It was only for a few
months, but the role Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
members played in the Liberation of Kuwait still reso-
nates 25 years later.
In seven short months,
the multi-faceted mission designed to free Kuwait from
Iraqi aggression proved to
be a success due in no small
part to their efforts.
This mission marked a
radical shift in the way operations would be conducted, with Canadians quickly
and effectively overcoming
various technical challenges
while learning to improvise
on the ground.
Operation
FRICTION
also established many historic firsts, marking the first
time the CAF deployed a
joint headquarters and task
force group, and the first
time the Navy conducted a
Relief-In-Place crew swap
for a ship in theatre. It was

also the first time women deployed in combat roles.
“Since 1991, the face of the
Middle East has forever been
changed,” said 2 Canadian
Mechanized Brigade Group (2
CMBG) Commander Colonel
Conrad Mialkowski. “That
change and evolution continues to this day.
“This chapter in our Canadian military history is relatively unique,” he added. “It
was a short action, but we did
a few very interesting things.”
Commemorative
ceremonies were held on bases
throughout the nation, recognizing Canada’s contribution to the First Gulf War,
and the service provided by
veterans of the conflict.
A number of those veterans spoke about their experiences at an event held at Garrison Petawawa on Feb. 26.
“It changed you,” said Sergeant Bob Fox. “You grew up.
You were suddenly a man.”
He was a Private with less
than two years experience
when he was sent overseas.
It changed his perception
forever; the realities of war
became vivid as he helped
search injured Iraqis for hidden explosives before they
could access medical care.
He had been tasked with
guarding prisoners, and protecting the 530 1 Canadian
Field Hospital medics, surgeons, doctors and nurses as
well as the wounded.

Commander of 1 Health Services Group
Captain (N) Rebecca Patterson remembers
treating these “poor, conscript Iraqis that
were literally shanghaied off the streets,
thrown into a uniform, put into a little pair of
shoes and stuck in the trenches.”
They had been terrified of western troops,
fed horrifying stories of what would happen
to them if they were caught. Capt (N) Patterson recalled how many of them refused to eat
for fear that it had been poisoned.
Yet with patience and persistence, the
medical team was able to do miraculous
work. She recalled a young Iraqi soldier who
had received severe wounds that required
nine hours on the operating table.
“He was very fortunate to have a Canadian surgical team working for him and he
survived,” said Capt (N) Patterson.
Permanent changes in wartime healthcare were made through trial and error, born
from these experiences in the Gulf War.
The 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian
Regiment (1 RCR) and the 3rd Battalion,
The Royal Canadian Regiment (3 RCR) also
played an integral role in the mission, providing protection and support.
2 CMBG Sergeant Major Chief Warrant Officer Keith Olstad helped fill 100,000
sandbags and acquired 600 pieces of steel to
fortify the airfield, setting up machine guns
and digging trenches. It was hard work and
though he was sleeping in a five star hotel,
he never had the chance to use the amenities,
working 12 hours a day.
The troops had just a few days to prepare
before being sent abroad.
“We received very little workup training,” said Drill Sergeant Major Master Warrant Officer Scott Robinson.
Much of their training was centered on
weapons of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare, something the Iraqi army wasn’t
hesitant about using.
Even as the Iraqi Army was defeated,
they did not leave quietly.
“As the Iraqi Army withdrew they set the
oil fields on fire,” said MWO Robinson. “The
sky was so thick with the smoke and the sun
would not appear until around two o’clock
in the afternoon.”
1 Canadian Field Hospital, 1 RCR and 3
RCR joined 4,500 deployed soldiers in several locations including Qatar and Saudi
Arabia, with a peak of 2,700 personnel in the
Persian Gulf Region during hostilities.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990,
which prompted the Canadian Armed Forces to act in short order by committing ships,
an air task group, a joint headquarters and a
field hospital. It was the largest mission since
Korea and became an early model for joint
military commitments abroad.

Garrison Petawawa Cultural and
Diversity Festival will welcome
DND/CAF Eagle Staff
By Lisa Brazeau
Petawawa Post
The Department of National Defence (DND) and
Canadian Armed Forces
(CAF) Eagle Staff will be
among the many highlights
of the first Garrison Petawawa Cultural and Diversity
Festival (GPCDF) hosted by
the Garrison Petawawa Diversity and Employment Equity Advisory Group (PDEEAG) on Wednesday, Mar. 9.
The PDEEAG Committee has reached out to municipalities across the Ottawa Valley and Western
Quebec to attend and showcase their culture and diversity through the recognition
of the four sub groups of the
PDEEAG which include aboriginal peoples, visible minorities, women and persons
with disabilities.
The creation of the DND
and CAF Eagle Staff began
in 2002, with two former Aboriginal CAF members, Chief
Petty Officer 2nd Class (Retired) Debbie Eisan and Petty
Officer, 2nd Class (Retired)
Chris Innes. Their vision was
inspired by the desire to create
a powerful symbol of unity
among Aboriginal women
and men in the DND and
CAF, past and present.
Lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse, Commander
Canadian Army and Defence
Champion for Aboriginal
Peoples, was presented with
the Eagle Staff on June 17,
2015 in Ottawa during the
Defence Aboriginal Advisory Group’s (DAAG’s) 20th
anniversary celebration.
It has since become the
traveling emblem of the Aboriginal Peoples on the Defence Team. It is a reminder
that Canada will never forget the legacy of the First
Peoples. The Staff represents
traditional Aboriginal culture and clans, as well as traditional belief in spiritual entities, healing and reverence
for the Creator and all life.
“This Eagle Staff is a powerful emblem that reinforces
the values of inclusivity and
respect for all members of the
defence family, both past and
present,” said CPO2 (Ret’d)
Eisan. “It reminds us to recognize and value the ways
in which the unique cultural,
spiritual and traditional identities of the First Nations, Inuit
and Métis Peoples enrich the
military culture.”
The Staff must maintain
a visible presence at Aboriginal celebratory functions,
carried to events and ceremonies across the country
whenever requested.
In Petawawa, that honour
will belong to Master Warrant Officer Stanley Mercredi,
who will also present an educational briefing during the
open mic portion of the event.
“Being a proud Canadian
Armed Forces soldier for the
last 33.5 years and a First Nations member from Alberta,
it’s an emotional and humbling experience knowing
that I will have the honour of
taking care of this important
symbol of who we are, and
that during this event I will be
representing all past/present
Military and Civilian members of the Defence Team,”
said MWO Mercredi, a member of 2nd Regiment Royal
Canadian Horse Artillery.
Annually Garrison Petawawa plans a commemorative event focused on one
of the four sub-groups of the
PDEEAG. These events are
aimed at celebrating Aboriginal Awareness Week (May
19-22), International Day
for the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination (March 21),
International Women’s Day
(March 8), or International
Day for Persons with Disabilities (December 3).
“This is the first time the
Garrison has recognized all
four commemorative events
in one massive event and
we wanted to share this opportunity, not only with the
Defence Team at Garrison
Petawawa, but their families and the public as well.
Together we hope to experience some of the rich culture
and diversity that exists in
our communities,” said Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel Marc Gagné.
All of the communities in
Renfrew County and Western Quebec were invited to
participate at this inaugural
event by submitting a showcase style presentation of
their community that recognizes the four commemorative events.
The Garrison Petawawa
Cultural and Diversity Festival
will be held from 2 p.m. to 8
p.m at Dundonald Hall. It is a
free event, open to the public.

With the Renfrew County’s Canadian Cancer Society
17th Annual Relay for Life officially launched, the event’s
chairman issued a challenge
to all local military members:
join the Relay on June 3.
“To every military unit on
base, put a team in and see
which unit brings in the most
money,” said Mike Sibley.
“The money has to come
from somewhere, and if us
coming out for 12 hours at a
time, running around a track
brings in the money, then I’m
all for it,” he added.
Sibley is both a military
veteran and a Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma survivor. Both
he and co-chairwoman Lomie Coleman credit their
survival to state-of-the-art
stem cell treatments, something that only exists due to
relatively recent research.

“Who is to say that the
magic bullet is not sitting in
a box on a shelf today,” said
the former military member.
The Canadian Cancer
Society not only provides
life-saving research and
raises awareness, but also
provides local services to
better patients’ lives such as
Wheels of Hope. This program transports hundreds
of people to and from their
treatment in Ottawa, when
they may otherwise have to
skip their appointments.
“With money that we
raised we helped make a difference in the lives of over
230 people, right here locally,” said Jessica Khouri,
Renfrew County Community Fundraising Specialist for
the Canadian Cancer Society.
The Relay Reveal was
held at the Algonquin College Waterfront on Feb. 17,
offering the public a chance
to come down, sign up and
get a sneak peek at some of
the new activities and contests slated to occur at this
traditional fundraiser. It is
the organization’s largest
single fundraiser, raising $34
million in 331 communities
since its inception. Locally,
participants raised about
$166,000 in 2015. This year,
the goal is to bring in 600
participants and $155,000,
which “makes a huge impact
in the fight against cancer,”
said Khouri.
The Relay for Life has
been held at Garrison Petawawa since it was first instituted more than a decade
and a half ago. Equipment,
volunteer manpower and
the use of the facilities have
been graciously donated to
the organization, for which
Khouri is very grateful.

community,” said Site Spon-

On 3 February 16, 2
Service Battalion hosted
an event to mark the 48th
anniversary of the Logistics Branch.
The Logisticians of
Garrison Petawawa and 2
Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group took this opportunity to pause, reflect
and celebrate the history of
their trade with their peers
over cake and coffee.
The senior Logistics
Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Heilman, and Regimental Sergeant Major
Chief Warrant Officer
Galbrand, addressed the
gathering of approximately 200 personnel.
They noted the combined effort they had
seen from Logisticians
not only in 2 Service Battalion, but also those employed with First Line,
and Special Operations.
The event featured
presentations on each element’s history within in the
Logistics Branch by representatives from Transportation, Supply and Administration Companies.
The event was an
overall success and served
as a reminder of the importance of supporters in
our modern military and
through military history.
Nulli Secundus!
sor Representative Warrant
Officer Rick McCormack.
“We are there to provide
whatever support we can for
the members of the community, our neighbours.”
The event, though filled
with touching symbolism
and hints of grief, is an uplifting experience. There is a
sense of camaraderie beginning the very moment you
set foot on the field, from
the initial Survivors’ Lap, in
which cancer survivors take
to the track cheered on by
friends and family, to the last
one walking 12 hours later.
Activities are held throughout the night and a DJ will
be on scene, spinning tunes
until the sun rises. There will
also be a karaoke competition, games and a lot of coffee. People are also invited to
purchase luminaries in honour or memory of loved ones
who have fought the disease.
They adorn the track, acting
as a guiding light of hope, an
inspiration to those walking
or running.
“It is rare to find a family
now whose life has not been
touched by cancer,” said Coleman. “Somebody has a cous-
in, a sister, an uncle, an aunt,
a mother, a brother, a friend, a
coworker ... The Relay kind of
supports people emotionally.
There is something very moving about seeing people who
survived do that.”
She has attended the Relay as a team member, spectator and supporter, cheering on
former patients as they completed the Survivor’s Lap. Yet
as a long-time physician in
Pembroke, Coleman never expected to be on the “cold end
of the stethoscope.” Her diagnosis of multiple myeloma in
2013, a bone marrow cancer
that crowds out healthy blood
cells, came as a bit of a shock.
After an intense treatment involving stem cells, radiation
and chemotherapy, she feels
up to the challenge of doing
her own lap as the 2016 Honourary Survivor.
“We are there to celebrate
life and nobody celebrates
life sitting on a bench,” said
Coleman.

Winterlude is no longer confined to the Ottawa region now that 2 Combat Engineer Regiment (2 CER)
has held its own mini version. On Feb. 20, personnel transformed their yard and Brennan Lake with snow
sculptures, toboggan hills, forts, snowmobile rides, skating and shinny hockey as well as s’mores and snacks
around a bonfire. This wintery event was designed as a fun way to say thank you to the 2 CER extended
family and loved ones for all the support they’ve given over the years. Though such activities are held periodically throughout the year, it was the first time in memory that the unit held an event in the winter. Even
with the mild weather and light rain, the area was crawling with young families as they explored everything
this Winterlude Family Day had to offer. (Above) Private Chris Sohn quickly realizes that the puck is right

Both sides of B-Line Road
were lined with cars as far as
the eye could see as people
flocked to Forbes Stable for a
sleigh ride in support of the
War Horse Project.
Organizers had only anticipated a maximum of 150
people for the Sunday event,
but found themselves with
countless more. The sheer
number of supporters joining
in the free activities far sur-
passed their expectations.
“The turnout has just
been phenomenal,” said
Board of Director President
Angela Nancekivell. “It feels
great because every person
who has come out has donated something.”
She noted that all the donation bins scattered around
the property were weighed
down with coins, all of
which will be returned to the
project to help more Canadian Armed Forces members
and First Responders with
injuries and traumas, heal.
There was never a financial goal for the event.
Rather, it was an attempt to
raise awareness about the
equine-therapy program in a
fun way.
“It was just (something)
we did ... to give back to the
community,” said Nancekivell.
She added it was all put
together with the help of
an army of volunteers who
baked, advertised, supervised and made sure that
everybody was enjoying
themselves. The Eady and
Turner families also offered
their horse-led sleighs teams
to help trek families around
the snowy field.
“We all came together as
a group and it was very successful,” said Nancekivell.
Families from all over the
region came out to participate in horse and pony rides,
horse-drawn sleigh rides,
hot chocolate and treats as
well as attempted to skate on
the pond. Participants also
took the opportunity to get
up close and personal with
some of the horses who have
changed the lives of so many
project alumni.
The project was launched
on July 4, 2014 by Hope Reins
Equine Assisted Therapy
as a way to help Canadian
Armed Forces personnel and
first responders with posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). It has since grown
substantially, recently garnering a $25,000 grant from
Canadian Forces Morale and
Welfare Services (CFMWS),
which will allow eight more
participants to join per year.
It will be repeated over three
years.
“We are not even at our
two year mark and the support has been incredible,”
said Executive Director Alison Vandergragt.
It is an alternative style of
therapy, often helping those
that have felt let down from
traditional methods, she
noted. Many alumni report
that this program has saved
their lives, giving them control over their mental health
when nothing else did.
“We’ve always said from
day one that the War Horse
Project is not the be all to
end all for any therapy program, but it is a great addition,” said Vandergragt.
She added the horses
and participants develop
deep bonds and connect in a
way that cannot be planned
or anticipated.
The organization’s next
event will be the first ever
Horses and Heroes Gala,
held on March 4 at the Petawawa Golf Club. It will
feature Retired Major General Lewis MacKenzie as the
keynote speaker.
“It is really exciting that
he will be out with us for the
gala,” said Vandergragt.

Operation TRILLIUM RESPONSE PAO
Operation
TRILLIUM
RESPONSE 16 (Op TR 16)
was supposed to be cold.
Considering that one of the
main objectives of this year’s
field training was to conduct
operations in remote areas
and austere conditions, it
is unlikely that any of the
participating soldiers could
expect anything less. The
Polar Vortex that descended
from the Arctic Circle to chill
soldiers living in arctic tents
set a new standard for what
many soldiers would consider chilly.
From 6 to 26 February,
2016, 900 Regular and Reserve force soldiers from
Central Canada did precisely what was expected of
them and rose to the challenge of operating in these
harsh Canadian conditions.
Developing their abilities to
command, move, shoot and
communicate in this harsh
climate, soldiers sharpened
their resiliency and showcased their readiness to
carry out their duties in any
terrain or climate.
Another critical objective
of the three week Operation
was connecting and interacting with remote northern
locations. To that end, every
Canadian Armed Forces unit
on Op TR 16 deployed to a
community – 14 in total –
ranging from the Land Component Command (LCC)
based out of Pickle Lake to
the Immediate Reaction Unit
(IRU) based in Fort Severn.
The Joint Task Force Central IRU is currently drawn
from 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (2
CMBG). The IRU’s mandate
is to provide a robust initial
response to a domestic emergency in order to save lives,
prevent human suffering
and mitigate property damage; a task that needs to be
achievable in any weather or
conditions. This readiness
was exercised as the IRU dispersed centrally on Op TR16
in the communities of Fort
Hope, King Fisher Lake, Fort

The Arctic Response
Company Groups (ARCG) is
a Primary Reserve task that
improves the Arctic response
capability of the Army and
enhances sovereignty in the
high North. The 4th Canadian Division (4 Cdn Div)
ARCG task has been assigned to The Grey and Simcoe Foresters who spent the
Operation in Fort Albany,
Kashechewan,
Moosonee
and Attawapiskat. 32 Canadian Brigade Group, based
out of Toronto, meanwhile,
deployed one Domestic Response Company (DRC)
each to Sachigo Lake, Muskrat Dam and Weagamow.
CAF elements on Op TR
16 also benefitted from the
experience and knowledge
of the Canadian Rangers.
These dedicated, knowledgeable members of the Army
worked closely with units in
each of their communities,
sharing intimate knowledge
of the land and the ways
of Northern life with their
“Southern” colleagues.
When asked what made
Op TR 16 an Operation vis
a field exercise, Brigadier
General Lowell Thomas,
Commander of 4 Cdn Div,
described the Operation in
terms of outreach. Working
with the community, Rangers and other Government
partners and organizations
is the crux of what made this
an Operation and not your
standard FTX. The skills soldiers have sharpened over
the past weeks have gone a
long way towards the regeneration of the CAF’s winter
soldiering expertise.
The
relationships that have been
fostered and nurtured training above the 50th parallel
will continue to strengthen
the CAF’s ties to the North.

Wraps come off new No Frills in Pembroke
By Bruce Peever
Petawawa Post
With a promise of quality
products at value prices, the
new No Frills opened Feb. 19
in Pembroke’s West End Mall.
Store owners Tony and Jill
McLaughlin promise freshness of product at a great
price. Part of how that’s possible is due to not having a
butcher or baker on site, according to Jill.
Originally from Bowmanville, just east of Toronto, the owners said they
picked the Pembroke-Petawawa area based on two
factors — the friendliness
of people here and the spectacular scenery.
“We’ve always said that
a small town is where we
would like to end up and
raise a family. We have a
house purchased here and
we will move in two weeks,”
Jill explains.
Located at the former Riverside Moncion the 28,000
square foot grocery employs
five full time and 65 part
time staff, the majority of
whom were employed at the
former store. Tony said this
familiarity with customers
will go a long way toward

forming strong bonds with
the community.
Al Tornatore, Group Director with No Frills Eastern Ontario said the No Frills motto
is to enhance people’s lives by
saving them money on food.
“At No Frills we have
quality, fresh produce all the
time at the best price and
this is the same day in and
day out, Tornatore told staff
before the doors opened.
“Take a look at this store
today and how it looks. We
always want to have clean,
fresh produce, and that our
aisles are clean.”
“There is no such thing
as a bad customer but there
are customers who might be
having a bad day. Our job is
not to make it worse,” Tornatore added.

Town employee
completes AMCTO training
With about 40 per cent of municipal staff in Ontario ready to retire in the next five years, retention of trained staff has become a
growing concern. To remedy this fact, the Town of Petawawa is
constantly encouraging its staff members to further their education
and training. Amy Giberson, Administrative Support/Receptionist, heard the call loud and clear. She took the initiative and successfully completed the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers
of Ontario (AMCTO) Municipal Administration Program. CAO/

United against bullying - spreading kindness on Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day, held this year on February 24, encourages everyone to
openly express that “Kindness is one size fits all.” A number of community businesses and organizations sported pink shirts to support
the anti-bullying initiative that, since 2008, has raised over $1.2 million granted to non-profit organizations including Boys & Girls Clubs,
Red Cross RespectED Violence Prevention Program and Kids Help
Phone. These programs teach children empathy, kindness and the importance of building healthy relationships - both with themselves and
their peers. Pictured are just a few of the participants: (left row photos,

Phoenix Centre named local lead
agency for new mental health system
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
“Moving on Mental
Health” is a new provincial
system linking mental health
agencies to provide children
and youth with more efficient services.
In Renfrew County, the
Phoenix Centre for Children and Families was designated as the lead and has
been linked with 33 other
agencies. A web conference
was held on Feb. 16, led by
Phoenix Centre Executive
Director Greg Lubimiv, to
discuss the steps needed to
streamline the delivery of
mental health services. This
will include the creation of
a community engagement
plan and a mental health
strategy to guarantee every
single child and youth will
receive the necessary service
at the right time.
“Our responsibility now
is not just to move forward
and make decisions, but to
incorporate discussions and
input from all the stakeholders in the community to be
able to build what core services is going to look like,”
said Lubimiv.
“When any youth or
family or child is experiencing an issue, whether you are
a doctor, a teacher, a parent
or the youth themselves, you
need to know exactly where
to go,” he added.
The Ontario Ministry of
Children and Youth Services
is overseeing this system,
looking at it closely to ensure that services are available equally to all, including
aboriginal and francophone
youth. It is a huge endeavour
to make sure it is a successful process. Responsibility
will be delegated at the local level and leads, like the
Phoenix Centre, will be held
accountable for the planning
and delivery of services.
Patrick Mitchell is the
acting project director for the
system transition team with
the Ministry who took part
in the conference from Toronto. He noted previously
mental health care for young
people was a patchwork
quilt of different agencies offering similar services, but
mostly working independently of each other.
“You could go to different places across the
province and you would
get different services,” said
Mitchell. “People had dif-
Phoenix Centre Executive Director Greg Lubimiv was in charge of
the “Moving on Mental Health” online conference on Feb. 16. Thirty
three mental health agencies attended the virtual meeting to learn more
about the new system. (Photo by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
ficulty finding their way to
the right service in a timely
way.”
There has typically been
a lack of connection between
agencies; something that
“Moving on Mental Health”
will tackle. Having a lead
agency in charge of organization will help children,
youth and their families navigate the system with ease,
quickly knowing where to
go for help. Other agencies
such as school boards and
health care providers will
also have a simpler path to
navigate when looking to
collaborate on projects or to
build partnerships.
The ultimate goal of this
system is simple; it is to offer
a clear path to children and
their families with mental
health issues “so that regardless about where they live
in Ontario, they will know
what mental health services
are available and how to access them, that’s really it,”
said Mitchell.
To achieve this goal,
the ministry has instituted
a few key building blocks.
More than 770 new mental
health professionals have
been hired, 31 lead agencies
have been chosen across the
province, and $425 million
has been put into safe school
and inclusive programming.
This will allow more than
1,000 additional psychiatric consultations per year,
more than 1,000 phone calls
to help lines per month and
ensure more than 50,000 children and youth are getting
the services they need.
Lubimiv acknowledges
that revamping the regional
mental health system is not
going to be an instantaneous
process. They have, however, given themselves a
deadline of March 31 to complete a draft community engagement plan to help guide
them in their endeavours.
“It is only the plan for the
plan, which is really just the
architectural design,” said
Lubimiv.
This will be further
shaped through community
consultation so that a strategic plan for children and
youth’s mental health will be
created and implemented by
March 2017. It will be further
refined as needed.
Some key pieces have
already been identified such
as creating equitable access
throughout the county for
core services, removing the
confusion about where to go
for help and the creation of
a database to collect statistics to evaluate what the area
needs.
There are still many unknowns, confirmed Lubimiv.
But he is confident that within two years, there will be a
transparent, quality mental
health system in Renfrew
County for young people.
Family-Friendly Winter Activities To Enjoy
Many people may run indoors when the temperatures
outside dip below freezing.
But the truly adventurous
see no reason why a little
cold weather should keep
them cooped up indoors for
months at a time.
Sports and other physical
activities can provide the
perfect respite from the cabin
fever that can settle in during
long winters. Families looking to get some quality time
outdoors together this winter
can enjoy a host of activities
in the great outdoors, even if
the temperatures are a tad on
the chilly side.
• Sledding: Sledding may
remind adults of their childhoods and turn kids’ snow
days into fun afternoons they
will never forget. Kids can
seemingly ride their sleds
and toboggans down snowy
hills all day long, but even
parents get a kick out of racing kids downhill or sharing
a sled with their youngsters.
While older kids can typically handle sleds on their own,
parents should ride along
with toddlers to prevent falls
and handle steering duties.
When sledding, keep a close
eye for any signs that suggest kids might be getting
too cold, such as shivering
or clothes that are soaked
through.
• Snowshoeing: Parents
may not know that many
retailers sell snowshoes for
children. While snowshoeing can be physically demanding, it’s also a fun way
for families that like family
walks to continue those traditions even if there are a
few inches of snow on the
ground. Make sure kids are
bundled up, paying extra
attention to their footwear.
Kids will enjoy snowshoeing more if their boots are
both comfortable and ca-
Let your child’s imagination run wild with
our incredible range of indoor activities.
Whether your kids want to bump, climb,
crash, crawl, putt, swing, slide, play
or explore, our indoor facility is a safe,
colourful environment that’s fun and
excitement for the whole family.

pable of keeping their feet
warm.
• Snowman building:
Perhaps no outdoor winter
activity is more conducive
to family fun than building
a snowman. The season’s
first substantial snowfall
provides the perfect opportunity for parents and
their children to start building some snowmen. While
“snowman building” is unlikely to find its way onto
any gym schedules, building a snowman provides a
great workout. Lifting snow
is great strength training,
while pushing snow to form
Frosty’s body is a great way
to get in some cardiovascular exercise.
• Skiing and snowboarding: The earlier youngsters
start skiing and/or snowboarding, the more likely
such activities will prove
second nature. Many resorts offer skiing and snowboarding lessons to kids and
adults, so parents can book
weekend getaways for the
family to nearby resorts and
foster a love of winter sports.
While it’s tempting to
huddle up indoors when
winter hits full swing, families who embrace the great
outdoors when the temperatures dip can avoid cabin fever and enjoy one another’s
company along the way.

Women’s Hockey Championships held in Petawawa
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
It was a weekend of intense ice time, athleticism
and dedication at the 2016
Ontario Region Women’s
Ice Hockey Championships,
held at Garrison Petawawa.
Teams from Borden,
Kingston, Trenton and Petawawa competed against
one another to be crowned
the ultimate winners during
the championships. After
three days of play, the Borden team prevailed and was
crowned the winner after defeating Petawawa 4-1 in the
last game on Feb. 21.
“My congratulations goes
out to the four teams that are
here, that participated,” said
Garrison Petawawa Deputy
Commander Lieutenant Colonel Scott Campbell. “... It is a
great privilege for us in the
military to take part in so much
physical activity, so well done
for participating and compet-

ing at such a high level.”
He and 4 CDSG Formation Sergeant Major Chief
Warrant Officer Bill Richards presided over the opening ceremonies on Friday
evening. They both share a
strong belief in the benefits of
military sports, noting these
types of activities promote
esprit de corps and camaraderie by building discipline,
leadership skills, teamwork
and a healthy body.
CWO Richards was a
hockey player himself earlier
in his career and personally
knows how hard these women had to work to get so far.
“It’s a dedication to our
sports that allows us to carry
on,” he said. “We never want
to lose sports in the Canadian Armed Forces. It is a huge
thing.”
This championship has
been a long time tradition in
the military.
“It is an honour to host,”
said Military Sports Coordinator Rebecca Olstad. “And
to see these four teams within our region be represented.
It is a great feat.”
“The athletes that we see
are dedicated,” she added.

their own equipment for
the first time just to be part
of this team. They bonded.
They play together outside
of the sport and together on
the ice, so it is great.”
Olstad pointed out these
hockey players are soldiers
first. Many of them have had
to balance career responsibilities, field exercises, restrictions
and such in order to play. Yet
their units, officers and peers
typically support them.
“Our units as a whole
have been really good to
return those time-off re-
quests,” she said.
It would have been impossible to run the tournament without the military’s
support or the help of hardworking volunteers such
as the referees, timekeepers
and first aiders, she added.
“These people have all
stood up and assisted with
this,” said Olstad. “They’ve
given up their weekend with
family and friends to do this.”
In the first game, Petawawa won against Kingston 9-0.
Borden won 3-1 against Trenton in the second game. Tren-
ton won in a shootout against
Kingston in the third game,
tying at 1-1. Petawawa faced
off Borden, but lost 4-4 during a shootout. The fifth game
saw Petawawa win against
Trenton 5-1 while Borden won
5-0 against Kingston in the
sixth game. In the semi-finals,
it was 7-5 in the Borden vs
Kingston game and Petawawa won 2-1 against Trenton.
After defeating Petawawa, Borden will be going
on to the nationals in midMarch, which will be held in
their hometown.

What a Busy 2015 the Swallows Had!
By Gloria Bateman
Changes in the Club Executive were announced at our annual Christmas Pot-Luck
Dinner and Dance. Last spring, in an effort to
fill the VP position, we asked for volunteers
and we are thankful to Doug and Liz Kranz for
stepping up! We shuffled, in a voluntary way,
folks around and now we have our new Executive as follows, from the left in the picture.
Doug and Liz Kranz, Communications
Conveners; Andy Himberg-Larsen (our
caller), Shallan Dament, our President; Mary
Dament, Social Convener; Bill Shields, new
VP; myself, Gloria Bateman, Advertizing
and Publicity, and my husband, Doug who
does all the running around and putting up
posters, etc, on the extreme right; Renton
Patterson, our Treasurer; Ben Weatherbie,
Past President; and last but not least, Wendy
Shields, our new Secretary.
Some of our dancers received a special
mention, many thanks and a badge dangle,
at the Christmas festivities: Wendy Shields
for making our new banner, and recognizing
that she also made banners for our Christmas
float (when we participate); Renton Patterson
for his never-ending efforts to help dancers.
In this case, for selecting CDs that are appropriate for our demonstrations and helping
to make the dancers comfortable by hosting
‘workshops’ in his home or in the Hall; and
Andy Himberg-Larsen for helping to keep our
Plus Level dancers challenged by suggesting
the Plus level begin dancing at an earlier hour
and continuing to engage the Plus dancers and
raise their level of skill.
We had a busy 2015 and we loved it! We
danced at nursing homes, at retirement residences (in Pembroke and Ottawa), we ‘performed’ at Petawawa’s 150th Anniversary
Celebrations, and at Carefor’s fund raiser Hoe
Down. We invited EOSARDA Clubs to join us
in the park to dance as part of Pembroke’s ‘Waterfront Live’ program and dancers filled the
Amphitheatre! We performed a well-received
demo at a ‘Dessert and Dance’ that was held
in the Fellowship Hall where the Swallows
dance each week. Some of us have visited the
Bay Waves Club in Constance Bay a few times
and, of course, we’ve seen to it that some of our
new dancers attended the Half Way Dance in
Carleton Place. We had five new dancers register in October and they’re doing grrrreat! And
another six joined us in January. They, too, are

great …. enthusiastic and fun.
Dancers came together to ‘fill’ a Christmas stocking to provide funds for a family in
need at Christmas time, through the Wesley
United Church.
If you’re interested in seeing just what
modern square dancing is, come to 275 Pembroke Street East, 7 pm most Thursday evenings and have a look. We host various demonstrations and fun events where you can get
up and try the moves with us. And you can
come out to our next Open Houses which
will be in September. Check us out at www.
getupanddance.ca, and call 613 628-9777 for
more information and to be sure we’ll be
dancing the night you decide to visit!
We’ve had a great year, and with the addition of new dancers, we’re planning for
lots of fun in the coming year. Will 2016
bring you into a square?

Study determines Petawawa

By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Forming an independent seniors’

Town of Petawawa has to undertake
to achieve its goals of becoming an
age-friendly community.
This recommendation came out
of a study conducted by Shercon Associates, which looked into ways of
making the town a more active and
welcoming place for seniors to live.
This study included the formation
of a steering committee, interviews,
two separate surveys, focus groups,
workshops and community forums.
Throughout the process, information
was gathered from stakeholders and
businesses, political leaders as well as
service providers for an age-friendly
community plan that was presented
to council by Consultant Doctor David Sheridan on Feb. 16.
According to Dr. Sheridan, a seniors’ council will be key to making
the plan sustainable. This group will
oversee the ongoing development,
implementation and monitoring of
the town’s age-friendly plan.
“This would be a community-based
council,” Sheridan said, noting it would
consist of seniors, municipal representation and key service providers.
In addition to the creation of this
council, Sheridan provided the results and recommendations derived
from the six-month review.
An age-friendly community will require appropriate outdoor spaces and
buildings, affordable housing, available transportation, social and recreational activities, available health care
and ultimately a rich community life.
The results showed that Petawawa is a relatively welcoming place for
seniors, yet it still lacks accessibility,
transportation and affordable housing.
“Consistently their biggest issue
was housing,” said councillor Theresa
Sabourin. “I realize that there is a recommendation to look at the low hanging fruit and quick wins, but I think
we would be quite remiss if we didn’t
identify that housing is still a pretty serious issue,” she said.
She added the topic needs to be
fleshed out as affordability varies for
everyone. Even as Riverview Apartments plans to build 14 more units
with its $2 million grant, finding a
place to live remains a challenge.
“It’s a very expensive issue as well
to get to what the federal government
considers as affordable,” said Mayor
Bob Sweet. “... Obviously the municipality cannot be the provider of all
that. We just don’t have the tax base
or the revenue to do that.”
There has to be a national or provincial help to address this problem,
he said.
The study also looked at different mobility levels, from completely
independent to those requiring 24hour care. The plan will have to take
that into consideration as needs vary
widely.
“It will make things much easier
and more targeted as you move forward
to implementation,” said Sheridan.
The plan should remain a living
document, staying in perpetual draft
form so that it can be changed and altered when the need arises, he added.
It should act as a guideline to bring
together efforts and coordinated partnerships.
“Something that moves and flexes
with changes in your community,”
said Sheridan.
Creating an inclusive community
doesn’t have to be expensive either.
“In fact, there is even potential for
some resource saving through cost
sharing coordination that will likely
come up as the various partners come
together in rolling out the plan,” said
Sheridan.
The development of a concrete plan
will be built from this review. Councillor Treena Lemay acknowledged that
none of the problems will be solved
overnight and will require followthrough. She does believe that supporting the creation of a seniors’ council
will make things easier to implement.
“We have a lot of enthusiastic,
qualified, interested seniors that have
indicated their support for being a
participant on a seniors’ advisory
committee,” said Lemay.

Bathroom renos continue to top lists
$289,000
(NC) Home renovations
continue to be important
investments for Canadians,
According to a recent report
by Scotiabank, Canadians
Private Sale: Waterview family home in
Brighton, Ont. 10 mins from Trenton Air Force

spent over $53 billion on
home improvements in 2015,
and this trend is likely to
continue.
For homeowners considering renovations this year,
adding value is a common
concern. Bathroom, along
with kitchen renovations,
top the list of the most valuable projects with an expected return of five to six times
the cost, according to Genworth Canada.
Upflush toilet systems,
like those offered by Saniflo,
are great options for homeowners looking to maximize
their return on a bathroom
addition because of their
comparatively low installation costs. These systems can
be quickly installed on top of
any finished surface and do
not require a rough in. This
allows homeowners to install a half or full bathroom
for a fraction of the cost,
wherever it is most convenient, whether it is in a basement, attic or garage, under
the stairs or inside a newly
remodelled space.
These systems process
water through the back of
the toilet instead of under
the concrete. Toilet paper
and waste is broken down
using a rotating blade, so
it can be pumped away
through a 3/4 to 1-inch
pipe to a connecting drain
stack. The advantage of using a small-diameter pipe is
that that drain lines can be
installed without breaking
walls and concrete, which
reduces renovation mess and
installation time.
More information on upflush toilet systems is available online at www.saniflo.

Don’t be left in the cold
(NC) You wake up one
Saturday morning shivering, and realize you can’t
hear your furnace running.
Do you know what to do if
you find your home suddenly without heat?
Enbridge Gas Distribution wants you to consider
taking a few steps yourself,
before reaching out to your
certified heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) contractor.
These eight steps could
save you time and money:
• Make sure your thermostat is turned to heat –
not cool or off. This switch
can be accidently moved to
the wrong position during
cleaning or dusting.
• Check that the vents
throughout your house are
not blocked by furniture or
rugs.
• Turn your thermostat
up a few degrees to see if the
heating system kicks in.
• Take a walk outside
your home to make sure that
your appliance vents are not
blocked with snow or ice.
As a safety precaution, some
furnaces will automatically
turn off if vents are blocked.

• Locate your home’s
main electrical panel and
check that your fuses haven’t
blown. If you have a circuit
breaker, try resetting it.
• When was the last time
you replaced or cleaned your
furnace filter? A dirty filter
can hinder your furnace’s
ability to heat your home.
It should be replaced or
cleaned every three months.
• Double check that your
furnace’s power switch is in
the ‘on’ position. This is usually located on your furnace
or on a wall nearby and looks
like a regular light switch.
• Is the power out? Most
furnaces require electricity
to operate – even if you heat
your home using natural gas.
If none of these steps fix
the problem, it’s time to call
your certified HVAC contractor to diagnose the issue.
