An outstanding graduating student from ÉSC Trillium
K
atrina Keech, a grade 12 student at École secondaire catholique Trillium (Chapleau), is an exceptional young woman who has persevered in maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle while excelling at school. During her time in high school, Katrina took part in several sports and improv teams while remaining active in the community. Katrina demonstrates great passion and pride for her Aboriginal heritage and stands out for her continued commitment to her culture. A member of the Mississauga First Nation, Katrina contributes to several pow-wows in
Northern Ontario as a jingle dress dancer. In addition, she participates as a dancer and drummer with members of the Chapleau Cree First Nation during community activities such as gatherings and presentations for seniors. Recognized for her strength of character, she often helps others. She also asserts herself on a regular basis by defending the rights of her people and by making others aware of unacceptable distresses such as the case of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada. Katrina will no doubt continue to live her culture when she begins post-secondary studies at Algoma University in September.

More people will be able to get back to work as additional businesses and services in certain regions across Ontario can begin reopening this Friday. The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and local medical officers of health, is enabling more regions of the province to enter Stage 2 of the government's reopening framework. These regions are able to reopen due to positive trends of key public health indicators at the local level, including lower transmission of COVID-19, sufficient hospital health system
any potential surge or secondary wave by continuing to follow the sound advice of our public health officials." The following regions will remain in Stage 1 under ongoing assessment until trends of key public health indicators demonstrate readiness to move into Stage 2: Peel Public Health; Toronto Public Health; and Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. "Opening more regions of Ontario is another positive sign that we are making steady progress in our collective efforts to contain this deadly virus," said Minister Elliott. "As many more Ontarians begin to work, shop and interact with others, it's never been more important that we continue to follow public health advice, especially physical distancing with anyone outside of our social circle, so we can soon successfully and safely move into Stage 3." Public health remains the government's top priority. All Ontarians must continue to follow public health advice, including practising physical distancing, wearing a face covering if physical distancing is a challenge, washing hands frequently and thoroughly, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you think you have COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, get tested. The Chief Medical Officer of Health and health experts will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation to advise when public health restrictions can be gradually loosened or if they need to be tightened. At the beginning of each week, the government is providing an update on the ongoing assessment of Ontario’s regions, and whether they are ready to move into Stage 2 at the end of the week. To get tested, people should visit Ontario's website to find their local assessment centre and whether they need to call ahead to make an appointment. The province has developed a practical step-by-step guide to help Ontarians as they safely develop and join a social circle. Additional Resources

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par
Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
The Canada Emergency Response benefit is set to expire at the end of the month. It was introduced to limit the shock to household budgets and the wider economy with the hope that people would be able to return to work once we made our way through the worst of the pandemic. While some people are being allowed to return to work in Ontario, many are not. Included in this will be instances where parts of work-places, such as restaurant patios, will be able to open and return individuals to their jobs. Still, many in the service industry will be waiting for their jobs to resume as the CERB expires. To top it off, the government is threatening individuals who shouldn’t have received the benefit, whether out of confusion about assistance programs or in a fraudulent manner. That’s why the Prime Minister started the week talking tough about people who have cheated the system to collect the CERB and introducing
Elements of CERB will have to be extended legislation with hefty fines and even jail time for people who received the benefit but weren’t eligible. The bill also includes measures that will expand the wage subsidy program so that seasonal workers and more businesses will be eligible. New Democrats are looking to negotiate improvements since the government will have to work with one of the main opposition parties to pass any legislation in this minority parliament. Our concerns relate to two issues that aren’t connected. The first is that there are already laws to deal with fraud and identity theft, which was also listed as an area of concern related to the CERB. It’s worrisome that the government has become so hawkish after stating earlier that those who received the benefit in error would merely have to give the money back. In our opinion, the legislation amounts to a reversal of that commitment and, again, are unnecessary given the laws we have in place to deal with any criminal activity that may have taken place. The second is that the recently announced financial support for disabled people will only apply to 40% of Canadians with disabilities. In the same way that Employment Insurance would have left too many people to fend for themselves, the government’s aid must apply to more disabled people. Similar to our work on both the CERB and the
wage subsidy, New Democrats are seeking improvements on these fronts before agreeing to support the government’s bill. For that to happen they need to remove the increased penalties they are proposing for people who applied in good faith and must extend the CERB. There are still millions of Canadians who need help to pay the rent and feed their families. If the government refuses to extend the benefit, many will lose the benefit in July. This pandemic is far from over but instead of focusing on getting help to people who need it, the government is breaking their promise to not punish anyone who applied in good faith and is threating people in need with jail time. The CERB was necessary and 8.41 million people have received the benefit to date. While some workplaces are re-opening, many are not and a portion of those returning will not be fully open. This is no time for the government to abandon and threaten people who need assistance. It is time to give families some confidence that they will have support until the economy truly reopens which is why we are calling for the CERB to be extended another four months. We can use the laws we already have on the books to catch anybody who knowingly abused the program without scaring those who needed it. And, we can do better on behalf of disabled Canadians who have been hit hard by the measures to tackle the pandemic.
Certains éléments de la PCU devraient être étendus La Prestation Canadienne d'urgence (PCU) doit expirer à la fin du mois. Elle a été introduite pour limiter le choc sur les budgets des ménages et l'économie en général, dans l'espoir que les gens puissent retourner au travail une fois que nous aurons surmonté le pire de la pandémie. Tandis certaines personnes sont autorisées à retourner au travail en Ontario, beaucoup ne le sont pas. Il y aura notamment des cas où certaines sections de lieux de travail, comme les terrasses des restaurants, pourront ouvrir afin de permettre aux personnes de retourner au travail. Néanmoins, plusieurs travailleurs(euses) dans le secteur des services attendront avec incertitude que le travail reprenne à l'expiration de la PCU. Pour couronner le tout, le gouvernement menace des personnes qui n'auraient pas dû bénéficier de cette prestation, que ce soit par confusion au sujet des prorammes d'aide ou de manière frauduleuse. C'est pourquoi le Premier ministre a commencé la semaine en parlant durement des personnes qui ont fraudé le système pour recevoir la PCU et en présentant une loi prévoyant de lourdes amendes et même des peines de prison pour les personnes qui ont reçu l'allocation mais n'étaient pas éligible. Le projet de loi comprend également des mesures qui élargiront le programme de subventions salariales afin que les travailleurs saisonniers et un plus grand nombre d'entreprises puissent en bénéficier. Les néodémocrates cherchent à négocier des améliorations puisque le gouvernement devra
travailler avec l'un des principaux partis d'opposition pour faire passer toute législation dans ce parlement minoritaire. Nos préoccupations portent sur deux questions qui ne sont pas liées. Le premier est qu'il existe déjà des lois pour lutter contre la fraude et le vol d’identité, qui ont également été mentionnées comme un sujet de préoccupation lié à la P C U. Il est inquiétant que le gouvernement soit devenu si belliciste après avoir déclaré plus tôt que ceux qui ont reçu la prestation par erreur n'auraient qu'à rendre l'argent. À notre avis, la législation équivaut à un renversement de cet engagement et, encore une fois, elle est inutile compte tenu des lois que nous avons mises en place pour faire face à toute activité criminelle qui aurait pu avoir lieu. Deuxièmement, l'aide financière récemment annoncée pour les personnes handicapées ne s'appliquera qu'à 40 % des Canadiens handicapés. De la même manière que l'assurance-emploi aurait laissé trop de gens au dépourvu, l'aide du gouvernement doit s'appliquer à un plus grand nombre de personnes handicapées. Comme nous l'avons fait pour la PCU et la subvention salariale, les néo-démocrates cherchent à améliorer la situation sur ces fronts avant d'accepter d'appuyer le projet de loi du gouvernement. Pour cela, ils doivent supprimer les pénalités accrues qu'ils proposent pour les personnes qui ont fait une demande de bonne foi
et doivent étendre la PCU. Il y a encore des millions de Canadiens qui ont besoin d'aide pour payer le loyer et nourrir leur famille. Si le gouvernement refuse d'étendre la prestation, plusieurs d'entre eux veront celle-ci expirer en juillet. Cette pandémie est loin d'être terminée, mais au lieu de se concentrer sur l'aide à apporter aux personnes qui en ont besoin, le gouvernement rompt sa promesse de ne pas punir les personnes qui ont fait une demande de bonne foi et menace les personnes dans le besoin de peines de prison. La PCU était nécessaire et 8,41 millions de personnes en ont bénéficié à ce jour. Si certains lieux de travail ré-ouvrent, beaucoup ne le font pas et une partie de ceux qui reviennent ne seront pas complètement ouverts. Ce n'est pas le moment pour le gouvernement d'abandonner et de menacer les personnes qui ont besoin d'aide. Il est temps de donner aux familles une certaine confiance dans le fait qu'elles bénéficieront d'un soutien jusqu'à ce que l'économie ré-ouvre réellement, c'est pourquoi nous demandons que le CERB soit prolongé de quatre mois. Nous pouvons utiliser les lois que nous avons déjà en place pour attraper quiconque a sciemment abusé du programme sans effrayer ceux qui en avaient besoin. Et nous devons faire mieux pour les Canadiens handicapés qui ont été durement touchés par les mesures de lutte contre la pandémie.

Your guide to a backyard movie night Watching a movie under the stars with friends and family can be a great way to spend a summer evening. Here's how you can host a safe and relaxing outdoor movie night during the pandemic. The equipment Rent a projector and retractable screen from a supplier in your region. Alternatively, a large white sheet or a pale wall will do the trick. You'll also need to set up speakers so everyone can hear the movie. If you provide seating, be sure to disinfect the chairs before your guests arrive. Otherwise, ask everyone to bring their own camp chairs, cushions and blankets. The set-up To ensure everyone can see the screen clearly, avoid setting up near a street lamp or
other bright light. However, you may want to hang a few lanterns from a nearby tree to set the mood. Most importantly, make sure there's enough space for members of different households to keep their distance from one another. The snacks A movie night wouldn't be complete without popcorn. To avoid spreading germs, serve individual portions in disposable containers. Wash your hands thoroughly beforehand and be careful not to touch the food directly. You can also stock up on candies,
chocolates, lemonade and soda depending on your guests' preferences. Enjoy the show!

La remise en marche d'entreprises et de services supplémentaires permettra à davantage d'Ontariens et Ontariennes de retourner au travail D’autres régions de la province pourront entamer la deuxième étape de leur déconfinement ce vendredi La remise en marche, ce vendredi, d'entreprises et de services supplémentaires dans certaines régions de la province va permettre à davantage d'Ontariens et Ontariennes de retourner au travail. Le gouvernement, en consultation avec le médecin hygiéniste en chef et les responsables locaux de la santé, autorise d'autres régions de la province à entamer la deuxième étape de leur déconfinement. Cette décision s'appuie sur les tendances positives des principaux indicateurs de santé publique au niveau local. Ces régions enregistrent une baisse du taux de transmission de la COVID-19, leurs hôpitaux et leur système de santé ont la capacité nécessaire, et leurs autorités de santé publique sont en mesure d'appuyer la gestion rapide des cas et la recherche des contacts. L'augmentation du nombre de tests effectués à l'échelle de la province est également un facteur pris en compte. Le premier ministre Doug Ford était accompagné aujourd'hui de la vice-première ministre et ministre de la Santé, Christine Elliott, du ministre des Finances, Rod Phillips, du ministre du Développement économique, de la Création d'emplois et du Commerce, Vic Fedeli, et de la ministre des Industries du patrimoine, du sport, du tourisme et de la culture, Lisa MacLeod, pour faire cette annonce. C'est en s'appuyant sur les conseils de santé publique et de sécurité au travail et grâce aux efforts collectifs des entreprises, travailleurs, travailleuses et familles de l'Ontario pour freiner la propagation du virus que le gouvernement poursuit la remise en marche de la province. Les nouvelles régions autorisées à passer à la deuxième étape du déconfinement le vendredi 19 juin à minuit une relèvent des autorités de santé publique suivantes : Bureau de santé de Durham Bureau de santé d'Haldimand-Norfolk Bureau de santé de la région de Halton Services de santé publique de Hamilton Bureau de santé publique de Lambton Bureau de santé de la région du Niagara Service de santé de la région de York Ces régions s'ajoutent aux 24 autres qui ont entamé la deuxième étape de leur déconfinement le 12 juin dernier. Avant de reprendre leurs activités, les propriétaires d'entreprises devront prendre connaissance des orientations en matière de sécurité au travail et des recommandations de santé publique. « Grâce aux efforts collectifs de notre personnel de la santé de première ligne et des gens de ces régions pour arrêter la propagation de la COVID-19, davantage d'entreprises vont pouvoir rouvrir leurs portes et des milliers de personnes vont pouvoir retourner au travail et retrouver une source de revenus, a déclaré le premier ministre Ford. Les tendances en matière de santé publique s'améliorent de jour en jour à l'échelle de la province et j'ai bon espoir que toutes les régions de l'Ontario atteindront très bientôt la deuxième étape du déconfinement. Mais nous devons rester prudents pour éviter une nouvelle flambée ou une deuxième vague de pandémie. Continuons à suivre les conseils éclairés de nos responsables de la santé publique. » Les régions qui relèvent des autorités de santé publique suivantes restent pour l'instant à la première étape du déconfinement. Bureau de santé de la région de Peel Bureau de santé de Toronto Unité sanitaire de Windsor-Essex La province va continuer à surveiller les tendances enregistrées par les principaux indicateurs de santé publique pour déterminer quand ces régions seront prêtes à entamer la deuxième
étape du déconfinement. « La remise en marche d'un plus grand nombre de régions de notre province témoigne des progrès continus que nous réalisons collectivement pour enrayer ce virus mortel, a déclaré la ministre Elliott. Alors que davantage d'entre vous reprenez le travail, retournez dans les magasins et retrouvez vos proches et vos amis, il est plus important que jamais de continuer à suivre les conseils de santé publique, en particulier en maintenant l'écart sanitaire avec toute personne extérieure à votre cercle social, afin que nous puissions bientôt passer à la troisième étape du déconfinement de manière sécuritaire et que cette transition soit un succès. » La santé de la population reste la priorité absolue du gouvernement. Tous les Ontariens et Ontariennes doivent continuer à suivre les conseils de santé publique, notamment en respectant l'écart sanitaire, en portant un masque lorsqu'il est difficile de maintenir l'écart sanitaire, en se lavant les mains fréquemment et soigneusement, et en évitant de se toucher les yeux, le nez et la bouche. Si vous pensez être atteint de la COVID-19 ou si vous avez été en contact avec une personne atteinte de la COVID-19, faites-vous tester. Le médecin hygiéniste en chef et les experts de la santé continueront à suivre de près l'évolution de la situation afin de déterminer quand les restrictions en matière de santé publique pourront être progressivement assouplies ou si elles devront être renforcées. Au début de chaque semaine, la province fait le point sur l’évaluation continue de la situation dans les régions et indique si d’autres sont prêtes à passer à la deuxième étape du déconfinement à la fin de la semaine. Les Ontariens qui souhaitent se faire tester peuvent consulter le site Web de l’Ontario pour trouver un centre d’évaluation et savoir s’il est nécessaire d’y prendre rendez-vous. La province a élaboré un guide pratique qui détaille les étapes à suivre pour former un cercle social de manière sécuritaire.

Trois façons pour les retraités de profiter d’un revenu supplémentaire (EN) La retraite peut être une période incroyable de la vie, ponctuée de voyages et de moments passés avec ses proches. Toutefois, il n’est pas toujours facile de financer de nouvelles aventures en plus des dépenses reliées à la vie quotidienne. C’est pourquoi de nombreux retraités cherchent des moyens peu contraignants d’obtenir un revenu supplémentaire. Voici quelques suggestions pour les retraités qui cherchent un revenu d’appoint : Joignez-vous à l’économie du partage. Internet propose une multitude d’occasions d’être reliés les uns aux autres. Pourquoi ne pas utiliser un site de partage d’habitations pour louer votre maison ou votre appartement pendant quelques jours si vous partez en vacances, ou pendant toute une saison si vous passez l’hiver dans des climats plus chauds? Tentez votre chance du côté des médias. Que vous ayez raté votre vocation d’acteur ou que vous soyez timide devant la caméra, l’industrie des médias offre de nombreuses occasions d’emplois intéressantes. Si vous vivez dans un grand centre urbain, vous pouvez travailler comme figurant dans une publicité locale ou une production cinématographique. Si vous habitez une plus petite ville, pourquoi ne pas rédiger des articles ou écrire des critiques de restaurants pour votre journal communautaire? Vous pouvez également composer des textes pour un blogue ou faire des voix hors-champ pour des publicités radio ou des vidéos d’entreprise. Il est possible d’effectuer ces tâches à distance depuis n’importe quel endroit. Cherchez un emploi temporaire pour le gouvernement. Le gouvernement fédéral offre des emplois à temps partiel dans les communautés canadiennes pendant les périodes électorales et lors du recensement. Les personnes intéressées à travailler comme agent recenseur ou comme chef d’équipe lors du prochain recensement pourront poser leur candidature dès janvier 2021, et elles entreront en poste en avril 2021. Pour en savoir davantage, consultez le recensement.gc.ca/emplois.
Government must provide answers – and proper PPE – to paramedics after non-medical masks issued The Ford government must provide proper personal protective equipment to paramedics, as well as immediate answers on the supply of masks after paramedics discovered that masks they were issued were “not for medical use”, said France Gélinas, the NDP’s Health critic. “It’s disturbing to hear reports of frontline health care workers being given non-medical masks when they are risking their lives to keep Ontarians safe,” Gélinas said. “Based on the precautionary principle, health care workers have a right to proper personal protective equipment, including N95 masks. This falls so far short of that, it’s dangerous and insulting to these hard-working medical professionals.” In the county of Renfrew, surgical masks labelled "not for medical use” were in circulation among paramedics between May 28 and June 5, and now the roughly 150 members that make up the service are being tested for COVID-19 this week. The NDP is joining calls from CUPE – which represents thousands of paramedics – for the Ford government to audit the supply, sorting out how these unacceptable masks made it into paramedics’ hands. “Time and again, Health Minister Christine Elliott and Premier Doug Ford say one thing from the podium, when the reality on the ground is very different,” said Gélinas. They dismiss reports of frontline workers not getting proper PPE, including N95 masks. Instead of dismissing those troubling reports — which are obviously true — they need to get to work acquiring the personal protective equipment needed to keep Ontario front line health care workers safe.”
