Carp Road Corridor BIA seeking budget increase at AGMTheresa [email protected]

News – The Carp Road Corridor Busi-ness Improvement Area (BIA) will begin its fourth year of operation in 2014 with a look back and a look forward.

The organization’s annual general meet-ing Jan. 22 will take place at the Irish Hills Golf Club from 7:30-9:30 a.m. According to BIA executive director Roddy Bolivar, the meeting is for anyone interested in being part of a collective voice to affect change.

“The AGM would be a good time for an interested business owner or property owner to get involved and continue to be involved through the year and stand for election at the end of the year,” he said, adding 2013 marks the fi nal year for the current BIA board of directors.

The Carp Road Corridor is the only des-ignated rural employment area in Ottawa and has an assessment value in excess of $150-million with more than 200 business and 2,000 employees.

“The highlight success of the year was

the member and area consultation on zon-ing we advocated for with the city respond-ing with a very consultative process. BIA members had long asserted that the zon-ing which came along in 2008 and in par-ticular the RC zoning which makes up half the Corridor did not really fi t (for instance “light industry” was not a permitted use in the RC zone). Changes are expected to be formalized by a zoning by-law update in early 2014,” said Bolivar.

News – There will be more places to fi nd a Vinters Quality Assur-ance (VQA) Ontario wine thanks to a new provin-cial strategy allowing for the sale of such wines at farmers’ markets.

The provincial govern-ment announcement was made Dec. 16 at Niagara College and calls for fi ve-year, $75-million Wine and Grape Strategy that will focus on 100 per cent Ontario grown wines.

Not only will money be invested to help winer-ies upgrade technology, equipment and marketing but the government will allow the sales of VQA Ontario wines at farmers’

markets.A grape and wine sec-

retariat will also be estab-lished and will be headed by Premier and Minister of the Agriculture Kath-leen Wynne and Minister of Environment Jim Brad-ley. The new secretariat is designed to fi nd ways for government and Ontario wine industry partners to work better together.

“I’m committed to support this innovative industry and I encourage consumers to choose On-tario wines fi rst as they share them with family and friends this holiday season and throughout the year,” said Wynne in press release.

Continued from front pageHe said another major un-

dertaking during the past year was being involved in the city’s Offi cial Plan (OP) and Master Plan process.

“We attended all opportu-nities to meet with city staff and made a number of sub-missions including presenting to committee on our view on the city’s employment strat-egy. An important change in the OP is recognition of the corridor under the city’s em-ployment policies,” Bolivar added.

One of the important issues of business at the upcoming AGM will be voting on the new budget. And this year, members will be asked to support of a budget increase of $15,000

“After three straight years

at $100,000, the board is bringing forward a budget of $115,000 with the additional $15,000 earmarked to apply for economic development grants. Such grants usually at least double and in some cases triple the money,” said Bolivar, adding the increase in budget will only be if the BIA is successful with grant applications.

He said the main objective of the board in 2014 is to be-gin a discussion with the city regarding municipal infra-structure for the corridor.

“For instance, would im-provements to roads result in better business opportunity for existing businesses? To move forward in the discus-sion, the board wants to work to quantify the relationship

– how much would improved services cost and how many jobs would those improved services promote,” said Boli-var. “The corridor is an em-ployment area and more jobs in the city is an objective of the city, the BIA and every corridor business member.”

Any BIA member who feels they need improved ser-vices is welcome to attend the AGM. He emphasized the board needs to hear from members who believe “cur-rent levels of service (roads, transit water and hydro) from the city are holding their busi-ness growth back.”

For more information on the upcoming AGM or any BIA activities, contact Roddy Bolivar at 613-314-7597 or [email protected].

AGM will review past year, look to future West students celebrate the holidaysEmily EdwardsWCSS co-op student

Community – In anticipa-tion of the holidays, West Car-leton Secondary School stu-dents celebrated with a Christ-mas spirit week during their fi -nal days of school before their two week vacation.

The fi rst of the four spirit days the students celebrated was Christmas hat day. Fol-lowing, the students dressed in red and green. Also on Tuesday was the annual dance show for dance students, and career fair for co-op students.

Wednesday the students kept warm in their classic Christmas sweaters, and their four day week ended with pa-

jama day as well as a Christ-mas assembly in the gym.

The assembly said farewell to the secondary school stu-dents with games and videos organized by the student coun-cil. Students from all grades joined in on the festive activi-ties such as the eggnog drink-ing contest and Christmas song karaoke, as they said “good-bye” to their friends and teach-ers for the two week break.

With Christmas songs play-ing over the school speakers in between classes, everyone was in the holiday spirit. Contribut-ing to the festive energy were Principal Reg Lavern, and vice principals Darryl Kicul and Denise Croteau. The three traveled together around the

school giving candy canes to each student and wishing them a happy holiday.

Continued from front page“They’re local, they’re good for our econo-

my and they support good jobs.”The news is most welcome by the offi cial

organization that represents 500 grape grow-ers in Ontario, including the three designated viticulture areas: Niagara Peninsula, Lake Erie North Shore and Prince Edward County.

“Ontario’s grape growers appreciate the con-tinued support from our premier and her gov-ernment. The renewal of this program speaks volumes about the economic value each grape grower and winery brings to the Province of

Ontario,” said Bill George, chair of the Grape Growers on Ontario in a press release. “Over 14,000 Ontario jobs are tied to the continued success of 100 Ontario grown wines and the 15,000 acres of vineyards that are now in place across the province.”

As for the impact this news might have on how the Carp Farmers’ Market proceeds, it is too early to tell.

“Our board of directors have not had the opportunity to discuss this issue. I prefer not to comment at the moment,” said Carp market manager Ennio Marcantonio.

Grape growers welcome program news

Memories matter at West Carleton new businessResting Paws Pet Cemetery and Crematorium off ers full service pet after-careSherry [email protected]

Community – West Carleton’s newest business is indeed a pet cem-etery, but that’s where the similari-ties with Stephen King’s horror story end.

Patrick and Sabine Couture are the proud owners of the Resting Paws Pet Cemetery and Crematorium Inc. on Torbolton Ridge Road, the only full-service pet after-care centre in the area.

Far from macabre, the building is bright and serene and the property is designed as an ideal fi nal resting place for that beloved family pet. Roxy the greeter dog is happy to welcome guests and even happier to meet people willing to take a minute to throw her precious Frisbee.

“We aim to bridge the gap between pet owners and veterinary clinics once a family pet passes away,” said Patrick.

The idea for the business was in-spired by one of Patrick’s pastimes and the family’s own experience with

losing pets over the years. Having served in the military for

28 years, Patrick was not ready to sit idly upon retiring so he went back

to school, completing the photonics course at Algonquin College. His lifetime love of woodworking and newly acquired knowledge of la-

sers and the like led him to making urns for pet ashes – complete with plaques or black granite or white marble etchings.

Marketing the urns led the couple to do more research into the industry and they realized there was a defi nite market for the services offered at Resting Paws.

Crematory services are offered in Pembroke but are no longer offered in Ottawa, where animals are shipped to Guelph for cremation.

There are no nearby facilities that offer the full gamut of services, from pickup to cremation to burial of the animal or scattering of the ashes.

So what requirements are there for creating such a business?

“You need to be crazy,” said Pat-rick with a laugh. Patience and a willingness to learn also help.

Getting Resting Paws off the ground began in August 2011 and the doors just opened Nov. 13.

“That’s how long it took to get all the permits and all the details worked out,” said Sabine. It was years of planning, regulations and red tape to get the business going.

“They threw the book at us, and it got to the point that it was getting quite expensive,” she said.

Their perseverance and solid plan-ning paid off.

“In a project like this you have to see the full picture through to the end,” said Patrick. “It’s a huge in-vestment.”

First came the property acquisi-tion, with the Coutures eying up property already zoned for cemetery use. The 15 acres on Torbolton Ridge Road best fi t the bill for the couple, who live in the west end of Ottawa.

Then came the task of grooming the property, constructing the build-ing and purchasing and installing the 18,000-pound crematorium.

To learn more about the business and operating a crematory, Patrick at-tended a funeral directors convention in the United States where he made a connection with a pet crematorium and cemetery in Chicago, Ill.

He and Sabine returned later to spend some time with the owners and learn everything they could. They

have visited other facilities along the way, as well.

PERSONAL TOUCH

The Coutures have always owned pets and their own experiences have helped them understand how to help people dealing with loss.

“The personal touch is really im-portant to us,” said Sabine. “We treat everybody – people and animals – with the respect they deserve.”

There is an open-door policy – cli-ents are welcome to see any area of the facility and are welcome to come back to visit plots or areas where their pets ashes have been scattered.

For clients wishing to have their pet’s ashes returned, private crema-tion is recommended. The animal is cremated alone and once completed, the ashes are returned to the client in a complimentary biodegradable urn.

Communal cremation services are also offered, during which several animals are created at the same time. Ashes are then scattered on the cem-etery grounds and a tribute marker can be purchased and placed near the scattering area.

So far there have been eight pri-vate cremations and three or four communals. Dogs, cats, a love bird and even a guinea pig are among the animals who have been cremated.

Reaction to Resting Paws has been positive.

People are sometimes taken aback at fi rst, but upon further consider-ation often see the value in having the services available.

And while some have said ‘We’re from Dunrobin, we bury our pets in the backyard,’ three or four of the cremations done in the fi rst weeks have been from Dunrobin.

The Coutures have focused on supporting local businesses wher-ever possible, as well, and hope to become a strong partner with local enterprises.

They hope to grow the business eventually, with construction done to accommodate a second crematory when it’s needed.

Standard and personalized urns are available at Resting Paws Cemetery and Crematorium. The cemetery will include Heroes Ridge, where ani-mals who have saved a human life will be looked after free of charge. There are discounts off ered for service animals, as well.

WCSOPA holiday showcase raises funds for new school tumble trackTheresa [email protected]

Arts – A snowstorm couldn’t keep students from the West Carleton School of Performing Arts (WCSO-PA) from showcasing their talents, or an enthusiastic audience from cheer-ing them on.

The Woodlawn school’s annual winter showcase took place at the school at 3987 Dunrobin Rd. Dec. 15. This was just as people were digging out from a snowstorm that dumped more than 15 centimetres of snow on the Ottawa area and dis-rupted many Sunday plans.

The 13th annual showcase featured three mini shows lasting approxi-mately 35 minutes each by WCSO-PA dance and drama students, from recreational and competitive fi elds, showed off their talents.

“This is our 13th annual holiday showcase. Time fl ies,” said WC-

SOPA director Melissa Demers. She said the event is a “very family friendly opportunity to be exposed to the performing arts” and is intended to cultivate an appreciation of dance and drama.

“The show went great and we had a packed audience despite the bliz-zard outside the performances were fl awless and the smiles contagious,” said WCSOPA director Melissa De-mers.

While the showcase was an op-portunity for students to perform, it was also a fundraising event.

“The showcase doubled as a fund-raiser for new equipment. Including a canteen, bake sale and silent auc-tion. The team raised close to $3,000 and plans on purchasing a tumble track over the holidays,” Demers concluded.

To learn more about the WCSO-PA, visit wcsopa.ca, email [email protected] or call 613-832-4648.

Moms helping momsArea woman tackles postpartum depression; creates webpageJessica Cunha

[email protected]

News - Natasha Rose was feeling extremely anxious, fatigued and overwhelmed after the birth of her second child.

“I ended up having a really bad, what I’d call, a panic attack. I didn’t know what was happen-ing to me,” she said. “It was the most paralyzing and debilitating thing I’ve ever experienced. I didn’t know how I was going to take care of my two children.”

Mother to Shea, 3, and Camille, nine months, a visit to the doctor confi rmed that Rose was experiencing severe postpartum anxiety, a form of postpartum depression.

“I’d never felt depressed before,” said the Kanata woman. But she wasn’t able to take part in any of her day-to-day activities. She said she was lucky she has a supportive husband, Kurtis, who helped her through.

Although hospitals give new moms a pack-age of information, there’s almost nothing men-tioned about postpartum depression – nurses only give a verbal warning, Rose said, adding that although public health nurses call one week after the birth, that’s too soon.

One of the biggest misconceptions about postpartum depression is that it happens right away, she said, but symptoms can take weeks or months to show.

Rose, who works in the developmental and services worker program at Algonquin College,

began researching postpartum depression on-line, asking questions on social message boards and talking with other mothers.

“What I realized in my own personal search is that it’s diffi cult to fi nd and access resources,” she said. “When you feel that bad it can be dif-fi cult to advocate for yourself.

“These women helped me, they gave me strength.”

As she struggled to fi nd solutions that worked for her, an idea popped into her head. She cre-ated a Facebook group – Moms Helping Moms with Postpartum Depression – in August to be an online social community of support where people can ask questions and fi nd resources.

She shared her own story in the hope that it could help others.

“For me, the major (hurdle) was saying ‘I’m not OK’ and asking for help,” she said. “You think people will think and wonder what’s wrong with you.

“I felt like if I became transparent it would help other women.”

From there, it just took off, she said. She cre-ated a webpage and hosted a get together with other mothers. She said she wants to create a free “one-stop shop” for mothers with postpar-tum depression, with links to resources, articles and suggestions about what helped her.

“You can go to one place and fi nd most of what you’re looking for,” she said. “From there it became my mission and my goal.”

She said she doesn’t give advice, but op-

tions.“The response has been overwhelming,”

Rose said. “People are coming forward to share their stories.”

With a background in education, her goal is to raise awareness about postpartum depression and help erase the stigma attached to the diag-nosis. In talking with others, she’s heard more than a few mothers say they were scared to go to the hospital and seek help because they thought their children would be taken away from them.

But getting help is the most important thing a mother can do, said Rose.

“Find someone you trust so you can say ‘Look, I don’t feel well.’”

There are various levels of postpartum de-pression (courtesy of postpartum.net), which include:

* Postpartum depression: feelings of anger, sadness, irritability, guilt, lack of interest in the baby, changes in eating and sleeping habits, in-ability to concentrate or thoughts of self-harm-ing or hurting the baby.

* Postpartum anxiety: feelings of losing control, extreme worries and fears, panic at-tacks, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, numbness and tingling.

* Postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder: repetitive, upsetting and unwanted thoughts or mental images, feel the need to do things over and over to reduce anxiety.

* Postpartum post-traumatic stress disor-der: often caused by a traumatic or frightening childbirth, symptoms can include fl ashbacks of the trauma and feelings of anxiety, the need to avoid things related to the event.

* Postpartum psychosis: can include hal-

lucinations, believing things that aren’t true, mistrusting others, periods of confusion and memory loss. This is a severe and dangerous condition and anyone experiencing these symp-toms should seek immediate help.

“We can’t do everything. We all need a little bit of help sometimes,” said Rose. “My new motto is ‘Just ask.’ I’m not afraid anymore.

“It doesn’t last forever. There is hope,” she added. “In the darkness, there is light.”

For more information, visit Rose’s webpage momshelpingmoms.ca or search Facebook for Moms Helping Moms with Postpartum Depres-sion.

Ward 5 West Carleton-MarchCHRISTMAS TREE SAFETY AND DISPOSAL

If you are planning to keep your real Christmas tree up and decorated for a few more days, please remember to water it daily and double check the tree lights to ensure they are in good working order. As your Christmas tree dries, it becomes a fi re hazard that could easily ignite. Make sure the tree is well away from heat sources such as fi replaces, heaters or candles.

If you are ready to dispose of your tree, trees will be picked up as part of the regular garbage and recycling collection schedule in January. Trees must be free of decorations and not wrapped in plastic bags. Check the City of Ottawa Collection Calendar for your Christmas tree pick-up schedule.

Christmases past still haunt me – in a good wayLifestyle - When I was a little

girl, my parents and sister and I would pack boxes of wrapped gifts and casseroles into our sta-tion wagon and high-tail it into the city to spend Christmas Eve at Grandma’s house.

I remember one Christmas where my cousin did our hair in rollers, we put our night-gowns on and sang carols for the adults. She was a bit bossy, and she sang off key but it was fun all the same.

Every Christmas Eve we were allowed to open one gift and I am guessing we didn’t get to choose which package we opened because it always by some miracle turned out to be a new set of fl annel pajamas.

I do have a vague memory of hearing a ruckus and be-ing absolutely convinced that Santa and his reindeer were on the roof. There was no chimney but that didn’t seem to concern me. In my eight-year-old logic I fi gured the fat man could fi nd a way down the laundry chute that went from the attic to the basement.

We left him cookies and milk on Grandma’s kitchen table and

tucked ourselves into the spare rooms we used once a year, as early as possible, so that morn-ing would come even faster.

MORNING EXCITEMENT

In the morning, we awoke to fi nd red felt stockings stuffed to the brim with all manner of things to occupy a kid for an extra hour or so before getting out of bed. This, I’m sure, was meant to buy the parents a few more moments of sleep.

Not sure it worked at all as a strategy. We did a lot of whis-pering and giggling over our candy and magazines but after a few minutes we couldn’t stand it anymore and swung skinny legs out from under the covers and tiptoed down the stairs to the living room.

There, under the Christmas tree and spilling out across the

fl oor were brightly coloured packages – but the best sur-prises were often the ones that weren’t wrapped. For some rea-son I fi gured those unwrapped ones must have come directly from Santa himself, because he would be too busy to wrap.

Soon our parents would join us and allow us to start unwrap-ping. It’s interesting to me now that the gifts themselves don’t make the memories. It’s the ritual, the sight and sounds of tradition and family that I re-member most.

After a quick breakfast we got cleaned up and put on our Sunday best to have Christmas lunch at my aunt’s house. Flash forward to 1991, when I was pregnant with my second. That Christmas I was due to give birth and my aunt actually sug-gested I eat in the kitchen, in-stead of in the dining room with

everyone else (because she was worried about her rug). To this day I do not know if she was joking or not.

Jump forward a few more years and I was spending Christ-mas overseas, in Asia. I hung a few ornaments and lights on a palm tree. Not the same thing. Christmas in Australia was fun, but 30 degrees at midnight and prawns on the Barbie do not a yuletide make.

In 2007 I spent my fi rst Christmas as The Accidental Farmwife. And the last with my father. I have a photo of him suited up to go snowmobiling on Boxing Day, because there was a good early snow that year. He passed away three weeks later.

Our traditions have evolved over the years, but we embrace the new ones as we did the past. I think I’m going to start a Christmas holiday family ski trip tradition. I’m sure we can fi t one in somewhere. I’m bringing my camera along. This is going to be fun.

As we say goodbye to 2013, I’m thinking it was a pretty good year. Bring on 2014.

LETTER

Teacher’s special eff orts really make a big diff erenceTo the Editor:Sometimes in our

lives we meet certain people who have and make a signifi cant differ-ence and make our lives better.

My letter today is to make sure everyone near and farther than Fitzroy Harbour knows that we truly have an “angel” that teaches our children in our School. Her name is Madame Caroline who is the kindergarten teacher at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Fitz-roy Harbour.

Last week I had the honour and privilege of making a Christmas craft with both classes my four-year-old grandson was in the morning and my fi ve-year-old granddaughter in the afternoon.

I thought I would be the one that made a big hit as they brought their Nana to

“show and tell.”I am sure I did but

nothing compared to what I experienced for the short length of time I was in the classroom.

As I was setting up I could not help but notice the stimulating displays, organized stations and charts for the students to follow.

But my big pleasure was watching how Ma-dame Caroline had those children mesmerized with her attitude, tone of voice and silently pow-erful smile. We all want our children to behave especially in school but it seemed effortless and obviously important to

all the children to co-operate with Madame. We rarely get to see our family in a different setting other than our homes and now I rec-ognize the things they have been taught in their classroom.

The children were more than eager to see what she had planned for them and to make sure they did it correctly. Ma-dame Caroline’s positive attitude is just magical. I am sure everyone who has ever mentioned tidy up time would like to know Madam’s Caroline secret. Maybe it is the magic fl ute?

I also know that

her afternoon class has one very special young student that has specifi c needs and although she has help it is genuinely important to her to in-clude him and make him feel like he is one of the kids. And she has two small boys of her own and recently her husband was severely injured in a farming accident.

I wish a TV talk show would send her and her husband (after he recu-perates) away for a week on a hot sunny beach as a reward or the school board would do some-thing really special to recognize her amazing

talent as a teacher, in English and French but I may have to settle with this note to her principal and the newspaper.

We have all been blessed and this world is a much better place for having Madame Caro-line spends time with our children and grandchil-dren.

I truly thank her sin-cerely from my heart for her love and devotion to all her students.

Fondly,Sue Hamilton(Nana to Cameron

and Madelyn Hamil-ton)

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

The technology is lining up pretty well for Christmas this year. Santa’s helpers at the mall will, for a small fee, put your child’s photo with the

big guy on a fl ash drive for you. So there’s that worry taken care of.

It needs hardly to be said that online shop-ping grows every year. People don’t have to go out to be among other people, except to get their fl ash drives from Santa’s helpers.

Also, the word has just come in that it is now possible to buy Christmas trees online. Home Depot in the U.S. has put trees on its website. Ikea sells them in Britain and there’s another big company in Sweden that does it too.

Meanwhile, Amazon is working on a delivery drone. This is a great relief to those people who thought they might have to go out of the house this season and interact with other people.

And there’s this other advantage, found in a newspaper quote from a happy California online tree shopper – “no needles in the car!”

Yes. It’s such a drag at this time of year to have a car that smells like Christmas trees. It reminds you of, well, Christmas.

So things are moving right along. Not that there isn’t room for improvement. Some

children are not being co-operative. They are becoming less and less enthusiastic about having their pictures taken.

This may have to do with the fact that every adult they know now has a camera, often disguised as a phone, and the children are constantly forced to pose. And now they have to stand in line in the mall so that their parents can get them and Santa on a fl ash drive so that they can email photos instead of writing Christmas cards.

But you know, progress is inevitable. Some day it will possible to have robots that will look like children and be more co-operative in front of cameras.

There still remains the necessity of going outside for certain things, such as the picture of Santa and your robot. But surely, if we can

put a man on the moon, we can fi x this.Which leads us, reluctantly, to the follow-

ing heart-warming Christmas story.The Christmas DroneIt had been a diffi cult day and Bob was

wondering whether this might turn out to be the worst Christmas ever. First the children had, for the fourth visit in a row, refused to have their picture taken with Santa. There would be no fl ash drive this Christmas.

Then the outdoor Christmas lights refused to turn on automatically, which meant that Bob had to go outside to fl ip a switch.

Then the WiFi went down. “Oh no!” cried Bob. “How will I fi nish my Christmas shop-ping?”

The Christmas cards were all stuck in the community mailbox with care and the Christ-mas tree he had ordered online was nowhere in sight.

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter on the roof that Bob wondered he would have to get new insulation. But he sprang out of his house to see what was the matter, hoping he could remember the access code to get back in, and lo and behold his eyes beheld a tiny little airplane.

He was hoping that the tiny little airplane could talk, otherwise it would be diffi cult to

tell the rest of the story.“Where did you come from?” he asked the

tiny little airplane.“I’m The Christmas Drone,” the tiny little

airplane said. “I come from Amazon to bring presents to all the little children of the world and their lazy parents.”

“Did you bring my Christmas tree?” Bob asked.

“Not my job,” the Christmas Drone said. “The Ikea drone should be along any minute.”

“This will be the happiest Christmas ever!” said Bob, although, to tell the truth, he was getting a bit tired of the clatter on the rooftop.

The heartwarming technology of Christmas

It’s been another good year

COLUMN

The year 2013 has been many things.Here in Ottawa, it has been a year of new

beginnings. A stadium is in the works, tun-nels are bored beneath the streets, two new

sporting institutions are taking shape, and offi cial plans have been ratifi ed to guide our city into the future.

It was a year of a terrible tragedy, when the lives of six people were lost during a horrifi c bus crash near the Fallowfi eld Transitway station. Dozens were injured. We can only hope that the lessons learned from that tragic moment in time will help us prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

It has been a year of controversy. Daniel Alfreds-son snuck out of town in the middle of the night. Tall towers have been planned and opposed, heritage has been preserved and destroyed, buses have been di-verted, highways constricted by construction. Bridges have been delayed, bridges have been abandoned, and bridges have been mired in mismanagement. It was a bad year for bridges. It wasn’t a particularly good year for electronic bus passes either.

It has been a year of consistency. Winter was cold, summer was steamy and property tax increas-es were kept to a minimum. Bluesfest still rocked. Our mayor still managed to appear at every pancake

breakfast and barbecue he could.Elsewhere, political uncertainty and scandal were

hallmarks of 2013. Ontario witnessed the arrival of Kathleen Wynne as premier. She has been dogged by the legacy of her predecessor, and Queen’s Park has teetered on the brink of an election ever since.

On Parliament Hill, things haven’t been much different. The Senate expense scandal has gobbled up great chunks of time in both the red chamber and House of Commons. When it wasn’t the trials and tribulations of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau leading the evening news or topping the front pages, there was always Toronto’s Rob Ford there to fi ll the vacuum.

Yet through it all, Ottawa has a great deal to be thankful for. Despite federal public service job cuts, the city is still faring better economically than many across the province. The light rail system currently under construction will revolutionize transit and spur development across the city.

Ottawa is a wonderfully green city, with parks and open spaces easily accessible to all who live here. It is a vibrant city, with culture to spare for those who wish to seek it out. The past year has been many things, but it has proven once again how fortunate we are to live in the nation’s capital.

Children and the ChildBefore all the joy and celebration at St. Michael’s concert on the evening of Dec. 17 prin-cipal Dwight Delahunt welcomed families with a few words, including: “It’s the season of the Child. But it’s also the season of the children, your children.” The children entertained to much applause with skits such as “The Littlest Christmas Tree” by grades 1 and 2 class-es, above; and Mrs. O’Rourke’s junior and senior kindegarteners.

It can’t be a Christmas concert without at least one song accompanied by bells. This time it was “Joy to the World”. Other acts to make the Late Show with David Letterman’s top 10 list including a clever variation of “What Does Fox Say” called “What Does Elf Say” and a very sweet fi ddle version of “The Little Drummer Boy” and a lively “Jingle Bells”.

It wasn’t exactly barn animals, but at least one none human friend was invited to the show. Dance, too, was among the many talents on display.

Many triumphs, tragedies unfold in West Carleton in 2013News – Take a trip down

memory lane and look back on some of the happenings in West Carleton between July and December 2013.

JANUARY

The year started off with a proposal by the Progressive Conservative Party to sell off Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). In a series of white papers that proposed signifi cant changes to labour law, health care, and energy,

the PCs under Tim Hudak also fl oated the idea of selling off the LCBO and OLG. Critics pointed to the Criminal Code which says proceeds of gam-bling must be collected by the government. Local MPP Jack MacLaren shot back saying

a PC government would still collect signifi cant tax from a privatized OLG.

Wilbur, the Pinto Valley Ranch pig who endangered himself and others with his cavalier attitude toward traf-fi c along Galetta Side Road, found a new – and much safer – home this month. “Lots of

people come up to us in the summer and say they saw our pig walking down the middle of the road, on the yellow line, but that’s just what he likes to do,” said owner Tracey Jar-dine. “He’s a very confi dent pig.” Wilbur called Ottawa South home these days.

Two dog lovers out on the

Ottawa River ice to save their pet pooch found themselves in want of saving. Having pushed an aluminum boat to about the midway point, they were spot-ted from Ferry Road stuck with the dog after the ice gave way. Rescuers from the fi re services brought them back safe and sound.

See YEAR, Page 12

A nearly new trail clearing machine, owned by the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails As-sociation, caught fi re and burned out of control in January. The operator escaped un-harmed, but was a little more than unnerved when he looked back from the driver’s seat to see fl ames. The machine was a write off .



R001

Continued from Page 11

A mother and son died af-ter their car slid into the river at the end of Ferry Road, just metres from the family home. Donna and Daron Graves, 61 and 29 respectively, for a couple of days beforehand were unaccounted for. It was tricky work for emergency crews to pull the vehicle from the ice-covered river.

The iconic Cheshire Cat pub burnt to the ground on Monday, Jan. 28. A former one-room schoolhouse built in 1883, the restaurant re-cently underwent extensive renovations and an expan-sion. The cause of the fi re is thought to have been old wires chewed through by mice. Have no fear – the Cat has come back.

FEBRUARY

One of the central in-front-of-the-cameras personali-ties at YTV is West Carleton Secondary School alumni Andy Chapman. The host of the hilarious Extreme Baby-sitting where unsuspecting teens fi nd themselves on the wrong end of an elaborate prank, Chapman is also the Saturday morning bloc host and a comic paying his dues on the mostly Toronto area circuit.

The restaurant scene was in fl ux last winter, with Sam-my’s, a burger and fries joint that builds off its namesake’s popularity in Dunrobin, felt some growing pains and had to reduce hours to be-come a summer operation. The Greystone Grill opened

to much fanfare in October 2012, but troubles showed when sporadic hours began appearing. Meanwhile, long-time eateries The Light-house and The Point Lounge cruised along as per usual on the dining front.

Residents along Second Line Road were none too pleased when they learned the city was going to change their name. Other parts of the amalgamated city share the same name, which can lead to confusion and the loss of crucial time for re-sponders in an emergency. Many agreed the change was needed, but they didn’t ap-preciate the short list. They wanted something that better refl ected the historic name, not a former Kanata mayor.

See SCHOOL, Page 13

Year starts with tragic loss of life on the Ottawa River

One of the more heartwarming stories of the year - and one of the most talked about - had to do with a pig’s wanderlust.

We had several interviews with West Carleton residents who regularly appear on national television shows. Fashion consultant Erica Wark was among them. She is a staple on CBC’s Steven and Chris.

MARCH

Early March was when word fi rst emerged that weapons-grade uranium waste could pass along Highway 417. The toxic brew, containing highly enriched uranium would travel from Atomic Energy of Cana-da’s laboratories in Chalk River to a site in South Carolina.

It was to take several trips between late 2013 and 2016, though exact details are kept secret for security reasons.

A Dunrobin paddler won a silver and two

bronze medals at the Pan-American Cham-pionships in Mexico. Cameron Smedley, 22, fi rst made his presence felt on the in-ternational scene when he secured a second place fi nish in the pre-world championships in 2006. He was even slated to participate in the 2012 London Olympics but a con-troversial decision by the International Ca-noe Federation denied Canada a spot in the competition.

A right wing think tank hoisted the area’s only high school onto a pedestal this year. The Fraser Institute ranked West Carleton Secondary School as the eighth best in the province, out of 725. The Report Card on

Ontario’s Secondary Schools 2013 was received with some caution by the school administration. Principal Colin Anderson credited the students, staff and others for the school’s long-term success. At the el-ementary school level, St. Michael’s Cath-olic in Corkery placed 142nd, Stonecrest 1,107, and Huntley 1,405 out of 2,714. St. Michael’s Fitzroy was not included.

The third time was (sort of) a charm for police in Constance Bay. They fi nally nabbed the vandals who were repeatedly attacking St. Gabriel’s Church Hall during recent weeks.

Food and trash were tossed everywhere, causing great frustration among the 150 parish-ioners of the Bayview Drive Catholic church. Young offenders were caught and confessed. They were too young to have their names pub-licized.

A parkette was named in honour of Bert Re-itsma. After decades of volunteering in West Carleton, family, friends, and offi cials gathered at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre for the ceremony. A self-effacing Reitsma was vis-ibly moved by the naming and plaque presenta-tion. “It’s a community effort,” he said. “It’s for them.”

APRIL

The many horse owners and horse ranch businesses in West Carleton had a diffi cult year of unpredictability in 2013. The future of horse racing at the Rideau Carleton Raceway was left in limbo after the Slots-At-Racetracks program was cancelled. The raceway already cut pro-gramming from three race days down to two, said National Capital Region Harness Horse Association president John MacMillan. The fear and uncertainty grew worse when the slots were shut down. “Horse people have essentially been left out in the cold,” he said. Since its in-ception in 1998, the slots program has helped sustain the industry by providing about $3.7 bil-lion in slot revenue. Horse people took home 10 per cent of that money. Horse racing employs many rural residents locally and throughout the

province.

Anglers and hunters were united with en-vironmentalists when it came to Conservative changes to the federal waters’ act. It remains un-clear whether anyone can legally canoe or boat on rivers such as the Madawaska, Mississippi, Carp and Jock rivers. The government scaled back federal control in favour of private, giving landowners more latitude to obstruct public ac-cess on millions of lakes and rivers. Red fl ags fi rst went up when the 130-year-old Navigable Waters Protection Act – used to dictated where bridges and other obstructions to waterway navigation are allowed – was changed to the Navigation Protection Act that oversees just 8,500 rivers, including the Ottawa.

Constance Bay’s Karen McCrimmon didn’t win the federal Liberal leadership race, but she says she gained invaluable experience travel-ling across the country learning about Canadi-ans and is ready to take on the Conservatives during the 2015 election in Carleton-Missis-sippi Mills.

A favourite member of the West Carleton community died on April 15, leading to a mas-sive outpouring and the largest wake in Pilon’s Funeral Home’s history. Lee Cavanagh, past president of the Carp Fair and Kinburn native, struggled with cancer for some seven years, inspiring fundraisers along the way. He is sur-vived by his wife Susan and daughters Nicole and Rebecca, and a community of admirers.

Another Christmas Past,

It’s time to Sit and Relax

MPP stands up for frustrated Hydro usersContinued from Page 15In response to community inquiries the city fl oated the idea of a skatepark for Carp. The city said youths would have to show a strong interest and the community would have to generate some of the money, but if the demand could be proven, the city would consider it. It would be about $200,000 and located near the outdoor rink.

MAY

Hydro One complaints have piled up over the last few years, but few were more shocking than that of Judy Kauffeld’s. The Pamure Road resident’s typical bill of about $123 came in at $644. MPP Jack MacLaren has fi elded plenty of calls on Hydro One bills. He hears more com-plaints about Hydro One than anything else. In fact, he has had problems with the electricity provider. “I don’t have any confi dence in the bills,” MacLaren said. A recent bill was a his-toric high, even though his kids are grown and he spends much time in Toronto.

It was revealed that use of the West Carleton Food Aid catapulted by 40 per cent while do-nations plummeted by 37 per cent this year. “That’s unheard of. We can’t keep going that way,” said food aid auditor Gary Robillard. The group determined it would need another $10,000 soon just for food. In the fi rst six months, they fi lled more than 190 orders. At the same time last year the number of orders was 163.

Bell Capital Cup hits the ice for its 15th year Dec. 28Tyler Hooper West Carleton Review

News - The Bell Capi-tal Cup is getting ready to kick-off its 15th year with 310 teams participating in the tournament.

The hockey tourna-ment is scheduled to run from Saturday, Dec. 28, to Wednesday, Jan. 1, and will consist of teams from the atom and peewee age groups, consisting of both boys and girls between the ages of 9-12. Teams will be competing for the Al-len J. MacDonald Memo-rial Trophy.

Nineteen teams will be crowned champions and the top-fi ve teams of each division will be honoured as “world champions.”

Scott Lawryk, general manager of the tourna-ment, said 11 teams will be coming from Europe and Asia to participate. Canada, Finland, the United States, Germany, China, Austria, Japan and Germany will all be repre-sented at the competition.

The competition will

also feature a strong local presence with approxi-mately 230 teams from the Ottawa area.

Admission is free for those looking to attend. “Thousands of people will take in the tournament over the fi ve days,” Law-ryk said.

Funds are raised solely through team registration and sponsorship.

“The main percentage

of funds will be going back to minor hockey,” Lawryk said, adding they hope to raise between $70,000 to $80,000.

Lawryk said he thinks the competition has raised almost $2.6 million in the last 14 years.

Lawrky added that 3,400 paricipants from the tournament will be going to the Dec. 28 game be-tween the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins. Law-ryk said it will allow the younger teams, particular-

ly the international ones, to “get a look at hockey at the highest level.”

All of the triple A di-visions will have all-star games while every other level will have a skills competition.

There will be a total of 19 divisions in the tour-nament. Matches will take place in 16 arenas throughout the Ottawa area. Lawryk added the tournament is “wide open to the public.”

Automotive Shopping Guide

WEST

by Brian Turner

Lincoln marked another milestone recently in its journey to compete decisively in the prestige and luxury market with the all-new 2015 MKC SPV (Small Premium Utility Vehicle). The Lincoln design team faced the dual challenge of meeting the ever-changing demands of younger luxury vehicle consumers while further defining the Lincoln design DNA. The MKC Concept, which was revealed to the public at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, introduced a uniquely crafted wraparound lift-gate, a design feature that carried over to the production model. Its side-cut design gives MKC an uninterrupted rear-view to epitomize elegance, while its hands-free feature is another example of Lincoln’s commitment to build customer-friendly vehicles.

Those aspirations also carry through to the interior, where the merging of craftsmanship and technology combine to offer a warm, luxurious environment. Featuring an architecturally unique instrument panel that showcases Lincoln’s signature push-button gear shifter, MKC creates an open, welcoming interior. Inviting leathers and available Bridge of Weir leather and real-wood trim accentuate

MKC’s elegance and grace. “We gave attention to every detail to convey a stylish, luxurious vehicle,” said Soo Kang, Lincoln interior design chief. “The structure of the interior allows for openness, and that space contributes to the overall ambience. We want this vehicle to not only meet but often exceed the expectations of the new Lincoln customer.”

“We’re confident we’ve created an all-new vehicle that will attract new customers to the brand while meeting the expectations of long-time Lincoln drivers,” said Max Wolff, director, Lincoln Design. “The execution of the new liftgate is a prime example of how a signature premium design element can create a better customer experience.”

In the 2015 MKC, Lincoln will introduce a series of customer-focused comfort features they call ‘Lincoln Experiences’. Systems such as ‘Approach Detection’ will allow the MKC to respond to an approaching owner (identified by the key in his or her possession) and illuminate the ground near the doors and in the outer door handle pockets for easier and safer entry. A communication system will allow drivers to interact with the vehicle remotely using the

smart phone-enabled MyLincoln Mobile app. An embedded modem on each vehicle communicates with the app which allows owners to start, lock, unlock and locate the vehicle. Drivers also can use the app to perform a variety of other functions such as place a call for roadside assistance; monitor the vehicle’s fuel level; check the tire pressure and battery status; and program engine start times. .“Lincoln Experiences are about creating a warm, personal driving experience every time a Lincoln owner approaches their vehicle,” said Matt VanDyke, Director, Global Lincoln. “Today’s premium car buyer is more demanding than ever. Our goal is to create vehicles that not only meet those evolving demands, but exceed them and redefine what the luxury car-buying and driving experience should be.”

Production of the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2014 at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Ky. Vehicles will begin arriving to Lincoln dealerships next summer. Canadian pricing has been announced, starting at $39,940.

CARSTAR Kanata: Welcoming Customers with

Reliable Experts for All Types of Automotive Service

by Brian Turner

When a trusted area collision repair centre such as Allard’s Collision teams up with a nationwide network of progressive service providers like CARSTAR, the results are a definite plus for the region’s car owners. Owned by industry and customer satisfaction veteran Yvon Allard, CARSTAR Kanata, located at 33 Edgewater Street is one of the largest centres in the CARSTAR network and boasts the latest equipment and some of the best technicians in the country. This combination has helped to build a strong reputation among customers and insurance companies alike and Yvon is happy to welcome new and repeat clients for regular vehicle maintenance and mechanical repairs as well as collision, paint, and body restorations.

What few people outside of the auto repair business know is that in order to run a successful body-shop like CARSTAR Kanata, a complete and effective support system must be in place to deal with the mechanical, electrical, and electronics components of a modern vehicle in order to return it to like-new condition after a collision. To that end, Yvon Allard has recruited and trained an elite team of automotive specialists and has installed all the equipment needed to successfully deal with the technology-laden vehicles that roll down our roads today. This team continually receives training and updates to keep them on top of emerging vehicle design and manufacturing trends for all makes and models.

So it was a natural progression for CARSTAR Kanata to offer a full menu of maintenance and mechanical repair services for those car owners seeking an affordable and reliable service provider without having the need for a collision repair service. Now Yvon’s customers can get just about any required service from a quick and thorough oil change to a brake-system overhaul to an air-conditioning recharge and so much more without having to deal multiple shops and long waits for appointments. The nation-wide resources of CARSTAR have made a lot of this possible and the end result is a growth in repeat business. “We are impressed by CARSTAR’s extensive guidance and impeccable training programs,” says Yvon. “Our ultimate goal has always been to provide an unsurpassed customer service experience and we will continue to do that as part of the CARSTAR network. We want every one of our customers to remain a lifetime customer.”

So whether your vehicle is in need of a set of quality winter tires, an engine oil change service, a suspension repair, or any of a myriad of automotive needs that arise every day, CARSTAR Kanata is the place to go. And don’t forget they offer a complete range of auto glass repair and replacement services, all backed by a nation-wide guarantee. They’re open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm and on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. You can reach them at 613-836-6120 or by email at [email protected].

News - The 2014 Walk for Memories in sup-port of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County aims to be the biggest and best one yet.

With the number of participants hovering around the 600-person mark in 2013, not to mention just over $260,000 raised in funds for the society, the organizing committee is hoping the event draws even higher numbers.

“We just keep setting our sights a little high-er,” said Tracey Pagé, who has been on the com-mittee since the beginning of the event in 1996. The Kanata woman was instrumental in creat-ing the Walk for Memories, which has steadily grown over the years. That fi rst walk raised $22,000 and saw 175 participants.

The goal for the 2014 walk is to have more than 600 people participate either in teams or individually and raise $275,000 for the Al-zheimer Society.

“What these funds do is they support people in the community who are living with demen-tia,” she said.

The funds also help provide for caregivers.“It stays in the community for support, edu-

cation and resources,” said Pagé, who grew up in Manotick. “Anyone who’s had a family member with dementia, they know there’s a lot of care required.”

The 2014 Walk for Memories will take place on Sunday, Jan. 26, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Carleton University Fieldhouse. The event

is held annually on the last Sunday in Janu-ary at the conclusion of Alzheimer Awareness Month.

“It’s fun for the whole family,” said Pagé. “It’s got that unique element. You can give a lit-tle bit back with some exercise and some fun.”

Last year’s walk saw around 60 teams par-ticipate, many decked out in team costumes or colour-coordinated outfi ts. Ages ranged from infants to grandparents, said Pagé. There are lanes for all speeds, she added, so wheelchairs and strollers are more than welcome.

Participants who raise $100 or more will also receive a free T-shirt.

“We wanted to have an activity centre run by the youth and driven by the youth,” said Pagé. “It’ll be educational and an activity at the same time so there’s something other than walking.”

A memory board and slideshow will also be set up during the walk. Attendees are invited to submit a photo by email of who they’re walk-ing for ahead of time, or they can post a photo or phrase on the message board the day of the event.

“We like to see people’s faces lighting up when they see their family member’s pictures of who they’re walking for,” said Pagé.

The Sons of Scotland pipe band will lead the fi rst lap around the track, and Ozone and Free Association will provide live musical entertain-ment.

To register, visit walkformemories.ca. For more information, visit alzheimer.ca/ottawa, email [email protected], or call 613-523-4004 ext. 132.

This particular Christmas concert was memorable for many reasonsLifestyle - The Christmas concerts at the

Northcote School usually went off without a hitch. Miss Crosby saw to that!

For the entire month of December we had rehearsals every day after school. Never could we miss even a minute of our studies. Oh no, not with Miss Crosby!

That meant it was getting on to dark by the time we walked the three-and-a-half-mile trek back home.

And every last pupil had to take part. It didn’t matter if you had a voice like a crow, you sang in the choir. If you were so shy, you couldn’t say your name out loud, you had a part in the Nativity scene anyway.

And the program rarely varied. The parents who crowded into the Northcote School to see their children perform could count on a repeat performance of the year before.

That is, all except that one year when every-thing that could go wrong, went wrong!

We had rehearsed until we knew our lines backwards and frontwards. The tree was up in the corner, and the school room had been scrubbed from top to bottom.

Christmas messages were written on the blackboards, and the desks had been piled in the cloak room, and chairs moved in from the

United Church.We pupils were to be at the school early, with

our parents arriving in time for the concert.Well, as soon as we got to school, there was

trouble brewing. First of all, the mice had eaten all the popcorn balls off the Christmas tree on Friday night, so all that was left for decora-tion was the wisps of silver tinsel Miss Crosby brought from home each year, and the coloured paper stars each pupil made.

Of course, there was no piano in the school, and so that year Miss Crosby had Three Mile Herman’s parents bring in their crank-up Vic-trola (I think the only Victrola in the entire Northcote area), and from someone else she scrounged a record of Silent Night.

The record was as big as a meat platter, and since Three Mile knew how to get the music out of the Victrola, he was to make it work at the appropriate time in the concert.

The appropriate time was when the Nativity Scene was coming to a close, and just before Santa was to burst through the back door.

Bad Marguirite, as usual, was an angel, after she had complained loud and long that she was tired of being a sheep, and to keep peace Miss Crosby had let her wear a handmade silver halo like Velma and me, who were also angels.

My sister Audrey was again the Virgin Mary, which didn’t please Cora one bit.

Finally, the parents were crammed into the school, the old stove was belting out the heat, and you couldn’t see out the windows for the steam off bodies and the bad smell of over-shoes and gum rubbers hung in the room like a cloud.

The fi rst thing that happened to put a damper on the concert was when big Emma grabbed a hold of the make-shift curtain (just a group of fl our bag sheets hung on chicken wire to separate the performers from the audience) to stop herself from falling, and the entire ‘stage-curtain’ came down like a cloud wafting from the sky.

Someone got a ladder from the cloak room, and it was hammered back up and the concert was ready to begin.

Miss Crosby got us through the singing

numbers, and what passed for a pantomime, and the Nativity Scene was about to begin. Someone turned down the oil lamps on cue, and Two Mile got the nod from Miss Crosby to start cranking the Victrola.

Somehow, someone brought the wrong re-cord, and we were listening to a high screechy voice belting out a song from the First World War! Two Mile Herman never missed a beat, and kept turning the handle on the side of the Victrola and we continued on with the Nativity scene as if that was the music we had rehearsed with all along, even though none of us, except Two Mile, had ever heard the record before.

The concert fi nally came to a close, and after thunderous applause from the parents, the en-tire school room of 18 pupils, sat on the fl oor at the front to await Santa Claus, who was sup-posedly standing out in the cold waiting to be let in.

Uncle Alec Thom got up and went to the door, and Santa, in all his glory, fl ew in, ringing a set of bells on a piece of rein, exactly like our horse King wore, and just about knocked Uncle Alec for a loop.

He careened into the class-room, and immediately sat right on the knee of the fi rst woman in the back row. She let out a war-whoop and with a mighty shove pushed him to the fl oor, where it took three strapping men to right him.

It was obvious to everyone that Santa had been into some-thing stronger than green tea.

By this time the heat in the crowded little one-room

school house was bouncing off the walls.

Uncle Alec, my father and a couple other men got ‘Santa’ into a chair at the back of the room, and within minutes he was sound asleep and snor-ing loud enough to waken the dead.

Miss Crosby ended up hand-ing out the Christmas presents herself, a few of the mothers passed around cookies, and the Christmas concert came to a close for another year.

Someone drove ‘Santa’ home in his own cutter, and the talk around Northcote for weeks on end was about all the excitement at the school that cold winter’s night.

My brother Emerson and Cecil said it was the best Christmas concert ever held at the Northcote school.

Mary amused by Santa’s actions ARH receives funds to expand adult day programNews – Arnprior Regional

Health (ARH) is receiving almost $80,000 to expand the adult day program in this area.

A recent funding an-nouncement of almost $900,000 by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) for day programs for seniors over the age of 65 will be shared around Eastern Ontario. ARH will receive $78,912 in addition to the existing fund-ing of $36,652 for its adult day program.

In a news release, the ARH

board expressed delight with the funding, noting it fi ts in well with its goal of “doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person – and having the best possible results.”

The money will help com-munities ensure the provi-sion of the right care, at the right time, in the right place, it says.

“This is terrifi c news for Arnprior. As our community ages, there is a need to make investments that will allow seniors to stay safe at home while providing short-term

relief for the family care-giver.”

ARH points out that both the adult day program and the Assisted Living Services Program provide care to seniors while al-lowing them to retain their independence. These sup-ports also help to prevent early admission to a long-term care facility or admis-sion to a hospital, ARH maintains.

“As the health care system continues to change, Arn-prior Regional Health is well positioned to receive invest-ments from the LHIN which improve local access to ser-vices for seniors,” said ARH board chair Jay Johnston.

The funding means an in-crease in staffi ng, an increase in the number of days the program is offered and an in-crease to the program by add-ing 12 spaces for clients.

“These are the type of investments that are trans-forming the health system and improving the lives of individuals and families,” explained Champlain LHIN CEO Chantale LeClerc.

“The Champlain LHIN is working closely with our partners to expand programs and put in place new initia-tives that address the needs of communities across our region. This work is well aligned to our key strategy of building a strong foundation of primary, home and com-munity care.”
