Pickering provides low-cost microchip, rabies clinics for pet owners this month May is Responsible Pet Ownership Month in Pickering Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The City of Pickering is not only providing fun ways to celebrate pets this month, but also opportunities to ensure they’re healthy and safe. Pickering is joining munici- palities from across Ontario by declaring the month of May Responsible Pet Ownership Month. The campaign advocates following local bylaws, keep- ing pets on-leash, picking up pet waste, licensing pets annually and staying up-to-date on vacci- nations. “We strive to support and pro- mote responsible pet ownership year-round,” said Lindsey Nar- raway, supervisor of Pickering Animal Services. “Participat- ing in this campaign provides a great opportunity to work with our community partners to rec- ognize the efforts and actions of responsible pet owners through- out Pickering.” Narraway said vaccinat- ing against rabies is one way to ensure a pet’s safety. As of March 29, there had been 295 positive cases reported of the raccoon strain of rabies and eight of the fox strain in Ontario. “Luckily, they’re all (west of) Toronto, so we haven’t had any positive cases moving over here. But it is an indication rabies is prevalent,” she said. “So we want to make sure our residents are vaccinating their cats and dogs against rabies.” Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland PICKERING -- Lindsey Narraway, supervisor with the City of Pickering Animal Services, with Archie, an eight-week-old domestic short-haired tabby.

May 7, 2017 In most communities Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com AJAX — Beginning on Jan. 1, all children and youth 24 or younger will be able to get their prescription medications for free by simply showing their Ontario health card number and a prescription. OHIP+: Children and Youth Pharma- care — the first of its kind in Canada — is a $465-million investment and was announced as part of the Ontario 2017 balanced budget. "This investment in the future generations of Pickering-Scarborough East will make life more affordable for families and ensure that parents can offer their kids a healthy start in life," said Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles. She said coverage will be automatic with no upfront costs, at an announcement at Shoppers Drug Mart on Williamson Drive West in Ajax on April 28. "I think it's a big win for the community, not only this community, for all over," said Anuj Bhalla, owner of the Shoppers Drug Mart. Durham MPP Granville Anderson said this will fill the gap many young adults expe- rience when they are no longer covered by their parents' medical benefits, but have not yet found a job where they get their own cov- erage. “I’ve had constituents tell me about the financial obstacles they’ve faced in accessing prescription drugs, and the new (program) will help to alleviate some of those worries," he said. Beyond the most common prescrip- tions, OHIP+ will give young people access to more than 4,400 drugs reimbursed under the Ontario Drug Benefit Program, includ- ing medications listed under the Exception- al Access Program, at no cost. These include drugs to treat cancer and rare diseases. "I know from ongoing conversations I have had with my Ajax and Pickering constituents that this OHIP+ program is going to provide much-needed relief for many families," said Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson. Whitby-Oshawa Conservative MPP Lorne Coe wasn’t as happy with the government’s announcement. He said the Liberals have no plan in their budget to get the provincial debt under control. He added they’ve more than doubled the debt in just 14 years. “Whether it’s hydro, health care, or hous- ing, this budget is a patchwork attempt by a desperate government to fix the mess they created.” Durham children and youth to receive freeprescription medications starting in January Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland AJAX -- Anuj Bhalla, owner of Shoppers Drug Mart at 95 Williamson Dr. W. in Ajax, spoke with Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles, and Durham MPP Granville Anderson, who were on site making an important budget announcement, regarding the 2017 OHIP+ Children and Youth Pharmacare Program. Clarification on Durham councillor costs DURHAM — A story in recent editions of Metroland’s Durham Region Media Group editions stated several Regional Councillors were reimbursed for a trip to Europe. In fact, the politicians were not reim- bursed. Rather, the amounts stated were the cost each councillor incurred on the trip. The costs for the trip were paid for by Dur- ham Region. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 3 , 2 0 1 7 3 P Congratulations to Pamela’s Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning & Custom-Made Window Coverings, who celebrated their “Grand Opening”of their showroom at 1315 Pickering Parkway on Tuesday April 11 th.

Also, she said pets should be micro- chipped. “A microchip is a permanent form of identification which helps us reunite pets with their owners,” she said. It’s also important they wear identifi- cation tags, she said. “If you see a cat walking down the street wearing a tag, you know it’s likely lost,” she said. There will be two low-cost rabies vaccination and microchip clinics in Pickering this month. The Petapalooza pet trade show on Saturday, May 13 will celebrate all pets. “It’s not just cats and dogs — it’s a variety of animals,” Narraway said. The event will feature pet vendors, as well as Woofjocks Canine All-Stars, pro- viding a fun variety show for the family, where dogs will perform agility exercis- es. The show will take place at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue will also stop by, with animal ambassadors such as skunks, porcupines and possums. Entry is $5, but it’s free for seniors, pets and children. “All the money we raise is going directly to help us raise a permanent animal shelter,” Narraway said. The current shelter is located in Brougham, but adoptable pets are also featured at PetSmart in Pickering. The city also encourages getting pets spayed and neutered. “That’s something we always want to encourage, pet owners to work with their veterinarian to make sure they get their pets sterilized,” Narraway said. It helps keep the pet overpopulation under control, and can lengthen a pet’s life. “Last year we were lucky to launch the Durham Region Spay Neuter Assis- tance Program (SNAP),” said Narraway. “Although it doesn’t help everyone get their pet sterilized, it will help some.” To qualify for the program, residents must be receiving social assistance. Those who qualify will receive a voucher for a cat sterilization at a rate of $80 for a neuter and $100 for a spay. The month also includes a wildlife seminar and an adoption event. All month long, the “Vet for the Day” drawing contest encourages children 12 years and under to show what respon- sible pet ownership means to them, for their chance to be a “vet for the day” at Pickering Animal Hospital.

The Regional Municipality of Durham's works department is asking local resi- dents to help stop water theft by reporting suspicious activity around hydrants. Water theft has the potential to dam- age the fire hydrant — rendering it inop- erable when it is needed during emergen- cies — and poses a threat to local water quality. The region has new plastic rings to help the public quickly identify which hydrants are permitted water filling sta- tions. The plastic ring contains the regional logo, identifies the hydrant as a permit- ted filling station, and provides a contact number to report unauthorized use. If a hydrant doesn’t have a plastic ring and someone is taking water from it, they are stealing water. The region has a hydrant permitting program and a water bylaw, which detail how companies can obtain a permit to legally take a specified amount of water for a cost. Through the permit program, only approved water haulers should be filling up at hydrants. Hydrant permits can be obtained at any of Durham region’s depots. For contact information, visit www. durham.ca/depots. To report suspected water theft, resi- dents are asked to email watertheft@dur- ham.ca or call 905-668-7711 or 1-800- 372-1102, ext. 3488 with details about the location, company name, licence plate, and/or a photograph if possible.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinion column According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), about 20 per cent of Canadians experience a mental illness by age 25, and more than two-thirds expe- rienced their first symptoms as children. Mental illness tends to emerge during one’s educational years and almost 50 per cent will drop out of high school. Since education is a key determinant of health (the more education you have, the healthier you tend to be), all young peo- ple need equitable access to all levels of education. While Canada has strong pub- lic education systems, there are gaps. Stu- dents living with mental illness need sup- ports at schools, universities and colleges. However, supported education (SEd) pro- grams outside of the traditional school system remain in urgent need to help hos- pitalized students who are attempting to reintegrate into their communities. These students need programs combining men- tal health services and academic accom- modations. The 97 current and former patients of mental health hospitals we interviewed for our research said being able to build their reading, writing and computer skills, or catch up on high school credits gives them hope for the future. Access to a SEd program connected to the hospital allows many to get used to studying with support from workers who understand their ill- ness. Other researchers and policy-makers have argued such programs should be separate from the hospital and located in the community. We conclude both types of programs are needed. While a commu- nity-based program is accessible to those discharged from hospital, this may not be possible for in-patients or those with lower self-confidence. A hospital-based program provides an opportunity to get back into schooling in a safe space before venturing to more traditional educational venues. Ontario’s three mental health hospitals with SEd programs each follow different models. Counsellors who are not certified teachers run a program in one hospital’s vocational rehabilitation unit. Their focus is less on building educational skills and more on providing a drop-in style home- work club. Another program, located with- Building hope and confidence while living with mental illness Agree? Disagree?

It was 10 years ago when Ontario ran bal- anced budgets in 2006 and 2007, but that gave way to $20-billion-a-year deficits in 2008 and 2009 when the economy tanked and the Grits had no choice but to hand the auto industry a $3.3 billion lifeline, or face the collapse of auto manufacturing in Ontario. At the time, then premier Dalton McGuinty made a promise to balance the budget by 2017, and while the Liberals should be com- mended for getting their budget in order, there’s a bogeyman lurking in the province’s balance sheet. The provincial debt for this fiscal year is expected to hit $312 billion, and in a recent meeting with Metroland Media editors, Senior Economist with RBC Robert Hogue said “tough medicine” is needed to tackle the debt. “Debt has increased quite significantly and debt to GDP is running at 40 per cent,” he said. In 2016/17, the province expects to spend $11.4 billion on interest payments on that debt. That’s nearly $1 billion a month just to service existing debt, and in case you need to be reminded, that coin comes from your pocket. To put it in terms we can all relate to, every person in Ontario would need to pony up $22,000 to pay off the debt. Hogue said this massive debt leaves the province without a rainy day fund in the event the economy slows to a point requiring stim- ulus spending, and if interest rates rise, as expected they will, the interest payments on the debt would skyrocket. We agree with Hogue when he says it’s time the province create a plan to tackle the debt by creating a “hard target for debt to GDP ratio” that sits much lower than where we are now. However, we didn’t get that Thursday. What we did get was a desperate Liberal gov- ernment waving costly carrots in voters’ faces. The Wynne government’s shopping list includes a drug plan for those under 24 cost- ing $465 million a year and $200 million next year to increase affordable licensed child care spaces. Noble programs for sure, but not at a time when the province continues to add about $10 billion a year in new debt as long as they hold power, and if the Wynne government continues to spend like drunken sailors on shore leave — generations of Ontario resi- dents will be buried under a mountain of debt from which they may never escape. Ontario one correction away from a debt crisis in the hospital’s forensic treatment unit, requires anyone accessing the facility to go through security. This program is well- run by an experienced certified teacher. Many participants have enrolled in col- lege-level courses, but for outpatients, the need to go through security to attend can bring back negative memories of being in the hospital. For them, access to a com- munity-based program would be better. The third hospital program, run by two certified teachers, has three classrooms: one in the community, one in the hospi- tal with open access, and one in the hos- pital’s forensic treatment unit with lim- ited access. This model is ideal, with options for in-patients, outpatients and discharged patients. But with two teachers being responsible for three sites, program- ming cannot be offered daily. Understaffed and under-resourced SEd programs hamper successful transi- tions from the ‘patient mindset’ of hospi- tal settings to a ‘student mindset’ in the community. Having a sense of communi- ty and connections in a learning environ- ment helps participants to achieve their potential and experience quality-of-life improvements that make a real difference in their day-to-day lives. -- Dr. Shanti Fernando and Dr. Alyson King are part of a team conducting research on Supported Education programs for adults living with mental illness.

Win Letters to the editor School isn’t a safe place for anyone anymore To the editor: Re: ‘Alarm raised about Durham school violence,’ news, April 20 It’s about time parents woke up to what is happening in our schools. We can’t stick our heads in the sand any longer thanks to your article. I took my concerns about the abuse my daughter was experiencing as an EA in our Durham School Board to a board meeting. The platitudes I received were laughable. I got the impression from their responses that ‘She chose this career, so she will have to deal with the consequences.’ Why ... because the board doesn’t have the money to make any effective changes for our special needs students. Our teach- ers and EAs are doing the best they can, but it’s like sending a team of firefighters out to fight a three-alarm fire with a little red wagon and one bucket they all have to share. If you really want to know what is going on in our nation’s classrooms, take a cou- ple of hours out of your busy day and visit your child’s school during class. If your child has a special needs student(s) open your eyes and see, really see how everyone is struggling. The saddest of all will be the child who ducks at loud noises, or the fear in their eyes when they experience their very first lockdown. And watch the staff … shoulders slumped and tired and they don’t laugh anymore and a lot of them are losing that feeling that help is on the way. School isn’t a safe place any more for anybody. We don’t have to worry about danger from the outside coming into our schools. We should be worrying about the physical and mental abuse that is happen- ing in our schools to our babies. These children are our hope for the future, and we have all given up … Or have we? Shirley Spicer Oshawa Pickering mayor is speaking from both sides of his mouth To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering named one of top Ameri- can cities of the future’, durhamregion.com I read a contradictory article on your website today, ‘Pickering Named One of Top American Cities of the Future’. Of par- ticular interest is a quote by Mayor Dave Ryan: “We are proud and honoured to be rec- ognized as one of the leading business des- tinations in the world, which is a reflection of our outstanding economic development and business engagements efforts,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “With the advent of 800 acres of prestige employment in our innova- tion corridor, intensification of our city cen- tre, and potential for an airport, Pickering offers unrivalled investment opportunities.” This type of quote by the mayor is taken as this is what the majority of Pickering res- idents want, after all the mayor speaks on behalf of Pickering residents when talking about Pickering. While Ryan is technically not lying as there is a “potential for an air- port”, no matter how remote, he need not pose the possibility in such a positive way as if all residents of Pickering are hoping, wanting and eagerly awaiting an airport. After all, is it not the official stance of the City of Pickering that the city is opposed to an airport? If Ryan really thinks that he and his cronies have done such an “outstand- ing economic development and business engagements efforts,” then where are these businesses with the accompanying new jobs and why have we seen no relief for the past 10 years in our taxes? Please, Mr. Ryan provide me with a list of these new business that you and our coun- cil have attracted through your superior “engagements efforts.” Please tell me why Pickering council and you always explain around budget time and the accompanying perennial yearly tax increase that the main reason why our taxes continually rise is because the city needs to attract new indus- try and business. Mayor Ryan you really cannot have it both ways, but you continue to speak out of both sides of your mouth. Mike Borie Pickering It’s a Charlie Brown provincial budget To the editor: This Ontario Liberal government reminds me of the Charlie Brown car- toon, where Lucy is holding the football for Charlie Brown and then pulls it away at the last second. Kathleen Wynne is Lucy and the taxpayer is Charlie Brown. It’s time to retire this Liberal government. It’s costing all Ontarians a lot more than peanuts.

OSHAWA — The province’s Special Investigations Unit is seeking witnesses to an arrest last week in Oshawa that left a man injured. A 35-year-old man was treated at hospi- tal after being arrested by Durham police at around 9 p.m. last Wednesday, April 26, according to the SIU. Plainclothes officers arrested the man in the vicinity of Albert and Bruce Streets, according to the agency. The man was injured during an “inter- action” with police, the SIU said in a press release issued May 1. The extent of the man’s injuries was not disclosed by the SIU. Four investigators, including a forensic specialist, have been assigned to the file. The SIU is asking witnesses — including anyone with video of the arrest — to call 1-800-787-8529. The SIU is an independent agency that investigates incidents involving police that lead to death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.

The 29-year-old victim sustained non life-threatening injuries in the shoot- ing, which is believed to have occurred in the vicinity of Kingston and Whites Roads. Durham police were informed of the incident after a victim turned up at a Toronto hospital with a gunshot wound at about 7 a.m. April 27. The victim was in his vehicle when he was approached by two unknown men, one of whom produced a handgun and shot him, police said. After the shooting the victim was driv- en to a Toronto hospital, police said. He has been released and is expected to make a full recovery. Police do not believe the shooting was a random inci- dent. The suspects are described as two white men in their 20s, both of whom wore dark clothing. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2585 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

When Ralph Roberto started out in the world of real estate in 1976 he had a goal with ahealthy vision. To create a brokerage that was well regarded for its integrity and ability to nurture well-trained agents. To be able to help the buyingpublic make that one important life-time purchase. And to be able to count on those clients for repeat business, which is the best compliment of all. Slowlyand surely Ralph made the right moves at the right times. Coldwell Banker R.M.R has grown to 9 offices company-wide plus a commercial division.Areas served include the Durham Region, The Kawarthas and Northumberland. With over 150 employees in the company CB RMR has certainlyachieved Ralph’s original mandate. But the best was yet to come. And come it did in 2016. CB RMR was awarded the prestigious Coldwell Banker GoldChairman’s Circle Award, one of only 3 offices to do so across all of Canada. And the only one to have achieved that feat in all of Eastern Canada. Sohow proud is Ralph of that award? Let’s let him tell it. ““As part of an elite standing, the Chairman’s Circle underscores the meaning of teamwork. Withsome of the highest benchmarks, this prestigious recognition weighs on the strong work ethic, professionalism and perseverance of the collective networkof Salespeople in all our offices, honoring their success. My gratitude goes out to all our professional sales and support staff, who maintain a diligentfocus and unwavering effort to continually deliver the hallmark achievement of the Coldwell Banker brand, Ultimate Service™.” It has been a long and interesting journey so far, but in typical fashion Ralph still feels the best is yet to come. To that end a new company logo has beencreated, called 40 Years and Counting. Counting indeed, and collectively looking forward to helping thousands more satisfied clients make that oneimportant purchase over the next 40 years. Well done, Ralph. And a hearty congratulations on a job well done. All-Stars Realty Inc., BrokerageIndependently Owned & Operated.

Registered kinesiologist Julie Belli- ni works with clients living with a num- ber of ailments, including chronic diseas- es, issues with joints and repetitive strains. With almost 25 years of clinical experience, Bellini stresses the importance of proper movement. “The focus of the work I do is to move better and stop provoking pain,” said Bellini. “For a person with lower back or hip pain, a good example of how to move better would be how they get out of their chair. Often this is done incorrectly, and if you make a slight change for the better, there is often a direct reduction in pain.” Having left clinical practice, Bellini now owns and operates Human Performance Solutions Mobile, based in the Hamilton area, but she travels to clients to address exercise therapy, fitness, health, wellness and ergonomics. According to Bellini, with a traditional physiotherapy visit, patients spend much of their time and money on treatment and often receive little to no time addressing the functional mechanics that are causing the pain. Being independent, Bellini is able to provide the time to work with clients to get to the root of the issue and help them to restore function and living. “Exercises are important but are a very small fraction of prevention or recovery,” said Bellini. “ The premise is to get people to move better without provoking pain. How people move, their posture, the ergonomics of their surroundings are much more impor- tant, because these are factors in their every- day lives. ” So what are some of the steps that peo- ple can take to prevent or reduce hip and its associated knee and lower back pain? Bell- ini stresses the importance of paying atten- tion to your pain. For people with mild to moderate hip pain in particular regions around the hip, this can be a precursor to progressive joint deterioration with poten- tial hip replacement. Because doctors and physiotherapists often don’t understand the groin pain associated with hip pain, it is often left unaddressed or treated incorrect- ly until the pain becomes severe enough to warrant a replacement. If those people with mild to moderate hip joint pain were to be given a proper exer- cise program to teach them how to move the right way, with the correct hip exercises it is possible to reverse the issue and avoid a hip replacement. For people who fall into the severe pain category, the importance shifts from pre- vention to preparation, by helping clients reduce the pain in their groin or hip while they are awaiting replacement. “How the ball joint (part of the hip) rotates in the socket is very important, “said Bellini. “When the axis of rotation is off by even five to eight millimeters in the forward direction, people often feel anterior (front) pain that travels down the leg when walk- ing, standing up or lifting that leg forward. We work to change some of the muscle con- trol and to improve mobility and function by improving strength and control of the mus- cles in their buttocks.” Coming back to the chair test, Bellini says most people cannot do the stand to sit (or sit to stand) test without using their hands, as there is not enough strength in the leg or buttocks. Improving the buttocks muscle strength pre-surgery and improving how they move with reduced pain can assist in the post-surgery recovery. Other real-life exercises include stepping up on to curbs and moving up and down stairs. Bellini offers the following advice on maintaining hip, and joint fluidity. Anti-inflammatory diet Eating minimal dairy is ideal to help with joints. Hard cheeses and high fat, healthy yogurts are fine, but avoid anything with sugar, dyes and anything that is processed. Consume a high volume of nuts, seeds, whole grains, healthy oils (fish, olive), dark chocolate, eggs, and avocados. Eat protein To maintain muscle strength, Belli- ni says it’s important to eat a lot of lean, healthy meats including fish, chicken and turkey. Vitamin D While we can get Vitamin D from the food we eat, most people do not get enough. The recommended intake is 1,000 International Units (IUs), Bellini comments on research indicating that it is safe for most people to take 3,000 units daily but to check with your healthcare provider if unsure. Minimalize the amount of hip bending Pre-surgery or post surgery recipients should reduce the amount that they are bending their hip. Sitting on raised objects (toilet seats, chair cushions etc.) will help to minimize pain and strain on the joint. Keep moving: Many people avoid move- ment when awaiting surgery as their pain levels are high. Gentle movements such as swimming can help keep the joint moving. Stationary bikes can aggravate a pre-surgery hip, as can too much walking. For people who have undergone their hip surgery and are healing, Bellini stress- es the importance of physiotherapy to assist with pain reduction and mobility. After three months or so, if pain is still an issue, there is a good chance they aren’t moving well and need to make changes. Post-surgery patients should also remain on the healthy diet supplementing with vitamin D.

Free park-ing in Canada Ever bedded down in a yurt, tried camping in an oTENTik, or slept in a teepee? In 1885, Canada was still a teenager but the young government was wise enough to recognize the importance of protecting the land. Canada’s first National Park (and only the third in the world) was created that year – 26 square miles of land around a bubbling spring – Banff National Park. Today there are 46 National Parks, four national marine conservation areas and one urban park covering more than 300,000 square kilometres of Canada. Also under the National Parks umbrel- la are 171 of Canada’s National Histor- ic Sites. From urban and rural locales, to wilderness environments, these may be sacred spaces, battlefields, archaeological sites, buildings or streetscapes. And in 2017, in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday, you can explore all these for free! Parks Canada is waiving entrance fees to all the parks and historic sites in the coun- try. And boat owners won’t have to pay lockage fees on Canada’s historic canals. “I invite Canadians to experience and learn more about our environment and our history,” Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna stated in a release. “Whether at a nation- al park or historic site, or along a heritage canal, these treasured sites allow Canadi- ans to experience history and nature in a special way, and they will play a big part in the celebration of our country.” Special experiences certainly await at Canada’s parks. Have you ever bedded down in a yurt, tried camping in an oTEN- Tik (a cross between a tent and a rustic cabin), or slept in a teepee? A weekend in a comfortable oTENTik at Thousand Islands National Park could include sea kayaking on the St. Lawrence. At nearby Fort Wellington, built during the War of 1812, you might taste historic treats, try on authentic dress, and fire a cannon. There are even whiskey tastings in June and August. At Georgian Bay National Park, the whole family can share a cabin at Cedar Springs or two can get cosy at Christian Beach. Head out on the hiking trails or just relax on the beach. Rentals include the boat ride to beautiful Beausoleil Island, part of the cultural landscape of the Anishinaa- beg of the southern Georgian Bay region. “This is the year to explore Canada,” says Eric Magnan with Parks Canada “There are lots of little treasures across this coun- try.” He has some suggestions for some unique experiences at Canada’s parks: At Rocky Mountain National Park, an oft-forgotten gem between Jasper and Banff in Alberta, you try a heritage camp- ing experience in a real teepee. Head to Ottawa during Canada’s birth- day celebrations, where Laurie House, in cooperation with the Cordon Bleu School, offers historic dining and teas. Or ride a voyageur canoe down the Rideau Canal. At Fundy National Park in New Bruns- wick, you can swim with salmon for sci- ence. Or would you like to canoe and hike to Grey Owl’s cabin in Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan? Many of Canada’s parks are Dark Sky Pre- serves. At national parks like Elk Island in Alberta, or Point Pelee or Bruce Peninsu- la parks in Ontario, or Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia, you can see the night sky in all its starry glory, without city lights obstruct- ing the view. Nine parks are members of the Royal Astronomical Society’s Dark Sky Preserve and offer special events for enthusiastic astronomer wannabes. Toronto is home to the Rouge National Urban Park, the only urban park in the system. On their doorsteps, Torontonians can find amazing biodiversity, some of the last remaining working farms in the Greater Toronto Area, Carolinian ecosys- tems, Toronto’s only campground, one of the region’s largest marshes, unspoiled beaches, great hiking opportunities, and human history dating back more than 10,000 years, including some of Canada’s oldest known Indigenous sites. The first step is to send for your free pass. Visit http://www.pc.gc.ca to order yours. Be sure to allow plenty of time (it can take more than two weeks) for your pass to be sent. Eric Mangan has several suggestions for getting the most from your free passes: Whether you want accommodation or just to visit for the day, book well in advance. Some parks, like Bruce Penin- sula, are so popular, the line-ups can be frustrating Shoulder seasons in spring and fall are typically less busy, so plan to visit then. Check the Parks Canada website – www. pc.gc.ca – for interesting and unusual things to see and do to maximize your experience Don’t forget Parks Canada’s National Historic Sites where you can revisit old battles, learn about important figures from the past and get a real taste of history For more inside tips and ideas, look for National Geographic’s Guide to the National Parks of Canada and Guide to the National Historic Sites of Canada.

Time to consider your legacy: May is all about giving Each year, as the weather gets warmer and we are reminded that new life is upon us, and of the importance of philanthropy, making a difference in the community and considering planned giving. Leave a legacy month is a community- based awareness campaign that encour- ages donations through a will, an estate or through another method of planned giving. First established more than 10 years ago, the campaign works to connect donors with charitable organizations. But with the arrival of this philanthropic month, comes the realization that there are many ways to give and many organizations that have a demonstrated need. So where do you start? Typically planned giving involves a donation or a gift made during lifetime or death that is part of the donor’s financial or estate planning. There are many ways to leave a gift for an organization, includ- ing allocating money, securities or stocks, real estate or even items such as artwork or automobiles. Donors can give an outright gift that uses appreciated assets as a substitute for cash, a gift that returns income or other financial benefits to the donor in return for their contribution, or gifts that are payable upon the donor’s death. In addition to receiving tax receipts, there are often other benefits associated with planned giving. For details specific to a donation you are considering, consult with a financial planner or tax specialist. Start your search by considering orga- nizations that do work that is aligned with your personal values. Are you a service minded individual? An animal enthusiast? There is a non-profit organization to match every interest. Once you have completed your search on the organization you would like to work with, the next step is to reach out to the organization and to your finan- cial planner. Figure out what type of gift you are looking to leave and learn the steps that will need to be completed on your end and what is required from the organiza- tion. As every group is different, make sure to put some research time into it. Below are a few organizations to help you start your search: The Salvation Army Providing compassionate services to men, women and children in your com- munity. Your gift helps The Salvation Army to help those in need overcome poverty, homelessness, addiction and mental ill- ness across Canada and around the world by providing the necessities of life. Consult with your financial planner to discuss leav- ing a gift for The Salvation Army. For more information contact www.thesalvationar- my.ca or contact George Warkentin, senior gifts planner at george.warkentin@can.sal- vationarmy.org The War Amps Since 1918, The War Amps has met the needs of war amputees. Today, the asso- ciation continues to serve them, and all Canadian amputees, including children. The Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program provides financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. You can continue the legacy of “ampu- tees helping amputees” with a charitable bequest or gift in your will. With your help, The War Amps is able to operate its many programs through donations from the public. The Association does not receive government grants. For more informa- tion about leaving a legacy gift to The War Amps, visit www.waramps.ca or contact 1-800-363-4067. Ontario SPCA Each year, tens of thousands of ani- mals in desperate need of shelter, care and compassion are brought to Ontario SPCA branches and affiliated humane societies. In addition to providing animal shelter- ing, rehabilitation and adoption services, the society is responsible for enforcing the province’s animal cruelty laws. The Ontar- io SPCA relies on the kindness of its donors to keep the shelters open and investiga- tors on the street - creating kinder com- munities. There are many ways to create a planned giving plan. For information visit www.ontariospca.ca Nature Conservancy of Canada Striving to protect natural areas and biological diversity across all regions of Canada, the Nature Conservancy of Canada works with local communities and partners to preserve the natural environment and its species.

Since writing about the stress and guilt that can go along with caring for an aging parent, I have had a few inquiries about support for caregivers. When you are juggling all of the demands of your life and trying to man- age care for a loved one, it can be incred- ibly stressful and there are times when you just don’t know how you will man- age another day. When my father was declining, I was working full time and had two small chil- dren at home who were three and six, and my stepson came to us every other weekend at that time. I remember feel- ing guilty all the time. I felt guilty if I was with my children or at work and not with my dad and I felt guilty when I was with my dad because my little one would cry every time I left the house. I remember feeling like I just wasn’t doing anything well. I didn’t talk about it often but I remember someone saying to me “your children will not be little forever. They will grow and it will get easier. This is a temporary situation.” What he didn’t say was that, at some point, your father will pass and you also won’t have the stress of watching him decline. That was a light bulb moment for me. He was right. When you are in the mid- dle of a very stressful situation, it feels heavy and very much like it will last for- ever. You can’t see beyond it. But that conversation gave me a bit of a jolt. It made me realize that the way I felt in that moment was not how I would feel for the rest of my life. I suddenly realized it will get easier and it did. Unfortunately, my father did ulti- mately pass away and my children did grow. They are now strong, beautiful teenagers who are fiercely independent with bright futures ahead of them. Life is good. I started writing to provide informa- tion to those who are currently going through what I have been through but I am beginning to realize that there is still more to do. So, I am planning an eve- ning for caregivers in Durham Region. The date and location will be announced next month but, if you are interested, please email me at aseniorsfriend16@ gmail.com. I would like to get a sense of how many would attend so I know how big a venue we will need. Please understand. I am not a social worker nor am I a psychologist. This is not intended to be therapy or counsel- ling. It is merely meant to be a gathering of people who have similar experiences to support each other. --- Anne Murphy is the senior's col- umnist for Forever Young.
