Blue bin will overfl ow with more plastics

LAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The city is taking the guesswork out of recy-cling by allowing all plastic containers in the blue bin.

Now, following an announcement on June 10, the only materials residents can’t put in their re-cycling bins are plastic bags and Styrofoam con-tainers.

Most notably, the thin No. 1 plastic containers used to package fruit, eggs and baked goods – also referred to as “clamshell” containers – are now al-lowed in the bin, as are single-serve yogurt cups. Plastic pails, painting trays and fl ower pots can also be recycled.

That may come as a surprise to many residents who were already putting those items in their bin, leaving the city’s waste collection contractor to sort the forbidden plastics out of the pile. That extra step is now eliminated as the change is ef-fective immediately.

Part of the confusion is because the city used to collect many of these types of plastic in the past, but a dip in the market for some recyclable plastics around 2003 meant it cost municipalities more to collect certain plastics than they could get in return for selling them in the commodities market. Ottawa and other municipalities stopped collecting some types of plastic because it was too costly to do so.

But the provincial government recently created a fi nancial incentive for two facilities in southern Ontario to buy types of plastic that aren’t in high demand, so the city now has a buyer who is will-ing to purchase those types of plastic.

From ‘More’, page 1The city’s solid-waste services depart-

ment estimates the change will divert an additional 1,400 tonnes of waste from the landfi ll.

But River Coun. Maria McRae, who heads the city’s environment committee, said she expects residents will put a lot more than that into their blue bins now that recycling will be simpler.

“We expect to collect a lot more than this.”

That will bring Ottawa closer to its target of diverting 60 per cent of waste away from the landfi ll, said Mayor Jim Watson.

“Anything to bring us closer to 60 per cent is good for the environment and our pocketbooks,” he said.

The expansion will end up costing the city around $46,000. While the addition of new plastics is expected to generate around $50,000 in revenue, it will also cost more to collect additional plastic.

But the cost is worthwhile because it helps extend the life of the city’s landfi ll, said Marilyn Journeaux, the city’s man-ager of sold waste services.

“Our landfi ll is a valuable asset,” Jour-neaux said.

Now, the city will try to get the message out to residents. McRae said a lot of that public education will happen at events that were already planned for the fall to inform residents about the new biweekly garbage/weekly green bin collection sys-tem that will begin in June of 2012.

Remember your outstanding dad on Father’s DayJENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

Roland Hall, a Bells Corners dad, just likes to have fun with his daughter Faith.

This summer he said he plans to try and build a soapbox derby car.

“She has shown some interest in tak-ing this apart and putting them back togeth-er. So all we need are a few spare parts and a little hill,” he said.

Hall and his wife Jessie Go-g a n - H a l l started the E ve r y b o dy Kids Club — which be-gan as a way to help their daughter make friends when they moved to Bells Cor-ners from the east end.

“Then we had 17 kids at our house so we fi gured we had to do something,” he said, adding that they moved the pro-gram to the Westcliffe Estates Communi-ty Association building on Seyton Drive a couple of years ago.

They hold the club every Sunday at the community building, but last week he wasn’t able to go in.

“They were making Father’s Day cards and Faith wanted it to be a surprise,” he said.

On Father’s Day, Hall said he plans to fundraise for the Ottawa Regional Can-cer Society. His own father is fi ghting the disease and Hall and some friends have formed a team called Cal’s Army.

Hall was the oldest of six children and said he remembers tutoring his younger sister and her friends.

It’s an occupation that followed him into his adult life and now he is a sub-stitute teacher for the Ottawa Catholic Board. He also runs Children Achieve-ment Learning Success — he has some clients who are autistic and some who are special needs, but said that he would help any child who needs a leg up.

When he isn’t doing that he helps coach sports’ teams.

“I used to coach T-Ball when Faith was into that, now it’s soccer and I am sure it will be many other things. I am a decent athlete and I can pick up the skills eas-ily and break them down for people,” he said.

“Being a dad is just a way to be a big kid again, going out running around, playing tag…

“The thing that makes me happiest is helping my daughter day by day and bringing a smile to her face.”

DAVE KENT

Dave Kent, a resident of Crystal Beach, is the father of six.

The retired computer support worker is also heavily involved with scouting. He has done every level from Beavers to Rovers and will return to Beavers in the fall because of a shortage of parent vol-unteers.

Their chil-dren now range in age from 19 to 35.

Kent said he joined Scouts with his son Mi-chael.

The sec-ond young-est Malcolm is still in-volved in Scouts and volunteers to help plan a camp with 400 people near Perth every summer.

Emma, who is 19 and headed for Car-leton, still volunteers with Girl Guides.

Kent helps to clean Maki Park and work the winter festival for the Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association.

“I like the scouts to be involved in the community,” he said. “It’s an attitude I tried to instill in my children as well.”

When asked about having six children, Kent shrugged it off and passed off the credit.

“We had a busy few years and because I am visually impaired my wife Lynn does all the driving. There were some days where we had to take one or more kids to soccer games. She has logged a lot of kilometres,” Kent said.

Kent said his favourite part of being a father is enjoying the simple things.

“I can remember taking the kids to see Star Wars when it fi rst came out and just watching their faces. It was great.”

DOUG MACKINNON

Doug MacKinnon, a long-time Crys-tal Beach resident, maybe letting his children go as they grow up and go the post-secondary school, but he still gets to share their interests through scouting.

MacKinnon got into scouting in 1997 with his oldest son Derek, because he re-membered being in Cubs and having his dad as a leader.

His daughter Heather started in Scouts at fi ve years of age and she is still going strong at 18, and Ben is still volunteering at 21.

“I think they enjoy the appreciation they get when they help other people,” he said.

With three kids, MacKinnon said he has learned not to sweat the small stuff.

“Ben went through a phase where he wanted to wear all his clothes backwards and inside out.

“SIt lasted about a year and drove his grandmother crazy, but we just let him do it because we wanted him to know he could make his own decisions,” MacKin-non said.

MacKinnon, who worked for Nortel in the high tech boom, said that his role as a father was to guide his children. His oldest, Derek said he wanted to be an as-tronaut.

“He hated science and math though, so I asked him why and he said it was be-cause he wanted to go into space. I told him he should do what he loved and even-tually there would be another way to do that,” he said.

So about half way through Grade 12 Derek picked up history and politics and got a scholarship to Carleton University.

For Fathers Day, MacKinnon will be volunteering to run a Nepean-area fam-ily camp and building a rope bridge.

College receives grant for equipment

STAFF

Algonquin College’s director of Ap-plied Research and Innovation, Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, applauds the government for their recent investment of $334,515 in equipment for research projects at the college. The recently-announced $334,515 has been earmarked for equipment in fi ve key areas:

• A 3D printer to provide rapid proto-typing for design and engineering for the Faculty of Technology and Trades, and the Faculty of Arts, Media and Design ($24,475);

• A mobile science unit equipped with on-board research instrumentation that will be used for environmental research by the Forestry Program at the Pembroke Campus ($104,103);

• Fibre optics to upgrade and enhance the fi bre optical networks research pro-gram ($51, 854) in the Photonics Pro-gram;

• Lasers to rapidly prototype and test novel optics and laser confi gurations for the Faculty of Technology and Trades ($140,862); and,

• Computer applications including serv-ers and associated equipment to improve collaboration with partners ($13,221) across the college.

“This type of funding demonstrates that the Government of Canada recog-nizes the important role colleges play in the national research agenda,” said Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, director of Applied Research and Innovation at Algonquin College, said.

This equipment funding for Algonquin College came as a part of the Natural Sci-ences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) College and Commu-nity Innovation (CCI) Program’s Applied Research Tools and Instruments (ARTI) grants. These grants enhance the abil-ity of colleges to undertake applied re-search.

Whatever their dream is, the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club helps local high school students reach for it.

Whether their goal is nursing or to get into computer science, the Rotary Club hands out bursaries to fi ve deserving stu-dents every year.

Each of the students will receive $1,000 towards their post secondary studies and is selected by a committee based on their academic acheivements and community involvement.

Jessica Bisson, for example, logged 5,000 volunteer hours in fi ve years. A stu-dent at St. Nicholas Adult High School, Bisson volunteers with Christie Lake Kids Camp. A former Christie Lake at-tendee herself, Bisson works all year round with at-risk kids and plans to at-tend Algonquin College in the fall to take the child and youth worker program.

Bisson had an 85 per cent average dur-ing her fi nal year at St. Nicholas and is no stranger to hard work — dealing with as many as 85 at-risk youth between 13 and 18 years of age.

“It’s so much fun,” she said. “Their successes are my successes.”

So many of the students picked are ex-amples to their communities.

Dana Sallanfranque is a mother of a one-year-old and plans to get married in August. She worked her way through school at Youville Centre.

“Imagine getting up taking your child to daycare then going to spend the day in class, then going home and doing it all over again.

“These students did that and also worked really hard in their school com-munity,” said Diane Hutton, the present-er of the award at the June 9 meeting of the Rotary Club.

Sallanfranque said she plans to attend

Algonquin in the fall for health sciences.Then it’s onto a program in practical

nursing.“Then if I like it, I may go to university

to get my registered practical nursing,” she said.

Maranda Mole, whose son is 20 months old, has gone to other high schools to share her story of being a young mother. She plans to be a probation offi cer and was just offered a job at the law fi rm where she did her co-operative educa-tion placement. In the fall she will be at-tending Algonquin for their community justice services program — and then it’s off to Carleton University for their social service worker program.

Nicholas Frosst is leading the way.A head boy at Bell High School, Frosst

said he has been working to make the student council at the high school more inclusive. Frosst was also a recent recipi-ent of a Cappie for leading male vocalist for his role in “Little Shop of Horrors.”

As a bursary recipient, Frosst said he plans on attending the University of To-ronto for computer sciences — preferably something in artifi cial intelligence.

Alana Ali, a student at Sir Robert Bor-den High School, doesn’t have big dreams; she just wants to see the world.

A champion of the environment, Ali is president of her school’s Enviro Club. She also received a letter for her partici-pation in sports and had an above 80 per cent average.

She is heavily involved in the cadets and volunteers with Veteran Affairs through poppy sales. She plans to attend the University of Ottawa to take interna-tional economic development and then pursue a career in the Canadian Forces.

The funds for the bursary program come from Rotary activities like bingo and other fundraisers.

Winners are selected annually from the four different secondary schools.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. A record

number of participants came together last weekend at the Nepean Sportsplex for a common cause: to raise money for cancer research.

This year, the event raised $566,493, the highest in the Ot-tawa region.

In an always-emotional gathering of survivors and their families, candles lit the way for thousands who wiped away tears as they remembered those in their lives who have fought and lost their battles with cancer. Many who are currently fi ghting, or have been one of the lucky ones and have lived to tell their stories also united for this com-mon goal — ending cancer.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, which is the larg-

est national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada, contributed $49.5 million to fund hundreds of research projects in the country across a broad range of disciplines and types of cancer.

Canadian Cancer Society-funded research has led to major advances in knowledge about this disease. This knowledge has led to improved treatments for cancer with fewer side effects, to more sophisticated methods of detecting cancer earlier and to in-formation about how to prevent cancer.

The foundation is now in place for the current generation of researchers to do more for cancer research than any other genera-tion before it.

The next 10 to 20 years of can-cer research hold great promise.

This organization is a national, community-based group of

volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the en-hancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

The society is key in many roles including research, ad-vocacy, promotion of healthy lifestyles and strategies and pro-vinding information about care and treatment while supporting families of those striken with the disease.

The society has 170,000 volun-teers across Canada. It is thanks to these generous people, who work in partnership with ap-proximately 1,200 dedicated staff, that the Canadian Cancer Society enjoys such a strong presence throughout the country.

Participants in events like the Relay for Life are a big part of this success story. It’s because of you and the fundraising you do, that huge steps are being taken in this world-wide fi ght.

OPINION

Little steps prevail in this big fi ght

Election season and construc-tion season merge once again with the announcement that the province will spend a ton

of money to make things easier on the Queensway.

Who knows? It might work. Mostly it hasn’t. The creation of more lanes leads to the creation of more cars and a quick return to the congestion that began it all. It can only be a pipe dream in this age when people are driven by cars, but wouldn’t it be nice if that kind of money — $200 million this time — could be spent on light rail and buses.

These thoughts are occasioned by a week in Toronto, a vastly different city but with some conditions that should be familiar to us. Spending some time there, mostly on foot, gives you a useful perspective on getting around in the city.

First, any city is better if you don’t have to drive in it. Toronto’s network of subways, buses and streetcars takes the strain out of getting around the city. If you can walk a few blocks, pub-lic transit will get you at least close to where you want to go. You save the big parking fees and the mental anguish that go with driving a car in that city.

We don’t have public transit like that. Ours is not bad for getting from a sub-urb into downtown. But you wouldn’t want to spend a day trying to hit all the Ottawa high spots — the National Gal-lery, Carleton, U of O, Rockcliffe, the Newport and the Prescott — by bus.

Mind you, not all of Toronto is that well served either. If you live within reach of the subway, you’re fi ne, but many don’t. It has been observed, rather ominously, that the people most likely to vote for Rob Ford, the ultra-conservative winner in Toronto’s 2010 mayoralty race, were those who lived in areas with the worst public transit.

In Ottawa, an ultra-conservative could pick up quite a few votes, using that criterion. But transit isn’t taken that seriously here, especially political-ly. If transit was uppermost in people’s

minds, a city politician who failed on transit issues would be out of work quickly.

Transit matters less here, and the reason for that is that it is still possible to drive. Sure, you can run into a little congestion, a fi ve-minute delay here, a 10-minute delay there, but most down-town traffi c problems could be solved easily by opening up a big trap door under the tour buses on Wellington Street. Meanwhile, people still think it is easier to drive.

In Toronto, some people think that. You can see them, not moving on the Gardiner, not moving on the Don Val-ley Parkway, trying to circle the block for the fi fth time to fi nd a parking space, stuck in the left-turn lane on King or Queen.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, de-pending on how you look at it, some of that grief is headed our way. Notice how many of the downtown parking lots you used to frequent aren’t there any more? It happens here too: more condos, more people, fewer parking lots. The bad thing is that it is harder to drive a car; the good thing is that fewer people will try.

All of which poses a challenge to the public transit people. If you don’t want

people to drive in Ottawa, what alterna-tives are you going to give them?

Oh, right: a tunnel under downtown. Do you we (a) really think that’s going to happen? or (b) really think that’s go-ing to solve everything?

Good public transit, which most of Toronto has, is not only about get-ting to work and back. It is also about getting to the store and back, getting to the hockey game and back, getting from the museum to the shopping cen-tre and over to the supermarket before heading home.

It would be worth a lot more than $200 million to have that here.

To the Editor,Your June 7 article “Pallia-

tive care needs to be part of the transformation of healthcare” did a great job outlining the Champlain Local Health Inte-gration Network’s (LHIN) view that expanding palliative care services is a key priority for strengthening our health care system.

However, your coverage may have left readers with the im-pression that Ottawa’s acute-care hospitals - The Ottawa Hospital, Queensway-Carleton and Montfort - are falling short on their mandates. Indeed the opposite is true, as I pointed out to the Friends of Hospice. Our acute care hospitals are getting ever better at what they were originally designed to do - in-tervene with high-quality care to help people who are acutely ill or have been injured. Proce-dures that once required week-long hospital stays have be-come day surgeries, and some hospitalizations are avoided altogether through medication. People in our region appreciate the service they receive in these hospitals; 91 per cent rate their care as good or better.

What these hospitals were

not designed to do is to provide ongoing care and support for people who are dealing with an ongoing chronic disease or are simply aging. The objec-tive of the LHIN is to work with local providers to develop local solutions to our health care challenges. For an aging population, that means more services to help seniors stay as healthy and independent and in their own homes as long as possible. That’s why the LHIN has made major investments in expanding home care services, developing new assisted living spaces, opening new long-term care beds, improving chronic-disease management programs and expanding other commu-nity-based services.

A similar issue exists at end of life. The vast majority of people don’t want to die in hos-pital - and don’t need to. In fact, Champlain LHIN Board of Di-rectors, now headed by Dr. Wil-bert Keon, has approved a palli-ative care strategy that includes expanding the reach of services like those provided by Friends of Hospice.

I remain very optimistic about the future of our health care system. It is adapting to

the changing needs of the popu-lation and is always looking at ways to improve its own effec-tiveness.

A good example is technol-ogy. As Dale Potter, Chief Infor-mation Offi cer of The Ottawa Hospital has said, health care lags up to 10 years behind other sectors in its administrative use of technology. The LHIN is working closely with all of our local providers to make prog-ress in this area so that we can see the effi ciency and produc-

tivity gains in health care that we have seen in other sectors of society and in our own personal lives.

Residents of Champlain re-gion should be reassured to know that we are lucky to have committed, passionate and skilled people working in all do-mains of health care.

Alex MunterChief Executive Offi cer

Champlain Local Health Integration Network

CEO explains LHIN’s view

To the Editor,The fi nal hefty tax bill has

been received with a demand for payment, but in it are many things that we the taxpayers have not asked for and do not want. One thing we do not want is the city snow plow (driver) blocking our driveways with snow every winter. I havwwe complained about that for years to no avail and for the last two years have tried to get my coun-cillor to have them stop the troublesome practice – but no action.

So I am deducting my cost of removing that snow from the end of the driveway and sub-mitting the reduced bill to the city and I encourage all others, affected by this malady, to do the same. Maybe that way we will fi nally get some intelligent action! (I should really add a factor for stress and the risk of not being able to get out of my property with my vehicle or the ambulance or fi re truck getting in, in an emergency).

Easier transition home

STAFF

Giving seniors a sense of in-dependence for a longer period of time is what Champlain Lo-cal Health Integration Network is striving for with a recent pro-gram announcement.

The Champlain LHIN is invest-ing in a new Transition to Home program at the Queensway Car-leton Hospital that is transform-ing health care for seniors after undergoing medical treatment.

The program is housed in a special 24-bed unit at the hospi-tal and provides restorative care to improve the day-to-day func-tioning of frail seniors who have completed treatment but are not yet ready to go home.

Because seniors often lose strength and mobility while hos-pitalized, restorative care is key to recovery and can often pre-vent premature admissions to long-term care homes.

The Champlain LHIN pro-vided $2.75 million to the Queen-sway Carleton Hospital to fund the program.

light the benefi ts of being active at any age,” Aggelonitis said during a stop at Crystal View Lodge in Nepean on June 6.

While taking questions from seniors, Ag-gelonitis highlighted the province’s new silver advisory program — designed to protect people with Alzheimers disease.

“At least 60 per cent of Alzheimers patients wander at least once during the course of the disease,” she said.

The program would work as a partnership between the Alzheimers Society, police and broadcasters.

“Residents may walk out, but they could get in someone’s car or on a bus, so we need to act quickly,” Aggelonitis said, adding that her own grandmother wandered off 11 years ago.

The other topic Aggelonitis highlighted was work the province has done on regulations for retirement homes.

The program is the fi rst of its kind in the province — which has 700 retirement homes and houses approximately 4,000 residents.

The legislation is being done in phases and started with a public comment period that will end Aug. 8.

The aims of the legislation are to provide safety and care standards and make sure that residents’ rights are protected.

“In most cases there are no problems, but we want to make sure there is a level playing fi eld,” Aggelonitis said.

One of the fi rst things to be implemented is the Complaint Response Information (C.R.I.S) Line at: 1-800-361-7254 that residents who sus-pect they are being abused can call.

Aggelonitis said the tour of retirement homes will highlight this and other services available for residents.

“It’s easy to be in Queen’s Park, but we need to be out here and talk with seniors to see what their issues are,” she said.

Aggelonitis said that statistics show by 2017 there will be more people over the age of 65 in the province than those under 15.

Ontario is currently home to 1.8 million seniors. Over the next 25 years that number will more than double.

Chiarelli said he welcomed the chance to do outreach in his rid-ing — the second oldest in the na-tion — just behind Victoria.

“By coming out to visit the resi-dents we can gauge the impact of the work we are doing,” he said.

Chiarelli said residents asked a variety of questions during his tour of Crystal View Lodge, but there was some concern about the availability of long-term care.

Chiarelli said there is work to be done to provide more support to services that will enable resi-dents to age at home.

“Approximately 17 per cent of seniors living in long-term care don’t need to be there,” he said. “If we could fi nd ways to keep them at home that would take care of almost all of the backlog.”

Aggelonitis said that residents can go to www.ontario.ca/senior-smonth and see what events are planned across the province.

More than the students are go-ing to be growing at St. Rita and St. Gregory Catholic schools next year.

The two Nepean schools plan to take advantage of the city’s com-munity tree planting program.

St. Rita has already received a $4,000 cheque from Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli for the planting of eight trees around the school yard.

“More trees will create a nicer atmosphere for the school and shade,” said Wendy Burpee, a parent volunteer at St. Rita’s who helped with the paper. “More trees are also good for the envi-ronment.”

The school made the applica-tion with the help of volunteers and the school’s “Enviro Club.”

The club includes Grade 5 students — Marianna Talarico, Isabella Genio, Althea Martin, Victoria Pietrantonio and Davis Macadam.

“My grandpa really likes gar-dening and I help him plant fl ow-ers in the backyard so I thought the Enviro Club would be fun,” Isabella said.

Althea said she feels the same way and often helps her mother plant fl owers and vegetables.

Nepean schools reap ‘tree’ reward

The students have been part of the club for six months.

Two St. Gregory teachers submitted the proposal to the city at the end of May.

Applications must be made to the city before June each year. School yard and city parks greening projects are eligible for up to $10,000 in either funds or trees.

Greening on non-city-owned property projects could be eligible for up to $5,000 in funds only.

For schoolyard proj-ects, the funding maxi-mum is $500 per tree.

According to the city’s website, when the proj-ects are awarded For-estry Services will take care of the supply and installation of the trees.

After they are plant-ed, the applicant makes sure the trees are watered and main-tained to ensure healthy growth.

“We are really excit-ed,” Tim Slack, princi-pal at St. Rita’s said.

THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL FOUNDATIONTen years ago, Carol Badenoch’s good friend underwent a full mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

“She didn’t change,” Badenoch said. “She was still the same wonderful person. She accepted that it was part of her life and moved on.”

When Badenoch herself was diagnosed with breast cancer a year later in 2002, she was shocked – the retired physical education teacher and nutritionist had always been healthy – but thanks to her friend’s outlook, she learned to approach her illness with courage and hope.

“I was totally stunned when they said I had cancer,” remembered Badenoch, now 62. “There was no indication that anything was wrong.”

Drawing from her friend’s courage, Badenoch said she learned a lot during her treatment, which included two surgeries and a course of radiation at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre.

“I learned that I am defi ned as far more than a breast,” said Badenoch, who had a lumpectomy. “You can curl up in a corner, or you can keep living. I chose to keep living.”

After her experience, Badenoch decided she wanted to give back.

So when the Nepean resident, who also teaches aerobics in Barrhaven, learned about Ride the Rideau – a 100 km Ottawa to Merrickville cycling fundraiser in support of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital – she was immediately interested.

An avid cyclist who currently puts in 40 km as many as three times a week, Badenoch crossed the fi nish line with two friends, and raised $2,500 last year. The event raised $940,000 in its inaugural year.

On Sept. 10, Badenoch is back with her team, Dharma Group. She hopes to raise another $2,000 for The Ottawa Hospital this year.

“I’m pretty big on giving back,” she said. “I’m fortunate to be in a position where I have time and I’m healthy. I want people to know that even after a cancer diagnosis, life does move forward.”

A fundraiser in support of Badenoch’s ride is being held from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21 at Greenfi eld’s Pub at 900 Greenbank Rd in Barrhaven. There will be prize draws and live entertainment.

To support Carol Badenoch’s ride, sign up, or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

If Ottawa really is the sleepy, boring city it’s accused of being, then the next generation is sure to save us with its cre-ative spirit.

Ottawa schools took home a whop-ping seven of 10 national entrepreneur-ial awards that were handed out by the Learning Partnership to recognize “the best of the best” in it’s annual Entrepre-neurial Adventures program.

The EA program invites classes from kindergarten to Grade 12 to create, facili-tate and nurture a business venture to raise money for a charity of their choice. Classes must partner with a business or entrepreneur in their community and then execute their business to meet their fundraising goals.

The 10 national awards are judged blindly by 50 Bank of Montreal asso-ciates in fi ve categories: enterprising spirit, teamwork, originality, impact on school or community, and judges’ choice. Each award is given to two schools across the country.

The fact that Ottawa won 70 per cent of the awards this year was a feat that spurred Learning Partnership program director Rod Thompson to skip Toronto’s ceremony to fl y to Ottawa and congratu-late the students himself.

“On an average year, these awards are

spread fairly evenly across the country. Ottawa, this is not an average year,” he told the crowd of excited students. “Con-gratulations Ottawa. This is the place where the entrepreneurial spirit and cre-ativity is alive and well.”

Participating students trekked to Place D’Orleans mall on June 2 to hear the

program’s national winners revealed. Of 15 ventures from 10 Ottawa schools, seven left with a plaque and $500 for the school.

A Grade 6 class at Steve McLean Pub-lic School in Riverside South won an im-pact award for their series of cake sales, fun fairs, cafes and fundraisers, which

raised more than $12,000 for the Make a Wish foundation and leaving their origi-nal $2,000 goal in the dust.

A Grade 4/5 class at Assumption Catholic School in East Ottawa won the second Impact award for its I-AM-SAFE bracelets of hope, which were sold in the school and community to raise aware-ness about bullying and the importance of feeling safe in one’s community. The class was also honoured for their work at the Quartier Vanier awards gala that same evening.

A Hilson Avenue Public School class won a teamwork award for its Souper Soups cookbook initiative, and students at Mother Teresa High School in Bar-rhaven won an originality award for their Speed Text 4 Charity Challenge in support of the Japan Earthquake Fund. Students at Rideau Valley Middle School in Kars also won an enterprising spirit award for their “Zigadoo” homemade backpacks.

Ottawa schools also won both Judges’ Choice awards, which are given to proj-ects that were superior in every way. Castlefrank Public School’s Grade 7/8 class in Kanata won for its Beauty Is campaign and fashion show in support of the Hopewell Eating Disorders Centre. Nepean’s Pope John 23rd Catholic School won its award for the Living Healthy, Liv-ing Smart Dance Event the Grade 5 class organized for Roger’s House.

Ottawa students take entrepreneurial awards by storm

city’s current infrastructure such as water and sewer services, without having to build expen-sive new infrastructure on the city’s suburban fringes.

In January, city lawyer Tim Marc pegged Ot-tawa’s chances of winning at the OMB around 70 per cent.

At that time, Mayor Jim Watson said he thought the OMB battle was worthwhile because it would confirm that elected officials make the final decisions on growth and planning, but in-stead the OMB’s decision reinforces that the city’s planning staff and the board itself have the final say.

Council will now have to reconsider which lands will be absorbed into the urban boundary and will eventually have to vote on a new official amendment that aligns the boundary expansion with what was decided by the OMB.

City loses battle to rein in urban sprawlLAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

An Ontario Municipal Board decision to expand the urban boundary could mean develop-ers ease off high-density devel-opment in Ottawa’s urban core.

The city fought a losing battle at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to defend its decision to limit the expansion of the city’s urban boundary to 230 hectares over the next 15 years. Instead, the boundary will increase by 850 hectares over the next 20 years – a figure that city staff had originally recommended and city council rejected in June of 2009.

The 15-year timeframe was aimed at promoting intensified development in the city’s ur-ban core, and council said the boundary could be expanded af-ter that as needed.

Essentially, city council’s decision recognized that more sprawl would be necessary even-tually – but that decision could be put off in the short term as the city focuses on building up the lands already available for development.

The urban boundary restricts where development can occur and where city services, such as water and sewer, are offered.

A group of approximately 20 devel-opers promptly appealed that deci-sion to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

Some of those developers want to see the boundary expanded by be-tween 2,500 and 3,000 hectares – a far cry from the 230 the city approved, or even the 850 hectares the OMB decid-ed to support.

For the city’s urban centre, the boundary expansion could mean less development pressure if there is more demand for housing on the outskirts of the city.

The decision to limit the expansion of the urban boundary has bolstered many cases for large increases in height allowance for new residential buildings downtown, said Charles Akben-Marchand, president of the Centretown Citizens’ Community As-sociation.

“(City councillors) have been fed the line from developers that down-town communities will have to suck it up because we also oppose sprawl and the extension of the urban boundary,” Akben-Marchand wrote in an email.

Now that the city must expand the

boundary, it could ease the pressure of developers asking for large height or density increases in the core, but Akben-Marchand said he doubts de-velopers will back off.

The OMB’s written decision calls the city’s move “clever,” but added that it does not follow the province’s policy statement on how growth should be projected.

For one thing, the city’s other policies include that same 20-year timeline, the OMB decision states. The city also ran into some trouble when it included a 15-year timeline for residential growth, but a 2031 ho-rizon for employment growth, an in-consistency that was criticized by the OMB.

“The change in the planning hori-zon at the time of adoption … to avoid the numbers generated is not good planning and reflects negatively on the earlier public process,” the OMB decision states.

The board’s decision also means the city will have to change its approach to intensification targets within city limits, saying that targets can’t be used as a case to prevent expansion to the urban boundary.

The city’s policies promote inten-sification as a more sustainable type of development that makes use of the

The amount of untreated sewage and rainwa-ter that overfl ows into the Ottawa River has been cut by more than half since 2006.

The results come as the City of Ottawa contin-ues to roll out its $250 million Ottawa River Ac-tion Plan.

One component, the $30 million real-time con-trol system, made a big difference according to Mayor Jim Watson, who was speaking as part of a June 3 announcement.

That system was completed in December and Watson said sewage overfl ows are expected to go down even more in 2011 during the fi rst full year of operation of the control system.

Despite above average rainfall between April

Sewage overfl ows halved since ’06and November of last year, there were “signifi cant reductions” in the amount of sewage that overfl owed into the river, the mayor said.

The mayor said the action plan is the city’s response to residents who said the safety of the river is a top priority.

The investment is a good one, aid River Ward Coun. Maria McCrae, because it will create a better, safer community for future generations.

“Just like roads and buildings, our environment is an asset,” said McCrae, who is also the chair of the city’s environment committee. “Nothing hits closer to home than the river.”

In 2010, the total combined sewage overfl ow was 424,000 cubic metres. That’s compared to more than a mil-lion cubic metres of sewage mea-sured when the city fi rst began to collect the data in 2006.

The next step in the Ottawa River Action plan is construction of a $140 million system of huge underground tanks to hold the overfl ow so less of it is released into the river.

That project is supposed to get underway in the next two years, Mc-Crae said, but the city needs to secure funding from the federal and provin-cial governments before it moves forward – something the mayor has been working on.

Canada Day festivities focuses on local entertainmentJENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

The Canada Day Festival at Andrew Haydon Park promises to be fi ve days of fun,

Ken McDavitt, the public relations coordinator for the event, said.

The event, organized annually by the Italian Canadian Community Centre in partnership with surround-ing community associations, tends to focus on local talent and will kick off with a performance from the Nepean Concert Band playing at the Kiwanis Band Shell on June 30.

On the celebration of our nation’s birthday, the Ottawa Fire Department Band will be the fi rst to perform, fol-

lowed by Tammy Laverty singing O Canada and I Believe.

The former Miss Ottawa has per-formed at the festivities free of charge for several years.

“We are always glad to have her, she is amazing,” McDavitt said.
