Family farming in the Greenbelt
HEATHER LAFLEUR Sales Representative
BY JESSICA CUNHA
The Orr family is revitalizing family farming within the Greenbelt while paying homage to the past. The Orrs and the National Capital Commission officially opened the new Pioneer Pavilion at the Log Farm on Friday, March 10 to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial year. The family will mix old-fashioned and modern techniques on the farm to offer visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the mid-1800s. “We’re about to take the farm on a journey to reinvent it — including the sugar bush program — and operate it
as a functioning farm, but also depict what life was like for the pioneers,� said Larry Orr, operator of the Log Farm with his son Ryan. The buildings on site were all constructed from trees felled on the property by the Bradley family in the 1850s. The Pioneer Pavilion is one of 10 buildings of architectural significance — ranging from those built in the mid-1850s through to the present — selected by the NCC to celebrate Canada’s 150th. “They have a wonderful trajectory through our national history,� said Mark Kristmanson, CEO of the NCC, during the grand opening.

Autumn (ID# A195183)
Farmers market to launch at Log Farm in May Continued from page 1
“I'm so happy that the Orr family are going to continue this great tradition,” said Kristmanson. “It takes a very special view of Canadian history.” The Orrs signed a 20-year lease with the NCC and will live and farm on the property, which includes a sugar bush, crop fields and animals. “We have three generations of the Orr family taking this on and it will take all three as it did in the pioneer days, I think, to make all of this work,” said Kristmanson. The Orr family includes Larry and his wife Karen, Ryan and his wife Amy, and their three daughters.
“We have lots of big plans to get the farm back to what a family farm should be and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We started working some of the fields last year and we’re going to be planting crops this year,” said Ryan, who used to volunteer at the farm in the 1990s. “We want to invite the capital in to see a family farm being run by a family.” Visitors to the site can celebrate the coming of spring with a tour of the sugar bush, where they can collect sap from the trees and see demonstrations of how pioneers used to make maple syrup. “It’s just to have something different people can come to,” said Ryan, who moved to the Nepean farm
from Almonte. “It’s going to hopefully be one of those community spots people come to.” He added that he will launch a farmers' market on site on May 13, which will run Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We’ve got 25 local vendors already,” he said, adding more vendors are welcome to contact him to participate. “We’re pretty excited about that.” The pavilion, located at 670 Cedarview Rd., is open to the public on weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. until April 16. Admission is $5.50 and free for children under age two. For details, visit www. thelogfarm.com.

In both animals and humans, there is controversy about “nature versus nurture.” That is, how much of what humans are is a result of genetics or upbringing? Without opening that debate up too far, it is fair to say that there is a good dose of both in humans and their animal companions. Those who have fantastic dogs may have an excellent eye for selecting dogs, but they usually invest in formal and informal training to make great dogs. To help pet owners make their pets great, the Ottawa Humane Society has developed several dog obedience programs and dog and cat behaviour seminars, Don’t Blame the Cat and Don’t Blame the Dog. Learn more at www.ottawahumane.ca/seminars/.

Is a Great Pet Born or Made? Those who work in animal welfare often talk about “Disney” dogs. Disney dogs, or cats for that matter, never pee on the carpet, don’t chew shoes, don’t need exercise. They don’t need a vet, or a groomer, and they understand anything that that is calmly and rationally explain to them. This is often someone’s expectation of a pet — an unrealistic expectation, and a damaging one at that.

Preserving stories of past genocides key to preventing future ones: panellists Continued from page 4
survival and promoting inclusiveness. Cevag Belian is a descendant of survivors of the Ottoman Empire’s Armenian genocide, carried out during the First World War. He directs the Armenian National Committee of Canada. Denyse Umutoni was 24 years old and living in a village of 3,000 Tutsi people in Rwanda during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. When the genocide ended, she, her sister and five other people were the only survivors left in their village. Together they formed a panel of survivors and representatives of survivors, one of several features of the Day of Humanity, Inclusion and Acceptance hosted by MPP Lisa MacLeod at the Ottawa Torah Centre in Barrhaven. “In all of these instances, what we have is true positivity,” said Rabbi Reuven Bulka, who moderated the panel discussion. “People who lived in the ultimate negativity of murder, brutality, genocide, and escaped from it to do great things.” Although their stories are different, they share a common motive for telling them: to promote inclusion through education and advocacy and, maybe, prevent future geno-

cides. In 1970, 15 years after she was liberated by Soviet forces in Germany, Gara moved to Canada – specifically Ottawa – with her husband and two daughters. The family was met with acceptance, and it’s acceptance that she encourages Canadians to demonstrate today.
‘The horrors of genocide and persecutions such as genocide transcend time and space.’ CEVAG BELIAN
“Nobody ever charged me of being a refugee or a foreigner,” she said. “Let’s keep on doing that and tell our children that no matter what, we are one … We have to remember that. We are all the same people, good and bad among all of us.” Belian, the voice of a different generation affected by genocide, echoed the importance of keeping stories of genocide and inclusion alive long after they’ve taken place. “I’m a descendant of survivors and victims … but their legacy and the stories that they’ve left behind is of course trans-generational,” he said.
“The horrors of genocide and persecutions such as genocide transcend time and space.” Anyone, the panellists agreed, can use that transcendence, to prevent future atrocities, whether or not they have been directly affected by genocide. “April is the month to remember the (Rwandan) genocide, so invite your friends to come to listen to survivors,” Umutoni said. “Start where you are and it’s going to be OK … Pay attention to what’s happening. Look, judge and do better.” Other highlights of the conference were the Tour for Humanity – a mobile human rights education centre – a lecture about Canada’s changing population demographics and presentations by local religious leaders and representatives including Jewish Rabbi Menachem Blum, Muslim Imam Zijad Delic and Aisha Sherazi, a spiritual counsellor for students and teachers at Merivale High School. “One of the reasons why I love this conference is because there’s no negative words in it,” said Bulka. “We’re not talking about anti-Semitism, we’re not talking about anti-this or anti-that. This is all positivity, humanity, inclusion, acceptance.”

Police seize drugs, cash and gun from three west end properties Nepean home and Kanata, Dow’s Lake area businesses searched STAFF
Seven people were arrested on March 21 after police seized drugs, cash and a loaded handgun from two illegal marijuana shops and a home in Nepean. Police used search warrants to raid the Centrepointe Drive home and the storefronts on the 900 block of Carling Avenue and the 1-100 block of Iber
Road. Along with marijuana, cash and a .44 calibre Desert Eagle handgun with ammo, police seized hash and hash oil, THC concentrate — also known as shatter — various edibles, computers, cellphones and other documentary evidence. “We continue to advise the public that these storefront operations are illegal and the laws will be enforced,” said Staff Sgt. Rick Carey from the police department’s drug unit. “Drugs and guns are continually being found in close proximity to each other and anyone
thinking illegal drug trafficking from behind a storefront counter is safer than on a street corner is fooling themselves.” Four of the seven people arrested and charged were store employees. Two were scheduled to appear in court on March 22. The charges faced by the group include drug trafficking, proceeds of crimes under and over $5,000, and multiple weapons charges. Police are asking anyone with information about drug complaints to call 613-236-1222 ext.

The 13th hour for Rideau High
T
he closure of Rideau High School appears to be a done deal. It’s a slap in the face for some of Ottawa’s most vulnerable citizens and represents the gutting of our urban communities. But the communities are not backing down. An active letter-writing campaign has commenced, addressed to local trustees, members of provincial parliament, city councillors, the premier, and even to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who lives within blocks of Rideau’s catchment area. For the moment, however, it appears Rideau will be boarded up at the end of the summer. On March 7, trustees at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) voted 7-5 in favour of closing the school. On March 21, they ignored the arguments for maintaining urban high school access for residents in east downtown neighbourhoods — including Lowertown, Overbrook, Vanier and Manor Park — instead choosing to ship these kids off to the suburbs, by transit on multiple buses to Gloucester High School, up to 10 kilometres away. As one parent wrote in a letter to trustees, “I realized what is at stake: the success or failure of an entire community.”

Can’t get enough hockey in this town T he Stanley Cup has been sighted in Ottawa. No the Senators haven’t yet grasped hockey’s holy grail, but the mug has been touring the town. Rideau Hall hosted the Cup during March break and the lineups to have photos taken with the famous silverware snaked through the old building’s hallways. No one seemed to mind the wait, and the hockey fans there were giddy when they reached the front of the line and got a chance to touch a piece of history. It’s a sign of the passion Ottawans feel for Stanley. The Cup also visited the site of a future permanent monument to the trophy at Sparks and Elgin streets. Some NHL greats and the Governor General were on hand to break ground at the site last week. The city’s residents and visitors will soon
be able to mug for photos with a replica of the Stanley Cup. More passion. And in the coming weeks we’ll enjoy the late-season drama of the NHL and get behind our Ottawa Senators run to the playoffs. Bars will fill up. Elgin Street will turn red – the colour of passion. After we enjoy our warmer months and the nation’s 150th birthday celebrations, we’ll be able to slap on toques and mittens to watch those same Sens take on the rival Montreal Canadiens at TD Place. Stanley will no doubt be there on Dec. 16 too, as the first game in NHL history – played between Ottawa and Montreal in Ottawa on Dec. 19, 1917 – is celebrated a century later.

here are those of us who despair of current conditions. Just the other day someone contacted the CBC in Ottawa to complain about cars blocking the road while they waited to get into a drive-thru coffee place. There were parking places available, but no one wanted to get out of their car. She’s right. Obviously some people actually need the drive-thru service. The rest of us are just too lazy to care that we’re polluting the atmosphere and blocking traffic. The restaurants don’t dare stop the service. And city governments are too gutless to do anything substantial about it. But you know, we’re probably not stuck with it forever. Just as we’re not stuck with telemarketers and electronic noise in the arena and commercials at the movies and all

seemed, people stopped providing ashtrays in their houses. At dinner parties, you didn’t light up without being stared at. Among adults, smoking, which was once thought of as the height of sophistication, became uncool. Among younger people, smoking retained some of its cool factor, but smoking among young people has diminished too. So the biggest factor in the smoking reduction is a change in people’s attitudes. And smoking is not the only area where that has happened. In 1966, there was no such thing as the designated driver. To give another example, in 1966 North America, there was no such thing as bottled water — at least to the extent that it has existed in recent years. Then bottled water arrived and seemed inevitable. And now it’s leaving, at least in places like this. It was cool for a while, then people started thinking about all that plastic, and about the good EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER: Megan Delaire, megan.delaire@metroland.com, 613-221-6237 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220

Algonquin College, Siemens to launch two new joint programs New training opportunities meant to prepare students for work in robotics BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com
Algonquin College and technological engineering company Siemens Canada have formed a new partnership intended to launch robotics, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering students closer to the cutting edge of their industries. Siemens Canada CEO Robert Hardt joined college president Cheryl Jensen at the school’s Ot-
tawa campus on March 21 to sign agreements for a new mechatronics program and a dual-education program. Mechatronics is a holistic approach to automation that combines mechanical, electrical and computer software technologies – as well as control and systems theory – into a single system used in electronics production and manufacturing. “We’re going to be really updating some of the curriculum within our robotics program to look at (robots) as systems, rather than a tool that (students) learn to use,� said Chris Janzen, dean of the college’s technology and trades faculty. “It’s really a holistic system approach, and our current robotics
program doesn’t quite have that holistic view from all three of the disciplines that go into mechatronics.� Janzen said it’s too soon to know how the college will implement the mechatronics program, but said it’s likely the school will offer supplemental mechatronics courses so students in different programs can earn extra credits toward mechatronics systems certification. After he and a group of Algonquin teachers complete certification training in mechatronics systems in Germany this summer, they’ll have a better idea how to add mechatronics training to the Megan DeLaire/Metroland college’s existing curriculum.

Dual-education could be gateway to a career: student Continued from page 9
In the meantime, dual-education programming will begin this summer, with the first round of candidates spending four months between semesters training at Siemens Canada’s headquarters in Oakville, Ont. “Siemens decided that they need to take an active part in educating their future stars,” Janzen said. “And rather than wait until they were employees, they saw a benefit in working with academic partners in order to help train those people right away.” The dual-education program also deals with the many facets of modern automation: the design, manufacturing, programming and control of robots and automated machines. Students are placed on Siemens’ payroll while completing their final year at Algonquin and train with Siemens during the four months before and after the final year. The training covers a range of disciplines that Siemens employees touch on in their work for the company, including me-
chatronics. “They hire these people as employees of Siemens while they are continuing their education,” Janzen said. “So they don’t just pay for the students’ education, they pay the student to go to school as an employee of Siemens.” In return for training and wages, candidates commit to working for the Siemens for four years after graduation. Algonquin is the newest of six Canadian post-secondary institutions to enter into a dual-education agreement with Siemens Canada. Allen Phillips – who studies electrical engineering – is one of five Algonquin College students selected for the dualeducation program. He described the application process as rigorous, having attended an information session about the program, applied online, completed a phone interview and delivered a presentation during an in-person interview. “I had to prepare a 15-minute presentation all about sustainability,” Phillips said.
“So I had to obviously show that I was capable of being able to understand a lot of the morals and values behind Siemens, because sustainability is a huge thing.” But he said the hardest part of the process was simply waiting to find out if he’d earned a coveted spot in the program.
something, being innovative,” he said. “That’s a huge thing. I want to stay up with technology, be current, and have myself be sustainable. I want to be able to be employed with the technology that’s coming out … This partnership in general is an amazing gateway for any other students

When he got the news after a month of waiting, he said he was overwhelmed. “I kind of freaked out on the phone a little bit. In a good way,” he said. “I kind of cried like a baby. I called my mom and I was like, ‘I can’t even believe it.’” The response was appropriate though, Phillips said, given the program’s life-changing potential. “This could potentially lead to a life-long career doing
who are trying to be innovative.” This new partnership is not the first one formed by Siemens and Algonquin. In April 2016, Siemens opened a natural gas power plant on the campus that serves to both generate electricity for the campus and provide heat and air conditioning for its buildings. It’s also meant to serve as a learning environment for students in the school’s energy management program.

Be prepared for Miss Crosby’s weekend stay I MARY
t was our turn. We had been anticipating the weekend for months. And now it was finally here. Our beloved teacher would be coming home with us on Friday night and staying until Father took us back to school on Monday morning. There were very few families who weren’t given the privilege of having Miss Crosby stay over. Rich or poor, it was considered an honour to play host to the teacher once a year. And now, finally, she would be coming to spend the time with us. This meant, of course, the house would have to be cleaned from top to bottom, even the places where Miss Crosby wouldn’t be going near. Like the back bedroom where the three brothers slept. But it too had to be scrubbed, and like the other beds, even though it wasn’t wash day until Monday, the sheets were changed right through the house. And the meals! What feasts were planned by Mother! Fresh apple and raisin pies were on
flat bottom sleigh with the one seat at the front where he and Miss Crosby would sit, while we kids clung to the back. And that day there would be no changing in our play clothes when we came home from school. We would stay dressed in what we had worn that morning, with the brothers pulling on bib-overalls over top to do the chores. Supper would be ready early and it would be ample. Roast and tucked under Mother and pork from the smoke house, creamed potatoes, at least two Father’s bed, and the white vegetables, cabbage salad, and linen tablecloth Mother had homemade pickles filled the brought from New York was table, hardly leaving enough freshly washed and ironed, with its matching napkins to be room for our plates, and the little glass rack that held our placed beside each plate.

Looking for a form of exercise that will help you relax, lose weight, lower your blood pressure, relieve aches and pains, and clear your mind? If you’d like to start hiking seriously, consider joining a local hiking club. the Rideau Trail Association offers a wide range of hikes for adults (most members are over 50), from a leisurely walk in the woods or in-town to a vigorous tramp through challenging terrain. Outings are scheduled all year round on weekends as well as some weekdays and evenings. To kick-start the hiking season, the Ottawa Club is holding an Introduction to Hiking course on Saturday, May 6 at the Nepean Sportsplex. This is a full-day session for new hikers and those interested in making their hiking experience safe and enjoyable. Topics include hike planning, preparation, packing, outfitting and on-trail procedures, plus an orientation to hiking with a guided group. The day will wrap up with a short hike. Space is limited, so register early. The cost is $85 (which includes a one-year RTA membership, value $25). The RTA, a completely volunteer organization, maintains a continuous trail between Ottawa and Kingston, which passes through Merrickville and Barrhaven. It offers hikes, from easy to challenging, on the Rideau Trail as well as in and around the Ottawa-Gatineau, Perth and Kingston regions.

Transport Canada introduces new rules for recreational drones BY VICTORIA ST. MICHAEL victoria.stmichael@metroland.com
The Ottawa International Airport Authority is applauding new federal safety rules for recreational drones that took effect March 16. “We are very much in favour of the new safety measures,” said Krista Kealey, vice-president of communications and public affairs at the authority. The rules state that operators must mark drones with contact information and may not fly: • Higher than 90 metres • At night • Within 75 metres of buildings, vehicles or people • Within nine kilometres of the centre of any airport, heliport, aerodrome or water aerodrome where aircraft take off and land. Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced on March 16 that the measures
will affect model aircraft and recreational drones weighing more than 250 grams and up to 35 kilograms. The rules will be in effect for up to one year in an effort to make the skies safer for operators and the public until more permanent regulations are put in place. While Kealey agreed the new rules might leave drone
operators hard-pressed to find a suitable place to fly in the city, she’s adamant that keeping the skies safe for all should be the priority. It’s up to Ottawa’s drone enthusiasts to find a safe place to operate, and the fine for failing to comply with the new restrictions can be up to $3,000. “Transport Canada’s ongo-
ing effort to reduce the potential threat is needed,” Mark Laroche, president and CEO of the airport authority, said
in a news release. “As drones grow in popularity, we need to work closely together to ensure that our
skies remain safe for aviation activity while keeping communities safe from collateral harm.”

KA FAMILIA FILIPINO FUSION RESTAURANT Ka Familia serves up Filipino Fusion cuisine Dhom Rosete is about to realize his dream. He and his family are opening Ka Familia Filipino Fusion Restaurant at 3570 Strandherd Drive, Nepean. With the Grand Opening April 8, the restaurant will be the peak of Dhom’s career that started in his native Philippines and carried on through 26 years as a restauranteur in London and Wales. “Filipino food is a natural centre of fusion to many different cultures. There is often an aspect of counterpoint in each dish where contrasting flavours such as sweet and salty are paired together to create delicious combinations. It offers a bold combination of flavours influenced by Spain and Asia.” Philippine cuisine continues to evolve as new styles of cooking and ingredients find their way into recipes. Traditional dishes, both simple and elaborate, combine indigenous and foreign influences to create unique, delicious food. Dhom says Philippine cuisine is simple and unique, honest food, using a variety of native ingredients. “Our food is both traditional and modern Filipino with a fusion flair. Each of the 7000+ islands in the Philippines has developed its own style based on local customs and products. Ka Familia takes a regional approach to the cuisine.” Through the years Dhom has gained valuable experience with different cooking techniques at various restaurants. Now he is finally able to serve the food of his homeland. “We pride ourselves in providing warm and friendly service. We have a passion for Filipino food and we want to share it with you. Come and discover the diverse flavours of Filipino cuisine and more. We will use local ingredients wherever possible.Come explore different food combinations.” Ka Familia will earn its reputation with every meal served. As Dhom says, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning.”

Ontario Works clients frustrated with EquiPass Low-income bus pass denied to receivers of transportation allowance BY VICTORIA ST. MICHAEL victoria.stmichael@metroland.com
Vanier resident Holly Petersen, 24, relies on transit almost daily in the winter. Even in the summer, she says it’s difficult to travel around Ottawa without it because of distances. When the city officially approved a low-income bus pass in November 2016, Petersen says she was happy to have an equalizer for low-income residents. But when the EquiPass application opened on March 10, Petersen was stopped in her tracks when she read, “You should not apply for an EquiPass if you receive transportation benefits from Social Services (including Ontario Works).” Petersen, like many other low-income Ottawa residents, receives assistance from Ontario Works. Petersen is a co-founder of Street Folk, a volunteer-based organization that helps people who are homeless or at-risk. Living in Vanier, Petersen says it’s difficult to get around when public transportation is so expensive and the criteria for getting transportation allowance from Ontario Works is specific. “I feel that the EquiPass not accepting OW clients would bring down the overall self-esteem of those on OW who are trying to better their lives, seeing it as a resource that they cannot use when they have every right,”
Metroland file photo
The new Equipass is intended to provide public transit to lower-income Ottawans, but some Ontario Works recipients are finding they are shut out of the process. One advocate is suggesting Ontario Works recipients demand change. says Petersen. According to Healthy Transportation Committee secretary Trevor Haché, the environmental advocacy group met with the mayor’s office in December regarding the EquiPass. The city made it clear that people receiving Ontario Works transportation benefits would not be eligible. “I asked for clarity regarding what the province would consider worthy for Ontario Works transportation benefits, and they emailed me back saying funded transportation options in Ottawa include medical transportation
and employment-related expenses,” says Haché. But what about people like Petersen, who rely on public transit for things the province does not approve for funding, like grocery shopping or even taking your children to school? There are strict limitations to the things Ontario Works provides benefits for, but Haché says it’s a subjective issue. Haché encourages those who feel they are stuck between not receiving enough transportation allowance from Ontario Works and being unable to apply for an EquiPass from the city to con-
tact the Healthy Transportation Committee or even their MPPs. “We want to make affordable public transportation a priority for low income people,” says Haché. “If there are still barriers up for them, we’d love to communicate that to the province and resolve any shortcomings.” David Pepper, the manager of business and operational services at OC Transpo, says receiving the monthly benefit and getting assistance from Ontario Works to attend things like doctors appointments and job interviews are not the same thing. Pepper says if someone is unsure of whether they are receiving the full benefit from Ontario Works or whether they should apply for the EquiPass, they should speak with their caseworker. “The transportation benefits for Ontario Works are very specific,” says Pepper. “It is itemized for $113.70. If someone is not in receipt of that amount from social services, they may certainly apply for the EquiPass.” Although she is not eligible, Petersen still plans to apply and says others should do the same. “Even if they deny every applicant, I believe if there is a mass amount of OW receivers applying, perhaps they will notice there is an obvious need,” says Petersen. For those who are eligible, the EquiPass will be available in April for $57.

Lord Stanley’s Gift finds a home BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Hockey’s top prize will always have a place to call home in Ottawa. One hundred and twentyfive years ago, Canada’s then governor general Lord Stanley of Preston, a hockey dad himself, bought a silver cup for 10 Guineas, or $50 Canadian at the time. At the corner of Elgin and Sparks streets, he gifted this cup to Canada’s top-ranking amateur hockey club. In 1926, the National Hockey League adopted the cup, christening it the Stanley Cup, and made it the top prize in professional hockey. Now, steps away from where Stanley originally handed over the cup, a monument to mark the gift is going to be erected. For the organizing committee, Lord Stanley’s Gift Monument, this sculpture will act as a place to forever mark the original gift by Stanley in Canada’s history. On March 18, Canada’s current Governor General David

Governor General David Johnston said he thinks the Lord Stanley Gift monument, which will be erected where Johston stands will offer people from all over Canada and the world who visit it a chance to share in the glory of the Stanley Cup. Johnston was on hand on March 18 to celebrate the cup and the new location of the monument.
Cup monument will be unveiled in December Continued from page 27
The heart of Canada’s capital is a fitting place for this monument,” Johnston said at the ceremony. Johnston went on to say the cup is a symbol of Canada, of excellence, of grit, grace and hard work. “This monument honours the legacy and will further cement the Stanley Cup’s place in the life of our country,” he said. Commenting on the unique tradition of the cup in which players and staff from the winning team each get time to spend with the cup, ultimately having the cup go all over the world, Johnston said he thinks this new monument will offer people from all over Canada and the world who visit it a chance to share in the glory of the Stanley Cup. Braving the cold morning temperatures on March 18, young hockey players from the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven teams donned jerseys to represent the teams of the NHL at the ceremony. Proud moms Joanne McNally of Carp and Mandy Vanvliet of Stittsville said it was a great opportunity for their boys to participate in. “I think they would rather be cold and celebrating this part of history
than not be here,” McNally said. George Hunter, president of Lord Stanley’s Gift Monument, took the moment to reflect on the hockey dream and those of the boys standing in front of him. “The monument, the groundbreaking for the which we celebrate today, is all about dreams,” Hunter said, adding that the simple bowl which Stanley purchased has gone on to represent the ultimate achievement and dream in hockey. According to the committee, the historic, simple silver bowl donated by Stanley is what inspired the winning design for the sculpture. The sculpture will rise from a white paved “hockey rink” with embedded stainless steel lines evoking skate marks and 39 granite discs engraved with the names of the Stanley Cup winners from 1893 to 2017. A 1.4-metre black granite bench in the form of a hockey puck will complete the ensemble. The monument will be donated to the city and unveiled in December 2017. The unveiling will be part of the 2017 celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the 100th anniversary of the National Hockey League, and the 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Senators.
Coalition demands answers about release of officer BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
The Justice for Abdirahman Coalition is asking for answers after what they say was preferential treatment given to an officer charged with manslaughter. Const. Daniel Montsion has been charged with manslaughter, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon in the death of Hintonburg man Abdirahman Abdi in July 2016. In a news release, the coalition — which was formed in the days after Abdi’s death aims to increase transparency in the case, challenge racial inequity and increase support for mental health needs, as well as bring change to police services — points to Montsion’s scheduled court appearance for March 6, when he was deemed a “no-show” for his bail hearing and when he was released from the police station when charges were laid. “It is disturbing that the very institution mandated to prosecute in this case is turning a blind eye to preferential treatment being afforded to an officer charged with manslaughter,” said Farhia Ahmed, co-chair of the coalition, in the release. “The simple fact that there was no straight answer for basic questions like who authorized his release, from where and when is disappointing and unacceptable.” The statement goes on to say,
Melissa Murray/Metroland
The Justice for Abdirahman Coalition is asking for answers from the attorney general after the officer charged in Abdirahman Abdi’s death was released. “The unprecedented preferential treatment Montsion has received not only adds insult to injury, but sends the wrong message to all Canadians. “It tells them that unlike everyone else, a different set of rules apply to those in positions of privilege and power when they are accused of wrongdoing.” The group is calling on the Attorney General of Ontario, Yasir Naqvi, to provide clarity on three questions. • If police are not above
the law, why was this officer, who was charged with serious crimes, granted preferential treatment through his release before a bail hearing? • Why hasn’t the Attorney General of Ontario been forthcoming with information concerning Montsion’s release? • How will the Attorney General of Ontario ensure the integrity of process in this case going forward? Montsion’s next court appearance is scheduled for March 29.
