Ralph Walton Regional Clerk /Director of Legislative Services REGIONAL MUNICIPALITYMUNICIPALITYMUNICIP OF DURHAM NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING AREA SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT CHARGES FOR THE WAWAWTERATERA SUPPLYSUPPLYSUPPL AND SANITARSANITARSANITYARYAR SEWERAGE SERVICES IN THE SEATONSEATONSEA COMMUNITY OF THE CITY OF PICKERING Lakeridge Health has implemented a COVID-19 vaccination mandate that re-quires everyone working at its sites —from doctors to volunteers — to be fullyvaccinated or face suspension and, possi- bly, termination.The policy, confirmed by the organiza-tion Friday, Oct. 1, sets a hard deadline of Nov. 12 for personnel to be fully inoculatedwith two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.Staff, physicians and others who have notreceived at least one dose of vaccine as of Oct. 29 will be placed on unpaid leave of ab-sence.According to information released Fri- day by Lakeridge spokesperson SharonNavarro, holdouts who choose to remainunvaccinated after the deadline face dis-missal for failing to comply. "To support the full rollout of the CO-VID-19 vaccination policy, there will be athree-week implementation period for un-vaccinated team members to get their first dose," Navarro said in an email response toquestions. "Those who choose to remainunvaccinated after October 29 will be sub- ject to termination."Individuals with an approved exemp-tion to vaccination will be excepted, ac-cording to the policy. As of Oct. 1, Lakeridge confirmed that 91per cent of those who fall under the man-date are fully vaccinated, while another 2 per cent have received one dose of vaccine.A policy implemented Sept. 20 requiresthat any new hires to the health network be fully vaccinated, Navarro noted.The mandate, which applies to staff, physicians, vendors, volunteers, contractworkers and students, is being implement-ed to provide "the safest possible environ- ment" for patients, families and employ-ees, according to Lakeridge."This decision was taken with greatcare and consideration and reflects input collected from a wide range of stakehold-ers, including physicians, occupationalhealth and safety professionals and unionpartners," Navarro said. "Lakeridge Health's policy is consistent with the direc-tion taken by many hospitals and organi-zations in Ontario and is aligned with the provincial expectations set out in Provin-cial Directive 6."Those who fall under the vaccine man-date must be fully inoculated by Nov. 12, Navarro said.As the deadline approaches, Lakeridgesaid that those who are not yet fully vacci- nated — including those who have receiveda single dose — are required to undergoweekly testing.

The waste plan is aroadmap that will directthe region's waste manage-ment for the next 20 years. With the previous plan(2000-2020), Durham ex-panded the green bin, bluebox and hazardous wasteprograms; introducedelectronics, textiles, andporcelain recycling; and built the Durham York En-ergy Centre energy-from-waste facility. A new waste plan is be- ing developed now. Dur-ham is in the second phaseof consultation with resi- dents and stakeholders forthe waste plan. It focuseson the proposed targetsand actions in the plan. There are dozens of pos-sible actions in the plan.Here are just a few that res- idents might want to knowabout: 1.Develop a mixedwaste pre-sort and anaero- bic digestion facility to di-vert organics waste fromgarbage. 2.Expand green bin col-lection services to regionallong-term-care homes and eventually to more multi-residential buildings. 3.Evaluate if the regionwill continue collecting re- cycling from small busi-nesses in downtown BIAswith the curbside collec- tion. 4. Consider extendingthe hours of operation atthe waste management fa- cilities (e.g. open later inthe evening, different/more days, seasonal hours) to make access to thedumps more convenientfor users. 5. Investigate opportu- nities to convert biogas atregion-owned facilities torenewable natural gas and explore options to installwind turbines or solar en-ergy panels at waste man- agement facilities.The new waste plan isexpected to be finalized inearly 2022.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY Like going through a meat grinder, emotionally— cowering in a tent dur- ing a lightning storm. Or, I guess, these days, a food processor? We were expecting a day of rain on our canoe trip in September and were wellprepared, tent tucked in the woods on well-drained soil, boots and rain gear at the ready. But when rumbles to the north came ever closer in the night and turned toechoing growls, I squeezed my eyes shut and plugged my ears. And with that first booming crack ex-ploding overhead, right af- ter a big bright flash, I curled up in a ball underthe sleeping bag — my common go-to position during storms. I have a neighbour, a pe-tite redhead from Toronto, who positively loves storms, and goes out on theporch every chance she gets to watch a lightning show. But I grew up on theprairies, where the vast skies turn an ominous yel- low amidst a charged still- ness, and then go black just before all hell breaks loose — forgive my language! So, I'm not a fan.But the sun always comes out after the rain — there's a popular Chinese song with that message.And after an hour or more of percussion, and several more of falling rain, the ex- citement was over and sun-rise the next morning re- vealed a glittering world. You never forget light-ning storms you live through on a canoe trip. I vividly recall a three-hour one on Rain Lake in Algon-quin Park, my first, lying rigidly between two girl- friends, hoping the tentpoles wouldn't get hit — why did we camp out on a rock? — and that the guys in the other tent were OK. And a 10-hour electric event, the first night of a fly-in trip way up on the Manitoba border during the last breeding bird atlas, where the lake waters rose six inches overnight. And a stupendous crash-bang-boom one in the Elizabeth II Reserve, where Ima Perry, the prac- tical, fearless farm woman we chatted with on the way out, shared her wisdom: Ifyou don't hear the thunder, the lightning got you, so there's no point worrying, right?I love our tent, a small blue dome with a golden- yellow rim around thedoorway, some 20 years old now but still waterproof and cosy. Canoe trips are differ-ent lately, much more se- date, without rapids or long portages. But they still have mo- ments of blood-pumping drama, plus serene stretch- es sitting on a rock, watch-ing the clouds change col- our as the sun sinks west- ward — the reason you go in the first place. Margaret Carney is a nature appreciation col-umnist for MetrolandDurham newspapers. 'MOMENTS OF BLOOD-PUMPING DRAMA' ON CANOE TRIPS PRAIRIES' NATIVEMARGARET CARNEY'NOT A FAN' OFLIGHTNING STORMS MARGARET CARNEY Column A bolt of lightning over Ajax during an August storm. When she's on a canoe trip and a storm comes, columnist Margaret Carney, who grew up on the prairies, noted for fierce weather, takes cover when 'all hell breaks loose.' Metroland file photo AJAX LIGHTNING DURHAM NEEDS TO BE IN 'TRANSIT REVOLUTION' To the editor: Re: "5 ways GO Transitis changing your commute."While no one can com- plain that repairing an ele-vator and fixing stairs andsignage aren't great pro-jects, I have to admit that I am shaking my head thatthese projects made threeof the top five major transit projects for Durham fromMetrolinx. Hamilton, Kitchener,Ottawa and Mississauga have invested in and arecompleting LRT projects,and Toronto is reinventing itself with several new sub-way and LRT solutions.Even our friends in YorkRegion are getting a sub- way station. As one of the fastest-growing regions, Durhamshould be making every ef-fort to make use of avail-able rights of way andspace near major intersec- tions to be "transit ready" for the next generation, tobe constructing solutions now. Instead, we are dith-ering about painted buslanes that may be complet- ed in the next decade. Ordreaming there may be anextension of GO trainsthrough Oshawa in the next 20 years. Our provincial and fed-eral representatives seem to have little interest in en-suring that proportionatetransit funding to Durhammatches that of our neigh- bours. Durham needs to active-ly lobby the province andfederal government to be part of the transit revolu-tion ... instead of being hap-py with expensive toll roads and allowing taxa-tion that is funneled to oth-er communities for transit. TIM RALPH,WHITBY LTC HOME, HOSPITAL WORKERS MUST BE VACCINATED To the editor: It's incredible to hearabout hospital workers that have not been vacci-nated. I had a lot of sympathy for them before vaccina-tions became available, butbecause of the ongoing re-ports that a few of them have not been vaccinated,it makes me question whythey even have their jobs. Even more workers atLTC homes have not evenhad one shot. This should not be hap- pening. These so-calledsympathetic workersshould definitely be vacci-nated before they are even allowed to care for elderlyand infirm individuals. Please, please get vacci- nated.

One in two peoplewill be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.Miriam Mohamed of Ajaxknows how important the cancercentre is to Durham residents. She was diagnosed with breastcancer in 2018 and was in "fullblown" treatment until March 2020 and says she is still under ac-tive care at Lakeridge Health.Having a cancer centre soclose to home is vitally important for those undergoing treatment,she said."When I started my treatmentat Lakeridge, I was grateful firstof all. I live in Ajax. It's a shortdrive. I don't have to go outside ofmy community to get treatment. But, most importantly, the entirecare team is there on site with theright type of equipment. The di-agnostic tools, the labs, the pa- thology, everything was there onsite for me to get the treatment that I needed," Mohamed said."What I learned is that the equipment is top notch. It's so im-portant that we hear one in twowill hear that diagnosis in theirlifetime, it's so critical that there are funds to support keeping thatequipment there and growing theamount that's needed." She never had to travel intoToronto for any treatment, shesaid.With the $20 million, $1.6 mil- lion will be spent on diagnosticand medical imaging, $2.8 on treatment and technology, $4.1 onsurgical oncology, $5.2 million onresearch and innovation, $1.3 mil-lion on laboratory and pathology, and $5 million to support innova-tions and cancer treatments inthe future. Dave Hare, 74, of Whitby is alung cancer survivor. He hadbeen a smoker, but had quit 30years earlier. "I really can't say enoughabout the quality of care at R.S.McLaughlin. It was just incredi- ble, the professionalism. When Iwas going through all these tests,I always received a reminder ofmy appointments. Every time I went in, they were ready for me.Everybody was so compassionateand comforting, it was amazing,"Hare noted. Paul Mackie was involved inthe fundraising campaign to havethe cancer centre built. That campaign raised $42.5 million."I'm probably the luckiest guyin town. My passion for the hospi-tal started when they saved my life when I was eight years old atthe Oshawa General Hospital," Mackie said.He was at his grandparentswhen he had a leg severed off by agolf cart. "By a miracle, the next doorneighbour to my grandparentswas the head nurse at the hospi- tal and she ran over and tied myleg off. They threw me in the carand rushed me to the hospital,"he added. Mackie, one of four campaignco-chairs, noted the importanceof having the cancer centre in Durham."I remember my grandmother.We would take her to PrincessMargaret in the 60s. My mom had to go to Sunnybrook. So for us tohave a world-class cancer centreright in our backyard in DurhamRegion, I think it's incredible." "It's done nothing but exceedeverybody's expectations of theDurham Region and I think this will be very well received. We gota great team to help us. The foun-dation staff, all the health careworkers, it's the most important thing in our lifetime."Hare was under the impres- sion that cancer patients had totravel to Toronto for treatment."It must have been devastat-ing, after all that treatment, to do all that driving. It's so great tohave that facility right here inDurham Region, less than 10 min- utes from my home."The equipment that they havethere is phenomenal ... It is reallygoing a long way to making more stories like my story. Turning adiagnosis that's dire into a posi-tive."To learn more about the cam-paign, visit www.ourcancer.ca.

Real Estate *Sales representative **Broker ***Broker of record ADVERTISING FEATURE Did you know? An estimated 80% of Canadians begin their search for a new home on the Internet. homefinder.ca This season, it’s time to embrace a “more is more” de- sign philosophy with the re- turn of maximalism. To help you bring this season’s hot- test interior trend home, Shar- on Grech, Benjamin Moore colour and design expert, shares her top three tips to go all out with maximal style. Be bold. Saturated colour, vibrant prints and a mixture of furni- ture from different eras and styles help define a maximal- ist esthetic. Looking for col- our inspiration? “Look to the exuberant colours of the 70s and opt for jewel tones and striking hues of mustard yellow or a bright turquoise like Deep Ocean 2058-30,” suggests Grech. Show off your style. Maximalism gives you per- mission to show off and cele- brate your prized posses- sions throughout your space. If you enjoy collecting items, and tend towards a more eclectic, glamorous look, this trend will help bring out the best in your space. However, don’t give into the temptation to clutter ev- ery surface. “Allow your fa- vourite pieces to shine by cre- ating styled vignettes throughout your space fol- lowing the designer trick of grouping objects in threes,” says Grech. High drama in small spaces. Not ready for a full house of dramatic colour? Choose a small room to make a maxi- malist splash. “Powder rooms are the ideal space to experi- ment with bold hues and dra- matic accents,” says Grech. Create a mirror-selfie-wor- thy powder room by selecting a bold hue in a matte finish, using humidity-resistant paint such as Aura bath & spa and pairing it with an extravagant mirror for instant drama in the smallest of spaces. — News Canada Go for bold with the return of maximalism dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 7 , 2 0 2 1 | 12 free professional buyer service: • Find out about the newest homes on the market that meet your needs • Get more informed about the specific areas and how to get the best price • Find out how to get the best mortgage rates and saving programs, plus much more - Call today!!

Katherine Ross, Waste Management Technician for the Region of Durham talks everything Waste. Send your waste related questions or comments to waste@durham.ca If you require this information in an accessible format, please call 1-800-667-5671 •durham.ca/waste Have your say on the Region’s draft Long-term Waste Management Plan Right now, Durham Region residents can provide feedback on the draft 2021-2040 Long-term Waste Management Plan (Waste Plan) by visiting the virtual public engagement website at DurhamWasteOpenHouse.ca. This is Durham’s second phase of consultation for the Waste Plan. It will focus on the proposed targets and actions to achieve the plan’s approved vision and objectives, which were developed during the first phase of consultation with residents and stakeholders. The Waste Plan is a roadmap that will guide the Region’s vision and objectives for waste management over the next 20 years. As part of the comprehensive consultation process, residents can visit the engagement website to learn about the draft Waste Plan and Five-Year Action Plan before the new Waste Plan is finalized in 2022. Residents are encouraged to provide their input by completing an online survey as well. The Waste Plan will help the Region develop innovative ways to use waste as a resource in a circular economy while demonstrating leadership in sustainability and addressing the climate crisis. Examples of innovative ways to use waste as a resource include using Anaerobic Digestion to generate renewable energy from food waste and exploring opportunities to reuse and recycle materials not covered under regulations for Hazardous and Special Products, such as fertilizers. Durham developed its first Waste Plan in 1999, covering the 2000-2020 period. Under the first Waste Plan, the Region expanded the Green Bin, Blue Box and Hazardous Waste programs; introduced electronics, textiles, and porcelain recycling, increasing its waste diversion rate from 30 per cent to 63 per cent; and developed the made-in-Durham waste disposal solution in the Durham York Energy Centre. We encourage community members to review the draft Waste Plan and provide comments to ensure the future of waste management in Durham continues to be innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective while addressing the needs of our growing and diverse community. Residents are also invited to join Durham Region’s Director of Waste Management Services and other members of our Waste Management team for an hour-long virtual Town Hall session on October 19. The session will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Region’s Waste Plan and Five-Year Action Plan. For more information on the Waste Plan visit durham.ca/WastePlan. A provincial commission has upheld the firing of a Durham po-lice officer with a history of mis-conduct allegations.The decision by the OntarioCivilian Police Commission, is-sued Sept. 17, rejects an appeal byIan Cameron, a constable whose dismissal was ordered last yearfollowing a protracted disciplin-ary process. The ruling follows years of disciplinary hearings, decisionsand appeals that began in 2009when Cameron was accused of pulling his gun during a disputewith a fellow officer at a Durhampolice station, an incident thatresulted in criminal charges. Cameron eventually returnedto the front line and in 2015 wascharged with impaired driving while on duty, an incident thatled to Police Services Act chargesand the disciplinary process thatresulted in his dismissal. The OCPC decision upholdsthe ruling, made by hearing offi-cer Morris Elbers in January of 2020.The OCPC panel found Elbershad made the right call in dis-missing Cameron. "Ultimately the question iswhether the penalty is a reason-able one in all of the circum-stances," the decision says. "In our view, the reasons of the hear-ing officer have established thatthe penalty of dismissal was a reasonable one and the appel-lant's submissions have not satis-fied us otherwise."The Police Act charges that resulted in Cameron's dismissalrelate to incidents in the summerof 2015, a time when the officer had returned to duty after beingsuspended for an earlier inci-dent. In August of that year Camer- on, after being questioned abouttime off he had requested to dealwith a personal issue, accused a superior officer of spying on him,comparing the supervisor'smethods to those of the notoriousEast German Stasi secret police, the tribunal heard. That led tocharges of insubordination anddiscreditable conduct. In early September 2015 Cam-eron was arrested after a citizenreported he appeared to be drunkwhile responding to a call for ser- vice in Oshawa. Upon his returnto the station, Cameron failed abreathalyzer test and was charged with driving while ex-ceeding the legal blood alcohollimit.In September 2016 the crimi- nal charge was withdrawn byprosecutors who cited no reason-able prospect of conviction. But the police service pro- ceeded with two counts of dis-creditable conduct under thePSA. As the tribunal dragged onCameron disputed the authorityof Elbers, as well as Durham po-lice administration. At some points Cameron, who was diag-nosed with post-traumatic stressdisorder, made "bizarre" asser- tions about superior officers, theOCPC decision notes.Cameron, an officer in Dur-ham since 2004, has a history of disciplinary issues:•In 2009 he was charged withassault and suspended after pull- ing a gun on a fellow officer dur-ing a scuffle at the Bowmanvillestation. Cameron pleaded guiltyin 2010 and was given an absolute discharge by a judge, in part be-cause of his diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. •While under suspension in2012 Cameron intervened to stopan assault on a man in Oshawa. Arecommendation that he be cited for his good deed was not actedupon by Durham police.•Cameron remained suspend-ed with pay until 2014, when a dis- ciplinary tribunal officer or-dered him reinstated, albeit at alower rank. In delivering his rul- ing in the case, hearing officerTerence Kelly said police suffer-ing from the effects of PTSD mustbe rehabilitated, not kicked to the curb.•In September 2015 Cameronwas arrested for drinking and driving while on duty and onceagain suspended with pay, as perprovincial legislation.

On Thursday, Sept. 30,municipalities across Dur-ham held ceremonies tocommemorate the first Na- tional Day For Truth andReconciliation.Anishinaabe Grand- mother Kim Wheatley, aformer Ajax resident, at-tended a ceremony on be-half of Chief Kelly LaRocca of Mississaugas of ScugogIsland First Nation. TheTown of Ajax permanently installed a new flagpole attown hall that will fly the Mississaugas of Scugog Is-land First Nation's flag.Wheatley provided someinformation about recon- ciliation to the News Ad-vertiser. THE IMPACT OF THE FIRSTNATIONAL DAY OF TRUTHAND RECONCILIATION Wheatley called it "apowerful and meaningfuldeclaration that can trulysupport ongoing acts of reconciliation that em-brace, respect and honour survivors' stories of truthand trauma, humanize theever-growing numbers ofcurrently nameless chil- dren unearthed on thegrounds of residentialschools ... and keep the atrocities of colonial histo-ry present in the minds ofall Canadians so that wenever forget but we also do not repeat this again." WHAT IS RECONCILIATION? "The journey of reconcil-iation is not only long but difficult because some un-comfortable truths need to be accepted," Wheatley said.Reconciliation meansdisrupting colonial norms and privileges while em-bracing hard truths thatwill inevitably cause dis-comfort, guilt, grief and shock based on embeddedracism. THE IMPACTS OF RESI-DENTIAL SCHOOLS "Residential schools andthe generational impactsthat deconstructed the physical, mental, spiritualand emotional parts of In-digenous survivors, theirfamilies and their commu- nity circles is undeniablytied to cultural genocide,sanctioned and paid for by the Government of Canadaand delivered by Christianchurches," Wheatley said."The settler privilege en- joyed by Canadians at largewill and must be disruptedto even consider reconcili- ation rooting itself into val-ued priorities that contrib-ute to truth telling, healingand meaningful repara- tions." WHAT ARE THE 'CALLS TO ACTION?' In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commis-sion published 94 calls to action, urging all levels ofgovernment to change pol-icies and programs in or- der to help repair the harmcaused by residentialschools and move forwardwith reconciliation. WHAT IS A MUNICIPALITY'SROLE? Wheatley said all mu-nicipalities have a respon- sibility to nurture relation-ships with First Nations,Métis and Inuit people as all of the land these munic-ipalities have been built up-on belongs to Indigenouspeople. Many of these lands are part of treatyagreements. EXAMPLES OF THE WORKIN DURHAM MUNICIPAL- ITIES "The Town of Ajax is ac-tively nurturing a sustain-able and meaningful rela-tionship with the treaty partners of Scugog IslandFirst Nation whose tradi-tional territory extendsacross Ajax," Wheatley said. Examples include in-serting a public land ac- knowledgement statementand providing funded op- portunities for residents and town staff to interactand meaningfully engagewith First Nations, Métis and Inuit communitymembers. The City of Pickering,which also adopted a land acknowledgement state-ment, together with the In-digenous Relationship Building Circle (IRBC), isworking to install an or-ange crosswalk at a promi-nent intersection to ho- nour those impacted by theresidential school system.The IRBC is comprisedof various Indigenous-ledlocal organizations andresidents and aims to give avoice to Indigenous resi- dents and communities inPickering, and to honourthe contributions, historyand cultures of First Na- tions, Métis and Inuit Peo-ples."This is a time for learn- ing, healing and reflectionamong all communitymembers, and I am soproud to see the IRBC tak- ing leadership to imple-ment meaningful initia-tives in partnership with the City of Pickering," May-or Dave Ryan said.

However,contrary to popular belief, itis not new; it has been withus for decades. Today it isjust more obvious, uglierand deadlier." –Bernie M. Farber, chair of the CanadianAnti-Hate NetworkThe demonstration against racism in Montréal this pastNovember, which saw some5,000 people out on the streets to protest Islamo-phobia and express solidari-ty with racialized minori-ties, Indigenous peoples and newcomers, was, we musthope, the dawn of a highlyvisible mass rejection of the politics of hate peddled bythe far right and dipped intodangerously by ideologuesand opportunists from the conventional right. A causefor great concern about theinsidious reach of racist demagoguery.Racism continues tomanifest in various ways in Canadian society. It is not adistant "bad" memory, something that previousgenerations practised andexperienced. Many Canadi-ans acknowledge some his- tory of racial oppressionand the need to address it.As recently as Sept. 6, 23- year-old Sikh PrabhjotSingh Katri, who came toCanada in 2017 from India,was brutally murdered in Truro, Nova Scotia. It is re-ported to be an incident ofhate crime. Earlier, we have seen how hate wiped awaythree generations of a Mus-lim Canadian family of four,leaving a nine-year-old child orphaned in London, Ont.The motive was horrific: po-lice say the pickup driver who mowed into them tar-geted them because of theirfaith. Over the past year wehave seen anti-Asian hateand COVID-driven racism. A chilling reminder thatracism and intolerancehave no borders.The rise of hate crime parallels the increase inpolitical populism, an ide-ology of division that hasstoked racial tensions and feeds hate among the hate-ful. The path to equality,social harmony and peace will come about throughunity not division, co-oper-ation not competition, tol-erance not bigotry. Adopt- ing these as living princi-ples and not as mere idealsis the way to stem this tide of hate crimes. The agentsof conditioning are onlinehate promoters, peers whohave already taken the poi- son, and the media.People of conscienceneed to confront and iso- late these malign forcesnow before they grow, be-come normalized and finda foothold in mainstream politics. Now, unapologeticreal action is needed. Javed Akbar is thedirector of media relations,Durham Muslim Alliance.

Loving mother to Wendy Gudzus (Benno of Okotoks, Alberta) and Julie Marshall (Rob of Brooklin, Ontario). Predeceased by husband Don Temple. Loving Grandmother to Nicole Grimes (Steve), Kyle Herman (Christina), Sam Marshall, Nikolaus Gudzus (Courtney). Predeceased by Grandson Darryl Sherren (Kelly Robertson) Loving GIGI to Carson and Nolan Grimes, Ava and Aria Herman, Zoey and Zackary Robertson-Sherren. Survived by siblings Wesley Johnston (ON), Miriam Dodds (Jim AZ), Betsy Shea (ON), Judy Johnston (ON) and Wendell Johnston (Shari BC). Aunt Marilyn will be dearly missed by all of her nieces and nephews. Mom had wonderful neighbours and friends who supported her for many years. Josie, Shelley and Sheila, we cannot thank you enough for all the care you provided. Mom committed her life to others, first as the eldest of 6 children born to Stanley and Jean Johnston, then wife to Don and mother to Wendy and Julie. Mom worked first as a Bell Operator, then as a secretary for a local doctor. When Mom decided to go back to school to earn her teaching degree, that is when she found her true calling. Her commitment to learning held no bounds, her students meant the world to her. Her love of knowledge changed many lives. Spare time was spent as a skating/beginner hockey coach, hockey mom to several of Don's hockey/lacrosse teams and she was an avid cross-country skier/coach. Once retired, she continued to volunteer at many schools within the Durham District School Board. With countless hours, continued dedication to education and students' success, she was rewarded with the Volunteer Distinction Award. Mom also brought great joy by volunteering at a senior residence within Ajax, where many people looked forward to her support each day. Mom was an animal lover and advocate up until her last day. A proud supporter of animal charities both worldwide and right at home. Many a grand and great grand child spent countless hours walking the paths to view the animals at the Zoo along side her. Mom had the gift of song; her voice and piano playing filled any room with joy and warmth. She had a love for theatrical arts, as well as an appreciation of dance. She spent many hours perfecting the art of clogging. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. "May your memories of Mom warm your heart." Due to Covid 19 restrictions, a celebration of life will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a charitable donation to Mom's favourite place, The Metro Toronto Zoo would be greatly appreciated. www.torontozoo.com. "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever" Winnie the Pooh Goodbye Goodbye my family and friends My life is past I loved you all to the very last Weep not for me But courage take Love each other, for my sake For those you love Don't go away They walk beside you every day PHILP, Eileen H November 28, 1925 - September 27, 2021 ___________ It is with great sadness that the family of Eileen Heloise Philp announces her passing on September 27. 2021, at the age of 95. Eileen was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Joseph Brunelle, her loving husband Howard and her two siblings Winnifred (Winnie) and Maurice. Eileen was born in Detroit, Michigan on November 28th, 1925. She moved to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1927 and remained there until she finishing her schooling. She moved to Toronto in March 1944, living at the WYCA on Elm St. Eileen worked for the Canadian National Telegraph Company until May 1948 when she married husband Howard. The young couple moved to Ajax, Ontario in July 1948. Eileen will be lovingly remembered by her children, Pam (Steve), Larry, and Brian (Susan). She will also be remembered by her grandchildren, Ian (Erin), Lauren (Emilien) , Erin, Gillian (Joel), Colin (Emily), Nathaniel (Leta) and her great grandchildren Henry, David, Sebastian ,Benjamin and Ines. Eileen, an excellent homemaker, who also enjoyed many other activities including Skipping at the Whitby Curling Club and golfing in the Ladies League at the Pickering Golf Club. She spent many happy hours developing her gardens and many evenings playing bridge. Eileen's weaving and craft skills left grateful recipients. In later life Eileen learned to swim in order to help crew on the Caribbean sailing charters she enjoyed with husband Howard and friends. Square dancing was the activity that brought lasting friendships to both Eileen and Howard. Red Umbrella weekends and helping Howard at various square-dancing conventions left special memories. Maybe in the future another allemande left.... Eileen also enjoyed, later in her life, travelling to many areas of the world. Often these trips were led by educational organizations. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at some point in the future. However due to Covid restrictions this will be announced at a later date. The burial will take place at the Welcome Cemetery in Port Hope at a date to be announced. The Philp family would at this time like to thank all staff members of Taunton Mills and Fairview Lodge for their efforts in trying to make Eileen comfortable during her time at these facilities. In lieu of flowers donations could be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Alzheimer's Foundation. SHORTT, Charlane ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ On September 28, 2021, Charlane took her paddles out of the water for the last time. Charlane was born in Oshawa on April 9, 1946, the youngest of six children of Donald John (Jack) and Chloris Patricia (Hartrick) Shortt. For over 30 years, she advocated fiercely to ensure access for disabled children and youth. After working as an accountant, auditor, and consultant, she retired in 2015 from the serious business of making a living. Yet, she never ceased her true calling as a laugh- maker. Charlane is survived by: spouse, Sharon; stepdaughter, Angela Dell; brother, William Shortt; sister, Gloria Cowx; and generations of nieces, neph- ews, and cousins. Pre- deceasing her were: her daughter Nicole Dell; and stepsons Steven and Michael Dell; parents; sisters, Claudette Loring and Colleen Lawrence; sister-in-law and dear friend, Sharon Shortt. There will be a Celebration of Life on October 23 at Osh- awa's Jubilee Pavilion.

OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. You were too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay, and so God’s holy angel bore our darling one away. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you’ll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. 1-800-263-6480 classifieds@metroland.comCLASSIFIEDSOBITUARIES | ANNOUNCEMENTS | JOBS | MARKETPLACE dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 7 , 2 0 2 1 | 26 CALHOUN, Shirley ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It is with great sadness and shock that we announce the death of Shirley Calhoun on September 14, 2021 after a very short battle with cancer.

It can take years to get just the rightsoil,farmtherightanimals, have the best crop. For many, picking up produce at the market is where the thought of farming starts and ends. But for farms working 365 days a year, it’s a constant. Shopping local has really put aspotlightonwhatcanbedone right here in the community. The pandemic only brightened that light, in the early days of March 2020 when people were uncertain if grocery stores would remain stocked, local farmers were more than happy to step in and lend a hand. “We’ve seen, I would say as a whole, it’s been a positive experience in terms of people looking to buy local,” says Tracey Werry, coordinator with DurhamFarmFresh. Durham Farm Fresh is a local marketing association for farms and farmers who sell goods in the Durhamarea. Werry says members worked hard in early stages to be accommodating for consumers to find what they are looking for. In some cases, they pivoted operations by offering delivery, curbside pick-up or online ordering. “It was great to see thatgrowandcontinueoneven a year and a half later,” she says. Thisyear,DurhamFarmFresh and Durham Tourism had to make the difficult decision to cancel Gates Open, an event series that takes place at farms throughout the region where farms give event-goers a peek behind the curtain, feature the harvest and showcase what is grown and available in the region. But farms in Durham still have a lot to offer, even without Gates Open. “We’ve got a great group of farms in the region that are really personable and work hard to give customer experiences and provide product that is what people are looking for,” Werry says. She points out that Durham is unique in its growing condi- tions,fromsouthalongthelake- front of Lake Ontario to north along the Oak Ridges Moraine. “Wehaveaclimatethatyoucan grow almost anything,” Werry says. On the Durham Farm Fresh website, visitors can see a list and use an interactive map to find d ifferent farms throughout the region. They also have an availability guide. “It shows all the different crops as they come into season, so it makes it a little bit easier for people to eat seasonally and know what is available at certain times of year,” Werry says. Fallisagreattimetovisitlocal farms and fully understand the farm to table experience. Farms listedinthisfeatureweremeant to be a part of Gates Open this year, why not go for a Sunday drive and see what they have to off e r ? W e r r y herself is a big fan of shopping local and extends her gratitude for anyone who does so as well. “We’re so thankful for their support and their interest and dedication to shopping local and to our farmers,” Werry says. “For those who haven’t yet, I challenge them to get out sometime in the near future and visit a farm and meet the farmer, pick up some wonderful, seasonal produce and just experience all that the farms in Durham Region have tooff e r . ” Experience the abundance grown, raised and farmed in all Durham Region farms have to offer
