Walden Cross Country Fitness Club
(WCCFC)
Walden Cross Country Fitness Club has developed a trail system for
people to hike, walk and run during the summer months and cross country
ski in the winter time. The club runs programs for children and adults
to learn how to enjoy our beautiful winters.
In winter of 2007 the WCCFC offered two Adaptive Ski Days. Adaptive
Skiing is for people with physical disabilities who want something to do
during the winter. We had four participants who use wheelchairs come out
to try skiing with their families. The participants were supplied sit
skis and the rest of their families were offered skis to allow the
families to ski together. A sit ski is similar to a wheelchair, instead
of wheels the chair has a metal bar that attaches to a pair of cross
country skis. The parents were very excited to be able to enjoy a winter
activity with their children.
In the fall of 2008, WCCFC will be starting a program for people with
physical disabilities. The objective of fall training is to help
strengthen the proper muscles for participants prior to the snow
arriving. The program PWAD (Participants with a disability) meet once or
twice a week from the fall until the snow melts in March. The program
will offer an opportunity for families to cross country ski with the
person with a disability. This will be one of the few outdoor winter
sports that will include the whole family. The program will be designed
to meet the participants’ needs.
If you would like to volunteer or come out to participate please call

Bell Park Gazebo Concert Series Returns for Another Year
What could be more enchanting than an outdoor concert on a hilltop
overlooking beautiful Ramsey Lake? The Bell Park Gazebo Concert Series
returns this summer with performances by talented local artists every
Sunday evening.
"The City of Greater Sudbury is proud to host another year of the Bell
Park Gazebo Concert Series," said Mayor John Rodriguez. "We are
fortunate enough to have a perfect outdoor venue to host events these
events free of charge and to have dedicated volunteers who ensure the
concerts run smoothly and those attending enjoy the entertainment."
The series starts Sunday, June 1, with Groupe 17. This Ecole secondaire
Macdonald-Cartier high school rock group will be performing original
music from their CD recording. The concert starts at 7:00 p.m. in the
gazebo near the main beach of Bell Park. Audiences are asked to bring a
blanket or a lawn chair for seating. There is no charge for admission.
In the event of rain, the concert will be moved to the Parkside Centre
at the YMCA Centre for Life at 140 Durham Street.
"We have another exciting year planned for the Bell Park Gazebo Concert
Series," said Peter Schneider, who has volunteered his talents as
musical director for the series over ten years. "Audiences can look
forward to all types of music including 60s-70s classic pop, celtic
folk, jazz quartet pieces and music from a Franco-Ontarian group."
Schneider extended sincere thanks to the sponsors of the Bell Park 2008
Concert Series: Vale Inco, Greater Sudbury Utilities Inc., The Harry
Melnychuk Memorial Trust Fund, The Sudbury Arts Council and the City of
Greater Sudbury.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EFFECTIVE SPEAKING CHALLENGE 2008 SEEKING PARTICIPANTS
SUDBURY - The Valley East Lions Club is once again hosting the Annual
Lions’ Effective Speaking Contest on Saturday April 5th, 2008. The event
provides a competitive environment in which French and English students
from grades 6-12 compete for cash prizes and the opportunity to advance
to provincial levels. Students will be asked to deliver both prepared
and impromptu speeches in front of fellow competitors and judges. The
all-day event takes place at the Lion’s Den in Hanmer, Ontario, and
welcomes students from all over northern Ontario.
“The art of oral communication has taken a backseat to the lure of the
Internet. Email, text messaging and sites like Facebook or MySpace are
quickly becoming preferred methods of communication, and not just in
youth,” says Leanne Tucker, Chairperson for the event. “We need to
engage our children in hands-on, face-to-face communication exercises
like this one - we’re hoping local teachers and parents will agree and
get involved.”
The competition is open to all students in grades six to twelve. There
are three categories, Junior (grades 6-8), Intermediate (grades 9-10)
and Senior (grades 11-12). First place winners in each category will
advance to the Provincials in Toronto in May. Local winners traveling to
Toronto will have their expenses paid for by the Lions Club.
“Effective speaking is an important skill to develop and possess, at any
age. This competition will help students develop their communication
skills, increase their self-confidence levels, and provide them with an
opportunity to showcase their talents,” says Tucker. “It’s time to bring
oral communication back from behind the shadows of the Internet.”
For more information on how to get your school involved, or to register,
please contact Leanne Tucker at (705) 691-1567.

The Greater Sudbury Police will be launching a new crime prevention
initiative on February 11, 2008 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers, Tom Davies Square. The Crime Prevention Academy course is a
comprehensive crime prevention training that is available to all
citizens of Greater Sudbury who are interested in learning how to
protect their families and homes. The eight week course will cover such
topics as how to prevent becoming a victim of fraud, identity theft and
burglary. Students will also learn how to streetproof their children,
cyberproofing, protecting their homes through environmental design.
Other topics range from road rage, vehicle collisions, common
neighbourhood problems, safety at work to traveling alone.
The Crime Prevention Academy course is free and opened to citizens from
all walks of life .Crime Prevention Academy graduate students will find
the course valuable in assisting them to develop safe and secure habits
and lifestyles. Graduates will also be able to share their knowledge
with family, friends and colleagues or might want to use their knowledge
in organizing workshops and awareness sessions in their own
neighbourhoods and communities.
The Crime Prevention Academy program will be tied in to our Community
Watch program which is a web program designed to keep the citizens in
touch with what is going on in their neighbourhood. The program will be
similar to Neighbourhood Watch but with a 21st century operating method
via voice digital messaging and on-line web alerts. The Community Watch
program is set to launch in the fall.

Individuals are asked to submit photos that capture the beauty of
Greater Sudbury's lakes. The contest deadline is June 16, 2007 at noon.
Members of the public will be invited to visit the Northern Artist

"Our lakes are such a significant part of the Greater Sudbury
lifestyle," said Greater Sudbury Mayor John Rodriguez. "This photo
contest is a wonderful way to celebrate the beauty that surrounds us,
and to come together to demonstrate pride in our community. I encourage
everyone to participate in this contest."
Winning photos, as well as those that receive honourable mention, will
be featured in a "Picture our Lakes" 2008 calendar, which will be sold
throughout the city. The overall winner will be featured on the cover of
the calendar. Some of the winning photos, with credit given to the
photographer, will be shared with community stakeholders for the
purposes of promoting Greater Sudbury, and will be displayed in the
Living with Lakes Centre at Laurentian University.
"The talent of each artist in our community is a gift," said Muiriel
MacLeod, Chair of the Northern Artist Gallery. "What our volunteers and
sponsors at the Gallery give is a gift. The Northern Artist Gallery is
offering this photography project as a gift to the community."
Contest rules and entry forms are available at many locations, including
all City of Greater Sudbury Citizen Service Centres, the Northern Artist
Gallery and Northern Life. For further information, please visit

Ministry
of Health Says “No” to Shared-Care Pilot Site at Lively Medical Center!
On Feb.27/07, Dr. Koop informed the Walden-CAN, that the Lively Medical
Centre had just received notification from the MOH<C that their
Application re: Shared-Care Pilot Site Initiative was not approved.
There would be no ministry funding to hire a Nurse Practitioner to
enhance primary health care services in Walden
The Walden-CAN would like to thank everyone who took the time to write
emails &/or letters to the MOH<C in support of the LMC Application. We
tried our best to explain how ministry funding to hire a Nurse
Practitioner/s- as part of the team at LMC- would have had an immediate,
positive impact on primary health care services in Walden; for the
‘orphaned’ patients of retired, Dr. Carscadden and the many individuals
and families without any Family Physician
Unfortunately, only 6 Shared-Care Pilot Sites were to be approved for
funding – in all of Ontario and Lively Medical Centre was not chosen.
Perhaps when the 6 Pilot Sites prove to be successful, there will be
other opportunities for Fee-For-Service Family Physicians to apply for
MOH<C funding to hire Nurse Practitioners.

Community Shared Agriculture in
Sudbury:
Interested in adding more local foods to
your diet? Consider participating in Community Shared Agriculture for a
weekly supply of fresh veggies all summer!
What is Community Shared Agriculture?
Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) is a system of food distribution
where members buy a “share” of a farm’s produce (fruits and veggies) for
the entire growing season and receive a weekly basket of farm fresh
produce. Sudbury is fortunate to have two new farms offering CSA
memberships for 2007: Dalew Farms and Thibeault Marsh Farm!
How can I learn more about Community Shared
Agriculture?
Eat Local Sudbury has developed an educational brochure (attached) that
describes Community Shared Agriculture in detail. More information can
(soon) be found on our new website www.eatlocalsudbury.com, which is
currently under construction. In the mean time, you can visit our
mysudbury website at:
http://communities.mysudbury.ca/Sites/eatlocalsudbury.
How can I become a CSA member?
Check out our
Brochure or
website (temporarily <http://communities.mysudbury.ca/Sites/eatlocalsudbury>
but soon to be
www.eatlocalsudbury.com ),
Read the profiles and CSA information for both Dalew Farms and Thibeault
Marsh Farm,
Decide which farm you would like to commit to, and

City Launches 3-1-1 Telephone Number for City Services
The City of Greater Sudbury has launched a new telephone number for
information on City services and programs. 3-1-1 becomes effective
immediately and will provide a "one-stop-shop" for people looking for
any information on the City of Greater Sudbury.
"3-1-1 is all about citizen service – better service, faster service,
easier access to local government," noted Mayor John Rodriguez. "3-1-1
is an easy and efficient way to deliver hundreds of City services to
thousands of customers."
The 3-1-1 telephone number is part of the City of Greater Sudbury's
continuing efforts to enhance service and bring City Hall closer to the
people served. City staff will now be able to track service requests
through to completion, using an electronic tracking system. In addition,
staff will be able to better monitor requests and manage response times.
The City of Greater Sudbury has been using a "one-stop" approach since
amalgamation with a consolidated call centre and client services centre.
The adoption of the 3-1-1 service is a natural next step. The City also
anticipates that with the addition of the 3-1-1 telephone service, there
will be a reduction in non-emergency calls to 9-1-1.
3-1-1 has been successfully implemented in recent years in North
American cities such as Calgary, Windsor, Ottawa, Gatineau and Chicago.
3-1-1 is for City information only; including services and programs.

Walden Help Centre Future Assured??
By Terry Kett, Mental Health Advocate
Three years of persistence by a local group of
mental health advocates should be paying off and a big winner should be
our own Walden Help Centre. Unfortunately this may not be the case!
Many area people remember the unnecessary transfer
of local mental health services out of Sudbury to North Bay and the
North Eastern Mental Health Corporation (NMHC), by the Harris
government. Then, three years ago, NEMHC announced the upcoming closing
of area clinics such as Walden’s, due to “budget considerations’.
Quickly, the Mental Health Advocates were formed and the battle, led by
the indomitable Dr. Rayudu Koka, was on.
I well remember driving to Toronto in 2004
with Deputy Mayor Ron Dupuis, Dr. Koka and two other Psychiatrists to
meet with Minister Bartolucci. It was the middle of winter and the roads
were terrible! The Minister listened. Many phone calls and meetings
later, Health Minister George Smitherman called upon Mr. Ken White
President & CEO of Trillium Health Centre, to be the Facilitator for the
transfer of local and district mental health and addictions programs in
Sudbury and North Bay. In his report to the health minister, the key
recommendation was the transfer of Sudbury community mental health and
addiction programs from NEMHC to Sudbury Regional Hospital.
In his report, Mr. White
specifically mentions transferring the Walden Help Centre to local
control. He also recommended:
Annualized funding is to HRSRH to support the
$330,000 program deficit in Community Mental Health Programs
New annualized funding of $200,000 to NISA to stabilize this
consumer/survivor program
New annualized funding of $200,000 to allow for consolidated community
programs, enhancing service delivery
On Thursday January 4, 2007, Minister Bartolucci, speaking at our local
hospital stated: "We're
committed to helping Northeastern Ontarians get the mental health
supports and services they need in the communities where they live,"
said Bartolucci. "That's why the government agrees with Mr. White's
recommendation to transfer mental health services to the Sudbury
Regional Hospital from the Northeast Mental Health Centre."
The transfer plan is expected to be completed within the next few
months. The Sudbury Regional Hospital and the Northeast Mental Health
Centre are working closely to implement the recommendations contained
within the Ken White report.
"This transfer represents a great step in moving forward in our
government's plan to improve local governance of mental health and
addiction programs," said Bartolucci. "It is part of our overall
strategy to consolidate community programs and improve health services
at the local level."
So, we have regained local control over all aspects of community mental
health ….right? So why is there so much talk about Walden Help Centre
being closed in contravention of the White Report and the stated
intention of the provincial government?? We are not completely sure. One
definite reason is NEMHC, the North Eastern Mental Health Corporation.
The organization continues to operate in secrecy. The community was not
informed or consulted. It has quietly cut service after service at the
Walden Help Centre. We know all the other community clinics are staying
open, including the Valley clinic. Why pick on our clinic?
We need to be ready to fight this and any other retrograde move. Too
many officials forget that the Walden Clinic is a community clinic and
that we wouldn’t just stand there while they make administrative
decisions that hurt our citizens.
What we do know is that Walden Clinic along with all the other community
clinics will be under local control, hopefully after March 31. I have
spoken to Maureen McLelland, Mental Health Services Manager, for the
Sudbury Regional Hospital. She stated that” services in Walden will not
disappear and that they are looking for a solution that would integrate
mental health counseling with primary care. Outreach mental health
services that are currently provided in Walden will continue, (eg.
Crisis outreach, Seniors outreach, ACTT etc) and counseling services
currently located on 10th avenue will be reviewed to determine best fit
and location in your community. “
This response is not what anywhere near what the
community or the White report foresaw. What is missing from present
NEMHC/Regional Hospital thinking is that in Walden, 18 years ago, the
community saw the need for a mental health clinic that would respond to
various needs of our citizens when someone walked through the door-no
wait, be seen immediately-intake, assessment and treatment in Walden,
not at a hospital or an office tower in downtown Sudbury. This is the
community model we established and intend to fight for.
She is willing to come to a CAN meeting to explain the future role of
the Walden Help Centre as part of their vision of Community Mental
Health Care.
I know one thing for certain. The people of Walden will be watching.
