Scugog moving forward with Blackstock arena project process
DAN CEARNS The Standard
SCUGOG: The Township of Scugog is hoping to secure
funds through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure
Program (ICIP) for their new Blackstock arena and
community centre project.
At a special council meeting on Monday, November
4th, Carol Coleman, Scugog’s Director of Public Works,
Parks and Recreation, made a presentation to council
regarding an update on the project and information
about the grant opportunity.
Ms. Coleman told councillors the estimated cost to
maintain the arena in its current state, if council
decided not to replace it, is $4.65 million. “If we do
nothing, then the arena will close in the near future,”
Ms. Coleman said.
Through the process of working on this project, one of
the community partners the township has spoken to
was Mississaugas of Scugog Island Chief Kelly LaRocca.
“The Chief has supported this project. She would
really like to see programs for First Nations people as
part of this project, and she will be providing a letter of
support for the grant we are asking to submit,” Ms.
Coleman said.
Ms. Coleman explained what staff are proposing for
the project, including retaining “community hall,
kitchen and meeting rooms that are there now”, adding
“a new modern arena, single pad with NHL-size ice
with 200 to 300 seats”, a double gymnasium, a multi-
purpose space, an indoor walking and running track
and a recongured fairground.
One benet of this project, Ms. Coleman explained,
is it will “bring economic stimulus to Scugog in general,
but Blackstock area in specic.”
Ms. Coleman was also seeking council to authorize
the submission to the grant program that, if successful,
would fund up to 73.33 percent of the project costs.
“This is a great opportunity,” Ms. Coleman said.
The ICIP funding breakdown would see 40 percent of
the funding from the federal government and 33.33
percent from the provincial level.
Ms. Coleman noted full council and community
support is important as it will be a “highly competitive
grant program.”
YOUR GOOD NEWS NEWSPAPER
Ward 2 Councillor Janna Guido questioned if there is
a desire in the community for a larger rink in Blackstock
like the one proposed.
“The feedback I’ve heard is there is a desire to have a
full size ice rink there,” Ms. Coleman responded.
Councillor Guido added she would feel
“uncomfortable” supporting the grant application
without knowing the operating costs of the new facility.
Ms. Coleman stated council will likely see a proposed
design for the project early in 2020, and at that time
council could also see estimated operating costs.
“Is that too late for us to put our hands up and say we
can’t afford this?” Councillor Guido said.
CAO Paul Allore said the project “is feasible
nancially.”
Regional Councillor Wilma Wotten attempted to
dispel a rumour about the project’s popularity.
“Rumours have it that the community was not behind
it. I would certainly suggest that is a falsehood, and
much of the community is for it,” she said.

Uxbridge seeking grant for
new Aquatic Centre
DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
UXBRIDGE: Councillors made a splash
recently, announcing that they would be
pursuing government grants to assist
with funding a new aquatic facility.
At their meeting on Monday, October
28th, councillors voted in favour of a
grant application for the estimated $28.5
million project through the Investing in
Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP),
which provides funding through the
federal and provincial governments.
According to township staff, if the grant
application is successful, 40 percent of
the funding would come from the federal
level, or approximately $11.4 million,
and 33 percent or approximately $9.5
m i l l i o n f ro m t h e p ro v i n c e . T h e
remaining 27 percent — or about $7.7
million — would be funded by the
township.
“This is very exciting; we’ve been
waiting for a grant for a long time and this
is an even bigger grant than we thought
we’d be able to get,” said Amanda
Ferraro, director of community services
for the township.
As Ms. Ferraro explained, under the
proposal, the township portion would be
funded largely through development
charges totalling about $4.1 million.
There would also be a New Aquatic
Centre Levy to be included in the 2020
through 2023 budgets. Other identied
sources of money for the project would
be: fund raising, proceeds from the sale
of township land, and a proposed $1.8
million in debentures.
“We really thought this out and we
think it’s respectful to the taxpayers and
residents of Uxbridge and to council,”
Ferraro continued. “We really think this
is a good thing to move forward on. The
timeline to completion is 2027, so that’s a
very reasonable timeline and really
works well with our timelines in the
current facility and moving into a new
one.”
The facility has been in the works for
more than a decade, and would include a
six-lane, 25-metre pool, a therapy pool
and a multi-purpose space.
Councillors unanimously approved the
proposal, adding that, at this time, the
project can only proceed if the grant
application is successful.
“I think we have to be clear that in the
event the other two levels of government
don’t come through, this project doesn’t
get done until we get enough money to do
it ourselves,” said Councillor Bruce
Garrod, chair of the nance committee.
Province looking to give
restaurants and breweries dog
friendly option
Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Christine Elliott and MPP Peter Bethlenfalvy
answer questions from media during the announcement at Second Wedge
Brewery on Saturday, November 2nd.
DAN CEARNS The Standard
UXBRIDGE: Multiple provincial
dignitaries were at The Second Wedge
Brewing Company in Uxbridge on
Saturday, November 2nd, to announce
new proposed legislation to help
restaurants and breweries be pet
friendly.
“Ontario is proposing to permit
restaurants the option to allow dogs on
patios and in areas where low-risk foods
like pre-packaged foods, fresh fruit and
most snacks are sold alongside beer, wine
and spirits,” read a press release from the
Ministry of Health.
Earlier this year, Second Wedge was
told they could no longer allow dogs in
their establishment following an
anonymous complaint that was made to
Durham Region’s Health Department.
“Immediately I said to myself that this
did not make sense,” MPP Peter
Bethlenfalvy said, in regards to what he
thought when he was contacted by the
Second Wedge owners. “You sometimes
have regulations that don’t make sense,
and that’s why we jumped into action
right away. We talked to the community,
the community was very in favour of it,
and as it turns out many in Ontario are
very in favour of this change for
breweries and caterers who want to have
a pet friendly environment, while health
and safety is preserved, but allows
restaurants choice. It made a lot of
sense.”
If this proposed change passes, it will
come into effect as of January 1st, 2020.
“We’re taking a thoughtful and
targeted approach to eliminating
www.TheStandardNewspaper.ca
unnecessary regulations, and with the
new bill that we introduced this week,
Ontario’s regulations will be more
targeted, focused and supportive of small
businesses like Second Wedge across the
province,” Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario’s
Associate Minister for Small Business
and Red Tape Reduction, told those in
attendance.
Deputy Premier and Minister of
Health Christine Elliott also was in
attendance and spoke at the announ-
cement. “In other parts of the country,
like New Brunswick and British
Columbia, these rules are much more
relaxed, and it was time to do the same
here in Ontario,” she said. “Certain rules
create unnecessary barriers for
businesses to truly meet the needs of
their customers, and also limits choice
for consumers.”
MPP Bethlenfalvy spoke about his
thoughts on making this announcement
in Uxbridge. “I’m just thrilled that we
could help Rob [Garrard] and Joanne
[Richter] of Second Wedge,” he said.
“Not allowing pets [on] the patio and
where they have pre-packaged food
didn’t make much sense to me.”
He added his thoughts on a small
community like Uxbridge being the
necessary example to bring about
change. “Uxbridge is representative of
many communities in this great
province,” he said. “98 percent of jobs in
this province are created by small
businesses with 100 employees or less.
It’s the engine of this economy, so we
have to nd ways to be supportive, set the
conditions in place for small businesses,
such as Second Wedge, to prosper.”

Brent Herrington a cut above
the others
SCUGOG: Family was at the heart of the
2019 Red Carpet Awards Gala. The Meat
& Poultry Ontario (MPO) celebrated
family businesses that produce award-
winning, artisan meats for Ontarians and
we honoured the family of people that
make up our industry association and
their commitment to our organization.
The night concluded with the crowning
of Ontario’s Finest Butcher, in the sixth
year of this annual competition.
“This evening’s award celebration plays
an important role in bringing our
industry together where we pay tribute to
our members, recognizing their
innovation and excellence,” says Franco
Naccarato, executive director, Meat &
Poultry Ontario, in his opening remarks.
“Tonight is a time to celebrate our
accomplishments and to acknowledge
our champions.”
We honoured Karlovo, Farm Credit
Canada, Sheik Halal Farms, Webers
Food Group Limited, Longo Brothers
Fr u i t M a r k e t s , E d d y s t o n e M e a t
Products, Wagener’s Meat Products and
Agram Meats as they received their 10-
year membership plaque, followed by
Malabar Super Spice and Windcrest
Meat Products who were honoured for
25 years of loyal MPO membership.
Since the awards’ inception in 1995,
MPO has presented only 12 prestigious
Lifetime Member Awards to individuals
who have made outstanding
contributions to the industry. This year
we inducted Doris Valade, formerly of
Malabar Super Spice, into that respected
club.
Brent Herrington from Herrington’s
Quality Butchers in Port Perry took home
the title of Ontario’s Finest Butcher.
Facing off in the nal round that
afternoon on the trade show oor against
Doug Easterbrook, Townsend Butchers,
and Steve Toms, Fortinos, all nalists
received two chickens, a leg of lamb, and
a beef rib, to prepare several incredible-
looking display-ready items in the short
half hour they were given. The judge’s
scores combined with the attendee’s
votes determined it was Brent that would
carry the honour.
The Associate Member Recognition
Award (AMRA) is given to an associate
member company that, judged by the
membership, is deserving of recognition
for their contribution to the association
and to the industry. This year Reiser
Canada, Burlington, was honoured with
this distinction and accepting the award
on behalf of Reiser was Terry Rees.
Fifty-one awards were presented in the
2019 Ontario Finest Meat Competition™
crossing 16 categories with placing for
Silver, Gold, and Platinum in each. The
Ron Usborne Award of Excellence was
presented to Halenda’s Meats, Oshawa
for the most points accumulated in the
competition. The Diamond Award was
presented to Speducci Mercatto, Toronto
for producing the item with the top score
across all products, Wild Boar Prosciutto.
“The awards we gave out this evening are
not going to just any company, they are
going to family businesses. Family
businesses that sacrice every day to put
the highest quality and safest foods out
for Ontarians across the province,” says
Carol Goriup, president, MPO. “I am
proud to represent this group of
independents to give them a place of
belonging and to let them know that they
are not alone.”
About MPO Meat & Poultry Ontario is
the heart of Ontario’s meat industry. Our
members are independent businesses
proud to serve the communities they live
and work in. They can be found across
the province, involved in every stage of
the meat industry from harvesting to

sector employs 25% of Ontario’s food and
beverage processing industry — the
single largest manufacturing employer in
Ontario — and generates $8.8 billion of
the province’s $42 billion food and
beverage processing industry revenue.
Wow, look at what I
have been missing
Quite often, I pride myself in being rst
in acquiring things, such as a
blackber r y the week they were
launched, a VIC 20 computer, in 1980
and a reverberator on my 1965 Comet.
In some things however, I seem to be at
the end of the line, being the last
person in my family to own a colour
television and, being what I am sure to
be, the last person in Canada to have a
Costco membership. Well, that all
changed last week.
Visiting a craft show in Oshawa, I
came upon a booth where they were
selling Costco memberships,
something I have always maintained I
have no need for. The sales person was
good and convinced me my life was not
complete until I lled the void of not
being a member of the greatest
opportunity on the planet. I signed up,
obtained my card and home I went, not
being able to get this prospect out of my
mind.
Well, yesterday was the day to take
the big plunge and head to, what
turned out to be, a place, lled with
hundreds of people, all on a mission. As
it was a weekday, the rst thought that
crossed my mind was, doesn’t anyone
work anymore?
I clutched a buggy, not sure if I
needed it, but didn’t want to appear a
neophyte in this sea of professional
shoppers. I started along the aisles and
grew amazed at the treasures I was
found: a computer hard drive, at a very
reasonable price, an ofce chair and all
sorts of books and appliances. I was
learning how to maneuver through the
narrow passageways, with a buggy
which was too large, no doubt
intentionally made that size, realizing
the other shoppers had no time for me,
and ignored my constant apologies for
hitting their carts.
The staff was among the friendliest
anywhere. The ones I spoke with
couldn’t be more helpful and I was

www.TheStandardNewspaper.ca
quite pleased
w i t h
everything,
w h e n
suddenly I
came upon the food section. I am not
sure how to sum up the quantity of
things available, and yes I bought
enough Golean cereal to last a year, and
certainly more chocolates than I really
needed, but oh… it looked so good.
Maybe next time I will brave the lineup
for free samples, wanting not to appear
too eager on my rst adventure there.
Finally, after a very fast two hours, it
was time to leave. That in itself was an
escapade. I made my way to the front of
the store, only to become lost in a sea of
buggies, and, what seemed like,
irritable shoppers. I tried to gure out
the process of standing on one side
and leaving my buggy on the other, and
the cashier was quite helpful. And then
i t h a p p e n e d ! “ We o n l y t a k e
MasterCard, debit or cash.” I was
stunned. I only use Visa and have used
debit twice in my life. I fumbled
through my wallet and found my bank
card, only to have it declined, because
my debit card had not been activated.
Embarrassingly I was ushered to a
holding area and explained I had
another card in the car. I went to
retrieve it, and it seemed to work, but
for the fact I had no idea what my PIN
was. The attendant was friendly and
compassionate, and we nally agreed
on a cheque as payment.
I walked toward the exit, head up
high, as I had now joined the elite rank
of a Costco shopper. Maybe next time, I
will venture out on a Saturday and see
what real shopping is like.

Lake simcoe area MPS call on prime minister to

follow through on clean-up fund reinstatement
B E AV E RT O N : L o c a l M P J a m i e
Schmale joined Lake Simcoe area MPs
calling on the Prime Minister to follow
through on Clean-Up Fund Reinstate-
ment. Six area Conservative Members
of Parliament are asking the new
minority Liberal government to provide
a rm commitment and timeline for
reinstating the Lake Simcoe Clean-up
Fund.
The original funding program assisted
local groups with projects that improved
the health of the lake for 10 years before
it was cancelled by Trudeau’s govern-
ment two years ago.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer
announced in June as part of the
Conservative Party’s “Real Plan for the
Environment”, that an elected Conser-
vative Government would re-instate the
Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund. Not to be
out done, and with just two days left
before voting in the recent federal
election was set to begin, local Liberal
Candidates with the help of Minister
Chrystia Freeland promised that a re-
elected Liberal government would also
re-instate the Lake Simcoe Clean-Up
Fund.
Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock
MP-elect Jamie Schmale, Barrie-Innisl
MP-elect John Brassard, York Simcoe
MP-elect Scot Davidson, Bar rie-
Springwater-Oro-Medonte MP-elect
Doug Shipley, Simcoe-North MP-elect
Bruce Stanton, and Simcoe-Grey MP-
elect Terry Dowdall all signed a letter
this week to Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau. In it, they ask the PM to
commit to reinstating the fund as soon
as possible and to provide a date that
funding will begin to ow.
“For the protection and long-term
sustainability of Lake Simcoe and the
surrounding areas, we want the Prime
Minister to make good on his election
promise and immediately give us a
commitment to a date when the Lake
Simcoe Clean-up Fund will be restored,”
s a i d S c h m a l e . “ L a ke S i m c o e i s
extremely important to Central Ontario
and we need to make sure we are doing
all we can to keep the lake healthy for
future generations.”
The Lake Simcoe Clean-up Fund was
implemented by the Conservatives in
2007 and for 10 years it worked to
reduce phosphorus levels, restore sh
habitats and improve shorelines and
retention ponds.
Scientists found evidence the projects
were working, as phosphorus levels were
reduced, lake water quality improved
and native sh species were breeding in
the watershed – including sh that
hadn’t done so in many years. The fund
also helped improve shoreline natural-
ization and stormwater retention ponds.
“The increase in urban development,
invasive species and other challenges
have affected the health of the water-
shed over the years,” said Davidson. “We
must work together to protect this
important resource that so many of us
rely on.”
This was accomplished in collabora-
tion with stakeholders, municipalities,
and conservation authorities.
Brassard delivered the letter to the
Prime Minister’s ofce in Ottawa on
Wednesday.
“Lake Simcoe needs our attention
today,” Brassard said. “It’s been two
years since the Liberal government
cancelled the Lake Simcoe Clean-up
Fund and we need to make sure that all
of the work and resources that was
invested over 10 years to improve the
quality of the watershed is not wasted.”

Staying in Touch
ERIN O’TOOLE MP
In my rst column following the election, I want to start by
saying how honoured I am to remain the Member of
Parliament for Durham and how much I appreciate the
support of my community. Thank you. Whether I earned
your vote, or whether you voted for someone else, I pledge
to work very hard to serve everyone in our community. I
also pledge to be an informed and respectful national
voice for our community and the issues impacting our
country. Canada is an incredible country and is an
example to the world, but we must constantly recommit
ourselves to its ideals and its great promise.
“We are a great country and shall become one of the
greatest in the universe if we preserve it; we shall sink into
insignicance and adversity if we suffer it to be broken.”
This quote from Sir John A. Macdonald is a favourite of
mine because he was being both aspirational and
cautionary about the new country of Canada. Sir John
saw the tremendous potential of Confederation, but he
also recognized challenges would be ever present because
the country was forged from very different constituent
parts. Vast and challenging geography coupled with the
diverse Indigenous, linguistic, cultural origins of its
peoples meant the federation of Canada held unbridled
promise and immense challenges for the government.
The rst Prime Minister of Canada knew the preservation
of this great new country would be the fundamental task
of its leaders and this is still true today.
Our federation is facing a crisis of condence and this
will be a central focus for me as the forty-third Parliament
starts its session. Alberta and Saskatchewan have been
frustrated by actions of the federal government that have
seemed to undermine their economic progress. They feel
the economic success of the west has been shared with
the entire country over several decades through royalties,
Great Country
jobs and equalization payments, but that the federal
government has been absent when the west needed them
most when resource prices fell. The resource downturn
and subsequent regulatory changes from the Trudeau
government created a crisis in condence as billions in
capital investment left Canada and boom has turned to a
prolonged bust. Direct job losses in Alberta have been in
the 50,000 range with tens of thousands more lost from
the trickle-down impacts. To put it in perspective, the
country was gripped by the prospect of 3,000 jobs being
lost at GM Oshawa in our area, but this represents a
fraction of what Albertans have been witnessing each
month for the last few years.
Perhaps even more troubling than the erosion in
condence in the west has been the condescension from
many national voices who have dismissed western
concerns without even trying to understand them. Some
even accuse western politicians of fabricating or
exacerbating this crisis of condence and that is
undermining an important national dialogue that needs
to take place. Therefore, I intend to use my platform to
attempt to bridge these differences, build understanding
and push for plans to help alleviate concerns and preserve
our great country. Are the frustrations of the west valid?
Yes, they are. I will briey explain their origin.
Canada and its resource-producing provinces lose
billions of dollars each year because there is a discounted
rate for Canadian oil. This discount stems from the fact
that we can only trade our resource with a single
customer (the US) and a pipeline to tide water is needed
to access global markets and the global price. When Justin
Trudeau became Prime Minister, there were three such
tidewater pipelines in various stages of regulatory
approval. Energy East, Northern Gateway and the Trans-
Mountain Expansion (TMX). TMX
included an existing older pipeline and
the plan to build a twin pipeline. At the
end of his rst year as Prime Minister in
a move that was purely political,
Trudeau canceled the Northern Gateway pipeline. The
following year, Trans Canada Pipelines abandoned the
Energy East line because of Bill C-69 brought forward by
the Trudeau government. The following year, when the
owner of TMX was looking to exit the Canadian market
because of uncertainties (largely caused by the Liberal
government), Trudeau bought the TMX pipeline for $4.5
Billion. He had painted himself into a corner by directly
and indirectly killing two projects and was forced to
overpay by a billion dollars to salvage the third and nal
line. Since that time – May 2018 – not a single shovel
worth of work has been done on the TMX line and many
people in the west have lost faith in this government, who
they believe caused the crisis in the rst place.
As I have said in my columns over the last few years, the
success of one province or one part of our country should
be celebrated because our federation is like a family. We
all benet. We can meet our climate change targets
without pitting one part of the country against another.
We can balance resource jobs alongside new areas of
growth and innovation. Economic opportunity in Canada
should not be a zero sum game and the government
needs to understand that. Preservation of this great
country is the responsibility of all Canadians and that
starts with trying to understand frustrations and not being
dismissive of them. I truly hope Prime Minister Trudeau
rises to the challenge and he could start by taking a lesson
from Sir John himself.

ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling
We've had a lot of rainfall. Crops were late getting in
because of wet land and now they are late getting off
for the same reason. It’s difcult to get outdoor
chores accomplished when it’s so wet, and now cold
to boot, but as much as we complain, we are still in far
better condition than many places in the world.
Cor Van Maurik and a group of men, including Bob
Meek, were moose hunting a couple of weeks ago and
were satised with their success.
Last week seemed to be a very busy week with one
thing or another. Do you have your tires changed yet?
Snow is trying hard to y so be safe.
Anniversary congratulations go out to Les and Erin
Smith, having been married for 13 years already,
while Ed and Pam Beach have been married for 46.
Best wishes for many more years together!

Condolences to the Shepherd family on the passing

sanctuary was full of family, friends and neighbours.
Her son Stephen, and his wife Sandra, a couple of
sons and grandchildren came from Georgia. Her
daughter Margaret, and her husband Gord Eng, and
granddaughter Ashley came from Alberta. Barb's
sister Mary and husband Bill Jones also travelled
from the USA. Her daughters Brenda Moore and
Karen, were there, along with, respectively, their
husbands Brian and Jerry Popadynic, Brian and
Brenda's daughter Alicia, and Karen and Jerry's

about.
The Bazaar season has started and on Saturday
there were at least two bazaars, which I had planned
to attend. However I only got to one, the Pearls and
Lace Craft sale in Goodwood Hall, which is in support
of the “Friends of the Foster”. A few weeks ago things
looked a little rocky, but it worked out and there were a
full number of vendors and plenty of visitors.

November), but when we stand and
honour our veterans on November 11th,
and think of the challenges they endured
through all kinds of conditions for our

Ontario marks fourth Community events, school visits by

annual Treaties
Recognition Week
On Monday, November 4th, Greg Rickford, Minister of
Indigenous Affairs issued the following statement about
Treaties Recognition Week:
"This week Ontario is marking the fourth annual Treaties
Recognition Week by supporting opportunities for people to
learn more about treaties in Ontario, and their place in the
province's history and heritage.
Our government is working with Indigenous and education
partners to deliver treaty awareness events in schools,
universities and public libraries. Indigenous Elders and
Knowledge Keepers will deliver teachings and provide their
personal perspectives to help deepen understandings of
treaties.
Treaty relationships are as relevant today as they were
when they were rst signed. As a nurse and lawyer who lived
in and worked with First Nation communities, I've seen rst-
hand the importance of making modern treaty relationships
real and meaningful for Indigenous and non-Indigenous
peoples alike. Promoting awareness and understanding of
treaties helps to advance us along the road of reconciliation
and ensure everyone can participate in Ontario's prosperity."
Knowledge Keepers, part of Indigenous
Peoples Awareness Month in November
Durham District School Board, the Durham
Catholic District School Board and the Kawartha
Pine Ridge District School Board and its schools will
be holding a variety of activities in November during
the fourth annual Indigenous Peoples Awareness
Month.
“We sincerely believe that all of our students, staff
and communities are enriched by learning about the
histories, cultures and contributions of First Nation,
Métis and Inuit peoples in Canada,” says Diane
Lloyd, Chairperson of the Board. “It is also important
that students be aware of the continuing relevance of
historic treaties reached between the government
and Indigenous peoples, and of the tragic, multi-
generational legacy of residential schools.”
“ We have taken many positive steps in
transforming the educational experiences of all
students to include historically and culturally
accurate learning about Indigenous peoples,
cultures and perspectives,” adds Dr. Jennifer
L eclerc, Director of Education. “Cultural
competency training for staff, introduction of the
compulsory Contemporary Indigenous Voices
English course for Grade 11 students, and ongoing
school visits by Indigenous knowledge keepers have
helped in this regard, but we know we still have work
to do.”
As part of Indigenous Peoples Awareness Month,
the Board also is marking Treaties Recognition Week
November 4th to 8th, Inuit Day on November 7th
and Louis Riel Day on November 16th.
In addition, schools across KPR are holding, or
participating in, a variety of special events, such as
Inuit artist and sculptor, David Ruben Piqtoukun will
be teaching about soap stone carvings, various
schools will participate in National Indigenous
Veterans' Day, and a Metis ag raising.

Hotline - a one-stop
hotline that connects
Canadian Armed Forces
(CAF) personnel with

agents - provides
specialized knowledge
about health cards,
driver's licences and
vehicle registration.
The hotline supple-
ments the government's
online resource hub -
o n t a r i o . c a /

lets military family
members know what key
resources are available to
them.
"We are honouring the

The dedicated toll-free

United States and
Canada, directly
connects CAF members
and their families with
ServiceOntario agents
who provide value-added

"Through our consul-

big challenge," said
Minister Thompson.
"Our dedicated priority
hotline and online
resources make it easy
deployed military
families to quickly get
answers to key move-
related questions before
they come to Ontario."
Military personnel and
their families can visit
ontario.ca/MilitaryFamil
ies for up-to-date
information about
healthcare, education
and schools, childcare,
driver and vehicle
licensing, and job
opportunities. The
Ontario government is
continuing to work
closely with its federal
government partners to
better align all available
programs and services
for military members
and their families.
" We p r o m i s e d w e
would do what we can to
make moving to and
living in Ontario easier
for our military person-
nel, and that's exactly
what we're doing," said
Minister Thompson.

QUICK FACTS
• Consultations were held from November 2018 to February 2019 to understand
the challenges faced by CAF members and their families who move to Ontario.
More than 250 online survey results were received. As well, 18 in-depth one-on-
one interviews with veterans were held over a six-week period.
• A 2013 report by the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence
found that relocation is a major cause of strain for spouses and children of
members of the CAF. Military personnel are transferred three times more often
than the average non-military Canadian throughout their careers.
• The CAF launched the Seamless Canada initiative in June 2018 to better align
military programs and services across all provinces where CAF members may be
deployed.
• Nine CAF Family Resource Centres across Ontario (Borden, London-
Southwestern Ontario, Kingston, Meaford, National Capital Region, North Bay,
Petawawa, Trenton, and Toronto) also provide comprehensive in-person and
online support services and programs.

generosity, in both funding and volun-
teer time, of its 320,000 members, the
Legion is one of Canada’s largest
community service organizations,
supporting: amateur sports; cadet and
scout groups; new hospital equipment;
and non-prot housing, in communities
big and small, from coast to coast to

million in the form of bursaries and
scholarships, $3.3 million for youth
programs, $500,000 to the legion
national Track and Field Champion-
ships, $222 million for Seniors Housing,

all this without a penny of government
funding.

disability claims, offers a hand up to
veterans who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness, and provides bursaries to
children, grandchildren and great

Paramedics’ pink epaulettes spark support for breast cancer care

at RMH

KAWARTHA LAKES: Kawartha Lakes Paramedics
are valued partners of the Ross Memorial Hospital
team, ensuring patients receive timely care when
they’re sick or hurt. They also recognize that life-saving
care includes access to medical tools and technology
that help to detect, diagnose and treat patients’ health
conditions.
When a member of their ‘blue’ family was diagnosed
with breast cancer, the Kawartha Lakes Paramedic
Service showed support throughout her patient
journey. During Breast Cancer Awareness month, they
shouldered an even greater role through their Pink
Epaulette Campaign.
Paramedics purchased pink epaulettes to be worn on
their uniform shirts and jackets during the month of
October, encouraging support for the Ross Memorial’s
Diagnostic Imaging Breast Health program.
Today, Paramedics gathered at RMH to present a
donation of $1,800 to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation
CEO.
“Like so many people in the City of Kawartha Lakes,
we’re touched by this show of support by the
Paramedics,” said Erin Coons. “By raising awareness of
the importance of cancer screening and supporting the
diagnostic tools that help doctors to diagnose and treat
breast cancer as early as possible, the Paramedics are
taking their role as community health heroes to a new
level. We’re so grateful for their support.”
“It was a real pleasure to wear our pink epaulettes
this month and raise funds for RMH’s diagnostic tools
a n d b r e a s t c a n c e r p ro g r a m . O u r t e a m h a d
overwhelmingly positive responses and conversations
with the public around the importance of breast cancer
screening,” commented Francine Scott, Paramedic,
City of Kawartha Lakes. “Thank you to all my fellow
paramedics who took part, the public for showing their
support, and to RMH for all that they do.”

KAWARTHA LAKES: The Royal Canadian Legion was
formed in 1926, with a commitment to the remembrance
of those who gave their lives for peace and freedom.
Prior to 1926 the Lindsay Legion, Sir Sam Hughes
Branch, was called the Great War Veterans Association
which was founded in 1917.
“The Legion's mission is to serve the veterans,
members of the military, and RCMP members as well as
their families. The Legion is also here to promote
remembrance and Remembrance Day,” said Bill Neville,
public relations ofcer for the Lindsay Legion.
The Lindsay Legion is named after Sir Sam Hughes,
who served as Canada’s Minister of Militia and Defence,
during the First World War and was knighted in 1915.
He was a driving force behind Canada’s early war effort
and brought an arsenal of troops to Lindsay. Sir Sam
Hughes increased the efciency of the pre-war militia,
and after 1914, led the Canadian war effort with
enormous energy and personal drive.
He lived most his natural life in Lindsay, where he
passed away, due to Pernicious Anemia, on January 8th,
1853
In memory of Sir Sam Hughes, the Lindsay Legion
serves the community in many ways, with donations to
several community groups throughout the year.
“Charitable efforts is one of the biggest things the
Legion does,” Bill said.
The Lindsay Legion donates to a lot of local
organizations, like the Ross Memorial Hospital, Big
Brothers and Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club, the
cadets, the local foodbank, the Salvation Army, and the

The Lindsay L egion is hosting its annual
Remembrance Day service on November 11th, and
encourages everyone in the area to come out.
“The Lindsay Legion service is a very well put together
service,” Bill said.
At the service families who have lost loved ones can lay
a wreath for the deceased relative.
Starting at the Lindsay Legion, located on 12 York
Street North, there will be a march at 10:00 a.m. Legion
members will form a procession outside and march up
Kent Street to the Cenotaph, located just outside the
Kawartha Lakes Public Library, on 190 Kent Street West.
Once the procession arrives, the ofcial Remembrance

Health Department
reminds area residents to
get their annual u shot
Inuenza season has arrived, and
Durham Region Health Department is
reminding area residents to protect
themselves and others by getting their
annual inuenza vaccine, also known as
the u shot.
The best way you can stop inuenza is
by getting the inuenza vaccine every
year,” said Brandi Pigou, a public health
nurse with the Health Department. “The
inuenza vaccine is safe and protects you
from the inuenza virus which causes a
contagious respiratory illness. The
vaccine is also free and recommended
for everyone six-months and older.
Individuals who have inuenza may
experience serious complications
including pneumonia, dehydration, ear
infections and, in rare cases, death. For
most individuals, the u will last between
seven to 10 days with symptoms such as
muscle aches, chills, loss of appetite,
sore throat, fever, headache and/or
fatigue. Each year in Ontario, the u is
responsible for approximately 4,750
hospitalizations and 1,365 deaths, with
the highest mortality rate occurring in
adults 65 and older.
Many people use the word ‘u’ to
describe the common cold, but inuenza
is a serious illness,” explained Ms. Pigou.
“Getting sick with the u can be very
severe for children, older adults, people
with chronic health conditions and
pregnant women. By getting the u shot
each year you protect yourself as well as
those around you, including our
community’s most vulnerable
populations.”
Everyone six-months and older is
eligible to receive the inuenza vaccine;
after receiving the vaccine, it takes about
two weeks to develop protection against
inuenza. This season, the inuenza
vaccine is available at more than 400
locations across Durham Region
including local health care providers,
such as family doctors, nurse
practitioners, walk-in clinics and
pharmacies. Pharmacies can provide the
vaccine to anyone over ve-years old.
Adults 65 and older can only receive the
high-dose inuenza vaccine from a
doctor or walk-in clinic, as pharmacies
do not carry stock of the high-dose
vaccine. Additionally, there is no nasal
vaccine available in Canada for this year.
Ontario residents who do not have
OHIP coverage are encouraged to call
Durham Health Connection Line at 905-
666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729. For more
information about inuenza or the
inuenza vaccine, visit durham.ca/u.

project process
Continued from page 1.
She noted the Black-stock Arena has been identied
as a priority in the last three Township master plans.
“When do we stop paying, stop hiring consultants if
we are not going to listen to them,” Councillor Wotten
said.
Ward 3 Councillor Angus Ross questioned what would
happen if council is unsuccessful with this grant
application.
“If we are not successful with getting this grant, then
this project will not proceed, unless another
opportunity comes forward,” Ms. Coleman responded.
Councillor Ross also stated his concern with whether
the township can afford the extra 26 percent of the
project costs the township would be on the hook for.
Though Ward 4 Councillor Deborah Kiezebrink
stated council will still have an opportunity at a later
time to make decisions to rein in the project costs if
need be.
Treasurer Dianne Valentim said this grant is “a very
good funding opportunity” for Scugog.
Councillor Wotten said she would expect this council
to do their due diligence on this project.
Ward 5 Councillor Lance Brown asked if the
township expects the arena to make money.
“It’s the same as many things we provide in this
community, it’s a service. The library doesn’t make
money either, and our roads certainly don’t make any
money,” Mayor Bobbie Drew said. “We’re not in the
business of making money, we are in the business of
making this a great place to live, work, play and raise
your kids.”
Council later approved a motion to authorize and
support an application to the 2019 intake of this grant
program.
