seniors,
newcomers
learn to skate

PICKERING — It was a no-brainer for
Anil Ratnaparkhi to take up ice skating.
“I’m in Canada so I wish to take every
venture,” said the Pickering resident, who
moved from India to Canada in 2002.
And it didn’t matter that he was 67 when
he took his first stride on the ice, since
a program is available in Pickering that
teaches seniors how to skate.
“This is good,” Ratnaparkhi said, after
carefully making his way around the ice on
a recent Friday morning, “I’m learning.”
Although the City of Pickering’s Learn
to Skate 55-Plus program is geared toward
seniors, younger newcomers have become
part of the weekly crew that skates togeth-
er.
Sheryl Manoharan, 41, also original-
ly from India, wanted to learn to skate so
she could keep up with her four-year-old
daughter, who skates with her husband.
“I want to do it all together,” Manoharan
said.
She started the program in the fall.
“I always come here with a pit in my
stomach,” she said. “You look at it, and it
seems very hard.”
But when she gets on the ice, she real-
izes it isn’t so bad.
“I think you’re more afraid of falling,”
she said.
Instructor Richard Crumpton has
taught hockey for 40 years, and is the for-
mer director of hockey at the Canadian Ice
Academy. “To teach someone in their 60s
to skate is no different than teaching some-
one who is six years old,” he said.
In fact, it’s less challenging in ways.
“They want to learn,” he said. “Their
parents didn’t drag them here.”
When the program first began in the fall
of 2016, only four people joined up, but it
continues to grow.
“There are 14 people on the ice and no
two are the same,” Crumpton said.
The skating enthusiast starts each ses-
sion with a warm-up, and drills that skat-
ers at any level can do. The hour ends with
a free skate.
“They’re an amazing group,” he said of
the participants.
It’s open to skaters of all levels.
Joseph Runza, 64, clearly knows how to
use a pair of skates, and easily makes his
way around the ice. “My wife was looking
for something for me to get more exercise
besides going to the gym,” he said.
So Runza signed up for the weekly exer-
cise, and is happy to share his skating
knowledge with those newer to the ice.
“I think it’s a great program,” he said.
Runza also used the time to skate 100
laps in less than an hour in December in
order to raise funds for cancer research. He
ended up donating $7,000 to Michael Gar-
ron Hospital and Lakeridge Health Cancer
Centre.
The Learn to Skate program was the
result of the work of the seniors adviso-
ry council programming subcommittee,
of which Crumpton is a member. He also
teaches the wildly popular sport, pickle
ball. The program costs $42 for 10 weeks.
It’s pro-rated, so residents can join any
time throughout the program. All skaters
are required to wear a CSA helmet. The
program takes place Fridays from 8:30
to 9:30 a.m. in the Delaney Rink at the
Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley
Farm Rd.

PICKERING -- Stephen Chung held onto the boards during his first ever time on skates
during a 10-week learn to skate program at the Pickering Recreation Complex on
Feb. 2. Although it’s geared toward residents who are 55 and older, younger people
have been joining in as well.

New project will display

PICKERING — The City of Pickering
believes a new project will improve the
look of a railway overpass that experienc-
es its fair share of graffiti while providing
information through a digital sign.
Pickering is embarking on a new pro-
gram that will see digital signs on Cana-
dian National Railway overpasses and in
other areas in the city.
The proposal was passed at the execu-
tive committee meeting on Feb. 5.
“It was adopted unanimously by coun-
cil and I think that speaks to council’s
ongoing commitment to our communi-
ty,” Mayor Dave Ryan said.
The city is partnering with CN Railway
and RCC Media Inc. for the program that
will result in digital screens on CN over-
passes, and on monument-style signs,
located around the city.
“It’s going to give us an opportunity to
increase public engagement, get messag-
ing out and at the same time, it’s going to
allow us to promote the City of Pickering,”
said Ryan.
This partnership is meant to help
beautify CN bridge infrastructure and
enhance communication with Pickering
residents, businesses and visitors, and
to provide prominent space to display
messages during an emergency, or other
related issues, such as special weather
events.
Ryan thought the initiative would be
a good fit for Pickering when he noticed
signs in other municipalities on a train
ride.
The CN Rail overpass on Kingston
Road, which will get a sign, has long faced
challenges of unsightliness caused by
degradation and graffiti.
“Obviously, it addresses in part the
graffiti issue. It’s an ongoing issue for me,
it’s something I feel strongly about,” Ryan
said. “This is just one step in that process
of addressing the graffiti issue.”
He said to expect more initiatives in
the spring.
RCC Media’s proposal outlines a three-
phase approach. Staff will begin with the
first and move ahead with the other phas-
es following a review of results.
Phase 1, set to start in the spring, will
see the digital sign, which will feature an
LED screen, on the CN bridge overpass
on Kingston Road, west of Dixie Road.
RCC will also convert the static three-sid-
ed billboard, currently located within the
CN Rail corridor at the northwest corner
of Liverpool Road and Bayly Street, to dis-
play digital screens. Both of these signs
will allow for third-party advertising, as
well as messaging from the city.
Finally, RCC Media will add three new,
and one retrofitted, monument-style
signs with digital displays, in phase 1.
These signs will not display advertising.
Monument-style sign locations are:
Pickering Civic Complex; Centennial
Park (on Brock Road); Western Gateway
(Kingston and Altona Roads); and the
Pickering Recreation Complex, which is
to be retrofitted.
Some safety concerns were raised at
the executive committee meeting. Ward
2 regional Coun. Bill McLean questioned
whether the sings in busy areas will cause
distractions on busy roads.
But Ryan noted studies conducted by
the Transport Association of Canada and
the University of Toronto say otherwise.
“We’re very confident that they in fact
wont’ be a distraction,” said Mayor Ryan.
“They’re intrinsically safe.”
He added there is already a lot of sig-
nage out on the roads.
“This will be larger, it’s easier to read
quite frankly,” he said.
Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pickles
asked staff at the meeting if a sign is caus-
ing a problem, can it be removed.
“Absolutely, we will be monitoring it,”
said chief administrative officer Tony Pre-
vedel.
The financial commitment is limited
to the hydro and data communication
fees of the monument-style signs.
Other Canadian cities doing a simi-
lar program include Toronto, Brampton,
Vaughan, Markham, Calgary and Mon-
treal.
The plans will go to council for final
approval on Feb. 26.

A chance to expand her career options
and achieve personal and academic goals
was what Jocelyn Paley, a local student
from Oshawa, was looking for when she
started exploring transfer options from
her social service worker program at Dur-
ham College. And that’s exactly what she
found at Trent University Durham Greater
Toronto Area.
“Transferring from college to univer-
sity was a daunting experience; howev-
er, meeting with the academic adviser
at Trent University eased my nerves and
reassured me of the process. Transferring
credits was much simpler than expected,”
she said.
Jocelyn was surprised to find how
many credits she was able to transfer, and
how, as a result, she could take a reduced
course load her first year to help with the
adjustment to university. She noted that
the student support at Trent Durham GTA
including one-on-one academic advising
to plan for her courses also helped ease
the transfer transition.
I meet students like Jocelyn daily at
our Trent Durham campus. In fact, she’s
among the 60 per cent of students on cam-
pus who do not come directly from high
school and have either some work expe-
rience or come from a college or another
university.
With more than 25 agreements from
different colleges, Trent Durham GTA can
help students open new doors, whether
they’re interested in business, social work,
child and youth studies or communica-
tions as a career.
Combining a college diploma with a
university degree offers the hands-on-
training and critical thinking that employ-
ers are looking for today. There can also
be cost savings, allowing students to earn
both a degree and a diploma in a shorter
amount of time.
Trent Durham GTA offers students an
extraordinary academic and experien-
tial learning environment, and equips
students with the critical thinking neces-
sary for success in today’s complex, global
world of work.
Speaking of her program, Jocelyn says:
“I am really enjoying the bachelor of social
work program here at Trent University and
to this day, I feel supported by the staff
who work here.”
For students like Jocelyn, who are
transferring from college to university,
Trent also offers unique financial sup-
port, including the College to Trent Trans-
fer Award. Students looking to transfer to
Trent Durham GTA from any Ontario col-
lege in 2018, no matter the program, can
receive $500 toward their tuition.
Whether you’re a mature student look-
ing to change careers or upgrade quali-
fications, or a college student looking to
make the jump from a current diploma to
a degree, there are several pathways that
make it easy to earn a university degree
beyond the traditional pathway directly
from high school.
Transfer events where students can
enrol on the spot happen twice a year —
our next transfer student event at the Dur-
ham GTA campus will happen on Febru-
ary 23. I invite you to come, meet with an
academic adviser, chat with current trans-
fer students, and explore the supportive
campus community — there’s no better
way to discover whether Trent Durham
GTA is the right fit for you. Learn more at

Every school year students, teachers and
support staff get sick. It’s what happens when
you put hundreds of people in an enclosed
environment. Colds and flu bugs spread fast.
So it stands to reason the Durham Region
health department is doing everything it can
to ensure the health and well-being of every-
one in school, be it elementary or second-
ary. The Immunization of School Pupils Act
requires every student attending school to
either have an up-to-date immunization
record or a legal exemption. That is why notic-
es go out every year warning parents to have
their children’s vaccinations updated.
The health department sent 6,486 first
notices to high school students across Dur-
ham in October and November, and recently
sent out 3,357 final notices. It also sent 14,359
first notices to Durham elementary students
in November and December, followed by
3,946 final notices that started going out in
January.
“It’s based on health and safety for the stu-
dent and for everybody in the community as
well,” says Jaime Verastegui, a public health
nurse with the Durham Region health depart-
ment. “When a person doesn’t get infected, it
is protecting everyone.”
Students must have proof of immuniza-
tion against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, mea-
sles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal disease,
whooping cough and — for children born in
2010 or later — chickenpox.
It’s not very often you hear of students
coming down with mumps with vaccina-
tions for it since 1969. But it’s not unheard of
for outbreaks to occur. Last March, Toronto
Public Health dealt with 31 cases of mumps,
the worst mumps outbreak in Toronto’s recent
history. Mumps is a highly contagious disease.
Prior to the vaccine being approved by Health
Canada the average number of cases reported
per year in the 1950s was 34,000. That number
dropped to 79 cases per year between 2000
and 2006.
Students who fail to get their immunization
records updated could be suspended for up to
20 school days. After the 20 days is up they are
able to return to school again — but could be
suspended again the next school year if their
vaccination information is still not up-to-date.
While nobody wants to see any student get
suspended for that length of time we also do
not want to see an outbreak of mumps, mea-
sles, whooping cough etc. in our school sys-
tem. Parents need to be responsible and make
sure they’re doing everything they can to keep
their children healthy and protected.
One just has to look at the numbers to real-
ize vaccinations reduce the spread of disease.
Getting inoculated is the responsible thing to
do. We hope all those students across Durham
Region who have final notices from the health
department get their vaccinations updated
soon.
Keep our
students healthy
and happy in
their classrooms

Beware of 11 critical home inspection traps
before you list your Ajax/Pickering home for sale
Ajax/Pickering- According to industry
experts, there are over 33 physical problems
that will come under scrutiny during a
home inspection when your home is for
sale. A new report has been prepared which
identifies the eleven most common of these
problems, and what you should know about
them before you list your home for sale.
Whether you own an old home or a
brand new one, there are a number of things
that can fall short of requirements during
a home inspection. If not identified and
dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost
you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s
critical that you read this report before you
list your home. If you wait until the building
inspector flags these issues for you, you will
almost certainly experience costly delays
in the close of your home sale or, worse,
turn prospective buyers away altogether.
In most cases, you can make a reasonable
pre-inspection yourself if you know what
you’re looking for, and knowing what
you’re looking for can help you prevent
little problems from growing into costly and
unmanageable ones.
To help homesellers deal with this
issue before their homes are listed, a free
report entitled “11 Things You Need to
Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has
been compiled which explains the issues
involved.
To hear a brief recorded message about
how to order your FREE copy of this report
call toll-free 1-800-611-8940 and enter 1003.
You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days

doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

DURHAM — While love is in the air
this month, Durham’s violence preven-
tion coordinating committee needs help to
spread the word that #loveshouldntthurt.
“We’re trying to take advantage of Feb-
ruary as the month of love to say ‘Love
shouldn’t hurt,’ ” said Jaki MacKinnon,
executive director of Bethesda House
women’s shelter.
Durham’s violence prevention coordi-
nating committee — comprised of 32 local
organizations — kicked off a year-long
#loveshouldthurt campaign in Novem-
ber 2017 in response to a year that saw
Durham’s four violence against women
shelters bursting at the seams and three
domestic homicides.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day and
the “month of love” this February, the vio-
lence prevention coordinating committee
is asking everyone to get their friends, fam-
ily and work colleagues to fill out and post
a #loveshouldnthurt commitment post-
card. The postcards say “Because #love-
shouldnthurt I will …” and asks people to
think about what they can do to be part of
the solution and spread the message that
love shouldn’t hurt.
“You should be respectful (I put down
respect) and think before you do some-
thing that you may regret,” said Clarington
regional Coun. Willie Woo.
Supporters taking a stand against
domestic violence are asked to take a
photo of their commitment and upload
it to their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
using the hashtag #loveshouldnthurt. One
supporter will win $100.
The goal for the campaign is to increase
communication and awareness about the
serious issues of domestic violence and
violence against women. MacKinnon said
the hope is that increased awareness will
have a ripple effect in people’s attitudes,
actions and treatment of one another.

information and to get updates on the
#loveshouldnthurt campaign.

Tax season is just around the corner
and that means it’s time to start getting your
paperwork together and deciding who will be
completing your tax return.
Some people choose to do their own
tax returns, thinking it’s a simple process.
But the truth is that the tax
law is very complicated, and
more importantly, changes
every year. You don’t want
to be leaving money on the
table.
Gregory Badley is a Chartered
Professional Accountant (CPA) that
openedhisownbusiness13years
ago. Not only is he experienced
with all types of taxes, including
personal, business and corporate
taxes as well as associated taxes
such as HST, capital gains, etc.,
he also loves doing them! As a
member of and being regulated
by a professional association, he has to
attend tax seminars every year and keep
up to date with all tax changes which no
doubt will help his clients.
“I can sit for hours reading tax
literatures,” laughs Gregory. “Even on
vacation, I am reading tax bulletins.”
Don’t let his designation as a CPA scares
your wallet - his prices are very competitive
(generally $69 and $65 for seniors, plus
HST) and his knowledge and experience
may end up saving you more than his fee!
Gregory takes his time with your taxes,
reviewing every single return. He sits down
with his clients to go over their returns with

to avoid the rush, but to get your
refund sooner since all tax returns
are e-filed.

Re: ‘Ajax senior calls Durham
Region Transit’s bus stop move
‘inhuman’, news, Jan. 31
A resident of Harwood Manor
and a former resident (see letter
at left) recently expressed their
concerns about DRT services.
Understandable, as we all care
for our seniors and people with
mobility challenges to be well
served by public transit.
So here are a few things these
two gentlemen and perhaps other
readers may not know. The bus
stop in front of Harwood Manor,
which has been at the same loca-
tion for more than 10 years, was
upgraded with an accessible con-
crete pad and a bus shelter in
2013. The sporadic bus service
that used to go through the park-
ing lot of Harwood Manor faced
various sources of delays for peo-
ple on board and presented safety
issues.
So in 2016, that same service
was made both more reliable and
safer by keeping to the street in
front of the building. At the same
time, some of the residents whose
limited abilities make the short
walk to the bus stop a barrier to
travelling, have started using spe-
cialized transit services, whereby
a van comes and picks them up at
the door.
Back to the on-street service,
DRT now provides, through its
website, how many minutes away
the bus actually is from any of its
bus stops.
Because this information is in
real time, not just based on print-
ed schedules, it means that no
one has to get out and wait for the
bus for any longer than they need
to. DRT is working with Harwood
Manor toward improving access
to transit, including making this
real-time information easily
available to its residents.
Public transit has come a long
way in Durham over the past few
years, with increased service,
more direct routes, the PULSE
bus rapid transit corridor, all low-
floor buses, the PRESTO electron-
ic fare card, etc. And it just keeps
on getting better.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DRT’s bus stop
move inane,
idiotic, ignorant
as well as
inhuman says
former Harwood
Manor resident
To the editor:
Re: ‘Ajax senior calls Durham
Region Transit’s bus stop move
‘inhuman’, news, Jan. 31
I refer to your article regard-
ing the (non) bus stop at Har-
wood Manor. I lived there from
October 1995 to July 2009.
The flag bus provided an
excellent service for the resi-
dents; and if one needed to use
the ‘regular’ Harwood route,
then it was only a short dis-
tance to the bus shelter.
What I fail to understand
is the (non) thinking of DRT’s
decision to not only curtail the
flag bus service, but then move
the Harwood bus stop further
away from the manor.
Obviously the person, or
persons, responsible for the
decision do not use the buses,
or even walk very far, but use
their cars.
During the time I resided
at Harwood Manor, I was not
aware of any ‘problem’ for the
flag bus operators getting in, or
out, of the driveway. Perhaps
DRT should employ more com-
petent drivers, like the ones
that operated the flag bus when
I lived there.
Also, perhaps the DRT exec-
utive will appreciate the situa-
tion when they become older,
less sprightly, and heaven for-
bid, have to make use of walk-
ers to get around.
Hate to say it, but Ajax Tran-
sit was much more efficient and
user-friendly prior to it becom-
ing part of DRT. The staff then,
including the ‘office’, were like
friends to us riders.
It’s the same old story —
amalgamation is ‘efficient’,
maybe, but it becomes a ‘face-
less’ and ‘distant’ entity.
To end, I would suggest that
a few more “I” words — Inane;
Idiotic; Ignorant; be added to
‘Inhuman’.

Marijuana’s negative impacts rarely mentioned says reader
To the editor:
Heather McMillan, as the
executive director of the Durham
Workforce Authority, has been
convinced by the cannabis pro-
ducers that their being in Dur-
ham will be good for the region,
however, she fails to take into
account the negative impact it
will have on this province, as well
as on our country as a whole, if
the Liberals do pass their bill in
July.
One legal toke will lead to
another, and then, when he/
she feels the need for something
more euphoric, they will get
something stronger.
The promise of legalizing
marijuana won the Liberals the
last election, and if they pass the
bill, as I’m sure they will, they’ll
end up with a bigger majority in
the next election under a drug-
induced cloud.
What hypocrisy, especially
considering the fact that Ottawa
is now using taxpayer’s money to
run a TV advertising campaign
showing young people in a hor-
rific automobile accident that
ends with the tag line: “Don’t
drive high.”

Transit in Durham is important, improving
and innovating says transit general manager
It is never too early to introduce your baby
to the fun and engaging world of books.
There are many ways to make reading
together a positive experience, while nurtur-
ing early literacy and language skills.
Make Reading Fun:
Little ones learn while they are having fun.
An enjoyable book experience will motivate
them to continue seeking out books and
other literacy materials as they grow.
• Read with enthusiasm. Emphasize fun
words, make animal sounds, be silly and
expressive. You can even sing your story.
• Get comfortable. A chair, couch, bed, win-
dow seat, blanket fort or floor can all make a
cosy reading spot.
• Keep books handy. A basket, low shelf or
even your diaper bag, tuck books in loca-
tions that are accessible for you and your
baby to reach at any time throughout the
day.
• Follow your baby’s lead. Let your child
decide how much (or little) time you spend
reading. You don’t need to finish each book
or read every page.
• Yes, babies love to chew on books. When
babies are learning about books, they will
often leave behind a tattered corner or two.
• Make it personal. Talk about how the story
relates to your own family and experiences.
• Babies love repetition. Read your child’s
favourite books often. They love the familiar
and predictable routine of hearing the same
story over and over.
• Introduce new books. A great way to have
a limitless supply of new books is to visit
your local library. Babies can even get their
own library card.
• Read every day. Even for 10 minutes.
Choosing Books:
Choosing quality, age-appropriate books
to share will help you get the most joy and
learning while reading with your baby. Look
for some of the following features when
picking out books:
Simple Picture Books (zero to six months)
• Bold and colourful pictures.
• Books with just a few words on each page.
• Simple rhymes and repetition.
• Durable books such as board, bath or
cloth books.
• Books with photographs of other babies.
Interactive Books (six to 12 months)
• Touch and feel books.
• Lift the flap books.
• Counting books
• Non-fiction board books on topics such
as animals, transportation and family rou-
tines.
Homemade Books (all ages)
• Photo album books of your family.
• A sensory book using everyday items
such as sandpaper, felt and tinfoil.
• An alphabet book created with photos of
things in your community.
• An I Spy book made by cutting pictures
out of magazines.
Reading Routines:
When books are integrated into your daily
routine and stories woven into various parts
of the day, your child’s love of books will
grow. Consider reading stories during any of
the following times:
• At mealtime.
• While waiting at an appointment.
• At naptime.
• During a bath.
• In the car (keep a selection of audiobooks
handy for road trips).
• At bed time.
• Any other time your baby shows interest
in books.
Early literacy development is a process that
begins in the first few years of life. It is linked
to a child’s first experiences with books, sto-
ries and songs. So, by implementing these
tips on ways to get the most out of sharing
books with your baby, you are building a
strong foundation for early literacy develop-
ment as well as creating lifetime memories.
Happy reading.

March break
madness in Durham
Looking for creative ideas to entertain
your kids for March break?
If you’re feeling a little ambitious and OK
with a little planning, we have a full week
of activities to take your March break to
the next level.
Monday: Beach luau day.
Morning: Island hopping. Cut out islands
from construction paper or throw couch
cushions and pillows on the floor. Kids can
try to hop from “island to island” around
the room without touching the floor.
Lunch: Chicken kebabs.
Afternoon: Beach volleyball with bal-
loons.
Backup activity: Limbo.
Tuesday: Farm fun.
Morning: Horse shoes.
Lunch: Pigs in a blanket.
Afternoon: Square dancing.
Backup activity: Egg and spoon races.
Hard-boil the eggs first before you let the
kids loose on this one.
Wednesday: Super sleuths.
Morning: Following the footsteps. Cut
footsteps out of paper and on the back
write clues to find a special treat hidden in
the house.
Lunch: Mystery sandwiches cut into puz-
zle shapes.
Afternoon: Treasure hunt. Give the kids
paper and a pencil and have them hide an
item and draw a map to lead you to it.
Backup activity: Hide and seek.
Thursday: Silly races.
Morning: Big foot races. Attach tissue
boxes or shoe boxes onto the kids feet and
see how fast they can get across the room.
Lunch: Carb-load spaghetti.
Afternoon: Kangaroo hop race. Have kids
hop to the finish line trying to keep a bal-
loon pinched between their knees.
Backup activity: Book run. See if they
can make it from one side of the room to
the other while balancing a book on their
head.
Friday: Dinosaur dig.
Morning: Dinosaur hunt. Hide small plas-
tic dinosaurs around the house and have
the kids run around trying to find them.
Lunch: Dino burgers.
Afternoon: Hot lava. Set up a series of
chairs, blankets and cushions for the kids
to try and make it around the house with-
out touching the hot lava (a.k.a. the floor).
Backup activity: Drawing dinosaur skel-
etons.
There are lots of ways to have fun with the
kids over the March break.
If they are going stir crazy get outside. If
the weather is mild fly a kite, toss a ball, or
walk a nature trail. If it’s still wintery, try
tobogganing or build a snowman.
Don’t forget to check out the library pro-
grams and your municipality’s website for
free skate or swim times.

GOLDSTANDARDIN CABINET REFINISHING
Paint Squad can transform your
kitchen cabinets from ‘Outdated
to Outstanding!’ without the has-
sle of a complete renovation!“Why
renovate when you can refinish your
existing cabinets and save money?”, says
owner, Jeff Hamilton.
Paint Squad uses an HVLP spray
system - NOT a paint brush or roller, so
the finish is smooth and professional.
The coatings are non-toxic and can be
tinted to ANY colour you want! Don’t
even think about painting your own
cabinets to get the same quality finish.
Are you moving soon and don’t want to
spend a fortune to update your kitchen
before you list? “Real estate agents,
stagers and even contractors are some
of our best customers because they
know that Paint Squad can quickly up-
date kitchen cabinets when a home is
going on the market!”, continues Jeff.
“Spend a little money on refinishing now
and you will have a better return on y our
investmentwhenyousell.Plus,intoday’s
‘go-green’ society,
you’ll save the old doors
from going into he landfill!”
For many people, Paint Squad Cabinet
Refinishing is the right choice in today’s
tough economy. It offers tremendous
valueforthosewhowanttoupdatetheir
kitchens, but don’t want to
spend a fortune.“At Paint Squad,
we can give you a high-end look
without the high-end cost!”

WRIGHT, David Charles - On Sunday,
February 4 a remarkable human passed,
David "Charles" Wright, a young 55 year old,
loved by so many and so thankful for his life.
Born in Durban, South Africa, Charles landed
in Ontario, Canada in the 1980s. It's here
where he created his family. Charles was as
big as life itself and enjoyed it immensely.
That cannot be accomplished without
thanking the many who contributed to his
robust life. Topping the list is family and close
friends. The most important to him, his
daughters Christi and Niki, unconditionally
loved, so special and adored and nothing
more dearer to him. Charles is survived by
his mother Sarah Wright, brother Barney
Wright, sister-in-law Anne Wright, niece
Camille Wright, brother-in-law John Burinski,
sister-in-law Debbie Burinski and nephew
Connor Burinski, father and mother-in-law
Eddie and Francis Burinski and Geri Burinski.
A talented heating & cooling mechanic,
building his own business Improvair, Charles
created long lasting relationships with what
we would refer to as clients, but for him most
were more like his friends and some
considered his extended family. He enjoyed
spending his weekends up at the cottage,
always keeping busy with many projects and
met many lifelong friends. He was an
amazing man that touched everyone's lives
with laughter and positivity and created
meaningful memories everywhere he went.
Charles would say he had a full, wonderful
life and he was happy. Charles will be sadly
missed by his family and many close friends.
At his request no funeral services were held.
If desired, donations can be made to
Princess Margaret Hospital in honour of
"Charles". Arrangements entrusted to McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, Ajax,
905-428-8488. Online condolences may be
placed at www.mceachniefuneral.ca
