Reopening Ontario T
he Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures. The plan is based on: -the provincewide vaccination rate -improvements in key public health and health care indicators In Step 2 of the roadmap, we must all continue to follow the public health measures, advice and restrictions. Guiding principles Step 1: An initial focus on resuming outdoor activities with smaller crowds where the risk of transmission is lower, and permitting limited indoor settings with restrictions. Step 2: Further expanding outdoor activities and resuming limited indoor services with small numbers of people and with face coverings being worn. Step 3: Expanding access to indoor settings, with restrictions, including where there are larger numbers of people and where face coverings can’t always be worn. Moving through the steps If the province has met the following Long Term vaccination thresholds, Forecast Thursday and there are continued High 20 improvements in other Low 11 key public health and Friday health system indicators, High 25 the province may move Low 16 to the next step of the Saturday High 27 Low 17 Sunday High 28 Low 17 Monday High 28 Low 15 Tuesday High 21 Low 12
roadmap: Step 1: 60% of adults vaccinated with one dose Step 2: 70% of adults vaccinated with one dose and 20% vaccinated with two doses Step 3: 70 to 80% of adults vaccinated with one dose and 25% vaccinated with two doses The province will remain in Step 3 for at least 21 days and until 80% of the eligible population aged 12 and over has received one dose of a COVID-19covid 19 vaccine, and 75% have received their second, with no public health unit having less than 70% of their eligible population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated. Other key public health and health care indicators must also continue to remain stable. Upon meeting these thresholds, the vast majority of public health and workplace safety measures will be lifted. Vaccination rate plus key public health and health care indicators Step 1 60% !Adults with one dose !Permit with restrictions !Outdoor spaces begin reopening, limited indoor settings with restrictions !Outdoor social gatherings and organized public events for up to 10 people !Outdoor dining for up to 4 people per table !Essential retail capacity at 25% !Non-essential retail capacity at 15% !Religious services, rites and ceremonies indoors at 15% capacity and outdoors with capacity limited to permit physical distancing of 2 metres

Remembering my father Flying Officer Jim Morris killed on active service in RCAF July 16, 1943 in World War II
My father Flying Officer James E Morris was killed on active service in the RCAF on July 16, 1943, during World War II. He was born and raised in Chapleau, the son of Lil (Mulligan) and Harry Morris on November 12, 1914 shortly after Lady Minto Hospital opened. He married Muriel Hunt on July 2, 1940 at St John's Church in Chapleau. I decided to share the story that profoundly affected me and my family. I was not quite two years old when my Dad was killed. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. from "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon (18691943)
On July 16, 1943, a Wellington bomber took off from an air force base in England. It was to be a short test flight around the airfield only. The last entry in the pilot's log book written later by the squadron's wing commander was, "Aircraft exploded in air." The usual telegram was sent by the war office, expressing regret that Flying Officer James E. Morris was killed while on active service in the Royal Canadian Air Force, July 16,1943. Similar messages would have been sent to the families of my father's crew who were on the flight with him. The messages of condolences from the King and Queen, the government of Canada and others would come later, full of words like "a grateful nation," "supreme sacrifice," "for King and country." Although I didn't know it at the time, July 16, 1943, was destined to be the most significant turning point in my life, and I wasn't even two years old when my father's plane exploded in air and crashed over the English countryside during World War II. In fact, that date had a profound effect on my entire family. Nobody was ever quite the same again. Of course, in 1943 I wasn't really aware of what life was like for my mother, Muriel E. (Hunt) Morris, my grandparents, Lil (Mulligan) and Harry Morris, and Edith and George Hunt, my father's sister Marion and the close relationship they all had. When my father was killed, we were living in Chapleau with Mom's sister Elsie and her husband B.W. "Bubs" Zufelt and their children,. Part of the time we would be at my Morris grandparents. My grandmother Hunt was in England at the time serving as a war nurse and my father had

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par
Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
When Greyhound Canada announced they were cancelling all domestic bus routes this spring, the reaction may have been muted because of circumstance but the decision will have a big effect on those who relied on the service. Travel restrictions and stay at home orders had already reduced domestic travel to the point that the negative repercussions were not felt immediately, but they will be felt by travellers, employers, and businesses as things open up. While decision makers may have mistaken this for acceptance, as restrictions ease the loss of bus routes will be felt and more may be heard from those who relied on the option before the pandemic. In rural and northern areas, the effects may be more pronounced with most travellers unable to take advantage of inexpensive air travel which is partly responsible for the loss of surface options such as bus and rail. Apart from connecting smaller centres that lack other options, there are also strong economic, environmental, and public safety reasons for Canada to ensure that the bus option is not lost entirely.
Bus service still important for much of Canada The loss of bus service comes after decades of retreat for passenger train services which leaves large parts of the country under-served or lacking a public option altogether. While inexpensive air travel has played a role, the challenges grinding these ground-based transport options to a halt has been unaddressed and even exacerbated by successive federal governments. The need for leadership is greatest in moments like this where market forces are deepening the divide between Canadians living in cities and those living in towns, especially in rural and northern locals. Without an incentive, companies simply can't afford to service smaller centres. There are many compelling reasons for a government partner to ensure some form of bus service is maintained to connect smaller communities, especially environmental considerations. Without a public option, cars become the default mode of transportation creating more greenhouse gas emissions and wearing down road infrastructure more quickly which in turn, creates even more emissions. This turns to greater costs as we are forced to deal with expenses related to climate change such as the extreme heat we are witnessing in western Canada this summer. Perhaps a stronger consideration is public safety. Without an affordable option to travel between communities, many individuals turn to hitch-hiking. That was the case for the “Highway
of Tears” in British Colombia. That route has been examined several times in recent years including a First Nations symposium in 2006, which made 33 recommendations and a December 2012 report from the public inquiry into the Robert Pickton case which called for urgent action to improve transportation along that highway. Those concerns can be applied to all our northern roads and an affordable bus option is one way to ensure people aren't forced into hitchhiking. As we strive to strengthen our economy and build back from the worst of the pandemic, New Democrats are calling on the government to develop an inter-city bus system that can replace what has been lost as bus companies cease operations. This transport is vital to connect Canadians to services, job opportunities, and education. Without a replacement, it will be harder for people to access the services and opportunities they need. This will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable and marginalized people living in rural Canada, including Indigenous people and seniors. We believe there are a number of options available to the government including the creation of a new crown corporation or an expansion of the mandate of Via Rail to include public bus transportation. Whatever method is pursued it will stem the loss of transportation services that has deepened the divide between those living in Canada's bigger centres and those who reside in small town, rural, and northern locals.
Le transport par autocar : un service toujours important pour une grande partie des Canadiens Les circonstances peuvent expliquer le peu de réactions suscitées par la décision de Greyhound Canada d'annuler au printemps toutes ses liaisons intérieures. Or, cette décision aura des conséquences importantes sur les utilisateurs de ce service. Les restrictions de voyages et les mesures de confinement avaient déjà réduit les déplacements intérieurs au point où les effets négatifs ne se sont pas fait sentir sur-le-champ. Les voyageurs, les employeurs et les entreprises en subiront cependant les contrecoups lorsque les choses reviendront à la normale. Les décideurs ont peut-être confondu cette absence de réaction avec un accueil favorable, mais à mesure qu'on lèvera les restrictions, on ressentira les répercussions de l'annulation de ces itinéraires. Ceux qui se prévalaient de ce service avant la pandémie pourraient alors se faire entendre davantage. Dans les régions rurales et nordiques, les effets de cette décision pourraient être amplifiés. En effet, la plupart des voyageurs ne peuvent pas profiter de services de transport aérien à prix modique, qui ont d'ailleurs causé en partie la diminution de l'offre de services de transport terrestre, comme le transport par autocar et par train. Outre le fait d'assurer la liaison entre les petites villes qui ne disposent pas d'autres options, le Canada a aussi d'excellentes raisons économiques, environnementales et de sécurité publique pour ne pas laisser les services de transport par autocar disparaître complètement. L'annulation des services d'autocar survient après des décennies de déclin du transport ferroviaire de voyageurs, qui a laissé de vastes parties du pays
mal desservies ou sans le moindre service de transport public. Les services de transport aérien à faible coût ont certes contribué à la situation, mais les gouvernements fédéraux qui se sont succédé ont ignoré, voire aggravé, les difficultés ayant entraîné l'arrêt complet des services de transport terrestre. Il est impératif de faire preuve de leadership dans les moments comme ceux-ci, où les forces du marché accentuent le fossé entre les habitants des grandes villes et les autres, surtout ceux qui vivent en milieu rural et dans le Nord. En l'absence de mesure incitative, les entreprises ne peuvent tout simplement pas desservir les petites villes. Il y a toutes sortes de bonnes raisons, surtout environnementales, pour un partenaire gouvernemental de garantir un certain niveau de services de liaisons entre les petites villes. Sans option publique, les voitures deviennent en effet le mode de transport par défaut, ce qui accroît les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et endommage les infrastructures routières plus rapidement. Ces dommages entraînent davantage d'émissions et les coûts liés aux changements climatiques augmentent en conséquence. Pensons à la chaleur extrême qui sévit dans l'Ouest canadien cet été. Une meilleure raison encore est peut-être la sécurité publique. L'absence d'option de transport abordable entre les collectivités amène de nombreuses personnes à se tourner vers l'auto-stop. La route des pleurs, en Colombie-Britannique, en était un exemple. On a étudié cette route à plusieurs reprises dans les dernières années, notamment dans le cadre d'un symposium des Premières Nations en
2006, qui a donné lieu à 33 recommandations, ainsi que dans un rapport de décembre 2012 faisant suite à l'enquête publique sur l'affaire Robert Pickton, qui a souligné l'urgence d'améliorer les services de transport le long de cette route. L'ensemble des routes dans le Nord suscitent les mêmes préoccupations, et le service abordable de transport par autocar est une façon de veiller à ce que personne ne soit forcé de faire de l'auto-stop. Maintenant que notre économie reprend de la vigueur et que le pire de la pandémie est derrière nous, les néo-démocrates exhortent le gouvernement à mettre sur pied un système de transport interurbain par autocar qui puisse remplacer celui des compagnies d'autocars qui cessent leurs activités. Ce système de transport est essentiel pour permettre aux Canadiens de tirer profit des services, des possibilités d'emploi et des occasions d'études offerts. S'il n'est pas remplacé, il sera plus difficile pour les gens d'accéder aux services et aux possibilités dont ils ont besoin. Les personnes les plus vulnérables et marginalisées des régions rurales du Canada, y compris les Autochtones et les aînés, seront en outre touchées de manière disproportionnée. Nous croyons que plusieurs options s'offrent au gouvernement, qui pourrait par exemple créer une nouvelle société d'État ou élargir le mandat de VIA Rail de manière à y inclure le transport public par autocar. La méthode employée, quelle qu'elle soit, comblera la perte des services de transport qui a élargi le fossé entre les Canadiens des grandes villes et ceux des petites villes, des régions rurales et du Nord.

The Ontario government is providing more than $1.8 million to help 109 Sault Ste. Marie businesses adapt to COVID-19 public health guidelines and protect employees and customers. The funding is being delivered by the Northern Ontario Recovery Program (NORP) and will support the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE), installation of safety equipment, renovations, and new construction. “We appreciate how hard COVID-19 has hit businesses in our community and we are incredibly proud of how resilient and resourceful they have all been through this extremely challenging time," said Ross Romano, Minister of Government and Consumer Services and MPP for Sault Ste. Marie. “This funding is exclusive to northern Ontario business owners because we understand that they have had to make difficult decisions, impacting their own families and the families of so many of their employees. While this funding will not cover all of the loss, I believe it has helped a lot of people.” Examples of funding include the following: · $25,000 for Marconi Cultural Event Centre to convert its buffet-style restaurant into a pod-style dining room with partitions, spaced seating and floor markings. · $24,300 for The Loplop Lounge to renovate and purchase equipment to expand its takeout operations, and develop its website to accommodate online orders. · $19,094 for KUMON Sault Ste. Marie to install a new furnace and air conditioning system to improve quality of airflow, and purchase computer equipment to transition from a classroom setting to online learning. NORP was established as a short-term program to help businesses across northern Ontario adjust to the impacts of COVID-19. Applications were accepted until November 20, 2020, and a total of 1384 businesses received funding. A running list of NORP funding recipients is available on the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) website. “These grants represent a significant and welcome boost for Sault Ste. Marie businesses,” said Greg Rickford, Minister of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry. “Our government stands shoulder-toshoulder with northerners, and we will continue to find solutions to support communities, businesses and families.”

Ontario Helping Workers Start New Careers Financial aid supports will help people train for new and better jobs The Ontario government is increasing financial supports available and simplifying the application process for individuals applying to the Second Career program. As the province's economy begins to reopen, these changes will make it easier for laid-off and unemployed workers to pursue training and start new and better careers. Details were shared today by Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, who was joined by Drew Dilkens, Mayor of Windsor. “Increasing support for laid-off and unemployed workers is key to our mission of
spreading opportunity more fairly and widely,” said Minister McNaughton. “No worker will be l e f t b e h i n d i n o u r r e c o v e r y. T h r o u g h improvements like these, our single focus is on giving hardworking men and women the tools they need to start a good job and make a better living for themselves and their families.” As of today, laid-off and unemployed workers will experience a faster Second Career application process. They will no longer need to provide burdensome amounts of documentation to get funding. The program is increasing weekly basic living supports for rent, mortgage and other expenses up to $500 a week. Additionally,
transportation and child care supports are being enhanced to better reflect the costs that people currently face. These new changes follow improvements the government made to this program in December 2020. In the first five months of 2021, 2,092 workers started training through Second Career, an increase of 109 per cent in comparison to the same period last year. Second Career is one of many training programs that the Employment Ontario network of employment service providers is offering online and at about 700 locations across the province. These services are free for job seekers, workers and employers and help boost training, employment and economic prosperity in Ontario.

“Mind your elders, Michael.” That phrase was an important part of the family values that I was taught. One that I am proud to continue to practice every day. It is well known that around the world, many societies, nations and cultures have differing perspectives on generational values and interaction with society. For example, Chinese Confucian law promotes great respect on the family unit with particular emphasis on older citizens. The same can be said for other Eastern cultures and some of Latin origin. Here in North America, I have long admired the emphasis that Indigenous Peoples put on honouring and respecting their elders. To be clear, the sage advice to “mind our elders” does not just mean that we must be polite to them. That's just the tip of the iceberg. When we are taught to mind our elders it means that we must listen to what they have to say and consider the messages they have to pass down to us. Having lived longer than us, our elders have experienced so much and figured things out long before we came along. Give them credit as they may know a lot more than we think. Often times they have walked more than a mile in our shoes and have the benefit of seeing matters from perspectives just not evident to us yet. It is also important to keep in mind that many of our elders also understand that life-long learning is a two way street. They are often just as eager to learn from us. In fact, one of my office team members has a parent who took up servicing computers as a hobby at around age 70. Now a year from being 90, he is still fixing them and even rebuilding them from discarded equipment. New Democrats learned these lessons long ago and believe that Ontario can do better in terms of
appreciating, respecting and protecting our senior loved ones. The recent loss of so many of our seniors to the pandemic has in some ways helped us open our eyes and hearts to truly re-examine our values and actions in this regard. As horrific as these losses are, many of which were preventable with better decision making by both Conservative and Liberal government, the one good thing that may come out of this is to right the lack of respect and value that we have been putting on the lives of our senior population. Doug Ford didn't invest in protecting seniors during the pandemic, and nearly 4,000 precious loved ones died in the midst of a humanitarian disaster where people were dying of neglect. But the problems didn't start or end with COVID. Right now in Ontario, long-term care staff are run off their feet. Some people are left immobile until they develop painful bed sores. Many can't get help with the basics, like brushing their teeth, getting to the bathroom on time, or eating and drinking enough. After years of cuts and privatization by Liberal and Conservative governments, the majority of nursing homes in Ontario are owned by for-profit corporations, focused on keeping staffing costs low so they can pocket more profits. Doug Ford chose not to staff up care homes as COVID-19 tore through them. In contrast, British Columbia quickly hired 7,000 new long-term care staff and Quebec added 10,000 new staff to protect seniors from COVID19. Their success offers proof that an urgent staff increases are possible, contrary to what Doug Ford says. This is not just political grandstanding. There is clear evidence that there are problems with Ontario's senior care policies. According to Ontario's Auditor General, people who need home care often get less than they need and less than they're entitled to. As well, location can determine the level of care a person gets. In 2019, the Ontario Community Support Association said 18,000 people living in long-term care could have been at home with better home care, and the Ontario Hospital Association reported 750,000 patient days where someone was stuck in a hospital bed while waiting for home or long-term care. This is not just unsatisfactory, it's neglectful, cruel and causes unnecessary hardship and stress. My NDP colleagues and I have been fighting for a minimum four-hour standard of care for years — but Doug Ford has pushed the goal off to 2025.
From recent events, it is clear that our seniors can't wait that long. They need the four-hour standard to be legislated urgently, and fully implemented before the end of 2021. The NDP is committed to establishing realistic minimum of care standards that will protect Ontarians quality of life, both now and in the future, as we age, instead of taking it away. The NDP instead envisions guaranteeing having enough staff in nursing homes to actually get the job done. Our elders deserve to actually enjoy meals that aren't rushed. They deserve to count on receiving assistance with their hygiene that respects their dignity. Imagine the peace of mind families could have knowing there's someone to listen, to care, and to protect our parents and grandparents when we can't be there. There is so much that can be done to improve the lives of Ontario's senior population. The NDP has developed a long-term care platform that is realistic and will stand up to scrutiny. Any longterm care policies must include concrete plans to: · Overhaul home care to help people live at home longer · Make all long-term care public and notfor-profit · Build small, modern, family-like homes · Staff up with full-time, well-paid, welltrained caregivers · Make family caregivers partners · Create culturally responsive, inclusive and affirming care · Clear the wait list · Guarantee new and stronger protections Our elders have paved the way for us and now it is time to show them the respect that they have earned. As a society, Ontario can and must do better. As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705-461-9710 or Toll free 1-800-831-1899.

Avoiding unwanted camping guests With camping season upon us, campers should remember that the one thing that should ALWAYS be left behind when packing is firewood. Although it may seem harmless to bring a few logs for the campfire, this simple act can be extremely detrimental to the forest around you. Entomologists with Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service (CFS) caution that the most common way for invasive insects to spread is through people moving infested materials such as firewood, logs, branches, or other wood. Insects often hide or lay their tiny eggs underneath the bark, making it virtually impossible to spot pests on wood with the naked, untrained eye. Once a pest establishes in a new area, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate. Forest pests cause significant damage to native trees and plants that lack defenses against these invaders. They can slow growth or even kill trees, having a considerable impact forest health as well as recreation and tourism industries.
The emerald ash borer is an example of how fast invasive pests can spread and be harmful their environment when people transport them by bringing wood from one place to another. The shiny green insect from Asia, which has already killed millions of ash trees in Canada, doesn’t move very far on its own – less than 2 kilometres per year on average. A truckload of firewood infested with emerald ash borer, on the other hand, can be moved hundreds of kilometres in a single day. With the help of humans, emerald ash borer has spread to 35 US states and from Ontario to Nova Scotia, since it was first detected in the Detroit-Windsor area in 2002. Emerald ash borer is extremely destructive and kills up to 99% of ash trees within 8-10 years of its arrival to an area. Reducing the establishment, spread and damage of undesirable insects and diseases is part of the forest pest research led by CFS researchers. Together, they work on developing a range of biological and forest management tools and techniques, such as methods to detect and control insects and diseases.
In Ontario, the transportation of firewood could mean not only the spread of emerald ash borer, but also the spread of several other invasive pests such as the Gypsy Moth and the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. For an interview with Dr. Amanda Roe or Dr. Chris MacQuarrie, Research Scientists with the Canadian Forest Service on invasive pest species of concern in Ontario, please contact Louisa Coates (louisa.coates@canada.ca).

On July 27, 1996, in Atlanta, the XXVI Summer Olympiad is disrupted by the explosion of a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park. Police were warned of the bombing in advance, it exploded before the anonymous caller said it would. Attention eventually turned to Eric Robert Rudolph, who was captured in 2003 after hiding in the mountains for five years.

Ontario Investing in Green Infrastructure to Help Smaller Communities
New projects will focus on critical drinking water needs Ontario is protecting people's health by bringing infrastructure investments to small communities to help them improve the quality of their drinking water. Starting today, Tuesday, July 13, eligible municipalities, First Nation communities and Local Services Boards can begin applying for funding through the second intake of the Green Infrastructure stream. The Green Stream is part of the joint federal and provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). Up to $240 million in joint federal and provincial funding is available for this intake, including $110 million from the Ontario government. "The people of Ontario need and deserve reliable and safe drinking water," said the Honourable Kinga Surma, Ontario's Minister of Infrastructure. "The first intake of the Green Infrastructure Stream was heavily over subscribed. We heard the demand for more investments in drinking water infrastructure in small communities, and we are taking action to support residents living in those communities.”
BERRY’S FREIGHT SERVICES
Across the province, funds will target projects that address critical health and safety needs in communities by making local drinking water infrastructure safer and more reliable. “Investing in cleaner infrastructure is key to our economic recovery and tackling climate change,” said the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. “Federal funding through the Green Infrastructure Stream will support community projects such as clean energy, energy efficient retrofits, and waste-water upgrades. Canada's infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects, creates good jobs across the country, and builds cleaner, more inclusive communities.” The Green Infrastructure Stream follows federal guidelines to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or enable greater adaptation and resilience to the impacts of extreme weather and disaster mitigation. It also helps ensure communities have clean air and safe drinking water for everyone.

Everyday ways to save money
(NC) Many of us are feeling the pinch these days as costs increase. But even if you aren’t feeling the squeeze, who doesn’t want to save a few bucks? Here are a few tips to save in your day to day: Stick to a budget.
You know this tip already, but it’s worth repeating because those who budget are better able to adapt to changes in their finances, according to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. With a budget, you’ll have a better idea of what you’re spending money on and where you can
cut back. Plus, there are countless online tools and apps available to help streamline the process. Re-evaluate your subscriptions. So many services these days offer free trials that auto-renew, so review your bank statements for recurring monthly costs like cable TV, streaming services or magazine delivery. Chances are there’s at least one you’re not using regularly, so make the choice to cut it loose. Automate your savings. This simple step makes it easy to pay yourself first; saving becomes like a must-do bill payment, except you’ll be the one to reap all the benefits! Remember, it doesn’t matter how much you put away at a time; every little bit makes a difference. Join a loyalty program. Racking up rewards based on purchases you’ll already be making, like groceries, is one of the easiest ways to save money. With a program like Air Miles, you can get promotions and discounts on your everyday shopping. Then you can get cash back or dream-worthy products, from video games to home appliances. If you pair your program with an affiliated credit card, you can get even more Miles on any purchase, plus perks like travel insurance. Find more information at creditcard.airmiles.ca.
