Planning for a COVID-safe Thanksgiving weekend
T
hanksgiving will be different this year as we celebrate in the midst of a global pandemic. Public Health Sudbury & Districts is reminding everyone of the need to be COVID-safe this upcoming holiday weekend and to take simple but effective actions to stop the spread of the virus. “This Thanksgiving, I am giving thanks to everyone for the efforts and sacrifices you are making to plan for a COVID-safe celebration and keep the virus at bay,” said Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, Medical Officer of Health with Public Health Sudbury & Districts. “This is not easy for any of us. Changing traditions is hard as we figure out how to lower risks by going virtual or doing things outdoors; by wearing masks and keeping distance; and by sticking to smaller numbers and just our own households. These are sacrifices for which we all will be thankful in the weeks and months ahead,” added Dr. Sutcliffe. Public Health Sudbury & Districts is reminding everyone that the safest options are to avoid non-essential travel, limit indoor gatherings to your own household, be outdoors or go virtual, practise physical distancing and handwashing, and of course, stay away if you have any symptoms. Travel Anyone who is planning to travel for Long Term Thanksgiving should be Forecast Thursday aware that COVID-19 High 8 is circulating at different Low 1 levels around the Friday province and country. High 9 Local cases have been Low 8 linked to travel within Saturday High 8 Low -2 Sunday High 11 Low 4 Monday High 13 Low 9 Tuesday High 16 Low 4
the province and within Canada. The safest options are to stay in the area of your home community or region, consider non-travel related celebrations, and decide if the purpose of the trip is worth the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. No one wants to be the person who gives COVID-19 to their family or friends. For those who need or choose to travel: ! practise physical distancing ! wear a mask when distancing isn’t possible ! wash your hands frequently ! do not travel if you are sick and get tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19 ! monitor yourself for symptoms when you travel and when you return ! self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in Canada if you have travelled internationally For anyone travelling for the weekend, talk with your family about what you have been doing in the 14 days before travelling. Think about how you can celebrate with loved ones in a way that protects everyone. Gatherings and physical distancing Limiting contacts and in-person interactions reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19. Infectious diseases do not take holidays, but if you choose to gather with others, remember: ! You are strongly advised to stay within your own household for indoor activities such as hosting a dinner. ! Although private gatherings of up to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors are allowed under provincial legislation, non-essential gatherings of any size should be limited and everyone is encouraged to limit close contact to household members only.
! Keep 2 metres distance between people and
wear a face covering if distancing is not possible. ! Avoid crowded places, where physical distancing may be a challenge. Choose to watch sports, events, or movies at home. ! Choose COVID-safe activities such as preparing family recipes to share with others and delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others. As you make your plans for this holiday weekend, assess the risk, and follow the Top-10COVID-Rules-to-Live-By. Ask yourself if it is necessary to gather in-person and if so, determine how you can make the activity safer. “Connecting with friends and loved ones is important and I thank everyone for finding new and creative ways to do so safely,” said Dr. Sutcliffe. “With case numbers rising to create another wave, we cannot let our guard down. The choices we make today, and in the future, will help keep our schools, workplaces, and communities safe,” added Dr. Sutcliffe

Chapleau Moments by
Michael J. Morris George Theriault, in his wonderful book, 'Trespassing in God's Country' tells the reader that most people are happy to spend a day or a week in the bush and then return to their comfortable homes in the city. Mr. Theriault wrote that they would consider spending a cold winter in the bush without the convenience of stores and neighbours. He adds that "in actuality very few people could survive isolated from civilization." Before I go any further, let me admit that I am one of those people about whom he writes even though I was raised and lived in Chapleau on the edge of the bush for many years. The closest I got to the bush was spending time at friend's camps at Mulligans Bay, and at a camp my grandfather Harry Morris built at Healy. Mr. Theriault is writing about trappers who he first met when he worked on the docks at the airplane base in South Porcupine. He met trappers there who would fly supplies from there to their camps, "I soon developed a deep respect for them

George Theriault Flying Trappers in the Chapleau Area because they had cultured a relationship with nature which went beyond the norm". In the fall of 1954, he began flying a few trappers into their trap lines from Chapleau. He flew them into the bush in October. flew them out for Christmas. returned them to their camps in early January . and then flew them out with their furs in early Spring. The first time he flew Emile Bouchard to his trapping grounds on Round Lake they saw seven moose feeding in the river. He started offering moose hunting packages in 1955 and Emile became one of his guides for about 15 years. Jim Cachagee, another trapper who had a camp at Cachagee Lake worked for his air service in the summer months as a carpenter building his outpost camps. He noted that during the war years of 1939-45 no one really trapped. and it really did not get underway again until the 1950s. When he started his business in 1954, there was an abundance of game -- beaver, muskrats and marten Trapping was often a family affair and he flew Doc Potts and his family into their camp at Siwash Lake, John Bain and his family into Swayze Lake and Gilbert Clement and his family in Ridout Lake. The Clement family had been trapping in the Chapleau/Bisco area for generations. His son John when he was 12 spent two weeks with the Clement family one winter. "He had the time of his life learning to snare rabbits and prepare the hides for tanning� Since the 1960s trappers have faced major changes --- the arrival of the snowmobile and decline in demand for some furs. George Theriault died at age 95 in 2015.I extend my thanks to John Theriault for providing
me with a copy of his father' s book. My email is mj.morris@live.ca HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Comparisons won’t change much when it comes to combatting racism REPORT Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the stark reminder that racist individuals can permeate from OTTAWA Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous an institution. That seems to be the case with the Canadian Women. Despite those significant moments, it is Rapport clear we remain more at the beginning of a process military who have been challenged to root out d’Ottawa than anywhere else. These moments act as a extremists in their ranks after three high profile by/par
Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Anyone who watched the American Presidential debate will recognize the importance of the moment that Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacism and white supremacists. To make it even more incredulous, the President then spoke directly to the far-right group, Proud Boys, telling them to, “stand back and stand by”. It was a truly transcendent moment in North American politics. While we can be guilty of portraying ourselves in a flattering manner when making comparisons and distinctions between Canada and America, we should ask ourselves if those exercises are truly helpful in understanding the depth of the problems we need to tackle. When it comes to racism, it’s better to focus on our own challenges. Even then, it’s easy to make the case that Canada is well ahead when it comes to introspection, especially when it comes to the vestiges of colonialism. Over the last 12 years, we have witnessed the Residential Schools apology and gone through two difficult exercises with the
scaffold to build upon and with recent calls to confront institutional racism gaining strength, it is time to pursue better outcomes for Indigenous and racialized populations in Canada. The notion of systemic racism is worth examining. While most focus is placed on police and the justice system, there are many ways in which the system can either be designed to preserve a racial advantage, or harbour those who are racist themselves. The fact that a black person is twenty times more likely to be shot by police in Toronto than their white neighbours speaks to a systemic racism that delivers consistent and unequal outcomes for individuals based on their race. When it comes to systems providing harbour for individuals with racist views, opinions, and actions, that came into sharp view recently as a dying Indigenous woman in a Quebec hospital broadcast the racist statements nurses and others in the hospital freely offered as to why she ended up in her situation. I posted the news story on my social media and am disturbed to learn that people in the riding of Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing have also received discriminatory treatment based on their Indigenous status. While this may not mean that the health care system is racist, it does present a
incidents since 2017, including a reservist investigated as a recruiter for an American based white supremacist group. Chief of Defence Staff, General Jonathan Vance has admitted that there is work to do as did former RCMP Commissioner, Bob Paulson who said in 2015, “I understand there are racists in my police force. I don’t want them to be in my police force.” In Canada, we recently marked Orange Shirt Day to help us remember the history of residential schools. Moments like these allow us to challenge ourselves and look clearly at what state our country is in and where we have to improve. Although it’s difficult to make arguments for people to be more understanding when the underpinning’s of society seem to be coming unglued, that is the only recourse available. It is helpful to remember that although Canada has its share of systemic racism, it doesn’t mean that Canadians are, by default, racist. It does mean that we have to work to remove the vestiges of racism in the system. Once we understand where action is required, we must act or risk unflattering comparisons to others who appear mired in the problem instead of seeking solutions.
Dans la lutte contre le racisme, rien ne sert de se comparer Quiconque a suivi le débat présidentiel américain reconnaîtra l’importance du moment où Donald Trump a refusé de condamner la suprématie blanche et ses tenants. Soulevant encore davantage l’incrédulité, le président s’est adressé directement aux Proud Boys, un groupe d'extrême droite, et leur a demandé « de reculer et de se tenir prêts ». Ce moment charnière marquera la politique nordaméricaine. S’il peut être tentant de brosser un portrait flatteur de notre nation en dressant des comparaisons et des distinctions entre le Canada et les États-Unis, il y a lieu de nous demander si cet exercice nous aide vraiment à saisir l’ampleur des problèmes auxquels nous devons nous attaquer. Au chapitre du racisme, il vaut mieux nous concentrer sur nos propres difficultés. Là encore, il est facile de soutenir que le Canada a une longueur d’avance en matière d’introspection, et particulièrement en ce qui concerne les vestiges du colonialisme. Au cours des 12 dernières années, nous avons été témoins des excuses présentées aux survivants des pensionnats indiens; nous nous sommes également livrés à deux exercices difficiles, l’Enquête sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées et la Commission de vérité et réconciliation. Malgré ces étapes importantes, il est clair que nous n’en sommes encore qu’au début du processus. Ces moments-clés ont donné une assise sur laquelle nous appuyer et, à l’heure où la mobilisation contre le racisme institutionnel prend de l’ampleur, il est temps de
chercher à obtenir de meilleures conditions pour les populations autochtones et racialisées du Canada. La notion de racisme systémique mérite qu’on s’y attarde. Bien que l’attention soit surtout tournée vers les corps policiers et le système judiciaire, l’ensemble du système est, à bien des égards, conçu de manière à perpétuer des avantages raciaux indus ou à protéger les personnes racistes. Le fait qu’une personne noire à Toronto risque vingt fois plus d’être abattue par la police que ses voisins blancs témoigne d’un racisme systémique qui engendre des inégalités constantes entre les individus en fonction de leur race. Pour ce qui est des systèmes qui protègent les individus aux opinions et aux comportements racistes, nous en avons été témoins récemment, lorsqu’une femme autochtone à l’agonie dans un hôpital du Québec a filmé les infirmières et autres employés de l’hôpital qui lui servaient des remarques racistes sans vergogne pour justifier la situation dans laquelle elle se trouvait. Après avoir partagé la nouvelle sur les médias sociaux, j’ai été troublée d’apprendre que des personnes dans la circonscription d'Algoma Manitoulin Kapuskasing avaient subi un traitement discriminatoire en raison de leur statut d’Autochtone. Si cela ne signifie pas nécessairement que le système de santé est raciste, de tels incidents nous rappellent brutalement qu’une institution peut s’imprégner du racisme de certains individus. Cela semble être le cas de l’armée canadienne, qui a été pressée d’expulser les
extrémistes présents dans ses rangs après que trois incidents très médiatisés soient survenus depuis 2017, dont le lancement d’une enquête visant un réserviste qui aurait été recruteur pour un groupe suprémaciste blanc établi aux États-Unis. Le chef d’état-major de la Défense, le général Jonathan Vance, a reconnu qu’il y avait beaucoup à faire, tout comme l’ancien commissaire de la GRC, Bob Paulson, qui a déclaré en 2015 : « Je sais qu’il y a des racistes dans mon service de police. Je ne veux pas d’eux dans mon corps de police ». Au Canada, nous avons récemment souligné la Journée du chandail orange, qui nous rappelle l’histoire des pensionnats. Des moments comme ceux-ci sont l’occasion de nous remettre en question et de constater l’état dans lequel se trouve notre pays ainsi que les aspects à améliorer. Il est certes difficile de convaincre les gens de se montrer plus compréhensifs à l’heure où le tissu de notre société semble se déchirer; toutefois, c’est la seule solution possible. Il convient de rappeler que, si le Canada connaît son lot de racisme systémique, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que les Canadiens sont foncièrement racistes. Cela signifie plutôt que nous devons nous efforcer d’éliminer les vestiges du racisme qui subsistent dans notre système. Dès que nous cernons une lacune, nous devons passer à l’action : sinon, nous risquons d’être comparés, de façon peu flatteuse, à d’autres qui se sont enlisés dans le problème au lieu de chercher des solutions.

Ontario Weather Review: September 2020 Quiet month with normal temperatures and precipitation
Temperatures and Precipitation Following a normal to slightly warm August in Ontario, temperatures in September were slightly below normal to normal. While the majority of Ontario fell in the normal range, areas directly north of Lake Huron and Lake Superior, as well as in the Ottawa region, experienced temperatures below normal by 1 to 2°C. Precipitation in September ranged from 50% to +50% of normal, although normal conditions prevailed for most of the province. Conditions were drier than normal (anomalies of -50 to -10%) in northwestern Ontario and along the lower Great Lakes. Conditions were wetter than normal in northeastern and central Ontario with some anomalies exceeding +50%. Significant Events It was a quiet month, for the most part, across Ontario, but there were a few noteworthy events: September 1-3: Lines of Thunderstorms For three consecutive days, lines of thunderstorms crossed portions of the province. On September 1, southwestern Ontario was the principal recipient of successive lines of thunderstorms, which resulted in significant rainfall in a number of locations, notably London
- which reported 50 mm overnight. On the 2nd, the thunderstorms affected mostly eastern Ontario, and as the line moved over the St. Lawrence River during the evening hours, strong winds caused tree damage and removed the metal siding of an industrial building in Cornwall. On the 3rd, the line crossed northeastern Ontario during the afternoon hours and southern Ontario during the evening. Some damage, mostly from trees but also minor structural damage to a few houses,occurred in Port Colborne, on the shores of Lake Erie. An EF-0 tornado was deemed to be responsible, according to Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP). Some tree damage and siding damage to one roof were also reported much further north, in Washago / Severn Bridge, just north of Orillia. There, an EF-1 tornado was confirmed by the NTP. September 6-7: Major Storm across Northern Ontario Between the afternoon of September 6 and the evening of September 7, a deep lowpressure system roared across northern Ontario causing strong winds and dumped significant rainfall over many regions of the Far North. Winds of up to 75 km/h in Dryden tore the roof off a medical building. Thunderstorms also
crossed Lake Superior, dumping 45 mm of rain in a few hours over Thunder Bay, and then made their way across central and southwestern Ontario during the early morning hours of September 7. Strong winds caused 11,000 hydro customers to lose power and one house in Richmond Hill was damaged by a lightning strike. September 13: Tornado in Laurentian Valley During the afternoon of September 13, radar indicated that a few localized showers crossed the Ottawa River near Pembroke, in the Township of Laurentian Valley. One of them was particularly intense, even without the presence of lightning, and caused damage to about 20 homes along Drive-in Road, mostly from falling trees. The NTP investigated the damage remotely and determined that an E F-0 tornado was responsible. September 30: Tornado in Hamilton It was an unsettled day with showers across southern Ontario. Thunderstorms developed in the afternoon and damage was reported in the Strabane area of Hamilton. A farm outbuilding was destroyed, barn roof was damaged and shifted, trees were snapped and a truck was overturned. The NTP confirmed that an EF1 tornado had occurred with maximum winds of 150 km/h. The preliminary path length was 700 m and the maximum width was 100 m. Outlook for October There are few clear signals with respect to temperature or precipitation anomalies for the month of October, except that the first week is likely to be somewhat wet. One thing is certain: temperatures will continue their gradual descent. Furthermore, snow is likely to make its reappearance, at least across northern parts of the province.
COVID-19 and arthritis: what you need to know (NC) It’s not clear whether having arthritis makes you more susceptible to a coronavirus infection. But much like the seasonal flu, older adults and people with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis may be more likely to get seriously sick if they do become infected. “The main concern isn’t the virus itself, but secondary bacterial infection and other complications that may arise when your body’s defenses are in a weakened state,” explains Trish Barbato, president and CEO of the Arthritis Society. Six million Canadians – about one in five adults – live with arthritis, so the risks of COVID-19 are profound. If you have arthritis,
it’s critical to take precautions now while researchers continue their work on finding a vaccine. Follow the standard precautions of maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask when you cannot do so, and practicing good hygiene. Additionally, it is recommended that you get your vaccinations updated, including seasonal influenza, pneumococcal and pertussis vaccines. These vaccines won’t prevent COVID19, but could lessen secondary infection and will prevent illnesses that could resemble it. Some inflammatory arthritis medications suppress the immune system, which may make
you more vulnerable to infection. But for most people with arthritis in our country, there is no need to stop your medications as the risk of contracting the virus remains low. As always, consult your doctor or rheumatologist about any change in your health or any questions about your medications. Find more information at arthritis.ca.

Experts share their views on province’s flawed return to school plan busing. If the hearing had moved forward, the OLRB would have heard compelling evidence of the provincial government’s lack of protocols to ensure the health and safety of Ontario’s schools, in violation of their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. In her remarks, Dr. Amy Greer, Canada Research Chair in Population Disease Modeling and Associate Professor, Department of Population Medicine at the University of Guelph said, “As a result of the loosening of restrictions on gatherings over the summer months, school reopening in Ontario has coincided with increasing community transmission of COVID-19.

In the aftermath of the disappointing decision by the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) to dismiss, on jurisdictional grounds, the health and safety complaints regarding the re-opening of schools, Ontario’s four major education unions gathered, to make public, information that would have been presented at the hearing. The four unions, Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens (AEFO), the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA), and the
Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF/FEESO), firmly maintain that the OLRB hearing should have proceeded to allow for the presentation of substantive evidence and expert testimony, where the case could have been decided on the merits of the unions’ complaints. The experts that the unions were preparing to bring forward would have presented information based on their professional expertise that supported the need to establish provincial standards on class size and distancing, cohorts for students and teachers, masking, ventilation, and

À l'approche de la fin de semaine de l'Action de grâce, de nombreuses familles attendent impatiemment les célébrations festives. Toutefois, le nombre de cas de COVID-19 est revenu à ce qu'il était au plus fort de la première vague et les hospitalisations augmentent également. Nous ne devons pas baisser la garde.

updated. Dr. Jeffrey Siegel, Professor, Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto added, “The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to ensure that our school spaces are as safe as possible for students and staff. Filtration and ventilation are an important component of an overall risk mitigation strategy. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Schools Reopening documents provide an internationally recognized evidence-based approach that should be applied to all Ontario schools.” In his comments, Dr. David Fisman, Epidemiologist at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the U n i v e r s i t y o f To r o n t o , a n d Consultant in Infectious Diseases at the University Health Network said, "We all want to see back-to-school succeed in Ontario. That's why masking and reduced class sizes are so important for the protection of child health, the health of teachers and staff and the health of our wider communities." Despite the setback at the OLRB, the four education unions will continue to demand that the Ontario Ministry of Education, Ontario Ministry of Labour and the Ford government do everything they can to make schools as safe as possible, especially as we see cases of COVID-19 surging in our communities. Our students, educators, and their families deserve nothing less.

Missanabie Cree First Nation and Canada celebrate historic claim settlement related to reserve land promised under Treaty No. 9 As Canada continues its journey of reconciliation and renewal with First Nations, we need to confront our history and work together in partnership to find shared solutions that address the wrongs of the past and help build a better, more inclusive future for everyone in Canada. Today, Chief Jason Gauthier and the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations announced that the Missanabie Cree First Nation and the Government of Canada have taken a major step forward on the path of reconciliation and renewal by concluding a negotiated settlement to address a past wrong that dates back over 110 years. Achieved through partnership and dialogue, the settlement resolves the First Nation's longstanding Treaty Land Entitlement Claim. The claim relates to the reserve land the First Nation was promised under Treaty No. 9 and should have received over 110 years ago. When the First Nation adhered to the treaty in 1906, they were promised reserve land for their people, but did not receive a reserve land base until 2018. The settlement Canada and the First Nation have now concluded honours this outstanding treaty obligation and helps right this past wrong. The settlement provided the First Nation with approximately $150 million in financial compensation and the ability to add up to 3,200 acres to their reserve land base. It marks a new beginning for the Missanabie Cree First Nation,
creating new opportunities for the First Nation to invest in community and economic development for the future benefit of its community. "I acknowledge all the hard work from past and present chiefs and councils to make this happen, it is a testament to a lot of hard work and perseverance. Maurice Law and Ron Maurice have been such a significant part of making this happen. Our elders, Youth and ancestors also played an important role in achieving a settlement. Thank you to all involved." said Chief Jason Gauthier,Missanabie Cree First Nation "Today we are demonstrating what can be achieved through partnership and dialogue. This settlement honours an outstanding treaty obligation to the Missanabie Cree First Nation, helping to right past wrongs and creating new opportunities for the community. Together, we are taking a historic step along the road to reconciliation to renew our nation-to-nation relationship and build a better future based on a true spirit of respect and partnership.” The Honourable Carolyn Bennett, M.D., P.C., M.P. ,Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations "Congratulations to Chief Gauthier & Council for their hard work and to the beginnings of a new chapter. I want to recognize that this success comes from decades of work on behalf of Chief Gauthier, previous Chiefs and members of the Missanabie Cree First Nation community. This is an important step towards a renewed relationship based on the recognition of rights,
truth and reconciliation and a renewed partnership. Most importantly, it creates new opportunities future generations of the community will be able to explore. I look forward to continuing to work together with Chief Gauthier, Council and all members of the community." said Terry Sheehan, M.P., Member of Parliament, Sault Ste. Marie First Nation members approved the settlement in a community vote, with 99 per cent of those who voted voting in favour. The settlement was signed by the First Nation on August 13, 2019 and by Canada on April 24, 2020. This complements an earlier process completed in June of 2018 which resulted in the creation of the Missanabie Cree First Nation reserve. Under the settlement announced today, the First Nation can buy up to 3,200 acres of land on the open market and start the reserve creation process. Private property is not taken away from anyone to settle land claims. A number of steps must be completed before land is designated as reserve land, including consultation with other Indigenous groups and municipalities. Negotiated settlements honour outstanding treaty obligations, renew relationships and advance reconciliation for the benefit of all Canadians.

Ontario Implementing Additional Public Health and Testing Measures to Keep People Safe Difficult, but Necessary Decisions to Prevent and Stop the Spread of COVID-19 In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, local medical officers of health and public health experts, the Ontario government is tightening public health measures. At the same time, in response to the second wave of COVID-19 and in preparation for the cold winter months, the government is taking action to reduce testing turnaround times while prioritizing those who are at the greatest risk. The announcement was made by Premier Doug Ford, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Dirk Huyer, Coordinator of the Provincial Outbreak Response, and Matthew Anderson, President and CEO of Ontario Health. "The modeling we released this week demonstrates the absolute necessity to take action now to reverse current trends and protect our hospital capacity," said Premier Ford. "With the weather changing and more people moving indoors, the decision to introduce new restrictions on restaurants, gyms and other businesses was difficult. However, we will do whatever is necessary, acting on the advice of our public health experts, to turn the tide on this second wave and keep everyone safe." New Measures for Testing The government is taking additional steps to respond to the second wave of COVID-19 and prevent and stop the spread of the virus, while safely keeping schools and businesses open. These include: Transitioning to appointment-based testing at Ontario assessment centres beginning Tuesday, October 6, 2020, providing certainty to patients as to when they can receive a test during the cold winter months and allowing assessment centres to conduct enhanced screening to ensure adherence to the guidelines released on September 24, 2020; Beginning on Sunday, October 4, 2020, assessment centres will discontinue walk-in testing services, so the province's lab network can make significant progress in processing tests and to allow assessment centres the necessary time to reset, deep clean and ensure preparedness for the new appointment-based model; Continuing mobile testing and pop-up testing centres to reach vulnerable populations and provide targeted testing for long-term care, congregate care, and other vulnerable populations; Expanding the number of pharmacies where people with no symptoms within provincial testing guidance can get tested; and Implementing updated testing guidance for children to help parents determine when it is most appropriate for students, children and their
families to seek a test for COVID-19. Ontario is also taking longer-term actions to increase the province's test processing capacity so people can get their results faster, including: Increasing testing and processing capacity to 50,000 tests per day by mid-October and 68,000 tests per day by mid-November; and Introducing new testing methods once they are approved by Health Canada, including point of care testing and antigen testing. New Public Health Measures As the number of new cases continues to rise, the province is taking decisive action to prevent and stop the spread of the virus and avoid future lockdowns. These new restrictions were adopted through the amended order O. Reg 364/20 (Rules for Areas in Stage 3 under the Reopening Ontario [A Flexible Response to COVID-19] Act, 2020). They include mandating the use of face coverings in all public indoor settings across the province, such as businesses, facilities and workplaces, with limited exemptions, including corrections and developmental services. Targeted measures will also be implemented in Ottawa, Peel, and Toronto as a result of their higher than average rates of transmission. These include: Setting an indoor capacity limit to restrict occupancy at restaurants, bars and other food and drink establishments (including nightclubs) to the number of patrons who can maintain a physical distance of at least two metres from every other patron, to a maximum of 100 patrons, permitting no more than six patrons per table, requiring operators to ensure patrons lining up or congregating outside of their establishment maintain physical distancing, and mandating that the name and contact information for each patron be collected; Restricting group exercise classes at gyms and other fitness settings to 10 individuals, as well as restricting the total number of people allowed at these facilities to a maximum of 50; and Setting a limit on the number of people allowed at meeting and event facilities, including banquet halls, to six people per table and 50 people per facility. "With Ontario's recent alarming growth in the number of COVID-19 cases, our government is taking further action to help stop the spread of the virus and avoid future lockdowns," said Minister Elliott. "These are difficult, but necessary decisions that are being made to keep people safe, especially our seniors and vulnerable citizens. Everyone must follow the public health guidelines if we are going to stop the spread and contain the second wave."
This amended order will come into effect on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. In addition, the government is: Extending the pause on any further reopening of businesses, facilities, and organizations for an additional 28 days, unless already permitted to open under O. Reg 364/20; Pausing social circles and advising that all Ontarians allow close contact only with people living in their own household and maintain two metres physical distancing from everyone else. Individuals who live alone may consider having close contact with another household; and Finalizing additional guidance for seniors (70 and over) on how to minimize their risk of acquiring COVID-19, including for upcoming annual gatherings such as Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day. The Chief Medical Officer of Health and other public health experts continue to closely monitor the evolving situation across the province to advise if and when public health measures or restrictions should be adjusted or tightened. It remains critically important for everyone to continue following public health advice, including everyday actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as practising physical distancing with those outside your household; wearing a face covering when physical distancing is a challenge or where it is mandatory to do so; washing your hands frequently and thoroughly; and following gathering limits and rules. For additional protection, the Ontario government is encouraging everyone to download the new COVID Alert app on their smart phone from the Apple and Google Play app stores.

When things are not exactly going the way I hope, invariably someone, with the best of intentions of course, comes along, sounding just like Sister Maria von Trap from the Sound of Music, and says something like, “Remember, every cloud has a silver lining.” When someone says something like that to me, when things are going wrong, I find myself muttering silently, “Give me strength.” Now, in the light of day and when things are calm, I have to admit that there actually is some truth to this idiom. It may interest readers to know that it is thought that this idiom was derived by the words of the author John Milton back in 1634 when he wrote, “Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud turn forth her silver lining on the night?” The meaning of the idiom is clear enough, that sometimes good things can happen as a result of something bad. For politicians, one of the best examples of this came about as a result of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Records show that during the depression in America, about 1,200 cities and counties actually went bankrupt. In major cities, the unemployment rate reached 50 percent. After enduring three worsening years of economic disaster in the USA, voters turned the keys to the White House over to Franklin Deleno Roosevelt – often referred to as FDR. It was Roosevelt who developed what was to be called “The New Deal” that helped to breathe life and prosperity back into America's dying economy. The thing that made the New Deal work is that it was not just some kind of bailout. It was not just a cash payout to help make ends meet until things
CHAPLEAU EXPRESS, October 8, 2020 - Page 9 improved on their own. Rather the New Deal was have historically shouldered more unpaid carea total change in policy development which was giving responsibilities. The Save Main Street plan based on long-term implementation with a totally will make this happen. The NDP's plan includes more forward looking different path leading to growth. The NDP vowed when we began the last polices which include a ban on all commercial session of the Legislature that we were not going evictions, a 75 per cent commercial rent subsidy, to just oppose the government but also propose sick days for all, a fund to help businesses with new, forward looking ideas. That's just what the safe-reopening costs or remote-work set-up costs, Save Main Street plan is. We believe it's all about more non-profit and public child care spaces for making the kind of choices that will most benefit working parents, and an end to insurance gouging and insurance denials. the people of this province. So, even though it might be hard to Doug Ford always chooses to spend on big businesses, while cutting and shortchanging believe, maybe it is true that every cloud has its the things working folks, families and small-and silver lining – or at least has the potential for us to medium-sized enterprises rely on. His second find one. FDR shared his vision of a silver lining wave plan is a last moment Hail Mary that is by implementing policies, vastly different from incomplete, weeks late and clearly not working. the former administration, in the form of the New Andrea Horwath said, “The Ford government is Deal for America. He used the framework of the doing the bare minimum with a priority of saving economic crisis to get the American people back a buck for a rainy day. He has $6.7 billion from the on their feet. In the same way, as Ontario stares federal government at his disposal that is meant to down this second wave of the COVID-19 get Ontario going again. Yet he has only spent 0.1 pandemic, the New Democrats are proposing a vastly different route than the one Doug Ford has percent – not even 1 percent – of it on recovery.” In contrast, the NDP believes that by mapped out for us. Ford's advice seems to simply investing in working people, we can make sure tell us all to hang on as best we can and hope you Ontarians don't just stay afloat through the second make it out. The Save Main Street plan will lead to wave, but rather come out of this pandemic growth, prosperity and confidence that can lead healthier and more prosperous, and ready to the way for generations to come. For more information or details about the power the economy forward. It is a plan that puts small business first because it is the small Save Main Street plan, go to my website, businesses that Ontarians support. Small michaelmantha.com/save-main-street. Clearly the pandemic is a terrible situation businesses are in every community across the province and in the very neighbourhoods we live for the entire world. But here in Canada and in in, right where our friends, neighbours and family Ontario, we must look at this also as a unique window of opportunity to change direction. I have work to put food on their tables. The NDP's Save Main Street plan will always maintained the greatest resource here in help get Ontario business and our families back Northern Ontario is not our pristine lakes, our on their feet with money that they earn in their forests or our precious metals and minerals. Our pockets rather than just envelopes of bailout greatest resource is our people. I truly believe funding. This will keep business open, paying Northern Ontarians are up for this challenge. As always, please feel free to contact my rent, wages and taxes that stay in our communities ensuring confidence and growth.

Here in the North, one in four businesses is tourism related, and 40 percent of the workforce is connected to tourism. For Northerners, any recovery plans being considered by the government must not shortchange the hardworking families who own these businesses. The NDP's plan includes a focused effort on the she-covery. Women, especially moms, have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Their jobs were the first to go and have been the last to return. We also know that between childcare and supporting elderly parents, women

Repensez votre retraite en fonction de la pandémie
(EN) Si vous avez pris votre retraite ou que vous êtes sur le point de le faire, vous vous demandez peut-être comment gérer vos placements – et vous n’êtes pas la seule personne à vous questionner. Allez-vous les conserver ou en liquider une partie? Aurez-vous assez d’argent pour toute votre retraite, malgré d’éventuels épisodes de volatilité boursière? «Les périodes d’incertitude économique suscitent souvent des questions comme celles-là », explique Rick Lowes, vice-président, Stratégie de retraite à RBC. «Pour protéger votre
portefeuille contre des conséquences négatives, il est important de prendre du recul et de revoir les objectifs de votre plan financier.» Vous n’avez encore pas de plan? Ne vous en faites pas. La première étape consiste à rencontrer un conseiller en qui vous avez confiance. Dites-lui ce qui compte le plus pour vous et ce que vous pensiez faire pendant vos vieux jours. Vous pourrez ainsi déterminer le montant dont vous aurez réellement besoin pendant toute la durée de votre retraite. Une stratégie courante pour gérer les incertitudes consiste à utiliser des «portefeuilles à paniers», ajoute M. Lowes. «En répartissant vos placements dans trois paniers, avec des horizons de placement différents, vous obtenez une protection à court terme contre les fluctuations des marchés, des revenus à moyen terme et une croissance à long terme pour pérenniser votre patrimoine.» Voici ce que pourrait contenir chacun de ces paniers: Panier à court terme: Épargne et
placements à court terme, comme les certificats de placement garanti (CPG) et les fonds du marché monétaire qui arrivent à échéance dans un horizon de un an à cinq ans. Ce type d’actif procure les revenus stables et prévisibles dont vous aurez besoin pour répondre à vos besoins fondamentaux immédiats et soutenir votre rythme de vie à la retraite. Panier à moyen terme: Placements générateurs de revenus qui arrivent à échéance dans un horizon de six à dix ans, par exemple des fonds communs de placement à revenu fixe ou des actions qui versent des bénéfices ou des dividendes. Vous pouvez utiliser ce panier pour compléter le panier à court terme ou pour régler des dépenses imprévues. Panier à long terme: Placements à risque potentiellement élevé, comme les actions orientées vers la croissance dont l’échéance est fixée à plus de dix ans. Ce délai permettra à vos actifs de se remettre des épisodes de volatilité. Faites appel à un conseiller pour découvrir vos options et savoir si la stratégie des paniers vous procurera les revenus nécessaires pour profiter pleinement de votre retraite, peu importe la tenue des marchés.

avoir du mal à joindre les deux bouts. Il y a tout de même des choses que vous pouvez faire pour gérer vos finances et vous faciliter la vie, à vous et à votre famille. Voici trois stratégies utiles pour y arriver. Établissez un budget. Un budget est essentiel dans toutes les circonstances, surtout quand vous essayez de gérer vos finances pendant une situation d’urgence. Il vous aidera à évaluer si vous êtes en mesure de continuer à payer vos factures et de maintenir votre niveau de vie actuel. Si vous avez besoin d’aide, le planificateur budgétaire de l’Agence de la consommation en matière financière du Canada constitue une très bonne ressource. Soyez proactif et demandez de l’aide. Si vous avez du mal à payer vos dépenses courantes ou si vous prévoyez avoir des difficultés financières dans l’avenir, soyez proactif en demandant de l’aide. Commencez par communiquer avec votre institution financière. Discutez de votre situation avec votre conseiller. Celui-ci pourrait être en mesure de reporter vos paiements sur certains de vos produits de crédit comme votre hypothèque. Un professionnel des finances, comme un conseiller financier autorisé ou un conseiller en crédit accrédité, peut également
vous aider à établir un plan pour gérer une situation d’urgence. Soyez responsable face au crédit. Pendant une période d’incertitude, essayez le plus possible d’éviter d’emprunter plus d’argent. Si vous devez le faire, empruntez seulement ce dont vous avez besoin et cherchez des produits qui ont des taux d’intérêt et des frais faibles. Comparez toutes vos options et les frais, les taux d’intérêt et les conditions de remboursement qui y sont associés avant de choisir un produit de crédit. Apprenez-en davantage sur la façon de maintenir une bonne santé financière durant une période difficile à canada.ca/argent.
