Cash deposits short at three city client centres in 2016: AG report BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Investigators can’t rule out employee theft following the loss of $3,400 from two city client service centres last year. Poor video surveillance quality and not following city cash-handling protocols hindered the investigation, Auditor General Ken Hughes told the committee on June 22. The three cases of shortages in cash deposit took place at Ben Franklin Place and the Orléans client service centre. The two combined shortages at Ben Franklin Place were $3,300 from March 9 and March 17. One hundred dollars was missing from the May 27 de-

posit at the Orléans location. Changes have been made to security protocols as a result of deposit shortfalls in 2015. The Auditor General also looked at the Parkdale and ByWard markets last year — ultimately discovering that management hadn’t been tracking cash properly. Hughes added there have been two cases of deposit shortfalls reported in 2017 already.

It was bittersweet as Grade 7 and 8 students from D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School and Featherston Drive Elementary School took to the pitch at Lafrange Field in Alta Vista for their fourth and final cricket tournament together, ahead of D.A. Moodie’s permanent closure this week. Taking part in the sports day on June 21 were Moodie wicket keeper Tristan Laliberte, 13, who watches as Featherston’s Aathavan Uruthirapathy, 14, takes a swing.

Lotus Centre for Special Music Education grows with move BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
The Lotus Centre for Special Music Education has grown exponentially in five years — so much so that it is moving to a bigger location to make room for more students. Musicians with the not-forprofit centre performed during the annual recital on Sunday, June 25, and an open house held at the music school’s new location in the Beaverbrook Community Centre. “This will be a celebration,” said Erin Parkes, founder and executive director of Lotus Centre. “We’re taking a big step forward now in a lot of ways. We’re starting all kinds of new programs.” When nine-year-old Casey Rehemtulla began piano lessons last year, he had fine motor difficulties and wasn’t able to move his fingers individually. “For the first few months the task was simply to get him to push one note after another with different fingers,” said Casey’s mom, Kathleen O’Grady, adding it took months of practice. “Then
things started to come together very quickly.” Casey, who has autism, can now play full songs on the piano, hitting multiple notes with separate fingers. The piano lessons have also helped in other areas of his everyday life. “The benefits we’ve seen here extend beyond piano,” said O’Grady, adding Casey practices about five days a week, with very little prompting, at home in Westboro. Working the keys has helped Casey with using cutlery, buttons and zippers, as well as his handwriting, said O’Grady. It’s also helped Casey’s attention span. “I was waiting for him to have the attention span for piano and it was not until we started lessons that piano lessons enable him to have the attention span,” she said. “It’s just incredible the progress we’ve seen.” During his final lesson on June 19 before summer break, Casey worked through a number of songs he’s been practising. “Do you think I should play during the summertime?” he

Music centre fills gaps for kids with special needs
them to work on those things that need some improvement,” she said. “Once they get started, they’re excited to learn so they want to learn more.” Seventeen students signed up in the first few months and Parkes was the only music teacher. By the end of 2012, the centre had 30 students and two music teachers. Now, the school sees about 200 students a year from across Ottawa and has nine teachers and three administrators on staff. “The support of our families is amazing,” Parkes said. “We have a lot of parents that come to us because they see that music is something their child loves and seeks out.” Playing music is a calming sensory experience, she said. Students can choose from piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, bass, drums and brass lessons. The centre also offers general music classes for students with high needs. “We just try to nurture that and at the same time push them as far as they can go in their learning,” she said. “It’s just about building on that love of music … I want it to be a good experience.”
Continued from page 2
It was “impossible to find swimming lessons or martial arts or music lessons where they specialized with kids with special needs.” So Parkes turned the focus of her PhD into researching the impact of music on children with special needs. Two years into her research, she opened the Lotus Centre in Kanata, which also accommodates siblings, making it easier for families seeking music lessons. “I thought it would be a good addition to the community,” said Parkes, who lives in Stittsville. “Music connects with everybody. It’s no different for special needs kids and we work with adults as well.” Instructors tailor each lesson to the individual and no one is ever turned away, said Becky Ingersoll, studio manager. “The teacher will find their strengths or things that they love — songs that they love or an instrument that they love — and really use that thing that they love in order to get

Poor video quality hindered investigation in Nepean, AG says Continued from page 1
Auditors with the city couldn’t investigate until the Ottawa police concluded their questioning of staff. After five months, recollections would have been comprised, so none of the employees involved with the deposits were interviewed by the city, the audit report says. Instead, the investigation focused on documents, discussions with management and security video. The video quality from the Ben Franklin CSC cash-handling room is so poor quality that it wasn’t possible to tell the difference between a bank note and a regular piece of paper, investigators found. The security video for the Orléans CSC counting room wasn’t available for
the day the shortfall was discovered because the hard drive for the recorder was defective. Corporate security replaced the hard drive, but the report said the placement of the camera doesn’t show the counting desk.

CONCLUSIONS
The reported concluded that staff didn’t follow proper cash-handling protocol, but no one employee was deemed to be the cause of the shortages, so there were no charges. The report makes a series of recommendations that include: not using deposit funds to make change, as well as not altering cheques and verifying the math on the deposit slips. Management agreed with the recommendations.

Ottawa hospitals at the ready for Canada Day BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Ahead of Ottawa’s biggest bash of the year, the Ottawa Hospital is already prepared for a surge in reported sexual assaults. “In mass gatherings, there’s robust evidence to show that the rates of sexual assaults and violence unfortunately increase significantly,” said Dr. Andrew Willmore, medical director of emergency management, and emergency physician with the Ottawa Hospital. “On top of our 24/7 staffing, we have two layers of on-call personnel trained to come in should we need and that’s certainly the case for Canada Day.” A 2013 case study, called Characteristics associated with sexual assaults at mass gatherings, revealed an increased proportion of sexually assaulted patients is associated with mass gatherings around Canada Day, university frosh week, Halloween and New Year’s Eve. The nature of the assaults is different — the assailant was only known to the victim about one-third of the time, patients are younger and there’s more likely to
be alcohol or drug consumption. “It’s not those multiple-casualty moments that folks usually think about for mass gatherings … it’s the sexual assaults that increase, it’s the interpersonal violence that increases,” Willmore said. The majority of cases the hospital will see around Canada Day are linked to environmental exposure — sunburns, heat exhaustion and dehydration, Willmore said. Then there are patients visiting from out of town who have forgotten their medications and experience complications from that. “We see a lot of alcohol-related injuries, be that from the alcohol itself from people drinking excessively and getting into a toxic state, and also the things that people do when they are drinking heavily,” Willmore said. Released on June 22, a new report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that alcohol leads to more hospitalizations than heart attacks in Canada. That includes patients who are hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, alcohol withdrawal or liver disease caused by alcohol. According to the report, an average of 212 Canadians were hospitalized each day last year
for conditions entirely caused by alcohol; however, that doesn’t include the number of people treated in emergency departments who were not ultimately admitted. Hospitals are also preparing for what could be an increased number of trauma patients and are working closely with Canadian Blood Services to make sure enough blood is available, if needed. Currently, the organization is asking for donors to step up before Canada Day because there is a “critical need.” The response by each Ottawa area hospital to major events in the capital is centrally co-ordinated through a hospital emergency preparedness working group, including one struck especially for Canada Day. The group works closely with the city to make sure everyone is working together. “It’s a strange job, emergency management. We are constantly working in hypotheticals,” Willmore said, adding the work continues year-round, not just around big events. “With mass events there are contingency plans for pretty much anything that might come through the door.”

Ottawa hospitals are hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst as Canada Day approaches. Increased cases of sexual assault, patients suffering from the effects of alcohol, heat exhaustion, dehydration are all expected during the event. At CHEO, there will be an increase in patients on July 1, but Dr. Mélissa Langevin, an emergency physician and a representative of the hospital’s emergency
preparedness committee, said it’s usually proportionate to any time there’s a population sell, such as on Boxing Day, or any other holiday weekend.
“We’ll see in the evenings the effects of the evening parties, definitely. I would say we’ll see a handful more than you would on a normal night,” she said of patients suffering from the effects of drugs and alcohol. Similar to the Ottawa Hospital, CHEO will see more heatrelated illnesses and patients who are having trouble breathing. “One of the most important things is having people avoid the hospital who don’t need to come,” Langevin said. “We are hoping to keep the hospitals for the emergencies.” The Emergency Medical Assistance Team of Ontario will operate fully-functioning field hospitals near Parliament Hill during the July 1 celebration in order to reduce strain on area hospitals. It includes a triage area and treatment space. See, ER, page 6
Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments For secondary dwelling units (coach houses) In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties within Ottawa’s rural area. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 of the Official Plan to allow a greater degree of flexibility for caoch houses which are privaelty serviced. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to adjust the performance standards which implement coach houses as a permitted residentail land use in the City of Ottawa. Changes to Section 142 will provide a greater degree of flexibility to allow coach houses on lots which are privatley serviced. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-17-0012) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-17-0059). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or go to the City’s online Development Application Search Tool at www.ottawa.ca. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by July 24th, 2017. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Dated at Ottawa this June 26, 2017.

ERs prepare for surge in patients on July 1 Continued from page 5
Extra paramedics will also be deployed. “The City of Ottawa has done a really good job, and typically does with the Ottawa Paramedic Service, at increasing staffing so that people who have minor cuts and bruises, have heat-related injuries and so on can get treated quickly,” Langevin said. Willmore is confident the field hospitals will relieve some of the pressure. “Hopefully, it will end up being overkill and the volumes are quite low,” he said. “For a day that is of such magnitude for the country and with the crowds that we are going to see, we are erring on the side of over-preparing and if we are pleasantly surprised then fantastic.” PREVENTION

The hospitals are also asking for revellers to consider an ounce of prevention. “That helps everybody because if everyone helps themselves, there’s that much less that goes on to other health providers,” Langevin said. If it’s hot and sunny, bring sunscreen, stay hydrated, and wear good shoes. “Look for services on the Hill. Those have been planned really well and there are services for the whole family,” she said. From a sexual assault perspective, Willmore said people should watch their drinks, be aware of their surroundings and report suspicious activity to police. West Ottawa resident Kira-Lynn Ferderber is an independent sexual violence prevention educator, working to inform others about bystander intervention to prevent sexual violence at festivals and parties. Ferderber said one of the problems with larger gatherings is bystander apathy. “You think someone else will step in,” she said, adding the result is that no one actually does. A large gathering could be the events on the Hill, or it could be at a house party, or cottage party, and sites where there aren’t always security guards or paramedics nearby. If someone looks vulnerable, it doesn’t hurt to ask how their night is going, if they need help, or if they are OK, she advised. It can be as simple as helping them locate friends. “Take care of each other, even if they might be fine, and regardless of race or gender. It may seem intimidating, but most people are glad they did step in,” Ferderber said.

Ice Dragon boats will be back in 2018, according to John Brooman, CEO and president of the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat teams from across the city braved the slush on the canal last February in the first-ever event.
Ice Dragon Boat Festival coming back BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Ice dragon boat races are coming back to Ottawa this winter. As organizers get ready for the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, taking place on the water from June 22 to 25, CEO and president of the event John Brooman confirmed he’s going to give the winter version another go. “We learned a lot in the first year. We think it’s something that will be a good long-term bit of fun for the city of Ottawa.” About two weeks ago, Brooman declined to say whether last year’s Ice Dragon Boat Festival, which was a North American first, would see a second year. He said it “went very, very well” despite some melting on the Saturday. “Overall, it was a huge, huge success. It garnered an incredible amount of international media exposure, so from a tourism perspective it was off the charts,” he said. Brooman said the ice is a big
mystery and so is the weather. He said it can’t be too cold for the competitors and spectators, or too warm because the ice melts. “Like any new event there were so many unknowns. We didn’t even know if we’d get the boats in time,” he said. “Personally, I found it exhilarating. It’s where we shine, taking something that’s really never been done before, trying to figure it out and make it happen,” he said. As of June 15, Brooman didn’t have a date for the coming winter, but the goal is for it to be part of Winterlude celebrations in 2018. He’s also working to find a title sponsor for what he hopes will become an annual event. As soon as the date is firm, registration will open. Earlier this year, 60 teams from around the world participated in the inaugural event. Teams came from China, Europe, Texas and California. Competitors also included some who annually participate in the summer dragon boat festival. The event sold out in eight minutes.
Not knowing how many teams the ice could accommodate, how long it would take teams to get to the finish line, meant 60 teams was a bit of a safe number. Next year will include more teams. “It was sort of funny, we really didn’t know,” Brooman said. The boats are equipped with a sled with two sets of skate blades, as well as braking and steering devices. Paddlers use ice sticks with seven picks to propel the boats forward. Before the event this year Brooman described it as a “risky venture” being put on with a shoestring budget of less than $50,000. After, he said the return on investment was worth it, with news of the event even reaching 500 million viewers in China alone. “Our exposure covered Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States. Nothing in 2017 will touch it,” he said. - With files from Erin McCracken

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

sandwich. So you should celebrate carefully. Always keep a bucket of water handy and some sand. Canada is located right next to the United States. That could be a problem. Also, some of your friends might be leaving for exciting vacations in the United States and that could make you sad. When the snow melts in the spring that could make you sad because your basement floods. Canada’s health system is the envy of many in the world but it costs the earth to park at the hospital. Sad. All that being said, it is our duty to note that some Canadians insist on ignoring the many warnings and just carrying on as if calamity did not lurk around every corner. Canada, in fact, has some people who are cheerful, optimistic, confident about the future, happy with their lives and
keen to celebrate. There’s probably a warning to be found in there somewhere, if you look hard enough. Just in case you don’t want to, you can enjoy the fact that we’re 150, and a democracy. There’s not a lot of countries that can make that claim.

Oh Canada: We have a drinking problem
A
s Canadians kick off the official start to summer with what is expected to be Ottawa’s biggest party ever for Canada’s sesquicentennial, we are sure to have cocktails in hand. And there’s a lot to celebrate. It was announced in December that Canada topped Lonely Planet’s “best places to travel in 2017” list. A few months after that, Canada was recognized in an international survey as the second best country in the world. “The Best Countries” survey of 21,000 individuals across 80 countries is conducted by U.S. News & World Report, Young & Rubicam BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Canada ranks high in a number of categories based on citizens’ self-reported satisfaction with things like quality of life (including politics, economy and access to health care), education, citizenship, green living and being open for business. The survey also ranks Canada fifth of 80 as being a great place to raise children and a positive place for women’s empowerment. No doubt about it, Canada is a great country and we should revel in that. But it may be how
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse we’re revelling that is problematic. Canadians are among the highest consumers of alcohol in the world, drinking 50 per cent more than the global average. It seems harmless, but Canadians need to wake up to the reality that alcohol is now a known leading contributor of more than 200 significant diseases and potentially fatal injuries. A 2010 study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) found that alcohol is the third leading cause of premature death, after smoking and high blood pressure. And not much has improved in the last seven years A 2017 study by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) found that more Canadians were hospitalized for alcohol than for heart attacks last year. CIHI reports that 77,000 Canadians were admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons in 2016, including for things like alcohol poisoning and liver failure, compared to just 75,000 for heart attacks.
The statistics don’t include hospitalizations related to driving or unreported personal injury from alcohol, which would see the numbers spike. Health advocates are concerned that the government may not be taking Canada’s drinking problem seriously enough. In June, it was the beer and wine lobby that saw a huge win when the Senate voted 46-32 to amend the Liberals’ omnibus budget bill. Among the amendments was the removal an automatic two per cent increase in tax on alcohol, with a plan to further increase alcohol taxes annually adjusted for inflation. That’s off the table now. Its money that health advocates would have liked to see put directly into hospitals and preventative care. The CIHI researchers note that overconsumption of alcohol is an enormous burden on our healthcare system and also on Canadians’ quality of life. Eighty per cent of Canadians drink. (Nothing says summer like a cold brew by a lake). But in the last few decades more has become known about the effects of alcohol on overall health. Alcohol consumption – even moderately for some people – significantly increases the risk of cancer, diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. “From 1990 to 2010, alcohol increased from the sixth to the third leading risk factor for death and disability globally,” notes the CIHI study. There are a number of things that affect how Canadians consume their brews. Areas that have more privatized sales of liquor tend to see higher consumption. Men are hospitalized more frequently than women for alcohol-related problems. Adolescent girls are more often treated for overconsumption than teen boys. And there are regional discrepancies as well. “Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Yukon and the Northwest Territories had higher-than-average rates of both alcohol sales and heavy drinking,” notes the report. Perhaps as we nurse our nation’s collective hangover in the days following the sesquicentennial celebrations, we should take the time in that self-loathing state to seriously contemplate our nation’s collective drinking problem. Because, regardless of diet, exercise and other factors, alcohol has the significant potential to reduce our quality life and cut short our time in what is one of the greatest countries on earth.

must “have an impressive beginning” of at least a minute, a false finale with four minutes to spare, and a grand finale of at least a minute. “The pyromusical fireworks display must be spectacular, colourful, and appealing to the spectators.” The display will use 150 of the largest shells authorized in Canada, as well as a variety of other sizes and products. The show will be jampacked, with no more than three seconds between explosions. Royal Pyrotechnie has been creating fireworks shows for the last half-century, according to its website. The team produces more than 300 shows a year and has won international awards for its work.

For 20 minutes and 17 seconds on Canada Day, the skies over Ottawa and Gatineau will be alight with a musical fireworks display. Canadian Heritage is spending almost $245,000 on this year’s display, which will be orchestrated by Quebec company Royal Pyrotechnie Inc. Most of the show will be launched from Nepean Point, starting at 11 p.m., but other launch sites are located along Confederation Boulevard, including two sites in Ottawa and two in Gatineau. The later start time, according to Canadian Heritage, is to accommodate more programming on Parliament Hill. A bigger turnout is expected for the sesquicentennial celebration and Canadian Heritage estimates about 400,000 peo-
ple will take in the three-day celebration. The evening show begins at 8:30 p.m. with performances by Alessia Cara, Walk Off The Earth, Cirque du Soleil, Louis-Jean Cormier, Marie-Mai, Dean Brody, Serena Ryder, Kelly Bado, Kinnie Starr, Lisa LeBlanc, Gordon Lightfoot, and more. The federal department in charge of the celebrations said the best viewing locations for the fireworks are behind the Canadian Museum of History and in Major’s Hill Park, where the soundtrack accompanying the show can also be heard. The government’s bid documents asked that companies plan for pyrotechnical effects to be fired from the front as well as both sides of the Peace Tower and the roof of Centre block during the show.

speaker, Isabel Metcalfe, founding chair of Famous 5 Ottawa, spoke about the personal lives of Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards, and their triumphant journey to have women declared “Persons.” After the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1927 that women were not considered “Persons” under the law, these courageous women petitioned the Privy Council of England, finally succeeding in 1929. “The Persons Case” was and continues to be a milestone ruling for women’s equality in Canada and throughout the world. Metcalfe also explained that in 2007, a committee in Ottawa was formed to lobby the federal government for a monument on Parliament Hill to commemorate the Famous Five. At that time, the only monuments were of the Fathers of Confederation, deceased prime minister’s and revered British monarchs. Within one week, the House
proved as well. Metcalfe’s passion, tremendous respect and admiration of these women was palpable, and all members enjoyed learning about this monumental achievement for Canada. “While our beloved country is not perfect, diversity and inclusiveness is testament to our values and can be a beacon of hope to the world,” said President Marlene Pitchers-Sylvester, who gave closing remarks at the recent celebration. “As a diverse community in Ottawa, the residents of Nepean—as well as all Canadians—can celebrate our 150th with pride, gratitude and love.” Active in public affairs and advocacy, CFUW Nepean this year raised $3,396 for four nursing students at Algonquin College who will be presented with $1,000 each to continue their educational goals.

From June 30 to July 2 Canadian Heritage will once again host the day and evening shows, which will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and the Canadian Museum of History. Extra screening will take place to get on Parliament Hill — with checkpoints and bag-checks. Revellers looking to take in the festivities are being warned to get there early. On June 30, Major’s Hill Park and the Canadian Museum of History will have special programming.

There will be a 21-gun salute and an air show includ-

Canada Day at Petrie Island is back after it was moved away to the Navan fairgrounds and then cancelled in early 2016. “It’s been very impressive to see so many different corners of the community come together,” said Adam Polka, the director of communications for Orléans Canada Day. “It’s pretty clear that Orléans was ready to get Canada Day back.” The barbecue festival and craft beer tent will open at Petrie Island on Friday and run through Sunday.

games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone Gym Area. Kidz Zone activities include bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot crafts, circus workshop and many more.

Jeremy Wittet chosen as Catholic board trustee BY MELISSA MURRAY
mmurray@metroland.com
The Catholic school board has chosen a new trustee to represent the Kitchissippi and Bay area. On June 20, Jeremy Wittet was chosen out of seven applicants to take over the position that was left vacant earlier this year when long-time trustee Betty-Ann Kealey died. He was sworn in the same day. “I have big shoes to fill and I look forward to picking up on the good work that she’s undertaken for the last number of terms on the board,” Wittet said days after his swearing in. Wittet’s term runs until October 2018 and in the meantime he’s hoping to get to know his schools, the people that run them and the students that go to them as well as possible. “In that time, I need to make sure I’m up to speed on the issues of Zone 7 that I’ve listened and met with all of our school councils, parents, principals and that I’ve become connected to the community,” Wittet said, adding he’s planning to run for the position in the next election. “A year flies by very quickly and I want to make the most out
of the time and certainly at this point in time I will seek a proper mandate from the voters in 2018 in the zone,” he said. His plan was to run for the job next year, but when the vacancy came up, he thought he’d throw his hat into the race to get a jump start. It’s not his first experience with school board. He was an Ontario student trustee for two years outside of Ottawa, and in 2014, Wittet unsuccessfully made a run for the public board. During his time as a student trustee, he said it gave him a solid understanding of how school boards function and the important role that they play in the lives of students and families. “It’s often the forgotten level of government,” he said, “but it’s really important to many people.” His father was also an educator for 30 years and Wittet said he got all of the teaching ability and he said joining the Catholic board can be his contribution to education on the governance side. Wittet is currently the chief of staff for Ottawa’s Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic and previously worked for the federal and pro-
te the Sweetness of Summer at Tas
vincial governments. He’s also a parishioner at Blessed Sacrament in the Glebe. Wittet said his priorities for the next 18 months include making sure student voices are heard, and since the zone is so diverse and vibrant that there are the proper supports for new Canadians in the west end so they feel included culturally and have the proper linguistic supports. He’s also very interested in how the board can play a role in making sure that senior elementary and high school students are educated about illicit drugs, as the city faces its own opioid crisis. “Protecting our kids from opioids and fentanyl is an important issue.” Wittet was chosen after candidates spent five minutes answering questions from trustees aned three rounds of secret ballot voting. In a press release, chairperson of the board Elaine McMahon said, “We are pleased to have Mr. Wittet join the Board after the loss of Trustee Kealey. We look forward to his contributions as we go forward in our mission of Catholic education.”

Fighting the opioid crisis: a community eFFort By: Mayor Jim Watson For some time now, the City of Ottawa has been facing a serious public health crisis in relation to the misuse and overdose of opioid drugs. Statistics show that each year, 30 opioid overdose related death happen in our city. The recent emergence of illicit fentanyl as a drug filler puts even more people at risk for overdose. Illicit fentanyl is much more toxic than other pharmaceutical opioids and because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye, there is no easy way to know if drugs have been cut with fentanyl. A very small amount can cause a fatal overdose. With tragedies already tearing our communities apart, it is clear is that we must work with community partners on a responsive multi-faceted opioid strategy. Over the last few months, there has been an important dialogue between municipalities and upper levels of government on how best to coordinate efforts that will lead to a reduction of overdose deaths across Canada, including Ottawa. The Province of Ontario recently announced new base funding of $350,000 for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to directly support our local substance misuse strategy. The Province also announced the distribution of almost 80,000 additional naloxone kits, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, per year to front-line organizations. We know what access to naloxone can save lives. In the last year, 160 pharmacies have collectively distributed more than 4,000 naloxone kits in Ottawa alone. The city is facilitating training on how to respond to an overdose using naloxone for staff and volunteers at Ottawa’s shelters, downtown bars and festivals. Additionally, firefighters at all 45 fire stations in the City of Ottawa have recently completed training on how to administer naloxone and all City of Ottawa fire trucks now carry naloxone on board. We are also preparing for Ottawa Police Service members to administer naloxone when needed. But we must also tackle the roots of this crisis. Through public education, drug enforcement, and by providing better access to affordable housing, mental health support and clear pathways out of poverty, we can make a significant difference. Ottawa Public Health has been at the forefront of the fight on the opioid crisis. Last November, its Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force (OPRTF) launched a collaborative public education and awareness campaign called StopOverdoseOttawa. ca. Since its launch, this site has recorded over 25,000 visits. OPH is also engaging with all four Ottawa school boards, the Ottawa Police Service, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, and Maison Fraternité, as well as student leaders, to develop a youth-to-youth approach to better engage our youth. Through of age-appropriate presentations to Grade 4 to 12 students, we have reached close to 6,000 students and provided invaluable information on the risks of opioid use and misuse. I am confident that our shared goals and collaborative efforts will translate into a decrease in drug misuse and overdose in time. More information about counterfeit pills, overdose prevention, naloxone and local treatment resources can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.

Councillor Comments By Jan Harder
School is wrapping up, splash pads are full of laughing kids in the evenings and weekends and gardens are looking lush. It has been a wonderful June and to kick off the summer the City is throwing a huge party. Canada Day 2017 is just around the corner and promises to be an event to remember. This year especially, there are lots of awesome choices for you to enjoy your Canada Day. Downtown will be full of excitement as we expect to see record numbers of visitors visiting our nation’s capital for its 150 th birthday. Ottawa Tourism has a great site for finding information about all the fun happening downtown (ottawatourism.ca). But if you are like me, and enjoy a more local celebration – you are in luck because Barrhaven has a HUGE celebration held right here at Clarke Fields in Barrhaven. And this year’s Mattamy Homes Canada Day is shaping up to be the biggest one yet! In previous years the celebrations have brought more than 10,000 people to Barrhaven to enjoy parades, music, activities, and what I believe have been some of the best fireworks in the City if not the best. If you have been part of Mattamy’s Barrhaven Canada Day in the past you will know why I say that. This year will feature something for everyone. The Kidz Zone will have a free Kidz Zone Activity Area with games for children of all ages and a Kidz Zone Stage with many young child friendly acts. Want rides? The Barrhaven midway will be open, not just for Canada Day, but all weekend, from June 29 to July 2 and will feature exciting rides, games and food for children and adults alike. I have no doubt you will enjoy a truly multi-cultural event with song and dance, language and dress that brings together the various ethnic and religious persuasions represented in our diverse community and featured on the Multi-Cultural Stage. The Main Stage will be rocking and will be the site of the opening ceremonies. Truly representative of our wide diversity of our growing community – I know you will not be disappointed with the entertainment throughout the day. And of course, the day will end with a spectacular fireworks show choreographed to music which is sure to amaze people of all ages. As with any event, while it seems like Darrell Bartraw makes it happen by magic, it is with the assistance of the tireless efforts of volunteers. There is always room for more helpers! There is a full listing of the volunteer needs at: http://canadadaybarrhaven.ca/heres-what-you-needto-know/volunteer-opportunities/. There are a number of different ways you can participate, and every little bit helps make the event bigger and better. My day will start off hosting a Senior’s Pancake Breakfast sponsored by V!VA Retirement Community. Thank you V!VA! Then you will find me at my second annual Social Photo Booth where you can have fun with your friends and create some memories. It is sort of like a photo booth, just without the booth, and you can cram 8 or more people into one photo! The booth will be there from 11 am to 4 pm on Canada Day, so don’t forget to pop by and say Hi! I loved seeing your tweets and pics last year! I would like to end with a huge thanks to our organizers who work tirelessly to make sure we have fun. And we couldn’t have our party without all the dedicated men and women first responders who keep us safe during the festivities. They will work so we can celebrate and deserve a huge thank you! Whatever you’re up to – I hope you enjoy all our City has to offer for the 150th Birthday. 24 Nepean-Barrhaven News - Thursday, June 29, 2017

Eating chokecherries anddrinking milk is dangerous according to Emerson
I
t wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine,
MARY COOK Memories Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box. “You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.”
He took out a handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-wa-
ter, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Kanata building business with new Central bia The heart of Kanata’s vibrant commercial zone is now a focused business community. After a year of planning and preparation, Ottawa officially welcomes its 19th Business Improvement Area (BIA) to represent Kanata’s rapidly growing retail core in the area surrounding Kanata Centrum and Signature Centre. The Kanata Central shopping district has it all. You can shop all day, then dine and enjoy an evening out and even stay over! The area within the BIA’s boundaries features more than 150 businesses offering a huge array of goods and services – including big box retail, smaller locally owned shops that cater to a wide variety of specialty tastes and interests, car dealerships, health services, restaurants, movie theatres, nightclubs, hotels and so much more. Operating with an estimated annual budget of about $150,000, KCBIA brings business, people, and property owners together and, with the support of the City of Ottawa and others as necessary, to organize, finance, and carry out improvements and promote ‘smart’ growth and economic development consistent with its mission. Like its counterparts in other areas of the city, Kanata Central BIA is governed by a board of directors recruited from the local business community. Chair is Adam Stuart, Canadian Tire and Vice chair is Sean O’Leary, MYHome Furniture. Secretary is Neil Highet, Fat Tuesday’s, and Treasureris Faye Potter, RBC Kanata Commons. Directors include
Kirk Sauriol, Staples; David Brown, Mucho Burrito; Paul Lynds, The Brick as well as Kanata North Councillor Marianne Wilkinson. “The newly formed Kanata Central BIA was motivated to come together due changing business dynamics for how people purchase goods and pressures to the market from local and online sources. With the rapid housing growth in the west end of Ottawa, there is a dire need to re-vitalize and grow the region a destination for shopping, entertainment, and hospitality. Even people who shop in the area regularly don’t know all we have to offer!” said Adam Stuart. “Additionally, the KCBIA will provide and communicate critical information back to the KCBIA membership regarding initiatives and activities of any entity including the City of Ottawa which may impact the business district and its member enterprises.” A non-profit organization, Kanata Central BIA is funded through area-specific levies on all commercially assessed properties within the defined boundary. Levies are determined by a BIA’s yearly budget and are paid as part of property taxes. For more information, visit kanatacentralbia.wordpress.com or facebook@ kanatacentralBIA.

Green party of Ontario names new candidate for Nepean-Carleton riding Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

The Nepean Sailing Club is hosting the Get Out On The Water event on Saturday, June 24. The province-wide initiative runs all day and will have all those who register sail all kinds of boats with the assistance of the sailing club staff. Two types of boat will be showcased at the event, crewed by both staff and attendees. The dingy is a small boat with a crew of three, one staffer and two others. The
keelboat is a bit larger and will carry of a crew of three or four. So far the event is scheduled for 130 people to get out on the water and experience a sport that many landlubbers don’t have access to. Sailing is known to be an expensive sport but according to the Nepean Sailing Club’s director of communications, Callum Smith, that’s a common misconception. In fact, sailing has become increasingly accessible, he said. The club even has a program called Able Sail, which allows
people with disabilities to experience sailing. Get Out On The Water is jointly organized by Ontario Sailing and Row Ontario, and is being held at sailing clubs all across Ontario. Each group will sail for about 45 minutes and will be shown the proper techniques to sail a boat successfully on the Ottawa River. Afterwards, attendees will enjoy lunch and have the opportunity to meet with staff and ask questions. Tickets are sold out at this time but there is a waitlist for those who are interested.
Nepean residents have a new Green party candidate for provincial parliament. James O’Grady has been nominated as the Green party of Ontario candidate for the Nepean-Carleton riding. O’Grady is a grassroots democracy advocate and social media entrepreneur who founded and launched UnpublishedOttawa. com in 2013. He ran unsuccessfully in 2010 for city council for Ward 9 where he came in second out of 10 with just under 20 per cent of support. “The Green Party has a tremendous opportunity in the next provincial election,” O’Grady wrote. “Especially in Nepean, where we have an incumbent who hasn’t really achieved much in 11 years in opposition, and a Liberal government that is well past it’s ‘Best Before Date’. O’Grady has lived in the riding since he was three years old. He attended all three of the public schools on Greenbank Road (Knoxdale Public School, Greenbank Middle School and Sir Robert Borden High School). Recently, O’Grady stepped down as the president of the Trend-Arlington Community Association after serving from 2009-2016. During that time
he helped to lead community opposition to two large developments on Greenbank Road. He also coached youth softball, organized the hockey day shinny tournament ‘Hockey Day in Ward 9,’ founded the Knoxdale-Merivale Council of Community Associations in Ward 9. O’Grady is also an opponent to the recent rash of school closings in Nepean and believes that students should not only have the right to study in their own communities but to also not have to rely on long bus rides to get to school. “For voters who were dismayed by the public school closings in Nepean’s oldest communities, they have a champion in me and the Green Party,” wrote
O’Grady. “I will not rest until we can restore the very successful community education model in Ontario so children can go to school in their local community with friends and family, and be supported by the people who love them most. “ On top of that he served two years as VP Communications for the Federation of Citizens Associations in Ottawa, an umbrella organization of community associations and community groups in Ottawa. While with the FCA, Mr. O’Grady organized two public information sessions on the Emerald Ash Borer beetle that has destroyed millions of trees in Ontario alone. He is also a member of the Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s capital.

New Reporter Joins the Metroland Team Hello! My name is Christopher Whan and I am your new reporter for the Nepean/Barrhaven News. I graduated from Algonquin College in 2015 with a diploma in Journalism, during that time I actually interned here at Metroland Media. I was born in Kingston, Ontario but for the last seven years Ottawa has been my home, the first five of which were spent in Barrhaven. I currently live closer to downtown but will soon be moving back to Barrhaven. I have worked in media ever since I graduated but this is the first time since my internship that I have focussed on community news. I previously worked with television print media but I’m glad to be back working in a job that lets me meet real people. That’s enough about Chris the journalist, now lets talk a little about Chris the person. I currently live with my fiancé with our wedding coming up in September of this year. We have two pets, a corgi named Winston Churchill and a cat named Willow. A lot of out free time is taken up by adventures with the dog, pet events and drives out to parks but any chance I get I am at home playing with any form of tech I can get my hands on. I’m super excited to get started here at the Nepean/Barrhaven News and I can’t wait to meet a host of new people along the way.

Canada Day bash in Barrhaven Olympians help celebrate Canada’s 150th birthdayin new festivities BY Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com
This year Barrhaven’s Canada Day celebrations are set to be bigger than ever to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Children are well set this year as the Kidz Zone boasts a free activity area with games for children of all ages. The Kidz Zone stage will host child friendly acts, and a four-day midway from June 29 to July 2 has games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone gym area. Kidz Zone activities include: bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot craft, a circus workshop and more. The gym area will run between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and with interactive events hosted by groups, businesses and athletes from the area. Olympic hurdler Sekou Kaba and Olympian Kashani Thomas will host seminars on their respective sports. Taekwondo world champion Kayla Maduk will be there to speak about her Believe project and the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts will hold demonstrations as well. Activities will also include mul-
ticultural expression in the form of song, dance, language and dress. All of this will be found on the MultiCultural Stage. Food from many different cultures will also be present. All of this, according to Canada Day Barrhaven organizers, will illustrate the growing diversity in Barrhaven. According to event president Darrell Bartraw, the gym area idea was born from the athletic groups who were interested in being a part of the multicultural celebrations. The idea for an interactive, fitness-based section was conceived and added to the Kidz Zone. Other new additions to the celebration include a classic car show, and performances by live, local bands on stage on June 30 for a pre-Canada Day celebration. On the morning of July 1 at 8 a.m. V!VA Retirement Community will host a seniors breakfast, hosted by Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. On the main stage, prior to the main acts performing, there will be a parade of all the territorial, provincial and Canadian flags, accompanied by the singing of the national anthem. Official remarks from MP Chandra Arya, MPP Metroland file photo Lisa MacLeod and Harder will all be read. The day will end with a fireworks From Left, Cameron, Peter and Emma Kalil show off their winnings durdisplay. ing the Canada Day festivities in Barrhaven last year

Ottawa Police begins youth education campaign on “regulated interactions” March of 2016 by the Province which made major changes to the way police conduct street checks (now called regulated interactions). “YAC was looking for something to help them, and others, better understand the changes being implemented,” said Regulated Interactions Program Lead and Acting Inspector Jim Elves. “They wanted to create ‘a guide so to speak’ that explained to people what their options were in a way that anyone could understand.” Now called “regulated interactions” police can still stop you and ask you who you are but only under certain circumstances. If these cir-
cumstances aren’t met you can refuse to show identification or ask for a receipt from the ofchristopher.whan@metroland.com ficer.

Nonetheless, we want people to clearly understand their rights and this tool is a great resource. It will be on our website because we want people to access it.” Formed in 2012, the Youth Advisory Committee brings together approximately 20 youth who are 13 to 24 years old from across the city to the Elgin Street police station on a monthly basis for a meeting to discuss public events aimed toward youth. The YAC spent approximately a month reading through the legislation and putting it into layman’s terms.

As of June 14, more than 1,000 people had already signed up to take part, Sheedy said. Some of the events are free, with other events included for those with city facility memberships or charged the regular drop-in rate, which is $8.75 for adults.

A giant Zumba class with more than 150 participants danced and shimmied their way into Canada 150 celebrations. The class was held on June 8 in Orléans at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, and was one of the first 150 events to be held at city fitness facilities to celebrate Canada’s milestone birthday. The idea came from a brainstorm session about how rec facilities in the city could celebrate Canada 150. “We got chatting and we thought, ‘What if we did 150 different fitness classes across the city – things we wouldn’t normally do,’” said Kendra Sheedy, city communications co-ordinator for recreation cultural and facilities services. “We threw it out to all the different recreation supervisors across the city.” Staff from different fitness facilities responded with their ideas – which range from a day of all Beatles music to a zombie cycling class – and a schedule of special classes and events were put together. “Things are really popular are when we take classes outside – outdoor boot camps, yoga under the stars,” she said. “A regular class but putting a spin on it.” Sheedy said she expects the outdoor yoga classes to be the most

A NEW CHAPTER IS UNFOLDING AT
QUEENSWAY CARLETON HOSPITAL 2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY • SUPPLEMENT Do you remember Expo 67? Gordon Lightfoot’s Canadian Railroad Trilogy, or the lighting of the Centennial Flame. The hundreds of centennial projects that broke ground across the country. Canada’s centennial year was a year of celebration; a year of remembering the past, but also building for the future. 50 years on, as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary, Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) is embarking on a new chapter of its own, having just marked its 40th anniversary year. We have a vision to transform our hospital, laying a foundation for a generation to come.
ENHANCING MORE THAN JUST SPACE
SEIZING THE MOMENT With the newly launched Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly Unit, and a revamped Emergency Department, QCH has had much to celebrate this year. But we’ve really only just begun. In April 2017, QCH received approval for a new Mental Health expansion and renovation, made possible through QCH Foundation’s Hopes Rising campaign, and provincial government funding. With groundbreaking on the horizon, and units due to be shuffled, we’re seizing the moment to revamp the remainder of our original 1976 hospital space – the original building that opened its doors to this community some 40 years ago.
We’re preparing for a full transformation from the original building design, with increased natural light, accessible washrooms, glare free flooring, and enhanced technology for optimal patient care and comfort. We’re integrating what we’ve learned through the success of our ACE Unit, and enhancing our space unit-by-unit. It’s a major undertaking, renovating three inpatient units and our mental health unit; we are scheduled to break ground this year and wrap up by 2020.
This year, QCH is also improving one of its busiest services in diagnostic imaging. Every year, QCH performs some 7500 mammograms, helping to detect breast cancer faster, when it is most treatable. As demand from our community increases, we are seeking support for new, advanced 3D mammography technology, the gold standard in breast imaging. This his new technology will allow us to screen more people and offer enhanced imaging, improving diagnoses. It’s all part of preparing for the future, and we’re committed to enhancing both our physical space and our care to do just that.
As we celebrate our nation’s 150th anniversary, we also say thank you to our community for supporting QCH for the past 40 years. As Canada looks towards the future, QCH is building for our community to be able to provide you and your family with the best possible care when you need us most.

Former Nepean councillor retires from housing board
Lee Farnworth has served her community in several capacities for over 30 years After three decades of working in local politics, long-time public servant Lee Farnworth has retired from her post as a board member of the non-profit Nepean Housing Corporation. Since the early ‘80s Farnworth has worked in some capacity for the citizens of Nepean either as a councillor or a member of the Nepean Housing Corporation. Farnworth’s service was celebrated on Tuesday, June 20, at 4:30 p.m. during the housing corp’s annual general meeting at the NHC head office at 16 Kilbarron Road. Formerly, she served as a councillor for two terms in the former city of Nepean, as well as a hydro commissioner. Farnworth’s is a board member for the Nepean Housing Corporation and she has held positions with affordable housing groups for many years. Notably, before serving as a board member she was the president of the Nepean Housing Corporation.
During her tenure at the housing corporation Farnworth spearheaded affordable housing developments throughout Nepean. Farnworth Manor on Beatrice Dr. was named after her as she was integral to the building of community housing in New Barrhaven. On top of her local work,

Watching out for the vulnerable: OC Transpo drivers honoured BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
went above and beyond to keep people and transit users safe. The men honoured took action in a variety of situations, including returning lost children or seniors with memory disorders back to their homes. Stephen, a bus driver from Bay ward, put in a different type of call -- he found a purse onboard that had $10,000 in it. He returned the purse, and all the cash. Another group of drivers performed CPR on an operator in distress at the OC Transpo building on St. Laurent Boulevard, performing chest compressions until a defibrillator could be used -- actions a doctor at the hospital said saved their co-worker’s life. Cumberland ward driver Kert Berneche stopped robbery suspects by recognizing they were aboard his bus when he heard descriptions broadcast. He pulled the bus over, telling passengers he was ahead of schedule, until police officers arrived. Another driver rescued a woman on his bus who had attempted to die by suicide. Another stopped to get to safety an autistic boy running in busy traffic on Scott Street.
If it wasn’t for a Para Transpo driver who performed CPR, a woman probably would have died. Orléans’ Jean-Marc Pilon was one of 16 OC Transpo drivers who were honoured at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 20 for their actions in 2016. On Dec. 12, 2016, Pilon was dealing with one of his OC Transpo clients when the escort of a different woman on board the Para Transpo bus came to tell him the woman couldn’t breathe. “I rushed back in, I looked at my passenger, and I noticed she was not breathing anymore, so I went to the radio, told them to send (paramedics) and started CPR,” Pilon said. Pilon had gone through the mandatory first aid and CPR training, but he’d never performed CPR before. “You don’t think of what you need to do next, you just go and do it,” he said. “I went along, and did what I had to do, and it worked out for the best.” Medical staff said if he hadn’t done anything in the seven to eight minutes it took them to respond, the woman would have died. The Transecure program is described as a DRIVER OF THE YEAR “community watch program on wheels,” and is Barrhaven’s Frank Boushey took home a line that employees can call into to deal with top honours for being the stand-out of 2016. the safety or well-being of residents. “I didn’t expect this,” he said. “It was quite In 2016, 175 Transecure calls were logged, many of them involving children or seniors, said the shocker getting this, I’m proud.” city staff.

Boushey was driving his regular 97 route early in the morning on Nov. 20 when he stopped at South Keys and saw a young girl wearing just shorts and a tank top, carrying bags. He said she approached the bus, but then turned around, so he and went to see if she was OK. She told him she was pregnant,
and had just been thrown out of the house by her boyfriend. “She was carrying, four, five bags with her. She was a young girl in shorts and a tank top in the winter, it was cold out,” he said. “It was like -15. She said, ‘I was afraid to approach your bus, I had no money, I didn’t want you to say no to me.’ I said, ‘Sometimes you just need to
ask.’” He was able to get transit operators to meet him along the route and pick up the young woman, who was escorted to a safe place. Boushey’s brother and brother-in-law were some of the family members who attended the ceremony to watch drivers honoured for their efforts.

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on June 14, 2017 established its intention to designate Macdonald Gardens Park at 99 Cobourg Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 99 Cobourg Street, Macdonald Gardens Park Description of Property – 99 Cobourg Street Macdonald Gardens Park is an urban park bounded by Tormey, Cobourg, Heney and Wurtemburg Streets and is identified as being of cultural heritage value. The park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Todd in 1914 and is located in Lowertown East. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Macdonald Gardens Park, an evolving cultural heritage landscape, is of cultural heritage value as a park designed by Frederick Todd, one of Canada’s early landscape architects, who planned many parks across the country. The park has evolved from a cemetery, to one of Ottawa’s early planned landscapes with winding paths, native trees and open spaces, and a stone summer house on top of a hill, and is now a recreational park. Macdonald Gardens Park is of historical value as an early project of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was established in 1899 to beautify the capital. The park also has historical value because it was constructed on the site of a former cemetery. Between the years 1845 and 1873 the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist and Roman Catholic churches used this site as the Sandy Hill cemeteries.

Cityview resident shares bigger picture of Canada tario. Her eyes are set on Quebec next, with aspirations for a westward trek in the near future. Approaching random strangers on the street may be intimidating for some people, but Causley has yet to experience any negative people on her trek. Once people hear she is doing this project for Canada 150, they’ve become much more receptive. Some have even shared their own plans with her for how they are going to celebrate Canada Day. Causley prefers to focus on the everyday people the most in her project. So far Causley has raised $350 of her $7,000 travel goal, most of which will be used to fund any car repairs, food and lodging for her trip. She’s set up a funding initiative at www.gofundme.com/TheWhiteBoardProjectbyBeth.

Beth Causley, a resident of Cityview in Nepean, is celebrating by illustrating all kinds of Canadians through the White Board Project. Causley is a self-taught photographer and plans to make her way across the country asking people to think of one word that describes Canada. They then write that word on a whiteboard and she takes a picture of them with it. “It’s those conversations with everyday people that I find the most interesting,” said Causley. “I want to try and show the diversity of Canadians that make up our country.” So far Causley has made her way to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and On-

Company of Fools launches 15th season BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
This summer marks a special year for the well-known travelling theatre troupe, A Company of Fools. The organization will celebrate its 15th anniversary of the fools’ Torchlight Shakespeare Series, which brings Shakespeare plays to parks across the city. For the special year, the company will perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream — a tale about a love triangle, a feuding king and queen and of course an enchanted forest — a perfect mix for this silly group of actors. The show runs from July 3 to Aug. 19. All shows begin at 7 p.m. There is a special Canada Day preview show taking place outside FOR SALE

of the city, at the fairgrounds in Merrickville. That show begins at 6 p.m. Established in 1990 as Ottawa’s original professional Shakespeare company, the theatre group does productions inside and out, and is most well-known for the travelling shows in city parks. The Company of Fools takes the seriousness of Shakespeare’s plays and has fun with it — with each actor playing multiple roles, incorporate slapstick and physical comedy aims to make this production a hilarious, fast-paced experience for the audience. There is also an interactive twist — which aims to give the audience a role as well. The production will be directed by Mary Ellis, and will feature perFOR SALE

The summer fun will begin in Sandy Hill’s Strathcona Park on July 3. Theatre goers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs.

City votes for slowing down a portion of River Road BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Residents north of the Vimy Bridge who have been asking for the city to get drivers to slow down got some satisfaction on June 14. The speed limit on River, between Lowen Drive and 110 metres south of Tewsley Drive, will go down to 60 km/h, from the current 70 km/h. Some councillors were skeptical that the move would change driver behaviour, and the staff report suggests the same. But Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said he and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans have spent a lot of time working with the community to come up with a solution. “There’s been two years of work with the community on traffic calming solutions,” Qaqish said. “There’s buy-in.” Qaqish added there is a section of the road where residents have trouble getting out of their driveways because of the speed of oncoming traffic. A group of River Road residents launched a petition in early September to coincide with their ‘Take Back River Road’ campaign.’ Robert Squires, a member of the campaign who lives in the Cedardale community at the north end of River Road, told Metroland Me-

Coun. Michael Qaqish
A traffic services report says the speed of traffic is 87, based on an international standard that calculates the actual speed of traffic in order to set a safe speed limit. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said driver compliance with the speed limit is really low, and suggested dropping the limit won’t help much without increased police presence. Osgoode Coun. George Darouze had the same opinion, saying the speed limit already fluctuates too much on that road. “This isn’t a subdivision, you can’t drive 60,” he said.

dia in November, that road rage and aggressive and intimidating drivers have become the new norm. Deans said the city spent a lot of money to widen Limebank Road, but drivers are still taking the path of least resistance and speeding down River Road. She said the change might not go far enough, and suggested the stretch could be dropped to 60.

Canada Goose Arctic Gallery unveiled BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER
michelle.nash@metroland.com
A new exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature is really cool. The museum unveiled its permanent Canada Goose Arctic gallery on June 20. The gallery officially opens to the public on June 21. “I hope this gallery inspires Canadians to want to go to the Arctic,” said Meg Beckel, president and chief executive officer of the museum. The 743-square-metre gallery, located on the fourth floor of the museum, aims to take visitors on a trip to the Arctic — and the first stop in the gallery is a multimedia art installation where sights, sounds and even touch bring the Arctic to Ottawa. Beyond Ice is a large art installation made completely of real ice. A partnership between the museum and the National Film Board of Canada, exhibit designer, Daniel Boivin explained Beyond Ice features Arctic scenes and animation by Inuit artists projected on the ice. Touch the ice and it melts, but as Boivin points out the ice, which is built on steel structures, meant
to look like breaking sea ice, will never fully melt — rather consistently stay cool. “The challenge was we had to find an expert in ice display — which we found they are few and far to find,” Boivin said, adding that they found some experts in France who helped design the structure. “It’s live, it melts,” Boivin said. The designer said, however, it would never fully melt — no matter how many excited hands touch the melting structure. “The amount of which it evaporates is equal to the amount that is formed,” Boivin said — meaning it will always stay the same size. When the museum was working on developing ideas for the gallery, Boivin said, whenever they looked to incorporate photos into the exhibit they found the photos just didn’t work. “It just looked like a tourism video,” Boivin said. Boivin credits the NFB for coming up with the creative alternative. “I think they really turned this into an art form,” he said. Etienne Paquette worked
meot Heritage Society, based in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. The exhibit explores the culture of the Inuinnait (Copper Inuit) and examines the centennial anniversary of Inuinnait contact with Europeans, with around 50 historic artifacts and contemporary items on display. Kitikmeot elders attended the June 20 preview — checking out the display, as well as the entire Arctic gallery. Entry to the Canada Goose Arctic Gallery will be included with general museum admission. For more information about the gallery or the museum, visit nature.ca.

Canada Day: When more animals need us than any other day. The OHS is just a few days away from its the busiest day of the year: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into the OHS. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. And the 150th celebration means this year there will be more and bigger fireworks displays than we have seen in 50 years. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at the shelter.

Wake up your taste buds with these hand-crafted favourites inspired by the Great White North – the Great Canadian Artisan Sausage and the Gourmet Poutine Burger! Made fresh by us with only the best Canadian ingredients like cheese curds, maple syrup and bacon. Try one today, eh?

Bo (ID# A200837)
Bo (ID# A200837) Meet Bo, a handsome and energetic boy looking for his new best friend. Bo is an active dog who loves to explore the outdoors, whether on walks, runs, hikes or even just playing in the yard — he never passes up the chance to get a healthy dose of exercise! Bo gets along great with canine friends but would prefer a feline-free home. Bo would benefit from an adult family who will help him learn lots of new tricks. Bo is currently participating in our LEAD (Leadership Education with Adolescents & Dogs) obedience training program and his adoption can’t be finalized until his last day of classes on July 2, but he’s available for viewing at the shelter in the meantime.
Second, late-June, early-July is peak season for animals surrendered to the OHS by their owner. As holidays approach, and vacation plans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat doesn’t fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, the OHS can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to the shelter every single day! You can help make sure that animals are safe, fewer need OHS care, and those that do, find their way home or into a new loving home by taking the following steps and trying to ensure that your friends and neighbours do the same: 1. Keep pets indoors Canada Day. 2. Make sure pets have a visible collar and tag and a permanent microchip implant. 3. Plan for holidays for your pets. Help others care for their pets when away. 4. Ensure all pets are sterilized. 5. Adopt a homeless animal at the OHS. From everyone at the Ottawa Humane Society, have a safe and happy Canada Day!
For more information on Bo and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may need to dim your lights so you do not outshine others, Aries. You can be a force and it pays to let others share a bit of the spotlight. This will garner some goodwill.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if personal growth or a change has been on your mind, why not get started this week? You may benefit from a minor makeover or a change of scenery.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to get off the fence, Aquarius. You have to make a decision even if the answer you are leaning toward is painful or complicated. Once you move on you’ll be content.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may need to sort out a complicated relationship that has you trying to figure out who is friend who, if anyone, is foe. Play it carefully until you have all of the facts. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Sift through all of your financial matters and start to get your ducks in a row, Cancer.
