One of the city’s best-maintained community rinks is working towards becoming the first to operate above and beyond the city’s traditional skat-ing season.

The Rockcliffe community rink has more than 120 volunteers who help flood, shovel and maintain the out-door rink, which is operational typi-cally before many other rinks in the city thanks to the Rockcliffe Hosers.

Promoting healthy lifestylesThe Centretown Community Health Centre held its first Indigenous Fair on Jan. 14, which welcomed 12 par-ticipating Aboriginal organizations and groups from across the city, including Andrea Easton and Carmen Prégent from the Métis Nation of Ontario, to promote the organization’s healing and wellness programs. Aside from each organization sharing information about what they do, there was lunch, throat signing, drumming and dancing.

Skating season at the Va-nier community rink is off to a slow start this season.

Located beside the Riche-lieu-Vanier Community Cen-tre, volunteer Karen Hogan said creating a good solid skating surface has proved dif-ficult because of both the tem-peramental weather and lack of helping hands to shovel and flood the rink at night.

“We are in desperate need of volunteers for the rink,” Hogan said. “We need people willing to flood, shovel, any-thing really.”

Hogan said she and a only a few others have been working hard to get the rink ready, add-ing at the last meeting the rink volunteers held, only three members showed.

That is not to say there

aren’t more volunteers in the community, but Hogan said they can always use more.

What little volunteers the group has, they are ambitious to get this year’s skating sea-son started.

“We are hopeful it will be ready soon,” she said.

Volunteers are asked to shovel and flood the rink at night when temperatures dip below -4 C.

Hogan said interested in-dividuals can contact her at [email protected] for more information or to volun-teer.

As the concept of family evolves in our community, so does the definition of a foster parent. Foster parents come from a variety of different backgrounds that reflect the diversity of the children who need our care.

One thing we know from talking to foster parents is that most people become foster parents after hearing first hand of another foster parent's experience. It's a great message, and shows how rewarding fostering can be for parents and children alike.

“Fostering has enriched us and our children in ways we could not imagine it would,” says one couple who have been fostering for 15 years.

“It's the greatest thing we have ever done as a whole family,” adds another family, who have biological children as well. “If you are a person on this earth, you can do it! It's not about us; it's about the children we can help. I wish everyone could foster for one year so that children in need would never have to look for a family.”

For information about foster care, please contact the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa at 613-742-1620 ext. 1 or visit www.casott.on.ca.

The city has announced plans to give a facelift to an area be-tween Rideau Street and Laurier Avenue.

The plan is part of the larger redevelopment of several ongo-ing projects between Rideau to the north, Laurier Avenue to the south, Colonel By Drive to the west and Waller Street to the east. Those projects include the construction of the Confed-eration Line light rail project, the revitalization of the Rideau Centre, the Ottawa Art Gallery expansion and Arts Court rede-velopment and ongoing devel-opment at the University of Ot-tawa campus.

According to the city, tim-ing of these projects allows it to create a unified, functional, and walkable public space.

The plans, which are avail-able for review at ottawa.ca/rideauartsplan, focus on wider sidewalks with street furniture and landscaping. Cycling in-frastructure is also being taken into consideration and Nicholas

Street is being proposed to be converted into a pedestrian mall between Rideau and Besserer streets.

The city said that some of the plans proposed will be imple-mented this year, working in coordination with ongoing con-struction with the Confederation Line and the shopping centre.

Area residents can send in comments and provide feedback about the project until Feb. 10, with the plan sched-uled to be presented at the city’s Planning Committee in mid-February.

Funding for the project will be consid-ered by council as part of the 2015 budget process.

Abuse And sexuAl Violence in our community

JAnuAry 2015

Roughly one in three women reading this article will experience sexual assault at some point in her life. Yet, fewer than ten percent of sexual assaults are reported to police. Fear of violence knows no bounds of gender or age, and almost two-thirds of gay and trans students feel unsafe at school.

These statistics are unacceptable. Every person in Ontario has the right to live free from violence and harassment in their home, workplace and community. We still have a long way to go.

This year, our province is moving forward with a renewed commitment to fight gender-based violence, discrimination and harassment. Our government’s new public education campaign will challenge norms and behaviors around sexual violence and harassment. Its goal is to minimize hurtful behavior, skepticism and myths around sexual violence while raising awareness of the services and supports available to victims in the legal, health and mental health systems.

As part of this effort, Premier Wynne has asked me to review current practices and improve support for victims in the criminal justice system. While Canada has strong rape shield laws, many victims who testify in court experience re-victimization. It is our duty as a society to make sure our legal system is a place where no one is excluded. My recommendations, if approved, will become part of an action plan that our government will put into motion by March 8, International Women’s Day.

In our last budget, the government invested $14.5 million over three years to support front-line services that help women and children facing abuse. In addition to this commitment, we are proud to support Talk4Healing, Ontario’s only women’s helpline that supports Aboriginal women throughout Northern Ontario.

I hope this new campaign will push the limits of our comfort and will challenge us to think in new ways. We owe it to everyone around us – male, female, gay, straight, cisgender and transgender. Our society will only become a safer place when we choose to make it so. It is up to each and every one of us to be a part of this process.

City announces plans to improve Rideau, Laurier area streetsFeedback sought from area residents

Continued from page 1

The group of volunteers from the neighbourhood who can spend up to two hours a night, sometimes in the frigid cold, to ensure children can skate on the rink the next morning.

But the community is look-ing to make this rink even bet-ter.

The plan is to build a field house and permanent concrete pads and boards for a rink in the winter and sports court in the summer.

Montgomery said building the field house and having a skating rink controlled by cooling cement pads would optimize the skating season for residents in the area.

“We think we can go from

November to mid-March with a permanent rink – all without the city’s help,” said Brian Montgomery, head of the Rockcliffe Hosers. “Now we are at the mercy of waiting for the city to put up the boards and drop off the trailer so we can have electricity.”

The plans for a field house are being made after the for-mer rink shack, which used to

exist on the property, was torn down by the Ottawa-Carleton School Board due to safety concerns.

Montgomery started a cam-paign in 2011 to build the rink and facility. In order to ensure a permanent rink was indeed what the community wanted, the group conducted an in-dependent census in 2012. The census surveyed all 650 homes in Rockcliffe.

Montgomery said there were 250 responses and 77 per cent of the homes were in favour of the project.

“We were very, very pleased with the responses,” he said. “There is clearly a need for a recreation facility in the neighbourhood.”

After the consultation pro-cess, the Hosers received sup-port from the Rockcliffe Park Residents Association to sup-port the rink project last year.

A once informal group of rink rats, the Hosers applied to become a corporation shortly after and Montgomery said they expect to receive chari-table designation this year.

The rink will be similar in size and style as the Ottawa Senators Foundation com-munity rink in Lowertown at Jules Morin Park, with a concrete base and permanent boards.

In the winter months, cool-ing pads would allow the community rink to open as soon as the temperature drops below 10 C and could remain operational until late March, even April if the temperature allows. The addition of a field house will offer electricity and change rooms and washrooms year-round.

The plans do not come

cheap – the project will cost $980,000 to build both the field house and the cooling pads. Having already applied for a grant with the city called the Community Partnership Major Capital Program, Mont-gomery said the village will need to only raise $490,000.

The Hosers began officially fundraising in November, with local students visiting all 650 homes in Rockcliffe to drop off pledge forms. Montgom-ery said the group is asking for a donation of at least $490 from each household and so far, he said he has been pleas-antly surprised.

“Cheques are coming in more than a trickle, less than a deluge but most are coming in are for the full amount,” he said.

When people donate, homes have the opportunity to place a “We Support the Rockcliffe Rink Project” sign on their lawn.

“I would like to have ev-eryone in the neighborhood to donate, because it is for the neighborhood,” Montgomery

said. And true to form, the plan

is to make the rink first and foremost a community space. The goal is to raise both funds for the construction as well as additional operational costs so the group will not need to rent out time to cover costs.

There is also Hoser swag available for purchase -- toques, sweatshirts and sweat-pants residents can buy which have the Rockcliffe Hosers logo on it. So far, $2,000 worth of merchandise has been sold for the project.

Montgomery said they will release a retro line -- a line with the original Hosers logo, as well the group plans to open a Shopify store for the cause.

Aside from swag, there will also be monthly fundraising events which will be hosted by different Hoser members.

Montgomery said he hopes to reach their fundraising goal by the summer and receive ap-provals for construction from the city in the fall, with con-struction could begin as early as next as spring.

Lifestyle - While it may

seem like spring has just

sprung, summer will be here

before you know it. According

to the education experts at Ox-

ford Learning, that means that

it’s time to start thinking about

summer learning plans.

“Summer learning is a criti-

cal – and often overlooked

– part of students’ learning.

By planning for summer learn-

ing now, parents will help

their children avoid the sum-

mer learning brain drain,” says

Nick Whitehead, founder and

CEO of Oxford Learning.

He offers these fi ve reasons

why planning for summer

learning is so important:

1. Summer is going to be

here soon. Spring may have

just begun, but before long,

students will be studying for

exams and handing in their fi -

nal term projects, which means

that it’s not too early to think

about what kids are going to be

doing this summer.

2. Summer can undo what

children are learning right

now. Without maintaining

learning momentum and study

skills over the summer break,

students easily forget every-

thing they’re working hard to

learn right now, which means

that next year, students need

to repeat the same workbooks

and materials they are learning

right now.

3. Summer can have an im-

pact on how children learn next

year. After a summer off, it can

take kids up to three months

to get back into the swing of

learning. That represents a

huge amount of wasted learn-

ing opportunities, and it means

that students are not up to their

potential from as early as the

fi rst day back to class.

4. Kids want to learn in the

summer. Research in summer

learning studies shows that 56

per cent of students want to be

involved in a summer program

that helps them keep up with

summer schoolwork or prepare

for the next grade.

5. Summer programs fi ll up

fast. Most programs are already

accepting applications and tak-

ing reservations for summer

enrolment. Schools, camps,

and supplemental tutoring fa-

cilities are no exception.

Lifestyle - Specialized sum-mer camps are now allowing young artists to develop their passion on an intensive basis.

Summer art camps offer classes which are both educa-tional and lots of fun. Children can develop their skills and broaden their interests while being supervised by compe-tent instructors, all in an enter-taining atmosphere.There are many different

facets to the world of visual arts. At summer camp, young people can learn about kinds of media that they have fewer op-portunities to explore at home or school, such as China ink, pastels, charcoal, oil paint, and clay. They acquire theoretical notions and draw inspiration from the great masters of the art world. Some art camps even organize an exhibit at the end of the camp so that friends and family can see all the cre-ations.

Theatre is a great way to break out of one’s shell. At summer camp, children will be able to set aside their shy-ness and learn to express themselves in public. They will improve their

memorization skills and they will also be able to study dif-ferent acting methods.Dramatic art includes many

behind-the-scenes activities, and during theatre camp chil-dren will be introduced to many of them, including lights and sound, costumes, makeup, and stage design.The performing arts are

also a great way for children to

discover their talents, develop a work ethic, and build self-esteem. All branches of the performing arts teach students about teamwork.At a performing arts camp,

children are given the oppor-tunity to work on a project throughout their stay and then have the very rewarding expe-rience of presenting it in front of family and friends.

‘Clearly a need for a recreation facility’

MICHeLLe NASH/MeTROLANd

Rockcliffe Hosers, a group of parents who help maintain the community rink are currently fundraising to build permanent cement pads and a field house for the commu-nity. Donors who have supported the $490,000 fundrais-ing initiative are placing We Support the Rockcliffe Rink Project signs on their lawn.


A new cooking class at the Vanier community resource centre aims to help single men and seniors meet new people.

The Vanier Community Service Centre has announced it will offer free cooking classes beginning this month for single men and single se-niors. The focus will be on nutrition, cooking for one and understanding how to shop wisely, but added the centre’s community liaison offi cer, Jean-Michel Rousseau will also help isolated men and seniors make new friends.

“The whole point of doing the ses-sions for the community is not only to teach them to cook for themselves, but to break isolation and help them meet other people in the community and another way for them to social-ize,” Rousseau said.

The centre plans to offer three ses-sions this year and the classes will operate on opposite Thursdays, with the fi rst seniors class to begin on Jan. 22 at 1:30 p.m.

The men’s class will be held the following Thursday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the centre.

To fund the program, the centre

applied and received a Community Foundation of Ottawa grant.

But beyond the the grant, Rous-seau said local businesses have stepped up to offer both monetary as well as in-kind support.

Local restaurant Bobby’s Table agreed to pay for the food supply for the men’s cooking classes.

In addition to providing food, the restaurant will host a couple of spe-cial sessions for the men at its Mon-treal Street location.

Loblaws will also host a session at its community kitchen for both class-es and its in-house nutritionist will take the group around the store and help them understand how to shop wisely, how to read food labels and how to make better choices such as low-sodium products. The cooking session will follow the tour.

“I think it will be fun for the par-ticipants to learn how to cook for one individual,” Rousseau said. “We will really focus on how to cook proper portions and how to preserve and store the food.

Rousseau said other local busi-

nesses and organizations are offer-ing in-kind donations, such as local fi nancial planning non-profi t organi-zation, Entraide Budgetaire, who will host a workshop on how the students can budget properly for food for one person.

Ottawa Public Health will host a workshop on nutrition with the stu-dents and Canadian Tire in Over-brook is offering a discount on some of its cooking equipment, which Rousseau said his is trying to work into prizes for some of the graduat-ing students.

After completing the three month course, each student will receive a

recipe book. Rousseau said there is still space

for its January class as well as inter-ested individuals can sign up for its spring course, which begins in April or its fall course, which will begin in September. To register or to fi nd out more information about the new course, contact Rousseau at [email protected].

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Awareof Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over

33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home

inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared

which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and

what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a

number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home

inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items

could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that

you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the

building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly

experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a

reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking

for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little

problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are

listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass

Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues

involved.

www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded

message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free

1-800-217-1897 and enter 2003. You can call any time, 24 hours a

day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to

ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Published weekly by:

We often lament chang-ing times, because times change from what we have liked.

When a bookstore shuts down, a depressingly familiar event in this town, there is a chorus of lament from book-lovers. When a familiar smoke shop shuts down, as Brittons did last week, the media are full of lamentations from former customers.

It’s all sincere. We like little bookstores. We hate it when they disappear. We love smoke shops, the ones with magazines and newspapers from all around the world. We want them always to be there.

But then, when was the last time we were in one? And don’t we read newspapers from all over the world online now? And don’t we buy online

subscriptions to those magazines? And didn’t we quit smoking?

Not that it will make any of us feel better, but it’s helpful, in facing up to change, to recognize that change isn’t some disembodied force that swoops down on us, closing book stores. Change comes, at least in part, from decisions we make. We could probably have stopped some of it, or at least slowed it.

Some of the decisions we make are smart ones, some are just lazy

and some are mixed. For example, it was smart to quit smoking, even though one of the functions of a smoke shop is to sell smokes.

But, buying magazine subscrip-tions online? Well, we could argue that we are saving trees by cutting down the volume of paper we pur-chase. But it could also be said that we were too lazy to support the store that sold those magazines. Maybe we didn’t think about the consequences.

The same goes for bookstores. First we moved away from the small-er stores to the big chains, because of greater variety and discounted prices. Our loyalty to the little shop on the corner lasted until we saw the fi rst “40 per cent-off” sticker.

Whatever loyalty we had to the big chains began to dissipate when

we saw greater variety was to be had from Amazon and we didn’t have to go outside. And then there was another blow from progress, the invention of the ebook, which caused many of us to move away from printed books altogether in favour of stuff you can read on gadgets.

It wasn’t some dark force that caused all this. It was us.

We want things to be as cheap and as convenient as possible. Sure, there are corporations and governments that encourage us to indulging our little weaknesses. But it wasn’t a government, and probably wasn’t en-tirely corporate vileness that caused us to lose downtown movie theatres. It was people who wanted free park-ing at the suburban megaplex or a DVD in the comforts of home.

Similarly, it isn’t government and corporations that are causing the traf-fi c unpleasantness we fi nd ourselves in daily. It’s us, deciding we don’t

like to wait for the bus.This is quite a bit of scolding to

take out of the closing of one little smoke shop, but there we are. We could put it in our pipe and smoke it, as the saying goes, if we could fi nd a place to buy one.

It seems Ottawa is once again picking up the provincial government’s slack, but this time it’s at the municipality’s request.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is proposing the city take the lead on a proactive measure designed to help young gang members break their criminal ties when they are released from jail.

After meeting with Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Jan. 12 to discuss a spike in gang violence across the city in 2014, Watson promised to fi nd funding in the municipal budget to pay for a new “exit strategy” program.

Keep in mind, this is coming from a mayor who has pledged to cap annual budget increases at two per cent during his four-year term of offi ce.

City hall is obviously feeling the pressure to do something after the city was rocked with a record 49 shootings – many of them gang related – last year.

A few councillors had even suggested providing money to hire more offi cers, giving Bordeleau the opening to break a police hiring freeze.

But the police chief says he has no intention of

requesting additional funds, and instead is beefi ng up the guns and gangs section by using offi cers from other units.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution, but then again, the spike in gang-related violence is a temporary situation, not a continuing trend, accord-ing to Bordeleau.

We won’t see immediate results from the mayor’s suggested exit strategy for gang members – this is a long term solution which will only bear fruit over the years to come.

As laudable a program as the exit strategy may be, we question the reason why the funding must come from the city’s coffers.

Any program attacking the rate of re-offence among young offenders should fall under the purview of the provincial or federal governments.

We applaud city council for taking the initiative, but perhaps the mayor should consider making a phone call to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a local MPP and, co-incidentally, also the minister of community safety and correctional services.

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Airport Parkway and Lester Road Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation requirements related to growth in the surrounding communities and airport lands as illustrated in the key map.

There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide an overview of the study progress to date including an overview of existing conditions, reconfirming the project need and justification for widening as well as an evaluation of alternative solutions. Your participation in Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternative designs, leading to a Recommended Plan which will be presented to City Council for approval.

Information about the study is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/airportparkway. The Open House information will also be available on the web site.

Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or e-mail the Project Lead below before the event.

How many of you are using your exercise bike as a clothes hanger? Come on,

raise your hands.We’re three weeks into

the New Year, so resolutions should be pretty much out the window. With the cold weather, you should be back to eating cheese by the kilo, drinking red on a Wednesday and napping, instead of exer-cising, after work.

But we’re going about these resolutions all wrong – New Year’s or otherwise. Our brains are like dissident little children: The last thing they want to do is listen to what we have to say.

I think I’ve got a solution. First, forget the Band-Aid approach. You say you’re go-ing to the gym fi ve times per week? Your brain tricks you. You start out strong the fi rst week. The following week you make it maybe four times, then two by the third week. Now you feel like a failure. It’s easier to dive into buttery popcorn while binge-watching Breaking Bad than to exercise.

So what are we doing wrong? It’s worth consider-ing something I wrote about in the last issue – the teenage brain. To summarize, teen brains are highly susceptible to behavioural reinforcement. In the early years of adolescence, we’re still developing our executive functions. Our brains are also busy making connec-tions, with channels thickening at a rapid pace. The habits

we create as teenagers are the ones we’ll carry through for a lifetime. Scary stuff.

But here’s the good news. Although adolescence is a time of rapid brain develop-ment, our adult brains remain plastic. That means we have the ability to retrain them, to reinforce positive connections in the hopes of eliminating the bad ones. The problem with New Year’s resolutions is they too often focus on the latter, phrased in the negative: Eat less junk food, lose weight, or stop watching TV before bed.

If you’re like me, even if you do set positive goals, you may have a tendency to be all or nothing. When I decide to do yoga, I don’t just do a class; I need to buy an unlimited monthly trial. I’m very opti-mistic about the capabilities of my future self, who will surely head out to the studio after dinner each evening. As a result, I haven’t been to a single class in 14 years.

Let’s try a little experiment. Say you want to quit smoking. Positively, you want to breathe easier and be healthier. Forget about eliminating the negative channels for now – the ones that drive you to smoke and

feel like a stinky loser that may die any day. Instead, resolve to reinforce positive behaviours in a limited way: I’m going cross-country skiing once per week.

Once you succeed in estab-lishing a pattern, add some-thing else to the mix. Maybe it’s simple like drinking more water. Don’t drown yourself in water. Just plan to take an extra sip a couple of times per day. See where that takes you.

Humans are creatures of habit. The more we do something, the more our brain wants us to do it. Breaking habits is hard. Creating new ones is also hard, but if you set reasonable expectations, it’s more possible.

Don’t overdo it. Set a goal to run – or go to the gym, or eat kale, or pray – once or twice per week. See if you start craving a run on your days off. If you do, indulge. If not, at least you’ve run twice this week.

I’ll let you know how it goes for me. My initial resolution was to become a cross-country ski champion by March, but I’ve decided a jaunt every Sunday is enough for my little brain for the moment.

Shopping local has a whole new meaning to Glebe Spree winner Kathy Dobbin.

The long-time Glebe resi-dent won the grand prize for the annual holiday contest, taking home a cheque for $10,000, which she said she can’t wait to spend in the neighbourhood.

“I love shopping in the Glebe because I like being able to walk to the various stores in my neighbour-hood and I know a lot of the store keepers to say hello to. It’s more personal,” Dobbin said.

The Glebe BIA announced Dobbin as a winner on Jan. 12.

The fourth-annual Glebe Spree campaign was launched by the Glebe Business Im-provement Area on Nov. 15 and gave people who choose to do their shopping along the section of Bank Street south of the Queensway the chance to win $10,000.

The contest ran until Dec. 31, rewarding all Glebe shop-pers with a sticker for every $20 spent at stores in the Glebe.

Executive director for the BIA, Andrew Peck, said he thinks there is no one more deserving of this year’s

prize. Dobbin has lived in the

Glebe for more than 40 years and describes herself as an active community member. She sings in the St. Matthew’s Anglican Church choir and also volunteers to read to the visually impaired.

The shopping contest began in 2011 to encourage shopping along Bank Street after the city’s extensive reconstruction of the road-way.

Glebe residents Will Raymond won the spree in its inaugural year, while Mary Pal and Sylvie Reichert are also past winners of the con-test.

Canadian sports will be front and centre at this year’s Winterlude Festival.

The festival kicks off on Jan. 30 and to mark the year of sport in Canada, visitors will be invited to admire ath-letics-themed snow sculptures in Confederation Park, play soccer in the snow with the official mascot of the FIFA Women�s World Cup Canada, Shuéme, as well as have the opportunity to learn more about other activities at the winter sports and games play-ground in Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau.

In addition to celebrating sports, the festival will also pay tribute to the 50th anni-versary of the Canadian Flag with a flag raising ceremony in Confederation Park on Feb. 15 as well as celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sir John A. Macdon-

ald, which will take place at Jacques-Cartier Park.

Cracking up the Capital, a comedy festival will take place during Winterlude and participate in a number of festival activities, including attempting to break the Guin-ness world record attempt to build the most snowmen in an hour at Lansdowne Park. The number to beat is 1,300 and according to Guinness, a snowman is defined as at least three feet tall with two eyes, a nose and arms.

Snow Art snow sculptures will be on display in the By-ward Market and a scavenger hunt at the Diefunbunker, Canada’s cold war museum in Carp.

Communities will be host-ing their own Winterlude ac-tivities include at Lansdowne Park, where residents have been invited to compete in the City Snowscapes Community Show Sculpture Competition as part of the city’s Winter

Design Festival. The compe-tition will be showcased dur-ing the winter festival from Jan. 30 to Feb. 16 and the sculptures are scheduled to

be built between Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. This event marks the first celebration of Winterlude at the redeveloped Lansdowne Park. Sculptures

will be judged on creativity, technique and effort, visual appeal and communication -- the power of the sculpture to capture and hold the interest of the viewer.

A full list of Winterlude’s partners and events is avail-able at canada.pch.gc.ca/ser-vices/culture.

Leading up to the festival the National Capital Commis-sion officially opened the 45th season of the Rideau Canal Skateway on Jan. 10, open-ing the section from Somerset Street to Bank Street, and Pat-terson Creek on Jan. 12. On Jan. 15 all 7.8 kilometres was ready for skating.

Alta Vista resident Mike Banks spends 45 minutes on the bus every morning to get downtown.

But he’d rather live more cheaply in the suburbs if he could still get to work on time – or even earlier.

“My dream is to move to Riverside South and then com-mute by train,” Banks said.

If the O-Train were to con-nect to Bowesville Road just north of Riverside South, he and his young family would move there “in a second,” he said.

That’s exactly what the city is proposing to do, although the extension of what the city now calls the Trillium Line – the north-south O-Train that cur-rently ends at Greenboro sta-tion – is still in its infancy, with no timeline worked out and no budget dollars secured.

At a meeting at the Jim Dur-rell arena on Jan. 13 residents got a detailed look at the city’s plans to bring the train further

south to Bowesville Road, with a branch to the Ottawa Inter-national Airport. The meeting was part of an environmental assessment process that city planners hope to formally wrap up by December of this year.

After that, it’s not clear how long it will take to put the plan into action; it has, however, been approved as part of the 2013 transportation master plan.

The extension is part of the city’s larger transit extension project it calls Stage 2, which includes the east-west Confed-eration Line through the down-town. Stage 2 will eventually add 35 kilometres of new rail to the city’s network and 19 new stations.

Several of those will be lo-cated along the Trillium Line, beginning with a new station at Gladstone Ave between Bay-view and Carling stations and another at Walkley Road along the Transitway.

A new South Keys station would become a bustling tran-sit hub with commuters trans-ferring to catch airport-bound

trains or to go downtown. South of there, stations

would be added at Leitrim Road and Bowesville, with an airport branch peeling off be-tween South Keys and Leitrim to create stations at the EY Centre and the airport’s busy passenger terminal.

All of the work would leave room for future conver-

sion to twin-track electric rail sometime after 2031. The Tril-lium line currently uses diesel trains.

City planner Colin Simp-son said the extension is an “affordable interim plan” that will provide more transit op-tions for riders while the city works toward its ultimate tran-sit network goals that would

take light rail into Barrhaven and Riverside South, as well as further east and west. He said the extension on the table now will accommodate ridership demands until about 2031.

Osgoode Coun. George Da-rouze said the extension would bring more options to residents in the south end, which will help take pressure off the busy road network that rural and suburban residents rely on.

“For us it’s important be-cause there’s always talk about congestion and expanding roads, but right now there is no appetite for that,” Darouze said. “I personally think this should have happened a long time ago.”

And some residents want to see it not only faster, but further: Walkley resident Will Rose said he can’t fathom why city planners would stop just short of Riverside South.

“I want to know why they’re going to end the train at Bowes-ville in a farmer’s field,” Rose said. He speculated that south-end drivers won’t stop at the planned 2,500-spot park and

ride to catch a train when they could just continue up Lime-bank Road in their cars.

“Why not just do (extend to Riverside South) now,” he asked. “Building one station instead of two seems more ex-pensive in the end.”

Peter Steacy with the MMM Group leading the environ-mental assessment said the decision to stop short is largely due to technology. The city’s Official Plan requires diesel trains to be grade separated at road crossings, he said, but not for electric light rail. Once the city converts entirely to elec-tric tracks, they can bring the system into the suburbs.

Once the city converts en-tirely to electric tracks, they can bring the system into the suburbs.

The open house, along with another in Little Italy on Jan. 15, showed residents the vari-ous options for station place-ment, grade separation and operation models.

Feedback on the project can be sent to [email protected].

The recipe that ran in the Jan. 8 edition of the Ottawa East News, provided by Foodland Ontario, contained incorrect instructions. This is the cor-rect recipe.

Who doesn’t love a cosy comforting chicken dinner? Here’s a quick way to get your fix in a winter salad. Feel free to use 500 millilitres leftover cooked chicken or turkey. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Roasting time: 30 minutes. Serves four.

IngredIents

• 500 g (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken thighs• 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) dried sage leaves • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper• 1 ml (1/4 tsp) paprika (preferably sweet smoked)• Quarter peeled rutabaga, cut into 5-cm (2-inch) pieces• 3 peeled carrots, cut into 5-cm

(2-inch) pieces• 2 peeled parsnips, cut into 5-cm (2-inch) pieces • 20 ml (4 tsp) olive oil• 50 ml (1/4 cup) each dried cran-berries and pecans

Dressing• 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil• 15 ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar• 5 ml (1 tsp) coarse grain Dijon mustard• 50 ml (1/4 cup) coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves

PreParatIon

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle the

chicken with sage, half each of the salt and pepper and the paprika. Place chicken at one end of one baking sheet; place rutabaga at other end. Place carrots and parsnips onto second baking sheet. Drizzle 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the oil over carrot mixture and 5 ml (1 tsp) over rutabaga. Sprinkle vegetables with remaining salt and pepper; stir. Roast in 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes. Stir and rotate baking sheets. Roast until vegetables are ten-der and golden; and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 10 to 15 minutes.

Place vegetables into large bowl. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into pieces; add to vegetables along with cranberries and pecans.

Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar and mustard. Pour over chick-en mixture; add tarragon and toss to coat.

It had snowed heavily through the night, and when we got to the Northcote School, Cecil

was holding fort at the front gate.

“Don’t walk in the yard. Stay on the path to the door,” he instructed all of us as we neared the school. To go against Cecil could mean be-ing maimed for life, so we did exactly as we were told. We knew why he was yelling out to us, of course.

The new snow would be just perfect for the big wagon wheel the senior boys would stamp out, creating a winter pastime every one of us loved, but I had trouble get-ting the hang of.

One path would lead to the wagon wheel, and you dare not put a foot off the path until you reached a starting point. I never could figure out the real object of the game, but my friend Velma said it was the same as a game of

tag.You had to run around

the rim of the wheel, being chased by the leader. You could use one of the stamped out spokes, and if you were lucky, you reached the hub, and then you became the chaser. Of course, we younger girls didn’t have a chance in Hades of ever reaching the hub, but we ran like we were possessed nonetheless.

Miss Crosby, in a stroke of good humour, excused Emer-son and Cecil long before re-cess so they could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow. They came in just as the rest of the pupils were

told they could get on their winter garb and go outside.

Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time. All the while he kept warning us not to put a foot off the path leading to the wheel, or to step off the wheel or spokes, or we would have him to deal with.

It was hard to concentrate on our schoolwork for the rest of the morning, but a few cracks of the yard stick across

her desk by Miss Crosby was all we needed to get down to the serious reason of why we were in school.

Finally, the big CPR clock at the front of the room told it was lunchtime. We ate up in a hurry, because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow.

Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston.

When Velma and I finally managed to pile on the layers of winter clothes we wore at that time of year, and get out onto the front step, there was Cecil’s big Collie dog, sitting in the middle of the wheel like he owned the school yard.

It was obvious he had had a good run first. He had fol-lowed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes

ended and the rim began. The snow game had been ruined.

It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil. As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased.

“Git,” Cecil yelled. “Git home with you.”

Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it. But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever.

Cecil and my brother Em-erson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for

the rest of the winter.I wasn’t too disappointed

in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag.

It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with. They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Crime Stoppers in the Na-tional Capital Region has good cause to celebrate.

Not only is January National Crime Stoppers Month, 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the program in the region.

It’s come a long way since 2012-13 when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Tips are up almost 20 per cent over 2013, and that means law-enforcement agencies like the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP, the Ontario Provincial Police and others across the country potentially have more information that could help them solve cases.

“Not only the number of tips has gone up, but the qual-ity of tips over the last year has certainly increased,” said Richard McMullen, presi-dent of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. “And that re-

sults in more information for law enforcement, better reso-lution.”

Unlike other organizations, Crime Stoppers can’t trum-pet its success and reveal if a specific crime was solved in order to protect tipsters’ ano-nymity “because there is only so many people that will have the information about the rob-bery or a gun incident,” said National Capital Area Crime Stoppers co-ordinator Sgt. Ar-thur Wong, who is on second-ment to the program from the Ottawa Police Service. “We can’t let that out.”

Statistics for 2014 reveal that tips led to 36 arrests and 150 criminal charges and $2,625 in property and five firearms were recovered. More than 4,000 calls and web tips were submitted last year as well, representing a 17 per cent increase over 2013.

“Now tipsters are giving us specific information, names

and addresses,” McMullen said. “Certainly social me-dia and media exposure has helped. I think the more we can get the message out there, the better.”

First arrest

Crime Stoppers, one of 38 independent Crime Stoppers programs in Ontario, began in the Ottawa region in 1985 thanks to business people in the community coming to-gether to address crime.

Crime Stoppers has been around since 1976, after it was started in Albuquerque, N.M. following the murder of a gas station attendant.

The pillar of the program has remained the same: tip-sters remain anonymous.

“There’s a certain element of the public that don’t want to come forward, for whatever reason – maybe for fear of re-prisal, maybe they just don’t

want to get involved – that apathy,” McMullen said. “The other element, of course too, is that sometimes people don’t want to have to go and testify in court.”

Some people are fearful of police, but McMullen said a tipster’s identity has never been revealed. The informa-tion submission form on the website is encrypted, and calls are not recorded.

“We don’t subscribe to call display, and we don’t ask for their identity, and they don’t have to testify in court,” Wong said.

The program serves as an important tool for a number of criminal investigation units within the Ottawa Police Ser-vice, such as its robbery unit, which receives dozens of anonymous Crime Stoppers tips every year, which have led to several arrests.

The Crime Stoppers num-ber is always included at the

bottom of every media infor-mation release put out by the robbery unit in hopes that a member of the public will know something.

“Typically, when we put out one of these releases with an image (of a suspect), we’re trying to put a face to a name,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haar-bosch, head of the Ottawa po-lice robbery unit. “If people want to give that name to us by Crime Stoppers, that’s great,

and that’s what we encourage people to do if they don’t want to deal with us directly.”

Tips have helped keep neighbourhoods safe and saved police valuable time, McMullen said.

“You can imagine it costs a lot of resources to investigate a crime and sometimes it takes months, weeks, years to fully resolve,” he said.

Region’s Crime Stoppers celebrates successful turnaround, anniversary

ERIN MCCRACkEN/METROlANd

Ottawa police sgt. arthur Wong, co-ordinator of National Capital area Crime stoppers, left, and richard McMullen, president of the crime-solving program, will be helping the organization celebrate its 30th anniversary this year in the region.

Continued from page 16

“If they can be pointed in the right direction, they can target those resources and that cost, so ultimately there’s savings to the community, but more importantly, it’s the reduction and resolution when it comes to crime.”

The role of Crime Stoppers has evolved since its inception, as has the nature of the tips that come in.

“Certainly back in 1985 when they began the program, I don’t think anyone envi-sioned taking tips on terrorist activities or radicalization of youth,” said McMullen.

An influx of more than 50 tips flooded the tip line in the days after the shootings at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, 2014.

Sometimes all it takes is just one tip with enough details that can help investigators be-gin looking in the right place.

“The first year I came in

I think we had two tips that came in for drug information that netted over $1 million,” said Wong. “You never know what comes up.”

The potential to earn a cash reward of up to $2,000 is an-other hallmark of the pro-gram.

When tipsters call or send in a tip through the Crime Stop-pers website, they are given a special code, and are asked to call back to learn if their in-formation has led to an arrest, conviction, identification of a suspect or seizure of drugs or guns.

But the majority of tipsters don’t collect their money.

“Whether they don’t care for the money or they lost the code, we don’t know,” Wong said, adding that if people find their code, they can still call to check in to see if they are eli-gible for an award.

“Maybe it’s naive, but I think people want to do the right thing,” McMullen said.

Program officials are mind-

ful that some tipsters could purposefully report false infor-mation if they are motivated by revenge or hope to lead police in the wrong direction.

“It doesn’t happen very (often),” said McMullen. “It isn’t like going to a judge and getting a warrant. Basically, a lead for an investigator … has to do due diligence and has to conduct an investigation and gather their own evidence.”

There are also a number of checks and balances in place at the program to protect its integrity and prevent the unau-thorized dispersal of financial awards, including the monthly board approval for all payouts, board approval for expenses of more than $500, the monthly review of bank statements and an annual audit, McMullen said.

Whether or not the award is collected, officials must ensure there is always enough funding to cover those awards.

And that takes fundraising. The registered not-for-profit,

which has a yearly operational budget of about $30,000, relies on donations from individuals and businesses.

In 2012-13 the organiza-tion was suffering from tough financial times, largely due to a challenging economy, and lackluster fundraising efforts.

“I was kind of taken aback that it wasn’t funded somehow by the public,” said McMullen,

who heard about the program’s financial problems and wanted to help, given his business ex-pertise. He began volunteering with the organization in 2012, and after about six months joined its volunteer board of directors.

A few days after Ottawa’s first shooting in 2015, Mayor Jim Watson said the city needs better services to provide gang members with an “exit strate-gy” to break out of their crimi-nal past.

The mayor said he is pre-pared to work with the city manager to find funding in the city budget for a new program that would help gang members get back on their feet after they leave jail.

“One of the gaping holes that we have is we don’t have a plan in place through John Howard or other organizations for a so called exit strategy when these people get out of jail,” the mayor told reporters at city hall on Jan. 12 after a meeting with Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau, Ot-tawa Police Services Board chair Eli El-Chantiry and MPP Yasir Naqvi.

“What do they do? Many of them go back to their old gang activity,” Watson added.

The mayor held the meeting

to discuss the city’s recent rash of gang related violence, after Ottawa saw a record 49 shoot-ings in 2014.

The new year has not brought much relief from gang violence, as a man was shot on Riga Private in the city’s west end on Jan. 10, in what police said was a gang-related shoot-ing.

Police had originally said the victim only had non-life-threatening injuries, but later said his health had deteriorat-ed and he was now in critical condition.

Despite the rise in the num-ber of shootings, Bordeleau has said he will not be request-ing more police officers in upcoming budget discussions. He has, however, increased patrols and redeployed re-sources to double the number of investigators working in the guns and gangs unit.

Bordeleau said while po-lice are committed to fighting the problem, a comprehensive long term solution is needed, which would include an exit strategy for gang members.

“Enforcement and suppres-

sion needs to be part of the overall gang strategy,” he said. “There is a gap in dealing with the young male adult coming out of jail or being arrested by the police service. There are no services out there that are there to support them in trying to get out of the gang.”

The police chief and mayor called the recent rise in shoot-ings a “spike,” that they intend to monitor.

“This is a one-year spike. It doesn’t mean it’s a trend. In fact, the overall crime rate in the city of Ottawa is down,” Watson said.

Watson said he wanted to reassure the public that Otta-wa is still among the country’s safest, despite the record num-ber of shootings last year.

“There are going to be no words that are going to be able to comfort people in com-munities that have seen gun violence on their streets, or in their parks or outside of a school, but we can do our best to address peoples’ peace of mind that we are committed to working on a holistic solu-tion,” the mayor said.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY!

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

and will benefi t many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfi llment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefi ts which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignifi cant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, [email protected] (613)-837-7408, ext. 260

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

With the Beer Store’s unique position in the Ontario market increasingly under scrutiny, the retailer controlled by a trio of foreign-owned producers re-cently offered an olive branch to the small craft brewers in the province.

In a Jan. 7 media release, the Beer Store announced it would offer small brewers who produce less than one million litres per year a chance to sit on the board of directors, as well as the chance to have two of their products sold at the five closest Beer Store locations to their breweries, at a reduced stocking fee. Reduced rates for buying preferred shares in the company was also included as part of the offer.

“The Beer Store is a great beer retail system,” Beer Store president Ted Moroz said in a media release. “As a result

of these changes all Ontario brewers will be able to par-ticipate in the management of the company and the smallest Ontario brewers will get im-proved opportunities to grow their sales volumes at a signifi-cantly reduced cost.”

The offer, which occurred as the provincial government weighs its options on reform-ing the Beer Store retailing structure, was met with a frosty reaction from the Ontario Craft Brewers association.

The group, which represents more than 50 small Ontario breweries, didn’t raise a glass to the Beer Store’s announce-ment, and instead said that they hadn’t been consulted on the issue.

“The announcement today by the Beer Store regarding opening ownership for Ontar-io’s small brewers came as a complete surprise to our mem-bers,” said OCB chairman Cam Heaps in a media release.

“It certainly does not ad-dress our major issue of im-proving access for consumers … Our goal continues to be fundamental change to Ontar-io’s beer distribution channels that will result in a doubling or tripling of the jobs current-ly created by craft brewers as well as the ability to reach our full share of market potential.”

Despite the bluster, the companies that currently con-trol the Beer Store – Belgium-based AB InBev, American firm MolsonCoors and Japan’s Sapporo – would still hold 12 seats on the 15-seat board of directors. The company’s vir-tual lock on the Ontario beer market would also continue.

The Beer Store followed up the announcement with three media releases issued over 17 hours, each one touting posi-tive reactions by smaller brew-ers and the public.

Many believe the actions of the Beer Store are meant to

sidestep the franchise fee that Premier Kathleen Wynne has suggested should be charged to the Beer Store in exchange for their continued operation in the province.

Local craft brewers, of which Ottawa has many, re-garded the proposal with cau-tion – balancing their eager-ness to reach larger markets with the concern of what long-reaching limitations they could saddle themselves with.

Rob McIsaac, co-owner of Beyond the Pale Brewery in

Hintonburg, said the offer to stock a limited amount of prod-uct at the Beer Store would make operations more cost-ef-fective, but admitted he hadn’t had time to think it over.

“(The Beer Store) real-ized change was coming, and they’re trying to get in front of it,” said McIsaac. “They’re

throwing us a bone, and we will see what the value of that bone is.”

Beyond the Pale employs 12 people, and will be moving to the City Centre complex this spring to continue an expanded operation. McIsaac said the Beer Store is just one discus-sion small brewers are having,

given that archaic provincial laws hamstring their operation in other ways as well.

Broadhead Brewing Com-pany co-owner Josh Laroque said the offer “seems like a step in the right direction,” but added that “it’s hard to assess exactly what it means.”

Laroque said their brewery, which employs eight people, had been hoping for a more open system of beer distribu-tion in the province. While breweries are allowed to run retail stores in the buildings where their beer is brewed, Laroque said an extension of the LCBO that catered to their product or a boutique store that offered Ontario craft beers would be a preferable model.

Such boutique craft beer stores already exist in Quebec, where beer sales are privatized and can be sold at convenience and grocery stores.

“At the end of the day, we’re all just small businesses, and it’s hard to get your name out there,” said Laroque. “At the Beer Store you’d be there, but people wouldn’t know you’re there. In the LCBO model, you’re on the shelf and have a higher visibility. Getting your name out there is the biggest challenge.”

Malinda Hapuarachchi, who grew up in Orléans, will take on European powerhouse teams as a part of Team Can-ada in the upcoming Indoor Hockey World Cup.

Hapuarachchi plays indoor field hockey, which she started after an impulse tryout during her first week as a Grade 9 student at Cairine Wilson Sec-ondary School.

She played with a competi-tive club in Ottawa, and even-tually went to the University of Toronto, which is known for having a strong field hock-ey team.

“That one decision to try out for that (high school) team really shaped the rest of my life,” Hapuarachchi said.

She played for the U of T Varsity Blues in Toronto, and now as a PhD student still at the school, acts as the team’s assistant coach.

She played outdoors with the Varsity Blues and for other teams and was briefly a part of the outdoor national program, but has found her competitive niche in the indoor game.

The now 31-year-old is still a force to be reckoned with on the court, and will head to her second World Cup, which takes place in Leipzig, Ger-many, the first week of Febru-ary.

She’s the only member of the team that travelled to the 2007 World Cup; Canada didn’t qualify in 2011.

The Canadians have to win at the Pan American Cup the year prior to the World Cup in order to qualify. The Canadian team won in 2014; a team that Hapuarachchi couldn’t play on because of academic com-mitments.

Indoor field hockey, a four-on-four sport played on a court, is very popular in Eu-rope – especially Germany and the Netherlands, where

Hapuarachchi played for sev-eral months after finishing her undergraduate degree.

She compared the European clubs to Canadian ice hockey clubs, with multiple courts and competitive divisions.

“Indoor is growing for a lot

of the European teams,” she said. “And in Europe, every-one is so close to each other, it’s very easy to compete. In Canada we’re more isolated. To get to international compe-titions, it’s a lot more cumber-some.”

The Canadians are going into the tournament ranked 12th of the 12 teams, so they have realistic goals, including improving their position on the international stage.

Hapuarachchi said the team aims to have strong play in the

opening rounds of the tourna-ment and finish in the top eight – which would mean upsetting higher ranked teams.

Not all Canadian national teams receive funding from Sport Canada; indoor field hockey is an unfunded sport. It means training, travel and competition costs fall to the athletes themselves, many of whom have full time jobs or studies to deal with at the same time.

“You do it because you love it and you want to play at the highest level possible,” Hapuarachchi said. “It takes a lot of time and money to do these things.”

While there’s a chance this may be her last World Cup as she prepares to finish her stud-ies at the University of To-ronto, Hapuarachchi doesn’t see field hockey ever leaving her life.

“I feel like I’m going to be one of those people who will be involved in field hockey in some capacity for my entire life,” she said. “If it’s coach-ing, or if it’s being an old lady at 65 trucking around the field with my stick.”

Dominique Riverin and daughter Ariella were among the first skaters on the ca-nal Saturday morning. A recent bout of cold weather made for the ideal conditions for ice development – the remaining sections of the skateway were open by Jan. 15.
