Smiths Falls: Building new opportunities locally and internationally
Smiths Falls’ rebirth is taking place, creating incredible opportunitiesfor developers and the local construction industry.
The old economy, represented by the large Hershey’s plant and theRideau Regional Centre, is morphing into a new vision for the communityof about 8,000 on the Rideau River. Smaller, entrepreneurial businessesare filling the spaces left by the shuttered institutions and organizationsas the town develops new relationship and opportunities near (in Ottawa)and far (in China).
As local business leaders, with support from the municipal and othergovernment levels develop new commercial and residential opportunities,the town has captured infrastructure funds to complete a much-neededwater treatment plant as it enhances and expands the municipal arena andrecreational complex. Meanwhile, the Smiths Falls and Perth District Hos-pital expansion and modernization is continuing, ensuring a high qualityof life for residents in the community less than an hour’s drive from Ot-tawa.
Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples says, despite the recent large-scaleemployment losses, the community’s population has declined by only afew hundred people. (Census figures show the population was 9,140 in2001 and 8,777 in 2006.) However, even with the slight population de-cline, hundreds of new homes are being built and additional residentialsubdivisions are planned.

“What’s happening is that housing val-ues are great compared to other communi-ties in the area,” Staples said. “The qualityof life is impressive here. We have a safecommunity with good recreational, schooland health care opportunities.”
Most Smiths Falls residents affected byplant closures are staying in their homesand are either commuting to work in Ot-tawa or finding new opportunities in gov-ernment or entrepreneurial start-ups as newfamilies and retirees move into the area totake advantage of lower housing costs. De-mographic/family size changes explain thepopulation decline more than any economicissues. “In earlier years, it would not be un-common for some families here to have upto 10 children,” Staples said.
A new Via Rail station will enhance ac-cess to the community from Ottawa. WhileVia Rail isn’t in the commuter rail business,Staples and Bob Cheetham, Smiths Falls’
Manager of Economic Development, seethe possibilities of Smiths Falls increasingits role as a bedroom (or retirement) com-munity for people with ties to Ottawa, es-pecially as roads improve, new rail optionsare developed, and land prices in Ottawaskyrocket, in part because of municipal in-tensification and limitations on suburbandevelopment closer to the core.
Tracy Gallipeau-Nolan of Smiths Falls-based home builder J.A. Gallipeau Con-struction Ltd. says her family is opening anew 99-lot residential development. Sheexpects upwards of 50 per cent of thehomes (mostly bungalows at least 1,300 sq.ft. in size) will be sold to Ottawa residents,either retirees or working families lookingfor high-quality homes which are muchmore affordable than in the city. “SmithsFalls does not have a lot of fees attached to
the building process,” so prices can bemuch more competitive, she said.
This bedroom community environmentis coupling with development opportunitiescreated from the now-available industrialand institutional facilities.
Certainly, contractor and developerChris Saumure, vice-president and opera-tions manager at Guy Saumure & SonsConstruction, sees plenty of local opportu-nities.
Saumure, also president of the localChamber of Commerce, says: “Smiths Fallsis completely on the right track.
“We’re going to be a bedroom commu-nity of Ottawa and we’re going to build orredevelop the larger facilities so they can be

used by smaller organizations.“Smiths Falls is a very inexpensive
place to live – real estate is 35 or 40 per centless expensive here than in Ottawa for com-parable properties, which creates opportu-nities for projects like condominiums,telecommuting and more,” he said.
After purchasing the former RCA planta decade ago, Saumure’s business reno-vated the shell of the 70,000 sq. ft. factorybuilding into new space which now em-ploys far more than the former 350 RCAemployees. Saumure’s company also pur-chased the old 130,000 sq. ft high school in2005 for a dollar from the school district.“We converted it to luxury apartments anda 15,000 sq. ft. community health centre.”
More recently, Saumure also took on thechallenge of building the new Smiths FallsMemorial Community Centre – a projectwhich ended up at $12 million, certainly thelargest single construction project GuySaumure and Sons has completed.
The successful completion of the newarena and community centre complex re-flects the ups and downs, challenges, hopesand dreams of the Smiths Falls economy.
Municipal officials initially found them-selves way over budget when the numbers
came in at more than $14 million for thearena and community centre project. Theyonly had about $8 million available.
So they scaled the job down, reducingthe number of seats, redesigning and sim-plifying the building, to bring the budgetcloser to the then-available funds. Then thetown found additional money through fed-eral and provincial infrastructure programs,and the project grew again – almost to itsoriginal scope.
Saumure said his company in the pasthas generally avoided projects greater than$5 million, but “the arena is right in sightof our offices” and he didn’t want to see an-other competing contractor working right
under his nose.He said he teamed up with Morley
Hoppner of Ottawa, with significant expe-rience in building arenas and sports facili-ties, and the two businesses successfullysucceeded over other bidders in an open
competition.Saumure sees exciting opportunities for
redeveloping the Hershey and Rideau Re-gional Centre properties. These observa-

tions are shared by Bob Cheetham, whosays the provincial government is prepar-ing to review responses for proposals to de-velop the Rideau Regional Centre site.“This is a very well-maintained site, and Isee a multi-faceted project for the propertywith 52 buildings occupying 40 acres on asite with 354 acres of land,” he said. “Thishas major potential, whether it be residen-tial, a golf course, or whatever other devel-opment is contemplated.”
The Hershey plant – once Smiths Falls’
largest private sector employer – is anotherexample of opportunity-in-the-making.Staples and Cheetham say they have re-ceived several inquiries regarding the prop-erty, with 500,000 sq. ft. of industrial spaceon 37 acres with direct railway access.(Hershey still owns the building and site, soprospective purchasers would deal with thecompany rather than the community – butCheetham and municipal officials of coursehear from prospective purchasers as theyresearch the opportunities.)
Cheetham sees other opportunities in-cluding the redevelopment of the down-town into a heritage tourist site, with specialattention to the former water treatmentplant (now replaced by a new facility, see
separate story). “This could be a primebuilding for boutique concepts for arts andculture, perhaps some condo living on thewaterfront, and tourism access.”
As well, the town is looking to the east– the Far East. “We’ve hired an immigra-tion portal administrator” and the SmithsFalls has twinned with Xiangfan City inHubei Province, resulting in an agreement
with Willis College for a post-secondaryeducation program worth $31 million overthe next 3.5 years.
“About $6.5 million will be spent inSmiths Falls alone, with the first 100 ofthese students coming through our commu-nity,” he said.

The new Smiths Falls Water TreatmentPlant is providing the community with thehighest state-of-the-art facility in Ontario,but only after some exceptional watery con-struction challenges.
Hubie Splinter, responsible for the proj-ect at Fuller Construction Ltd. before he leftthe company for a new opportunity at theend of 2010, said the $26.5 million projectencountered once-in-a-lifetime floodswhich challenged engineers and construc-tion crews.
The original plans called for a cofferdam at the start of construction in January2008 to divert the river water while con-struction proceeded,” Splinter said. “Wehad to time the construction of that damvery carefully because of environemntal re-quirements not to interfere with the riverand its habitat.”
Unfortunately, this winter works project(the dam had to be completed and removedbefore mid-March 2008), ran into a majorproblem when “there was quite a Januarythaw and rainstorms, and the river water el-evations came up to some of the highestlevel anyone’s seen.”
With overall construction deadlines re-maining in place, the contractor needed toabandon the coffer dam until the next op-portunity to work on it in July of that year.To stay on schedule, work continued on thesite plant and reservoir, “with excavationsdown to the bottom rock elevations weneeded,” Splinter said.
“Without the coffer dam, water couldenter the site, but we thought we had itunder control with pumps and other dewa-tering methods.
“In April of 2008, we started pouring thebase (concrete) slabs on one of the build-ings,” he said. “We had all kinds of pumpson the site doing the dewatering.”
Unfortunately, once again floods pushedthe river water levels to incredible levels.Splinter said Fuller arranged for additionalpumps and “we were keeping ahead of thewater pouring into the site, so we pouredthe base slab, and concrete finishers com-
pleted their work.”Alas, the dewatering methods weren’t
enough. “The next morning, we had twohumungous swimming pools – the volumeof water that came into the site overnightwas more than the pumps could handle.”
After drying the site out, engineers re-viewed the concerete and the overall siteconditions, and determined things couldmove forward. The main cost: “It addedabout six weeks to the project.”
Despite these challenges, the plant “gotbuilt and is working the way it was intendedto and designed for.” Splinter said consult-ants, municipal officials and subcontractorsall worked co-operatively to keep the proj-ect on track despite the early wet experi-ences, thus minimizing the overallconstruction delays.
The new water treatment plant replacesa facility originally built in the 1800s. Thesite is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
It includes an AquaDAF (which is ahigh rate dissolved air floatation clarifier),dual media filtration and ultraviolet (UV)disinfection, chlorination with chlorine gas,corrosion control, fluoridation, residuemanagement and dechlorination.
The provincial and federal governmentseach contributed $8.9 million for the proj-ect.
“The Town of Smiths Falls is apprecia-tive of support provided by the province ofOntario and federal Governments under theCanada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infra-structure Fund to create the new water treat-ment plant,” Smiths Falls Mayor DennisStaples said at the new plant’s grand open-ing in July. “The new water treatment plantwill serve the needs of the municipality ofSmiths Falls for the next century and allowthe town to grow and develop.”

Cheetham and Mayor Dennis Stapleshave visited Xiangfan City and municipalofficials from the Chinese community of6.75 million have reciprocated.
Obviously, Xiangfan City dwarfsSmiths Falls – you could put the entire pop-ulation of the Ontario community into smallpart of one neighbourhood within the Chi-nese city — but there are common per-
spectives including heritage (“their’s goesback 2,800 years,” says Cheetham), water-ways, and highways in every direction.
However, the reason for the twinning isperhaps more personal. “The president ofWillis College, Rima Aristocrat, introducedSmiths Falls to Xiangfan City and the twocommunity leaders saw the advantages ofworking together,” Cheetham said.
Staples, meanwhile, describes how heknows his town intimately, recalling hisyears as administrator of the now-closedRideau Regional Centre.
“The message I would like to share is
that we are open for business,” he said. “Wewant to work with your project and plans toeither locate or expand in our community.”
Staples says the new municipal councilwill work on a 10-year forecast, with a com-prehensive proposal in January 2011 fortourism, downtown master planning, water-front development, arts and other facilities.
Saumure, meanwhile, looks to the futurewith an optimistic perspective. Besidesbuilding and redeveloping several proper-ties in the town, his company owns build-ings which house several OntarioProvincial Police stations elsewhere in the
province.“I’m 44 years old, lived here all my life,
love it, and would never move,” he says.With inexpensive land, improving road andrail access to Ottawa, and an entrepreneur-ial “can do” attitude in the municipality, hesees lots of future potential.
“We’ll become a bedroom communityfor Ottawa – and more,” he said, as thetown prepares for its first group of Chinesestudents and it attracts interest internation-ally with a website translated into six lan-guages.

Opened in 1951 as Ontario Hospital School andclosed as the Rideau Regional Centre in 2009, this stag-nant 141 ha property is now in the hands of GallipeauConstruction and undergoing a redesign promising newlife and a much-needed function in Smiths Falls.
With more than 800,000 sq. ft. of existing buildings,including food-service facilities, a large pool, a gymand laundry operations, Tracy Gallipeau of GallipeauConstruction says the site has tremendous potential.“We’ve always wanted to do an adult living complexand this spot is a good fit,” she said. “My father hasbeen in business in Smiths Falls for 30 years so it makessense for us to do this here.”
Gallipeau Construction purchased the site from theprovincial government’s Ontario Reality Corporationfor $100,000 after a lengthy and open offer. Provincialgovernment officials say the apparently low price pro-vided the best value for the government because of themaintenance costs and heritage and other requirements.
Gallipeau Construction’s plans include 175 high-endapartment units composed of standard units with an op-tion for customization. “We expect to have three modelapartments available for viewing by December but willalso offer design services for people who may be look-ing for something a little different.”
The units will all offer storage space and the site hasadequate parking for storage of recreational vehicles.Gallipeau says they have already have received in-quiries about the units. “There aren’t a lot of high-endapartments in the area for rent and with the availabilityof storage space for recreational vehicles, these unitswill be very sought after by travellers.”
Gallipeau also is preparing to reopen the site’s com-mercial laundry facility, creating 15 full-time jobs. Addto that the local sub trades who will be required to com-plete the project and the staff Gallipeau will hire to getthe job done and manage and maintain the buildingafter completion, and there is a welcome bit of job cre-ation for the community.

we can expect to happen andwe’re very pleased,”Cheetham said. “This is abig facility that provides theopportunity for a lot of goodthings to happen and we’repleased to be working withGallipeau moving forward.”
Gallipeau says the facil-ity offers plenty of space forhealth care, service and retailleases. The focus will be onservices of interest to resi-dents but open to the public.
Other public facilities in-clude the pool which, afterrenovations, should be openby winter; a gymnasiumavailable for lease; and an800-seat theatre Gallipeausays could be of interest tolocal theatre groups. “Thereis a lot of potential for this tobecome a hub for recreation,entertainment and servicesfor the community.”
Gallipeau says commer-cial services will be at thesite’s front, with residenceskept separate but with easyaccessibility for privacy and
security. Residents will alsohave access to a private de-tached garage, connected toliving quarters through aheated walkway.
Gallipeau says the sitealso contains a huge kitchenfacility and, although noth-ing has been firmed up as ofyet, the kitchens offer greatpotential for anyone inter-ested in offering meal serv-ice plans to tenants.
Once the apartments un-
dergo their renovations andthe whole facility is updatedwith fresh paint, tile andother cosmetic improve-ments, the new facility willprovide ample living quar-ters, services and recre-ational amenities to supporta growing community.
