St. Mary Catholic School kindergartner Avary Stubbert did Team Canada gold medalist Natalie Spooner a big favour by holding on to her medal during a school presentation on June 4. Silver medalists Kelsey Serwa and Dylan Moscovitch joined Spooner on a three-day Celebration of Excellence Heroes Tour to Ottawa-area schools to share their stories from Sochi and inspire future Olympic athletes.
Having an enthusiastic cheering squad is a big key to success, and three Canadian Olympic medalists stopped by St. Mary Catholic School in Ottawa South on June 4 to thank them for their support
and to share some stories from the Sochi Winter Games.
Hockey gold medalist Nata-lie Spooner, ski-cross silver medalist Kelsey Serwa and pairs fi gure skating silver med-alist Dylan Moscovitch arrived to a packed gym of students proudly belting out the national anthem and wildly waving their miniature fl ags.
The visit was part of a three-

News – In an election where many Ontarians feel their choices are bad, worse or downright impossible, Nepean-Carleton candidate Coreen Corcoran hopes her Libertarian message will ring true for voters.
“I’m really hoping for some surprises,” said Corcoran, a Riverside South resident who is running for the Ontario Lib-ertarian Party for the fi rst time. Corcoran said the big-spend-ing, mainstream parties are all starting to look the same, and a small-government message could be an attractive solution when voters head to the polls June 12.
“The big goal was to get our names in, to be an extra choice for people on the bal-lot,” said the 44-year-old tech-nical writer.
The Libertarians have can-didates running in 74 of 107 ridings across the province, more than ever before.
The party platform calls for drastic limitations in govern-ment spending, subsidies and hand-outs, as well as an end to government involvement in what Libertarians feel should
be private industries. “We want to make it easier
for private and free market to exist,” Corcoran said.
She said the province-owned Beer Store and LCBO are two perfect examples. “The government can put rules in about age requirements and drinking, but do they have to be the ones to execute on the actual selling of the beer and wine?”
Corcoran said she was a long-time supporter of the Progressive Conservatives un-til about a year ago, when she became disenfranchised.
“I started to think (the Con-servatives) were losing their way,” she said.
Through social media, she came across the Libertarians
and liked what she saw. Before she knew it, she was signed up as Nepean-Carleton’s Liber-tarian candidate.
“Things just kind of evolved. I agree with what they’re trying to do.”
As a party, the Ontario Lib-ertarians want to see major changes across the province, including a complete overhaul of the education system to have funding follow the child rather than the school board.
That means parents could send their child to any school – public, Catholic or private – and funding would go, too.
“It sounds like chaos but it’s a hypothetical that we think would be a better sys-tem than right now where everything just gets pooled,” Corcoran said.
In Nepean-Carleton, Corco-ran said education will con-tinue to be a major issue for the many young families in the riding.
Health care would also change drastically under a Libertarian scheme.
Corcoran wholeheartedly supports a two-tier system, which she experienced when she lived in the United King-dom.
“I don’t think there’s any honour in a two-year waiting list for a hip replacement, just for the sake of saying, ‘this is the Canadian way,’” Corcoran said.
Corcoran said another big priority for Nepean-Carleton residents continues to be re-ducing hydro rates, especially in rural areas.
Corcoran said would like at least one Libertarian candi-date elected on June 12.
She also hopes her fellow candidates can take the fourth spot in the fi nal tally over the Green Party.

News – Manotick residents will have to wait a little lon-ger to see what will become of the vacant Weaver’s House after an initial deal to turn the building into a boutique fell through.
The heritage building at 1131 Mill St. in Manotick’s historic Dickinson Square was one of fi ve city-owned buildings and lots put on the market last year.
This was part of the Manotick Mill Quarter Com-munity Development Corpo-ration’s mandate to recuper-ate the city’s costs for buying the buildings from the Rideau Valley Conservation Author-ity in 2007.
At the time, the corpora-tion’s board imposed strict guidelines on bidders in an effort to maintain the heritage atmosphere of the square and to promote public use of the space.
Three of the fi ve proper-ties received successful bids, including one from Orleans businesswoman Lorna Chal-lis to turn Weaver’s House into a boutique similar to her year-round Christmas-themed store, Christmas Presence, in Orleans.
However, that deal has now fallen through, according to Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who said the house has been sold to anoth-er undisclosed bidder.
The property was listed through the city’s real estate
department for 30 days in May. Moffatt said that there had been other bidders for Weaver’s House in the initial process which fi nished in the fall, but they didn’t meet the guidelines. The guidelines still applied in the new sale process.
Challis couldn’t be reached for comment, but Moffatt said the deal fell through after her business partner pulled out for personal reasons.
The new sale has still not closed, but Moffatt said when it does he will host a public meeting to reveal the new plan for Weaver’s House.
Permitted uses on the lot in-clude things like retail stores, a bed and breakfast, an artist studio, offi ce space or even a small-batch brewery.

Joy Clarke and Joan Bowler began a campaign last April to sponsor a family from the Karen refugee camps in Thailand.
News – With only $1,000 to go before reaching their fund-raising goal, the Manotick Refugee Sponsorship Pro-gram has had to change tactics in the face of a bureaucratic backlog.
The committee has been fundraising since last year to raise $35,000 for a family of six living in a refugee camp along the Thai-Myanmar bor-der in Southeast Asia.
But thanks to a backlog, the family will not get its vi-sas to come to Canada in time for Christmas as originally planned. They will now have to wait until at least June 2017, according to Joan Bowler, a St. James Church member who has been instrumental in the sponsorship process.
“It’s so disappointing for the family,” she said. “They’ve waited 18 years for someone to sponsor them.”
But Bowler said the closed door on the Karen family’s ar-rival has opened a window of opportunity to help a Syrian or Iraqi family in the mean-time.
The group plans to sponsor a family of ‘blended visa of-
fi ce refugees,’ who would ar-rive about three months after they fi le their application. The government would cover their fi rst six months in the country, including health care and in-come support.
After that, the family would rely on the Manotick group to keep them afl oat until they can fi nd jobs and settle into the country.
“We will pay the second six months, the start-up costs, and provide social and emo-tional support,” Bowler said. “By the time the Karen fam-ily arrives, the BVOR family will be well settled in Canada, and we will have replaced the money spent from the Karen refugee fund.”
Bowler expects the interim refugee family would only re-quire about half of the funds, because the group would only be supporting them for six months instead of a full year.
Also, the family will likely be smaller than the expected Karen family.
Bowler said the committee decided to sponsor an Iraqi or Syrian family because they live with daily danger.
“They seem to be the most desperate at the moment, and it sounds like the government is looking for sponsors for those two groups,” she said.
Bowler thanked everyone across the city who has con-tributed to the sponsorship effort to date, through mon-etary, volunteer, technical and moral support.
“There are lots of people who have been really gener-ous, and not just through our church,” she added.
Bowler said the group is counting on Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre to help fast-track the sponsored Kar-en family so they can arrive in Canada as soon as possible.

National Team spotNational Team spotDavid Chung is ready to take the next step in an already im-pressive and fl ourishing soccer career, and for the U14-aged Ottawa South United Force player, that means trying to land a spot with Canada’s under-15 national team program. The OSU standout is in Toronto for a June 1-6 national camp as the U15 men’s side readies for competi-tion in September.
“We have all the best young soc-cer players in the country com-ing out and really showing what they got,” reports Chung. “To be in that group, it is really a good feeling.”
Chung, who began playing soc-cer at age 3 and says he fell in love with the sport instantly, previously represented Canada in the 2012 Danone Nations Cup,
a 40-country event that took him to Poland. Most recently, the midfi elder/striker showcased his skills for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer during a one-week visit along with OSU Club Head Coach Paul Harris.
“That was a big highlight for me,” signals Chung, who carries hopes of playing professionally in Europe in the future. “Just to be there and around those players, it was such a big deal for me. It was amazing.”
During their stint in Vancouver, the OSU pair met up with Vana Markarian, a member of Ottawa’s fi rst Ontario Youth Soccer League-champion team last summer who joined the Whitecaps youth academy earlier this year. “This isn’t a fl uke,” Harris highlights. “(Chung) isn’t the fi rst player from our club to have a chance like this.”
Other players from the OSU Force Academy who have competed for their country in the past year include Kris Twardek (U17 Czech Republic), Vana Markarian (U17 Canada) and Zoom Langwa (U16 Canada).
Those trailblazers have set the stage for numerous talented OSU prospects such as Chung to move on to higher levels of play, Harris notes. Combined with one of the country’s best training atmo-spheres for young players to reach their soccer dreams at OSU, Chung’s work ethic has been key to building his bright future in the game, details the former Everton FC academy coach.
“We as a group have such high hopes for David, and many others within our club,” Harris indicates. “He has really excelled and he has just taken everything we have given him and hasn’t looked back.”
A member of the Force’s undefeated U14 OYSL entry, Chung concurs that OSU has brought out the best in him. “It is such a good club and I am so happy to be part of it,” states the Goulbourn Middle School student. “They are so organized, everyone is so great and helpful and I can’t say enough good things on how the coaches have helped me.”
Chung’s focus for the camp is on impressing another set of coaches and earning a spot on Team Canada. “I like my chances,” he says, acknowledging nonetheless that there are many other tal-ented players who also crave a spot on the team. “I’m not nervous because I know what I am capable of. I am just going to go out and show what I’ve got.” President Bill Michalopulos added that “David is the latest OSU player to show the aptitude and determination to have an opportunity at the next level. As a club, our primary goal is to provide for and facilitate these unique opportunities to deserving OSU players and to also deliver the proper technical environment to get the best out of our players. Continuous successes in OSU players ob-taining these type of opportunities indicate that the OSU Force Academy is on the right track in leading player development in Ottawa and the Province of Ontario.
News – A clean car for dad, and a spot at the table for a young Chris-tian: this is the ultimate Father’s Day gift, according to the FAITH youth group at St. James the Apostle Angli-can Church in Manotick.
The group will host a car wash at Jack May Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership on Saturday, June 14 to fundraise for an upcoming Christian retreat in Kamloops, BC – but they’re not raising money for themselves.
The group had been fundraising to send 13 local parishioners to CLAY (Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth) Gathering, which is held every sec-ond year in a different Canadian city. The teens had hoped to raise just over $1,700 to offset their travel costs, which are about $1,245 per person.
But when the group realized they had already raised more than $2,200 with one more fundraising event to go, they didn’t stop there.
The students decided to use their extra $400 to support other young Canadians who can’t afford to attend the retreat, and to host the car wash in their honour.
“I am always proud of the youth but I am particularly proud of them for this,” said Donna Rourke, who is responsible for youth ministry in the church.
As an added bonus, the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa has offered to match their car wash proceeds, up to $500.
“The CLAY organizers were just
blown away,” Rourke said. The car wash will be held at the
Jack May dealership at 3788 Prince of Wales Dr. between 9 a.m. and 1:30 on Saturday, June 14.

STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER
It’s official – summer is in full swing. And while some might assume that the return of warm weather simply means more barbecues, bike rides, and beaches, it’s important to remember the safety precautions that go along with all those fun summer activities.
HOME ALONEThe Child and Family Services Act does not identify an age when a child can be left alone, or an age at which a child can supervise or babysit other children. The Act recognizes that age alone is not a sufficient safeguard for the supervision of children. A person who has charge of a child less than 16 years of age cannot leave the child without making provision for his/her care or supervision that is reasonable under the circumstances.
WATER SAFETYThere is nothing quite as refreshing as a dip in the pool – or lake – on a scorching hot day. However, there are heightened safety precautions to take when it comes to children around any body of water. Always keep children within arms’ reach, in and around the water. Make sure they wear lifejackets or person flotation devices in and around the water. Most importantly, never leave a child alone, whether it’s in a swimming pool, lake, river, or bathtub. Speaking of tubs, children under the age of five should never use a hot tub – not even with an adult. Hot tubs are far too hot for young children, may contain large amounts of bacteria, and the drain in the hot tub can be a hazard to small kids.
CAR SAFETYDid you know that your car’s interior temperature can reach as high as 93 degrees Celsius in as little as 10 minutes? It comes as no surprise, then, that you should never leave a child – or pet – in your car, even with the windows partly rolled down. Children are especially at risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke because their bodies cannot regulate temperature as well as an adult’s.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the safety of a child, please contact the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa immediately.

News - The city wants input on what the municipal government and citizens can do to protect and preserve its water.
Ideas for promoting understanding about the health of Ottawa’s rivers, lakes and streams will be the theme of a “water roundtable,” to be held at city hall on Saturday, June 14.
Anyone interested in participating must go to their city councillor for details. Questions about the event can be addressed to [email protected].
The roundtable is working towards a water environment strategy, which was recommended as part of the city’s Ottawa River Action plan.
Environment committee chairwom-an Maria McRae, councillor for River Ward, has touted the roundtable event as a follow-up to the city’s recent ap-proval of a strategy for greenhouse gases.
Young people were asked to par-ticipate by designing a poster in the theme “water is life.” Each elementa-ry school in Ottawa could submit one poster design, which can be drafted by an individual student or a group of pu-pils from grades 3, 4 and 5.
The posters will be displayed at city hall and during the water roundtable on June 14.

News- When the South Nepean Muslim Community was unable to get an occupancy permit, for their partly complete new mosque, the Barrhaven United Church council re-turned a favour of friendship, offer-ing to host the group at their church hall for the duration of Ramadan.
“Zijad made the initial move to be friends,” said Reverend Mag-gie Melansom, at Barrhaven United Church, said of the Imam Zijad Del-ic.
“He noticed we had a food cup-board and offered for extra hands from his community to help.”
Ramadan starts on June 28 and is one of the most widespread and sacred 30 days in the Islamic year. Participants abstain from eating food during daylight hours in hopes of separating the physical world from the spiritual. They bring closure to the month with a huge celebratory feast of gratefulness, called Eid al-Fitr or the feast of breaking fast, on July 28.
Community members of the Mus-lim faith have had to arrange alterna-tive spaces to conduct their services and prayers until construction is completed on a local mosque, being erected at 3020 Woodroffe Ave.
Its projected completion date is not until late October, early Novem-ber 2014.
One of the well-known temporary prayer sites is located at a city of Ot-tawa facility, a schoolhouse on the corner of Jockvale and Strandherd Roads.
“We’re all people of faith and it’s when we come together that great things happen,” said Melansom. “It just makes sense to help.”
The new mosque and community centre is expected to have prayer space to accommodate 750 people, a community hall, a recreational sports facility, libraries and classrooms.
In light of the circumstances, the Muslim community partnered with Barrhaven United Church to conduct a three-part educational series called Islam 101.
“It has introduced an opportu-nity for mutual communities to get a chance to know each other,” said Melansom.
Members of surrounding clergies and the community gathered at the Barrhaven United Church to learn about Islam from guest host Imam Zijad Delic on May 21.
Topics discussed included statis-tics of growing Muslim populations in the Ottawa region, marriage, treat-ment of elders and women’s rights.
“Zijad is so well-versed, and this was very informative,” said Brenda Whyte, a curious agnostic commu-nity member.
The event provided a welcoming evening for 70 public supporters to openly engage and ask questions about the Muslim faith and Islamic traditions. As Delic told stories to illustrate his points he referenced his personal experiences and verses from the Qur’an.

The traffi c issues putting kids at risk at Rob-ert E. Wilson Public School on McArthur Avenue are common across the city.
The problem deserves a real solution and parents should support changes to make kids safer.
R.E. Wilson is located on a road where drivers are unlikely to slow down to the speed limit. The children attending the school are in kindergarten to Grade 6; not a good mix with fast cars.
On top of that risk, parents try to get their cars in and out of the parking lot before the bell rings and after school. Many may be in a rush to get to work each morning.
The school’s principal calls the situation danger-ous and says there are often near misses. Parents have been asked to drop off kids along the road, right onto paths that link to the school, but many still choose to head into and out of the parking lot.
The parent council would like to see a permanent solution: closing the parking lot. Some parents have reportedly responded with anger when it’s suggested the lot could be closed.
The school has done just about everything pos-sible to reduce the risk of a serious injury or death, including efforts to get more kids to walk or ride bikes to school.
A crosswalk has been added at the corner of McArthur Road and Brant Street, the speed limit is marked at 40 kilometres per hour during school hours and a loading zone – perfect for dropping off or picking up kids – has been established.
A recent police blitz resulted in 40 tickets being handed out, but the deterrent value of a crackdown is – as expected – fl eeting. It’s also expensive to have offi cers staking out a school zone over and over again.
Clearly the parking lot should be closed if that’s the greatest risk to kids.
It’s time for the city to step in and install traffi c calming measures. They don’t have to be expensive. Narrowed traffi c lanes can help, and also have the advantage of making the road crossing shorter for pedestrians.
The area sounds like a perfect spot to join a pilot project now underway in a few areas of the city that has seen fl exible posts installed down a road’s centreline with the speed limit marked on them. This visually narrows the road and can result in lower speeds.
If there’s ever a place that deserves added atten-tion, it’s a school zone. No kid should be hurt or killed because they’re heading to or from school.
OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community
Even in the last week of the Ontario election campaign, it was hard to fi nd campaign signs on people’s lawns. True, there was no shortage of them
on public property. But if you walked along neighbourhood streets and looked for them in front of people’s houses, no go.
You could walk an entire city block without seeing a lawn that had a sign on it. Fewer people than usual felt committed enough about a candidate or a party to allow a sign on their lawn.
That could mean a lot of things, the most im-portant of which was that the election was not connecting with people. Why would that be?
There will be no shortage of blame to spread around. The parties and their leaders will get some of it, for failing to excite the people. The people will get some blame too, for being too busy with trivial matters to care about who governs them.
And then there are the media, always avail-able when blame is being shared around. The news media accentuated the negative, played up insignifi cant controversy and gave insuf-fi cient time and space to more serious policy matters.
You can fi nd something to agree with all of these explanations, but there are other things to
consider, such as the way election campaigns have been changing in recent years.
This one was a good example. The parties no longer campaign the way they once did. They now focus almost entirely on media, old and new, and the effect may be to make individuals feel less involved in campaigns.
There was more door-knocking in previous campaigns. The odds were that at some point, one or more candidates would come to your door, often accompanied by some of your neighbours. That would help to personalize the campaign for you.
You would also see your neighbours at the all-candidates debate at a school or church hall near you. After listening to the candidates and perhaps asking a question or two, you would talk with your friends and neighbours about
what you’d heard.Whichever candidate you supported, you
had a sense that the election touched your neighbourhood in some way. And you might put out a sign.
Today’s parties don’t seem to care about that. In today’s style of campaigning, there is heavy reliance on television advertising, which involves the individual voter not at all, other than by changing the channel. More recently, there is an increasing emphasis on the Internet and social media. There is Internet advertising and an endless barrage of tweets. Your com-puter replaces your doorstep.
While this means that, theoretically, mes-sages from the parties can reach more people than ever before, the overall effect is to make them less personally involved. They have less personal contact with candidates; they see lots of them, but only as images on a screen.
At the same time that electronic contact with voters has expanded, face-to-face contact has diminished. You have probably noticed news articles during the campaign about the decreas-ing number of all-candidates meetings. This has been interpreted as part of a political strat-egy to keep tight control on the message and the candidates, to avoid at all costs unscripted encounters with voters and journalists.
The idea is to minimize risk, to avoid situ-ations where candidates have to think on their feet, perhaps make a mistake or show that they don’t know all the answers. Political junkies may fi nd this risk-free campaign interesting to watch, but for most of us these changes in cam-paign style have created far too much distance between us and the people we elect.
The new breed of political strategist doesn’t seem concerned by this. The only goal is winning and if winning can be done without communicating, so much the better.
But if it’s working for the parties, it’s not working for the people. The lawns tell the story.

Fathers to tackle ancient profession at Watson’s MillEmma [email protected]
News – Science; history; destruction: what better Fa-ther’s Day gift for Dad than a chance to become a grist mill-er for the day?
Watson’s Mill will lead its fi rst-ever milling workshop on Sunday, June 15 to teach dads (and any other mechanical nerds) how to make the per-fect stone-ground fl our.
“This is a good hands-on experience,” said Watson’s Mill programmer Cam True-man. “Fathers who are me-chanically inclined will fi nd it very interesting. It’s not just the history of the mill, there’s a science to it.”
Milling the perfect fl our re-quires full attention to all fi ve senses, Trueman said – and a commitment to quality that’s perhaps missing from modern industries.
“It’s not just pushing a but-ton and everything is taken care of,” Trueman said. “You have to listen to the mill, look at the mill stones and the grain
going in; you have to feel the fl our with your hands. We taste the fl our to see if we like it, and you can smell when the grain starts to burn. You don’t walk away; you have to con-stantly monitor the grain.”
Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. the group will learn about the history of Watson’s Mill, in-spect the equipment and then start feeding the grain into the hopper to start the milling pro-cess.
Afterwards, the new mill-ers will head to the Mill Tav-
ern for a tipple of a different grain.
“We’ll enjoy a beer to cel-ebrate our accomplishments,” Trueman said.
Tickets are $35 each. The price includes all materials and refreshments.
Participants can take home what they mill.
To register for the event – or to get Dad on the list – call 613-692-6455 or email [email protected].
The mill is located at 5525 Mill St. in Manotick.

(future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road);
Notice of Completion of Environmental Study Report
The Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the Cambrian Road Widening Environmental Assessment (future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road) has been completed and has been placed on record June 12, 2014 for a 30-day public review period.
In March 2013, the City of Ottawa initiated the Environmental Assessment for the proposed widening of Cambrian Road between the future Re-Aligned Greenbank Road and Jockvale Road. This study has been completed in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, 2011, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Both the Barrhaven South Community Design Plan, (approved by Council in June 2006) and the City of Ottawa Transportation Master Plan (2013) identifies the requirement for widening of Cambrian Road from two to four lanes to accommodate future growth in the community.
Copies of the Environmental Study Report are available for review at the following locations:
During the public review period, interested persons are encouraged to read the ESR and provide comments. Please direct written comments to:
If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order). The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment during the 30 day review period and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the City of Ottawa. If there are no requests received by July 14, 2014, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Municipal Class EA, and the project will proceed, provided that funding is available, to design and construction as presented in the ESR.

News – John said father’s decision, made at the age of 81, was a surprise at fi rst.
He said his father – a farm-er from a small northern On-tario town – probably didn’t have much more than a Grade 9 education.
“It seemed odd that he’d
want to donate his body to sci-ence,” John said. “But I real-ized it was just another way for him to give back.”
Hartley Houston decided to donate his body to the Faculty
of Medicine at the University of Ottawa while his grand-daughter was studying to be a physiotherapist.
“He said, ‘Someone do-nated their body so my grand-daughter could be a physio-therapist,’” his son John said during a memorial service hosted by the university at the Pinecrest Cemetery on June 3.
“ ‘Someone did it for her; I have to do it for someone else.’”
John said his father lived a modest lifestyle, but never failed to help out a neighbour.
He was a member of the Li-ons Club, a volunteer with the Canadian National Institute
for the Blind and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Cathy Delany, whose par-ents donated their bodies 27 years apart, said it took her 20 years to attend the annual memorial hosted by the uni-versity.
Her mother, who died from cancer in 1974, was the fi rst.
“Mom’s always been able to fi nd ways to help others” Delany said.
“Leave it to her to fi nd a way to help after death.”
Her ashes are buried at the Pinecrest Cemetery.
Delany’s father, Bill, fol-lowed suit in 2007 – though his ashes were scattered on a ski slope, sailable water and in
Vancouver’s English Bay. “I am honoured to be part
of this ceremony,” Delany said to the students.
“My parent’s gift was for you. You are part of their leg-acy.”
Elise Azzi, a second-year medical student at the univer-sity said she was at a loss to express her thanks to the fam-ily members of those who had donated their bodies.
“They humanize our educa-tion experience and exemplify bravery, altruism and selfl ess-ness,” she said.
As part of the ceremony, medical students read off the name of each donor since 1969.

2014 Zoning Review – Phase 2Notice of Public Information Sessions
Why? In 2013 City Council approved new Offi cial Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. In some review areas, changes to existing Secondary Plans will also be made to permit the zoning updates to proceed.
How will this affect me?Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. It regulates things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy.
Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas.

Furniture shopping will never be the same. Often considered a confusing and overwhelming predicament by many would-be buyers, The Dufresne Group has revolutionized the furniture and appliance buying experience.
Gone are the endless lines of merchandise and fast talking sales people focused more on commissions than customer satisfaction.
Instead, the new Dufresne Home Furnishings store at 290 West Hunt Club Road is a state-of-the-art journey of discovery into what will enhance and improve your life and style.
“Our goal is to ensure our guests find the furniture, mattresses and appliances that work best for them and make their life simpler,” said Troy Davis, President TDG. “It’s about finding that perfect fit for their unique life and style, all within their budget.”
Walking into the fresh, bright store is in itself an experience. You enter Inspiration Way, and are greeted by friendly staff who assist you with your own personal journey of discovery to reveal what furnishings and accessories best suit your needs.
“With this new store, we went back to the drawing board,” said Davis. “We explored every corner of the shopping journey and asked ourselves how we could make the experience easier, less stressful, and ultimately, fun.”
The result was “collections merchandising” rather than traditional category arrangement.
The new location, carefully crafted into 23,000 square feet of showroom, features three main furniture style collections: Current Classic, Cozy Casual and Modern Chic. A couple minutes at a conveniently located computer screen allows the shopper to discover their own style and then simply stroll to that section of the well-laid out store. There they will find a myriad of choices awaiting as the My Custom concept allows buyers to match colours, fabrics, finishes, legs and much more.
“To find that perfect fit, Dufresne combines education, expertise and science into the guest experience—one that could be better described as a journey,” said Davis. “Our sales professionals take the time to get to know each guest and their specific style preferences, room situation and lifestyle needs.”
First, a customer selects their “fit”, starting with the largest piece for the room, such as a sofa or dining set. Then personal creativity takes over as you can modify almost every aspect of any piece of furniture. Choose a frame and then customize it with arms from Creighton, Leeds, Marymount, Meadowridge and Ottawa.
Finally, you can “refine your look” by selecting the colour and fabric that fit your décor.
“Extensive custom order options and complete room solution packages with unique vertical merchandising help ensure a complete offering to the guest,” said Davis.
Find your ultimate life and style by simply taking the journey. Cozy Casual is a relaxed collection, combining comfortable, over-sized pieces with warm fabrics and distressed leathers for a vintage look. Modern Chic features simple, clean lines matched with bold accents for an urban expression. Current Classics creates timeless elegance with antique-inspired designs and a sophisticated attention to detail.
“You dream, we listen, and together we discover,” said Davis.
And when it comes to dreaming, Davis says Dufresne has also revolutionized the art of sleeping well.
“Walk the journey and take five minutes to find the best sleep of your life,” says Davis.
The first step is to analyze how you sleep. With the aid of high-tech science, the staff at Dufresne reveal what you need to sleep better. Then you sample the mattresses and pillows that suit your profile.
“This takes the guess work out of mattress
shopping. Sometimes it is hard for a person to articulate what they want or need in a mattress but the journey helps you find exactly what you are looking for. It’s not just about product and price; our focus is on providing a sleep solution that lays the foundation for a healthier life.”
The same can be said for appliances. The only difference is that the journey starts with a functional assessment to determine what type of machine best suits the application. With all the top brands available, such as Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool and Maytag, the Dufresne team can easily match you to the appliance that fits best.
Ottawa Dufresne franchise owner Andre Desrochers is proud of the new location, and thanked his staff and contractors for their dedication and long hours to bring the project to fruition.
“We are very excited to be in this new location with such an amazing store,” said Desrochers. “A lot of effort went into making this a reality and now we are ready to launch a whole new way to buy furniture. Our visual presentation team did an amazing job and I am proud of the efforts of all my staff.”
This is the second Dufresne location in Ottawa. The existing Gloucester location at 1901 Cyrville Road has also recently been renovated to match the new style of the Hunt Club store. Both stores are open Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
You can find out more about the Dufresne “collections” buying experience online at www.dufresne.ca.

Arts – The colourful work from four local artists will have to compete with the beauty of Mary Hardwick’s vibrant gardens when she hosts the fi fth annual Collage and Colour art show in the heart of Manotick.
Beginning with a vernis-sage on Friday, June 13, the show will continue between noon and 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15.
From Hardwick, guests can expect a mix of garden-inspired acrylics as well as a technique called encaustics. This uses beeswax, resin and pigment placed in layers to create a highly textured paint-ing, and she said most of her work usually has “something stuck on it” – hence her refer-ence to collage.
Nancy Riggs will join the show for the third time, al-though this year she will only showcase her work in clay, which tends to offer highly textured, organic pieces full of whimsy and personality.
Jess Weatherhead’s work is only slightly more conser-vative, using vibrant oils to capture cityscapes and her daily life on Roots and Shoots Farm.
This year’s newcomer is Lauren Mercer-Smail, who will showcase a variety of ink and watercolour drawings completed during her travels this year.
“The point is we each bring a different form of art,” said Hardwick. “We bring a mix of backgrounds and training but we also are linked in that we all use colour quite enthusiastically.”Hardwick said the three-day show is about more than just art.
“It’s a home environment in a garden,” she said, adding
that she and her husband have been tending to their Tighe Street garden for the past 40 years. “The art is part of it, the gardens are part of it, and it brings people right to the heart of the village.”
For visitors, it’s a chance to have a drink, enjoy the art and grounds and possibly take home a favourite piece.
For the artists, it can be ev-erything.
“Each year I invite artists to join me, artists who live in the area and who otherwise don’t have a place to show their work,” Hardwick said. “To have an audience, to gauge your work in the community, to have it seen; it’s a way of having a public critique.”
As a thank you, all of the artists contribute to a charity of their choice after the show. Hardwick said she will donate to Hospice Care Ottawa.
The show promises sangria and champagne in the gardens as well as a harp performance from local musician Mary Muckle on Sunday afternoon.
The show will be held at 1118 Tighe St. in Manotick.

Switching churches a serious topic for AudreyBeing Lutheran is no
fun,” Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning.
Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. “Why can’t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds? Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics
this summer, and we Luther-ans have yet to have even one.” Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I
thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white pattern.
Then she took the argu-ment even further by suggest-ing she saw no reason why she couldn’t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran.
Well, that tore it. Mother sat Audrey down
at one end of the table, just by pointing her fi nger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end.
Nothing bothered Mother more than to have one of us argue about going to church.
Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a divided household, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just as important as doing the washing on Monday’s and having our weekly bath on
Saturday night. There were no questions
asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away.
Mother told Audrey you didn’t go to church to have fun. You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message.
I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all.
I had no idea what it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and as well as declaring Mother as “not being of the best farm material she had ever seen,” she also said Mother created what was called a divided household for her brother -- my father.
So I dared to ask, what was a divided household? Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, “It means Father is a Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholic.”
Well, that was all news to me. The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and
not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew. How could Mother be a Catholic and not go to church every Sunday?
Now, she did have a rosa-ry, and she wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did see her cross herself, but that’s as far as it went.
Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour.
I told Audrey I didn’t want to go to one church and have her go to another.
I told her about the time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride, and how everyone said she sang like a bird, and I just knew she would be asked to sing again someday.
I couldn’t tell by looking at Audrey, sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran.
I had to think of something that would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasn’t a
good idea. Then it hit me right out
of the blue. I hear Shirley’s brother from the Barr Line is going to join the Lutheran Church.
Remember how he chose your cake at the cake auction at our church? Cost him a whole quarter too. He sure had the sweets on you.”
I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirley’s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, so be it.
I had my fi ngers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie.
Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm.
I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirley’s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church.
Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS
By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates
Many people who have been faithfully
putting away funds regularly into registered
retirement savings plans are only
peripherally aware of the large embedded
tax liability within these funds. For those
holding such plans, the general idea is
to draw on these funds later in life (you
must begin doing so in the year following
the year in which you turn 71) when your
taxation rate may be lower. When the funds
come out of the plan, they are considered
income and taxed accordingly. Similarly
on death, unless rolled over to a qualifi ed
benefi ciary (usually a spouse), the funds
are de-registered all at once, considered
income and consequently taxed heavily.
Did you know that you can designate
a charitable organization as the direct
benefi ciary of a part or all of your retirement
funds? This represents a unique opportunity
for some donors who are planning a legacy
gift as part of their estate plan. When
CHEO is designated as a direct benefi ciary
of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on
the death of the plan holder, your estate
can be issued a charitable tax receipt for
the full amount of the designated funds
which will generally offset the entire tax
liability embedded in the designated
funds. It is relatively straightforward to
make this kind of gift. You simply need
to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation -
charitable registration number 11885 2474
RR0001) as the benefi ciary on the plan
documentation with the fi nancial institution
that holds your retirement account. Before
moving forward with such a gift, you
need to consider this technique in the
broader context of your overall fi nancial
and tax situation, so it is advisable to get
professional advice from either your own
fi nancial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy
Advisory Committee members.
If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct benefi ciary of a part or all of your retirement funds?
Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

The Kelowna resident was a Canadian darling at this year’s winter Olympics in Russia after she and team-mate Marielle Thompson took the top two podium spots in women’s ski-cross.
“I felt so happy that all the hard work had been validat-ed,” she told the school.
“To stand on the podium is one thing, but to stand there beside your friend and team-mate is unbelievable.”
Whereas Serwa and Spooner said they only started thinking about competing in the Olympics when they were teenagers, Moscovitch had quite a different story.
He had been dreaming of Olympic glory since he was
in elementary school, like his audience, he said.
And although he tried to give Harry Potter’s magic the credit for his ability to land complicated jumps and tricks, in reality it’s the result of de-cades of practice.
“It’s just a medal, but it represents so many years of hard work and sacrifi ce,” he said.
All three athletes encour-aged the students to pursue their goals, no matter what they are.
Spooner, especially, spoke of the power of determina-tion.
“(The Canadian women’s hockey team) wasn’t the fa-vourite to win this year; we had a lost a lot of games,” she told the crowd.
“One of our biggest les-sons this year was to just keep going, even if you’re down. Never give up, because there’s always a way. I think we proved that with this gold medal.”
Before they left, the Olym-pians presented the school with a bag of sports balls as well as a signed wall calendar from the opening ceremonies.
St. Mary students share in the Olympic gloryContinued from the front

Lifestyle - Now this is truly Canadian comfort food done on the barbecue. Jazz it up even more with sprinkled cooked bacon, crumbled cooked sau-sage, hot jalapeño peppers or caramelized onion or create a poutine bar and serve small bowls of each topping.
Preparation time: 10 min-utes. Cooking time: 10 min-utes. Grilling time: 10 min-utes. Serves four to six.
INGREDIENTS
• 5 unpeeled white potatoes, each cut into eight wedges (about 2 cm/3/4-inch) thick• 1 can (284 mL) beef gravy • 25 ml (2 tbsp) red wine (optional) • 1 sprig fresh rosemary• 10 ml (2 tsp) Worcestershire sauce• 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt• Black pepper• 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) cheese curds (about 200 g)• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
PREPARATION
In a large pot of lightly salted water, cover and bring potatoes to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until they’re just barely fork-tender, about fi ve minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the gra-vy, wine (if you’re using it), rosemary and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for two min-utes to blend the fl avours. Re-move the pan from the heat, discard the rosemary and keep warm.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. In a medium bowl, stir together the potatoes and oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Place potatoes on a greased rectangular grill top-per or in fl at grill basket in single layer.
Place on a covered grill over medium-high heat for six to nine minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally. Place the potatoes in a 20-centimetre (eight-inch) round or square disposable foil con-
tainer. Reduce the heat to low.
Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese curds and return them to the grill to cook, covered, until the cheese is slightly melted -- about three minutes. Serve on individual plates and drizzle each with two to three (25 to 45 mL) of gravy or serve in a container drizzled with most of the gravy, leaving some for those who like lots. Sprinkle with green onion.

Summer at the OHSNow that summer has finally arrived,
things will be getting very lively here at the Ottawa Humane Society. Both great things and tremendous challenges are a part of the season.
As soon as the weather gets warm, the shelter begins to fill with stray animals and those surrendered by their owners. In fact, OHS intake rises from a dozen or so a day, to up to 50 animals some days, all of whom have nowhere else to go. It is a sad fact that as summer holiday time approaches in June, the number of animals surrendered peaks, often as a result of pets not being a
part of their owner’s summer plans. Along with challenge of so many
animals needing care in the OHS shelter, far too many dogs are rescued from hot cars. Even before temperatures climb into the 30s, temperatures inside parked cars, even on moderate days, can soar to 40 degrees and beyond. As many as two dozen dogs every week will need to be rescued from these vehicular ovens this summer.
Summer also becomes lively in a good way. A favourite addition is the very popular summer camps that begin at the end of the school year. Almost
400 children attended OHS camps last summer. Not only do they bring life to the OHS, but they leave with knowledge and attitudes that will change the future for Ottawa’s animals. In addition to young summer campers, the OHS also reached 2,444 through other camps, children’s tours and birthday parties and an astounding 6,900 through school and summer humane education programs. Their learning experiences will result in permanent change. They won’t leave their pets in hot cars, and they won’t surrender their pet to go on holidays.
Meet Betsy, an affectionate and active German shepherd/boxer mix looking for her forever home.
Betsy would love to live with a family that enjoys exercise as much as she does! Betsy’s favourite game is playing fetch – she will be well-matched in a home with older or dog-savvy kids who can throw around the ball with her, take her on walks and enjoy her playful personality!
Betsy is a very social gal and likes the company of other dogs but would do best with other four-legged friends who will respect her space. She would benefit from an experienced owner who can help her be the best pooch possible with obedience training.
For more information on Petra and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

News - The city launched a $4.6 million lawsuit against the Airport Parkway footbridge designer and has disciplined staff over the botched project.
The lawsuit fi led against WSP Canada Inc., which was known as Genivar when the city hired the company to de-sign a gateway pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting the
South Keys community to Greenboro shopping centre and Transitway station in 2010.
Major issues with the de-sign of the bridge forced the city to stop construction and hire another fi rm, Delcan, to revise the plans and take over construction.
Now, the bridge that was originally slated for comple-tion in 2012 is expected to be done by the end of this year.
During a fi nance and eco-
nomic development committee meeting on June 3, councillors received an update on the city’s actions following a damning independent report on the proj-ect from March that slammed the bridge designer and city staff.
The report from SEG Man-agement Consultants, Inc. de-tailed staff communication is-sues and faulty procedures that contributed to the problems plaguing the project.
Watson confi rmed on June 3 that no city staff had lost their jobs over the fi asco.
However, disciplinary let-ters had been appended to staff fi les and there was at least one suspension without pay, al-though the mayor wouldn’t say how many staffers has been suspended, nor their seniority or the duration of the suspen-sion.
City manager Kent Kirkpat-rick declined to go into detail about what disciplinary action he doled out.
“I have applied what is, in my opinion, the right level of discipline to the staff that were involved in the project,” he said after the meeting.
Even councillors were left in the dark about the details of
the disciplinary action, despite the fi nance and economic com-mittee going into a private “in camera” session to discuss per-sonnel matters.
Information from the SEG report and a separate city au-ditor general report on proce-dural issues have prompted the city to make changes to its protocols for communication
on infrastructure projects and when managers should get in-volved, Kirkpatrick said.
That “culture change” in the department includes more than 30 different actions that will all be implemented by 2015, he said.
“I am confi dent by the end of this year the staff in (infra-structure services) will be well focused on the kind of over-sight that’s required in manag-ing consultants and contrac-tors, specifi cally with regards to risk identifi cation, budget and schedule,” he said.
Kirkpatrick and Watson agreed that while some of the blame for the project going off the rails lies with city staff, they focused the brunt of the blame on the bridge’s design – hence, the lawsuit.
“The primary responsibility for what has happened and has been the failure of this project to date is the responsibility of the design engineers,” Kirkpat-rick said.
Although the dollar value of the lawsuit isn’t as large as some of the city’s past legal ac-tions, Kirkpatrick said seeking $4.6 million is a “signifi cant lawsuit” given the small size of the project.
The money being sought would cover the cost over-runs of having to redesign and rebuild components of the bridge, which originally had a $6.8-million price tag when the project was launched in 2010.
The city’s $4.6-million lawsuit adds to the mess of litigation already underway as a result of the bridge project, with contractors and subcon-tractors.
Watson said the issues with the pedestrian bridge have caused ongoing frustration but said they should be viewed in context.
“We had over the course of the last several years literally hundreds of projects because of the infrastructure funds from the other levels of gov-ernment.
Well over 95 per cent of those projects arrived on time and on budget,” he said.
“The challenge with this project is it’s way off budget, has not been properly execut-ed, there are problems with everything from the cement to the design ... and it’s a very high-profi le project.
“People see it going back and forth from the south end and the airport.”

The city has launched a $4.6-million lawsuit against the company that supplied a faulty design for the over-due pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway.
News – Dr. Sharon Whiting mo-tions to a bank of computer monitors stationed in the hallway outside two hospital rooms at the Children’s Hos-pital of Eastern Ontario.
The specialized high-tech equip-ment and dedicated beds are features of the hospital’s brand new epilepsy monitoring unit that opened on May 12, which is already making a dif-ference in the lives of children and youth who either have epilepsy, or it’s suspected they may have the neu-rological disorder, which is charac-terized by seizures.
“The (four) patients that have been admitted (so far) were patients who either had a diagnosis of epilepsy and we wanted to confi rm where in the brain the seizures were coming from or we wanted to actually make sure that they had seizures,” said Whiting, an epileptologist – a neurologist with a sub-specialty in epilepsy – and head of the hospital’s neurology division.
“This has implications for all the patients in terms of their treatment and follow-up,” she said.
On average about 200 new epilep-tic patients are seen at CHEO each year. About 100 of them will come into the new unit for comprehensive testing and diagnosis, effectively doubling the number of pediatric pa-tients, and reducing wait times, said Whiting.
The unit is already booked until October, though the schedule can be shifted to accommodate more urgent cases, she said.
Once admitted to the unit, two pa-tients at a time can be monitored for an average of three days, from Mon-day to Friday.
This gives the unit’s medical team, which now includes two new dedicated technologists, more time to collect data on the patient’s brain function – especially during a seizure – in a safe and controlled environ-ment, said Whiting.
While some patients can still be assessed in the hospital’s outpatient electroencephalogram lab as before, they are only monitored for 30 min-utes to an hour between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Patients and their families of-ten have to come back several days in a row so that a seizure can be re-corded.
“That was not a very effi cient way. Parents had to take a lot of time off (from work). We may or may not capture the events.”
Before the creation of the dedi-cated unit, these patients could be admitted to the hospital for overnight monitoring, but patients requiring more urgent care who were admitted through the emergency department took precedence.
“To get those patients previously admitted would take months,” said Whiting.
To improve chances of recording a seizure, a patient’s medication dos-ages sometimes need to be tapered ahead of time.
“You can’t do that process un-
less you’re sure you’ve got a bed,” she said. “So ... it has helped us with length of time that patient has to stay and very good information that we’re able to get.”
The new unit also comes with two new dedicated electroencephalo-gram or EEG machines, with video and audio capabilities, allowing the team to constantly record a patient’s brain function over a longer period of time.
This allows the medical experts to make a more defi nitive diagnosis, and even rule out epilepsy altogether.
Before the new unit was created, the equipment suffered wear and tear from being transported to various units in the hospital.
“This way we’re in one location, we have a set number of trained staff, everything is very complete,” said Whiting, who also serves as a vice-dean at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine.
Precision means everything in her line of work.
The unit will allow doctors to more quickly determine if a patient is a candidate for surgery at the Hospi-tal for Sick Children in Toronto. The comprehensive data gathered by the CHEO team at the unit will cut down on waiting times for assessments at the Toronto hospital.
“Their waiting time could have
taken up to a year to get assessed,” Whiting said. “Now with our unit we’re able to give them all this data when we send them on, and they ana-lyze the data before they even see the patient.
“And then that means the whole process is quicker for everybody.”

Whiting is part of a 15-mem-ber task force launched last year by Ontario’s Ministry of Health to ex-amine how epilepsy care is delivered at district epilepsy centres, such as CHEO; regional epilepsy centres, where surgery is done; and the deliv-ery of co-ordinated and standardized care across these sites and with fam-ily doctors.
The team, comprised of epilep-tologists, nurses, technologists, se-nior administrators and representa-tives from the province’s Ministry of Heath, also examined the need for dedicated beds.
They also created standardized guidelines on how the monitoring units should operate, taking into ac-count safety aspects and the types of required medical personnel required.
“We realized there were many bar-riers and challenges,” Whiting said, adding that one hurdle for patients was the lack of dedicated monitoring
units, which meant long wait times and erratic care.
CHEO’s new monitoring-unit beds are two of 21 beds newly assigned for adult and pediatric patients with epilepsy or suspected epilepsy at hospitals in the University Health Network, and in London, Hamilton, Toronto and Ottawa.
Two weeks before CHEO’s unit opened, a similar two-bed unit for adults was opened at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus.
There is potential to expand CHEO’s monitoring unit, depending on the feedback that comes out of an ongoing evaluation process, Whiting said.

News – Local crowdfunding is only a click away with a new community-fi rst web plat-form.
Fuellocal.com is an exciting way for com-munity projects, community causes and entre-preneurs to raise money through a safe, secure online presence.
Crowdfunding is a method of collecting money from an online audience to fund a proj-ect, person or a cause. It’s the fastest growing sector of fundraising. Fuellocal.com is being marketed to local communities by Metroland Media.
“Fuellocal.com is a technology platform that enables local businesses, charities, schools, sports teams and other groups, to raise money from their own community and beyond,” said Terry Kukle, Metroland’s vice-president of business development.
“Until now, there’s been no effective plat-form for a community to get together to raise money for a local cause,” said Kukle. “Metro-land is all about building our communities. Pro-moting Fuellocal.com is one more way of stay-ing connected to the communities we serve.”
More than 40,000 people, groups, businesses and non-profi ts in 20 countries have raised more than $48,000,000 with FundRazr – the platform powering Fuellocal.com.
A fundraiser registers with Fuellocal.com and receives a web profi le to promote their cause. This profi le explains the fundraising goal and shows the progress of the fundraising efforts.
“We know Fuellocal.com opens the door online to reach a myriad of new fundraising sources a community fundraising team or an in-dividual might not otherwise be able to reach,” said Kukle.
Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a dynamic media company delivering vital business and community information to millions of readers across Ontario each week, with 116 newspa-pers, numerous websites, other specialty and monthly publications, consumer shows and dis-tribution operations.
