This is due to the celebrations for the past 50 wonderful years in our community. If you passed through the doors of the North Bendale Junior Public School in the past, you will want to pass through them again on Saturday, October 2, 2010 when they celebrate their 50th anniversary. Wouldn’t it be worth it to see your favourite teacher again? Now that you have your calendar out, don’t forget about the kick-off gala to begin the 50th celebration for the North Bendale Community Association. We have booked the Blue Danube for Friday, December 3rd. We have had a full board of directors for each of the past 50 years. Let’s not stop at 50. We need neighbours like you to come together to help continue this amazing tradition. Please come out to one of our meetings that are held on a Wednesday evening at the North Bendale School. The next two meetings are scheduled for October 20th and November 17th at 7 pm. Yvonne Taylor NBCA WEBSITE: WWW.NORTHBENDALE.ORG With the coming of fall we celebrate the first anniversary of the operation of our website. During the past year we have averaged over 200 website visits per month, visits that we hope have provided you with more timely news and events for our neighbourhood. We welcome your comments, suggestions and content that would be of interest to our community. Just contact us via e-mail at [email protected]. From your Webmaster, Norm Cruse FROM THE EDITORS: · We are always looking for material to be put into the Bugle.

Page 3 NBCA WEBSITE: WWW.NORTHBENDALE.ORG Annual General Meeting Yvonne Taylor Our last North Bendale AGM took place on Wednesday, April 21, 2010. We had an impressive turn-out from the community. Our new Board of Directors was nominated and accepted. Many thanks go out to all who volunteered last year. Without you, there would be no Association. We were fortunate to have three guest speakers: · Scott Harrison, TDSB School Trustee for Scarborough Centre, spoke to us about the effect that "all day" kindergarten would have on North Bendale Junior Public School classrooms. · Glenn de Baeremaeker, City Councillor for Scarborough Centre, was there to show his support for the community and say a few words. He talked about a number of projects around the area that will be undertaken as a result of some $6 million of funding provided by the developers over the years. · Brad Duguid, MPP for Scarborough Centre and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, spoke to us about his new portfolio. Brad recently held a contest to identify people who practice everyday kindness to others, and was pleased to present five Kindness Awards to families resident on Erinlea Cr. Refreshments were served at the end of the meeting. Our next North Bendale AGM will take place on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Kindness Award Winners From the Office of Brad Duguid, MPP On September 17, 2009 the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed a motion to recognize the third week in February as Kindness Week in Ontario. Kindness Week is an opportunity for people in communities across the province to celebrate simple acts of kindness and goodwill towards their fellow citizens. The important goal is to get people thinking about how their actions can touch their neighbours, friends, family – even strangers. Brad Duguid’s first annual Show Your Kindness Contest was launched in January 2010. Several worthy nominations were received. Scarborough Centre residents demonstrated with simple acts of kindness why this is such a great place to live and work. The contest winners were awarded on April 21, 2010 at the North Bendale Community Association Annual General Members’ meeting. Congratulations to Cameron and Benjamin Malcolm, Bobby, Andrea and Joaquin Lagman, Jim and Lila McIndoe and the Douros family for making the North Bendale community such a positive part of the Scarborough Centre riding.

The school is an outstanding place to be! I am so proud of the professionalism of our staff, the enthusiasm, work ethic and kindness that our students show, the support that our parents and community members demonstrate, and the caretaking that goes into our building everyday. Thank you to Mrs. Alfano, our office administrator for always addressing phone calls in such a helpful way. Staff and students at North Bendale will continue to get involved in extra-curricular activities. Our students will compete at the Brock Gordon Cross-Country Meet on Saturday, October 2nd, at Thomson Park. Running against much larger schools is always challenging and our students will give it their all. Throughout the year our students will compete in volleyball, slo-pitch, soccer, and track and field. They will also participate in events like the Folk Dance Jamboree and Art Club. They are an enthusiastic bunch! Participation in extra curricular activities give our students an opportunity to learn the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship. Congratulations to Emma Carrington who was awarded the Athlete of the year for the 2010 graduating class and thank you to the North Bendale Community Association for donating and presenting that award. If you are interested in volunteering some of your time for clubs or for reading with our students, please contact me at the office. North Bendale will participate in the Terry Fox Walk this fall and you are more than welcome to join us. Keeping active and supporting this very worthwhile cause helps to build and develop character, respect and responsibility, which are positive attributes we like to see reflected in our community. Thank you in advance to all of our students, staff, parents and community members for your donations.

    Tuesday and Wednesday May 1 - 2, 2012 Drawing Room - Château Laurier Ottawa, Ontario Mardi et mercredi Le 1er et 2 mai, 2012 Salle Drawing - Château Laurier Ottawa, Ontario Building on Rio+20: Canada’s Role and Priorities in a Global Green Economy A two-day conference to examine the policy and economic dimensions of Canada in a global green economy Presented by Sustainable Prosperity and the Institute of the Environment of The University of Ottawa Château Laurier, Ottawa Tuesday and Wednesday, May 1-2 , 2012 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit. The 1992 Earth Summit, attended by more than 100 Heads of Government, was intended to chart a course for global sustainable development with the aim of combatting climate change and protecting biodiversity. This June, Brazil will host Rio+20. While this meeting will be a stocktaking opportunity, it will also be forward-looking, with the Green Economy taking centre stage. The Green Economy has been described by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as “one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.” The Green Economy is increasingly on the global agenda as decision-makers grapple with multiple pressures – a warming climate, ocean acidification, deforestation, growing human population and loss of biodiversity – all of which could threaten long term prosperity, sustainability of the current global economy and the well-being of the planet’s citizens.

  • August 21, 2014 Honourable Brad Duguid Minister of Economic
    August 21, 2014 Honourable Brad Duguid Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure 8th Floor, Hearst Block 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2E1 By email: [email protected] Re: CPAWS request to not transfer lands to the federal government for Rouge National Urban Park until problems with draft federal legislation for the park are resolved Dear Minister Duguid: We are writing to express our serious concern that the draft federal legislation to create and manage the proposed Rouge National Urban Park, Bill C-40, does not provide adequate protection for the remarkable ecological values of the Rouge. In fact it is our view that the standard of protection in the Rouge could be lowered from its current status if the Rouge National Urban Park were to be established under this Bill. As a result we are requesting that, until this problem is resolved, Ontario not transfer any lands to the federal government for the purposes of creating the Rouge National Urban Park. The Memorandum of Agreement signed between Parks Canada and the Ontario government for the Rouge National Urban Park requires that written policies “meet or exceed provincial policies regarding the transferred lands…” Bill C-40 does not meet this test. The provincial policies for the Rouge Park and adjacent lands in the Green Belt and Oak Ridges Moraine clearly focus on ecosystem protection as the priority for management, and this is not the case in Bill C-40. The biggest problem with Bill C-40 is that it does not clearly prioritize nature conservation as the primary purpose of the park, or the top priority for park management.
