Certificates: Birth, Death or MarriageThe Office of the Registrar General provides copies of birth, death, and marriage certificates which occurred in the Province of Ontario. If you were born or married in another province or country, you must write to the proper authorities there. There is a cost attached to the issuance of certificates.

If you are applying for a social insurance number, passport or for a pension, you need your birth certificate for identification. Certain vacation spots do not require passports but do require a birth certificate—please ensure you check with your travel agent when making your arrangements.

You can apply to any M.P.P.’s constituency office for certificates, but you must allow a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks for receipt.

The Ombudsman is a place of last resort when other approaches to resolve complaints have been tried. The Ombudsman represents neither the government organization or the person complaining.

SERVICES | Government


Eligibility for the Old Age Security pension and the Guaranteed Income SupplementThe Government of Canada proposes to gradually increase the age of eligibility for the OAS pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) between the years 2023 and 2029, from 65 to 67. People currently receiving OAS benefits will not be affected by the proposed changes.The Government of Canada also proposes to gradually increase the ages at which the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor are provided, from 60-64 today to 62-66.

Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)People getting the Old Age Security pension who need financial help may be eligible for the Guaranteed Income Supplements (GIS). To find out if you are entitled for GIS you must fill out a GIS application form. An application for GIS is mailed, at your request, once your Old Age Security Pension is approved for payment.

Voluntary deferral of the Old Age Security pensionThe Government of Canada also proposes a voluntary deferral of the Old Age Security (OAS) pension that will give people the option to defer take-up of their OAS pension by up to five years past the age of eligibility, and subsequently receive a higher, actuarially adjusted pension.

The Allowance BenefitsA 60 to 64-year-old spouse or common-law partner of a person who is getting OAS may be able to get Allowance Benefits. The spouse or common-law partner must meet residence requirements and the couple’s income must be within set limits. You must fill out an application each year if you still need Allowance Benefits, otherwise payment will be discontinued.

Allowance for SurvivorsFinancial help is offered to the legal or common-law spouse; the survivor must be 60 to 64 years old and meet both residence and income rules.

Canada Pension Plan (CPP)The Canada Pension Plan offers retirement pensions, surviving spouse benefits and disability benefits. If you are at least 60 years of age, you

may be eligible for full or partial CPP retirement benefits, provided you have contributed to the plan.

A person who has turned 60 years of age may choose to begin receiving CPP benefits at that age. The CPP adjusts the amount of your pension by 0.5% for each month before or after your 65th birthday from the time you begin to receive your pension. The adjustment is permanent. This means that if you choose to start your pension early, the payment does not increase when you reach 65. For example, if you start your pension at 60, your monthly payment is 30% lower than if you wait until you’re 65. However, by starting it sooner, you will likely receive it for a longer time. If you start your pension at 70, your monthly payment is 30% higher than if you had taken it at 65. You may be able to share your Canada Pension Plan benefits with your spouse or common-law partner. You must apply to get these benefits.

PassportsPassports are valid for 5 years now. Effective July 1, 2013, a new 10-year ePassport was introduced with new fees for 5 and 10-year passports. Persons born in Canada must submit an original birth certificate. Those born outside of Canada must submit an original certificate of citizenship. Unlike the General Application Process, the Simplified Renewal Application Process does not require applicants to submit documentary evidence of citizenship (birth certificate, citizenship card, etc.) or provide supporting identification. The application form is shorter and no guarantor declaration is necessary.The Government of Canada continues to recommend that travellers carry a valid Canadian passport for all visits abroad, including the United States. A passport is the only universally accepted identification document and it proves that you have a right to return to Canada. Canadians are encouraged to plan ahead to avoid peak periods. Canadian citizens require a passport to enter the United States at land ports of entry as of June 1, 2009.Service Location – BrockvilleService Canada CentreThe Fuller Building14 Courthouse Avenue, Main FloorBrockville, ONThis office does not accept all types of applications

Living WillsA Living Will is a document that states your wishes regarding consent to or refusal of specific treatment. A Living Will is different from a Last Will and Testament because a Living Will addresses your health care, whereas a Last Will and Testament deals with matters of property. Both documents are essential for every adult.The Living Will allows you to direct your family, physician, and others about your health care choices, based on your own values and beliefs. A completed Living Will should be very specific as to what type of health care choices you wish in end of life situations. An example of what a Living Will addresses includes whether the person wishes to be hooked to a ventilator or respirator. A complete Living Will kit with instructions for how to complete the form is available from Dying With Dignity at the address below.

What is an Enduring Power of Attorney for Personal Care?The Power of Attorney for Personal Care or Health Care is a critical document to have should you be facing a health care crisis. There may come a time when you are unable to communicate your wishes or appreciate the implications of some decisions. A Power of Attorney for Personal Care allows you, in advance, to appoint an individual or individuals to make appropriate decisions on your behalf.

G.R.A.N.D. (Grandparents Requesting Access N’ Dignity)Ottawa ChapterThe relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is priceless! This bond is special, providing a sense of heritage and continuity in today’s rapidly changing society. Yet today, factors such as broken marriages, divorce, death and other circumstances often destroy this mutually important relationship. Many grandparents lose access to their grandchildren in which case both the grandparents and children suffer.

G.R.A.N.D. works to:• Provide emotional support to grandparents

who, for one reason or another, have been denied access to their grandchildren.

• Make the public and professionals aware of this ill in our society.

• Influence Provincial Family Law to recognize the interest that grandparents have in their grandchildren’s well-being.

Aims of the G.R.A.N.D. are:• Support system• Best interest of the child• Mediation• Public education and awareness• Prevention through family life education• Changes in the law• Specific recognition of grandparentsFor membership information and meetings call:

Community Health Centres~ a place where everyone matters!

At the 73 Community Health Centre’s across Ontario, the health and well-being of every individual, every family, every community matters! In our area, four Community Health Centres (CHCs) work closely together to provide a full range of primary health care and health promotion programs and services. They are: Country Roads Community Health Centre (in Portland); Merrickville District Community Health Centre (in Merrickville); the North Lanark Community Health Centre (located in Lanark Village); and the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre in Smiths Falls.

Community Health Centres are an effective and unique model of primary health care where an inter-disciplinary team of health care professionals work together to respond to people’s individual health concerns. At all CHC’s in our area, this team includes: doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, dietitians, social workers, chiropodists, respiratory therapists, health promoters and community developers.

In addition to primary care services, CHC’s also offer a wide range of free health promotion, education and prevention programs to address the broader health needs of the people and the communities they serve. In most cases, you do not have to be a client of the CHC in order to access these programs. While each CHC has their own specific group programs based on the unique needs of their community, they often include groups where people: learn how to manage their diabetes, asthma and other chronic conditions; get support to quit smoking; participate in community-based exercise classes, walking groups or yoga classes; learn relaxation, meditation and other techniques for stress reduction; and learn how to cook and purchase healthy foods on a budget.

For a current and comprehensive list of programs and services offered at each of the CHC’s in our area, contact each directly.

Foot CareOlder people often find it difficult to reach their feet and therefore have trouble caring for them. Simple procedures such as nail cutting can usually be performed by caregivers. Elders with diabetes or circulation problems, however, should have a podiatrist or chiropodist attend to their complete foot care.

Most Home Support Programs and Para-Med Health Services sponsor weekly footcare clinics. For clients who cannot attend the clinics, agencies can arrange in-home footcare.

To make an appointment, please contact the home support agency nearest you.

To Keep Feet Healthy• After washing, dry feet carefully especially

between the toes. Then generously use a fine talcum powder.

• To prevent ingrown toe nails, trim nails flat across the top.

• Exercise feet when sitting by rotating them at the ankles and by alternately stretching and contracting the toes.

• Use a foot bath with vibrating pads. Then massage the feet using a special foot lotion.

(From: “Eldercaring, A Guide for Caregivers,” by Janis Rotman.)

Community Health Centres also provide footcare services and Chiropody.

The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) is helping people stay connected.

The charitable agency offers services and products to individuals with varying degrees of hearing loss.

The Brockville CHS office located at 68 William St. (Suite 205) in Brockville covers all of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties. Residents of South Dundas are directed to the CHS office in Ottawa.

The program assistant is usually the first person with whom visitors and callers interact. They provide information on programs that CHS provides as well as on communication devices that are available. In many cases, clients are referred to a hearing care counsellor for follow-up.

Individual counselling sessions can take place in the CHS office or in the client’s home; these services are offered free of charge. The society does not offer hearing tests but can provide a list of audiologists and service providers.

The society’s mandate is to provide unbiased information to enable individuals and their families to make informed choices.

The Hearing Care Counselling Program assists older adults by educating clients and providing them with options to help manage difficult listening situations. Home visits can be conducted, and communication device demonstrations and recommendations are provided. Devices include visual smoke alarms and amplified phones; the society wants to ensure they are the right item for the client and will improve quality of life in the home.

CHS holds hearing care clinics at the Brockville office four times a year. There are also clinics at locations in Lanark County. Hearing tests are not conducted at the clinics; visitors can ask questions about cleaning their hearing aids or changing the batteries as well as other aspects of dealing with hearing loss.

General counseling services are also offered by

The local CHS office is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed for lunch between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m.).

In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs, many of them healthy, are put to death annually in pounds and shelters, for lack of homes for them. More die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation. To help diminish the numbers of these unfortunate animals our FUND FOR SPAYING/NEUTERING of cats and dogs provides for this purpose limited financial assistance to animal rescuers, caretakers of feral cat colonies, and individuals with limited income.

By donating to our non-animal-using ALTERNATIVE RESEARCH FUND (ARF) you can reduce the suffering of thousands of animals in biomedical laboratories while supporting first rate biomedical research. ARF promotes excellent biomedical work by relying on ethical clinical research with humans, human tissue and organ culture, epidemiology, simulators, computer science, and more.

Several ARF grants have been issued to date, to researchers and schools at Health Canada’s Environmental Health Centre, Laval University, University of Saskatchewan, and most recently to the Advanced Trauma Life Support Program at Ottawa Hospital and University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre.

Donations to support this work would be appreciated. Animal Defence League of Canada is a non-profit organization.

FEATURE | Brockville Denture Clinic

brockvilledentureclinic.com613-345-2110

As people age, their dentures don’t change, but their mouths do. If you have dentures, they should fit and you should be wearing them. Proper care and regular dental visits are important factors for keeping your mouth healthy and your dentures in good shape.

Problems from Poor Fitting DenturesWith age, the gum ridges in our mouths can shrink, causing dentures to become loose. Bone can also shrink, causing jaws not to line up properly. Loose dentures can cause sore spots in your mouth as well as stomach problems from not being able to chew food properly. A loose denture could also cause changes in your facial features.

When do Dentures Need to be Replaced?If your dentures are in a drawer because they just “don’t feel right”, they are loose or make sore spots in your mouth, you should see a Denturist to have them evaluated and possibly adjusted, relined or remade. If the teeth in your dentures are considerably worn out, talk to your Denturist about having some new ones made. It is also important to keep regular check up appointments to make sure your teeth are fitting properly as well as to check your mouth tissues for any changes. Your Denturist can tell you how often you need to come in for check-ups.

Caring for your DenturesProper care can keep your dentures and your mouth in good shape. You should brush your dentures every day with a soft bristled toothbrush to remove food and plaque. The same goes for your gums, and tongue. When you are not wearing your dentures, they should always be kept in water (not hot) or in a denture solution, recommended by your Denturist.

Don’t forget to Smile!With proper care and regular dental visits, your dentures should fit good and stay in good shape for a long time. Your Denturist will let you know when they need to be replaced. In the meantime, take care of your dentures, visit your Denturist regularly and get out there and smile.

5 TIPS FOR HELPING PARENTS

TRANSITION TO RETIREMENT LIVING

1. LEARN ABOUT RETIREMENT LIVING TOGETHER. Many seniors worry that moving into retirement living means a loss of independence when in fact, it is just the opposite. At a retirement community, you maintain your independence without the worry about day-to-day chores.

2. HAVE LUNCH. Your parents may already have friends living in retirement communities, and if so, they should visit with them and get a sense of what their lives are like in their new homes.

3. TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE. Many are concerned that once they enter into senior living, their adult children will not visit them as often because they are no longer needed to help around the house. Remind your parent that not only are you going to visit just as often, but your visits will be more enjoyable.

4. BE ON THE SAME PAGE AS YOUR SIBLINGS. It is important that you truly value and support your parent’s opinion, and avoid telling them what to do.

5. REMIND THEM IT’S THEIR DECISION. It is important that you truly value and support your parent’s opinion, and avoid telling them what to do.

FEATURE | Legacy gift to CHEO generates $4.6 millionWeldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting fi rm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to make a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO.

When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million. Moving forward 80 percent of the interest generated from this fund will be invested in medical equipment, research and hospital programs at CHEO. The remaining 20 percent will be reinvested to allow the fund to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4 million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $15.2 million.

The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. His legacy lives on and continues to make a difference in the lives of young patients at CHEO today, and for future generations.

As CHEO marked its 40th anniversary last year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefi t from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at [email protected] or (613) 738-3694.

FEATURE | Consult a hearing loss specialist Paul Dunlop has all the latest improvements

Paul Dunlop Hearing Aid Service has been serving the community for 34 years.

It’s never easy when one suspects a loss of hear-ing. It’s not something that happens suddenly but can occur gradually, eventually making it diffi cult to hear a conversation in a crowded room or listen to the television without having to turn the volume well up.

The decision to consult a hearing loss expert to determine if a hearing aid is needed also is no simple matter. For some, even admitting there is a problem is a hurdle they have trouble overcom-ing.

For 34 years, Paul Dunlop has been greeting individuals, assessing their needs, then fi tting them with equipment that ultimately brings the world back to them. Rarely, he says, do people want hearing aids. But after experiencing the im-proved quality of life these small pieces of modern technology can bring, they’re happy with their decision.

You are invited to have your hearing tested at Paul Dunlop Hearing Aid Service, located at 31 William St. E. in Smiths Falls. If you hear but don’t always understand what people are saying—people seem to mumble—you have to ask people to repeat—you have trouble understanding when more than one person is talking or when there are other noises, please come in for a consultation.

Even people now wearing a hear-ing aid or those who have been told nothing could be done to help them, may benefi t from the latest improvements.

“It’s continually improving,” Mr. Dunlop says of the technology being created to improve one’s hearing.

While many people are reluctant at fi rst, they soon realize their value and return to Dunlop for regular assessments and upgrades when needed.

If you have questions about your hearing and whether a hearing aid might be right for you, please call 613-283-7421.

The Benefi ts of a Quality Lift Chair.

It happens to many people. One day we realize that we actually cannot get out of our favorite recliner, or at least not quite like we used to. Sometimes it hurts, or just takes us a long time to get out. Sometimes we may be at risk for falls.

Lift chairs are like a helping hand to those suffering with issues that make it diffi cult or painful to get up from a chair. Quality lift chairs are capable of gently raising the occupant to a standing position for a safe and pain-free exit, or gently reclining the back and raising the footrest.

Double motor lift chairs available at www.Infi niChair.ca can achieve infi nite positions as their two motors control the footrest and backrest independently of each other. This means you can achieve the position most comfort-able for you, at the touch of a button.

Lift chairs are simple and attractive additions to any home. They help persons with mobility issues remain safe and comfortable as they age graciously in their own house or retirement home. Visit Infi niChair.ca to browse our chairs today! If you need assistance in fi nding the right chair for you, call us at 613-466-0222.

FEATURE | Managing Your Money Reverse mortgage, home equity line or downsizing?

Home is where the heart is and a lot of your money, too. The kids are gone, retirement is on the horizon, or for a number of other personal reasons, you may be at a point in your life where you’re looking to unlock the equity you’ve built in your home over the years. Let’s look at three popular strategies for making that happen.

Reverse mortgage This is a mortgage secured by the equity in your home but unlike a regular mortgage you do not have to make principle or interest payments – a reverse mortgage pays you. Generally available only to those over 55 years of age, a reverse mortgage allows you to receive up to 50 per cent of the value of your home and you can choose how you want to receive the money, either as a lump sum, in monthly payments, or a combination of the two. The money is tax-free, you keep ownership of all and remaining equity in, your home but the full amount of the reverse mortgage comes due when you sell your home or move out.

Home equity line of credit (HELOC)This is a relatively new cash management option that allows you to combine your mortgage, loans, line of credit, and chequing and savings accounts into a single line of credit based on the equity in your home. With a HELOC, you can access up to 80 per cent of the value of your home (reverse mortgages are capped at 50 per cent) and take any amount of money (up to your approved limit) on your own schedule. Many fi nancial institutions offer this HELOC option: You deposit money in your HELOC account (your paycheck, for example) and take money when you need it to cover day-to-day expenses or for any other reason. Any unused money from your

deposits is applied to your loan principal, reducing the loan balance and minimizing interest charges.

DownsizingWith the kids gone, your home may seem too big. You can replace it with a smaller one at a lower price, move to a cottage (if you have one) or by renting and using the difference to augment your income, invest for regular returns, or pay down debt.

There are pros and cons to each of these equity-liberating options. Ultimately, choosing the right one for you will depend on your fi nancial situation and the lifestyle you want now and in retirement. Your professional advisor can help you make the best choice for your situation as it is today and as you want it to be tomorrow.

Is it time to consider moving to a seniors’ residence? If small size and a personal touch are important toyou or your senior family member, Riverview Seniors’ Residence in Carleton Place is worth investigating. It is located overlooking the lovely Mississippi River, Riverside Park and the high school and ball diamond, just a 10-to-15-minute walk from downtown.

Even with its beautiful location and large, landscaped lot, Riverview is an affordable option for assisted living for seniors.

Assisted living means just that: help when and where seniors need it. Monthly fees include not just rental of your own unit, but all the services you may require. Specialized nursing care is also available for an hourly fee, so “aging-in-place” can happen as long as you and your family want.

All the rooms at Riverview are private, either basic studios with their own four-piece bathroom, or there are also fi ve one-bedroom suites for those who desire a little extra space. Rooms are bright and clean. Each features an emergency call-bell system, monitored by on-site staff 24 hours per day, so you will feel safe and secure, snug in your new surroundings.

Meals are home-cooked and delicious, served in the large, comfortable dining room overlooking the back yard and gardens. One of the best things in life is eating, and the staff and owners all appreciate that. The cook plans her menus according to foods in season, with taste, appearance and healthy nutrition in mind. She selects foods based on Canada’s Food Guide, for variety and appeal. Why not come for a tour and lunch on us, and see what we offer?

Cleanliness and safety are also so important to healthy living. Rooms are tidied daily, with a full deep-cleaning weekly, as well

as personal linen changing and laundry once per week. Assistance with a bath once per week is also available if needed. Oral medication administration and supervision is provided. All this is included in the monthly rates. Fire and food safety inspections occur regularly, with strict government guidelines enforced.

A very signifi cant feature of life in a retirement residence is activities. At Riverview, we offer planned games, outings and events, as well as many opportunities for informal friendship and chats over a hot cup of coffee or tea. Our monthly activity calendar lists times and events, with something for everyone: bingo, euchre, trivia, gardening and games, to name only a few.

You will be encouraged and supported in staying active in your senior years at Riverview, keeping mind, body and spirit moving. The owner is a registered nurse, whose passion is promoting health. The staff also shares the mission of preserving the health and happiness of our residents.

Why not come out and explore life at Riverview? Have a tour, meet some of the current residents, and try a meal on us. Our doors are always open, and we look forward to meeting you!

FEATURE | South East Community Care Access Centre

CCAC delivers care in the communityCommunity Care Access Centres (CCACs) get you the care you need in your home and in the community. This care is focused on optimizing your health and independence; supporting you through a health-care transition (for example, discharge from hospital); or providing care following an illness or compromised health status. We are a caring team of health professionals who can provide support in your home, at school, or in the community. How do I know what services I need?Once you are referred to the CCAC and become a patient, you will be assigned a Care Coordinator. She or he will provide an assessment and help determine what services and supports you may need.

What is a Care Coordinator?CCAC Care Coordinators are regulated health professionals, with expertise in nursing, social work, occupational therapy, physiotherapy or speech therapy. Care Coordinators are connected to every part of the health-care system and can serve as your single-point of contact in obtaining services and information. Care Coordinators use their professional health knowledge and assessment skills to understand your individual needs, making recommendations based on your needs and goals. We work hand in hand with you and your family to fi nd out what care you need, and then work with you to develop a care plan to supplement your care that is right for you – whether it’s nursing care, meal delivery, a day program, or help fi nding a family doctor. How do I get care?Community care can take many forms – from nursing care to personal support. In order to determine what services are right for you, the CCAC will set up an assessment with a Care Coordinator.

Nursing services are provided in

clinics as well as in the home. In some cases, your treatment may begin at home and as your condition improves you may become eligible to attend the clinic.

Clinics were designed to allow patients the opportunity to live their lives more independently by allowing them the fl exibility to make an appointment that fi ts their schedule. These are not walk-in clinics and all appointments are pre-scheduled by the clinic. Only clients that are admitted to CCAC can attend a CCAC nursing clinic.

Clinics are open 7 days/week and offer a variety of appointment times. CCAC Nursing Clinics are conveniently located throughout the area to minimize required travel time.

Effective use of clinics ensures nurses are able to see the growing number of those homebound individuals who need care at home at their most vulnerable time.

The South East CCAC has run fi ve clinics since 2009. In a survey of more than 900 patients, 98 per cent indicated that they were satisfi ed with the care they received in the clinic setting.

Clinic locations include Bancroft, Belleville, Brockville, Gananoque, Kingston, Perth, Picton, Prescott, Smiths Falls, Trenton, Napanee and Northbrook.
