Volume 36 Number 9 ,, e b e Octoberreport 13, 2006 Vol. 36 No. 9 1 Serving the Glebe community since 1973 FREE Light Rail Transit big topic at all-candidates meeting During the question and answer session, the audience asked questions about the Glebe traffic plan, the candi- dates' personal commitment to the Ward, densification, the wages of the councillors, and other traffic problems in the area. All candidates had an opportunity to answer the ques- tions, and all attempted to do so. The mayoral candidateswho attended the meeting, Bob Chiarelli, Alex Munter, Piotr Anweiler, Jane Scharf, Barkley Pollock and Larry O'Brien, all had three minutes for their opening statements and to answer questions posed by the moderator, Anne Scotton. These included their posi- tion on the LRT, the future of the city centre, Smart Growth and property tax assessments. Bob Chiarelli spoke about his introduction of an om- budsman who condemned the present MPAC system for as- sessing property, and the need to finish the LRT job. Alex Munter spoke immediately after him, saying that he was in L-R: Clive Doucet, Ian Boyd, Brian Carroll, Jan D'Arcy, Jay Nordenstrom Photo: Etienne Ranger favour of completing the LRT but rethinking the plan for it. and Sean Curran Munter blamed Chiarelli for the urban sprawl in Ottawa. BY KATHRINE RIVE continued on page 6 The allcandidates meeting for Capital Ward took place on Tues., Oct. 3 at Immaculata High School. The school gym, which holds approximately 350 people, was not full for the councillors meeting; however, by the time the mayoral candidates took the stage it had filled to an estimated 75 per cent ca- pacity. The candidates for councillor were on stage first: Jay Nordenstrom, Ian Boyd, Clive Doucet and Sean Curran. Five questions were posed by the mod- eratorJan D'Arcy, regarding the Light Rail Transit (LRT), culture in the Cap- dal' Ward, property taxes, infrastructure and the issue of increasing traffic problems as the population rises. Each candidate had three minutes for his opening speech, during which he could address these questions. Ian Boyd spoke first. He is in favor of the LRT plan, is actively involved in the cultural life of the city and supports discussions with the province about property taxes. Jay Nordenstrom pointed out the low voting turnout of 28 per cent for Capital Ward in the last elections for councillor and stressed the im- portance of voting. He focussed on his background, working and living in Ot- tawa. Third to speak was Clive Doucet. He stated his support of the LRT and its Garden Angels ability to solve the transit problem and limit the expansion of arterial roads, The Glebe garden angels (and friends) have been busy planting tulip bulbs and also the need for community centres to be small, walk-to centres. Sean in the new planters at Bank and Fifth and at Fifth and Monk. Approximately Curran spoke last; he is vehemently to the opposed LRT expansion, saying one thousand bulbs were planted on Sept. 16 and on Thanksgiving weekend. that more buses would solve the transit issues in Ottawa. He mentioned that The angels thank an anonymous community sponsor and Capital Home he would strive to make parks and public buildings available for cultural Hardware for their support. events.

"It's gotten smaller over the years, so we're looking for new members," says Brown. Right now, the club is mainly made up of women, most of them widows. The ages range from 73 to 93. The club provides an outing for Ottawa sen- iors twice a week. It's especially beneficial to those who don't have many family members around. Roberta Brown says she's been lunching with the ladies for about 14 years. She notes she's met some good friends along the way. "You get out to see a lot of friends. It's nice to get out of the house. I really enjoy the company." Every Tuesday and Friday, the Glebe Centre van picks up each luncheon club member and heads to the grocery store, bingo hall, shopping mall, casi- no or movie theatre. And, of course, the trip also includes a meal out. There's room for about 14 people in the bus. Most days there are between six and a dozen members taking part. Elizabeth Parcher is with Abbotsford House. She says helping these women get out of the house and socialize as a group really lifts their spirits, especially in the winter months when they just don't get out very often. "For some people, it's difficult to get to Abbotsford. This club keeps mem- bers connected to the community", says Parcher. "Some find apartment living surprisingly isolated. This helps them associate with people they wouldn't normally associate with." Staff and volunteers from Abbotsford House pictured Ph°t°' Swam'Shan And Roberta Brown says she appreciates the attention from the volunteers with May Court representatives in front of the van supported by the May who help club members on the outings.

About three volunteers accompany the members on each trip. Some of the women are a bit frail, but none have any cognitive disabilities.

    ACTING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT The School of Physical and Health Education formally became the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University through an act of Queen’s Senate on 24 May 2006. The new School of Kinesiology and Health Studies is pleased to provide the seventh annual report on its undertakings and the first report under its new name. This is also my first report as Acting Director of the School. The achievements of our faculty and students were numerous and impressive in 2006. The School’s academic programs consist of a revitalized program in Physical Education, an emerging program in Health Studies, and a new program in Kinesiology that will be launched in September 2007. These programs are positioned to address contemporary concerns, meet students’ needs, and help set research and policy agendas. Our programs reflect a breadth of teaching and research topics from the social sciences underpinning diversity, participation, equity and inclusion, to the epidemiological, biomechanical, and physiological study serving research in health, physical activity, obesity, and sport. Much of this teaching and research focus is distinctive for its critical engagement with the real world. The extensive listing of work in peer reviewed journals, practical reports, policy papers, and the popular press and the high student demand for our programs are evidence of the quality of the teaching and research that is conducted within the School. The research work carried out within the School continues to be supported by several external granting agencies including new grants obtained in 2006 from CIHR, NSERC, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (OMRI), and the International Development Research Center (IDRC).

  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.

The mayor came to the Glebe in early January and, to our surprise, he brought with him his chief of staff, the manager for eco- nomic development and the direc- tor for planning and the environ- ment. We discussed three key sub- jects. First: What is the city's vi- sion for the downtown core? Is the Glebe part of the downtown core? Second: Why does the city contin- ue to favour areas managed by BIAs (Business Improvement Ar: eas). For the record, a BIA is an area where all businesses (like it or not) pay an additional tax levy to fund projects and pay for services (which used to be provided by the city).
