Palliative Care Suite OpensMarch 18, 2019
Geraldton District Hospitalis happy to announce, onMarch 18, 2019, the offi-cial opening of our newpalliative care suite, lo-cated on the acute carewing of the hospital.Thanks to the generosity ofone of our own in thecommunity. Mr. TomTweedie, who was a mem-ber of the Greenstone(Geraldton) community hisentire life, upon his death,donated a generousamount to the hospital tobe put towards patientcare. The CEO, Lucy Bonanno,worked with Mr. Tweedie’snephew, Derek Daneff,who resides in ThunderBay, to put the funds togood use for the entirecommunity. Mr. Daneffand his family felt, thathelping to contribute to anend of life suite (also
called the palliative careroom), so that the patient isreceiving specialized carein pain management, newequipment (for example,new mattress specific tothose suffering with sensi-tive skin breakage andbed sores, etc..) and forfamily, to be able to stayclose to their loved one, ina comfortable, home likeenvironment, really helpedshow his Uncle’s commit-ment to the community. Mr. Daneff was part of theprocess, and together withthe Hospice Committee,we were able to completeupgrades, purchase spe-cialized equipment, allother room items, andoverall, make the largesuite look like you arewalking into someone’shome as opposed tobeing in a hospital room. To qualify for admission to
this bed, there must be areferral and the patientmust meet the criteria laidout by the Northwest LHIN.The palliative care pro-gram is also funded by theNorthwest LHIN and wemust follow all the appro-priate standards and regu-lations. We are very grateful forthis generous donationfrom Mr. Tweedie’s estate,
and to Derek Daneff, forcontributing to the hospi-tal, so that for years tocome, many in the com-munity will reach their endof life care in a home-likeenvironment, located inthe hospital, where the pa-tient receives high level ofcare that is required duringthis very difficult and stress-ful time, with family aroundthem at all times.

there's still 4-5 ft of snowyet to be melted off thelawns and gardens at 153Hwy 584, where we calledhome until last Sept. I wellrecall each year, with gar-den seeds already pur-chased, hoes andcultivator cleaned/sharp-ened and ready for action,wishing for the snow to dis-appear. Of course it alwaysdid....eventually....at thespeed of a retreating gla-cier no less. By the end ofApril? Not likely, but per-haps the first week ofMay?...good luck to thenew owners there at 153,as well as the rest ofNakina's serious garden-ers! Unless Rotzy can find achunk of land somewherenearby my gardening daysmay be done....other thanwhat we can grow fromboxes/pots on our balcony.I better get looking!
Rotzy Tooth UpdateA lot of readers asking,
so here you go. Saw mynewest dentist Friday....he's#3....and he concurred withthe others (#1 and #2) thatthree teeth gotta comeout....two 'chompers' lowerleft side, as well as an im-pacted wisdom tooth be-hind them. And, by golly,dont'cha know this guy(#3) is actually gonna ex-tract them!....no more 'refer-rals'!!! ''So, when is hegoing to do this''?, you ask.

Anyway, signsof spring abound allaround, there are only acouple parts of what weresnow mounds remaininghere at 555 Harris Placeand we're one warmshower from the grassgreening up. Not so inNakina, where, in spite ofsome amazing temps(+5C to +9C) and full sun-shine last week, I'm betting

$29.95!! which I liked. I toldthe guy "I know ofLogitec*tm....I think our lastcomputer was one ofthose''. I asked him if Icould see the keyboard(rather than rely on the pic-ture on the box) so he re-moved it from thecarton.....and I carefullychecked out the keys,it/they seemed quite 'simi-lar', if not completely iden-tical, then he casuallyadded ''of course it's awireless''. ''Of course'' Ireplied....then said (to my-self) "Hey Toad, you'venever seen a wirelessmodel, let alone hook upand install one....and actu-ally use it''! Then I heard"Hey Toad, the damn thingonly costs $29.95....go forit!....living life in the fastlane, Bub"!! Long storyshort, I brought it homeand turned it over to Miz.Jo, the 'residentelectro/technical wizard'who installs stuff, whoplugs and unplugs every-thing, including our Christ-mas lights! Well she readthe instructions, separatedthe different types of bat-teries....the only thing Rotzyhad to do was open the lidfor the keyboard batteries,figure how they went in,and close it up. Bingo!And....what you're readingright now originated on aWIRELESS Logitech*tm key-board, which I am already'comfortable with', not tomention a wireless MickeyMouse, which my 'suspectpaws' move around much

Ontario Closes the Book onCap and Trade Carbon Tax EraMarch 25, 2019 Ministry ofthe Environment, Conser-vation and ParksOntario's government isworking for the people intaking the final step to endthe cap and trade carbontax once and for all in away that puts people firstand respects Ontario tax-payers.
The government has final-ized the compensation forthe eligible participants ofthe former program, whichamounts to a total of$5,090,000. This is consis-tent with the government'sinitial estimate of the finalcosts and commitment towind down the program ina responsible way thatminimizes impacts to hard-working taxpayers.
"This closes the book onthe cap and trade carbontax era in Ontario. But inone week, the federal gov-ernment will impose abrand-new job-killing car-bon tax, punishing thehardworking people of
Ontario," said PremierDoug Ford. "Our govern-ment remains part of agrowing coalition ofprovinces across Canadathat oppose this cash-grab,which raises the cost of es-sentials like home heatingand gasoline."
"While some cited that thewind down of cap andtrade would cost taxpayersbillions of dollars, we aredelivering on our commit-ment to an orderly andtransparent wind down ofthe cap and trade pro-gram that respects taxpay-ers," said Rod Phillips,Minister of the Environ-ment, Conservation andParks. "This will be the finalchapter in our promise toOntario families to elimi-nate the ineffective capand trade program, put-ting up to $260 per house-hold back in the pockets ofthe people of Ontario."
Notices of the final com-pensation were sent toparticipants who applied
under the Cap and TradeCancellation Act, 2018.
"Ontario remains commit-ted to reducing green-house gas emissions,fighting climate changeand protecting our envi-ronment without a carbontax," said Phillips. "Solutionssuch as our proposedemissions performancestandards, a key part ofour Made-in-Ontario Envi-ronment Plan, will help usachieve Ontario's share ofour emission reduction tar-gets, while recognizing theunique circumstances ofour economy. After all, youcan fight climate changewithout a carbon tax."
Quick Facts• On October 31, Ontariopassed the Cap andTrade Cancellation Act,2018 that officially re-moved Ontario’s cap andtrade program law fromthe books.• The total compensationamount is $5,090,000 fora total of 27 participants.
• The federal carbon taxwill cost a typical house-hold $258/year in 2019and will rise to $648 by2022.• The federal carbon taxon fuels takes effect inApril. It will increase theprice of gasoline in On-tario by 4.4 cents per litre.This will rise to 6.6 centsin 2020, 8.8 cents in2021, and 11.1 cents perlitre in April 2022.• The federal carbon taxwill increase the price ofnatural gas in Ontario by3.9 cents per cubic metre.This increase will rise to5.9 cents in 2020, 7.8cents in 2021, and 9.8cents per cubic metre inApril 2022.• As outlined in Ontario’senvironment plan, On-tario is committed tomeeting its share ofCanada’s 2030 target.From 2005 to 2016, On-tario reduced its emis-sions by about 22 percent.
Final chapter in the elimination of the ineffective cap and trade program
Ford Government Taking BoldAction to Fix Hydro Mess
Comprehensive reform to conservation programs,Ontario Energy Board and end of Fair Hydro PlanMarch 21, 2019 Ministry ofEnergy, Northern Develop-ment and MinesTORONTO - Ontario's Gov-ernment for the People isreforming the electricitysystem to reduce costs,drive efficiencies andlower electricity rates formedium and large em-ployers."Our government is build-ing an electricity systemthat works for the people,and that starts by cleaningup the mess we inherited,"said Rickford. "We are tak-ing a comprehensive,pragmatic approach tobuilding the modern, effi-cient, and transparentelectricity system that thepeople of Ontario de-serve."Today, the Hon. Greg Rick-ford introduced the Fixingthe Hydro Mess Act, 2019and other regulatory initia-tives which would, ifpassed:Find savings of up to $442million by refocusing anduploading electricity con-
servation programs to theIndependent Electricity Sys-tem Operator (IESO)Overhaul the Ontario En-ergy Board to make theregulatory system more ef-ficient and accountable,while continuing to protectconsumersHold residential electricitybills to the rate of inflationWind down the Fair HydroPlan and as a result savebillions of dollars in bor-rowing costsIntroduce a new, transpar-ent, on-bill rebate on con-sumer bills to replace theFair Hydro Plan.By uploading the deliveryof conservation programsto the IESO, the province isensuring a consistent ap-proach to conservationacross the province andavoiding unnecessary du-plication in administrationcosts. Because of thischange, local distributioncompanies will no longerreceive up to $150 millionin bonus payments forachieving targets, pay-
ments that did nothing tohelp low-income familiesor seniors lower theirmonthly electricity bills."We're continuing to findhundreds of millions ofdollars in savings," saidRickford. "These savingswill help lower rates forlarge employers, allowingthem to invest in their com-pany to create more goodjobs, and reduce the debtleft to Ontario families by15 years of ideological de-cisions."
Quick Facts• The government is com-mitted to lowering hydrobills by 12 per cent.Today’s announcementbuilds on actions taken todate, including overhaul-ing executive compensa-tion at Hydro One andterminating more than750 unnecessary renew-able energy contracts,avoiding $790 million incosts.• The conservationchanges are expected to
lead to savings formedium and large em-ployers. For example, alarge employer, consum-ing 50,000 megawatthours a month, wouldsee a bill reduction ofabout $30,000 permonth, allowing them toreinvest these savings inmodern equipment orexpansion to create newjobs.• The proposed overhaulto the Ontario EnergyBoard (OEB) was in-formed by the recom-mendations of the OEBModernization ReviewPanel, stakeholders, andregulatory experts. Thechanges reflect bestpractices and support in-dependent decision-making.• The Financial Accounta-bility Office estimatedthat the previous govern-ment’s Fair Hydro Planadded almost $4 billionin borrowing costs forOntario families, seniorsand businesses.

The RICLparticipates in strategicplanning and program de-sign, provides expert advi-sory panels relating toIndigenous patient cancerjourney and primary care,participates in peer andcommunity education andtraining, and leads en-gagement with health careprovidersSusan Bale has been theRICL’s Assistant in Preven-tion and Screening Serv-ices for over five years. “InNorthwestern Ontario, 69First Nations communitiesare supported throughoutthe cancer continuum,which includes prevention,treatment, and palliativecare,” said Bale. “Consider-ing this large region oftenmakes travel difficult, it isimportant for us to be ad-vocates for Indigenouspeople, including reducingbarriers to accessinghealth care services asmuch as possible.”In most Indigenous lan-guages there is no termi-nology for the wordcancer, which makes edu-cation around the topicmuch more important. Thehistorical and cultural bar-
riers to health care (e.g.,language barriers, isola-tion, limited access tohealthcare resources, etc.)that many Indigenouspeople face could impactthe receptiveness to, andparticipation in cancer ed-ucation, prevention anddelivery of care. The RICLaddresses some of thesebarriers to improve serv-ices and access for Indige-nous people in our region. Prevention and ScreeningServices is actively recruit-ing to fulfill the position ofthe RICL.

5 ways to enjoy meals for one(NC) There are more one-person households inCanada than any otherkind, according to the mostrecent census.
While living alone mightbe a choice, it may also bethe result of a life change,such as losing a spouse orrelocating. But experts sayit can be a positive experi-ence that allows us toenjoy our own company.
As the stomach is knownas a window to the heart,meal prep offers easy op-portunities for self-fulfill-ment. Here are some tipsfor helping this happen:
Plan ahead. Take time toreview your schedule andunderstand your needs forthe week. Once these de-tails are confirmed, youwill be better suited toplan. Make note of whenyou’d like to eat out ororder in.
Shop smart. Once youplan your meals, make alist with the required quan-tities. Shopping smartmeans buying items thatwill last all week and just
enough to ensure nothingspoils. Keeping a balanceof canned, frozen andfresh foods will help youget the most out of yourfood.
Prep ahead. Pick one dayto prepare core mealitems for the week. Invest-ing time up front greatlycuts down the overall timeneeded. For example, ifyou’re a dessert lover,make cookie dough in ad-vance and freeze singlecookie-sized portions.
Treat yourself. Pick a dayeach week to create an ex-perience. Make your mealan event and create abeautiful place-setting withyour favourite flowers andmusic. You could treatyourself and order in.
“A great alternative, partic-ularly if you have limitedmobility, is ordering from ameal delivery service,” saysJim Panoff, branch man-ager at Arbor Memorial.“Heart to Home Meals andthe Canadian Red CrossMeals on Wheels programcan deliver fresh, made-to-order meals straight toyour home.”
Invite a friend. Plan a get-together with friends andfamily. Much like eating abalanced meal is good foryour body, finding a bal-ance between the joys ofeating alone and with oth-ers is good for your emo-tional health. Look foropportunities to share theexperience.

informationLakehead University formallyadopts the Okanagan Charter
March 20, 2019 – ThunderBay and Orillia, Ont.
Lakehead University isplacing the health andwell-being of students, fac-ulty and staff at the fore-front with the formaladoption of the OkanaganCharter: An InternationalCharter for Health Promot-ing Universities and Col-leges.
The Charter was signed onWednesday by Dr. MoiraMcPherson, Lakehead’sPresident and Vice-Chan-cellor, during a specialevent held at the Univer-sity’s Thunder Bay and Oril-lia campuses.
An outcome of the 2015International Conferenceon Health Promoting Uni-versities and Colleges, theCharter calls on post-sec-ondary institutions toembed health and well-being into all aspects ofcampus culture, includingthe development of poli-cies, procedures and prac-tices.
This commitment to stu-
dent, faculty and staffhealth and well-being in-side and outside of theclassroom is an essentialelement of the University’s2018-2023 Strategic Plan.
“We recognize that pro-moting health and well-being is necessary toachieving our vision ofproviding a transformativeuniversity experience,which is why LakeheadUniversity has taken thestep to adopt the Okana-gan Charter,” explained Dr.McPherson.
“Exceptional scholarshipand student potential aresustained by the mentaland physical health of ourpeople, and a healthy andsupportive campus envi-ronment. We want toembed this notion into allaspects of campus cultureand across operations,”she added.
As part of the adoption ofthe Charter, Lakehead Uni-versity has committed todeveloping a comprehen-sive, campus-wide Well-ness Strategy that will
support, encourage andinspire a culture of healthand well-being for all whostudy and work at the uni-versity.
Andrea Tarsitano, Vice-Provost (Students) andRegistrar, is co-lead of thenewly formed Wellness Ad-visory Committee that willbe leading the develop-ment of the strategy.
“Our goal is to promotethe idea that health andwellness isn’t just the re-sponsibility of one particu-lar department, but thatadvancing health andwellness needs to be acommitment across all dis-ciplines and departmentswithin our university com-munity,” she said.
“There will be many oppor-tunities for students, faculty
and staff to get involvedand provide their visions ofwhat a healthy campuslooks like.”
Consultations for Lake-head University’s WellnessStrategy will begin in thecoming months.

March 22, 2019 Ministry ofthe Environment, Conser-vation and Parks
To mark World Water Day,Ontario's government isworking for the people toprotect the water qualityand ecosystems of theGreat Lakes as part of itscommitment in the Made-in-Ontario EnvironmentPlan. On April 23, RodPhillips, Minister of the En-vironment, Conservationand Parks, will convenethe Great LakesGuardians' Council, inmemory of JosephineMandamin, to discussemerging issues aroundthe Great Lakes. The coun-cil meeting will address ex-cess road salt and seweroverflows into our water-ways and inform the gov-ernment's review ofOntario's Great LakesStrategy and the negotia-tion of a new Canada-On-tario Great Lakes
Agreement.
"Our government is com-mitted to protecting On-tario's precious lakes,waterways and groundwa-ter sources. Forums like thecouncil provide an impor-tant role in identifying pri-orities for action such asplastic pollution, stormwa-ter and harmful algae,"said Rod Phillips, Ministerof the Environment, Con-servation and Parks. "I lookforward to working withthe council and hearingfrom partners around thetable on how we cantackle the pressures ourwater resources are facingand ensure we protect thepristine beauty of ourGreat Lakes."
Convening the GreatLakes Guardians' Councilis part of the government'sMade-in-Ontario Environ-ment Plan to protect ourair, land and water, pre-
vent and reduce litter andwaste, support Ontariansto continue to do theirshare to reduce green-house gas emissions, andhelp communities andfamilies increase their re-silience to climate change.The plan will help protectthe Ontario we know andlove, ensuring that its pris-tine beauties and strongcommunities can be en-joyed now and in the fu-ture.
The meeting will honourJosephine Mandamin, anAnishinaabe grandmother,Elder, water protector, andactivist. In 2003, she co-founded Mother EarthWater Walk, circumnavigat-ing the shores of all fiveGreat Lakes, a total dis-tance of more than17,000 km. Currently,Josephine's total kilome-tres walked for the waterhas been tallied at over25,000 kilometers. In the
role of Chief Commis-sioner of the AnishinabekNation Women's WaterCommission, Josephinewas a predominant con-tributor at the Great LakesGuardians' Council.
Quick Facts• The Great Lakes providedrinking water to morethan 70 per cent of On-tarians and their water-sheds are home to morethan 4,000 species offish, birds and other living
things.• Ontario’s more than250,000 lakes, includingthe Great Lakes, containabout one fifth of theworld’s fresh water.• This year’s World WaterDay theme is “Leaving noone behind” as part ofthe UN’s Sustainable De-velopment Goals. Theaim is to ensure thatwater is sustainably man-aged and available forall, including marginal-ized groups.
