COVID-19 Vaccine Booking Expanding to Ontarians 18+ Ahead of Schedule

Province Invites All Adults to Schedule Their First Dose Appointment

A

s the pace of Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to accelerate with 2.2 million doses scheduled to arrive this week, the government is extending booking eligibility at mass immunization clinics to individuals aged 18 and over. This high number of doses is due to an early delivery of the week of May 24 shipment, to accommodate the long weekend, and is an opportunity for the province to offer an appointment to receive the vaccine to more Ontarians ahead of schedule.

As of 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, individuals aged 18 and over in 2021 across Ontario will be eligible to book a COVID19 vaccine appointment through the provincial

booking system and call centre, or directly through public health units that use their own booking system. On May 3, 2021, the government expanded booking eligibility to those 18 and over in 2021 and who live in one of the 114 hot spot communities.

Individuals who are 17 years old and are turning 18 in 2021 will also be eligible to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment only for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is currently the only COVID-19 vaccine that has been authorized by Health Canada for use in youth aged 12 and over. The provincial booking system will note which clinics are not offering vaccines for those who are 17 years old.

Ontario is experiencing very positive trends in vaccine demand. The province and public health units will continue to make appointments available as vaccine supply is confirmed.

In addition, the province continues to work with public health units, First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and boards of education to ensure youth in Ontario between 12 and 17 years of age will be eligible to book an appointment through the provincial booking system beginning the week of May 31, 2021, to receive their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. We are also working to encourage eligible family members who have not received a Cont’d on P.7

Chapleau Moments by

Michael J. Morris Chapleau's own Lorne Riley advises that he plans to attend the 100th anniversary reunion of Chapleau High School in 2022 as part of the entertainment, as long as Covid 19 does not prevent him from making the trip from Dubai where he now lives.

Just recently Lorne sent me an updated biography.

Lorne is an emerging independent Canadian country songwriter/artist who released his debut country album “Twenty Years” including the title track as a single across North America in 2019. The track, which was inspired by his home town Chapleau, Ontario, climbed to #102 on Nashville’s Music Row chart.

The song was so compelling it caught the attention of film director Steve Schmidt, also from Chapleau, who created a video using the track to promote the release of his awardwinning feature film “The Road to Tophet”.

Born in Chapleau, Lorne is the son of

Chapleau's Lorne Riley plans to entertain at the 100th anniversary reunion of Chapleau High School in 2022 Jackie and the late Lorne Riley. He graduated from Chapleau High School, and then attended Carleton University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Law. As a hockey aside Lorne was a member of the Chapleau Midget team of 1979 which won the Northern Ontario Hockey Association Midget "C" title. Because there was no Midget "C" in southern Ontario, they claimed to be the "ALL ONTARIO CHAMPIONS".

As a further aside, his father, with the late Buddy Swanson and Tom Welch founded the Chapleau Junior "B' Huskies of the International Junior "B" League and won not only the league title but also the Northern Ontario Hockey Association championship in the 1966-67 season.

Back to his music, Lorne following up on his 2019 success in 2020 with his second single “The Line Starts Here” which charted at #93 and “Nowhere Fast” which came in at #115 in 2021.

Since Lorne launched his country music career his music has received thousands of plays on dozens of radio stations across North America.

Prior to turning his deft hand to country music and lyrics, Lorne cut his teeth on rock and blues as a front man for a series of bands as a young lad in Northern Ontario.------ the Horses and Blue Cotton Seals Band) and later in Dubai as a singer/songwriter releasing three original albums (“Stone Unturned” (2014) with Mileage 51, two rock albums “When Worlds Collide” (2017) and “Out of the

Blue” (2019) with Monks on the Moon).

These projects served as a stepping stone to elevate Lorne’s talent for story-telling, fuel his long-held but unrequited love for country music and provide a fresh new voice and soulful style to the genre.

Lorne is currently busy writing and recording his second album “Sweet Pain” which is slated for distribution later this year just in time for the CHS reunion!!!!

Thanks Lorne for getting in touch with me and please keep me updated on your plans. I hope we will get together at the reunion!!!! My email is mikejmorris41@outlook.com or on Facebook!!

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par

Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

The multi-district balancing act that moves oil from Canada’s western provinces to refineries in Southern Ontario and Quebec is in peril due to a shutdown order for the aged Line 5 pipeline that crosses the Straits of Mackinac under Lake Michigan. The possibility of disruption is huge and highlights our challenges maintaining infrastructure and the glacial rate of progress on clean energy sources needed to replace fossil fuels to achieve our climate ambitions.

For constituents on the north shore of Lake Huron the issue hits closest to home. Michigan and Huron are really a single lake basin which means any oil spilled in this sensitive area could flow east or west before finding its way out the St. Clair and Illinois Rivers.

A 2012 report from the National Wildlife Federation played a key role in raising awareness of the threats posed by submerged pipelines like Line 5. This prompted citizens, organizations, and First Nation communities on both side of the border to call for the closure of Line 5 given the major impact

Line 5 dispute highlights years of inaction a rupture would have on the Great Lakes ecosystem and environment. Citing the potential for disaster, Michigan issued a shut-down order for the line as of May 12th.

For its part, Enbridge which operates Line 5, is refusing to comply unless ordered by a court or regulator to do so. To complicate matters, the company has already received approval from the state for the construction of a tunnel that will move the line below the lakebed reducing the chance for accidents involving foreign objects like ship’s anchors.

If the pipeline were to shut permanently, the negative effects would be significant. In addition to increased cost for fuel (and everything fuel dependant) as supply lines are re-invented, the possibility for environmental incidents increase as oil is moved by rail, transport, and even ships on the same Great Lakes the closure would be intended to protect. If the shutdown happens without an alternative solution, Canada could see as much as a 50% cut in fuel capacity which would send shock waves through the economy as the cost gasoline and home heating fuels rise.

There are domestic pressures being applied in the United States too. Line 5 also delivers more than half the propane and home heating oil for Michigan and is an important source of energy for other States The belief is the Governor will back down, but the issue showcases so much of the work we must engage in to ensure our energy security

now, and into the future.

In Canada, the government must have a strategy to protect jobs threatened by the possible pipeline closure and the environment of the Great Lakes at the same time. That balance may be found by fortifying Line 5 while fostering a real transition to a non-fossil fuel economy.

A report on Line 5 was tabled by a Special Committee of the House of Commons this week.

New Democrats criticized the study citing the absence of indigenous input and voices as a flaw that must be addressed. Going forward, it will be critically important to engage indigenous people on both sides of the border to find a lasting solution.

This threatened shutdown shows how much work remains for Canada to move from an over-reliance on fossil fuels to a low carbon economy. Decades of delay and denial have left us unprepared as the world moves towards a lowcarbon future. New Democrats have proposed ways to move in that direction including diverting billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks from fossil fuel companies to renewable energy sources.

The challenge lies in bridging the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. Currently, Line 5 is integral to that exercise, but it must be phased out as alternatives become readily and cheaply available.

That won’t happen in the timeline we require without assistance and direction from the government.

Le différend concernant la ligne 5 met en évidence des années d'inaction L'exercice d'équilibre multidistrict qui permet de transporter le pétrole des provinces occidentales du Canada vers les raffineries du sud de l'Ontario et du Québec est en péril en raison d'un ordre de fermeture de la vieille canalisation 5 qui traverse le détroit de Mackinac sous le lac Michigan.

La possibilité d'une perturbation est énorme et met en évidence nos difficultés à maintenir l'infrastructure et le rythme glacial des progrès réalisés dans le domaine des sources d'énergie propres nécessaires pour remplacer les combustibles fossiles et réaliser nos ambitions climatiques.

Pour les électeurs de la rive nord du lac Huron, le problème est le plus proche de chez eux.

Les lacs Michigan et Huron forment en réalité un seul bassin lacustre, ce qui signifie que tout pétrole déversé dans cette zone sensible pourrait s'écouler vers l'est ou l'ouest avant de se retrouver dans les rivières Sainte-Claire et Illinois.

Un rapport de 2012 de la National Wildlife Federation a joué un rôle clé dans la sensibilisation aux menaces que représentent les pipelines immergés comme la ligne 5. Cela a incité les citoyens, les organisations et les communautés des Premières nations des deux côtés de la frontière à demander la fermeture de la ligne 5, étant donné l'impact majeur qu'une rupture aurait sur l'écosystème et l'environnement des Grands Lacs.

Invoquant le risque de catastrophe, le Michigan a ordonné la fermeture de la ligne à partir du 12 mai.

De son côté, Enbridge, qui exploite la ligne 5, refuse de s'y conformer à moins qu'un tribunal ou

un organisme de réglementation ne l'ordonne. Pour compliquer les choses, la société a déjà reçu l'approbation de l'État pour la construction d'un tunnel qui déplacera la ligne sous le lit du lac, réduisant ainsi les risques d'accidents impliquant des objets étrangers comme des ancres de bateaux.

Si le pipeline devait être fermé pour bon, les effets négatifs seraient considérables. En plus de l'augmentation du coût du carburant (et de tout ce qui dépend du carburant) à mesure que les lignes d'approvisionnement sont réinventées, la possibilité d'incidents environnementaux augmente à mesure que le pétrole est transporté par rail, par transport et même par bateau sur les mêmes Grands Lacs que la fermeture aurait pour but de protéger. Si la fermeture a lieu sans solution alternative, le Canada pourrait connaître une réduction de 50 % de sa capacité en carburant, ce qui provoquerait une onde de choc dans l'économie avec l'augmentation du coût de l'essence et des combustibles de chauffage domestique.

Des pressions nationales s'exercent également aux États-Unis. La ligne 5 fournit également plus de la moitié du propane et du mazout domestique du Michigan et constitue une source d'énergie importante pour d'autres États. La croyance que la gouverneure fera marche arrière, mais cet enjeu met en évidence une grande partie du travail que nous devons accomplir pour assurer notre sécurité énergétique aujourd'hui et à l'avenir.

Au Canada, le gouvernement doit avoir une stratégie pour protéger à la fois les emplois menacés par la fermeture éventuelle du pipeline et

l'environnement des Grands Lacs. Cet équilibre peut être trouvé en renforçant la ligne 5 tout en favorisant une véritable transition vers une économie sans combustibles fossiles.

Un rapport sur la ligne 5 a été déposé par un comité spécial de la Chambre des communes cette semaine. Les néo-démocrates ont critiqué l’étude, citant l’absence de participation et de voix autochtones comme une lacune qui doit être corrigé. À l'avenir, il sera extrêmement important d'impliquer les peuples autochtones des deux côtés de la frontière pour trouver une solution durable.

Cette menace de fermeture montre tout le travail qu'il reste à faire pour que le Canada passe d'une dépendance excessive aux combustibles fossiles à une économie à faible émission de carbone.

Des décennies de retard et de déni nous ont laissés sans préparation alors que le monde se dirige vers un avenir à faible émission de carbone. Les néodémocrates ont proposé des moyens d'aller dans cette direction, notamment en détournant des milliards de dollars de subventions et d'allégements fiscaux des entreprises de combustibles fossiles vers les sources d'énergie renouvelables. Le défi consiste à combler l'écart entre les combustibles fossiles et les énergies renouvelables. À l'heure actuelle, la ligne 5 fait partie intégrante de cet exercice, mais elle doit être supprimée progressivement à mesure que des solutions de remplacement deviennent facilement disponibles et bon marché. Cela ne se fera pas dans les délais requis sans l'aide et l'orientation du gouvernement.

Ontario Providing More Relief for Tourism Industry Province supporting tourism businesses at provincial parks and conservation reserves The Ontario government is providing over $1 million in financial relief to more than 300 resource-based tourism businesses operating at Ontario's provincial parks and conservation reserves by waiving and reducing certain land use and licence fees for 2021. The province's continued support for the resource-based tourism industry will help local businesses that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.

“Ontario's tourism industry continues to be heavily impacted by public health and safety measures related to COVID19, and this includes the hundreds of businesses that make our provincial parks and conservation reserves vibrant tourist destinations,” said Jeff Yurek, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. “By providing much-needed relief to these businesses, many of which are family-owned, not only are we investing in the future of Ontario Parks, we are supporting local job creators and the communities that depend on them.”

The 2021 relief for resource-based tourism businesses includes: · Removing 2021 annual land use fees for commercial outpost camp permit holders. · Reducing and deferring payment of land use fees for commercial youth camps until the 2022 season. · Reducing license fees for some commercial operators under service agreements in Ontario Parks for 2021.

Resource-based businesses do not need to apply for this relief. Refunds or invoice adjustments will be automatically provided to eligible businesses currently operating in Ontario's provincial parks and conservation reserves.

This funding builds on the more than $1.3 million in relief provided to resource-based tourism operators at provincial parks and conservation reserves during the 2020 operating season. With these investments, total support from the Ontario government for the tourism, culture, sports, recreation, and heritage industries since the start of COVID-19 now totals $625 million.

There are over 300 resource-based tourism businesses that operate in provincial parks and conservation reserves on a seasonal basis, with strong economic ties to the local communities. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, these businesses have faced significant revenue loss, event cancellations or postponements and reduced future bookings.

Ontario manages and protects 340 provincial parks and 295 conservation reserves, totalling 8.6 million hectares or 9 per cent of the province – an area larger than the entire province of New Brunswick.

Budget 2021 provided $1.3 million in financial relief for the resource-based tourism industry by waiving certain licences and Crown land use fees.

Ontario's system of provincial parks and conservation reserves is largely funded through the collection of user fees, including monies collected from resource-based tourism

Le Centre culturel a accueilli Monsieur André avec son spectacle Le temps des sucres, le 30 avril dernier en spectacle « live » et virtuel.

Plus de 18 personnes ont assisté au spectacle ce soirlà. Il y avait des gens de Chapleau, Kapuskasing, Sudbury et même de la province du Québec qui ont demandé de recevoir le lien pour pouvoir le regarder.

C’était le premier spectacle « LIVE », virtuel et gratuit que le Centre culturel LouisHémon offrait depuis le début

de la pandémie. Un petit succès à ajouter dans nos poches. En février dernier, le Centre diffusait le spectacle de Kelly Bado qui était préenregistré. Quoique les spectacles virtuels sont appréciés par les gens de la communauté et des environs nous avons TRÈS hâte de pouvoir vous offrir des spectacles en mode présentiel !!! Entre temps, voici quelque photo du spectacle de Monsieur André qui nous présentait Le temps des sucres.
