Box 4354 Station E, Ottawa, ON, K1S 5B3 The 2020 yearbook was produced by Fei Wu, with the generous help from Phil Johnson, Zhenya Kondratovski, Hao Pan and Beth Everson 3 3 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Philip Johnson, NCTA President That was the year that was! Welcome all to the NCTA 2020 Yearbook. The past year has been like no other in living memory – at least for most of us. I hope that you and your families have stayed healthy and happy, and I offer my condolences to those who have lost a loved one. Our plans to celebrate the NCTA’s 100th Anniversary fell by the wayside, as did so many celebrations. I would like to commend the tennis community for your responsible and creative responses to the many challenges posed by the pandemic. As far as we are aware, there are zero cases where a Covid-19 infection resulted from a tennis-related activity within our region. I think we all appreciate that playing tennis is a very, very low risk activity with respect to the virus, and the NCTA continues to advise local and provincial politicians to that effect. Nonetheless, the diligent response of our tennis clubs and players contributed significantly to our success. Thank you very much everyone. The restrictions that were imposed on tennis activities were measured, and for that I would like to thank Kelly Bean, the City of Ottawa’s contact for the tennis community. Kelly worked diligently as the voice for tennis on many occasions this year. The fact that our seasonal clubs lost little more than a week of the playing time at the start of the season is testimony to Kelly’s efforts. It is worth noting that Ottawa tennis players often had many more options than players in other parts of Ontario, including league play, doubles and tournaments. Probably the hardest hit part of our community was the competitive junior program. In recent years, theNCTA and local clubs have offered junior tournaments most weekends during the summer, but only ahandful of junior events took place in 2020. Even when tournament play was permitted, a combination ofthe restrictions applied and the willingness of clubs to accept visitors into their facilities meant there was a minimal summer program. The loss of the Ottawa Athletic Club has had a major impact on all members of the tennis community, but particularly juniors. The OAC’s indoor courts were the hub of competitive winter tennis for juniors in Ottawa. Sadly, at the time of writing, Ottawa is in a lockdown situation and no indoor facilities are operating. On the positive side, we were blessed with a warm autumn that allowed tennis to be played outdoors until mid-November, a record for many clubs. The City Championships were held in September, with a high level of participation. Please read the yearbook for an overview of many of the successes of 2020. 4 4 At the 2020 AGM, we identified five priority initiatives for 2021, which were endorsed by the members. The priorities are identified below, and we are pushing ahead on all fronts. I’m pleased to report that: • the revision to the constitution is well underway and members will be asked to vote on a new version at the 2021 AGM • an enthusiastic group is developing a strategy for competitive junior tennis that will be implemented as soon as feasible • the strategy for adult competitive tennis will include a trial implementation of the UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) format • the facilities development has been refocused on the need to create more indoor tennis facilities in Ottawa and at time of writing there are some promising initiatives Although this Commemorative Yearbook does not contain any reports on celebrations of our 100th anniversary, there are still stories to tell about the history of tennis in Ottawa, as well as reports from clubs across the city. As hinted at in the slide above, this will be the final publication of a Yearbook in this format – even the world of tennis cannot escape the digital revolution. A working group

Yet, preparing students to launch into our globally-connected world – where the pace of technology change continues to accelerate – and where the job market is continually shifting – is challenging. So, ensuring a strong and vibrant education system that responds to the needs of our community is a job for the whole community, not just the education sector.

  • Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?
    Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens.

  • Communiquevol. 9 No. 2 Vol. 9 No. 2 Association of Canada Lands
    CAssocoiationm of Canmada Landus Sunrveyoirs quVol. e9 No. 2 M.J. O’Sullivan retired on May 19, 2005 “Making a Difference” It is perhaps all that we should hope for, at the end of a career, to be able to look back and say: “I think that I have made a difference”. Michael Jefferies O’Sullivan was born in Toronto and after graduating from St. Michael’s college, found his way to Ottawa not only to work but also to raise a family. During his time in both the private and public sectors he has faced many of the ups and down faced by most land surveyors associated with land development or the bureaucracy of government. Mike’s professional career has been extraordinary. His career began in the late fifties and has spanned some 46 years. During that period he has seen some of the greatest technological advancements experienced by a profession. At the start of his career 300’ chains were used to measure distances, through the Sixties and Seventies came the first of the electronic measuring devices, followed in the eighties by the development of geographic information and global positioning systems. Later, Mike guided Legal Surveys Division of Natural Resources Canada through a review of all federal government programs and more recently this included a reorganization of the Earth Sciences Sector of NRCan from a capacity-driven organization to one that is more in line with the today’s government agenda. Mike talks fondly of those days of his 25 years in the private sector. He moved to Ottawa with Paul Winarski in the late Fifties, and by the mid sixties; he, along with George Annis, had their own firm and by the Seventy and Eighties Annis, O’Sullivan and Goltz and later Annis O’Sullivan Vollebekk was one of the largest survey firms in Ottawa.
