Large construction projects complete in downtown

Operating since 1969,the independent car store will soon relocate to a brand new 10,000 square foot facility at 219 Brock Road North.

Five times the size of their current location,the space has an indoor and outdoor showroom with room for up to 200 used late model cars.Ten service bays with drive through service will provide customers with express lube,two- and four-wheel alignment,detailing,maintenance and repair.

Aqua Pavers will cover most of the outdoor parking display area.The permeable interlocking surface supports storm water management by allowing for natural drainage and a natural filtration process,removing pollutants from the runoff.

Continuing with the green approach,a 30-foot outdoor display unit will reduce heat penetration through the side of the building,therefore reducing the interior heating and cooling uses.

“We are committed to being here for the next 25 years or more,and with this new facility we are looking forward to doubling our personnel while offering our customers a unique shopping experience.”says Robert Milburn,Owner of Milburn Auto Sales.

Watch for the new location to open by February of 2012. For more information,and up to the minute lowest gas prices in town, visit www.milburnautosales.com.

Downtown merchants and property owners recently gathered with downtown board members, council members and city officials, at the Downtown Guelph Business Association 38th annual general meeting.

Attending the event, Mayor Karen Farbridge spoke of the many capital projects taking place in the core.“This has been a year of the most ambitious and complex series of projects this City has ever undertaken,” said Farbridge.“It’s been a dramatic and transformational year for downtown.

While it has not been easy for many merchants, the projects are coming to an end and I can now see it all coming together.”

Included in the projects, major road construction to Carden St. was completed in the late summer and Market Square in front of City Hall, with its outdoor rink and heated pavilion is to be opening in early January.

Also on Carden St., from Wyndham St. to Macdonell St., work continues on the new inter-modal transit terminal, designed to improve connections between Guelph’s local bus service and regional

public transit systems including Greyhound, GO Transit and VIA Rail.

Due to open in the spring, commuters will be able to use the GO train service from Guelph to Toronto for the expected cost of $11.70 for a one-way ticket.

Come January, visitors can experience the new Guelph Civic Museum with an official Grand Opening Weekend celebration on Feb 24 to 26. The $12.7 million adaptive reuse project has transformed Loretto Convent, built between 1850 and 1890, into a space that will host a variety of events and exhibits throughout the year and house a collection of approximately 30,000 items.

“We are working to create vibrant urban spaces that will attract people and employers; where all people can flourish,” adds Farbridge.“Our path forward will create a downtown that is even more vibrant in 20 years than it is today, while preserving Guelph’s character as we grow.”

Guelph’s Downtown Secondary Plan has growth targets of an additional 6,000 residents and 1,500 jobs in the downtown core over the next 20 years. With a proposed

500,000 square feet of office and institutional space, and 300,000 square feet of retail space. Many of these developments are projected for within the historical core, with approximately 80% of the growth just south of the railway tracks.

Last year, Tricar Group purchased the high-end condominium tower located in the former Co-operators building on Macdonell St. The 18 level high-rise with 15 floors of residential space, expects to bring approximately 150 residential units to the core; plus lower level parking, commercial and retail space.

The top three floors of the Douglas St. Gummer building will bring up to 20 openconcept apartments to the downtown. With an approximate completion date of Sept.

2012, the building will also have available office space and street-level retail space.

The Community Improvement Plan has assisted many property owners in renovating their buildings to create more usable spaces, as well as update facades. With all the new projects being completed, new renovations to existing properties, new jobs

and new property owners, now more than ever it is a great time to visit downtown Guelph.

“There have been challenges and there are many more issues to work through, but there are many positive signs that we are moving in the right direction,” says Marty Williams,Executive Director for the Downtown Guelph Business Association.

“New stores have opened, new investments have been made; businesses and people are choosing downtown Guelph. In our shortterm plan we are working to find new ways to promote what we already have through different marketing initiatives. One step is creating more direct connections between merchant members and the various events that take place downtown.”

“We are working to promote development that brings more businesses and more residents to downtown Guelph,” adds Williams.“We need to work creatively with all stakeholders to make sure that we have development that we can be proud of, and which encourages more people to live, work, and invest in the heart of our city."

Accidents do happen On a trip to visit my relatives in France, my husband fell and broke his wrist. It was a serious brake, which required surgery, pins and a two-day hospital stay.

Being in the insurance business I made sure I had my Group Travel Insurance card. As soon as the accident happened I called the number on the back of my card and was directed to a local hospital.

Most Group Travel Insurance is made up of two components. The Out-OfCountry coverage pays for things like physician fees, lab fees and hospital fees.

post retirement plan needs to ensure that you are prepared for health events that could cause financial setbacks that would significantly deplete your resources or cause a loss of financial independence. Be it costs related directly to medication or possibly the expense of requiring long term care, there are a number of insurance products available to protect you from the impact of these events.

The days when a person could count on a company pension and possibly government pension programs to see them through the golden years are gone. Having sufficient retirement income has become the responsibility of the individual. Thus it is critical to establish a proper financial plan well before you retire. Given the continued volatility in both the global economy and the equity markets here at home it is even more important to take steps to protect the assets you have accumulated to preserve not only your current lifestyle but also the quality of your retirement. Simply put–expect the unexpected-events that we can’t control such as family emergencies, changes in pension tax legislation, inflation and health setbacks will all have an

Don’t forget to pack your travel insurance papers, along with emergency help number, including your family doctor’s contact information.

If you are travelling outside of Canada or the U.S know how to dial an international operator. Canada’s country code is 00.

Bring your Travel Assistance Card, which can be printed from the employee portal of most insurance company’s websites.

Pack enough maintenance medication for your entire trip.

• Consider talking to your doctor to address any concerns about travelling with a medical condition.

Most Group Travel Insurance plans do not include coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption or loss or damage of baggage. Employees may want to consider purchasing extra coverage from another source. A little preparation goes a long way.

Guelph church receives $1,000 grant to upgrade lights in chapel Thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Small Business Lighting program offered by Guelph Hydro Electric Systems Inc. and funded by the Ontario Power Authority, St. George’s Anglican Church in Guelph recently upgraded the lighting system in one of its chapels–for free.

St. George’s is one of the oldest churches in Guelph. It dates back to 1873 and its English Gothic architecture boasts grand vaulted ceilings and beautiful stained-glass windows. It’s a hub of activity in the community, hosting worshippers and community groups every day of the week.

Much of the church’s operating systems, including lighting, are old and inefficient, dating back to the 1950s and 60s. The average monthly hydro bill for the church is $750. Church staff and volunteers do as much as they can to conserve energy and use as much of the natural light provided by building’s windows as possible, but it’s often not enough light for the many groups that use its community rooms.

The church has been working hard to upgrade its lighting to more energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) where possible but in some of the older parts of the church CFLs aren’t an option because the fixtures themselves are so old they can’t accommodate the newer technology. So, when the church heard about the Small Business Lighting Program, they immediately signed up.

The Small Business Lighting Program, offered through local electricity distribution companies like Guelph Hydro and funded by the Ontario Power Authority, provides small businesses with a

free, no-obligation assessment of their energy use and up to $1,000 to apply against the cost of an energy-efficient lighting retrofit. All equipment and labour is included and participants may choose to proceed with all or just some of the project. There may be additional incentives available for larger retrofits.

An energy efficiency audit of the church revealed they could upgrade the lighting system of an entire chapel and replace old, inefficient 34-watt fluorescent bulbs and PCB-filled magnetic ballasts with T5 25-watt bulbs. It took roughly one week to rewire the chapel and install all the lighting. The result is a savings of 525 kWh and $52.26 each year, at absolutely no cost to the church.

“The Small Business Lighting Program made it possible for us to get this work done,” says Ron Leonard, the verger at St. George’s.“There’s a lot of cost involved in maintaining a church of this size and age so we have to do everything gradually. We appreciate all the help we can get.”

To date, more than 1,200 small businesses in Guelph have benefited from the Small Business Lighting Program.

Local businesses with an electricity demand of less than 50 kilowatts who are interested in upgrading their own lighting systems are encouraged to contact Guelph Hydro for direction on how to proceed. Bulk and sub-metered customers may also apply.

For more information, please visit www.saveonenergy.ca or contact Mark Britton at Guelph Hydro Electric Systems Inc. at 519-822-1750 (ext. 2240) or mbritton@guelphhydro.com.

Her runs deep on another front as well. Fran’s nursing certificates, school notebooks, texteldest daughter Jackie was born at St. Joseph’s books, cap and hypodermic needle kit have on December 25, 1972–the second to last been carefully preserved and are on display as baby in St. Joe’s maternity ward before it part of the celebrations to mark St. Joseph’s closed that year. And yes, Betty Ewing was at 150th anniversary.

Fran Walser and her mother, the late Elizabeth (Betty) Ewing nursed for close to 75 of the past 150 years–most of that time at St. Joseph’s caring for generations of patients and residents, passing on a legacy of care from one generation of caregiver to another.

Walser, who started at St. Joseph’s in 1977, is still a fixture in the Centre’s long-term care department–a help and comfort to the residents under her care and an invaluable

Lived it and loved it

A dedicated nurse

Between the two generations Fran Walser and her mother, the late Elizabeth Ewing have been nursing for close to 75 of the past 150 years, most of them at St. Joseph’s. “She lived it and she loved it,” says Walser of her mother’s outstanding commitment to nursing and to St. Joseph’s mission.

Fran Walser (top left) shown here with resident Thelma Anderson. “Fran is an exceptional person,” says Anderson. “She listens and then tries everything possible to remedy whatever problem you’re experiencing. If she says she’ll do something, she does it.”

St. Joseph’s – A story of growth, commitment and service 1877 A $4,400 addition to the hospital was made to the twostorey limestone, 40-bed St. Joseph’s built by the Sisters in 1. The new building increased the bed count to 77.

1861 On November 22, 1861 three Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton – Sister Alphonsus Cashen and Sister Ignatius Pigott – arrived in the Royal city to found Guelph’s first hospital and home for the sick, aged and infirm.

1888

The Hussey Farm House along with 25 acres of land was donated to the Sisters. It offered 16 beds to accommodate the sick and the poor.

In appreciation for the help he received from the sisters, a pedlar planted a silver maple in front of St. Joseph’s.

1887 The first telephone was installed. Our phone number was 114.

When Guelph experienced a deadly diphtheria epidemic, the Sisters care for more than100 patients, losing only 13 to the dreaded disease.

It cost 49 cents a day to care for one person.

St. Joseph’s 1861 - 2011

A proud heritage, an inspired

1895

1940

A new buff coloured brick building, completed for $38,027.74 opened in October.

The older buildings, built in 1862 and 1877, were renovated and then used as the House of Providence.

Operating costs in the 1940s continued to rise and both city hospitals had to raise their daily rates, though they remained lower than most hospitals in Ontario. Still, patients could enjoy a private room for $5 a day and newborns were cared for in the nurseries for $1 a day.

1899 St. Joseph’s opened its own training school for nurses. In 1902, nine Sisters were the first graduates. In 1904 lay nurses began enrolling. Six subjects, taught by six doctors, were on the curriculum.

1946 In 1946, Canada’s Baby Boom began and continued until 1964 resulting in about 18% (about 1.5 million) more births than would otherwise have occurred. To accommodate the new mothers and infants, the student nurses’ rooms were turned over to patients but it soon became clear that Guelph needed more maternity resources. So, St. Joseph’s undertook another expansion.

1925 Two wings were added to the 1895 building at a cost of $130,000. The 104-bed hospital had private toilets, call buttons, telephone receptacles and a sunroom facing south at the end of each floor.

1914 Canada, as a loyal member of the British Empire, went to war in Europe. 64,944 Canadians were lost.

1951

1936 For many years, the Sisters operated a farm which supplied many of their needs as well as those of the patients. Cows and chickens provided milk and eggs while the gardens produced enough potatoes, parsnips, onions, turnips, and carrots to last throughout the winter. On one memorable occasion the Sisters undertook to raise ducks and geese but the birds made so much noise they disturbed the patients so that, in the end, the project had to be abandoned. The farm was discontinued after the war when hired help was hard to find and the surrounding area became more residential. Gardens, however, continue to play an essential role in St. Joseph’s recreation and therapeutic programming.

A five-storey addition built on the north-east corner of the existing building, facing Westmount Road, opened. The new addition offered a third floor obstetrical department that boasted two labour rooms and two care rooms. Each infant had its own cubicle with piped-in oxygen. Two special nurseries were constructed – one for premature babies and the other for ‘suspect babies’ isolated for special care. Fathers, who in those days did not participate in the birthing process, had a special waiting room on the floor.

1955 Canadian children participated in trials to test the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine against polio. This iron lung was used to help regulate the breathing of young patients in Guelph whose respiratory muscles were attacked by the polio virus.

St. Joseph’s 1861 - 2011

1959

2006

Residents of the House of Providence moved into a new building, St. Joseph’s Home, facing Edinburgh Road. A second wing was set aside for the chronically ill. The spacious new residence included a craft room, barber shop and library.

To improve the efficient use of hospital resources through better economies of scale, all short-term and long-term rehabilitation care in Guelph transferred from Guelph General Hospital to St. Joseph’s rehabilitation hospital department.

1984

1974

A new logo and theme, designed to represent the recent amalgamation of the Hospital and Home, were introduced.

After 75 years of operation, the last class graduated from St. Joseph’s School of Nursing.

Nursing schools in the province then came under the jurisdiction of community colleges.

1991 - 1992

2009

To better utilize highly trained staff and improve patient outcomes, St. Joseph’s turned its focus to elective surgical care.

1991 also saw the formation of St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation. In 1992, Ontario’s Ministry of Health confirmed St. Joseph’s future to rebuild as a long-term care centre of excellence.

St. Joseph’s expanded again to meet growing community needs when excavation began on another new addition. St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation launched St. Joseph’s: The Next Generation Capital Campaign to raise $6 million to help fund the 96 new longterm care beds and to construct a new Community Outreach Adult Day Program Centre, a new auditorium and a new rehabilitation garden which will be the first of its kind in Canada.

2000 In January, excavation began on a new 254-bed long-term care centre and a year later St. Joseph’s Hospital and Home changed its name to St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph.

2002 At the end of October our residents and patients left their old home and moved next door to their new home at 100 Westmount Road. .

1997 The Edinburgh Road lobby was completely renovated and a new therapeutic garden for the residents to enjoy was opened.

The cost of caring for one person for one day was $530.

2010

2011 and beyond

In November, St. Joseph’s officially opened its North Wing and it welcomed its first of 96 new residents. And on November 22 the sod was turned on a new 80-unit affordable housing project under the auspices of St. Joseph’s Housing Corporation.

On September 7, the 150 year old silver maple tree, planted in 1861 was felled and a new silver maple was planted. As the tree symbolizes, St. Joseph’s mission is a living, growing entity – rooted in our history, changing as our community needs it to change. And St. Joseph’s will continue to serve where and how Guelph/Wellington needs us to serve – as a hospital, a home, a resource and a partner – today, tomorrow, together.

Thank You to All Who Gave–September 2010 to August 2011

Commitment to care and to St. Joseph’s run deep work that day too–three generations marking an important milestone together on a Christmas day almost 30 years ago–a milestone both for their family and for the institution that had played and continued to play such an important part in their lives.

Today St. Joseph’s has a new mandate, in a different environment. Acute care is now the purview of Guelph General while St. Joseph’s continues on as Guelph’s only specialty hospital providing complex continuing care and rehabilitative care. In addition, St. Joseph’s remains Guelph’s first choice for long-term care and is home to Guelph’s only independence supporting adult day programs for seniors and for survivors of acquired brain injuries.

St. Joseph’s continues to grow and change with and for Guelph/Wellington filling in gaps in services and playing a vital part of a network of health care services that work in a symbiotic

– Continued from page 1

relationship to increase the effectiveness of the care patients and residents can expect and working together to maximize the use of health care resources.

St. Joseph’s mission connects today’s staff, physicians, volunteers and donors to those who came before–the founders and builders, the pioneers and innovators, the visionaries and those on the front-line who all contributed to making today’s accomplishments possible and yesterday’s dreams a reality.

St. Joseph’s is proud of the relationship it has with Guelph/Wellington and its people.

Thousands were born within its walls, many more were helped and healed, and thousands made St. Joseph’s their last home.

150 years. One generation to another. Still growing. Still serving.

Do you have realistic expectations? There are coping mechanisms you can try.Try not to do it all.Delegate some of your responsibilities.Do not give in to all requests and learn to say “no”with confidence.

Whether we like it or not,certain times of year present more challenges and stress than others.Does“holiday stress”ring a bell? Well,here we go again.I think our best defense at this time of year is preparation.This includes understanding what influences stress levels during the holidays and identifying ways to cope.

Do you know what your triggers are? Holiday celebrations mean pressure for most of us.No matter how hard we try to enjoy the season,with so much to do and not enough time, some of us can get caught up in the chaos of the season.

There are ways to have a simpler holiday,with fewer hassles.

Avoid unrealistic expectations,extra demands,taking on too many responsibilities,and beware of taking on financial

With our evolving Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs our students are able to explore different pathways with a combination of in-school courses, experiential learning, and co-op placements in business settings.

Ontario Catholic high schools are open-access; students do not need to be Roman Catholic to enroll.All are welcome!

Currently, the construction renovation and home-build programs are on-going. Corporate business partners Reid Heritage Homes, Tambro Construction and Barzotti Woodworking Ltd. provide support with site supervisors and project management.As a result of this partnership, students are able to arrange apprenticeships or secure fulltime employment in the industry after graduation.

Our Information Communication Technology (ICT) SHSM has been launched this year. Through BM Media House, our on-site graphic design and print production classroom, students enrolled in this program receive hands-on experience. Real client demands become real-life projects for students who have the opportunity to develop marketable skills in graphic design and promotion.

Similarly, the ICT program allows students the flexibility to take courses in media arts, computer programming and engineering. Bishop Macdonell designs brands for local organizations like Guelph Minor Soccer and is actively looking for other corporate partners like M&T Printing Group, who currently supports the ICT program by providing real world projects and offering insight into this exciting field through excursions and seminars for students.

The innovative programming behind BM Media House has been part of business education at Bishop Macdonell for years. Entrepreneurial business experiences are available for students as well through the business club.An example is the Dragon’s Den Conference, where local high schools students developed and pitched product and business plans to six managers from TD Canada Trust, the conference corporate sponsor.

Bishop Macdonell’s third SHSM program is currently under-development with a tentative launch date of September 2012. Students will have the opportunity to

SHSM programs like Construction, ICT, and Notfor-Profit augment the business education that is available at Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School. Corporate business partners are essential for the on-going support and development of these educational initiatives.
