Cadets Connaught invites guests to check out facility Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

On Thursday, July 20, I was invited to be a ‘Cadet for a Day’ at the Cadets Connaught Training Facility in Shirley’s Bay. The training facility has been in operation since the 1920s, serving the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Cadet program. Since 1989, it has served as the exclusive ranges for marksmanship training for the cadet program. Upon arrival, I was greeted by my public affairs officer Capt. Grant Cree and brought into the facility. After the appropriate paperwork, we made out way directly to my most anticipated event of the day, the full-bore rifle range. Exclusive to the army cadet corps, the full-bore range has cadets firing c12 competition rifles using 7.62 mm rounds at targets 500 metres away. Cadets are in groups of three and all have rifles that are sized accordingly and to

whether they shoot right or left-handed. They are also provided with all necessary safety equipment. Each team consists of a shooter, a spotter and one person safely down at the targets to place markers where the shots land. The teams rotate after each round with every cadet firing 12 rounds total. The first two rounds are used for targeting and the following ten are scored according to how close to a bullseye they can get. Their scores are compiled and all the top shooters are chosen to compete at shooting both in Canada and abroad. This is the third year that Nepean native cadet Darcy Hayden has participated in the program. She’s one of 11 girls in the program and a big fan. “ It’s a very enjoyable experience,” said Haydon. In the phase 2 program I witnessed there are 44 cadets. 30 Canadians and 14 British who are here for an exchange program. See CADET, page 3

‘Cadet’ gets a shot at firing range Continued from page 2

I was given the opportunity to shoot a couple of rounds. As I had never fired a gun before, this was a whole new experience for me. I was given five rounds and managed a bullseye. My experience was just a fraction of what army cadets get at the ranges and it was already really neat. The most important part of this program, I was told, is teaching the significance of safety with firearms. Because safety is a top priority at the facility, activities cease when the weather gets too hot. After the abseil (rappel) tower, which I totally chickened out for, we stopped for lunch. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooling down so we called an end to the day. It was really interesting to see the fundamental skills these cadets learn during their time at

the facility. Everyone was incredibly respectful and all looked like they were having a great time. Over 1,200 cadets come to the ranges every year to train and it’s got the feel of a summer camp, but all the structure and security of a military base. It’s fun, but it’s also a lot of hard work. But with all the great activities and, from what I can tell, the great friendships, make this a worthwhile experience for kids and it’s totally free. For those who want to know more about the cadet program and see it in action, there will be a parade on Aug. 4 in Carp starting at 9:30 a.m. More than 600 cadets from the camp will make their way down Donald B. Munro Drive in the annual Veterans Appreciation Parade. Following the parade there will be a ceremonial service at the West Carleton War Memorial.

Police board chair calls Canada Day security ‘unmitigated disaster’ by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The security response on our nation’s 150th birthday was an unmitigated disaster, said police services board vice chair Jim Durrell. After police Chief Charles Bordeleau finished his verbal report at

the July 24 meeting, Durrell said he had to discuss the Canada Day festivities. “It’s been on my mind for 23 days,” he said. While Durrell said he didn’t blame the RCMP or Ottawa police, he said people waiting in lines for hours without access to bathrooms

was a win for terrorists and a loss for rank-and-file Canadians. “Would you come back?” he asked the chief, adding if the trend continues, there won’t be anyone on the Hill to provide security for during Canada Day celebrations in the future. Following the city’s last council

meeting before summer break, River Coun. Riley Brockington publicly stated that he thought the federal government should issue a public apology for the handling of the lines on Parliament Hill. Mayor Jim Watson and Bordeleau did warn the public of long lines, in the days leading up to the celebrations, but some people waited up to six hours to gain access. Police services board chair Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, asked Bordeleau if debriefings about the security are still ongoing and said he wasn’t happy with use of resources around the VIP area. “There was hardly anyone there at times, those resources could have been redirected,” he said. El-Chantiry also invited Durrell to write to the federal minister in charge about his concerns. Bordeleau said he would convey the message, but that the handling of security on Parliament Hill itself was under the jurisdiction of the RCMP. Bordeleau said there are many events still ongoing — like La Machine taking place this weekend — and police and event organizers should try to apply some of the lessons learned from Canada Day.

Board member Sandy Smallwood said since Ottawa “wears it” when a big event in the capital is a flop, the city should have some input into the handling of events. Durrell said he didn’t think the way people were led onto the Hill through “cattle lines” helped with

‘It’s been on my mind for 23 days’ jim durrell

security. Bordeleau defended the protocol though, saying given the global climate, it was important for there to be a “visible and layered” defence. Bordeleau said security wasn’t the problem. He said the failure is from an event management perspective and event organizers didn’t process people as quickly as they could have.

3rd Annual Ward 22 Community BBQ – Thank you!

Zoning By-law Amendment for properties affected by the May 2017 flooding In accordance with the Planning Act, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. Public meetings The public meetings to consider this zoning proposal are as follows: • Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Thursday September 7, 10 a.m., The Chamber, Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive • Planning Committee Tuesday September 12, 9:30 a.m., Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West Lands subject to the proposal The zoning amendment proposal affects lands in the vicinity of watercourses that were impacted by flooding, as described below. Additional locations may be added as identified through this zoning by-law amendment process. Purpose and effect of the proposed amendment The proposed amendment will relieve property owners of the need for minor variances if they are repairing or reconstructing buildings and structures damaged by the flooding that occurred in May 2017. The amendments will avoid the need for minor variances associated with rebuilding in a less flood-prone location on a lot, or as a result of small increases in building height to accommodate flood-proofing measures. Urban Area Locations (to be considered by Planning Committee): properties along Grandview Drive, Britannia Beach area, Trim Road (Petrie Island). Rural Area Locations (to be considered by Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee): properties along Loggers Way, Moorhead Drive, MacLarens Side Road, Northwoods Drive, Constance Bay area, Armitage Avenue, Leo Lane, Du Boise Lane, Armstrong Road and Morin Road. Further information To view the proposal or any information or materials related to the proposal, please contact the undersigned planner. Maps showing the affected lands are available by contacting the undersigned. Submission requirements To provide comments or for information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner. Dated at the City of Ottawa this August 3, 2017.

Traffic & Parking By-law Survey Traffic services is currently reviewing the general unsigned on-street parking regulations within city limits. The current regulation permits parking for a maximum of 3 consecutive hours, from 7am to 7pm every day of the week. A request was made at Transportation Committee to consider allowing on-street parking for longer than 3 hours on weekends and holidays. If you would like to provide feedback on this proposal, Transportation Services has developed an online survey so that you can have your say. The recommendation is to change the general on-street parking regulation to allow parking for 6 consecutive hours instead of 3 hours between 7am and 7pm on weekends and holidays. Please visit ottawa.ca for more information and to take the survey. It will be available until Aug 22nd 2017.

These advertisements use strategies such as contests, celebrity endorsements, mascots and so on that are directed at children. By participating in their survey on ottawa.ca you can help OPH better understand how these advertisements affect residents and what policies can help to effectively manage them. OPH is accepting submissions until August 14th.

OPINION

Connected to your community

An uncharitable idea

he Salvation Army does good work in this city, but that does not make the organization immune from making bad decisions. The Salvation Army is seeking a zoning change to allow it to move a homeless shelter from King Edward Avenue area to Vanier. The request comes as a shock to the people who call Vanier home. No community should have this sprung on them. If built, a shelter would likely draw inebriated or otherwise unwell people into a residential neighbourhood. That’s not an improvement – it’s a step backwards. Yes, city council can allow a move, but there is nothing in the plan to suggest it will improve outcomes for the people in need. Instead it will turn a neighbourhood upside down for the sake of optics. Getting the homeless out of view of the tourists in the ByWard Market seems to be the driving force behind the proposal, and one reason Mayor Jim Watson is backing it. Getting people out of sight should not be the goal when spending money on

homelessness. Real homes and real help should be the only goal. All else is, in a word, uncharitable. And will this be a case of out of sight, out of mind? Will Ottawans find it easier to ignore the fact that there are people in such need? There is demand for the services offered by the Salvation Army. That’s why we have zoning in this city – so development happens in a predictable way, and in a way that the neighbours have a say about their neighbourhood. The site picked by the Salvation Army is not zoned for a shelter. It’s not a use any neighbour could foresee. This is not just an issue for Vanier. No one is immune. If a surprise like this can be sprung on Vanier, every resident of Ottawa should know that other councillors could gang up on your neighbourhood and stick something unwanted on your street. City councillors should put community before complicity and refuse the rezoning request.

The digitization of real estate

friend of mine recently travelled to British Columbia from Ontario to search for a house over a weekend. She spent a whopping amount of money on airline tickets, hotels and meals for what was anything but a vacation. But perhaps she needn’t have bothered. A new study from HSBC Global suggests that Canadians are starting to buy real estate the same way they’re purchasing groceries, clothing and household goods — on the internet. According to HSBC, home-buying and the services that go along with it — legal services, realtors and mortgage lending — are increasingly occurring online. HSBC’s Beyond the Bricks: The Future of Home-buying is based on a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse global survey of 9,000 individuals. Canadians, as it turns out, are among the most active online real estate buyers. Ninety per cent of Canadians turn to the internet to search new properties — compared to the global average of 83 per cent. Three quarters of Canadian homebuyers are using digital technology to research financing options. “From online mortgage specialists to paperless mortgage renewals, technology is rapidly changing how we engage with and serve our customers in Canada and across the globe,” says

Larry Tomei, executive vice-president of retail banking and wealth management at HSBC Bank Canada. “This latest research suggests that the property industry is poised for technological disruption, significantly changing how home buyers approach each of the three key phases of home buying: researching, financing and purchasing.” This has enormous implications for realtors. Indeed, more than a quarter of Canadian survey respondents (27 per cent) “say that dealing with the many people involved (real estate agents, lawyers, sellers and developers) was the biggest ‘pain point’ in the home-buying process,” reports HSBC. The study advises realtors and others on the periphery of real estate purchases to embrace technology or find themselves on the losing end. That Canadians are turning to digi-

tal technology for home-buying may not come as a big surprise to some. Canadians have a reputation for early adoption of digital technology. By 2019, it’s anticipated Canadians will spend $39 billion online annually, representing nearly 10 per cent of all consumer purchases. Canadian companies are increasingly embracing the internet to sell goods beyond our borders, as well. “Statistics Canada’s data (in their most recent data on the topic) reports that Canadian companies sold more than $136 billion in goods and services online in 2013, up from $122 billion a year earlier,” reports the Canadian Internet Registration Authority’s 2016 Factbook on e-commerce. In a 2015 study by GoDaddy and Reddit, researchers found more than half (59 per cent) of very small businesses in Canada still do not have a website. As Canadian consumers increasingly turn to the internet to research and make purchases of goods and services, companies that

Frank Desrosiers is set to compete at the 2017 ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships in South Africa this September. Desrosiers has been kayaking since he was 8 years old and this will be his first international competition since 2014.

Frank Desrosiers has been kayaking competitively since he was 8 Continued from page 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In cycling, you can draft; in paddling, you can wash ride,â&#x20AC;? said Desrosiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, in cycling, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off the draft, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not fighting the draft to get back on. In paddling, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off the wash, you have to fight a mountain to get back on.â&#x20AC;? The kayak marathon normally takes between an hour and 45 minutes and three hours to complete. With a race this long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about time, says Desrosiers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about conserving your

energy for the sprint portions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a hero,â&#x20AC;? said Desrosiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the fastest person who wins, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the person who has the most energy for the sprints. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going fast and then wash riding.â&#x20AC;? The sport of marathon kayaking doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really jump out as the most watchable sport, but for Desrosiers, the level of competition involved makes it a lot of fun for competitors and spectators.

GoFundMe campaign set up to help pay for trip Continued from page 10

“It’s super fun and super entertaining to watch,” said Desrosiers. “It’s playing games with people: trying to push them off the wash, try and push them into a buoy.” On top of training for this event, Desrosiers also coaches kids at the Petrie Island Canoe Club in Orléans. Not only does this allow others to enjoy the sport that he loves so much, but it also gives him great access to the equipment he

needs to train. Competing overseas as an amateur athlete is expensive and Desrosiers is currently searching for sponsorship for the event, on top of having a GoFundMe campaign. To pay for airfare, lodging, food, and equipment, Desrosiers is looking to raise about $5,000.

Chapman Mills conservation boardwalk gets improvements Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

ROUTES AVAILABLE!!! We are looking for carriers to deliver our newspapers.

Call 613.221.6247

The boardwalk at the Chapman Mills Conservation Area has received an upgrade. Local politicians were on hand to place the final boards on July 27 at the conservation area. The upgrades came after a funding boost of $32,000 from several groups including a $25,000 donation from the Movati athletic group as well as funds from the the Canada 150 infrastructure program from the federal government. “The Chapman Mills Conservation Area project is a great example of what the Canada 150 community infrastructure program is all about,” said local MP Chandra Arya. “Supporting improvements to the places where families go to

spend quality time together is an ideal way to invest in our communities so that they can be enjoyed by Canadians for years to come.” Over 600 metres of boardwalk have been widened and now include turnaround areas for greater accessibility. At the steeper areas of the walk, handrails and barriers have been installed to assist people in climbing. These installations – over wetlands – come at a good time as the city has seen a record amount of rain so far this year. Even now parts of the area that are usually dry this far into summer still have many centimetres of water. Also on hand at the announcement was Mayor Jim Watson and MPP Lisa MacLeod, who highlighted the importance of having parkland in the city. “Green space is pretty precious,” said

Watson. “That’s why we’ve put a record amount of money in the budget for tree planting.” “We have over 100,000 people living in this community,” said MacLeod. “When you think about the fact that we are in a major urban city and we have this beauty around us thanks to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and its leadership, it’s tremendous that we are just steps away from an urban environment and enjoy this wonderful area.” The nine-hectare conservation area in located on the west bank of the Rideau River off of Prince of Wales Drive in Barrhaven. The area includes picnic tables, lookouts, walkways and boardwalks along a 1.8-kilometre path.

since I was scared in the dark, I would sit as close to Mother as possible. We wouldn’t be out there more than a few minutes when one after the other of us would be swatting our arms and bare legs, hoping to connect with the horde of mosquitoes laying in wait for us. Soon Mother would say, “Enough of this, those blessed mosquitoes are eating us alive.” Then one night Father said he had an idea, and he vanished into the drive shed and lit the lantern. We had no idea what he was up to, but we could hear the hammer, and soon we could smell coal oil. We could faintly see his outline when he came out of the drive shed with the lantern in one hand and a long piece of wood wrapped at one end with piles of feed bags. And it reeked to high heaven of coal oil. Father told us to put our chairs in a circle, and once we settled down, he took a match from his pocket,

to bed until the fire was out, but Father said it would burn itself out, and we had nothing to worry about. Mother wasn’t so sure. He was right of course. It didn’t take long for the feed bags to burn down. As for sitting out on a summer evening, that was the end of that. The mosquitoes won the battle. All that remained of Father’s idea was a half burnt stick of wood, a brown the flames which I was sure pile of burnt feed bags, and were going to burn down the the smell of coal oil which entire farm, including the log lingered in the backyard for house and barns! days.

Veterans, first responders relaunch 22 pushups challenge Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Canadian Forces veterans and first responders completed 22 pushups on the lawn of the Parliament Buildings on July 22 to relaunch the viral fundraising campaign a year after it began. Thousands of Canadians participated in the movement, which gained traction on social media channels and raised $94,000 for programs offered by Wounded Warriors Canada, said Phil Ralph, national program director of the organization. For Canada 150, the nonprofit is again challenging Canadians to complete the 22 Pushups 22 Days challenge. “This is the first anniversary of this campaign,” said Ralph. “We’re challenging Canadians to continue the campaign and get to $150,000.” Participants are invited to film themselves doing 22 push ups for a 22-day period, to nominate someone new each day, and to make a one-time $22 donation to Wounded War-

riors. The organization provides numerous supports and programs to veterans, first responders and their families, such as helping to fund service dogs for people with PTSD, getting homeless veterans off the streets, couples-based equine therapy and many others. “We’re really proud because of grassroots initiatives like this we’re able to put 82 cents of every dollar that we earn directly into programming,” said Ralph. “Because of the support from Canadians coast-to-coast we’ve been able to deliver over $2-million in programming in the last fiscal year and we’re hoping to do even more this year.” Matthew Tofflemire and his service dog Gordon participated in the challenge on the Hill. “Gordon, he’s helped me get my life back,” said the 15-year military veteran and Ottawa firefighter. “I have four young children and a beautiful wife. My house is busy and it just came to a point where I needed to take care of myself so I

could get back into it.” Tofflemire was diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago and has been off work while going through treatment. Funding from Wounded Warriors, raised from campaigns like the 22 pushup challenge, paid for Tofflemire’s service dog through the Canadian charity Paws Fur Thought, which pairs service dogs with veterans and first responders with PTSD. Gordon, a black Labrador, is never far from Tofflemire’s side. He can sense when his human is agitated or if a situation is becoming too stressful. “He’s very calm and that helps calm me down,” said Tofflemire. “In social situations, if he’s sensing that I’m stressed, he’ll come out and block people in front of me just to create a barrier and he’ll alert me. If he knows I’m getting agitated, he’ll start paying attention to me, maybe nudging me, even jumping up on me if it gets to that point. See WOUNDED, page 17

Matthew Tofflemire (right) and his service dog Gordon participate in the 22 pushups challenge on Parliament Hill on July 22 to celebrate one year since the launch of the viral 22 Pushups 22 Days fundraising campaign. Wounded Warriors Canada is hoping to reignite the campaign to reach $150,000 by Remembrance Day.

Wounded Warriors challenges Canadians to help reach $150,000 goal Continued from page 16

“It helps me realize because sometimes when the trigger happens it comes so quickly, it helps me regroup and focus again.” 22 PUSHUPS The 22 Pushups 22 Days challenge is based on a similar campaign that originated in the United States. “In the United States, sadly, they lose 22 veterans to

suicide each and every day,” said Ralph. “This was to raise awareness in the States, then it came up here.” In Canada, 160 veterans died by suicide between 2004 and March 2014, “greater than the total number of Canadian Armed Forces members killed during the war in Afghanistan,” according to statistics on Wounded Warriors’ website. The goal now is to raise the

remaining $56,000 in order to hit the target by Nov. 11. “We’re going to leave this campaign open until Remembrance Day this year and the challenge to Canadians from coast-to-coast is to get behind this campaign and to get us to $150,000 for Canada 150,” said Ralph. “If you want to support this it’s really easy.” For details and to donate, visit woundedwarriors.ca.

Bianka (ID# A201208)

Is a Small Animal the Pet for You? When thinking of the Ottawa Humane Society, most people will say that visions of cats, kittens, puppies and dogs come to mind. But what if you are looking to add a small animal to your family? Where would you go? Well, look no further than those you trust to help you find your feline and canine companions. What most people don’t realize is that the OHS always has a large variety of small animals that can include budgies, finches, cockatiels, lovebirds, doves, parrotlets, gerbils, mice, hamsters, degus, chinchillas, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. Most often thought of as starter pets, small animals actually require the same level of commitment, enrichment, interaction and vet care as their feline and canine counterparts. Many small animals can also be trained to learn tricks, use a litter box and walk on a leash, among other things.

Bianka (ID# A201208) Meet Bianka (ID# A201208), a sweet bunny looking to hop into her forever home. Bianka is a friendly rabbit who’s looking for a new family that will take lots of time to play with her every day. She’s an active girl who’d like lots of time outside of her cage to stretch her legs. Rabbits like Bianka are social and intelligent animals that make great pets. Are you the one Harriet has been waiting for?

What they lack in size, they more than make up for in love and companionship and you will quickly find yourself under their spell as you play with them and discover their personalities. If you have been hoping to add a little bundle of love to your family, come by the Adoption Centre to meet a wide variety of small animals and find that perfect match for your family.

For more information on Marvin 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.

PC controversy still raging in Carleton by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A leaked email by NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod has highlighted ongoing in fighting in the newly-formed riding of Carleton. Ottawa lawyer Goldie Ghamari has won the hotly-contested nomination to be the PC candidate in November. Several longtime Conservatives took issue with the nomination, including former councillor Doug Thompson, who said he thought they held better elections in Somali. Lisa MacLeod has represented Nepean-Carleton since 2006, and said in an email to a “closed group of advisers” that Ghamari likely won’t win the election, and if she did, she wouldn’t be suitable representation for the constituents. The email was in response to a report from a right-wing website

called The Rebel, which called into question Ghamari’s legitimacy as a Conservative. A social media profile under the name Persian Cat, which some believe to be Ghamari, makes defamatory statements about Christianity and shows support for former federal Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff. Ghamari has publicly denied ownership of the social media profile — even going so far as to retain lawyers to send a letter asking Jay Tysick, a former candidate for the Carleton nomination, to retract statements to that effect in December. The letter states the claims are untrue and harmful and have impacted their client’s “goodwill and reputation.” Since his disqualification as a candidate in October, Tysick has taken aim at the party, calling out leader Patrick Brown for getting too involved in local nomination

races in order to put in his preferred candidates. MacLeod sent out a response to the leaked email on July 25. “I don’t normally comment on private emails sent to a closed group of advisers and friends. But given a leak, I feel compelled to address an email I sent on Tuesday, July 25,” the statement reads. “Yesterday evening, a number of people forwarded me a video by the Rebel about the PC candidate in Carleton, Goldie Ghamari, and I was alarmed,” MacLeod wrote. “I have since read her denial that she made the statements about Christianity, as attributed to her in the video, which initially caused me concern. I was pleased to see her denial that those comments were hers. I believe Ontario PCs have put forward a strong and diverse team of candidates in Eastern Ontario, and the rest of the province, and I look forward to serving with all of them under PC leader Patrick Brown’s leadership.” MacLeod went on to say she would offer no further comment on the issue. A Twitter handle named @ FireGoldie was created in May. The account’s 48 followers include the Twitter handles for Osgoode Coun. George Darouze and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans.

fraud during the May nomination of Ottawa West-Nepean Conservative candidate Karma Macgregor. Jack MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, was ousted for a video that surfaced where he lamented French language rights. MacLaren subsequently joined the Trillium Party. Another new conservative party has formed. It’s called the Ontario Alliance. “People are concerned by Brown’s top-down, heavy-handed approach to leadership, and are worried he’s already losing the election with his Liberal-lite policies,” Elizabeth De Viel Castel, a spokesperson for the newlyminted provincial party wrote in an email. “They feel they have no choice, but to find a new party to vote for in the next election.” Tysick, who has been a big part of the formation of the new party, said he’s not surprised by the infighting in Carleton. “Having knocked on a lot of doors during the nomination, and since, it was clear the people of Carleton were hopeful that after 14 years of bad Liberal policy, there was finally going to be real change coming,” he said. “It was exciting. “But after the mess Brown made of that nomination and many others since, and his carbon copy of Liberal policies, they now just see another disaster coming.” CONFLICT In November, Brown said he The past few months have been welcomed contest nominations a storm of conflict for Brown’s and said they’re healthy for the Conservatives, including alleged party.

Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive. The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain.

horoscopes

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