Grey Cup boundScott Blurton, with a home-made version of the Grey Cup, was one of 25,000 ecstatic fans who watched the Ottawa Red-Blacks beat the Hamilton Ticats in the CFLs Eastern Conference final at TD Place on Nov. 22. The RedBlacks won 35-28 thanks to a last minute 93-yard touchdown pass from RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris to receiver Greg Ellingson. The victory means the RedBlacks, in only their second year of operation, are going to the Grey Cup where they will play the Edmonton Eskimos in Winnipeg on Nov. 29.

On to the Cup!

StaffCHeo has stepped for-

ward to provide health care for syrian refugee children and youth who are expected to arrive in eastern ontario this winter.

the regional childrens hospital announced nov. 23 it has partnered with Refugee 613, an ottawa-based refugee services co-ordination hub, which of-fers sponsorship, donation,

advocacy and volunteer information.

the war in syria has affected millions, and the most devastating impact has been on children and babies driven with their families from their homes, left without shelter, educa-tion or health care, said Alex Munter, CHeos president and chief execu-tive.

No child decides to become a ref-ugee, Munter said in a statement.

Were eager to help by sharing our expertise, including the inter-national experience on our team of health professionals.

Dr. Lindy Samson, chief of CHEOs infectious diseases division, said providing refugee families with health-care services as soon as they arrive is very important, and delays in treatment and services would lead to poorer outcomes as well as have long-term consequences.

One of CHEOs pediatricians is al-ready working with staff at the Cen-tretown Community Health Centre to consult on pediatric cases, most of them refugees.

CHEO clinicians have already led the development of an internationally recognized online resource at kid-snewtocanada.ca or enfantsneocana-diens.ca, which provide information on patient assessment and screening information, medical conditions, health promotion and child develop-ment, among other topics.

And the hospitals pharmacy de-partment has in place a software pro-gram, known as Picto Rx, which can

translate medication information into several languages, including Arabic. Pharmacists around the world can download the program from fip.org/pictograms.

The hospital also planned to hold its fourth-annual Global Health Day on Nov. 25, which was to focus on migrant health, including a talk on the importance on safeguarding the mental health of resettled refugees.

Because of the trauma and living conditions the refugees have expe-rienced, mental and physical health care as well as health information and vaccination will be especially important to getting kids and families settled into Canadian life, the hospi-tal said in the statement.

Marginalized voices, human rights issues focus of inaugural police learning forumErin [email protected]

In the wake of 9/11, Ottawa police quick-ly reached out to faith groups, including Muslim leaders, in hopes they would turn to officers if ever they felt unsafe and to report hate crimes.

Progress was, at first, painstakingly slow in trying to bridge the divide, build up that trust.

Over the years we would find through the grapevine that mosques were being vandalized, but there was no police report. They would just fix it and not tell us about it, said Zoye Poulin, a civilian trainer and outreach worker with the Ottawa police di-versity and race relations section.

But through increased dialogue, forums, policing events and community-based polic-ing more incidents are now being reported.

For us, thats a victory because now theyre phoning and theyre phoning us immediately, not four days later when the fingerprints are gone and the cameras have been wiped out, she said.

And this is what we want safety and security is a shared responsibility, said Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, head of the Ot-tawa police diversity and race relations sec-

tion. We need that community collabora-tion and partnership.

Ottawa police are taking their commu-nity engagement with marginalized groups one step further with its inaugural Human Rights Learning Forum on Dec. 3 at the St.

Elias Centre, organized in partnership with the Community and Police Action Commit-tee, or COMPAC, and the police GLBT Li-aison Committee.

See MENTAL HEALTH, page 5

ERIn MCCRACkEn/METROLAnDZoye Poulin and Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, with the Ottawa police diversity and race relations section, are preparing for the inaugural Ottawa Police Human Rights Learning Forum on Dec. 3, which will feature guest speakers from marginalized groups and the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

Mental health to be explored during forumContinued from page 3

The event, held in recog-nition of Human Rights Day on Dec. 10, aims to bring to-gether officers, service pro-viders and marginalized or racialized people for a day of sharing and brainstorm-ing.

Reports of hate crimes in the wake of the recent dead-ly Paris attacks only makes the forum that much more timely, said Zackrias.

During the forum, guest speakers from marginalized communities gay, aborigi-nal, racialized, refugee will share their experiences. A Muslim speaker will share what its like to wear a hijab head scarf, for example.

So thats an opportunity for the community plus the police to hear from that per-spective and get an under-standing what those issues are, Zackrias said, who hopes these perspectives will lead to conversations in the room.

If we dont add these types of opportunities or

dialogue, we dont know what those communities are going through, what their is-sues are, what their concerns are, he said, adding that while everyone has biases, its important to recognize what they are so they can be managed.

I think at the end of the day theres a common de-nominator with the problem and it ultimately falls to un-conscious biases, Zackrias said.

Mental health will also be a topic of discussion, while competing human rights will be discussed by Renu Mand-hane, the new Ontario Hu-man Rights commissioner. Gerry McNeilly from the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, an independent civilian over-

sight agency that manages and oversees all complaints about Ontario police, will also speak.

The idea for the forum came out of a review of the police services community engagement program last year, which had evolved out of a need to reach out to communities that tradition-ally dont have a relationship with police, Poulin said.

The results revealed a need for more interactive op-portunities to connect, which could produce tangible re-sults and strategies to en-courage more people to seek out police when they need help.

In our section, what weve realized is a lot of the communities that have been traditionally marginalized, or racialized communities, are least likely to access po-licing services because of their fear and the history that they bring, Poulin said.

That makes them more vulnerable.

Theyre less likely to come forward which makes

them more likely to be vic-timized, she said.

Its hoped that through feedback at the forum, a framework will emerge that will help police better serve the public, but also show the community and individuals what they can do to create positive change.

Forum attendees could, for instance, brainstorm a public education strategy to help prevent hate-related in-cidents, he said.

The ideas that do emerge will help COMPAC and the GLBT committee identify strategies that would help shape their business plans as well as a work plan for the diversity and race relations section, beginning in the new year.

Being proactive is better than being reactive.

It starts with conversa-tions and putting it at the forefront, Zackrias said. If we dont talk about these is-sues, theyll never reach that surface. That could lead to changing behaviours and at-titudes.

EVENT DETAILS

The forum takes place Dec. 3, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the St. Elias Centre locat-ed at 750 Ridgewood Ave. in the Mooneys Bay area.

Advance registration is required and can be done at ottawapolice.ca/diversity.

Protestors rally against Herongate winter evictionsErin [email protected]

Despite repeated calls that the eviction of 54 Herongate families this winter be delayed until next sum-mer when children are out of school, the property owner has rejected the request.

Timbercreek Communities says it has already gone above and beyond

what is required by law in its deal-ings with the existing residents when it comes to giving notice and provid-ing financial assistance.

There will be no extension of this deadline, Timbercreek Communi-ties said in a letter sent to Herongate tenant Mavis Finnamore on Nov. 18, the day before tenants, members of advocacy group ACORN and union supporters held a rally on Nov. 19 at

Heron Road and Sandalwood Drive.The block of townhomes will be

demolished next year to make way for a 300-plus-unit residential devel-opment.

I feel that Ive been compromised in my choices, and many people here feel theyve been pushed out and theyve been pushed into making de-cisions that arent the best for them because this is not the best time for

rentals, said Finnamore, who will move to Centrepointe at the begin-ning of December after more than 30 years in Herongate.

In refusing to change the eviction deadline from Feb. 29, 2016, to the end of June, the company said it has provided five months notice which is considerably more than required by the act, Rob Smeaton, regional manager of Herongate Timbercreek Communites and Dennis Jacobs with Momentum Planning and Communi-cations, wrote Finnamore, referring to the required three months notice under the provincial Residential Ten-ancies Act.

Tenants who move outside Her-ongate will be given three months rent and a $1,500 moving allowance. Those who relocate to another Tim-bercreek property within the com-munity will receive the same allow-ance and free rent for the first, sixth and eleventh months.

Of those affected, 31 of 54 fami-lies have found alternate accommo-dation within other Timbercreek-owned properties in Herongate.

Thirteen families have already moved elsewhere in Herongate, more have made arrangements to move by Jan. 1, and 23 have said they are pur-chasing a home or have found anoth-er place outside the community.

Twenty-six families have not yet indicated when they will be moving.

Jacobs, a principal planner with Momentum, which has been speak-ing on behalf of Timbercreek, said he is aware at least eight families havent found alternate housing as of yet, but he is confident homes will be

found for them.Some have provided move-out

dates but others are waiting until they have a better sense of when theyre going to move or when it works for them to move before committing to a date, he said.

They seem to think that offer-ing money will make things bet-ter, but thats not always the case, Finnamore said during the rally, where protestors held a large card-board and metal eviction bus sign.

That moving allowance and three months rent thats only available after you turn in your keys, she said. So for a lot of people that dont have a lot of money what thats meant is theyve all had to try and scramble around and try to find some money to pay for the moving, (and) first and last months rent.

Magda Burham, a mother of six, said she turned down the offer of a nearby Timbercreek home because it has too many stairs.

Its hard for my daughter because she has poor co-ordination and I ask for another (option), she said.

Her choices are limited, she add-ed, because the family relies on sub-sidized rent.

Its very stressful, she said.Suzanne Valiquet, with Momen-

tum Planning, said Timbercreek of-fered to put in handrails, but Burham still refused the offer.

The city, which is involved be-cause of the rental subsidy, offered her a place in Bells Corners, but she also turned that down.

See NO, page 7

ERIN MCCRACkEN/METROlANDThough residents gathered at the corner of Heron Road and Sandal-wood Drive on Nov. 19 to protest the wintertime evictions of several Herongate families, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser says there is the potential for abuse if an outright ban of winter evictions is enacted.

No evicted families have sought support to change schools: spokespersonContinued from page 6

Every person here is us-ing one word: cruel, Clinton Cowan, president of the Alta Vista Community Association and vice-president of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, said during the protest.

Its cruel to have people move out in the middle of win-ter.

Protestors found support from Nelson Ross Laguna, a member of the Ontario Public Service Staff Union, who said the evictions couldnt come at a worse time.

Quite frankly, its inhumane to do this at this time of the year, he said. And theres no good reason for it.

While Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said the relocation of residents could have been done differently, banning win-ter evictions isnt possible be-cause then tenants could simply stop paying rent during winter months without penalty.

We have to continue to work hard to help them through this transition, Fraser said.

While the future redevelop-

ment of the oldest neighbour-hood in Herongate will ben-efit the entire community once completed, Alta Vist Coun. Jean Cloutier said that does not take away that I acknowledge that this eviction is disruptive to peoples lives at this time of year.

He would support a change to the move-out date, but said the company has exceeded what it is legally required to provide tenants.

Im concerned about the timing, but it is what it is and they are within their rights to do it, he said.

Chris Ellis, public school trustee for Zone 6, which in-cludes Alta Vista, said he was notified about the eviction by the principal of nearby Charles H. Hulse Public School.

Certainly the disruption that its caused within the community affects children so that when they come to school theyre not as prepared to learn, he said, adding it would have been pref-erable to relocate residents next summer.

The best outcome (for) fam-ilies, students and schools would

be for Timbercreek to wait until the end of the school year for evictions, Ellis said, adding that while the board will allow students whose families relocate outside the school boundaries to continue at the same school, transportation is an exception.

It would be on the parents to bring their children, he said.

This is not a community that would be easily able to transport their child every day back and forth to Charles H. Hulse.

But Timbercreeks rep said they have not heard from par-ents of children whose school-ing may be affected by a move outside the area.

No one has actually come forward to us from any of the families to indicate to us that they need help, Jacobs said.

While some protestors ex-pressed concern over the loss of affordable housing, Valiquet said the redevelopment will pro-vide even more housing stock.

Youre going from 80 units to offering more than 300, she said, adding that its possible some of those rents could be supplemented through an agree-ment with the city.

ERIN MCCRACkEN/METROLANdLongtime Herongate resident Mavis Finnamore stands in front of an eviction bus sign to call for the planned winter eviction of 54 families from a Herongate rental property be delayed until after the school year. ACORN members, tenants and union members protested at the corner of Heron Road and Sandalwood Drive on Nov. 19. Timbercreek Communities is planning to demolish units to make way for a new multi-unit residential development.

The horrific massacre in Paris last Friday has rightly prompted worldwide condemnation.However, its just the latest attack on in-nocent civilians by a group that has twisted the teachings of a respected religion to try to justify its own warped political ends.

In the face of such barbarism, its easy to lash out in anger and seek revenge by trying to bomb ISIS into oblivion, but that would only victimize more civilians.

Its also easy to give in to fear and over-react by blaming all Muslims, including the refugees trying so desperately to find sanctuary from the despotism and civil war that spawned ISIS in the first place.

There were several ISIS bombings last week, with many of the victims Muslims. The indiscriminate multiple killings that shook Lebanon and Iraq are just the latest in a long line of vicious attacks in those countries. And no wonder people are risking their lives to escape Syria with the civil war killing more than 200,000 civilians, many of them children, in the last four years.

Yet petitions have been circulating around social media since the Paris shootings demanding Canada renege on its plans to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees because of security concerns.

Such scare-mongering doesnt make much sense.

Certainly, Canada and other nations accepting refugees should do due diligence when screening newcomers. But to suggest that people trying to flee from ISIS will suddenly become terrorists in their new countries is illogical.

As shown by the killings of soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal last fall, its the home-grown terrorists and malcontents, not immigrants, we have to worry about.

If were to stop all Muslims coming to Canada because of the atrocities of ISIS, then should we have prevented the Irish from moving to the country because of the terrorist acts of the IRA or the thug-gery of the Ulster Defence League? Or should we have banned all German immigration because of the crimes of the Nazis.

There is a saying floating around the Internet sug-gesting that ISIS is to Islam what the Klu Klux Klan is to Christianity. While the analogy isnt perfect, it does show the dangers of tarring a religion with the brush of its extremists.

The refugees are trying to escape the terror of ISIS. We shouldnt let the fanatics, criminals and thugs that kill on that renegade movements behalf scare us into turning away those trying to escape their inhumanity.

Dont blame the refugees

This particular neighbour-hood is in transition, and every time you look there are new stores in places where old stores used to be. You would miss the old stores if you could remember what they were.

A general rule of thumb is that in trendy neighbourhoods, stores that sell useful things are replaced by stores that sell things that look nice. Also, there is coffee everywhere, and even some tea.

Coffee is probably a good thing. It is nice that people have a place to hang out.

They get out of the house and visit with friends, which is way bet-ter than staying at home looking at Facebook. Also, logic dictates that if more people are drinking coffee,

less are drinking booze, and society benefits.

Of course, one unforeseen problem is that many of the people at the coffee shops are not hanging out with anybody. They are hanging out with their computers, probably looking at Facebook. Still, there are worse social problems.

It is interesting to look at the names of the new stores and what struck me on this particular walk was the number of places that had the word bar in their name but

werent bars.We have long been familiar with

sushi bars. But here, in the space of a couple of blocks, there was a pasta bar and a vegetarian food and juice bar. There was also Hair Lounge and Blow Dry Bar.

We are in desperate need of a theory to explain this. It is far too simplistic to say that a place is called a bar just because it has a bar people sit at.

To begin with, it should be noted that there was also an actual bar that is, a place where people go to drink alcohol that was called a bar.

So that confuses things a bit. But there were other bars that were not called bars.

In fact, when you think about the bars you go to, not many of them are called bars any more. They are called pubs and taverns and bistros and lounges.

Is this all being done simply to

confuse us? Perhaps. There is a theory that the more

confused a shopper is, the more likely he is to spend money on something just to regain his sense of identity.

Thats why shopping malls used to hide their clocks and their washrooms.

But more likely, there is some-thing in the word bar that store owners think we will find attrac-tive. You cant think of anything less bar-like than a vegetarian food store, but maybe people will be more likely to want to hang out in one if it is named after a place people like to hang out namely, a bar.

If this theory is correct, it fol-lows that we will soon see muffler bars, dental bars and income tax preparation bars. Just belly up.

As times change, we will see new nomenclature, as we always do and the latest thing will catch

on. Watch for spa, a name now attached to an increasing variety of businesses, which must be confus-ing to those who simply want to have their toenails buffed.

It might be just the thing to revive declining attendance in churches, just to take one example.

A bar by any other name

Notice of Commencement of Transit Project Assessment ProcessConfederation Line East Extension

The Project

The City of Ottawa is developing a plan to extend and expand the Citys existing Light Rail Transit network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line farther east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place dOrlans station and ultimately, to Trim Road.

The plan includes options to service the community of Orlans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne dArc Boulevard, Orlans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place dOrlans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Cresent/Mockingbird Drive (Orlans Town Centre), Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road.

The Process

Planning efforts have been completed and the City is now formalizing the environmental assessment component in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared to document the study process, a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, as well as the projects consultation program.

Consultation

Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are invited to review the work completed to-date, including previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council on this project during the planning phase. Information about the progress of the project to date is available on the Citys website at ottawa.ca/easternLRT. In winter-spring 2016, the draft EPR will be made available for public review and notification will be issued.

For Geety MacLean, a chance encounter with a woman whose name she barely knew proved life-saving.

After the two ran into each other at work, MacLean, a Crystal Beach resident, received an email from the woman urging her to get a mam-mogram.

But in MacLeans mind, she couldnt possibly have breast cancer.

Her risk factors were low. The mother of two young children had no signs or symptoms. And there was no family history.

But that was so not true, she said.Soon after, she went to her family doctor for

a check-up and asked about a mammogram. She

was 45 years old and outside the 50- to 75-year-old range of when women are invited to be screened through the Ontario Breast Screening Program without the need for a doctors referral.

Despite this, her family doctor arranged for a baseline mammogram in March 2006. MacLean and her family were on their way to Boston for the March break when the doctor called to say further testing was needed.

I thought, Thats a death sentence. Holy cow, recalled MacLean. But then I thought, there is no cancer in my family. Theres no way it can be cancer. It has to be something else.

Biopsy results revealed she had cancer through-out her right breast, which led to her undergoing a mastectomy.

See SCREENING, page 15

ErIn MCCrACkEn/METrOLAnDBreast cancer survivor and Crystal Beach resident Geety MacLean, left, with Dr. Jean Seely, the Ottawa Hospitals physician lead for the regional breast screening program, stand beside a mammography machine at the Civic campus-based Womens Breast Health Centre. Seely says screening rates remain too low, particularly for immigrant women.

news on the go opinion Connected to your community

If you have children in a licensed childcare facility in Ottawa, youll understand two things. First, there arent enough spaces, so youre lucky to have a licensed space. Second, child-care is extremely expensive.

It was five years ago that my eldest children were in the childcare system. At that time, a full-time space cost $750. The same full-time space in 2015 costs $980, which represents 30 per cent inflation.

Sadly, wages havent gone up and no level of government has stepped up to make child-care more accessible nor more affordable.

Changes to the provincial funding model that take hold in January will impact how cities subsidize families and childcare facilities.

There are two things that directly affect the operating budgets of childcare centres. The first is that subsidies, once attached to a space in a centre, will now float with the fami-lies that need them. The second change is that the subsidies provided to centres will be more equally distributed across all licensed facilities in the city.

While at a glance this seems like a fair way to distribute money and that is, in fact, the point the hidden downside is that nearly half of childcare fa-cilities in Ottawa are preparing to lose a huge chunk of cash.

What does that mean for par-ents in the system? You guessed it fees are set to increase once again.

In 2015, this is, quite frankly, unacceptable. Parents are already paying close to $1,000 per month for a pre school-aged

space and more than $1,000 per month for a toddler space for a spot in a licensed childcare fa-cility. Multiply by two children and thats a hefty amount of cash for any family to put out each month.

As one father recently noted, The message from the various levels of government is that parents should stay home with their children and not work. Who is most likely to stay home? The mother. So the message is, inadvertently, that women are not equal players and shouldnt go to work if they have children.

Out of one side of their mouths, politicians talk about equality. They purport that women are essential to the labour force as taxpayers. And yet, affordable and accessible childcare, arguably the single most important thing to work-ing parents, is relegated to the chopping block, with zero vi-sion for a sustainable future.

The withdrawal of funding to childcare centres in Ottawa is guaranteed to devastate some.

Two childcare centres Tup-per Tots and St. Elias have already closed this year.

Some say its due to the introduction of full-day kinder-garten.

Others argue, in the case of Tupper Tots, a withdrawal of support from the employer in this case the federal government caused its demise.

The city has $7.75 million on reserve to help soften the blow for the approximately 47 per cent of childcare centres set to lose funding over the next four years under the new subsidy model. Thats little comfort to parents who must anticipate considerable fee increases over the next four years to make-up the shortfall.

Every December, city coun-cillors have to make tough deci-sions about where to allocate budget money.

Too often we see a huge bur-den placed on the most vulner-able bus fares go up; library fees increase or branches close; and now childcare centres are preparing to take a big hit.

Im not naive I realize funding needs to be more equitably distributed and that vulnerable families and the cen-tres which serve them require more funding.

But withdrawing essential subsidies from the operating budgets of nearly 100 childcare centres, thereby making them vulnerable, is not the way to achieve this goal.

Hunt Club Rd. Speed ReductionI am pleased to announce that the Transportation Committee recommendation to reduce the speed limit on Hunt Club Rd. between Cahill Rd. East and Conroy Rd. to 60 km/h was approved with overwhelming support at the Nov. 12 City Council meeting. This initiative was the result of numerous requests from community associations and local residents. It is both a safety issue and an issue related to the vibration of homes along Hunt Club Rd. As well, the opening of the 417 interchange at Hunt Club Rd. has increased the volume of vehicles and heavy truck traffic, which has exacerbated the concerns of local residents. The date of implementation for this reduction will be within 6-8 weeks. I look forward to better road safety for Ward 10 residents.Essay Contest: Vibrant Communities Equal Healthy Communities As a strong community supporter, I am thrilled to announce that I will be hosting an essay contest on the topic of Vibrant Communities Equal Healthy Communities for high school-aged residents of the Albion-Heatherington community. We want to hear from youth in that specific neighbourhood about their vision of what makes a good community great and what theyd like to see happen in their neighbourhood to create a vibrant and healthy community. Students may submit a 500-750 word original essay in either English or French to [email protected]. All essays are due no later than 4 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2015. First, second and third place winners will receive a monetary prize thanks to the generous financial sponsorship of Hydro Ottawa. Winners will be announced the week of Dec. 14, 2015. Complete contest rules and eligibility requirements are available at www.dianedeans.ca.Update to Southway Lighting of the South End This year, the Southway Hotel located at 2431 Bank St. will continue its tradition of lighting the south end with a brilliant display of holiday lights. Due to construction and renovation of the hotel limiting available space, the ceremony and event activities will not proceed this year. To account for this, the Zlepnig family, the owners of the hotel, will be making a donation to the Ottawa Food Bank on behalf of the Southway Hotel and the Waterford Retirement Community-Ottawa.Green Christmas CardsThis holiday season, I will be delivering my annual Christmas cards by email to be more green and help reduce paper waste. I will be printing a limited number of traditional holiday cards for those who prefer to receive wishes the old-fashioned way. To ensure that you receive a holiday card or to add your contact information to my email list, please contact my office by calling 613-580-2480 or emailing [email protected].

Screening rates for immigrant women too lowContinued from page 9

Screening, MacLean said, saved her life.

But the fact remains that screening rates remain very low, which prompted the Ot-tawa Hospital to host a public breast, colorectal and cervical cancer screening event at the Riverside campus in October.

It was such a good way to encourage people to screen and to really identify people who dont have family physi-cians who might see that as a barrier to not come in for the screening, said Dr. Jean Seely, the Ottawa Hospitals physician lead for the regional breast screening program.

She is also involved in the creation of a new Womens Breast Health Centre at the General campus Cancer Cen-tre, which will, once open by the end of 2016, consolidate screening and diagnostic ser-vices to serve more patients.

The Riverside clinic was also a way to improve access for new immigrants since studies show just 50 per cent are screened, though the target is 80 to 90 per cent.

New immigrants fear the word cancer, said Seely, who was involved in Ma-cLeans breast cancer diag-nosis. They think if you get cancer it might be a death sen-tence.

We are so much further ahead by early detection that it doesnt have to be that ter-rible outcome that they expect or think of it.

Thats why more clinics will be held in the future and efforts are being made to reach out to different ethnic commu-nities through church groups, health centres and outreach programs to encourage them to be screened together.

MacLean said growing up in Iran, cancer wasnt talked about. And when she told her parents by phone about her di-agnosis the day before her sur-gery, it was a very low point.

To them, they thought I was going to die, she said.

Following the surgery, doc-tors determined MacLeans cancer had, in fact, spread to her lymph nodes.

Now you have to go through chemo, radiation ...

and a slew of tests, said Ma-cLean, who remained posi-tive, vowing to be strong for her children.

I never said, Why me? I always said thank God that I had a guardian angel that girl at work who sent me that email, and my family doctor who actually said lets do a baseline (mammogram), she said.

Early diagnosis saves lives, said Seely.

Your long-term survival is almost 95 per cent. Its very, very good.

Women ages 40 to 50, the age range when 20 per cent of breast cancers will appear, can get a mammogram done at a qualified breast centre.

Every decade is another 20 to 25 per cent, Seely said. You cant say wait for risk factors because 80 per cent of women have no risk factors.

And just one per cent of the population has a strong family history of breast cancer.

Alicia St. Hill Nasser, man-ager of the Champlain Re-gional Cancer Programs Inte-grated Cancer Screening, said mammograms are a 10-minute test that can help save wom-ens lives.

We know that there are many women who still arent being screened, said St. Hill Nasser, who is based at the Hampton Park Breast Screen-ing Centre, at Carling and Kirkwood avenues, and was also involved in the one-day public screening clinic.

Women ages 50 to 55 are the most under-screened.

Cancers can be very slow-growing and detecting them

early increases your chances of surviving many-fold, she said. Mammograms can find tumours much smaller than half a centimetre. Do it for

your peace of mind, but do it to detect cancer early, too.

For additional details on screening, including locations, visit ow.ly/V1p4j.

We are so much further ahead by early detection that it doesnt have to be that terrible outcome that they expect or think of it.Dr. Jean Seely

Healthy Kids Community Challenge in OttawaEarlier this month, I was pleased to announce that

our government awarded the City of Ottawa funding

for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. The

Healthy Kids Community Challenge promotes healthy

eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices

among children. The City of Ottawa is receiving up to

$1,125,000 from Government of Ontario to fund local

community projects.

We know that good habits learned in childhood

will serve children well throughout their lives. Our

childrens future health and success is a shared

responsibility, and we need to work together as a

community to help our children lead healthier lives.

That is why the Healthy Kids Community Challenge

takes a collaborative approach to help communities

develop and implement policies, programs and

environmental supports. The City of Ottawa will be

drawing on support from numerous partners, including

community, sport and recreation associations and

community health and resource centers as it works to

develop and implement programs.

I am looking forward to seeing the progress in Ottawa

and across the province as we help children and youth

in our community develop good habits and lead

healthier lives.

FilePeople of all ages enjoy the 2014 Canterbury Breakfast with Santa at the Canterbury Community Centre. This year, the breakfast, featuring a visit from Santa Claus himself, will be held on Dec. 12.


Santa is coming to Canterbury.The neighbourhood within Alta

Vista will officially kick off its hol-iday season with the arrival of Old Saint Nick during the sixth-annual Canterbury Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 12.

Breakfast with Santa is a long-standing tradition in Alta Vista that i am so happy to continue, said Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, whose office is organizing the event.

The joy on the childrens faces when they see Santa and when they get their little gifts and do the crafts is part of the thread that weaves our community together at this happy time of year.

The free breakfast at the Canter-bury Community Centre will fea-ture pancakes, once again catered by lorenzos Pizzeria, as well as childrens activities, including crafts, and the chance to visit with Santa, from 8 to 10 a.m.

Because its a very important date for Santa and even though hes very busy at this time of year, hes promised us he would be there,

Cloutier said. The gathering has traditionally

served as one of the communitys most well-attended family-friendly events, and Cloutier said this year will be no exception. last year, about 600 people attended.

This will be his offices second year organizing the breakfast. last December, he and his staff picked up the torch from where former Alta Vista councillor Peter Hume and his office staff left off.

But for years leading up to that point, Cloutier was involved in the holiday celebration in his former role as president of the Canterbury Community Association. The asso-ciation will again be offering assis-tance and providing much-needed volunteers.

While the councillor and his staff find the funds for the Christmas party, its the volunteers who make it the hallmark celebration that it has become, year after year.

Volunteers put in a lot of hours. Volunteers are the best, Cloutier said.

Breakfast with Santa takes place at the Canterbury Community Cen-tre at 2185 Arch St.

United Way plans to invest in all that kids can be

Jennifer [email protected]

The United Way of Ottawa is betting on our future.

The local charity is focusing its annual fundraising cam-paign on all that kids can be.

The call for proposals opened on Nov. 9 and will continue until Dec. 4.

Carole Gagnon, the vice-president of community im-pact, said this years theme has two areas of focus: school readiness and critical hours.

School readiness speaks to anything from prenatal care to speech development.

We are looking for pro-grams for parents or caregiv-ers that will support physical well-being as well as social development, language and literacy, Gagnon said. Also skill development through play.

Gagnon said school readi-ness really attempts to work with kids up to age four, while the critical hours focus will

work with kids from age six to 18.

That really implies any-thing outside school hours, Gagnon said, adding it could mean mentorship programs, homework clubs, or social and recreational programs.

United Way launched their annual $16-million campaign on Sept. 15 and will raise funds until the end of March.

She said typically the char-ity gets a lot of requests for funding.

We usually get asked for the equivalent of triple the amount of money we take in, she said, adding it can be tough to choose.

Last year, the organization funded 44 new organizations and continued the multi-year funding for 66 programs it had already committed to

meaning they were a funding partner for 100 organizations across the city.

The selection process relies on dozens of volunteers who serve on the selection commit-tee and are subject experts.

We have teachers, people from the community, people from all walks of life, who help make the decision, she said.

The annual campaign pledges to change the lives of

57,200 people no small feat when the economy is slow and a dollar has to stretch further, Gagnon said.

Thankfully we are on track with the same time last year, she said, adding Ottawans are

very generous. Gagnon said this years fo-

cus is important because chil-dren are the future.

Its all about giving kids the best start possible, she said.

Im moved by being backContinued from page 19

Shatner recalls walking back and forth 10 blocks along Ride-au Street to morning rehearsals for his first paid acting gig at the Canadian Repertory Theatre.

It was his first time living on his own away from family after he graduated from McGill Uni-versity in 1951.

I may have helped build the Peace Tower, quips the star, who turns 85 in March.

Laughter erupts from the crowd of about 300 during an intimate talk and question-and-answer session at the EY Centre on Nov. 20.

His arrival was a special addi-tion the evening before the two-day Pop Expo Ottawa was to take over the conference centre for its annual celebration of ev-erything science fiction and fan-tasy, from movies and TV shows to comics and collectible toys.

Ottawa was Shatners first home as a starving actor, the place where he lived on lunches of toasted cheese sandwiches at Murrays.

Im almost weeping. Im

moved by being back in Ot-tawa, he says.

Shatner says several great ac-tors emerged out of that theatre, including Toronto-born actor Christopher Plummer. Shatner once served as Plummers Hen-ry IV understudy at the Stratford

Festival Theatre, where the ac-tors spent their summers when they werent in Ottawa.

The (Ottawa theatre) paid me enough money to do my laundry. But if I wanted to go to a movie or do anything else I would have to turn down the

meal. I starved, he says. I was the starving actor in Ottawa. My room had a rope mattress.

But through the experience he was able to follow in the foot-steps of some legendary Cana-dian performers.

Canada, he says, has given the world great art, writers, cine-matographers, actors, painters.

With a great new prime min-ister Trudeau is back youve got a Kennedy here Canada is the land of the future and though already a great nation, it is on the crest of being one of the greatest, insists Shatner.

And its these great artists who are leading the way. Every-thing is pointing to us.

So smoked meat and Ottawa are intrinsically linked about why I think of my past and what I think of the future of Canada.

TOO SHORT TO BE A STORMTROOPER

Findlay Creek resident Lee Barnett was the first person at the mic to ask Shatner about his appearance on the County Music Association Awards

stage in Nashville earlier this month dressed as a Star Wars stormtrooper a complete sur-prise to the audience.

He looks a little short to be a stormtrooper, Barnett recalls of his wifes reaction, referencing a famous Star Wars line. And all of a sudden the helmet comes off and its William Shatner.

I have a wonderful story, Shatner replies around a mouth-ful of smoked meat.

Everyone laughs. Shatner has already been telling a plethora of stories on salmon farming, where he gets his energy, the re-booted Star Trek movies, global warming and riding horses, the influence of celebrity, Green-peace, directing Star Trek epi-sodes and reluctantly coming to grips with his age because Im going to die soon, he says, before making everyone laugh with: We can analyze the word soon.

Barnett, who has become a fixture at Pop Expo and Ottawa Comiccon, says hes in no rush for an answer, clearly relishing chatting with the star.

Shatner says his appearance was the result of a trade he made with country singer Brad Pais-ley.

His phone rings, he recalls. Its Paisley wanting him to fill

in for a sketch at the awards on short notice.

Bill, we have Donald Trump in the sketch and the head of ABC said (we) cant use it because (Trumps) going to be on Saturday Night Live and its going to be too much public-ity for a Republican nominee, Shatner says.

So Bill, if I send my private jet Wednesday morning can you be here Wednesday night to go on and take Trumps place?

I now have Brad Paisley in my pocket, Shatner tells his fans, who laugh.

He has been looking for western stars willing to appear at his annual horse show, which raises funds for physically-chal-lenged kids. Paisley has taken part before and now this trade of favours means Shatner can ask him to enlist his famous friends to get involved.

Barnett steps away from the mic, clearly pleased.

He gave us a great answer on how it came together because everybodys always tried to get him to talk Star Wars and be a part of something Star Wars, Barnett says. And for him to actually come out and surprise everybody with something that nobody knew is quite interest-ing

Just a few days after their previous coach held a going away press conference, the Ottawa Fury have a new head coach.

Ottawa Fury FC appointed Paul Dalglish on Nov. 20 as the second head coach in the clubs history. Dalglish brings extensive experience as a pro-fessional player and coach to the Fury. He joins the Fury from the Austin Aztex, where he served as head coach and technical director. Dalglish will serve as both head coach and general manager of Fury FC.

The head coach position at Ottawa Fury FC has gar-nered significant interest and, in Paul, we have attracted one of the most impressive young coaches in North American, stated Fury FC President John

Pugh.The announcement came

soon after Marc Dos Santos spoke as the clubs head coach for the last time at a press con-ference on Nov. 17, fondly re-calling some favourite memo-ries with the team.

The Furys season wrapped up with a 3-2 loss in a NASL championship game against the New York Cosmos in New York on Nov. 15.

Dos Santos, who was named NASL coach of the year, joined the club as its first head coach in 2014 and announced he would not be returning for the 2016 season in September.

The gafa as hes some-times called is leaving us. Lifes a journey for Marc and were fortunate to have been one stop on his highway, said Pugh.

He wins wherever he goes and hes certainly won here in Ottawa for us.

The Furys second year in the NASL saw the team place second in the league overall with a record of 15-11-4.

The team placed ninth in the spring section of its split sea-son, going 2-5-3, then turned things around, losing only one game down to stretch to win the fall season.

Dos Santos said the teams semi-final game against Min-nesota at TD Place in front of more than 9,000 fans was a highlight of his time with the club.

We have to strive in Ottawa to have not only one but many nights like that, he said.

The night the team won the fall season in Jacksonville was another fond memory, he said.

Dos Santos thanked Pugh, the Ottawa Sports Entertain-ment Group and his players for the two seasons.

This group of men has been something very special

ALEx RObiNSON/METROLANDFormer Ottawa Fury coach Marc Dos Santos speaks at a press conference marking the end of the teams 2015 season. Dos Santos has left the team to take another coaching position in North Americas premier soccer league.

Fury say goodbye to old coach, hello to new one

for me personally in my life. ive never learned so much with a group, Dos Santos said of his players.

it made my job easier.Dos Santos is departing

the Fury for a new role with a new club in the premier soc-

cer league in North America, a step up from the level of soc-cer that the Ottawa Fury play in.
