Two councillors want the city to take a stand on banning transport trucks from the King Edward Bridge, calling on council to push the National Capital Commission to ensure that a new crossing between Ottawa and Gatineau would be the main route for commercial traffi c.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark are planning to bring a motion to city council asking the city to press the NCC to include

that caveat in its approach to studying the possible location for a new bridge, which has been in the works for decades.

Right now, the NCC isn’t planning for a bridge that would take all of the truck traf-fi c off King Edward.

“It is going to ask that this interprovincial bridge study understand that the City of Ot-tawa’s position is that no non-local 18-wheel trucks should use King Edward,” Clark said.

The two councillors decided to push for the stand after attending some of the NCC’s recent “world café” consultations on the in-terprovincial crossing.

“It came to our attention that the NCC thinks that 40 per cent of the truck traffi c should still use King Edward, and that’s not solving the problem” Clark said.

“The trucks going through the downtown are not acceptable,” added Fleury, whose ward includes King Edward Avenue and the surrounding Lowertown neighbour-hood. “We want whatever solution is for an interprovincial crossing to offer a solution for that, not to say ‘We’ll solve 40 per cent of the issue.’ We think it can solve 100 per cent of the issue.”

CONGREGATION MARKS NEW BEGINNINGBishop Charlie Masters, right, and Rev. George Sinclair lead members of the Church of the Messiah from the historic St. Alban’s Church to their new home at the Ottawa Little Theatre. Following the settlement of a legal battle with the Diocese of Ottawa, the members of the former congregation of St. Alban’s Anglican Church marked a new beginning on Sunday, June 26, as parishioners symbolically made their way from their home for the past 146 years at the corner of King Edward and Daly avenues to their new location just down the street. The congrega-tion was renamed as part of the mediated legal settlement, instigated by a dispute between the parishioners and the Anglican Church over same sex marriage and other issues.

DEFENDING HISTORYA year after their campaign began, one Ottawa group is keeping up the fi ght to maintain the name of Wellington Street.

Revamped libraries will be coming to Carleton University and the University of Ottawa as part of the unveiling of a 10-year provincial infrastructure renewal plan.

Carleton’s imposing con-crete MacODrum library is of-ten referred to as a “bunker,” said Duncan Watt, the school’s vice president of fi nance and administration. That will be changing as the building re-ceives a new, light-fi lled and transparent façade into the Tory quad, as well as an ad-dition onto the east side that will add two fl oors to part of the building. The $23-million project, including $16 million from the province, will provide additional classroom and li-brary study space, as well as a digital media centre and a new aboriginal centre. The renova-tions will enable the university to accept 1,250 more students.

The University of Ottawa is also due for an updated library, according to the university’s president, Allan Rock. The pro-vincial announcement includes $30 million towards a three-part,

$150-million project to revamp the campus, including expand-ing the existing library. The de-sign work for the library is just getting underway.

Ottawa’s fi ve-year plan also includes a new faculty space

for health sciences, which cur-rently has staff at three sepa-rate locations, as well as a plan to construct a new building for the visual arts.

Algonquin College will also see some improvements

thanks to the province’s new 10-year infrastructure plan. The provincial government will put $6.6 million towards Algonquin’s digital college project. The program will look at using innovative ways to of-fer courses and programs on-line, opening up an additional 900 student spaces without the need to build a single new classroom.

INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

The post-secondary funding announcements are a “down payment” on the Liberal gov-ernment’s larger 10-year plan for provincial infrastructure investment that was announced by infrastructure minister Bob Chiarelli on June 24.

Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, said the plan would pump $35 billion into in-frastructure projects over the next three years. Chiarelli has previously said the entire 10-year plan would include a total of $90 billion in upgrades, but he wouldn’t confi rm that fi g-ure during the announcement, instead saying to “look at our track record.”

The province has provided

about $10 billion in infrastruc-ture funding each year in the last three years.

The funding strategy follows on the heels of the federal and provincial Infrastructure Stim-ulus Fund. Creating a long-term strategy for investing in infrastructure renewal will add some predictability to how infrastructure is funded, Chi-arelli said – one of the major concerns the province heard from municipalities following the ISF program.

The 10-year program will set out priorities for funding hospi-tals to meet the needs of an ag-ing population; public transit, particularly the regional GO Transit system in southern On-tario; improving drinking wa-ter and wastewater systems and reconstructing highways, roads and bridges.

“We can’t afford not to do this,” Chiarelli said. “It is criti-cal for the prosperity of our province.”

With a provincial election ap-proaching in October, the Pro-gressive Conservative party led by Tim Hudak has also prom-ised $35 billion in infrastruc-ture funding as part of its elec-tion platform.

From TRUCKS on page 1Fleury said transport trucks are reduc-

ing the quality of life for downtown resi-dents.

“Having trucks going through our main streets offers so many challenges, not only from an air quality and traffi c-safety (point of view) to congestion, and we have tons of issues with buses run-ning on time,” Fleury said.

Lowertown resident Nathan Davis knows about the impact fi rsthand. He has lived at Bruyère Street for three years and says the noise and vibrations from transports aren’t the only run-ins he has had with trucks.

Two years ago, Davis was crossing King Edward eastbound on his bicycle at the St. Andrew crossing when he was hit by a car – the direct result of a transport truck in the centre lane blocking the car’s view of oncoming traffi c, he says.

While Davis wasn’t seriously injured, he says it could have been worse, and that pedestrian safety is an ongoing con-cern.

“My real issue is the speeding,” Da-vis said. “Trucks are just fl ying through over the speed limit,” he said, adding that many fast-moving trucks – and cars – have a tendency to run red lights on King Edward.

Marc Aubin, president of the King Edward Avenue Task Force said he was pleasantly surprised to hear Fleury speak up on the issue, because the councillor’s position on a study from this spring aimed at reducing traffi c on King Edward Avenue was less than encouraging to Lowertown residents, Aubin said.

Aubin said community members haven’t been consulted on this latest pro-posal to remove truck traffi c from the street, but he said it would be a positive step for the community.

“We would appreciate if he would have been a bit more collaborative in his ap-proach,” Aubin said of Fleury. “It’s an indicator of a communication break-down.”

Aubin said he does think Fleury wants to help the community, adding he and other task-force members would be open to sharing their years of experience and research on the issue.

Fleury said Lowertown residents have been clear on the issue for decades and he is championing the position he has heard repeated again and again in the commu-nity.

Either Clark or Fleury will put forward a notice of motion at the next council meeting, so the motion itself would come up at the meeting after that.

Parents of children going to English public schools in the downtown area will have to wait at least until early fall to know if their kids would be affected with the ongoing accommodation review pro-cess.

Over the past several months, a work-ing committee has been meeting to dis-cuss issues and potential solutions to address both overcrowding and low pro-gram enrolment at schools serving the Centretown, Glebe and Old Ottawa South communities.

The committee held a public meeting on June 22 to provide concerned parents with an opportunity to meet committee members and get information on the sta-tus of work undertaken to date.

The working group was tasked with coming up with long term accommoda-tion solutions for the study area.

While schools like First Avenue and Hopewell Avenue are experiencing over-crowding, other schools like Glashan have expressed the desire to add programs or enrollment by increasing the boundary in the hope of strengthening the school.

“As we go forward with the study, we want to make sure that we try and bal-ance things out for the good of all schools whenever possible,” said Karyn Carty Os-tafi chuk, manager of planning at Ottawa Carleton District School Board.

“That is a diffi cult balance to achieve, but that is where we are working to-

wards.” She said the working group is trying to

fi nd a way to offer programs that are vi-able and offer access for all students.

In order to implement the solutions that the group is working on, some schools will have to amend their programs, alter their boundaries or potentially add ca-pacity.

One of the key concerns among par-ents is limiting the number of children that must be bussed to school, something the group is taking very seriously as they craft their recommendations.

While reaching a consensus may be dif-fi cult, members of the working committee are so far impressed with the progress.

“It is not an easy process, but we are all very surprised at how well we are work-ing together,” said Sharon Chartier, rep-resenting the Glebe Community Associa-tion at the working committee.

Hopewell Parent Council representa-tive Neal Hill described the entire process as extremely challenging.

“We are trying to represent the desires of our communities and at the same time be collaborative enough to work with the concerns of other schools and try to fi nd a compromise solutions that can meet everyone’s needs,” said Hill.

The schools involved in the accommo-dation study are Hopewell Avenue Pub-lic School, First Avenue Public School, Mutchmor Public School, Glashan Public school, Cambridge Street Community Public School, Centennial Public School and Elgin Street Public School.

Construction projects can be challenging and frustrating for small business owners, but it doesn’t have to be that way, ac-cording to several business ad-visors who addressed the Glebe business community.

Since the beginning of Bank Street reconstruction last month, the Glebe Business Im-provement Area has been on its toes trying to develop marketing strategies that would woo shop-pers in the area to mitigate the effect of road closures on local shops, eateries and bars.

One of those efforts took place on June 23, when the Glebe BIA and the Entrepreneurship Cen-tre held a seminar that discussed strategies that allow businesses to persevere under such adverse conditions.

Peter Stewart and Carole Lair of the Entrepreneurship Centre hosted a one-hour panel presen-tation that provided recommen-dations, tips and guidance on how to keep businesses going.

“The seminar was well re-ceived by the businesses there,” said Stewart. “We were giving them tips to make their busi-nesses better. We made it clear to them that the tips position them to move well even after construc-tions.”

The panel discussed manag-ing cash fl ow, streamlining oper-

ations, making effective use of social media along with making the best use of other marketing opportunities.

“Right now it is a matter of managing their expenses and reaching out to their customers and letting them know what is going on and providing excellent customer service,” said Stewart, adding many of the strategies can be implemented quickly and at a minimum of expense.

Glebe BIA executive director Christine Leadman was happy with the turn out, saying that approximately 15 business own-ers and staff attended.

“The presenters were very in-teresting and offered some quick solutions and offered one on one for those who wished to go into more detail or discuss on a more confi dential nature,” said Lead-man, who thought that overall, the seminar was a success.

Glebe store owners have ex-pected business to dip during the construction and say they are hoping customers in the area can help keep them afl oat.

Leadman urged shoppers to watch for a new promotion campaign dubbed We Dig the Glebe, to be launched June 30, but declined to provide further details.

The reconstruction of Bank Street is replacing century-old sewer and water pipes as well as reconstructing the roads and sidewalks.

Fewer passengers riding buses through the Glebe during the Bank Street reconstruction proj-ect has forced OC Transpo to cut down on number of buses going through the area, according to city offi cials.

“We have experienced fewer riders recently, necessitating us to reduce the number of buses going through the Glebe,” said Jocelyne Turner, city spokes-woman.

The reduction will mean less

traffi c on the detour route as sev-eral trips of the numbers 1 and 7 bus routes through the Glebe have been removed.

Additionally, OC Transpo’s summer schedule went into ef-fect on June 27, further reducing the number of buses along the detour route by 27 each day.

The news will come as a re-lief for Glebe residents, some of whom organized opposition to the rerouting of buses onto Hol-mwood Avenue and O’Connor Street. The group created a peti-tion that stated signatories be-lieve their streets are too narrow

and entirely unsuited to high-volume bus traffi c.

According to a city statement, traffi c issues continue to be a top community concern during the reconstruction, and project engi-neers have monitored the traffi c situation and responded in vari-ous ways.

One speed board has been in-stalled on Strathcona Avenue to show motorists their speeds and collect data for the city.

A three-way stop will also soon be installed at Strathcona and O’Connor, according to the state-ment.

A youth-led campaign that op-poses the renaming the section of Wellington Street that runs in front of the Parliament build-ings is now in it’s second year of defending against a move orga-nizers say would be harmful to Canada’s heritage.

The Save Wellington Street campaign grew in opposition to a proposal from an Ottawa author that calls for the iconic street to be named Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard in hon-our of Canada’s fi rst prime min-ister.

The Société Macdonald-Cartier Society initiated the campaign following a proposal initiated by author Bob Plamon-don, who argues the Parliament and Supreme Court buildings should be located on a street named after Canada’s fi rst prime minister, to serve as a re-minder to parliamentarians of

Macdonald’s unifying and noble vision for Canada.

“I think it would be a very im-portant nation building initia-tive for Canada,” said Plamon-don.

He advocates retaining Wel-lington Street West in its cur-rent form and simply renaming the portion of Wellington Street that runs from the Rideau Canal to the National War Museum.

However, those involved in the Save Wellington Street campaign believe the proposed renaming is ill-conceived, and discounts the history surround-ing the street’s namesake, the Duke of Wellington, who they said was among the heroes of Macdonald’s youth and of the formative years of Canada.

“You can’t just go around and change the name of the street like that,” said Immanuel Giulea, founder and executive director of Société Macdonald-Cartier Society.

While the proposal to rename

the street is based on good in-tentions, Giulea said the move would be harmful to Canada’s heritage.

“Erasing someone to com-memorate someone else is not right.”

In a statement, the group credits the Duke of Wellington for having had a fundamental infl uence on Ottawa’s formative years, since he is said to have been a staunch supporter of the Rideau Canal construction, a project that eventually led to the founding of Bytown.

“If it wasn’t for the Duke of Wellington, there would be no Rideau Canal, we would prob-ably not have the city of Ottawa and maybe it would not have been the nation’s capital,” Giu-lea stressed.

Though the city has been try-ing to consult with the federal government on the renaming of the street, the city’s planning committee chairman, Coun. Pe-ter Hume, doesn’t expect to see

the issue tabled before the com-mittee any time soon.

“This is not coming to plan-ning committee in the near future,” said Hume. “We have written to the feds asking their opinion. Once we determine how the federal government is think-ing, then we will determine how this issue will proceed.”

The Save Wellington Street campaign maintains Macdonald

already has signifi cant recogni-tion across the city, including the Macdonald-Cartier Inter-national Airport, which also features a monument to the for-mer prime minister. A statue of Macdonald also features promi-nently on Parliament Hill.

The society has suggested an alternative tribute that would see the Airport Parkway re-named after Macdonald.

Helping to shift mental health care issues from the periphery of the public realm to a front page issue is among the accomplish-ments the outgoing chief execu-tive of the Royal Ottawa Founda-tion for Mental Health will look back on with pride as he moves on to his next challenge.

Tim Kluke is leaving the Royal Ottawa Foundation to join the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, where he will serve as president and CEO, effective July 18.

“I am thrilled and it is indeed a privilege to have been offered the position to lead the foundation,” Kluke said.

He called the appointment, made public during the Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s annual general meeting, a wonderful opportunity for him to build on what is now becoming a tradition of success at the Ottawa Hospital in terms of inspiring the com-munity to support quality health care and research.

“What I look forward to do is to present a collaborative model with the community where we understanding what our donors interests are and march those

up with the needs of the hospital in terms of achieving the best health care in Ottawa,” Kluke said.

Thanks to the remarkable gen-erosity of citizens and corpora-tions across the city, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation celebrated another record year in fundrais-ing achievements with donations surpassing $30 million.

“I am absolutely committed to

success and representing the Ot-tawa Hospital and the foundation in a professional manner and re-ally excited with the opportunity to be a part of such an important institution for all of us,” Kluke said.

During the past eight years at the Royal Ottawa Foundation, Kluke has been credited with running an impressive, high pro-fi le fundraising and awareness campaigns.

Kluke is replacing Susan Doyle, who is retiring after serv-ing the foundation since its in-ception a decade ago.

The board recognized Doyle for her leadership and dedica-tion, which saw around $220 mil-lion raised during her tenure.

Though thrilled to be joining the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Kluke expressed sadness that he was parting with a hard working team at the Royal Ottawa Foun-dation.

“Without a question I will miss very committed volunteers I had the pleasure to work with who are committed to the issue of mental health care,” he said. “I will miss many of the patients who have become public spokes-people on behalf of the issue of mental health.”

Dear Editor,I read your recent editorial

“Dream rink far from frugal” and want to make a few points in response.

There will always be those who take exception at the start of something new. The same was true with our new Convention Centre. Today, many of those naysayers are singing the praises of that new facility and the ben-efi t it brings to our downtown core – benefi ts that go far beyond the pure “dollars and cents” of the project.

Capital Pride and the City have worked out an arrange-ment that allows Pride to enjoy access to all other areas at city hall and, at the same time, per-mit construction to proceed on the rink. We are looking forward to having the rink in operation this year and as a focal point for New Years Eve festivities for years to come.

Also, there have been far too

many times in recent years when our magnifi cent canal was just not in skating condition for much of the winter. The refriger-ated artifi cial ice of the Rink of Dreams will provide a measure of comfort in this regard and city staff has already been hear-ing from groups interested in us-ing the rink area in winter and summer. So Marion Dewar Plaza will soon be a 12 month-a-year at-traction.

It is great to see the Senators Foundation step up to the plate with $1 million. It is even better when you consider that Hockey Canada and other local business-es will be a part of the effort and the Foundation will also be as-sisting community rinks across the city. We are a part of this project for an amount equal to 20 cents on the dollar and operat-ing costs that are less than at any other artifi cial ice surface the City runs. It is a deal that makes “dollars and sense”.

After more than half a decade of mud-dling its way through the fi le, Ottawa city council made a positive fi rst step toward building an effective light rail

system last week.It might not have the same impact as the mas-

sive, multi-billion dollar light-rail transit plan that is slowly working its way through city hall, but the approval of a plan to purchase six new trains and construct a pair of passing sections on the north-south O-Train line puts the city on course to realize the benefi ts of a truly effective transit system.

Started as a pilot project back in 2001, the cur-rent O-Train line that runs from Bayview south to Greenboro has reached capacity. The introduc-tion of additional trains – the current system uses two – will drastically increase that capacity and will reduce the average wait time between trains from 15 to eight minutes. But for nearly $60 mil-lion, what a grown-up version of the O-Train will provide is a taste of the potential light rail has to improve transit in this city.

For many residents, transit can mean waiting in the heat or cold for a bus that will only get stuck amid the throng of other commuters clogging the streets.

For those with access to the O-Train, this invest-ment will mean a vastly improved experience, especially when trips on the Transitway become less enticing once construction on the east-west LRT grinds service through Hurdman Station to a halt.

The move also opens the door for future expan-sion of the north-south line. Transit Commission chairwoman Diane Deans has already asked city staffers to look at the feasibility of extending the O-Train as far south as the Leitrim park-and-ride, providing rail access to the growing community of Riverside South and the airport. The addition of new stops along the existing line is also being proposed by members of the community.

The expansion of the O-Train represents the fi rst real improvement to transit in Ottawa in re-cent years, and will mark the beginning of a light rail revolution in the nation’s capital.

On the right track

It is a winding road of logic that leads to the conclusion that there would have been no riots in Vancou-ver if people still smoked, but you

are patient people and the journey is an interesting one.

Begin with a series of observations. At the gym, a man gets dressed after his workout, steps out into the lobby and takes out his cellphone. Coming out of a concert, a couple pauses outside the door while both people draw cellphones out of their pockets. Sitting alone in a restaurant, a woman toys with her phone while she waits. In a car stopped at a light, a man furtively checks his phone.

Now, they may all have important calls to make, important messages to read, but what they are doing looks so much like smoking it’s spooky.

When people used to smoke, that’s when they did it – coming out of a place where smoking was forbidden, such as a church or concert hall, sitting in the car, waiting alone for someone. Now they use the phone in the same situation – as a reward, as something to pass the time, as something to disguise the fact that they have nothing to do.

Perhaps people don’t check their cellphones after sex, another stereotypi-

cal cigarette moment, but these days you can never be too sure.

Another classic cigarette moment that can’t be replicated with the cellphone is the act of picking up the phone. A lot of people used to light up when making a call. Picking up the phone while pick-ing up the phone doesn’t make a lot of sense, although you wouldn’t put it past some people.

With this incontrovertible evidence at hand, do we make the logical leap and blame the decline of the cigarette for the rise of the cellphone? Of course. Remember the Law of Unintended Con-sequences? It’s obviously at work here. We got rid, for the most part, of a habit that caused death and disease, both to practitioners and innocent bystanders. We rid our indoor spaces, not to mention our clothes, of vile smells and unbreath-

able air. So that was all good.Our reward was the outbreak of

another vice, less fatal and less smelly, but with social implications we are only now beginning to measure.

Short attention spans, people seem-ingly talking to themselves on buses, customized ringtones interrupting plays and concerts, some very weird driving – we are familiar with all of these and the consequences are no mystery.

We know far less about the conse-quences of everyone carrying a cam-era in their telephone. Thanks to the telephone camera, more people than ever before take photos. How does it affect people’s behaviour knowing that just about every person they meet is a photographer?

Well, for many people, not enough. Celebrities seem to indulge in just as many colourful activities as before, their lapses in judgment captured by amateur cellphone paparazzi. People sleep on the job, drive and text while cellphone vigilantes point and click.

So the cellphone camera seems to be no deterrent to bad behaviour. The ques-tion raised by the Vancouver riots is whether the cellphone camera actually encourages that behaviour.

To watch the proceedings on live TV,

you would certainly think so. Thug after thug, idiot after idiot jumped in front of the cameras to set something on fi re, break a window or just stand on a burn-ing car and yell.

Some strange quest for immortality may have been at play here. Who knows? What we do know, or at least suspect, is that the yahoos would not have been so enthusiastic had they not had a big audi-ence. And the audience might have gone home, making the situation much more manageable, if they hadn’t had cell-phone cameras and the urge to record history.

Things would have been so much bet-ter, if all they’d done was stand around and smoke.

Something else to blame on the cellphoneCOLUMN

OPINION

In the wake of the grandest royal wedding in three decades and the build-up to the fi rst offi cial visit to Canada by the Duke and Duchess of

Cambridge, the national conversation has once again turned to the relevance of the monarchy.

Why, asked my son, does Canada’s head of state live in another country? Followed by, how can I become king when I grow up? Sorry son, I said, the only way to become our country’s head of state is to be born into the right fam-ily, and ours isn’t it. He looked at me, puzzled.

Doubtless, there are conversations like this occurring in households across the country, and this is a good thing. Too often we forget to discuss the monarchy with our children and amongst our-selves, yet it is arguably the most impor-tant political institution in Canada.

Many Canadians don’t realize that beyond the romance and the ceremony, there is a solid political reason for main-taining our current system of govern-

ment. Besides being the most stable, long-lasting form of government in the world, the constitutional monarchy is essential to our too-often indefi nable Canadian culture.

“The Crown is interwoven into the fabric of what Canada is,” explains Matthew Rowe, a spokesperson for the Monarchist League of Canada. “It shapes our concept of law, and how we

look at government, and our history. If it wasn’t for the United Empire Loyalists, Ontario wouldn’t even exist. The Crown is so ubiquitous, sometimes you forget that it’s even there, but it’s the one thing that unites all Canadians, regardless of their politics or ethnicity.”

Republicans among us like to argue that the monarchy is too much of a throw-back to a feudal, class-based soci-ety, that an elected head of state is more

relevant in a meritocratic democracy. But Rowe rejects this notion.

“We like to believe in the fantasies that any American can become president,” argues Rowe. “But the effect in practice is quite the opposite because once you open up the top job to competition, to individual achievement, people start to do things to please their friends, to act in less-than honourable ways to get to the top.”

“Our monarchy is a cap on that ambi-tion,” says Rowe. “You can be the most powerful person in practice in this coun-try, as prime minister, but ultimately you report to someone.”

The monarch, on the other hand is determined by lottery of birth, thus Canada’s head of state begins life with everything a human being could want – money, power, and status.

“And the monarchy exists only by popular consensus,” says Rowe. “The institution must therefore make sure it only acts in the best interest of the state because it’s integral to its own survival.”

And while some believe having our head of state living abroad is a strange phenomenon, Rowe points to the power and stability of the Commonwealth. Can-ada’s place in it allows us to punch above our weight globally because it connects us to a long and deep history.

“Canada wasn’t invented on the back of a cocktail napkin yesterday,” says Rowe. “I reject the premise of the ques-tion that the process of ‘growing up’ as a country means shedding your past, shedding your history. Being part of this global family is a strength and it’s what makes Canada a great place.”

Residents and teams looking to book city facilities can now hop online to see what is avail-able.

From booking arena ice time to pools, gyms and meeting rooms, information on when city-owned facilities are avail-able is now only a click away at ottawa.ca. That’s a big improve-ment from the days when coach-es would have to fax the city a

request for available dates and times and wait for up to 48 hours before receiving a response, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney.

“Those days are behind us now,” said Tierney, who is also the chair of the city’s IT subcom-mittee. “We can now see it live.”

Residents also have the option to call or email the city to fi nd out when facilities are available and the city has a goal of responding within 24 hours. Once you fi nd out the availability for the facil-

ity you would like to book, the process of actually booking it gets a bit trickier. Online book-ing services won’t be available until October, Tierney said.

Although the phone number is not yet posted on the site, resi-dents and coaches should call 613-580-2595 or email [email protected] to reserve a facility. To access the online booking site, go to ottawa.ca, click on the Rec-reation and Culture tab, click on City facilities, Recreation facili-ties and then click Rentals.

A $59-million expansion of the O-Train system was ap-proved by city council on June 22.

The changes will add six new trains to the north-south line to increase the frequency of ser-vice from 15 minutes to eight minutes. The money will also go towards constructing two passing track sections.

Since being introduced in 2001, the O-Train has almost reached its ridership capacity. Increasing capacity is aimed at easing the pressure on the bus system during construction of the city’s east-west light-rail transit line, which is expected to begin in 2013.

Increasing the O-Train’s level of service will make the train the fastest commute option for a number of riders, including those who travel from the south

end through the core (those people could take a train to Bay-view Station more quickly than taking the bus) and people trav-elling from the west to Carleton University.

Gloucester-Southgate coun-cillor and transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans has also asked city staff to look into the costs of extending the O-Train line south to Leitrim. The transit commission will have a look at that report in the fall.

O-Train service expansion gets the go-ahead

City’s naming policy needs overhaul:

advisory committeeLAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

A group of concerned heritage advocates are calling on the city to fi x its broken commemorative naming policy.

In the wake of several recent controversies, the city’s arts, heritage and culture advisory committee is asking city council to overhaul the process it uses to choose who to honour by nam-ing a road, park or building after a person.

Brian Barrett is one of a doz-en members of the public who sit on the committee to advise city councillors and staff about issues related to the area of their expertise. He started to become concerned about how the city was deciding which names to apply to city facilities last year, when the issue of renaming Wel-lington Street came up.

With that topic set to come back to city hall this fall, and in the wake of a controversial road renaming in Bells Corners and an outcry over a proposed name for the city archives, Barrett de-cided to lead the charge.

“All of us on the committee feel very strongly that city staff and council and have ignored the policy that they already have,” Barrett said. “It’s not that they don’t have a policy, it’s just that it’s not enforced and it can be wiped away at the whim of a councillor.”

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he went around the naming policy for Lloyd Francis Boule-vard in order to do more public consultation. The policy calls for 60 days, while the councillor drew the process out for about a year.

If the policy was enforced consistently, there wouldn’t be much of a problem, Barrett said. The motion passed by the advi-sory committee recommends strengthening the enforcement of the existing policy, as well as some changes that would make the naming process more ro-bust.

Enforcement of the existing policy is something John Heney pleaded the advisory commit-tee to push for. Heney, the presi-dent of Friends of the City of Ottawa Archives, waited more than a year to hear back after he suggested a name for the new archives building, which was eventually rejected, and had a diffi cult time getting his hands on a copy of the policy itself.

“If you don’t follow your own procedures, your policy means

nothing,” Heney said to the arts, heritage and culture advisory committee during its June 20 meeting.

The committee also had a few recommendations to improve the way streets, buildings and parks are named.

Part of the issue is that the commemorative naming com-mittee does not include members of the public, nor any history or heritage experts, Barrett said. The advisory committee would like to see heritage experts, the city archivist, representative from the Algonquins of Ontario and others added to the panel.

Names shouldn’t simply be “something thrown up on a street sign,” Barrett said, they should mean something.

Developers’ tendency to name new streets after family mem-bers or themes is particularly grating to Barrett.

“There is enough history in this country that we don’t have to name our streets after wine. We’re not a wine-growing region – there is no connection to that,” Barrett said. “There is enough history in this country to be able to choose historic names.”

He said too often, we forget the ceremonial aspect of heritage.

“I think this just reinforces our history and help children and adults alike understand where we’re coming from and honour the people that we need to honour.”

The commemorative nam-ing process could also be an op-portunity to educate residents about local history, Barrett said. He suggested creating a list of possible names of historical signifi cance that could be re-ferred to when the city needs to name something. But a database would also serve as a repository of information about the history behind a street or building.

Another issue is the city’s practice of naming things after living people, something that groups such as the Ontario Geo-graphical Names Board an the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada advise against.

Barrett used a recent example to illustrate the risk.

“It’s dangerous because … what happens if you named a park or some other building af-ter the infamous colonel (Russell Williams),” Barrett said, refer-ring to the Ottawa military pi-lot who was convicted of sexual assault and murder in 2010. “He was a model armed forces per-sonnel, and then we fi nd out he is a serial killer.”

After breezing past the Toronto FC Academy squad on Saturday, the stage was set for Capital City FC to vault into fi rst place in the Canadian Soccer league the following afternoon.

But legs weary from three hours of soc-cer in 24 hours were unable to land the decisive blow on Sunday, June 26 at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility against the York Region Shooters, and the home side was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Capital City head coach Shaun Har-ris admitted fatigue played a factor in a match dominated for long stretches by his side, which remains in fourth place with the draw.

“I think we’re tired. I think at the end of the day, I think we were loads better than them. We were loads better in pos-session, we created all the opportunities in the game and a the day the ball hasn’t taken the right bounce for us. It’s un-lucky.”

The match was a relatively even affair in the fi rst half, with only a handful of chances between the sides.

In the second half, Capital City took a fi rm grip, creating a number of scoring chances, particularly through forward Sullivan Silva-Oliveriva who menaced the York Region defence from both fl anks.

The pacey Brazilian created Capi-tal City’s best opportunity less than 10

minutes from full time when he slipped through the Shooters defence and squared the ball for Junior Ellis, who was promptly brought down in the York Re-gion penalty area. Only after a good save by Shooters keeper Camilo Benzi on the ensuing penalty kick by Andre Manders

denied the home side a breakthrough.Benzi was solid throughout, turning

away four shots on goal.York Region was reduced to 10 men

with fi ve minutes remaining when mid-fi elder Mario Orestano was shown a red card, but Capital City were unable to

break down a resolute Shooters defence.Clint Irwin, Capital City goalkeeper

and captain, said his side was able to keep fresh thanks to building a large lead against Toronto, but they were unable to fi nish of the visitors who were com-ing off a 3-1 loss to the Montreal Impact Academy on Saturday.

“We got a little bit tired but we were still pushing on,” he said. “They started to fade a little bit but we have to just put teams away when you see that.”

Irwin, part of a defence that has only allowed four goals in the past seven games, notched his third clean sheet of the season.

“A clean sheet is always good,” he said. “I’d like it to be in a win, of course, but we can build on clean sheets and we know that if we create enough chances eventu-ally we’ll get a goal. If we get one and keep a clean sheet, we’ll win the game.”

The back-to-back games weren’t part of the plan for Capital City. The game against Toronto was rearranged for Sat-urday after torrential rains on Friday made the pitch at Terry Fox unplayable.

“We don’t like to play back to back,” said Harris. “We don’t have anything scheduled for back to back at home for that specifi c reason. It’s an unfortunate situation.”

For a team that missed the Central Can-ada Hockey League playoffs last season, there is a burgeoning sense of optimism surrounding the Ottawa Junior Senators this summer.

The club has a new coaching staff, in-cluding head coach and general manager Peter Ambroziak, a slew of young pros-pects secured in the recent CCHL draft and 16 players eligible from last year.

That sense of promise grew over the course of last weekend as the Jr. Senators hosted a prospect camp from June 24 to 26, which provided a chance for more than 60 players from Ontario, Quebec and the United States to show Ottawa’s coaches what they’ve got.

“The feedback from those who have been around for the last couple years is that they’re pretty excited because this is the most talented camp they’ve had in quite a few years,” said Ambroziak, who joined the team in April.

That’s no coincidence, he added. The team has tried to expand its scouting in an effort to locate and attract top talent from outside an area that is well scavenged by not only the other 11 clubs in the league, but major junior clubs as well.

“We put in that concerted effort to get some new faces in here,” Ambroziak said. “Kids from outside the area, outside the province, outside the country – we’ve got a lot of Americans in camp, and I think that’s a good thing.”

Despite the infl ux of players from out-side the Ottawa area, some of the players that stood out during the three-day long se-ries of on-ice sessions were several young forwards who played their hockey in East-ern Ontario. Ambroziak said he’d been particularly impressed by the team’s two bantam protected players, Hunter Racine and Ryan Kuffner, who both played for the Ottawa 67’s major bantam AAA last sea-son, and top draft pick Bruno Cheff, who was with the Eastern Ontario Wild major bantam AAA club.

With a number of talented forwards expected to be in the Jr. Senator’s main camp in August, Ambroziak wants to fo-cus his efforts on the blueline. Three of the team’s top fi ve picks in the May 20 draft were defencemen.

“We’ve got a good core coming back, but look at (Owen) Werthner and (Liam) Burtt, two of our more experienced guys, they’re going to be done after this year,” he said. “You don’t want to start next season (2012-2013) starting fresh, especially on defence, so we’re going to try to get some younger kids in the lineup this year.”

The club is also in the midst of its sum-mer fundraising efforts, which include a raffl e draw and an annual golf tourna-ment, hosted at eQuinelle Golf Club near Kemptville. The raffl e sees golf member-ships at eQuinelle and Thunderbird Golf and Country Club up for grabs. Funds raised go to support the non-profi t team’s development efforts.

Building on their recent success, Glebe-based rockers FullTippedSleeve will have the chance to return to the place where the band got their start two years ago when they take to the Cisco Bluesfest stage on Sun-day July 17.

The quintet, featuring vocal-ist Hannah Fraser, drummer, Charles Bergeron, bass player Owen Maxwell, and guitarists

Joe Fraser and Sean Mallia, are scheduled to perform at 2 p.m. at the Barney Danson Theatre, located inside the Canadian War Museum.

The group was recently added to the Bluesfest lineup.

“Playing at Bluesfest means hopefully opening more doors for us,” said the 16-year-old Fra-ser, a Canterbury High School student.

The band fi rst got together in 2009, when they joined the Bluesfest sponsored Be in the

Band program, which was open to children age 13 to 16.

The band said their fans can expect more energy and new ma-terial for their Bluesfest perfor-mance.

“We have new songs, new moves – it’s going to be a real party!” Fraser said.

She attributes their continued success to the band’s hard work and dedication, as well as the support of their fans.

“We feel honoured and so hum-bled by all of this,” said Fraser.

“We’re just kids, we shouldn’t be getting these opportunities, but we’ve worked really hard, so maybe that’s why.”

Though the group enjoys play-ing music, the mix of practice, performances and school work can prove to be challenging sometimes, especially during exam weeks.

“This week was particularly tough because we had exams to study for, other after school stuff - so we had to squeeze in practicing,” Fraser said. “When

you love something, you make it work.”

In a recent career highlight, the group was invited to Toronto in April to perform at The Rock-pile, an Etobicoke nightclub, in front of an enthusiastic audi-ence.

“We couldn’t believe the crowd’s reaction to our mu-sic,” said Fraser. “Those little things mean so much to an artist. You’re not always going to get the crowds, but when you do, you’re on top of the world.”

Canada Day in the ByWard Market – The Ultimate Canada Day CelebrationKatherine Solomon

ByWard Market BIA

Locals know about the ByWard Market’s pubs, restaurants, and boutiques, and farmers’ market – and it seems the knowledge has spread to international acclaim. On Friday July 1st, Canada’s 144th birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will get a taste of what we already know about on their visit to Ottawa.To get you in the mood for the ultimate Canada Day celebration in the ByWard Market, you must make Irving Rivers at 24 ByWard Market Square your fi rst stop. Michael Rivers, grandson of the business’ namesake, says there is something for everyone at every price point to get you ready for the Royal Visit and Canada Day. Alongside maple leaf-themed key chains, “Canada, Eh?” t-shirts, temporary tattoos, bandanas and socks, are Union Jack and Canada fl ags to show your true colours. “We even have Canadian toques if the weather gets cold,” says Michael.Once you are ready with your fl ags and Canada Day gear, head down to The Earl of Sussex Pub, at 431 Sussex Drive, where you can get a front row view of the day’s grandeur. “I recommend getting here early,” says bartender and Star of the City recipient Phil Guerrette, who will be tending bar this Canada Day.

“We’ll have a projector streaming a live feed from the CBC so you have a great view from wherever you sit, inside or out on the patio,” adds Phil. Here’s a little secret you may want to know about: you can see the Canada Day fi reworks from their patio. Why fi ght the crowds when you can sit back and sip a pint of one of the 20 beers on tap and enjoy the celebrations in comfort?On the sweeter side of things are special Canada Day cupcakes from The Cupcake Lounge at 6 ByWard Market Square, a stone’s throw from The Earl of Sussex Pub. Maple Cinnamon fl avoured treats are the special of the Day for Canada Day. For those who can’t get enough of Will and Kate, you won’t want to miss the limited edition Prince & Princess themed cupcakes. Claudia Arizmendi, Cupcake Lounge owner, can expect the tiny cakes to fl y off the shelves faster than they can be made.No matter what your celebration style, the ByWard Market has just what you need to make this the ultimate Canada Day. Whether you like to sit back on a patio, bring the family out for fresh-baked treats or dance the night away with your friends, the ByWard Market is the place to be for Canada’s biggest party!
