With their scarlet tunics and bearskin headdress, the Ceremonial Guard of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Band of the Ceremonial Guard and its Pipes & Drums are the most recognizable military unit in Canada. For over 50 years the Changing of the Guard has been a top Ottawa summer attraction, having thrilled thousands of visitors on Parliament Hill. They proudly provide sentries at the National War Memorial and Rideau Hall, the official residence of His Excellency David Johnston, the Governor General of Canada. This year Corporal Jake Penner, a Leamington resident, has the opportunity to spend his summer as part of this tradition. Penner is a soldier with the Royal Canadian Dragoons and an Afghanistan veteran. “Joining the Ceremonial Guard is sure to be a unique experience in the Canadian Armed Forces,” said Jake. “It is a great opportunity to gain some increased experience in my drill and leadership in the Canadian Armed Forces.” Penner is presently undergoing three weeks of intensive drill training during which he will master the precision movements, attain a high standard of dress and deportment, undergo extensive physical fitness training, and be fitted and tailored in the scarlet uniform. He also expects that he will have an opportunity to explore Ottawa during the summer and is looking forward to it. During the summer, Jake will also participate in Ceremonial Guard appearances around eastern Ontario, as well as the culmination event known as Fortissimo. Fortissimo is a military and musical spectacular event that takes place in late July on the lawns of Parliament Hill.

LHIN backing plan to keep OB in Leamington At the Erie St. Clair (ESC) LHIN open board meeting on June 23 the Board issued a final decision regarding the Leamington and Area Obstetrics and Birthing Services. The LHIN Board recommends that work continues on the development of the Navigation Centre with a target of receiving a briefing of the final model’s structure and parameters of services by this fall. The Board also recomended that a simulation exercise occurs before putting the new services in place. The results and outcomes of the simulation exercise will be summarized in a readiness assessment report to be shared with the Board prior to the Navigation Centre’s formal operation. The ESC LHIN also instructed staff to work with LDMH on the cost structure and care model of the obstetrics service and work with the MOHLTC on temporary financial support for the expansion of the slow stream rehabilitation beds until the impact of the expanded beds are fully recognized through the hospital’s funding formula impact. Since the announcement of the proposed service change, the Board has heard from LDMH, community leaders, stakeholders, and the general public during the 30-day comment period regarding the program changes proposed by LDMH. The OB was originally slated to close at the end of March due to funding shortfalls, but a major community campaign to Save OB encouraged more public meetings to discuss the potential safety risks involved with sending patients to Windsor or Chatham.
