It was based on the information provided to us, which turned out to be incomplete. No slight was intended and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to provide the much richer story here. We offer our sincere thanks to Ron’s son Gary for writing this article. On Labour Day weekend (September 6, 2009) Ron (Mr. C) Cotnam passed away. Mr. C is survived by his wife Joan and his children Gary, Shelley and step daughter Paula. He was predeceased by his first wife Audrey (Mrs. C). If anyone asked Mr. C what his most treasured gifts were, he would have told you his grandchildren: Andy, Kelsea, John, Kyle and Taylor. In the past, on Labour Day in Merritton you would have seen Mr. C walking down Seymour Street stopping at people’s houses, talking to everyone along the parade route, handing out draw tickets, smiling, joking, having a beer or two and just being Mr. C. Although Dad would have never agreed to an article about himself because as he said “I want nothing about me” there comes a time when we would like to acknowledge his contributions to the Merritton Community. Mr. C was heavily involved in the Merritton Athletic Association. He was past president, treasurer, baseball convener, involved in the building of the baseball fields behind Merritton Arena, and organized team bottle drives as a fund-raiser for his teams. He brought back the bottle drive to the MAA when he returned to coaching for 1 year in 2004 and this event still continues today. He also received the Jack Dempsey award for his many accomplishments. Most people in Merritton will remember him best as a coach of hockey and baseball which he did for numerous years. Ask any player who ever played for him and they will tell you what a dedicated and inspiring coach he was. Even after he stopped coaching he continued to go to the Merritton Arena on Tuesday and Thursday all-star nights where he could be seen in his ‘corner’ watching the kids play hockey. Later, many former players brought their kids to the rink where they would come over and chat with him. This brought him a great sense of pride as these players still remembered him after all that time had passed. Like who could forget such a great man? He also owned a tavern known as none other than Mr. C’s which was located in the plaza beside Food Basics on Hartzel Road. He continued to show his Merritton spirit by having barrels with Merritton written on them and the Merritton Bulldog trademark was clearly seen on the mirrors behind the bar and on the front entrance door. It became a place where anyone in the Merritton community would drop in to reminisce and see Mr. C. Mr. C touched many lives in Merrittton and here is what a few people had to say about him. Bill Buckle: “He got me my first job working with Mrs. C at K Mart. He got me involved in coaching after he coached me and he also got me hooked on betting the horses and losing all my money. I guess it can’t be all good. Seriously, Mr. C was a true community leader. If we had more people like Mr. C looking after the children in their communities I know this would be a better city.” Chad Turner: “I remember Mr. C doing the bottle drives, the fundraising, tournaments, Labour Day parade, bottle draws, coaching and leadership, I think there might even have been a party or two. He treated you as if you were family. Mr C was Merritton!” Doreen Green: “Mr. C was a caring, humble and gentle man who was an inspiration to know, who made caring, sharing and a tremendous support of others a part of his everyday life. His accomplishments in support of the Merritton community are too numerous to mention, for which the only payment he craved for his efforts, was the smile on a child’s face, or to ease another’s suffering. He was totally unselfish and giving during his lifetime.” Brenda Chabot-Piech: “My parents remember the blizzard of ‘77 when his hockey team was stranded near Woodstock and he bought sleeping bags for all the kids...I remember him bringing out the whole team at Christmas time to sing carols and stop at Lorraine Zalepa’s afterward. Your dad’s caring was infectious and anyone who spent any kind of time with him couldn’t help but rub off that he was there for the kids....teaching, helping, showing compassion...I’m sure any kid who was lucky enough to have played on a team he managed or coached will never forget him. Mr. C was a big part of growing up in Merritton!!! Mr. C had a presence, he did it out of love and we all remember!!!” Finally, Mr. C never looked for a pat on his back or to be acknowledged for any of his accomplishments. All he ever wanted was to see a smile on the children’s faces. It was always about the kids for Mr. C! He touched many lives as he was a father, grandfather, husband, mentor, leader, coach; a true legend and our Merritton Icon. He will be greatly missed! Look for tributes to Ruth (Lindal) Lamothe and Jack McNaughton in the next issue. MERRITTON MATTERS I 3 Business Education Council Rick Merritt of BEC’s Prosperity Initiative let us know about a research project concerning our neighbourhood. The research has centred on assessing supports and community resources for individuals living in poverty in certain neighbourhoods. The determinants include: % of residents unemployed % of children with low EDI scores % of sole support parents % of individuals living below the poverty line % of renters who pay more than 30% of income on rent % of children living in homes on some form of government assistance % of adults who have not completed high school The researchers have contacted organizations and individuals located in Merritton who were known to assist people who were affected by poverty. They contacted both ward councillors, Habitat for Humanity, Rotary, and Merritton Lions. The Merritton Community Group was also contacted. We’ll keep you updated as the research results become available. 4 I MERRITTON MATTERS Oakdale Avenue – As I See It. By Phyllis Thomson Well, the last vestiges of the Outlaw era have finally come tumbling down, and that’s certainly a good thing. Those of us old enough to remember Paul Brodeur’s grocery store will recall it as an attractive building, an asset to the area.

  • Play June 2021
    WELCOME BACK TO IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN 1 | 12 a message from ONTARIO LACROSSE about this Return to Play Guide The Ontario Lacrosse Association is proud to be a leading lacrosse community both at home in Canada and throughout the world where our members can enjoy, value and celebrate the benefits of active participation and excellence in women’s field lacrosse, minor & men’s field lacrosse and box lacrosse. Since 1994, lacrosse has been declared Canada’s Official Summer Sport. It is a fundamental part of our heritage, and we look forward to being together again to play, coach, officiate and watch this great game. In January of 2020, the Province of Ontario identified the first recorded case of COVID-19 in Canada. Since that time, the world we knew changed drastically. The OLA’s Board of Directors and Return to Activity Task Force members carefully examined available resources to eventually navigate the process for and possibility of returning to play, while remaining committed to our foundation of prioritizing the health, safety and wellbeing of the Ontario Lacrosse community. As the final installment of our Return to Activity series, this Game On! Guide lays out the general requirements to create a safe environment to protect our sanctioned members at all levels and disciplines of play. We recognize that players, coaches, officials, team support staff and administrators will all need to make adjustments as we transition back to play in the middle of our traditional lacrosse season, and our path will be guided by common sense and flexibility throughout the 2021 season.
