ONLINE at BIA not happy with shelter’s plans to move to Vanier ottawacommunitynews.com News, events and information on your desktop, laptop or mobile device
BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Vanier’s business association is stunned by the lack of advance notice from the Salvation Army to inform the organization about its plans to move its downtown shelter to Vanier. “There was no consultation with the BIA at any point in the process,” said Mark Kaluski, president of the Quartier Vanier Merchants Association. “Our first indication of this project was the press release for the announcement, where a fully fleshed out, architect-drawn design of the site was presented.” The Salvation Army’s intention is to close its ByWard Market Booth Centre at 171 George St. and relocate to Vanier. The $50-million plan includes four different on-site housing models, which includes emergency shelter accommodations, and life-skill, stabilization and addictions programming. “We would always be happy to accept a $50-million investment in Vanier, with 200 new employees frequenting our businesses,” Kaluski said. “But there are other locations, even within Vanier, that would satisfy the Salvation Army's

Mathieu Fleury is asking the Salvation Army to halt its application in order to open up the discussion around site selection. Residents aired their concerns on Facebook the eve-
ning of June 23 — many of them questioning the move. “The community of Vanier has worked like Trojans to turn this community around,” Allana MacIntosh wrote in a Facebook post. “A strong, loving and supportive community. This move in the heart of Vanier will set all of that work back many years. This community has been
hard hit for decades with one struggle after another. We need a hand up. We are not yet strong enough as a community to have this strengthen us as perhaps it could in 10 to 15 years.” MacIntosh has volunteered throughout the neighbourhood, cleaning up graffiti on buildings and garbage bins. Many echoed MacIn-
tosh’s sentiments, with a few supporting the application, calling out the others as NIMBYs. According to the Salvation Army’s public relations director, Glenn van Gulik, the process that involved finding a new location for its downtown centre began in 2010. See VANIER, page 4

A new exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature is really cool. The museum unveiled its permanent Canada Goose Arctic gallery on June 20. The gallery officially opens to the public on June 21. “I hope this gallery inspires Canadians to want to go to the Arctic,” said Meg Beckel, president and chief executive officer of the museum. The 743-square-metre gallery, located on the fourth floor of the museum, aims to take visitors on a trip to the Arctic — and the first stop in the gallery is a multimedia art installation where sights, sounds and even touch bring the Arctic to Ottawa. Beyond Ice is a large art installation made completely of real ice. A partnership between the museum and the National
Film Board of Canada, exhibit designer, Daniel Boivin explained Beyond Ice features Arctic scenes and animation by Inuit artists projected on the ice. Touch the ice and it melts, but as Boivin points out the ice, which is built on steel structures, meant to look like breaking sea ice, will never fully melt — rather consistently stay cool. “The challenge was we had to find an expert in ice display — which we found they are few and far to find,” Boivin said, adding that they found some experts in France who helped design the structure. “It’s live, it melts,” Boivin said. The designer said, however, it would never fully melt — no matter how many excited hands touch the melting structure. “The amount of which it evaporates is equal to the amount that is formed,”
Boivin said — meaning it will always stay the same size. When the museum was working on developing ideas for the gallery, Boivin said, whenever they looked to incorporate photos into the exhibit they found the photos just didn’t work. “It just looked like a tourism video,” Boivin said. Boivin credits the NFB for coming up with the creative alternative. “I think they really turned this into an art form,” he said. Etienne Paquette worked with the NFB to create the installation project, which began in September 2016. He said the end result is all thanks to teamwork. “I’m most proud of is that it speaks to children and adults,” Paquette said. “It’s unusual to express and show film on raw materials.” See MORE, page 3
More than 200 specimens, artifacts on display Continued from page 2
The film goes from polar night to polar day — and showcases the changes of the Arctic. “I think it’s exceeded everyone’s expectations. No one has ever worked on a medium like this,” Boivin said. ZONES
Visiting the gallery, there is the chance to check out four themed zones covering climate, geography, sustainability and ecosystems — all aimed at immersing visitors in the Arctic’s natural environment and the human connections with the land. There are more than 200 specimens and artifacts. Artifacts, interactive games and activities are scattered throughout the gallery. The museum developed the concepts for the gallery with input from an advisory committee, in order to include perspectives of Indigenous communities and experiences.
Caitlyn Baikie was a member of the advisory committee for the two years. She said this gallery is truly an act of reconciliation. Born and raised in Nain, Ninatsiavut, Baikie said at first she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to participate in the project — but in the end, said she felt its important for indigenous peoples to actively engage in projects such as this one, in order to ensure indigenous peoples stories and life is shared. “I’m very happy to share a piece of my heart,” Baikie said. There are brief videos, called "people capsules," in each zone of the gallery, which offer first-person experiences of those who live or work in the Arctic. The advisory committee also helped include another way to showcase indigenous perspectives, by creating a special exhibition space, Northern Voices Gallery located within the permanent gallery, to be curated by Northerners.
Entry to the Canada Goose Arctic Gallery will be included with general museum admission. For more information about the gallery or the museum, visit nature.ca.

Vanier site made sense: Salvation Army
While you can file reports to 3-1-1 using the City’s website, that function is only handy if you’re sitting in front of your computer. For a long while, I’ve been asking for a more convenient way for residents to report issues with garbage, graffiti or other matters. For example, if you’re out and about and you notice some graffiti sprayed on a utility box or bus stop, you could use the app to capture a photo and the exact location of the vandalism, so that city staff can better respond and get it cleaned up. This free app will also allow geotagging information to be shared with police so they could, for example, track down graffiti artists leaving multiple tags across the city. Staff are working on the app now and I hope to see it launched for public use in 2018.

“It’s been a long process. We’ve been researching siteselection analysis for almost seven years,” van Gulik said. The organization reached out to CBRE, a real estate company, to research and analyze potential locations in the city for the Booth Centre’s new location. The search was completed in February of this year. Potential neighbourhoods considered were Centretown, Lowertown, Vanier and the St. Laurent Boulevard area. Based on costs, location and proximity to transit, van Gulik said 333 Montreal Rd.
is the only site that made sense. Van Gulik said the Salvation Army has done some consultations, mainly with city staff prior to completing the development application. Unlike the Booth Centre, which is widely known as an emergency shelter, van Gulik said this new 9,569-squaremetre facility would be a community hub for its clients. There will be outdoor terraces and green spaces with gardens — all in a secure area. There will be counselling services, skills training, chaplaincy and worship, housing referrals, outreach services and Emergency Disaster Ser-

just a relocation of a shelter,” van Gulik said. “We are not relocating a shelter, we are building a brand new stateof-the-art facility.” According to van Gulik, the organization is decreasing the number of emergency beds and doubled the number of beds with supportive housing. “It’s a new facility with a new approach,” he said. For the BIA, Kaluski said the goal has always been to improve the area. “With the redevelopment of Montreal Road in 2018, and all the efforts of local businesses and the BIA in improving the area, we were hoping that this attractive site was going to be used to attract an anchor business that would drive customers to our area, and not yet another social service agency on Montreal Road,” Kaluski said.

Vanier’s elected officials want shelter location reconsidered By Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Vanier’s top three elected officials are torn over the Salvation Army’s plans to move its downtown shelter to Montreal Road. Ottawa-Vanier MP Mona Fortier, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosier and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury released a joint statement shortly after the Salvation Army submitted plans to redevelop its thrift store location at 333 Montreal Rd. in Vanier on June 22. “Emergency shelters and substance abuse facilities, when developed in partnership, have the ability to transform neighbourhoods in communities and truly offer the services that are needed,” the statement said. The Salvation Army has submitted plans to the city to redevelop the property so it can move its ByWard Market Booth Centre at 171 George St. to Vanier. The three noted as representatives of both Lowertown

A breakdown of which building will house what for the Salvation Army’s new facility, planned for 333 Montreal Rd. and Vanier, the announcement from the Salvation Army came with mixed feelings. “The exploratory site evaluation process completed by the Salvation Army requires in-depth consultations with stakeholders,” their statement
said. “Among other considerations, efficient and affordable access to public transportation will ensure the clients have the greatest number of options for emergency housing, access to meals, employment, health care and support services.”
According to the Salvation Army’s public relations director, Glenn van Gulik, the process to choose Vanier was a thorough one. Fleury said he only found out about the plans around 6 p.m. on June 21. Residents in the area also found out hours before the plans were revealed. “This is tremendous news for Ottawa,” Fleury said. “One part of me wears the hat of local councillor in Lowertown and says wow, it’s a tremendous day today. But for Vanier, I say woah, where does that site come from?” Fleury has asked the Salvation Army to put their application to the city on hold until the organization and area representatives can explore more sites. Chris Penton, recent Vanier Community Association president, said he was caught off-guard. “There was no heads up, no engagement,” Penton said. “We did so much engagement over the last year
tions. For Fleury it’s important that other sites are considered before a decision of where it should be built is made, and whether the shelter moving to Vanier in the end could be the best location. “My mind is not there. I don’t want it to go there until that is the location,” Fleury said. The plan is to break ground in the spring of 2019, with the intent to move in by fall 2019, or early winter 2020.
for the redevelopment of Montreal Road, they (the Salvation Army) should have their ear to the ground about that sort of stuff, so it’s kind of disappointing. I guess the question is whether it’s a done deal.” Penton said although he’s skeptical, he does hope there is a way to work with the organization before it breaks ground. Van Gulik said the organization intends on hosting extensive community consulta-

Round-of-a-paws for new Beacon Hill dog park By Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Looks like one park in Beacon Hill has gone to the dogs. It was in 2014 when Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, running for re-election, was approached by a number of dog owners in the area wanting one thing — a place their dogs could run
free. Tierney said he acknowledged their request, making it an election promise — one he was happy to finally complete on June 17. The park is about 50 metres by 60 metres and is located behind Blair Animal Hospital, at 849 Shefford Rd. There are a number of neat additions to keep the park
tidy and the dogs happy — including a garbage can that goes deep into the ground, about two metres down. All the waste is thrown down the chute and stored underground. A truck removes the contents of the bin. The goal, Tierney said, is to reduce overflowing, smelly garbage cans. “It was a big deal to keep

the park clean,” Tierney said. The Blair Animal Hospital made a contribution so water can be supplied for the dogs. Tierney calls the new park a community hub for paws. Leading up to the official opening, Tierney said there were a number of eager dog owners trying to use the park before it was complete — which he said is a testament to how much the community wanted and needed the space. To celebrate the official opening, the animal hospital supplied goodie bags for the dogs, filled with dog food, biscuits and some information about the hospital and the groomers. Tierney supplied “save our pets” window clings, used in case of fire, for everyone who attended. “The community is very, very happy,” Tierney said. “I’m very happy I was able to deliver this one for the four-legged friends of Beacon Hill.”

7,551 school kids spur Fury to 1-0 win on School Day Game By Jake Davies jake.davies@metroland.com
The inaugural Ottawa Fury School Day Game was a unique experience for area school kids and Fury players alike, in a crucial 1-0 victory over Orlando. The 11 a.m. kickoff was scheduled to accommodate a crowd of more than 7,500 loud school students bused in from Blackburn Hamlet, Kinburn, Carp, Orleans, Kanata and all points between. It was the earliest start a lot of Fury players had prepared for in quite some time. “We probably fed off their energy, for sure,” midfielder Jamar Dixon said after the game. “I haven’t played a game at that time in years, probably never. The last time I played that early was when I was their age, playing in weekend tournaments. It was a shock, but it was definitely good, they were definitely the 12th man for us today.” Dixon played his youth soccer with Ottawa St. Anthony’s and the Gloucester Hornets, before university where he played for the Xavier X-Men. He has spent his past two years with Ottawa Fury FC. He says the Fury will no doubt improve the development of youth soccer in the area. “I think what OSEG has done, they’ve actually changed the development of football in the city,” Dixon said. “We needed something like this, in order for kids to want to play soccer, want to come and watch soccer. So I think they’ve done a great job. You see it today, all the kids are so happy, they didn’t stop

Haworth was returning to the field after spending the past 16 weeks rehabbing an injury. It was his first game of the season, and he looked sharp in 61 minutes of play. He felt the school day game was a great time for a return. “It was cool, it was awesome, the kids were fully involved from warm-ups to the final whistle,” Haworth said. “It was a good atmosphere and we thrived off of it. I was chomping at the bit to get out there.” Captain Lance Rozeboom, an American midfielder, says he can’t remember the last time he played a pre-noon game “Their energy was great to
be honest, you never know how it’s going to be with kids. They were screaming, they gave us a lot of energy. It was weird, I don’t know. I haven’t played an 11 a.m. game in a while. So, you don’t know how it’s going to go. "But it was a fantastic atmosphere out there. It’s great stuff for the organization, OSEG, to do that.” Coach and general manager Paul Dalglish called the game a unique experience and was happy to be a part of it. “Brilliant. For me, that was awesome,” he said. “I think this was a wonderful idea. It’s not something I have ever seen done before, coming from a European football background. But I think it’s absolutely awesome. We have this big stadium. This is the best game in the world, and let’s get as many kids here to watch the games as often as

Celebrate Canada’s glory July 1
C
anada’s 150th birthday is a time of celebration, but don’t ever think that this achievement was easy. The Fathers of Confederation had great dreams back in 1867, but these were not enough to ensure success as a nation. Over the ensuing years, the country has met challenge after challenge — the Riel Rebellion, two world wars, the Depression, the Quebec crisis, to name but a few. Canada has come through it all, and has grown to be acknowledged as one of the most inclusive and free countries in the world. When asked what best describes Canada, our health care system is frequently mentioned. But it is not the health care system itself that defines Canada. It is simply the product of Canada’s most enduring traits — a desire for everyone to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect. The health system does this. These traits pervade Canadian society. That’s why refugees have been welcomed here. That’s why gay, lesbian, and transgender rights are now a fact of life in our country. That’s why multiculturalism is prevalent in Canada, in sharp contrast to the melting pot concept in the United States. Of course, Canada is not perfect. More needs to be done for mental health. More needs to be done
in helping the homeless and the working poor. And more needs to be done to reach reconciliation with indigenous peoples. While 150 years of nationhood for Canada is cause for celebration, our indigenous neighbours in this country have a history not of hundreds but of thousands of years. Theirs is a tradition and lifestyle that deserves respect and admiration, not the prejudice and disdain that has prevailed in past years. It’s time for the resolution of the country’s indigenous relationship so that we can all go forward in mutual respect and equality. There is much to be proud of in Canada. Any list of recipients of the Order of Canada reveals a myriad of accomplishments, from medicine to entertainment to sports to high tech to the creative arts, and more. Yet, many recipients are relatively unknown to their fellow citizens. That’s just the Canadian way. Do something, do it well, and do it with little fanfare. July 1 this year, though, is a time to break this mould, at least for a day, and celebrate Canada and all its achievements over the past 150 years. Canadians are a hard working, good-hearted, generous, respectful people. This is Canada’s strength. This is Canada’s glory. This is our Canada. Happy Canada Day!
Enjoy the fact that Canada is 150 and a democracy
E
xperienced news media consumers know that we like nothing better than to spoil your fun. There is not a happy occasion that comes without cautionary words. A particularly creative example of this was in the newspaper the other day, an article about how summer can make you sad. Turned out the article was in a British newspaper and perhaps summer is different there. The sad part, according to the article, comes from the fact that you have to watch your friends having fun while you’re not, or you have to watch your friends leave for exciting vacations while you’re stuck in town. So watch out for that. Plus, the article doesn’t even mention all the bad things the summer sun can do to you. You can add this to the list of warn-
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ings about other pleasurable events in all seasons. Christmas, as we all know, is problematic because we overeat and overdrink. Music festivals, as we were warned the other day, are rife with dangerous drugs. Boating is fun but watch out for the water. And don’t forget about all the perils of play structures. With this in mind, we have a different way of looking at the approach of Canada’s 150th birthday: stay hydrated and don’t forget the sunscreen. Of course, if you were of a mind, you could apply the warning label ap-
proach to our nation as a whole: Canada, while seemingly a free and pleasant place, can make you sad. Canada is cold. You could freeze, or your car could. Canada has a vigorous sporting life but you could get hit with a flying hockey puck. In the autumn, Canada’s trees change colours and can be quite beautiful but you could hurt your back raking them up. This is not a problem that affects countries that have no trees. Canada is cursed with trees. Canada has two languages but you might not be able to understand the one being spoken to you at any particular time. Canada is plagued by mosquitoes, wasps, bears, black flies, cougars, raccoons and, um, leeches. Canada is multicultural which means there are parts of town where you can’t get a decent grilled cheese sandwich.

So you should celebrate carefully. Always keep a bucket of water handy and some sand. Canada is located right next to the United States. That could be a problem. Also, some of your friends might be leaving for exciting vacations in the United States and that could make you sad. When the snow melts in the spring that could make you sad because your basement floods. Canada’s health system is the envy of many in the world but it costs the earth to park at the hospital. Sad. All that being said, it is our duty to note that some Canadians insist on ignoring the many warnings and just carrying on as if calamity did not lurk around every corner. Canada, in fact, has some people who are cheerful, optimistic, confident about the future, happy with their lives and keen to celebrate.

Oh Canada: We have a drinking problem A BRYNNA
s Canadians kick off the official start to summer with what is expected to be Ottawa’s biggest party ever for Canada’s sesquicentennial, we are sure to have cocktails in hand. And there’s a lot to celebrate. It was announced in December that Canada topped Lonely Planet’s “best places to travel in 2017” list. A few months after that, Canada was recognized in an international survey as the second best country in the world. “The Best Countries” survey of 21,000 individuals across 80 countries is conducted by U.S. News & World Report, Young & Rubicam BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Canada ranks high in a number of categories based on citizens’ self-reported satisfaction with things like quality of life (including politics, economy and access to health care), education, citizenship,

“Canadians are among the highest consumers of alcohol in the world...” green living and being open for business. The survey also ranks Canada fifth of 80 as being a great place to raise children and a positive place for women’s empowerment. No doubt about it, Canada is a great country and we should revel in that. But it may be how we’re revelling that is problematic. Canadians are among the highest consumers of alcohol in
the world, drinking 50 per cent more than the global average. It seems harmless, but Canadians need to wake up to the reality that alcohol is now a known leading contributor of more than 200 significant diseases and potentially fatal injuries. A 2010 study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) found that alcohol is the third leading cause of pre-
mature death, after smoking and high blood pressure. And not much has improved in the last seven years A 2017 study by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) found that more Canadians were hospitalized for alcohol than for heart attacks last year. CIHI reports that 77,000 Canadians were admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons in 2016, including for things like alcohol poisoning and liver failure, compared to just 75,000 for heart attacks. The statistics don’t include hospitalizations related to driving or unreported personal injury from alcohol, which would see the numbers spike. Health advocates are concerned that the government may not be taking Canada’s drinking problem seriously enough. In June, it was the beer and wine lobby that saw a huge win when the Senate voted 4632 to amend the Liberals’ omnibus budget bill. Among the amendments was the removal
an automatic two per cent increase in tax on alcohol, with a plan to further increase alcohol taxes annually adjusted for inflation. That’s off the table now. It's money that health advocates would have liked to see put directly into hospitals and preventive care. The CIHI researchers note that overconsumption of alcohol is an enormous (and often overlooked) burden on our health-care system and also on Canadians’ quality of life. Eighty per cent of Canadians drink. (Nothing says summer like a cold brew by a lake.) But in the last few decades more has become known about the effects of alcohol on overall health. Alcohol consumption — even moderately for some people — significantly increases the risk of cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. “From 1990 to 2010, alcohol increased from the sixth to the third leading risk factor for death and disability globally,” notes the CIHI study. There are a number of things
that affect how Canadians consume their brews. Areas that have more privatized sales of liquor tend to see higher consumption. Men are hospitalized more frequently than women for alcohol-related problems. Adolescent girls are more often treated for overconsumption than teen boys. And there are regional discrepancies as well. “Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Yukon and the Northwest Territories had higher-than-average rates of both alcohol sales and heavy drinking,” notes the report. Perhaps as we nurse our nation’s collective hangover in the days following the sesquicentennial celebrations, we should take the time in that self-loathing state to seriously contemplate our nation’s collective drinking problem. Because, regardless of diet, exercise and other factors, alcohol has the significant potential to reduce our quality life and cut short our time in what is one of the greatest countries on earth.

Downtown Canada Day fireworks light up sky at 11 p.m. Staff
For 20 minutes and 17 seconds on Canada Day, the skies over Ottawa and Gatineau will be alight with a musical fireworks display. Canadian Heritage is spending almost $245,000 on this year’s display, which will be orchestrated by Quebec company Royal Pyrotechnie Inc. Most of the show will be launched from Nepean Point, starting at 11 p.m., but other launch sites are located along Confederation Boulevard, including two sites in Ottawa and two in Gatineau. The later start time, according to Canadian Heritage, is to accommodate more programming on Parliament Hill. A bigger turnout is expected for the sesquicentennial celebration and Canadian Heritage estimates about 400,000 people will take in the three-day celebration. The evening show begins at 8:30 p.m. with performances by Alessia Cara, Walk Off The Earth, Cirque du Soleil, Louis-Jean Cormier, Marie-Mai, Dean Brody, Serena Ryder, Kelly Bado, Kinnie Starr, Lisa LeBlanc, Gordon Lightfoot, and more. The federal department in charge of the celebrations said the best viewing locations for the fireworks are behind the Canadian Museum of History and in Major’s Hill Park, where the soundtrack accompanying the show can also be heard. The government’s bid documents asked that companies plan for pyrotechnical effects to be fired from the front as well as both sides of the Peace Tower and the roof of Centre block during the show. “The pyromusical fireworks display must be spectacular, colourful, and appealing to the spectators.” The display will use 150 of the largest shells authorized in Canada, as well as a variety of other sizes and products. The show will be jam-packed, with no more than three seconds between explosions. Royal Pyrotechnie has been creating fireworks shows for the last half-century, according to its website. The team produces more than 300 shows a year and has won international awards for its work. Companies recognized worldwide, including some in Spain, Italy, the United States, and China, manufacture all of their fireworks. 10 Ottawa East News - Thursday, June 29, 2017

Mayor’s Report
Fighting the opioid crisis: a community eFFort By: Mayor Jim Watson For some time now, the City of Ottawa has been facing a serious public health crisis in relation to the misuse and overdose of opioid drugs. Statistics show that each year, 30 opioid overdose related death happen in our city. The recent emergence of illicit fentanyl as a drug filler puts even more people at risk for overdose. Illicit fentanyl is much more toxic than other pharmaceutical opioids and because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye, there is no easy way to know if drugs have been cut with fentanyl. A very small amount can cause a fatal overdose. With tragedies already tearing our communities apart, it is clear is that we must work with community partners on a responsive multi-faceted opioid strategy. Over the last few months, there has been an important dialogue between municipalities and upper levels of government on how best to coordinate efforts that will lead to a reduction of overdose deaths across Canada, including Ottawa. The Province of Ontario recently announced new base funding of $350,000 for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to directly support our local substance misuse strategy. The Province also announced the distribution of almost 80,000 additional naloxone kits, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, per year to front-line organizations. We know what access to naloxone can save lives. In the last year, 160 pharmacies have collectively distributed more than 4,000 naloxone kits in Ottawa alone. The city is facilitating training on how to respond to an overdose using naloxone for staff and volunteers at Ottawa’s shelters, downtown bars and festivals. Additionally, firefighters at all 45 fire stations in the City of Ottawa have recently completed training on how to administer naloxone and all City of Ottawa fire trucks now carry naloxone on board. We are also preparing for Ottawa Police Service members to administer naloxone when needed. But we must also tackle the roots of this crisis. Through public education, drug enforcement, and by providing better access to affordable housing, mental health support and clear pathways out of poverty, we can make a significant difference. Ottawa Public Health has been at the forefront of the fight on the opioid crisis. Last November, its Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force (OPRTF) launched a collaborative public education and awareness campaign called StopOverdoseOttawa. ca. Since its launch, this site has recorded over 25,000 visits. OPH is also engaging with all four Ottawa school boards, the Ottawa Police Service, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, and Maison Fraternité, as well as student leaders, to develop a youth-to-youth approach to better engage our youth. Through of age-appropriate presentations to Grade 4 to 12 students, we have reached close to 6,000 students and provided invaluable information on the risks of opioid use and misuse.
Vanier residents meet with police, fire about recent arsons String of late night fires has residents on edge BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
The recent fires in Vanier have everyone feeling uneasy- and determined to catch who is setting them. Many residents attended the annual general meeting for the Vanier Community Association on June 19 with fires top of mind. Aptly held at the Beechwood fire station, the main focus for the evening was to discuss the series of arsons in the neighbourhood. “I'll be perfectly honest, we don't know who is setting the fires,” said Sgt. David Christie, who heads the police’s arson unit. Christie told the crowd what he knew so far, which is the string of fires, that date back to August of last year, are all considered related and the arsonist is using nearby garbage cans and recycling bins as the accelerant. Of eight purposely set fires in Vanier, three were in August 2016, three were
in April, one was in May and the most recent was June 4. These fires, he said, are considered random acts, as there doesn’t seem to be any link between one property or the next — rather the fires seem to be crimes of an opportunity. The police have called in help from the RCMP’s behavioural science branch to help with the investigation. The unit involves the study of deviant human behaviour. According to the RCMP, the branch represents a number of investigative services aimed at understanding the dynamics of violent and/or serial crime. It conducts research and provides information in three different areas; criminal investigative analysis, geographic profiling and truth verification. The analysis is used to assist local law enforcement in solving violent crimes, including personality profiles, and can provide services like crime scene reconstruction. With geographic profiling, the tool helps predict the serial offender’s likely location to home, work and travel routes. The RCMP indicates that this type of profiling is helpful when there are no suspects. A minimum of five crimes or related sites is typically required.
I am confident that our shared goals and collaborative efforts will translate into a decrease in drug misuse and overdose in time. More information about counterfeit pills, overdose prevention, naloxone and local treatment resources can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.
Ottawa Fire Services Chief Gerry Pingitore demonstrates a nasal naloxone kit with Mayor Jim Watson at the final naloxone training for firefighters. All City fire trucks now carry it onboard.

Assistant division chief Jimi Fata from Ottawa Fire Services also spoke at the meeting, mostly discussing fire safety and to ensure residents understand the importance of being diligent in keeping garbage out of sight and keeping a watchful eye on the neighbourhood. “The most important thing with any fire is early detection,” Fata said. Vanier’s local community police officer, Const. Jonathan Kenney, encouraged residents to call in anything they feel is out of the ordinary. “Send it to me, Sgt. Christie or Crime Stoppers — anything is better than nothing, and if you think you have something, send it along,” Kenney said. Concerns raised by residents included whether the time of year makes the arsonist more likely to set fires, whether the police see a pattern, and whether more officers have been assigned to patrol the area. While Kenney said no more patrol officers have been reassigned to strictly patrol the area, Christie did say there is an increase in officers watching in the area at certain times. Every one of the fires was set between midnight and 3 a.m.

Ottawa Celebrations run all day in Stittsville, Munster CANADA STITTSVILLE
You can enjoy Canada Day Stittsville-style with a day of celebrations, continuing a tradition that has grown up over the years. Canada Day celebrations will get underway two hours earlier than usual, namely at 1 p.m. It’s all happening on the grounds at Sacred Heart Catholic High School at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road in Stittsville. There will be an opening ceremony at 1 p.m., complete with a Royal Canadian Legion colour party and the singing of O Canada, followed by remarks from dignitaries like city of Ottawa Stittsville ward Coun.

Canada Day at Petrie Island is back after it was moved away to the Navan fairgrounds and then cancelled in early 2016. “It’s been very impressive to see so many different corners of the community come together,” said Adam Polka, the director of communications for Orléans Canada Day. “It’s pretty clear that Orléans was ready to get Canada Day back.” The barbecue festival and craft beer tent will open at Petrie Island on Friday and run through Sunday. The barbecue festival, organized by the team who put together Orléans Ribfest, will run alongside the beer tent June 30 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., all day Canada Day, and July 2 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. While the food and beer will be served for a whole weekend, the entertainment and fireworks will be on July 1 as residents celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Polka said they are “sparing no expense”
when it comes to putting on the fireworks show which will start at 10 p.m. Entertainment will start at 11 a.m. that day, with a Carivibe DJ party kicking things off. The KidZone will be open until 5 p.m., with the official opening ceremony at 1 p.m. Concerts from Ottawa artists including Wise Young and King, Capital Beetles, and headliner Tribe Royal will carry the party through to the fireworks when the Carivibe DJ party will return to the stage.
“We’ve got a really nice family-friendly schedule, combined with a great foodie and beer schedule,” Polka said. OC Transpo is free on Canada Day and a shuttle service will be offered until 8 p.m. from the Trim Road park-and-ride and the Orléans La Cité Collegiale campus. The shuttle will resume after the fireworks. Reserved accessible parking is available on the island and VIP passes are for sale for $100, which includes food for four people and a parking pass.

tivity area with games for children of all ages. The Kidz Zone stage will host child friendly acts and a four-day midway held from June 29 to July 2 has
games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone Gym Area. Kidz Zone activities include bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot crafts, circus workshop and many more. The gym area will run between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will consist of interactive events hosted by groups, businesses and athletes from the area. Olympic hurdler Sekou Kaba and Olympian Kashani Thomas will host seminars on their respective sports. Taekwondo world champion Kayla Maduk will be there to speak about her Believe project and the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts will be holding demonstrations as well. Activities will also include multicultural expression in the form of song, dance, language and dress. All of this will be
found on the Multi-Cultural Stage. Food from many different cultures will also be present. All of this, according to Canada Day Barrhaven Inc., is to illustrate the growing diversity in Barrhaven. According to president Darrell Bartraw, the gym area idea was born from the athletic groups who were interested in being a part of the multicultural celebrations. Instead the idea for an interactive, fitness-based section was conceived and added to the Kidz Zone. Other new additions to the celebration include a classic car show and also performances by live, local bands on stage on June 30 for a pre-Canada Day celebration. On the morning of July 1 at 8 a.m. V!VA Retirement Community will be hosting a seniors breakfast hosted by city Coun. Jan Harder. The day will end will a fireworks display.

Hospitals at the ready for Canada Day BY Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Ahead of Ottawa’s biggest bash of the year, the Ottawa Hospital is already prepared for a surge in reported sexual assaults. “In mass gatherings, there’s robust evidence to show that the rates of sexual assaults and violence unfortunately increase significantly,” said Dr. Andrew Willmore, medical director of emergency management, and emergency physician with the Ottawa Hospital. “On top of our 24/7 staffing, we have two layers of on-call personnel trained to come in should we need and that’s certainly the case for Canada Day.” A 2013 case study, called Characteristics associated with sexual assaults at mass gatherings, revealed an increased proportion of sexually assaulted patients is associated with mass gatherings around Canada Day, university frosh week, Halloween and New Year’s Eve. The nature of the assaults is different — the assailant was only known to the victim about
one-third of the time, patients are younger and there’s more likely to be alcohol or drug consumption. The majority of cases the hospital will see around Canada Day are linked to environmental exposure — sunburns, heat exhaustion and dehydration, Willmore said. Then there are patients visiting from out of town who have forgotten their medications and experience complications from that. Released on June 22, a new report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that alcohol leads to more hospitalizations than heart attacks in Canada. That includes patients who are hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, alcohol withdrawal or liver disease caused by alcohol. According to the report, an average of 212 Canadians were hospitalized each day last year for conditions entirely caused by alcohol; however, that doesn’t include the number of people treated in emergency departments who were not ultimately admitted.
Hospitals are also preparing for what could be an increased number of trauma patients and are working closely with Canadian Blood Services to make sure enough blood is available, if needed. Currently, the organization is asking for donors to step up before Canada Day because there is a “critical need.” The response by each Ottawa area hospital to major events in the capital is centrally co-ordinated through a hospital emergency preparedness working group, including one struck especially for Canada Day. The group works closely with the city to make sure everyone is working together. “It’s a strange job, emergency management. We are constantly working in hypotheticals,” Willmore said, adding the work continues year-round, not just around big events. At CHEO, there will be an increase in patients on July 1, but Dr. Mélissa Langevin, an emergency physician and a representative of the hospital’s emergency preparedness committee, said it’s usually proportionate to any time
Canada Day: When more animals need us than any other day. The OHS is just a few days away from its the busiest day of the year: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into the OHS. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. And the 150th celebration means this year there will be more and bigger fireworks displays than we have seen in 50 years. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at the shelter.
Bo (ID# A200837)
Bo (ID# A200837) Meet Bo, a handsome and energetic boy looking for his new best friend. Bo is an active dog who loves to explore the outdoors, whether on walks, runs, hikes or even just playing in the yard — he never passes up the chance to get a healthy dose of exercise! Bo gets along great with canine friends but would prefer a feline-free home. Bo would benefit from an adult family who will help him learn lots of new tricks. Bo is currently participating in our LEAD (Leadership Education with Adolescents & Dogs) obedience training program and his adoption can’t be finalized until his last day of classes on July 2, but he’s available for viewing at the shelter in the meantime. For more information on Bo and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
Second, late-June, early-July is peak season for animals surrendered to the OHS by their owner. As holidays approach, and vacation plans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat doesn’t fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, the OHS can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to the shelter every single day! You can help make sure that animals are safe, fewer need OHS care, and those that do, find their way home or into a new loving home by taking the following steps and trying to ensure that your friends and neighbours do the same: 1. Keep pets indoors Canada Day. 2. Make sure pets have a visible collar and tag and a permanent microchip implant. 3. Plan for holidays for your pets. Help others care for their pets when away. 4. Ensure all pets are sterilized. 5. Adopt a homeless animal at the OHS. From everyone at the Ottawa Humane Society, have a safe and happy Canada Day!
there’s a population sell, such as on Boxing Day, or any other holiday weekend. “We’ll see in the evenings the effects of the evening parties, definitely. I would say we’ll see a handful more than you would on a normal night,” she said of patients suffering from the effects of drugs and alcohol. Similar to the Ottawa Hospital, CHEO will see more heat-
related illnesses and patients who are having trouble breathing. “One of the most important things is having people avoid the hospital who don’t need to come,” Langevin said. The Emergency Medical Assistance Team of Ontario will operate fully-functioning field hospitals near Parliament Hill during the July 1 celebration in order to reduce strain on area hospitals. It includes a triage area and treatment space.
Extra paramedics will also be deployed. “The City of Ottawa has done a really good job, and typically does with the Ottawa Paramedic Service,,” Langevin said. Willmore is confident the field hospitals will relieve some of the pressure. “Hopefully, it will end up being overkill and the volumes are quite low,” he said.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on June 14, 2017 established its intention to designate Macdonald Gardens Park at 99 Cobourg Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 99 Cobourg Street, Macdonald Gardens Park Description of Property – 99 Cobourg Street Macdonald Gardens Park is an urban park bounded by Tormey, Cobourg, Heney and Wurtemburg Streets and is identified as being of cultural heritage value. The park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Todd in 1914 and is located in Lowertown East. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Macdonald Gardens Park, an evolving cultural heritage landscape, is of cultural heritage value as a park designed by Frederick Todd, one of Canada’s early landscape architects, who planned many parks across the country. The park has evolved from a cemetery, to one of Ottawa’s early planned landscapes with winding paths, native trees and open spaces, and a stone summer house on top of a hill, and is now a recreational park. Macdonald Gardens Park is of historical value as an early project of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was established in 1899 to beautify the capital. The park also has historical value because it was constructed on the site of a former cemetery. Between the years 1845 and 1873 the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist and Roman Catholic churches used this site as the Sandy Hill cemeteries. Macdonald Gardens Park’s contextual value lies in its landmark setting within the Lowertown area and its prominently located summer house on a hill. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

MARY COOK Memories the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Company of Fools launches 15th season of outdoor plays Travelling troupe to visit parks from July 3-Aug.19 BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
This summer marks a special year for the well-known travelling theatre troupe, A Company of Fools. The organization will celebrate its 15th anniversary of the Fools’ Torchlight Shakespeare Series, which brings Shakespeare plays to parks across the city. For the special year, the company will perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream — a tale about a love triangle, a feuding king and queen and of course an enchanted forest — a perfect mix for this silly group of actors. FOR SALE
The show runs from July 3 to Aug. 19. All shows begin at 7 p.m. There is a special Canada Day preview show taking place outside of the city, at the fairgrounds in Merrickville. That show begins at 6 p.m. Established in 1990 as Ottawa’s original professional Shakespeare company, the theatre group does productions inside and out, and is most well-known for the travelling shows in city parks. The Company of Fools takes the seriousness of Shakespeare’s plays and has fun with it — with each actor playing multiple roles, incorporate slapstick and physical comedy aims to make this production a hilarious, fastpaced experience for the audience. There is also an interactive twist — which aims to give the audience a role as well.

The production will be directed by Mary Ellis, and will feature performances by Leslie Cserepy, Sarah Finn, Tamara Freeman, Catriona Leger, Geoff McBride, Andrew Moore, Mitchel Rose and Mahalia Golnosh Tahririha.

To incorporate Canada’s 150th, the production will travel back in time to an era similar to that of the Victorian age, all while mixing it up with some familiar elements of the 21st Century. The summer fun will begin in Sandy Hill’s Strathcona Park on July 3. Theatre goers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs. The shows are free, with a pass-the-hat donation at the end of the production. The suggested donation is $20. A full list of the company’s performances is available at fools.ca. FOR SALE

Flotilla fun
Erin McCracken/Metroland
The Ottawa Rowing Club celebrated its 150th anniversary during the Kitchissippi Flotilla, during which 150 athletes took to the Ottawa River on June 17. The event saw the athletes travel from Parliament Hill to the prime minister’s residence, and there were also old-fashioned games, a pancake brunch and the christening of a new racing shell.

Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments For secondary dwelling units (coach houses) In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties within Ottawa’s rural area. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 of the Official Plan to allow a greater degree of flexibility for caoch houses which are privaelty serviced. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to adjust the performance standards which implement coach houses as a permitted residentail land use in the City of Ottawa. Changes to Section 142 will provide a greater degree of flexibility to allow coach houses on lots which are privatley serviced. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-17-0012) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-17-0059). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or go to the City’s online Development Application Search Tool at www.ottawa.ca. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by July 24th, 2017. 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.

Pineview to take part in Orléans fall Harvest Moon celebration September event brings together community associations BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Orléans community associations have announced plans for a giant Canada 150 event to be held in September at Barrington Park in Orléans. Harvest Moon will be held on Sept. 9 at the Orléans park, with fireworks, garden and farming presentations, afternoon tea, a sunset dance, food trucks, yoga in the park, and a kids zone. “It’s different, and we want to highlight that transi-
tion of seasons and celebrate the end of the summer,” said Blackburn Community Association president Laura Dudas. The Chapel Hill South, Chapel Hill North, Bradley Estates, Pineview, and Chateauneuf community associations will join the Blackburn group to host the event. Dudas said the organizations have been meeting for two years to talk about how to celebrate Canada 150. Plans for a Canada Day celebration were nixed when it was announced that Canada Day would return to Petrie Island. They decided to run an event with more complementary timing. They received an $8,000 grant from the city to host
the event, funding which will be matched by the BCA. It made sense to do a joint event because everyone crosses over into each other’s communities, whether it’s to attend school, go shopping, or travel to work, Dudas said. Volunteers with the various community associations are still meeting and finalizing a schedule for the day, but more volunteers are still needed. Dudas encouraged anyone from any other community association or who lives in the area to get involved with the celebration. Anyone who wants to volunteer can email ottawaeastvolunteers@gmail.com or call Dudas at 613-282-4139 for more information.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
