EMC news - Cancer doesnt sleep and neither do we.

This is the answer Rosemary Leu gives when asked why the Relay for Life event is held overnight.

My favourite explanation when people ask Why is Relay overnight? the response is that cancer doesnt sleep and neither do we, said Leu, the volunteer event chair for the Relay for Life Ottawa West event for the Canadian Cancer Society.

The relay will take place on June 7 at Walter Baker Park, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

We might get tired doing our relay, we fi ght fatigue, but when you look at what those people are fi ghting every day, what were doing over 12 hours is not so bad, she said.

Teams walk a track, lined with lumi-naries candles placed in special bags that bear the names of cancer survivors and loved ones who lost their battle with cancer. A luminary ceremony is held at 10 p.m.

The inspiration and the emotion that you feel from that ceremony is something that stays with you, said Leu.

It touched me in a very deep way. I think its defi nitely something people can come out and enjoy.

EMC news - Under My Wing Pug Rescue is once again inviting the citys Pug lovers to spend a day meeting new four-legged friends.

PugStock will be returning to the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on May 26 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The dog rescue organization has rescued more than 200 pugs since 2006. It provides foster

homes, medical care and for-ever homes to those animals it takes in.

Running a rescue means that theres the vet costs and the food costs. This is the biggest fundraiser we do all year, said Jennifer Gorman, who volun-teers with Under My Wing.

Entrance to the event will be $2 per person and all breeds of dog are welcome.

Aside from a silent auction, which includes items like tick-ets to the Justin Bieber concert

in July and an iPad mini, there will exhibitors showcasing ev-erything from animal CPR to agility training.

Pugs who have been adopted thanks to the rescue will strut their stuff during a parade and those dogs awaiting adoption will come out and hopefully meet people interested in tak-ing them to their forever home, Gorman said.

It takes more than a village to run the rescue, Gorman said, adding all the people involved

are volunteers. We have no physical shelter

building where we can house dogs, so we rely completely on fosters, she said.

As long as there are still backyard breeders and puppy mills, there is a need for Un-der My Wing to exist, Gorman said.

Events like Pugstock also shed light on the work rescue organizations do and help to raise awareness about where to look when searching for a four-legged addition to your home.

For more information on the dog rescue and events, visit undermywingpugrescue.com.

SUBMITTED Pina is a six-year-old female who is calm, very friendly and good with other dogs. She is up for adoption.

Pugstock returns to Ron Kolbus

EMC news - The initial list of stores slated to open at a new outlet mall in Kanata were announced during a groundbreaking ceremony at the site last week.

Michael Kors, DKNY, Nine West, Coach and Aeropostale were among those listed by Steven Tanger, president and

CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. on May 15.

This is an exciting time indeed, said Tanger, adding the outlet mall will provide a best in class shopping expe-rience.

My advice to you is to get your credit cards ready, he said.

The outlet mall will feature around 70 stores in its approx-imately 27,900 square metres of retail space.

Located off Highway 417 at Palladium Drive, Tanger Outlets is set to be completed in 2014.

Tanger is investing $115 million into the Ottawa econ-omy, said Mayor Jim Watson.

Along with an investment into the local economy, the project is estimated to create around 700 jobs during the construction phase and 1,000 full-time and part-time retail jobs once the complex is com-plete.

We are witnessing greater opportunities for consumers, said Watson. The centre will be an attraction for tourists.

CROSS-BORDER DOLLARS

Kanata North Coun. Mari-anne Wilkinson added the outlet mall will bring in cross-border dollars typically spent in the United States.

(It) provides people the

ability to shop in Canada in-stead of the States, she said.

Tanger Outlets and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust co-own three other Canadian outlet malls.

Development in Canada is a tough, tough game, said John Ballantyne, senior vice-president in asset management of RioCan. Theres been no greater enthusiasm than for an outlet centre.

Ballantyne also announced a $25,000 contribution to the Richcraft Recreation Com-plex in north Kanata.

North Carolina-based Tanger Outlets owns 43 outlet shopping centers in the United States and Canada, with more than 2,700 stores operated by 460 different brand name companies.

The groundbreaking cer-emony included a parade of outfi ts by the stores an-nounced by Tanger. The other brand names include:

Nike Calvin Klein Gap Banana Republic Brooks Brothers American Eagle Guess

Continued from page 1

The Relay for Life commit-tee is looking for more teams to join the event. Last year, the west Ottawa event had 44 teams registered and Leu said she absolutely wants to beat that number this year. As of mid-May, 37 teams were registered.

Ashley Stewart is the team captain of the Roast Beasts. Her team relays in memory of her sister, Lindsay, who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2011 at age 30.

According to her teams profi le, Lindsay lived every day to its fullest and never stopped fi ghting. She spoke about her disease openly and publicly in hopes of her story

saving someone elses life. We relay to continue telling Lindsays story and to honour her memory.

The team name is derived from Lindsays tumour, which she nicknamed The Beast and from Sunday dinners with the family, consisting of roast beef.

This will be our fourth year walking in a cancer fund-raiser in the Ottawa area, rais-ing well over $20,000 so far in the fi ght against cancer, said the teams profi le, which has raised more than $2,800 of its $5,000 goal this year.

Its not too late for people to register a team or go to the website and pledge support for an existing team, said Leu, who is also the executive

director of the Kanata Cham-ber of Commerce.

The more teams we have, the more people participate in the event, the greater time well have and the more funds we will raise.

Its primarily a fundrais-ing event but its so much more than that.

Last year, $145,000 was raised from the Ottawa west relay, while $1.2 million was raised in total from the Ot-tawa west, east, south and centre Relays for Life.

The event is the largest charitable fundraiser for can-cer research in Canada, said Leu.

Last year, $46 million was raised across the country. Of that, almost $15 million was

given to research in Ottawa.There is a tremendous

amount of work done in our city, said Leu, who got in-volved with the relay four years ago as a volunteer.

CELEBRATION

Many teams have a theme tying into their team name. Others dress up in matching outfi ts or costumes.

Its a festival atmosphere and its a really inspiring event, said Leu. Im proud to be part of it.

During the 12-hour event there are fun activities throughout the night, such as team spirit and themed laps. A survivors victory lap kicks off the beginning of the relay at 6:40 p.m., followed by a

parade of the teams.The survivors victory lap

is another one where we cel-ebrate the fi ght that theyve gone through, are going through, and winning that battle, said Leu.

Its a fantastic celebration of life.

We remember loved ones lost but we celebrate those that are fi ghting and surviving every day.

Leu added the committee is also looking for volunteers to help on the day of the relay.

Come out and help us for a few hours, she said. Par-ticipate in some of the cer-emonies.

She added a number of community businesses have donated time and volunteered resources to the event.

For more information on the Relay for Life Ottawa West event, visit http://con-vio.cancer.ca/site/TR?fr_id=12489&pg=entry. For de-tails on the Canadian Cancer Societys Relay for Life, visit the general website relayfor-life.ca. Leu can be contacted at [email protected] or by calling 613-592-8343.

The website links can be used to fi nd out more infor-mation, register a team, regis-ter for the Survivors Recep-tion, volunteer for the event, pledge a donation or purchase a luminary, said Leu.

But anyone is welcome to come down to Walter Baker Park on June 7 to participate in the fun and experience this inspirational event.

Relay number one fundraiser for cancer research in Canada

KAREN BELL CARDINALThe luminaries are lit during last years Relay for Life Ottawa West event for the Canadian Cancer Society at Walter Baker Park. Last year saw 44 teams participate and $145,000 raised from the Kanata event. This year, Rosemary Leu, volunteer event chair, is hoping to break those numbers.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

This time of year the news media, searching for ways to make hockey playoffs meaningful to the non-hockey population, focus on the fans, big crowds of them in matching colours, shaking towels in matching colours, yelling, dancing, or as in Toronto looking sud-denly suicidal.

The cameras prowl around the city looking for hockey fans being interesting which is to say, noisy and excited. Naturally, the cameras fi nd the public areas where noisy and excited people gather. In Ottawa, that would be the so-called Red Mile downtown. People with painted faces and colourful costumes are there. Along the Red Mile, and its equivalent in other cities, the cameras enter the bars, where people are all too happy to wave and shout and chant and look like newsworthy fans.

But there are other, less newsworthy fans in our city. Perhaps they are the majority. Fortunately for them, the cameras do not seek them out.

For these fans their fanaticism is private. They stay out of the public places. Their faces remain unpainted and they wear their normal clothes. Yet in their own way, they are making the adjustment to playoff mode.

This requires changes in their behaviour patterns. Dinner, instead of being at the usual time, now must be earlier, to be over in time for the game. Or it must become a different kind of dinner, in order to be eaten off the lap in front of the TV set. Or it must be so late as to be verging on fashionable.

Social life becomes more complicated. A dinner party scheduled weeks ago suddenly is found to coincide with the game. It cant be shifted: that would be rude. So calculations have to be made. Are the guests fans? Would they mind eating at 5:30, before the game? Would they mind eating at 10 p.m., after the game? Can they persuaded to eat Chinese food off their laps, in front of the TV, with chopsticks?

And if the guests are not hockey fans?

There are people in the world who think about other things and are oblivious to what happens on the ice. They want to talk about Syria. How many times can you sneak away from the conversation during dinner to check the score? And what will be your excuse stirring the dessert, making the coffee, a sudden nosebleed, another sudden nosebleed?

And how to explain to your guests the sudden elation/depression you feel around 10 p.m? Depression could be Syria, I suppose.

Another trial facing the private fan has to do with his/her children/grandchildren. They can scarcely be shielded from the fanaticism that is all around them. But they cant be allowed to stay up until 10 on a school night either. As a consequence, a small but signifi -cant proportion of the fan base only sees the fi rst period.

But even that one period has its own chal-lenges. The commercials have to be muted which leads to the spectacle of silent video game monsters and Justin Trudeau in his un-dershirt. Further, a quick escape strategy has to be plotted to divert impressionable young eyes away from the fi ghts. Quick: Weather Network! goes the cry whenever the gloves are dropped.

In some games, the children see more low

pressure systems than slapshots. They must wonder why people paint their faces for this.

Even among private fans, the pressure builds, the anguish and the ecstasy, the groans and cheers, and the tough part, at the end of it, is to explain to the children and grand-children of private fans that its only a game, that you shouldnt be mad at your team, you shouldnt hate the other team and life goes on, win or lose.

While youre doing that, the screen fi lls with all the grieving painted faces in one city and all the hysterically happy painted faces in the other. Quick: Weather Network!

Public and private adjustment to playoff hockey mode

Time to confront concussions

COLUMN

The death of a Barrhaven teen after sustain-ing a severe head injury during a rugby game last week has highlighted the need for more education about concussions and brain injuries.

Rowan Stringer, 17, a John McCrae Secondary School student and the captain of her school rugby team, was tackled hard and hit her head and neck on the ground during a game on May 14.

According to comments from her parents, Rowan had suffered two head injuries the week leading up to her fatal injury.

The fi rst time, she told her parents and took a pain reliever, the second time she only told her friends about the injury.

We dont know if these were concussions, but the family has authorized an autopsy to fi nd out the fac-tors leading to her death.

Ottawas public school board is now taking a hard look at its safety policies to see if they can be improved and make sure players arent playing with injuries. But we cant place the onus on just the coaches its impossible for them to monitor every single hit. All of us parents, family members, fellow players, properly armed with the knowledge about the dangers of head injuries can help prevent

athletes playing with concussions.The president of the Brain Injury Association of

Canada has suggested, during an interview with the media, that Rowan might still be alive today if there was better awareness among coaches, players and the general public about the dangers of repeated concus-sions.

The danger of suffering an injury, ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones and head injuries, is a fact of life for all athletes. Nothing will change that. But athletes properly educated about the dangers of head injuries, can intelligently decide whether or not they are fi t to participate in a game or competi-tion.

A big part of the problem is athletes dont want to report head injuries because theyre afraid they will miss games. Education is a universal cure for poor decision making and a key component for preventing and treating sports-related concussions.

Schools and sports associations should provide coaches, players and parents with the training and knowledge to both identify and treat concussions and head injuries. Research shows that if an athlete takes a hit to the head and suffers headaches afterwards, they may have suffered a concussion.

An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

THIS WEEKS POLL QUESTION: Should the death of a young rugby player force schools to take a second look at athletic safety in Ottawa?

A) Yes. It is an opportunity for teachers, coaches, parents and students to learn more about head injuries.

B) Yes. Hazardous sports like football, rugby and hockey have no place in the school system.

C) No. The teens death was an isolated incident and isnt an indication of a wider problem.

D) Do we really need another reason to turn young people away from physical activity?

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?

A) Defi nitely. Nothing brings everyone in the city together like rallying behind our team.

B) I think it is a wonderful time to be a hockey fan, but the rest of us just shrug it off .

C) No. I dont think sports are something that should be used to bind a community together.

D) I didnt even notice the playoff s had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about?

EMC news - Former Major League pitcher Michael Kusie-wicz learned many valuable life skills playing baseball.

As a high school student, the smallest noise, even the sound of a pencil dropping, was enough to distract him.

But he discovered how to fo-cus his mind pitching at the ball diamond, where his attention narrowed to his catchers glove at home plate.

The number one biggest infl uence in my life is sports, said Kusiewicz, who went on to become the fi rst Ottawa-born player drafted by a Ma-jor League Baseball team. I learned on the baseball fi eld how to focus.

Kusiewicz and Team Cana-da fencer John Wright shared some of the life lessons they learned participating in sports with more than 260 Bridlewood elementary school students at Deevy Pines Park during True Sport Play Day on May 17.

The sixth-annual event, orga-nized by the Bridlewood Com-munity Association, teaches children the values of fairness, excellence, inclusion and fun.

If things arent fun its hard to learn, said Dina Bell-La-roche, a BCA member who was responsible for bringing True Sport to the community.

Last Friday, fi ve play sta-tions were set up around Deevy Pines Park and the fi eld was fi lled with the sounds of laugh-ter, happy shrieks and running children.

Sport contributes immea-surably to the vibrancy of our community, said community association president Margaret Kellaway.

True Sport is having fun with your friends, said Bridle-

wood Community Elemen-tary School student Abbey Larocque.

The purpose of True Sport is to make everyone included, added Jacquelyn Grossutti, a student at St. Anne Catholic El-ementary School.

Students from Roch Carrier, Bridlewood Community, St. Anne Catholic, St. James Cath-olic, W. O. Mitchell and lisa-beth-Bruyre French Catholic elementary schools took part in the two-hour event.

True Sport is a national movement to provide a safe, welcoming and rewarding ex-perience in sport.

ROLE MODELS

Aside from enjoying fun on the fi eld, students were treated to presentations by Kusiewicz and Wright, two local, success-ful athletes.

Wright, who hails from south Ottawa, has competed in fencing tournaments around the world as a member of Team Canada.

At a world cup tournament last year, the Canadians beat the American team on Canada Day, placing second overall.

It was a pretty cool experi-ence for me, said the 22-year-old.

Wright began fencing at age eight after taking part in a Car-leton University sport camp.

I came home and told my parents that was what I enjoyed most, he said.

Wright has trained at the RA Centre ever since.

Speaking with the students, he mentioned a tournament where his team was up by 10 points. The last to fence, Wright lost the battle and the team didnt advance past the top eight.

He said he began to doubt his

abilities and felt guilty for let-ting his team down.

But he picked himself back up, continued his training, and has gone on to compete around the world.

As long as Im getting bet-ter and improving, it doesnt really matter what other people think, he said. Through sport you can really realize there are a lot of people who would judge you. You can change your weaknesses.

Having a positive role mod-el, whether a coach, parent, sib-ling, teacher or friend, is impor-tant, he added.

You need good role models to succeed, said Wright, who graduated from the University of Ottawas history program this year.

In July, Wright will travel to Russia for the World University

Games.

NEVER GIVE UP

Kusiewicz said another les-son he learned on the baseball diamond was to never give up.

He played for the East Nepe-an Eagles before moving on to a mens team at the age of 16.

In 1994, he was drafted in the eighth round by the Colo-rado Rockies, and during his pro-career had stints playing in the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers and Oakland Athletics minor league systems.

In 1998, the year he was named the Rockies Minor League Player of the Year, Kus-iewicz tore his shoulder and un-derwent surgery.

It felt like someone was sticking a knife into my shoul-der, he said. But I didnt quit.

He went on to play 10 more years, including at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, where Team Canadas mens baseball team fi nished

fourth.He retired in 2008.Now, the 36-year-old Rich-

mond resident teaches at St. Nicholas Adult High School, in Ottawa, after spending three years as a teacher at Sacred

Heart Catholic High School.Kusiewicz encouraged the

Bridlewood kids to follow their dreams.

Someone next to you could be an Olympian or a famous musician, he told the students.

True Sport all about fun, inclusion: studentsInternationally successful athletes share inspirational stories with students

OPINION Connected to your community

I was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day. She has a full-time job, three school-age children and a husband who also has a full-time job, an hour-long daily commute and chronic health problems.

As one does in these situa-tions, I asked, hows it going?

Always with a sense of humour, she said, its chaotic, but okay. But the laundry! I need to hire someone to fold the laundry! My children are start-ing to think its normal to search for clean clothes in a mountain in the basement, she lamented.

I started thinking deeply on her laundry dilemma. If my friend were a man, would she be more likely to outsource the laundry? I suspect she would. In fact, earlier this year, when my husband was midway through his parental leave, he did just. He had stuff he wanted to do while on leave, like spend a few hours perusing his favourite stores, visit with friends, have a daily shower (and, ironically, renovate the laundry room). So he put the request out there: What if we hire someone a few mornings per week to look after the baby?

I was nervous at fi rst and

really unsure about the fi nancial sustainability of it. It also seemed incredibly indulgent, considering we were both home. But fi ve months in, I realize its amazing to have an extra pair of hands on deck. In fact, Im not sure how I ever stayed home full-time with my boys when they were babies and managed everything on my own. (Anyone with a toddler knows that cleaning up after their self-feeding meals alone is a full-time job -- never mind the fact that a baby seems to triple the household laundry at minimum).

It made me think: leave it to a man to come up with a practical solution to buy a few hours of free time each week, so that, you know, he could have a life as well as look after a baby full-time.

Yes, Im gender stereotyping here. But most stereotypes are

grounded in some version of the truth. And the reality is that women, especially where chil-dren are concerned, too often fail to consider themselves fi rst.

I look around at the women I know and regardless of whether theyre home full-time or trying to simultaneously work outside the home and look after things on the domestic front, it seems everyone is simply doing too much.

Last year, American aca-demic Anne-Marie Slaughter caused a stir with her article in The Atlantic, and especially its title, Why Women Still Cant Have it All.

But Im wondering why any-one would want to have it all -- well, at least, the responsibility of it all. Its incredibly freeing to delegate and outsource tasks, whether thats hiring someone to throw dinner in the slow-cooker and get the laundry into

the drawers each day, or getting an accountant to do your taxes.

With the recent release of Facebook chief operat-ing offi cer Sheryl Sandbergs book, Lean In, there is a new mainstream discussion emerg-ing on the future of feminism. The co-authors of The New Girls Network recently noted in a Harvard Business Review blog much of this new discus-sion is focused on executive feminism, primarily, how to get more women into top roles of organizations. And while this is an essential conversation to be having, particularly pushing cultural change in organizations to better develop women into top roles, its also necessary to continue empowering women across the board.

Perhaps the best place to start is by encouraging women to be a bit more selfi sh. Lets scrap the ideologies that cause women to believe they are solely responsible for rearing the perfect child. Lets start thinking like men and putting ourselves fi rst so we can be healthier, stronger and offer a well-rounded perspective to our kids. Its empowering and at the end of the day, I think its what women really want.

EMC news - April showers bring May flowers but this month at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, patrons will be treated to a show of anything but.

The Anything but Flowersexhibit at the Mlacak Centre, which runs un-til June 23, features Beaverbrook art-ist Catherine Hunt Edwards and north Kanatas Sheila Turner-Whalen.

Edwards enjoys capturing mechani-cal items on canvas, like tractors, trucks abandoned in fields, and construction sites.

I like things that are boxy and square, said Edwards, one of the founders of the civic art gallery. Flow-ers I find too complicated.

Her pieces on display include street scenes in Toronto, construction in Montreal and a produce vendors store in Oxford, England.

The mechanical stuff is quite inter-esting to draw, said Edwards, who is a juried member of the Canadian Soci-ety of Painters in Watercolour.

She takes her own photos with a point-and-shoot digital camera when she finds a subject shed like to paint. Edwards also enjoys working in series, taking a subject and painting numer-ous pieces.

Edwards began painting in 1971, when her children were babies. She had just started taking art classes when

her third child came along. I went back two weeks later, she

said. Edwards prefers using watercolour

and acrylic. She works with six colours two each of red, yellow and blue. When she has white in a painting, its the canvas showing through.

You have to think as you go along, she said about knowing where to leave white space.

Edwards took an art course open to the public at Earl of March Secondary School, and part of the semester was spent working in clay and soapstone. The dust from the soapstone isnt healthy, so Edwards said she tried her hand at wood.

She works with soft pines, cedars and basswoods, mainly with small, manual tools to bring the wood to life.

Every year, she makes Santa Claus-es for each of her six grandchildren for Christmas. Shes also completed a number of wood spirits old men with long beards and green men which typically overlook gardens.

Im trying to learn how to do full faces, said Edwards.

When it comes to art, Its not easy to stop. Its just something you do all the time, she added.

ABSTRACT

Turner-Whalen has been a juried member of the Kanata Civic Art Gal-

lery since 1993. She began painting three years earlier after seeing a notice for an art club in the local paper.

Working mainly with acrylics and watercolour pencils, Turner-Whalen paints abstracts, landscapes and still-lifes.

I like that; its just me, she said. I like to try different things. I like va-riety.

Shes won several awards for her abstract art, and if she had to pick a favourite type of painting, that style is up there.

When I want to let the child out to play, is when I do abstracts with fluid acrylic because I never know what Im going to get, she said. I think my favourite type of painting to do is ab-stract Im playing with colour.

Turner-Whalen starts out by pour-ing paint on her canvas and spraying it with water. She tilts the canvas to make the colours run and then uses a straw to blow the paint around.

Its just amazing sometimes what happens, said Turner-Whalen.

Her paintings on display include Pinheys Point and the Pinhey house, a barn along Highway 7 and an area at Calabogie Peaks.

Turner-Whalen has a garden at home, with lilies, poppies, petunias, pansies and irises that she uses as in-spiration for her works.

I do enjoy painting flowers, she said.

I enjoy being part of the gallery, she added. I enjoy being with people that have the same interests I have.

COLOUR ME, KIDS

The art gallery is hosting another Colour Me, Kids exhibit to run alongside the members Just 4 Fun showing, from June 26 to Aug. 1.

We invited younger kids, up to age 11, to drop by the gallery ... to pick up a postcard, said member artist Judi Miller. Children can choose from three

postcards, two with pre-drawn images and a blank card.

Bring it back before June 21 and we will display their creations during our July show, said Miller.

The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is located in the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr. For more information and hours of operation, visit the web-site at kanatagallery.ca. While the Bea-verbrook library branch is under con-struction, a temporary entrance is set up at the arena, to the left of the main doors.

No May flowers at art exhibit puts focus on other subjects

JESSICA CunHA/METrOlAnDCatherine Hunt Edwards enjoys painting construction scenes and mechanical objects. The Beaverbrook artist is one of two featured members of the Kanata Civic Art Gallerys newest exhibit, Anything but Flowers.

Be Inspired By Your Child

- Book A Party Today!

Budding florists will learn about flower identification, flower care and floral design at our little florist birthday parties. The best part is that everyone goes home with their own unique flower arraignment!

We wanted to share a recent flower party with you.

Last Sunday afternoon, FlowersInspire hosted a little florist birthday party for Jordahn and her friends in Ottawa. When we arrived, the girls were so excited to see us and welcomed me as the flower lady.

Eager to start their flower party, they helped us bring in the flowers and carry a large floral delivery box into the house. Along with the flowers, we also brought everyone a smaller box with a vase and a card to write their names.

We started by taking some time to get to know everyone and shared stories on how flowers are inspiring. After explaining what the word inspired meant, here is what they said:

Jordahn is inspired by pink and butterflies. Emily is inspired by Justin Beiber. Debbie is inspired by sunshine and flowers. Maya is inspired by her hair. Sheri is inspired by her motorcycle. Lauryn is inspired by pretty things, shiny things and her lizard. Mikayla is inspired by rubies. Taylor is inspired by laughter.

Oh by the way, the owner of FlowersInspire (Vanessa) is inspired by butterflies, the color pink and ice cream cake!

The girls then put on their green aprons and we were ready to begin the floral session. Jordahn asked why the aprons had the words Pick Ontario on them. A great question to start the session!

We looked at posters of Ontario-grown plants and flowers, which also identi-fied when they are available throughout the year. We also learned about some other local varieties that grow in their own province and throughout the rest of Canada.

We then opened a box of flowers and the inspiration and learning began!

We passed around a large variety of flowers, including hot pink gerbera daisies, yellow tulips, pink and white mini carnations, purple statice, yellow solidago, mauve freesia, white daisies and green Yoko Onos. The children were

excited to learn that different flowers represent each of their birth months.

Taylors flower was the carnation for the month of January. Jordahns was the daffodil, and most of the other participants all born in July learned their flower was larkspur.

It was now time to fill our vases with flowers. They learned how to cut their greenery and use leather fern to create the base of their vase flower design. We then added a few filler flowers called solidago and statice, followed by daisies, Yoko Onos and mini-carnations. Then we finished th
