Ten years later, the Robinson deal- ership would be the first automotive dealership to relocate to its current loca- tion on Woodlawn Road, in what has become known as the Guelph Automall. An award winning business, Robinson Pontiac was the proud recipient of the Triple Crown Award in 2005, a recogni- tion given to the top General Motors dealers for exceeding customer's expec- tations in Sales, Service, Parts, and Accessories. Plus, Howard Robinson received the Milestone Award for 41 years of dedicated service as a General Motors dealer. Through the years the dealership has grown to include a staff of 48 employees. In 2007 the business was purchased by longtime employees, Cindy Robinson, Howard’s daughter–having worked at the dealership since 1985;Ted Kohli–team member since 1974 and Sales Manager since 1979; along with Sam Hirani, who has lead the wholesale division since 1996. In early 2009, Robinson Pontiac com- pleted $2 million worth of major reno- vations deemed necessary by GM– including an expanded showroom, wait- ing lounge and service bays plus a service drive-thru for customer's convenience. Shortly after the renovations were complete, the owners received a letter from GM, identifying them as one of the Canadian dealers whose Sales and Service agreement would not be renewed. GM Canada, at the request of the Federal and Ontario Governments, accelerated its restructuring and released a revised, more aggressive Operating Plan in April 2009, which included plans to reduce the number of GM dealer- ships in Canada by approximately 42%. A wind down agreement gave the deal- erships until December 2009 to close. “After 42 years of dedication to the GM brand, my reaction became one of wanting to protect what my father had built,” says Cindy Robinson. Robinson was not alone in her desire to standup to GM, and 21 dealerships across Canada joined together to bring a legal suit against the manufacturer to overturn their decision. “It was a very long and emotional time which took a lot of energy away from the day to day business,”adds Robinson. “We had such great support from our customers, employees and the commu- nity.” Customers not only continued to purchase cars, and service vehicles, many wrote letters in support of the business to GM. Local MP FrankValeriote, also the Chair of the Official Oppositions Auto Caucus, took a policitcal initiative to push GM to reverse the decision. However GM was attempting to split up the multi-party suit, to fight each dealership independently. In March 2010 the dealers’ legal counsel, lead by Jonathan Lisus, won a motion to keep the group together. After fifteen months, the dealerships were successful in resolving their lawsuit against General Motors. A decision was received in August of 2010 with 11 deal- erships retaining their businesses and the remainder agreeing to settlements. Guelph’s Robinson Pontiac will become Robinson Buick GMC and remains a GM dealership, continuing to sell and service GM products just as they have for the past 45 years. Unfortunately 240 dealerships across Canada did close during GM’s restruc- turing, including Saturn, Saab and other GM providers. Despite one of the most challenging years for GM and the entire automotive industry, GM Canada reported in January 2010 that it retained its status as Canada’s automotive sales leader delivering 254,257 vehicles for the calendar year. On November 30, GM Canada announced the addition of another shift at the Oshawa plant, for the Buick Regal and the Camero Convertible line, recall- ing 700 workers. The second major rehiring in a month, the two new shifts will see 1300 people hired–most who were previously laid off, plus 300 new workers. It is the first time since 2002 that GM has hired new peo- ple to the assembly plant. While it shows the automotive industry is recovering, the 4400 workers today,up from 3100 in September of 2010, still doesn’t compare to the 8900 workers that were employeed in Oshawa in 2008, and the 23,000 work- ers in the mid 1980’s. “Car sales in general are gaining momentum, both in Canada and the U.S. The availability of leasing is coming back slowly, although for now it is only available on Buick and Cadillac prod- ucts,” comments Robinson.“Personally, we find car sales are continuing to grow. Although Pontiac was a big brand for us, we have had to switch our focus to new GMC and Buick products, with a larger used car department. The vehicles how- ever are changing–Buick is coming out with some great new products. What was once considered a more conservative line of Buick cars are now appealing to a wider and younger crowd.” “We appreciate that the communitiy was behind us with their loyalty and support,” adds Robinson.“We stood up for what we believed in.

Operating as a family run business inGuelph for 45 years, Robinson Pontiac,originally located downtown, was pur-chased by Howard Robinson in August1965.

Guelph Sustainability Discussions:Sustaining is a new measure that is being used more and more given therapid pace of change and the appearance and disappearance of fads andtrends. Sustaining positive economic development, sustainable use of theenvironment and social sustainability form the “triple bottom line” thathas been referred to for a number of years. “Corporate SocialResponsibility” is a variation on the theme. The idea is that in a commu-nity, these three areas are connected and necessary to maintain vibrancy.The fourth pillar, cultural sustainability, is related to social sustainability.Why does a Chamber of Commerce get involved in triple and quadruple bottom line conver-

sations? Chambers at their core promote healthy communities. Healthy communities are goodfor business, and business is good for healthy communities. This year, thanks to the support oftheTrillium Foundation of Ontario, the Guelph Chamber has presented a three part series onSustainability. This past January, at the Frank Hasenfratz Centre for Excellence in Manufacturingthe Guelph Chamber presented theTechnology Economy Conference. In June the Chamberheld an environmental conference atThe Centre, showing how business is employing conserva-tion of power and water and reduction of waste. Guelph has a rich network of social supportagencies,many of which were partners in presenting the Social Sustainability Forum onNovember 25th at the Delta Guelph Hotel and Conference Centre.We often think of the environment or the economy when we hear the word 'Sustainability',

but for a community to function and be sustainable, the basic needs of its residents must be met.A sustainable community must have the ability to maintain and build on its own resources andhave the resiliency to prevent and/or address problems in the future:whether environmental,economic, or social.The second annualTechnology Economy event is being planned for January 18, 2011 again

focused on business in the knowledge economy. The past two years have seen significant changein Ontario’s manufacturing businesses, with technology playing an ever increasing role. Guelph isfortunate to have a vibrant industrial sector,which is complimented by a vibrant technology sec-tor. A growing environmental cluster joins our long standing agribusiness group. The GuelphTechnology Economy Conference will launch another year of discussions for continuing to build astronger community here in Guelph, now and for the future.

Pay year-end expenses. Many can onlybe claimed as tax deductions if theamounts are paid by the end of thecalendar year. These include alimonypayments, medical expenses and chari-table contributions.On the second day, take time out to sellsecurities with accrued losses to shelterrealized gains from tax. Remember,you can carry back 2010 net allowablecapital losses to recover tax paid on nettaxable capital gain reported in 2007,2008 and 2009. The last day to executea trade on a Canadian exchange thatwould settle in 2010 is Friday,December 24. You should also knownot to purchase or repurchase the los-ers within 30 days before or after thesale. You may consider buying similarbut not identical securities.

On the third day, if you turned 71before December 31, you can still con-tribute to your Registered RetirementSaving Plan (RRSP). For those whoare 71 at the end of the year, the finalRRSP contribution must be made, anda maturity option selected, byDecember 31. On the fourth day, save for your child’sor grandchild’s education by con-tributing to the registered EducationSaving Plan (RESP). The federal gov-ernment will provide a direct grant tothe RESP of 20% of the first $2,500.On the fifth day, you could contributeto a Registered Disability Savings Plan(RDSP), which is intended to help par-ents and others save for the long-termfinancial security of a person who iseligible for the disability tax Credit

(disability amount).On the sixth day, be generous anddonate public company securitiesincluding segregated funds. There willgenerally be no income inclusion inrespect of the accrued gain and the fullvalue of the gifted securities will be eli-gible for a donation credit.On the seventh day, ensure that youhave opened up your Tax Free SavingAccount (TFSA) and one for eachmember in your family over the age of18. Similar to RRSP’s, income and cap-ital gains earned in the TFSA are freeof tax. But unlike RRSP’s, that incomeis not taxed on withdrawls at any timeand use them for any purpose withoutattracting any tax. And what’s more,any funds you withdraw from theTFSA- both the income and capital

portions- are added to your contribu-tion room in the next year.On the eighth day, take a breath. Deferpurchases of long-term fixed invest-ments until January 2011, and therelated tax will be deferred one year.On the ninth day, corporate businessowners should make decisions abouttheir final remuneration from thecompany.On the tenth day, buy business assets.Self-employed individuals and unin-corporated business owners whowould otherwise make these capitalpurchases in the near future shouldconsider shopping early to claimdepreciation for 2010 (although it’sonly half of the regular deprecationamount).

On the eleventh day, update those travellogs. Employees who use employer-provided cars primarily for businessmay be eligible for a reduced standbycharge and a lower alternative operat-ing benefit. If so, advise employers inwriting before year end in order tohave the alternative operating benefitapply. Last but not least, on the twelfth day,reflect on your retirement savingsplans. Have you contributed to aspousal or your own RRSP for 2010? If not, do so now to take advantage ofcompound growth.

Preplanning

Pre-arranging one's own funeral is now widely practiced across Canada. Gilbert MacIntyre & Son havebeen helping individuals and families with funeral prearrangements for almost 80 years. If you would liketo make an appointment to discuss prearrangements,please contact us. Or, if you like, you can prearrangeyour funeral online. You will be asked the same basicquestions you would in a one-on-one prearrangementmeeting; but within the "comfort" of your own lifestyle.Our experience in dealing with prearranging funeralshas lead to the development of the GILBERT MACINTYRE & SON TRUST PLAN for those who wish topre-pay their funeral expenses.

The GILBERT MACINTYRE & SON TRUST PLAN retainsall the advantages of the pre-arranged funeral, but goesfurther with respect to the financial advantages.

· The GILBERT MACINTYRE & SON TRUST PLAN ishedge against inflation. The cost of the funeral willnever increase, no matter how long it is before thefuneral services are required.

· Pre-payment reduces the financial demands on thesurvivors. Costs will be paid out of income now,rather than from much needed funds of the estate.

• ST. JOSEPH’S HEALTH CENTRE FOUNDATION, GUELPH •

Serving our community since 1861

On November 19, 2010, Ontario’s Minister ofHealth and Long-Term Care, The Honourable DebMatthews, visited St. Joseph’s Health Centre to offi-cially open 96 new long-term care beds

Drawing attention to the growing need for helpfor seniors in the coming decades, Ms. Matthewscommented on the responsibility everyone sharesfor ensuring that their needs are met.

“These are the people who sacrificed to give ourgeneration the best education they could so wecould prosper,” she said. “They helped create asociety that ranks among the best in the world.Providing care for them now when they need it isthe least we can do. A project like this one at St.Joseph’s is one way of saying to our seniors that‘we’ll be here for you.’”

According to figures from the WaterlooWellington Local Health Integration Network thenumber of people in Waterloo Wellington aged 65

years and older is expected to be about 112,060,an increase of close to 30,000, by 2015.

Seniors are the fastest growing segment inCanada. And the fastest growth in the seniorpopulation is occurring among the oldestCanadians. We have to prepare now for what’scoming tomorrow.

The opening of the 96 new beds marks the endof a long process that took the idea of the newwing to its final completion. The new beds will be awelcome addition for the many elderly men andwomen who have been waiting for local long-termcare accommodation. Waiting lists have been longand seniors and their worried families have beenfaced with the difficult choice of accepting beds incommunities distant from their friends and familiesor putting off admission. The new beds will helpour region’s entire network of health care operatemore efficiently.

“This will not only improve people’s quality oflife but will also reduce the number of patients inacute care beds waiting for long-term care and theadmission wait-times for patients in EmergencyDepartments,” says Marianne Walker, President ofSt. Joseph’s Health Centre. “Our talented anddedicated staff has worked very hard to reach thisday and I am proud to say that this project hasbeen delivered on time and on budget.”

“Today is both the culmination of a four-yearprocess that started as a wonderful dream,and a new beginning for the men and women whoneed care and will be welcomed to theirhome at St. Joseph’s,” she adds. “It’s another stepin the collaborative relationship with our commu-nity partners to provide access to care when it isneeded. We are confident that, in partnership withthe Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care,the City of Guelph, Wellington County, the Waterloo

St. Joseph’s embarks on new ventureAffordable housing for seniors will help fill growing need

The good news is that seniorsare living longer. Life expectancydata shows steady gains eachdecade since the turn of the lastcentury. But living on a fixedincome over an extended peri-od of time can create financialstrains as the cost of utilitiesand other monthly expendituresincrease. Furthermore, deterio-rating health or decreasedmobility as a consequence ofdisease or a traumatic episodelike stroke can make accommo-dation in a standard apartmentgeared to a general marketunsuitable. And in a universitytown like Guelph, the competi-tion at the lower end of therental market can be intense.

Of the 1,300 people on thewaiting list for public housing inGuelph and Wellington, close toone third are aged 55 years or

older and face waits of betweentwo and nine years. So it’s notsurprising that modest or lowincome seniors have been iden-tified as a vulnerable segmentrequiring assistance to get theappropriate, affordable housingthey need on a more timelybasis.

That’s the aim of a new80-unit affordable housing thatSt. Joseph’s has undertakenwith financial help from both thefederal and provincial govern-ments, and in conjunction withthe County of Wellington.Through the Canada-OntarioAffordable Housing Program,St. Joseph’s will receive $9.6million dollars–$4.8 million eachfrom the federal and provincialcoffers. The remainder of the$13.1 million project will comefrom a discounted mortgage

through Canadian Mortgageand Housing Corporation thatSt. Joseph’s Housing hasagreed to take on.

Representatives from fourlevels of government were onhand at St. Joseph’s HealthCentre on November 22, 2010to symbolically turn the sod onthe housing project thatWellington-Halton Hills MPMichael Chong said would help“create jobs and improve thequality of life for those whoneed it most.”

“Quality, affordable hosing isessential to the health and well-being of our seniors,” saysGuelph MPP Liz Sandals.“Today’s investment of $4.8 mil-lion by the Ontario governmentwill stimulate the economy by

More seniors. More seniors living longer.

Long-term care beds fill growing need – Continued from page 1

Wellington Local Health Integration Network and St.Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation, people whoneed care in their latter years will find it here withus in a warm, home-like setting.”

The beds are housed in a 60,791 square foot,four-story addition to St. Joseph’s main building.The new beds are divided into six units–two perfloor–which St. Joseph’s refers to as neighbour-hoods in keeping with its community-orientedphilosophy. Each floor has its own dining area,activity room, kitchenette, balcony, andlounges complete with a cozy fireplaces. Thekitchenettes and activity rooms are available foractivities like baking, and will make it possiblefor residents or their families to preparesnacks on their own schedules. There is also a

kitchen table and chairs for family membersand residents to sit and share a cup of tea–justlike at home. Domestic washers and dryers areavailable to give residents the opportunity to con-tinue on with their normal household routinesand daily tasks if they choose to, although St.Joseph’s provides a full laundry service to every-one.

Each neighbourhood has a centrally locatedspa with tub and shower rooms, as well as atowel warmer to prevent chills while specializedwhirlpool tubs will help protect residents’skin integrity–important in the prevention ofbed sores.

Dining rooms are open in design with tablesettings that encourage conversation among

residents at dinnertime, while the aroma of thefood being heated in the adjacent open kitchenwill help stimulate their appetite–a benefit that’simportant to people in frail health.

St. Joseph’s aims to care for the whole person inall of his or her physical, mental and spiritualcomplexity. And indeed, when you enter St. Joseph’syou’ll find art on the wall, sunny open spaces,comfortable arm chairs and a general homey feel-ing to the rooms and common areas. There’salso a full range of recreational activities, tailoredto the preferences and capability of each resident,delivered by qualified recreation therapists,including full-time music and horticulturaltherapists.

A big part of life at St. Joseph’s revolves aroundits gardens, and residents of the new wing naturallyhave access to them. In this fresh outdoor settingthey can tend to their plants in raised plantersfrom their wheelchairs, either as participants inSt. Joseph’s horticultural therapy program or ontheir own. Or they can enjoy an outdoor BBQ,picnic or conversation with their families andfriends.

“Families will not only benefit from the additionalcapacity that is now available, but also the highquality care St. Joseph’s provides for manyyears to come,” says Minister Deb Matthews.

A unique feature of the long-term care expansionis the addition of three new bariatric rooms,set aside for people who are very obese, technicallyat least 100 pounds above their ideal bodyweight but generally weighing in excess of 300pounds. The bariatric rooms are larger, have widerdoorways, and are equipped with commodes,beds, lifts and other equipment designed to handlethe extra weight in a way that’s safe for the residentand will protect St. Joseph’s caregivers from on-the-job injuries.

“Residents who are very heavy have a hard timefinding a place that’s safe and livable for them,”says Bill James-Abra. Manager, Social Work,Recreation Therapy and Spiritual and ReligiousCare. “You need specially designed rooms andequipment to give them a good quality of life,the freedom of movement they need, and ameasure of independence. At St. Joseph’s wegive a lot of thought to people in our communitywho are challenging to care for, and who not every-one can take in.”

A home-like setting“The 96 new beds at St. Joseph’s Health Centre willmean that local residents will have access to highquality long-term care closer to their families,”says Liz Sandals, MPP, Guelph. “These beds willbenefit both residents who can no longer managein their own homes and patients who need to moveout of hospital into a home-like environment.”

“The new rooms will help us give bariatric resi-dents some much-needed care–care that theymight not otherwise get,” he says. “St. Joseph’s hasa long, proud tradition of serving where we’reespecially needed and we take that commitmentvery much to heart.”

St. Joseph’s long-term care expansion is part ofthe Ontario government’s Emergency DepartmentAction Plan which is investing in communitiesexperiencing long-term care and community carepressures. Emergency department wait times areaffected by the availability of hospital beds–someof which are occupied by individuals awaitingplacement in a long-term care home.

When the addition welcomes all of its newfamily, St. Joseph’s will be home to 240 long-termcare residents. It will also continue in its role asGuelph’s only specialty rehabilitation and continu-ing complex care hospital for another 92 patientsas well as offering groundbreaking adult dayprograms, medical clinics and services like osteo-porosis diagnosis and treatment, physiotherapy,occupational therapy, and speech-languagepathology therapy for young children.

Although the doors are open on St.Joseph’s new wing, St. Joseph’sHealth Centre Foundation is stillworking to raise the dollars to payfor it. The Next Generation CapitalCampaign will raise $6 million fromlocal donations, of which $2.2 mil-lion will go towards the long-termcare expansion. The remaining dol-lars will be used to support a newcentre for St. Joseph’s leading-edgeAdult Day Programs, which includesGuelph’s only day program for sur-vivors of acquired brain injury, tobuild a new auditorium and to cre-ate a one-of-a-kind garden that willbe a therapeutic tool for St.Joseph’s rehabilitation hospital.

“As Guelph’s first hospital,St. Joseph’s has a long history of

service in Guelph,” says MaryDuQuesnay, Executive Director ofSt. Joseph’s Health CentreFoundation. “And, city and Countyresidents have a long history of sup-porting our work. It’s been a won-derful partnership over the last cen-tury and a half and I’m very confi-dent that we will reach our goal.”

While government provides thebulk of the funds necessary to buildtop-notch facilities, health care inour community also depends on theefforts and generosity of many gen-erations of people. Indeed, had St.Joseph’s Health Centre Foundationnot stepped forward to guarantee ashare of the costs, St. Joseph’s newwing would not have been possible.

Cognizance of the ties of care,

love and responsibility that bind onegeneration to another prompted St.Joseph’s Health Centre Foundationto name its public campaign theNext Generation Capital Campaign,according to Barbara Macrae,the Foundation’s Director ofDevelopment, Marketing andCommunications.

“We wanted a name that wouldconvey St. Joseph’s long history ofcare and service in Guelph andWellington County as well as some-thing that captured the notion ofthe continuum of care that occursbetween generations as each onebuilds on the achievements of itspredecessor to provide for the pub-lic good,” she explains.

The Next Generation Campaign on track to raise $6 million

“Families will not only benefitfrom the additional capacitythat is now available, but alsothe high quality careSt. Joseph’s provides formany years to come.”

Local foundation supports innovative approach to rehabilitationNew garden first of its kind in North AmericaThanks to a generous gift from local philanthropistsLarry and Shawn Pearson, who head up the LJ PearsonFoundation, St. Joseph’s Health Centre has started workon a new garden–the first of its kind in North America.The Pearson Motion Garden will speed the recovery ofrehabilitation patients and help them make a bettertransition from hospital to home.

"Our Foundation is very grateful to be able to be apart of this ground-breaking idea of a motion garden tohelp accelerate the recovery of patients in our commu-nity,” says Larry Pearson. “Both Shawn and I are veryimpressed with the wonderful things that the staff atSt Joseph's are accomplishing and we very much lookforward to watching the development of theMotion Garden."

The LJ Pearson Foundation $330,000 gift will make itpossible to start construction of the garden in the spring.

“We’re thrilled that Larry and Shawn stepped forwardto help us get this project underway,” says MarianneWalker, President, St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph.“This is a special initiative because the staff have taken itfrom an idea to a project that is breaking new ground inthe area of outdoor rehabilitation–innovation that webelieve will have a significant positive impact on ourpatients and others world-wide. We are deeply gratefulfor the Pearsons’ generosity and excited to be workingtogether.”

To augment the traditional rehabilitation therapy thattakes place in the controlled environment foundindoors, the 14,4000 square foot Pearson MotionGarden will take therapy out of the gym and put it in asetting that more closely resembles the conditions thatpatients will face in the real world life they’ll find whenthey return home.

“Rehabilitation patients are returning to their commu-nity,” says physiotherapist Alanna Harris. “They alsowant to return to the life they knew before their medicalcondition arose–or as close to it as they can get. This gar-den will be a great tool to help them achieve their goals.”

Patients come to the St. Joseph’s for rehabilitationafter surgery–the amputation of a limb, joint replace-ment, by-pass or other kinds of surgery. Some patientshave chronic respiratory problems or are recoveringfrom a stroke. Still others have suffered a traumaticinjury at work or on the road that has affected theirspinal cord or brain. Stays can last for anywherefrom a couple of weeks to two months. Close to 600patients are transferred to St. Joseph’s each year fromregional hospitals.

Rehabilitation patients go through a comprehensiveprogram that’s based on their individual needs and isdesigned to promote healing and speed recovery.Rehabilitation therapy can use weights, resistance train-ing, repetitive movement and other techniques to buildstrength, agility, and stability, to improve balance andincrease resilience.

Adds another dimensionThe garden will add another dimension to the mix by

giving people the opportunity to practice skills in anoutdoor setting giving patients a chance to practice theirskills in a variety of settings so they can regain theirconfidence before they leave the safety and security ofthe therapeutic environment.

Sometimes patients have difficulty translating whatthey do in the gym into real-life activities, says Harris.Or they find it difficult to find the motivation to do therepetitive exercises day after day. But activities in thegarden can accomplish the same physical results in aninteresting and motivating environment. Filling a birdfeeder, lifting flower pots, raking leaves or digging in agarden could all be good activities to improve strength,balance and resilience.

But the benefits won’t be limited to gardeners andgardening activities.

“Patients will also be able to practice walking onuneven surfaces like gravel and grass, negotiate rampsand stairs, get over curbs,” say Harris. “We find theseare the things that can act as barriers to people whenthey return home after rehab–barriers that can keepthem from accessing their community and doing thethings that give their life meaning and purpose.”

To ensure that the garden conforms to the individualpatient’s needs as much as possible, the designers haveenlisted the expertise from a diverse team includingoccupational, physical, recreational, horticultural andspeech therapies, nurses, and physicians, as well ashousekeeping, dietary, health and safety, maintenance,and research personnel.

Idea just grew and grewThe garden grew out of a need that physiotherapist

Harris and occupational therapy/physiotherapy assistantKim Vandermeer discovered through their work.Surrounded by flat surfaces in the new St. Joseph’sbuilding back in 2003, they were looking for a rampthat they could use in their patients’ therapy. They start-ed scouting locations around St. Joseph’s and eventuallyconsulted horticultural therapist Wanda Fabbian aboutthe possibility of incorporating a ramp and some stepsinto one of the Centre’s gardens.

“We put our heads together and the idea just grewand grew,” says Vandermeer.

Now that the garden can finally go ahead, St. Joseph’splans to build on its success by using the garden to con-duct and publish research studies that other facilities, athome and abroad, can use to advance the field ofrehabilitation medicine. They also hope to provideopportunities for other caregivers to visit the garden andsee for themselves what it can achieve.

“Gardens give people purpose and meaning,” saysWanda Fabbian, St. Joseph’s horticultural therapist.“They’re much more than a diversion. The activities wedo together in the garden are functional and immediate-ly satisfying.”

Fabbian frequently sees residents and patients experi-ence mood improvements–exhibiting fewer signs of agita-tion and symptoms of depression–after participation inher horticultural therapy program. And her observationsare backed up by controlled experiments and studies.

Research is accumulating that draws a strong relation-ship between exposure to nature and mood improve-ment, stress reduction, and greater feelings of satisfac-tion with care. It might even reduce recovery times and

assist in pain management. In one study patients whowere given a room with a nature view of trees appearedto have better post-operative recoveries than patientswhose rooms looked out on a wall.

“We’re so excited to have the funding to make thisproject a reality,” says Vandermeer. “It’s been a longprocess and it’s still a little hard to believe that we’reactually going to build this amazing, beyond-beliefthing.”

Mary Duquesnay, Executive Director, St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation accepts cheque

from Larry and Shawn Pearson. The generous gift will let construction on innovative new

garden go forward. Background: Kim Vandermeer, Alanna Harris and Wanda Fabbian workedtogether to grow the idea of the garden as a therapeutic tool in rehabilitation.

creating jobs and supporting local businesses,but, more importantly, will make a positive differ-ence in the lives of many senior citizens righthere in Guelph.”

The sizes of the one- and two-bedroom units,the qualifying maximum income for prospectivetenants, as well as the rent charged, which will

be set at 80% of market value, will all be estab-lished by government. A number of units will begeared to wheelchair-bound tenants. The pro-ject’s location at St. Joseph’s also bringstenants, all of whom will be over the age of 65,close to important resources and services likethe Centre’s leading-edge Day Programs thathelp seniors maintain their independencein the community.

“Many seniors living in Guelph need affordablehousing; and a link to our community serviceswill assist seniors to live in their home as long aspossible, says Matt Stanley, Chair, St. Joseph’sHousing. “This project is an integral part of ourlong-range plans to build a health care campuswith different levels of health care, housing andcommunity support programs.”

“Quality, affordable housingis essential to the health andwell-being of our seniors.”

Guelph MPP Liz Sandals.

St. Joseph's Health Centre Guelph unveiled the results ofimportant research December 1, 2010 at the Centre’sWestmount Road facility. The study was undertaken totest the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation in help-ing survivors of acquired brain injuries (ABIs) copewith the challenges they face.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is anintervention designed to help individuals be present towhat is happening in the moment. MBSR has been usedfor a number of conditions (e.g., breast cancer, psoria-sis, anxiety disorders) and with veterans of the conflictsin Afghanistan and Iraq to help them cope with theeffects of traumatic brain injuries and/or Post TraumaticStress Disorder. In peer-reviewed studies, the practicehas been shown to assist with pain management, toincrease self awareness, and to decrease symptoms ofanxiety and depression.

Survivors of acquired brain injuries (ABIs) oftenexperience difficulties with deliberation, organization,concentration, self-monitoring, and use of feedback.These deficits can severely limit their daily life andgreatly reduce their quality of life.

Learning effective coping strategies has the potentialto benefit ABI survivors. A few studies have shownMBSR holds significant promise for enhancing theirquality of life by increasing relaxation, focus, and prob-lem-solving and enhancing feelings of personal respon-sibility, control, and compassion.

St. Joseph’s conducted its research with 47 survivorsof mild to moderate brain injuries. Participants tookpart in a 10-week before and after assessment of amodified MBSR intervention. The effectiveness of MBSR

was evaluated by measuring memory, attention, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression both before andafter the intervention. Results from participants receiv-ing the intervention were compared against a controlgroup who completed the before and after assessmentsonly.

A number of benefitsThe study’s findings demonstrated that mindfulness

meditation presented a number of benefits for peoplewith acquired brain injuries. Most significantly, sur-vivors participating in mindfulness experienced a signif-icant increase in their ability to manage pain. They alsoexperienced a reduction in depressive symptoms andstress levels and had improved sense of well-being. Onefinding that was specific to women was improvementsin self-esteem.

The aim is to share the findings, through publicationof the results with other care providers and programdevelopers working with ABI survivors across NorthAmerica.

“We want to ensure that other caregivers and sur-vivors know about this work because of its potential tohelp,” says Audrey Devitt, St. Joseph’s Director,Community Outreach. “It’s a very cost-effective programto operate and holds the promise of improving sur-vivors’ quality of life.”

Acquired brain injury is more common than breastcancer, HIV, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cordinjury combined. Several hundred brain injuries occurin our region annually.

Do you need a Tetanus Shot?by Anna Bartolomucci

Tetanus is a medical condition, caused by bacte-ria called Clostridium tetani. This bacteria pro-duces a neurotoxin which affects function of thenerves and leads to prolonged contraction ofskeletal muscle fibres, or muscle spasm. Thespasms occur in the neck, abdomen and extrem-ities and can be either localized or generalized.The muscle spasms of the face and neck canmake it difficult to open the mouth and is one ofthe most common symptoms of tetanus and isalso why it is referred to as lockjaw.

Symptoms of generalized tetanus couldinclude irritability, sore muscles, cramps, weak-ness, difficulty chewing and swallowing, fever,irregular heartbeat, change in blood pressure,and difficulty breathing.

The bacteria that causes tetanus is a hardyorganism that can live in the form of a spore formany years. These spores can live in soil, manureor dust and can infect humans by entering a cutor puncture wound. Wounds with foreign bodies(ie. rusty nail) are most at risk for developingtetanus. Animal bites, burns, frostbite, crushinjuries abscesses, or non-sterile injection ofdrugs can also lead to tetanus.

The tetanus vaccine was developed in the1920’s and is currently used to routinely immu-

nize children. This vaccine isrequired by law for all chil-dren attending school inOntario (unless exempted).When the vaccine is given in the requireddosages, it provides 100% protection. Boostersare then required every 10 years and sometimessooner if you sustain a deep, contaminatedwound and it has been more than 5 years sinceyour last immunization.

Review your immunization status with yourdoctor and be sure you are up to date. Even withearly treatment like antibiotics and antitoxins,tetanus kills 20% of those who get the disease,so get the shot!

Be the change you want to seeby Lisa Reaume, JA Executive Director

How often has it been said that today’s youngpeople lack the basic business skills entering intothe workforce that are required? Such skills asfundamental budgeting, understanding balance,equity, and derivatives. Skills such as businesscase making, understanding marketplaces andmarket forces, or even being able to understandwhat a “cold call” involves.

When do these skills get taught – and fromwhom? It’s the very reason that an organizationsuch as Junior Achievement of Guelph-Wellington is working in partnership with oureducation system–and why our volunteer corecomes from the business environment withinour area. Our business leadership is mentoringtoday’s students to become tomorrow’s businessleaders–providing real life, hands-on experiencethat is required to make the change needed foran unknown tomorrow.

Skills taught at a very young age are transfer-

able, that has been shown time and again. Skillstaught for the business world are beyond thebasic reading, writing, and arithmetic–the so-called 3 R’s–and it is more important than ever,given the direction of our globalized economy.In essence, the very things that business strivesfor on a daily basis–finding the right peoplewith the right skill set to do the right role foryour company or organization–can be taught atan early age by the very individuals who areseeking these transformative skill sets: YOU.

That is the inherent value being providedthrough Junior Achievement, the remarkableability to make a lasting impression upon themost impressionable minds in the entire world,our children, our future–one where YOU are thechange YOU want to see.

Due diligence goes beyond safetyby Lynne Bard

We often forget about the health in health and safetyand focus on providing a safe work environment forour workers. Although the Occupational Health andSafety Act does not specifically state that an employermust protect its workers from contracting the flu orother such diseases, this duty is implied under the“general duty” clause contained in the Act. The “gen-eral duty” clause requires employers to provide a safeand healthy workplace and take measures to addressforeseeable hazards that aren’t specifically mentionedin the OHS laws.

During flu season, the risk of contracting andspreading this disease in the workplace is inevitableand therefore is covered under the general duty clauseto ensure that your workforce is adequately preparedfor the upcoming flu season.So how do you comply? Here are a few tips:1. Get organized: - Form a committee and spearhead the

planning efforts2. Assess the risks: Assess risk of workers contracting the flu

and the impact on the organization if a significant num-ber of workers get sick at once.

3. Protect workers health: Educate workers on personalhygiene and other measures for guarding against the riskof infection.

4. Make changes to your HR Policies: A workers rights torefuse unsafe work (fear of exposure) and disclosure ofmedical information if required are just a few things thatneed to be reviewed.

5. Develop a Business Continuity Plan: A business continu-ity plan in addition to providing steps to keep operationsgoing in the event of a natural disaster should cover fluoutbreaks and other such diseases that could cripple anorganization if workers are off for a long period of time.

6. Prepare for disruptions in services and supply: Suppliersand Service providers may not be able to meet demanddue to business interruption in their organization due toflu, natural disaster or other uncontrolled events.

7. Prepare for absences8. Establish a Communication Plan

You cannot afford to wait and see how bad the fluseason will be. Due diligence is taking the steps toprotect your workers health today.LLynne Bard, President and Senior Consultant, Beyond Rewards [email protected]
