The incident occurred on a GO Transit bus between Yorkdale Station and Ajax at about 6 p.m. May 15. Toronto police said a 19-year-old woman was approached by a man who struck up a conversation that turned sexual in nature. The man then sexually assaulted the woman, police said. The suspect, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, is about six feet tall with a medium build. He has shoulder-length brown hair parted in the middle and was unshaven with a moustache, goatee, and brown eyes. He wore a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and sandals and carried a white plastic bag. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.

Police investigate report of knife found in south Ajax park Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com AJAX — Police are investigating the dis- covery of a knife at a south Ajax playground. Investigators so far aren’t speculating about the intent of the person who left a knife in a park near Love Crescent, Durham police spokesperson Jodi MacLean said Fri- day. The discovery was reported Thursday evening, May 18, she said. “It was reported to us that a blade was attached to a swing,” MacLean said. A picture of the knife, which appeared to be affixed to the bottom of a swing seat, was posted on social media. It’s not known if the knife was planted with intent to injure, MacLean said. “It’s too soon to say right now,” she said, adding an investigation continues. Anyone with information about this or similar incidents is asked to call police at 905-579-1520.

ThankyouLadies, Couldn’thavedoneitwithout you Bruce W, Pickering ADVERTISING FEATURE This June, the Whitby Courthouse Theatre’s Youth Group (WCTYG) will be presenting Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka. This play tells the story of Willy Wonka, a candy maker who is looking to retire and needs to find a successor. He creates a contest and hides five golden tickets in his chocolate bars. The five children who find these golden tickets get to go on a tour of the chocolate factory, where they are eliminated one by one as they visit each of his imaginative rooms. It’s their disobedience that takes them out of the running, leaving just the child who is pure of heart to take over the chocolate factory. The cast of the play is made up entirely of youth from grades six to 11. Some are brand new to the stage, including the young man playing the lead, Charlie, who is in sixth grade and a first year member of the WCTYG. Others have been in the group for years, with several productions already under their belts. The other lead, Willy Wonka, is being played by the group’s longest standing and most experienced member, who is in the eleventh grade. The family-friendly play promises to be lively and energetic, with lots of music, bright colours and humour. “It’s really a lot of fun,” says producer Tracy Church. “There’s lots of fast dialogue that will get you laughing and the grandparents in the play are hilarious.” The play’s director is also young, trying her hand at directing at the age of 23. Nicole Vezeau was a former member of the WCTYG and was the choreographer of several past productions. Rehearsals started in January and the kids are gearing up for opening night next month. “This group of kids is really quite good,” says Tracy. “They really look out for each other. It’s been great to see some of our more experienced performers working with the kids that are new to the group and teaching them the ropes.” Willy Wonka will be presented on June 8 to 10, 15 to 17 at 8 p.m. and on June 11 and 18 at 2p.m. Tickets are $22 or $17 each when you buy four or more, and are available online, in-person at Lafontaine at 100 Brock Street South in Whitby or by calling 905-430-3774. Whitby Courthouse Theatre is located at 416 Centre Street South in Whitby.

Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — It’s not uncommon to see carp swimming in the shallow waters that have made their way onto the boardwalk in Pickering these days. The water level of Lake Ontario is so high that it’s spilled over the shoreline and onto the land, and the water that’s risen onto the boardwalk is ideal for mating, as carp and northern pike prefer shallow water. “Flooded shoreline is great habitat for wildlife, especially during the spring breed- ing season,” said Gord MacPherson, the Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity’s (TRCA) associate director of habitat res- toration. Arnold Mostert, the City of Pickering’s senior co-ordinator of landscape and parks development, has never seen as much water from Lake Ontario lap onto Picker- ing’s waterfront as he has in the past couple of weeks. “I’ve been working for the city for about nine years,” he said. Water levels have reached all-time highs in Pickering and other parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) following heavy rainfall and strong winds. MacPherson said the highest static water levels ever recorded at Frenchman’s Bay were 75.82 metres above sea level, in 1974. “The shoreline was so bad, people were being removed from their houses,” he said. MacPherson explained the TRCA bought those houses, and now they’re public parks. On May 18, after heavy rainfall and high- speed winds, the water level was recorded at 75.917 metres above sea level. “The Pickering shoreline is in good shape, to be honest with you,” MacPherson said. ”There might be minor things but not as traumatic as with other location in the GTA.” What’s different from 1974 is the natural protection of Pickering’s shoreline. “We’ve done a lot of work on the west shore of Frenchman’s Bay to restore the dunes,” MacPherson said, adding more than 30 years have been spent restoring that beach into a beach dune system with grass and cot- tonwood trees. The TRCA is working with municipali- ties to monitor and protect infrastructure and maintain public safety in areas impacted along the shoreline. Still, more than two weeks after heavy rains caused some portions of Pickering’s waterfront to temporarily close, Pickering still has portions shut down. “It just shows you the power of mother nature,” said Rob Gagen, the city’s supervisor of parks operations. A portion of the Waterfront Trail is tempo- rarily closed until further notice, specifical- ly east of Millennium Square at Beachfront Park, which is located at the south end of Liv- erpool Road and leading east to Alex Rob- ertson Park, which is accessed from Sandy Beach Road. The Beachfront Park playground and vol- leyball court are also closed. “With the wind and the high water we have had to close it down,” said Mostert. Even the concrete padding under the memorial benches has eroded, which staff will address once the water levels recede. “We’re likely just to pick everything up and move it back, and relocate in that site somewhere else that isn’t susceptible to ero- sion,” said Gagen. Beachpoint Promenade is closed to vehicular traffic east of the first parking lot. Additionally, there is no access to the public boat launch until further notice due to exces- sive flooding. Mostert said some of the rocks have come out of the harbour entrance. “We’ll end up having to revisit that as time goes on to replace the smaller rocks to fill in some of the voids,” he said. He explained the city is currently working on the detailed design of the waterfront mas- ter plan. “We’re revisiting the elevation of the future boat launch and that parking area just so we don’t experience it being under water at times,” he said. The high water levels have a lot to do with water coming into Lake Ontario from sources outside of the Great Lakes Basin, MacPher- son explained. For example, the Ottawa River is not contained and has increased the outflow of Lake Ontario. “It’s new water on the Great Lakes Basin,” said MacPherson. “Rain can travel halfway around the world.” He believes that static water levels should plateau soon. The city hopes that’s correct. “We just hope that the lake levels recede and we can get back to regular business,” Gagen said. Staff cannot assess the costs associated with the damage at this time.

As part of a newly updated Pickering Agri- cultural Lease Renewal Strategy, Transport Canada will begin offering agricultural ten- ants on the Pickering lands lease terms for 10 years and will adjust agricultural rental rates, which will be fixed, effective April 1, 2018. “First and foremost, we’re cautiously opti- mistic and we see it as a huge step in the right direction,” said Mary Delaney, chairwoman of Land Over Landings, a group committed to stopping development of the lands and using them instead as a regional food hub. The land was expropriated by the federal government in the 1970s to make way for an airport, and residents and farmers have been renting ever since. The new strategy focuses only on agricul- tural lease agreements and a limited number of mixed-use farm properties on the lands. There are currently no plans to change the leasing strategy for the residential properties. No decisions have been made on the devel- opment of a potential airport in Pickering, and a study commissioned by the feds on the matter is still underway. Land Over Landings and Green Durham Association are also funding a study on the agricultural and rural growth opportunities for the area. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O’Connell has met with Transport Minis- ter Marc Garneau many times regarding the potential airport issue. She strongly advocat- ed for this new approach to farming the land after her meetings with stakeholders and farmers convinced her of the opportunity for jobs, economic growth and agricultural inno- vation if longer-term leases and fixed rental rates were put in place. Past leases were for one year only. “Transport Canada’s updated lease agree- ments will provide agricultural lease hold- ers with the ability to make sound business decisions as a result of longer tenures, while also ensuring a fair return to Canadian tax- payers by taking into consideration market rates for comparable agricultural lands,” said O’Connell. The government will now charge $120 per workable acre, compared to $40 currently, which has been unchanged for the past 20 years. Transport Canada is notifying agricultural tenants of the new leasing structure in spring 2017, so they can prepare for the new imple- mentation next spring. Delaney is concerned with the increase in rent, especially for the longtime farmers. She hopes the government will help mitigate the increases. She has one other criticism. “Ultimately what you want is the land to be in long-term leases so farmers can invest,” she said. “That said, 10 years is not long enough, not nearly long enough.” She said 10 years may allow some farm- ers to get loans or purchase equipment, but it’s not enough time to let them change their method of farming or to allow them to make major infrastructure changes. “For that, farmers will need much lon- ger leases and over all, the guarantee of no airport, which is why we continue to work toward protecting the lands in perpetuity,” she said. However, Delaney does feel the news indi- cates the federal government is seriously con- sidering farming the land instead of building an airport. Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pickles said, “I think giving greater confidence to tenants up there is a good thing. Nobody wants to be on a year-to-year lease.” He questioned if an airport were to go ahead, would the government be allowed to terminate the leases? O’Connell was quick to assure that would not be the case. “We would not have moved forward with 10 year-leases if they weren’t set in stone,” she said, adding this news really means an airport will not go ahead for at least 11 years if it ever does, since the 10-year leases go into effect in 2018. Feds extend farm leases on Pickering airport lands Submitted photo PICKERING — Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O’Connell has been working with the minister of transport to change the way farming is conducted on the federal lands in Pickering designated for a potential airport. A change that will be in affect as of April 2018 will be the exten- sion of year-to-year leases to 10-year agreements. 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 2 4 , 2 0 1 7 5 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.683.2760 Service Disruption 1.877.420.4666 Customer Care Centre 905.683.7575 (24 hour line) customercare@pickering.ca pickering.ca @cityofpickering@cityofpickering SeniorsMonthCelebration&BigBand Sunday,June11 2:00pm-4:00pm PickeringRecreationComplex 55+eventfeaturinglivemusicalentertainmentby TheGeorgeLakeBigBand.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinionour opinionour opinion column Every time unemployment num- bers are reported in the media, I find they lack helpful information. What is missing from the reports is the story behind the numbers; what’s real- ly happening out there? Reading the news and hearing commentators talk about the latest releases from Statistics Cana- da’s labour market data can be difficult to understand. So let’s break it down. Statistics Canada is responsible for col- lecting and releasing the monthly labour force survey (LFS) results for census met- ropolitan areas (CMAs) that reports the monthly employment, unemployment and participation rates. My organization loves data and through this column wants to help explain the numbers to make them useful to Durham residents. As Durham Region covers two CMAs, the Durham Workforce Authority (DWA) uses the Oshawa CMA as a proxy for the region. The Oshawa CMA includes the populations of Oshawa, Whitby and Clar- ington. The LFS is released monthly and pro- vides breakdowns of the employment rates. It provides estimates of employ- ment and unemployment. It is important to examine those rates to understand how Durham is doing compared to other areas and to find out where the jobs are in our region. The LFS report for April showed the unemployment rate for everyone 15 and over was 6.3 per cent and unemployment for youth was 12.4 per cent. So what does this mean? Traditionally, youth unemployment is double all other rates of unemployment, so 12.4 per cent is not horrible. It would be better if it was lower, as Oshawa has had some challenges with youth unemployment in the last few years. But currently, Oshawa CMA youth unemployment is in the middle of the pack for Ontario, with higher youth unemploy- ment in Barrie (13.6), Hamilton and Kings- ton (11.4), and Toronto at 13.8. Youth unemployment should decrease leading into the summer months as pro- grams such as Canada Summer Jobs and Summer Jobs Service help employers hire summer students. But come Septem- ber, the youth unemployment rate should climb back to the 12.4 per cent rate. If you want more information about the labour force survey and other local labour market information, please contact the DWA at admin@durhamwa.ca. — Heather McMillan is the executive director of the Durham Workforce Authority. The organization provides local workforce information and champions workforce development initiatives unique to Durham Region. The labour force behind the numbers Heather mcmillan Guest columnist letter to tHe editor In Durham, we like to believe our sub- urban streets are safer than those of neigh- bouring Toronto, that persistent problems of crime and prostitution are less of a factor out here in the eastern GTA. A great narrative, if only it was true. The reality is sex trafficking is a pernicious crim- inal activity in Durham, with young teen girls preyed upon and exploited by unscru- pulous pimps. In 2016, the Durham Regional Police Service received 114 incidents of reported human trafficking assigned to investigators on the human trafficking team, resulting in 133 women in the sex trade being inter- viewed. A total of 61 pimps were also iden- tified operating in Durham and 16 were charged, according to a recent report to the police services board. The trauma these young victims expe- rience while escaping sex trafficking is immense. A Clarington-based organization — SafeHope Home — is dedicated to help- ing these young sex trafficking survivors get out and stay out of the sex trade. Appearing at a recent Clarington council meeting, SafeHope Home representatives provided information of a new Durham long-term recovery program to support these young women formerly in the sex trade. As well, the organization is launching a day program — one day a week in Oshawa and Ajax — to give them access to educa- tion, counselling, life skills and job training. “We’re in this to help these young ladies that are throughout our community,” explained Larry Shanks, executive director of SafeHope Home. “It’s much more preva- lent than people realize.” How prevalent? Shanks said he was sur- prised to learn from police officers that females who have been trafficked are forced to work in the early morning between 5 and 9 a.m. at motels along the Hwy. 401 corri- dor. “Some men will have breakfast with their families and on their way to work they will stop by the hotel,” said Shanks. “I’m not easily shocked but that did shock me. … This really isn’t OK.” A co-operative, multifaceted approach to sex trafficking is needed in Durham. Thankfully, that’s what is occurring. In addition to SafeHope Home, Durham women’s shelters are working with police to provide support for sex trafficking victims. Shelters are making emergency space avail- able, and have in the past helped some find their way back home. For its part, Durham police’s human trafficking team reaches out to teenaged girls in local high schools, educating them on the risks associated with getting into the sex trade. Mostly, though, it’s heartening to know victims in Durham are being helped and have a place to go to escape the scourge of sex trafficking. Giving sex trafficking victims in Durham a safe haven Technology has its disadvantages for youth, says reader To the editor: The word ‘childhood’ has gained a new interpretation in the past 20 years. It is hard to deny that the number of children who choose gaming and texting exceeds the number of children who still appreci- ate what the natural environment has to offer. Why learn how to ride a bike when you can order an Uber? Why go outside and enjoy the sun when you can feel the light radiating from your phone screen? Why build forts when you can build a pro- file? The terms and conditions of technol- ogy are becoming more kid-friendly. This gives children of today a new sense of responsibility that has never been offered before. However, is this how you want your child growing up? Will future generations lack basic life and social skills due to this obsession with technology? Are the youth of today at serious risk? These questions are difficult to answer, considering all of the aspects surrounding this controver- sy. Between 1999 and 2014, child obesity rates for ages 12-19 increased by 3.3 per cent, and children have more violent ten- dencies. Some believe this may be directly linked to the youth’s obsession with tech- nology. What do you believe?

England’s Parliament has debated and the Bank of England confirmed that money is merely a bookkeeping exercise and not an intrinsic commodity, a bookkeeping exercise governed (or not) by accounting laws. Those laws, in turn, are created by the law makers we elect. To put the ‘debt problem’ into perspec- tive, those of us who have a mortgaged residence have a debt burden. Likewise, those of us who live in cities, provinces and countries have a debt burden. If we were to sell our residences, we could discharge our debt burden. Likewise, if we were to sell out roads, sidewalks, sew- age plants, national parks, public buildings and water works we could easily pay off our public debt burden. Ed GoertzenOshawa Resident surprised DDSB approved Muslim educators network group To the editor: Re: ‘New Durham Muslim Educators Network aims to get ahead of the curve’, news, durhamregion.com As a resident of Durham Region for the past 19 years, and with two kids through the school system from junior to high school in the region, I am very much surprised that the Durham board of education approved this network plan by the Muslim educators. Did they not ask about the other kids (different religion) that are enrolled in all the schools in the region? As educators in the current school system, are they not aware and to see first-hand the concerns other kids from other religious backgrounds also go through? Why only a Muslim Edu- cators Network? Durham is not changing. Durham has changed, but it includes every- one and diversity has always been present. Do not try to make it an issue. What these two individuals should be doing and what would work is to partner and collaborate with other educators (non-Muslims) in the region and to create a network/database that includes all. Bill Rattan Whitby Local residents push for better treatment and funding for developmentally disabled adults To the editor: On May 10, there was a small but mighty group of us from Oshawa and Whitby who made our way to Queen’s Park to join in the rally for funding for developmentally disabled adults. This is an issue that really transcends politics. Political parties change over the years, but the issues remain. It is simply morally right to provide support dollars for our most vulnerable citizens. As it stands, the government has put taxpayers’ dollars into a huge organization, Developmental Services Ontario, to put people through a very intrusive assessment process in order to determine the funding level needed by the individual. Once that is determined, the person is placed on a wait list for an indefinite length of time. People on the wait list continue to wait while crisis situations move to the front of the line. While families are busy trying to pro- actively plan a good life for their children, the DSO is providing stopgap dollars to the most desperate situations. The result is that people are placed in hospitals, long- term care facilities, etc., where they do not belong. In this way, lives, as well as tax dol- lars, are being wasted. This is just one issue among many that negatively affect our society. There are great possibilities for people when we work to build an inclusive society. Every- one can benefit. Our small group that went to Queen’s Park represented thousands of families across Ontario who want a good life for their loved ones, no more and no less than any other citizen. Eleanor Werner Oshawa Telephone manners lacking in today’s society To the editor: I recently had a phone call from a woman who asked if I was “Jeffrey”. I asked who was calling, and was again told to identify myself. This happened several times. As the person did not seem to be a telemarketer, I acceded and was then told that it was my doctor’s office calling about an appointment. At the end of the conversation, I was very sharply told that I should identify myself in future. Firstly, I believe that the onus is on the caller to identify themselves, and I consid- er identifying myself upfront to be option- al. Additionally, telemarketers typically do not identify themselves, and I don’t want them knowing that they have a legitimate phone number. In any event, I believe that it is in the best interest for legitimate call- ers to identify themselves, and that com- mon courtesy requires that they do so. I am very annoyed about this, and con- sider it to be a searing indictment of our educational system and common cour- tesy, particularly coming from a medi- cal secretary. Standards seem to be rap- idly declining, and as I am now a senior requiring a substantial amount of medi- cal attention, such ignorance, if it contin- ues, may determine who my doctor is in future.

Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — After announcing funds for a new Grandview Children’s Centre were part of Ontario’s 2017 budget, the province signed off on the bill, officially committing to $31 million in funding for the new facility. Currently located in Oshawa, Grand- view Children’s Centre opened in the early ‘80s and was designed to serve just 400 children. Since then, Durham Region’s population has grown, and Grandview now serves more than 5,600 children and youth annually. The Town of Ajax has donated lands for a new Grandview facility, and with sup- port from various levels of government as well as the community as a whole, the goal is to open a new centre by 2020. Tracy MacCharles made the official funding announcement on behalf of the minister of children and youth services. MacCharles was emotional as she spoke, tearing up and pointing out that she, too, is a Grandview mom. “I, for one, am personally grateful for the support my son received,” she said. “They provide specialized programs, out- patient clinic treatments, and supports to thousands of children and youth with special needs and their families.” MacCharles said the new centre will be “life-changing” for Durham children and will create 30 to 40 per cent more spaces. “With today’s announcement, we are committing to an ongoing partnership that was established many years ago, and will continue for years to ensure children with special needs have the help and the services they need right here at home in Durham Region,” she said. Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann, Grand- view’s executive director, said the total project cost for the new centre is about $50 million. After municipal partners have stepped up to contribute, Grand- view officials will be heading to Ottawa next week to ask the federal government to chip in. Once the new facility is built, Grand- view can pursue operational funding to reduce wait lists for families. “It just means we’re going to be able to deliver what the children and families need as an essential service,” said Sun- strum-Mann. “Currently we have about 2,800 kids on the waiting list; that’s the highest ever.” She said she wanted to thank all the citizens of Durham who did their part in working toward the new facility. Oshawa resident Krista Ormsby was on hand for the announcement with her three-year-old son Nolan, who has been waiting for occupational therapy servic- es for almost a year and finally had an assessment in March. He’s also on the waiting list for a developmental assess- ment. He’s been attending speech thera- py for almost a year and Ormsby said he’s made significant improvements. The mother welcomed the funding announcement that many Grandview parents had rallied for. “It’s great that it’s finally happened. A lot of families are finally going to get the services they need in a more timely man- ner.” Ormsby said it’s wonderful parents’ voices were heard. “There’s a lot of families who have been working on this for 10 years ... it’s a huge part of our community and it helps so many children.” Province announces $31 million for newGrandview Children’s Centre in Durham Ron Pietroniro / Metroland OSHAWA -- Grandview Children’s Centre will receive $31 million from the Province of Ontario for the construction of a new centre in Ajax. Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles made the announcement on behalf of the minister of children and youth services. An emotional MacCharles who is a Grandview mom, was proud to finally make the announcement in front of a packed house of staff, dignitaries and clients of Grandview.

Durham Real Estate, Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Dr. Joan Abohweyere As a general paediatrician at Lak- eridge Health, I often see children who are referred with concerns of autism. Autism is a life-long developmental dis- order of the brain and some of the first signs of autism can be noticed within the first year of a child’s life. Autism affects these three areas of development in a child: communication and language; social interaction with other people, and behaviour. There are several early signs that are fairly easy to spot simply by watching your child. Parents will want to watch for a child who isn’t babbling, or making sounds and simple gestures by the age of 11 months. Most infants tend to point at objects by the age of nine months and begin to show early signs of communication with those around them. If your child isn’t responding to his or her name, or isn’t using single words by 16 months of age, not hitting some of these communications milestones could be early signs of autism. Pay close attention to how your child plays. Does your child play the same as his or her peers? A child with autism will tend to play with the same toy in the same way, over and over again. Instead of playing with the toy as a whole, he or she may fixate on only a small detail or piece of the toy. How your child interacts socially with others is also important. Does your toddler watch other chil- dren play rather than joining them? A child with autism will often play beside other children, sometimes doing their own thing, sometimes copying how the others play, but very much playing by themselves. Watch your child’s facial expressions closely. Does he or she smile or make eye contact easily? By four or five months, infants should have developed what we call “a social smile” or the ability to smile in reaction to or in communication with their par- ents and other people around them. If you’re noticing any of these signs, it may mean you need to talk to your fam- ily doctor, who may refer your child to see a developmental paediatrician, who specializes in diagnosing autism. An early diagnosis is important because the sooner a child begins treat- ment the better their outcome will be. 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 2 4 , 2 0 1 7 13 AP We have solutions for allyour leaks! mclellancontracting.ca (905) 767-1240 Roofing •WindowsWaterproofing Built On Integrity Since 1995 JULYCAMPS3 WEEKS TO CHOOSE FROM: Register online @ www.pickeringsoccer.ca/Registration OR atPickering Soccer Centre at 1975 Clements Rd., Pickering • 905-831-9803 Sponsored by: Multi-SportCamp Open to U5-U12 (2005-2012 birth years) Boys and Girls All sessions led by qualified PSC coaches and young leaders DevelopmentCamp Open to U8-U12 (2008-2012 birth years) Boys and Girls All sessions led by high performance coaches, DUFA players $16 8JULY 4-7 $210JULY 24-28 $210JULY 17-21 All campers receive a T-shirt and pizza lunch on Friday.

When my son Owen was diagnosed in November of 2010, he was one of approximately 123 known cases of his deletion, 9q34.3, worldwide. Even the geneticist had to Google the diagno- sis and the results were limited. The syn- drome had only just been discovered and the testing was not yet readily available. I read everything that I could on the subject and I was desperate to find other parents who understood what I was going through, meet other children with the same diagno- sis and see how they were doing. Yet there was no community sup- port group for families with Kleefstra syn- drome (Ks). In fact, there were no families that I could find in Ontario, let alone in our community. I had to cast a wider net. My first contact with other families who might understand was through Unique, the rare chromosome support group at www.rare- chromo.org. The group out of the United Kingdom is run by other parents of children with rare disorders and gave me a feeling of relief knowing I was not alone. This group mailed me a list of email addresses for fam- ilies with Ks looking to connect. I still have the original list they mailed me seven years ago. It was like a life preserver. I reached out and as the days passed gradually received emails from some families in Europe. Then, it hap- pened; I received an invitation to join a group on Facebook. It was a small group, but it was a mighty group. Families from all over the world, even Canada, and bet- ter yet, Ontario who had children with a Ks diagnosis. Emily Perl Kingsley in her article Welcome to Holland, about having a child with special needs, says “You will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.” I have met some AMAZ- ING people online. Even though most of us have never met in person, they have become like family. We connect daily, cel- ebrate and grieve together. Our summer vacations are planned around Ks meet ups in an effort to spend time with others who truly ‘get it’. These events are planned entirely online, and often the first time we meet is when we all arrive to spend the weekend together. That small group has now grown to over 550 members. Facebook allows us the opportunity to share information with- out language barriers, across time zones and when we are up all night searching for answers. More than once I have posed a question while in the doctor’s office or emergency room, only to have comments of support and suggestions of questions to ask before the doctor arrives. The internet is vast, but it makes our world smaller. It allows us to make connections we could not otherwise make, and in real time. If you’re a parent that feels they have no support, know you’re not alone. We are here, just a keystroke away. -- Andrea Belanger is a Registered Early Childhood Educator and Special Needs Mom who has worked in the Family Networking Program at Grandview Children’s Centre for the past four years.

Just keep moving Dory was right to just keep swimming Many of us think that becoming less active is a normal part of aging…..but it doesn’t have to be! The old adage is true, if you don’t use it you will lose it! Dory from the movie Finding Nemo was onto something -- as we get older it’s important to remember to just keep swimming or in our case to just keep moving. Exercise across the lifespan is essential to keep our bodies working at their best. We have all heard about why we need to exercise, but what if it’s too painful to exercise? What if you get too short of breath? What if you don’t even think you should be exercising with your health condition for fear of making it worse? As a physiotherapist, I work with patients to assess, prescribe, and moni- tor exercise for conditions like heart dis- ease, COPD, arthritis, and many more. I also collaborate with doctors and spe- cialists about any specific restrictions a patient may have. There are many different forms of exercise that you can participate in depending upon your age, ability and health. What you did for exercise when you were 16 may not be the recommend- ed type of exercise that you do when you are 61. For those of you that are healthy and interested in boosting your amount of physical activity here are a few tips you can incorporate into your routine today! Go for a walk after lunch and/or din- ner Park 10 spaces further away from the entrance Walk around the field while your kids/ grandkids are playing sports Take the stairs instead of an escalator/ elevator Set up your printer at the end of the hall of your workplace Have walking meetings with your col- leagues/managers Remember, every little bit counts, so keep moving! If you need help knowing how to start or keep moving throughout your lifespan, ask a Physiotherapist so you can start living your best life today. #PHYSIOHELPESLIVES.
