Local Indigenous youth to receive Indspire award BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
Awards are very rarely the goal when working as an advocate for change. For Theland Kicknosway, it’s just a happy side-effect of the work he does. Kicknosway — a resident of Nepean, a student at Merivale High School and a member of Wolf clan of Potawatami and Cree nation from Walpole Island — Bkejwanong territory — is on of the recipients of the Indspire award for Culture, Heritage and Spirituality. This award is normally given to what Kicknosway calls knowledge-carriers, elders who are responsible for preserving the knowledge of Indigenous history and culture. Kicknosway is one of the youngest recipients of this award ever. The awards are given out to Indigenous people who have made significant contributions to Indigenous culture in Canada. “Having the opportunity to receive this award with other people is truly inspiring knowing we are all doing something in our own way to help other people in the community,” said Kicknosway. “It’s just one steppingstone for a better future.” See THELAND, page 4

Air Transat fined for Ottawa delays last July BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Air Transat will have to pay a hefty fine as a result of a six-hour delay for two flights on the Ottawa International Airport tarmac July 31. After months of submissions and two days of hearings at the end of August, where the Canadian Transportation Agency heard from passengers, the flight crew and airport employees, the decision came down on Nov. 30 to fine the airline $259,000. The agency is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal whose aim is to keep the country’s transportation systems running smoothly. Severe thunderstorms rerouted 20 planes to the capi-
tal on July 31. Two flights – TS157 from Brussels and TS507 from Rome – were flying under the Air Transat banner. The two planes landed with nearly empty fuel tanks, which meant the air conditioning in the cabin had to be shut off. The picture the passengers painted at the Aug. 30 hearing was grim – complete with limited access to food and water, prompting one passenger to call 911. “My daughters had nightmares for a week after,” passenger Blaise Pascal Irutingabo said during his testimony. The airline has already offered passengers $400 for their inconvenience, but the recent ruling also requires the airline reimburse passengers for out-of-pocket expenses.
“Following the determination, a CTA designated enforcement officer issued the financial penalty – which may be reduced, depending on how much compensation is offered to passengers. “This is a significant determination for air passengers and air carriers,” Scott Streiner, chair and CEO of the Canadian Transportation Agency wrote in a press release. The rationale for the decision was that the carrier wasn’t relieved of its own tariff rules – terms and conditions of carriage – just because there were circumstances beyond its control. “The delays and the fuel exhaustion of the aircraft from Brussels resulted from a complex chain of events. We assume our share of the

responsibility, but all the parameters were not under our control,” said Christophe Hennebelle, vice-president of corporate affairs for Air Transat during the hearings. But the agency felt that there was an obligation for airline staff to let customers off the plane once it became apparent the delay would exceed 90 minutes, as their tariff stipulates. “Finally, the CTA found that it was unreasonable for the for the tariffs Force Majeure rule (unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract) to be too broadly worded as it was, and for pilots to have such wide discretion to decide whether or not

This isn’t the first time Kicknosway has been recognized for his contributions. In 2015, he drummed the new federal Liberal government into Rideau Hall. In that same year, Kicknosway ran from Ottawa to the Kitigan Zibi Algonquin Community to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women. The Indspire organization describes itself as an Indigenous-led national charity that invests in the education of Indigenous people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families, communities, and Canada. With the support of its funding partners, Indspire invests in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students so they will achieve their highest potential. In 20162017, Indspire awarded $11.6 million through 3,764 bursaries and scholarships. “The 2018 Indspire Awards are the highest honour bestowed on Indigenous people, marking the significant contributions of our people in Canada. We not only recognize the recipients’
individual successes, their discipline, drive and determination to set high standards and accomplish their goals, but also to share and celebrate, the impact of their stories and journeys with all Canadians,” Roberta L. Jamieson, president and CEO of Indspire and executive producer of the Indspire Awards, said in a release. “We also celebrate the future, through our three youth recipients, each of whom serves as a role model, promoting self-esteem and pride for the Indigenous community at large and providing outstanding role models for Indigenous youth across the country.” The 2018 Indspire Awards ceremony will be held in Winnipeg on March 23 and will feature performances from some of the biggest names in Indigenous entertainment in Canada today. The awards ceremony will be broadcast on APTN and CBC at a later date. This year, Indspire celebrates 25 years of the awards, which promote self-esteem and pride for the Indigenous community along with outstanding role models for youth.
City’s green committment questioned BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city is treading “too gingerly” when it comes to dealing with climate change, said Bill Eggertson, who sits on the environmental stewardship advisory committee. Eggertson joined the chorus of voices calling for more funding for the city’s energy evolution initiatives. Ottawa is clean, Eggertson told the city’s environment committee
‘The city should apply a climate lens to everything’
Barnes said it’s “strange” to see the allocation for the green fleet. He, along with Janice Ashworth, from the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce’s sustainability committee, suggested the money should have come from the city’s transportation budget. “The city should apply a climate lens to everything,” Barnes said. A motion from Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney to allocate $200,000 of the energy evolution money to staff to the city’s smart energy office fell flat. Committee chair David Chernushenko said he wasn’t comfortable spending already scarce dollars on staff. The environment budget – which includes water, stormwater and wastewater rates – was approved on Nov. 21. If passed by council on Dec. 13, the rates would go up by four per cent for drinking and wastewater and five per cent for stormwater.
ROBB BARNES
on Nov. 21, but it’s mostly a result of a lack of smoke stacks – not any notable difference in Ottawans’ behaviour. The energy evolution aims to reduce the city’s reliance on fossil fuel and replace the fleet of vehicles and other equipment with those that run on renewable energy. It’s a laudable goal, but the city has fallen short of its commitments and won’t meet the city’s emissions targets, critics say. Robb Barnes, from Ecology Ottawa, an environmental watchdog of sorts, said only $500,000 from for energy evolution is new money, even though $2 million is set aside in the 2018 draft budget. “I worry the city won’t be able to meet aggressive emissions targets without more money,” he said. River Coun. Riley Brockington said Barnes is being diplomatic in his description of council’s inability to get some key strategic initiatives off the ground. One of the key criticisms was lumping $500,000 used to buy green vehicles under the budget for the initiative.

Postal code, more than genetic code, impacts health
O
ne thing I decided when I moved from a small town to the city – I would never live in the suburbs. I have friends who swear by the ‘burbs. They like the big square footage, the driveways, the easy access to Costco. But to me, they always seem to lack that neighbourhood feeling. Ironically, I do live in one of Ottawa’s first master-planned communities, slightly east of downtown. In the 1950s, these 1200-square-foot homes on 50-foot lots probably were con-

– schools, sports centres and a lot of house – may be the best decision we’ve ever made. A new study out of Oxford University and the University of Hong Kong discovered that urban living may actually be better for your health. And contrary to popular theory, the denser the city, the healthier you may be. An investigation of people in 22 British cities – including London, Cardiff and Edinburgh – found most simply that people living in more
built-up areas have more reasons to walk to stores, walk to work and take the pedestrian route for social outings. As a result, urban dwellers exercise more frequently as part of their daily routines than those living in the sprawling suburban neighbourhoods. More exercise means lower rates of obesity and other ailments associated with sedentary suburban living. Beyond exercise, however, urban dwellers are also more socially inclined, the researchers found. Socializing has frequently been cited as a
key indicator of wellness for people of all ages. Spending time with others is good for both mental and physical health. It’s no secret that social isolation is a huge contributor to depression and mental illness. Some have gone as far to say that social isolation can kill you. At a recent town meeting in my east Ottawa neighbourhood, the message from this study and others rang clear as a bell: When it comes to good overall health, your postal code may matter more than your genetic code.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Priorities need rearranging
T
here’s a drug crisis. Safe injection sites are becoming a reality. There’s now dangers from fentanyl and other opioids, drugs which can kill quickly. With so much concern about all these drug matters, you would think that drug and addiction facilities for youth would be numerous — a top priority. But why, then, is the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre planned to be built at a West Carleton site taking years to become reality? It will be an up-todate facility, better for both staff and clients, replacing the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre’s current overtaxed facilities. Smith, one of the most beloved and energetic personalities in the Ottawa area, is leading this effort, but it is still going to be at least another year before construction begins on the project. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was established in 1993, introducing residential treatment in 2010. Since 1993, more than 15,000 youth and caregivers have been helped by the centre. We know the need is there and the Dave Smith Centre is playing a part in meeting the need for treatment. But the hang up in enhancing the centre is financial. There’s still $4.5 million in fundraising needed for the $11.8-million facility.
But why is this? We have a federal government which has $5.6 million to spend on a three-month ice rink on Parliament Hill. We have nothing against this, as it will be a memorable experience for skaters. But when you put such an expenditure up against funding a facility like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre — which saves lives and solves addiction problems for youth — is there any debate here? Skating for pleasure can’t hold a candle to helping youth get off drugs. Yet we as a society easily go along with $5.6 million for a postcard rink on Parliament Hill and seem to pay little attention to getting the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre up and running and helping youth. Are our priorities as a society skewed? Are the government’s priorities backwards? Surely having more facilities like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre providing drug addiction and mental health services to youth deserves overwhelming and unconditional support. And yet, the government funds a temporary rink bound to melt and disappear in months, while and the Dave Smith folks pound the pavement, trying to fundraise to get a permanent new facility up and running. There’s something wrong with this picture.
These newspapers didn’t deserve to die
A
bout 12 years ago I wrote a retirement column for another newspaper. I didn’t think I’d be doing another one, but that’s the newspaper business. The difference this time is that it’s the newspaper that has retired. As you know, there has been a big swap in small newspapers, with the new owners choosing to close most of their acquisitions, including this one. There’s been lots of speculation about their motives, and there’s no point in getting into that, except to say that these newspapers didn’t deserve to close. They were serving their communities, providing news coverage that the shrinking big dailies no longer could or wanted to, giving young journalists an entry into the business and giving voice both to readers and people like
blame, they are everywhere. Owners, of course, but also advertisers who wandered off, first to television and then to the Internet. And readers, let’s be blunt, who decided they didn’t have Funny Town time to read newspapers and could keep themselves informed by reading headlines on their phones. And the Internet itself. Some myself who had opinions on life in the newspaper industry spokespeople community. have blamed the government, saying As a contributor for seven years its failure to offer help to the industry and, by rough count, 344 columns, I would add that the professionalism at doomed small papers, but that’s not a the Ottawa and district papers couldn’t widely held view. Most self-respecting journalists have been better. There was never an attempt to influence what I would say balk at the idea of accepting government handouts, feeling that they or how I would say it.

The EquiPass, announced in April, is designed to help low-income riders who aren’t receiving a monthly pass through the provincial support programs, Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program. It’s priced at roughly half of a regular adult pass, for a total of $57 a month. Trevor Haché, vice-president of the Healthy Transportation Coalition, said that amount is still out of reach for many people and would like to see the priced dropped to that of a community pass, which is roughly $42 per month. OC Transpo management estimated there are 4,400 riders per month taking advantage of the pass — but with a later start date and slower uptake on participation — there’s $1.5 million left of the $2.7 million budget for the project. “We just want to make sure that money is set aside and not used to fund any other community or social services,” Haché said, adding that even though there’s value in other programs, it’s important to make transit accessible. When pressed about the extra cash during the release of the draft transit budget on Nov. 8, commission chair Stephen Blais said the discussion to lower the cost of the EquiPass is a policy one — which is not appropriate during budget time.
He added that it’s possible there’ll be more participation going forward. “I’d hate for us to make a decision based on one year and then not have the funds to continue offering the program to everyone,” he said. The city also released a EquiFare — or a single fare, geared to low-income riders — during the draft budget. The new price will be $1.75 a ride, instead of $3.50. OC Transpo GM John Manconi said the city would put aside $150,000 for a public awareness campaign to alert people of the new option. Haché said low-income riders are traditionally a tough-to-reach population, and that may have something to do with the slow uptake on the EquiPass. He said aside from lowering the cost, the city could look at other options like lowering the bar for participation. Haché said in Toronto, they use the lowincome cut off plus an additional cushion over that amount to account for the fact that families slightly above the income level defined by Statistics Canada still need the help. The third option could be making Presto cards available for no cost, Haché said. Manconi has said in cases of “extreme hardship,” the city has a few Presto cards they can offer free of charge — otherwise the riders would have to purchase a card to be able to load the EquiFare. Haché has a meeting scheduled with Mayor Jim Watson for Nov. 28. “We are hopeful this meeting can lead to positive results,” he said.
Centrepointe to host ‘Nutcracker’ ballet featuring local dancers STAFF
Canada’s Ballet Jörgen celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition with 24 performances scheduled across Ontario, two of which will be right here in Ottawa. The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition has been coming to Ottawa since 2008, having had annual performances at Centrepointe Theatre initially and then expanding to its present fiveperformance schedule at both Centrepointe and Shenkman Arts Centre venues. Shenkman will host three performances on Dec. 13 and 14, with Centrepointe Theatre hosting two performances on Dec. 16. Choreographed by Bengt Jörgen to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s score, the ballet is set in and
around Algonquin Park in 1912 and features Trillium flowers, loons and other Canadiana motifs replacing the traditional Nutcracker dances. Designed by Sue Lepage, an award-winning designer. The sets and costumes take audiences on a journey through northern landscapes filled with snowflakes, Mounties, raccoons, chipmunks, bears and other creatures of the woods. Canada’s Ballet Jörgen auditions local dancers for some of the roles in the ballet. A number of Ottawa dancers have begun their stage experience as chipmunks, squirrels, frogs and dragonflies thanks to this company, which performs more than 500 performances throughout Canada.

Cecil always had a trick up his sleeve
F
ather never banked around the house with snow until he was sure it was there to last. With no foundation, it was just another way for us to try to keep the blasts of winter outside, and now the snow was packed around the house about two feet high. At the Northcote School, everything had been done to keep the one room as warm as possible, and each of us came bundled up like mummies, most of us having to walk as much as three or four miles to get there. As soon as we got inside, we girls had to take off our overshoes, and the boys their rubber boots, and everything was propped against pieces of firewood, close to the heat, with the tops rolled down. Felt soles were removed and hopefully, everything would be dried out by the time the day ended. It was hard to tell who owned what because we all wore the same footwear. That is, everyone except Marguerite. She had white galoshes, trimmed with white fur, which she assured everyone was pure mink! Cecil said there was no such thing as a white mink. But Marguerite stuck to her guns. Mink, it was, and that’s all there was to it! And she refused to have her
always had his pockets full ... so much so that they bulged out from his overalls, and he carried everything from a couple jackknives to balls of string, a slingshot, and in the summer time he was known to be able to produce a green garter snake on occasion. Goodness knows what he had in his pocket that day, but he kept running his hand over the outside, and you didn’t have to be a genius to see the wheels turning in his head. Now, Cecil was a sly one all right. He was able to do things without being seen by anyone, MARY COOK and that included Miss Crosby. But I never took my eyes off him that day, and yet I didn’t galoshes anywhere near those of the rest of us. see him move to perform the deed which by the time the day was ended, had the whole school She wanted them under her desk. Well, Miss in an uproar, Marguerite in tears, Miss Crosby Crosby was having none of that. The white turning beet red, the boys in hysterics, and we galoshes would be propped against the wood, girls climbing on the seats of our desks. no questions asked. Marguerite, with a scowl Our books were put away, and we were all on her face, put them at the very end of the row, and made sure they weren’t touching any other heading for our boots and galoshes. Marguerite, terrified that someone or something might come pair. And she didn’t roll down the tops either. in contact with her precious white mink, tore to She said it would harm the mink! Well, Cecil took on that look he always wore the blocks of wood, reached inside the first galosh, grabbed what was inside, and her screams when he was planning some dastardly deed. could be heard in Arnprior!

we kept our marbles in, and it was moving! She flung it to the other side of the room, it landed on a windowsill, and was still in motion, but whatever was inside couldn’t get out, because the bag was tied tight. Y ou didn’t have to be heavily endowed with brains to know inside was a live mouse, nor you didn’t have to be too smart to know who put it there. Miss Crosby marched down to Cecil, hit him a whack with the ruler, and told him to get rid of it. All the boys at the Northcote School were doubled over laughing, and all us girls were frozen on the spot. Instead of taking the very much alive mouse outside, Cecil simply crammed the bag back into his bulging pocket, grabbed his rubber boots, and his book bag, and headed for the door to escape another outburst from Miss Crosby. Two Mile Herman warned Marguerite that he wouldn’t be surprised if there was a dead mouse still inside her galosh. Miss Crosby had to shake it upside down before Marguerite would touch it. That was the end of the white galoshes. The next day Marguerite was in black rubbers with the steel buckles just like the rest of us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

RCMP Musical Ride Tour Raised $755,169 The RCMP Musical Ride has wrapped up its special cross-country tour celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary. This year’s tour raised $755,169 for local charities and non-profit organizations. The Musical Ride provides the public with an opportunity to experience the heritage and traditions of the RCMP. Performances also help raise funds for local charities and initiatives across Canada. This year’s Musical Ride tour included 48
shows in every Canadian province and the Yukon. While this represents fewer than a typical year, the coast-to-coast tour saw the Musical Ride travelling much greater distances. The Musical Ride usually concentrates performances in two provinces or regions during the tour season which runs from May to October. Some of the communities that hosted the RCMP Musical Ride this year chose not to hold a fund raising event and instead hosted performances which were free to the public to
celebrate the anniversary of Canada’s confederation. Communities also collected items for local food banks. Each community host decides how their funds will be used. In the past, funding has supported local children’s activities, therapeutic riding programs, drug prevention programs for youth, community infrastructure or services projects. In 2018, the Musical Ride tour will visit Northern Ontario and British Columbia. QUICK FACTS
Notice of Completion Greenbank Road Watermain Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review
The first recorded public display of the Musical Ride was in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1901. The Musical Ride is composed of a full troop of 32 riders and horses, plus the officer in charge. It consists of the execution of a vari-
ety of intricate figures and cavalry drill choreographed to music. Members of the Musical Ride are all police officers who volunteer for duty with the Musical Ride. The Musical Ride travels to every province rotational basis every four years to ensure that Canadians across the country are given an opportunity to see them perform. “The hard work and dedication of the communities who hosted us was incredible,” said Sergeant Scott Williamson, Non-Commissioned Officer-in-Charge of the Musical Ride. “On behalf of the RCMP Musical Ride, I thank you. I would also like to thank everyone who came out to see us this summer. “We appreciate the support you have shown the RCMP and we look forward to visiting again in the future.”
The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of the new 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain on Greenbank Road between Jockvale Road and south side of the Jock River. This watermain is needed to meet water supply capacity and reliability requirements in the Nepean Town Centre and Barrhaven South development areas under future development conditions. This Class EA process determined that the preferred solution is to construct the watermain along the east side of the future Greenbank Road right-of-way, using a trenchless construction technique (horizontal directional drilling) at the Jock River crossing. It was determined that crossing the Jock River by open-cut methods would be problematic, due to geotechnical and environmental concerns. The design and construction of the full extent of the 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain will be coordinated with the Greenbank Road widening and realignment project. Since the road realignment project has been deferred a number of years, it has also been determined that the watermain project can also be deferred without risk to service levels as development proceeds in the Barrhaven South area. However, there is a need to plan for one or more phases of the watermain to be constructed in coordination with anticipated development north of the Jock River in advance of the road realignment project implementation. This study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class EA process. A Project File Summary Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives, selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.

These changes are being considered after the removal of the temporary busway along this corridor, which will not be required after the Confederation Line of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) is fully in service. This study examines the section between Smirle Avenue (near Tunney’s Pasture Station) and City Centre Avenue (near Bayview Station). Functional design drawings of the proposed road and pathway arrangement will be available online and at the Open House. Both the online consultation and the open house drop-in format provide residents with the opportunity to review the designs and provide comments and direct questions to City staff. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the contact below before the event. Tell Us What You Think You have the opportunity to review the functional design and fill out the feedback questionnaire at the open house on December 11, 2017 or online at ottawa.ca/ScottStreet from December 8 to 18, 2017. Next Steps The functional design will be refined based on comments received from the public. The detailed design will be carried out in the winter of 2018. Implementation is expected to begin after the LRT’s Confederation Line is operating and the reserved bus lanes are removed.

The City Builder Award is a civic honour created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place. Don has been active in the community since moving to Ottawa from Calgary in 2011. He started a seniors group in Barrhaven and since then has been identifying the need for programs and services specifically for older adults. He is now the President of the Barrhaven Seniors’ Council an active organization with almost 600 members.

The event will take place at City Hall on Marion Dewar Plaza and in Jean Pigott Place. Celebrate the season in the fresh outdoors on Marion Dewar Plaza roasting marshmallows and singing Christmas songs around camp fires, ice skating on the Sens Rink of Dreams, enjoying BeaverTails, and live entertainment. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive from the North Pole and will be housed in their very own outdoor cabin. Enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides on the downtown streets surrounding City Hall and inside, make a craft in Santa’s Workshop, enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, entertainment and indulge in fresh fruit from Orleans Fresh Fruit.
