Une trentaine de plaques historiques seront bientôt affichées dans plusieurs secteurs de Cornwall, soit sur le bord du fleuve St-Laurent, dans le secteur du Village et le long de la rue Pitt. C’est ce qu’ont appris une vingtaine de francophones, lors du dernier Dîner Franco-échanges, qui a eu lieu le 13 mai dernier au restaurant Jack Lee’s. En effet, le docteur en optométrie et instigateur du projet, Michel Dubuc, ainsi que l’artiste Pierre Giroux ont tous deux fait une courte présentation. Le projet consiste en plusieurs peintures ayant pour thème des endroits historiques de Cornwall, dont le canal, l’ancien orphelinat et les usines
de fabrication de coton. « Les plaques seront toutes imprimées sur du métal et seront donc permanentes, a expliqué M. Giroux. » Pour sa part, le Dr Dubuc a souligné que les plaques devraient avoir une durée de vie de 20 à 30 ans. «Si elles se brisent, nous pourrons facilement les remplacer, puisqu’elles ne sont pas trop chères. » Le projet, subventionné par l’Association du Village, la ville de Cornwall, la Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA) ainsi que par l’octroi d’une subvention gouvernementale, devrait voir le jour d’ici juin. Ci- dessus, on voit Pierre Giroux qui tient l’une de ses œuvres qui sera bientôt affiché dans la ville. — photo Francis Racine

Glengarry Pioneer Museum set to open doors for season The Glengarry Pioneer Museum will open its doors for the season on the Victoria Day weekend and will feature a guest presentation by Alan Jones, of Montreal, who has an extensive collection of over 300 bagpipes. The presentation, hosted on May 22 at 1:00 p.m., will be followed by an old-fashioned Victorian Tea. “The bagpipe, above all other instruments, can be said to be the only instrument to which no one fails to react; be it those who might cover their ears, those who would recite a joke, or those who will open their hearts, defend its virtues, and follow the pipes to the ends of the earth,” explained Allan Walker, organizer of the event and avid piper. – Francis Racine

The City of Cornwall is launching a new program to showcase local artists by displaying pieces of their work in City Hall. The Art of the City initiative will see original local art displayed in hallways and offices at City Hall on a rotating basis. The program grew out of an initial discussion about decorating the mayor’s office with pieces of local art. “Artists will benefit by gaining some exposure while the City benefits from having its building enhanced with beautiful displays of art,” said mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. “It is also a way for the City to show support for the arts and culture sector, here in Cornwall.” The first piece of art to be showcased at City Hall comes courtesy of Kathleen Morin. Her painting, Walk with me , is on display next to the Committee Room on the second floor of City Hall. Morin was eager to participate in the program. “I’m extremely pleased with the City’s effort in providing space for local artists to exhibit their work,” said Morin. “It’s a great way to celebrate the vibrant arts scene that exists in Cornwall and SDG.” — supplied photo

in Memorial Park on May 10. Surrounding the Friendship Tulip Garden, they recounted themany exploits and sacrifices undertaken bymembers of the 1 st Battalion of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and area during the liberation of the Netherlands. The Cornwall and District Horticultural Society has, for many years, purchased tulip bulbs for planting inMemorial Park and will continue to do so annually as their effort to
honour all veterans. In the spring of 1946, 100,000 tulips bloomed in Ottawa. Planted in the previous fall, the Dutch tulip bulbs were sent to Canadians as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands, and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch Royal Family during their stay in Ottawa during the Second World War. Canada
continues to receive 20,000 Dutch tulips every fall. Although no Netherland liberation veterans were present during the ceremony, Bill Shearing, himself a veteran, decided to explain the topic further to the many schoolchildren assembled. As they quietly and patiently sat in the grass, Shearing detailed just what the Glens went through and what kind of treatment any Canadian

defences along the estuary. Aside from the use of boats, the movement of men, tanks and other equipment was often restricted to narrow roadways along the top of dykes, under frequent German fire. The First CanadianArmy lost nearly 13,000 men, killed, wounded or missing during the Scheldt fighting, includingmore than 6,300 Canadians. However, by early November, the large islands had been secured.The river was then cleared of mines, and by the end of the month, the first convoy of Allied cargo ships entered the port of Antwerp. In February 1945, the Allied advance in northwest Europe resumed, with a huge offensive to drive the enemy across the Rhine River. It fell to the First Canadian Army to clear the area between theMaas and Rhine Rivers, pushing German forces eastward over the Rhine. In March, the First Canadian Army was reinforced by various Allied units, including the 1 st Canadian Corps, and transferred north from the battlegrounds of Italy. For the first time in history, two Canadian army corps were fighting together. And with an international strength now of more than 450,000 men, the First Canadians became the largest army ever commanded by a Canadian officer. Later that month, as other Allied armies crossed the Rhine into Germany, the First Canadian Army began rooting out German forces in the remainder of the Netherlands. The Canadians faced stiff fighting in places, andwere also hampered by the broken roads, bridges and other infrastructure destroyed by the fleeing Germans, who blew up some of the dykes in the western Netherlands, flooding parts of the countryside. More than 7,600 Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen died fighting in the Netherlands.They are buried today in official war cemeteries across the country. The largest, Groesbeek CanadianWar Cemetery, near the city of Nijmegen, holds the graves of more than 2,300 Canadians.

On every Christmas Eve, they put a candle in front of every grave. This is what it looks like.” The man retrieves a coloured picture from a folder and shows it to the attentive schoolchildren.The picture is one of sorrow but is also magical.

A courageous but gruesome part of Canada’s history British and American troops first entered the southernNetherlands threemonths after the D-Day landings in Normandy. In mid- September, the Allies launched Operation Market Garden, a massive airborne assault on the Dutch town of Arnhem, hoping this would allow them a quick route into Germany, via a crossing of the Rhine River at Arnhem.The Arnhemattack failed, slowing the Allied advance and keepingmost of the Netherlands under German control. As the Allies sought another way into Germany, they needed a large harbour through which to ship supplies to their advancing armies. The Belgian city of Antwerp, one of Europe’s biggest ports, had already been liberated, but the long Scheldt River, which connected Antwerp to the sea, was still held by the Germans. The task of clearing the river of enemy forces was assigned to the First Canadian Army. The First Canadian Army was Canada’s principal fighting arm in northwest Europe during the war. A powerful strike force under the command of Canadian General Harry Crerar, it included the 2 nd Canadian Corps, as well as large contingents of British, Polish, American andDutch infantry and armoured troops. Since the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944, the Army had formed the left flank of the Allied advance towards Germany — with the First Canadians liberating ports and cities along the Channel Coast of France and Belgium.

Blais hopes to travel the world
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
The past five and a half years have certainly been an adventure for Alyssa Blais. But it’s now time for a new chapter in her life. “I set out to do something at Agapè and I accomplished my goals,” said Blais. “I feel like my time has come to an end and I’m leaving it in great hands.” The 44-year-old oversaw an important shift within the non-profit organization, earning the Agapè Centre formal recognition as a Good Food Organization. The woman also planted a fruit forest, introduced a kid’s cooking programcalled Curious Chefs, and brought two new fundraising events to the organization: Coldest Night of the Year and Canstruction Cornwall. Outside the office, Blais ran for city council in 2014. She’s a graduate from St. Francis Xavier University and the Canadian Women’s Foundation (CWF) Leadership Institute in 2015. But the accomplishment she’s most proud of is the successful building campaign she and her teamcarried out last year, renovating the 27, 000 square foot building into a safer, more accessible space. “Working with Bourgon Construction and seeing the progress of a crumbling building turning into a place where people can come and feel comfortable was something special,” she explained. “There’s a sense of peace that wasn’t here before. We dusted off this building and made it into a beautiful and safe place. It’s our home and people are happier here now. » An avid scuba diver, Blais likened the process to finding treasures, out in the St. Lawrence River. “When you find a cannon ball in the water, it’s full of crust, it’s gross and grey. But when you polish it, it’s beautiful and shiny and something you’re proud to share with others,” she said. “It was a huge learning experience.” After owning and operating an organic farm, and then working at the city for four years, the opportunity to be director of an organization that feeds people called to Blais in 2010. “I have a very deep connection with food, and I believe everybody should eat well,” she expressed. “I thought it would be life changing, and it was.” Blais describes being the leader of the local food bank, community kitchen and thrift store, as one of the hardest but also one of the most enriching experiences of her life. “It really opened my eyes to a lot

of different things that I never would have seen – even just the issue of poverty alone,” she said. “I’ve never experienced it in the way that some people have, and you don’t realize it until you’re in it.” The executive director says she’s happy with what she’s done during the past five and a half years, but it’s time for new leadership. “We’ve built a good team here. I feel good about leaving it now.’’ Knowing Blais’ love of all things outdoors, Johanne Gauthier, operations manager for the non-profit, commented on the departure using a campingmetaphor. “You always try to leave a campsite in better condition than when you first come upon it,” said Gauthier.
“I think Alyssa can leave in peace knowing that she has left the Agapè Centre a much stronger organization than when she was first hired.” Jim Healey, chair of the Agapè Centre board, expressed his sadness at the loss of Blais’ leadership as executive director, but understands her desire to spread her wings and explore the world. “Alyssa has provided stability and direction to the running of the Agapè Centre that will be missed,” Healey said. “The Board wishes Alyssa a well- deserved rest and great success in all of her future endeavors.” What’s next for the adventurous woman?

to a year, and travel to Newfoundland, Nepal, Thailand, and beyond. “I want to trek and do some serious hiking,” she said. “I want to experience different cultures and see how others live and enjoy life. I want to visit Dr. Shiva’s organic farm in India. This is the first time in my life where I can really experience the world in a different way, and I would like to do it before it’s too late.” The executive director’s last day will be May 26, and the Agapè Centre board members will announce recruitment plans soon.

The Cornwall Seaway Lions held a cheque presentation last week announcing they are getting behind Cornwall’s own sharp-shooter, Mary Patrick, to help her achieve her dream of participating in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Mary has been training intensely since the age of 12 and is a high-performance athlete in the sport of marksmanship. She has competed in a number of target shooting disciplines with major successes in each - air rifle, fullbore (large caliber), smallbore match and smallbore sporting rifle (both small calibers). She has competed as a member of the Canadian National Cadet Rifle Team in Bisley, England, for fullbore, as well as an individual in the US Camp Perry Open Matches, in air rifle. Despite the many hours of training and all the other activities outside of school, she manages to keep herself on the honour roll. «Mary Patrick has a goal in life and she is working hard to achieve it,” remarked Lion Shirley Ravary, president of the club. “Lions also like to support our youth and help them grow to their full potential. She has that energy and commitment to achieve whatever she sets her mind to, now and also in the future. The youth of today are the future adults of tomorrow and we want to support them. They are well worth investing in.” Pictured are Tim Beach, Marcel Ravary, Tammy Beach, John Lucio, Julia Lucio, Mary Patrick and Shirley Ravary. —supplied photo

St. Lawrence River Institute to work with National Wildlife Areas
For the next two years, the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences will be working in National Wildlife Areas across Canada, to implement geocaching and educational activities intended to connect Canadians to nature. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) awarded this contract with the specific goal of “connecting Canadians to nature”. The project will utilize geocaching to educate and inform the public about the efforts made to protect and conserve Canada’s ecological heritage via the Canadian Wildlife Service’s network of protected areas. Geocaching routes will encourage visitors to explore the National Wildlife Areas and learn about ecology, wildlife, and other unique features of each region. The project will involve eight National Wildlife Areas in Canada, including:Alaksen and Vaseux-Bighorn in British Columbia, Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan, Big Creek and Prince Edward Point in Ontario, Cape Jourimain and Shepody in New Brunswick, and Chignecto in Nova Scotia. Dr. Jeff Ridal, executive director at the River Institute, is pleased with the scope of this project. “This work with ECCC takes the River Institute nation-wide,” he stated, “We look forward to visiting the amazing National Wildlife Areas across Canada and sharing messages about conservation and species protection along the way.” The River Institute’s expertise in ecology, environmental education, and GIS mapping will ensure that the geocaching routes and activities are educational and fun for everyone.

Le programme Justice sociale (services à but non lucratif) de La Citadelle permet aux élèves de se construire un bagage de connaissances et de compétences au secteur avant de commencer leur formation en apprentissage, au collège, à l’université ou sur le marché du travail. Ce programme de deux ans, offert aux élèves de la 11 e et de la 12 e année, est possible grâce à l’initiative provinciale des Majeures Haute Spécialisation. Suite à un processus de demande auprès du ministère de l’Éducation, l’équipe des MHS de l’école a pu débuter son programme depuis septembre 2015. Il y a présentement une dizaine d’élèves inscrits au programme. « L’ÉSC La Citadelle est toujours à l’affût des besoins des élèves, et nous sommes fiers encore une fois d’offrir un programme unique dans l’Est ontarien qui réponde aux besoins des élèves et de la communauté », a expliqué Madame Julie Charland, directrice de La Citadelle.
