a sort of flurry that sometimes feels like an undertow, where even if you're on the outskirts, or nowhere near involved in any school-type business, the current is there, fresh with the energy of youth moving, a kind of social inertia.The dust is about to clear.The home stretch of final high school exams is this week.The crush for young folks involved in the current traditional school system can sort of see the light.They might only sort of see it, and they might only glimpse it when they're suddenly walking across a stage to accept a diploma, or when everyone is arriving at prom.and some might only really witness it when the word finally arrives regarding their final marks.But there is light.Almost as soon as the last streamers are pulled down, some folks head off to summer camp.It's dizzying - cap- gown-tuxedo-gown-streamers down- packing for camp.A strange, too-fast rhythm, you can't really catch your breath.Other units, with a different timetable, get a week or two to slow the pace, to shed the schedule and likely to stay up too late and eat their parents out of house and home.Either way, there is a list, and there are extra socks on that list.So pack them.Sunscreen, clothing, bedding, a hat, footwear, the list is usually very similar, likely close to what their parents' camp kit list was.So the frenzied pace is a thing that rumbles around, and then they arrive.There are familiar faces, with new features since a year makes a difference.There are wide spaces.There are shared living arrangements.There is a new kind of schedule.New lessons.And there is fresh air.One life falls away, the life with all of the home stuff, whatever that may be.Healthy, busy, messy, neat, challenging in its own respects no matter what, all of those elements mostly melt.Fade.There are new sounds - birds, bugs, occasional outdoor noises.There is usually water.There is sun.It's a bit of elemental therapy.For those who have been attending for some time, it's the revisiting, and re-bonding of another family.For those who have never attended, it's adjusting to that dynamic - feeling on the outside, feeling hesitant as to whether or not you have a place there, and perhaps even questioning at first whether you want one.Witnessing this reunion without being a part of it yet can feel awkward and strange.As a rule, in the falling away of certain boundaries, newbies find their place, and are acknowledged for who they are and what they bring.Sometimes this doesn't gel and there is homesickness.Sometimes it takes a second time attending to handle the experience of finding your place in a community you haven't belonged to before.and occasionally the parents who are concerned about rather their socially uncertain young folk are surprised to not receive a phone call for retrieval, and arrive on the last day of camp to pick up a brand new person.That is because at camp, if things go the way they should, then something can fall away.A new part of something can grow.Occasionally that growth is so significant that the person is never quite the same again (in a good way).The fuel of a great camp experience can drive a person along through the many hurdles of a less-than-happy regular year.The anticipation of the community that is built, the person they are there, and a rather basic, rich way of being separate from the frenzy.Also the anticipation for attendees of one day participating as a counselor, the immortals of childhood camp memories.So this year, wishing great times to all, lovely weather, beautiful campfires, abundant sharing, few bumps and scrapes, healthy transitions, resilience in new leadership, openness to new ideas, community building that is fun and simple, laughter, sunny days and starry nights.A special nod to the United Spirit Camp, setting up life together for a week starting this weekend, and to my youngest son, who will attend for a seventh time, and his first at senior camp.Enjoy this time away from home to fill up on the great energy of your youth community, and come home with stories to match the amount of laundry.Be good and have fun!

at risk.\u201d LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Bills 9 and 21 CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 rights and freedoms.\u201d He added, suggesting that contrary to what has been said by the Government, the new law will just reignite feelings of xenophobia in the community and further divide people from one another.In April the Townshippers\u2019 Association came out against Bill 21, but in the wake of the bill\u2019s passing association president Gerald Cutting said that the groups concerns fell on deaf ears.\u201cWhat we came to realize was that with a majority, the CAQ was going to adopt their bill no matter what,\u201d Cutting said, explaining that he and Executive Director Rachel Hunting went to visit each of the MNAs that have been elected in the historical Eastern Townships to discuss the issue and found the answer to be the same no matter where they turned.Looking to the way the decision was made over the weekend, Cutting said the vote sends a very disturbing message to minority communities.\u201cThe use of the notwithstanding clause shows that the government recognizes this goes against the principles of free and democratic government,\u201d the association president said.\u201cOne of the deputies even said to me the reason why the notwithstanding clause was put into the bill was to make sure there would be a minimum of time devoted to contestation and they wanted to get this through because it is what the population of Quebec really wanted.\u201d That kind of populist decision-mak- ing, he argued, is bad news for minority communities.\u201cThis is not really leadership,\u201d Cutting said.\u201cThe government that cannot support and protect its minorities puts everyone at risk.\u201d More than just being troubled by how the bill limits rights and freedoms, the Townshippers\u2019 President warned that the new law foreshadows how the CAQ government will continue to operate.\u201cWe really don\u2019t like this bill at all and we really don\u2019t like that it had to be ram-rodded through using closure,\u201d He said, calling the move a \u201csharp right turn\u201d for the province.\u201cMr.Legault has said, \u2018we intend to change Quebec,\u2019 but is it going to be for the worse, or for the better?\u201d On Friday, before the votes on bills 9 and 21, a statement signed by 21 faculty members of Bishop\u2019s University\u2019s School of Education was uploaded to the Bishop\u2019s website.In it, the signatories shared their concerns about the implications of the then-bill on their chosen field.\u201c(Bill 21) targets our colleagues and peers on the basis of religious affiliation and practice, and impacts every citizen in Quebec by normalizing state sanctioned discrimination against specific, identifiable groups of people,\u201d the statement reads.\u201cIt is a dangerous precedent that creates a climate of suspicion, fear, and hostility that serves to render the profession of teaching unsafe, and schools less safe, for everyone.\u201d The statement also highlights the important role teachers play in analyzing and challenging all forms of individual, systemic, and institutional discrimination, and argues that the bill is \u201cin direct contradiction to our mandate as defined by the Ministry of Education and QEP in addition to our commitments under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and other academic and professional bodies.\u201d \u201cThis has been something the faculty and students have been discussing since the bill was introduced, said Dr.Corinne Haigh, the Dean of the School of Education and one of the signatories of the statement.Haigh said that the statement was crafted over some time and might now be revised in light of the fact that the bill has been adopted.She underlined the fact that the statement is specifically the position of its signatories and not of the university or even of the entire School of Education.New adapted buildings for those living with physical and intellectual disabilities Record Staff The Han-Logement organization inaugurated new apartment buildings suitable for citizens with physical or intellectual disabilities yesterday.Representing an investment of nearly $2 M, the two buildings situated on Lavigerie boulevard house a total of 12 apartments which are completely adapted.Founded in 2002, Han-Logement is an organization that aims to develop apartments completely adapted to the needs of people living with physical and/or intellectual disabilities, whose generally low incomes often make it difficult to find adequate accommodations.The organization has built 15 different buildings that total up to 97 apartments spread out through Sherbrooke and Magog.All tenants will benefit from the Société d\u2019habitation du Québec (SHQ)\u2019s Supplément au loyer program.The program ensures that their rent only costs 25 per cent of their income.The remainder of the amount is 90 per cent defrayed the SHQ and 10 per cent by the City of Sherbrooke.Although the buildings were inaugurated on Monday, tenants were able to move into their new homes in the fall of 2018.\u201cThese buildings are named after Michel Lapierre, our greatest donor to this day.This is his fifth sponsorship since 2010.These 12 new apartments make for a total of 48 new homes that Mr.Lapierre supported.Most importantly, these are 48 lives that he has changed and embellished for these people and their families.It makes an incredible difference,\u201d stated Paul Champagne, director general in a press release.\u201cSince the first contact I had with Han-Logement in 2010, I was immediately touched by this mission, and it was an amazing opportunity for me to give back in a concrete and durable way to an environment that has given me so much.I also wanted to give back some light in the lives of people\u2019s whose needs are significant,\u201d added Lapierre.The partnership between Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Han-Lo- gement began in 2017 and aims for the construction of 100 single-story units over the next five years.\u201cSince the launch of this collaboration, we have built 24 units in Magog and in Sherbrooke, and 27 more are on the way of being constructed.To this day, we have invested over $1.4 M.This partnership allows us to pursue our mission of building socially responsible spaces that also create high-quality employment opportunities,\u201d concluded Pierre Benoit, the FTQ investment director.was asked by Obama\u2019s office to recommend a young man who might be willing to say a few words in the lead up to Michelle Obama taking the stage.She decided to ask her grandnephew Joshua.\u201cI\u2019ve been sending him books his whole life,\u201d she said.Here\u2019s how the phone chain continued.Fortin contacted Joshua\u2019s mother Carol Matheson, who immediately tracked down Josh.His response: \u201cOh my gosh no way, I can\u2019t get in front of that many people.\u201d Disappointed, Matheson respected her son\u2019s decision.Little did she know, Fortin\u2019s sister Sylvia (Joshua\u2019s grandmother) had caught wind of the opportunity and launched a subtle texting campaign to point out the \u2018once in a lifetimeness\u2019 of such an opportunity.Joshua eventually agreed to do it.While an occasion like that would normally entail the emotional support of the rest of the family, Josh\u2019s parents and sister were already double booked.His sister was participating in a singing competition at Bandeen Hall that same afternoon (she won a silver medal, congratulations).Joshua was accompanied to the event with his grandmother, great aunt and the staff from MINIBIBLIOplus to cheer him on.\u201cBefore the show we were totally full of adrenaline,\u201d Fortin said, \u201cbut he was really calm.\u201d Producers from the show brought Joshua back stage.They explained the order of events and gave him an opportunity to practice what he would say and get ready.Fortin and her group were seated in a special row for the show.After Joshua and the others addressed the crowd, they headed back stage, and then Josh was brought out a few minutes later to join his great aunt and hear Michelle Obama speak.According to Matheson, Joshua was excited, and ultimately glad that he did it.He added that once he was on stage, wasn\u2019t able to see the crowd at all, so that made the experience less intimidating.Because the theme for the evening was based on Michelle Obama\u2019s book Becoming, each of the invited guests was asked to share what they are becoming.This is what Joshua Picard said: \u201cBonjour, Je m\u2019appelle Joshua Picard.I was born in Sherbrooke and raised in a small town called Waterville.I\u2019m a junior in high school who is not afraid to dream big for my future, and I am becoming a professional golfer.\u201d According to his mom, Josh has his dream job working at the local golf club for the summer, and he tries to hit the links every weekend.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Opening for Michelle Obama Page 4 T uesday , June 18, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Caroline-Bown Community Garden (1800-1885) : In memory of a special mother from Orford Township By Jean-Marie Dubois (Université de Sherbrooke) and Gérard Coté (Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society) Caroline-Bown Community Garden was opened in 2012 on the South West side of Bois-Beckett Park in Sherbrooke and named after the original owner of the land.The landscape of the garden was done by the City of Sherbrooke and includes raised garden beds for the physically handicapped, a service building and a children\u2019s play area.The garden has two aims: to be a means of breaking down isolation among citizens to foster socialization by creating a place to meet and chat together and to encourage food self-sufficiency.The garden is administered by a committee of six member gardeners.Caroline Bown was born in 1800 in Upham, Hampshire, England.In 1819, in the Quebec City Holy Trinity Anglican Church, she married Henry Beckett, a bricklayer also born at Upham in 1799 who immigrated to Lower Canada in 1815.The couple had 11 children: Walter William (1820-1906), Ann (1822 or 1823- 1905), Jane Louisa (1826-1892), Henry Robert (1829-1896) who left Sherbrooke in 1885 for British Columbia, Caroline (1831-1860), Adaline (1833-1917), Elizabeth (1836-1923), Rosanna Elizabeth (1838-1922), Charles Goodhue (1841-1891) who went on to live in Arizona, Frederick James (1844-1922) and Mary Amelia (1847-1921).Around 1819, the Becketts settled in a pionier cabin on the path of the old Belvidere Road along the Magog River.Around 1824, they settled in a new home at the corner of Melbourne Street (named Prospect since 1952) and of the, at that time, Queen-Victoria Boulevard, on the location of the present Saint- Joseph long term residential centre.From 1824 to the 1860s, Henry even operated a clay quarry on the North East corner of this intersection.His brickyard, the first of its kind in Sherbrooke, stood near his home.In 1834, Caroline and Henry also bought a 100 acre lot, where Bois-Beckett Park is now located.In 1850, they added another 100 acres.Cows, beef cattle, calves, sheep and pigs were raised for dairy products as well as for meat and wool.Hay, wheat, oats, potatoes and turnips were also grown.There was a sugar bush for maple syrup and sugar.As with all other housewives of the time, Caroline had to tend to the garden and the flower beds.After Henry\u2019s death in 1870, Caroline passed on the farm in 1875 to her son Frederick James.He built a home at the end of a row of willows and so named it The Willows.The house replaced his father\u2019s older one, named The Maple.When Frederick James died in 1922, Elizabeth Jemina Bonnallie (1847-1926), whom he had married in 1866, became the owner of the farm.The farm was passed on in 1926 to one of Elizabeth Jemina\u2019s sons, Frank George (1871-1954).After his death, the farm was bequeathed to his sister, Cecilia Julia (1877-1974).She sold it to the City of Sherbrooke on July 23, 1963, but stayed on in her home until 1968.The crops likely disappeared following Frederick James\u2019 death since as soon as 1956, the fields were overgrown.The buildings were torn down between 1963 and 1966; Frederick James\u2019 home, in 1968.In response to public pressure, the City of Sherbrooke converted the farm into a park.As for Caroline, she died on September 12, 1885, likely in her home on Melbourne Street (Prospect).She was buried in the Anglican St.Peter\u2019s Cemetery with her husband and six of her children.Jane Louisa inherited the family home on Melbourne Street and, when she died, left it to Rosanna Elizabeth who lived there until her death in 1922.In 1974, the Beckett farm became a 70 acre ecological park.Since 1984, a citizens committee, the Regroupement du bois Beckett, continues the efforts carried on since 1970 by Sherbrookers to promote the park and to offer nature interpretation programs.Beckett\u2019s Family house (Regroupement du bois Beckett Fonds, Sherbrooke Historical Society) A big day for small entrepreneurs 2019

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday , June 18, 2019 Page 5 Lac-Mégantic inaugurates Le Concerto as part of post-tragedy revitalization By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Nearly six years after the Lac-Mé- gantic tragedy, the City of Lac-Mé- gantic inaugurated Le Concerto, a three-story, mixed-use building in the town\u2019s centre on June 14.Le Concerto was one of the City\u2019s biggest projects towards revitalizing the downtown area, requiring investments of $4 M and the hard work of a steering committee, composed of representatives from the CHIC du Granit, the CIUSSS-CHUS de l\u2019Estrie (Installation CSSS du Granit), the CDC du Granit, Constellation du Granit, CPE sous les Étoiles and Entraide Habitat Es- trie.On July 6, 2013, a freight train derailed in downtown Lac-Mégantic, which caused a fire and multiple tank cars explosions.A reported 47 citizens were killed, and over 30 buildings in the downtown area were destroyed in the blaze.All but three of the 39 remaining buildings had to be demolished due to petroleum contamination.Located next to the historic train station, Le Concerto is the beginning of an inspiring revitalization effort that started in 2017.\u201cLe Concerto is more than a simple building.It represents our community\u2019s desire to have access to a dynamic living environment that will allow us to create lasting ties between generations,\u201d stated Monique Phérivong Lenoir, director general of the CDC du Granit and vice-president of the CHIC du Granit, in a recent press release.Le Concerto is the home to 14 affordable apartments for solo tenants or families.It will offer new services to citizens, such as day-care services with 42 spots with varying schedules (evenings and weekends), drop-in centre for young children, and an indoor playground for children up to 12 years old.The building is also LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified.LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification, ensuring that it was designed with ecological and sustainable methods and materials.In April Le Concerto was awarded the provincial Régis-Laurin prize for Innovation, granted by the Association des groups de ressources techniques du Québec (AGRTQ).The prize was created in 2004 to recognize the exceptional contribution of individuals and organizations to the cause of community housing and the improvement of living conditions of low-income individuals, and those with special needs.\u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that Le Concerto is drawing high praise.The collaborative work carried out by our partners and our community is remarkable,\u201d stated Julie Morin, Lac-Mégantic mayor.\u201cWe believe that this success will continue in the years to come and we will be talking about Concerto as one of the flagships of our town\u2019s vitality.\u201d Cutline: Le Concerto is a multi-func- tional building that encompasses 14 apartments for low-income families and daycare spaces.It is one of Lac-Mégan- tic\u2019s many initiatives to rebuild the downtown area after the July 6, 2013 railway tragedy.PICTURES COURTESY Le Concerto is a multi-functional building that

new Champlain Bridge to open June 24, six months behind schedule The Canadian Press Montreal's new Samuel De Champlain Bridge will open to traffic on June 24, roughly six months behind schedule.Federal Infrastructure Minister Fran- cois-Philippe Champagne announced the date today.The $4.2-billion bridge over the St.Lawrence River will open first to traffic headed to Montreal, and a week later, on July 1, the lanes headed off the island will open.But Ottawa and the consortium in charge of construction have still not resolved what penalty will be paid for the late completion of a project initially scheduled to be ready last December.Under the contract with the consortium, Signature sur le Saint-Laurent, penalties were set at $100,000 a day for the first seven days, then $400,000 a day for subsequent days, with a ceiling of $150 million.Analysts have said the penalty could hit $75 million.The 3.4-kilometre span will open in two phases to ensure a smooth, safe transition of traffic from the crumbling bridge it replaces, which was built in 1962.Champagne said in an interview there will be a price paid for the delay.\u201cI have always said that if there are delays, there will be consequences,'' he said.\u201cThe discussions are going to continue, because in a project of this size, there will always be demands.'' If the two parties are unable to resolve their differences, it will be up to a court to decide, he added.The new Samuel de Champlain bridge is seen with the old bridge in the background in Montreal on Monday, June 17, 2019.The $4.2-billion bridge over the St.Lawrence River will open first to traffic headed to Montreal on June 24, and a week later, on July 1, the lanes headed off the island will open.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Paul Chiasson Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord @recordnewspaper By David Suzuki Buried under a late-May news barrage, Canada\u2019s government made small but important changes to the Oceans Act and Petroleum Resources Act that will strengthen protection of at- risk marine ecosystems.The most significant is that government will no longer have to wait for marine protected area designation to prevent harmful activities, but will have the power to implement \u201cinterim protections.\u201d Changes to the Petroleum Act \u201callow Natural Resources Canada and Crown-In- digenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada to negotiate the voluntary surrender of a company\u2019s oil and gas interests\u201d and compensate companies if marine protected area designation means cancelling projects.Freezing harmful activities for up to five years will give government time to consult with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, stakeholders and the public before it formally protects a marine area.The changes are in line with the government\u2019s goal of protecting 10 per cent of Canada\u2019s ocean territory by next year.It has made progress, with 8.27 per cent now protected, up from less than one per cent in 2015.It\u2019s progress worth celebrating on World Oceans Day, June 8.Many Canadians may not know the UN declared this special day at Canada\u2019s urging.With three oceans surrounding the world\u2019s longest coastline and more than 350,000 ocean-dependent jobs, it makes sense for Canada to honour and protect these ecosystems and the tremendous resources they provide.But is it too early to pat ourselves on the back?A Greenpeace study by York and Oxford university researchers argues we must protect at least 30 per cent of oceans by 2030, including areas outside territorial jurisdiction, \u201cto address the crisis facing our oceans and enable their recovery.\u201d (I believe that falls short of what\u2019s needed.) The report, 30 30: A Blueprint for Ocean Protection, shows that a network of \u201cfully protected marine protected areas\u201d is feasible and something the world should consider as governments negotiate a global ocean treaty through the UN, expected in 2020.The push for greater ocean protection marks a growing shift in our perception of the seas, from a resource storehouse and dumping ground for wastes to a source of life.Oceans are vital to our survival and contribute to our prosperity and quality of life.They produce more than half the world\u2019s oxygen and are the largest carbon sink.And they offer yet unknown potential for medical discoveries.But we know more about Mars than the immense scope of ocean life.We\u2019ve only explored about five per cent of the underwater world.Less then a half century ago, no one contemplated that a multitude of species could live around deep-sea hydrothermal vents.Further altering our value system to put the environment first and look out for all species\u2019 needs will allow us to base development decisions on recognizing that we benefit from maintaining natural ecosystems.Beyond Oceans Act amendments, Canada is also examining Fisheries Act updates to address increasing pollution, ecosystem destruction and declining biodiversity.This would include measures to rebuild fish stocks, many of which are severely depleted.Similar action has proven successful in the United States.However, fishing quotas aren\u2019t enough, as fish face numerous threats that only healthy, abundant stocks may be able to withstand.Marine protected areas help safeguard the diversity and abundance of plants and animals in and around them, improving their resilience to human activity, climate change and other, often unexpected, events.We often take the oceans\u2019 gifts for granted, underestimating their value, resulting in devastation to local economies and cultural values.Attempting to balance priorities between the environment and the economy requires constant, exhausting renegotiation and compromise.The false assumption is that conservation activities cost more than the environmental impacts of

Huge crowds gather in downtown Toronto for Raptors parade, rally By Paola Loriggio and Alanna Rizza THE CANADIAN PRESS Large stretches of downtown Toronto turned into a sea of red and black on Monday as Raptors fans turned out in droves to celebrate the newly crowned NBA champions, the massive crowds raising safety concerns as officials urged supporters to watch the festivities from afar.Fans dressed in the team's colours packed the parade route while a square outside city hall where the march was to end overflowed with people of all ages.Police worked to stop more supporters from entering the square, which the city said was at capacity.The masses proved too much for some, who were helped over a barricade by police at Nathan Phillips Square to escape the crush.At one point, officers pulled a semi-conscious child over the barrier and onto a stretcher.Several subway stations near the route were also shut down due to overcrowding.Nicolas Caramanna, 21, said he'd been in the crowd since 9 a.m.and the gathering soon got rowdy.\u201cI'm really hot and tired but I'm going to stick around,'' he said.\u201cWhen else am I going to get a chance to do this?'' As the parade inched forward _ noticeably behind schedule _ members of the Raptors smiled from open top dou- ble-decker buses, some splashing the crowds with champagne.At one point, Kyle Lowry, the longest-serving member of team, was seen hoisting the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy while some of his teammates smoked cigars.\u201cThis is unbelievable,'' Lowry said.Kawhi Leonard, one of the team's star players, also marvelled at the fan response.\u201cThank you Toronto, thank you Canada for the support, we did it,'' he said.Canadian rapper Drake, one the team's most famous supporters, was alongside players, smiling broadly.Construction workers watched the festivities from scaffolding along the route, and as traffic ground to a standstill on a nearby thoroughfare, some motorists left their vehicles to peer at the activity.Many fans said they decided not to go to school or work so they could attend the celebration.\u201cI actually have exams this week but being here is worth it,'' said 15-year-old Cypher Sabanal, whose mother let him skip school to attend the parade.John Moreira, meanwhile, had called in sick to work so he could be part of the crowd.\u201cI told my boss I wanted to be at the parade and he said there wasn't much he could do if I called in sick so that's exactly what I did,'' said the 31-year-old.\u201cI'm looking forward to seeing the whole team.They all work so hard and deserve all the fans being out here.'' For several people, the parade marked a historic moment.\u201cI haven't seen anything like this happen in the city before so it's great to be a part of it,'' said 28-year-old RJ Salvador.Some in the crowd had camped out all weekend in the hopes of nabbing a prime spot along the parade route or at Nathan Phillips Square.Fans held up signs and enlarged heads of their basketball idols like Leonard and Fred VanVleet.Several hoisted signs urging Leonard, who will become a free agent in the off-season, to stick with the team he helped rise to the top.As the parade progressed, police took to Twitter asking the public to clear a path.\u201cPlease do not impede the parade route,'' they wrote.\u201cAll viewing areas close to capacity.Be patient and safe.'' Viewing screens were set up at Yonge and Dundas square _ north of the parade area _ for overflow crowds to watch the celebrations, with police urging supporters to head there if they felt too crowded.A viewing area was also available at Coronation Park.Police also said \u201cseveral children'' had been separated from their parents and were being taken to 52 Division where their families could pick them up.GO Transit also set up a designated spot at transit hub Union Station's lost and found for children separated from their group or family.Some at Nathan Phillips Square appeared to grow impatient, chanting \u201cbring the parade!'' Later, several chanted that they wanted water and members of the Raptors dance crew shuttled cups to parched fans pressed against a fence.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was scheduled to be among those celebrating, with a brief visit to Toronto planned for later in the day.Ontario Premier Doug Ford was also expected to watch the festivities from Nathan Phillips Square.His press secretary said Ford wanted the day to be about the fans and players, not politicians.Mayor John Tory declared Monday \u201cWe The North Day'' in Toronto, after the NBA champions' slogan.Dressed in his now-famous black-and-gold Raptors blazer, the mayor urged all fans to come celebrate the team's historic win.Many who couldn't make it downtown watched the festivities from afar.Several schools in the city showed the parade in classrooms and some held their own victory marches for students.\u201cToday's history lesson in room 137! Watching the ?Raptors first victory parade! I told them that one day their children will ask about where they were during the parade and to tell them that the awesome Miss Latchford put the parade on for them in class!,'' one educational assistant tweeted.The Raptors' championship win last week came in Game 6 of a rollercoaster Series that captured national attention.On Monday, the Golden State Warriors took out a full-page advertisement in the Toronto Star newspaper, congratulating their rivals for taking the title.The last time the city held a sports celebration of this magnitude was after the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993.That parade saw fans climbing trees and statues on city streets to catch a glimpse of a team that included Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar.The Canadian Press The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Anthony Duclair to a one-year, US$1.65-million extension.Ottawa acquired Duclair, 23, in a deal sending Ryan Dzin- gel to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Feb.23.Duclair finished with 33 points (19 goals, 13 assists) in 74 games with Columbus and Ottawa last season.The native of Pointe-Claire, Que., had at least one point in eight of the Senators' final 12 games.Selected in the third round (80th overall) of the 2013 NHL draft by the New York Rangers, Duclair has registered 122 points (56 goals, 66 assists) and 97 penalty minutes over 287 NHL games with the Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus and Ottawa.\u201cWe were pleased with what Anthony was able to add to our lineup after his acquisition,'' Senators GM Pierre Dorion said in a statement.\u201cThis signing improves our team speed and scoring depth up front.Anthony's speed and skill can be dynamic and at only 23 years old, we feel he has the chance to grow into a really consistent contributor.''

fan.Your column reaches a multitude of readers and is a valuable way to enlighten and educate on topics either not talked about or not well known.I wanted to write to you about a condition that my son has, in hopes of educating people about it, as there are many others who have the same condition and are suffering in silence.My son has prosopagnosia, which is a neurological condition characterized by the inability to recognize the faces of familiar people.Some experts have claimed that 2% of the population has the condition.There are two forms, congenital, which means from birth, or acquired, which means through stroke, traumatic brain injury or certain neurodegenerative diseases.It also tends to run in families.Some degree of prosopagnosia is often present in children with autism and Asperger syndrome, and may be the cause of their impaired social development.My son has had the condition from birth.We always knew that he had trouble identifying people, as he would frequently mix people up when he was younger, such as his own dad and uncle, who, while having similar height and build, looked nothing alike.We always thought it was a quirk \u2014 out of sight, out of mind.However, as he got older and started attending school full-time, we noticed a change in personality; his self- esteem plummeted and he frequently said he felt dumb and out of place.This was very scary to witness as a parent.Luckily, he had some amazing teachers along the way who identi?ed and recommended that something else was going on and encouraged us to have a neuropsycholog- ical evaluation done.He scored in the ?rst percentile for visual memory.At the same time, his dad read about prosopagnosia.It was like a lightbulb went off in our heads when we read about the symptoms, and completed a checklist.Our psychologist was receptive to reviewing and learning about this condition and reached out to colleagues.After further review, and appointments with a neuro-opthamologist and neurologist, we were able to get a diagnosis.Now there is no foolproof test to diagnose the condition, but our son had enough of the markers for the doctors to make an educated diagnosis.We can\u2019t tell you how much having an answer and learning about the condition really helped our son.While it still took some time and therapy, his mood improved, his self-esteem came back, and he was happy to explain his condition to his friends and family to help them understand.This is something he will struggle with all his life.There are times when he loses his family in a large crowd or can\u2019t ?nd his friends on a playground.There are times when he totally ignores a friend because he runs into him unexpectedly and can\u2019t identify him, which results in hurt feelings on both sides.Luckily, he has support from his family, friends and community.Many times we have run into people unexpectedly who know about our son\u2019s condition, and they smile and introduce themselves to him and give a brief sentence or two on where he may know them from.This goes a long way in helping him to remember.Thanks for always being there.\u2014 A Loving Mom in Massachusetts Dear Loving Mom: Thank you for educating all of us on what must be a dif?cult condition, one that your son is dealing with admirably, thanks to the courageous and intelligent efforts of you, your husband, the doctors and those special teachers who really cared about your son.Your story is very inspiring.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

watery, overcooked chard, we started cooking the greens in a covered pot just until they wilted down.Then we uncovered the pot and continued to cook the greens until all the liquid evaporated.Cutting the tough stems smaller than the tender leaves meant that we could throw both in the pot at the same time and still get evenly cooked results.Sauteing plenty of garlic in olive oil before adding the chard gave this simple side a big hit of flavour, while a splash of mild white wine vinegar and red pepper flakes added brightness and subtle heat.GARLICKY SWISS CHARD Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 15 minutes 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 pounds Swiss chard, stems chopped fine, leaves sliced into 1/2 inch-wide strips Salt and pepper 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar Cook 2 tablespoons oil and garlic in Dutch oven over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is light golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.Stir in chard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper flakes.Increase heat to high, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chard is wilted but still bright green, 2 to 4 minutes.Uncover and continue to cook, stirring often, until liquid evaporates, 4 to 6 minutes.Stir in vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil.Season with salt and pepper to taste.Serve.Variations Garlicky Swiss Chard with Walnuts and Feta: Sprinkle chard with 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts before serving.Garlicky Swiss Chard with Golden Raisins and Goat Cheese: Add 1/4 cup golden raisins to pot with chard.Sprinkle chard with 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese and 1/4 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts before serving.Asian-Style Swiss Chard: Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to pot with chard.In step 2, substitute 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil for olive oil and substitute 4 teaspoons soy sauce for vinegar.Sprinkle chard with 3 tablespoons sliced scallion and 1/4 cup chopped, salted, dry-roasted peanuts before serving.Nutrition information per serving: 97 calories; 66 calories from fat; 7 g fat (1 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 516 mg sodium; 7 g carbohydrate; 3 g fiber; 2 g
