"About four months later apost-surgical hernia started ap-pearing which is where the inci- sion opens up and your intestinesstart pushing out," he explains.As the hernia has grown larg-er, it has severely limited Laroc- que's activities. He now keep hisabdomen restrained at all times,airing the skin out a few hours a day to let any blisters or chafingheal."It's like carrying a basketballaround in a tube sock," he said. "It just keeps getting bigger and big-ger."He was initially referred to asurgeon in Toronto in January 2020 and was told he would havehis surgery in eight to 10 months.

As COVID-19 caseseased, he reached out to hisfamily doctor as the spe- cialist's wait was now an-other year due to the back-log. He was connected witha general surgeon in Bow- manville and was sched-uled for May 2021 but due tocomplications from thehernia, which resulted inan infection, Larocque washospitalized."It wouldn't have mat- tered because in May, theyweren't doing surgeriesanyway."He was then put on a new drug regime for his co-litis and was finally readyfor another surgery ap- pointment.Now, Larocque is sched-uled for surgery in Aprilbut he's worried that the latest round of surgical de-lays prompted by the rise inOmicron cases will further delay it."Currently I have a sur-gery date of April 13. How-ever, I called his office last week to see how things aregoing because I'm retiredand I could be there in a day's notice if someonecancels."He was told that his sur- geon's office was alreadycancelling surgeries for the next two weeks."That tells me I am F'dagain for April and honest-ly it's wearing on me," said Larocque.There are multiple sto-ries across Durham Region of delayed surgeries deeplyimpacting residents, in-cluding a woman forced todelay fertility treatments as she waits for surgery ora five-year-old child withAutism left waiting fordental surgery for broken teeth.Kyla Brennan of PortPerry has been waiting two years for the surgical re-moval of an IUD. It wasscheduled for Jan. 11."Obviously it has been cancelled, so I continue towait (with) an IUD no lon-ger serving me ... it's obvi- ously not a major surgeryso I'm at the bottom of thelist once the ORs reopen aswell." According to data re-leased by the Canadian In-stitute for Health Informa- tion, there were 560,000fewer surgeries performedduring the COVID-19 pan-demic than would normal- ly be performed in Canada.That averages out to rough-ly 35,000 surgeries per month.The largest drop in sur-geries was during the first wave with 370,000 fewersurgeries while the drop was lower in the secondwave. Ontario, Manitoba,Saskatchewan and BritishColumbia delayed surger- ies again in the third waveand in Ontario for a fourthtime in early 2022. At Lakeridge Health,spokesperson Sharon Na-varro said the hospital sys-tem was ramping up sur- geries before the fifth waveof COVID-19 hit."While LakeridgeHealth continues to navi- gate capacity and staffingpressures during this fifthwave, we are committed and continue to focus onprioritizing surgical cases,including cancer services,to meet the ongoing needs of the Durham Region com-munity," she said, addingthat emergency surgeries are not impacted and non-emergency and electivesurgeries will resume fol-lowing the direction of the Ministry of Health.Michael Hurley, presi-dent of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions withCUPE, is part of the Onta-rio Health Coalition whichhas called for both immedi- ate and long-term changesto Ontario's hospital sys-tem to address backlogs forsurgeries, diagnostics andother patient care.At Lakeridge Health, CUPE members includeregistered practical nurs- es, clerical staff, cleaningand maintenance staff, di-etary staff and more. "Going into the pandem- ic we had the fewest hospi-tal staff and fewest beds notjust of any province in Can-ada, but any jurisdictionwith a developed economyin the world," said Hurley."We're actually faring worse than quite a few ju-risdictions because wedon't have the capacity torespond to meeting the challenges of COVID andthe daily needs of peoplewho need surgery or ur- gent diagnostics."To address immediateneeds, the health coalitionis asking that the military be called in to help staffhospitals and long-termcare homes as well as fast- tracking licensing for in-ternationally trainedhealth care workers andwaiving licensing fees for retired health care workerswilling to re-enter theworkforce during the pan- demic.Longer term, Hurleysaid internal surveys showhospital staff are burned out and ready to leave thehealth care field."A lack of staff puts(workers) in a situationwhere they feel they are be-ing inadequate, they have not provided the care theyfeel the patients deserveand they realize the hospi-tal management accepts that, the provincial govern-ment accepts that."He believes Ontario needs to improve not onlystaffing levels and beds percapita to catch up followingthe pandemic, but to im- prove working conditionsfor existing health careworkers including remov-ing caps on pay increases,stopping the use of agencystaff who are less likely to work undesirable shifts in-cluding evenings andweekends and increasingthe proportion of workers that are full-time.Meanwhile for Laroc-que, waiting for his sur- gery has compounded thehardship caused by thepandemic. He lost hismother to an outbreak at the Sunnycrest NursingHomes in Whitby."I know there are peoplethat are a lot worse off, postcancer and things like thatbut this is an ugly one."

Rod Phillips is resigning as the MPP for Ajax Riding.Phillips tweeted out thathe has told Premier DougFord that he won't be run- ning for re-election in Juneand will be resigning nextmonth. Phillips was voted intooffice in June 2018. It wasthe first time he ran forelected office. In his tweet, he didn'tgive a reason from steppingdown now, beyond notinghe looks forward to return-ing to work in the privatesector. Prior to running foroffice, he had worked in up- per management at severalfirms, including chair ofthe board for Postmedia,which publishes the Na- tional Post and the TorontoSun.He was also the presi-dent and CEO of the Onta- rio Lottery and GamingCorporation.He was appointed the minister of environment,conservation and parks inthe first Ford cabinet short-ly after the election. Almost a year later, he was appoint-ed minister of finance, a po-sition he held until Dec. 31, 2021, when he resignedfrom cabinet after it was re-vealed he had travelled toSt. Barts over the Christ- mas holidays.At the time, people werestrongly discouraged fromany unnecessary travel be- cause of the COVID-19 pan-demic and lockdowns.However, he was ap- pointed minister of long-term care on June 18, 2021."I have spoken with Pre-mier Ford to inform him of my decision not to seek re-election and to step downnext month as the MPP forAjax," Phillips said. He said in a statementstepping down now will "al-low the Premier to appoint a successor to continue theimportant work of the Min-istry of Long-Term Care. Italso ensures that the PC Party has the time neededto nominate a candidate inAjax and prepare for the Provincial election."The next election isscheduled for June 2 of thisyear. "I have always consid-ered public service a privi-lege, and it has been an ho-nour to serve as the MPP for Ajax and in three Cabi-net portfolios. That said,my professional life has been spent in the businessworld, and I look forward toreturning to the privatesector," Phillips noted. He is the second MPPfrom Durham Region to an-nounce they won't be seek- ing re-election. LindseyPark announced in the fallthat she wouldn't be run-ning again in June in Dur- ham Riding.On Tuesday, Jan. 11, for-mer Ajax Mayor Steve Par- ish was introduced as theNDP candidate in Ajax.Amber Bowen is the can-didate for the Liberal Party.

Phillips gave no reason for his decision, beyond expressing that he is looking forward to returning to the private sector. Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland PROVINCIAL ELECTION PHILLIPS DID NOTGIVE A REASON FORSTEPPING DOWN To help create a moresustainable and resilientAjax, the town is develop- ing new green developmentguidelines and is asking thepublic to weigh in.The Green Development and Environmental DesignGuidelines (GDEDG), in-cluding an applicant guide-book and checklist tool, are currently in the consulta-tion phase. Comments willhelp staff draft the final guidelines, which are ex-pected to go before councilfor approval in April. What is the GDEDG? • It's a municipal greenstandard rooted in existing best practices, commonstrategies, and progressivestandards and regulations to promote sustainable siteand building design.

The mayor's thoughts: Mayor Shaun Colliersaid in a statement, that in2019, Ajax council declareda climate emergency and identified the GDEDG as animplementation priority inthe Ajax Climate Risk ad Resiliency Plan, as well as apriority in the 2018-2022Strategic Plan — StrongerTogether. "These guidelines are animportant step in promot-ing sustainable develop-ment by establishing pro-ject design standards andsustainability performancemeasures, and are vital in addressing the climatechange emergency by sub-stantially reducing GHGemissions in Ajax," he said. He encourages the pub-lic to learn more about theproject and share their feedback with the town tohelp establish the final guidelines.

OLD-SCHOOL GOODNESS 10 99-14 99 ea 600-730 g The Town of Ajax is giv-ing waterfront visitors a bitof a break next summer by offering a lower parkingrate for short visits.A $10 rate for threehours or less will be an op-tion, along with the $20 flatrate to park for the day.Councillors voted at the Jan. 10 general govern-ment committee meetingfor the new rate, which waspresented by staff follow- ing a review of the pro-gram, as well as an onlinesurvey seeking public feed- back.The waterfront parkingprogram piloted last sum-mer, charging $20 for visi- tors to park near the lake,which includes lots andspecific side streets, be- tween May 15 and Sept. 15.Residents are able to applyfor a permit to park for free. "In my mind, this pro- gram is one of the more sig-nificant policy decisionsthat this council has made over the last three years,"said Nicole Cooper, direc-tor of legislative and infor-mation services. She said it demonstrateshow the town can balancecosts between taxpayers of Ajax and visitors. It alsorecognizes rising costs tomanage amenities andways to find a solution to that without directly bill-ing the taxpayer, she said.Cooper added the townhas been contacted by oth-er municipalities lookingto implement similar pro-grams. The City of Pickeringplans to implement its ownsuch program next sum-mer. Council also voted to al-so expand eligibility crite-ria for a free permit to in- clude non-residents whoown or lease property oroperate a business based inAjax. Two streets, FarrowCrescent and Milner Cres-cent, will be removed from program. These streets didnot prove to be major"problem areas" and ticket- ing volumes were low. Therest will remain.Due to the $10 rate im- plementation, revenue isexpected to drop by about$31,000 from last year, butthe town still expects to gain around $89,000 in theend.Staff will also look intopossibly providing tempo- rary parking passes forguests of residents on af-fected streets and report back to council at a futuremeeting. Highlights from the pi-lot program: • Number of Ajax resi-dents who registered forand obtained a free season- al permit: 7,300• Number of daily non-resident permits sold ($20each): 4,700 • nonresident parkingpermit revenue: $80,000• Tickets issued for "parking at waterfrontwithout permit": 1,600• Ticket revenue: $32,000 WATERFRONT PARKING TO GET MORE FLEXIBLE KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com The Town of Ajax has made some changes to its waterfront parking program for this summer.

Metrolinx, in collaboration with Durham Region and City of Toronto, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit Project. THE PROJECT The Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit corridor is a proposed transportation corridor connecting people through Durham Region and Scarborough. With rapid growth in the past decade and an expectation for this growth to continue in the future, demand for travel along the corridor will continue to increase and a higher capacity form of transit will link communities and employment on both sides of the Toronto-Durham boundary. An Initial Business Case was completed in Spring 2018 to define the corridor and identify initial project costs, benefits and direction. Metrolinx is committed to continued community engagement on this project and is now studying the potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit corridor. The Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit Project proposes approximately 36 kilometres of dedicated transit infrastructure, connecting Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough. This project builds on the existing PULSE service and will provide more dedicated infrastructure along Highway 2 and Ellesmere Road to connect to Scarborough Centre. The proposed project will include dedicated bus lanes, road expansion and modifications, and bus shelters/platforms and infrastructure to support the new Bus Rapid Transit. THE PROCESS The environmental impact of the transit project was assessed during the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) was prepared in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the Environmental Assessment Act). The EPR for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit project is available for a 30-day public review period starting January 21, 2022 on the project website: https://www.metrolinxengage.com/dsbrt. Interested persons are encouraged to review the documents and provide comments by February 22, 2022 to: Stephen Linton Senior Manager, Community Engagement Metrolinx e-mail: DSBRT@metrolinx.com tel. : 416-202-7423 There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project or impose conditions on it. These include if the Minister is of the opinion that: • The transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that is related to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest; or • The transit project may have a negative impact on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right. Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that they may receive within 30 days of first publishing the Notice of Completion. If you have discussed your issues with the proponent(s) and you object to the project, you can provide a written submission to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks no later than February 22, 2022 to the contact provided below. All submissions must clearly indicate that an objection is being submitted and describe any negative impacts to matters of provincial importance (natural/cultural environment) or Aboriginal rights.

All personal information included in a submission –such as name, address, telephone number and property location –is collected, maintained and disclosed by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks for the purpose of transparency and consultation.
