Lafarge bringing activities, safety and trucks BY SARAH MURRELL VOICE Staff With a continued focus on safety and a desire to be involved with community events, Lafarge Fonthill has become a Gold sponsor of Summerfest this year. Lafarge made a $2,500 donation to become sponsors of the Active Zone during the Summerfest street festival in July of this year. The Active Zone is designed to promote an active lifestyle for all ages. It includes activities by Pelham Basketball, Little Kickers, Pelham Minor Hockey, Freewheelers, the Bruce Trail Club and Pelham Active Transportation Committee. The zone also features a bike rodeo, Nordic walking, Zumba challenge, hula hoops, skipping, hackey sack and other activities. As sponsor of the Active Zone, Lafarge will have two trucks at the event on Saturday, July 21 for a “touch a truck” activity.

In The Orchard art camps, workshops & more into treasure. Melissa Mader, lead instructor with Art2, says kids will undertake projects such as turning t-shirts into yarn and then knitting scarves with them and making wallets and purses out of recycled leather. “Students will have the opportunity to create their own product line and we will help them market that,� says Mader, who has a background in fashion design as well as marketing and retail. Mader says the students will also be working on a large composition project which she hopes to enter in Strutt, the Niagara Art Committee’s annual fashion show. The camp runs daily, July 9 to 13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mader says the camp, sponsored through the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, offers 15 spots at no cost for youth who qualify. ITO is also running Art2 workshops every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 p.m. where people of all ages are welcome and will have a chance to enjoy various
BY SARAH MURRELL VOICE Staff In The Orchard is blossoming this spring preparing for two new art programs, weekly workshops and a summer full of fun and creative art camps. Using funding from the 4th Annual Mayor’s Gala In The Orchard (ITO) Programming for the Arts is going to create a community art project. Last Saturday, June 16, was the kick off for ITO’s Art2 program which focuses on upcycling items that are donated to The Salvation Army, including clothes, furniture and jewelry. The Art2 Youth Camp is being offered in July for those interested in starting their own business on upcycled products. It is a textile based camp which will focus on teaching kids to use sewing machines and work with textile arts, but also to think outside of the box and explore the idea of turning trash

activities based around the theme of upcycling. ITO Executive Director Angie Giess says the Art2 program is largely based on the idea of finding uses for discarded and unwanted items, a theme the Art2 program was designed to address. The program demonstrates
that over-consumption is a social problem that affects the world as well as our local community. Art2 also emphasizes the tangible methods artists have at their disposal to reduce, reuse and recycle. “One thing we’ve learned over the years is
building a strong sense of community. “They’ll create their own sense of community with each other,� said Duffin. “We have awesome camps as usual,� says Giess on ITOs weekly summer camps for children ages four to 13. “Keeping in line with popular themes of society,� Giess said the camps feature a different theme each week. Themes include earth art, the Hunger Games, fashion and bling, sculpture, art2chitecture, zombies and unsolved mysteries, paint big and musical theatre. Each week of camp includes drawing, painting, sculpture, drama and music. Camps are offered weekly or daily beginning July 2.

we like to use as much recycled material as possible,� said Giess. In August ITO is inviting youth members of the community, ages 13 to 18, to take part in a community art project that will result in a public installment of the work created by the youth. “The purpose is to do an art project on display for the community,� says Sara Duffin who will be leading the Community Art Project (CAP). Duffin explains the kids will be decorating a peach tree, which is being removed from her orchard, with lights, ornaments and lanterns. All of the decorations will be made by the youth through creative activities at ITO. “We hope the process gives them an understanding of giving back,� says Duffin, noting being part of CAP will allow the youth to feel part of a team working toward

VIEWpoints The silent pet killer found in every home Here in Southern Ontario the routine starts to be familiar, summer arrives, the weather warms, sooner or later the first “Heat Alert” is issued. Everybody seeks out air conditioning, arms themselves with water, avoids the sun, slows down and waits for it to pass. We rarely have to wait long before the news reports the first pet (or child!) to die trapped in a car. Many of us shake our heads and mutter “when will people learn?” But here is a more important message – your pet does not need a car to succumb to heat stroke! Veterinarians can anticipate ending most “Heat Alert” days trying to save the life of at least one pet succumbing to heat stroke. Relatively FEW of these patients will have been confined in cars. Heat Stroke occurs when heat generated within the body exceeds the body’s ability to dissipate heat. Most people assess their pet’s ability to manage the hot weather by comparing their young, fit dog to themselves – if you are doing OK in the heat, so should your pet, right? WRONG!!! Your pet will start to generate heat the same as you, but their ability to dissipate heat is MUCH worse than you! This causes their internal body
temperature to rise much faster than your own. Why can’t they dissipate heat very well? For one – they wear a fur coat constantly! Our pets are unable to sweat (other than a small amount through the pads on their feet). Sweating captures heat from the body in the perspiration droplets, which are then evaporated from the skin, dissipating heat and helping to prevent over-heating. The more of your skin surface that sweats, the faster you cool. Pets can pant though, right? Sure – and panting helps to cool the body the same way sweating does. But let’s take a moment to consider the surface area of your dog’s tongue compared to the surface area of all your sweating skin. Now we start to understand how Rex’s core body temperature can start to skyrocket while you are still sipping your ice water and fanning yourself sitting next to him. Now we can consider a few more factors that can worsen Rex’s over heating 10-fold. If any ONE of the following factors also apply to Rex, he may be in grave danger during a heat wave: Is Rex overweight? Is Rex a “short-nosed” (brachycephalic) breed? (these include breeds or
mixes of pugs, Boxers, Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apso – and many more). Is Rex being exercised? (walks, running or playing with other dogs). Does Rex always have access to water and shade? Is Rex older? Does Rex have even minor respiratory or heart disease? Please take a moment to consider what actually is occurring in the body as Heat Stroke sets in. It is not “just getting too hot”. Your pet’s normal core body temperature is 38C39.2C. As the ambient air temperature and humidity start to rise your pet begins to pant and drool in an effort to dissipate heat. The body then vasodilates; blood vessels expand trying to bring more blood to the skin surface to allow heat to dissipate via radiation & convection. Unfortunately this vasodilation also results in a drop in blood pressure. As blood pressure drops the body can no longer sustain heat dissipation through radiation & convection, and core body temperature starts to rise dramatically. Tissue damage inside the body starts to occur as the core body temperature rises over 41.5C (only 2 C above normal!). The tissue damage quickly results in gastrointestinal
injury, kidney failure, brain swelling, coma, brain damage, liver and heart failure and then death. A core body temperature over 43.5C (only 4C above normal) for just a few minutes, can cause death. What are the symptoms of heat stroke? The 1st signs are panting, drooling and an increased heart rate. We are very accustomed to our dogs panting and drooling, we rarely take notice of it. But if the weather is hot or humid – when your dog starts to pant and drool you should be taking active measures to get them cooled down. You may be observant enough to notice your pet’s gum colour is darker red than usual, but this will then change to pale, grey gums as their blood pressure drops. Next symptom – collapse! Wow – see how quickly that can sneak up on you? After collapse things get critical fast, you may see vomiting, diarrhea, bloody vomit, or bloody diarrhea, then they slip into unconsciousness. What to do if you suspect heat stroke: When your dog starts to pant and drool, get them into air conditioning right away (even your car with the air conditioning running high!). If there is no air conditioning get them into the shade, make
them calm down. Excited dogs may still want to play at this point, they might play right up until they collapse. You know better, force them to settle down. Offer water to drink. Apply a cool wet towel to their belly, or wet down their fur. If the panting and drooling subsides in a few minutes then retire to the air conditioning and avoid the outside. If the panting and drooling persist, or your pet is reluctant to stand up then you need to get them to a veterinarian right away. Do not dunk a collapsed pet in cold water as it may worsen their shock. How to prevent Heat Stroke: Ensure your pet ALWAYS has access to water and shade; please keep your pets indoors ,in the air conditioning, during a Heat Wave; please NEVER take your pet out in the car during the hot weather – they would rather miss you during your errands than possibly die; never exercise your dog during the day in a Heat Wave; if your pet is a “short-nosed” breed, older, overweight or has breathing or heart concerns do not exercise them AT ALL during a heat wave and be very cautious during any warm weather. I cannot stress enough how serious and how
Free, family fun. There are plenty of ways to describe the excitement building for Summerfest 2012, but the above three words sum it all up best. And the committee is happy to add to the excitement this week by announcing details about the entertainment.

Chance to win one of five local golf packages The summer is here and what’s better than spending a morning on a beautiful golf course in Pelham? Winning the round, of course. United Way South Niagara is currently selling raffle tickets on one of five golf packages for local golf courses, including Peninsula Lakes, Sparrow Lakes, Riverview, Water Park and Pelham Hills. Pelham Campaign Chair Rick Tarajos says his local campaign had a brainstorming session coming up with ideas keeping in mind the need to effectively raise funds, understanding the economic environment
we’re in, and coming up with something that worked for local organizations. “Tickets for prizes do well,” said Tarajos, so the group decided on a raffle. The golf courses were “awesome” when approached and didn’t give a second thought about donating to the raffle, said Tarajos. “They were all very generous,” he said, noting the golf courses are giving back to their community while at the same time getting people to come out and enjoy their course. The draw will be held July 16, with plenty of time for the winners to enjoy a day on the golf course. There are 750 tickets available, says Tarajos, and
Last week a group of former Fonthill kids got together at Keith’s to catch up and reminisce about the good old days when they were members of the Fonthill Road Lions Car Club. About 20 former members from all over Ontario, and one from Kamloops, BC, attended the first Road Lion reunion in almost 50 years to talk cars. “These former club members jumped at the chance to meet their old friends and club members,” says John Delgaty, a member of the club from 1965 to 1971. “This was always a close knit car club that was certainly a great asset to the community of Fonthill and surrounding areas.” The Road Lions were created in 1963 when the Fonthill Lions Club, which then met at Davis Hall, gave a small building, once a horse stable, on the property to a small group of teenagers who were interested in cars. Gord Bradley, a member of the club, recalls a meeting between the Lions and a group of young men who hung out a the corner. The young men were offered the building at $1 per year, but the Lions had some expectations from them as well, including assistance with Lions Club fundraising, helping other youth in the community and representing the Lions with dignity. The group “took the bull by the horns” and created a three-bay garage that featured all of the necessary tools to work on automotive projects, remembers Delgaty,
noting the group did paper drives, scrap metal drives and sold tickets on a 1923 Ford Bucket T Roadster to raise money to build the garage. The club house featured an office and the members equipped it with an old black and white TV, a phone and an oil furnace to supply heat. The members built a club car, a 1955 Chevy two-door with a 265 V8, to race at the local drag strips. “I wish I had that car today,” says Delgaty. The members did all of the work to get the car ready for the track, including Jim Ryan who did the body work and paint job. The club car did well and earned the Road Lions a significant amount of hardware. Members of the club also built their own drag cars, and Delgaty says it wasn’t uncommon to see four or five of their members at the drag strip. “The Fonthill Lions Club gave us a chance to prove ourselves,” says Delgaty, “and prove ourselves we did.” Thirty members passed through the club doors from 1963 to approximately 1973. The Road Lions Car Club gave young men a chance to get off the street and work together on projects, to share their knowledge with other members, and accomplish something together. “I would personally like to thank the Lion’s Club members for their forethought and support in offering space and direction to the youth of Fonthill,” says Bradley.

with five golf packages to win, the odds are pretty good. “Everyone has a chance to win,” said Tarajos, adding it’s also a great way to support the community noting with UWSN donations are local dollars that stay local. “You have a chance of winning something and at the same time you’re ensuring your dollars are put to good use in the community.” Tickets sales, he added, are “brisk”, noting Sobeys very generously let the team sell tickets in front of the store over the Fathers’ Day weekend. Tickets are also available at each of the participating golf courses and at the UWSN office in the Seaway Mall. Tickets are $5 each or

St. Alexander students walk to help others BY SARAH MURRELL VOICE Staff A six hour walk last Tuesday around the community of Fonthill was the culmination of a year long project for Grade 8 St. Alexander School students. The students held a faith walk to raise money for healthcare in Kenya, strolling through Fonthill for six hours on Tuesday, June 22. Alyssa Girotti explained the Me To We group at the school has been working for the entire school year to raise funds to help build a clinic in Kenya. The clinic, she said, would have prenatal care for women, provide
immunizations for children, and be an urgent care clinic as well. The students have also been raising funds to buy Malaria nets, she said. “It’s been a long year doing that,” said Girotti, noting the students raised more than $3,500. Throughout the year the group held a number of fundraisers, including a book sale, egg-grams and heart-grams. For the walk, they collected pledges from family and friends and also asked for sponsorship from local businesses. Businesses who helped out got some free advertising, as the students carried banners throughout their walk. “It’s a community thing,” said Stephen Cho, noting
the walk also helped the students raise awareness about the situation in Kenya, where children are unschooled, go hungry and have little access to health care. “They’re on the other side of the world, you don’t see it,” said Samuel Buytron, explaining through the walk the students can help others see how bad the situation is in Kenya. “We have it easy,” said Girotti, adding many people in the western world take the ease of their lives for granted. “A lot of people worked really hard to help hunger,” said Meagan Boc of the groups fundraising. “We’ve been working all year to help.”
St. Alexander Grade 8 students Meagan Boc (back, left), Alyssa Girotti, Stephen Cho, Alexander Dipaola, Wesley Gibson (front, left) and Samual Buytron took part in a walk last week to raise funds and awareness for health care in Kenya.

Planning started on Pelham Corners reunion
Interest in a bigger reunion of the former Pelham Corners School students was generated after a small group of girls from the “Old Neighbourhood” of Pelham Corners (Haist Road South and Welland Road area) informally met to reminisce last summer. History tells us that as early as 1835 the “Village of Pelham Corners” needed a school. Samuel Rice set aside one-half acre of his property for a school house and a teacher’s residence in 1865 on Welland Road. A conservative styled brick school house was built in 1881. However it is believed that a classroom was housed earlier
in the building belonging to the Brasford family and later Mr. and Mrs. Weed. With the increasing enrolment an addition was constructed in front of the existing brick building in the 1950s. There was a large, scenic playground surrounding this school in a quiet rural neighbourhood. Pelham Corners School was closed in the 1970s and later destroyed by fire in 1987. Friendships formed at this school and during this unique time period have been longlasting and this is a great opportunity to enjoy the fellowship and fun with a cup of
coffee and a cookie in the “Old Neighbourhood”! Former students and teachers and their families and friends are invited to attend an informal gathering at Pelham Evangelical Friends Church (940 Haist Street South) on Saturday September 22, 2012 from 1 to 4 p.m. A nominal charge of $5 will be collected to cover the refreshments provided. Any memorabilia is welcomed for displays to enhance the memories and fellowship. Spread the word! Visit the web page: at pelhamcornersschoolreunion. webs.com Contact committee members:

Izzy Dolls sold on Canada Day help children BY SARAH MURRELL VOICE Staff When Master Corporal Mark Isfeld was serving in Croatia with 1 Combat Engineer Regiment, Canadian Military Engineers, on a Canadian peacekeeping mission, he wrote to his mother about seeing children with no toys and no possessions, everything they had lost in war. She began knitting tiny dolls that Isfeld could give to children he saw while in Croatia. After Isfeld died clearing landmines in 1994 the
ROTARIAN Tove Bowman knits her Izzy Dolls that she will sell on Canada Day to help eradicate Polio and donate to Africa to brings smiles to children there. Sarah Murrell/Voice Photo
dolls became known as Izzy Dolls and continued to give comfort to children in Croatia as well as Africa. When Tove Bowman saw the Izzy Dolls online she immediately knew knitting the tiny dolls was something she could do. Bowman uses bits of yarn, collected at knitting guild meetings and donated by friends, to create the tiny, 5” tall dolls. The original Izzy Dolls wore the blue beret of Canadian peacekeepers. As the dolls evolved to be more than something a soldier gave to a scared child their style evolved as well. Because Bowman needs only small pieces of yarn her dolls come in a wide variety of colours and clothing styles. “Anything goes,” she says, noting children are drawn to bright colours. “The more ridiculous they are the more they are liked.” Bowman, who most recently was making sleeping mats out of milk bags, says she’s having much more fun knitting the little dolls, adding it is easier on her hands as well. She began knitting the dolls to donate to
children in Africa. “They have nothing,” she says, adding she’s already shipped a few dozen of the dolls. A member of the Fonthill Rotary Club, Bowman said she also wanted to do something to help with the eradication of Polio, a focus of Rotary this year. She has decided to sell the dolls on Canada Day at Harold Black Park and donate any monies raised to the Polio program. Bowman says she’s seen Polio and the damage it can do, recalling working at the Danish Embassy in Stockholm in 1953, during the last real epidemic of the disease. There are few countries in the world still reporting new cases of Polio, acrippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, says Bowman. “If we can get rid of it that would be nice,” she says. “So I knit.” During Pelham’s Canada Day celebrations Bowman will be in the children’s area, sponsored by Rotary Club of Fonthill, helping children make their own windmills. There she will also be selling her Izzy Dolls to help eradicate Polio. Any dolls left over, or any more she makes, will be sent to Africa.

This week in Pelham Minor Baseball action The PMBA Miller Restoration Rookie Ball team defeated the Welland Blue Jays on June 18th. Tiana Stukel, Evan Van Vliet, and Joshua Pennacchietti had solid hits in the game. On June 20th, despite only having 9 players for the game and playing in the scorching heat, the Rookies won 22 to 5 against Beamsville. Tyler Hunter, and Carly Elcich played impressive games and had really good hits. On June 21st Port Colborne faced the Pelham Peewee Meridian Credit Union team. It was a very close game until the fourth inning when Port Colborne’s bats came alive and Pelham was unable to answer back with their bat. In the first inning Ben Klassen caught a high fly ball and threw to first base to make a double play.
Blake Zurbrigg had a solid single to score Rowan McLellan, and a hard double by Matt Leppert scored Zurbrigg. In the second inning Pitcher Scott Hooper recorded three strikeouts. Hooper had one more strike out in the third inning, but the play of the inning was the relay from Ryan Dykstra in centre to the pitcher who then threw to the catcher Brock Pellow to tag the runner trying to make it home. In the fourth inning catcher Tristen Barnhart threw the runner out trying to steal third base. Defense led the way in the Mosquito Studio 20 Python’s victory against the Pelham Star Tile team. First baseman, Evan Kernaghan charged the baseline for an out with the help of Dan Durkin, then caught a foul fly ball for 2
outs in the 1st inning. RBI doubles from Durkin and Sarah Saldutto highlighted the bottom of the inning. Josh D’Onofrio had the opening hit of the 2nd inning. An RBI double from Sammy Ugulini, an RBI triple from Callan Saldutto and the first RBI of Malyssa Cimato’s team-leading 3-RBI game highlighted the 5-run inning. Sarah Saldutto impressed with her play at 1st base, first by quickly relaying a ball thrown from centrefielder Anasofia Vargas to Kernaghan at 3rd to tag out a runner in the 4th inning, and then by covering for 2 outs in the 5th inning - the first after catcher, Sammy Ugulini chased down a short choppy hit from home, and the next after Ayden Janas at 2nd knocked down an infield hit. The late innings saw
Mosquitos bug Harrow
Mathew Martel hit an RBI double, and a couple of big plays from catcher, Noah Wouthuis - a throw to Kernaghan at 3rd to tag out an attempted steal, and a catch of a foul tip for another out. The game ended as it began, with Evan Kernaghan charging the 1st baseline for the final out. The Giant Tiger Rookie Ball Steelers led the whole game on June 20th, only to have Welland come back in the top half of the last inning to tie the game. In the bottom half of the inning Brock Morden led off with a solid single to left. After a tough at bat by Grace Dillon, Jack Hughes sacrificed Morden to second, setting the stage for Carson Crysler’s game winning single. The Giant Tiger Steelers were led offensively by the Crysler brothers,
Carson and Curtis, Adam Repar, Ethan Engel and Morden with 3 hits each. Owen Dobbie and Drew McArthur chipped in with 2 hits apiece. Jenna Dobbie and Jack Hughes added one hit each. The Pelham Lunch Lady Rookie Select Panthers pounded an incredible 42 hits aganst Welland, only to come out on the losing end of the Rookie Select slugfest 29 to 28. Curtis Crysler led the hit parade with 5 hits while Wyatt Gibson, Owen Dobbie, Jacob Shirton, Nathan Denbak, and Cole Slingerland all added 4 hits each. Adding 3 hits each were Alex Rubino, Drew McArthur, Brock Morden, Anthony Battista, and Carson Crysler. Conner Denbak chipped in with 2 hits. The Lafarge Rookie Ball Blue Jays took on
the traveling Beamsville team this past Tuesday and came up ahead 136. A superb pop-fly catch by Simon Killeen in the second inning shut down the Beamsville bats, while Simon later contributed his own RBI with a bases loaded single. A picture perfect infield play from short stop Kelsie Dyson to second baseman Paige Dixon drew loud cheers from the crowd! Great fielding support was seen by Brendan Veenstra and Lucas Slingerland. Cole Slingerland had his best game yet at bat, with 2 doubles and numerous runs batted in. Ethan Wells, Wyatt Gibson, Alex Rubino and Michael Dyson all contributed fantastic hits and reliable base running. Maya Oakes came into the last inning swinging and logged an excellent base hit!

Pelham Peewee Rep team off to a good start The Pelham Peewee Rep baseball team sponsored by Bobcat of Hamilton is off to a good start this season. Although they are struggling against higher ranked centres in their own loop, they earned a spot in the finals at their first tournament in Port Dover. The only loss of the tourney was against Whitby, the same team they met up with in the final game losing the final 14-5. The entire team played fantastic getting three double plays in the tournament and not letting themselves get down even after a fourhour rain delay. The pitching staff of Patrick
Coupland, Evan Dobbie, Tyler Dobbie, Garrett Quast, Spencer Reynolds, Stephen Scott and Josh Stuart kept the hits to a minimum and the rest of the team didn’t let them down when they got their bats swinging. Evan Dobbie led the hit parade with five singles and one double, Spencer Reynolds was right behind with six singles. Dallas McKee contributed one triple, two doubles and two singles while Harry Steven pounded the ball for one triple, one double and three singles. Ryan Reece hit one double and four singles and Sydney Porte smashed out one triple and three singles. Garrett
Quast hit four singles while Patrick Coupland and Josh Stuart had two singles each and Stephen Scott had one single. Nathan Cook was absent from the tournament. Congratulations on a great tournament, you made Pelham proud.

Transforming Economic Immigration program For centuries immigrants have come to Canada to build better lives for their families. They have found a land of opportunity, amid strength, unity and purpose. We want our immigration system to encourage that but also to discourage those who abuse the system. We continue to improve the system to better meet the needs of the Canadian economy, and provide immigrants with as many opportunities as possible to contribute to our economic prosperity. To create a fast and flexible immigration system that creates jobs and promotes Canada’s long term prosperity, our Conservative Government is working to eliminate the backlog in the main federal economic immigration program. As announced in Economic Action Plan 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is planning to refund fees and return stale applications from nearly all those applicants who applied under the dated criteria in existence before February 27, 2008. CIC is transforming its suite of economic immigration programs to create a just-in-time system that recruits people with the right skills to meet Canada’s labour market needs, fast tracks their immigration, and gets them working in a period of months, not years. Eliminating the longstanding backlog of skilled worker applications will allow the Department to focus resources on facilitating the arrival of skilled immigrants who apply under the current eligibility criteria. Under proposed legislation, CIC will close the files of applicants under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) who applied before February 27, 2008, and for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012. This is expected to affect around 280,000 applicants, including their dependants. CIC will begin the process of returning the full amount of fees paid to the Department by these affected applicants. For those who have passed the selection criteria stage – approximately 20,000 people – CIC will continue processing their applications until they are approved for entry into
Canada or not. Over the last decade, the number of skilled worker applications received has greatly exceeded the space available within the Immigration Levels Plan each year, resulting in long processing times and an increasing inventory. Under the 2008 Action Plan for Faster Immigration, CIC began to limit intake to priority occupations. The Department added caps to the number of new applications in 2010. As a result of these efforts, CIC has reduced the pre-2008 backlog by more than 50 percent. However, without further action, some FSWP applicants might have to wait until 2017 for a decision. That is simply too long of a wait. Other important improvements to the system were included

RECOGNIZING LONG SERVICE
Informing Constituents
MP Dean Allison in the recently passed Bill C-31, the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act. Measures in the legislation will allow for quicker deportation of bogus refugees applicants and will also crack down on human-smugglers and illegal arrivals. Improvements to the immigration system will not only benefit legitimate applicants, but our Canadian economy as well.
