Fleury’s request denied by city's lawyer BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
According to the city’s top lawyer, the discussion for the Salvation Army’s
planning proposal should stay at the city’s planning committee. Rick O’Connor issued a memo on Nov. 2, responding to Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s request for the
Salvation Army’s development application to be considered at a joint meeting of the Planning and Community and Protective Services Committee. The Salvation Army is requesting
to move its George Street shelter to Montreal Road. Aside from creating a community hub, with the aim to offer multiple social services at the new Montreal Road application, the application also calls for a total 350 beds, with 140 short-term emergency stay beds. See PROPSAL, page 3

ble for issues relating to housing, parks, recreation, cultural programming, heritage, long-term care, social services, and emergency and protective services,” Fleury said. “It is taking everything literally without context,” he said. “It highlights the issue of governments and how they work in silos, and instead they should be working together with other groups.” The Salvation Army’s proposal will be discussed at planning committee starting on Nov. 14. Three days have been scheduled for the discussion, Nov. 14, 15 and if needed Nov. 17. In addition to the joint meeting being denied, O’Connor also issued a memo regarding a notice of motion Fleury introduced at a council on Oct. 25, requesting council reaffirm its support for the 2008 bylaw, which among other items, called for no shelters on a main street. “The fundamental question being asked is whether or not any of the recommendations approved by the 2006-2010 city council as part of the 2008 re-
port prohibit or impede approval of the staff recommendations in the Salvation Army Relocation report that will be before planning committee and council in the immediate future,” O’Connor’s memo said. O’Connor stated there is no legal impediment to council to consider and approve the Salvation Army’s proposal. “The current city council is not bound by the policy decisions or directions of a past council,” O’Connor states. To Fleury, responding to O’Connor’s memo, he feels it’s just one perspective and he personally doesn’t read the decision literally. “I think council could take it into consideration but in my mind, it’s clear the city does not believe it is anything but planning related, which I fundamentally disagree with,” Fleury said. Fleury added O’Connor doesn’t state anything new and he is not concerned this statement from the city’s legal department will impact councillors’ ability to make the right vote if the issue comes to council. “I don’t think this influ-

I am doing my work; I want the city, residents and everyone to have their eyes wide open. And I think it’s clear to council it’s beyond planning, I’m very confident, I’m not cocky, but the fight is not over. I’m not overly worried.” Fleury said the most important thing is for all Ottawa resi-
dents who are concerned about this development application to make sure their voice is heard at planning committee. “This is the time for people to come out,” Fleury said. “Please sign up to speak at committee.” Delegations will be taken until committee starts on Nov. 14.

Vanier builds case against Salvation Army proposal BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
For Vanier it's simple - a shelter does not belong on a main street. This in essence is what a group of residents have focused on since first learning of the Salvation Army's plans to build one of its biggest shelters in Canada at 333 Montreal Rd. Since August, the group formed individual working committees which divided the Salvation Army's proposal into 10 separate issues, focused on why Vanier and a 350-bed community hub don't fit together. “We feel that a facility of this scale and kind would have a major impact on the community and I think the frustration with all 10 groups is that the city has not provided the community a venue or a framework to have this discussion,” said Benjamin Gianni. Gianni is a Vanier resident, Carleton architecture professor and is heading the site selection group. The group focused on two things: whether the Salvation Army belongs where they are proposing it and if not there,
then where. The Salvation Army reportedly spent seven years looking for a new location for its shelter to move. When Ottawa East News initially asked Salvation Army spokesman Glen van Gulik where else the organization looked for sites, Gulik would not specify on specific locations, instead opted to say general areas such as 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 any sense at all. “The claim was they were seven years looking a sites, but there is no list,” Gianni said. “We looked around and used their own site criteria and found there are many other sites around that satisfy their criteria.” Salvation Army site selection criteria looked at proximity to key services, access to transit or on foot with less than a 30-minute walk, centrally located on an arterial road with preferably two access points, a space that can accommodate current and future needs, ample parking,

accommodate future and current needs. “Just using their site selection process we were easily able to identify 32 sites,” Gianni said. Of those sites, Gianni said they excluded areas that were too close to residential homes, main streets or schools. In the end, the group identified areas that were underdeveloped or neighbourhoods in transition. The site in the group’s mind that would fit the bill is the area they defined as the “Coventry Corridor” this area includes properties on Coventry Road or adjacent to it. “On Coventry, there is a huge amount of vacancy,” Gianni said. “It will transform into a

neighbourhood where lots of people will live. Our thought is it will be easier for a neighbourhood to form around the Salvation Army than an already
formed neighbourhood. This area is very close to transit - Just at, or slightly beyond 30-minute walk and it’s close to the mall which could offer potential jobs.” Aside from his group, Gianni said he thinks every group has their own strong argument against the proposal. Peter Kucherepa’s group spent their time focused on the planning rationale and zoning review. A lawyer by day, Kucherepa said the proposal is attempting to skirt every single rule that applies for shelter locations under the Planning Act, Ottawa Official Plan, bylaws and city reports to justify the 333 Montreal Rd. location.
“We have looked at these rules and the Salvation Army proposal and did a 30-page analysis and how the rules apply to the proposal. The Salvation Army proposal is actually breaching every rule,” he said. “So in fact, it’s a proposal that is convenient for them, but not convenient for the rules.” Kucherepa not only lives in Vanier, but has offered his voice and expertise to the community in the past, to address the payday loan issue in the city. When he first heard about the Salvation Army’s proposal he said he decided to once again fight for his community. Kucherepa authored a policy paper, completed in August which concluded the relocation of the shelter from George Street to Montreal Road is in conflict with the city’s laws and policy principles. Kucherepa said the group found that aside from the four shelters addressed in the Salvation Army and the city’s recent staff planning report, there are 12 shelters in the ward. The difference of eight is simply, Kucherepa said, that the city is defining shelters by those
it hands money to – not those who receive funding from different sources, including the province or private donations. Aside from the abundance of shelters, Kucherepa said the other issue is that of a main street – a place he said, and notes the city’s own 2008 bylaw agrees, is not a place for a shelter. “The Salvation Army proposal is attempting to skirt every single rule that applies to it,” Kucherepa added. “The question is how they define shelters. If they are allowed to skirt the rules, then what about all the other shelters? Could you move Shepherds (Shepherds of Good Hope) on Elgin – is that OK? This is a very dangerous precedent.” Kucherepa adds he feels his and the other working group’s research and findings offer a strong case to fight the proposal at the Ontario Municipal Board. “I think we have done a very extraordinary job. And I think the city underestimated Vanier,” Kucherepa said. “We have support from every level from government, support from community groups, and neighbouring community associations. I think that people did not expect that the people of Vanier would be that sophisticated.”
Montfort Hospital unveils new CT Scanner BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
The Montfort Hospital now has the ability to diagnose a patient in seconds. The hospital unveiled its new cardiac computed tomography scanner (CT scanner) on Nov. 2. The scanner captures 320 simultaneous image slices by rotating around a patient laying on a stationary table and in just 0.275 seconds the images are transmitted to a cardiac module. And less than a month old, the scanner has already saved one life. Kevin Ciesielski said it was in the summer when he started to feel short of breath. The Osgoode resident said it was when he was walking across the parking lot going to work that he felt something wasn’t right. Instead of going to the doctor, Ciesielski shrugged it off and it wasn’t until another time, when he was walking with his wife and dog he felt again short of breath. “I went to the doctor and he did the normal protocol, chest X-rays, but I was in no real pain,” Ciesielski said. “It was nothing I expected to be a problem.” Ciesielski eventually was referred to Montfort Hospital, where he was one of the first patients to undergo a CT scan. The scanner found three blockages in his heart. “It was that scanner that finally diagnosed what was wrong,” he said. “There was three blockages that were blocking 90 to 95 per cent of my arteries. The scanner identified them before I had a heart attack. I was told by one doctor that this is one of
the types of blockages that is typically diagnosed in an autopsy.” “This scanner saved my life.” Three days later Ciesielski underwent open-heart surgery at the Ottawa Heart Institute. One month later, he said he is still taking it slow, but is very grateful for the scanner. “I am very fortunate to have this done,” Chief of cardiology at the hospital, Dr. Chamoun Chamoun said Ciesielski’s case is actually rare — and not why the hospital first acquired the scanner. “This was for us to be able to rule out disease,” he said. The scanner is simple, quick, highly precise and non-invasive allowing more comfortable for the patient — the alternative is angiogram test, which uses special dye, and a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter inserted into your wrist or groin and guided to you heart. This new scanner also emits less radiation, making it according to the hospital all the more valuable as a diagnostic tool. “Kevin’s (Ciesielski’s) case is not typical,” Chamoun
said. “But followup was quick and Kevin got cardiac surgery within 48 hours.” The new scanner is now accessible to the community, and Montfort is working in collaboration with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Beyond cardiac diagnosis, the device will also be used to diagnose patients with pulmonary problems, or possible fractures, among other things. The Montfort Hospital Foundation’s $2.5-million Fundraising Campaign, For You, Sweet Heart, made it possible for the hospital to acquire the CT scanner with the specialized cardiac module. “This CT scan is in line with our mission to be there for the patient and deliver better care,” said president of Montfort, Dr. André Olivier. Currently, the campaign is at 73 per cent of its objective, and the foundation encourages people there is still time to donate to the cause. The hospital says the funds raised will enable all of the CT scanner’s capabilities to be deployed so that it may be used to its full capacity.

New Edinburgh residents sound-off on CSST noise concerns Halt on mitigation measures puts project behind schedule BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
The latest meeting between the community and the city concerning sewer work in New Edinburgh once again has residents feeling as though the city is not listening to them. The community construction monitoring committee met on Nov. 1 to discuss the latest plans for the combined sewer storage tunnel work taking place in the neighbourhood. The meeting could barely get past approving its September meeting minutes. The issue was around an information session to show plans of a noise barrier for the Queen Victoria Avenue construction site.
The information session took place at the end of September. The city originally promised residents a five-metre high noise barrier built around the shaft at the Queen Victoria Avenue construction site. However, on further research done by the city of the site, the cost, noise and time associated with building the noise barrier, the city reported the plan was not possible. As an alternative, the city proposed a three-metre barrier, with different materials to help mitigate the noise and health concerns raised by residents. The difference of two metres might seem trivial, residents say, but the point is they simply agreed to a promise from the city and wish the city would fulfil. And the main problem, residents say, is that they had hoped to be a part of the discussion on what would be appropriate in light of the fivemetre high barrier not being possible. "We understood the com-
mitment from the city was a consultation," said Cindy Parkanyi, president of the new Edinburgh Community Alliance. “Then it was an in-

formation session where the decision was already made.” CSST project manager Ziad Ghadban apologized to residents who attended the meeting on Nov. 1. “It was the only option,” Ghadban said of the threemetre high noise barrier proposed. “You didn’t ask the community, so how could you know if that was the only option,” said Queen Victoria Avenue resident Richard Palmer, adding it seemed the decision to mitigate noise at the site,
decision was based on finding the best outcome. “Blame it on us for making the suggestion at the time, because we didn’t know the cost or the disruption,” Gonthier said. The noise barrier, Gonthier added, was not required or asked for in the construction contract. The barrier was supposed to have been built in April 2017. The discussion about the barrier being too costly and disruptive to build was
brought up to residents in July. That put work at the site behind three months. “We faced more delays so it was no longer a viable option,” Gonthier added. Now the plan is to start work by mid-November. “The schedule is more important and you don’t give a damn on what the impact will be on the community,” Palmer said. “You are not building in a desert. You are building in a heritage community. This is a sham.” Parkanyi said this issue is no different than the issue of consultation concerning the entire project. “This goes back to how this whole thing was handled,” she said. “We need to be ensured that when we express our concerns you take us seriously.” Natasha Cappon said the frustration stems from the fact that noise mitigation concerns have been discussed for almost a year, with nothing to show for it. “There is still nothing up,”
she said. Residents also pointed out an early request from the community — compensation instead of a noise barrier could have been more cost-effective. Gonthier said the city does not provide moving costs or compensation for construction projects. “This is not something that is unique to this area, it’s not a city policy,” he said. Residents responded by saying they didn’t ask for the wall — the wall was suggested and promised. They simply agreed to it. “We don’t take pride in the fact that we made a commitment and we couldn’t provide that,” Gonthier said, adding the current delay is because the city did not want to move forward with the work without any mitigation or barrier in place. What was expected to be a 30-month project, the city informed the group, is now six months behind. That time however could be made up, depending on how other portions of the work go.

LRT launches train naming contest for kids BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Trainy McTrainface? That was Mayor Jim Watson’s quip as a possible name for one of Ottawa’s 34 light-rail transit trains that will be running along the east-west Confederation line, which opens next year, and six on the north-south Trillium line. The Ottawa Express, Canada Rail, Safe Train, Candy Train and Thomas were other pitches put forward by schoolchildren from Gloucester High, Immaculata Catholic High School and Des Pins Catholic elementary school as city officials launched a train naming
Erin McCracken/Metroland
An Alstom-built light-rail train is parked at the Belfast maintenance and storage yard on Nov. 2, serving as the backdrop for the launch of a train-naming contest. It is one of 34 Confederation trains and six Trillium trains that need names.
Kristine Geary’s
contest at the Belfast LRT maintenance and storage facility on Nov. 2. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, chair of the city’s transit commission, said the contest is a chance for kids and youth in the city to get involved in the LRT project and “Ottawa’s future.” “Our young residents are going to grow up riding these trains, and we’re very excited to give them an opportunity to be part of the city’s LRT legacy and name the trains that they will be travelling on,” Watson said. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chair of the city’s transportation committee, said there will be 34 Alstom-built trains on the Confederation
line, plus six diesel trains on the northsouth Trillium line, that will each need a name. The contest is open to kids in Ottawa ages 16 and under until Dec. 8. Participants can submit as many entries as they like, but each can only win once. Names are to be related to trains, a train service or feature a Canadian or Ottawa connection. They must be bilingual or easily translated, be 16 characters or less, as well as friendly, pleasant and easy to remember, Contest winners will be invited to a special event in 2018 with Watson and his council colleagues to reveal the new names. Pizza may be on the menu, the mayor hinted, prompting a buzz of excitement. Watson also had a spur-of-the-moment idea to invite the winners to ride the entire length of the system on opening day.

The local Alzheimer Society has changed its name, but not its mission
1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com
The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a new name! After 35 years of supporting local families living with dementia, the local non-profit organization has changed its name to “The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County” to more properly reflect the constituency it helps and the scope of its expertise. When the organization first came into being, Alzheimer’s disease was the best known and most prevalent form of dementia. This has changed and Alzheimer’s disease is now thought to represent less than 30% of all dementias.*

“Our organization has always worked with people challenged by Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, Parkinsonian and other dementias but this has not been reflected in our name,” says Paddy Bowen, Chief Executive Director of the newly named The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. “We are also cognizant of the growing tide of interest in dementia as reflected by the recently announced Ontario Dementia Strategy and the National Dementia Strategy.” The Dementia Society is here to help. We offer: • One to one support • Social programs • Peer support • Information and resources • Education Because no one should face dementia alone.

Take time to remember
R
emembrance Day falls on a Saturday this year, so we can expect even larger turnouts than ever at the various Remembrance ceremonies around the region, including the service at the National War Memorial at Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. But Saturday or not, Remembrance Day services have been attracting more and more in recent years as appreciation for the service of those in the Armed Forces both in the past and today continues to grow. The 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge marked earlier this year further enhanced our view of the sacrifices made in battle by so many thousands of young Canadian soldiers on that muddy battlefield a century ago. Indeed, many claim that Canada came of age as a nation due to battles like Vimy and Passchendaele in the First World War. It has taken decades, though, for Canadians in general to realize the horrors of war which these soldiers endured, battling in overseas lands to protect our freedom and democracy here in Canada. Slowly, there has been increasing awareness of these wartime — and peacetime — sacrifices by Canadian soldiers. So, today it is not unusual to hear a soldier in uniform, perhaps riding a bus, being thanked for his or her service or someone in conversation thanking a person for his or her service when learning of their
military involvement. In this world of terrorism and war in so many places around the world, there is now evolving an ever-increasing respect and admiration for those who are putting their lives on the line to protect our way of life in Canada. But Remembrance Day is serving yet another function as well. It serves to focus the attention of Canadians on their country and how fortunate we as Canadians are to live in such a free and open society where people can pursue their dreams and aspirations. So Remembrance Day, while a time of sombre remembrance, is also a time of reflective celebration, knowing that thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of so many, we are a country where the rule of law and respect for all prevail. We are fortunate to live in such a country and we must never forget that Canada is what it is today because so many died and so many more have served on the battlefields of Europe, Korea and elsewhere in the world. We are a country formed by the experiences of war but, thankfully, are not adherents of such warlike behaviour. Knowing our history and, more importantly, remembering it must never be lost. Respecting Remembrance Day is one way of ensuring this as the years go on.
Who’s ready for legalized pot? How about nobody?
A
s we lurch toward the July 1 celebration of marijuana becoming legal in Canada, we encounter confusing signposts along the way. For example, just the other day it was announced that a giant U.S. liquor company will partner with a Smiths Falls company to make cannabisinfused drinks. Already such drinks, with fruity flavours to appeal to young people, are on sale in U.S. states where marijuana is legal. Drinkable marijuana: did anybody think about that when legalization was being hailed? Given that there is already edible marijuana, the cookies, gummy bears and, yes, cotton candy already in production, one of the major drawbacks to marijuana use — having to smoke it — is being removed. So more people will be able to use it easily. Including more kids.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Another signpost: 58.5 per cent of Canadians in a recent survey said they had concerns about children and youth having greater access to recreational marijuana when it is legal. This despite the federal government’s claim that legalization of marijuana will make it somehow less available to young people. Interestingly, the drinkable marijuana story coincides with another news item, in which the federal Liberal government announces a five-year, $36.4-million campaign to help teach Canadians — especially young Canadians ones — about the health and safety
risks of using marijuana. Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition of addiction-research people to legalization and concerns expressed in the medical community about the effects of marijuana on young brains. Here’s another signpost: Richmond, B.C. city council has voted unanimously to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments outlining its opposition to legalization. The council is asking for jurisdiction to impose stricter rules, and to allow councils and landlords to bar marijuana use in their buildings. “The federal government is going to do what they’re going to do,” said one councillor. “But we as a city must be allowed to control where and how those products are being sold.” Richmond’s statement is but one example of the peculiar governmental framework surrounding legalization — namely, that the federal govern-

Ottawa's old train station is front and centre at art show BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

ernment town,” Bhat Boy said in an interview. “It was another time and another Ottawa.” He also drew inspiration from conversations with his neighbour Evelyn Scrivens, who moved to Ottawa during the First World War and married Bill Scrivens, who went on to found Scrivens Insurance and Investment Solutions. Before that, when Evelyn met him, Bill worked at a dealership across from the train station where the trains turned around. “She used to tell me all these stories about Ottawa.” When painting the pieces for
ture and shows her in a 1920s wedding dress waiting to get on the train in the dead of winter. Bhat Boy said he takes some creative liberties with his paintings, but used archival photographs to nail down some of the details. “Being a painter, I get to invent my own approach,” he said, adding that way people can create their own stories from the work. “That’s what good art does. That’s why we can look at a painting from the 1500s and still be engaged with it if it is a good piece of storytelling artwork, then we are still tied into it.” The timing for a show focusing on the downtown landmark is interesting as well, as the old building is undergoing significant renovations to house the senate next year. The show was a natural fit for the Orange Art Gallery based on its former function as the railroad bank, said owner In-
grid Hollander. “I guess I have a thing for trains,” she said. “Bhat Boy uses his own sense of whimsy and puts it into these city scenes.” There are about 16 pieces in the exhibit. According to a press release, the old train station, built in 1909 and located across from the Chateau Laurier was closed in 1966. The Grand Trunk Station officially opened in 1912, bringing historic arrivals and departures, including New Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry departing for the First World War before the station was renamed to Union Station. It was the arrival and departure points for everyone from King George VIII and Queen Elizabeth, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and even Elvis. The gallery is located at 290 City Centre Ave. The vernissage is planned for Nov. 15, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Youth swarmed for candy on Halloween night BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Police received reports of three candy-stealing swarmings in the east end on Halloween night. “It’s maddening,” said Staff-Sgt. Michael Haarbosch of the Ottawa police’s robbery unit. “How much effort does it take? You ring a doorbell and you get candy. They choose the short route and chose to rob kids of candy that had put in the effort and the fun to accumulate whatever quantity of candy.” At 8:50 p.m., five youth were swarmed by three suspects on Sarabella Street in Orléans and had their candy stolen. In what is likely an unrelated incident, five minutes later, six to eight suspects chased down multiple victims to steal candy on Ogilvie Road. At 9:15 p.m., three suspects robbed two victims for candy and iPhones in the 700 block of Rainsford Avenue, near the Aviation Parkway.
2018 Budget Consultations
“It’s a shame to see these types of things,” Haarbosch said. He said it can be difficult to lay charges in Halloween swarmings for candy thefts because often the suspects are wearing costumes themselves. He said they did have a lead in one of the files that they’ll be following. “Ruining Halloween for multiple kids last night – it’s very frustrating,” he said. Last year, the Ottawa police had six swarmings reported on Oct. 31.

In anticipation of the City of Ottawa’s draft budget presentation on November 8th, we have been discussing different budget priorities with residents. This year we hosted three budget consultations. Our neighbourhood consultation was the evening of October 11th at Mauril Bélanger School. We also held a consultation at the Rideau Centre on September 27th and an urban-wide consultation, #Budgetspeak, was on October 17th. Thank you to all the residents who came out to participate and who provided us with good ideas and solid feedback. During our neighbourhood consultation, the two hottest topics of the night were the renewable energy strategy (Energy Evolution) and affordable housing needs. #Budgetspeak was co-hosted with Councillors Catherine McKenney, David Chernushenko, Tobi Nussbaum and Jeff Leiper, we focussed on how to move forward with a few priorities that are important for our urban communities. The themes included: -Winter walkability and accessibility; -Arts, culture and festivals; -Social services and housing; -Reducing our carbon footprint. We value your feedback and ideas on investment priorities. We are open to new and innovative ideas to keep our city moving forward.

Mona Fortier MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT OTTAWA VANIER DÉPUTÉE
This past week was the 6 month anniversary of my first day in the House of Commons, a day I will not soon forget, but it was also a very important week for our riding. I was very pleased to hold two consultations on issues facing our aging population to discuss ways in which our government can ensure retirement is comfortable and dignified for all. In addition, over the past month I have made the selections for the Ottawa-Vanier Youth Council, another important group that will help inform me of issues of importance for our youth. This committee will meet regularly to discuss initiatives and issues facing the community and work collaboratively to find solutions. For those who might be interested, the council will again be open next fall for a new set of youth to join. As the end of 2017 nears a close, I want to take the time to recognize members of our community who have made an especially significant contribution to making Ottawa-Vanier a great place to live, work and play. That is why this week I have opened nominations for my Canada 150 Medallion program. If you know someone you believe is worthy of one of these pins, please visit my website and fill out the form telling me why you believe she or he is deserving. I would also like to congratulate Professor Elizabeth Sheehy from the University of Ottawa for having received the Governor General Awards in Commemoration of the Persons. Her scholarly work in the field of criminal law seeks to transform Canada’s justice system to create more effective protections for victims of sexual and domestic violence, thereby highlighting the cause of women’s rights in Canada and around the world.
67’s School Day Game a noisy backdrop for junior hockey BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
As is normal in the world of social media, Twitter captured the day best when @Lyonaboot pointed out ‘only in Canada would schools have a field trip to a hockey game.’ 13,567 noisy Ottawa-area schoolchildren filled the Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 1 to participate in the Ottawa 67’s annual School Day Game. Students from more than 30 schools from all over the city were bused in for the field trip and they brought the noise. The game against the Kingston Frontenacs was the thirdloudest game at the NHL Senators’ home rink this season. Only the Senators' contests against Montreal and Toronto were louder, due mostly to the fact half of the arena for those
games were filled with opposing team fans. The 67’s game could have even been louder if the home team was able to put together a more exciting fight against Kingston, but ended up losing 5-1. Either way, it was the largest crowd to take in a 67’s game this season, and that crowd was excited. Throughout the game, the chant of ‘fight, fight, fight’ was audible all around the rink. This was the first time Huntley Centennial Grade 7 student Vincent Nguyen has ever attended a 67’s game or been in the Canadian Tire Centre. “It’s pretty exciting, very loud,” he told the West Carleton Review. The student plays road hockey, soccer and tennis with his family and says this is the first time he has attended a sporting event of this magnitude.
Jake Davies/Metroland
Immaculata High School students get caught up in the action of the annual Ottawa 67’s School Day Game held at the Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 1. St. Isidore Catholic School Grade 6 student Matthew Anderson has a bit more experience having attended more than 25 67’s games and about the same amount of Ottawa Senators games. He felt this field trip was pretty special just the same. “There are more kids here than adults,” Matthew said. Matthew plays Pee Wee Major AA hockey with the Kanata
Lasers and considers himself a student of the game. He says he expects big things from this year’s edition of the 67’s. “They play well, they just need to regroup,” Matthew said. Matthew says despite being a regular, this is a pretty fun event. “I enjoy coming, like hockey and I get to miss school,” he said.
I would like to remind residents in the area that the City of Ottawa will be hosting its planning committee meetings on the Salvation Army Proposal for 333 Montreal Road on November 14th, 15th and 17th at City Hall on Laurier. My team and I continue to meet weekly with concerned members of the committee and I will continue to raise my objections with my municipal colleagues. I encourage everyone who has concerns to register to speak at the committee meeting. You can register to speak by emailing Melody Duffenains (melody.duffenais@ottawa.ca) the Clerk of the Committee. I look forward to seeing you there. I’d like to extend an invitation to the 12th edition of the Snowflake Breakfast at the Vanier Community Service Centre which aims to raise funds for the Partage Vanier food bank. This year, it will be held on Friday December 1st from 7:00 to 10:00 AM. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at my constituency office (233 Montreal Rd.), at the Vanier Community Service Centre (290 Dupuis St.), at the Centre Pauline-Charron (164 Jeanne-Mance St.), or online at www.dejeunerflocons.ca. I’m very much looking forward to seeing you at this great community event. As always, my team and I are here to help if you need assistance with Federal programming. Please reach out to my team at 613-998-1860 or drop in to our office at 233 Montreal Rd. to book an appointment. Mona Fortier Member of Parliament, Ottawa--Vanier

Last stateless Tibetan welcomed to Ottawa BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Excited cheers went up, and banners were hastily unfurled as Kunsang Lhundup took his first steps toward a new life in Ottawa. One by one, his well wishers approached to drape long, silky white traditional scarves, or khatas, around his neck in greeting. Lhundup’s arrival at the Ottawa International Airport the evening of Nov. 2 marked a major milestone in the Tibetan Resettlement Project in Ottawa, a volunteer organization that formed in 2012 to sponsor 97 of 1,000 Tibetans permitted by the federal government to come to Canada. “It feels surreal,” said Old Ottawa South resident and project chair Cornelius von Baeyer. “After five years, this is the 20th ceremony at the base of these stairs.” Lhundup is the last to arrive under the Ottawa project. The 41-year-old’s reaction after finally arriving in his new homeland was a blend of exhaustion and deep emotion after travelling for more than 14 hours. “He’s left people behind, his mom, but it’s also new surroundings,” said Samphe Lhalungpa, a Tibetan who now resides in Overbrook and who has been volunteering with the resettlement team. Lhundup’s dreams for a fresh start are simple despite the enormous change he faces. While living within a large Tibetan community in a remote part of northeast India near the Myanmar border, he worked for India’s Special Frontier Force, a paramilitary group deployed

Lhundup is the last Tibetan to arrive through the Tibetan Resettlement Project in Ottawa. along the Himalayan border. “At the moment, he says anything he’ll do,” Lhalungpa said, translating for Lhundup. “And that’s how it works. The people will come and do anything, and they learn. When you come in, you come with very little employment history.” Those who have already settled into life here have taken language courses to develop their English. They’ve also been paired with mentors to help them secure work, in addition to receiving other assistance from their sponsors. DALAI LAMA’S REQUEST
The resettlement initiative was spurred by the federal government at the request of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, during his 2007 visit here.
Tibet’s government-in-exile, based in India, selected those who would come to Canada based on a lottery system and other requirements. While there are thousands of Tibetans in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver who were ready to welcome the newcomers, just one- to two-dozen lived in Ottawa which was the reason why the project was launched. “They couldn’t just go to an existing Tibetan community (here) and say, ‘Absorb 100 people,’” von Baeyer said. “We had to create a new community sponsor, a particular type of organization for immigration.” The project team has generated $150,000 since 2012 and drawn support from hundreds of people who contributed inkind donations, such as house furnishings and other supplies.
The Tibetan community has since flourished around Donald Street and St. Laurent Boulevard in the Castle Heights and Cyrville communities, not far from where Pema Choedon now lives. She was in Lhundup’s shoes almost four years ago when she arrived at the Ottawa airport from India. “I was really nervous because it was my first time,” she recalled. But she isn’t worried for Lhundup’s future. “We have lots of people here so we can help him find a job or make a resume,” said Choedon. “It’s like a family,” she said, adding that she and Lhundup were neighbours in India, as are many of those already here in
Ottawa. Resettling Tibetans in the same Canadian cities who knew each other in India is one of the unique aspects of the program. “I call him my brother.” Today, Choedon spends her mornings learning English before heading to her esthetician job at an east-end salon. She has her eye on studying to one day become a registered massage therapist, and dreams of sponsoring her fiancé to come to Canada. Hamilton-area Conservative MP David Sweet joined the welcoming committee in his role as vice-chair of the Canadian Parliamentary Friends of Tibet. “We created the vehicle for them to come,” said Sweet, who also sat on a governmental subcommittee for international human rights that has been championing the rights of Tibetans. “It’s rewarding to see the community happy (that) it’s happened,” he said of the sponsorship program, led nationally by the Project Tibet Society. “This is just a small part of it. We still have beautiful dreams one day that Tibet will have an autonomous relationship with China.” The goal is for the Chinese government to recognize the cultural identity of Tibetans and their right to self governance, Sweet said. Language freedoms are a critical ingredient, said Lhalungpa, since the Chinese government continues to place restrictions on those and other rights, as well as repress the population. “Lhasa (the capital of Tibet) is the city with the largest

amount of CCTV cameras and they programmed the algorithm to such that if more than four Tibetans gather near certain points, it triggers an alarm, and the police are down,” said Lhalungpa, who was last there nine years ago and saw police dressed in riot gear patrol a spiritual gathering. “The last 20 years, their language, their religion especially, have been pirated,” said Sweet, adding that many Han Chinese have been relocated to Tibet to disperse the population and their cultural identity. Tibetans who fled to nearby India, beginning in the 1950s, are considered stateless, meaning they cannot hold a passport, must report to police once a year, and are not to hold a government job or vote in elections. “It is being a second-class citizen,” said von Baeyer. The joy on the faces of those welcoming a new member of their adopted family is evidence of the importance of new beginnings. “There’s a whole lot to happen yet,” said Valerie Swinton, a west Ottawa resident who has been involved in the resettlement project since its creation. It hasn’t quite sunk in that the last of the arrival ceremonies is now complete, said von Baeyer. “That’s obviously very rewarding,” he said of the committee’s contribution in improving lives. “It’s difficult to conceive of a project that affects people’s lives like this has.”

A generation of sleep-deprived teens is upon us
F
orget the zombie apocalypse. A new report suggests we may be in the midst of a sleep-deprivation epidemic among teenagers. I often think back to the bedtime battles I had when my kids were toddlers. It’s a theme well captured in children’s books. The child gets a bath, bottle, book and cuddles in bed. The lights go out. Five minutes later a small voice calls from the dark, “Mom, I’m thirsty.” And this goes on countless times for the next 30 minutes as exhausted parents, who really just want to veg out in front of the TV for an hour or check Facebook, are interrupted countless times. Years ago, we managed to nip this in the bud with our boys. We had the three-B routine. They were told to
A new study in the Journal of Sleep Medicine suggests we may have to return to our drill-sergeant ways. The report says adolescents are getting far less sleep today than they were a decade ago.

rently getting enough sleep. Apparently lack of sleep can “limit [the] ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems, [and cause you to forget] information like names, numbers, your homework or [dates].” It can even make teens more prone to acne and other skin problems. The obvious correlation between smartphone use and sleep deprivation has led to recommendations from health professionals to remove technology from bedrooms. As with adults, kids need to learn to shutdown screens a couple of hours before lights out. We’ve long banned screen technology from bedrooms. But kids can be sneaky. More than once we’ve confiscated devices under the pillow at midnight. Obviously, we’ll have to up our game. The kids’ health depends on it.

The time teens spend doing homework, working for pay and watching television appeared to remain stable or actually decrease over the six-year period, while use of smartphones and other screen technology increased substantially. Although fewer than two hours per day of screen time doesn’t seem to affect nighttime sleep, the authors suggest a correlation between excessive time spent on screens and the sleep deprivation epidemic.

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household
T
here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone! The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat “biscuits,” divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course,
so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken. I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with string. I
could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that.
And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the
pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the My sister Audrey and morning. Like everything else that my three brothers came into the house, be it from the general store, or thought they were from Renfrew, or from the much too old to garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. be bothered with It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of the cards from the favourite sayings Shredded Wheat box Father’s “waste not ... want not,” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that bowl, and then add the cream on rare occasions came into and brown sugar.

Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

VIEWING
Spectators are encouraged to come early to the National War Memorial to get a good vantage point. The ceremony will also be projected on jumbo screens set up around the memorial with numerous speakers broadcasting the audio of the entire ceremony. From 8:30 to 10 a.m., the Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be displayed on these screens. According to the legion, Canadians have been “building” this virtual wall of almost 2,000 photographs of Veterans who have now passed.

A Remembrance Day ceremony will be held at the Orléans branch of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Cenotaph at 800 Taylor Creek Dr., with a minute of silence scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. OC Transpo shuttles will transport people from the Trim Road park and ride again this year, as there will be limited parking available. There will be very limited seating inside, reserved for those who have health or medical issues that prevent them from being able to be outside for the ceremony. Those with walkers or wheelchairs who need to arrange outdoor space closer to the barrier should also contact the Legion ahead of time. Volunteers say anyone who wants to get a good spot should plan to show up around 10 a.m. for the 10:30 a.m. start of the parade. After the ceremony, attendees are invited to come inside the Legion for refreshments as well as live entertainment. A band will play from 1 to 5 p.m. inside. The Orléans branch of the Royal Canadian Legion can be reached at 613-830-9984.
History of the poppy ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION
Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. Fields that had been barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the popaver rhoeas to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” on a scrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day following the death of a fellow soldier. Little did he know those 13 lines would become enshrined in the hearts and minds of all who would wear them. McCrae’s poem was published in Punch Magazine in December of that same year, and the poem later served as inspiration three years later for Moina Michael, an American teacher. Michael made a pledge to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. During a visit to the United States in
1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom. Guerin decided to make and sell poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas of France. The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada (our predecessor) officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. Today, the poppy is worn each year during the Remembrance period to honour Canada’s Fallen. The Legion also encourages the wearing of a poppy for the funeral of a veteran and for any commemorative event honouring fallen veterans. It is not inappropriate to wear a poppy during other times to commemorate fallen veterans and it is an individual choice to do so, as long as it’s worn appropriately. Thanks to the millions of Canadians who wear the Legion’s lapel poppy each November, the little red flower has never died, and the memories of those who fell in battle remain strong.

Submit a photo for Virtual Wall Pilgrimage of Remembrance As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on Nov. 11. Deceased Canadian veterans (including those who were part of the merchant navy and ferry command), whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour. • Include high resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed). • Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged. • One image for each honoured veteran will be used • No original photographs, service records or other documentation please; they cannot be

The Royal Canadian Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance began in 1928 with a visit to Vimy, France, for the unveiling of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Since that time, promoting a pilgrimage has been a part of our efforts to encourage Remembrance. Pilgrimages are conducted every two years. The next Pilgrimage of Remembrance is scheduled for July, 2019. Please note the Legion’s Pilgrimage is conducted
in English. Individuals wishing to attend the pilgrimage should indicate their interest to the Dominion Command Coordinator, Danny Martin: dmartin@legion.ca Today’s pilgrimage encompasses some of the most important, as well as some of the least known, events of the First World War and the Second World War. Over 15 days, pilgrims experience being in the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy, and visit sites throughout Northern France and Belgium. They also experience the emotions of the Veterans, and of those they liberated. Ceremonies of Remembrance will be conducted at the cemeteries where so many Canadians found their final rest-
ing place. Taking a pilgrimage is important for a variety of reasons. For those who fought on the battlefields, a pilgrimage provides an opportunity to not only visit their fallen comrades, but for closure that may only be possible through revisiting the site(s) of so many memories. For those who lost family and loved ones on the fields, a pilgrimage is a way to shorten the distance between home and the site of their loss. For people who only connect with the battlefields through history books and our Canadian heritage, visiting these sites is an opportunity to more fully understand the sacrifices that were made by many for the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.
Time to remember the sacrifices of so many — Vous n’êtes pas oublié(e)s!

PUZZLE ANSWERS FOR NOVEMBER 2
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!

Supervised consumption sites 1109 There is a growing opioid crisis in Canada from which Ottawa has not been spared. In 2016 alone, almost 2,500 Canadians died from preventable overdoses, and in Ottawa, deaths have increased sharply. With the creation of a new temporary safe consumption site, and the expected opening of permanent sites in the coming weeks there is an urgent need for a comprehensive municipal harm reduction transition strategy. Along with three of my colleagues, I wrote to the Medical Officer of Health in late September to encourage him to implement such a plan as soon as possible. Ultimately, we need a collaborative, public health-focused approach to address the crisis. You can read the letter on my website.
