Covering Montréal & Surrounding Areas

oollowing the unprecedented protests that spread across the globe, the words of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement have been painted on the streets of a number of cities in the USA and in Toronto - with Montreal now joining the movement. On Tuesday July 14th, people from community groups, activists and artists took to the streets along Sainte-Catherine St. East, between St-Hubert and St-Andre - with paint

brushes, rollers, tape and spray paint cans in hand. They began by outlining the words 'Black Lives Matter' and 'La Vie des Noirs Compte' almost as wide as the streets and close to one block long, and then painters began filling it in with white paint. They will be painting it in several colors before it is completed on Wednesday. Their goal is to bring more to the awareness to the racial inequalities and prejudices towards Black

people. A report from October 2019, showed that Black people were stopped 4.2 times more often for street checks by police, Indigenous people 4.6 times (Indigenous women were stopped 11 times more often than white women) and Arabic people 2 times more often. It is time for changes to happen and Montreal needs to be part of this conversation.

Quebec announces masks to be mandatory in public spaces

t Monday’s press briefing, Quebec Premier Francois

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca Legault announced that as of this Saturday, wearing a face mask will be mandatory in all of the province's public indoor spaces. It includes stores, bars, restaurants, concerts, showrooms, drug stores, dentist and doctor offices - basically all indoor places open to the public. It comes after some people that were at several bars (recently reopened in Montreal and the South Shore) as well as at crowded parties, who did not respect the Covid safety protocols

- and subsequently tested positive with the virus. Their actions are now resulting in community spreading. All Quebecers will be required to wear masks, with exceptions for children under 12 years old and those with specific medical conditions such as cardiac or respiratory issues. The Premier arrived at the conference wearing a mask, proudly saying it was made by Quebec designers. "Four months ago we asked Quebecers to stay home and it worked well, except in the CHSLD's… here in North America we saved thousands of lives. But we are not going to change directives overnight," he said and later added, "The Covid-19 virus is really dangerous, let's be careful to wear a mask to stay safe… people talk about 'freedom' (to wear one or not), but freedom is about wearing a mask. Please, when

Please stay safe!

Quebec Premier wearing a face mask you go into the metro or a shop, wear a mask. When we are respectful, we don't transmit the virus to others… we hope more and more people come on board." Fines for not wearing one will start at $400 (after a first warning) and for each offense after that, it can increase up to $6000. At

first, shop owners will be held responsible for paying the fines, but as of August 1st individual fines will be issued to people who are found not wearing one. When asked how shop and businesses will be able to enforce the rule, especially when people give them a hard time, Legault said, "We will count on shop owners

that rules are respected, we need their collaboration… police can't cover all the stores, (but) they can call the police for help." "Your greatest control to decrease the virus is cooperation," Legault said, referring to the directives of two metres distancing and 10 people maximum at gather-

ings. "Do not have big parties with more than 10 people … we will not accept these gatherings." More and more evidence shows that wearing masks is effective in controlling the spread of the virus. Quebec, that was hardest hit, is the first province in Canada to make masks mandatory.

Le Windsor gives back to the community with free meal program or over 140 years, the Le Windsor has been the jewel in the crown that is the downtown core of Montreal. First as a prestigious hotel, where many well known celebrities and international political figures stayed when they visited Montreal, and then as a top notch banquet and reception venue.

By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca However, like many businesses of this nature, Le Windsor felt the sting of how the Corona Virus pandemic severely affected their operation since this past March. But instead of shutting things down, the people at Le Windsor decided to give back to the community in the face of this serious health crisis. And what was decided was to use the venue to become the nerve centre for a program that would cook, coordinate and distribute free meals to help Montreal's homeless population. “Once our Windsor team got comfortable with Zoom conferences, we began to brainstorm ideas on how we could start a charity initiative as we wait for events to pick back up again. It made sense to partner with Traiteur Bon Appetit, and prepare meals in our large empty kitchens, and assemble the food in the enormous ballrooms, enabling safety and social distancing measures for our staff and volunteers," said Isabelle Rochon, Director of Sales for Le Windsor Ballrooms. "We initially wanted to help the hospital frontline workers, but quickly realized other organizations were already taking care of them. So, we decided to help the homeless because Montreal’s food banks announced all over the media that they were afraid the pandemic would leave them underfunded and left out," she added. "When Dan Bensoussan (President of Le Windsor) contacted us to see if we were interested in giving back to the community in this time of need and without question we agreed," said John D'Ambrosio of Traiteur Bon Appetit. First of all, the people at Le Windsor approached potential donors such as Desjardins, Bentall Green Oak and • July 18, 2020

Volunteers and staff from le Windsor made over 8600 - More photos online mtltimes.ca the Windsor Ballrooms, to raise needed funds to get the project off the ground and as a result, successfully raised a total of $41,000. As well, Sizons Graphic Designs donated 8000 container labels, and a friend of Le Windsor generously donated a large amount of face masks. From there, Mr. D'Ambrosio and his Traiteur Bon Appetit team came in to

do they have a fever, etc." The type of meals that were prepared and distributed mainly consisted of pasta, barley and quinoa bases, with generous servings of vegetables, proteins and seasonings. The workspace respected all social distancing and sanitation requirements that were required by the government, with workstations set eight

plan and cook the meals that were to be distributed. "We came up with five types of healthy meals that we alternated through the five-week period," he said. "Our chefs came in early in the morning to prepare the meals. All of the had to fill out a Covid-19 questionnaire asking if they have been in contact with anybody who has Covid,

feet apart.The chefs had to wear face masks, gloves and hats, with breaks every hour so,that they could wash their hands regularly. Volunteers also followed proper hygiene standards by wearing gloves and masks as they mixed, assembled, packaged and delivered the meals by 10:30 a.m. to several temporary sites.

"Finding volunteers was equally easy. If the pandemic has brought anything positive, it is a sense of togetherness," said Ms. Rochon. "The lives of every person has been affected. Everyone has more free time and seems to be more sensitized to community life. It was invigorating to see friendly faces and share our recent struggles and adjustments after such a long time in confinement." From June 1 to July 3, the free meal program served a total of 8650 meals every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to the city's homeless people. And Ms. Rochon and Mr. D'Ambrosio agreed about how the values of coming together, giving back and feeding the lessons fortunate with healthy meals had such a positive effect and gave a sense of humility to everyone involved during such a time of unprecedented crisis. "The individuals experiencing homelessness told,organizers how much they appreciated receiving such a colourful and nutritious meal," she added. "Indeed, prior to this, so e of the organizations had mainly only been able to offer sandwiches to the community." If you would like to volunteer at a food bank and help prepare meals, Ms. Rochon recommends approaching Sac-A-Dos, the Old Brewery Mission, Accueil Bonneau and Resilience Montreal.

18th to stem the spread of coronavirus.The rule will apply to people age 12 and older, with exceptions for people with specific medical conditions yet to be determined. "We're not going to ask people to walk around with a medical certificate," said Quebec's director of public health Horacio Arruda, specifying that typically it would be people with severe cardiac or respiratory illnesses, adding that it's up to people's judgment. "It's not because you have a bit of asthma that you can't wear a mask." Medical exemptions for wearing a mask generally include respiratory problems, other medical conditions, mental health problems, disability, age, and pregnancy. Other factors, such as race and ethnicity, have a bearing on the discussion. Kate Mulligan, an assistant professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto who studies health policy and equity, has expressed concern about mandatory masks and enforcement. She said people with breathing difficulties, such as asthma, may have trouble with masks, and certain groups, such as Black and Indigenous men, may face discrimination when wearing a mask. "They may be perceived as a safety risk, and that could create a safety risk to themselves." This is coming at a time when there are at least two online petitions calling on the government to revoke its stance on mandatory masks. More than 56,000 Quebecers have signed a CHANGE.ORG petition calling on the Legault government to reverse its decision on mandatory masks. Berthierville resident Geneviève Sénécal, the petition sponsor, argues that the science of wearing masks isn't consistent in its conclusions. She cites several studies and says information provided by Premier Legault and public health director Dr. Horacio Arruda is often contradictory. In addition to calling for the order to be rescinded, Sénécal contends that forcing people

to wear a mask violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Mandatory masks aren’t in line with the Canadian government’s policy which emphasizes a balanced and voluntary approach. In late May, Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said non-medical masks or cloth face coverings are not for everyone. “Don’t judge people not wearing a mask. Some people have trouble breathing and should not be wearing masks,” said Dr. Tam. “We have to be understanding that for some, wearing a mask is not possible.” She said non-medical masks should not be used on children under the age of two, anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove it on their own. However, Quebec appears to be adopting a more restrictive approach to medical exemptions at a time when Dr. Tam has broadened Canada's public health advisory to include anyone finding it difficult to wear a mask in hot, humid weather. On June 19, Canada's top doctor tweeted this message: ”Non-medical masks or cloth face coverings can make breathing difficult in high heat & humidity. When outside in a #heatwave, 2m. #PhysicalDistancing is best. Save the mask for indoors when you can’t keep your distance.” The Legault government's decision to make it compulsory to wear a mask in indoor public settings runs afoul of civil liberties. Cara Faith Zwibel, a lawyer and Director of the Fundamental Freedoms Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association says that over-zealous regulation could have negative impacts on vulnerable individuals. “Wearing a mask is not medically recommended for some people and may be counter-productive for others, for example, young children who may be more likely to touch their faces if they are wearing a mask.” Zwibel has also expressed concern about people with disabilities, such as hearing impairments, who need to see people's faces to read their lips or people on the autism spectrum who may have trouwww.mtltimes.ca

ble with masks. ON June 26th, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association issued a statement on mandatory masks, cautioning public authorities from going “overboard” on mask regulation. “At this point, the CCLA does not support generalized mandatory mask policies that require the wearing of nonmedical masks in all indoor public settings.” The CCLA says that governments have to justify restrictions on liberty, such as forcing people to wear masks, as being both reasonable and, based on evidence. “The scientific evidence on the effectiveness of non-medical masks is mixed.This is nothing like mandating seat belts in the 1970s. A legal requirement that masks be worn in all indoor public spaces is an attempt at massive, and perhaps permanent, behaviour modification for the entire population. A legal change of this magnitude must be based on stronger evidence than we currently have.” Quebec is leaving it up to merchants to enforce the rule in their establishments and those who don’t could face fines ranging from $400 to $6,000. The decision has drawn criticism from business owners who are tasked with applying mask rules. Rather than providing comprehensive regulation, Legault has directed businesses to call the police if their customers refuse to comply with wearing a mask. Business groups have questioned that rationale, asking why the burden falls to them. “We’re not equipped for that,” said Marc Fortin, president of the Quebec branch of the Retail Council of Canada (RCC). In some areas of the country where masks have become mandatory, retail workers have faced physical threats and been spit on for trying to enforce mask rules. While mandatory mask requirements (including store policies) can create exceptions for people, meaningful enforcement may require invasive questioning to see who can benefit from such exceptions, creating concerns about privacy rights and the sharing of confidential medical information.The CCLA states, "The

task of enforcement will likely land on businesses and individuals who may be ill-equipped for the task (e.g. requiring a greeter at a grocery store to question customers about their health and determine who should be permitted entry without a mask) and may put both those responsible for enforcement and those subject to it at increased risk." Masks have been mandatory on public transit in Quebec since July 13th. However, bus drivers do not have to wear a mask, a blatantly discriminatory application of the regulation which makes for a very fraught situation. In addition to demonstrations and boycotts, there has been violence in jurisdictions that have brought in mandatory masks. In France, a bus driver who asked riders to wear a mask was taken off the bus and beaten to death by a group of youths. In the US, a security guard was shot and killed by a man when an altercation occurred over wearing a mask. People with mental health problems and intellectual challenges who aren't able to articulate their needs run the risk of being harassed and bullied by other passengers if they aren't wearing a mask. "As with the enforcement of many rules and laws, we are concerned about who will be most impacted and whether racialized and marginalized communities will be disproportionately affected," Zwibel says. The CCLA is inviting the public to consult its report released in June 2020, Stay Off the Grass: CCLA and Policing the Pandemic Mapping Project on Ticketing During COVID. Legault says that mandatory masks are better than lockdown and until a vaccine is developed this is it. A recent Quebec public service announcement aimed at building support for mandatory masks presents the issue in similarly binary terms: wear a mask in public indoor spaces or be home alone and lonely. Not quite. People can enjoy relationships with their family and friends at home and backyard barbeques. They can chat with their neighbors at a safe distance from their balconies and over the fence.There is such a thing as the telephone and people are communicating virtually more than ever before. They can work from home, opt-out of public transportation - drive, carpool, cycle, or walk to work. Many people have discovered that they actually prefer shopping online to navigating crowded malls and big-box stores.There is no law that says Quebecers have to vacation or take in cultural activities in Quebec and they can always escape to other places without onerous mask regulation.

he pandemic deprived Montrealers of enjoying the Grand Prix du Canada at the Gilles Villeneuve racetrack, this past June. However, when the fans return to the venue, hopefully, this fall, they will also be surprised by the beauty of the new installations whose renovation was finished this year. So impressive is the original structure from an esthetic point of view that it was awarded the Prix d'Excellence 2020 by the Ordre des architects du Québec (OAQ).The Espace Paddock, as it is called, was designed by Les architectes FABG. The project, on the site of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve racetrack in Montreal's Parc JeanDrapeau, also received the Ordre's mention for Innovation. The jury was chaired by French architect Dominique Jakob (Agence Jakob+MacFarlane) and comprised actress Anne-Marie Cadieux as well as architects Dominique St-Gelais (St-Gelais Montminy & Associés architectes) and Jean-Maxime Labrecque. The Ordre's site describes the new facilities in these terms: "As part of a renewal agreement for the Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the City of Montreal had to replace the existing temporary structures with a permanent building that meets the needs of the event.The new paddock includes garages for the teams, offices for the International

Automobile Federation (FIA) and the promoter, a lounge area for 5,000 people and a multimedia centre for journalists and broadcasters." There are some other exciting features of this unique structure, "Unlike other international Grand Prix events, the lounging areas have no outside walls and no air conditioning. The finishes are bare, solar panels provide electricity for lighting, and the building tries to make responsible use of public money. The roof structure will distinguish the Canadian edition and give it an identity based www.mtltimes.ca

is still important as ever. Some common issues including animal nesting, soot build up, deteriorating brickwork & water damage can all be fixed by a chimney sweep. We spoke to Valerie Adams of Montreal Chimneys, the only female chimney specialist in the region, about the fate of her profession: "Wherever you live, chimney maintenance is still necessary to keep your home safe. Small repairs can make a big difference before damage gets worse and more expensive." Says Valerie, who has over 15 years of experience, she goes on to explain, "If you are not going to use your fireplace we can seal the chimney flue with insulation and a metal crown to prevent cold drafts, and water infiltration. It will help to save on heating bills. Later, if you choose to upgrade we can easily re-open the crown and install a wood burning appliance that conforms to the new regulation. It is important to get a professional to check the condition of your chimney yearly. Go outside and look up at your chimney. If you see bricks crumbling you should get that repaired before winter. A chimney crown and cap are also very important." Valerie is a popular chimney sweep servicing the island of Montreal and surrounding

Investing in your health By Joanna Wright Montreal Times

oon after my father’s death, my family began the arduous task of sorting through his financial affairs. While doing so, we discovered that he had left us with a generous amount of money through his life insurance plan. Through my grief, something kept making me shake my head, as I rolled those two little words around in my brain. Life insurance? How ironic. He was dead. There was no insurance of “life” for my father in this long term investment. The only thing that was certain is that he wouldn’t be the one reaping the benefits. Then a strange emotion began to emerge. Regret. Why hadn’t he invested in his health with this money while he was still alive? Perhaps we could have enjoyed a few more good years to share together? Did he really think I’d rather have this money than have him here beside me? I recount this story often to groups of seniors who fail to see the importance of investing

in their health. Whether it be a personal fitness trainer, a recumbent exercise bike or a gym membership, I explain to them that, in the end, we will all pay for our health in one way or another. But being proactive and staying healthy is much cheaper in the long run and much more fun. Consider the statistics. As a senior, if you are no longer able to live independently, the average cost of an assisted care living facility is approximately $1800 to $5000 a month. Most seniors who find themselves in this predicament can no longer perform the basic tasks of taking care of themselves due to weak muscles, low energy endurance, arthritic bones, or balance issues. In contrast, a good treadmill might set you back $1000. A qualified trainer $65 an hour. A gym membership $100 a month. There is no comparison. As a trainer who specializes in working with seniors, I have perfected the fine art of targeting the exact exercise movements that will give my clients the

tools to stay afloat. I once trained a 90 year old woman in her own condo until she ultimately had to accept the fact that she needed more care. She lamented to me, “I guess I failed.”. On the contrary. She had worked hard to give herself 4 more years of living HER way. Sleeping when she wanted, eating what she wanted, DOING what she wanted. I call that a success. Looking back, I wish my father had invested not for us...but for him. I miss him. He crossed his fingers and hoped for good health while diligently planning financially for his demise. I can’t help my dad anymore. But my passion and my goal as an older adult fitness trainer is to motivate, educate and guide other seniors to invest in their health today, so that their families are able to love them for as long as possible!
