Line 1 LRT loses power, malfunctions in pair of weekend incidents
Social Sharing Technical problems caused the O-Train Line 1 to stop operating twice over the past three days, according to the city's acting general manager of transit services. At around 6:30 p.m. Friday, a power outage halted the east-west LRT line between Tunney's Pasture and Rideau stations, according to a memo from Troy Charter to Ottawa city council. Replacement R1 buses ran until the train came back online, Charter said. Then on Sunday morning, Line 1 didn't launch between Tunney's Pasture and Tremblay stations due to a "malfunction with the switch mechanism at the crossover near uOttawa station," Charter wrote in a followup memo. Once again, replacement buses were called into service. The line was running again between Tunney's Pasture and Tremblay by around 12:45 p.m., Charter said. Line 1 service was already being scaled back this weekend as part of scheduled work on the line's eastern extension from Blair to Trim stations, as well as work on the St-Laurent station tunnel. The power disruption and the switch mechanism malfunction were not related, Charter said. Nor were either related to the eastern extension work, he added. Due to the scheduled work, replacement buses continue to run Sunday between Hurdman and Blair stations. Full service is expected to resume across the entirety of Line 1 on Monday morning.

University of Windsor joins national network that helps military members balance higher education
The University of Windsor is seen in this file photo. (Sanjay Maru/CTV News Windsor) The University of Windsor has joined a national network of postsecondary institutions that collaborate to improve access and outcomes for Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and their families. A signing ceremony was held Tuesday that saw UWindsor officially join the Canadian Military, Veteran and Family Connected Campus Consortium (CMVF3C). Lieutenant Commander Chris Elliott, Commanding Officer of HMCS Hunter, said the goal of the consortium is to develop a more supportive and understanding environment to help military connected learners achieve success at their institution. 'It's a commitment to make sure that their situations are understood and we're not putting anybody in a situation to have to choose whether or not their studies or military service and the related things that go with that are competing priorities,' Elliott said. 'So the goal is to navigate some of those challenges that may arise so that people can pursue both and achieve success.' Elliott said some examples include universities being flexible with exam dates, or working with the university to move up teaching placements so a CAF member is available in time for a scheduled deployment. He said one of the key initiatives the consortium looks at transfer credits and prior learning assessments. 'So making sure that if a student was doing full-time studies and was moved somewhere because of military service, that we'd have a liaison representative at each one of the post secondary institutions that would support that member through the transition so they're not losing anything on that transition because of service to the country,' Elliott said. Elliott said he currently has over 30 sailors enrolled at UWindsor, and countless graduates that make up his unit. 'The University of Windsor has consistently produced future leaders of this organization, myself included, so a very humbling and proud moment to stand there and bring these two worlds together so that we're really building a stronger bridge between the local military and academic communities,' Elliott said. Some of the participating universities include Alberta, Toronto, St. Mary's in Halifax, and Carlton. — Dustin Coffman/AM800 News
