the Wynne Liberal playbook by giving employers even more breaks on the premiums they pay to the board. Instead what he should be doing is ensuring workers who get injured at work have benefits to fall back on when they need them. Now, in what can be considered to be nothing more than a public relations stunt, the Government announced they will be conducting a review of WSIB. They say they will be looking into the board’s financial oversight, administration and efficiency. They plan on comparing their findings to other provinces and private sector insurance companies. But they also say that they are not interested in looking into how WSIB processes claims, sets its benefit levels or makes its decisions. Upon learning of the planned review, my colleague Wayne Gates, the NDP critic for WSIB, expressed the incensed frustration of thousands of Ontarians including the NDP caucus with

the lack of effort to tackle WSIB’s issues. In the Legislature Gates said, “Injured workers have suffered for decades under a WSIB that failed to properly compensate workers who were injured on the job. Within months of taking office, Doug Ford made a bad situation worse, slashing employer contributions by 30 percent, and delivering a kick in the teeth to injured workers who are struggling following serious injuries on the job.” It’s already clear that this review will not lead to improvements for injured workers. The Ford government has admitted that it could open the door to privatization and cuts, a move that will further disadvantage workers injured or ill because of working conditions. It is concerning that the government wants to mimic practices of the private insurance sector when it comes to protecting injured workers in the province. Do we really want to have a workers’ insurance system that looks to line the pockets of private companies and investors

rather than seeing to the needs of injured workers and their families? From the number of WSIB case intakes our team processes each year, I think the answer is clear. New Democrats see this review simply as an attempt to claw back support and benefits from vulnerable workers. Is a review necessary? We say, yes, absolutely it is. But what we need is a review that will put the needs of injured and sick workers first and foremost rather than wealthy individuals and corporations. Ontarians deserve a government that protects the injured and sick workers’ benefits and supports their rights. As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters.

The LDHC Foundation Thanks the Direct Sales Fundraising Group

The 7 public health units in northern Ontario will be working together on climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation reports over the next 2 years with funding support from Health Canada. Climate change is a threat to human health around the world. The changing environment resulting from climate change will bring new health issues, and existing issues may get worse. Some of the future health impacts of climate change may include an increase in vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, an increase in food- and water-borne illnesses, and health impacts associated with an increase in extreme weather events such as flooding. Climate change impacts in northern Ontario are expected to be felt differently than in southern areas of the province, due to a vast and variable geography across the region. Within each of the northern Ontario health units, each area will need to understand and respond to climate change based on local factors unique to

their diverse communities. The partners in the project include Algoma Public Health, North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit, Northwestern Health Unit, Porcupine Health Unit, Public Health Sudbury & Districts, Thunder Bay District Health Unit, and Timiskaming Health Unit. The project is administered at Northwestern Health Unit on behalf of the group. Dr Kit Young-Hoon, Medical Officer of Health at Northwestern Health Unit says “a project staff person will work with the health units to create common tools and information so they can each engage stakeholders at the local level.” The purpose of these local meetings will be to educate partners about the effect of climate change on health, and explore possible future policies and programs that might help people adapt to the changes that are happening. Separate reports will be produced for each health unit region.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY June 6th, 1912 The eruption of Novarupta in Alaska begins, the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY June 5th, 70 A.D. Titus and his Roman legions breach the middle wall of Jerusalem.

Two men on a cross-country charity bike ride rolled through Wawa this Monday night. Liam Hunt and Ben Cowderoy, childhood friends from Newmarket, Ontario, are cycling unassisted over 4,500 kilometres from Toronto to Vancouver fundraising for much-needed mental health research. They’ve set a goal of raising $25,000 by the end of their ride to provide scholarships in the mental health sciences. They’ve already raised nearly $20,000. In 2015, Cowderoy organized his first charity ride. He rode from Guelph, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 18 days and raised over $10,000 for the Canadian Mental Health Association largely from hand-to-hand donations. This time, Hunt is joining Cowderoy as they ride across the country for a cause of their own. After experiencing mental health difficulties during their time at university, the pair noticed a serious lack of funding for mental health research in Canada. This lead Hunt and Cowderoy to create the Stratas Foundation along with Danika Wagner, a psychology student and marketing coordinator. Beginning in the 2019-2020 academic year, Stratas will award scholarships to fledgling scholars doing research on mental health. The aim is to help expand the body of research on the causes and treatments for mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and addiction. Ben and Liam plan to finish the tour in a little over 45 days. They’ll be riding roughly 100

kilometres each day with fully loaded bikes carrying up to 50 lbs of camp gear. If you are interested in supporting their cause or sponsoring a scholarship in your business’ or family’s name, visit StratasFoundation.com. To follow their journey, check them out on Instagram at @stratasfoundation, @bikingben, @lahunt_, or on Facebook at The Stratas Foundation.
