What is Culture Days?
Culture Days is a national campaign and event that is open to all
communities and all individuals who believe in making the public aware
of the importance of the arts and culture to their lives. Culture Days
is also a growing collaboration among Canadian provinces that aims to
increase participation and knowledge of arts and cultural activities by
all Canadians in their communities. The idea behind Culture Days is to
include amateur and professional activities across all geographic and
culturally diverse and Aboriginal communities.
When?
The last weekend of each September, individuals, groups and
municipalities are invited to provide free opportunities for the public
to experience and participate in their particular activity. These can
include open houses and demonstrations.
This year, Culture Days will take place in Ontario from September 24-26,
2010.
Why do we need Culture Days in Ontario?
Ontario’s arts and cultural communities have been looking for a
collective opportunity to work together to promote the value of arts and
culture to the people of this province.
Culture Days provides this opportunity! If we work together we can
highlight Ontario’s vibrant culture – and encourage residents to explore
new activities and celebrate the arts and culture in their communities.
Potential Culture Days Activities
Some groups might want to offer free ‘behind the scenes’ tours or give
demonstrations to school visits. Others might want to hold workshops or
lectures or invite the public to watch a rehearsal. Individual artists
can open up their studios or offer opportunities to learn about a
particular cultural heritage.
Existing participatory activities and events can also be included in the
provincial event during Culture Days as long as they are free.
Through Culture Days, we help people understand:
the contribution of arts and culture to our quality of life;
the culturally diverse and Aboriginal communities, artists, cultural
workers that make Ontario unique;
the many opportunities for participating in cultural activity in
communities throughout the province;
the economic impact of arts and culture in Ontario;
the personal rewards that come from discovering their own creativity.
Activity Registration
You should provide one or more free, interactive, engaging cultural
experiences that are open to the public during the last weekend of
September. Please register your event in the Culture Days database at
www.culturedays.ca/en
as of April 20th.
Who is involved in Culture Days?
Each province has established its own volunteer Provincial Task Force to
help guide and promote the provincial Culture Days program.
A national Culture Days Steering Committee is guiding the Culture Days
public awareness campaign (from June to September) across Canada.
This will include the development of Culture Days resources for activity
organizers across Canada, a Culture Days web site, an activity
registration database, as well as the coordination of national
sponsorships and collaborations.
What will Culture Days in Ontario look like?
Culture Days in Ontario is an opportunity to:
spark people’s interest in the vibrant culture in Ontario communities;
motivate Ontario residents to try a new artistic activity or visit a
cultural attraction;
encourage collaboration between arts and culture groups and other
community partners (Aboriginal, Métis, culturally diverse and heritage);
create a legacy of strong connections between all involved;
encourage people to explore their own creativity;
highlight Ontario’s culture to the rest of the country.
How do groups or individuals get involved?
Identify an activity, including activities you may already be
organizing, that you or your organization could promote to the public
during Culture Days;
Ensure the activity is free, open to the public and provides an
interactive or participatory experience;
Subscribe to the Culture Days newsletter for regular updates at

The Canadian Navy is 100 Years Old
This year our Canadian navy marks its 100th anniversary. To celebrate
this milestone a series of events and ceremonies are taking place across
the country. We here in Greater Sudbury have very strong ties with the
navy. Not only was much of the metal mined here in Sudbury used by the
navy during the Second World War, we have two ships named for us.
At the beginning of the war the Canadian navy quickly began a ship
building program. These ships were corvettes, assigned to convoy duty in
the Atlantic, protecting the ships, troops and supplies headed to
Europe. Launched in 1941 and 1944 respectively, HMCS Sudbury and HMCS
Copper Cliff served during the war.
One of the initiatives of Canadian naval command is to present each city
and town which had a ship named for it with a photo of the ship and her
record. This event is planned for the end of April and will be followed
by a ceremony of remembrance of the Battle of the Atlantic and a public
reception and exhibit. The exhibit will be featured at the Copper Cliff
Museum throughout the summer season.
The City has the ship’s bell from HMCS Sudbury and the Copper Cliff
Museum holds photographs and documents about the HMCS Copper Cliff and
the Comfort Committee which was established in Copper Cliff to support
the sailors on the HMCS copper Cliff. We are looking for naval veterans,
artifacts, photographs and memories for the public exhibit.
If you are interested in assisting us please contact Jim Fortin,
curator, City of Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums, at 692-4448, or by
e-mail at :

Hello Everyone
I was asked if I had any information regarding Rezoning Meetings and
this is
all there is to date. If you would visit the site it gives the new

Town
has their own By-law for this and the CGS is wanting to form only one
for
the entire area. The link is below and the listing of dates for meetings

Walden Lions Club Reports on Lions Club
International Foundation and what they are doing for Haiti Earthquake
Devastation
We
have all learned more about the extent of the devastation in Haiti. At
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), we have also learned more
about the situation on the ground from the Lions of Haiti. My heart goes
out to all the Lions in Haiti, who have been personally affected by this
disaster, losing at least two club members as well as many close
relatives. Yet they have put aside their own needs to help their
community. LCIF is working non-stop with Lions of that area to support
"Lions Hope for Haiti."
Lions Hope for
Haiti has
mobilized more than US$350,000, to date. Lions around the world are
responding generously and quickly to the LCIF designated fund for this
disaster. Donations are continuing to pour in from individuals, clubs
and districts, and I thank all of you who have already pledged your
support.
LCIF is working directly with Lions of Haiti as well as Lions in
neighboring countries to assess the immediate needs and also develop a
long-term reconstruction plan. Maureen and I will be traveling to the
Dominican Republic in the next few days to lead a team delivering
urgently needed supplies into Haiti.
Lions around
the world are also assisting:
·
Lions in
neighboring Caribbean countries are sending cargo containers of
requested supplies through connections with transportation companies.
·
Lions in Sweden
are sending large tents through the Swedish government to provide
housing for those who are now homeless as well as relief workers, as
they did for the China earthquake.
·
Lions from
District A-9, Ontario, Canada were in the area when the earthquake hit,
helping to establish a clean water system for an orphanage, and
responded by establishing a make-shift medical clinic, treating 600
people.
·
Lions are
contributing generously, some examples include: US$86,000 pledged from
Lions in Norway; US$20,000 from Lions in China; US$14,000 from District
105-I, England.
·
Like other previous
disasters, LCIF is not only committed to meeting the immediate needs of
the people, but will be working through the Lions in the region to
provide relief for years to come. After other relief organizations have
moved out of the area, Lions will still be on the ground, overseeing
long-term reconstruction projects. Similar to previous disasters, Lions
will be discussing the possibility of rebuilding homes and hospitals,
redeveloping the eye care delivery system, providing human resource
support, and assisting the disabled, including those disabled as a
result of this disaster.
We Have Lion members
from around the world willing to go to Haiti and donate their services.
Check it out at this website and see how and who will go to Haiti and
help.

Media Release,
Georgian Bay Coastal Route, A Tourism Innovator
Sudbury and The Blue Mountains: The Georgian Bay Destination Development
Partnership (GBDDP) was recognized as 1 of 3 finalists in the Tourism
Innovator of the Year Award recently presented at the Ontario Tourism
Summit. “While we did not win the award, I think it is remarkable that
our efforts were so well regarded by our peers,” said Donna MacLeod,
Past Chair of the GBDDP. “This project has brought together all the
tourism organizations around the Georgian Bay as well as support from
the municipal councils as we all work to make Georgian Bay an
outstanding Canadian tourism destination”, added MacLeod.
“The selection committee recognized the large geographic scope of the
project (2,000 miles of coastland all within Ontario) as well as the
cooperation amongst central and northern Ontario organizations,” said
Don Braden, Chair of the GBDDP. “This recognition will spur on the
efforts to make Georgian Bay foremost in tourist minds”, said Braden.
The GBDDP consists of 10 core DMO partners and 5 industry partners. The
purpose of the GBDDP is to (i) encourage our domestic market to travel
locally and (ii) position Georgian Bay as an icon destination with the
ability to attract the international market and become one of the
world's preferred destinations. To accomplish these goals the GBDDP has
built community linkages and partnerships, increased the level of
quality and customer service and developed unique products and stellar
experiential linkages along Georgian Bay. Eleven experiential packages
have been developed all encouraging tours around the Bay. These
experiences are: motorcycle tour; RV tour; beach tour; lighthouse and
marine heritage tour; scenic vistas; cruising; experience nature;
outdoor adventure, top ten things to do, winter experiences and golf
tour. The chair's position rotates north and south as do the meeting
locations.

1st Quarter is
over but the game isn’t!
http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf1360
Many times in my 17 season football career the team I played for was
losing after the first quarter, and ended up winning the game. Well
teammates that is where we are at right now. It is time to turn up the
game a little bit more. I know you are making your blocks, wrapping up
when you hit (voting daily) but some of your fellow players are not. Now
you can say... but they are bigger, they are stronger and faster, all
which may be true, but you have a choice. You can just give up or you
can dig in deeper and play harder. Even though many of my opponents were
bigger and stronger, there were none that had a bigger heart or will to
win. Many of my opponents found themselves on their back because I had
the relentless will to win.
Round one has ended and we were not in the top 20, but the counters will
be reset and we go against everyone except the top 20 to see if we can
get enough votes to go to the next round. (top 20 in each round-60 in
total then compete and the top 25 will be judged by Aviva-I want to be
one of those top 25)
I know we can get to the finals and that is what our present goal is to
achieve. I know our community has heart. I know we need this facility
for our children and grandchildren and I know we are going to get to the
finals. You need to ensure that you are finishing every hit, catching
every ball and running hard (voting daily), and you need to ensure that
you get everyone in the Game. (http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf1360
Some years that I played we had low numbers due to injuries etc. and
that meant some players had to play both ways (offense and defense).
That may be the situation we are in today. If you have 2 or more email
addresses you can register for each of those addresses and play “both
ways” for our project. Alone we are a single player in the game of life
but together we are a strong team that will achieve more than we can
individually for our community and children.

Subject: Rural Residential Consent Policy Public
Meeting - Revised Time
(This is a resend - please note revised meeting time.)
Mayor Rodriguez and Members of Council:
I wanted to advise and invite all members of Council to an upcoming
public meeting on October 15, 2009 in Council Chambers starting at 6:00
pm regarding the City's Rural Residential Consent Policies.
On May 5, 2009 the Planning Committee agreed to defer a Planning Staff
Report prepared in response to a proposal to lower the minimum lot area
requirement for rural severances in the new Official Plan from 5 acres
to 2 acres to a public meeting. This was ratified by Council on May 13,
2009.
Councillor Dutrisac has requested that the Public Meeting be held on
October 15, 2009. This meeting will begin at 6:00 pm in Council
Chambers. The intent of the meeting will be to hear the public's views
on the proposal to lower the minimum rural consent lot area requirement.
The format of the meeting will be very similar to the last Public
Meeting held for the new Topsoil By-law, which many of you attended. The
meeting will be facilitated by staff, who will give a short presentation
at the beginning of the meeting. Participants will be invited to the
podium and given an opportunity to share their views on the proposed
minimum lot area reduction. Councillor Dutrisac will also give a
presentation at the meeting.
Public notice of the meeting will be given through the local press and
the City's website.
We hope that you will be able to join us and learn more about this very
important subject. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
contact me or Jason Ferrigan.
Thanks

The following has
been issued to the media.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY REMINDER FOR
WET OR FLOODED BASEMENTS
Greater Sudbury Fire Services reminds residents that entering a wet or
flooded basement to unplug appliances or to clean up following a flood
can be very dangerous. Water and electricity don't mix.
Always use caution. If water is in contact with an electrical outlet or
appliance, assume the water is energized and stay out of the basement.
If your power panel is located in the basement, call an electrical
contractor or utility to disconnect your home's electric service.
If you detect an odour of gas following severe flooding, do not touch
any electrical fixtures, telephones or switches. Any spark may ignite
natural gas. Exit the home immediately, leaving doors open to ventilate,
and dial 9-1-1 from another location to alert Fire Services.
Water damaged furnaces and appliances must be inspected by a qualified
service technician.
Do not attempt to operate wet electrical equipment.

Dear Family and Friends
As you know, our long time chair of the Board, Marlene Marshall was
recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. She has just moved into the
Vale
Hospice, for her remaining time.
This weekend this hospice is organizing a 'Hike for Hospice" to raise
funds
and awareness of this awesome facility.
We at Walden Day Care are committed to join in this Hike with our
goal to have one person walk for every month that Marlene served on our
Executive - that being 137!! What better way to say we care and we
appreciate everything she has done for us?
Registration is at 12:00 pm and the hike starts at 1:00 pm at the
William
Bell Gazebo (behind the St. Joseph's Health Centre). For more
information
visit the National website at
www.hikeforhospice.com or call the daycare at
692-9719.
I have ordered red hats (Marlene's favorite color) with a special logo
on
it, for all the hikers to wear. Also, wearing a red shirt would also
help
make our statement.
Please bring your family and friends and join us on May 3 to show
Marlene
just how much we appreciate all the work she did in making Walden Day
Care
"a good place for our community, a better place for families and a great
place for children!!!"
Sincerely

Walden Lions Club
At the recent Walden-Can Community
Conference Planning Meeting in Lively On, Gwen Doyle – Communications
Coordinator, reported that most community groups are having difficulties
recruiting new members or volunteers. The Walden Lions club is in the
same situation and is looking for ways to promote our club and increase
our membership. We believe a
Walden Volunteer Family Fair would be a great opportunity to band
together and let the public know what we are all about and that we need
their help if we are to continue helping our community.
The Walden Volunteer Family Fair is an event for the public, an
opportunity for community groups to reach out to potential volunteers
and to educate the public about who we are and the services we provide
for the community.
We, the Walden Lions Club are hosting a Walden
Volunteer Family Fair May 23, 2009 at the Anderson
Farm Museum from 10 am - 4pm. 20 community
groups will have Displays in the Stable. There will be food, games,
penny table and prizes. Come and hear the Blue Saints play and watch the
stone carvers in action in the Barn.
This is a first time event and we hope for a successful Walden Volunteer
Family Fair.
Thank you
Sincerely

Football Officials' Clinic
The Joe Macdonald Youth Football League will be hosting an entry level
officials' clinic sometime in early May, and is seeking interested
candidates to participate.
The clinic will be open to anyone 17 years of age or older and once
qualified, officials can start working at the tyke level this season and
work their way up as they gain experience and knowledge in the game. No
previous experience as an official is necessary. Cost of the clinic is
expected to be as low as $20/registrant.
At least eight candidates are necessary in order to proceed with this
clinic, but more would help satisfy a critical need for qualified
officials in the CGS.
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming qualified, please
email the JMYFL at:
joemacfootball@hotmail.com
Further information will follow to any respondents. Thanks for your
consideration.

Good Morning,
I am pleased to announce the Young Community Leaders Project will be
holding their first Public Forum on March 14th, 2009 from 1-4pm at the
Older Adults Center at the YMCA on Durham. The forum is to get youth to
voice their opinions and thoughts about a variety of subjects. We are
asking if you know of any youth aged 15 to 30 who would be interested in
participating please have them contact me either by phone or email.
The forum will be broken down in two parts. During the first part
members of the community have offered to speak about issues affecting
youth in the Sudbury area. The second parts will be where the youth will
be divided into smaller groups and discuss one of the subjects at hand.
The youth will then have the opportunity to display their thoughts.
I will attach the poster for the event to this email. If you have any
questions please contact me and I will be more than happy to provide any
information.
Have a wonderful day!

Many Community Partners help Walden Food Bank!
The Walden Food Bank moved from 3 churches to the Tennis Court Building
on 6th Ave. in Lively in 1998.
The Schools in Walden all organize Food Drives to stock our shelves.
Other community partners help with Food Drives: Greater Sudbury Fire
Department, Greater Sudbury Volunteer Firefighters, Kampana Bells,
Walden Winter Carnival, Tree Lighting at the Anderson Farm Museum, and
the Lively IDA Pharmacy.
We also receive the proceeds from the sale of Christmas Trees at Pine
Hill Lumber.
The Walden Lions also gives us money to purchase supplies from Lively
Kwik Way. This consists of: eggs, margarine, milk and bread.
We also purchase ground beef from Battistelli’s Y.I.G. and various items
we may require.
Because we have a Membership with the Sudbury Food Bank, we can use our
Membership Card to purchase items at National Grocers and receive an
additional 5% discount.
The Churches of the community are also generous with food and money. We
have a weekly pick-up at St. Pius X and Battistelli’s Y.I.G.
And we have some very generous families, who donate throughout the year
and especially at Christmas time.
Each year in March the Walden Food Bank participates in a Canada-wide
Survey called ‘ Hungercount’. The results of this Survey are used to
make the Politicians and the public aware of the number of people using
the Food Banks.
Our General Meeting for Election of Officers and appointment of Board of
Directors and for presenting our financial statement for the year 2008,
will be held at the Food Bank (Lively Field House) on April 30th at 7:00
pm. Open to public.

Public Meeting…Need
Volunteers to Open Outdoor Rink!
There will be a Public Meeting on January 22 at 7pm, in the TM Davies
Community Centre Hall re: the need for Volunteers to open and help
maintain the Outdoor Rink in Lively .
“…As you may be aware the Lively Outdoor Rink has not yet opened this
year. The reason for this is lack of volunteers to help in running and
maintaining this site, as we cannot afford to have a full time person
operate these facilities. There is a part time employee assigned and
hired for this site, but without additional volunteer hours the rink is
not sustainable. As a result I have requested a public meeting to
address this need and to hopefully establish a volunteer base and
Executive. “
Councilor Jacques Barbeau
If you are interested in volunteering immediately or have any questions
please call Ted Durbacz, Recreation Coordinator at 671-2489 ext 2333

For Immediate Release Friday, January 2, 2009.

Corner
Clinic in the Samaritan Centre...Has Urgent Need for Winter Boots!
There is an urgent need for winter boots for people living in poverty in
Sudbury .
Resources have been exhausted, and Community Outreach has stated that
there is no more boots to be found... Demand is now exceeding supply.
Think: these people WALK everywhere and are outside most of the time.
Some even make money from shoveling snow, and in thin little running
shoes,
its practically impossible.
Most commonly needed Boots are: Size 9 and up for men, and size 7 and
up for women.
If you have any old boots or can contribute in any way, please feel free
to drop them off
at the Corner Clinic, 344 Elgin in the Samaritain Centre,
or feel free to call Melody at the Clinic at 673-3721, and she
can arrange pick up if necessary.

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

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

"Picture our Lakes"
Photo Contest to Launch Tomorrow
The City of Greater Sudbury has joined community partners to support
"Picture our Lakes", a community photography contest hosted by the
Northern Artist Gallery (Artists on Elgin). This contest, which will be
launched tomorrow, is open to all citizens and visitors to the
community, and will help to celebrate the many lakes within Greater
Sudbury. Students are especially encouraged to enter.
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
Gallery (168 Elgin Street) to view the entries and vote for their
favourite photos in the four categories – winter, spring, summer and
fall. Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges from the "citizens'
choice" finalists and announced on July 31, 2007.
"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
www.mysudbury.ca or www.artistsonelgin.ca .

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
Contact the farm of your choice to sign-up!
Dalew Farms: Contact Dave Lewington at 705-594-1823 or email
dalew@phonenet.ca
Thibeault Marsh Farm: Contact Sylvio Thibeault at 705-867-0482 or email
sylviothibeault@yahoo.ca
Please Note: Limited CSA memberships are available. To ensure your spot,
contact the farmers ASAP! A deposit is required to hold you membership
spot for the season. The sooner you sign up, the sooner the farmers can
plan for the growing season.

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.
9-1-1 will continue as the emergency services telephone number.

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.
