Driverless car draws a crowd BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

People lined Legget Drive in Kanata on Oct. 12 to see the first test of a driverless car. The test was powered by the city, the Kanata North Business Association, Invest Ottawa and BlackBerry QNX. The City of Ottawa said in a news release it's partnering with Blackberry's QNX team to test the new automotive technology in partnership with other groups including Invest Ottawa, Algonquin College, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata North Coun. Mari-

anne Wilkinson both got a chance to sit in the vehicle — which even stopped at a pedestrian crosswalk while people crossed the road. SMART CITY

"Ottawa has established itself as an innovative and smart city, is home to a diverse technology hub, and has the expertise, new technology and talent needed to spark autonomous vehicle innovation," Watson wrote in the release. "With support from BlackBerry QNX and its Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Center and by working closely with all our partners, we are

facilitating smart initiatives and research, and fueling innovation and job creation in Ottawa." The city has been pushing to make Ottawa a “centre of excellence” in an attempt to get in on the ground floor of the autonomous vehicle market. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has commenced a public comment period on driverless cars. They could hit California streets as early as June 2018. Florida and Nevada currently allow autonomous testing without a person present. The Oct. 12 test in Kanata was the first one in Canada.

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Mayor Jim Watson takes a ride in an autonomous car in Kanata on Oct. 12. The car drove on Legget Drive, from Solandt Drive to Herzberg Road. The test, the first ever in Canada, was hosted by the city, Blackberry QNX, Invest Ottawa and the Kanata North Business Association.

Councillors hold public consult on upcoming budget BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Couns. Keith Egli, Michael Qaqish and Mark Taylor held a public consultation for the upcoming city budget on Oct. 20 at the Nepean Sportsplex. Issues brought forth by residents primarily focused around infrastructure – mostly roads and housing in the area. According to the councillors, the city is working with a $70-million infrastructure deficit, though the gap is getting smaller. According to Coun. Mark Taylor, who sits on the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the AMO has asked the province to allocate one per cent of the HST towards municipal infrastructure. “We don’t have the capacity to fix it all in one year but we are closing the gap,” said Taylor. Egli acknowledged that roads need more than just patch jobs, but the focus needs to be taken

away from exclusive use by cars. “Yes we need to pay attention to roads but we have to be smarter and open to other modes of transportation,” said Egli. Housing was another issue brought up at the meeting, primarily the lack of affordable housing in the city for people who need it. According to the councillors, the social assistance situation is so good here in Ottawa that people are electing to move here to receive those benefits. According to the councillors, the city provides over 3,000 housing allowances, 2,600 of which are in Ottawa Community Housing. The councillors said the city plans to renew its housing stock. “Ottawa is very attractive because of our supports,” said Taylor. “The better we get at this, the more that people come looking for help.” See CITY, page 6

Snow was another concern and some residents were in favour of privatizing snow removal in the city, specifically citing New York City. Councillors also brought up that the province would soon be collecting money from the sale of marijuana, a revenue stream that hasn’t been tapped yet and could benefit municipalities. Residents also asked councillors to look into charging for visitor parking at residential developments, and the councillors said they are

Help celebrate local youth

t’s time once again for the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Junior Citizen of the Year awards. Nominate an outstanding individual you know, and help us recognize the incredible determination, imagination, and spirit that make our lives and our communities better. If you know someone who is involved in worthwhile community service, is contributing while living with a limitation, has performed an heroic act, demonstrates individual excellence, or is going above and beyond to help others, then please nominate them! Nominees may be involved in: worthwhile community service; special young people who are contributing while living with a physical or psychological limitation; individuals who have performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past year; excellence in personal achievements; recipients may also be ‘good kids’ who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 years (must be at least six years, but no older

than 17 years by the annual Nov. 30 deadline), is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen Award. Only individuals may be nominated. Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 30. A committee of newspaper editors, publishers and the program’s sponsors will then select up to 12 individual award winners. Every nominee will receive a certificate of recognition from their local community newspaper, and the final recipients are invited to a special ceremony in Toronto. The Ontario Junior Citizen Awards are a public service of your community newspaper. Almost five million Ontario households receive a paper published by a member of the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. The association acts on behalf of its members to help them better serve their communities. Each submission must include at least two supporting nominations. Parents/ Guardians must sign to acknowledge the PIPEDA policy. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org.

It’s not easy being a green bin

t’s difficult to process the information that only 51 per cent of people in this city are using the green bin system for organic waste. For most of us it seems smart and convenient. But it seems that not everybody feels this way. The obstacles are complicated and the city is trying to figure out how to overcome them. For whatever reason, people need to be persuaded to make changes in how they go about their daily lives. How to persuade people to change their behaviour? One way is to make it easy for them to do so. A good example is our current blue box and black box recycling system. It’s no trouble at all, so we do it. And we feel good about it. We’re recycling! Conversely, if something becomes

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town inconvenient, there is an incentive to give it up. When you couldn’t smoke at your desk, that was an incentive to stop. Soon you couldn’t smoke in stores, in theatres, in airplanes. It was an effort to smoke. A social stigma began to be attached to smokers. People frowned upon guests smoking in their homes. Smokers were banished from public spaces. Gradually, smoking became more trouble than it was worth. Another important element was cost. It got more and more expen-

sive to buy cigarettes. Canadians hate spending money. The social stigma factor has been an important contributor to the decline in drunk driving. Through a process of public education, driving after drinking began to be seen as uncool. Young people out on the town selected designated drivers. Peer pressure was a big influence. As we contemplate the arrival of legal marijuana it is interesting to ponder how these elements — cost, stigma, convenience and public education — will play out. From all the confusion visible at all levels of government, it is a safe bet to conclude that nobody knows. To return to the green bin, there is clear agreement that it is a good plan, but how do we get more people to participate? Stigmatizing those who don’t

use it? Terrible idea, but some have actually suggested it — make garbage bags clear so passersby (and the garbage police?) can see what’s inside them. Let’s forget about that one. Cost? There’s some promise here. While the green bin program costs us nothing (other than what we pay in taxes), there are other costs involved, such as the lined paper bags that we use for the inside and outside compost bins. Those cost money. Could they be made cheaper? Some have suggested allowing plastic bags, which as we know are readily available, to be used as liners. That would be practical, but does the world really need more plastic bags out there? Convenience is not an issue for those who live in houses. It appears that work needs to be done to help those who live in condos and apartments. For the green bin system to work, it should be easy. If it isn’t, making it so is a good place to start.

Which brings us done to public education. Does everybody clearly understand the program, what it’s intended to do and how it works? Perhaps not. Time to start again, with an emphasis on schools. When the kids learn about it, maybe they’ll shame us into doing the right thing.

Stop accepting harassment as normal male behaviour

hen the news first broke of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as an alleged predator, sexual abuser and rapist, I was in the car on a long drive, alone. I listened to women relay stories of Weinstein. I listened to a call-in program where women expressed the many ways in which they have been humiliated at the hands of a man in power. My first instinct was to shrug it off. Seriously, I thought, what’s the big deal? Surely this is old news. Surely things have changed. I started my career as a producer in television newsrooms in the late ‘90s, cesspools of machoism, intense competition and unusual relationships. In my early twenties at the time, I recall, initially, finding it shocking that men twice my age, married and seemingly intelligent, would flirt, grab and threaten when things weren’t going their way, and when they were. A little squeeze to the thigh in an editing suite here, a senior TV personality stripping down to his

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse underwear behind closed doors in an editor’s office there. After a few weeks of being derided for my blond hair when I erred, or given an extra-long shoulder squeeze by an apparently compassionate, dad-like figure when I did well, I figured this was normal workplace behaviour. The newsroom was full of double entendres and euphemisms. Long days and overnight trips meant odd invitations to meet at bars, restaurants and even hotel rooms. At one party, a particularly powerful male figure took me off guard. He thrust his full weight against me in a corner of a packed room, my neck between his arms. He was angry that I had, on several occasions, shirked tradition, refusing to alter my production schedule

to suit his ego; instead choosing to move my crew and me onto our next shoot. He snapped his fingers and slobbered all over me, (drunk), telling me he’d have my job, “like that.” Was I scared? Yes. Was I angry? You bet. Did I do anything about it? Of course! I adjusted my schedule to suit him. There were a few close calls, where I walked into a situation expecting to be joining a group of people, but finding myself face-toface with one of my male superiors — once, stupidly, in a hotel room with him in his boxers. Fear, more than confidence, helped me to bumble my way out of the situation, deriding myself for being so hopelessly naïve. Which brings me back to the present. The Weinstein revelations are a big deal; a really big deal. Nothing’s changed in twenty years. As I listened to all those women talking on the radio, shrugging my shoulders, it says a lot about how even I have come to accept this as normal. Some men seem to find it hard

to understand how “innocent” comments about a women’s body or gentle touching or subtle threats are problematic. Women are victimized and uncomfortable, altering their behaviour, losing jobs, (or keeping them if they keep quiet), because of some man in a position of authority who’s made her feel small. When the #MeToo campaign launched, I felt compelled to put a simple hashtag on my Facebook wall. I wasn’t surprised to see many of my fellow women journalists use the hashtag. I was saddened to see how many of my women friends and acquaintances in diverse fields have been victims of sexual harassment and beyond. There’s a lot more I want to say about this. I want to figure out how to socialize my own daughter to not be so nice; to teach her that rocking the boat and speaking up is OK; to tell her if she is ever uncomfortable and frightened, she has the right to blow the whistle and that she won’t be shamed for it. But the latter part

isn’t even true. She’s already been shamed and silenced for telling on a couple of kids in the playground who were regularly sandwiching her against a wall. Did the boys get in trouble? No. She was told not to play in that area anymore. By kindergarten, she’s already received the message that it’s her fault and it’s safer to keep her mouth shut. “I hope the ways in which women are degraded, both obvious and subtle, begin to seem like a thing of the past,” wrote Canadian director and actor Sarah Polley in the New York Times last week. Don’t we all? Sadly, the Weinstein revelations may prove to be another infamous flash in the pan — like Ghomeshi, like Trump, (who still happens to be the leader of the free world). We need to find new ways to empower women and girls, yes. But we also need to pay much closer attention to the messages we are passing onto boys about the sexualization of women. Weinstein is just a drop in the bucket.

The day the bid books went out for a $5-billion campus that would house a second Amazon campus, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne backed the province’s cities vying for the online retailer. There have been bids in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as Ottawa-Gatineau and Sault Ste. Marie. Ottawa’s team, which included subject area experts put together by Invest Ottawa, submitted a bid on Oct. 19, along with the competition. There are representatives from both sides of the river on the Ottawa-Gatineau team. Provincial and federal officials are also helping with the bid. “Some have asked whether Amazon can afford to operate in Ontario,” Wynne wrote in a press release. “I think time will prove the more relevant question is whether Amazon can afford to not be here.” Wynne went on to say the province is attracting more foreign direct investment than any other Canadian province. Wynne credits the government for creating 77,000 jobs in the high tech sector since 2010. Wynne cited free post secondary tuition and a hike to the minimum wage as things that would attract Amazon. “With fairness at the heart of every step we are taking to adapt to change, we are putting in place exactly the kind of foundation a company like Amazon needs to reach new heights,” she said. In a letter to Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, Wynne outlined the importance of a province that confronts an uncertain economy, while trying to ensure no one gets left behind. “And no matter what happens, we can be confident that our plan for a fairer, better Ontario is building a province where there is more opportunity, more security and more chances for everyone to get ahead,” Wynne said. Mayor Jim Watson has said he’s cautiously optimistic about Ottawa-Gatineau’s chances. He’s said while Ottawa doesn’t have the means to offer a financial incentive or change the city’s name – as is the case of one competing bid – he’s sure Ottawa has the talent. Watson said the Waterloo region gets more press for their tech sector than Ottawa, but the capital has the most educated workforce in Canada. There are 1,750 companies operating in Ottawa right now and 77,000 employees in the information and telecommunications industry.

Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council speaks to picketers during a rally to support members of OPSEU and their strike on Oct. 19 at the Woodroffe Avenue side of the college campus.

Ottawa Labour Council rally supports college strike CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Algonquin College faculty currently on strike received a boost on Oct. 19 as members from unions from all across the city arrived to show their solidarity. Members from the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Unifor, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario and other locals within the teachers’ union OPSEU were all on hand. “It’s really important that faculty here know that other unions are there for you,” said Ottawa District Labour Council president Sean McKenny to the crowd of picketers. Pat Kennedy, president of OPSEU 415 local – which represents faculty at the college – was on hand and said the teaching staff understands students are in a tough position. “We understand that this is something that some of the students may not understand,” said Kennedy. He then went on to say that it’s unfair

that management and the government are using students in bargaining talks. OC Transpo have diverted bus traffic away from inside the campus and construction workers have also walked off the job – both acts of solidarity. “Whether it’s our OC Transpo drivers who are members of ATU 279 or unionized construction workers working on additions at the college who earlier this week walked off the job in support of faculty, this is the coming together of Ottawa unions and their membership to stand united and show solidarity,” said McKenny in a release. Unions from all over the city came to rally behind OPSEU. Members from ETFO, Unifor, PSAC and COPE all joined in the rally to show support for the teachers and to say that they are not alone in the fight. As of Oct. 23 the strike enters its second week and as of press time, there was no word on negotiations planned between the colleges and professors.

University of Ottawa/Submitted

It’s hoped the evidence gathered in a recently published study on firefighter chemical exposure, led by a University of Ottawa research team that included senior author Jennifer Keir (right) and spearheaded by Ottawa fire Capt. Dave Matschke, will pave the way for a second study examining the best way to protect firefighters from carcinogenic smoke.

‘The solution is prevention’ uOttawa study uncovers evidence of chemical exposures firefighters face BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

In 32 years of fighting fires, Capt. Dave Matschke has witnessed his fair share of loss and devastation. Watching a number of his fellow firefighters face and even lose their fight against cancer helped fuel his quest to seek out University of Ottawa researchers who could collect the evidence needed to prove what firefighters have long thought: the chemical-laden smoke that often surrounds them causes cancer, one of the leading causes of death among firefighters. “It does cut close to home,” said Matschke, who works out of Station 24 in Nepean. “Certainly, we’re a close-knit group in the fire service and whether

they’re your best friend or not, they’re still a friend and a comrade. “It’s important to make sure we don’t have too many of these (deaths and work-related illnesses) in the future.” The answers firefighters have long sought arrived in a study published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal on Oct. 17, the first of its kind examining the increases of chemical exposure during firefighting. The team, led by the University of Ottawa and involving Health Canada, the University of Toronto and the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec, took urine and skinwipe samples from 27 Ottawa firefighters before and after fires between January 2015 and April

2016. They measured their exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which can cause DNA mutations and different types of cancer. “Firefighters had from three to more than five times the amount of metabolites, or byproducts of PAHs, in their urine after a fire compared to before the fire,” Jennifer Keir, the study’s senior author and a University of Ottawa research, said in a statement. “Mutagenic potency of the urine, which reveals the potential for genetic mutations, also increased on average more than four times after a fire.” While the five-fold contamination increase was the average, some firefighters had increased PAH concentrations of up to

60 times higher after a fire, said team leader Jules Blais, professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Ottawa. “We knew there would be exposures, but we didn’t know how much it would increase following fire-suppression events, and also we didn’t know how much it would vary from individual to individual,” he said. That is, in part, dependent on the firefighter’s role during a fire, the intensity of the blaze and how long it takes to put out. High heat is a catalyst for the formation of PAHs. As well, firefighters know the smoke from a modern fire is laden with toxic chemicals due to the plastics and glues used in buildings and furnishings today. See SKIN, page 14

Member of Provincial Parliament Ottawa West-Nepean

Bob Chiarelli Chiar Dear neighbour, As summer comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to update you on programs and other initiatives that will affect our community and our province. Starting January 1st, 2018 the new OHIP+: Children and Youth Pharmacare Program will cover 100% of the cost for over 4,400 medications. There is no enrollment, no co-payments, no annual deductibles and no upfront costs for this program. The eligible prescriptions can be filled out at any Ontario pharmacy and all you need is an Ontario health card number. For more information, please visit ontario.ca/OHIPplus Ontario is also making college and university more affordable for low and middle-income students through the new OSAP. If your family income is under $50,000, tuition is covered. Even if your family earns more, middle-income students will also receive more generous OSAP grants and loans. There is also repayment support so you don’t have to pay back provincial loans until you make $35,000 per year. Find out how much you can get at ontario.ca/osap Lastly, the Senior’s Community Grant (SGC) Program is the first grant program in Ontario dedicated solely to supporting seniors. This grant offers funding to groups or individuals for projects that encourage greater social inclusion, volunteerism and community engagement for seniors across the province. For those interested, grant streams can support small-scale projects ranging from $1,000 – $12,000 and for organizations to receive up to $100,000 for projects that are larger in scope, leveraging partnerships and have the potential to benefit more seniors over time. Apply today at ontario.ca/page/information-seniors-organizations#section-3 As always, I look forward to hearing from you and continuing our conversations about the opportunities and issues that matter to you most.

Skin exposure the greatest risk Continued from page 12

“We’ve always known we’re being exposed. We just never really knew what and how bad,” said Matschke, one of the study’s participants who provided samples to help the research team map out their testing strategy. His idea for a study first blossomed after an email came across his desk from the Ontario Ministry of Labour, offering grants for different research fields, one being health and safety. Matschke took his idea to thenOttawa fire chief John deHooge. Together, they settled on investigating exposures faced by firefighters. “I thought it was an area that needed to be worked on,” Matschke said, noting that previous studies of training fires didn’t represent the full health impacts. “We just never had the proof of what was in the smoke and how we were being exposed,” said Matschke, who began his firefighting career in the Cumberland, before Ottawa’s amalgamation. In crunching the data, the research team was surprised to find the chemicals are mainly absorbed

through skin, rather than inhalation. Researchers focused on swabbing foreheads, necks and wrists, considered vulnerable to smoke. “We found a close correlation that moved our attention to skin decontamination,” Blais said. “What we’re specifically trying to do is figure out how they’re being exposed so we can reduce those exposures. “The solution is prevention.” The researchers have applied for another grant from the Ontario Ministry of Labour for a second phase of the study to identify how best to protect firefighters. “We think that if we can find better ways to reduce exposures, we can have a short-term impact on the onset of disease,” Blais said, adding that benefits also include improving quality of life, even reducing medical costs. “There’s the human cost. There’s the emotional cost,” he said. “Prevention is so much easier than the alternative.”

two to three years, decontamination practices at the Ottawa fire department have already been evolving. Many have been integrated within a newly launched firefighting training curriculum spearheaded by the Ottawa fire department. Over the past year, firefighters have begun wearing rubber gloves under work gloves to ensure their skin doesn’t come into contact with toxins as they remove their gear after a fire. They also keep their air masks on at a fire call, even during cleanup. Firefighters are also rinsed off at a fire scene, then remove and bag their gear before donning fullbody protective coveralls. They are also to shower back at the station as soon as possible after a fire call. “All of this is part of the culture we’re going to,” said Deputy Chief Sean Tracey. A neck and head covering has been developed with a non-permeable inner liner that blocks smoke – especially beneficial since the study showed smoke can seep in at the neck, wrists and lower legs, SHIFT IN CULTURE said Matschke. New products are While the results of the second emerging on the market, such as study won’t be ready for another a non-permeable neck and head

liner, but proof is needed to ensure these offer enough protection. “The issue with all the new methods that are out there is there’s been no evidence yet to say they’re effective,” said Tracey. The follow-up study may determine whether wipes should be used to clean the skin after a fire, or if they push chemicals deeper into pores, and if hot or cold showers are best. The proof will go a long way to creating buy-in from Ottawa’s 1,500 urban and rural firefighters in adopting new protective measures. “In the past, the fire service has been well known for doing a lot of stuff based on tradition and ‘This is the way we’ve done it,’ with little evidence to support it,” Matschke said. “I think we’ve turned the corner with evidence-based research.” There is a lot at stake. “You would be very hardpressed to find a single Ottawa firefighter that does not know of another firefighter that has not had a cancer,” Tracey said. “We think this is going to be an easy sell because this is the greatest risk that they’re facing and it is something that is within their control.”

Fortunately, a program called Project Step (project-step.ca) – funded through the Ottawa Senators Foundation – was able to lend a helping hand. Project Step (which stands for substance abuse, treatment, education and prevention) is the foundation’s biggest investment to date – with a $1-million investment dedicated to tackling youth addictions over 10 years.

In the midst of a building painted a sensible beige, sits a small but extraordinary office that’s painted cotton-candy pink – within these pink walls, Jenny Strange offers individual counselling sessions to the centre’s clients – many of whom have been exposed to the troubles of substance abuse. “With Project Step funded by “It’s very rare to see someone Sens foundation, I’m able to with just substance abuse – be here full time – I’m really there’s always a problem be- indebted to them,” enthuses hind the problem,” explains Jenny. “Working with youth is Jenny. “Many of the girls my passion, and our latest outcoming in struggle with some come assessments for mental mental health issues – primar- health and addictions show that ily anxiety or depression – and having in-house counselling for I would say the majority have this clientele really works.” experienced trauma,” explains Thanks to Project Step, Jenny Jenny. “That could be trauma says she’s now able to see up from a sexual assault, physical to 25 clients in a week – which abuse, emotional abuse, finan- means being able to offer criticial abuse – you name it.” cal support on an ongoing baJenny is one of two counsellors at Youville Centre; both counsellors are registered psychotherapists with trauma certification.

There have been 70 charges under the city’s newly minted ban on hookah and shisha cafés, the city’s community and protective services committee heard on Oct. 19. Hookah pipes have been illegal in workplaces and enclosed patios since last December. Bylaw chief Roger Chapman said the city expected higher voluntary compliance with the ban that started in December 2016, at which point staff began what’s referred to as soft enforcement – or the education phase – before fines are handed out. In the research done to prepare for the ban, Ottawa Public Health identified 17 businesses that offered clients access to hookah pipes. Chapman said since the ban started, staff has identified additional businesses, which they are attempting to shut down. However, nine cafés are still flouting the bylaw. The board of health voted on the ban in June 2016, citing the dangers of second hand smoke as reasoning for the ban. Brian Mahmoud, owner of the Lebanese Palace on Industrial Avenue, attempted to get an injunction on the ban from the Ontario Superior Court, but that was shot down in August. The request for the injunction cited financial impacts related to the ban as a reason for putting it on hold until the court hears a challenge under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court only banned the injunction, not the main challenge to the bylaw under the Charter. The challenge asserts that the ban violates equality rights guaranteed under the Charter. It will be heard on Feb. 8, 2018.

Grey Jazz Big Band to perform Remembrance Day concert The Why and How of Events “How are you?” If you are in business, a working parent (actually, any kind of parent) or an active community leader then I bet your answer is . . . BUSY!!! And even if it’s all good, it is still busy. And so you must be discriminating in how you set your priorities and spend your time. Working smarter is currently being touted as the way to be more productive and effective in a fast paced and highly competitive world. But what does “working smarter” really mean? Particularly when our work/life environment changes so radically and quickly. Technology and social media have completely morphed how we interact with others, build relationships and do business. The art of networking was once straight forward and commonly held as the most effective way of doing business. So attending events was a given. Today, we have so much to choose from in terms of events and marketing it can be overwhelming. Most people in business today could be away from home at a business or community event every day of the week. Most would agree, that is too much. The key is to ensure that the events we choose and the time we spend can produce the outcomes we want. And then we must make the most of each of these opportunities. The West Ottawa Board of Trade mission is to create prosperity. We do that in two main ways; advocating on behalf of the business community and offering relevant services to businesses so they will grow through connecting, learning, promoting and saving money. A part of our strategy for helping businesses, is to host events throughout the year. Our annual calendar is diverse and includes keynotes from local leaders, workshops with expert trainers, all candidates meetings, casual networking events and a few marquee events. In each event we create, we seek to provide multiple benefits for every size and sector of business. Why? Although we continually innovate to serve our members better we also believe in building on existing strengths. And one of those key advantages is collaboration. In a world where individuals, businesses and communities are becoming more disconnected, we strive to bring leaders and business people together for the purpose of optimizing our resources and creating synergy so that we may all thrive. How can our businesses make the most of these events and opportunities? Approach relationship building in a strategic way. Plan the events and meetings you and your team will attend and identify what your goals are for each event as well as your long term goals. We are living in a time of constant information, endless options and expectations for instant results. However, many successful business people understand the best results often come from a long term commitment and building a deep network of trust relationships. The many new and exciting opportunities for business and economic development through technology and globalization are highly effective. One way of doing things should not be abandoned for the other. Rather marry new technologies with face to face interactions to achieve the full potential of your business, your team and yourself as a leader. We invite to check out your local Chamber of Commerce to develop your skills, make connections and grow your business. We hope to see you soon!

Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | CEO | West Ottawa Board of Trade www.westottawabot.com

STAFF

In honour of Remembrance Day the Grey Jazz Big Band will perform at Centrepointe on Nov. 10. “We are looking forward to our show at Centrepointe Theatres,” said Bill Luxton, longest serving member of thebBand in a release. “In its 30-year history the Grey Jazz Big Band can claim a variety of highlights. For example, just after the Canadian War Museum opened the band played a Remembrance Day concert for a large Canadian Legion audience featuring music from the wartime years.” Big bands became popular in the 1920s and continued to be popular through the Sec-

ond World War. Songs from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s will also be featured. The band has also performed for the Queen and Prince Philip during their 50th anniversary celebrations. “The Prince requested a Glenn Miller number and we played Moonlight Serenade,” said Luxton. According to the theatre, the band really does live up to its name. The “big” band consists of four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, one guitar, one piano, one bass, a drum kit and two singers. Doors for the show open at 2 p.m. and those interested in tickets or more information can visit www.centrepointetheatre.com or call the box office at 613-5802700.

Mayor’s Report

MUTUAL RESPECT BRINGS UNPRECEDENTED LABOUR PEACE By: Mayor Jim Watson The City of Ottawa employs over 17,000 people in very different fields of work. From providing front line services in City Service Centres or at the Library, to maintaining our roads and greenspace, to driving thousands of commuters to work each day, to delivering parks and recreation programming to tens of thousands of families and children, to keeping us safe and secure thanks to the dedicated work of our first responders, our employees are the backbone of the city. The incredible services the city delivers are made possible by our hard working and dedicated employees. In fact, for many city staff, their first job was a summer internship or an entry level job and they remained with the city, moving through the ranks and departments and retiring some decades later after long, meaning and successful careers. I am proud that the City is enjoying a period of unprecedented labour peace. Although things can never be perfect, many residents remember the bitter 51 day transit strike in 2008-2009 that paralyzed the city. Today, our labour relations are based on mutual respect. In March 2012, the City and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279 (ATU 279) agreed to terms for a four-year renewal of their collective agreement. This was the first time in more than 20 years that the City and ATU 279 had concluded a tentative agreement prior to the expiry of their contract. This understanding was repeated in March 2016, when the two sides again reached agreement on a four-year deal. More recently, the City has concluded a four-year collective agreement renewal with its largest bargaining agent, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 503 (CUPE 503). With these, the City has long-term collective agreements in place for more than 80% of its unionized workforce, to at least April 2020. Ottawa would not be the great city it is today without the significant contributions of city staff and their dedication to public service. But Ottawa is not just a great place to live, it’s also a great place to work. Throughout the years, the City of Ottawa has been the recipient of numerous Employment, Diversity and Inclusion Awards. For the past 6 years, Ottawa was named in the list of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and also made the National Capital Region’s Top Employers ranking. These awards speak for themselves, but they would not have been made possible without the strong partnership the City shares with our employee groups and unions. With interest arbitration built into many of its collective agreements as the means through which collective bargaining impasses are resolved, the city can ensure that even if two sides are not able to come to agreement on all of the terms for a new collective agreement, residents do not have to endure the loss of the municipal services they depend on, as a result of either a strike or lockout. It is a privilege to live and work in a city of dedicated residents and city staff, whose passion, dedication and love for Ottawa has truly made it an amazing place to work, live and play.

City fined after O-Train runs multiple red lights JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city has been fined more than $42,000 after trains on the O-Train Trillium Line ran several red lights, says a memo sent to councillors from transportation manager John Manconi on Oct. 13. The total amount of the fine was $42,708.06, courtesy of Transport Canada. The department issued a notice of violation to the city on Sept. 21 after it was notified of an incident in the spring. On May 3, 2017, a train with an

operator on board travelled through a red light signal after another oncoming train had already passed by. OC Transpo launched an internal investigation into the incident and notified Transport Canada and the Transportation Safety Board. “The O-Train’s automated train protection system functioned as intended and brought the train to a safe stop. At no time was the safety of passengers or others at risk,” the memo reads. Transport Canada issued the financial penalty to the city after it was discovered four other similar incidents have happened since 2015, the same

year new passing tracks were installed on the O-Train system. “The Trillium Line has, and continues to serve our customers with safety always being our top priority,” the memo reads. “While occurrences of this nature are a deviation from the Rail Operating Rules, O-Train operators encounter track signals thousands of times each week. Since March 2015 when the new passing tracks were installed, O-Train operators on the Trillium Line encountered signals approximately 1.3 million times, in accordance with the Rail Operating Rules.”

City still working out solutions to boost green bin participation BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to use of the city’s green bin program, said environment and climate committee chair Coun. David Chernushenko, but he doesn’t want to simply throw money at the problem. This past year, the city spent $350,000 on promotion of the program, but the participation numbers seem stuck, according to a presentation made to the committee on Oct. 17. “What we’ve been doing the last few years isn’t getting us any further,” Chernushenko said, adding changes are coming to the Waste Free Ontario Act, which governs garbage collection. The city’s also working out additional issues with the contentious Orgaworld contract through an arbitrator.

Chernushenko said he’s heard the new owner of Orgaworld is anxious to iron out the details, but says he’s surprised there’s still so much on the table three years after the city disputed the contract. “It’s better to take the next year to really figure out what the obstacles are (to use of the green bin) before we assign a budget,” the Capital Ward councillor said. Under the city’s 20-year contract with Orgaworld, the city pays to process a minimum of 80,000 tonnes of organic waste. But the city has never reached that tonnage since the green bin program began in 2010. In 2016, Ottawa’s diversion rate was 44 per cent, one of the lowest in the province. Only about half of eligible households used the green bin last year. See COUNCILLORS, page 22

Women & WINE

AROUND THE TURKEY…. IT WAS MY TIME TO ASK

WISDOM

BECOMING RESILIENT "OTTAWA WOMEN LEADERS"

Every year, we gather around at my aunt’s place to celebrate thanksgiving. The whole family comes together and shares a meal, each bringing their speciality; pies, stuffing, ham, bread or beverages. It is one of those moments where we are all together. We honour our loves ones who passed; we laugh, we cry, we remember and most of all, we just talk. The volume sometimes so loud, you cannot hear anything, but that is the music of family. I am not sure how we started speaking about it, but we ended up talking about final wishes. Some have already made their arrangements, some wondering what to do, while the others just quietly listened because they had never thought about it before. Yet, it seemed like such a normal conversation for such a sombre topic. As we shared our wishes, and it came to my own parents, I finally asked them what they wanted. It seemed like for two of the most special people in my life, they did not want us to do very much. It felt odd to me but I did not want to press it. I will take the time to speak to them about it later, encourage them to make their pre-arrangements. Maybe I will make my arrangements at the same time; it could be something we share together. Family has taught me that we need to celebrate the memories and enjoy being together

Councillors say a tweak is needed Continued from page 22

The staff report says that 68,000 homes are signed on to the city’s “Recollect” feature, which pushes out reminders of which week corresponds with the type of collection – Chernushenko said that’s roughly a quarter of eligible households. Duncan Bury, a member of Waste Watch Ottawa, said there’s no silver bullet. Some ideas from other municipalities are as simple as clear garbage bags. Councillors around the table at the Oct. 17 seemed to generally agree that the major problem is the “yuck factor.” Collecting compostables can be a grimy mess and there’s the risk of maggots. That, coupled with the inability to put plastics in the bins – per the Orgaworld contract – has made some people hesitant.

Kevin Wylie, the general manager of public works, said the uptake on the city’s plastic and cardboard recycling programs is really good. He also said there’s a robust education program in place aimed at getting people to use the green bins. “It’s a complex issue and there are contracts in place,” Wylie said of the problem. College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he wonders if the communications strategy needs tweaking. “What’s our goal?” he asked. “Do we want people to know why using it is a good thing, or jump on the bandwagon.” Chernushenko said with more study of the obstacles, council will be able to get at the heart of why there’s so little uptake. “We want people to want to do it,” he said. “Not do it because they drank the KoolAid.”

Code of conduct investigation comes with hefty price tag BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

An investigation into the conduct of Barrhaven public school board trustee Donna Blackburn came with a price tag of more than $51,000 she’s learned. “That could have paid for an educational assistant,” Blackburn said of the expenditure. The latest code of conduct complaint involves an interaction between Blackburn and members of the special education advisory committee. The investigation ultimately resulted in no formal sanctions for the trustee. Blackburn asked members of the committee why a review of the board’s gifted program wasn’t on the agenda. The meeting was in December 2016. She recorded the meeting and there were “dozens” of people in attendance who could

have bore witness to what happened, she said. The fact that an investigation continued, despite evidence that she hadn’t committed any infractions, isn’t right, Blackburn said. The decision to go ahead with complaints under the code of conduct is under the purview of board chair Shirley Seward and vice chair Erica Braunovan. The complaint that resulted from the meeting was made by trustee Christine Boothby, who represents Kanata. Boothby also filed a second complaint, after Blackburn spoke publicly about the events of the December meeting. Blackburn opted not to apologize and resolve the complaints informally, she said she sought legal advice from a friend, and knew she would be vindicated. See BARRHAVEN, page 25

Barrhaven trustee says process has become political Continued from page 24

“I said they should investigate formally or drop the complaints,” she said. The $51,000 price tag is as a result of “legal interpretation and facilitation supporting the resolution of the complaints,” board spokesperson Sharlene Hunter wrote in an email. The code of conduct is relatively new, and Hunter said due to its infancy, the board sought legal advice. “The advice and facilitation was very useful to staff and to the participants and will inform future work in school board governance,” she said. “Code of Conduct issues are important, but it is equally important that they are dealt with in a way that does not distract the Board from making decisions on student achievement and well-being.” In a March 2016 interview with Metroland Media, board chair Shirley Seward said she hoped to never have to use the code of conduct. “It’s meant as something that all trustees can

agree with and that in itself, I think, is the real value of it, the fact that it discourages people to do things because the code of conduct is there, the whole board will have eventually a role in approving it, and it’s common language that is understood by all,” she said. Seward wasn’t immediately available to discuss the cost of the dismissed code of conduct complaint. Former board chair Cathy Curry said the $51,000 price tag is likely only a fraction of what the real cost. “The incalculable amount, I would estimate, is likely many times that amount,” Curry wrote in an email. The staff time required to manage all of the related issues to this issue is not included. Nor is the cost of what wasn’t done by staff while they were dealing with all of this.” Curry said the staff required to handle this issue in its entirety would span many different departments thereby impacting the work in those departments, adding the whole process is very discouraging.

Marguirite expected to win Halloween contest

other said it was just because I was excited. Emerson said I wasn’t called ‘nervous Nellie’ for nothing. Halloween had rolled around, and I was in a state. I wanted to go as a princess, but my chances of coming up with an elaborate costume such as a princess would wear, were pretty slim. The talk at the Northcote School was that bad Marguirite had a store bought costume, and was having her hair done at Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour. She hinted she even had silver shoes and something with real diamonds in it for her hair. And here I was, destined to wear whatever Mother could throw together from the clothes already being worn to school, or doing chores, or some that long ago should have seen the rag bag. Audrey refused to wear anything that had come within 20 feet of the cow byre, saying it didn’t matter how much of Mother’s cologne she put on, you could still smell cow! As happened every Halloween, the school was decorated, parents brought enough lunch to feed all of Renfrew County, and some-

Often before the school party started, neighbour children would stop at farms along the way for a handout of homemade candy, or if they were lucky, a box of cracker jacks, which cost a whole nickle at Briscoe’s General Store. Mother laid out all the things she thought we five children could choose from to wear as costumes. Mostly, it was old overalls, windbreakers that had seen better days, and an assortment of straw hats that should have been thrown out long ago. Audrey wouldn’t have anything to do with a thing on the bed! Instead she put on a silk dress that had come in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and of course was much too big for her. She tied a silk scarf around the waist,

Memories one was put in charge of a program. The minister from the United Church was always the judge of the best, or most unusual costume, and fair to a fault, he made sure the winner wasn’t a member of the church. Which Cecil said was grossly unfair. His family were devout Uniteds. Those who couldn’t afford store-bought masks, had their faces smeared with stove black, or the soot from inside the coal oil lamp. By the time the date rolled around, of course, the cold weather had set in, which meant underneath whatever we were wearing was a pile of long underwear and a couple of sweaters.

and vanished into Mother and Father’s bedroom where Mother kept what little makeup she wore. Audrey came out looking like she belonged in one of those side-shows from the Renfrew Fair, where children weren’t allowed, and any husband worth his salt ignored. I thought she was gorgeous. It didn’t take long for the boys from the Barr Side road to spot her, and I was amazed at the change in my sister, all because of a silk dress that come in the hand-me-down box from Regina! There was Marguirite, with her store-bought costume, the silver shoes she raved about, and her hair done up high on her head, but I couldn’t see anything that looked like a diamond anywhere. There were games, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, and fiddle music, and the school heated up like a night in July all because of the many bodies crammed into the one room. Finally, the United Church Minister clapped his hands together, quieting everyone down, and said he had chosen a winner. Marguirite got out of her chair, ready to bolt up to the

front of the room for the prize, so sure was she her name would be called. The minister made a long speech, just as if he were preaching a sermon, and then announced that Audrey Haneman was the winner! Everyone clapped, Audrey turned bright red, Marguirite started to cry, and I was so happy I almost wet my pants. Thank goodness there was no school the next day, because as hard as she scrubbed, Audrey wasn’t able to get rid of all the makeup. I thought she should leave it on for Church. Mother thought differently. Emerson said the prize Audrey got wasn’t worth the effort she went to. I thought it was wonderful! It was a bag of maple leaf cookies from Briscoe’s General Store! No doubt donated by Mr. Briscoe himself. We cleaned them out on the way home from the Northcote School. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

On Oct. 13 at Mothercraft Ottawa Child Care Centre, Indira Naidoo-Harris, minister responsible for early years and child care, spent some time with the preschoolers before announcing that federal and provincial funding for child care in Ottawa will increase by $12.2 million to a total of $87 million in 2017.

Funding could eliminate child care subsidy waiting list BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The city could eliminate its wait list for child care fee sub-

sidy, with the help of increased funding from the provincial and federal governments. Indira Naidoo-Harris, minister responsible for early years and child care, an-

nounced federal and provincial funding for child care in Ottawa will increase by $12.2 million to a total of $87 million in 2017. See MORE, page 29

More than $12 million in additional funds for city Continued from page 28

The goal is for that money to help 1,000 more children and families access child care in Ottawa. With that money, according to Mayor Jim Watson, the city is already working to eliminate the 700-person subsidy wait list for children up to six years of age. “Having a wait list obviously means these families are under financial stress and financial pressure and we believe with the work of our staff and the federal and provincial government we can certainly come very close, if not eliminate the entire wait list of 700 children,” Watson said during the Oct. 13 announcement at Mothercraft Ottawa Child Care Centre in Westboro. The subsidy can cover all or part of a family’s child care costs for children up

to age 12 and is based on income. Also considered are whether parents are working, going to school, looking for work, if the child or parent has special needs or if there’s a referral from a professional agency like the Children’s Aid Society. Parents can apply for the subsidy online. A new set of provincial regulations and decreased funding meant the city lost 260 subsidized spaces last year, bringing the total number of fee subsidized spaces to 1,200 and increasing the size of the wait list, according to a city report released in April. “We are making changes to our service delivery models that includes adequately resourcing the office to ensure children have access to fee subsidies as quickly as possible,” Watson said. In June, the provincial and federal governments

reached an agreement to increase access and affordability to licensed child care and early learning programs. “This agreement is the first step in the effort to make sure that Ontario’s children have the best possible start in life,” said Francis Drouin, MP for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. He added Ontario will receive about $435 million for child care over three years. This year, the provincial government is spending $1.44 billion on child care, Naidoo-Harris said. The money provided by the governments will help address the concerns she heard during consultations about early learning and child care programs. “Together these federal and provincial investments will help to support access to families for affordable child care based on local priorities and that’s extremely

Pilot project strengthens access to justice in French BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

What started as a pilot project to beef up French-language services at the Ottawa courthouse has worked and will continue, Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde announced on Oct. 11. Lalonde, who is the Minister of Francophone Affairs and Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, was uniquely suited for this project. “The government engaged with stakeholders to see what the barriers are to accessing services,” she said. It some cases it was as simple as adding a “Hello/Bonjour” greeting, other initiatives were more complex. François Boileau, French

location for the pilot, both because it’s the Nation’s Capital and the proximity to Quebec.

Language Services Commissioner, said since the pilot project was implemented two years ago, there have been no complaints from people being unable to get services in the language of their choice. “And we had a number of complaints about the Ottawa courthouse before,” he said. Aside from changing the greeting, the government also worked on training and recruiting bilingual staff. All police forms have been translated and are available in both official languages and everywhere in the courthouse — from family to criminal to civil and small claims — there’s signage to explaining French Language rights specific to each department. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said Ottawa was a good

“The goal was to empower francophones to access services in the language of their choice,” Naqvi said. There will be ongoing work

to improve access to justice in French for all Franco-Ontarians through a new Access to Justice in French Advisory Committee that will be established in the near future. The government is also sharing the report with French Language Services Regional Committees throughout the province. The idea stemmed from a 2012 Access to Justice in French report. Currently, approximately 622,415 francophones live in Ontario — about 42 per cent of that population is in eastern Ontario. Ottawa is a designated area under the Courts of Justice Act and the French Language Services Act. “The time has come for other courthouses in the province to benefit from the use-

Violence against women priority for Crime Prevention Ottawa BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Crime Prevention Ottawa is working with stakeholders to end violence against women. The advocacy group provided their annual report at the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 19. Last year the group focused on gangs. This year the focus is violence against women – namely the prevention of sexual assault. One of the key initiatives is work with the city’s special event advisory team to build sex assault prevention into the city’s process for issuing event permits. Stefanie Lomatski, with the Sexual Assault Network, said the key is to merge the expertise of all stakeholders. She added advocates have already spoken with Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper. FOR SALE

Some of the network’s work is to educate people about what to do at big events such as concerts when they think an assault is taking place. Project Soundcheck is one of the long-term projects under this umbrella. It started in 2015, and aims to get people to take responsibility for what’s happening around them. Crime Prevention Ottawa’s work is largely done through stakeholders who engage the community and work on prevention and education. Committee chair Diane Deans said education is the key to changing attitudes. “It has to start at a young age to end violence against women,” she said. Travis Wing, a teacher at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School, spoke to the committee about his work with the project Man FOR SALE

FOR SALE

Up. The initiative, which is active in 25 schools in the Ottawa area, aims to change young men’s attitudes about women and relationships. “It’s amazing what the students can do at a grassroots level,” he said. Krishna Mathiyaparanam, from LDHSS, said he got involved because he wanted to learn about the impact of violence against women from a different perspective. Right now, the work is all volunteer based, with little to no financial support from the school board. But River Coun. Riley Brockington, who used to work as a trustee with the public board, said organizers would do well to make a business case and take it to the Minister of Education in order to get sustainable funding from the province. Last year, CPO invested $30,600 in programs for youth and those aimed at ending violence against women. FOR SALE

Bylaw review shows parking infractions are up BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Parking infractions and smokefree Ottawa violations have increased, according to an annual report by bylaw services presented to the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 19. There were 1,438 additional parking infractions in 2016 than the previous year according to the report, bringing that years total to 32,019. Violations under the Smoke Free Ottawa bylaw increased by 40 to a total of 402. As the end of 2017 approaches, bylaw chief Roger Chapman outlined the work his staff has been doing. Staff review the noise and property standards bylaw and have been doing spot checks on private transportation companies like Uber following the changes to the city’s vehicle for hire bylaw. Uber vehicles are prohibited from getting customers through street hailing – the explicit domain of the traditional cab companies. River Coun. Riley Brockington asked about the level of compliance.

Chapman declined to get into specifics about enforcement – citing concerns about bylaw officers’ safety – but said compliance is high. “It’s not 100 per cent, but it’s high,” he said. In addition to keeping an eye on hired vehicles, bylaw has had to increase their service hours on the weekends to cover noise complaints after police decided they would no longer respond. FUTURE WORK

Brockington questioned what changes to the federal legislation around marijuana will mean for bylaw. Chapman said emergency services general manager Anthony Di Monte is working out a plan of action. Right now, a bylaw complaint about a dispensary only drives an investigation into whether or not the business owner has a retail licence. “It doesn’t matter what the retailer is selling from a bylaw perspective,” he said. Di Monte said city staff is confident with the province-led, LCBO style model.

Bella (ID# A205521)

Giving Ottawa’s Animals a Second Chance With the Help of Social Media It’s hard to remember a time before the Internet. Everything is online now, from utility bills to streaming TV shows and even Ottawa Humane Society pets available for adoption. It’s another way the OHS is telling the community about animals in need waiting for forever families. The OHS was an early adopter, opening a Facebook account in 2008. The OHS also has Twitter and Instagram. In the years since, the OHS has grown its digital audiences on social media to nearly 63,000. The real value has been the impact of social media for the animals. It’s become a very useful tool for promoting the animals available for adoption at the OHS. When the OHS asks its audience to tell their friends about an animal in need of a home, they press the “share” button and fulfill the request. They engage with OHS content, commenting on it and liking it. And then Facebook’s complicated algorithm recognizes it as something other people would like to see and puts it into their feeds, so even more people read about the dogs, cats and small animals at the OHS.

Pet of the Week: Bella (ID# A205521) Meet Bella a playful and loving girl looking for her new best friend. Bella is an energetic girl who loves to play fetch. She loves to spend as much time as possible with her human friends. She is looking for a mature family who have experience with retrievers. She gets along well with most dogs and has lived with cats in the past. Could you be the one Bella has been searching for? For more information on Bella 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.

Whether it’s telling the story of an animal who’s been at the shelter for far too long — like Blue and Fluffy, two cats who were at the OHS for nearly a year — or sharing a funny video of dogs doing silly dog stuff, social media changes the game for the OHS in finding homes for the pets in the community. Social media lets the OHS do two things: it brings the animals to life through video and photos, letting their true personality shine through, and it sends that personality to an audience of thousands, increasing the chances that right match will see the pet. At its heart, social media is social, and that means the OHS can’t do this without the community’s help. Follow the OHS on Facebook at www.facebook.com/OttawaHumane, on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ottawahumane and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ottawahumane/.
