Public Health Sudbury & Districts instructs all commercial establishments to ramp up face covering: COVID-19
A
s of Wednesday, July 8, 2020, all commercial establishments in Sudbury and districts will be required to ramp up their efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As part of COVID-19 prevention efforts, Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, Medical Officer of Health for Public Health Sudbury & Districts, today is issuing instructions (PDF 244 KB) to owners and operators of commercial establishments, as well as public transit, to have policies in place to stop people from entering if they are not wearing a Long Term face covering. The Forecast instructions are being Thursday issued under the authorHigh 31 ity of the provincial Low 20 E m e r g e n c y Friday Management and Civil High 28 Low 16 Protection Act. Saturday High 25 Low 15 Sunday High 22 Low 14 Monday High 24 Low 16 Tuesday High 26 Low 18
“The face covering requirement for commercial premises that are open to the public is in addition to the diligent work many are already doing to ensure physical distancing and hand sanitizers. Face coverings are extra protection to prevent COVID-19 spread, they also send a message that the wearer wants to protect others,” said Dr. Sutcliffe. “As we successfully re-open across the province, we also increase the risk of spreading the virus. Establishing common expectations about routine face covering helps reduce this risk now and will pave the way to successful Stage 3 re-opening. It will also help protect us against a potential second wave in the fall and keep businesses and services up and running,” said Dr. Sutcliffe. Commercial establishments are expected to use their best efforts to implement their face covering policies. This means that signs and verbal reminders are used but there is not a requirement that a business must turn away the customer. This is in line with the “good faith” enforcement framework of the Public Health Sudbury & Districts instructions which builds on education and reminders. In today’s instruction letter, all employers are reminded of their ongoing responsibilities to maintain two metres distance between employees and clients, to screen employees and members of the public for COVID-19 symptoms, and to promote excellent hygiene practices including handwashing. For owners or operators of commercial establishments or of public transit, the additional
face covering responsibility comes into effect at 12:01 a.m., Wednesday, July 8, 2020. A face covering means a medical or non-medical mask or other face coverings such as a bandana, a scarf or cloth that covers the mouth and nose. Certain exemptions apply, for example, based on age or medical circumstances. “I encourage everyone to be kind, patient, and respectful to one another. How we navigate this pandemic is our individual and our shared responsibility. These latest instructions continue to count on everyone’s best intentions and my confidence is well placed. I fully expect we will show the province and the world how to do this right,” said Dr. Sutcliffe. Accumulating epidemiological evidence indicates that the widespread use of face coverings by all persons decreases the spread of respiratory droplets, and expert opinion supports the widespread use of face coverings to decrease transmission of COVID-19. Public Health is reminding residents to follow public health guidance—wash your hands; cover your cough or sneeze with your arm or a tissue; avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth; stay two metres apart from others; wear your face covering, and stay home when ill. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, get tested. People who are asymptomatic, who are concerned that they have been exposed to COVID19 are also encouraged to contact an assessment centre and get tested.

Santé publique Sudbury et districts donne comme consigne à tous les établissements commerciaux d’intensifier le port du couvre-visage : COVID-19 En date du mercredi 8 juillet 2020, tous les établissements commerciaux de Sudbury et districts devront intensifier leurs efforts afin de prévenir la propagation de la COVID-19. Dans le cadre des efforts de prévention de la COVID-19, la Dre Penny Sutcliffe, médecin-hygiéniste de Santé publique Sudbury et districts, va émettre aujourd’hui des consignes aux propriétaires et aux exploitants d’un établissement commercial ainsi qu’aux responsables du réseau de transport en commun, afin que des politiques soient établies pour empêcher les gens d’entrer s’ils ne portent pas de couvre-visage. Les consignes sont émises en vertu de la Loi sur la protection civile et la gestion des situations d’urgence de l’Ontario. « L’obligation de porter un couvre-visage dans les lieux commerciaux ouverts au public s’ajoute au travail assidu que bien des gens effectuent déjà pour assurer la distanciation physique et la fourniture de désinfectant pour les mains. Le couvre-visage constitue une protection supplémentaire pour prévenir la propagation de la COVID-19. Il indique aussi que la personne qui le porte veut protéger les autres, a déclaré la Dre Sutcliffe. À mesure que nous déconfinons la province avec succès, nous augmentons aussi le risque de propagation du virus. Établir des attentes communes quant au port systématique du couvre-visage contribue à réduire ce risque maintenant et fera en sorte que l’étape 3 du déconfinement se déroule bien. Cela permettra également de nous protéger contre une seconde
vague possible à l’automne et de garder les entreprises et les services en activité », a-t-elle ajouté. Les établissements commerciaux doivent tout mettre en œuvre pour appliquer leurs politiques relatives au couvre-visage. Autrement dit, ils doivent installer des panneaux, émettre des rappels verbaux, mais rien ne les oblige à empêcher les clients d’entrer. Cela est conforme au cadre d’application fondé sur la « bonne foi » des consignes de Santé publique Sudbury et districts, cadre qui repose sur l’éducation et les rappels. Dans la lettre d’aujourd’hui, tous les employeurs se font rappeler leurs responsabilités en ce qui touche le maintien d’une distance de deux mètres entre le personnel et la clientèle, le dépistage des symptômes de la COVID-19 chez le personnel et la population, et la promotion d’excellentes pratiques d’hygiène, dont le lavage des mains. Dans le cas des propriétaires ou exploitants d’un établissement commercial ou des responsables du réseau de transport en commun, la nouvelle responsabilité d’assurer le port du couvre-visage s’applique à compter du mercredi 8 juillet 2020, à minuit une. Un couvre-visage signifie un masque médical ou non médical ou un autre couvre-visage comme un bandana, un foulard ou un linge qui couvre la bouche et le nez. Certaines exemptions s’appliquent, par exemple, selon l’âge ou l’état de santé.
« J’encourage tout le monde à faire preuve de gentillesse, de patience et de respect envers les autres. La manière dont nous traversons la pandémie nous appartient, individuellement et collectivement. Ces dernières consignes reposent sur la bonne volonté de toute la population, et j’ai raison de lui faire confiance. Je m’attends à ce que nous montrions à la province et au monde comment bien faire les choses », a déclaré la Dre Sutcliffe. Les données épidémiologiques révèlent que le port généralisé du couvre-visage diminue la propagation des gouttelettes respiratoires, et les spécialistes sont d’avis qu’il réduit la transmission de la COVID-19. Santé publique rappelle aux citoyens et aux citoyennes de suivre les conseils d’hygiène (se laver les mains, se couvrir le nez et la bouche avec le bras ou un mouchoir en cas de toux ou d’éternuement, éviter de se toucher les yeux, le nez et la bouche, rester à deux mètres des autres, porter un couvre-visage, et rester chez soi en cas de maladie). Si vous présentez des symptômes de la COVID-19, passez un test de dépistage. Les personnes asymptomatiques qui craignent d’avoir été exposées à la COVID-19 devraient aussi communiquer avec un centre d’évaluation et passer un test de dépistage. Afin d’en savoir plus, allez à la page phsd.ca/laCOVID-19 ou appelez Santé publique Sudbury et districts au 705.522.9200 (1.866.522.9200, sans frais).
Algoma District School Board Summer Learning Opportunities As in previous years, Algoma District School Board (ADSB) will provide summer learning to support our students, though this summer, it will be done virtually. There has been an incredible response to the summer learning opportunities ADSB is offering with over 275 elementary students and over 300 secondary students taking part from across the district. Thirty-five educators will be supporting our elementary students and eighteen educators will be instructing our secondary students. The elementary summer learning program will be teacher facilitated in small groups with 8 to 10 students using Microsoft Teams. Students will also engage in one-on-one instruction time with their teacher. All students will have either a personal device or one provided through the Board to access this synchronous learning opportunity. The elementary summer learning program will include a: • Primary Literacy program for students in Grade 1 and 2;
• Junior Numeracy program for students in Grade 3, 4 and 5; • Junior/Intermediate ELL (English Language Learners) program for students in Grade 6, 7 and 8. Throughout the summer, evening wellbeing sessions will be provided for students to engage alongside their parents/guardians. ADSB will be reaching out to community partners to assist in hosting events focused on everything from mental health to healthy eating, movement and exercise. ADSB has prepared additional learning ideas for July and August that families may consider. Designed for students from Kindergarten to Grade 8, Summer Learning Bingo encourages families and students to look for and talk about examples of math and literacy within real life situations and/or to take part in activities using items on hand. These learning ideas are available on the board's website (www.adsb.on.ca) and can be done over the summer wherever the student may be.
The secondary summer school program will include an expanded offering of eLearning courses that will be facilitated in support of credit r e c o v e r y, c o u r s e u p g r a d e s a n d c r e d i t accumulation. The eLearning Program runs through July (July 2nd to 29th) with a 5.5 hour daily commitment required. Students will be supported with technology as needed.

Chapleau Moments by
Michael J. Morris As the "dog days of Summer" began, in a most different kind of year with the global virus affecting us all, I have been spending some time looking at Chapleau Moments columns from the past 11 years. I have also been looking at sources I have used and came across a column my good friend the late George Evans wrote years ago. The headline was "In the beginning..." about Chapleau in its early years. I decided to share George's column with you. I welcome your comments... My email is mj.morris@live.ca BY GEORGE L EVANS Chapleau became an organized municipality on February 1, 1901, a month after the beginning of the twentieth century. It was a very small town in a very young country. (In February, 1901, Canada, population five and a half million, was in its 34th year, a mere child among nations.) The world into which the Municipality of Chapleau was born now looks rather quaint. Just 10 days before Chapleau’s official birth, Queen Victoria died, and the vast British Empire was plunged into mourning. The new monarch, Edward VII became Canada’s king. William McKinley was president of the United States but his assassination
George Evans looked at Chapleau from its beginnings as 'dot on map' later in the year would make Theodore Roosevelt president. Nicholas II, Tsar of All Russias, would reign for seventeen more years before being shot by the Bolsheviks. In 1901 the map of the world was covered with crimson patches, showing the extent of the British Empire that had, in 1897 celebrated Queen Vi c t o r i a ’s D i a m o n d J u b i l e e . C a n a d a , enthusiastically rejoicing along with the rest of the Empire, issued a stamp showing a map of the world splotched in red with the immodest caption, “We Hold a Vaster Empire Than Has Been.” It really wasn’t our empire. Canada was optimistic though. According to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the twentieth century would belong to Canada. As it turned out, the new century belonged to technology and those who controlled it. In 1901, Marconi transmitted a wireless message from Cornwall to Newfoundland. Two years later, the Wright brothers demonstrated that humans could fly in heavier-than-air craft. At the beginning of the twentieth century technology was on the march and a shrinking world was unwittingly becoming more dangerous. Also in 1901, Henry, a former farm-boy in Michigan who was fascinated by machinery was tinkering with a horseless carriage propelled by an internal-combustion engine. In 1903, he formed the Ford Motor Company and proceeded in the following decades to put the world on wheels and incidentally make oil the most valuable commodity of the century. Walt Disney was born in 1901 and after a while much of the twentieth century belonged to him and his big-eared rodent. Meanwhile, lost among the forests and lakes on the Canadian Shield, the Chapleau of 1901 had little connection to these kings, tsars, presidents, inventors, industrialists, and

entertainers. Its only link to the outside world was the railway that had called the town into being. It was a modest town, a collection of frame houses, three churches, a couple of hotels, a Mechanics Institute, and a two-room public school. The new-born municipality had its work cut out for it. There was no electricity until a lumber mill provided it in 1905, no municipal water system until 1910, no hospital until 1913-14, and no municipal sewage treatment system until 1950. Chapleau didn’t acquire a proper town hall and fire hall until 1914 and 1915 respectively.

While Chapleau struggled to give itself the basic urban conveniences, the outside world repeatedly forced itself drew Chapleau’s attention to itself. The kings and emperors had their Great War and men from Chapleau were killed in France.
Early Chapleau celebration
In 1916, one of Henry Ford’s cars appeared on Chapleau’s streets, a harbinger of the motorized transportation system that would, within decades, challenge the railway that was the basis of the town’s economy. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 eventually brought hardship to Chapleau and hordes of desperate transients passing through it. That all ended with the horrors of World War II when more Chapleau men went overseas to serve and sometimes die in Asia, Africa, and Europe. In the post-war years, highways opened up to the south, to the east, and to the west. In the 1970s, an airport put Toronto merely a few hours away. The pioneering work of Henry Ford and the Wright brothers was fundamentally affecting life everywhere, including Chapleau. As for communications, first radio and then television brought the world into Chapleau’s homes faster and with more impact than newspapers could dream of doing. Telephone service appeared in 1924 and, at the close of Chapleau’s first century, the internet came along to link Chapleau even more intimately with the outside world. Chapleau was still a small dot on the map, but it was no longer isolated and remote. All this happened in a hundred years. History blinked and the world had changed beyond recognition. Today, there are among us infants who will see 2101. We cannot imagine what wonders and suffering they will know –just as the folks in 1901 could not possibly foresee what the 20th century would bring.

Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Canada is embarking on a huge program designed to create work for students whose employment prospects have been waylaid by the COVID-19 pandemic. The money ($912 million) for the Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) was announced in April, but the details were only filled in over the last week. The money will be doled out exclusively through WE Charity, an international development charity and youth empowerment movement founded by former child activists, Craig Kielburger and his brother, Marc. It grew out of the pair’s earlier effort, Free the Children and operates development programs in Asia, Africa, and Latin America with a focus on education, water, health, food and economic opportunity. In North America, the charity engages in programming for young people promoting service learning and active citizenship. It is best known
volunteering they complete. The program will be capped for individuals at $5,000 or 500 hours. An initial criticism of the program is that the dollar amounts mean the volunteers would be working for less than minimum wage in every province - about $10 an hour. The CSSG also has critics. Volunteer Canada is worried it sets a dangerous precedence by paying volunteers. WE Charity offered to pay for Volunteer Canada’s expertise to work on the grant program recognizing how that organization’s help in promotion, advice on engaging other organizations and helping to create training content would have been invaluable to the effort. The CEO for Volunteer Canada is worried the program will blur the line between volunteerism and work and turned the offer down. When the Prime Minister encouraged students to volunteer in late April, there was little hint that the government would eventually monetize those efforts. Now that there is a program aimed at paying students for volunteer hours, any work already performed won’t be
for post-secondary education. Perhaps the biggest worry about the CSSG are the close ties between the Prime Minister’s wife and the WE Charity. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is an ambassador for the charity and has participated in several WE Day events. That shouldn’t outright disqualify the charity, but when added to the Prime Minister’s comment that WE was the only charity that could have done the work, the questions begin to mount. The program is needed, there’s little doubt of that. Many traditional avenues for summer employment are not available this year and the CSSG will help off-set some of those losses for students. But necessity isn’t enough of a reason to bypass transparency and accountability. Canadians deserve reassurance on that front and cutting back-room deals, whether it’s with We Charity for the CSSG, or Amazon to distribute emergency supplies isn’t the best path for that exercise.
Un programme de crédit pour le travail bénévole sera mis en œuvre par l’entremise d’Organisme UNIS Le Canada lance un vaste programme conçu pour créer du travail pour les étudiants dont les perspectives d’emploi ont été compromises par la pandémie de COVID 19. Le financement (912 millions de dollars) réservé à la Bourse canadienne pour le bénévolat étudiant (BCBE) a été annoncé en avril, mais les détails n’ont été établis que dans la dernière semaine. Les fonds seront distribués exclusivement par l’entremise d’Organisme UNIS, un organisme de bienfaisance voué au développement international ainsi qu’un mouvement d’autonomisation des jeunes fondés par d’anciens militants pour les droits des enfants, Craig Kielburger et son frère, Marc. Cet organisme, né des efforts menés par ces deux personnes dans le cadre de l’organisme Enfants Entraide, met en œuvre des programmes de développement, en Asie, en Afrique et en Amérique latine, qui sont axés sur l’éducation, l’eau, la santé, l’alimentation et les perspectives économiques. En Amérique du Nord, l’organisme de bienfaisance met en œuvre des programmes pour les jeunes qui visent à promouvoir l’apprentissage par le service et l’engagement citoyen. L’organisme est surtout reconnu pour les événements de la Journée UNIS, auxquels participent des jeunes de partout au pays. Organisme UNIS mettra en œuvre la BCBE pour soutenir les bénévoles étudiants qui seront admissibles à une bourse de 1 000 $ par
tranche de 100 heures de travail bénévole réalisé. L’aide offerte à chaque personne dans le cadre du programme sera plafonnée à 5 000 $, soit l’équivalent de 500 heures. Le programme a d’abord été critiqué parce que le montant offert signifie que les bénévoles devraient travailler pour un salaire inférieur au salaire minimum dans toutes les provinces, soit environ 10 $ l’heure. La BCBE est également critiquée. Bénévoles Canada craint qu’elle établisse un dangereux précédent en payant des bénévoles. Organisme UNIS a offert de payer Bénévoles Canada pour mettre à profit son expertise dans le cadre du programme de bourse, sachant que Bénévoles Canada aurait pu apporter une aide précieuse à cet effort en participant à la promotion, en donnant des conseils pour amener d’autres organismes à participer et en contribuant à concevoir du contenu de formation. La présidente et chef de la direction de Bénévoles Canada, qui craint que le programme puisse brouiller la ligne de démarcation entre le bénévolat et le travail, a décliné l’offre. Lorsque le premier ministre a encouragé les étudiants à faire du bénévolat, à la fin d’avril, on ne se doutait guère que le gouvernement finirait par rémunérer ces efforts. Maintenant qu’il existe un programme visant à payer des étudiants pour des heures de bénévolat, tout le travail déjà accompli ne pourra pas être considéré, puisque la BCBE ne tiendra compte que des heures accumulées à partir du 25 juin.
Sont également exclus du programme les étudiants qui retournent aux études secondaires et qui sont des étudiants qui dépendent de leur emploi d'été et de leur emploi à temps partiel pour mieux préparer leur avenir et économiser en vue de leurs études postsecondaires. La plus grande crainte à l’égard de la BCBE a sans doute trait aux liens étroits entre l’épouse du premier ministre et Organisme UNIS. En effet, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, qui est ambassadrice de l’organisme de bienfaisance, a participé à nombre d’événements de la Journée UNIS. Cela ne devrait pas complètement disqualifier l’organisme de bienfaisance. Cependant, cette circonstance, jumelée au fait que le premier ministre a récemment affirmé qu’Organisme UNIS était le seul organisme de bienfaisance qui pouvait faire le travail, a commencé à soulever des questions. Il ne fait aucun doute que le programme répond à un besoin. Nombre des emplois d’été habituellement offerts ne sont pas disponibles cette année, et la BCBE aidera à compenser en partie ces pertes pour les étudiants. Cependant, la nécessité n’est pas une raison suffisante pour faire fi de la transparence et de la reddition de comptes. Les Canadiens méritent d’être rassurés à cet égard, et conclure des ententes en secret, que ce soit avec Organisme UNIS pour la BCBE, ou avec Amazon pour la distribution de fournitures d’urgence, n’est pas le meilleur moyen d’y arriver.
This week MPPs found themselves back in their home ridings for a constituency week. I'd rather be home in the North, away from the humidity and stickiness of Toronto. I love hearing the call of the loon on CBC Morning North in the summer, although there is nothing like hearing the real thing wafting over our lakes at home in the evenings. It brings about such special feelings for most Northerners. A truly wonderful sight to behold is the reopening of many local businesses after so many weeks of pandemic shutdown. My office team and I have noted a definite change in people's outlook and demeanor now that things seem to be reopening. One of the advantages we have living in smaller Northern communities is that we have a lower likelihood of having to line up outside our smaller shops than people in larger communities do. You can see on people's faces that they are happy to just walk into their local establishments and go about their business as usual. And you can especially see the smile on peoples faces as they walk out of the barbershop or hair salon as they pined for so long to get back to their preferred coiffure. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, because Northern Ontarians embraced the leadership and direction of our public health and medical officials, we are coming out intact on this side of the curve. A big thank you and well done to the people of Algoma-Manitoulin for doing their part. While there was little to be joyous about having to follow the temporary protocols and the inconvenient adjustments and tough realities for so many of us, we stuck together and got the job done. Now that our local business operators are able to reopen their doors and welcome us back, it is essential that we do get out there and show them just how valued they are in our communities. Many are still facing some harsh realities even now and their survival depends on us -- their customers. Some have not been able to pay their rent in months and know they still have this debt on their shoulders. Some owners even put their own business or personal financial health on the line in an effort to ensure they could continue to support their laid off workers who were not permitted to work. So, it's not over yet for everyone. We still must remember that we are in this together.

NDP demands back-to-school help for parents and schools NDP Education critic Marit Stiles and NDP Child Care critic Doly Begum say the Ford government’s vague instructions for school reopening is leaving parents and educators with no certainty they’ll have support to make it work. They’re calling for a number of specific commitments from Ford, including everything from more teachers and school busses to ensure physical distancing, to paid leave for parents who have kids learning from home. “Working parents are anxious about how to manage when work resumes but full-time school doesn’t,” said Stiles. “If kids can’t get back to school, working parents can’t get back to work. It’s that simple.” “Child care is critical to reopening the economy and ensuring that parents, especially women, can re-enter the workforce,” Begum said. “The government has been treating this as an afterthought when it should be a top priority.” New Democrats called on the government to implement an immediate action plan including: • Guarantee that parents will be able to access paid, job-protected leave until school and child care fully resumes. • Immediate funding to stabilize the child care sector to prevent fee increases and layoffs. • Hire more teachers and other education workers to allow for more, smaller classes. • Immediate funding for urgent school repairs and upgrades, including infection control (eg: touch-free sinks and soap dispensers). • Funding for more school busses to allow

School boards across the province are in the process of developing plans for September based on general, vague instructions the government issued on June 19. They mandate starting with a hybrid model that would keep kids learning at home at least half the time.

Ontario Weather Review: June 2020: Summer… in Full Swing Temperatures and Precipitation Temperatures this month ranged from normal to slightly above-normal. From June 17 to June 24, a long and intense heat spell affected eastern Canada from Ontario to the Atlantic provinces. High humidex values started affecting Ontario on June 17. The highest humidex recorded during that period was 40 in Moosonee and the highest temperature was 35.0°C in Cornwall. At the end of the month, another heat spell affected Ontario and is expected to continue into July. Conditions were wetter than normal for most of the province. Double the normal precipitation was observed in the Northeast and the Far Northwest. Drier conditions were observed in the Northwest, the Southwest and the East. Significant Events June 7-9: Downpours and a Tornado in the Northwest Thunderstorms rolled through northwestern Ontario and the rainfall was most certainly impressive. The Ontario Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) rain gauge at Clearwater Bay, near Lake to the Woods, got a whopping 101 mm. Kenora was not spared either with airport receiving 53 mm on the 7th, and another 58 mm on the 8th. Ahead of a cold front, thunderstorms developed and caused damage in Stratton, west of Fort Frances southeast of Lake of the Woods; trees were blown onto a road and one on a house.June 10: A Day of Thunderstorms with Tornadoes A cold front swept through a hot and humid air mass in southern Ontario, triggering severe thunderstorms. The Northern Tornadoes Project of Western University confirmed seven tornadoes for that day from those storms. The strongest was an EF2 (maximum wind 190 km/h; path length 24.6 km; maximum width 540 m) near Mary Lake in Muskoka. The two other tornadoes were found nearby including an EF1 (maximum wind 150 km/h; path length 5.6 km/; maximum width 120 m) in Bracebridge and another EF1 (maximum wind 145 km/h; path length 5.6 km; maximum width 140 m) in Baysville. About 60,000 customers lost power in
the area; uprooted trees and downed branches knocked out power lines. Winds gusted to 102 km/h at the Muskoka Airport; downed trees and branches were also reported in Barrie. In southwestern Ontario, a barn roof was blown off by an EF1 (maximum wind 150 km/h; path length 18 km; maximum width 250 m) in Belmont, just southeast of London. An EF0 (maximum wind 130 km/h; path length 17 km; maximum width 300 m) in Glencoe downed trees, caused damage to buildings, including a barn. Two other EF0 tornadoes were later confirmed: one in Belgrave (maximum wind 90 km/h; path length 5.5 km; maximum width 300 m) and another one in Brussels (maximum wind 90 km/h; path length 3.1 km; maximum width 150 m). Apart from the tornadoes, lime-sized hail was reported in Windsor. Winds gusted to 120 km/h in Chatham and 96 km/h in Ridgetown; uprooted and snapped trees and power outages were reported across parts of the Southwest, including Windsor, Goderich, and London.

We can't go back to 'normal’: Ontario NDP hosts virtual summit on transforming long-term care Andrea Horwath and the Ontario NDP will host a virtual summit Thursday to discuss transforming long-term care and home care; a critical step towards building the NDP's 2022 vision for a better life for Ontarians as they age. Horwath is bringing together frontline health care workers and caregivers, long-term care experts, physicians, unions, policy experts, patient advocates and family members to chart a path for fixing a system broken by decades of government neglect, privatization, underfunding and understaffing. The COVID-19 crisis laid bare the disaster lurking in long-term care, and Horwath says the summit starts from the viewpoint that the province should never return to the pre-pandemic normal, where seniors were far too often neglected, and lost their quality of life once they entered care. “So many families are now grieving the loss of a loved one who died in long-term care. While we are incredibly grateful to the health care workers who have been fighting to save lives in a system ravaged by COVID-19, we will never look back and believe Ontario won this battle. We’ve already lost too much,” said Horwath. “We can't go back to normal when it comes to long-term care. The system strips too many people of their quality of life, and leaves them vulnerable to tragedy.” Horwath said it’s no surprise that she and her party have a vision for a long-term care system that is community-based, public and not-for-profit — a vision that will drive much of the discussion Thursday. "I envision a system where every dollar goes into care and quality of life, not profit margins. Where health care workers are paid a living wage, with benefits and a pension that reflect their worth, so they can take time to interact with residents and deliver excellent care," she said. "I envision a system where smaller homes rooted in close-knit, culturally sensitive and engaged communities are available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.” Dr. Amina Jabbar, a geriatrician and health policy expert, will help Horwath kick the summit off with a fireside chat, where the pair will discuss problems and solutions in long-term care and home care. Horwath also noted that some major changes don’t have to wait.

“We know long-term care homes are horribly understaffed, and front-line workers like personal support workers are underpaid,” said Horwath. “We are urging this government to take urgent action right now to staff up, get PSWs into full-time jobs with benefits, invest in nutrition, and do more comprehensive inspections. The Ford government could start that all tomorrow, making life better and safer for seniors right now.”
The NDP has also been calling for a findand-fix public judicial inquiry into long-term care, saying that can play a role as a catalyst for the overhaul that Ontario's long-term care sector so desperately needs. The summit will be held entirely online, with almost 700 registered participants joining plenary and breakout sessions from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on July 2.

Cont’d from P.7 A low pressure system brought a prolonged period of heavy rain with very high rainfall amounts to many areas in the Northeast. The MNRF rain gauge in Timmins reported 128 mm. In Sault Ste. Marie, 110 mm fell at the airport while around 80 mm fell at the ones in Chapleau and Earlton. In central Ontario, localized flooding and washouts of roads were reported; Muskoka Airport got an impressive 99 mm of rain. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the south that gave heavy amounts of rain as well. A volunteer observer recorded 105 mm of rain in Grand Bend. An area of showers moved through the Kawartha Lakes district just northeast of Durham Region, and produced one tornado which was reported by a resident who posted a video on Twitter. The tornado (still not rated) travelled along Sturgeon Lake between Lindsay and Bobcaygeon. Aside from tree and power line damage, one cottage sustained significant damage to a boathouse. June 27: Downpours and a Downburst A line of thunderstorms moved through eastern Ontario. Heavy rain led to localized flooding in Kingston; a Twitter post showed a person swimming on Lombardy Street where water was up to his knees. At the airport, 37 mm of rain were reported in two hours while radar suggested some areas between the city and Napanee received 60 mm. The thunderstorms also brought strong gusts to the area; 81 km/h was recorded in Kingston. About 30 km to the northeast in Delta, campers got a real scare from damaging winds; tree limbs were snapped and some vehicles and trailers at the campsite were damaged. It appeared a downburst hit the campground, with winds possibly up to 100 km/h. Outlook for July Temperatures are forecast to be somewhat above normal across the province, particularly during the first week of the month. Precipitation is forecast to be above normal for the first two weeks in the Northeast and near normal elsewhere; there is no clear signal beyond two weeks

Last weeks solutions MOMENTS IN TIME On July 22, 1934, outside Chicago's Biograph Theatre, notorious criminal John Dillinger -- America's "Public Enemy No. 1" -- is killed by federal agents. In a year-long bank-robbing spree, Dillinger and his associates robbed 11 banks for more than $300,000, broke jail and narrowly escaped capture multiple times, and killed seven police officers and three federal agents.
