Excuse the mess City working to 'minimize the blight' of LRT work for Canada Day bash
BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Michelle Nash Baker/Metroland
New and improved construction hoarding will diminish the look of light-rail construction sites that dot many main streets in downtown Ottawa for Canada Day festivities, which are expected to draw bigger crowds in the country’s sesquicentennial year.
With about a month to go before Canada Day festivities get underway in downtown Ottawa, the city’s core is still pockmarked with light-rail construction sites. “I would have loved to have had all of that work done before 2017,” Mayor Jim Watson told reporters on May 31, the day before the one-month countdown to the nation’s birthday, which is expected to draw record crowds to Ottawa's downtown as the country marks the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Several streets are a patchwork of construction, including sections of Rideau, Nicholas, Laurier and Wellington. But Watson pointed the finger at a previous council that cancelled a light-rail project, setting back its development by four years. “But we can’t turn back the hands of time,” he said. The plan now is to install better
hoarding, or construction boards, around the construction sites “and minimize the blight, if you will, on the streetscape,” said Watson. The plan also includes minimizing the sight of equipment as much as possible, though some will remain in place on July 1. “I don’t want to sugar-coat it,” he said. “We’ll do our best. It’s not the perfect situation obviously, but I think most people understand that this is a project that is important to the city and we’ll impress residents and visitors alike when they come to the downtown on July 1.” See CONSTRUCTION, page 2

2017 Ontario Budget A stronger, healthier Ontario Ontario’s 2017 Budget includes significant investments in health care and education in order to support families and improve the services people rely on most. It is also a balanced budget – the first since the global recession. Thanks to the hard work of the people of Ontario, our economy is strong and unemployment is at a ten year low. Ontario is leading all of Canada and the G7 in economic growth. We committed to balancing the budget this year and by delivering on that commitment, we are able to invest more in health care and education and make life more affordable for everyone across the province. With the new OHIP+: Children and Youth Pharmacare program, Ontario will be the first province in Canada to offer free drug coverage for more than 4,400 medications, for children and youth under the age of 24, beginning in January 2018. OHIP+ represents the biggest expansion of Medicare in Ontario over the course of a generation and a major leap towards universal drug coverage for people in the province. That commitment is part of $11.5 billion more dollars that will be invested in our health care system over the next three years. We’re investing to reduce wait times and improve access to care. For the hospitals of our riding, it means additional resources for their operating funding. Montfort Hospital will get $3.1 M more for 2017-18 and Bruyère Continuing Care will receive $1.8 M. Our public education system is renowned for its innovative approach to learning, including full day kindergarten, small class sizes and healthy schools. We’re investing an additional $6.4 billion over three years to continue to build a strong education system that sets students up for success. When students graduate high school, they will have even greater financial support heading to post-secondary education, with 210,000 students receiving free tuition beginning this fall. Ontario’s debt grew during the recession, when our government committed to maintaining the services that people depend on. Since then, we have made a deliberate choice to manage debt responsibly, paying off our deficit while making historic investments in infrastructure. Now, with a balanced budget, the government no longer needs to borrow to pay for its operating costs and our capital investments are spurring economic growth and improving quality of life for people today and future generations. Our government is building a stronger, healthier Ontario because that’s what hardworking families deserve. Nathalie Des Rosiers, MPP for Ottawa-Vanier

RIGHT: Cranes and scaffolding at Parliament Hill’s West Block, which is currently being rehabilitated is just one of the multiple construction projects taking place downtown. Mayor Jim Watson said he’s not worried about the construction, as he believes visitors will focus on the Centre Block, not the West Block on Canada Day.
Construction a sign of progress: Ottawa mayor Continued from page 1
And, the rest of the city “is in great shape,” including Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market, he noted. However, there are cranes and scaffolding at the complex's West Block, which is being rehabilitated. “I think people understand
when they see cranes, it is a sign of progress, but there will be a much better look to the downtown core in 2018 when LRT construction (comes to an end for Stage 1),” said Watson, though he acknowledged the work currently being done at the Hill. “In fairness, the look people
get is the Centre Block and the cranes are on the West Block and at the back of Centre Block,” he insisted. The City of Ottawa has “worked out a deal” with the federal government to have a Canada 150 logo featured on a wrapper covering the Four Corners building, at Sparks and
Metcalfe streets, as well as on the historic Central Post Office building on Sparks. Watson said the city is also working with the feds to have a similar look for Centre Block, which is set to undergo a decadelong interior and exterior heritage renovation, beginning in 2018.

Proposed bilingual bill could open up Ottawa to lawsuits: Mayor Bill would recognize Ottawa's 'bilingual character': Des Rosiers BY Erin McCracken and Michelle Nash Baker erin.mccracken@metroland.com
An Ottawa MPP’s attempt to shore up city’s bilingual character with new provincial legislation could have costly legal ramifications, according to Ottawa’s mayor. “At the end of the day, any time any piece of legislation is presented and adopted, you never know what the consequences are in terms of people wanting to take court action,” Mayor Jim Watson said hours after Ottawa-Vanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers introduced a private member’s bill at Queen’s Park on May 31 to make Ottawa’s current bilingualism bylaw and language policy provincial law. “The fear is if there was ever legislation that was brought in that would basically determine a level of service that we just didn’t have,” he said, citing an example in which an Ottawa couple could not order a 7Up in French on an Air Canada flight. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. “The last thing we need are a bunch of lawsuits that will cost taxpayers a lot of money,” Watson said. Des Rosiers said there is no difference between her private member's bill and the city’s current bylaw, only that she believes her bill will make bilingualism in Ottawa official. “Essentially, I used the terms of the bylaw and the bilingual policy,” she said, adding that this bill is essentially a symbolic gesture to ensure the original framework of the city’s bylaw reflects the current reality on the
ground. The legislation would recognize Ottawa’s “special character,” she said in a statement. Des Rosiers said she reached out to the Bilingual Ottawa project and the city to hear what their concerns were before drafting the bill, and looked at previous propositions that were made. “I did my legal homework and tried to find words that capture what is important,” she said, adding this is a conversation she will continue to have with Ottawa residents, as the bill goes through its first to third readings. The former lawyer said she is willing to discuss it with people who may have suggestions to amend or add to the bill, but that she thinks in the end the bill reflects the current reality in the city and she simply wanted to make sure that it was official. In response, Watson has echoed a stance he took last September on the bilingualism debate after advocates with the Bilingual Ottawa project proposed
changes to the city’s bilingual policy to make the municipality officially bilingual. The quest to ensure future city councils respect the current level of bilingualism came on the heels of a survey, sponsored by the Montfort Hospital, La Cité collegial and two Frenchlanguage school boards. It revealed 54 per cent of the 750 polled (most of them Anglophones) were in favour of the idea. Another 13 per cent showed some level of support. However, at that time Watson expressed satisfaction with what he said was the city’s “exceptional” level of bilingual services. He also noted then the importance of ensuring bilingual city staff are stationed strategically based on demographics, though residents can be served in the language of their choice no matter which ward they call home. When reviewed by the city’s legal department, Des Rosiers’ proposed legislation states the obvious: that the city has a language bill and it must be followed, said Watson, who also

The legislation states in it that the city bylaw is supreme,” he said. “The passage of the bill will not change things..” He acknowledged the city’s language policy and its 2001-enacted bylaw are not at the same level of the federal government, but said they still serve the com-
munity well. Residents can be served in French and English, city publications are bilingual, and council meetings feature bilingual interpretation. Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said Ottawa is already bilingual, adding this could come with a financial cost, as well. But Des Rosiers said this isn’t the case. “The bill amends the City of Ottawa Act to provide a recognition of its 'bilingual character,’
the words currently used by the bylaw,” she said. Likewise, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said the bill comes down to optics and serves no purpose. “If all we’re going to do is symbolism, why are we here?” Moffatt said. “Symbolic gestures do nothing for anyone. It achieves nothing.” In fact, the legislation, if passed, could open the door to more stringent rules and possibly mean all city jobs will require bilingualism, Darouze said. “Who knows what are the implications that will be put on the next generation,” Darouze said. “It opens a can of worms.” As well, Watson said a city report released the same day Des Rosiers’ bill was introduced revealed “a dramatic decrease” in the number of complaints the city received in 2016 about its French language services. There were 23 complaints that year, down from 83 the year before. “We get more complaints about raccoons,” said Moffatt. - With files from Jennifer McIntosh

New legislation slows down traffic Ottawa Centre MPP excited act now in effect BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Walking and biking in your community might become a little more safe, as Ontario passed new legislation to slow traffic down in school and community zones. The government passed the Safer School Zones Act on May 30, giving municipalities like Ottawa more tools to fight speeding cars and dangerous driving. According to the Ministry of Transportation, those tools include: • Automated speed enforcement (ASE) technology, which can help catch speeders. • The option for municipalities to use this technology in school zones and community safety zones on roads with speed limits below 80 kilometres per hour. • The ability to create zones with reduced speed limits to decrease the frequency and severity of pedestrian-vehicle collisions in urban areas. • A streamlined process for municipalities to participate in Ontario's effective Red Light Camera program without the need for lengthy regulatory approval. The push to slow down traffic was one that Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi promised to change during his 2014 campaign. Naqvi said this new legislation would allow municipalities to implement road safety measures in a way that makes sense in local communities. According to a press release from Naqvi, he credits the work with local community advocates that helped pass the legislation. Naqvi said he was excited to share the news that the legislation is now in effect. “I am very proud of our com-
munity’s effective advocacy to lower speed limits on Ottawa’s residential streets and in our school zones,” Naqvi said. “Thanks to their hard work, this legislation is an important step in creating safe roadways to use and enjoy, for the most vulnerable in our neighbourhoods.” Prior to having this type of legislation, the Hintonburg Community Association had to spearhead a campaign to lower speed limits throughout neighbourhoods from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. The group spent 13 months going door-to-door to get signatures to support the change. “This last year of pounding the

pavement has finally paid off,” said Dickson Davidson, who heads the association’s traffic committee. “I can’t wait to see these 40 km/h signs go up and the speed of vehicles on residential streets go down.” In total, the signature drive resulted in 1,286 residences supporting the change. A process is currently underway with the city that will slow traffic down. “Canvassing close to 2,000 residences door-to-door is no small task, yet Dickson and his crew managed to deliver,” added James Valcke, the association’s president. The ministry said these new tools would help make communities safer for all vulnerable road users.

The look on Jamie-Lee Eberts’ face is one of deep love and concern for her tiny daughter, who was born at 23 weeks and four days — a little more than halfway into the pregnancy. Even early on in her eight-day labour, Eberts and her husband, Tim, wrestled with life-and-death decisions about their twins. They were born 115 days early, on Jan. 29, at the Ottawa Hospital General campus, home to a highly-specialized neonatal intensive care unit. “Every hour mattered,” Eberts said. Single babies born at that point face a 50 per cent risk of dying, and a 40 per cent risk of developing chronic lung disease. But there are no survival statistics for twins born at 22 weeks Eberts’ babies weren’t due until May 24. Olivia weighed just 500 grams at birth; while her brother, Liam, was 650 grams. Still, he was the sicker baby and passed away three weeks later. “Olivia lost a twin. Jacob lost a brother and we lost a son,” said Eberts, who is also mom to 17-month-old Jacob. “And we lost a dream. In your mind you dream of what it’s going to be like to have this beautiful family of three.” In that time, Olivia has remained in hospital and undergone a series of procedures and tests. As micro preemies, the twins’ lungs had not yet fully formed, causing chronic lung disease, and they required oxygen for an extended period — both of which cause severe problems. “She’s at high risk of being blind, of being deaf, of respiratory issues,” Eberts said, adding she could also develop cerebral palsy. “Only time will tell. I am

Old Ottawa East resident Jamie-Lee Eberts holds her daughter, Olivia, who has been in the Ottawa Hospital General campus’ neonatal intensive care unit since her birth in January. A new stem cell treatment is in development at the hospital, which has the potential to heal the damaged lungs of premature babies, like Olivia. so grateful she is here, but this is very hard.” But promising research being conducted in the same hospital is giving her a glimmer of hope that a clinical trial coming in two years could mean a brighter future for Olivia. “This could have saved Liam’s life; and for Olivia this is a lifetime battle for her,” said Eberts, an Old Ottawa East resident. “Her respiratory issues are something that’s not going away when we leave here. It is something that could be a concern for the rest of her life.” Health care advancements mean babies are being born as young as 22 weeks into pregnancy, about half way to full term, which is usually 37 to 41 weeks.
“But 22 weeks is a major, major challenge,” said Dr. Bernard Thébaud, a neonatologist and clinical scientist at the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO. He is also a professor at the University of Ottawa. “They are very fragile. And we have made the task of protecting the lungs of these babies more difficult because we keep improving survival of more and more immature babies,” he said. “And there comes a point where we hit a wall.” That wall is bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a type of chronic lung disease. The lungs of babies are the last organs to form in utero. Forty per cent of babies born at less than 28 weeks have this disease, equivalent to 1,000 in Can-
ada every year, 10,000 in the U.S. and 750,000 worldwide. After birth, these babies need help breathing, but the combination of mechanical ventilation and oxygen damages the lungs and inhibits their growth, and impacts brain development and eyesight, among a host of other severe problems. Thébaud and his team, the only one doing this type of research in Canada, are now working to develop a clinical trial involving a stem cell treatment that has already shown promise in the lab, repairing the damaged lungs of newborn rodents. Their research over the past seven years has revealed that an infusion of mesenchymal stem cells — powerful anti-inflammatory cells taken from umbilical cord blood — have restored lung growth, decreased inflammation and promoted blood vessel growth. The research team originally thought these would replace the dead lung cells. But these stem cells actually talked to the sick cells, rejuvenated them and gave them a second life. They also talked to other cells connected to the lung inflammation, which then spit out other factors that promoted healing. Within a week, the mesenchymal cells had vanished from the body — a good thing since they can multiply and form tumours if they remain. “In the body, they act like mini pharmacies,” Thébaud said. “They go in, they see what kind of mess there is in the lung and then they start repairing it, spitting out the healing factors, and then they leave.” The cells also may have the potential to target other damaged organs, such as the brain and kidneys. “We think that if we treat the lung, we will at the same time treat the brain and maybe other organs, too,” Thébaud said. “No one has ever looked at the brain stem cells in these kids or (in) the animal models.”
He and his team were recently awarded a $500,000 peer-reviewed research grant from the Ontario Institute for Regenerative Medicine, to prepare a clinical trial that could get underway in the next two years with 10 to 15 preemie patients. If successful, a second-phase of the trial could begin a year later with 60 patients, and a third phase launched in subsequent years could include other countries with 400 to 500 patients. The sooner, the better, according to Thébaud. The incidence rate of babies in Canada born with bronchopulmonary dysplasia over the past decade has increased by 10 per cent. “We have made zero progress in the past 10 years (treating this disease), so it means that we have hit the wall,” he said. “So now if we really want to make a difference, something spectacular has to happen. “We think these stem cells could be that game-changer.” The mesenchymal cells have the potential to become the most significant advancement made in neonatology since the discovery in the 1950s of surfactant, used to prevent a respiratory syndrome in pre-term babies. There are potential risks with the treatment, such as the development of tumours or an exaggerated cellular reaction to lung inflammation, known as a cytokine storm. But to Eberts, it’s the status quo that is unacceptable. For that reason, she is hopeful Olivia could benefit from the future trial, even when she is older. “It is bittersweet because, of course, I want to sign up. I wish that both my children were here,” she said. “And could it have helped Liam? Could it have saved his life? “Then Olivia would have her twin and Jacob would have his brother and we would have our son, and we would have our dream.”

Aviation museum names theatre after former MP BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Mauril Belanger’s legacy lives on at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The museum unveiled the new name for its theatre, Mauril Belanger Theatre, renaming it after the former Ottawa-Vanier MP at a ceremony and reception on May 29. The move was to recognize Belanger’s ongoing support for the museum. “The plaque we are unveiling, and the renaming of this theatre, will be tangible and lasting affirmations of Mauril’s (Belanger’s) efforts and successes in his role as a staunch supporter of the Canada Aviation and Space
Museum, for the benefit of all Canadians,” said Fernand Proulx, interim president of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation. During Belanger’s time in office, he helped the museum secure funding to build the reserve hanger. The ceremony and reception welcomed a number of Belanger’s family, friends and former colleagues. His wife, Catherine Belanger said she was grateful for the recognition of her husband’s contributions to the museum. “He has been one of the Museum’s biggest fans and an ardent supporter of its staff, vision, and raison d'être,” Catherine said. This is not the only
place that has honoured the former MP. On May 19 the French public school board renamed their Vanier school, Le Trillium School, to Ecole Elementaire Publique Mauril Belanger. The school made the name change to highlight the fact that Belanger was always available and helpful in the community. The museum is Canada’s national museum of aviation and space and houses the most extensive collection of aircraft and space exploration artifacts in the country. Located at an active airport, the museum offers vintage aircraft and helicopter rides during the summer and simulator rides all year long.
“That was way to easy!”
Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation/Submitted
The theatre at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum will be named the “Mauril Bélanger Theatre” in recognition former Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Bélanger who died in August 2016 at a ceremony on May 29.

A trillium by any other name
C
hanging parties in politics usually does not work out too well. There are a few exceptions, such as former Liberal MP and NDP provincial premier Bob Rae, but normally switching parties as an elected politician is a prescription for defeat and political oblivion in the ensuing election. So, it will be interesting to follow the happenings in the new Kanata-Carleton provincial riding in next year’s election and see if former Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren, now a member of the new Trillium Party, will be re-elected or not. His participation in the election for the Trillium Party should have an impact on the PC vote in the riding. Whether he will be re-elected, just split the Tory vote, or have minimal impact remains to be seen. The new Kanata-Carleton riding is more urban than the existing Carleton-Mississippi Mills and this may reduce conservative strength somewhat, with or without MacLaren’s ejection from the PC caucus and his switch to the ultra-conservative Trillium Party. The Liberals may seize this opportunity of discord among conservative forces to run a strong candidate who
might just sneak into office thanks to a vote split in the right-of-centre ranks. Some insight might be found from the name of MacLaren’s new party affiliation, the Trillium Party. Trilliums — specifically, white trilliums — have been the official flower for Ontario since 1937. If grown from seed, it takes a trillium up to two years just for the seed to germinate and then takes another five to seven years for the plant to bloom. In other words, it is a long process and very similar, we would suggest, to the future of the new party. If the Trillium Party were to “germinate” in two years and were to “bloom” in only five to seven years, we would rank that as an amazing political story. It is also known that if the leaves and flower of a trillium are picked, the plant will die as it will lack any means to produce the energy needed to survive the cold blasts of winter. If MacLaren fails to win for the Trillium Party in the upcoming election, the party may die just like a picked trillium, lacking the means to produce the energy needed to survive the blasts of the political weather in this province. MacLaren’s decision to switch parties is a story that promises an interesting ending come election season.
Canada’s birthday plans big on show, not substance
L
ast week I was leaving a Blue Jays game in Toronto. The home town had won and everyone was happy — except for the homeless men whom we encountered at intervals, sitting on the pavement with their empty paper cups in front of them, hoping for the best. It’s not a perfect metaphor, but something about the scene made me think of our upcoming 150th birthday celebrations. There is going to be a considerable amount of noise, a few royals around, cheery speeches — but not much of that energy is being harnessed to improve the lives of people who need help. This may be why I detect a distinct lack of enthusiasm about the whole thing. Politicians and officials are smiling away and making pronouncements about how great it’s going to be. But ordinary people are yawning,
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town just wanting to get on with summer. And some of them, like me, wonder if that sesquicentennial money could be better spent. Locally, it will be nice to see the National Arts Centre unveil its new look and the new Canadian history hall at the Museum of History. But those probably would have happened without the sesquicentennial. Otherwise, Canada Day will probably feel like most other Canada Days, except in Toronto where the provincial government is spending $120,000 to bring a gigantic American rubber duckie to its waterfront. There will be other events, other
projects, some even more worthwhile than gigantic rubber duckies, but my guess is that this is not, unlike 1967, going to be a year we will look back upon with nostalgia. Several things made 1967. For one, the federal government was not just going through the motions. Unlike today, it was not afraid to spend. So tons of government money was committed, all over the country, to things that mattered. It felt like every community in the country was getting a new concert hall, a new arena, a new library. For another thing, there was an optimism, an idealism in the country that was different from what we have now. Expo 67 made us proud and attracted world attention, which made us prouder. Despite the Cold War and the spectre of Vietnam, despite the growing signs of separatism at home, Canadians were confident

about the future, eager to make it better. It doesn’t seem that way now. Although the world was a perilous place in 1967, different kinds of peril face us now. Recent events, particularly to the south of us, have created an uncertainty that may make us less inclined to party. And less inclined to take on the big projects that would really make life better for Canadians — not to mention the less fortunate of the world, to whom we have been paying less and less attention. To go back to those unfortunate souls at the beginning of this column, few of our political parties campaign on getting rid of homelessness and poverty. They talk about making things less difficult for the middle class. That’s a far cry from idealism.

Rebecca Cranmer and Alex Stephanou of SAP Business Reimagined Tour show off a few of the latest technologies, including Pepper, the android, middle, who can do everything from act as a receptionist to take a selfie with you. The SAP tour, which made a stop in Ottawa on May 31 offered local businesses the opportunity to see what the latest in technology is available.
Innovated ideas roll into Ottawa BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
A different kind of business tour took over the Canada Aviation and Space Museum this week. The SAP Business Reimagined Tour pulled into Ottawa on May 31 to showcase to its local business partners — in this case, the city of Ottawa and the public service in Ottawa — the latest in technology to help make regular day-today tasks a little easier. “This is so they can experience the future of business,” said Chris Durkin, director of marketing for SAP. Known as the world’s largest business software company, SAP develops technologies that can help companies revolutionize everything from cancer treatments to flood prevention. In Ottawa, the company focused on meeting with the city’s largest workforce — the public sector. “This is all about offering them a chance to see how they
can apply the technology offered here to the public sector,” Durkin added. A trailer has been converted into a technology showcase, where Pepper the android welcomes visitors and acts as a receptionist. She does everything from answer questions to pose for a selfie. Aside from the delightful Pepper, the rest of the trailer included everything from smart shelving for stores — that helps customers pick the product that is 99 per cent a match for them — to a digital boardroom or an augmented virtual reality. The tour left little to dream about when it comes to taking businesses practices into the future. Durkin himself said he was captivated by the drone technology they have on display in the trailer, stating they have created technology that can send a drone up to help find the exact place where a power outage has happened, to reduce the time a company like Hydro
Ottawa can take to rectify the problem. Inside the museum, more than 100 public sector employees attended a full-day conference that included keynote speakers, presentations, and workshops. The tour is on its way to Toronto, Ont. next and will also make a stop in Montreal, Que. as two of the 150 stops in American and Canadian cities over the next year, as a way to offer individuals a chance to see up close what the company shows off at its annual conference in the United States, known as Sapphire Now — where more than 25,000 clients attend to get a glimpse at the latest technologies for business. Bill Tompkins, senior director of customer experience, said this mobile tour is simply about taking the company’s story on the road for all businesses, big and small, to check out. “This is about how a company can optimize and enable efficiency that they haven’t in the past,” Tompkins said.
The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) affect properties located in Ward 19, Cumberland. The CDP area is generally bounded to: the west by Mer Bleue Road; the east by Tenth Line Road; to the north by Mer Bleue area (Avalon West development), and at southern limit the boundary runs along Wall Road through community of Notre Dame Des Champs to Tenth Line Road (running approximately the mid-way point between Wall Road and Navan Road). Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: a Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components; and a Master Transportation Study (MTS) to provide the street network;. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the EMP, MSS and MTS. The purpose of the OPA and Secondary Plan is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Mer Bleue UEA CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate McKinnon’s Creek and a significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update the natural heritage system feature. The effect of the Secondary Plan is to provide the planning framework and policies that are required to implement area’s vision with future development applications or public works. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/merbleuecdp or to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-17-0006 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or e-mail by June 20, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Vanier gets ready to party BIA plans big 150th event for neighbourhood on June 10 BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Vanier is about to kick off Canada’s 150th with one of the biggest parties ever planned for Montreal Road. With Montreal Road set to undergo significant reconstruction in 2018-19, Quartier Vanier Merchants Association's aim of creating the tallest mural on 261 Montreal Rd. in Ottawa will contribute to excitement surrounding the street’s redevelopment in the heart of the Vanier neighbourhood. The BIA announced that artist duo Mique Michelle and Kalkidan Assefa will take on the four-storey project, which is near completion. To celebrate the murals and highlight the community, the BIA will host an unveiling and street party on June 10. During the event, the Vanier community is invited to contribute to the tallest mural in the city by adding the finishing touches on the piece. For the event, the BIA has successfully acquired the street permits to close the street, said executive direc-
tor Jamie Kwong. “We wanted to make the event the best it can be,” Kwong said. Another youth mural project is also underway for 273 Montreal Rd., which will be unveiled at the June 10 event. Ten youth over the age of 14 will be selected for this youth mural installation led by Ottawa-born visual artist Darren Pyper, who will facilitate community consultations for the design concept. The BIA has partnered with the local Boys and Girls Club and the Vanier Community Services Centre for youth recruitment. Kwong said there will be music and activities, as well as partnerships with community organizations such as the Vanier Community Service Centre’s annual Velo Fest, as part of the festivities. Throughout the day and into the evening, House of PainT will animate the heart of Vanier with live music, dance, and entertainment. The event, called Mozaik, will welcome locals Nile Groove and TIMEKODE who will perform on a stage at 250 Montreal Rd.
TIMEKODE is Ottawa's largest, longest-running monthly dance party. Its resident DJs Memetic and Zattar will host the mini-party. Also included will be Brewery Market, an event series inspired by the traditional farmers' market that offers locally-produced craft beer served in a small-scale outdoor setting. The breweries coming are Clocktower, Dominion City, and Bicycle Brewery. Several local food vendors — Louis’ Pizza, Tukan, Maison Baguette, Gung Fu Bao, The Great Canadian Poutinerie, Muckleston and Brockwell and Wabano BBQ — will participate in the event. There will also be performances by The Full Time Groove and local hip hop artist KOOL KRYS. From May 1 to June 10, there will be a crowdfunding campaign to harness community support and help with the efforts for the event. For donations $40 and up, a limited print of the mural at 261 Montreal Rd. is available. “We wanted to have something to give back,” Kwong said. There are 500 prints available.

I thought it was going to be so hard. Not sure what I was thinking. I avoided the topic at all cost. I had planned my retirement; planned for my kids’ education, planned for my home’s minor renovations and purchased my new “retirement” car. I met with my financial planner to ensure that everything was in order, that my wife and I are ready for the future. But then my financial planner asked me if I had put or thought of setting money aside for my service. I was shocked. I’m about to retire, I don’t want to or need to think “of that” now, do I?
And then it hit me. I certainly didn’t want my kids or my wife to deal with everything. I made the decision and felt a sense of relief. I met with a certified pre-planning specialist. He took my wife, my kids and I through all our options and provided us with the information we needed. He helped me understand that now my kids were secure and that if anything unfortunate were to happen, everything is taken care of. I planned for my retirement, so it only makes sense that I planned for the inevitable. Open to the public daily 280 Beechwood Ave., Ottawa

Minimum wage hike won’t bankrupt the economy
I
n late May, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne made a much-anticipated announcement that her government will increase the province’s hourly minimum wage to $15 by 2019, from the current $11.40. Critics came out of the woodwork, calling the plan a job-killing disaster. One pundit suggested the rate hike would trigger the immediate loss of 100,000 jobs in the province. Others argued small businesses would bear the brunt of the cost, while large enterprises would exit Ontario en masse in search of cheaper labour. The arguments aren’t completely unfounded, but they are hyperbolic. Records of minimum wage hike increases from the last 50 years show a number of significant jumps in minimum wage from year to year. From $. 90 in 1965, the wage jumped to $1.30 in 1969, an increase of 44 per cent in four years. Subsequently the rate continued to climb, more than doubling to $2.25 by 1974. Minimum wage increased annually throughout the ‘70s, spiking by more than 45 per cent in the first half of the ‘80s to $4.35. There are many pundits arguing that minimum wage increases trigger job losses. But the historical data, at a glance, doesn’t
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse
back this claim. Over the last few decades, Ontario’s unemployment rate has, in fact, remained relatively stable at between six and seven per cent, with some exceptions. In 1984 and 2009 the provincial unemployment rate peaked at more than nine per cent. But one would be hard pressed to argue that minimum wage hikes were the catalyst. In the latter case, for example, world markets were crumbling and entire countries declaring bankruptcy. Triggers for spikes in unemployment are complex and multiple. Although the 9.1 per cent spike in 2009 did coincide with a one dollar minimum wage increase (to $9.50), the high unemployment rate arguably had more to do with the mass layoffs in Ontario’s manufacturing sector during the financial crisis than it did with
increasing people’s basic hourly wage. There are also many examples where the numbers don’t spike simultaneously. In 2004, for example, unemployment remained stable at 6.8 per cent, despite the occurrence of the first minimum wage hike in nine years to $7.15 (from $6.85 in 1995). There’s no doubt the minimum wage increase is a strategic vote-buying tactic for a party and a premier that are almost setting records for their lack of popularity in the polls. Even the least cynical among us see that. And while it’s true that minimum wage increases aren’t about to bankrupt the job market, the reverse also holds — they’re not doing much to stimulate it either. As much as the Premier would like us to believe otherwise, a higher minimum wage doesn’t encourage greater participation in the labour economy. The hyperbolic pundits don’t lie. There is potential for some negative side effects, particularly outside of the Toronto bubble economy where these decisions are made. Small businesses — and even large manufacturers and those in the agricultural industry — may opt out of hiring or shut down Ontario operations altogether if labour costs spike too high too soon, something that would have a huge impact on smaller cities
and towns across the province. Youth unemployment is already significantly higher than average unemployment among adults. Employers that rely on summer students and part-timers may be forced to eliminate these positions in the absence of government incentives to counterbalance the additional costs of labour. Consumers will also bear the brunt of costs. Bread basket items have been climbing for years, something that’s almost guaranteed to continue as labour costs trickle down to consumers. But is a 32 per cent increase in the hourly minimum wage going to bankrupt the province? No. Ontario has seen 28 minimum wage increases in the past 50 years and not a single one has led to the economic apocalypse currently predicted by the caviar class. It’s OK to remain skeptical of motives behind the premier’s decision to do this now, but at the end of the day, every Ontarian deserves a livable working wage. It’s up to the Premier — or possibly her successor, depending on the outcome of the next election — to put incentive measures in place to mitigate the adverse effects that higher labour costs may have on employers and consumers.

City moves forward with low-income single-fare option by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Trevor Haché, secretary for the Healthy Transportation Co-
alition, says the a plan to look at a single-fare option for low-income riders of OC Transpo will help the “poorest of the poor”. The city’s transit commis-
sion approved having staff look at options to deliver a low-cost single fare option on May 31. The city announced the EquiPass, a discounted monthly pass
option for those living under the poverty line in November. At a cost of $57 a month — while deeply discounted from the regular fare — it’s still out of
reach for many, Haché said. Original estimates by staff suggested that 4,400 riders would be eligible for the subsidized pass, which would cost the city $2.7 million. A memo to councillors from transit commission chair Stephen Blais and Mayor Jim Watson in advance of the May 31 meeting, said that 2,300 riders had already taken advantage of the pass. “And that number grows daily,” said Pat Scrimgeour, manager of customer service and transit planning for OC Transpo. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said while she supported the plan, she wanted to ensure the costs for the subsidized, single fare option wouldn’t be born on the backs of other riders. Transportation GM John Manconi, said that and other questions such as the delivery of the option would have to be ironed out by staff before budget deliberations in the fall. Transit commissioner lauded the idea, and said
the lowest income residents likely can’t afford a monthly pass. “A proper examination is the way to go,” he said. For Blais, it’s simply the time to take the next step. “There’s been uptake on the EquiPass, it’s time to explore a single-fare option,” he said. Haché agreed with the move, but said the city needs to look at the overall issue of transit affordability. “The plan is to increase fares by 2.5 per cent every year until 2048,” he said. “That means by then a return trip will be $14.” Haché says the coalition — which is a consortium of advocates and special interest groups spanning the city — also plans to host a transportation equity summit at city hall in September. The panel isn’t ironed out yet, but they have confirmed a speaker from the Portland transit authority’s equity department — something he said he’d like to see in Ottawa. Council will have to approve the commission’s recommendation to allow staff to study the issue, at which point work will begin.

Always something to be done in the fields
I
n my mind’s eye I could see Father in the far-off fields earlier in the spring, plowing the fields that lay beyond the Bonnechere River over the West Hill. He walked behind the plow, stooped over as if he were carrying a heavy load. He used the furrow first plowed, as a guideline, never once looking back to make sure he was moving in a straight line. I would, if I wasn’t at school, go over to where he was working, sit on the log fence, and watch him. He would nod in my direction, but there was no time for idle chatter, and I would stay there for the longest time, often wondering how he could stand the constant back and forth of walking the fields that made up our farm on that side of the river. And even though much time had passed since those fields had been plowed, there was still the land on what he called the north side of the railroad tracks to tend to. Often the first-plowed fields would be sprouted by the time Father had finished plowing and planting the other fields of grain. And now he was sitting on the rim of the big water tank in the barn yard. The bottoms of his bib-overalls were caked with mud from the fields he had been working in, and I saw that even his leather laces in his work boots were hidden by the dirt. I knew he would be stripping in the wood shed before coming into the house for his supper. He sat with the plow-point between his knees, anchored tightly so it couldn’t move. And I wondered how he could endure the pain of its weight on his legs, as he held it firmly so that he could work on it. And I knew why he was sitting on the rim of the water trough that was there to quench the thirst of the livestock in the hot summer weather. He had in his hand the
MARY COOK Memories
“The steady plodding up and down, one field after another...But that’s the way it was. And the way it would always be.” whetstone and he was trying to sharpen the plow point to make the job yet to be done easier. I saw that the very point of the plow point had worn away, leaving that part jagged, but there was enough left to finish the job if he could once again create a sharp edge. And that was what he was trying to do on that hot summer day. You just didn’t buy a new plow-point because a bit of it had worn off! I once asked Father how something so hard could wear down to that point. He said it was because the land, even though his ancestors had done their best to remove them, still had buried stones in the ground. The constant contact with the stones was what had worn the plow-point down. Father, with his hands bare, scraped the stone over and over the edge of the plow-point, stopping only long enough to dip the whetstone into the trough of water, trying to create a new sharp edge. I went to the pump close by and brought him a cup of cold water. He took the cup with his weather-beaten hand and swallowed it down without stopping.
He handed the cup back to me, only nodding his thanks. Again, I knew there was no time for idle chatter. The north fields beckoned him, and the plow point had to be ready. As I so often did, I watched Father at work that day. I moved to the twig chair that sat on the back stoop so that I could see him, hoping he didn’t know that I was there. If he did, there was no acknowledgement. And again, in my mind’s eye, I could see him walking mile after mile behind the plow pulled by our horse, and I wondered at how he could stand the monotony of it all. The steady plodding up and down, one field after another, and to finish the job, spending untold hours sitting in the sun trying to create a new sharp edge to a plow point that had served three generations. But that’s the way it was. And the way it would always be. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The Ugandan High Commission is looking to upgrade their office space in Sandy Hill. That plan would require their current building, at 231 Cobourg St. to be demolished. The current two-storey, flat roofed building was used for office space, but was vacated in 2014 because the building was deemed unsafe and unhealthy. The plan is to remove the existing building and build a three-storey office building for the embassy in its place, at 11 metres in height and include a rooftop amenity as well. A zoning bylaw amendment and an approval under the Ontario Heritage Act are required for the project, as the property is located in a heritage district of Wil-

Found a Baby Animal? Check With the Experts for How to Help
Roger (ID# A201072) Meet Roger, a loveable cat looking for his purr-fect match. Roger is a goofy boy who will keep you entertained as he plays with his favourite cat toys. He’d love a new home with lots of cozy places to nap. Roger would prefer to be the only feline in the home so he can have all of his family’s love to himself. For more information on Roger and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd
Stumbling upon a baby animal that needs help usually brings out the maternal instincts in all of us. But spotting a baby animal by himself doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an orphan. Many wildlife parents leave their young alone during the day, sometimes for long periods. The mother is usually nearby and quite conscious of her young. Also, keep in mind that despite their small size, many young animals are actually independent enough to fend for themselves. Wildlife rehab centres in Ottawa are filling up with animals that wouldn’t have needed the service had they been left alone. So how can you tell if an animal needs your help or should be left alone? Please call the Ottawa Humane Society at 613-725-3166, ext. 221, or visit www.ottawahumane.ca/juvenile-or-baby-wildlife/ for information on what to do if you find a baby animal. You may also call the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary at 613-258-9480 for help.

Sail into Petrie Island this Canada Day BY Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Noise By-Law Review City Council approved a new noise by-law last week after extensive public consultation including an on-line survey, public meetings and polling. I dissented on the vote as I believe we lost an opportunity to better manage unwanted noise, an issue on which I hear a lot from residents. I was particularly interested in trying to limit the hours of permissible construction noise on weekends, when residents are more likely to be home and keen on a break (and some tranquility!) when living close to where construction is occurring. While other cities like Toronto curtail construction hours on weekends (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) on Saturdays and no construction noise permitted on Sunday), the City of Ottawa permits construction noise from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. The staff report before committee and Council recommended the status quo. Yet a majority of residents who took the on-line survey expressed an interest in shortening construction hours in some fashion. Furthermore, the polling demonstrated that a majority of residents had some negative experience with unwanted construction noise. Given the public views and the public health evidence linking noise with adverse health impacts, I would have been in favour of a more drastic reduction in permissible construction hours. But given the opposition from staff and colleagues at the committee, I moved instead what I considered a very modest, incremental and reasonable motion at committee to push back the Saturday morning start time to 9 a.m. from 7 a.m., thereby aligning the Saturday and Sunday schedules. Representatives of the construction industry argued strongly at committee against my motion. Unfortunately, my motion failed as a majority voted against the proposed change. If we want to keep our urban neighbourhoods healthy, safe and attractive places to live, we must ensure we strike the right balance of interests between the need for construction to occur and the rights of residents to have limits on when it occurs. I don’t think we have that balance right in our city and was disappointed this review opportunity was not used to good effect.
A parade of boats is planning to sail into Petrie Island beach to bring in Canada Day 2017. A flotilla will travel from Parliament Hill down the Ottawa River to Petrie Island on July 1 as a part of the Kiwanis Club of Orléans’ Canada Day celebration at Petrie Island. A different group used to organize a popular Canada Day celebration, which was usually held at Petrie Island, but after it was cancelled the Kiwanis Club decided to take it on for 2017.
Flotilla plans were stalled for a bit as organizers waited to hear if city staff thought the event could go ahead at Petrie Island after spring flooding at the beach, but they received news that they should be good to go ahead, said flotilla organizer Phil McNeely, former Ottawa-Orléans MPP. Boat owners who participate will be encouraged to dress up in Canada Day gear and decorate their boats to make the trip down the river. “We’re really happy that Kiwanis is staging Canada Day and bringing it back to Petrie Island,”
McNeely said. “We’re hoping the boats will be all decorated and flying lots of Canadian flags.” McNeely is encouraging boaters at local marinas to take part in the event and anchor their boats where possible at Petrie to join the festivities. He estimates there are 500 to 600 boats that dock on both sides of the river in convenient locations to join the flotilla. The event was planned as a way for the Rotary Club of Orléans to raise funds for the Canada Day event, with boat owners paying a registration fee and being encouraged to collect donations toward
