But it wasn't an easy decision for the club. "No one's happy about doing that, the majority. In fact, we're now concerned about Christmas PICKERING - Following ad- vice from the City of Pickering's solicitor, the South Pickering Se- niors' Club has stopped reciting trees and Christmas cards and Easter," said the club's president, Ed Fry. It stemmed from complaints from former Toronto resident Jennifer Ruth Young, a retired lawyer who moved to Pickering three years ago and joined the se- niors' club located on Liverpool Road in Pickering. She quickly learned the Lord's Prayer was said before meetings and Young, a Jewish woman, shared her dis- taste with the practice. When she brought it up at a meeting, she said she felt bullied and shot down. "People get angry with me even if I just ask simple questions like this. It's very disconcerting to Jennifer Young is asking the South Pickering Seniors Centre to stop saying the Lord's Prayer.

Concrete Contrac- tors Ltd. The project's total gross cost of $344,968 (HST included), including the tender amount and other associated costs, and the total net project cost of $310,654 (net of HST re- bate) was also approved at the Sept. 11 meeting. The City of Pickering calls for an annual service contract for asphalt and concrete repairs at vari- ous locations throughout the city. Pickering chief admin- istrative officer Tony Pre- vedel said this will cover work needed in about 150 locations throughout Pickering.

All members of council spoke about the productive term of council, at the Sept. 17 meeting, the final one be- fore the municipal election in October, and Mayor Dave Ryan noted a number of achievements for the City of Pickering in the past four years. He listed Durham Live! as a significant achieve- ment. In April it was an- nounced that Pickering will get a casino at the site. He applauded Picker- ing's Innovation Corridor, which has attracted several new businesses, as well as Pickering investing in its downtown intensification. He noted the recent an- nouncement that Lake- ridge Health will be setting up a new medical centre in Pickering. He said the greatest achievement of all was council officially support- ing the building of an air- port in Pickering, granted a business case supports it. Pickering council had long opposed a Pickering airport until a new vote in 2017. COUNCIL PICKERING -- Mayor Dave Ryan, shown here after winning re-election in 2010.

Fry agreed most other members were unim- pressed and said the club gave Young alternate op- tions. "We offered that she could come in later to the meetings and she didn't have to stand or anything," he said. But for Young, it was more than the simple act of the prayer being recited. "Really it's not about the Lord's Prayer ... it's about not operating as a club of any religious persuasion at all," she said. Fry said the members voted at the time on wheth- er the Lord's Prayer should continue to be read, and 99 per cent agreed to keep the tradition going. He said the matter quieted down a bit until earlier this year. But the matter was still bothering Young. "This is Canada," she said. "I'm so proud to live here and I'm sad to be fight- ing against discrimination as a Jewish person here in Pickering in the 20th centu- ry." Fry explained the club has existed since 1974, and the prayer has always been recited. It was founded by Scottish, British and Irish residents, which also repre- sents the backgrounds of many in the club today. "We have other Jewish members that don't make any issue of it," he said. Young's husband, as well as two other non-Jew- ish members who were vo- cal to Fry about their agree- ment with Young, have been standing by Young. Young said she's been fighting for her own human rights since she was a child; she was bullied as a child in public school in Edmonton. "For me to have to fight the same fight this many years later, I'm dismayed," she said. Fry fears this change may set a new precedent for the future of Christian cele- brations at the club, such as Christmas and Easter. He says a prayer before Christ- mas dinner. "It's a major switch. I'm more concerned about what's going to happen down the road. We say grace at our Christmas din- ner. We worry, will we be able to say grace?" He explained, "I say 'God bless their soul'" after someone dies. "It's all these little things that will come," he said. Young had contacted the City of Pickering for assis- tance in the matter. City so- licitor Paul Bigioni said, "The club is a private entity, it's a community entity. It's not part of city administra- tion," he said. But he explained the club makes use of some city facilities for its events and said the club has to comply with all laws which in- cludes the Ontario Human Rights Code. "In the broadest sense, yes, we do expect the club to comply with the code," he said. Fry too had consulted the city for guidance. "It's not a matter of any individual's preferences. Somebody asked me what's the law, and I told them," Bi- gioni said. "My understand- ing is that if someone is feel- ing impacted in a bad way, that would potentially be a problem under the code." In 1985, a group of par- ents had the Lord's Prayer removed from Ontario pub- lic schools after filing a law- suit under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Free- doms. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that reciting the Lord's Prayer at town council meetings in Saguenay, Que., was "un- constitutional" and that sponsorship of one reli- gious tradition by the state breaches its duty of neu- trality and amounts to dis- crimination against all oth- er traditions. A handful of Canadian municipalities backed out immediately. Oshawa May- or John Henry was ready to oppose the decision, but the City of Oshawa also ended the recitation following le- gal advice. The City of Pickering has not recited the Lord's Prayer in at least as long as Bigioni has been on staff. "What we do here is the mayor reads off a non-de- nomination invocation," Bi- gioni said. Now, before the meet- ings at the South Pickering Seniors' Club begin, Fry simply asks members to take some time for personal reflection. NEWS Continued from page 1 PICKERING SENIORS’ CLUB DROPS PRAYER THE ISSUE: SENIORS' CLUB STOPS SAYING LORD'S PRAYER LOCAL IMPACT: CLUB MEMBERS WORRIED ABOUT FUTURE RELIGIOUS EVENTS SUCH AS EASTER AND CHRISTMAS STORY BEHIND THE STORY After receiving a call from a lawyer about Pickering seniors' club saying Lord's Prayer reporter Kristen Calis looked into the issue. “For me to have to fight the same fight this many years later, I'm dismayed.” - Jennifer Ruth Young PICKERING - It looks like drivers with parking tickets in December will once again be able to pay their fines with toys or food for charity. Pickering's executive committee passed a staff re- port on Sept. 11 recommend- ing tickets issued between Dec. 1 and Dec. 21 be eligible for the Toys for Tickets/ Food for Fines program. The report will seek council approval on Sept. 17. The City of Pickering's annual program accepts toys or groceries in lieu of payment for parking tick- ets. Toy or food donations must be dropped off to city hall, and a receipt must be presented to confirm that the value of the donation equals or exceeds the fine. Tickets for parking in an ac- cessible parking space are not eligible for the program. This program is meant to promote community en- gagement and support fam- ilies in need. The lost revenue associ- ated with the Toys for Tick- ets/Food for Fines program in 2017 was $1,151. A similar amount of lost revenue is anticipated for 2018. Pickering's first Toys for Tickets/Food for Fines pro- gram was offered in 2009. Participation from the community is always gener- ous and enthusiastic, says the staff report. Last year's program brought in ap- proximately $1,500 in dona- tions. Donations go to the Dur- ham Regional Police Ser- vice Food and Toy Drive and the Pickering Fire Services Food and Toy Drive.

COMMUNITY PICKERING TO CELEBRATE CULTURE DAYS ON SEPT. 29 PICKERING - Pickering Fire Services will soon go door-to-door once again for the Get Real Pickering! fire education campaign. The five-week campaign will begin on Sept. 21, and fo- cus on educating residents about fire safety and fire-re- lated issues in the communi- ty. Select Pickering house- holds will receive an infor- mation card in the mail, fol- lowed by a visit from Picker- ing firefighters who will be available to discuss the real- ity of fires in the community, and answer fire-related questions. More than 6,000 residences are visited each year as part of this cam- paign. "It is our fourth year run- ning this campaign, and it proves to be a success each year as we are able to educate Pickering residents on fire safety issues within our com- munity," said fire Chief John Hagg. "It is a great opportu- nity for residents to meet our firefighters, and have all of their questions answered." Chief Hagg hopes that through education, aware- ness, and teamwork, fire-re- lated fatalities, injuries, and property damage can be re- duced throughout the city.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY I have been working on a television series lately where one of my cast mates is a lovely little kid named Cale. Cale happens to have a physical disability. His words, by the way, not mine as, as far as I can see, Cale is remarkably 'able'. This child is one of the most loving, intelligent, emotionally available people I have ever met. Five seconds with him and you fall completely in love. Just recently, at the end of a particularly long and exhausting day of filming, we were standing side by side, setting a shot up for the camera. I was tired and I know Cale was exhausted, when suddenly, completely un- bidden, I felt his little hand taking mine and squeezing. I looked down and there he was, beam- ing his love up at me. I felt like a million bucks. This kid is a blessing on two feet. What kills me is that some people miss that. Cale's mom has told me about the amount of bully- ing and abuse her son has already taken in his short life. It's astonishing...and sickening. The sad thing is that children, with infinitesi- mally rare exceptions, are not born bullies. Kids come into this world as plugged into love and kindness as they will ever be. Bullying and hate are things they have to learn. Someone, usually a parent or caregiver, is, unfortu- nately, modelling it for them. And no, I don't have any empirical data at my fingertips, but I was a kid once and I raised two of my own and nine times out of 10 if you show me a bully, I'll show you a cou- ple of pieces of work called 'Mom' and 'Dad'. I've seen it over and over again. I don't have any real answers for this cycle of abuse except to send out a heartfelt prayer that we are, as a race, somehow, someway, becoming more tolerant, more accepting, more kind. People like Cale are a huge part of that change. They really are walking, talking blessings. They are smiling, radi- ant reminders that re- gardless of the condition of the meat suit we hap- pen to inhabit, we are all the same inside. We are all worthy and beautiful and deserving of nothing less than com- plete and total love. Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column EVERY ONE OF US IS DESERVING OF LOVE COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE SAYS HIS FRIEND CALE IS A REMARKABLE HUMAN BEING NEIL CRONE Column NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE SHOULD NOT BE USED FRIVOLOUSLY To the editor: Premier Doug Ford did not get his way with rela- tion to the city council of Toronto, so he enacts the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There have been several former premiers who have warned Ford that it is not something they would do for such a frivolous reason. Does he not realize that by doing this he will never get in at the next election? We saw on the news the protesters of Bill 31 in the hundreds and most of those people were not there because city council is go- ing to go down to 25 from 47! What they appear to be protesting is the way it was done. It came as a surprise to most people because it oc- curred in the middle of an election. Thank goodness it did not happen to us! Ford has further stated he will continue to use the notwithstanding clause any time he sees fit! The only person who could stop him has said he would not. And where are all of these people who want him to invoke that clause? All I saw on the news were several hundred peo- ple lined up outside of the legislature protesting. I did not see a single Conservative outside counter-protesting. All we were privy to was the Conservatives in the legislature. RON HORNER, OSHAWA SEX-ED LETTER WELL RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN To the editor: Re: 'The Liberal sex-ed curriculum hazardous for our kids', letters, Aug. 29 I was very impressed with the letter written on Aug. 29 regarding the Lib- eral sex-ed curriculum. It was very obvious the Joe Prochazka did his re- search in order to ade- quately present his posi- tion on this subject. I want to say that I agree with what he wrote, and am glad that he took the time to present a view- point that needs to be stat- ed. As a parent, I certainly did not agree with many of the things in this curricu- lum, as did many other par- ents when it was being de- bated, and yet the govern- ment of the day still pushed it through with their ma- jority. Thanks Prochazka for this well written and time- ly letter. KEVIN THOMPSON, OSHAWA There have been several former premiers who have warned Ford that it is not something they would do for such a frivolous reason. 7 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 1 9 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Signature SponsorSignature Sponsor Sponsorship and Advertising opportunities available For more info and tickets please contact: Margaret Cox: mg.cox@outlook.com 905.434.0833 The Lake House 600 Liverpool Rd.

GetyourfreespecialreportNOW DURHAM - Four of the five candidates for regional chair had their first job in- terview Eednesday. Abut 200 people attended the debate, held at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, and the fo- cus was on business-related matters. The event was hosted by the chambers of commerce and boards of trade in Durham Region. Moderator Joan Wide- man noted in the opening, "The position of regional chairman is critical." Candidates attending were Tom Dingwall, John Henry, John Mutton and Muhammad Ahsin Sahi. The fifth candidate, Peter Neal, was attending the first game of the season for the Humboldt Broncos fol- lowing a horrific accident that left 16 dead and 13 in- jured. Topics included leader- ship style, attracting and re- taining businesses, extend- ing broadband service to northern communities and where they stand on build- ing the Pickering airport. Candidate Tom Ding- wall said, "I'm not a politi- cian and that's all right. There will be a lot of politi- cians at the region." A police officer with the Durham Regional Police Service, Dingwall said, "I'm fighting for what I believe in," adding that includes protecting the environ- ment, spending tax dollars wisely and public safety. John Henry, the current Oshawa mayor, said, "I will continue to work to remove the tolls on (highways) 412 and 418. It's better to be at home at the end of the day enjoying dinner with your family rather than staring at a bumper." He added, "If you want to see my resume, just drive around Oshawa," pointing to new development and having paid down millions in debt. John Mutton, a former Clarington mayor, said, "Durham hasn't even come close to reaching its full po- tential." Creating jobs and "mak- ing the economy better" are planks in his platform, he stated. "We need to cut taxes and create an environment where people can flourish," Mutton said. Mutton said, "I cut taxes once as the finance chair in Clarington and I'll do it again for Durham. My plat- form focuses on lower tax- es, economic growth and transit support. It will make life better for resi- dents." He also pledged to freeze the salaries and expenses for the regional chairman and councillors. Muhammad Ahsin Sahi said, "The fundamental rea- son I'm standing here is a profound desire to make a better Durham." Durham has "exception- ally higher taxes" and that's hurting business and resi- dents, he said. "I want Durham to be- come the most desired place to live and work. Elect me as chair and I will give you a new Durham," Sahi said. "Remember, you can't have a new Durham if you have old politics." Sahi said, "We have be- come a magnet for some kind of social degradation." Enough money isn't in- vested in education, he said. "The universities we have now train them for low-income jobs. The No. 1 issue is obviously much bet- ter education for our kids," Sahi said. When asked what he would do to retain and at- tract businesses to Dur- ham, Henry said, "Listen- ing to the business voices is key. Look at Oshawa." In the last four years, the City has seen $2 billion in economic growth, he add- ed. Mutton said businesses suffer from too much red tape and high taxes. "Durham has a lot of land, but it's unserviced. The Region has $1.5 billion sitting in reserves. That can be used on services," he said. Sahi said, "We've been at- tracting businesses nobody else wants in their back- yard," pointing to the nucle- ar stations and the inciner- ator. "It's a failure in my eyes," he said. Dingwall said he'd work with the local chambers of commerce and boards of trade. All four support an air- port in Pickering. "I think we have enough agriculture here. I want an international airport so we can be connected" to the world, Sahi said. "My em- phasis will be the airport. It will be my pet project." "The economic spin offs would be one of the great things for Durham Region," Dingwall noted. Henry said he supports the position taken by Pick- ering council, which sup- ports an airport. Mutton stated, "We don't really have an internation- al airport here. Oshawa isn't an international air- port." He also supports a Picker- ing airport, but added, "We need the infrastructure and money in place for it."

"Energy efficiency is crucial in giving your company a competitive edge, and it's easier than ever to lower your elec- tricity bill now," Melanie Walls, conservation spe- cialist, Veridian Connec- tions, said in a news re- lease. From the smallest of in- dependent retail stores to the largest industrial com- plexes, the Commercial/ Industrial Retrofit Pro- gram can cover renova- tions such as updating lighting and controls, HVAC systems, ventila- tion, heat pumps and more. A Veridian expert will come for a site visit to in- spect existing equipment and help owners complete the application form. Busi- ness owners can receive up to 50 per cent of the pro- ject costs for retrofits that provide sustainable, mea- surable and verifiable re- ductions in peak electric- ity demand. There is no limit to the number of pro- jects a business chooses to undertake in the program. "Upgrading your equip- ment can help you lower maintenance costs, in- crease production and re- duce your environmental impact," added Walls. Veridian Connections, serving more than 121,000 residential and business customers, is the fifth- largest municipally owned electric utility in Ontario. The City of Pick- ering, the Town of Ajax, the Municipality of Cla- rington and the City of Belleville jointly own Ve- ridian Corp., the parent company of Veridian Con- nections. The Veridian program is offered in partnership with Independent Elec- tricity System Operator (IESO) and Save on Ener- g y, and has not been af- fected by the recent Onta- rio government cuts to the GreenON program.

The library, gym and child care rooms are not fin- ished at Northern Dancer P.S. in Oshawa, and the gym isn't complete at Viola Des- mond P.S. in Ajax. School board officials say everything should be wrapped up in the next week or two - but some par- ents are questioning why the delay at all. "They've known for a long time that the school was opening this Septem- ber, it doesn't make sense that this work isn't done," says Oshawa parent Chris- tine McLellan. "The school isn't as near- ly complete as it should be," says another Northern Dancer parent who emailed Metroland Durham Region Media Group. "Over 600 stu- dents are in the middle of the construction zone." In Ajax, Preeti Ahuja, who brings her grandchil- dren to and from school each day, says it is frustrat- ing after a long wait for a new school to open in the neighbourhood. "I think the whole school should be ready the first day. It's disappointing for the children," she says. Christine Nancekivell, chief facilities officer for the DDSB, says classrooms, washrooms and stairwells are fully finished and that work being done in areas such as the gym, library and child care areas, is minor. "It's just the finishing touches," she explains - things like painting, install- ing shelving and finishing floors. Nancekivell says it's "quite common" for last- minute touches to be fin- ished after a school opens, and that many factors can impact the timeline of new school construction. A new elementary school takes 12 to 14 months to build. Bad weather in the early construction stages, product shortages and per- mit delays, can all set the schedule back. Any work currently be- ing done at the two new DDSB schools is in a "con- trolled area" with no access for staff and students - no different than when an addi- tion is built at a school, while classes are in prog- ress, Nancekivell says. The municipal building departments and fire de- partments have both signed off on occupancy permits. An official groundbreak- ing for the new schools took place in June 2017, with con- struction starting shortly after. Northern Dancer P.S. is located on Bridle Road in north Oshawa. The 62,280 square foot building in- cludes 24 classrooms and a four-room child care centre. Viola Desmond P.S. on Formosa Drive in Ajax mea- sures 75,500 square feet, and has 30 classrooms and a four-room child care centre.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland AJAX - A pedestrian was seriously hurt following a two-car accident on Taunton Road in Ajax Thursday. The 31-year-old woman was standing at a bus stop on the north side of Taunton near Middlecote Drive when two vehicles collided. The accident happened just after 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 13. Durham Regional Police re- port a Toyota Camry collided with a green BMW and then the Camry left the roadway and hit the woman before roll- ing into a ditch and ended up on its roof. The woman was taken to a local hospital before being airlifted to a Toronto-ar- ea hospital. She's presently listed in serious condition. The driver of the Toyota was taken to hospital with mi- nor injuries. The driver of the BMW wasn't hurt. Police, paramedic services and Ajax Fire and Emergency Services were at the scene. Members of the Durham police Collision Investigation Unit investigated and the road was closed for several hours. As of 3:45 p.m., the road was still closed. Anyone with information about this incident or wit- nessed this collision is asked to call Detective Constable Brett Rayne of the Traffic Ser- vices Branch at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5256. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Re- gional Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca.

Mohinder Singh Sai- ni's driving on the night of Oct. 2, 2015, when his fully loaded transport truck plowed into traffic stopped for lane closures, represented a marked de- parture from the conduct one would expect from a prudent driver, Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy said. The judge concluded Saini's inattention to road conditions led to the hor- rific crash, which in- volved 20 vehicles. "This was not a case of momentary or mere inat- tention," the judge said during the course of a three-hour recitation of his reasons for judgment Friday, Sept. 14, in Osha- wa. "This is a case of pro- longed inattention by a professional driver." Saini, 75, of Lasalle, was at the wheel of a transport truck loaded with scrap metal that crashed into traffic slow- ing for construction in the westbound lanes of the highway between Brock and Salem roads; court heard evidence his truck was travelling at more than 100 km/h just before it slammed into a Ford Fiesta that had slowed to a crawl in the middle lane, then swerved into the passing lane and accelerated for- ward, crashing into more vehicles. Pickering couple Carl and Jacqueline Laws, aged 67 and 63 respective- ly, and Jesus Alberto Du- ran-Florez, 12, and his 10- year-old brother Cuauh- temoc Duran-Florez, of Mexico, died. Several oth- ers were injured. At the beginning of his trial in June, Saini plead- ed not guilty to four counts of dangerous driv- ing causing death and nine counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. On Friday Shaugh- nessy found him guilty on all counts. The judge found Saini, 75, was not honest about how the crash occurred. Saini insisted that a transport truck in front of him suddenly slammed on its brakes, causing an SUV to crash into the back of that truck; he said he was unable to avoid a collision with the SUV and the other transport. But collision recon- struction and eyewitness evidence refuted Saini's version of events, Shaughnessy concluded. "I find (Saini) deliber- ately fabricated his ac- count," the judge said Fri- day. "He deliberately lied to cast blame on another driver." During the trial Saini's defence lawyer Carlos Rippell acknowledged the discrepancies between his client's version of the crash and evidence that countered it. Rippell put forth a theory, backed up by opinions from expert witnesses, that underly- ing medical conditions in- cluding kidney failure and sleep apnea had left the driver fatigued and prone to lapses in atten- tion and consciousness of which he was not aware. An expert testified during the trial that Saini likely succumbed to an episode of "microsleep" seconds before the crash that rendered him unable to react to the traffic slowdown in front of him. But other evidence, in- cluding the fact Saini suc- cessfully navigated a curve just before the crash site, made that sce- nario unlikely, Shaugh- nessy said Friday. "It is speculative to conclude a microsleep oc- curred," the judge said. A sentencing hearing will be held later this fall. The maximum prison sentence for dangerous driving causing death is 14 years, according to the Criminal Code. NEWS TRUCKER FOUND GUILTY IN CRASH THAT KILLED FOUR ON 401 IN WHITBY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com OSHAWA -- Mohinder Singh Saini left the Oshawa courthouse after being released on bail on November 9.

DURHAM - After grad- uating from university, most people are gearing up for a job hunt. But Chase Pelletier al- ready has something "pretty surreal" lined up. He graduated from the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology (UOIT) this summer, and will soon be heading to England to spend a year working with world ex- perts in automotive and Formula One racing. Pelletier, 22, recently beat out thousands of ap- plicants to become the Ca- nadian winner of the 2018 Infiniti Engineering Acad- emy. The competition is a global search for the best young engineers. This year, seven win- ners from across the world will have the chance to learn from veteran engi- neers while doing a 12- month work placement -six months at Infiniti's European Technical Cen- tre in Cranfield and six months at the Renault For- mula One team's Techni- cal Centre in Enstone. "I've always had a pas- sion for cars and motor- sports specifically," says Pelletier, who graduated from UOIT with an auto- motive engineering de- gree. "My early dream was to be a racing driver, but at same time, I wanted to have solid plan, if that didn't work out." After landing a spot as one of the top 10 finalists in Canada, Pelletier compet- ed in a track-side competi- tion at the Circuit Gilles- Villeneuve in Montreal ahead of the 2018 Canadian Formula One Grand Prix. "It was a really fun pro- cess, definitely stressful at the same time," he says. "The top 10 in Montreal were very, very strong." Competitors completed an engineering exam and one-on-one interviews with judges, as well as a dragster car build and challenges designed by ex- perts from Harvard Uni- versity and Renault Sport Formula One Team. A second UOIT automo- tive engineering student, Allison Yuen, was also among the pool of final- ists. "The best part of the competition to me was working in teams of five, to modify a dragster kart and make it go faster," says Yu- en. UOIT was the only uni- versity in Canada to have two students in the top 10. Pelletier says the chance to move the Eng- land for a year and get real work experience in his field is life-changing - he encourages other young engineers to apply to the competition. "If motorsport is your passion, it's the best op- portunity to get some hands-on experience right out of school." NEWS UOIT GRAD WINS DREAM JOBPLACEMENT WORKING ONFORMULA ONE RACE CARS UOIT student Chase Pelletier was recently selected as the Canadian winner of the 2018 INFINITI Engineering Academy.

In August 1987, at age 20, he was involved in a serious motor bike collision that landed him in a coma for two weeks and paralyzed for two months after he awoke. "I couldn't walk, couldn't talk, couldn't read or write," he recalls. "I had a severe head injury, which (led to) depression, pho- bias, fears and poor self- worth." Giroux, who's now in his 50s, says he struggled with physical and mental health issues - including thoughts of suicide - for more than a decade following the acci- dent until the mid-2000s when he decided to try flo- tation therapy. Afterwards, he remembers walking around in a daze, stunned to be out of what he de- scribes as the "shackles" of pain. "My first thought was 'I think I'm dead' because for the first time since 1987, I was pain-free. It's a whole new world being pain-free ... it's like 'I can have a life.'" In 2011, he opened the first standalone REST (Re- stricted Environmental Stimulus Therapy) Centre in Sudbury, and recently relocated it to Whitby after moving to the area this past spring. The centre offers clients a zero-gravity environment that allows the mind, body and soul to rest, according to the company's website. Flotation is created by a special solution of salinat- ed water that uses 1,200 pounds of Epsom salt. "It's a huge concept in the (United Kingdom) ... it's very big in the (United) States; this was the first centre in Ontario," says Gi- roux, adding that others have opened since then, in- cluding in Toronto, Barrie and Kingston. "They're popping up left and right. The problem is, the staff don't understand what tools they have in the flotation tanks; they can't explain to the floater what's going to happen to them and how to best utilize the flotation pod to be benefi- cial." The therapy has been shown to positively affect individuals who suffer from various conditions, including insomnia, fibro- myalgia, back pain, sports injuries, stress and anxiety. As someone who's experi- enced the debilitating ef- fects of a brain injury, Gi- roux says he can offer first- time users a unique per- spective into the process and how it can improve their quality of life. "Gravity is our biggest stressor. Our bodies com- press as we age and as they compress, they impede blood flow actually in the whole body - that's how ill- ness gets created," he ex- plains. "As you float, your body decompresses naturally. Because the brain has no stimuli to focus on, it puts the brain from the Beta or Alpha state down to Delta and produces endorphins to fight pain ... and every time you float, the effects are cumulative." A typical session lasts 60 minutes and can be cus- tomized with lighting and music. The Whitby centre is located at 1916 Dundas St. E. and offers private suites with the flotation pod, a shower, shampoo/condi- tioner, ear plugs and tow- els. The cost is $65 for an hour, which may be cov- ered by benefit plans. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.

Centre, Ontario's first floatation therapy facility in Sudbury in 2011, and relocated the business to Whitby this past spring. He suffered a motorcycle accident when he was 20 years old and says the therapy has dramatically improved his health and well being.

These proceeds will be used to upgrade the Hospital’s entire holter monitoring system. Holter monitors are a non- invasive diagnostic tool used most commonly to detect cardiac arrhythmias (i.e. when the heart beats too slow, too fast or erratically). Atrial fibrillation is the most serious type of arrhythmia, and if undetected it can lead to heart failure because the heart is not able to circulate enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It is estimated that up to 15% of all strokes are caused by atrial fibrillation, and the risk increases with age so that after the age of 60, it is the cause of two- thirdsofallstrokes.
