News - Extending light rail to Orléans, Bayshore and Bowesville by 2023 is the fu-ture of transportation in Ot-tawa, says Mayor Jim Watson.

In a speech outlining the transit portion of the new trans-portation master plan, Watson said extending rail to each end of the city with 35 kilometres of new rail and 19 new stations will cost $2.5 billion.

The extensions will get done in tandem, much earlier than the city’s original projection of 2031 and will help all areas of the city capitalize on the ben-efits of the Confederation Line downtown, Watson said.

“We could go slowly and build each segment of the net-work over a protracted period of time, suffering wasteful and disruptive conversions along the way,” he said.

“Or we can move ahead and use public transit to help define how we grow.”

Funding from the federal and provincial governments will be needed, the mayor said. Having a clear plan that out-

lines the cost-sharing needed will ensure success, Watson said.

The draft plan will be con-sidered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15.

Council has the final say on Nov. 26.

EAST

The big winner in the mayor’s LRT announcement was Orléans, which will get four new stations: St. Joseph, Jeanne D’Arc, Orléans Drive, and Place d’ Orléans.

When completed by 2023, the 90 per cent of Orléans resi-dents will live within five kilo-metres of the rapid-transit line, Watson said.

“We want to work with the Government of Canada to lo-cate jobs in the east and to at-tract employers there to sup-port balanced growth,” Watson said.

“Bringing the benefits of light rail east to Place d’Orléans will make that difference.”

News - Orléans came out on the win-ning side of a hard-fought battle to bring light rail to the east end.

Instead of a planned busway, a light-rail extension will be built to Place D’Orléans by 2023, Mayor Jim Watson revealed in the city’s new draft transpor-tation master plan on Oct. 9. See the full story on light rail on page 1.

Aside from the flashy announcement of $3 billion in rail extensions to the east, south and west ends of Ottawa, the city released its $1-billion draft vision for upgrades and modifications to road, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

These project would be built in three phases over a long period of time – up to 2031. As a result of the Transitway to Orléans being converted to rail, bus lanes on highway 174 will likely be converted to vehicle lanes, said Cum-berland Coun. Stephen Blais.

Top position changing hands in Orléans cadet corpsBrier [email protected]

News - The ceremonial pacestick changed hands on Oct. 9 at the Orléans branch of the Royal Canadian Le-gion.

Chief warrant officer Cory Wyne handed over the wood-en stick on his last day as a cadet. He turned 19 over the Thanksgiving weekend, offi-cially too old to be a cadet.

Taking over will be mas-ter warrant officer Zachary

Hazledine. If cadets were hockey,

Wyne is the outgoing Alfreds-son – minus the controversy and millions of dollars – and Hazledine is the incoming Spezza, the team captain.

The job means the cadet is in command, responsible for the cadet corps and meeting with Tim McKee, command-ing officer of the 3018 Army Cadets.

So it was Wyne’s job to meet with McKee, discuss training and making plans for

the cadets, and then handle the 100-plus youths in the program.

“I’m responsible for the well-being, especially men-tally and emotionally, of my immediate subordinates and beyond, as well as making sure the corps resemble the vision of my commanding of-ficer,” Wyne said.

McKee is the one in charge, and who handles all the administrative tasks, but the details – like making sure the cadets are in proper dress

– fell to Wyne. “Cory’s made a huge im-

pact on this cadet corps,” McKee told the cadets dur-ing the official parade cer-emony. “There have been a lot of changes since he’s been here.”

Wyne originally got the job over three other cadets, all of whom were the same rank, and split the job for about six months before he won out.

While he was a part of the 3018 Army Cadets for the past two years, he spent five years in cadets in British Co-lumbia prior to that, moving around because his father is in the military.

He attended Cairine Wilson Secondary School, and now attends Carleton University where he studies political sci-ence. Wyne said he intends to apply to the primary reserves, continuing his military in-volvement.

He said through cadets, he’s “met everyone from everwhere,” and had a chance to learn advanced training skills.

Last winter, he was part of a group that went on a nine-day expedition to James Bay, and has participated in a long list of activities, like orienteering and winter survival.

Wyne said he got a lot of good feedback from the ca-dets that he would be missed, and he hopes he’s made a good impression on other 170 cadets in the combined Orlé-ans and Ashbury group.

His replacement will have a greater challenege, based out of the smaller Ashbury group, but responsible for both.

“He realizes he’s got a bit of a tougher job,” McKee said to the cadets.

McKee also told the cadets

during the ceremony that they won the Strathcona Plaque for the fourth consecutive year. The plaque is awarded to the top cadet group in eastern Ontario every year. “Of the top 26 units, we’re the top dogs again,” McKee told the cadets. “That’s pretty huge.”

Cadets is a program that runs out of the Orléans branch of the Royal Canadian Legion free of charge on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 9 p.m.

“We’ve always said we needed it sooner than later,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he had a suspicion that rail to Orléans would be part of the announcement, given the hoopla the mayor made over the speech.

“He doesn’t give big speeches very often and he’s often been criticized for not having a lot of vision and I think today has really changed that,” Blais said.

“We have a three-pronged approach: more people work-ing in Orléans, a wider high-way and a train,” Blais said. “Commute times are going to go down.”

Rail will be a “game chang-er” for because it will provide a convenient way for people to get to Orléans and therefore encourage the development of unused employment lands along the 174 corridor.

Blais and Monette are con-vinced the train will not only make it easier for commuters to head downtown, but also for people in the core and west end to come east to Orléans.

Extending light rail to Or-léans is expected to cost $500 million.

The announcement is a double win for the east end because it means bus Tran-sitway lanes on Ottawa Road 174 will be freed up and like-ly converted as new lanes for traffic, Blais said. The mayor said a study will consider con-verting those lanes for use by carpoolers.

WEST

Light rail will be extended as far west as the expanded Bayshore Shopping Cen-tre, with a southwest spur to Baseline Station and Algon-quin College.

From Lincoln Fields, the line will split off towards Bayshore south of Woodroffe High School. The Connaught tunnel will be expanded past the existing Pinecrest bus garage and then skirt the Ro-man Avenue area to run on the city’s right-of-way north of the Queensway before stopping at a new Queensview Station. The Bayshore rail extension would cost $400 million.

A new pedestrian bridge

over Highway 417 will con-nect the Pinecrest Shopping Centre and Ikea to light rail. The line will continue with another stop west of Pinecrest before ending at Bayshore.

Transit past Bayshore will continue with a new bus Tran-sitway extension from March Road to Terry Fox Drive.

“It means that people in Kanata will no longer be in mixed traffic on the Queen-sway at that location, which will make the travel a lot bet-ter,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“There has been no good transit to the west, which is why there are fewer people using it.”

While rail is coming all the

way to Orléans, Kanata will get dedicated busways first instead of LRT.

Wilkinson said she would have preferred to see rail ex-tended east and west inside the Greenbelt first before decid-ing which direction to cross over the Greenbelt – probably a decade from now.

The plan also includes a southwest rail extension from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline at a cost of $980 million.

Connecting the college to the city’s other post-secondary institutions that are already on the light rail line – the Univer-sity of Ottawa, Carleton Uni-versity and La Cité collégiale

– will create “an education powerhouse in the capital,”

Watson said.

SOUTH

The city’s south end will get a rail extension of a differ-ent kind. The city is looking to build a $100 million extension of the O-Train line to Bowes-ville.

The expansion will include five new stations at Gladstone, Walkley, South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville with park-and-ride lots at the south end of the system to make it acces-sible to Riverside South com-muters and residents from the rural area. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desro-ches said the extension moves south-end communities for-

ward after the cancellation of the city’s previous north-south light rail plan under the previ-ous council.

Converting the heavy rail of the O-Train line to light rail to match the rest of the system could be considered in the fu-ture, Desroches said.

A rail spur to the airport was deemed too costly and of less benefit than providing light-rail transit to commuters, but the city does plan to expand the Airport Parkway to add carpool and taxi lanes from Brookfield to Hunt Club.

The expanded transit sys-tem would also come with a price tag of $500 million for new trains and expanded stor-age facilities.

Rail promises to be a game changer for Orléans: Blais

East-west network of bicycle lanes planned for OrléansContinued from page 1

There is one new road planned for the east end: the extension of Brian Coburn Boulevard.

The two-lane road, which the city has already approved, will be built between Navan and Mer Bleue roads before 2019. It will cost $22.5 mil-lion and will eventually be a four-lane road.

It will be connected at Na-van Road with a four-lane extension of the Blackburn

Hamlet Bypass, creating a ring road south of Innes. Orlé-ans Boulevard will get a small extension south to a new park-and-ride serving Chapel Hill, and the section of Navan Road between Orléans Boulevard and the bypass will eventually be converted into cul-de-sacs to make it a neighbourhood street.

There are a handful of roads slated for widening in the east end.

• Mer Bleue Road will be widened from two to four

lanes between Brian Coburn and Renaud Road for $2.2 million.

• Tenth Line Road will be widened from two to four lanes between Harvest Val-ley and Wall roads in a later phase of the plan.

• Blair Road will widen from two to four lanes be-tween Innes and Meadow-brook roads.

• In the longer term, Coven-try Road will widen from two to four lanes between Belfast Road and the St. Laurent Cen-

tre.• Tremblay Road will be

widened from two to four lanes starting at Pickering Place in order to accommo-date new employment land at Tremblay Road and St. Lau-rent Boulevard, and to address the needs in the new transit-oriented development plan for the St. Laurent station.

Only road expansions or extensions are included in the master plan – not reconstruc-tion of existing roads.

CYCLING

An east-west network of bicycle lanes is planned for Orléans, which will connect pathways near Gerald Pou-lin Park east on Meadowglen Drive and Viseneau Drive to Des Epinettes Avenue. It continues east of the Bilberry Creek system to Gardenway Drive and continues to Valin Drive, almost where it meets Innes Road.

A missing link on the Shefford Road pathway con-necting Montreal Road to the Ottawa River Pathway is also planned, as well as a recreational pathway connec-tion to Cyrville Road on the Prescott-Russell Trail.

The network is one of the projects included in $70 mil-lion worth of work to boost cycling infrastructure on its own. Other upgrades will be done as part of road recon-structions.

Types of cycling improve-ments include:

• City bikeways: long, contiguous routes for com-muting. In the city’s east end, that includes a multi-use path along Tenth Line Road from St. Joseph Boulevard to Innes Road.

• Neighbourhood bike-ways: routes like the east-west Orléans bike lanes that connect residential areas to local schools, recreation fa-cilities and shopping centres that serve them.

• Node links: suburban cy-cling routes that serve large employment centres or edu-cational institutions.

• Transit links: Routes that connect residential ar-eas – mostly in the suburbs – to transit stations that are within a seven- to 15-min-ute bike ride. For instance, a multi-use pathway is planned to connect St. Laurent Sta-tion to the Aviation Parkway. Bike lanes will also be added to Blair Road from Ogilvie

to Meadowbrook for Blair Station.

PEDESTRIAN

In addition to the pedestri-an-cycling bridges, the plan contains a number of expan-sions or extensions for side-walks and pathways.

• The entire stretch of Sun-view Drive will get sidewalks, as well Prestwick Drive and part of Gardenway Drive.

• A pedestrian connection on either side of Tremblay Road, from Highway 417 to Belfast on the other side, is also planned.

Pedestrian projects across the city account for $26 mil-lion over the course of the plan.

INFO SESSION

The draft plan will be con-sidered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Coun-cil has the final say on Nov. 26.

The public information ses-sion in Orléans will take place on Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, 1490 Youville Dr.

News - A new affordable housing complex in Ottawa’s east end has made 28 families very comfortable.

City officials and Ottawa Community Housing staff opened the 28-unit Carson Grove community townhomes complex on Oct. 7.

The project is an expansion to the Carson’s Road Ottawa Community Housing neigh-bourhood, where there are al-ready 91 two-, three- and four-bedroom townhomes.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark attended the open-ing and was excited the proj-ect is completed.

“These new homes mean a lot to the community,” Clark said, “especially to the fami-lies. This development here is going to make a difference.”

The $4-million project fo-cused on larger, family-sized units includes four, four-bed-room units that are barrier-free and wheelchair accessible.

Tammy Haskell and her 23-month-old twin boys, who are moving into one of the new units, said her family was on the city’s housing waiting list for five months. She said she loves the fact that her boys have the space to move around and play like children should.

“This is great,” Haskell said. “It’s a relief to know we live here and the best thing is that I know I have space for my kids.”

When it comes to afford-

able housing in the city, Clark said he is amazed at the con-stant rise in housing costs and added he wonders how young families manage.

“Inflation has made hous-ing unaffordable for a lot of people and we are trying to rectify that,” he said.

According to the city, ap-proximately 140,000 house-holds in Ottawa are on low or fixed incomes and for larger families there is a limited supply of affordable housing available.

Mayor Jim Watson said this development is part of the city’s $14 million housing and homelessness investment plan

approved in 2011.

“The city made an unprec-edented commitment to ad-dress affordable housing in our community by providing new funding dedicated to fighting homelessness and poverty,” Watson said. “This project is one example of the work be-ing done across our city,”

Haskell said she was happy when she found out she was getting placed in the town-home.

“I can understand when people start to get impatient, thinking you won’t ever get housing,” Haskell said. “But you just have to hold on and be patient. For me, it’s the best thing that has happened in a long time.”

News - St. Joseph Boulevard closed down suddenly on Oct. 7 after a sinkhole opened just after 11:30 a.m.

The sinkhole opened near Gabriel Street and was caused by a break in the water main underneath the road.

Workers immediately started work to get hoses into the hole to drain the water inside as traffic was routed around the closed portion of the road.

It was raining heavily but it didn’t stop workers from Ser-vice Ontario and other busi-nesses from standing outside with umbrellas to get an up close look at the hole, which

was several metres long and wide.

It took significantly less time to fix than the last sinkhole in Orléans, on highway 174. This time, the road was opened the next day, on Oct. 8, in the af-ternoon.

It was right in front of the Orléans ambulance bay, but Ottawa paramedics said they

had an alternate exit, so there wasn’t an impact.

It did give the infamous @174Sinkhole Twitter account a chance to become active again.

“The sinkhole on St. Joseph Blvd. in Orléans is further evi-dence that Orléans is a Holy-y Land,” the anonymous account tweeted.

Second time around: sinkhole opens on St. Joseph

Workers surround a sinkhole that opened up on St. Joseph Boulevard, near Place d’Orléans, on Oct. 7. They begin to drain it about an hour after it opened up. The road was reopened later the next day.

Out along the airport parkway this … Thing hangs over the road. It is a well publicized Thing and so much has been written and spo-

ken about it that people can almost fi gure out what it is. It’s sort of an overpass, bridge kind of Thing, with a kind of tower arrangement at one end. It’s about half built, maybe a bit less than that.

At one point it was imagined that people would use the Thing to get from Hunt Club Road to South Keys, and vice versa. Now no-body knows what to do with it. Construction companies and engineering fi rms have come and gone since the building of the Thing began. There have been third-party reviews, whatever they are.

Meanwhile, the Thing sits there and no work is being done on it.

Understandably, people are wondering what should be done. They could rip it down. Or they could start from scratch. Or they could get another review.

But none of those things would be right. Here is what should be done about the Thing beside the airport parkway: nothing. Let it sit there as a reminder of what kind of city we have here, a monument, as it were, to the decision-making process.

About 25 years ago, when the fi rst of sev-eral new airports was being constructed just down the road from the uncompleted Thing, there was a period of slight chaos in which deplaning passengers had to walk across the tarmac and dodge their way around various bits of construction on their way into the half-completed terminal building. Arriving at the terminal, they were greeted by a sign.

“Welcome to Ottawa,” it said. “Sorry for the inconvenience.”

What could have been a more perfect introduction to our city? Sadly, the terminal was completed, eventually to be replaced by another still grander one, and the sign disap-peared. A good guess is that Public Works has it, in the certainty that it will be neces-sary again.

Too bad about the sign, but now we have the uncompleted Thing hanging over the road to stand as a symbolic welcome to the kind of town we are.

And what kind of town is that? It is the kind of town where people can’t make up their minds. Should they keep on building it or tear it down. Or should they think about it some more. Or maybe get another third-party review. Maybe even a fourth-party review.

There may not be such a thing as a fourth-party review, but if it does exist this would be the place to fi nd it.

You might fi nd it at LeBreton Flats, a multi-acre monument to indecision.

Of course, Ottawa is more than a town in which people can’t make up their minds. It is also a town in which somebody else changes your mind for you once you’ve made it up.

Take, for example, another parkway, the one that used to be called the Western Parkway and is now named after Sir John A. The city government made up its mind that light rail would go nicely along the western section of the parkway.

That was fi ne until the National Capital Commission unmade up the city’s mind. So now light rail will twist and turn and go

through neighbourhoods and into tunnels, all because there were too many minds to make up.

There should be a monument to this sort of thing, because it is truly unique to us. The place to build the monument is right beside the Sir John A. parkway.

And the thing to build is a statue of a light rail train, the only one ever to use the parkway. Wouldn’t that be perfect? Mind you, it would only be appropriate if it was half-fi nished.

Can we get started on it right away? Or, as soon as it has been properly studied.

Editorial Policy

The perfect monument for a half-built city

New plan has rail on right track

COLUMN

Following the release of a draft Transporta-tion Master Plan, councillors and staff at city hall should be applauded for presenting an ambitious vision for Ottawa’s public transit

future.While the document also offers prescriptions for

things such as pedestrian, cycling and motor vehicle mobility, it is the plans to bring rail transit to the east, west and south of the city eight years ahead of the schedule that is cause for excitement.

The project will, according to the draft document, be constructed at a cost of roughly $2.5 billion, and for the most part will help address many of the traffi c issues plaguing the city currently.

By taking light rail east to Orléans, the large com-muter base there will have an effi cient, compelling alternative to joining the line ups on highway 174 each day. By reaching south, the extension of the O-Train line will make amends for older, scrapped plans to extend rail to the burgeoning community of Riverside South and beyond. To the west, the major west-end shopping nodes and the Algonquin College campus will be tied into the Confederation Line, on which tunnelling began last week.

All in all, it is much more than many might have expected after the last light rail saga. That doesn’t

mean, however, that there aren’t a few question marks about the plans, perhaps things that might be addressed before the fi nal plan is brought before council.

First, and most glaring, is why rail isn’t going west to Kanata. Kanata, like Orléans, has a signifi cant community of people who commute downtown. Unlike Orléans, Kanata also has a signifi cant em-ployment base, meaning while some hop on a bus to go downtown, others are heading to Kanata for work each day. That means buses are full in both direc-tions, as trains would be, if city hall saw fi t.

A link to the airport is also a glaring omission. As the city’s largest transportation hub, it only makes sense to link it to the rest of the transportation net-work. The offi cial response is it’s not worth the added expense, but this may appear short sighted as the city grows in the years ahead.

Another is the dependence on funding from other levels of government. Hopefully when the time comes this is not a problem, but the hoping for the best from Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park is not necessarily the most fi rm foundation for any plan.

The city should hope other levels of govern-ment don’t derail what is otherwise a good plan for Ottawa’s transit future.

Death, resurrection of the modern church

This week, I interviewed Rev. Paul Donison, the rector of a downtown church who is on a mission

– literally. Donison is in Kenya, along with

1200 Anglican Church leaders from across the globe. They’re gather-ing to talk about the future of the church.

It’s an issue fraught with uncer-tainty, particularly in Canada. Every year, hundreds of churches across the country – both Protestant and Roman Catholic – are padlocking their doors.

A Canadian Press story a few years ago noted that some rural churches were so desperate to offl oad the buildings and the expenses affi liated with them, they were selling them for a dollar.

Donison’s church isn’t one of them. A rare stock in this country, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s Anglican Church has seen its average Sunday attendance grow 35 per cent over the past fi ve years – at the same time numbers in most churches are shrinking.

Donison thinks he has an idea of what his church is doing right.

“We’re preaching the gospels,” says Donison.

In case you’ve never attended Christianity 101, the gospels are the biblical accounts of Jesus’ birth, told in different ways by multiple authors – mainly, the disciples of Jesus. They include the birth, divin-ity, death and resurrection of Jesus – you know, the fundamentals of the Christian faith.

From the outside looking in, one would expect the gospels to be taught in church, right?

But this is not necessarily the case. Over the last half century, churches in North America and Europe have become increasingly liberal with their theology. How lib-eral? Well, many Christian churches don’t actually believe in Christ anymore.

The United Church – once the largest Protestant community in Canada – has expressly stated that stories of the Bible can be used for teaching, but they are not meant to be taken literally.

Earlier this month in a radio in-terview a United Church minister in Toronto said she no longer believed in the resurrection of Christ. She announced this to her congregation. Most of them shrugged. They didn’t care.

“What the liberal church has been doing for the last 50 years is revisioning the faith, from top to bottom,” explains Donison. “The Bible is no longer the authority – the belief for some is that it’s an ancient book, or collection of books, most of which are a bunch of fairy tales.”

The liberal church in Canada took root in the mid-1960s. The Anglican Church, which saw its

membership numbers shrinking rapidly, asked Pierre Berton to write a report on the state of the church.

Arguably one of Berton’s most controversial conclusions in “The Comfortable Pew” was that, if the church wanted to remain relevant into the 21st century, it would have to let go of its old theologies and doctrines and adapt its views to modern culture.

Fast-forward fi ve decades and those churches that have done pre-cisely what Berton recommended are fl ailing. The United Church of Canada, while notable in many communities for its mission work – operating food banks and gener-ally supporting communities in a charitable way – is dying a slow death.

In 1964, the United Church peaked with 1.1 million members, making it the largest Protestant community in the country. The church has been in steady decline ever since.

The most recent statistics suggest the mean age in the United Church is 65-years-old. The church has around half a million members, a number that continues to shrink every year.

Maybe, you think, this doesn’t matter. But without members, churches can’t continue to do or fund the good work its members feel called to do.

As one retired United Church minister told the Globe and Mail last year, communities will suffer as a result.

But some churches are growing. Donison’s church is one of those

anomalies. It’s one of 71 Anglican parishes across the country that “split” from the Anglican Church of Canada on what it believes to be theological grounds.

St. Peter and St. Paul’s is now part of the Anglican Network in Canada, a region established by An-glicans in the southern hemisphere, where 80 per cent of Anglicans and an estimated 75 per cent of all Christians reside – and where Chris-tianity is growing exponentially.

It’s not just the rapid growth that makes the church different, howev-er. The congregation is young. The church runs and funds a number of mission programs in Centretown and abroad.

It also happens to be full of Christians that still believe in Christ.

Only time will tell if the latter anomaly is what the Christian church needs to resurrect itself in Canada.

To the editor,

Did you know that 18 million Canadians are members of at least one of the 9,000 plus co-opera-tives across this country?

In fact, many members themselves might not even realize that they belong to one. I am hoping that we can help change this dur-ing Co-op Week in Canada, which runs from Oct. 13 to 19.

Co-operatives create jobs and contribute to regional economies where private businesses would not see the desired returns on equi-ty. This is particularly true in rural areas, where often the only convenient store or gas station is a co-op and the only fi nancial institution in town is a credit union. Co-operatives follow a model that greatly empow-ers each member, resulting in a wonderful combination of business success and so-cial responsibility – which plays an important role in the economy and in our communities.

Having been recon-fi rmed in my position as co-operatives advocate for the Liberal Party of Canada following last summer’s reorganization of respon-sibilities within the Liberal team, I am pleased to con-tinue promoting Canada’s co-operatives and their val-ues to the best of my abili-ties.

In that role last year, I proposed to the House of Commons the creation of a special parliamentary

committee to determine the needs of Canada’s co-op-eratives.

Moreover, in response to growing Liberal pressure in Parliament and elsewhere, the Conservative govern-ment backtracked and agreed in January of this year to provide reasonable mortgages and refi nancing for housing co-operatives.

Today, I am committed to continuing the fi ght to ensure that co-operatives are better capitalized and that the housing subsidy agreements with housing co-operatives are renewed. I am a fi rm believer in the value of the co-operative model and in the potential of co-operatives to grow and develop – if the playing fi eld is level.

Co-op Week will be cel-ebrated throughout Canada. This is an opportunity for Canadian co-operative and credit union members “to celebrate the fact that they have collectively helped to build this country and to recognize their continuing contributions at home and abroad.”

A good way for all to celebrate Co-op Week would be to visit or learn about at least one co-opera-tive in your neighbourhood or region.

You might even consider joining one. By continuing to work together for the common good, we will sus-tain and grow the co-opera-tive sector.

News - Paul Henry knows every feature of the city’s new archive building in and out. The pressurized doors, the dual air conditioning systems and the specifi c temperature controls for different rooms.

Every document in the build-ing is given every chance to survive as long as possible.

“Forever, give or take a day,” Henry said.

So are the staff, who work in a profession with its own dis-ease. Archivist’s lung is caused by breathing in too much mold from documents.

It’s the reason documents from the former Cumberland township are kept locked up in a different, off-site facility, in-accessible before they undergo a thorough mold-removal pro-cess.

“It’s literally a biohazard,” Henry said about the moldy documents.

“Some of the material we’ve seen is damaged beyond re-pair.”

The documents were stored in a Cumberland municipal building when they were dam-aged during a fl ood sometime in the ’90s.

The full transfer of the docu-ments to the amalgamated city archives was only fi nished in March, and the damage was discovered when staff were

asked to produce older assess-ment rolls.

There are documents – like the assessment rolls – that are damaged, and don’t appear to have had any mold restoration done in the past, Henry said. But it’s not believed every doc-ument from the Cumberland

records is damaged. Often, records are stored on

shelves, with larger or oversize items like the assessment rolls on lower shelves, making them more susceptible to damage.

It recently became a problem when a business in the former township of Cumberland ap-plied to expand – but the de-cades-old business didn’t ap-pear to be on a site zoned for commercial use.

“This has the potential to cause some problems if situa-tions arise where you need ac-cess,” said Cumberland Ward Coun. Stephen Blais. “We saw that with the (business) on Frank Kenny (Road) a few weeks ago. We’re not sure that a document existed, but we know we couldn’t fi nd out.”

The business was almost closed down because the city didn’t have proof it was al-lowed to operate on that site,

which showed being zoned as residential. Because there is no inventory of what documents the Cumberland archives has, there was no way to know if any documents showing a re-zoning even existed.

But they did have building permits issued for the exist-ing structures on the property, which led Blais to believe they were allowed to operate the business, which had never had any complaints from neigh-bours, he said.

“Clearly that business had existed for a long time in a des-ignation where it should not have,” Blais said.

“But the township had issued building permits … so we don’t understand how they would have got building permits if they weren’t allowed to do that on their property.”

See LACK, page 12

Silvia Kindl, conservator with the city, demonstrates how a paper document is washed for preservation at the city’s archives. The documents from the former Cumberland township could need a variety of restorative treatments after water damage sustained in the 1990s in order to be salvageable.

In the case of the Cumberland busi-ness, it went to city council for a fi nal vote. By a one-vote margin, council decided to allow it to continue operat-ing.

“It’s a good honest business,” Blais said. “Common sense prevailed.”

It could be years before the archive documents can be accessed and fi led so that city staff even know what ex-ists.

Based on how much previous mold restoration jobs have cost, Henry said it would be “$20,000 to get it treated so it doesn’t kill anyone.” A compre-hensive study hasn’t been done yet on the archives.

If all the Cumberland records were placed on shelves like library books, they would stretch for 185 metres, just to give an idea of how many docu-ments need to be individually pro-cessed, quarantined and cleaned be-fore they can even be inventoried.

The city has a schedule of how long documents are kept – things like swim-ming pool payment receipts have to be kept for tax purposes for a number of years – before they are shredded.

Because the mold has to be removed before the boxes can be inventoried, it means several hundred dollars could

be spent to clean paper, just to shred it in the end.

“We may end up shredding them, even after spending $300 a box,” Hen-ry said.

The Gloucester township records had water damage, but they also had an electronic database that allowed the archivists to tell what was what. T

he Cumberland township archives don’t. Just because the mold restora-tion was never done by Cumberland Township doesn’t mean they were lazy or didn’t care.

While the city now employs six archivists, the township didn’t have a professional archivist on staff. Most rural areas don’t.

“This is the challenge when you’re dealing with amalgamated resources,” Henry said.

“It’s not their fault (that they) did not necessarily see a lot of their records on the same page of importance as clean water, clear roads and electricity.”

In the meantime, certain documents can be accessed, put through quar-antine and cleaned, but many can’t, based on the unknown contents.

Henry said it’s an ongoing concern and there are plans to preserve what they can, but it could be years because of the cost and the general lack of de-mand to access the records.

Blais said that any problems, like the recent business issue, will be han-dled on a case by case basis.

“This has the potential to cause some problems if situations arise where you need access,” he said.

“It can be challenging, especially if you’re going back to land documents. So that poses a challenge, and that puts the city at risk. And each land-owner would have to choose how to proceed.

“(But) the overwhelming major-ity of people will never have to worry about this because it’s for those special cases where something was allowed to happen or a special exception was given.”

Lack of documentation to be dealt with on case-by-case basis


Document restoration can be a tedious and time-consuming job.

News - This year’s char-ity run in the hamlet is back, keeping the Cancer Chase name and Ottawa Hospital Research Institute benefactor the event adopted last year.

It will run on Sat., Oct. 20 starting at 9 a.m., with doors opening at 8:15 a.m., at the Blackburn Community Cen-tre at 200 Glen Park Dr.

The run has gone on for 10 years, but this is only the sec-ond year it’s had the Cancer Chase title.

In past years, the event has raised about $20,000 through

participant and corporate do-nations. Organizers say they are hoping to raise a similar amount this year.

To register for the run, run-ners and walkers can sign up through the Running Room for a standard $25 donation, which includes a Cancer Chase T-shirt.

But participants can also register on the day of the run by making a donation of their choice.

“We don’t have a set fee that you must contribute,” said Bill Horne, one of the event organizers. “But most people are very generous.”

There are also raffl es and

silent auction items to raise additional funds.

The fi ve-kilometre course will welcome all paces of par-ticipants, from competitive runners to casual walkers.

“There are some high school teams that really run, others run along and a lot of people walk,” Horne said. “It’s not technically a race; it’s just to get out and take part.”

T-shirts featuring the Can-cer Chase logo will also be for sale on Oct. 20.

To register online for the race with the Running Room, visit www.events.running-room.com.

Pathway closed due to Highway 417 constructionStaff

News - The multi-use pathway near Hurdman Bridge will be closed for three weeks due to construction along Highway 417.

The closure, which includes both

sides of the Rideau River, started on Oct. 7 and will remain closed for three weeks.

A marked detour will route both pedestrians and cyclists around the construction.

For cyclists and pedestrians travel-

ling along the west side of the river, the detour will go through the Univer-sity of Ottawa’s Lees Campus, across the Lees Avenue overpass and along Robinson Avenue, back to the Rideau River.

For cyclists and pedestrians travel-

ling on the east side of the river, there will be short and intermittent delays, from the times of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with an on-site flag person to direct traffic.

Part of the Highway 417 expansion project, which began in the spring,

this project will add an additional lane in each direction of the highway be-tween Nicholas Street and the Hwy 417/174 split.

The additional lane will be used for rapid transit during the 2015-18 con-struction of the Confederation Line.

The air in the kitchen hung heavy with the sweet smell of chili sauce.

The blue granite pot sim-mered on the back of the Findlay Oval and every few minutes Mother would take the big wood spoon and stir the chili sauce, sending out more serious smells.

Jars of every size had already been washed and boiled and were now upside down on a clean flour bag tea towel spread out on the bake table.

Hopefully, by supper time, the chili sauce would be ready to be put in jars and there would be an ample supply left over to slather on our plates.

Father would put chili sauce on his pie if Mother would let him. He thought no meal was complete without it.

When it had all been bottled and the lids screwed on as tight as they would go, it was my sister Audrey’s job to carry the jars outside and down to the dug-out under the house, which served as our cellar.

The two doors that rested flat against the outside of the house on a tilt were heavy and hard to open and so I was spared from this chore, for which I was eternally grateful.

I hated going down under the house and into the dank, dark hole that held our vegetables in a sand pit and from swinging shelves could be found preserves and pickles of every description.

The shelves, suspended by two chains from the bottom of the house, were to ensure the mice or any other vermin looking for a dark warm home would be unable to get at the pre-

serves. Mother lined the shelves with folded copies of the Renfrew Mercury for further protection. Before Grandfa-ther bought Mother a Barnett ice box, even our butter and milk were kept on the swinging shelves.

And so the many bottles of chili sauce would soon join the newly jarred preserves and pickles Mother had made from an ample garden that year.

If we liked chili sauce, we had an uncle who liked it even more so, if that was possible. Uncle Johnny De-Gray lived in Ottawa, but he and Aunt Vanetta often drove out to Northcote, a trip Father often said would be the last for the old car that seemed to be hung together with binder twine and hairpins.

In a failed attempt to make the car look presentable, Uncle Johnny had painted the four fenders, none of which matched in size or shape, a deep red.

He said he did that because he lived next door to No. 2 Fire Station on Lyon Street and he always loved the red fire engines, and was fast friends with all the firemen.

On a summer evening, Uncle John-

ny would join them in the driveway of the station, sitting on straight-back kitchen chairs, telling off-colour jokes and slapping their knees in gaiety.

When Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta came to visit, it was always an overnight trip from Ottawa. The couple was as different as night from day. How he loved to eat when he came to the farm.

Mother cooked up whatever he chose and of course the table was laden with heaping bowls of potatoes, at least two different vegetables and plates of freshly-baked bread.

Without even asking, Mother knew that Uncle Johnny would scan the table and if it wasn’t already there, he would say, “don’t forget the chili sauce, Mabel.”

Uncle Johnny didn’t believe much in saying grace, even though Aunt Vanetta was a devout Catholic, never missing mass, and carrying her rosary beads in her pocket wherever she went, but at our table grace was mandatory.

I confess that during grace, when Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta were visiting, I kept my eyes open and on Uncle Johnny and he kept his eyes on

the bowl of chili sauce.He would load his plate like it was

his last meal on earth and then he would reach for the chili sauce, just about emptying the bowl.

If that wasn’t enough, when his plate had been wiped clean, he would lay out two slices of heavily buttered bread, and cover them with more chili sauce wiping the bowl clean with a corner of the bread.

Often he would undo the top button of his trousers, to ease the discomfort caused by the mounds of food he had eaten. But it didn’t matter how much he had on his plate or how often he went back for seconds, he always had room for those slices of bread slath-ered with chili sauce.

And when it was time for Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta to head back

to Ottawa, Mother would have tucked into the back of the old car a couple of freshly plucked chickens, vegetables from the cellar, and always two or three jars of chili sauce.

Uncle Johnny would take the old car robe in the back seat and wrap the chili sauce jars tight so that they wouldn’t come to some bad fate on the way back to Ottawa.

Heaven forbid that the jars would smash together and break and he would lose his precious cargo.

My older and wiser sister Audrey said she was quite sure he would rather see the chickens and vegetables toss out the car window, rather than Mother’s precious chili sauce.

For Uncle Johnny, the chili sauce was worth the two day trip from Ot-tawa.

Uncle Johnny thought chili sauce was worth a trip from Ottawa

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature will open the doors of its re-search and collections facility for a free open house this weekend.

Many of the museum’s animal skeletons, pressed plants and dino-saur bones will be available to view at the Natural Heritage Campus in Gatineau on Oct. 19. The free event offer visitors the opportunity to see how dinosaur fossils are prepared for study and display, give them the chance to meet an Arctic plant researcher, explore an Arctic field camp and investigate the hidden world of algae and see specimens collected during the 1913-1918 Canadian Arctic Expedition. Vice president of corporate services, Michel Houle said this event offers people an opportunity to see another side of the museum.

“On one hand, we have the public face in Ottawa,” Houle said. “That is

meant to showcase what we are all about, but there is also this facility that has many more specimens that we don’t get to show. Ultimately, this collection is for Canadians and we want them to see them.”

Museum curators, staff and vol-unteers will be available to answer questions and share their expertise.

In a warehouse roughly the size of five hockey arenas, the museum boasts more than 10.5 million speci-mens under its roof and is often subject to hundreds of visits from scientists and students to view the collections, work in the labs and collaborate with the museum’s re-search staff.

According to the museum, the tours will be self-guided and are best suited for children five years of age and up.

In the years 2009 and 2011, open houses hosted at the campus at-tracted more than 2,000 visitors to the event.

Desjardins is sponsoring the free

event and no reservations are re-quired. Cameras are permitted and there will be free parking available on site. The open house runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gourmet Cuisine will offer a cash-only barbecue.

Among the highlights Are:

• Earth Sciences – Check out sparkling minerals, dinosaur bones, Ice Age animals and other geologi-cal treasures.

• Botany - there will be plants of all kinds pressed and preserved on display.

• Vertebrates – Enter the Large Skeleton Room and marvel at the wall of antlers, whale bones and skeletons of all kinds.

• Invertebrates – Tiny insects, co-lourful shells, marine creatures and other creepy crawlies that account for most of Earth’s biodiversity;

• Labs - Discover how new dis-coveries are made in our DNA lab, X-Ray lab and Analytical lab.

News - Lynne Kett-Hiscoe plans to turn the town pink in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The 59-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 51.

“My kids and my friends con-vinced me to go,” Kett-Hiscoe said of getting a mammogram. “I put it off because I was busy working dur-ing tax time. But I finally went in March and they told they had found something.”

Kett-Hiscoe said since her diagno-sis she had a lumpectomy – a surgery to get rid of the mass – and later un-derwent a mastectomy.

“The doctors told me they didn’t get it all,” she said of the lumpec-tomy, adding the lump was found in March eight years ago and she didn’t have surgery until the following Au-gust. After the surgery she had to heal before undergoing eight rounds of chemotherapy to rid her body of the cancer that had moved into her lymph nodes.

“The doctor said if I had waited six months to have a mammogram I probably wouldn’t have survived until I had the surgery,” Kett-Hiscoe said.

She is one of a number of ambas-sadors across the province working

with the Canadian Cancer Society urging women between the ages of 50 to 69 to get a mammogram every two years.

October is Breast Cancer Aware-ness Month and according a survey commissioned by the society in Au-gust, 39 per cent of women 50 to 69 don’t get screened for cancer regu-larly. The same survey showed that 47 per cent of Ontarian women don’t know that a mammogram is the best way to screen.

Kett-Hiscoe said the society is handing out an item called a Thin-gamaboob.

A Thingamaboob is a series of beads on a keychain.

The smallest bead on the keychain represents the average size lump found by getting regular mammo-grams; the next bead on the keychain

represents the average size lump found by a first-time mammogram.

The second largest bead shows the average size lump found by clinical breast examinations, and the largest bead represents the average lump size found by women performing regular self-examinations.

According to the society, one in four cancer diagnoses is breast can-cer. There have 9,300 diagnosed cas-es of it this year in Ontario and 1,950 women will die from it.

“Early detection and treatment is the key,” Kett-Hiscoe said.

Kett-Hiscoe has been cancer free for a number of years and now works as a peer counsellor for people cur-rently undergoing treatment.

“I was able to talk to lady in To-ronto during my treatment and that really helped,” she said.

She said women are concerned about whether or not they are going to survive and what the treatments will feel like.

“The best advice I give them is to take the medication they are pre-scribed. If you do that, it’s half the battle,” she said.

The cancer society recommends women aged 50 to 69 have a mammo-gram every two years, either through a referral from their doctor or calling the Ontario breast screening program directly at 1-800-668-9304.

Is your investment and retirement plan constructed in a manner similar to pension

funds, or is it simply a collection of mutual funds and stocks, with no clear strategy?

Consider the following: given your current savings, when do you hope to retire? What is the appropriate “spending rate” for your portfolio in retirement? What is the

target rate of return you need to achieve, using the least amount of risk?

Taking everything into account, is your retirement income plan sustainable?

Community - The idea for Take a Veteran to Dinner Night was born of a strong desire to show appreciation of the efforts and sacrifices of Canadian veterans in past and current conflicts.

This non-partisan event is simply an opportunity for community mem-bers to personally thank area veterans

and their spouses by treating them to dinner.

That is, a host buys a veteran’s ticket as well as their own and both host and veteran attend the dinner together.

We encourage hosts to invite vet-eran and spouse couples when appro-priate.

Building on the successes of the previous dinners, this year’s event will occur on Sunday, Oct. 20 at Tudor Hall. Cocktails will be available start-ing at 5 p.m. with dinner following at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $55 per person (but there is no cost for veterans and their

spouses) and the evening will include an introduction of veterans in atten-dance, a dinner, a guest speaker and much reminiscing.

For more information about this event, please visit www.veteransdin-ner.ca. Hosts and honourees may call 613-239-4035 to order tickets.

Lifestyle - This classic Ko-rean comfort food uses the thinnest slices of marinated beef for fl ash-in-the pan stir-fry with crisp, vibrantly co-loured veggies. Just be care-ful to keep the meat tender by cooking to medium doneness. Serve with rice, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Marinating time: four hours or up to overnight. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 750 g (1-1/2 lb) beef fl ank marinating steak• 25 ml (2 tbsp) rice vinegar• 2 green onions, thinly sliced• 2 cloves garlic, minced• 50 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce• 15 ml (1 tbsp) fi nely minced fresh gingerroot • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil• 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch • 15 ml (1 tbsp) dark brown sugar• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil• 1 large carrot, sliced• 500 ml (2 cups) chopped broccoli• 1/2 red pepper, fi nely chopped• 1 red onion, thinly sliced• 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) sliced mushrooms, such as white button, cremini or shiitake

PREPARATION

Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into thin, angled slices and set them aside.

In a medium bowl, com-bine the rice vinegar, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seed oil. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and brown sugar and then blend it evenly into the soy mixture.

Toss the beef slices with the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate the beef for at least four hours or, preferably, overnight.

In a large, heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over me-

dium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and distributing it in the pan in single layer (or cook it in two batches to avoid crowding).

Turn the heat up to high and cook, stirring occasion-ally, for two to three minutes or until it is beginning to brown. Remove the meat and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the carrot, broccoli, red pep-per, red onion and mushrooms for fi ve minutes, stirring con-stantly, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Return the meat and any ac-cumulated juices to the skillet and stir over heat to combine

Community - Food is at the epicenter of our nation’s most pressing issues – from poverty and poor health, to the environment and econo-my – and communities need to make these critical connec-tions so Canadians can mobi-lize more effectively, says a new report from Community Foundations of Canada.

“Our most challenging problems are landing at kitch-en tables across Canada,” said CFC president Ian Bird.

“Food is the intersection point, the place where we all feel the impact of these big issues in a very personal way.

Fertile Ground: Sowing the Seeds of Change in Canada’s Food System includes these key fi ndings:

• Fighting the symptoms isn’t working. The principal cause of hunger is poverty. For 30 years communities have been responding to hun-ger with food banks and other strategies, but food bank us-age shows no signs of slow-ing down. Combine this with food prices that are rising at nearly twice the rate of the consumer price index and it’s

clear that this problem won’t be solved with food dona-tions alone.

• Our choices are hurting our health. There are now more obese people than un-dernourished people in the world and here at home more than three in fi ve Canadian adults are overweight or obese; type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseas-es in Canada.

• Taking a toll on our envi-ronment. Feeding the world’s population has led to massive changes in agriculture over the past century. The practic-es we’ve developed to build a more effi cient food system are having a major impact on our environment. Greenhouse gas emissions directly related to animal and crop produc-tion alone accounted for 8.1 per cent of total 2009 emis-sions for Canada.

• Canadians are driving change. Canada’s organic sector has experienced dou-ble-digit annual growth in production and retail sales over the past decade. Farm-ers’ markets are reporting more than $1 billion in annu-al sales. Young farmer enter-

prises are performing better than other farms in Canada. The signs are all around us: Canadians are taking local food matters into their own hands. How can we build on the momentum?

Canada has the potential to be a leader on the world stage.

For CFC’s part, the organi-zation will be:

• Convening national groups working in the food space to determine opportu-nities for shared action and engagement, • Sharing the Fertile Ground report at gath-erings across the country and providing information and tools to all 191 community foundations across Canada

• Highlighting the issues related to food at the inaugu-ral Community Knowledge Exchange Summit in Toronto in early November 2014, an event that’s part of a new it-erative and multi-stakeholder approach to building and sharing community knowl-edge.

Vital Signs is an annual community check-up con-ducted by community foun-dations across Canada.

Food is ground zero for Canada’s most challenging issues: report

Community - New data released from the national Youth Smoking Survey show that a very high num-ber of high school students are using fl avoured tobacco products.

More than half (52 per cent) of high school students in Canada who used tobacco products in the previous 30 days had used fl avoured tobacco products. Fruit- and candy-fl avoured tobacco makes it easier for youth to become addicted to tobacco.

“These survey results clearly show there is an urgent and compel-ling need for federal and provincial governments to ban all fl avoured tobacco products,” says Rob Cun-ningham of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Swift action is needed to protect youth from these products. It is es-sential that governments introduce new legislation without delay.”

The federal Tobacco Act prohibits fl avours (except menthol) in ciga-rettes, cigarillos (little cigars) and blunt wraps. However, cigarillos are defi ned as cigars weighing 1.4 grams or less or having a cigarette fi lter.

Many tobacco companies have avoided this defi nition by increasing the weight to more than 1.4 grams, which allows them to continue to add fl avours to the product.

In Canada, many categories of tobacco products remain heavily fl avoured and are not prohibited by federal legislation, including ciga-rillos (weighing more than 1.4 grams), water pipe tobacco, smoke-less tobacco and menthol cigarettes. Flavours include chocolate, mint, cherry, peach, strawberry, and other fruit and candy fl avours that are ap-pealing to youth.

The Youth Smoking Survey found that among high school students:

• 14 per cent had smoked ciga-rettes in the previous 30 days.

• 20 per cent had used a tobacco product in the previous 30 days.

• 10 per cent had used a fl avoured tobacco product (including menthol cigarettes) in the previous 30 days.

This new information about the

high popularity of menthol ciga-rettes among youth contrasts with a low level of popularity among adults, with menthol cigarettes representing only 4 per cent of all cigarettes sold to adults in Canada.

“Menthol cigarettes make it easi-er for young people to smoke and get addicted and must also be banned,” says Cunningham.

Menthol was exempted from fed-eral legislation because at the time data were not available about the prevalence of youth smoking men-thol cigarettes.

“With this new data clearly show-ing that many young people are smoking menthol products, the men-thol loophole must be closed,” says Cunningham.

The Youth Smoking Survey is conducted every two years. The most recent survey results are from the survey conducted between October 2010 and June 2011 with 50,949 stu-dents participating across Canada.

For 75 years the Canadian Can-cer Society has been relentless in its commitment to prevent cancer, fund research and support Canadians touched by cancer. Visit cancer.ca or call 1-888-939-3333.

News – The city has ordered a halt to construction on the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge after engi-neers raised concern over de-sign features.

The municipality fi red Genivar, the bridge’s origi-nal contractor on Sept. 5, and subsequently hired Delcan to review the existing work and plan design modifi cations.

The $6.9-million project includes the bridge, construc-tion of an east-west pathway between the Hunt Club com-munity and the south east tran-sitway, as well as the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetland Pathway System.

City staff said they are con-cerned specifi cally about two parts of the bridge which could hinder its lifespan and mainte-nance.

Nancy Schepers, deputy city manager of planning and infra-structure, said it was her duty

to put a stop to the work.“I want to point out how im-

portant it is to fi nish this proj-ect, but it has to get to the high-est quality standard and the highest safety standard,” said Schepers, who is also a profes-sional engineer, during a press conference held on Oct. 4.

The city has hired an inde-pendent, bridge engineering fi rm, Buckland and Taylor, to perform a third-party review of the project.

River ward Coun. Maria McRae said she felt the same frustration as her constituents over the two-year construction delay on the bridge, which was originally supposed to be built in 2011.

“The expectation was that this project would be com-pleted, and to that end I have done everything I could do to keep updated about this proj-ect, and feel very supportive of our city staff in that regard,” said McRae, before stating she asked for Schepers’ feedback about completing a third-party

review.“This is a really impor-

tant project to our city,” said McRae.

“Not only is it important for pedestrian connection and a cycling connection between thousands of residents who live in Hunt Club to access the southeast transitway, to ac-cess the wetland pathways, but there’s also access to a very large shopping plaza where people work.”

The city will seek to recover costs, including but not limited to those related to any delays, claims, design review changes, and construction qualifi ca-tions.

CONSTRUCTION DELAYS

Genivar was awarded a contract to design the Airport Parkway bridge in 2010.

Construction started on July 6, 2011, and was supposed to fi nish on Oct. 31, 2011, but was extended to Nov. 28, due to concerns about the concrete.

“Nearly two years have passed since that time, and dur-ing which the concrete of the lower portion of the main tow-er was poured, subsequently

demolished, and re-poured in October 2012,” said Schepers.

Other work for the project has been completed, including construction of the pathway

and lighting, and general land-scaping, as well as offsite work such as the bridge railings.

As construction progressed this summer, concerns were raised regarding the stay sup-porting system of the bridge and the constructability of the steel anchorage piece at the top of the tower.

“At that point, given the na-ture of the concerns that were raised, I was not prepared to move forward with these par-ticular elements until I was sat-isfi ed that the concerns raised were either dismissed or, if validated, that they were cor-rected,” Schepers said.

Based on the concerns, Buckland and Taylor were called in to do a peer review at the end of August after Geni-var refused to make any modi-fi cations.

McRae warned that as ward councillor, if she was not sat-isfi ed with the review, and if there was any information lacking in the document, she would pursue a review by the auditor general.

In the meantime, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd. has temporarily suspended any work on site.

It is possible Bray will con-tinue with the construction after the peer review is com-plete.

McRae said the third-party review will also shed light on how the city got to this point.

“Thank goodness for our city engineer that we are look-ing at this today instead of hearing about problems down the road. I would much rather that there would be another de-lay today to ensure we are not dealing with signifi cant costs and delays in the future.”

Based on Buckland and Taylor’s recommendation, the city directed Genivar to initi-ate design modifi cations for the bridge.

The city reached an impasse with Genivar, and their servic-es were terminated.

The city awarded a contract to Delcan to modify and as-sume full responsibility for the bridge design.

“Delcan is undertaking a thorough review of the design and construction that has been done to date, and will identify the necessary design modifi ca-tions to address the two spe-cifi c issues that were raised,” said Schepers.

“In this process, they will also be validating the overall design to ensure functionality and maintenance with regards to the conditions under which the structure will be operat-ing,” said Schepers. “It is my expectation that by the middle of November, we will be in a position to report on the rec-ommended path forward.”

At the request of the coun-

cillor, the city will be initiat-ing an independent, compre-hensive third-party review of the entire bridge project and its fi ndings will be reported back to the mayor and coun-cil, as well as the fi nance and economic development com-mittee.

“The scope of this review is currently being fi nalized and will focus on identifying areas for improvement to prevent similar problems from reoc-curring,” said Schepers.

“In the meantime, I continue to be concerned with the qual-ity and timeliness of work re-lated to this important project to date, and I have been work-ing with the general manager of infrastructure services to identify immediate actions to ensure that this does not hap-pen again.”

SERIOUS MATTER

McRae said processes will now be put in place due to the concerns raised about this project.

“This is a very, very serious matter,” she said.

“We don’t oversee the day to day building of these proj-ects. We are not on site. We hire contractors and consul-tants as a corporation and we expect them to fi ll their con-tracts. The public expects that too. I’m confi dent that under the leadership of Ms. Schep-ers, processes will be put in place, have been put in place.

“I’m very confi dent that this bridge will be built to the safest and highest quality standards.”

Community – Results of a new survey show that while Canada is well positioned to take advantage of a new digital and more technologi-cally-advanced economy, we fall below the average com-pared to other OECD coun-tries in numeracy scores.

The Organisation for Eco-nomic Co-operation and De-velopment released the fi nd-ings from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies – the most comprehensive survey of skills ever undertaken amongst OECD countries.

In Canada, more than 27,000 adults aged 16 to 65 participated in the survey. In literacy scores, these adults scored around the average of the 33 participating coun-

tries, yet scored signifi cantly below the average numeracy score.

Furthermore, the survey indicates that Canada has a high skills divide with sig-nifi cant populations falling at either the lowest or the highest levels in literacy and numeracy scores.

The survey also found a higher proportion of Canadi-ans engage with information and computer technologies than the OECD average. Ca-nadian adults, in particular, are adept at problem solving in technology-rich environ-ments.

Overall, Canada had the second-largest proportion of adults aged 16 to 65 who per-formed at the highest level.

However, younger Canadi-

an adult populations between the ages of 16 and 24 scored signifi cantly below the aver-age in literacy and numeracy domains when compared to other OECD countries.

The survey also highlight-ed youth who are neither in employment nor in educa-tion and training, and the negative effects on skills.

This group of young peo-ple in Canada are six times more likely to score low literacy levels than those in education or work.

Essential Skills Ontario will continue to analyze the survey results over the course of the coming months to fully understand the re-sults and their implications for education and training in Canada.

FinneganThis sweet furface is a Coton de Tulear, a very, very smart pooch whose ancestors lived on the isle of Madagascar three centuries ago. Today this pup is considered royalty over there - even had his face on a Madagascar postage stamp! Our Finnegan wears a fur coat the colour of new snow, a soft coat the texture of coton. Shaggy, windblown hair falls over big black eyes. Finnie has a sweet and droll little voice. He chortles, utters tiny musical snorts and rumbles with joy on good sunny days. He loves to run, does mighty leaps and a clever little dance on his hind paws. This boy is a kisser, a love bug, a sharer of small chewed bones and favorite toys. With bright eyes and cocked head Finnigan applies himself to learning people talk - and I do believe he’s succeeeding! Never mind the fluffy stuffed toy look, our little guy is hardy. He is comfortable in snow, rain or in my bed on a warm duvet. He only wants to be with you and make you enjoy life as he does every single day. Fun and endearing, Cotons are known as the antidepressant dogs!

Pet Adoptions

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us: Website: Email: Telephone:

Choosing to adopt a dog from the Ottawa Humane Society means different things to different people: a new family member, a best friend, running buddy, fellow couch potato.

But to the dog who’s going to a new forever home, it means the chance for a happy, comfortable and fulfilling life, thanks to you.

The OHS has many wonderful dogs, from purebred puppies to senior mixed breeds, who wound up in shelter through no fault of their own – maybe it was due a new baby or the move to an apartment that doesn’t allow pets. For some, it happened when their previous owner couldn’t afford life-

saving medical care and made the right choice to surrender them to the OHS. Ultimately, these aren’t problem dogs – they were dogs with people problems. Now they’re just waiting for the right adopter to pass by.

It’s important to note that choosing to adopt from the OHS isn’t only about giving a shelter dog a home; OHS dogs are frequently in high-demand so there’s no hard-sell needed. There are, however, tangible financial benefits to choosing an OHS dog. (It’s not just about the slobbery kisses!) Your OHS dog is:

Petsecure That’s adds up to a savings of an

estimated $726 when compared to the cost of a “free” puppy from a friend or colleague.

So, this October, if you’ve been thinking about adding a furry sidekick to your family, consider stopping by the 245 West Hunt Club Rd. facility to visit Dodger, Chief, Bronx, or one of the many other wonderful dogs at the OHS. You just might find that perfect canine match to help you celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Visit our website for more information at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Meet Chief, a seven-year-old, neutered male, American foxhound who was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray on Aug. 3. He’s now available for adoption.

Like a typical hound, he likes to get to know his environment by smelling around. He’s a social boy with an independent side, he loves to meet new people, but is content with taking a nap alone on his dog bed.

Chief would rather not be a couch potato. He’s not ready to slow down anytime soon, so he will need adequate physical and mental stimulation to keep his body and mind healthy!

Chief would love the opportunity to participate in obedience classes to learn all his commands.

City proclaims October as Children’s Vision Month

Community - Ottawa has recognized October as Chil-dren’s Vision Month.

Together with local doc-tors of optometry, the procla-mation will help raise aware-ness that children’s vision problems affect learning and development, and prevent children from reaching their full potential, says Dr. Paul Geneau, president of the Ca-nadian Association of Op-tometrists.

“Parents cannot determine if their children see well be-cause when a child has a vi-sion problem they have no point of comparison, so ac-cept the way they see as nor-mal,” says Dr. Kirsten North, an Ontario doctor of optom-etry.

“Many parents aren’t aware that a comprehensive eye exam can make a real differ-ence in how well their child performs at school.”

The need for public aware-ness is very real. A recent sur-vey by the Canadian Associa-tion of Optometrists reports that 61 per cent of Canadian parents mistakenly believe

they would know if their child was having diffi culty with their eyesight.

However, many serious eye conditions do not have obvi-ous symptoms and some eye diseases only show symptoms when the condition is ad-vanced and diffi cult, or even impossible, to treat.

ONE IN FOUR

“We want parents to be aware that one in four school-aged children has a vision problem,” says North.

“We appreciate the mayor and council of Ottawa helping us educate parents on how vi-sion and eye health problems can be detected and managed at an early age. We want par-ents to know an optometric eye exam provides the full assurance of vision and eye health.”

Doctors of optometry rec-ommend infants have their fi rst eye examination between six and nine months of age.

Children should have at least one eye exam between the ages of two and fi ve, and

yearly after starting school to ensure optimal vision and de-velopment.

Children’s Vision Month is centered on school aged chil-dren, between ages the ages of three and 12 and will focus on four specifi c message pil-lars:

• An eye exam by a doc-tor of optometry can assess the quality of a child’s vision and their overall eye health (20/20 vision does not equal healthy eyes).

• Parents cannot determine if their children have healthy eyes.

• Vision problems affect learning and development and prevent children from reach-ing their full potential.

• Trust your child’s glasses to a doctor of optometry.

Although an eye exam by a doctor of optometry can as-sess your child’s vision an eye health, be alert for symptoms that could indicate your child has a visual problem.

Your child may not realize they have a vision problem – they may simply assume ev-eryone sees the way they do.

Ecology Ottawa challenges residents to plant more treesMichelle [email protected]

News - A new initiative launched by Ecology Ottawa aims to combat dying city trees by asking Ottawans to plant thousands of trees.

Tree Ottawa is a commu-nity-based project which asks residents, private companies and organizations to help pro-tect the city’s canopy by plant-ing, protecting and promoting trees in their neighbourhoods. Over the next three to five years, Ottawa is expected to loose about 25 per cent of its tree canopy because of the em-erald ash borer. This initiative is to take a proactive approach to keeping the city’s canopy strong.

“We want every residence of the city to plant one tree in the next five years,” said Chris Henderson, an Ottawa busi-nessman and Tree Ottawa sup-porter. “By 2017, in time for Ottawa to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we’ll have one million trees planted.”

Henderson said he attended an event just this past week, and managed to get 49 indi-viduals to sign up to the cause.

Ecology Ottawa o fficially launched the project at Bing-ham Park in Lowertown, by planting one an American Basswood tree.

Executive director of Ecol-ogy Ottawa Graham Saul said this tree is but one of the many he hopes residents will plant over the next four years.

Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author, botanist and tree expert, and Sarah Harmer, activist and Juno Award-winning musician, helped plant the tree.

“I am a tree hugger from way back,” Harmer said. “I am happy to be a part of this initia-tive.”

Beresford-Kroeger told the small crowd who gathered to help plant the tree how im-portant trees are to an urban landscape. She added she was pleased with the choice of tree being planted and for the pro-gram itself.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-thieu Fleury also attended the event.

“We can not underestimate the importance of our trees,” he said.

Henderson and Saul both said the core strength of this initiative comes from neigh-bourhood participation.

“This is the first tree of what we hope will be thousands,” Saul said. He further explained the program is inclusive for anyone interested in participat-ing.

Aside from planting new trees, the program also offers participants the opportunity to adopt-a-tree, treating affected ash trees, creating tree ambas-sadors, promoting edible trees, and creating a “Great Ottawa Tree Map.”

Domicile presses forward with retail-condo development


News - Residents in Old Ottawa East seemed mostly pleased with a developer’s vision for the start of a revitalized commercial district on Main Street.

Domicile is working to build two L-shaped buildings on the front por-tion of the 1.4-hectare Sisters of the Sacred Heart site on Main Street between Springhurst Street and Ob-late Avenue. The plans include two buildings with ground-floor retail and around 140 condo units on the five upper floors.

The plan mostly fits into the vi-sion the neigbourhood helped define as part of its community design plan said David Renfroe, Domicile’s di-rector of business development and planning.

“Domicile takes a lot of pride in making this work,” he said. “We are putting our best foot forward to make sure that retail corner works with what you guys have envisioned.”

A few minor variances will be requested, including a reduction in the visitor parking requirement be-cause the amount of rock under the site means the underground park-ing garage can only have one level. Residents would access the parking garage from Oblate Avenue.

Domicile also wants a slight in-crease in the allowed height of the buildings to make way for higher ceilings in the ground-floor retail on Main Street.

Most of the questions and concerns expressed by around 40 residents who attended the meeting focused on the proposal to convert a small sec-tion of Springhurst for two-way traf-fic to allow access to a small interior parking area and loading zone.

Renfroe said that the city already allowed that traffic modification to provide parking garage access for a proposed building on Main Street on the other side of Springhurst, and Domicile wants to extend the two-way section slightly.

While the more modern, sparse structure presented on Oct. 8 was very different from the loose sketch-es of a heritage-style, French-influ-enced building Domicile presented at a previous meeting, the style of the building did not ruffle any feathers at the meeting.

Still, Renfroe said Bruno St. Jean of Neuf Architectes is reworking the design to bring it closer to the origi-nal “heritage” vision.

“We wanted more time to get the drawings more urban – (to have) a little more passion and French flair,” Renfroe said.

Renfroe said both Domicile and St. Jean were not satisfied with the version presented to the community and it will be a work in progress to ensure the corner at Main Street and Oblate Avenue is a gateway into a new community that will rise on those institutional lands.

“We feel that our project is going to be the pulse in the whole develop-ment,” Renfroe said.

“We want too make sure we do it right.”

There was some concern among residents about the possibility of the developer requesting to add an en-closed structure, a “winter reading room,” onto the rooftop terrace. The enclosure would be around 65 square metres and would be set back from the edge of the roof, Renfroe said.

Residents seemed comfort-able with Domicile president John

Doran’s comments about his ap-proach to retail: he said he sees the desirable retailers in his buildings as a way to boost the cachet of the com-munity and help him sell condos.

A restaurant or café patio is tenta-tively planned on Oblate Avenue off the Main Street corner.

The Sisters of the Sacred Heart convent will remain on the back por-tion of the site at least for another 10 years. Bob McElligot, a partner

in the project, said his conversations with the sisters indicate they intend to stay there for some time.

The proposal would require some variances but not a full rezoning, so it can move forward rather quickly. Condo sales should begin in the spring, Renfroe said, and construc-tion would likely start on the first building on Main Street next fall. Construction would take at least 18 months.

SuBMiTTED/NEuF ARCHiTECTES

After showing a more modern, square structure to community members on Oct. 8, developer Domicile and architect Bruno St. Jean began drafted this revision as part of ongoing changes to the design to give it more of a heritage flair.

Community has few reservations about Sisters’ redevelopment on Main Street
