Why does Ontario need a pumped storage project?

Ontario's electricity demand is increasing!

As we transition away from fossil-fuel generation we must prepare now to ensure our electricity supply and infrastructure can meet future demand.

Emission-free power generation, such as nuclear, wind and hydro, often generates electricity when it’s not needed and not available when consumers want it.

Using water and gravity, this project is effectively a natural battery that will store electricity for when it is needed most. It is a made-in-Meaford solution that will provide clean, reliable, secure and cost-effective electricity for all of Ontario.

Your feedback matters! Meaford is a special place.

We want it to stay that way.

OFFICIALLY, TC ENERGY’S ELECTRICITYSTORING MEGAPROJECT—proposed for the 4th Canadian Division Training Centre on Department of National Defence (DND) land in Meaford—is called the Ontario Pumped Storage Project. TC Energy (TCE) promises the facility will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs and make Ontario’s electricity grid more efficient. Community groups, however, call it Ontario’s View of shoreline at the 4th Canadian Division Training Centre, Meaford.

worst energy mistake and a threat to Georgian Bay. Pumped storage works like a large-scale battery, utilizing water and gravity to store energy. TCE is proposing the construction of a 152-hectare reservoir to hold millions of cubic metres of water. During periods of low energy demand, water would be pumped upslope to the reservoir and held before being released back into Georgian Bay to regenerate electricity at times of peak demand.

WE LISTEN WE SPEAK OUT WE GET INVOLVED. 3 Questions with CARP’s New President Rudy Buttignol, C.M.

What attracted you to CARP? RB: We live in a very youth-oriented culture and we often forget that there is this huge group of people who have helped build the country. I’m a member of this group – we have financial and health concerns that are really important. And there are people in this group who are particularly vulnerable and not served well. CARP creates a community that gives these people a voice – that’s what really attracted me.

Why the emphasis on building community?

RB: One of the biggest issues, probably for everybody and but more so for older people, is loneliness. Loneliness leads to poor health and a loss of interest in life. But who looks after loneliness? My invitation to seniors is to join us at CARP, because together we're stronger – and you’re not alone. So come for the community – and discover the benefits!

Where do you see CARP going in the next few years?

RB: Life in a post-pandemic world has changed for everybody. We need to understand how the world has changed and define our place as older citizens in that world. As CARP President I intend to use the opportunity to rethink our vision, adapt our technology and leverage ZoomerMedia’s print, broadcast and digital platforms in order to to talk to, connect with and engage our members continuously.

FALL/HOLIDAY 2023

MODERN TRAVEL

STARTS AT YOUR FRONT DOOR Sure, it’s fun to romanticize about The Golden Age of Flying – the unrestrained glamour, the over-the-top excitement, gourmet meals, neverending cocktails, feather pillows, and of course ample leg room for all.

But what about the most difficult part of the journey, that of getting to the airport safely and on time.

We face the same struggles today – confusion, inadequate parking, uncertainty, apprehension, and expense.

We invite you to relax and enjoy door-to-door passenger service between Simcoe County and Pearson International Airport.

We’ll get you there safely, on time, and without the anxiety of navigating highway traffic or the hassle of parking.

ECA’s Natural Heritage Project in full swing!

scientific methods to delve deeper into the Escarpment’s brow and slopes, identifying endangered species, measuring biodiversity levels, and mapping vegetation.

The Natural Heritage Project launched this spring. Phase 1 focuses on the Castle Glen area. Our dedicated team of contracted field biologists, ecologists and strategic spatial development planners are employing

The ultimate goal? To detail and map Eco-Corridors spanning the South Georgian Bay Escarpment, in order to safeguard its most fragile ecosystems based on an evidence-based foundation.

particular shot that stole the spotlight was Capturing Nature’s Fragility: One a Burtynsky photograph capturing the iconic final side launch of the Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin, a The Edward Burtynsky powerful symbol of the town’s heritage shared for Event by the Escarpment the first time.

Corridor Alliance

O

n September 22 and 23, 2023, Collingwood played host to a truly remarkable event that blended art, environmental advocacy, and community engagement. Presented by the Escarpment Corridor Alliance, the Edward Burtynsky Event showcased the work of renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose stunning images explore the intricate relationship between human activity and the natural world.

This two-day event not only celebrated the beauty of our planet but also raised awareness about its fragility and the need for collective action to protect it, especially here in the SGB region.

The Edward Burtynsky Event was a resounding success, with three sold-out events at the Gayety Theatre, nearly 700 attendees, and a strong message of hope for the preservation of our natural heritage.

Edward Burtynsky’s Personal Connection to South Georgian Bay Edward Burtynsky’s keynote address was a highlight of the event, customized for SGB with a heartfelt narrative about his deep connection to the area and his unwavering passion for its protection.

A Night of Celebration and Fundraising The event was not only a feast for the eyes but also a source of significant financial support for the work of the ECA. The generosity of the attendees, sponsors and donors was overwhelming.

These funds will be channeled towards initiatives where science informs policy, ensuring a path to protecting the sensitive Escarpment.

Panel Discussion: A Message of Hope The event concluded with a panel discussion that left attendees inspired and hopeful. The overarching message was clear: with the support of the people, meaningful change is possible.

The success of the Greenbelt initiative, which protects vital natural areas in Ontario, served as a shining example of what can be achieved when communities unite in defense of their environment. The internationally recognized members of the panel included Edward Burtynsky, Jack Contin (former President of the Aboriginal Tourism Association for Southern Ontario), Jessica Kaknevicius, CEO of Forests Ontario, and Mike Robbins, a highly respected global tourism consultant.

ECA furthering collaboration among municipalities and environmental groups The ECA was formed in late 2021 with the vision of creating a network of eco-corridors and trails that unites over 500 square km of incredibly beautiful forest, wetlands, and five watersheds connecting the Blue Mountains and Beaver Valley, Castle Glen and Kolapore.

Bruce Harbinson, President of the ECA, commented, “We are fully focused on three specific strategies: 1. Conserving strategic green spaces with strong biodiversity by stopping inappropriate mega developments on the Escarpment.

2. Creating a strategic ecological-corridor system and promoting a Conservation Economy.

3. Uniting like-minded local and regional groups with shared visions through strategic collaboration and partnerships”

Leaks go away, urgency subsides, and you feel in control of your bladder instead of your bladder controlling you. 95% of those who complete treatment report a significant quality of life improvement and nearly 80% eliminate pads or significantly reduce the use of pads.

The first thing you see at UROSPOT is a wall with hundreds of testimonials from women and men eager to share their outcomes with others. One happy client wrote

s there anything more annoying than a bladder leak when you laugh, cough, sneeze or exercise? What about the constant urge to use the bathroom and the worry that you won’t find one in time?

Here’s the truth. These are common problems faced by 2/3 of all women, but that does not make them normal. Our bodies should not leak urine. If they do, it can be a sign of disfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. Once these problems start, they tend to get worse and sadly too many women simply suffer in silence.

UROSPOT is a private urology clinic that is disrupting this condition. Combining innovative health care technology and education, UROSPOT is quite simply changing people’s lives.

The luxurious environment at UROSPOT is filled with a caring team focused on changing your life. At UROSPOT you sit fully clothed on a Health Canada approved “chair” lovingly referred to as the Kegel Throne. This chair uses high intensity electromagnetic energy to contract your pelvic floor muscles 11,000 times in 28 minutes. That’s right. 11,000 kegels in 28 minutes. The stimulation of the muscles happens with no pain, no person touching you and nothing going inside your body. You simply sit while the chair restores the strength of your pelvic floor. It is the most dignified treatment. Not only do you receive 11,000 kegels, but the energy also acts as a “reboot” of the neuromuscular connection between your brain, bladder and pelvic floor.

“I sleep through the night, I can drive for hours with no leaks, I can jump on a trampoline with my kids, my life is changed!”

Another shared “I am so happy with my treatment! I am so glad I decided to take this opportunity. My results have been life changing. From sneezing, coughing, walking distances, I am so impressed at how much treatment has helped! I haven’t had to use a pad or bladder support since.”

Everything starts with a complimentary consultation at UROSPOT. During this appointment you will receive so much valuable education and you will get to try the chair.

If you have benefits for physiotherapy, they can be used towards the cost of treatment as well. Imagine using your benefits for something so life changing. What are you waiting for?

CONSIGNMENT BOUTIQUE AND DESIGNER EXCHANGE

Loved You Madly is a Consignment Boutique and Designer Exchange on the charming main street of Thornbury. Although their doors opened three short years ago it somehow feels as if it has been there much longer. The owner Lesley Fisher has been a long time, part time resident of Thornbury and now she and her family consider it their permanent home.

Loved You Madly consigns Ladies wear, Home Furnishings and most recently they have added The Men’s Room for all the fashionable men in the area.

Lesley’s background in Retail, Fashion & Visual Merchandising is evident at LYM as the stock and displays are in constant motion and the inventory turnover is impressive. Every day is a new display day at LYM as consignors are always bringing in interesting items.

At 3500 square feet LYM is large enough to get lost in and many customers and consignors are happy to spend a long afternoon browsing the unique inventory, some visit almost weekly so as not to miss a special find. All items are carefully curated by Lesley and her staff. They are very committed to keeping the level of merchandise to a high standard of style, quality and wearability in the fashion department and in the furniture department the style and quality is as important as uniqueness. They carry Louis Vuitton to Lava Lamps; “nothing boring” is Lesley’s rule of thumb!!

Chamber of Commerce (the Jaycees). Frank Bryan, an entrepreneurial fundraiser for the Jaycees, was 24 that summer. He reached out to Armstrong’s management about a Collingwood show. Bryan knew Louis Armstrong was performing a fourconcert tour of Ontario with the closest booking at Dunn’s Pavilion (now The Key to Bala). A Friday night was blank on their itinerary.

“I reached out to the tour manager. We agreed to the booking over the phone,” recalls Bryan, who now lives in Markham. Bryan also arranged for a

mopping handkerchief—defrosting, he called it.”

Signature tunes such as “When the Saints Go Marching In”, “Mack the Knife” and “La Vie En Rose” kept the audience mesmerized.

“Jaycee president Buddy Brown tried to convince people to dance but we just wanted to sit, afraid to miss a note,” recalls my mother, Helen Taylor, who was 24 at the time and attended the concert, and the party afterwards, with my father.

The Collingwood firehall was on Ste. Marie Street behind the arena. Louis Armstrong’s tour

“and wasn’t too happy the next morning with the number of empty bottles all over our lawn.”

Armstrong himself held court in the kitchen telling stories and trading jokes. “It was as if a movie star had stepped off the screen of the Gayety Theatre and come to life,” my mother recalls. Bryan remembers Armstrong as relaxed and convivial. “He told of making films with Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby (his favourite singer). About stopping a civil war on his tour of the Congo the previous year.” Armstrong

Honoured that Satchmo was playing in Collingwood, the crowd dressed for the occasion.

The Enterprise-Bulletin reported “spontaneous applause greeted the first notes as each selection was immediately recognized.” The silent, seated audience was in “rapt attention and ready appreciative response” as Armstrong and his band performed from a makeshift stage of the wrestling ring. Armstrong made “trademark use of his brow-

bus had limped into town and parked beside the firehall. The vehicle was making “god awful noises and burning blue smoke,” recalled my uncle, Ron “King” Taylor, who was a new firefighter at the time. Firefighters called the heavy equipment mechanic, Lyle Dickey, from Hanna Motors to repair the bus. Word got out about the small reception at Frank Bryan’s. Bryan called friends (including my parents) who lit up the town’s party lines and descended on the house. “My mother claimed half the town showed up,” Bryan recalls,

Sound Advice Hearing health has a wide-ranging impact on well-being. Here’s why it’s time to stop ignoring yours.

­­

A new hearing test revealed she had a loss and could use a hearing aid. Though only 38 years old at the time, Strype didn’t hesitate.

As a medical practitioner who fits people with devices herself, she says, “It was just such a no-brainer for me.” But that’s not the case with most people.

Jessie Strype FALL/HOLIDAY 2023 ON THE BAY

Campbell has recently been able to move into better-quality hearing aids, which have allowed her to hear the little sounds she’d always missed, like the rain or the rustling of tree leaves in the wind.“I used to sit at the cottage and just watch them, but I didn’t realize that they made a sound.”

Erica Campbell

Genetics, loud noise, infection, injury and certain medications can all contribute to hearing loss, but age-related hearing loss, known as “presbycusis,” is the most common cause.

As we grow older, our auditory system experiences wear and tear. All those years of listening to music turned up in the car and going to concerts without earplugs eventually take their toll. As early as our late forties, high-frequency sounds, like children’s voices, alarms and even birdsong, can become hard to hear. Our hearing continues to decline gradually, with hearing loss becoming more pronounced in our sixties and seventies.

For Jessie Strype, optician and owner of Blink Eyewear in Collingwood, hearing loss was always on her radar because she’d watched her father contend with age-related hearing loss for years. It

104

FALL/HOLIDAY 2023 ON THE BAY

was during the pandemic, though, that she noticed something had changed. Once the masks went on and the Plexiglas barriers went up, Strype realized how much she’d been relying on seeing people’s mouths to understand what they were saying.

Now, she was constantly asking people to repeat themselves. A new hearing test revealed she had a loss and could use a hearing aid.

Though only 38 years old at the time, Strype didn’t hesitate. As a medical practitioner who fits people with devices herself, she says, “It was just such a no-brainer for me.” But that’s not the case with most people.

Beyond Judgment and Stigma

Eyeglasses were once considered nerdy until the fashion world deemed them chic. The same thing happened for orthotic shoes like Birkenstocks.

Unfortunately, hearing aids have not yet benefited from a similar image makeover. Wearing hearing aids still carries a social stigma, and their association with aging or disability deters many who could benefit from using them.

“If you injure your knee and somebody says you need a brace, you just go get it,” says Dr. Alipasha Rassouli, ENT, based in Owen Sound.

“But hearing loss is different. When you tell someone that they have a hearing loss, what they hear is ‘I am old.’” So, they fight it, they deny it, they live with it and make accommodations.

But, “it’s no different than needing glasses,” says Rassouli. “You have a loss; you need an aid. It’s as simple as that.”

Strype says most people are really shocked when they find out she wears an aid. “I get a lot of ‘But you’re so young!’” And when people tell her they

Ignoring your hearing loss has long term consequences

A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE

Think ignoring your hearing loss only affects your relationships?

Think again.

Untreated hearing loss has been shown to increase your risk of developing dementia by up to five times. And serious falls that can put you in hospital?

Ignoring your hearing loss puts you at a 10 times greater risk.

The benefits of becoming a foundation funder We can all agree that there are many ways to give to a registered charity or qualified donee. And any gift, no matter the size, makes an impact that benefits communities, creates new opportunities and generates positive change. But for dedicated philanthropists with the means to make major gifts, there is a highly effective way to make a meaningful difference.

In the past several years we’ve watched as more Canadians have moved from making ad hoc donations to establishing their own foundations to give back—often using donor advised funds, or as we call them at Canada Gives, Foundation accounts. The reason: they want to create a longerterm impact with their generosity and know that their charitable dollars are making a difference. By becoming foundation funders, they can make grants that deliver a stable, sustainable source of funding to their preferred charity.

A one-time gift is still wonderful, of course, but a pledge of a specific annual grant amount made over five years or more can be utterly transformative, allowing a charitable organization to make long-term strategic plans and commit to life-changing community supports.

What are you waiting for?

Call today for your FREE* hearing test. Your future health will thank you.

Learn more at HearWellBeWell.ca Meaford 519-538-0060 Stayner 705-428-0099 * Hearing test is free for adults 19 years and older.

For nearly two decades, our organization has helped Foundation families build true partnerships with the charities they support. Many of our donor clients even opt to lend their time and considerable professional expertise— in areas such as operational management, marketing or finance—as they seek to take their charitable support to another level. For many, passive cheque book philanthropy has become, well, passé.

In addition, Canada Gives Foundation accounts empower philanthropists to act quickly in times of crisis or need. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, when new donations were scarce, our donor clients were able to give liberally because they had already donated charitable funds into their Foundation accounts, and were ready to grant to charitable organizations in dire need of financial support. Now, at a time when inflation has placed a significant burden on charities, that granting mechanism is proving just as useful.

There’s another benefit to this ongoing shift to foundation funding. By engaging with foundation funders in their marketing and fundraising campaigns, charities can attract long-term gifts to help achieve their operational mandates. That’s especially important as we edge nearer to the holiday giving season, when charitable organizations attract the bulk of their funding from donations.

We can all agree that philanthropists can make our world a brighter place when they embrace this dynamic approach to giving back.

GO AHEAD,

SMILE

Creating healthy, happy smiles for the whole family.

Does your personal credo include never boarding a cruise ship, wearing a colour-coded arm bracelet or going to an all-inclusive resort?

Does seeing a pod of orcas skimming through the waves or walking through an alpine meadow bursting with wildflowers fill you with awe?

Becoming a Foundation funder: The better way to create meaningful change This holiday season, shift from making ad hoc donations to longer-term giving using a Canada Gives Foundation account Canada Gives helps major donors build meaningful partnerships with the charities they support. Using simple, flexible donor advised funds—or as we call them, Foundation accounts—you can make grants that deliver a stable and sustainable source of funding to your preferred charity.

The benefit: Charities can achieve their operational mandates and you can better target your generosity—while we manage the administration, reporting and CRA compliance requirements.
