Vigils Held In Toronto TORONTO: On Monday a vigil in Toronto brought hundreds of people to Malvern Method- ist church to honour victims of Sunday’s deadly bombing in Sri Lanka. Erica Vella speaks with members of the community who say they are grieving following the deadly blasts. Edward Anura Ferdinand, president of the Sri Lanka Can- ada Association of Ottawa, said hundreds of Sri Lankans planned to gather in several cities to light candles, sing hymns and come to terms with the recent bombings. One such vigil unfolded Mon- day evening on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. n the hours after the attacks, some 200 Sri Lankan-Canadi- ans attended a service at the To- ronto Harvest Missionary Church in Scarborough, Ont., to pray for victims and their families.

The majority of claims paid out in 2017-2018 _ 83 per cent _ were made for services in the United States, the report also notes. Lysyk also noted the high administrative costs of the program, but she said they arise because staff must check varying physician services fee rates and process claims manually. www.WeeklyVoice.com FRONT/national Friday, April 26, 2019 | A-5 A Loonie To Mark Progress Of LGBTQ2 People TORONTO: The Royal Cana- spoke at the coin unveiling, said dian Mint unveiled a commemo- while the legal changes in 1969 rative loonie Tuesday to mark were not perfect, they are worthy what it called a key milestone of celebration. for lesbian, gay, transgender, “When you have laws hanging queer and two-spirited people, over your head that say when you with the government saying love someone very, very much the coin symbolized progress and you practice consensual sex while highlighting the work that with that other adult person you still needs to be done to advance could be thrown in jail, that is equality. significant,’’ he said.

The three have been told that there are reasonable grounds to suspect they might “threaten transportation security,” or travel by air to commit terrorist acts, under the Secure Air Travel Act. Two of the three have filed cases against the decision, saying the system is unfair and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. One had flown from Ontario to Vancouver, only to be told when he attempted to board his return flight he was on the list, -requir ing him to drive back across the country. Sikh activists allege that the names were added to please the Indian Government - after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to India in February 2018. Two men on the list are: Bhagat Singh Brar who was told about the ban at Vancouver airport on April 24, 2018. He appealed to the government’s Passenger Pro- tect Inquiries Office but the decision remains. Parvkar Singh Dulai received notice at Vancouver airport on May 17, 2018 and his name on the list also stands.

A-12 | Friday, April 26, 2019 feature www.WeeklyVoice.com Decision On Trans Mountain Pipeline Put Off Ottawa Spent $4.5 Billion To Buy Project Last Year; Impact Of Oil Tankers Also Scrutinized OTTAWA: The federal government is putting off plans to pass judgment on the reconsid- ered Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal for nearly a month in order to finish its consultations with Indigenous groups, according to Natural Re- sources Minister Amarjeet Sohi. The deadline is being pushed back _ from May 22 to June 18 _ on the recommendation of In- digenous communities and former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci, who is advising the government on the consultation process, Sohi said Thursday. “The government has consis- tently said that a decision would only be made on the project once we are satisfied that the duty to consult has been met,’’ he said in a statement. The proposal to twin the existing Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby, B.C., was first approved by cabi- A aerial view of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain marine terminal, in Burnaby, B.C. File pic: JONATHAN HAYWARD / THE net in 2016. The Federal Court of CANADIAN PRESS Appeal rescinded that decision last August, declaring that neither the environmental review nor the Indigenous consultations had been properly completed. After taking into consideration the impact of more oil tankers on marine life off the coast of B.C., the National Energy Board said on Feb. 22 that it still believed the project was in the public interest and should go ahead, subject to 156 conditions and 16 new rec- ommendations for Ottawa. That decision gave cabinet 90 days to make its call, setting May 22 as the expected deadline. But even as that report was being fi- nalized, officials in Sohi’s office were signalling that more time would likely be required.

Peel Hosting Conservation Day PEEL: The Region of Peel is hosting its annual Conservation Day at the Clarkson Go Station in south Mississauga on Saturday, April 27. Conservation Day, held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., is a special one-day event that brings specific waste management services to Peel residents. The Clark- son Go Station is located at 1110 Southdown Road. (Event entrance off-Royal Windsor Drive) Residents can drive in and drop off the below items for free:

• confidential paper for shredding, • household hazardous waste: batteries, household cleaners, paints and solvents, items with mercury, • reusable goods: clothing, textiles, books and small appliances – but not furniture, and • used electronic equipment: phones, personal computers, circuit boards and TVs.

“Conservation Day gives residents the opportunity to dispose of unwanted items for free,” says Dwayne Cromwell, Supervisor, Community Recycling Cen- tre, at the Region of Peel. “Disposing of these items properly and safely is a great way to help to keep our community clean and items out of landfill.” Residents can also purchase rain barrels for $50 – cash only, taxes included. www.WeeklyVoice.com community Friday, April 26, 2019 | A-15 Last Chance to Meet ROM’s New Dinosaur ‘Zuul’ 6-Metre-Long, 2.4 Ton Ankylosaur Covered In Body Armour Roamed Earth 76 Million Years Ago TORONTO: The Royal On- how this mighty dinosaur, bris- nosaur. tario Museum’s (ROM) orginal tling with armour and a menacing Presenting Sponsor Sinking exhibition Zuul: Life of an Ar- tail club, lived.

She extended her warmest greetings to all those who were celebrating the auspi- cious occasions. Sonia Sidhu said: “Occasions, celebrations, and festivals such as Ram Navmi, Hari Jayanti, and Chaitra Navaratri give us the opportunity to come together, put aside our differences, and truly realize how it is our relations with the people around us which truly make up the special moments in our lives. It was an absolute pleasure celebrating with the Hindu community this year. “I would like to thank the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, the Gauri Shan- kar Mandir, and the Hindu Swaminarayan Mandir and Cultural Centre for all that they do for the sake of their devotees and for making such an effort to bring the community together. “In the hustle and bustle of life it is easy to forget what truly matters – one’s friends, one’s family, and one’s community. Occa- sions such as this give us the opportunity to focus on the truly important things in life. And, it also allows us to truly cherish and recognize the contributions the Hindu community has made to our home and native land.
