No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
C
Where
did
you
ring
thanks
for
coming
out?
Just
you,
you
spoke
about
to
the
programs
that
you
run
one
with
essentially
an
outreach
program
with
the
schools
yep
and
then
the
other
is
is
a
program
that
you
ran
with
Ottawa
paramedics,
yeah
and
train
the
trainer
approach
yeah,
so
so
Mike.
My
question
is
the
same
for
both.
Did
you
receive
funding
from
the
autumn
of
paramedic
service
for
the
service
that
you
provided
and
do
you
receive
funding
from
the
school
boards
for
the
service
you
provide
to
the
local
schools
great.
A
A
The
paramedics
did
make
a
contribution
that
helped
cover
some
of
our
staff
costs
and
travel,
but
mostly
it
just
covered
the
no
taxi
or
bus
fare
to
and
from
paramedics
headquarters,
which
was
awesome
and
we
have
zero
complaints
about
it.
In
fact,
when
city
services,
whether
it's
the
archives
or
the
library
or
you
know,
the
firefighters
asked
us
to
do,
workshops
we're
always
there.
You
know
arts
asked
us
to
do
some
consultation
services
to
help
them
make
their
stuff
more
gender-neutral
same
with
city
recognition
services.
A
We
do
it
for
free
we're,
not
doing
it
to
make
a
buck,
but
we're
at
a
point
right
now,
where
our
service
is,
is
really
bursting
at
the
seams
and
we're
hitting
a
point
where
you
know
when
the
Osgood
Township
community
was
like
we
need
to
drop
in
for
LGBTQ
people.
We
were
like
this
is
really
hard
for
us
to
like
manifest
with
volunteers
and
and
community
folk,
and
so
we're
really
struggling.
A
It's
preventing
us
from
really
serving
the
communities
that
we
need
to
serve
and
the
people
that
we
need
to
help
and
so
creating
the
on-ramp
would
address
a
lot
of
those
concerns.
It
would
make
our
city
stronger
and
better
I,
don't
want
to
compare
Ottawa
to
other
cities,
but,
like
you
know,
Winnipeg
gives
their
LGBTQ
community
organizations
over
two
million
dollars
every
year
compared
ibly.
The
City
of
Ottawa
is
just
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
to
all
of
the
LGBTQ
services
through
five
organizations.
A
C
Follow-Up
question
on
the
on
the
funding
you
received
from
the
provincial
ministry:
education.
So
do
they
provide
you
with
a
block
fee
or
do
they
provide
you
on
a
fee
for
service,
in
other
words,
to
get
X
amount
of
dollars
for
every
school
that
you
go
to
or
you've
given,
and
they
were
and
has
that
number
that
you
get
from
the
province
increased
as
you've
gone
to
more
schools?
So
the
answer.
A
A
But
to
be
honest,
what
we're
asking
for
you
is
not
for
that,
like
we
wanted
to
serve
the
city
and
support
city
services
right.
What
happens
in
a
school?
Has
you
guys
want
paper
and
I
would
never
ask
you
to
that's
gross
wasting
city
money
is
bad,
very
bad,
they're
laughing,
but
I'm
soldier,
serious
I.
Don't
know
why
that's
funny,
okay,
you're,
not
gonna!
Forget
me.
Are
you
thanks?
Thanks
for
your
candor?
B
B
Next
speaker
is
in
Gadbois
from
ski
heritage.
East
and
I
noticed
that
Jean
LePage
version
on
the
badge,
Alex
Alexa,
Brewer
and
Lyle
fair,
are
all
speaking
on
the
same
topic.
I,
don't
know
if
you
wanted
to
come
up
together
or
not,
but
you're
welcome
to
I'll
come
together.
If
you
would
like,
okay
mister
get
wha,
why
don't
you
just
kick
this
off?
Okay,.
E
Good
morning,
Madame
chair
and
councilmembers
a
bit
of
a
hard
act
to
follow
Jeremy
I'm,
afraid
I
can't
live
up
to
those
expectations.
I'm
here
to
talk
about
another
approach
to
health
and
well-being
of
Ottawa
citizens,
I'm
from
ski
heritage.
East
we're
a
not-for-profit
organization
in
the
east
of
Ottawa,
as
the
name
would
imply,
and
the
project
being
impro
proposed
is
a
professional
grooming
of
an
eight
kilometer
trail
along
the
river
in
the
East
End
of
Ottawa
from
Greene's
Creek
to
trim
road.
E
The
trail
would
roughly
follow
the
paved
path
used
in
summer
for
biking
and
walking.
Grooming
would
facilitate
multi-purpose
winter
recreation,
including
classic
and
skate
skiing,
snowshoeing,
fad
biking
and
walking.
We
did
do
a
two-week
trial
in
this
spring
to
demonstrate
both
the
technical
expertise,
the
capability
and
the
fact
that
the
community
would
come
out,
and
those
of
you
who
don't
like
snow,
probably
remember
with
this
stage
the
two
big
dumps
we
had
in
spring
last
year,
but
they
work
to
our
benefit.
We
were
able
to
groom
that
trail
and
the
community
has
flocked
to
it.
E
It
was
incredible
to
see
grooming
would
also
maximize
the
number
of
days
that
the
trail
could
be
used
open
for
use
with
a
possible
season
of
90
days
or
more
far,
more
than
outdoor
skating,
rinks,
the
Canal
or
non
groomed
trails.
The
budget
we're
requesting
from
the
city
is
forty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
detailed
in
a
document
previous
previously
submitted
to
the
and
it's
based
on
an
estimate
from
a
professional
grooming
company.
So
we
know
exactly
how
that
money
would
be
spent.
We
will
also
be
seeking
money
from
other
sources.
E
E
This
eight
kilometer
trail
would
become
a
significant
asset
for
Orleans,
as
well
as
adding
to
the
national
capitals
existing
network
of
a
winter
recreational
opportunities
for
a
modest
investment.
The
city
would
open
up
this
trail
along
the
Ottawa
River
for
four
seasons.
This
trail
would
appeal
to
and
be
easily
accessible
to,
children,
families
and
residents
of
all
ages.
This
could
become
part
of
a
citywide
network
of
winter
trails
to
support
the
act
of
living
policies
of
the
city.
This
is
an
investment,
an
infrastructure
that
will
support
the
city's
endeavors
to
build
a
healthy
community.
F
B
F
F
If
one
includes
the
late
fall
and
early
spring
in
between
seasons,
winter
is
a
long
long
season.
How
can
we
make
it
more
enjoyable?
The
long
list
of
health
and
fitness
benefits
we
have
identified
in
the
printouts
that
were
already
submitted
show
that
almost
everyone
can
benefit
from
a
multi-use
winter
trail.
The
winter
trail
is
all-inclusive
and
available
to
everyone.
At
the
same
time,
without
restrictions,
this
inclusivity
will
facilitate
the
integration
of
newcomers
to
Canada.
F
Very
importantly,
it
is
a
venue
where
children
and
youth
will
be
given
the
opportunity
to
socialise
and
become
sitter
without
a
doubt.
Ottawa
is
one
of
the
best
places
to
live
in
the
world.
Yet,
let's
take
a
brief
moment
to
look
at
the
dark
side.
We've
just
talked
about
that.
We
too
have
merged
marginalized
groups.
It
is
saddening
to
note
that
some
of
our
children
and
youth
will
drift
away
from
the
mainstream.
F
They
will
fall
in
a
vicious
circle
for
a
variety
of
reasons:
low
self-esteem,
unable
to
resist
peer
pressure,
substance,
abuse,
lack
of
moral
guidance,
gang
membership
and
all
the
other
cause
that
you
know
all
too
well.
They
fall
through
the
cracks
in
our
system
because
they
fall
into
the
cracks
of
our
system
into
a
black
hole.
F
F
Yeah
cross-country
skiing
is
not
a
panacea,
but
there
are
butterfly
effect
moments.
All
of
us
can
pinpoint
butterfly
effect
moments
in
their
lives.
I
teachers
remarkable
a
book.
Look
a
compliment.
A
smile,
these
moments
create
virtuous
circles,
sometimes
leading
to
the
I
feel
good
in
Ottawa
in
the
wintertime
syndrome
where
children
and
youth
can
flourish.
F
F
I
have
one
here
from
our
pilot
project
last
spring,
an
old
fellow
walking
on
the
pathway,
hand-in-hand
with
it's
grandson,
talking
man-to-man,
who
knows
about
what
the
just
the
cross-country
maniac
dressed
like
an
alien
with
downhill
goggles
and
a
small
breathing
hole,
braving
impossible
conditions,
20
degrees,
Celsius,
weather,
high
wind,
chill
factor.
If
you
took
one
hour
to
hot
wax
his
skis
to
get
the
perfect
Glide.
F
And
finally,
skiing
easily,
in
the
late
afternoon,
after
a
freezing
rain
episode,
has
a
Sun
is
setting
and
casting
a
reddish
glow
across
the
sky.
Suddenly,
a
gazillion
flashes
of
light
are
scattered
in
all
directions:
the
forest
lights
up
surpassing
all
the
splendors
of
Versailles,
confirming
my
lifetime
nature
lover
and
tree
hugger
membership.
F
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
committee
members.
Can
you
hear
me?
Thank
you.
The
question
I
would
like
to
address
is
whether
there's
sufficient
community
support
and
benefit
to
warrant
this
investment.
You
can
tell
we
are
clearly
cross-country
ski
advocates,
but
there
are
many
different
kinds
of
investments
to
a
community
or
benefits
to
a
community.
G
We
received
thousands
of
responses
through
our
Facebook
and
email
over
the
past
six
weeks,
endorsing
this
initiative,
Oh
overwhelming
it
averaged
about
a
thousand
per
week
over
the
past
six
weeks,
the
support
from
spans
our
four
community
associations
of
the
East
End
wards
who
together
represent
about
200
residents.
This
has
been
strong,
strong
support.
They
published
in
their
newsletters
in
their
or
blackburn
hamlet,
banner
they've,
sent
in
written
endorsements
and
they've,
also
I
think
mailed
a
lot
of
emails
to
the
councillors.
G
However,
the
main
beneficiary
of
this
investment
I
think
it's
John
has
alluded
to
maybe
the
children
and
youth
of
our
community
right
now
there
are
limited
opportunities
within
Orleans
for
kids
outside
of
hockey.
We
have
four
secondary
and
five
elementary
schools
within
close
proximity
to
this
proposed
trail.
We've
got
we've
named
the
schools
for
those
that
aren't
that
familiar
with
the
East
End,
the
high
schools
include
st.
Matt's
Beatrice
de
l'arche,
Cano
Karine,
Wilson
and
Karine.
Wilson
is
a
good
example
of
why
this
is
a
beneficial
endeavor
for
the
whole
community.
G
Karine
will
literally
back
onto
this
proposed
trail.
All
of
the
high
schools
run
outdoor
phys,
ed
winter
programs,
particularly
supporting
cross-country
ski
clubs.
Korean
is
outstanding
in
this.
They
support
a
Nordic
Ski
Team
and
they
have
also
offered
to
become
an
access
point
for
all
of
the
feeder
schools
in
the
community
and
support
racing
and
time
trials
with
the
high
school
skiing,
Association,
Athletic
Association,
so
they're
not
offering
passive
endorsement
they're
willing
to
work
with
us
help
run
ski
clinics
and
really
get
into
the
promotion
to
as
many
people
as
possible.
G
G
There
are
also
others
who
will
benefit
from
the
betrayal
apart
from
the
individual,
cross-country,
skiers
or
snow
shores
or
walkers,
and
most
of
these
beneficiaries
draw
their
membership
from
across
the
city.
I'm
talking
about
the
Ottawa,
Ski
Club,
so
clubs,
for
example,
the
ordnungs
Nordic
Ski
Club
women
on
skis,
talk
and
my
favorites
ohrid,
which
is
seniors
over
50
in
training
and
cross
country
ski
Ottawa.
They
have
all
been
more
than
enthusiastic
about
supporting
this
also
cross
training
for
other
sports.
G
They
have
a
membership
of
over
600
people
all
were
really
in
supportive
and
enthusiastic
to
learn
that
there
could
be
an
alternative
ski
area
to
continue
their
training,
we're
not
competing
with
what
already
exists.
It's
very
much
seen
as
an
addition
to
a
citywide
network.
Now,
on
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum,
this
trail
also
will
offer
a
safe,
accessible
path
for
seniors
during
the
long
long
winter
months.
Recognizing
this,
we
now
have
a
really
strong
ally
in
the
blue
year
village
to
support
and
produce
the
initiative
for
residents.
G
A
groomed
trail
is
a
safe
trail
for
residents
to
walk
on.
The
need
is
clear,
but
this
type
of
infrastructure
simply
does
not
exist.
In
Orleans
area,
I've
been
a
member
community
member
of
Orleans
for
over
40
years,
I
have
been
waiting
a
long
long
time.
What
we
are
doing
asking
is
your
help
in
building
this
8
kilometer
winter
lineal
Park
across
the
audible
River
as
part
of
a
citywide
winter
resource
for
active
living.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
To
our
so
much
shut-in
during
the
winter,
and
it
maybe
just
provide
that
half
an
hour
outside
and
I'd
like
to
quote
from
a
scientific
study,
called
our
brain
on
nature.
A
15-minute
walk
in
the
woods
causes
measurable
changes
in
physiology
and
provides
psychological
benefits.
This
proposal
would
be
a
relatively
small
investment
for
significant
improvements
in
livability.
B
H
If
Smitham,
because
they'll
do
thank
you
for
being
here
this
morning,
cross-country
ski
is
really,
in
my
mind,
picked
up
in
recent
years
in
Ottawa
for
years
and
years,
people
who
just
crossed
into
the
gatineau
park
and
and
now
we're
seeing
folks
that
take
advantage
of
our
trails
and
our
our
landscape
on
the
ottawa
side.
So
kudos
to
you
for
coming
to
committee
today
before
my
question,
I'll
just
preface
by
I,
believe
the
problem
starts
with
the
federal
government
and
you're
gonna
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna.
Think
it's
weird
but
I'll,
explain
very
briefly.
H
Sports
Canada,
which
is
a
lot
of
the
description
you're
describing,
is
in
heritage
Canada
and
a
lot
of
the
health
benefits
that
you're,
describing
which
we
all
buy
into
and
believe
I'm
a
cross-country
skier
myself
are
under
participation
in
health
Canada
too
bad.
Both
of
those
organizations
aren't
working
in
in
hand
within
the
same
department
to
demonstrate
more
of
a
united
landscape
on
the
National
Front
norian
or
there.
My
question
really
for
you
is
so.
Are
you
a
formal
cross-country
sport
club?
If
so,
what's
the
the
ban
or
what's
the
name
of
the
organization.
H
E
I,
wouldn't
I
wouldn't
characterize.
We
are
obviously
all
passionate
skiers,
but
we
really
want
to
emphasize
that
this
trail
will
be
multi-purpose.
It's
going
to
be
wide.
It's
going
to
be
parallel,
those
of
you
who,
classic
ski
know,
the
bane
of
dog,
walkers
crunching
the
trail.
We're
gonna,
try
to
make
it
wide
enough
so
that
everybody
can
get
out
there
and
enjoy
not
just
SKUs
yeah.
H
We've
seen
also
to
pick
up
of
the
fat
bikes,
which
are
also
using
some
of
those
trails.
So
maybe
the
conversation
I
think
he'll
be
tough
to
unlock
40,000
in
this
year's
budget.
Although
I
do
think
it's
important
that
you
came
and
spoke
to
the
matter,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
regroup,
because
there's
a
successful
program
that
began
in
councilor
leapers
area,
where
they've
gotten
some
pretty
good
traction
and
good
grooming
I
know
that
Toby
and
I
are
working
on
a
trail
along
the
Rideau
River.
H
We
we've
so
far
been
unsuccessful
in
unlocking
funds,
but
we
have
a
good
group
of
volunteers
and
then
we
discover
you
guys
in
the
East
End.
So
maybe
all
of
our
three
groups
can
regroup
and
see.
How
do
we
best
approach?
This,
for
example,
asking
Trillium
Foundation
for
capital
funds
for
the
grooming
equipment
would
be
one
of
the
approaches.
Anyhow,
really
really.
H
What
thankful
for
you
coming
here-
and
we
do
have
some
thinking
to
do
over
the
short
medium
term
on
how
we
fund
community
sports
clubs,
because
we
we
have
the
outdoor
ring
program
which
we're
also
proud
of
and
at
some
point
that
started
at
the
city.
So
we
can
feel
that
there's
a
desire
and
appetite
to
begin
and
initiate
those
conversations.
So
thank
you
for
that.
H
You
very
much
chair,
thank
you
very
much
for
for
coming
out
today,
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
city
trying
to
find
a
way
to
fund
the
East
End
Trail,
but
I
do
want
to
emphasize
it's
important
that
we
do
it
right
across
the
city
as
a
coordinated
effort
to
to
bring
winter
trails
to
the
city
last
year.
I
think
one
of
the
successes
for
what
we're
calling
the
sir
Johnny
McDonald
winter
trail
was
that
we
raised
I.
H
Think
$27,000
roughly
through
crowdfunding
I,
kicked
the
whole
thing
off
with
a
small
investment
so
that
they
could
put
a
deposit
on
a
snow
machine
and
our
partners
at
Dovercourt
through
the
crowdfunding,
managed
to
leverage
that
into
several
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
which
has
left
or
which
has
led
to
thousands
of
people
using
the
trail
on
the
weekend.
My
question
for
you
is
given
the
success
of
the
crowdfunding
efforts.
Hundreds
of
individuals
donating
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
we're
having
a
very
successful
crowdfunding
initiative
again
this
year.
I
assume.
E
Thanks
Jeff,
absolutely
in
fact,
we've
used
your
$27,000
crowdfunding
to
kick
the
butts
of
our
EastEnders.
We
do
have
a
crowdfunding
program
as
of
last
week
or
10
days
ago.
We
had
about
$1,100
in
it,
which
wasn't
much
I
put
out
a
little
notice
on
our
Facebook.
You
know:
look
at
the
West
End,
how
come
they're
cloning
up
so
much.
E
We've
had
a
little
flurry
of
donations
as
a
result
of
that,
but
nowhere
near
27,000
we
have
a
couple
of
other
liabilities,
I
would
say
in
the
East
End
or
maybe
I
shouldn't
call
it
liabilities
things
that
we
don't
have
that
you
have.
We
don't
have
an
overclock
for
one
and
we
don't
have
a
Dave
Adams
for
know.
We
went
out
and
talked
to
Dave
Adams
last
spring
and
looked
at
your
operation,
wonderful
and
Dave's
advice
to
us
was
don't
do
it.
E
H
Are
I
appreciate
your
raising
the
point.
Dave
obviously
is
a
huge
contributor,
and
if
we
ever
lost
him,
it
would
be
difficult
to
find
that
sustainability,
we're
struggling
with
the
same
issue
that
you
are,
which
is
the
long-term
sustainability
of
this
trail.
Without
some
additional
funding,
crowdfunding
will
get
us
so
far.
H
We
want
to
become
more
sophisticated,
finding
the
sponsors
to
the
trail,
but
I
count
me
as
an
ally
in
seeking
funding
from
the
city
in
order
to
ensure
the
long-term
sustainability
of
being
able
to
grow
this
in
partnership
with
the
users
of
the
trail
sponsors
of
the
trail
and
our
federal
partners
who
make
much
of
the
land
available.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
out
today.
H
E
We
need
40,000
for
the
grooming
part
of
the
trail
so
that
from
January
1st
to
whenever
the
snow
ends,
let's
hope
that
it's
April
31st
for
those
of
us
who
knew
that
snow.
We
would
need
$40,000
to
groom
the
trail.
Other
money,
crowdfunding
money,
other
donations
we
might
get-
would
be
used
for
other
purposes.
Special
events,
communication
directors,
liability,
insurance
right,
a
bunch
of
other
things-
have.
H
E
H
E
E
H
Why
you
know
I
support
an
expensive
outdoor
physically
active
initiatives?
I
have
no
idea
what
the
priorities
are
in
the
East
End
I
noticed
councillor
Menendez
next
to
speak,
so
I'll
listen
to
him,
but
I'm.
Supportive
of
your
ask
overall
I
just
don't
know
what
the
other
competing
priorities
are
for
very
limited
dollars,
but
I'm
like
Miss,
Laluna
and
Leslie
supportive,
but
guarded
with
the
city
finances
at
this
time.
But
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
Thank.

G

F

As
Ian
said,
people
flock
to
it,
we
didn't
advertise,
it
was
word
of
mouth.
We
had
people
coming
up
to
us
with
grins
from
ear
to
ear.
Just
saying
this
is
the
most
wonderful
thing.
That's
ever
happened
and
we
kept
saying
well
thank
Bob
Manette,
send
it
send
an
email,
but
there
were.
There
were
hundreds
and
we're
talking
at
the
end
of
the
season
when
most
people.
G
F
What
when
councillor
leaper
mentions,
it
should
be,
you
know,
in
a
full
network,
I
think
that
it
would
be
nice
if
we
couldn't
look
at
a
number
to
make.
It
happen
from
Dovercourt
right
up
to
trim
road
now
Pentax
access
to
all
of
our
residents
and
it
when
Layton
impacts
accessible
all
year-round,
not
your
spring
fall
and
summer.
So,
just
so
you're
aware
we're
still
working
on
it
can't
make
promises.
Obviously,
but
I
know
you
know.
F
E
H
E
E
I
H
E
G
I
just
follow
up
to
that
answer.
Very
briefly,
very
we
are
definitely
going
after
long-term
funding.
Trillium
Mack
there's
several
avenues
that
we've
been
approached
and
that
will
be
all
for
next
year.
So
what
we're
trying
to
ensure
is
that
we
can
demonstrate
to
a
large
portion
of
the
city
of
the
Ottawa.
What
this
choke
could
look
like
the
vision,
the
dream.
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
councillor
Ellie,
seeing
no
further
questions
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
delegation,
which
is
the
rolling
pit
from
risotto
some
of
the
poorest
dem
a
francophone
doctora
and
mr.
Pitt
will
be
followed
by
Lynn
Sherwood,
chair
of
the
social
justice
committee,
Eastern
branch
Ontario
Association
of
Social
Workers.
J
Madam
chairperson
members
of
the
committee
good
afternoon,
I
am
Hollande
Peter,
the
chairman
of
the
Santa
Pauline

and
other
centers
for
francophone
senior
citizens
and
Mary

director
of

The
have
fo
the
rendezvous
des
any
francophone,
a
Marcel
who
is
the
treasurer
today,
I,
am
speaking
to
you
as
the
spokesperson
of
larezo
de
Soto
to
hide
the
FACA
fund
Ottawa.
The
network
is
an
organisation
offering
french-speaking
services
in
the
the
City
of
Ottawa.
J
Okay,
members
of
this
network
include
Lesotho
potential
Avenue
Lesotho
Seraphim
are
yondu
mes,
who
are
Liao:
rendezvous,
designee,
Fokker,

fo,
the
biggest

centre
on
Murray
in
Lower,
Town
and
retinic
Co
re
a
which
is
located
in
the
Battle
of
Ottawa
building.
If
the
serving
the
whole
Ottawa
population,
we
have
a
membership
of
approximately
5000
members
who
are
50
years
old
and
older.
Each
network
member
is
constituted
as
a
nonprofit
organization.
We
offer
many
activities
to
the
elders
so
that
they
will
be
self-supporting
themselves.
J
Even
if
we
are
referring
to
members
who
are
50
and
more,
they
constitute
a
great
part
of
our
membership.
First
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
for
the
annual
funding
that
it
gives
our
members
allowing
them
to
accomplish
their
mission.
This
funding
is
extremely
important
because
elders,
scientists
seemed
to
be
skyrocketing
in
Ottawa
and
we
wish
them
to
remain
active
and
in
good
health.
J
J
J
J
Presently,
we
weren't
told
that
our
municipal
funding
could
be
modified
to
take
this
into
account.
We
therefore
are
hoping
that
the
committee
will
be
recommending
the
municipal,
the
City
Board,
to
include
more
money
in
the
2018
and
2019
budget
for
the
community,
the
Renewable
community
funding
program,
as
well
as
recreation
funding,
in
order
to
help
those
organization
face
this
new
reality.
Thank
you,
Messimer,
damn
pizza.
Thank
you.
Questions.
F
J
J
J
What
I
would
like
to
know
is
me
that
you
will
have
to
to
let
go
some
employees,
probably,
which
will
mean
that
those
who
stay
will
have
much
more
work.
We
will
have
to
call
upon
volunteers
and
services
will
undoubtably
be
reduced
and,
of
course,
there
are
more
and
more
elders
and
we
would
like
to
attract
the
younger
members
so
that
the
center
is
able
to
survive.
Therefore,
we
need
money
to
organize
interesting
activities
for
the
younger
participants.
Thank
you
for
your
contribution
today.
Other
questions.
K
Thank
you
for
being
permitting
us
to
come
here
today.
My
name
is
Lynn
Sherwood
I'm
with
the
Eastern
branch
of
the
interior,
Association
social
workers,
and
this
is
my
colleague
Caroline
piece
he's
also
going
to
be
speaking
to
the
issues
we
represent:
480
professional
social
workers
throughout
Eastern
Ontario,
who
work
in
a
wide
variety
of
settings,
from
hospitals
to
schools,
prisons
and
even
here
at
City
Hall.
K
We
want
to
thank
you
for
putting
extra
money
in
for
for
reduced
bus
fares
for
for
low-income
people.
We
think
that's
really
important,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
addressing
at
least
beginning
to
address
the
issue
of
subsidized
housing
and
eating
more
housing
and
for
providing
more
support
for
nonprofit
agencies.
We
recognize
that
there's
initiatives
in
housing
and
in
mental
health
services
coming
from
the
provincial
federal
and
municipal
levels
and
that
they're
all
modeled
up,
but
we
not
too
sure
exactly
how
they'll
sort
themselves
out.
K
We
want
to
say
also
that
we
really
support
these
statements
made
by
the
Alliance
and
homelessness
by
the
local
community
centers
and
by
the
folks
from
operation
come
home
because
we're
looking
at
some
really
rotten
awful
situations
in
the
city
I'm,
going
to
turn
over
to
Carol
and
for
a
few
minutes
to
talk
about
the
principles
in
that
we
think
are
important
and
then
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
housing
thing.
Okay,.
L
One
of
the
most
important
principles
to
us
is
that
programs
that
are
open
are
available
and
working
for
marginalized
and
vulnerable
people
is
that
these
programs
actually
assist
these
people
in
becoming
less
marginalized
and
less
vulnerable.
It's
very
very
important
that
people's
needs.
Basically,
the
human
needs
are
to
be
useful.
It's
also
very
important
to
be
connected
with
other
people,
and
so
if
those
two
needs
are
kept
in
mind
and
deciding
which
programs
are
the
best
I
think
that's
very
important.
L
L
This
has
been
mentioned
by
an
earlier
report
and
certainly
our
concern
that,
for
example,
in
had
a
client
who
had
to
wait
five
days
to
be
had
to
be
in
his
apartment
every
single
day,
waiting
for
heat
to
be
turned
on,
and
that
certainly
is
not
being
treated
in
a
very
respectful
way.
I
when
I
left
an
agency,
I'd
worked
out
for
many
many
years,
I
asked
everybody.
I'd
worked
with
what
had
I
done.
That
was
the
most
helpful
for
them.
K
We're
saying
this
because
very
often
the
programs
that
look
really
very
exciting
and
innovative
have
scientific
basis
and
whatnot
and
teaching
people
that
there's
something
wrong
with
them
that
can't
be
fixed
in
it.
They
have
to
depend
on
somebody
else
to
do
it
for
them,
and
what
we
think
is
really
important:
that
people
build
capacity
and
and
being
able
to
be
useful
and
to
have
normal
relationships
with
other
people.
Well.
Well,
I
wanted
to
address
and
particularism
I.
K
Bedbugs
are
a
crisis
in
Ottawa
and
you
guys
got
to
do
something
about
it
in
public
housing,
because
it's
really
really
bad
I
see
ten
clients
a
week.
Five
of
them
are
coping
with
bedbugs,
so
they're
all
living
in
public
housing,
public
housing
isn't
taking
it
seriously
enough
and
it's
causing
a
great
crisis
in
subsidized
housing
situations.
It's
not
safe
and
we
all
use
the
buses
and
the
coffee
shop.
So
bedbugs
get
around
okay.
H
H
Thank
You
vice-chair
just
done
the
bedbugs
issue,
because
this
came
up
during
a
budget
consultation
that
I
had
with
councilor
I
client
tailor
as
well,
and
so
we've
been.
We
notified
public
health
and
dr.
levy
at
the
time
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
kind
of
resources
or
assistance
do
you
have
right
now?
Where
do
people
have
that
are
impacted?
Okay,.
K
What
happens
with
the
bedbugs
is
that
people
are
very
it's
a
very
stigmatizing
thing
to
have,
so
they
try
not
to
tell
anybody
about
it.
Number
one
number
two
most
of
the
people
who
live
in
supportive
housing
are
there
because
they're
disabled.
So
if
they
go
and
report
that
there's
bedbugs
in
their
place
and
management
says:
oh
well,
you
have
to
wash
all
your
clothes
and
boiling
water
and
you
have
to
bag
everything
up
and
plastic,
and
you
have
to
do
this
and
that
well,
these
are
people
have
mobility
issues.
K
They
have
no
money
to
spend
30
bucks,
forgetting
their
clothes,
wash
they're,
completely
overwhelmed
and
they're
thrown
into
crisis
right
from
the
beginning,
until
they
figure
out
how
to
get
someone
to
get
their
mattress
out
of
the
room
of
all
the
furniture
around
the
housing.
People
won't
do
anything
okay
and
it
needs
to
be
done
quickly
and
efficiently.
The
other
thing
that
happens
is
when
they
fumigate
the
place.
The
only
fumigate
one
place
and
the
bugs
just
move
next
door
and
then
come
back
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
K
So
when,
when
these
issues
come
out,
the
whole
building
has
to
be
fumigated,
it
is
to
be
a
very
clear,
systematic
program.
When
somebody
reports
a
bedbug,
a
team
goes
in
bags
up
their
stuff
boils
the
clothes
does
whatever
is
necessary
and
and
deals
with
it
efficiently
and
effectively,
and
whew
negates
the
whole
building.
I.
Think
it's
it's
right
now.
I
have
10
clients,
they
see
this
week.
Five
of
them
are
dealing
with
bedbugs
I.
Keep
hearing
stories
from
a
wide
variety
of
people.
K
H
K
A
variety
of
settings-
people
who
are
in
those
high-rise
apartment
building,
someone's
on
Donald
Street,
are
notorious
right
and
the
ones
downtown.
The
aging-in-place
buildings
are
big
mess.
There's
reports
of
elderly
frail
people
coming
in
in
really
bad
shape
with
bad
bug
bites.
These
are
isolated
people
if
they
were
if
they
were
able
to
function
independently,
they
wouldn't
be
living
in
this
housing,
so
they
often
have
cognitive
problems.
A
mental
health
issues
they're
physically
frail
and
things
get
to
be,
really
really
bad
and
when
these
things
happen,
they
spread.
K
H
H
A
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
my
name
is
Reynold
hello,
Sara
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
board
of
directors
for
Nepean
Rideau
and
Osgood
Community
Resource
Center
affectionately
known
as
an
Rock
I'm
here
today
with
sandy
Willy,
the
indefatigable
executive
director
for
n
rock
as
one
of
the
thirteen
community
health
and
resource
centers
in
the
city
of
our
o'er.
Our
organization
feels
that
is
very
important
for
me
to
speak
today
on
behalf
of
our
resident,
our
client
partners
and
stakeholders.
A
We
recognize
that
our
input
is
being
heard
and
we
sincerely
appreciate
that
animal
rock
is
different
from
many
at
the
community
health
and
resource
centers,
as
we
serve
a
diverse
population
which
spans
the
suburban
and
rural
areas
of
this
great
city,
but
like
other
community
health
and
resource
centers.
We
are
very
concerned
about
the
lack
of
funding
for
social
infrastructure
that
we've
seen
in
recent
budget,
and
we
are
also
seeing
the
upcoming
budget
and
rock
dust,
of
course,
acknowledge
and
appreciate
the
proposed
represent
increase
in
funding
to
community
agencies.
A
However,
we
would
like
to
point
out
that
93%
of
community
and
social
service
providers
have
seen
an
increase
in
demand
for
services
between
2011
and
2015.
The
budget
for
social
infrastructure
has
not
kept
pace
with
this
growth.
As
a
result
are
our
most
vulnerable
residents
are
experienced
in
longer
time
with
and
reductions
in
services.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
our
rural
and
suburban
areas
are
experiencing
unprecedented
growth.
As
such,
the
3%
increase
given
to
community
agencies
does
not
reflect
the
pressures
that
our
suburban
and
rural
communities
are
experiencing.
A
A
Let's
pause
for
a
second,
let's
just
pause
for
a
second
pause
and
imagine
the
struggles
of
a
typical
family
that
we
work
with
at
an
Rock,
a
single
parent
with
three
young
children,
newcomers
to
Canada,
the
parent
is
a
low-income
and
unfortunate.
Didn't
have
to
be
earning
a
minimum-wage
job
yet
can't
afford
the
basic
ten.
The
some
of
us
take
for
granted
things
like
diapers
for
infants
who
supplies
healthy
food
transportation
and
housing.
This
is
a
harsh
reality
for
many
families.
A
The
house
reality
for
vulnerable
families
in
our
communities,
as
our
communities
grow
and
walk,
and
other
agencies
have
more
and
more
families
who
find
themselves
in
similar
situations
without
increases
in
funding
which
keep
up
with
increases
in
our
population.
Growth.
More
and
more
of
these
families
are
going
without
the
necessary
pillars
to
support
the
social
determinants
of
health,
such
as
employment,
education,
housing,
social
inclusion
and,
of
course,
income
distribution.
Research
shows
again
and
again
and
again
that
the
social
determinants
of
health
have
a
stronger
impact
on
physical
health
than
behaviors,
such
as
diet
and
exercise.
A
Because
of
these
pressures
on
our
community
members,
we
are
also
now
seen
an
influx
of
counseling
clients
whose
physicians
are
becoming
more
complex
and,
of
course
many
people
cannot
afford
these
fees
are
associated
with
counseling
and
depend
on
n
work
and
other
agencies
for
critical
mental
health
support.
We
have
an
obligation.
We
have
an
obligation
to
all
of
these
members
of
our
community,
an
obligation
to
grow
to
change
or
increase
our
services,
as
our
population
grows
and
our
services
become
more
and
more
necessary.
A
Our
centers
are,
of
course,
resourceful
and
we've
continued
to
find
ways
to
meet
needs,
but
the
pressures
will
soon
not
be
manageable.
Our
rural
community
members
have
different
challenges:
different
live
sauce
and,
of
course,
different
as
compared
to
our
suburban
in
rural,
suburban
and
urban
residents.
A
Sorry,
they
have
struggles
with
transportation,
and
access
to
services
are
two
of
these
differences,
which
are
very
difficult
for
our
centers,
whereas
without
the
needed
investment
in
social
infrastructure
that
we
are
in
seen
with
this
budget
as
an
organization,
we
continue
to
work
hard
to
find
creative
ways
to
meet
our
rising
needs.
Of
course,
this
includes
fundraising,
but
it
still
falls
way
short
of
our
needs.
In
that
context,
we
support
a
reasonable
increase
in
taxes
in
order
to
look
after
more
than
bridges,
streets
and
water
supply.
A
Let's
also
look
after
our
communities
and
the
people
who
live
here.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
with
the
goal
of
supporting
our
communities
and
helping
our
residents
to
live
better
lives.
Your
continued
support
and
increase
in
investment
in
social
infrastructure
who
make
all
the
difference
by
allowing
us
to
achieve
these
goals
and
make
an
author
or
an
inclusive
society
that
truly
cares
about
its
community.
Let
us
work
together.
Let
us
work
together
to
build
a
better,
stronger
and
healthier
community
together.
Thank
you.
H
C
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
so
I
think
very
much
for
coming
out
and
thank
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
rocks
are
very
important
and
vibrant
part
of
my
ward.
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
This.
This
question
is
more
directed
to
you
sandy.
We
talked
a
little
while
ago
about
the
the
the
issues
around
ramp
funding
and
I
indicated
to
you
at
the
time
that
it
was
my
understanding
that
a
review
was
coming
forward
in
in
2018
and
MS.
Burrell
was
confirmed
that
today,
you've
got
the
mic.
C
M
We're
considering
the
ramp
funding?
Yes,
well,
that's
a
really
good
question.
Keith
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
what
organizations
are
out
there
in
this
city
that
are
not
supported
now
that
can
support
some
of
the
pressures
that
we
see
right
now.
So
weary
talking
about
housing
supports
transportation,
especially
in
the
rural
communities,
support
of
our
newcomers
and
our
refugees.
Mental
health
support
our
growing
suburban
populations
and
communities,
access
to
food
access
to
services
for
rural
residents
and
information
and
referral.
M
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
pressures
that
we're
seeing
that
if
there
can
be
support
ramp
support
for
other
organizations
that
are
out
there
in
their
community,
we
can
all
continue
to
work
and
work
better
as
teams
and
form
more
partnerships,
and
we
can
help
to
support
our
citizens
in
that.
In
those
ways.
H
M
Are
the
and
there's
there's
many?
Those
are
a
few
that
I've
just
kind
of
come
up
with
right
now,
it's
top
of
my
head,
but
for
sure
housing
supports
we've
seen
a
change
in
the
housing
model,
so
we
used
to
have
housing
supports
that
we've
lost
because
of
the
housing
first
model.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
clients
who
come
in
just
with
I
mean
we're
talking
about
the
bedbugs,
their
ability
to
meet
their
rent,
hydro,
support,
there's
in
the
suburban
and
urban
areas.
M
M
Mental
health
support,
as
we
mentioned
in
our
in
our
presentation
because
of
the
stress,
is
on
our
society
right
now,
we're
seeing
more
and
more
people
coming
in
for
counseling
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
complexity
and
the
issues
that
they're
facing
so
there's
mental
health
support
as
our
communities
grow.
We
just
cannot
keep
pace
with
those
and
and
the
other
services
that
I
mentioned.
Thank.
H
H
M
A
combination
so
we're
definitely
seeing
because
a
lot
of
the
newcomers
are
quite
close
to
our
center
we're
seeing
a
lot
that
are
now
aware
of
our
Center
and
the
services
that
are
out
there,
so
they're
able
to
come
in,
which
is
great,
but
that's
definitely
eating
up
our
resources
and
then
the
growing
communities,
suburban,
the
growth.
That's
there
is
we're
just
not
able
to
keep
up
with
that
growth
as
well.
Okay,.
H
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
mobile:
honey
cough
halfway
in
the
middle
you
have
it
tis
the
peril
of
being
Irish,
I,
say
it.
A
last
name
is
malapa
knee.
You
know
they
say.
Small
business
is
the
backbone
of
our
Canadian
economy,
I'm
here
to
say
that
small
organizations
are
the
backbone
of
volunteerism
in
our
communities
and
they
are
the
building
blocks
of
the
strength
of
our
city
of
our
compassion
and
who
we
desire
to
be
as
a
city
to
begin.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today.
N
It's
a
powerful
feeling
to
be
alongside
44
other
nonprofits,
who
are
here
today
to
tell
you
their
story
and
to
be
strengthened
by
the
fact
that
you
are
here
to
listen
to
understand
and
to
consider
opening
a
door
for
funding
that
has
been
closed
since
2010,
I'm,
so
proud
of
our
city
I'm,
so
proud
of
the
fact
that
each
day
you
are
here
taking
into
consideration
what
you
can
do
to
reduce
poverty
and
its
impact
in
our
city,
I'm
so
proud
to
represent
heartwood
house.
You
know
not.
N
In
one
of
mayor
Watson's
visits
to
heartwood
house,
he
describes
small
charities
and
nonprofits
as
the
ones
who
fly
under
the
radar.
Small
organizations
don't
have
sources
of
operational
funding.
We
are
the
organizations
who
have
to
twist
and
turn
and
maneuver
to
create
new
projects
to
meet
requirements
of
foundations
when
our
real
need
is
operational.
Funding.
Small
organizations
do
excellent
work
in
meeting
your
goals,
your
goals
for
poverty
reduction
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
marginalized
and
the
poor
in
our
city.
N
They
are
the
ones
who
are
doing
the
same
great
work
as
large
organizations
with
secured
funding.
The
difference
is
small
organizations
depend
on
dedicated
volunteers,
whose
determination
and
passion
are
the
reason
why
small
organizations
survive
I.
Congratulate
you,
I
congratulate
our
mayor.
I,
congratulate
you
for
your
belief,
in
partnership,
as
the
city
has
already
invested,
21
million
dollars
and
93
organizations
in
our
city
who
strive
to
meet
the
needs
of
poverty
reduction.
That's
because
of
all
of
you
here
today.
N
These
organizations
are
your
eyes
on
the
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city,
they're
your
hands,
your
feet
and
delivering
these
important
services.
But
there
are
organizations
here
today
who
need
that
same
opportunity
who
can
strengthen
you
and
your
goals
for
poverty
reduction.
Small
funds
make
a
huge
difference
for
small
organizations.
Small
funds
make
a
huge
difference
for
small
organizations.
I
encourage
you
to
open
the
door
for
renewable
funding
again
think
about
it.
Think
about
the
difference
you
can
make
for
small
organizations.
Do
it
stop
thinking,
do
it
everybody
behind
me
needs
you,
everybody.
N
B
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
mo
for
your
very
impassioned
intervention
and
there's
no
question
that
heart
would
house
in
its
member
groups,
do
wonderful
things
in
our
city.
I
do
have
to
mention
that
I
had
a
great
time
at
your
ukulele
Jam
on
Friday
last
week,
and
my
wife
now
wants
a
ukulele
for
Christmas
and
it's
all
your
fault.
H
When
you
talk
about
the
need
for
extra
funding,
I'm
just
interested,
because
I
think
a
number
of
us
around
this
table
are
hearing
the
message
loud
and
clear,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
sympathy
and
there's
a
recognition
that
we
have
to
take.
This
ask
very
very
seriously
it's
something
we
heard
a
lot.
The
five
councillors
who
hosted
budget
speak
in
this
room
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
or
so.
H
N
Well,
I
just
heard
a
few
moments
ago
about
bedbugs
and
the
issue.
I
wonder
why
the
community
laundry
co-operative,
isn't
being
supported
by
the
city
to
manage
that
problem,
I
think
about
scale
as
partnership.
I,
wonder
why
our
eyes
aren't
on
it
all.
We
talked
so
much
about
small
charities
working
together,
I
think
about
$20,000,
making
a
difference
in
a
small
organization.
N
Just
imagine
what
$20,000
Elsbeth
just
talked
about
it
a
few
moments
ago.
What
$20,000
meant
to
her
organization
was
another
part-time
staff
person.
That's
the
difference
that
$20,000
makes
and
I.
Thank
you
councilor
for
asking
that
question.
Let's
think
about
working
together,
that's
what
heartwood
does
every
day
we
think
about
ways
to
work
together.
Think
about
the
community
laundry
cooperative
as
a
partner
for
you
think
about
them.
Think
about
echo
echo
table
behind
us
think
about
all
of
these
organizations
and
what
$20,000
means
it
makes
a
difference
for
a
small
organization.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
B
O
You
so
my
name
is
entak
bertner
and
I
represent
eco
equitable.
Today
we
are
a
charity
in
Vanier,
we're
a
charity
and
a
social
enterprise.
We
serve
immigrant
and
marginalized
women,
and
we
do
that
through
sewing.
So
we
teach
the
hard
skills
of
sewing
in
terms
of
using
sewing
machines,
sergers
industrial
machines,
pattern
making
and
all
that
type
of
thing,
and
then
we
also
teach
a
lot
of
soft
skills
around
working
in
the
Canadian
context
and
creating
a
community
and
getting
more
proficient
and
comfortable
in
English
and
soon
in
French.
O
We
are
also
the
only
textile
recycler
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
we
recycle
about
10,000
pounds
of
fabric
per
year
and,
if
you've
seen
our
space,
you
know
that
that's
amazing.
We
know
how
to
move,
how
to
move
things
around
like
a
puzzle
in
our
space.
So
I
was
thinking
about
what
to
say
today
and
what
would
be
helpful
to
you
and
what
would
be
different
from
the
other
organizations
that
are
coming
in
today.
O
So
eco
equitable
has
been
fortunate
enough
to
very
rigorously
evaluate
our
work
and
we
do
something
called
the
S
ROI,
which
is
the
social
return
on
investment,
and
what
this
does
is
it
measures
how
our
participants
are
doing?
We
do
a
baseline
measurement
on
the
first
day
of
class,
and
then
we
do
this
six
months
in
any
year
later,
and
what
we
measure
is
how
our
students
are
receiving
income.
O
O
So
that's
what
an
investment
and
eco
equitable
looks
like
and
we've
been
able
to
quantify
this.
Sadly,
the
we
are
able
to
receive
well,
the
not
sadly
so.
The
good
part
about
this
is
that
we
are
able
to
receive
funding
for
our
projects,
but
we
have
a
really
hard
time
receiving
core
funding.
Nobody
wants
to
pay
for
the
core.
O
Nobody
wants
to
pay
for
my
salary
for
an
audit
which
is
necessary
for
us
to
be
transparent,
for
our
rent,
for
our
administration,
for
that
stat
that
I
just
quoted
for
us
to
evaluate
our
work
and
actually
improve
it,
and,
and
what
is
the
impact
of
that?
The
impact
is
that
we
are
less
efficient
organizations
that
don't
have
core
funding.
We
can
provide
fewer
and
less
effective
services
and
have
fewer
outcomes.
O
B
P
My
timer
on
so
I
don't
go
over
good
morning.
Greetings
honorable
members
of
the
community
and
Protective
Services,
Committee
I.
Think
a
lot
of
you
around
the
table
are
familiar
with
our
charity.
I
am
the
executive
director
and
I'm.
Also
the
parent
of
a
son
who
turned
25
yesterday
with
autism
and
I'm
here
to
join
the
making
voices
count
movement.
It
was
requesting
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
budget
for
2018
includes
several
funding
initiatives
specifically
for
our
charity.
P
We
are
referring
to
the
on-ramp
funding
that
has
been
previously
mentioned
several
times,
$500,000
to
be
included
in
grants
to
programs
that
do
not
receive
municipal
funding,
children
at
risk,
Ottawa
being
one
of
them.
I
went
with
sort
of
what
I
called
fast
facts
in
terms
of
it,
our
charity,
children
at
risk,
Ottawa,
has
served
to
the
Ottawa
community
for
almost
39
years.
Up
to
2002,
we
received
some
provincial
funding
for
a
program
that
was
amalgamated
under
with
the
Ottawa
children's
treatment
center
and
since
2002
we've
solely
supported
what
we
offer
on
fundraising
and
donations.
P
Children
at
risk
Ottawa
provides,
as
I
mentioned,
programs
and
services
for
children
diagnosed
on
the
autism
spectrum
and
children.
Risk
Ottawa
has
over
400
member
families,
which,
if
you
look
at
an
average
of
about
3
a
family
you're
looking
into
the
thousands
of
people
that
we
support.
Having
raised
a
son
with
autism
I
can
attest.
It
is
a
family
affair.
Indeed,
we
fund
these
programs
now
solely
through
fundraising
and
donations.
The
landscape
of
fundraising
has
become
extremely
challenging.
P
Lots
of
manpower,
third
party
opportunities
that
we
used
to
participate
in,
like
5050
hockey
sales
are
now
no
longer
available
and
the
community
project
grants
funding.
Alcoho
envelope
was
cancelled
in
2013,
so
there
is
a
critical
need
for
programs
and
services
for
ASD
autism
spectrum
disorder,
children
and
demonstrated
alone,
just
by
the
summer
day
camp
that
we
run
camp
kaleidoscope.
This
was
our
seventh
year
we
started
in
2011.
We
had
89
weekly
spots
over
four
weeks.
P
We
just
completed
five
weeks
of
camp
with
a
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
percent
increase
in
demand
for
the
spots
with
three
hundred
and
thirty-four
weekly
spots.
We
have
a
funding
model
that
goes
to
the
point
of
parents
paying
about
forty
percent
and
we
raise
the
additional.
Sixty
percent
I
see
the
challenge,
especially
with
the
increase
in
the
win
minimum
wage
of
that,
turning
possibly
right
around
or
even
worse,
that
we
will
not
have
families
that
will
be
able
to
access
the
programs
because
they
will
not
have
the
funding
to
do
that.
P
And
although
the
City
of
Ottawa
does
provide
some
service
for
ASD
children,
I
believe
it
is
a
1
to
4
ratio
for
a
lot
of
the
autism
camps
that
they
have.
Our
camp
provides
a
1
to
1
ratio
or
1
to
2
we're
frequently
given
referrals
from
other
city
services
and
other
organizations
call
children
at
risk
because
we
can't
serve
this
child.
P
The
question
that
I
have
is
if
our
program
ceases
to
exist,
who
will
serve
these
families?
Currently,
families
receive
some
service
in
July
through
the
summer
learnings
program
in
the
school
board.
Counselor
brockington
is
familiar
with
that
because
he
has
been
on
the
school
board.
That
program
has
been
in
jeopardy
for
several
years
and
has
been
significantly
reduced
in
the
service.
We
have
many
children
that
attend
our
camp
now
that
were
requested
to
leave
that
program
because
they
couldn't
provide
the
proper
supports
for
them.
P
So
we're
looking
right
now
at
a
one-time
grant
of
$500,000,
it
looks
like
it
may
not
be
included
in
the
2018
budget,
I'm
still
pushing
to
find
small
amounts,
as
Moe
mentioned
and
looking
to
be
added
to
the
envelope,
then
for
consistent
funding
each
year
and
renewable
funding
it's
in
our
name.
We
are
children
at
risk,
Ottawa
we're
serving
the
community
we're
serving
the
families,
and
yet
we
have
no
core
funding.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
there's
something
happened
with
this
screen.
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
anyone
wanted
to
ask
a
question
to
the
delegations
seeing
none
we'll
move
along.
Thank
you.
Adele
fury,
accessibility,
Advisory,
Committee
and
Adele
will
be
followed
by
Emilio
Andrea
Bachman
from
the
Somerset
West
Community
Health
Center.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
input
with
respect
to
the
proposed
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
budget
on
behalf
of
the
accessibility
Advisory
Committee.
My
name
is
Adele
fury
and
I
am
a
member
of
the
AAC
pursuant
to
the
accessibility
for
Ontarians
with
Disabilities
Act.
The
primary
role
of
the
AAC
is
to
provide
feedback
and
advice
to
counsel
on
the
programs,
policies
and
services
that
impact
persons
with
disabilities
and
seniors.
Q
Last
year
we
were
concerned
that
the
new
organizational
structure
at
the
city
and
any
changes
to
the
accessibility
office
could
result
in
lessening
this
commitment
to
accessibility.
We
are
pleased
to
say
that
our
fears
have
not
come
to
fruition.
In
fact,
we
are
pleased
that
accessibility
has
been
incorporated
into
the
everyday
operations
of
the
city.
Q
For
example,
the
city
is
stream,
lysing
streamlining
and
standardizing
its
approach
in
seeking
the
committee's
feedback
on
projects
to
ensure
that
accessibility
is
taken
into
consideration.
At
the
outset,
we
have
noted
that
the
city
has
responded
to
our
recommendation
to
include
persons
with
disabilities
in
communications
material.
Even
on
the
budget
arguments,
we
want
to
continue
to
work
with
the
city
as
a
consultation
resource
to
ensure
that
consideration
of
accessibility
in
all
the
city's
projects,
policies,
practices
and
procedures.
Q
We
are
pleased
that
the
draft
budget
includes
four
point:
eight
six
million
for
upgrades
to
the
cities
for
long-term
care
facilities,
Peter
D,
Clark,
long-term
care,
home
Gary,
J,
Armstrong,
Sondra,
Decker,
Champaign
and
Carlton
Lodge.
Increasing
the
funding
to
23
point.
1
million
for
community
agencies
ensures
that
our
most
vulnerable
residents
have
increased
access
to
the
basics,
such
as
food
programs,
Day
programs,
counseling
and
support
services.
Q
Madam
chair
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
highlight
a
few
areas
where
our
committee
feel
it
can
continue
to
provide
constructive
assistance.
We
support
the
gotta-go
initiative
to
ensure
that
there
are
more
toilets
available
throughout
the
city
and
in
public
areas.
We
need
an
increased
focus
on
reducing
homelessness.
Q
We
know
that
many
of
our
homeless
population
have
mental
health
issues
and
need
access
to
support
services
for
their
daily
needs,
and
we
would
like
to
focus
on
on-ramp
funding
for
organizations
representing
people
with
disabilities
and
seniors
who
are
not
currently
in
receipt
of
funding
from
the
city.
Madam
chair,
on
behalf
of
the
accessibility
Advisory
Committee
I,
would
like
to
express
our
appreciation
for
the
long-standing
and
ongoing
commitment
to
accessibility
that
has
been
shown
by
councils,
council
city
staff
and
particularly
the
accessibility
office.
Q
C
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
fury
for
your
presentation
this
morning
and
I
also
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
the
committee
for
doing
the
work
that
you
guys
have
done
over
the
last
couple
of
years
on
the
accessibility
issues,
and
you
mentioned
about
a
little
bit
about
funding.
But
how
much
do
you
value
you
as
innocent
as
a
Advisory
Committee?
The
support
that
you
get
from
City
on
an
ongoing
basis
that
have
any
value
to
the
I
think.
Q
It's
incredible
the
support
that
we
get
you
listen
to
what
we
need.
One
of
the
issues
that
we
brought
forward
to
you
was
the
onslaught
of
material
that
we
were
getting
with
very
short
turnaround
for
our
comments,
and
you
listened
to
that
and
supported
us
and
have
now
been
developing
a
more
consistent
approach
to
providing
to
providing
us
the
materials.
C
B
Okay,
Thank
You
councillor
Qadri
and
thank
you
again,
miss
fury,
we'll
move
on
into
a
lien
leo
and
maria
bachmann
from
the
somerset
west
community
health
center.
They
will
be
followed
by
Jay
Garlow,
co-founder
of
hidden
harvest
Ottawa
and
is
is
Laura,
but
not
here.
Yet,
okay.
So
we're
going
to
set
aside
mr.
garlopis
he's
going
to
co-present
with
laura
Pinet
and
she's,
not
here
so
we'll
just
hold
that
one.
So
following
Aileen
Andrea
will
be
Margaret
phallus
community
laundry,
co-op.
R
R
R
R
R
Unfortunately,
this
is
not
in
the
draft
budget,
while
Somerset
West
community
health
center
receives
city
funds
for
programs
and
services.
New
initiatives
have
emerged
to
address
gaps,
for
example,
food
access
programs
such
as
the
good
food
markets
and
the
market
mobile,
continue
to
have
no
access
to
city
funding
and
are
at
risk.
R
S
I
appreciate
that
we
just
like
to
add
briefly
the
issue
of
rooming
houses
to
our
presentation.
It's
a
critical
issue
for
us.
I
hope
counselors
have
all
had
a
chance
to
read
this
report,
which
is
a
follow
up
to
our
report
that
was
released
last
year.
The
same
problems
persist
with
regards
to
mold,
past
infancy,
infestations
we've
heard
about
cockroaches,
bedbugs,
etc.
This
new
report
talks
about
the
fact
that
people
who
live
in
rooming
houses
can't
afford
to
buy
food,
so
they
frequents
soup,
kitchens,
food
banks,
etc.
S
We
do
know
that
there's
a
bylaw
review
of
rooming
houses
coming
up,
that's
been
put
in
motion
early
in
the
new
year.
We
urge
this
committee
to
ensure
that
licensed
rooming
houses
in
Ottawa
as
a
whole,
but
particularly
in
our
catchment
area,
which
Rio
mentioned,
has
the
highest
concentration
of
rooming
houses
in
the
city
conform
to
property
standards.
There
are
some
good
rooming
houses.
There
are
many
many
bad
ones.
S
Went
out
a
few
locations
gone
out
with
Somerset
West
with
the
public
health
nurses
and
visit
some
of
the
less
desirable
rooming
houses,
because,
as
you
point
out,
some
of
them
are
very
good.
The
ones
that
work
work
very
well,
but
the
ones
that
don't
are
living
conditions
that
no
one
I
know
one
should
have
to
ever
live
in.
S
Just
on
the
the
rooming
house,
the
bylaw,
just
you
did
pick
up
on
it,
but
we
will
be
visiting
the
bylaw.
The
report
that
you
put
out
was
excellent.
It
really
shows
the
need
for
dedicated
services
to
to,
by
law,
to
rooming
out
from
by
life,
for
rooming
houses
and
the
need
for
us
to
make
sure
that
those
landlords
are
living
up
to
their
and
the
deal.
S
S
Many
are
infested
with
bedbugs
cockroaches
rats,
mice,
many
have
mold,
which
is
toxic,
many
have
broken
pipes,
so
they
have
no
access
to
water.
Many
have
no
heating
for
long
period
of
periods.
In
the
winter
there
will
be
the
one
rooming
house
we
heard
had
11
people
sharing
one
bathroom,
so
you
can
imagine
what
that's
like.
Unfortunately,
some
landlords
harass
their
tenants
if
they
complain,
so
there
is
no
ability
to
launch
a
complaint
without
fear
of
retribution.
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chairman
I'm,
a
founding
member
and
board
chair
of
the
community
laundry
co-op
and
also
a
member
of
the
heartwood
house
board,
where
the
cooperates
along
with
19
other
nonprofits
as
a
small,
grassroots
charity,
we've
been
living.
The
operational
funding
dilemma
that's
being
discussed
today,
since
the
laundry
co-op
was
founded
in
1999,
the
need
for
affordable
air
for
clean
clothes
was
identified
at
the
people's
hearings
on
poverty,
who
which
were
dealing
with
major
budget
cuts
to
social
services.
D
Back
in
the
90s
at
the
laundry
co-op,
we
provide
laundry
for
two
dollars:
a
load
wash
dry
and
soap
counseling
for
our
members,
with
referrals
to
other
agencies
and
job
preparation
and
training
through
our
contract.
Laundry
service,
social
enterprise,
but
what's
really
exciting
about
the
laundry
co-op,
is
the
vibrant
and
supportive
community
that
our
members
have
developed
over
the
past
18
years.
D
You
can
see
itwhen
member
volunteers
with
problems
of
their
own
feel
good
about
helping
others
as
they
work
at
the
front
desk
or
when
someone
who
otherwise
minute
might
never
get
out
of
her
house
is
having
a
cup
of
coffee
at
a
chat
while
their
clothes
are
in
the
wash
one
of
our
new
Canadian
members,
even
donated
laundry
supplies
out
of
his
first
paycheck
on
a
new
job.
We
mean
a
lot
to
the
people
who
come
to
the
coop
and
they
mean
a
lot
to
each
other
and
the
need
is
growing.
D
Almost
80
new
members
have
joined
the
coop
this
year
alone.
We're
very
excited
about
a
new
initiative
we
have
underway
this
year.
One
of
our
biggest
successes
has
always
been
helping
new
Canadians
get
a
foothold
in
the
Ottawa
community.
They
begin
by
coming
to
the
coop
to
wash
their
children's
clothes.
They
receive
counseling
referrals
and
other
services
and
the
help
and
friendship
of
the
staff
and
members
they
can
move
on
to
volunteering
or
taking
part
in
contract
laundry
service,
social
enterprise
where
at
work,
preparation
and
training
and
Canadian
job
experience
on
their
resumes.
D
So
we've
been
very
anxious
to
reach
out
to
new
refugees
since
the
Syrians
began
coming
in
Auto
to
Ottawa
a
couple
of
years
ago,
but
due
to
decreased
funding,
we've
not
had
the
resources
to
do
so.
This
fall.
We
receive
funding
from
Harry,
P,
Ward,
Ontario,
Citizenship
and
Immigration,
and
the
Ottawa
Community
Foundation,
so
that
our
project
building
community
through
clean
clothes
can
finally
get
off
the
ground,
but
there's
a
catch.
This
project
is
a
perfect
example
of
the
operational
funding.
Commission
issues
that
the
discussions
have
been
about.
D
Our
grants
are
short-term
they'll
cover
the
cost
RIT
startup
this
year.
But
what's
going
to
happen
when
the
projects
over
new
members
we
recruit
will
still
need
the
support
and
once
the
lines
of
communication
are
open,
there
will
be
more
arriving.
How
are
we
supposed
to
keep
them
going
while
there's
money
for
new
initiatives
around
there's?
Almost
no
funding
sources
available
for
to
fund
daily
operating
cost
we're
trying
hard.
D
For
the
first
time
in
18
years,
we've
had
to
raise
the
cost
of
a
load
of
laundry
the
income
that
we
generate
from
our
social
enterprises
written
risen
slightly
this
year
and
covers
20%
of
our
costs,
we're
applying
for
a
Trillium
grant
in
February
to
revitalize
our
laundry
social
enterprise.
But
the
increase
won't
be
enough
to
resolve
our
financial
problems
because
for
a
supportive
employment
job
training
Enterprise
an
increase
in
volume
to
help
more
members
will
also
involve
a
significant
increase
in
cost.
D
We're
also
undertaking
a
mail
campaign
to
begin
to
develop
a
donor
base,
but
that's
not
our
mission,
our
area
of
expertise
and
it's
certainly
not
officiants.
For
first
small
charities
like
us
to
be
running
these
campaigns
individually
as
you've
heard
today.
Many
of
us
small
grassroots
service
providers,
are
struggling
to
survive.
Some
minimum
input
of
operational
funding
is
necessary
to
ensure
our
continued
delivery
of
these
essential
services,
with
a
very
good
return
on
investment.
D
Without
it
not
only
while
most
vulnerable
members
of
our
community
lose
more
of
the
services
they
depend
on,
but
Ottawa
will
also
lose
access
to
a
huge
resource.
The
volunteer
effort,
expertise
and
compassion
that
play
a
significant
role
in
operating
these
charities.
I
urge
you
to
support
the
increase
included
in
the
budget
for
funded
groups
and
at
least
some
funds
for
the
ramp
this
year
to
support
organizations,
while
the
study
of
the
sector
is
underway.
Thank
you.
H
H
D
H
D
H
H
D
Always
have
to
apply
for
grants
and
we
spend
most
of
our
time
doing.
That,
which
is
a
Nuke
said
earlier,
means
that,
right
now
we
aren't,
we
haven't,
got
the
resources
to
do
the
kind
of
work
we'd
like
to
with
the
laundry
co-op
to
look
at
the
program,
improve
the
program
and
so
on.
So
we're
always
getting
grants
and,
as
I
say,
most
of
those
grants
are
project
focused,
so
you're
almost
coming
up
with
projects
to
to
keep
operating
and
that's
not.
It
doesn't
make
good
sense.
D
D
Then
the
Community
Foundation
money
will
probably
cover
the
rest
of
that
year,
but
that
sort
of
incremental
work
how
it's
actually
working
is
that
we're
able
to
keep
our
staff
our
current
staff,
our
current
one
staff
has
been
working
four
days
a
week
for
the
last
two
years
and
that's
our
only
staff
and
she's
working
with
the
members.
All
the
time
with
this
grant
were
able
to
up
her
to
five
days
so
that
she
can
do
this
extra
work
involved
with
the
refugees.
And
then
our
big
question
is
okay.
D
H
D
Way
we
use
that
money,
our
members
who
are
doing
some
of
the
contracts
to
get
their
work
experience,
get
a
small
bit
of
money
from
that
most
of
it
it
has
to
be
small
because
they're
they're,
mostly
Ontario
Works
or
ODSP
people,
so
some
of
the
money
goes
to
that
it
goes
to
keeping
the
machines
going
and
so
on,
but
because
our
people
that
are
doing
the
work
needs
so
much
support.
We
it's
not
something
that
makes
us
a
lot
of
money
to
operate.
Anything
beyond
that
program.
D
D
Can't
recall
a
whole
lot
about
it,
but
I
think
John
Howard
was
going
in
and
doing
the
cleanup
in
the
houses
and
packing
up
the
clothes,
and
then
they
brought
the
close
to
us
and
we
washed
them,
and
we
had
all
the
the
mechanisms
in
place
to
deal
with
bedbugs
because
it's
a
whole
different
process
when
you're
dealing
with
them.
Okay,.
B
I
Good
afternoon
Madame,
chair
and
fellow
council
colleagues,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
it's
certainly
been
a
pleasure
this
morning,
listening
to
the
other
presenters
and
to
be
in
such
fine
company
as
these
people
of
message,
their
concerns
going
forward
with
2018
only
hope
I
can
meet
up
to
their
level.
With
that.
I
Madam
chair,
my
resolution,
Ottawa
City
Council,
is
committed
to
demonstrate
fiscal
prudence,
see
throughout
the
2018
budget
proposal
process.
Most
realize
this
to
be
a
daunting
challenge
for
a
growing
city
by
population,
with
many
spanning
urban,
suburban
and
rural
areas.
With
that,
council
calls
on
his
citizens
and
stakeholders
to
engage
in
this
process
with
recommendations
that
certainly
demonstrate
both
fiscal
responsibility
and
efficient
service
delivery.
Ottawa's
firefighters
understand
this
endeavour
and
offer
their
suggestion
to
ensure
timely
and
efficient
service
to
our
citizens
and
visitors
to
the
nation's
capital.
I
Our
further
deployed
to
other
services,
such
as
marine
tactical
bicycle
as
single
role,
duty
paramedics
as
his
budget
identifies
the
increase
in
the
growing
and
aging
population
coupled
by
the
residential
commercial
growth
throughout
our
city.
The
base
is
a
tremendous
stress.
Excuse
me
a
tremendous
service,
delivery
pressure
and
stress
on
timely
EMS
delivery.
These
issues
are
not
isolated
to
Ottawa
and
the
Ontario
government
and
the
Ontario
legislature
recognize
these
challenges
across
the
province
and
have
reacted.
I
Currently
professional
firefighters
who
are
trained
and
have
qualified
as
paramedics
are
restricted
by
statute
from
using
their
knowledge,
medical
expertise
and
skills
to
provide
pre-hospital
emergency
patient
care
as
a
paramedic
when
they
respond
on
a
firetruck.
A
professional
firefighter
paramedic
can
assist
the
city
in
attaining
paramedic
response
time
targets
and
appropriate
medical
care
to
the
patient
for
less
the
cost,
as
those
members
are
already
serving
in
the
fire
service.
I
Additionally,
Ottawa
firefighters
can
provide
value
added
with
swift
medical
emergency
response,
using
the
technological
advantages
of
what
is
known
as
simultaneous
notification
dispatch
systems
when
mandated
across
the
province
to
ensure
appropriate
and
immediate
response
to
EMS
providers
such
as
the
ambulance
and
fire
services,
particularly
during
life-threatening
emergency
responses.
Today,
in
Ottawa,
our
response
system
does
not
have
the
simultaneous
notification.
I
A
certified
professional,
firefighter
paramedic,
responding
medical
emergency
calls
will
utilize
the
capacity
capacity
in
the
fire
service
and
the
advantage
of
strategic
Geographic
positioning
to
reduce
the
need
for
repeated
additional
funding
increases
to
ambulance
services.
This,
we
believe,
is
a
superior
tool
that
will
result
in
a
greater
service
delivery
and
a
more
efficient
cost
structure,
both
at
the
provincial
and
municipal
government
levels.
I
I
I
Through
the
chair,
Thank
You
counselor,
the
currently
the
the
legislation
160
is,
is
that
committee
it's
proceeding
through
fall
of
which
will
be
a
clause
by
clause,
then
it'll
move
forward
for
for
the
fourth
and
final
reading
at
at
the
legislature.
In
the
meantime,
the
Ministry
of
Health
is
working
on
the
trial
application
process
and
all
things
that
need
to
to
be
captured
for
that
process,
working
with
all
the
stakeholders,
the
firefighters,
Fire
Chiefs,
the
paramedics
and
so
forth
across
the
province.
I
B
B
Okay,
so
we'll
stand
that
one
down
and
we'll
go
to
Luke,
who
let
it's
20
after
we're
just
about
halfway
through
our
delegation,
so
I'm
thinking,
if
we
aren't
finished
our
delegations
by
one
which
is
probably
very
optimistic,
we'll
break
it.
One
for
lunch
is
that
okay,
okay,
so
we'll
break
at
1:00
for
lunch.
Mister!
Let
the
floor
is
yours.
Thank.
J
C
Discuss
the
budget
with
our
two
counselor
counselor
Glenn
counselor
Manette,
who
came
at
her
meeting
and
we're
really
proud
to
have
their
support
and
the
and
our
discussion
with
with
them.
We
are
the
largest
multi
service
center
located
east
of
Ottawa,
and
we
welcome
and
help
thousands
of
people.
Every
year
last
year
we
have
seen
an
increase
of
11%,
a
number
of
people
who
use
our
services
for
the
food
bank,
counseling
crisis,
intervention,
mental
health
issues
and
financial
advice,
among
many
others,
an
increase
of
22
percent
in
the
last
five
years.
C
Our
social
infrastructure
is
organizations,
services,
people
and
networks
that
support
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
communities.
Ottawa
social
infrastructures
includes
important
services.
We
need
like
housing,
childcare,
community
services
and
public
transit
resolve
from
the
2016
of
city
funded
community
and
social
services.
Providers
shows
show
that
Ottawa
most
vulnerable
residents
were
facing
longer
wait
times
and
service
reduction.
A
2016
survey
of
66
social
service
providers
who
receive
funds
from
Ottawa
shows
that
longer
wait
times
and
programs
sketches
stretches
beyond
capacity,
as
93
percent
of
respondents
saw
the
Manns
for
services
increased
between
17%
and
300%.
C
Since
2012,
our
Center
saw
an
increase
of
24%
of
people
who
receive
food
assistance
at
our
food
bank.
An
increase
of
87
percent
since
the
last
10
years
are
in
taking
crisis
response
program,
I've
seen
important
increase
in
terms
of
individuals
served
and
added
tasks
such
as
application
for
summer
day
camps,
subsidy
for
children
back
to
school
supplies,
leap,
applications,
Ontario,
electricity
support
program,
applications,
emergency
food,
cupboard
contact,
Ottawa,
babe,
well,
baby
supplies,
Christmas
exchange
and
I.
C
Since
our
incorporation
in
1988,
our
center
fund
raised
over
3.2
million
dollars
in
our
community
in
the
East
End,
this
money
augment
the
demand
and
city
programs
and
we
and
were
the
cost
of
the
serve
the
reducing
services,
would
have
been
to
the
further
detriment
of
those
already
vulnerable
and
or
at
risk.
We
assure
that
we,
where
we
can.
We
will
continue
to
do
this
so
part
of
the
philadelphia
Darnell's.
Any
news,
a
volatile.
C
In
70
banja
budget,
we're
also
pleased
that
the
city
recognizes
importance
in
investing
in
social
infrastructure
and
the
2019
budget.
This
is
great
news
and
going
in
the
right
direction.
The
draft
budget
proposes
to
increase
funding
to
Social
Services
Agency
by
six
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
and
the
budget
also
includes
an
additional
base.
Funding
of
three
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
to
support
social
service
agencies
to
address
complex
needs
and
increasing
demands
for
service
in
our
community.
B
L
I'd
like
to
introduce
Christina,
Ralph
G,
he's
a
member
of
our
core
team
and
undertook
a
major
study
for
us
on
the
use
of
dun
Donald
Park
by
people
and
cannot
answer
questions
if
need
be
open.
Accessible,
public
toilets
are
an
issue
for
everyone,
they're
a
place
where
people
can
get
away
from
the
bedbugs
in
their
apartment.
L
There
are
an
issue
for
homeless
people,
certainly
who
can't
have
access
to
toilets
for
a
good
part
of
the
day,
they're
an
issue
for
women
with
children,
they're
an
issue
for
pregnant
women
and
they're,
an
issue
for
the
7,000
people
in
our
city
who
have
identified
as
having
Crohn's
and
Colitis.
These
are
very,
very
serious
issues
and
they
speak
to
quality
of
life.
This
is
an
equity
and
inclusion
issue.
It
means
that
we
in
the
surveys
we've
done
only
5%
of
seniors
use
public
parks.
We
know
why
they
can't
go
to
the
toilet
there.
L
We
do
know
that
parks
can
be
made
much
more
accessible
for
people
for
longer.
People
will
spend
more
time
there
and
and
enjoy
the
air
more
much
longer.
If
they
have
toilets
the
design
can
be
attractive,
safe
and
economic.
These
are
now
considered,
champagne,
toilets,
I,
think
and
in
terms
of
what
we've
been
asking
the
city
for
we've
been
reducing
the
our
ASP
considerably
year
by
year.
L
What
we
we've
proposing
at
done,
the
Eagleson
park-and-ride
is
a
Kazuma
dry
toilet,
which
is
a
composting
toilet,
but
even
that
one
is
not
what
we're
asking
for
this
time.
We
are
asking
for
something
like
this
portable
at
the
Harold
at
Harold
place
our
councillor
Washington's
well
aware
of
it.
He
helped
pay
for
half
the
cost
of
it.
Last
summer
the
rest
was
paid
for
by
the
Community
Association.
Two
years
ago,
I've
gotta
go
paid
for
it.
L
The
cost
for
having
an
accessible
portable
toilet
for
four
months
at
a
splash
pad
was
five
hundred
and
eighty
dollars.
When
it
was
cleaned
twice
a
week,
we
had
an
artist
painted
up
it.
The
neighbors
have
been
very
pleased
with
it.
It's
been
made
a
huge
difference
in
terms
of
health
issues
in
terms
of
use
of
the
park.
There
are
daycare
providers
who
bring
children
there
who
haven't
had
access
to
a
toilet.
L
This
could
be
on
a
cost
recovery
basis
from
organized
sports
team
that
used
the
fields.
We've
had
examples,
even
from
our
own
core
team
membership
of
a
mom
whose
child
was
going
to
Capitol,
City,
tennis
and
and
a
tendency
right
outside
of
school.
The
school
was
closed.
Parents
were
told
to
have
their
children
pee
before
they
left
the
house,
because
they
would
be
there
for
a
while,
and
there
was
no
facility.
This
is
totally
unacceptable.
L
It
means
that
people
are
who
don't
have
the
ability
to
hold
it
for
three
or
four
hours,
are
paying
the
price
and
aren't
able
to
access
any
of
these
community
facilities.
They
won't
be
able
to
take
transit,
they
can't
play
in
the
parks,
they
can't
take
their
kids
to
the
splash
pads,
and
we
think
this
is
completely
unacceptable
and
for
a
cost
of
less
than
$25,000.
For
a
summer,
all
sorts
of
more
people
would
be
able
to
use
these
parks
and
that's
our
presentation,
madam
chair,
thank.
H
H
L
We
we
do
know
that
a
lot
of
community
associations
and
recreational
teams
already
put
in
money
towards
portables
for
the
summer,
but
in
fact,
most
of
that
money's
coming
from
the
city
anyway.
So
it
would
make
a
lot
more
sense
for
the
city
to
recognize
a
responsibility
or
take
undertaking
this
like
when
splash
pads
were
put
in
to
replace
wading
pools.
Even
the
employee,
the
employees
who
were
lost-
and
that
meant
that
the
toilet
that
was
there
for
the
employees
and
could
be
used
in
an
emergency
was
gone.
L
H
Fair
enough,
no
I
agree
single
dad
I'm
I
plan,
my
routes
with
my
kids
when
we
go
out
not
just
in
the
neighborhood,
but
even
when
we
come
walking
downtown
a
lot
of
perhaps
bathroom
friendly
establishments.
That
will
allow
non
customers
to
come
in
always
that
challenge
that
the
thing
about
splash
pads
as
soon
as
those
little
toes
touch
water.
There's
an
issue
and
it's
hard
to
bring
your
childcare
group,
which
you've
just
arrived
for
the
day
to
a
washroom
nearby
without
having
to
knock
on
someone's
door
so
and
I'm.
Sure.
B
O
T
I
think
we've
been
hearing
compelling
delegations
all
morning
about
the
growing
needs,
a
growing
demands,
the
pressures
and
we're
all
in
this.
Together
we
understand
the
pressures
around
the
city,
they're
on
the
mainstream
agencies
and
they're
on
the
small
groups.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is,
we
have
no
ability
in
the
city
to
meet
these
needs.
If
we
don't
change
the
paradigm
a
little
bit
here,
we
can't
just
split
this
pot,
the
same
pie.
You
know
in
some
different
way
and
make
this
go
away.
T
The
needs
are
expanding
and
we
have
to
come
up
with
a
different
way.
So
I'm
here
with
an
ask
it's
true,
but
I'm,
also
here
with
an
offer
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
come
together
on
something
here,
I'd
like
to
speak
specifically
to
the
issue
of
the
on-ramp
funding,
we're
hearing
how
important
that
was
I've
been
around
in
the
social
Planning
Council
for
a
while,
and
we
were
there
and
on
the
renewable
funding.
T
When
the
non-renewable
funding
the
project,
funding
stream
did
have
a
window
open
to
renewable
funding
and
I
think
we
might
have
been
the
last
organization
that
got
in
through
that
door.
At
this
point,
our
renewable
funding
is
40,000
dollars
a
year,
and
we
leveraged
that
to
a
million
dollar
budget,
which
I
can
tell
you
in
this
year.
T
800
and
$28,000
is
specifically
going
back
to
other
services
in
the
community
through
a
partnership
model
were
there
using
that
to
address
their
needs
so
with
little
bits
of
funding,
we
can
make
a
big
difference
with
the
on-ramp
funny
when
they
honor.
When
the
non-removable
funding
was
cut
from
the
budget,
it
was
devastating
for
the
heart
of
the
organization.
Art
of
the
community,
which
we've
heard
is
the
small
informal
organizations,
the
grassroots
groups
and
so
on.
We
cannot
meet
the
needs
in
the
city
if
they
are
not
enabled
to
play.
T
An
active
role
in
meeting
needs.
They're
keen
they
make
things
happen
when
they're
essential
to
the
social
infrastructure.
They
are
profoundly
impacted
by
changes
that
have
come
downloading
comes
to
them.
After
it
goes
past
you
and
they're
picking
up
on
all
kinds
of
friends.
Funding
streams
have
changed
immediately
when
that
funding
was
lost.
United
Way
changed
its
funding
criteria
as
well.
Trillium
has
changed
its
funding
criteria
in
the
mean
time
and
Community.
T
Foundation
is
now
going
to
impact
funding,
which
also
will
impact
the
small
groups,
so
they
have
less
access
to
resources,
also
with
funding
models
which
do
exist.
Many
of
them
require
that
you
put
some
contribution
in
so
if
they
have
a
little
bit
of
money
they
can
put
on
the
table,
they
can
leverage
other
resources
and
we
work
with
groups
to
do
that.
So
we
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
scale
because
there
been
a
couple
of
questions
about
that.
T
We
work
with
many
groups
in
particular,
I
want
to
see
the
grassroots
ethnic
cultural
groups,
particularly
those
serving
seniors
for
several
years.
We've
been
working
with
them
on
a
micro
grant
model
and
periodically
we
got
federal
funding.
We
currently
have
a
grant
where
we
are
providing
138
thousand
dollars
of
micro
grants
to
ethno-cultural
groups.
T
They
served
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
ninety-eight
isolated
seniors
in
nine
thousand
six
hundred
and
nine
encounters.
They
had
786
programs,
786
programs
with
$138,000,
and
they
had
a
minimum
of
928
volunteers
octave
in
this.
So
what
we're
talking
about
is
a
cost
of
86
dollars
and
36
cents
for
isolated
senior
for
them
to
be
engaged
to
the
year.
I
think
this
is
the
best
value
for
money.
You're
going
to
see
and
I
think
we
have
to
support
this.
T
So,
let's
turn
the
paradigm
I
want
to
turn
it
a
half
turn
and
then
I
want
to
turn
it
a
full
term
and
I
wouldn't
be
very
long,
so
number
one:
it's
not
just
about
getting
money.
It's
about
contribution,
so
you're
hearing
the
contribution
they
make
the
social
return
on
investment.
That
kind
of
thing
that
small
groups
make
that's
true.
T
They
also
enable
efficacy
and
the
existing
services
Ottawa
Public
Health,
the
mainstream
services
and
so
on
by
being
the
key
bridge
between
very
isolated
people
who
are
marginalized
and
I'm,
not
just
talking
about
the
ethnic
cultural
groups.
At
this
point,
I'm
talking
about
grassroots
groups,
neighborhood
groups,
disability
groups
and
the
other
cultural
groups,
we
believe
that
they
actually
save
money.
The
navigation
rule,
for
example,
at
the
grassroots
groups,
play
with
respect
to
the
healthcare
system.
T
So
my
here,
so
we
know
the
need,
we
know
the
opportunity,
here's
the
offer,
the
social
Planning
Council
this
fund.
We
will
put
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
the
table
and
we
challenge
you
to
contribute
to
that.
Let's
come
up
with
a
model
where
we
can
make
this
happen.
Maybe
we
can't
have
the
whole
thing
that's
being
asked
for,
but
let's
have
an
enabling
vehicle
that
there
is
some
funds
that
groups
not
getting.
Funds
can
get
to
and
we'll
put
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
the
table
in
this
calendar
year.
For
that
so
that.
T
I
I'd
like
it
to
at
least
be
matching
I'd
like
a
little
more
than
that,
but
I'd
live
with
matching
you
know
and
and
let's
make
sure
and
then
let's
do
a
pilot,
we'll
also
throw
in
an
evaluation.
If
you
want,
we
have
an
evaluation
service
and
let's
demonstrate
the
value
of
this,
the
social
return
on
investment
for
this
and
grow
this
fund
and
become
it
can
become
a
platform
for
leveraging
additional
resources.
If
my
agency
can
take
$40,000
and
translate
it
to
a
million,
that's
investing
back
in
this
community.
T
What
could
we
do
between
us,
there's,
$200,000
and
the
weight
of
the
city
and
the
expertise
of
the
city?
And
then
you
know
the
the
innovation
of
the
groups
on
the
ground,
I
think
the
sky's,
the
limit
I
think
it
you
know:
that's
that's
a
hundred
percent
turn
I'm
putting
it
on
the
table
and
I
hope.
You'll.
Take
me
up
on
it.
Okay,.
H
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
intervention
and
and
and
fir
the
offer.
Let
me
just
ask
a
couple
of
questions
so
that
I
better
understand
it.
Firstly,
would
you
see
if,
if
we
were
able
to
find
matching
funds
in
the
2018
budget
for
that
kind
of
program,
would
you
see
that
being
something
which
the
city
itself
could
administer
or
what?
What
are
you
imagining
that
being
where
would
the
funds
sit
in
terms
of
how
they
would
be
distributed?.
B
T
H
One
of
the
criticisms:
I
guess
that
I've
heard
from
those
who
don't
support,
on-ramp
funding
and
I'm,
not
one
of
them
but
I,
want
to
see
if
I
can
articulate.
The
argument
is,
if
you
start
a
pro
a
program
like
that,
you
create
expectations
and
then
the
idea
would
be
you
lock
yourself
into
future
funding.
So
how
would
you
respond
to
that
comment?
Do
you
see
this
kind
of
partnership
that
you're
putting
on
the
table
this
afternoon,
something
that
would
be
ongoing?
T
Well,
I'd
approach
that
a
couple
ways,
first
of
all,
I
certainly
understand
had
expectations.
We've
been
we've
been
termed
the
organization,
the
organization
for
homeless
issues,
so
they
also
download
the
house.
People
come
to
us
when
they
have
no
other
options
and
funding
cuts
have
resulted
in
core
services.
You
know
being
eliminated
so
I
know
about
that,
but
but
to
be
more
specific,
I
think
it
may
be
the
on-ramp
thing
that
the
language
of
on-ramp
is
a
bit
concerning.
T
T
The
city
doesn't
have
to
own
everything,
but
it
becomes
a
platform
where,
instead
of
saying
the
bank's
out
that
we
can't
do
anything
about
it,
we're
putting
in
it's
a
Stone,
Soup
approach,
so
I
think
I
think
the
maybe
the
on-ramp
language
is
making
people
nervous
that
we're
talking
about
committing
and
raising
expectations
for
permanent
funding
to
be
opened
up.
There's
gonna
be
a
whole
review.
So
that's
fine.
We
look
at
what
that
is,
but
the
issue
was
the
loss
of
project
funding.
T
You
know
even
the
that
being
a
route
to
permanent
funding
was
only
open
for
a
little
period
of
time.
For
many
many
years
it
was
just
project,
funding
and
and
I
think
we
can
leverage
other
money
that
can
populate
part
of
that
fund.
The
other
thing
is,
you
know
just
in
terms
of
fairness
and
who
gets
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
that's
standard.
You
know
all
of
the
funders
deal
with
that.
T
We
deal
with
that
in
our
organization
in
my
micro
grants
I
deal
with
that
we're
serving
21
organizations
at
this
point
in
time.
They've
got
microphones.
There
are
many
more
that
come
to
us
and
are
waiting
for
funds
and
I
don't
have
enough
resources
for
them.
So
we
try
to
leverage
other
resources
and
we
work
strategically
with
people
to
do
that,
and
then
we
partner
and
if
someone
gets
something
somewhere
else,
we
can
take
them
off
and
bring
someone
new
on,
so
it
becomes.
But
if
there's
no
platform
for
it,
you
can't
even
get
there.
T
You
know
and
that's
what
I'm
saying
I
don't
think
like
I,
actually,
don't
think
you
have
to
be
afraid
of
it.
I
think
we
can
contain
this
and
be
very
clear.
Maybe
the
project
funding
open
it
up
innovative
projects
and
part
of
that
is:
where
does
it
strategically
open
up
routes
to
external
funding
that
can
come
in
from
from
senior
jurisdictions
where
it
becomes
a
pilot?
That's
attracting
other
resources
to
meet
needs
that
were
stagnated
on
now.
You
know,
I
think
that
I
think
that
that
could
work.
Thank.
H
You
yeah
I
think
it's
very
helpful
for
me.
Your
answer
to
picture
or
envision
this
as
a
project
as
opposed
to
core
funding
I,
think
that's
extremely
helpful
that
actually
responds
to
some
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
from
people
who
may
not
understand
that
that
would
be
a
way
of
getting
around
the
problem.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
answer
and
thank
you.
Madam
chair
q.
S
Bring
up
some
of
the
questions
that
I
was
going
to
ask
some
of
the
clarification
around
this.
Our
on-ramp
funding
is
actually
historically
has
just
been
project
funding
and
that's
how
agents,
evaluation
and
continues
can
get
on
to
sustainable
funding
so
good.
To
make
that
clear
that
this
is
not
we're
not
asking
for.
S
S
The
challenge
to
us
the
offer
to
us
so
to
give
us
an
opportunity
to
bridge
that
time,
because
what's
difficult
today
is
for
months
years,
really
we've
heard
from
many
many
organizations
who
who
address
real
needs
in
our
communities,
who
don't
have
that
opportunity,
eventually
stable
funding,
but
even
project
funny
to
begin
with
here
from
staff.
Is
that
looking
at
come
up
with
a
full
process?
So
that's
kind
of
that's
good
news,
but
it's
it's
pushing
off
the
the
answer
to
what
we
need.
S
S
S
T
For
sure
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
that
micro
grants
are
small
project
funds
resolve
all
the
issues
we're
talking
about.
There
has
to
be
a
longer
term,
more
systemic
discussion
about
about
that,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
an
either/or
and
I
think
that's
where
we're
kind
of
positioning
it
now
I
think
this
is
very
doable
and
we
can
demonstrate
good
success
and
meet
needs
right
now
on
the
ground.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
counselor
McKenney,
seeing
no
further
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
carton,
thank
you
for
that
generous
offer.
We
will
talk
about
it
with
staff
we'll
go
then
to
gang
Jiang
from
the
English
Chinese
parenting
group
and
Giang
will
be
followed
by
David
jeans,
president
of
heritage
Ottawa
and
after
mr.
jeans
will
hold
there
for
life.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
honorable
committee
members.
My
name
is
Jiang
Wuyang,
you
first-time
parent
and
I'm,
also
a
resident
according
to
mark
I'm
here
to
advocate
a
Chinese
and
English
parenting
group
in
our
according
to
region
from
health
and
behavioral
management,
education,
new
parents
and
their
children
who
have
language
limited.
O
O
I
apologize,
so
yes,
so
our
goal
here
is
to
create
a
group
environment
that
is
open
to
all,
but
also
has
a
Chinese
language
connection,
so
that
we
can
learn
necessary
parenting
skills
and
new
language
skills
to
raise
our
children
accordingly
and
reconnect
with
our
community.
I
have
been
reaching
out
to
two
parents
in
need
and
I
started
an
online
petition
on
change.org
and
so
far
we
have
collected
61
signatures
to
support
this
notion.
O
We
are
seeking
a
grant
funding
to
assign
Chinese
and
English
speaking
facilitators
and
classrooms
to
deliver
education
to
this
rather
isolated
population.
In
long
run,
this
can
lower
mental
and
behavioral
deserve
disorder,
treatment
costs,
it
also
reduced
family
violence,
and
it
will
create
a
more
socially
engaged,
create
more
socially
engaged
families
with
healthier
children.
O
Chinese
is
the
mother
tongue
of
over
33,000
people
in
Ottawa
and
Gatineau
region
in
our
according
to
in
our
current
own
word,
children
under
six
years
old
is
taking
up
24%
8%
eight
point:
six
percent
of
the
population
is
from
is
with
Eastern
Asian
roots.
Both
of
these
are
above
our
city
average
and
where
language
is
a
key
impediment
to
many
new
parents
or
caregivers
and
who
have
insufficient
knowledge
to
access
community
resources,
resources
that
provides
professional
our
child
behavioral
management,
education
and
health
support.
O
The
Chinese
parenting
group
established
in
Somerset,
Community
Health
Center,
is
a
focal
point
currently
providing
health
and
behavioral
management
education
in
Ottawa,
for
example.
The
nobody's
perfect
parenting
group
in
Somerset
is
a
very
popular
group.
It
offers
seminars
every
week
to
two
parents
and
also
a
playing
group
to
their
children
where
their
parents
can
can
take
the
course
under
their
children
are
being
are
being
looked
after.
The
instructors
are
able
to
deliver
information
in
both
Chinese
and
English.
To
help
parents
bridge
the
language
gap.
O
O
As
a
matter
of
fact,
this
is
the
only
service
available
in
Ottawa
and
it
has
reached
its
full
capacity
due
to
high
demand,
there's
currently
a
very
long
waiting
list
and
a
shortage
of
stuff.
Many
parents
cannot
access
these
services
because
they
live
far
away
from
this
location.
They
end
up
giving
giving
up
and
they
got
left
behind.
O
So
with
everything
being
considered,
I
would
like
to
ask
for
an
hour
on
funding
in
support
of
a
new
Chinese
and
English
parent
group
in
Ottawa
Collington
region
to
help
new
parents
with
with
language
limitations.
This
will
help
them
to
receive
crucial
health
and
behavioral
management,
education
in
an
early
stage
and
integrate
themselves
back
to
our
community
to
give
more
than
we
take.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Thank.
H
Thank
you,
madam
Sharon.
Thank
you,
sir,
for
coming
down
today
and
I've
certainly
received
and
read
your
emails
recently
as
yesterday
on
the
initiative
that
you're
putting
forward
I'm,
certainly
going
to
suggest
that
we
meet
to
discuss
your
vision
a
bit
further
and
two
for
me
to
understand
what
resources
may
already
exist
in
the
community.
That
I
may
be
able
to
tap
you
into
and
then,
if
not
how
we
can
go
forward
about
what
your,
what
you're
proposing
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
coming
down.
O
E
E
I've
been
involved
for
over
two
years
with
the
alliance
in
developing
the
framework
for
the
arms-length
cultural
development
feasibility
study
that
you
heard
about
arms-length
one
of
the
things.
That
means
is
that
we
have
collectively
given
a
large
support
to
the
City
of
Ottawa
three
of
our
efforts
in
putting
this
together
and
staffing,
the
working
group
and
the
steering
committee
for
this
very
important
study.
E
You
heard
earlier
about
the
consultant
selection
of
Lord
and/or
DISA
D
to
carry
out
the
study
and
a
diverse
advisory
committee
being
appointed
I've
been
part
of
the
selection
process
for
both
of
these
and
our
success
in
these
selections.
Among
really
outstanding
candidates
bodes
very
well
for
the
success
of
the
study.
E
That
enabled
us
to
mount
our
most
ambitious
programming
ever
for
the
sesquicentennial
in
2017.
We
see
at
firsthand
the
benefit
of
culture
to
tourism
development,
particularly
through
our
walking
tours
in
2017.
This
included
important
conferences,
which
we
supported
that
brought
many
national
and
international
visitors
to
Ottawa,
with
the
associated
economic
benefit
as
part
of
the
Ottawa
Cultural
Alliance.
E
However,
we
are
concerned
about
the
shortfall
in
meeting
the
goals
of
the
arts,
culture
and
heritage
plan
by
the
end
of
2018
and
suggests
that
leveraging
additional
funding
from
the
Airbnb
levy
or
possibly
from
the
new
hotel
tax
could
help
fill
the
the
the
gap
in
Community
Grants
for
the
programming
and
operations
side
and
the
estimate
is
this
is
about
1.6
million
dollars.
In
conclusion,
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
collaboration
with
the
city
through
the
Ottawa
Cultural
Alliance
and
through
our
own
heritage
service
agreement
with
the
city.
Thank
you.
