Ottawa Humane Society pleads to thief: stolen kitten needs medical attention OTTAWA HUMANE SOCIETY

The Ottawa Humane Society is asking that a four-month-old black kitten in need of medical attention be returned to the shelter. The kitten was taken on Dec. 16 between 1 and 5 p.m. The kitten, named Briana, was receiving antibiotics and eye ointment to treat an upper respiratory infection when she was taken. She was scheduled for a check up with a veterinarian on the morning of Dec. 17 to determine if she needed further treatment. “We’re asking that Briana be returned to the OHS no questions asked.

Ausome Ottawa doing awesome work Non-profit provides free sports for children with autism BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ausome Ottawa is doing some awesome work throughout the city. The two-year-old charity is centred on enriching the lives of families living with autism through sport and recreational play, said Julia Albert, spokesperson for the organization. “Everyone knows, it’s scientifically shown, the benefits of sport,” she said, adding play helps contribute to a healthy cardiovascular system, boosts mood and builds confidence. Children on the autism spectrum have a higher incidence of obesity, Albert said, adding there are many barriers and a lack of sports programming available for those with autism. “I know what it’s like for a parent from my experience,” said the Alta Vista resident. Her son Gabriel, 11, has autism. Although he plays hockey and baseball on main-

as well as their family members.” Ausome Ottawa offers a range of sports and skill building for children ages four to 12. That can include practising fine- and gross-motor skills, like throwing and catching, and learning about body and space awareness, such as running, jumping and balance. Other programs include soccer, water polo, gymnastics and basketball. Orléans resident Anna Whyte, an autism behaviour therapist with years of clinical intervention experience, trains all the volunteers who work

and understanding environment. Summer has autism and a rare genetic disease, said her mom, adding she functions at the level of a two- to threeyear-old and is non-verbal. “We were struggling to find programs for Summer,” said Nicole, who lives in Katimavik, adding they settled on one-on-one lessons at a local gymnastics club but the experience wasn’t as positive as it could be. “Everyone would kind of be staring, the energy just wasn’t good,” Nicole said. “Even though Summer loved it, we did that for a while and then we stopped.” Then she heard about Ausome Ottawa. Nicole joined the organization’s board of directors and Summer attended her first session in January 2017. “She just loved it,” said Nicole. “She loves showing off her red (Ausome) shirt. The days when there’s a weekend activity, she puts it on right away. That anticipation is very new for her; looking on the calendar and seeing something and getting excited about it.” Ausome Ottawa partners with a number of centres and schools throughout the city to host its programs. In Kanata, Maurice Lapointe French school, located in Bridlewood, offers its gym space thanks to one of its teachers and Ausome parent, Daniel Botteglia, who was instrumental in getting the school to sign on, said Albert. “The gym is perfect and all the staff have been really accommodating. We’re always looking for places like the school that have the space and they have the willingness to work with us,” she said. Botteglia is the co-ordinator for Maurice Lapointe’s

specialized physical activity and health program (activité physique et santé in French or APS). He said it was a “natural fit” to offer the gym space to Ausome. “The team at Ausome Ottawa not only helps families affected by the challenges of autism, they actually create a stronger and more caring community,” he said. “This is why we should help out in any way we can because this, in turn, is directly helping beautiful children learn, develop and grow.” Since Ausome launched two years ago, participation has steadily grown, highlighting the need for more recreational programs geared toward people with autism. “As soon as a program opens up there’s a wait list within 10 minutes,” said Albert. “They’re growing quickly out of the demand.” More space and additional volunteers would help open up

stream teams, finding programs that are understanding of the various needs of children with autism can be difficult, she said. And that’s where Ausome comes in. Executive director Liisa Vexler, of Westboro, founded the not-for-profit after finding a lack of accessible sports for children with autism. “As we explored autism services in the region, we noted a lack of affordable and accessible sports programming for children with autism and their families,” says Vexler on Ausome’s website. “While our sons, one of whom is on the autism spectrum, are able to play in mainstream programs, we felt compelled to build this opportunity for all children on the autism spectrum,

with the children on how to address concerns and ensure “the kids are having fun and want to come back,” said Albert. But best of all, she said, the classes are completely free with a $25 membership. For parents of children with autism, that’s important because, “You’re on a wait list for everything for a really, really long time. Therapies are prohibitively expensive,” Albert said. “Kids need to play. This gives them a chance to come out and do what everybody else is doing.” SHE JUST LOVED IT

their children. “For children who don’t speak a lot, when you hear someone laugh that’s just contagious,” said Nicole. “It doesn’t matter what language you speak – a laugh is a laugh. As a parent we don’t often get to see that expressed so freely.” For more information on Ausome Ottawa, visit www. ausomeottawa.com.

New rules coming in 2018 for payday lenders BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

New rules around payday lending are a step in the right direction, but don’t address the why people are using the institutions. “I don’t think it’s going to stop people from borrowing, but it will keep a little more money in people’s pockets, which is good,” said Doug Pawson, the director of social finance at Causeway Work Centre in Hintonburg, has been helping people get out of their payday loans for more than a year through the not-for-profit’s community finance fund. The Ontario government announced on Dec. 19 new rules around payday lenders to protect the vulnerable. Cities will be able to limit where payday loan shops can open and the number that operate in a certain area, beginning Jan. 1. The government is also lowering the cap on the cost of borrowing for loans from $15 per $100 borrowed from the current $18, according to a press release. Last year, the government lowered the cost from $21 per $100 borrowed. Even more changes are on the way. Starting on July 1 2018, the maximum fees for cashing

government-issued cheques will be capped at $2 plus 1 per cent of the face value of the cheque to a maximum of $10. Currently there isn’t a cap on the cheque-cashing fees. Also, lenders will only be allowed to lend up to 50 per cent of a borrower’s net pay and will have to give borrowers the option of an extended payment plan if they take out three or more loans in a 63day period. “I think the challenges is that while we’re restricting the predatory nature of these lenders, it doesn’t change the fact that people are underbanked and we are absolving banks from providing basic financial services at a more accessible and affordable rate and those challenges will continue to exist despite the well-intentioned changes,” Pawson said. To help combat this, Causeway is working with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and the Vanier BIA to open a community bank. In Ontario there are more than 800 payday lending outlets and in Ottawa there are more than 70. Pawson speculated that the new measures will help squeeze out some of the smaller payday lenders, but

done,” Pawson said. In a statement, OttawaVanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosier said the measures are

meant to protect consumers. “We also know this is an important issue in cities like Ottawa, so in addition to new

province-wide rules, we’re happy to give municipalities new tools to reflect local priorities,” she said.

Most glorious time of year

hristmas has come and gone. It all happened in the blink of an eye, it seemed. All that preparation, all that December hype, all that anticipation and suddenly here we are, on the other side of the big day. Christmas 2017 is now just a memory but, oh, what a memory! In today’s hectic world, we suffer from too many missed family contacts and gatherings. But, at least Christmas is there, a time when that world of hustle and bustle stops and we all take time to be together with family and loved ones, just doing what comes naturally – enjoying each other’s company. That truly is the magic of Christmas. It gave us all the opportunity to live life as it should be, focussed on others rather than on material things. Sure, we all gave and received gifts, an outward show of affection for those who mean the most to us in our lives. But it was not the gifts themselves that were what was most important. Rather, it was that reaction, that smile, that “reveal” moment that showed that the gift struck home and hit the mark. It was a winner!

These gifts, while a big part of Christmas, really are just a vehicle that brings us all closer together. And as we were all enjoying Christmas with our families and loved ones, we hope that some thought was given to the blessings we all enjoy. We should never forget those for whom Christmas this year was not so happy. This includes the homeless, the needy and the mentally challenged but also those for whom this was a blue Christmas. Yes, tragedy in the form of death or tragic loss happens to all of us at some point in time and when it happens around Christmas, it transforms this usually joyous holiday time into one of sadness, despondency and upset. This is reality and we must never overlook this plight of these others as we go about our own happy times. Christmas, this year as in the past, was a grand time as it brought us together with our families. It helped us realize, at least for a moment, what is the key in life, that it is our relationships that make life worth living. They are something that cannot be bought. They are priceless. No wonder Christmas is considered the most glorious time of the year.

The recipe for success is to make tiny resolutions

e spend a lot of time in January talking about resolutions. Generally, my resolutions are big, lofty health goals – like losing 10 pounds or cutting all sugar out of my diet or going to bed at 9 every night. And generally, by the first week of March one can find me struggling to buckle up my jeans – did they shrink in the dryer? – chomping on some cookies while doing the crossword after 10pm until my eyes hurt from the strain. About 18 months ago, however, I picked up some really great advice. It came from a variety of places but it culminated into a very simple message: If you want to make a big change, set incremental goals. At the time, I was in a bit of a selfassessed career slump. For years, truth be told, I thought I wanted a complete

as this or start a bottom-of-the-rung position in a new career as that. If I spent half an hour daily scanning the jobs page, or five minutes connecting with someone in my network, that was Capital Muse enough for me some days. Over time, however, the incremental goals turned into something bigger. In May, I registered for a five-week advanced French grammar course at Cite Collegiale, a career makeover. I’d been to business coaches and read handfuls of books on huge financial and time commitment toward my goal – not the big lofty one how to find my dream job or how to conduct a career overhaul. But when I to become bilingual – but simply to started to think in terms of increments, spend a bit of time daily improving my French. I realized that maybe I didn’t need a All the incremental goals I’ve set and complete life overhaul, I just needed achieved over the last year have really to slowly change the things that had added up to big things.

my eyes to some really great opportunities and offered me a new perspective on the value of my work skills and unique talents. I’m sad to say that, after 11 years of writing this weekly column, which has been a great passion of mine, I have one more byline in this paper before I say goodbye. On the other hand, I’ve recently taken my business in a new direction with new clients that are teaching me and challenging me in a fascinating way. I discovered, actually, that I love being a writer. But I’m doing something completely different with it now than I was 12 months ago because of those incremental goals. So go ahead, make that new year’s resolution, but unless you want to shamefully neglect your goals six weeks

from now (and end up eating cookies in too-tight jeans late into the night and feeling like a big, fat failure), might I suggest making only the tiniest of resolutions this year?

2,800 students participate in Canada’s largest all-girl hackathon Girls introduced to coding, computer science BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Hours after learning to code in a bustling school gym, girls

created a game where players use a snowman to catch snowballs and hail. Another group created a dialogue introducing different cultural and religious traditions. The girls took part in Hackergal’s hackathon on Dec. 13 at D. Roy Kennedy Elementary School. There, students in

grades 6 to 8 worked together to solve a problem — one with a holiday theme. The west-end school wasn’t the only one to participate. It was part of the largest all-girls hackathon in Canadian history. More than 2,800 students participated at schools that included Huntley Centennial in West Carleton, Metcalfe and

Castor Valley public schools in south Ottawa, Holy Trinity Catholic high school in Kanata, Westwind Public School and Goulbourn Middle School in Stittsville and more. The event was aimed at introducing the girls to coding and computer science. Hackergal, a nonprofit organization, says women are on

track to hold just one per cent of the more than 1.3 million computer science jobs by 2020. Hackergal wants to correct that imbalance by sparking some coding creativity. Co-founder Lucy Ho said it was seeing that inequity that sparked the idea for Hackergal. She hopes to take the idea national next year, targeting

schools in the country’s territories specifically. “It’s about bringing the message to the girls and showing them the endless possibilities of computer science and coding and the types of careers that they can get from this from an early age,” Ho said. See CODING, page 12

Coding experience shown to boost girls’ confidence in high-tech skillset room full.” Although coding isn’t part of Ontario’s curriculum, the day also presented opportunities to problem solve, be creative and work as part of a team. “They are really, really enjoying the process and the teamwork aspect of it is incredible.”

Continued from page 9

Ho said there’s a progression that can be seen in the girls’ confidence throughout the day. “I wish this was something that I could have been exposed to at an early age,” Ho said, adding the programs are run in schools because that’s where Hackergal can also empower educators. For many of the girls, this was their first time creating something with code. “When we finish a part and it goes well that’s the best part,” said 11-year-old Zoe Brooks. “It made me inspired to try other things.” “You can create anything you imagine,” said Ola Erdawi, also 11. As the day progressed, D. Roy Kennedy’s principal Andrew Nordman said he too could see the energy and the confidence in the room change. “If it’s not something you’re doing all the time, you don’t know how it’s going to go, but today has been incredible,” he said. “I honestly believe that if you excite just one, you’ve done your job, but we’ve excited a

The students also had a quick visit from President of the Treasury Board, MP Scott Brison. “What is really cool is you are coding now … Coding is absolutely key to the future and you are developing these skills and paving a pathway to a career where you can make a real difference in the lives of other people,” he said during his remarks. “We need more women in coding, we need more women in science.”

NHL 100 Classic’s legacy is a rink at local Boys and Girls Club

GAME CHANGERS

for YOUTH

Your monthly update on the Ottawa Senators Foundation news!

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Next winter, the members of the Boys and Girls Club on Prince of Wales Drive will have a brand new outdoor rink to enjoy. The announcement was made on Dec. 14, just ahead of the NHL’s 100 Classic outdoor game at Lansdowne Park. The rink is part of the NHL Legacy Project — an endeavour where the league and team support community organizations in the host city of an NHL event. Students from Carleton Heights public school were on hand for the announcement, each one a member of the overcrowded clubhouse. The clubhouse, recently renamed the Tomlinson Family Foundation Clubhouse, is undergoing an extensive $3.5-million renovation. The rink will help double the programming space available to members of the club that provides after school programming to children in high-risk neighbourhoods. The rink is a lasting gift to the community for hosting the outdoor classic game between the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens, said Omar Mitchell, vice-president of corporate social responsibility for the NHL. “We hope that you play hockey, but what we really hope is that you use the rink to learn about hockey values — values like dedication, teamwork, perseverance, courage because those are the skills that are going to make you better students, better adults and make you better citizens,” he said. “That’s what we hope this lasting gift will give,” he said. Tom Anselmi, president and CEO of the Ottawa Senators, said the rink will benefit everyone, all year round. “Giving kids the chance to play is what we are all about,” he said. This isn’t the first time the Sens Foundation has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club. Aiming to get members involved in social activities, teamwork and leadership, the Sens Sports and Leadership League is Ottawa’s only no-fee, year-round competitive ath-

Roger Neilson House’s recreation therapy program offers children with complex needs a rewarding experience

For Jaxon Elliott-Sprysa, Roger Neilson House is his home-away-from-home. Despite spending five days a month there for pain and support management, the 14-year-old counts down the days and has his bags packed and ready to go. “Jaxon absolutely loves the house – we all do,” says mom Dana ElliottSprysa. “My son has been accessing the house for 10 years, while my 12-year-old daughter Savannah attends the sibling group and one-on-one sessions.”

Students from Carleton Heights public School check out a rendering of the rink to be built at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa’s Tomlinson Family Foundation Clubhouse on Prince of Wales Drive. The announcement was made on Dec. 14, just ahead of the NHL’s 100 Classic outdoor game at Lansdowne Park. The rink is part of the NHL Legacy Project – an endeavour where the league and team support community organizations in the host city of an NHL event. letic league composed for youth aged six to 18. Last year more than 1,400 members were involved in the league. In total, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa serves more than 4,500 children and youth in seven neighbourhoods across the city. Colleen Mooney, executive director of the club, said it was beyond thrilled to be involved in the legacy project. “We are truly grateful to the Ottawa Senators Foundation for their support and meaningful partnership that we’ve built over the past years, empowering children and youth to reach their full potential,” she said. “We cannot wait for this rink to be completed and opened next year.”

Jaxon, who has visceral myopathy of the large and small bowel, loves to play video games, watch movies and hang out with recreational therapists Katt Brooks and Danielle Scarlett. “I can’t say enough about Katt and Danielle. They are the heart of Roger Neilson House,” says Elliott-Sprysa. Brooks has worked at the Ottawa palliative-care pediatric centre for almost six years and was drawn to her profession in high school after working with children with special needs. “When they smile and laugh, it’s the best feeling in the world. The purpose of our profession is to help children with complex needs express their emotions and to break down barriers for them. We let kids be kids.”

In 2003, Roger Neilson House opened its doors on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The eight-bed facility was named for Roger Neilson, the beloved Ottawa Senators coach who died of cancer in June 2003, and was built in collaboration with the Ottawa Senators Foundation, CHEO, government departments and the Ottawa community. The recreation therapy program is customized based on a child’s needs and provides a calming influence and the opportunity for self-expression. Sensory play is explored through tactile activities, art and crafts and music and yoga. Megan Wright is executive director of Roger Neilson House and director of palliative care for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre. She credits the recreation therapy program with enriching the lives of the children, their families and her entire staff. “In the last year, we have added a Zen zone, yoga, music care and summer camp. When we have one of our famous dance parties, the whole house takes part and the atmosphere is electric. I am so proud to work with the Roger Neilson House team.” For Scarlett, hearing a non-verbal child make a happy sound, smile or laugh is the reason why she does her job. “You can see in their face that they know someone is listening to them. It’s very validating and rewarding.”

I REALLY AM

BRILLIANT!

Ottawa Police are purchasing 140 new tasers to replace aging ones. I discovered SMARTBANKING at Your Credit Union. At YCU I’m an owner instead of a number, which is just plain smarter. It means they exist to make money for me, not from me. So I get the lowest fees and these amazing returns on my term deposits. Choosing YCU was brilliant–and I do say so myself.

Ottawa police to replace 140 Tasers BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa police will buy 140 Tasers to replace ones that are set to expire, said police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Dec. 18. The tasers will be purchased for a total of $265,290.20. The fact that the deal was sole source with M.D. Charlton Co. Ltd. created the need for the police services board to approve it. According to the report, submitted to the board, the police will “gradually replace unserviceable units throughout the coming year.” It’s important for officers to have access to the devices Bordeleau said, highlighted their use during a case where an offender insisted officers shoot him.

Marjorie Forrest (n ée Jardin former L e), ieutenan t (Nursin g Sister)

The man was subdued with a Taser and then transported to hospital for a mental health assessment, Bordeleau said. “They save lives,” he said. In the new year, staff will look to expand the use of conductive energy weapons. Right now patrol supervisors, tactics officers and hostage rescue teams are the only classes that can use them. Currently the force has 450 Tasers. The board — which acts as a civilian oversight to the police — would have to approve the expanded use. According to provincial law, Ontario police services are only allowed to purchase conducted energy weapons manufactured by Taser International, and only two of their models have been sanctioned for police use.

Mayor’s Report

INVESTING IN OUR GROWING CITY, TODAY AND TOMORROW By: Mayor Jim Watson

Ottawa is a growing city, booming with new restaurants, art, culture and entertainment facilities, innovative technology hubs and engaged communities. Our city has been steadily transforming over the last decade and has grown from a sleepy government town to one of the premier tourist destinations in Canada; a competitive and attractive place for new companies to grow their business and a vibrant place for new families to call home. But as our city grows, so must our active transportation network. We are investing record amounts in infrastructure and creating new spaces and facilities, from new bridges that connect neighbourhoods to each other for the very first time, to safe, all-weather multi-use pathways and cycle tracks, not to mention our new Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, Ottawa’s single largest infrastructure project since the Rideau Canal. Just a few months ago, we broke ground on the Rideau Canal Crossing, a multi-use bridge that will create an alternate crossing to the Bank Street Bridge, connect the downtown bike network to Old Ottawa East and Main Street, and improve access to Old Ottawa South via Riverdale Avenue. We anticipate that it will share the extensive use and success of our other cycling and pedestrian bridges, such as the Adàwe Crossing, the Corktown Footbridge, the Rideau River Pedestrian Cycling Bridge and the Airport Parkway Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge. The City of Ottawa is also investing record amounts in recreation and cycling facilities. In fact, when combined with funding from other levels of government, this Council’s total investments in cycling and major bike and pedestrian structures will hit an unprecedented $80 million. These investments will help us reach our goal of adding another 72 km of cycling facilities to the City’s extensive cycling network by 2018. By investing in cycling infrastructure, we not only promote active transportation and invest in our residents’ health, but also help build an environmentally conscious city. Finally, 2018 will see the launch of the first phase of our new, state-of-the-art Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. The new 12.5 km East/West Confederation Line will complement our existing North/South Trillium Line and will make transit more reliable for generations to come. This past year, we secured funding for Stage 2 of LRT, which will break ground in 2019. Stage 2 LRT will bring transit farther West to Moodie Drive and Algonquin College, farther East to Trim Road, and farther South to Riverside South and Bowesville, with a link to the Ottawa International Airport. By 2023, the O-Train will include nearly 60 km of rail, significantly reducing Green House Gas emissions and taking 14,000 cars off the road. It will carry up to 10,700 passengers per hour, in each direction and will forever change the way we move in our city.

Operation Big Turkey expands with 7th location BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Operation Big Turkey is coming to an extra location and will serve 3,000 meals this Christmas Eve. There are seven locations in total, spanning from Jack Purcell Community Centre in Centretown to Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, and the newest location is the Hunt ClubRiverside Park Community Centre. This is the 13th year volunteers have banded together to prepare and serve a free, made-from-scratch Christmas meal. About 250 volunteers have made Big Turkey a part of their holiday tradition. “I think what makes Big Turkey so cool is we are not a registered charity, we’re not a service club or anything, we’re just 250 people organically come together to do this really amazing, profoundly beautiful group hug,” said Chris Knight, founder of the program and president and CEO of Gusto Worldwide Media. “Then we all go back to our lives. It’s really a wonderful organic moment.” Last year there were about 2,700 meals served. “Every time we add a location, we get a few hundred more guests.” All of the food is prepared at Algonquin College over two days. Then it is is put into warming containers provided by the National Arts Centre and the Westin Hotel before being loaded into two fiveton trucks. “It’s a bit of an undertaking, but it makes Christmas worthwhile,”

Operation Big Turkey/Submitted

The 3,000 Operation Big Turkey meals that will be served on Christmas Eve are prepared at Algonquin College. An extra location was added to this year’s list of community centres hosting the event. Knight said. Farm Boy donates all of the food and whatever is left over at the end of the day is brought to Shepherds of Good Hope. In 13 years, Knight is sad to say he still sees the same hungry faces year after year. “We have people who come who when nobody is looking shovel food into their pockets and we give them Tupperware and tell them to bring as much food as they can carry,” he said. Though not all those who come by are hungry, others are seeking company, warmth or are recent immigrants experiencing Christmas for the first time. “Everybody who comes to our dinner we consider our guests,” he said.

Police chief says there are more boots on the ground in the market BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

In response to recent complaints from merchants in the ByWard Market, police Chief Charles Bordeleau says there are more boots on the ground. Speaking to the media before the Dec. 18 police services board meeting, Bordeleau said officers were being added to the market. “There’s also patrol officers and when we have issues we flood the area,” he said. “Hopefully merchants are seeing a difference.”

Changes to how the police deploy front line officers has left a lack in some areas like the market, business owners said during the Nov. 27 budget meeting of the police services board. Peggy DuCharme, executive director of the Downtown Rideau BIA, collected testimonials from businesses including Nordstrom, Giant Tiger on George Street, Avant-Garde Bar and the Ottawa-Gatineau Hotel Association. At the time, Bordeleau said there was no link between the change in the deployment model and the increase

in crime. But, Superintendent Joan McKenna had met with affected business owners and chair of the board, Coun. Eli El-Chantiry told DuCharme to keep up the dialogue with police. Bordeleau said that the new year will bring an increase in resources for those staffing the afternoon shift in the downtown core. When asked about an increase in 911 calls to the market at the Nov. 27 Metroland file meeting, Bordeleau said the majority In response to recent complaints from merchants in the ByWard Marof calls were medically related and that an increase in officers wouldn’t ket, police chief Charles Bordeleau says there are more boots on the ground. solve that problem.

Notice of Completion Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Environmental Assessment (EA) study. The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station), approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility (LMSF) in the north-west quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex); and, • Support a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility (LMSF) for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the approved West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive (WTEBM) project, and is currently under construction as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017.

Cold Weather Tips for Pets Just because animals have built in fur coats doesn’t mean they are immune to the harsh realities of a Canadian winter. With a bit of thoughtful planning, your best friend will be warm and safe when the snowflakes fly. With winter on its way, here are some tips for animal care in cold weather:

Limit exposure: When the mercury plunges, exercise caution and limit your pet’s exposure to the outdoors. Salt: While the salt used on roads and driveways is helpful in preventing spills, it can irritate the sensitive pads on the bottom of your pet’s feet. Keep a towel by your front door and wipe down your pooch’s paws after a walk so they aren’t tempted to lick them clean. Fresh water: If you keep any water bowls outside for your animals during the winter, be sure to check the supply a few times a day to ensure it isn’t frozen over. If you are unable to provide fresh, clean water regularly throughout the day you need to provide an insulated, heated water bowl in order to keep the water from freezing. Car engines: Cats and wildlife are drawn to the heat generated by your car’s engine on cold days. Make sure you bang on your car’s hood to avoid injuring a sleeping creature. Antifreeze: The taste of antifreeze is tasty to many animals, and they’ll readily consume it if given the chance. But even a small amount of antifreeze can be harmful, or even fatal, to your pet. When adding antifreeze to your vehicle, pour carefully and clean up any spills that may occur. It’s also a good idea to check that your car isn’t leaking fluid. Identification: Having an animal run away from home at any time of the year is troublesome, but especially during the winter season. Make sure your best friends are equipped with proper identification, including a collar, tag and microchip to ensure they have the best possible chance of finding their way back to you.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Expressing yourself authentically is proving difficult, Aries. But this will pass shortly. Eventually, your persistence will pay off, and others will see that your intentions are genuine.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It may be challenging to separate your fantasies from reality right now, Leo. Even though things are vivid in your mind, others may help clarify things for you.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it may seem like your time in the spotlight has come and gone, but that isn’t the case. You have plenty of time to show what you can accomplish.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 If your dreams are within reason, there is no reason why they can’t come to fruition, Taurus. You just may need a few friends in your corner to help make things happen.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, no career goal is out of reach right now. Therefore, if you’ve been thinking of a career move, now is a great time to put those plans in motion.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it may take an intense effort to concentrate on your work this week because your thoughts keep drifting elsewhere. You must rein in your wandering mind.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Something in your life is causing you undue stress, Scorpio. Find a way to let it all go by focusing on thoughts and things that bring you happiness.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 The search for the truth could lead you on a bit of a wild adventure, Pisces. Eventually, you can get to the bottom of the situation.
