The Pan Am torch relay came to Orléans on July 2. The 13 torchbearers each ran, walked, wheeled – and in

one case danced – their way through 200-metre legs.The torch left the Shenkman Arts Centre at 9:30 a.m.

and arrived on Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard just north of the roundabout 30 minutes later.

There was a community celebration held prior to the torch relay with a pancake breakfast, live entertainment and speeches from local politicians before the relay kicked off.

As the Pan Am Games come to Ontario, it’s a chance for Adam Simac to come home as well.

Simac, who grew up in Or-léans, was named to Canada’s Pan Am team for volleyball. He’ll play with the team just following a tournament in Argentina: the international volleyball federation’s World League.

It’s not a surprise Simac will play the Pan Ams, as the 31-year-old player has frequently played with Canada’s national team since 2008.

He spends most of his time abroad, playing with the Asul Lyon Volley club in France, so the Queen’s University gradu-ate doesn’t often play at so close to home.

Simac also took part in the torch relay, and ran in the Pan Am relay through Ottawa on June 30.

Ann Coros was chosen as the community torchbearer who kicked off the race by the Heart of Orlé-ans Business Improvement Area, which hosted the launch party at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

Coros is an Orléans resident, mother and lifelong athlete who has completed multiple Ironman

races and Spartan obstacle course races.

Other runners were chosen either through promotions with torch re-lay corporate sponsors, or through an online application.

Stephen Betts, who ran the last Orléans leg, said he applied online to be a torchbearer and was select-ed by Pan Am Games staff.

“It was good, it was really excit-

ing,” Betts said While about 50 people came out

to the celebration kickoff, there were few spectators along the route.

Most who came to watch were the family or friends of the torch-bearers running.

The Pan Am Games opening cer-emony will be held in Toronto on July 10 at the Rogers Centre.

Police identifi ed a body found in the Rideau River on June 27 as that of murder suspect Mu-hab Sultanaly Sultan, 23.

Sultanaly Sultan was wanted in the June 14 murder of 18-year-old Jeremy Cook, in Lon-don, Ont. Cook was shot and killed in a park-ing lot after he used a tracking app to locate his missing cellphone.

Police divers had been searching for any sign of the Sultanaly Sultan since he jumped into the river on June 24. Sultanaly Sultan allegedly tried to run over two police offi cers on bicycles in downtown Ottawa that afternoon, police said. One of the offi cers was hit, but suffered only minor injuries.

After a chase that went from the corner of King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street to Wig-gins Private, the suspect abandoned his car and jumped into the river.

A few hours later, police received calls from residents who had seen a man trying to swim across the river near Range Road and Mann Avenue. Police tried to reach the man, but as they got close, he went under water.

The coroner’s offi ce will conduct an autopsy once the man’s identity is confi rmed.

Ottawa police contacted the province’s spe-cial investigations unit to take over the inves-tigation after the incident on June 24. The SIU investigates reports involving police where death, serious injury or sexual assault occurs.

With fi les from the TorStar News Service

Police ID body found in Rideau River as murder suspect

Staff

Summer is in full swing, which can mean a rise in crimes of opportunity.

But police are hoping to head those off at the pass by sharing some advice.

Ottawa police recently urged resi-dents to keep the windows and doors of their homes locked when no one is around, and are now reminding people to ensure any valuables aren’t left in plain view in their vehicles.

Acting Insp. Donna MacNeil-Char-bot said in a statement on June 25 that it’s just as important “not to leave valuables in plain sight in your vehicle where they may become accessible to would-be thieves.”

Police also say not to leave personal identifi cation, vehicle registration, in-surance certifi cates or credit cards in your vehicle.

“Even loose change can make your vehicle a target,” according to police.

Any thefts should be reported to in-vestigators by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 7300.

POLICE TIPS:

• Always keep your home, garage, shed and vehicle locked, even when you are home

• Close and lock car windows and doors

• Park facing the street and in well-lit areas so potential thieves are more likely to be spotted

• Lock and store bicycles out of sight• Place an 'all valuables removed'

card in plain sight inside your vehicle to remind yourself to remove all valuables and to discourage potential thieves.

Dragon boat teams compete in one of the weekend’s many races. Dragon boating is part of a larger Chinese cultural tradition that began in south East China 2,400 years ago as a fertility rite to avert misfortune and bring rain by worshiping the dragon.

You’re probably tired by now of all the attention given to Canada Day 2017, which is still two

years away, which means two more years of attention. But there are still some matters worth discussing while the topic of national celebrations is still fresh in our minds.

There have been articles discuss-ing people’s dream projects Canada’s 150th birthday. These range from outrageous to necessary to incredibly boring. More intriguingly, there have been articles on how Canada cel-ebrated the 100th in 1967. There was what would be described today as an orgy of government spending, bring-ing museums, arenas and concert halls to places that needed them.

Among the centennial projects, as

they were then called, are Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg, the Ontar-io Science Centre in Toronto and the National Arts Centre. They are still with us, and thank heaven for that. Because it is unlikely that they would be built today. People didn’t worry about budget defi cits in those days. Today, any suggestion of spending on things other than increasing trade or military might would be met with tut-tutting from editorialists and op-position politicians.

We have been conditioned to regard government expenditures, particularly on arts and culture, as wasteful. Yet we clearly needed those centennial projects. We use them today; they are part of the na-tional fabric and our daily lives.

Stephen Harper said on Canada Day that we are “blessed to live in the best country in the world.” Few Canadians would question that. He also paid tribute to the hard work by Canadians in helping us achieve this status. And that’s true too.

What’s also true is that those people had a great spirit of optimism about the future of the country. That was what distinguished 1967. Canadians thought they could do anything, and they were ready to try anything.

The differences between then and now are striking. True, the world is a different place. Our economic situation is not as rosy. There are environmental problems we never imagined in 1967. Nor did we imag-ine terrorism on such a large scale.

But in 1967, the Cold War was very much with us, carrying with it the threat of nuclear annihilation. That didn’t stop us from building museums, arenas and concert halls.

So we should dream big for 2017. Dreaming big means dreaming bigger than monuments. We have enough monuments. But we could use more bridges, particularly around this town. How about pitching a bridge across the Ottawa River?

Dreaming big need not involve fl ashy projects. We could also use more housing for homeless people, more shelters, more care for people with psychiatric diffi culties. The word infrastructure puts many

people to sleep, but the sewers and overpasses of our larger cities are not in good shape. Despite being the best country in the world, Canada has work to do. Canadians can help with that by insisting that governments be imaginative and generous as we approach 2017.

We need to dream big again for 2017COLUMN

CHARLESGORDONFunny Town

To solve any problem, you’ve got to start somewhere. When it comes to solving Ottawa’s problems with social housing, it might as well be Heatherington.

The community located south of Walkley Road, roughly between Bank Street and Conroy Road, is typically in the news for the wrong reasons. Gang violence and drug-related crimes are an all-too-fa-miliar tale for this neighbourhood, which features a signifi cant number of social housing units.

These woes are among the reasons Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans is asking for $250,000 from the city’s strategic initiatives fund for a pilot project that could help transform the area into one that features a more diverse mix of housing, civic institutions and commercial opportunities.

Deans wants to engage with those currently living in the area as well as other community stakehold-ers to craft a new vision for Heatherington, using the strategic initiative funding to get the ball rolling. The vision could include leveraging land owned by the city as well as a parcel owned by Hydro Ottawa,

attracting private developers to change the housing mix in the area.

The designation of Walkley as an arterial main street should also serve to bring added diversity to the area, offering new employment opportunities for those already living there.

Somewhere in the halls of city hall, however, dwell those who don’t want that money specifi cally earmarked for Heatherington. Deans needed to mus-ter support to have Albion-Heatherington specifi cally reinserted into the language of the proposal, after it was removed during the drafting process.

Certainly there are other areas that need help. Richie Street and Bayshore are often mentioned in the same breath as Heatherington when it comes to crime and poverty. The people living there could use help too, but should a project in the city’s south end work out, there would be a model to work from.

Ottawa has struggled to help those living in pov-erty amidst the prosperity of the rest of the city. We shouldn’t tolerate their struggles. Let’s give Heather-ington a chance, and we’ll all be better off for it.

Make Heatherington the model

Millennials now represent seven million Canadians, approxi-mately 20 per cent of the total population.

There’s often a misconception about who or what this generation represents. Glued to their smartphones, lacking responsibility and traditional social skills, selfish or entitled? My bet is that they aren’t really any of those things – except for maybe the smartphone thing. If we con-tinue to look down our old fogey noses at millennials, we may just come to regret it.

In fact, millennials are smart, entrepre-neurial, flexible and, in many cases, global thinkers. Much of this may stem from their staunch independence and rejection of institutions their parents have traditionally supported. According to a study by Pew Research Centre released last year, mil-lennials are delaying marriage, shunning religion and turning away from what they see as polarizing political parties. Half of millennials in the U.S. polled by Pew de-fined themselves as politically independent and one-third say they are not affiliated with any religious institution.

“These are at or near the highest levels of political and religious disaffiliation recorded for any generation in the quarter-century that the Pew Research Center has been polling on these topics,” note the authors of Pew’s 2014 study, Millennials in Adulthood.

This generation is also the most racially diverse, with nearly 50 per cent of Ameri-can millennials identifying as non-white.

Let’s not forget that millennials are

highly tech-savvy, which gives them an edge over almost everyone. Often known as the generation that have embraced technology since they were in diapers, Pew notes this generation is highly engaged in social media and the powers that can bestow upon them. Eighty-one per cent of these digital natives are on Facebook and more than half (55 per cent) say they’ve “posted a selfie.”

A recent article in Report on Busi-ness feature highlighted how the innate digital knowledge of millennials is driving everything in pop culture. Millennials are quickly emerging beyond the baby boom-ers as a force to be reckoned with – driving new innovations in real estate, retail and, if they took it upon themselves, politics.

Their rejection of traditional politics and apathy toward voting is replaced by independent campaigns about more fo-cused issues – causes and concerns without borders and played out strategically on social media.

Millennials may not have a lot of money compared to previous generations, but they know how to spend it. According to Report on Business, they are wary of debt and they’re always looking for the best

deal possible. They are the click-and-buy generation that’s informed about retail practices and deals. They shop around and will source the best priced item online, even if it has to be shipped from Australia.

Health conscious, Report on Business notes it’s this group that’s driving market innovations in food, athletic wear and good coffee.

And let’s not forget, as more baby boomers retire, millennials are taking over workplaces as well. Although some insist millennials are demanding and entitled,

others argue they’re actually just very clear about what they want. As with other institutions, they’re rejecting the traditional nine-to-five work week, wanting more flexibility about where they work, how they work and how fast they move up the corporate ladder.

If you haven’t found a way to like mil-lennials, you’d better start looking deeper. They are a driving force. The sooner we get over our inter-generational discomfort, the better. Retailers, housing developers, employers and politicians ignore millenni-als at their peril.

The Ottawa Hospital de-pends heavily on the kindness and generosity of everyday citi-zens when it comes to funding cancer research and care, and on June 23 it showed its grati-tude in a lasting way.

A donor wall listing the names of more than 700 Ottawa residents was unveiled outside the critical care wing of the Ot-tawa Hospital’s cancer centre,

located at the General campus. The wall puts faces to the $40.5 million donated towards cancer care in Ottawa since 2008, and highlights the importance of community involvement in spe-cialized healthcare.

“The way philanthropy makes a difference is that the provincial funding provides the hospitals with a standard of care, but philanthropy takes it beyond the standard of care,” said Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital

Foundation.“The latest clinical trials, re-

search techniques, robotics, Cy-berknife – that’s 100 per cent funded by the community. It’s critical to expand research and provide a service people can’t get anywhere else.”

Private donations are more important than ever these days, given the financial state and shifting demographics of the province. Hospital fund-ing has been frozen for several years at the Ottawa Hospital, yet demand is growing not just for general services, but for cancer care especially. An

aging population puts more people at risk of cancer and other diseases than before, and the wave is already being felt.

To better serve the city, the hospital is planning to expand its cramped and overworked Women’s Breast Health Cen-tre to accommodate a tide of older Canadians with breast cancer. With $10 million al-ready raised for this purpose, another $4 million is needed to purchase a much-needed MRI machine that will greatly enhance its capabilities.

“We don’t have a definite opening date (for the breast

health centre), but the goal is to have the funds by Decem-ber,” said Kluke, adding that the eventual move of the cen-tre from its current location at the Civic campus to a spot alongside the cancer centre at the General will improve out-comes.

The expansion comes not a moment too soon, as visits to the clinic have increased by 62 per cent in five years. Imaging and procedures – including bi-opsies – have increase by 175 per cent. Referrals are up 96 per cent since the clinic first opened in 2001.

Within the cramped con-

fines of the breast health cen-tre, nine radiologists currently share space designed for two, while other physicians are similarly overburdened.

A five-fold increase in space, coupled with an MRI machine and a tripling of exam rooms will position the hospital to better fulfill its mandate, said Kluke.

“The increase in exam space will ensure as many women as possible can be assessed, and treated more quickly,” said Kluke.

We anticipated that last day of school for weeks before

it finally rolled around, and all the time I went to the Northcote School, our final day before the summer holi-days varied little.

We would be on our very best behaviour just on the off chance that Miss Crosby

would look on us kindly when she was filling out our report cards – although I know now, that a sudden burst of concentration and an effort to increase our production would do little to change the outcome at that point in the school year. The die was cast.

It was long the custom to go dressed in our next-

to-Sunday best on the last day of school. That meant wearing not quite go-to-church clothes, but not play clothes either. Even Cecil would leave his bib overalls at home in exchange for cot-ton twill pants and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. That was just about as dressy as Cecil ever got.

The night before the last day of school, Mother had us write notes to Miss Crosby thanking her for her year of teaching, and her patience. The five letters were obviously similar since Mother sat at the kitchen table dictating them to us.

And just about everyone in the Northcote School would bring an end-of-the-year present for the teacher as well. Those of us who had little or no money would take home-baking or preserves and one year I remember very well, one of the senior boys brought a dressed chicken, trussed up and ready for the oven. By the time Miss Crosby was ready to go home, the back lunch table would be piled high with our gifts of thanks, the most simple of fare.

Alas, the gifts didn’t sway Miss Crosby one iota when it came to the report cards. No amount of baking or preserves could produce a better grade than what she thought you had earned dur-ing the year.

And just because it was the last day of school we weren’t excused from the regular routine Miss Crosby followed religiously every other day of the year. We still had a bible reading in the morning, followed by a long and purposeful prayer, and with our right hand over our hearts a final singing salute to the King. For the rest of the morning we had what the teacher called review work. This was when we had to remember what had been taught months before and come up with instant recall. If we failed to do so, Miss Crosby would send us home on the last day of school with “summer work” as she called it. And she would be right there to check it in September to make sure we had it done.

The noon lunch was always a special time on the last day of school. All the bags were shared, so there was a special effort to make sure the lunches were not just plain honey sandwiches, or pieces of headcheese between two slices of bread. There always seemed to

be lots of chocolate cake and butter tarts, and I can remember how my little friend Joyce would bring homemade fudge for the whole school.

Once we had put in a full morning, Miss Crosby would announce that it was lunch time and we would all move to the outside, ev-eryone carrying a bag from the pile at the back of the school room.

Miss Crosby always brought a big plaid blanket, one of those that people used in open touring cars. This she would spread out on the grass under the elm tree and the 18 of us who made up the entire enrolment of the Northcote School would sit cross-legged on the grass around the blanket.

The lunches would be heaped in the centre, and this was the one time when Miss Crosby didn’t stand on ceremony. We could reach and grab as much as we wanted, all the time staying within the limits of good manners of course.

When every last scrap had been eaten, there was rarely a crust left for the birds, Miss Crosby would open a story book she had brought from her home and read us the final chapters. It would be a book that she had been reading to us, one chapter at a time for weeks, and the last day of school was the culmination of that once-a-week read.

We half listened. We wanted to hear the end of the book certainly, but we dreaded the last paragraph. Because when Miss Crosby closed the book for the last time, we dreaded what was coming next. It was report card time, and there was no getting away from it. She kept the report cards

in a big folder made out of advertisements from Scott’s Hardware store, the kind used to wrap around textbooks for protection. They were handed out by class: primer book first and then right up to the entrance class. We would steal a peek and let out a roar of sheer joy. We had passed. We had made it into the next grade.

Although it would be frowned on today, it was considered a pleasure to be handed a clean-up job before the little one-room schoolhouse was locked up for the summer. The senior girls washed down the slate blackboards, we younger ones took the brushes outside and pounded them together to get every last smidgen of chalk off them and the windowsills were scrubbed. All but a few of the older boys were shooed out of the schoolhouse, and their job was to scour the wood floor with soapy water, a good dash of Lysol, and a mop.

Inside we knew Miss Crosby would be stuffing the several holes in the baseboards where on a good day we would see four or five mice scurrying from one opening to another. A textbook would be propped against each hole to further antagonize the field mice that tried to gain entry to our precious building.

The year was coming to a close. You could be sure you earned every last comment on the report card, be it good or bad. The long months of summer lay before us, and with mixed feelings of relief and joy, they too would be gone, and Miss Crosby and the spotlessly cleaned one-room schoolhouse would once again be ready and waiting for us.

All students at Northcote welcomed the final day of school MARY COOKMemories

The process of signing for that new home has now become easier, thanks to changes made by the provincial government.

An amendment to the Electronic Commerce Act announced on June 29 would see the need for pen-and-paper document signing become obsolete in the case of home and property sales.

By allowing electronic signatures,

less time would be wasted preparing and mailing dozens of hard copy docu-ments that have to be signed by hand. When it comes into effect on July 1, Ontario will become the sixth province to allow the practice.

“For anyone buying or selling a home, signing and delivering docu-ments can be a complex and time-con-suming process,” stated Attorney Gen-eral Madeleine Meilleur.

The change stems from a 2012 pri-vate members bill introduced by Ot-

tawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Progressive Conservative MPP Todd Smith (Prince Edward-Hastings) that sought to increase the allowance of electronic documents in real estate.

The bill was adopted in 2013 as part of the government’s budget bill.

“In 2000, with the advent of the Internet, the government of the day brought in the Electronics Commerce Act … to regulate the whole sector and ensure consumer protection,” said Naqvi. “They made one exception

– that the purchase and sales of houses could not take place through electronic signatures. The reason was that tech-nology was still uncertain at the time.”

Naqvi said that in the lead-up to the implementation of the amendment, Meilleur consulted legal watchdogs to ensure they were confident in the planned change. Those bodies ulti-mately approved of adding the amend-ment to the act.

“This change will allow for some-one to use their smart device - like an iPad – and, through secure and recog-nized software, sign a document and email it right back,” said Naqvi.

Realtors obviously stand to be im-pacted by the change. The Ontario Real Estate Association signalled their approval of the amendment on the same day with a glowing blog post.

In it, OREA president and Ottawa-area realtor Patricia Verge described the lengthy process of scanning, faxing and mailing that typically accompanies the sale of a property.

“This process can be cumbersome,” said Verge. “The technology allows agreements to be filled out on a com-puter or tablet, changes can be tracked and documents can be transmitted with ease.”

Airport authority to pitch in for rail linkEmma [email protected]

Councillors around the finance com-mittee table were downright delighted – and perhaps a bit surprised – when the ottawa international airport au-thority’s Ceo showed up with an of-fer to pitch in for a light rail link to the airport.

mark laroche told the committee on June 29 he is willing to invest about $35 million to install a transit station at the airport if the city goes ahead with the rail spur as part of its stage two light rail plans.

“We believe we must have a world class transportation system that is in-ter-modal, reliable, convenient and efficient,” laroche said. to that end, funding for an airport station “fits the kind of infrastructure spending that is allowable, so we are prepared to pro-ceed in that direction.”

he said transport Canada regula-tions limit him from investing in mass transit projects, so he’s not able to put up any money for the tracks them-selves.

but incorporating a rail station into his upcoming terminal expansion plans to redo the check-in and security areas would be a perfect way for the airport to get involved.

“if we know what’s coming we can

engineer that flow-through and make it much more convenient,” he said.

the airport link is supposed to cost about $155 million if it’s built between 2018 and 2023 in conjunction with the trillium o-train extension to river-side south.

but it’s not part of the city’s ap-proved “affordability network” laid out in the 2013 transportation master plan, so if the link is going to get built, it’s going to have to get funding from another level of government.

laroche said he’s happy to help the city make that happen, if it means his airport can be connected to a modern light rail network that will help him increase the city’s economic viability – and therefore the number of passen-gers moving through his terminal.

“you typically have only one shot,” laroche said. “if you don’t get it done at the same time as the trillium line extension, it’s unlikely that it will get done. We are loathe to let that hap-pen.”

the announcement came as the finance and economic development committee considered functional de-signs for three light rail expansions as part of the city’s $3 billion, 30-ki-lometre stage two package: west to bayshore and baseline stations, east to place d’orléans and south to bowes-ville road.

those three projects are all ap-proved in principle, and only a lack of provincial and federal funding can de-rail them now.

but staff also included full func-tional designs and cost estimates for the rail spur and another $160 million extension to trim line in the east end in the hopes that provincial and federal funding will allow them to get built, too.

Councillors expressed some sur-prise at the airport authority’s offer. Gloucester-southgate Coun. diane deans implied that level of co-opera-tion was perhaps missing from previ-ous meetings on the issue.

“i was just delighted to hear mr. la-roche say the airport is ready and will-ing to be a partner in the advancement of rapid transit to the airport,” deans said. “i think that’s really significant for the future of our city.”

Watson also wasted no time wel-coming laroche to the table.

“We were very pleasantly surprised by the president of the airport, who came to the table very much in the spirit of co-operation to indicate that he wants to have skin in the game,” Wat-son said. “We very much look forward to working with the airport to put a link to the airport in the southern route.”

the stage two functional designs were to be considered on July 8.

Wearing a pristine white lab coat and blue protective gloves, Milenko Dragic gently carries a plastic pouch with 25 millilitres of umbilical cord blood.

So small, it fi ts in the palm of the medical lab technician’s hand, with room to spare.

He then lays it down on a special-ly lit countertop inside the Canadian Blood Services stem cell manufac-turing facility in Nepean, one of two in Canada that, along with fi ve hospital collection sites, make up the new national public cord blood bank, which offi cially launched June 25.

Dragic sets to work, preparing to draw a two-millilitre sample from the bag that will be tested for con-taminants, such as HIV and hepa-titis. Time is of the essence as the stem cell-rich blood must be frozen within 48 hours after the blood is collected following birth.

“It’s so exciting. It still doesn’t

get old to me,” says Heidi Elmoaz-zen, director of the national bank, as she watches Dragic work inside the laboratory. “It’s always remarkable to me that we started with something that was originally medical waste and we’ve processed it into this little 25-ml bag that’s life-saving for somebody.”

80 DISEASES

The unit of blood, brought in from Brampton, Ont., 24 hours after a wom-an gave birth and voluntarily donated her umbilical cord blood, is enough to potentially save the life of someone fi ghting one of more than 80 diseases and blood disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma or sickle cell anemia.

“Right now it’s at least 80 diseases and disorders, but that list keeps grow-ing,” Elmoazzen says.

The magic of the cord blood is its high concentration of blood-forming stem cells, which are less mature than adult stem cells, and for that reason, they don’t need to be a perfect match.

Ottawa Humane Society dogs among the rarest of canine breeds

Generations of fortuitously-selected characteristics blend beautifully to become a one-of-a-kind masterpiece — your new best canine friend from the Ottawa Humane Society.

Traditional breeds are commonplace and dull compared to these exclusive canines; the Westminster Kennel Club has nothing OHS dogs! Ever heard of a Shaggy English Snugterrier? What about the Speckled Chesterfield Hound? Rare shelter breeds such as these are at the OHS waiting to be

adopted right now! Welcome one of these titans of

uniqueness into your family today and you’ll be entered to win a prize pack that will give you the tools to delve into your new friend’s parentage with a dog DNA kit. The winner will also have the opportunity to indulge in masterpieces of artistic and culinary genius with gift certificates to the National Gallery of Canada and Play Food and Wine.

The grand prize winner will also take home seven designer dog collars, one

for every day of the week, establishing a wardrobe befitting such a master of individuality. All dog adopters will also qualify for 15 per cent off at the Buddy and Belle Boutique on adoption day.

OHS dogs have a peerless lineage from which has emerged an exclusive handsomeness and personality that makes them the rarest of the shelter breeds and prized family members for years to come. To learn more, please visit the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Meet Nellie (ID#A180340), a sweet, active girl who would love to accompany you on your summer adventures.

Nellie is a playful girl who loves going for walks, playing in the park, or simply spending time toys with her new family. She is a well behaved girl who is fully house trained and crate trained.

She would prefer a home with children who are just as gentle as she is. She can get along well with other dogs as long as they are introduced slowly to give them time to get to know each other.

For more information on Nellie and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.Nellie (iD#A180340)

Cord blood bank will represent cost-savings to health-care systemContinued from page 20

About 25 per cent of patients in need of a transplant – which is done by way of a blood transfusion – find a match within their families.

Though there are 635,000 publicly banked cord blood units around the world and 25.5 million adult donors, half of Canadian patients requiring a transplant are without a match.

And their numbers have tripled in the past five years.

“Right now in Canada, at any given time, we’re searching on be-half of almost 1,000 people waiting for a stem cell transplant,” Elmoaz-zen says, adding that many patients who have trouble finding matches are from ethnically diverse back-grounds.

“We have a lot of ethnic groups in Canada that you don’t find in other parts of the world, such as our First Nation, Inuit, Métis population,” she says. “And we have a lot of mixed mar-riages here in Canada, so that causes some challenges when you’re looking for stem cell donors.”

FIRST IN CANADA

Since the country’s first cord blood manufacturing facility opened in Ne-

pean in September 2013, almost 5,000 birthing mothers have donated their cord blood. However, through a rig-orous testing process to ensure dona-tions are free from contaminants and that they are concentrated with enough

stem cells, the number of stored units is much less; little more than 850.

“Actually, we’re doing quite well for a new bank,” Elmoazzen says, noting the Canadian public bank has higher standards than other banks.

Once the number of accepted do-nations was high enough, Canadian Blood Services launched its national and international cord blood registry around the start of the year.

In addition to providing Canadians with an ethnically diverse bank, the operation will also represent a cost savings to the health-care system.

“Right now all the cord blood units that we get are from international sources we pay for,” Elmoazzen says.

Each unit costs an average of $42,000, and while a child or small adult may only need one unit, larger adults can require two – significantly adding to the expense.

The national bank has been years in the making.

Several elements had to first fall into place: provincial and territorial health ministries (with the exception of Que-bec) agreed in 2011 to contribute $48 million over eight years to establish the bank, with $12.5 million coming from Canadian Blood Services. The agency launched its inaugural fundraising campaign as a result to help offset the set-up cost.

The bank has been set up in stages, beginning with the opening of the Ot-tawa processing facility at 40 Con-course Gate in 2013, around the same time it began partnering with the Ot-

tawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses, where cord blood can be donated by willing mothers who give birth there.

A collection site was then estab-lished at Brampton Civic Hospital in July 2014, followed by the B.C. Wom-en’s Hospital and Health Centre in Vancouver and the Lois Hole Hospital for Women in Edmonton in January of this year.

That coincided with the opening of a second cord blood processing and storage facility in Edmonton, which is similar to Ottawa’s in that they can each store and cryo-preserve up to 7,000 stem cell blood units at -196 Celsius.

Canada was the only G7 nation that didn’t have a public bank – some banks have been around since the late ’80s or early ’90s, but Elmoazzen says the de-lay worked to Canada’s advantage.

Experts here were able to look to other models around the world.

“Because we were a little bit late to the game it actually allowed us to get a lot of key learnings from what other banks have done.”
