Residents rally to stop shelter move into Vanier BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
With multiple petitions popping up in Vanier, one thing is clear – residents are not happy with the idea of the Salvation Army moving its shelter to Montreal Road. The Salvation Army announced on June 21 that it would close its George Street shelter in the ByWard Market and open a new facility in Vanier at 333 Montreal Rd. The plan is to house not only a shelter at the new location, but also offer a number of programs and services, including increasing the beds for longer stay clients. Since hearing the news for the first time, some residents in Vanier have not been happy. Taking first to Facebook, it was clear the thought of a shelter did not sit well. Postings stated the neighbourhood already has its challenges with fighting drugs, sex workers and johns. “The Vanier area already has issues with crime, gangs, drugs, arson, poverty, prostitution, graffiti and panhandling and

The Salvation Army has submitted plans on June 22 to the city to redevelop its thrift store at 333 Montreal Rd. in Vanier to be its new shelter and programming location in Ottawa’s downtown. does not need the added stress of a massive Salvation Army shelter,” Drew Dobson wrote on petitions24.com. Dobson started the petition, Stop the Salvation Army Shelter from Moving to Vanier, on June 22. Owner of Finnigan’s Pub in Vanier, Dobson voiced his concern about the move. “Over the past decade the streets of Vanier have improved,” Dobson said. “This
move of the Salvation Army shelter will eliminate all of the improvements made to the Vanier area over the past decade and quality of life of the people living and working in the area will suffer.” The petition had garnered more than 450 signatures by June 30. And Dobson’s petition isn’t the only one. Another group of concerned residents dubed VanierUnite!
has created a petition on Change.org, entitled Save Our Community. This petition, created June 25, had more than 250 signatures as of June 30. Since finding out news of the planned move, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he's not happy with the idea of moving the shelter to Vanier. Fleury said although the news from Salvation Army comes with good aspects – that the organization is investing $50 million to create a proper facility and shelter for homelessness, the news also comes at a cost to Vanier – a neighbourhood he said does not need any more challenges. Fleury issued a statement on June 22 requesting that the Savation Army halt its development application until further sites could be discussed. He said he is hopeful the Salvation Army is open to discussion. When contacted about the councillor’s request, Glenn van Gulik, public relations director for the Salvation Army, said the plan is to move to Vanier.
gaged,” Fleury said. Fleury added he hopes all those who signed the petition remain engaged – as he feels numbers will be needed to change the plans. Fleury will host a meeting with the community – the Salvation Army will not be invited – to discuss residents concerns. That meeting is planned for July 10 at the Richelieu-Vanier Community Service Centre during the evening – the time has not yet been set, and residents are encouraged to reach out to the councillor for more details.
“We are committed to moving forward through the planning proposal process for 333 Montreal Rd.,” van Gulik said. “We have already begun consultations in the community and are working on expanding this further with the help of community leaders and other stakeholders.” Fleury applauded residents for their initiative to create the petitions. “Petitions work in the instance that those who sign the petition have the intent to get en-

On the ball: Ottawa’s Grey Cup Festival announced BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
Canada will be front and centre as the Grey Cup Festival comes to town in November. There will be live music and events leading up to the game, and all of them are Canadian. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced their plans on June 28 for the upcoming 105th Grey Cup. Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi were also on hand for the announcement, in fornt of more than 1,000 Redblacks season ticket holders. Musical cover acts performed songs by some
of the artists that will be at the Grey Cup Festival. Country music acts Jess Moskaluke, the Washboard Union, and J.J. Shiplett will perform Thursday, Nov. 23 at the arena at TD Place, followed by Sloan, Reuben and the Dark, and Dwayne Gretzky the following day. The day before the big game will have the most activities by far. Headlining the concert series are Canadian rock bands Trooper and April Wine along with over a dozen other events throughout the day. The Nissan Titan Street Festival and family fun zone will have activities for those of all ages, and the Ca-
nadian Football Hall of Fame will be on site with memorabilia from the last 105 years of Canadian football history. Because all CFL teams will be represented at the event and not just the Redblacks, groups from all over the league will hold events on Saturday. The Calgary Grey Cup Committee and the Spirit of Edmonton will be holding breakfasts for fans. Riderville and the Montreal Huddle will also be there for fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes respectively. Also on hand at the festivities at the Shaw Centre will be the Gridiron Gals, a clinic held

by coaches and players from the CFL for ladies who want to take part in some of the drills and strategy of football. Naqvi, clad in his own Redblacks jersey, was on hand to show his and the government of Ontario’s support. “I’m really excited we’re hosting the Grey Cup Festival,” said Naqvi. “I think it’s going to be a great part of an amazing year in our city where all the celebrations are taking place and it’s an amazing opportunity for us to celebrate Canadian Football, to celebrate our team, and, of course, celebrate Canada’s 150th. I’m also very excited that the government of Ontario is a big partner in this Grey Cup Festival.” “This will be, I believe, only the seventh time the Grey Cup has been held in Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “We’re not just going to have an amazing game, we’re going to have an amazing week of Grey Cup activities. Lansdowne has turned out to be a great success. We’re really proud to be hosting.” In a report released June

Former Redblacks Henry Burris and Moton Hopkins show off the Grey Cup and their championship rings at an OSEG event announcing the events at the upcoming Grey Cup Festival. Burris will be making his way overseas with the Grey Cup for Canada Day. 28, OSEG reported a financial loss for 2016 despite a 41 per cent increase of attendance at Lansdowne over the previous year. Those losses are primarily linked to interest rates on loans for the construction of
Lansdowne, so it is expected to be a temporary issue as they pay down the principal on those loans. The boost of cash from the Grey Cup event could potentially alleviate some of those losses.

It’s time to support this: Fortier Continued from page 1
Bélanger, diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in November 2015, died on Aug. 16, 2016. After a year of debate and many proposals for amendments and sub-amendments to the bill, on June 22 the Senate adjourned until September without a final vote on it. Bélanger’s successor, OttawaVanier MP Mona Fortier, said she isn’t pleased there was no final vote on the bill. “I find that it's very disappointing that we are not moving forward with a vote, and that we are using procedural tricks and game-playing to not go forward with it,” Fortier said. On June 19, Sen. David Wells proposed a sub-amendment to Sen. Lynn Beyak’s proposed amendment that if the bill should pass, it would not come into effect until after July 1. Wells’ sub-amendment replaced July 1 with Sept. 1. “Colleagues, I will be proposing a sub-amendment to Sen. Beyak's amendment, but I wanted to make it clear why I was doing that, and that was the essence
of my speech. I don't think this bill should pass. One thing we can do, as I said, is delay. I know I can't delay this forever, nor can I do anything single-handedly in here," Wells said in the Senate. Fortier said she wishes the bill could just pass, noting the House of Commons supported the bill more than a year ago. “It’s hard, it's not just because Mauril brought it, he pushed it and did great due diligence, but the fact that he passed away. It makes it hard it's not going forward,” she said, adding that she thinks this bill would be a great legacy for a man who worked as a parliamentarian for 21 years. The goal for Bélanger had always been to have the anthem reflect the gender neutral changes for July 1, 2017. Fortier, who has many times referred to Bélanger as her mentor, said she supports the bill and the change to make the English version of the anthem gender neutral. “Hopefully it will be supported in the fall; we are still in 2017,” Fortier said. “July 1 was the objective, but there is still an opportunity to celebrate the anthem.”
O Canada was proclaimed as Canada’s national anthem in 1980, one century after it was first sung, in 1880. According to the government of Canada’s website, while the song’s English lyrics changed over the years, no changes have been made to the anthem since the National Anthem Act in 1980. Fortier said if Bélanger’s bill fails to pass, she will consider proposing a new private member’s bill to make the anthem gender neutral. “If it fails, it's something that is dear to my heart, Mauril worked on it and the party supported it,” Fortier said. “The only issue is, if we did it again, would it be the same story again?” Fortier said she would have to evaluate what happened and what it would take to make the bill come into effect. “I think I would think of Mauril a lot,” she said. “But, it's not just Mauril’s bill, it’s a Canadian bill. I think Mauril worked very hard, and demonstrated his arguments, and I think it's time. It's time to support and to move on and celebrate it.”

Community comes together to give Rideau High grads prom ers say it was pretty much all planned in the span of 10 days. “There were 60 kids graduating this year, and they couldn’t afford the $120 just for the ticket to attend a prom with five other schools,” said Rideau High mom Sara Bernard. Bernard and her husband, Peter Gareau, quickly reached out to the community to see who could help organize a prom in a matter of days. “The community at large has been so supportive,” Gareau said. “There is no way I

could have done this alone.” Gareau headed the school’s parent council, and fought hard to keep the school open when the Ottawa Carleton District School Board began an east accommodation review, looking to close one of three high schools in the east end. In the end, the board voted to close Rideau and after the school’s June 28 prom the doors were to be closed to high school students for good. This last party, Gareau said, was for those students. “It’s the end of the year, it’s the end of the school, why not let them have fun?” he said. Gareau’s employer, the Governor’s Walk Retirement Residence, helped wrangle in all the donations and help. “I don’t think I would have been able to have done any of this if I didn’t have an understanding and amazing employer,” Gareau said. Those helping with the decorations and planning included former Rideau High alumni. Gareau said he has also received hundreds of texts and emails from former students, some who
don’t even live in the province anymore. “I’ve received money donations from across Canada,” he said. Overall, more than a dozen local businesses helped out, either by donating outright or by offering huge discounts so the prom could go ahead. In the end, the volunteers managed to not only transform the front hall of the school, but also turned the library into a banquet hall – complete with a lit dance floor and music. Gareau said earlier in the day, it was iffy if all the planning was going to result in the full transformation, but in the end, the Rideau High community came through. “People just showed up out of the blue all day,” Gareau said. Of the many things donated and purchased for the students, it included jewelry for the girls. The girls also had their hair and makeup done by volunteers. As Grade 12 student Asha Dahir Hassan was applying her makeup in the school’s drama room, she said she was really looking forward to the night.
Fifteen of her fellow classmates also were taking the opportunity to apply their makeup at the school. Overall, the night was truly gearing up to be one to remember, Bernard said. Photos from the evening will be posted on the Governor’s Walk website. Bernard said the plan is to create a digital booklet for each of the prom attendants as a keepsake. “There was no money for a yearbook, so this is our way to give them one,” she said. KEEPING RIDEAU
Although residents say they have lost the battle in keeping Rideau open as a high school, they still feel they have not lost the war. The community formed the Friends of Rideau High, a group aimed at turning the high school into a community hub. Rideau Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre is leading the charge for the proposal which was presented to the school board’s committee of the

whole on June 20. The purpose is to bring together health, social, recreation and life-long learning and community engagement services to the school site. The resource centre has managed to bring together a number of other community organizations looking for space. Some of those organizations looking to participate in this community hub include the Odawa Native Friendship Centre, Équipe de santé familiale communautaire de l’Est d’Ottawa, Roberts/Smart Centre and youturn Youth support services, Social Planning Council of Ottawa. A member of the group, Overbrook resident Sheila Perry, said this model is based off of the success of another shared space nonprofit organization, Heartwood House. Perry added that Ottawa needs more community hubs like the one they are proposing. The next steps for the resource centre’s proposal will be to present a business plan to the school board in the fall of 2017.
Geography and Exploration Pavilion officially opens BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Visitors to Ottawa and Ottawans alike will have a unique opportunity to engage with the National Capital Commission this summer. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society partnered with the NCC last year to repurpose the space at 50 Sussex Dr. into the Geography and Exploration Pavilion. The organizations officially opened the pavilion on June 28. From June 29 to Sept. 30, the Geographical Society will host two exhibits. The main floor will feature The Plan for Canada’s Capital, 2017 — 2067: A Place for Canadians exhibit. This exhibit includes interactive opportunities to familiarize visitors with the NCC and explain its role in the capital. The exhibit will showcase the NCC’s planning, conservation, and development of the National Capital Region, and will focus on the NCC’s plan for federal lands in the region over the course of the next 50 years. “The National Capital Commission is proud to partner
with The Royal Canadian Geographical Society to revive 50 Sussex Dr. as the Geography and Exploration Pavilion during Canada’s sesquicentennial,” said Mark Kristmanson, chief executive officer of the NCC. All visitors will have a chance to provide feedback on the 50year plan. The second floor of the pavilion will display the work of Alex Janvier, Thirteen Moons. The work is on loan to the society. “The works of Alex Janvier and the exhibit on the Plan for Canada’s Capital will provide visitors with a unique experience in the picturesque heart of the nation’s capital,” Kristmanson said. PAVILIONS
The Geography and Exploration Pavilion is one of 10 Confederation Pavilions marking Canada’s 150th anniversary. According to the NCC, more than 32,000 visitors attended the Confederation Pavilions across the region. Along with the Geography and Exploration Pavilion, the
NCC’s Confederation Pavilions are: • The Winter Pavilion at Rideau Hall • The International Pavilion (presented by 10 diplomatic missions) • The Pioneer Pavilion at The Log Farm • The Global Centre for Pluralism Pavilion • The Kabenishinân Minitig (Victoria Island) Pavilion • The Modern Architecture Pavilion at the Strutt House • The Ecology and Urban Agriculture Pavilion at the Moore Farm Estate • The Author’s Pavilion at the Charron House • The Canadiana Pavilion at O’Brien House The pavilions are meant to be a collection of architecturally and historically significant buildings that were transformed by the NCC partnering with other organizations. Formally the Canada and World Pavilion, the property, between Rideau River falls and the Ottawa River, has been vacant since 2005 when the exhibition hall was closed.

Geographical Society. The new centre will include a 210-seat auditorium with multiple screens to serve as a state-ofthe-art, multi-purpose venue for lectures, film screenings, conferences, and similar events. The aim will be to celebrate the physical and human geography of Canada, with a particular emphasis on the geography of Canada’s Capital
Region. The fully-refurbished building will open in April 2018 as the headquarters of the RCGS. As the new headquarters, the centre will also be the public face of the RCGS, a non-profit organization founded in 1929 that aims to make Canada better known to Canadians and the world.

Graduates have what it takes
Last week was high school graduation time. Mortarboards and gowns, that traditional graduation garb, set the fashion trend for the week as Grade 12 graduates at every high school strode and received a secondary school diploma from a principal, vice-president or teacher, with beaming smiles all around. These smiles were not only on the stage, but throughout the audience, on the faces of proud teachers, parents, family members and friends of the graduates. These secondary school graduation diplomas represent more than just the successful completion of 14 years of schooling, starting with junior kindergarten and continuing through to Grade 12. Quite simply, these diplomas represent the future. You only had to be at one of these high school graduation ceremonies to appreciate not only the accomplishments of these graduates to date, but also the unprecedented opportunities which await them in the coming years. Whether they are off to university, college or the world of work, these graduates have before them endless possibilities for further personal growth and additional learning. Whether it is in nursing, law, social work, interior decorating, software development, animation, marketing, engineering, construction or any other field of endeavour, these young graduates have been armed with all of the tools necessary to succeed in their chosen pathway. But more than this, this generation of graduates has
developed a sense of social justice and community volunteering that will ensure a future that is not only more compassionate, but more participatory. That’s because the high school education of today goes beyond just the "three R’s" and the curriculum. In high school, youth get to know about taking responsibility for this world of ours, for preserving it and for making it a better place to live, work and play. They get to know how to do this in part thanks to the clubs and extracurricular activities in which they participate in their high school years. But they also know how to do this because, besides their learning, they have developed what it takes to succeed in today’s world — skills like collaboration, digital fluency, critical thinking, resiliency, perseverance and empathy. They are globally aware. They respect and accept others for who they are. They are ready to make a difference in the world, not only with their learning, but also with who they have become on their journey through the education system to date. This all gives so much hope, not only for where society is headed in the future, but also for seeing how our goals and aspirations as a country of communities are going to be realized. It will all happen because of these young people who this past week strode across a stage to receive a secondary school diploma. They have what it takes to take us to the next level as a country and as a society. We can’t wait for it to happen!
There's something to be said for team sports
S
o, the kids are out of school — at loose ends — complaining about being bored, while you try to figure out how to keep them away from screens. It’s an age-old dilemma, although there are a lot more screens than there used to be. Myself, I’d get them into team sports. Yes, they went out of fashion some time ago, when lots of people decided that competition was an ugly thing — and indeed it can be, when carried to extremes. That goes for life, not to mention politics, as well as baseball. One of our great national heroes, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was not a team sports guy. Dubbed a “single-combat warrior” by the great Canadian journalist Richard Gwyn, Trudeau preferred judo and canoeing to baseball, although he was knowledgeable about
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the latter. But, times change and the pendulum swings back. A more contemporary Canadian hero, Barack Obama, was a team sports guy; a pickup basketball enthusiast. In our town, every available field has some team or another playing on it. There is a lot more soccer than there used to be, which partly reflects changing demographics and partly reflects economic practicalities: to outfit a soccer team, all you really need is a ball, although jerseys are nice. Many of those available fields
have baseball games going on, which reflects a bit of a comeback for the sport. The ugly days of major league strikes and steroid scandals are in the past, and the recent successes of the Toronto Blue Jays have stimulated a renewed interest in the sport. Baseball as big business has its faults. If you visit the Rogers Centre in Toronto to see the Blue Jays, you will be overwhelmed by the noise and commercialism and underwhelmed by the comfort of the seating. On a smaller scale, such as at RCGT Park in Ottawa — where the Ottawa Champions play — some of the age-old attractions of the game reappear. The grass is real, the fans are close to the action and the sounds of the game are not drowned out by electronic clatter. Add to this the small-scale charm of the minor leagues, cheesy between-

innings contests, the 50-50 draw. A new one on me is the Poutine Batter promotion, in which one opposition player is designated the Poutine Batter, and every time he comes to bat, the crowd has a chance at free poutine if he strikes out. Although this has the virtue of being a uniquely Canadian event, it seems a bit petty of us to be wishing ill on a player just because we’re hungry. One day I was there, the Poutine Batter was a member of the Cuban National Team called Juan Torriente. He disappointed the fans five times, although he got to two strikes twice, causing brief excitement. By contrast, on the smallest scale of baseball — the Little League diamonds — I didn’t hear anybody cheering for opposing players to strike out.

How did the goat get on the roof of Evelyn’s home?
MARY COOK
E
velyn wasn’t the most popular girl at the Northcote School. She wasn’t unpopular, either. She was just there, minding her own business, doing exactly what Miss Crosby asked of her, and always had her homework done, and her desk drawer in perfect order. Evelyn wasn’t much of a talker, either. So, although we knew her family as neighbours, I knew little about what Evelyn did at home. Did she play with dolls? Did she have a pet cat, or a pet chicken like I did? I knew she worked hard at the farm, an only child with no brothers to help with chores. But, what Evelyn did at home for fun, I didn’t know — until the day I was invited to her farm on a warm Saturday to play. I was thrilled beyond words. Finally, I would find out what my schoolmate did when she wasn’t at school. Like our farm, there was a long lane off the Northcote Side Road, and Father took me over in the buggy and dropped me off at the gate leading into the barnyard. Mother sent some sticky buns, as was the custom then. When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you. Evelyn was waiting for me at the gate, and she led me right to the kitchen to say hello to her mother and hand over the sticky buns. When we went outside, I was impressed to see that Evelyn had a playhouse, filled with a make-believe stove and real little table and chairs. This little playhouse was right outside the summer kitchen, and Evelyn said she often had her lunch out there, which to me was right up there with a trip to the movies on a Saturday night. Imagine, eating your lunch in your very own little playhouse. Then, Evelyn looked up at the summer kitchen roof, and in a voice that sounded as mad as a hatter’s, yelled at the top of her lungs, “Buster, you get off that roof this minute.” There, on the very top of the summer kitchen, was a goat — almost the size of a pony. It just glared down at Evelyn, stomped its front foot, and looked like it defied anyone brave enough to challenge it. How it got on the roof was beyond me. “You heard me, Buster. Get off the roof.” She grabbed a branch on the ground, which looked to me like it was always at hand to deal with the goat, which seemed to have a mind of its own. She swung the branch over her head in the air. “He’s already torn the shingles off one side of the house, and my father said if I couldn’t control him, he was going to sell him to the butcher in Renfrew.” Well, Buster either knew of the threat over his head or he didn’t trust Evelyn with the branch. He made one
Memories leap and landed on all fours in front of us. Then, he turned his back on Evelyn, made a snort and kicked her with his back feet, sending her sprawling — and then the chase was on. The two of them tore around the barnyard like two maniacs in a race for survival. Every time Evelyn got near Buster, he raised his hind legs and defied her to come any closer. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time Buster and Evelyn met horns. Finally, Buster ran toward a back field, and Evelyn very carefully put the branch right back where it was when the fight began, ready for the next challenge with the goat. I asked Evelyn how Buster got onto the roof. She said she had no idea, and neither did anyone else. No one knew
how he managed the leap, and she lost count of the times the goat did it. She thought he took a running leap when no one was around, and her father said the goat was too smart for its own good, and if one more shingle was ever seen on the ground, Buster would be taking the trip into Renfrew in the truck. During my short visit, I heard that Evelyn’s pet cat never left the barn since one day Buster kicked it about 10 feet into the air. I asked her if she considered Buster a pet. We were eating cookies in her playhouse. “I did when he was little. But, not anymore. And if he gives me one more kick like that last one, I’ll help Pop load him into the truck myself.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Proud to serve our community! Summer is finally upon us. Although school is over, it is never too early to think about next year. If you have a high school graduate in your household pondering about college or university’s affordability, or if you yourself would like to embark on postsecondary education, you will be happy to know that the government of Ontario is offering a reformed student assistance program, OSAP. From now on, students whose annual family income is less than $ 50,000 will be entitled to free tuition. If the family income exceeds this amount, they will still be able to benefit from substantial scholarships and grants proportional to their income in order to make college or university studies much more affordable. I invite you to go online at www.ontario.ca/osap and use the new calculator to quickly determine how much financial assistance you or your child is eligible for — which may be more than they expect. For example, the OSAP calculator shows that if you are a single parent, have three children and earn $60,000, you are eligible for grants totalling more than $16,000 — making tuition free if you decide to attend college. OSAP is available to everyone, adult single students, married students, students with children, dependent students and single independent students. Students with children may also be eligible to receive funding for child care costs. Average tuition will be free for more than 150,000 students and about 80 per cent of all OSAP recipients will graduate with less provincial debt. Currently, students from the lowest-income families are about four times less likely to go on to postsecondary education than those from the highest-income families. That’s a lot of wasted potential. The OSAP reforms aim to ensure that everyone can achieve her or his potential and that Ontario can count of the talents of all of its residents. Removing financial barriers to higher learning and making postsecondary education more affordable is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
Fair Workplaces Better Jobs
Ontario is taking historic action to create more opportunity and security for workers through the proposed Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act. This includes raising the minimum wage to $14 per hour on January 1, 2018, and $15 per hour on January 1, 2019, followed by annual increases at the rate of inflation. The government’s proposals would also ensure that part-time workers are paid the same hourly wage as full-time workers for doing the same job, make employee scheduling fairer and expand personal emergency leave so all employees receive at least 10 days per year, including two days of paid leave. The Ministry of Labor will hold public hearings in Ottawa on July 12 to hear what enterprises and individuals have to say on the many reforms proposed in the bill.

Residents get answers about new Civic campus BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
The new Civic campus will include towers. At a community consultation on June 20, Ottawa Hospital executive vice-president and chief operating officer Cameron Love told a crowd of about 30 a bit about what it might look like at the Sir John Carling site that’s part of the Central Experimental Farm. David Darwin, who lives in Carlington, where the meeting was held, questioned why the hospital would consider building out instead of up. With new developments with towers planned close to the site, Darwin said it would “complement the area” while also preserving some of the green space on the site. “There’s no question,” Love said in response. “There will be towers.” How high they go, he said mentioning a hypothetical 10 to 14 storeys, will depend on how many beds the new campus needs and the services that are chosen for the new campus. Right now, as part of Phase 1 of the planning for the new facility, what needs to be decided is which programs and services will be offered in the building. In order to do that, the hospital is looking at each of its campuses — Civic, Riverside and General — to see what makes the most sense and putting it there. For example, Love said, it makes sense for the General to take more of the cancer services and care.
When Phil Bartlett took a look at the site breakdown for the health care centre, he noticed there was about as much land dedicated to parking — 15 to 20 acres (six to eight hectares) for an estimated 3,400 spaces — as for the buildings, of about 25 acres (10 hectares). “For me, this would be more well received if parking plans were condensed,” he said. Parking will be a big issue for the community as the project moves forward, said River Coun. Riley Brockington after the meeting. “I think that will be a major issue — how will the Civic accommodate their parking needs and the needs of the whole community,” he said. With the hospital taking over land that is now a parking lot that’s used
when there are events at Dow’s Lake, the parking strategy will have to look at how to accommodate visitors to the nearby area as well. The hospital is still working with Public Services and Procurement Canada on the details of the 99-year lease. Love said he hopes to have the lease signed by Christmas of this year. “If the whole process is 1,000 steps, we are in the first five to 10,” Love said during a quick presentation. Love addressed questions about integration with the community, the plans for the Heart Institute, consultations and what happens to the current building. Love said the Heart Institute must be integrated into the new hospital in the future and a transition plan needs to be sorted out, but in terms of

ers, patients and families will need to be part of the development of the new facility. Patients and families will help shape what Love described as a significant part of the new hospital. The plan includes about seven acres (about three hectares) of wellness space. While no concrete plans have been made, as the design of the hospital won’t be unveiled until Stage 3 of planning. Getting answers to some of the big questions around the hospital’s relocation was helpful for residents, Brockington said, adding he plans to host this kind of meeting annually. “We’ll be back. We’ll be back a lot. The community has great questions and great ideas,” Love said.
what’s next for the current hospital, it’s not top of mind. “I’ve not thought anything about it,” Love said, adding there have been a lot of suggestions, pointing to the need for more long-term care or acute care for the elderly. In the fall, the hospital will receive a report from an external group detailing an engagement framework. It will advise the hospital on the best way to engage the public, and the hospital plans to use it to plan its engagement strategy. The province requires a certain minimum level of consultation. The hospital is a large urban community development project, Love said. As a result, neighbourhood associations, hospital staff, health care provid-

Best foot forward BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurrya@metroland.com
For three local residents, joining together to create a line of funky men’s socks was a step in the right direction. And it all started when Thomas Woods was getting married. He was looking for some socks to match the fuchsia of the bridesmaid dresses. “I wanted some funky socks,” Woods said. But he was having trouble finding a perfect match. Searching them out started a bit of an obsession because after the wedding, he collected about 70 pairs. For his birthday or holidays, he’d look forward to receiving new designs from his wife and family. But like any missing sock, they weren’t easy to find. Less than three years later, Woods put his best foot forward and with the help of his wife Jessica Wright and friend Bassam Saeed launched Uptown Sox. Together, the trio hit its stride. Wright works on the designs and website, Woods is hitting the streets to get the product into
stores and Saeed’s watching over the accounting. “Now everyone is getting socks from me,” Woods said, adding he’s converted more than a few friends from wearing plain black socks to some vibrant patterns. Woods, who grew up in Bayshore and now lives in Westboro, has been talking about starting his own business since he was a teenager. Uptown Sox now has 22 designs available online after adding about a half dozen this spring and will launch another dozen or so in September. Since the launch, Uptown Sox has made its way into more than 14 stores, including Fancy Sox in the Rideau Centre and District Apparel on Wellington West. Woods is also reaching out to help others by donating pairs to the mission and local sock drives. And with a prime minister who’s known to wear a fun pair of socks matching the occasion, Woods is hoping Uptown Sox might make its way to Parliament Hill. A special pair for Canada’s 150th has been especially popular as the city celebrates the milestone. Featur-

Thomas Woods, co-founder and director of client relations and sales for Uptown Sox shows off the Canada 150 socks. The local company launched last fall and added some special socks for Canada’s 150th. ing the Peace Tower, some furry creatures and some hockey-playing silhouettes, the socks have been an instant hit, Woods said. “We’re hoping to grow the business from the socks up,” Woods said, adding eventually he’s hoping to get into other men’s accessories and clothing.

You helped at the dinner table with every math problem, even the ones you did get yourself. You hugged them at their first heartbreak. You were filled with pride at graduation.
You hurt as they moved away from home and then beamed as you walked them down the aisle. You were moved when you held your first grandchild for the first time.

Social isolation of seniors a real concern A few years ago, a friend of ours was contemplating a move out of the home she’d lived in for more than 35 years. It was a lot to care for the place. Her children, in their 60s and on the verge of retirement themselves, urged her to look into a seniors’ home. “I can’t move into a seniors’ home,” she said. “I’m too young to hang out with that crowd.” She was 88 at the time. Despite having suffered some hearing and vision loss due to age, she was in good overall health. Every day she would walk for fitness. Having lost her driver’s licence due to her eyesight degeneration, she walked to appointments, the grocery store and to visit friends, most of whom were in care homes. She had regular appointments at the National Arts Centre and various galas as well, among the reasons she eventually moved into a con-

...researchers note that ”the No. 1 emerging issue facing seniors in Canada is keeping older people socially connected and active.” do closer to downtown. She often commented on how well she slept, which struck me as odd. It’s a proven fact that, as people age, their sleep deteriorates, and yet here was an octogenarian frequently saying that she felt fresh after a good night’s sleep.
New research out of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania may help explain the connection between my friend’s good sleep and her active social life. Researchers there studied the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and found that social isola-
tion in that species contributes to sleep loss. The sleep deprived flies suffered cellular degeneration. Specifically, they found that cellular stress due to sleep deprivation activates a defence mechanism called the unfolded protein response (UPR), something that’s common among many species, including humans. “Although its short-term activation helps protect cells from stress, chronic activation can harm cells, long-term, harmful activation of the UPR is suspected as a contributor to the aging process and to specific age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes," writes Science Daily. A report released last June by Canada’s National Seniors Council highlights the extensive economic and social costs borne by all Canadians when seniors are isolated. In “Report on the Social Isolation of Seniors,” researchers note that “the No. 1 emerging
issue facing seniors in Canada is keeping older people socially connected and active.” Although social isolation is different from loneliness, the authors report that a lack of social interactions can contribute to depression and greater feelings of loneliness among seniors, even when they’re in the company of others. It’s estimated that one quarter of Canadian seniors live with depression. Social isolation also puts seniors at risk of negative health behaviours including drinking, smoking, being sedentary and not eating well. The National Seniors Council Report notes that seniors who are socially isolated “have a higher likelihood of falls; and, have a four-to-five times greater risk of hospitalization” than those who are more socially active. “Research also indicates that social isolation is a predictor of mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke.”
There are a number of things that contribute to seniors’ isolation. In rural areas, a lack of public transport and poor Internet connections leave many older people unable to connect with their communities. And while we often think the answer is installing seniors into care homes, this doesn’t appear to diminish feelings of isolation. More than 40 per cent of seniors living in residential care homes exhibit symptoms of depression on a regular basis, nearly one-third more than the average. I know from experience that, with a busy family life, managing our own work and social schedules can be trying. The seniors are often easily forgotten. With Canada’s over-65 population now outnumbering children for the first time since Confederation, however, we all have a responsibility to ensure the elders in our lives are respected as valuable contributors to our society.

Henderson hopes to win trophy before hometown crowd BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club community in August. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition. In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have
been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the major LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” said Henderson, who won the prestigious Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan on June 18 and will next defend her title at the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Chicago June 27 to July 2. The pro golfer will have “a rare” two weeks off in the lead-up to the Canadian Women's Open, which drew 96 of the world’s top 100 women golfers in 2016. This year, 156 golfers will compete for the coveted trophy at the Ottawa club.
Henderson plans to spend that downtime practising at ‘the Ottawa Hunt,’ as the private club is known locally. “Winning (the) Canadian Open would be extremely special and probably the most meaningful event for me out on tour,” she said. During the preview, Henderson was joined by Kane in a skills competition, during which they chipped balls at targets to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the 2017 Canadian Women’s Open's charity of choice.

Upon a request from the two schools and Boys & Girls Club and after a public consultation, an online survey, several emails and a partial redesign, our McArthur Avenue transformation is all set for the construction phase. We wanted to make this traditional main street feel friendlier, and, most importantly, safer. Two years ago, we started the process to reduce the speed of vehicles using this corridor by defining the school zones with signage, paint and speed boards and then encouraging local businesses to remove the outdated on-street parking restrictions. After public consultation on March 8, and feedback from an online questionnaire, we are moving forward with phase two. Phase two includes reducing the number of vehicular travel lanes and introducing on street cycle lanes. Where on-street parking is being proposed, there will be a precast concrete curbs separating the bike lane from the parking lane. In some cases there will be a planter signifying the beginning of a parking section. The new road configuration will provide a curb side cycling lane on both sides of McArthur Avenue along the entire corridor. The goal is to address speeding concerns and increase comfort and safety of all road users. Following strong requests from residents to have the cycling lane beside the sidewalk, parking protect cycling lanes were introduced along the entire corridor where parking is being proposed. The parked cars, planters and pincurbs will provide a protective barrier for cyclists in order to improve comfort and safety. Construction for this project will begin later this summer with a duration of about two months. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact my team at 613-580-2482 or Mathieu.fleury@ottawa.ca.

Notice of Completion Baseline Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Class Environmental Assessment Class Environmental Assessment Study Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of a stormwater management (SWM) pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond was identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro SWM Retrofit Study (P/W Study), completed in 2011. The P/W Study was completed as a Master Plan under the Municipal Class EA process, identifying a preferred SWM retrofit plan composed of multiple projects. Prior to implementation, individual infrastructure projects recommended in the retrofit plan are required to complete additional Class EA requirements. For the Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond, the process for a “Schedule B” undertaking has been followed in accordance with the Municipal Class EA (2000), as amended 2007 and 2011. A Class EA Study report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, evaluation of pond options and the selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on July 6, 2017:

‘For my family, it’s a dream to be here’ Canada welcomes 150 new Canadians in citizenship ceremony BY JESSICA CUNHA
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Five days before Canada celebrates its sesquicentennial, 150 new Canadians celebrated their newly acquired citizenship. For the Lubuto-Bwira family, the June 26 ceremony marked the end of 14 years of statelessness. The family fled the Democratic Republic of the FOR SALE

Summer Safety for Pets
West Ottawa Living
Every year during the summer months, the Ottawa Humane Society gets hundreds of complaints relating to animals and hot weather. Here are a few tips to keep your companion animals safe this summer. • Never leave your dog in a hot car. • If your pet spends lots of time outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the sun/heat. Outside kennels need to be well ventilated and situated in shaded areas. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times. • On hotter days, monitor your pets activity and be careful to not over exert them. Watch for signs of heat stress, excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pets temperature by immersing his/her paws in cold water or hosing him/her down and call your veterinarian immediately. • When the heat and humidity rise, be especially careful with short-nosed dogs (pugs, bull-dogs, etc.) and older animals. Exercise your pets in the early morning and/or late evening to avoid the midday heat. • In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws – keep to the sidewalk or grass. • Shaving a hairy pet for the summer may seem like a good idea, but they can actually get a sunburn. Shave your pet at the beginning of the summer before it gets too hot. • In summer, mosquitoes are out in full force. Heartworm prevention medication is recommended and available. See your veterinarian for details. • Flea and tick prevention is important. See your veterinarian for more information. • When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container for the both of you. • Water should be refreshed/changed often, and the bowl should be kept in a cool shaded area.
