The early bird may get the
worm, but the early riser was
able to partake in the Salvation Army Pembroke Pancake
Breakfast Fundraiser.
Held at the Kiwanis Club in
Pembroke on May 27, community members were invited to
enjoy a hearty breakfast cooked
by volunteers. This annual hot
morning meal supports local
programs such as the Youth
Centre, food bank and soup
kitchen.
“The pancake breakfast has
been running here for years,”
said Director of Public Rela-
tions and Development in the
Eastern Ontario Region Sean
Maddox. “It seems to be a model
that works. People like to come
out early in the morning and get
on with their business day.”
Funds from the long-standing tradition has allowed the
Youth Centre to thrive, offering young people a safe place
where they can find mentors
and friends. The fundraiser also
provides money to host a lunchhour soup kitchen four days a
week, assists with the Salvation
Army’s food bank, its emergency disaster services as well as
Christmas Hampers.

New RSM for 4th Canadian Division
Support Base Operations Services
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Outgoing
Regimental
Sergeant Major (RSM) Chief
Warrant Officer Marty Walhin wrote a speech for the
occasion of his departure
from 4th Canadian Division
Support Base Petawawa Operations Services (4 CDSB
Ops Svcs).
It was the first time in his
29 years of military service
that he had ever done so. He
wanted to make sure he remembered to thank as many
people as possible for their
help along the way. The list
was long, thorough and sincere. He spoke from the heart,
admitting he hoped he left the
unit in a better standing.
Over his three years in
the role, he has made strong
bonds and partnerships,
leaving a positive impression on all those around him.
“I was only here for 10
months, but I certainly felt
a bond and felt comfortable
right from the first time I
met CWO Walhin during my
house hunting trip,” said 4
CDSB Ops Svcs Commander
Lieutenant Colonel Richard
Raymond. “... He made me
look forward to taking command here.”
During the May 30
Change of Appointment, he
praised his former RSM for
his loyalty, his honesty, his
leadership and his friendship. These traits aren’t
found in all command
teams, but were definitely a
major factor of this particular partnership, confirmed
the Lieutenant Colonel.
CWO Walhin will assume
the mantle of the Corps of
Royal Canadian Electrical
and Mechanical Engineers’
(RCEME) Sergeant Major.
“It’s going to be a really
good experience and a challenge,” said CWO Walhin. “...
I’m looking forward to it.”
When he looks back at
his time with 4 CDSB Ops
Svcs, he feels pride. Because
he arrived just as the unit
was being formed, he was
able to help build it from the
ground up.
“I had little knowledge of
what 4 CDSB Ops Svcs was,
what the whole transformation was about so I came in a
little in the dark,” said CWO
Walhin. “But I can tell you
though, that it didn’t take me
too long to figure out what
it was; 4 CDSB Ops Svcs is
a small team of extremely
dedicated, professional, in-
ternalist military and civilian
personnel.”
With such strong staff, he
did not feel that he needed to
wish his successor any luck.

There was no shortage of volunteers to assist
with food preparation, and members from Garrison Petawawa served breakfast to participants.
“The Salvation Army has a long history of
working with the Army, it goes back to World
War II,” said Maddox. “We used to have pastors
on bases. So they appreciate that we are trying to
help them as well.”
Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel
Marc Gagné echoed that sentiment. He was more
than willing to roll up his sleeves and brush up on
his waiter skills in support of the Salvation Army.
“I think it is important to see people from the
Garrison, officers and NCMs, coming out to help
the community,” he said, adding there is a strong

connection between the military and the surrounding municipalities.
Military members are very busy with their
training schedule, but Col Gagne said they still try
to provide all the support they can, especially for
organizations like the Salvation Army.
“It is a good organization,” said the Colonel.
“It helps the community, it helps the people here
in the Valley. It is well known and well-respected.
It is a critical piece for the community to have.”
Kiwanian Larry Fisher was also happy to lend
his club’s facilities, equipment and volunteers to
the Salvation Army for this event.
“They are one of the best outfits going as far as
I am concerned,” he said.

PMFRC, PSP Petawawa volunteers recognized at annual awards night
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Typically working hard behind the
scenes, the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC) and the Personnel
Support Programs (PSP) volunteers were
given centre-stage during the CANEX Volunteer Appreciation Night.
About 100 people attended the May 26
event and were showered with praise for their
countless hours of hard work and effort. As
they walked into Reichwald Warrant Officers’
and Sergeants’ Mess, they were greeted with
live music, delicious food and a chance to win
some truly fabulous prizes.
It is a traditional event eagerly awaited
by volunteers every year.
“It’s our way of showing them our appreciation,” said PMFRC Volunteer Coordinator Julie Cajelais. “And even though we do
many different events in the year, this one is
the most important.”
“We just really appreciate everything
they do, and we like to recognize our volunteers,” added PMFRC Executive Director Claudia Beswick, pointing out there are
about 200 volunteers on record. “... Volunteering is near and dear to my heart. So any
time I can recognize them, I’m there.”
Both the PMFRC and PSP Petawawa heavily rely on volunteers to offer services and recreational programs. Without them, these organizations would suffer as volunteers are their
backbone, providing stability and support,
confirmed Beswick.
Each brings something unique and spe-
cial to the events, programs and activities
they create, nurture and bring to life.
“We really believe that having them be
a part of the team is really important for us,
but for them as well,” said Cajelais.
Though she is impressed by the dedication of all of her volunteers, she is especially
proud of her youth. The youth program was
created in October, and already they are a
group of “awesome kids, who have accomplished so many things that it is unbelievable,” she said.
Karen Donovan, PSP’s Manager of
Community Recreation, is also always impressed by the dedication of volunteers of
all ages. She loves the fact that this event
takes the time to focus and thank them for
all the time they’ve put in throughout the
year, recognizing their value. The spirit
and depth of knowledge they bring to each
of the organizations is invaluable, Donovan confirmed.
There are many reasons why somebody
would want to volunteer.
“There is a lot to be gained from volunteerism,” said Donovan. “There is the sense of
community, you are part of a group, you are
able to contribute back to the community.”
It also has a lot of therapeutic benefits,
and it allows people to immerse themselves
in a sport or activity that they love.
The event was sponsored by CANEX.
CANEX General Manager Gerald Doner was
grateful for the opportunity to give back to
the volunteers, just as they give back to Petawawa.

“Each minute you spend as a volunteer
benefits the community and improves the morale and welfare of our soldiers,” said Doner.
4th Canadian Division Support Group
(4 CDSG) Commander Colonel Marc Gagne
also offered his thanks, highlighting how integral volunteers are to the community.
“I am asking you tonight to continue with
your commitment and support, and possibly
to bring in new people to join you,” he said.
Both PSP and the PMFRC are always actively on the look-out for more volunteers.
“We have a lot activities, a lot of things
going on for our youth, for our children, for
our families, for adults, so we always need
those extra bodies to make sure the programs
and services are running smoothly,” said
Donovan.
As well as generally acknowledging their
work, awards were given out at the event.
The PSP Volunteer of the Year 2016 Award
went to Hazen Lewis while the PSP Volunteer Award of Merit for 2016 went to Lindsay
Parsons.
The PMFRC Youth Volunteer of the Year
2016 Award went to Sabryna Eustache, the
PMFRC Volunteer of the Year 2016 Award
went to Ryan Cadoreth, and the PMFRC Volunteer of Merit for 2016 Award went to Olga
Eastabrook. For her hard work organizing
the Garrison Petawawa Triathlon, Jennifer
McPhee received a commendation.

Sexual Misconduct Response Centre helping victims anonymously
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The Sexual Misconduct
Response Centre has been
established to fill gaps in the
system by providing victim
support services.
Individuals who have
been subjected to harmful or
inappropriate sexual behaviour by members of the Canadian Armed Forces have access to this centre where they
can receive confidential help
and supportive counseling.
“Their privacy is fully
protected, and they can remain anonymous until they
want to formally report,”
said Executive Director Glynnis French. “They can work
through their options as well
as working through many
of the difficult emotions that
they may experience as a result of the incident that they
have been a part of.”
Sexual misconduct can
range from inappropriate
comments and jokes to sexual
violence. This centre addresses them all, helping people
create strategies to deal with
issues early on, and to prevent
them from escalating. Men
are just as likely to be a target,
and they often keep it a more
tightly guarded secret, reacting in a different way, noted
French.
As such the centre is tailored to deal with anybody,
regardless of gender or rank.
“It is a myth that perpetrators are only men,” said
French. “Often we have men
and women who are both
victims and perpetrators for
sexual misconduct… (Men)
often adopt a macho kind
of approach in the military,
which makes it harder for
them in some ways to deal
with incidents of sexual assault and harassment.”
The centre supports individuals in the way they
desire - if they feel they just
need to talk, highly trained
counselors are in place to listen. If they are looking into
their options before making
a decision on how to proceed, the centre facilitates access to services and resources. If a victim does not want
to report the issue, the centre
supports them as well.
“We will support the
person in the way that they
want to be supported,” said
Senior Counselor Mireille
Eujold. “Sometimes it is just
providing them with appropriate language so they can
go back to the person who
made the inappropriate joke
and have a sit-down and tell
them that it bothered them.”
They do so in a way that
the victim is comfortable with,
in a language that will be understood. Managing expectations is also a key point.
“Men tend not to want
to report because of different
reasons. It can be a fear of repercussion or being made fun
of by their peers,” said Eugold. “So it is really about empowering them about making
the right decisions and push
forward so it actually stops.”
Born from Operation
Honour and based out of Ottawa, the centre offers compassion and respect. It opened
its doors on Sept. 15, 2015 to
the public, and they are still in
the period called “initial operating capacity.” French and
her team have been travelling to bases across Canada to
speak about what is offered.
She made a stop in Petawawa
on May 13 to discuss the centre with garrison soldiers.
“We
are
considering
whether or not we need satellite offices as we move towards
full operating capacity,” said
French. “But that decision has
not been (made).”

Steve Nolan shakes hands with Sexual Misconduct Response Centre Executive Director Glynnis French
and presents her with a coin. French and her team visited Garrison Petawawa on May 13 to bring awareness to the services it offers. (Submitted photo)
Initially the operating
hours were from 7 a.m. to 5
p.m. (EST), but those hours
will extend to 8 p.m. by the
end of May. This will cover
all the time zones in Canada.
Longer hours have been seen
as more important than addi-
tional offices at the moment.
The centre also partners
with outside, non-military
services as well as military
police, health services and
chaplains.
“We need to be aware of
local services and only fill
the gap where there is a gap
and not duplicate services,”
said French.

PETAWAWA – Every Thursday evening,
the 2642 3 RCR Army Cadet Corps Drill team
practiced drill movements in preparation for
the Northern Ontario Area Cadet Band and
Drill Competition on Mother’s Day Weekend
in North Bay.
Thirteen cadets received coaching instruction on the art and precision of drill without
arms from Coaches MWO Green, Capt Heidel,
Sgt Smith, and CI Phillips as well as additional
staff members like Capt Bridgeman. Drill has
been an important staple of the Army Cadet
Corps’ weekly training regime, particularly for
Regular, CO, and Ceremonial Parades.
Cadets learn a transferable skillset that
will prove to be invaluable in life outside
of the Army Cadet Corps. Drill strongly requires teamwork, self-control, discipline,
and leadership to march, as well as maneuver in unison as a cohesive squad. According to Coach MWO Green, “in order to make
drill work, everyone works as a team.”
They also develop physical coordination
and precision as well as the ability to listen
to fellow cadets’ commands. More so, the cadets who joined the team feel they developed
better drill habits and greater confidence in
themselves while acquiring more exposure
to the Cadet Corps Training Program.
Cadets who joined the Drill team gave
up their free time to train. So why join? WO
Saunders has been on the drill team for three
years since he began as a private. He enjoys
coming out to train but also heading to competitions because of the people he meets and
the fun memories he shares with his teammates. Cpl Nordin also joined this year because he finds drill “fun.”
Legacy and friendship also appear to go
hand in hand. Sgt Dempsey says he saw how
much fellow cadet, Sgt Levac, enjoyed the
drill team. “I then wanted to carry on what
he left behind,” he says. “Since I made that
choice, I’ve enjoyed it!”
2642 3 RCR Army Cadet Corps Drill
team members as well as their coaches are
also confident this year’s team will have had
more success at the Regional Competition
than in the past. Sgt Saunders says her reason
for having “high spirits” is because she feels
this year’s team is much better than the last.
“Their drill is quite superior than in the
past,” says Coach CI Phillips. His reasoning –
“They learned tremendously fast and were eager to better themselves at drill.”
The Drill team is still waiting to receive
their final score in drill without arms and was
among about 350 cadets competing throughout the weekend. Their team was evaluated
on drill movement individually and as a team,
their uniform inspections, and how well they
followed orders at the Northern Ontario Area

Cadet Band and Drill Competition.
Whether the Army Cadet Corps Drill team
moves on to Provincials and hopefully, Nationals is unforeseeable, but the camaraderie of
teammates and the skills they developed this
year will remain.
Most significantly, the cadets’ hard work,
discipline, and determination left an impression on the Drill team’s coaching staff.
“I personally feel the cadets have given
it their all and I am very proud of this year’s
team,” Coach Sgt Smith proudly states.
2642 3 RCR Army Cadet Corps welcomes
new members and accepts any youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Interested youth
can come to Building O-9 (Korea Hall), Garrison Petawawa, on Tuesday evenings from 6
to 9 p.m. and must have a parent to register.

Cops for Cancer raises $6,592
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
For the eighth year in a
row, police officers from all
over the area demonstrated
their support in the quest for
a world without cancer by
shaving their heads at First
Choice Haircutters and personally serving meals at East
Side Mario’s in Pembroke.
Cops for Cancer is an
annual event which raises
money for Canadian Cancer
Society - Renfrew County
Unit. This year, $6,592 was
collected, which will be used
for research as well as local
programs.
“I think its great for (police
officers) to get more involved
in the community and raise
money for a great cause,” said
the society’s Volunteer Coordinator Terri McNamara.
The event was started by
five police officers volunteering for a head shaving. Going
bald wasn’t nearly enough,
though, and many found
themselves beardless as well;
one officer even shaved his
eyebrows for extra donations.
“I didn’t get mine shaved,
but there were other officers
who did very well with regards of funds,” said Ontario
Provincial Police (OPP) Constable Shawn Peever.
From that event alone,
they raised $4,900.
“We didn’t know how
much to expect in regards
to head (shaving) having
pledges, so it was a pleasant
This Friday, June 3 we start our BBQs. On the menu
is chicken, sausage and foot long hot dogs with salad.
Join us from 4:30-6 p.m. for a nice relaxing supper in our
lounge or sit out on the screened patio.
If you drive by the branch you will see a new piece of
hardware sitting to the right of the cenotaph. Our M109
self propelled howitzer has arrived. Come check it out.
Don’t forget, coming up on June 12 is the General
meeting at 3 p.m. Mark your calendars and show up for
the last meeting until fall.
Well everybody, I am signing off as Public Relations
Officer. I have held the post for the last 18 years and in
that time, I have written an article a week. That adds up
to 900 articles. When I started, the article was hand written and brought up to the Post. It then went to floppy
disc and then thankfully, we used email. Have to love
technology. I wish my replacement good luck and keep
passing on the information of what is going on at the
branch.
The new executive takes over June 1 and with the
new people comes new ideas so keep your minds open
and help them out.
Tickets for our Canada Day steak and chicken dinner
will go on sale soon. Keep checking here.
This September the members of the Ladies Auxiliary
from around Ontario will be coming to Petawawa for
their provincial convention. As the chairman for this, my
committee and I will be very busy getting ready.
Join us on the web at www.petawawalegion.ca or on
facebbook at Petawawa Royal Canadian Legion Br 517.
surprise,” said Peever. “One
of the officers was almost to
$3,000 alone.”
With many proudly sporting their clean shaves, the
officers then went on to the
restaurant to try their hand at
the service industry. To prevent any mix-ups or spills,
they were paired with veteran
servers, some of whom even
donated their night’s wage to
further the police’s cause.
Owner of East Side Mario’s
Todd Fletcher wasn’t worried
about mistakes. After so many
years offering his restaurant
space for this fundraiser, he
has realized that police members aren’t without talents in
the dining room.
“They are great waiters,
he said. “A lot of them have
been doing this for five or
six years... They might drop
or break some dishes, but I
don’t think they’ll spill anything on anybody.”
The officers were also a
huge draw as hungry patrons
were able to spend time with
them in a casual setting.

shredded cheese. Const. Nicol has been participating in the Cops for Cancer event for several years and
has helped raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society - Renfrew County Unit. (Photo by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
“It’s great just for the community to interact with cops
in a fun way,” Fletcher said.
Live music and draws
also helped entice diners
into lending their support to
the cause.
“Its just a great fun
night,” said Peever. “... We
want to keep on doing it annually to raise those important funds for cancer.”

Plan for the fun of summer - even on a budget
(NC) There is no shortage of exciting activities
throughout the summer, but
if you aren’t properly budgeting, you could be missing
out. From festivals to road
trips, picnics to pool parties, these plans often have a
huge impact on our wallets.
Interac Association offers
some helpful tips on money
management, for a budgetfriendly summer.
• Plan a barbecue or pic-
nic. This is a great way to
hang out with friends and
family while staying on budget. Make a list of the foods
you need based on the recipes you plan to cook; this
will help prevent you from
picking up unnecessary ‘extras’ when shopping.
• Consider a staycation.
Instead of worrying about
exchange rates and foreign
currency, now may be the
perfect time to stay local. Get

own neighbourhood, city,
or province. Activities like
hiking and camping are low
cost, and lots of fun.
• Find the free stuff.
Check out your local community paper for free events
like concerts, street festivals
and outdoor activities. These
can be a great way to spend
an evening with friends,
family or neighbours without overspending.
• Plan your big expenses.
When you do make a big
purchase, be sure to do some
research and plan ahead.
Spontaneous trips, for example, can be expensive. Always look for the best travel
deals first, shop around for
accommodations, and look
online for great tips from locals.

Valour top ‘A’ school at UOVHSAA Track and Field Championships
By Gary Serviss
Valour JK-12 School
The UOVHSAA Track and
Field Championships began
ominously as all the Renfrew
County secondary schools
travelled by bus in the pouring rain to the Terry Fox Athletic Facility in Ottawa. The County championships were held in Ottawa
due to repairs being done on
the Arnprior track. As the Valour athletes disembarked, the rain did not
dissipate and the first events
began with athletes shivering
in a cold, windy rain. The day began with the
steeplechase and Valour
started well with Nick DiGiacinto placing 2nd, Tommy Luesink 3rd, Nathan
Frampton 5th and Wyatt
SHamess 7th. The top four athletes in
each event advance to the
EOSSAA Championships on
May 24-25 in Brockville. The rain eventually turned
to sunny skies after lunch and
Valour athletes used the good
weather to their advantage. Valour finished second
in the overall team standings
behind Arnprior District
High School but were the top
“A” school overall. Valour also had three

Combatives Grappling Championships coming
to Garrison Petawawa on June 25
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Soldiers across Canada
are invited to register for
the upcoming Garrison Petawawa Combatives Grappling Championships.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
is the fastest growing sport
in the Canadian Armed
Forces (CAF). This event,
as well as the sport itself,
promotes warrior culture
in the CAF in addition to
giving soldiers a safe and
competitive environment to
practice fighting elements.
“There is no truer or
greater display of the essence of warrior tradition
than hand-to-hand combat,”
said
Tournament
Technical Director Major
Steven Burgess. “It’s the
foundation of all. In Japan,
they have a saying. To master a weapon, one must
master oneself.”
Proceeds from registration fees and day-of dona-
tions will go to Soldier On.
The tournament really highlights the desire for warriors
to help other warriors.
“We use it as an expression of warrior culture
while helping those that
are in their time of greatest
need,” said Maj Burgess.
The championships will
be held on June 25. This
combative tournament was
initially created in 2013 and
hosted in Petawawa. True to
its name, the event focuses on
grappling rather than striking.
As the founding member of Evolution BJJ Petawawa and proud supporter of the sport, Maj Burgess
is pleased the military tournament has grown in leaps
and bounds. In just four
years, it has climbed from
about 20 participants to
hundreds from all over the
country. Every single province will be represented
during the event.
“I consistently message
(soldiers) … that it is a grass-
roots movement,” said Maj
Burgess. “Warrior culture
belongs to them. It’s not just
me up front talking about it.
At the end of the day, it lives
and dies with them, with
each and every soldier in the
military. They decide what
their culture is, and whether
they value it or not.
“That’s why I’m so
proud this movement has
caught on,” he added.
According to Burgess,
BJJ, most notably the grappling aspect of the sport, is
a particularly good martial
art for soldiers as it teaches
them to refine their own
bodies into living weaponry. All units at the garrison
have a combative sports
team that they can enter
into the tournament; these
teams can vary from a single soldier to a small group.
As the tournament continues to grow, Maj Burgess
hopes to invite the American grappling team to compete in Petawawa, as well
as send a National Canadian team across the border.
“It’s growing exponentially every year,” he said.
At the end of the tournament, the best female
athlete, the best male athlete as well as the best overall team will win medals,
trophies as well as the coveted Samurai sword.

Physiotherapists for a day
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Petawawa Physiotherapy and Sports
Injury Clinic opened its doors to students
from Bishop Smith Catholic High School,
inviting them to learn more about what life
is like as a physiotherapist.
This open house has been occurring for
several years, and has always been a great
success.
“I really feel that if you can get your
hands on things, and learn a little more
about the profession, you’ll have a better
job deciding what you want to do,” said
Clinic Co-Owner Jennifer Schori.
Becoming teachers for the day allows
her and her staff to give back to the community, and help shape the students’ future, shining a light on this growing sector
of the health care industry.
“It breeds awareness of what we do here
and that we are here and waiting to help
anybody who needs help,” said Schori.
It is a challenging and rewarding career, said Schori. It does require a Masters
Degree, and prospective physiotherapists
must be committed to assisting individuals recovering from illness and injury, and
promoting physical health. They must also
be caring and compassionate, collecting
knowledge through years of experience
and continued education.
For some that education begins early.
Teacher Carol Plue brought her Grade
12 health care students to the clinic on May
18 to let them see the physiotherapists in
action for themselves.
“We try to give them experiences outside of the classroom,” she said. “... We

feel that this type of hands-on, experiential
learning is a great asset. They get to see the
real world, and a real world application.”
As well as learning about the industry,
therapeutic exercise, proprioception and
balance, therapeutic taping and tools, the
students were introduced to acupuncture
and electrical muscle stimulation. The braver students submitted themselves to both of
these therapeutic practices. This hands-on
education allowed them to see if this was a
career path that interested them.
“Some of these students might become
physiotherapists as a career and this gives
them a head up of what to expect,” said Plue.

Robert Gribbons is able to balance himself. Balance
is an integral part of physiotherapy. (Above) Madeline Johnson is the first of the students to receive an

Tips on how to inspect a new home
(NC) You explored different
neighbourhoods,
poured over house designs
and floorplans, took a deep
breath, signed the sales
agreement, and then you
waited with anticipation for
your new home to finally be
built. Now the day for you
to move in has arrived at
long last. But wait!
Before you actually take
possession, there’s a critical
first step to keep in mind.
It’s called the Pre-Delivery
Inspection, or PDI. This is
critical because it’s your first
real chance to get a top to
bottom look at your home in
its completed state. So, you
may be close to calling it
your new home, but keep in
mind there’s still some work
to be done before you start
making it your own.
In Ontario, it’s mandatory for new home builders to
conduct a PDI on every home
and condominium unit. This
is your builder’s chance to
show you how the various
systems in your home operate. For the homeowner,
it’s a chance to inspect your
home’s overall condition before you move in.
This mandatory inspection is part of the warranty
process. Almost all new
homes in Ontario come
with a warranty provided
by your builder, and backed
by Tarion. The warranty includes deposit protection,
delay compensation and
three separate warranties
lasting up to seven years for
various defects in workmanship.
While the PDI is mandatory, new home builders can
and often do approach the
PDI in their own way. Generally speaking, a builder
should take you through

each room and around the
exterior of the home. He or
she should demonstrate that
all the systems (like heating,
plumbing, electrical) are
functioning properly. As the
homeowner, you should be
satisfied that there is nothing missing, incomplete or
damaged.
Here are some additional
tips from Tarion on how to
thoroughly inspect a brand
new home:
• Examine it inside and
out. Look for things like
chips in bathtubs and sinks,
scratches on counter tops,
damage to floors, walls, cabinetry or other finishings,
plus doors and windows
that are not secure or do not
open and close easily.
• Outside, check things
like the quality of brickwork
and siding, whether window screens have been installed, and the appearance
of the driveway and landscaping.
• Take photos of any
defects in your new home.
These may be helpful later
on if you make a warranty
claim to Tarion.
• Review the notes your
builder takes carefully to
make sure they’re complete.
This will become the official record of the condition
of your home before you
moved in.
• If you are contemplating the idea of hiring a professional home inspector, a
good time to do so is before
the 30-day or year-end warranty period ends. You’ll
have much more time to
get to know your home and
its systems and will have a
better indication of any potential problems. If you do
hire a home inspector, ask if
he or she is certified in conducting new construction
inspections.
Additional information,
including a PDI checklist
and helpful videos, is available at Tarion.com.

A Special Posting Supplement to Spotlight on Homes
What to do if your newly-built home is delayed
(NC) Did you know, that
approximately 50,000 new
homes and condominium
units are ready for possession every year across Ontario? That translates into
thousands of people realizing their dream every day,
although there are always
some who are ready to move
in but experience delays.
With so many stages involved in building a new
home, delays in construction
are not unusual – and while the
purchase agreement includes
specific dates for completion,
there is always flexibility that
allows those dates to change.
You do, however, have
some protection when it
comes to an occupancy delay. In fact, the new home
warranty in Ontario, which
is provided by your builder
and backed by Tarion, is very
comprehensive. The warranty
includes protection for deposits, delays, and three separate
construction warranties that
last up to seven years.
If you are a new home
buyer, here are some important things to know:
Delays may lead to
compensation
Under the delayed closing and delayed occupancy
warranty, your builder is
required to properly extend
the dates in your agreement
if a postponement is anticipated. If your builder misses
the critical dates outlined in
your agreement, you may be
entitled to compensation up
to $7,500.
Observe deadlines for
making claims
There are two windows
of opportunity when making
a delay compensation claim
to Tarion. First, if a purchaser terminates their contract
within the 30 days immediately following the outside
closing/occupancy date, a

claim must be made within
one year of termination. Second, only after you move
into a new home where occupancy has been delayed,
can you make a delayed occupancy claim within the
first year after you take possession of your new home.
Some exceptions apply
Caveats to the warranty
depend on whether the delay
was unavoidable and out of
the builder’s reasonable control. These include a strike,
fire, explosion, ‘act of God’,
civil insurrection, act of war
or terrorism, or a pandemic.
However, to rely on unavoid-
able delay claims and postpone occupancy timelines,
builders must follow specific rules outlined by Tarion.
These include when a builder
must inform the homeowner;
that the builder provide an estimate of how long the delay
will last, and that they give
written notice when the delay
has ended.
The warranty protection
on new homes is meant to
provide buyers with peace
of mind when making what
is most likely the largest
purchase of their lives. Keep
in mind that the warranty
is designed to ensure that
builders deliver on their
responsibilities and obligations and provide you with
a safe and well-constructed
home. If you’re experiencing this type of delay visit
Tarion.com for more information about the warranty.

Here are 12 Summer
Safety Tips for Seniors:
The summertime is a time
of fun and relaxation for most
people. But for seniors, the
heat and sun can be dangerous if the proper precautions
aren’t taken. Here are some
great tips that the elderly, as
well as their caregivers, can
use to make sure they have a
fun, safe summer.
1. Stay Hydrated: Seniors
are more susceptible to dehydration than younger people
because they lose their ability to conserve water as they
age. They also can become
less aware of their thirst and
have difficulty adjusting to
temperature changes. Remember to drink water often
and be sure to pack some for
those long summer drives.
2. Check with your medical
team to make sure any medications you are on won’t be
affected by higher temperatures—especially if you don’t
have air conditioning in your
home. Some medications are
less effective if stored at temperatures higher than room
temperature, and the last
thing anyone wants is for preventable medical condition
to become aggravated due to
high temperatures.
3. Keep your Cool: Even
small increases in temperature can shorten the life expectancy for seniors who are
coping with chronic medical
conditions. Shopping malls,
movie theatres and libraries
provide welcome, cool spaces
if a senior’s own home isn’t air
conditioned. They also afford
a great opportunity to get out
of the house and get some exercise, without the exhaustion
of the heat.
4. Stay in Touch: High
temperatures can be lifethreatening, so communication plays an important role
in ensuring the safety of the
elderly. For seniors, you
should let friends and family
know if you will be spending an extended period of
time outdoors, even if you
are only gardening.
5. Meet your neighbours:
Get in touch with those who
live in your neighbourhood
and learn a bit about then
and their schedules. If you
are elderly, see if a younger
neighbour—perhaps even
one of their kids—can come
by and check on you occasionally to make sure everything is all right. The extra
company and friendship
that can result is a bonus!
6. Know Who to Call:
Prepare a list of emergency
phone numbers and place
them in an easy to access
area. This way, the right
people can be called to help
quickly, preventing any further issues or preventing
medical problems from getting worse.
7. Wear the Right Stuff:
Everyone, including seniors,
should dress for the weather.
When it’s warm out, some
people find natural fabrics
(such as cotton) to be cooler
than synthetic fibres. Stock
your summer wardrobe with
light-coloured and loose-fitting clothes to help feel cooler
and more comfortable.
8. Protect Your Eyes: Vision loss can be common
among the elderly, and too
much exposure to the sun
can irritate eyes and cause
further damage. Wearing
sunglasses can protect your
eyes from harmful UV rays
and preserve your vision.
9. Know the Risks of Hyperthermia: Body temperature greater than 104 degrees,
a change in behavior, such as
acting confused, agitated or
grouchy. Dry, flushed skin,
nausea and vomiting, headache, heavy breathing or a
raped pulse, not sweating, even
if its hot outside, fainting.
10. Rub on sunscreen
and Wear Hats: Everyone,
young and old, should wear
sunscreen when outdoors.
Hats are also a great idea, especially for those with light
colored hair and those with
only distant memories of a
full head of hair.
11. Apply Bug Spray.
12. Exercise Smart: If you
enjoy outdoor activities such
as walking or gardening,
make sure to wear the proper
clothing and protective gear.
It is also important to keep
track of time. Do not stay out
for long periods and make
sure to drink even more water
than usual when exercising.
Also consider getting outdoor
exercise earlier in the morning
or later in the evening when
the sun is not at its peak.
