After a year of working with the community, the plans are almost set and a meeting on the latest design for the new public space in the Greystone Village development was held at the Greystone Village Pre-sentation Centre on Feb. 29.

The meeting, hosted by the Old Ottawa East Community Association, offered residents a chance to look at the con-cept for the community green space and comment on the design.

Eddie Gillis, who heads the community association’s com-mittee for the park space, said he joined the association in the �rst place to help work on the project.

“There was such a collabo-ration with all the groups in-volved,” Gillis said. “The Re-

gional Group, as a developer, has gone above and beyond the norm to actively listen to the community and incorpo-rate their ideas into the devel-opment.”

Gillis said getting a chance to look at the �nal concept was exciting and he believes the space will become part of a larger, walkable network for Old Ottawa East and sur-rounding communities.

Planned to be a part of the Grande Allee and Forecourt of the Greystone project, the new public space is planned as the heart of the development, offering a gathering space for the community.

Landscape architects No-vatech presented the design, which includes a splash pad water feature, space for the Main Street Farmers Mar-ket, walkways, winter skating

space, a community stage, picnic and games tables and courts.

Gillis said these were all ideas that emerged from the community.

“Community input has been invaluable in shaping the �nal design,” he said, adding all parities have worked to-gether to ensure that the con-cept is what the community wants.

According to Jessica Pala-cios, an architect working on the project, the overwhelming response from the 20 residents who attended the Feb. 29 meeting was praise.

“We had a great response to the park concept,” Palacios said. “Twenty people signed in for the public meeting, 17 people completed a ballot that evaluated the park, and 16 said they “loved it.”

Palacios added one person was neutral about the design.

Capital Coun. David Cher-nushenko called the process collaborative and was pleased with the design.

“Residents had many op-portunities to provide input, and I think this shows in the very compelling design,” he said.

The community association has worked extensively with the developer on the plan for the Oblates lands, a 10.5-hect-are site north of St. Paul’s University on Main Street. Along with the green space, the site includes a network of cycling paths and walkways.

Construction of the �rst phase of the development is set to begin this spring.

Skateway skating season comes to an endSta�

From one of the longest to one of the shortest season’s ever, the Rideau Canal Skateway is now closed for the rest of the winter season.

The National Capital Commission an-nounced on Feb. 25 it was shutting the Skateway down after “a short and unpre-dictable season due to frequent adverse

weather conditions.”Although the Skateway’s 46th skating

season that started on Jan. 23 only lasted 34 days, with just 18 of those days be-ing safe for actual skating, the NCC was pleased that it was open for two of three Winterlude weekends this year.

In a statement the NCC said, “adverse weather conditions have deteriorated the ice surface and, in some places, ice thick-

ness. “Water on the ice surface may hide se-

rious hazards. The NCC urges the public to keep personal safety in mind and re-main off the Skateway, as it is now closed. Respect the red �ags, barricades and signs installed at Skateway access points.”

While this year was short and sweet, last season was one of the longest on re-cord, lasting for 59 days.

The city rati�ed a four-year deal with OC Transpo’s biggest union – Amalgam-ated Transit Union Local 279 on Feb. 24.

The deal is salary increases of two per cent in each of the �rst three years and 2.25 per cent in the fourth year.

Mayor Jim Watson said it was a “good deal for OC Transpo employees, riders and taxpayers.”

The existing contract was set to expire in March.

The new deal, which will end in 2020, which means stability for when the Con-federation light rail line opens in 2018, Watson said.

“The four-year agreement will bring employment stability,” Watson said,

thanking ATU head Clint Crabtree and OC Transpo general manager for their hard work.

“The fact that we reached the agree-ment prior to expiration of our existing contract, demonstrates our relationship with the city’s transit suppliers,” he said.

Coun. Stephen Blais, who chairs the

transit commission, said he’s proud of the hard work done by city staff.

“Usually it’s bad news from you get a call from John Manconi at 3 a.m.,” Blais said.

“But this is de�nitely good news.”The union represents more than 2,000

employees.

The Downtown Rideau Business Improvement Area’s boundary ex-pansion was heard and approved by the city’s �nance and economic de-velopment committee on March 1.

Despite the approval, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said there’s still a “lot of work” to do be-fore the �le makes its way to council in three weeks.

The plan proposes to expand the boundaries of the BIA to encom-pass businesses along Rideau Street between the canal and Cummings Bridge – and further west to include the Bytown Museum and National Arts Centre.

Peggy DuCharme, chair of the BIA, said stakeholders began to en-gage the city on the issue in 2010.

“First, we began to look at prop-

erties beyond King Edward (Av-enue),” DuCharme told the com-mittee. “We will continue pursuing original boundary adjustment to the west as well as to the east.”

DuCharme said area businesses are in favour of a uni�ed streetscape and the improvement area already has an ad hoc associate member rela-tionship with the NAC and Bytown Museum.

The inclusion of the arts centre and the museum would cement the area’s brand as an arts, theatre and fashion district. It could also provide a substantial increase in revenue.

But neighbouring merchant groups are not as pleased with the move.

Jasna Jennings, executive director of the ByWard Market BIA, said she felt that her association should have been consulted more.

“We had one consultation meet-ing and we were under the impres-sion that they were going to come back to us to go over options and that didn’t happen,” she said.

Jennings took issue with the por-tion of George Street from York

Street to King Edward being part of the boundary change process.

Jennings said the signage that says the area is part of the Rideau BIA might confuse visitors who think they’re actually on Rideau Street.

She said she also wanted the city to look at opportunities for pageant-ry and way �nding on King Edward, to direct visitors to the market.

“We really just want to better serve visitors to both areas,” she said.

Steve Monuk, who owns a busi-ness on the south side of George St., said that he would like the city to look into the option of allowing the businesses to split the levy and be part of both BIAs.

Mayor Jim Watson said that he’d

like to see the two bodies form one merchant group like the West Ot-tawa Board of Trade.

“It would be nice to have one voice speaking for our downtown,” Watson said. “I don’t like to see inter border concerns like this.”

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Somerset Catherine McKenney will work with the rep-

resentatives of the BIA to come up with a consensus.

The boundary expansion will be considered by council on March 23. If the change is approved at council, the effected businesses would have a chance to weigh in.

If more than one-third of the businesses object, the expansion would fail.

Editorial Policy

OPINION Connected to your community

For decades the people of Ottawa – if not all of Canada – have dealt with a form of taxation without representation.

The National Capital Commission bills its responsibility as making the capital “a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians, and a legacy for generations to come.”

It’s a lofty goal, paid for by all Canadians. The decisions of the NCC board may often puzzle the locals, but without the NCC, Ottawa would be planned from a purely mu-nicipal outlook, when it certainly deserves a greater world view.

This is the capital city for all Canadians.Unfortunately, the NCC has had to deal

with federal governments that also believe in political interference, governments that have considered short-term political expediency the trump card, forgetting the “legacy for generations to come” part that is a function of taking a long-term view.

Big plans and big budgets can draw our focus to the short term; we want what we

want, and we want it now. Those big plans and budgets also make

politicians – who must keep their eyes on getting re-elected – over-excited, ready to build themselves a legacy.

Every decision made by the NCC should be taken with the long-term implications as its primary focus. We are all here on a tem-porary basis. With a clean slate, the Trudeau government has set new and welcome pa-rameters for the NCC.

That doesn’t mean there will be no politi-cal interference, but it has already delivered some good news.

Someone in the federal government has realized that the NCC’s physical jurisdiction actually overlaps that of local governments in two provinces.

The mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau are now non-voting members of the NCC board of directors.

That this is a new situation, when the NCC has been around since 1959, is shock-ing. But what’s done is done. Bring on the clean slate.

We share the city with a nation

It is almost comical, the dis-putes we get into over how to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Many diffi cult situations, not to mention a lot of arguing, could be prevented if we just behaved better, but that is not our nature.

Here are a couple of examples – noise bylaw enforcement and photo radar.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t need them.

But people drive too fast and people have parties and people who have parties have neighbours.

In days gone by, this situation was dealt with by a combination of bylaw offi cers and police.

But now there is talk of scaling back, with some residents fearing that no one will show up to ask the folks next door to keep it

down. Money could solve this. If there were unlimited funds, there could be more bylaw offi cers.

If there were a larger police force, there would be less need to drop low priorities – of which noise is deemed to be one.

That’s small consolation to the folks next door when the party has spilled out onto the lawn and the screaming from the second fl oor may not be all in fun.

But is there a magical solution? No. But there may be a magical solution to another instance of

people behaving badly. That’s the question of too-fast

driving in residential areas. Photo radar has been proposed by an Ottawa city councillor and the debate has begun to rage.

There are two issues really: ef-fectiveness and civil liberties. The second is easier to deal with.

While it is true that surveil-lance cameras, such as photo radar, intrude on our privacy, these would not be the fi rst.

In fact, cameras are trained on us in all sorts of public spaces. We may not have reached the Big Brother stage of say, London, where it is apparently diffi cult to move without being on camera. But we are getting there.

So if we accept the cameras in the shopping centre and at the airport, not to mention the red

light camera, why would we not accept one on the street where we live? If the civil liberties horse has left the barn, the question of effectiveness remains.

Would photo radar work? It got good reviews when it was in effect in the early ’90s on Ontario highways, before it became politi-cally expedient to end it.

But how well could it work in neighbourhoods?

You can see it working on ma-jor streets, where the buses run. But major streets are not what concerns parents.

Major streets have stoplights and, in key areas, crossing guards.

What worries a parent is his own quiet street which somebody uses, too fast, as a shortcut, or is just not paying attention.

The driver doesn’t even have to be speeding to be a danger to children playing on that street; 50 km/h or even 40 is way too fast. But can you put cameras on every

street like that? Well, maybe you don’t need to, as long as drivers think the cameras might be there.

The mere thought of cameras can act as a deterrent to would-be speeders. There are a lot of tricky details to work out, for sure, including the fact that cameras show cars, not people.

But there’s no harm in trying.

A Senate report on obe-sity did not sugar coat the problem – it is becoming a major Canadian crisis.

The standing senate com-mittee on social affairs, science and technology re-leased its report on obesity at the Taggart YMCA in Centretown on March 1. Committee members Sena-tors Kelvin Kenneth Ogilvie and Art Eggleton presented the report, calling on all lev-els of government to lead Canadians to a leaner future.

“We need a national cam-paign to stop obesity,” Egg-leton said.

The report highlights 21 recommendations to help promote healthy lifestyles, which include:

• updating Canada’s food guide,

• banning advertising food and drink to children,

• a possible tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.

POOR HEALTH

“Obesity is not only lead-ing to poor health for far too many Canadians, but it is also resulting in increased health care costs for all of us,” Eggleton said. “It is paramount that all levels of government come together to create a national cam-paign to combat obesity.”

According to the report, almost two-thirds of Cana-

dian adults are now either overweight or obese and 33 per cent of children are over-weight or obese. This, Eggleton said, has di-rect and indirect health care costs estimated between $4.6 billion and $7.1 billion in this country annually.

The report also found that the situation

for Canada’s aboriginal pop-ulation is very concerning.

Thirty-fi ve per cent of adults in aboriginal commu-nities are overweight and 35 per cent are obese, while 63 per cent of children under 11 are overweight or obese. The committee said this can be attributed to the lack of safe drinking water, the con-tinually rising cost of perish-able foods in Northern and remote communities, and government subsidies for fresh foods under the Nutri-tion North program that are not working.

The committee said the answer is simple – make changes today that can posi-tively impact individuals’ future.

“We all have a role to play,” said Ogilvie.

Creating and implement-ing a national strategy, which should include goals, timelines and progress re-ports, can accomplish posi-tive change, Ogilvie said.

“These measures will make a difference,” he said.

SUGAR TAX

The proposed sugar tax on sugar-sweetened and ar-tifi cially sweetened bever-ages is not about a new way

to make a profi t for govern-ment funding, Ogilvie said.

“The purpose is to get people to think twice,” he said.

The senator said the tax could help fund other nu-trition programs, and make healthy foods more afford-able via food subsidies or the removal or reduction of existing taxes.

The recommendation calls for the federal govern-ment to conduct a study on

the potential sugar tax and report back to the Senate committee at the end of this year.

LOCAL IMPACT

Held at the local YMCA gym, Ogilvie commended the organization for its cur-rent efforts in making a dif-ference promoting healthy eating and lifestyle.

Rob Adams, associate vice-president of childcare

and camp youth engage-ment said the Centretown Taggart YMCA has made fi ghting obesity a top pri-ority. Adams said the Y’s children’s programs and ser-vices aim to teach its chil-dren physical literacy and healthy eating.

“It’s about having kids engage in healthy choices on a day-in, day-out basis,” Ad-ams said.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Senator Art Eggleton says he would like the federal government to adopt a national strategy to end obesity in Canada. The concerns were raised and documented in a newly re-leased report, Obesity in Canada, made public by the Standing Senate Com-mittee on Social Aff airs, Science and Technology on March 1.

Revised Notice of CompletionClass Environmental Assessment

Tri-Township Sanitary Sewer Collector ReplacementIn February 2001, the City of Ottawa completed a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review sanitary sewerinfrastructure upgrades for the West Urban Community area of Ottawa. In the 2001 Environmental Screening Report (ESR),the preferred alternative identified several projects which would increase the overall performance and capacity of the sani-tary servicing for the West Urban Community. The ESR concluded that a new trunk sewer would be constructed to conveyflow from the Kanata North area, and the existing Tri-Township Collector (TTC) sewer south of the railway line and the MarchRidge Trunk (MRT) sewer would be relined and rehabilitated to extend their service life.More than 10 years have passed since completion of the 2001 EA and the condition of the TTC has deteriorated. A reviewof the original EA in the current planning context was undertaken to evaluate the rehabilitation of the TTC and the MRT. TheTTC is currently at its maximum capacity and it is proposed to be replaced with a new larger diameter sewer to convey futureprojected flows for 2021 and 2060. A portion of the MRT will also be replaced and lowered to eliminate the existing siphonunder Watts Creek. The EA Review has identified the preferred alignment for the TTC and MRT replacement sewers andconfirmed that this revised solution does not present any new environmental implications as compared to the 2001 EA.By this Notice, the EA Review is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the MunicipalEngineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that onlythe changes proposed in the EA Review are open for review.For further information on this project, to submit comments or to inspect a copy of the EA Review report, please contact theCity of Ottawa’s project manager at the address below:

Continued from page 9

The Taggart YMCA offers programming for the whole family, scheduling classes for all different ages at the same time so a family

can come to the facility at one time.

“We make sure we have something for everyone,” he said.

Bob Gallagher, president of the YMCA,

said the organization has always been in the business of modeling healthy lifestyles for its members.

“It’s not about designing only for adults,” Gallagher said.

“It’s the impact on the whole family. We are about working with the community.”

Adams said the best part about the YMCA is that when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, money is not a barrier.

Adams said that for families or individuals who can not afford a membership, there are options, including the YActive Assist – a fee assistance program which adjusts memberships fees based on what individuals can afford.

“We work to break down barriers,” Adams said.

Currently Adams said 15 per cent of its Ottawa membership is receiving assistance.

When it comes to the recent report, both Adams and Gallagher said they hope the obesity report will gain public attention.

“ It’s about taking small steps,” Gallagher said.

“We need to start working with kids today.”

Healthy lifestyles a priority at YMCA: president


Senator Kelvin Kenneth Ogilvie, right, chair of the standing senate committee on social aff airs, science and technology, wants immediate action to combat obesity in Canada. Ogilvie released the report, Obesity in Canada, on March 1. Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada CEO David Sculthorpe echoed Ogilvie, urging the government to implement the recommendations of the report.

As a pre-emptive strike to keep its community safe, the Pineview Community Asso-ciation hosted an informa-tion-packed evening on what can help keep a community safe.

Organized with the help of the Eastern Ottawa Re-source Centre, the night focused on what residents could do to keep their streets safe. Held at St. John Paul II on March 2, residents dis-cussed safety issues and con-cerns raised during a safety walk audit conducted by Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments (WISE) this past fall.

WISE’s Elsy David at-tended the meeting to pres-ent the �ndings of the re-cent walk to the commu-nity group – pointing out that curbing speeding and better lighting throughout the neighbourhood’s many pathways were top concerns to address to the city moving forward.

“There needs to be con-sistent lighting along the paths,” David said.

The walk looked at the Stonehenge Park pathway, as well as a small path con-necting Cyrville Road and Saxony Crescent – which was so well hidden David admitted she didn’t even re-alize it was a pathway.

Speeding along Maxime Street and Blair Road were also raised in the report, not-ing that speeding ion Blair, where there is no distinct sidewalk, creates unsafe walking conditions.

Heather Scott, president of the local community as-sociation, plans on handing over the report to Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney in the hope that some of the issues raised about keeping the neigh-bourhood safe and slowing down drivers will be ad-dressed.

Tierney said community safety is always a concern and that speeding in the area continues to be a top prior-ity for him.

To address the speeding issue directly, the councillor said he is going to be install-ing two speeding boards in Pineview this year. These speed boards, Tierney said, will record data, allowing for reports to be generated to police so targeted speeding enforcement can take place.

Tierney has already man-

aged to lower the speed limit along Blair, from 80 km/h to 50 km/h.

“I will continue to work with the community on these important safety concerns,” Tierney said.

The evening included a presentation on neighbour-hood watches, emergency preparedness and road safe-

ty initiatives. Currently, the community

has no watches, but Scott said there has been interest from a number of residents to start one.

“We are taking the �rst steps,” Scott said. “We don’t have any speci�c streets, we are just learning how to get started.”

Scott said the next steps would be to �nd watch cap-tains and street-speci�c in-terest to get some watches up and running.

More information about the safety audit or how to get involved with the com-munity association is avail-able online at pineviewot-tawa.com.


Elsy David from Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments presents their �ndings on a recent community safety audit conducted in the neighbourhood during Pineview Safety Night at St. John Paul II on March 2. Hosted by the local com-munity association, the event was aimed to be a pro-active approach to safety in the neighbourhood.

People say time moves fast. It’s hard to believe until you have been

gone for a year – elbows deep in baby smiles and kisses – and then you blink and you are back to sitting in your Ottawa East News chair wondering what the latest community news story is.

The best part about taking a year off is I got to just be a resident living in my commu-nity.

I got to take strolls along bumpy, mis-matched sidewalks and utilize community services – all while thinking as a reporter, so armed with this new perspective, I am excited to tackle the stories that mean something to our readers.

And, while I am not sure if all of you missed me, I have certainly missed speaking with you – about your communities, your families and having a laugh or two.

So please, send me an email at [email protected] or give me a call at 613-221-6160, and we can catch up on all things related to the Ottawa East News.

City council will consider a plan to balance the books for 2015 by dipping into the city’s reserve funds.

The city ended last year with a $42-million shortfall, which city treasurer Marian Simulik said is much better than the numbers originally forecast.

Simulik credited the savings to minimal snowfalls in November and December, as well as the city’s hiring freeze.

She suggested the city’s reserves are healthy enough to use them to deal with the de�cit. Even with the removal of $42 million, reserves are expected to hit $267 million by the end of the year, Simulik said.

During a March 1 �nance

and economic development committee meeting, G l o u c e s t e r - S o u t h g at e Coun. Diane Deans asked how much of the reserves – that come from sources such as the gas tax – are earmarked for speci�c items that need to be used for transit projects.

Simulik said approximately $100 million comes from the gas tax, which the city is using to build the light rail the Confederation Line.

City staff plan to do an inventory of the city’s reserves and report back before the end of this year, Simulik said.

“We haven’t had refresh of them since 2002,” she said. “There’s new methodology out there that takes a risk-based approach to �gure out how much is enough. There’s a sweet spot between not too much and not enough.”

HIRING FREEZE QUESTIONS

Deans question whether

the city’s hiring freeze impacted service levels, and said she wonders what will

happen to the budget once it’s lifted.

City manager Kent

Kirkpatrick said there’s still a freeze at the executive level, which will be in place until the city meets the reduction targets set out during the budget process.

He said the hiring freeze only applies to positions that don’t impact front line service.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley congratulated staff on their “quick action,” to deal with the de�cit.

Mayor Jim Watson cited lower than expected water meter revenues, high snow clearing expenses and OC Transpo maintenance costs as unforeseen aspects of recent spending.

“We have reserves for the reason that we can’t always budget precisely,” Watson said, calling the reserves a kind of rainy day fund.

Watson added the budget performance review – brainchild of Hubley and Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli – will help to create an early warning

system if a department is in danger of going over budget.

Watson also said the city would review snow clearing standards.

“In some cases we will be increasing the level of service and in some cases, where we are going above what we need to, we will be decreasing it,” he said.

Watson recounted a story from the west end neighbourhood where he resides. A plow was out pushing back snow banks that weren’t really blocking the roadway.

He said a review could mean a better use of the city’s resources.

Watson said the city is on much more solid ground �nancially than at the close of 2015.

“We heard today the reserves are healthy,” he said.

The �nance and economic development committee’s decision to use the reserves to pay off the de�cit will need to be approved by council.

City could dip into reserves to deal with 2015 de�cit

Brier [email protected]

John Morris might have �own in from Alberta to compete in the Brier, but the Ottawa boy will be a hometown favourite.

Morris, often known as Johnny Mo in the curling world, grew up in Beacon Hill, the son of well-known coach Earle Morris.

So coming back to Ottawa means he’ll have a whole crowd of family and friends in the stands to cheer for his team, Team Canada.

His Alberta rink is two-time de-fending Brier champions, though it’s John’s second year with the team.

“Love it. This still feels like home for me,” he said. “It just feels awe-some to be back. I always love being a part of the hometown team.”

Morris will be coached by his father during this year’s Brier, and Earle will inducted into the Cana-dian Curling Hall of Fame during

the event. After his dad spent time coach-

ing other Canadian and interna-tional champion teams, such as the Rachel Homan rink, John said it’s pretty special to be back on the same team.

“He’s taught me a lot of what I know about curling,” he said.

“I don’t think he’ll be coaching for too many more years, so to have him along here with us this week, especially being in Ottawa, and him being inducted into the hall of fame, is pretty special.”

Earle said a lot of his role as a coach has been to prepare the team through training sessions and camps, and act as a cheerleader during the event itself.

He said he’s also helped John’s friends get out�tted in Team Cana-da colours in gear the family still has from the Olympics.

John won a gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

“I like to yuk it up with my

friends,” Morris said. “Whoever’s the most creative in the crowd for (wearing) Canada colours, I said, ‘Beers on me in the patch.’”

Morris said he expected about 40 to 50 friends and family to be out for the team’s �rst draw against Quebec, and they have tickets lined up all through the week.

While Team Canada is one of the favourites to win the 2016 Brier, it’s a strong �eld, and any hometown ad-vantage or fan support can help.

“It’ll be good to have that type of support, it’s good to have the fans cheering for you,” said Team Cana-da lead Nolan Theissen.

Morris said it’ll be a great event for fans, whether they’re his high school buddies out to cheer him on, or casual curling fans at their �rst Brier.

“Come and join the patch. It’s all about experiencing the live curling action, coming down to the patch after and having a beer or two, and seeing the teams, getting your pic-

tures with the players,” Morris said. “The TV covers it really well, but there’s something about coming to

the patch after that can’t be beat.”


Like father, like son. John Morris, left, with his father Earle Morris, in front of TD Place where the Brier will be played. John grew up in the family home in Beacon Hill, and now lives in Alberta. He’ll be curling for Team Canada, defending Brier champions, with his dad Earle as the coach.

Sweet homecoming for Beacon Hill-raised “Johnny Mo”



Brier [email protected]

The great Canadian sport of curling is set to take over Lansdowne Park and TD Place as the Tim Hortons Brier kicked off on March 3, the same day opening preliminary rounds were set to be played.

Mayor Jim Watson wel-comed Team Canada, de-fending Brier champions, to Ottawa for the men’s national curling champion-ship at a kick off event held at Local at Lansdowne.

“It’s great to have the Brier back in Ottawa,” Wat-son said. “It’s a chance for us to showcase the beauti-fully renovated Lansdowne Park.”

Watson said the curling championship will have a $15 million impact on the city. Besides packing TD place for games, fans are expected to attend the Brier

Patch – also known as the beer gardens – in Aberdeen Pavillion during the event that runs until March 13.

“To all the residents of Ottawa, come on down,” Watson said. “Come and watch some of the best curl-ers in the world come and participate in this amazing Canadian tradition.”

This year’s Brier �eld is especially strong. Members of Team Canada said it’ll be a competitive �eld, and tougher than other years.

“The most depth I’ve ever (seen) at a Brier,” said Team Canada third John Morris, who grew up in Beacon Hill.

He said there are normal-ly three or four teams who could be top contenders to win it all, but this year there are about eight.

“This is the toughest �eld I’ve ever seen for a Brier, so it’ll be the toughest defense ever,” said Team Canada

lead Nolan Theissen. “It’s a whole new set of challeng-es and a whole new event. You’ve got to work your butt off and try and make the playoffs.”

Other contenders include Team Ontario’s Glenn Howard rink, the 2014 Olympic Gold medal team from Northern Ontario, which is skipped by Brad Jacobs, and two-time Brier winner Kevin Koe of Al-berta.

The 2006 Brier champion Jean-Michel Ménard, who is from Gatineau, will also likely draw a strong fan base for Team Quebec.

The 2016 Brier will also mark the �rst year that Nunavut competes in the Brier.

The Wade Kingston rink was scheduled to compete on March 3 in the pre-qual-ifying round.

The Brier was last hosted by Ottawa in 2001.

The Ottawa Champions will have a chance to go to bat against some baseball royalty this spring.

This June the Can-Am League will welcome the Cuban National Team for a 19-game tour, playing all six teams in the league. The Can-Am League announced the tour in Ottawa at city hall on March 2. The league’s teams may have their work cut out for them, as the Cuban team owns three Olympic gold medals, �nished second at the 2006 World Baseball Clas-sic and has won the Baseball World Cup 25 times. The Cu-ban team will start its tour with four games against the Quebec Capitales from June 9-12. The Champions host the team at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park from June 17-19. The series will wrap up with three games against the New Jersey Jackals from June 28-30.The players on the Cuban team will con-sist of the most of the same players who are scheduled to play the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball in an

exhibition game in Havana, Cuba, on March 22.

“We very highly appreci-ate the relationship between Cuba and Canada,” said Cu-ba’s Ambassador to Canada, Julio Garmendía Peña at a press conference announcing the tour at Ottawa City Hall. “We are very pleased that we are celebrating these impor-tant baseball games, which is real diplomacy between our two countries.”

Quebec Capitales president Michel Laplante said the se-ries is going to be spectacular and a lot of fun.

“We need to learn from

that to still enjoy sports, to play seriously but still have fun doing it,” he said.

According to Can-Am League commissioner Miles Wolff, this is the �rst time since 1960 when Havana left the International League that Cuban baseball has been part of a professional league schedule.

“We’re happy to be able to do something special and unique,” Wolff said. “It’s part of what independent baseball is that we can do things that other af�liated teams can’t do.”

The Ottawa Champions’ season starts on May 19.

If you’re a married woman, you may fi nd yourself doing an hour more of housework

per day than your male partner.

If you’re a mother, you can safely double the time you spend cleaning and car-ing for the home and those in it. And while the gender gap is narrowing in Canada, men are still doing less than women, even in couples where both partners work.

Does that rub you the wrong way? It should.

Or maybe you’re think-ing, “but my husband cleans toilets.” Good for him, but toilets are negotiable in this scenario.

Making beds is nice and a man who cooks is a verifi -able catch, in my opinion.

But if you really want to ensure gender equality in your house, the answer may lie in the laundry room.

Get him to wash your delicates and you’re clear on a number of fronts.

That’s the idea behind an

award-winning television ad for laundry detergent out of India that has caught the imagination of North Americans and people across the developed world under #ShareTheLoad. In it, a father observes his daughter return from work, taking work calls, caring for her child, starting dinner and doing the laundry, all while her husband sits on the sofa watching television.

At the end of the ad, the father writes a letter, apolo-gizing to his daughter for reinforcing gender stereo-types in the home by never helping her mother with

the housework. The ad is complete when the old man returns home and insists on doing his own laundry.

Facebook’s chief operat-ing offi cer, Sheryl Sandberg, summed up the meaning behind the ad quite nicely.

“The real win is the way they are changing stereo-types and showing that a more equal world would be a better world for all of us,” Sandberg wrote on her Facebook page, tagging “#Dads #ShareTheLoad and #LeanInTogether for equality.”

The ad was designed to take on gender stereotypes

in India. But inequality be-tween the sexes on the home front is alive and well here in North America too.

Researchers in the U.S. found that marriage created a housework hierarchy. Ac-cording to a University of Michigan study, marriage creates seven hours of extra housework each week for a woman. A man, meanwhile, is saved an hour of chores each week when he “takes a wife.”

Based on 2005 daily journal data that research-ers have been studying since 1968, the study shed some light on persistent gender equality within households. No surprise that when chil-dren are added to the equa-tion, women are ever more likely to be dust-busting their way around the house; more with each increase in the number of offspring.

“They found that young single women did the least amount of housework, at about 12 hours a week. Married women in their 60

and 70s did nearly twice that amount, while women with more than three chil-dren spent 28 hours a week cleaning, cooking and wash-ing,” Reuters reported at the time of the study’s release.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. One of the answers may lie in our own parent-ing.

Are we treating boys and girls differently when it comes to household respon-sibilities? Statistics would suggest we are.

Philanthropist Melinda Gates shed some light on the numbers in a February 2016 blog post, entitled, “The Gender gap nobody is talking about.”

Gates pulled 2014 U.S. data from the OECD’s gender, institutions and development database and cross-referenced with more nuanced numbers to demon-strate that the gender gap starts in childhood and is perpetuated by the media.

“Girls do 100 hours more chores than boys in a

year. Boys are 15 per cent more likely to be paid for their chores,” writes Gates. “Mothers may no longer be chained to the stove, but they still do three times more cleaning and four times more laundry than men.

Only one out of every 50 people you see in TV commercials doing laundry or running after kids is a man.”

While the scenario is slightly better in Canada, we have yet to pronounce full equality on the home front.

If we want to see a future where our daughters more equally share housework with their spouses, they need to see not only their dads, but also their broth-ers, tackling some of those domestic chores.

Start by showing the boys how to run that big clothes-washing machine that may be hiding in your basement. Better yet, get their dad to show them.

Ottawa trips made for many happy memoriesAunt Vanetta, I

thought, looked exactly like the Queen. With a

cloud of snow-white hair, the bluest eyes I had ever seen, and so different from Uncle Johnny, I often wondered what they saw in each other.

With a bunch of other rel-atives, she lived at 129 Lyon St., all in separate apart-ments, and right next door to No. 2 fi re station.

Goodness knows where everyone slept, because Aunt Lily and Uncle Dick and their son Richard, lived there too. I know all this because once we got the old Model T Ford in a trade, there was no stopping Mother from tak-ing frequent trips into Ottawa and 129 Lyon St.

How I loved to visit Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny. It was said amongst the family that Aunt Vanetta practically lived at the Catholic Church a couple blocks away. Rain or shine, she went to mass every

morning without fail. Family gossip also said

Uncle Johnny never darkened the church door! He said Aunt Vanetta went to enough masses to bless the entire length of Lyon Street.

If we were lucky enough to be at 129 Lyon St. when she was going off to mass (she of-ten went in the middle of the day too), we were fi rst treated to a lecture on the importance of being “once a Catholic, al-ways a Catholic,” aimed di-rectly at Mother, which didn’t sit well with Father, a staunch Lutheran.

It wasn’t above Uncle Johnny, who drove a huge

steamroller for the City of Ottawa, to let out a string of swear words, for no reason at all. The only one who seemed to take offence, or even no-tice, was Aunt Vanetta. And her little hand would fl utter to her chest to make the sign of the cross.

When I was alone, I tried to do it too, but I could never remember if you touched your forehead or your heart fi rst.

It wasn’t unusual to see Aunt Vanetta off in the par-lour alone saying her beads, which I knew were called a rosary, while everyone else was in the kitchen sitting

around the big oilcloth cov-ered table. When the beads weren’t being fi ngered in her hands, they were kept in her spotlessly clean apron pocket.

I’m not sure if Aunt Vanetta thought there might be a fl icker of hope that one of us from out there in Ren-frew County would become Catholic, but one Easter, she presented the fi ve of us chil-dren with our own rosary.

Mother, once a Catholic, said, “Isn’t that lovely,” and Father vowed to never again darken the door at 129 Lyon St.

Of course, that threat was short-lived. He liked Uncle Johnny, and I often saw him laugh so hard that the tears

rolled down his face at the jokes and stories told around that kitchen table.

Often the big steamroller was parked in the yard beside the house, and it reeked of tar, and Uncle Johnny would let each of us country kids climb up behind the wheel, which was the biggest steer-ing wheel I had ever seen, and he would start the engine just so that we could pull a rope that hung inside the cab. That tug would set off a horn that my sister Audrey said could probably be heard on the out-skirts of Ottawa.

And I would think how lucky was my cousin Richard to live at such a house where there was so much excite-

ment.When it was time to head

back to Northcote, I would be very quiet in the Model T and relive all the excitement that swirled around 129 Lyon St. Aunt Vanetta and her strong faith, Uncle Johnny, who when he talked could be heard two blocks away, and the various cousins and aunts, all living together un-der one roof. It was like go-ing to another world.

It would be many decades later that I saw 129 Lyon St. levelled to the ground to make way for a many-storied hotel, leaving me with warm and colourful memories of another time and another place.

MEET DYNA (ID# A185899)

Malcolm Gladwell is an amazingwriter. In his book, The Tipping Point,he describes, “... that magic momentwhen an idea, trend, or social behaviorcrosses a threshold, tips, and spreadslike wild�re. Just as a single sick personcan start an epidemic of the �u, so toocan a small but precisely targeted pushcause a fashion trend, the popularity ofa new product, or a drop in the crimerate.”In the past year or so, we seemed

to have reached a tipping point thatGladwell described. We have seen arelatively small dip in our numbers:about a thousand fewer animals need

our care in a year. This represents a lessthan 10 per cent drop, but the impacthas been much greater. If you visit ourAdoption Centre, it looks empty. Well,empty-ish. But here is the thing: we areadopting more animals than when theAdoption Centre and our holding areawas jam-packed.The relatively small dip in intake

has had a remarkable knock-on effect.Combined with other efforts to enhanceour processes, the reduction in numbershas allowed animals to become readyfor adoption much more quickly andsteadily. Fewer animals stuck waitingfor medical assessment, for surgeries,

or for fostering means all the animalscan be adopted more quickly.The result is less animal stress from

a full shelter, and animals becomingavailable at a more constant rate,and therefore being adopted veryquickly once available — and so theappearance of an empty AdoptionCentre when in fact more animals thanever are �nding forever homes. It isremarkable.Of course, there are still close to

10,000 animals that need and will needour care— and need you— every year,but what an amazing result for thosethat do.

Meet Dyna (ID# A185899), a patient and easygoing girl looking for herpurr-fect match. Dyna is a friendly calico who enjoys curling up in bed withher human companions. She loves her scratching post and hopes her newhome has one she can play with.

Dyna gets along well with other cats and wouldn’t mind making anew feline friend in her new home. She is available for adoption from herfoster home, so if you’d like to meet her call our adoption staff to make anappointment today!

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury is calling foul over a decision by Ot-tawa police to cut corners by not attending calls for noise complaints.

Fleury called on com-munity and protective services committee chair Diane Deans to write a letter to the police services board, express-ing their concern about what that will mean for resi-dents.

The change in policy is planned for April 1.

After that, po-lice will only respond to a noise complaint if there’s a threat to public

safety.Anthony Dimonte,

acting general man-

ager of emergency and protective services, said the change will stretch bylaw services a little thin.

Fleury said if the change goes ahead, Ottawa would be the only municipality in the prov-ince that only has a bylaw response to noise complaints.

Deans asked DiMonte to report back on the resourc-es it would take for bylaw to handle noise complaints alone.

“We shouldn’t work in such silos in the corpora-tion where OPS can make a decision with that kind of impact to bylaw without notice to council,” Deans said.

Police cuts could lead to unanswered noise complaints
