Anti-abortion protestors target George Brown College LETTERS AND COMMENTS: Re: Anti-abortion protestors target George Brown College Slave ownership and termination of a pregnancy is comparing apples to oranges.

Here’s a fact these people fail to understand: women have abortions for many reasons.

They may have health issues.

They may have been a rape victim.

They may suffer from addiction.

They may not be capable (mentally, financially, physically, or otherwise) of raising a child.

The pregnancy simply may have been unplanned.

Whatever the reason, why is it okay to only fight for a life before it leaves the womb?

Why do they not fight for those lives that have already left the womb? Children that are homeless, in foster care, in abusive situations—where are the protestors for those situations?

Tiffany White on dialognews.ca This was horrific. Not cool they did that right in front of our school. It was akin to assault.

GBC students confront protestors holding graphic signs depicting abortions twice in two weeks KELSEY RAMBARAN REPORTER-EDITOR

Students at St. James campus were outraged to find anti-abortion protesters holding graphic signs depicting abortions in front of the entrance on Feb. 22 and again on Monday, March 6.

George Brown College (GBC) students across all campuses are facing the prospect of anti-abortion protesters, because Toronto Against Abortion (TAA) said they plan to hold weekly protests for the rest of the semester.

Julia Temor, a post-graduate human resources management student at GBC, saw the images on her way to her midterm examination and said she found them disturbing.

“I understand that as a group protesting abortions, they wanted to instil shock into people with graphic imagery,” she said. “However, I think that having a rational discussion about why they choose to be pro-life would be a more effective method than attempting to scare people into agreeing with what the pro-life group feels is morally correct.”

said their aim is “to make abortion unthinkable.”

Michelle Pettis, the Community Action Centre (CAC) co-odinator at the Student Association (SA) of GBC, countered the anti-abortion protestors with a banner with a heart on it and handed out pro-choice pins to students on both dates.

The Dialog is funded by the SA. The anti-abortion protestors left shortly afterward being confronted on March 6 and went to Ryerson University, where they were again opposed by the Ryerson Reproductive Justice Collective and members of the GBC community.

“I’m thankful for a GBC student community that was quick to respond and care for each other, including being clear that anti-choicers’ mythfilled misogynist messaging and hate is not welcome here,” said Pettis. “Students proved united as reproductive freedom fighters.”

campus, is currently the only George Brown student with the TAA and said he plans to be at every protest at the college.

When asked why he thought he had a right to tell women what to do with their bodies Douros said, “I don’t have to be a slave owner to tell a slave owner that what you’re doing is wrong. I don’t have to be that particular person. I don’t have to go through that situation.”

This is just one of many similar protests that have taken place at various university and college campuses across the city.

TAA protests regularly at Ryerson University, where Students for Life at Ryerson (SFLR) has joined them at past protests. SFLR declined to comment for this story.

CCBR also protested at Sheridan College this fall where abortion rights advocates hung up sheets to keep students from seeing the graphic signs.

Blaise Alleyne, who was also at the Feb. 22 protest, is an activist with TAA, the Uni-

versity of Toronto Students for Life (UTSFL) and CCBR. Alleyne said post-secondary students are the biggest demographic for abortions, so they want to open a discourse with them while they are forming their opinions.

According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information statistics for 2014, of the total reported abortions, the under 25 age group accounted for 39 per cent of reported abortions, the over 25 age group accounted for 54.8 per cent and ages were unknown for 6.2 per cent.

Hannah Reaburn, a co-ordinator for the Centre for Women and Trans People at Ryerson, said the protests make campuses an unsafe space for students.

“These protests are incredibly harmful to students. The anti-choice demonstrators chose imagery meant to traumatize and re-traumatize students and community members,” said Reaburn.

Initiative to donate culinary students’ creations has produced around 1,600 meals for food bank clients DESHAWNA DOOKIE REPORTER-EDITOR

Last year, chef Jason Inniss realized there was a problem in the culinary classrooms.

“I was walking through a classroom and I noticed that students were throwing away food that they had created but they couldn’t take home for a variety of reasons,” Inniss said.

The reasons for the food being pitched varied, from having to go to class, work or for

dietary reasons. But, in any case, Inniss said that some of the food students were creating was being through out.

In May 2016, Inniss reached out to Shaun Shepard, the Student Association’s (SA) former community services co-ordinator. Together they developed a distribution system wherein students and chefs had the option to donate their classroom creations to the food bank.

The SA funds The Dialog.

“So everyday depending on what the classes are (the students) can eat the food that they produce, they can take it home or they can donate it. Garbage is not an option,” Inniss explained.

When culinary students donate their food, it is put in containers and then sent to the chef school’s inventory control centre, where Nicholas Persaud-Daniels, the centre’s culinary inventory/gate clerk,

sees that it’s refrigerated.

The food bank comes once a day to collect the food containers, and from there they’re available almost every day for any student to pick up.

“Last year there were 850 students at GBC who used the food bank,” Inniss said.

“Since September we’ve created 1,600 meals to donate to students—and students are really impressed with the food that they’re getting.”

Some of the meals that have been donated include roasted lamb, red Thai curry, falafel sandwiches and homemade soups.

“If we were to put a price tag on it, we’re looking at least $25 a plate definitely,” food bank lead Greg Philip explained.

“People say they’ve been to food banks on the street and we never liked it but the food bank is strong here, and it’s even stronger now because of culinary school donations.”

Tax clinic to help students to help students Eligible students can have taxes filed by Canadian Revenue Agency-approved volunteers ALEX RESENDES REPORTER-EDITOR

As intercession week fades and exams approach, many students’ nerves will begin to fray. When you suddenly add filing income taxes to the mix, often for the first time in a student’s life, the spring workload can seem overwhelming.

If you’re a George Brown College (GBC) student, however, you may be in luck. The Student Association (SA), which funds The Dialog, is hosting a free tax clinic for a third consecutive year.

The tax clinic, which is currently accepting applications on a first-come-first-serve basis, will be operating for two weeks from March 13 to 24,

with forty volunteers working hard to put an anticipated 180-plus students on firm financial footing.

And you can rest assured that your taxes are being handled professionally, even if you don’t pay a cent for their services.

“Volunteers are approved by the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency),” said Ronnie Cruz, SA community services coordinator. “Before they’re accepted as an income tax volunteer they have to go through a long and tough screening process.”

Most volunteers are fellow GBC business students, Cruz added, gaining valuable industry experience while also doing good for their classmates.

She also cautioned that not all students will be eligible to

access the tax clinic’s services.

To use the SA’s tax clinic, applicants must fall within certain income brackets specified by the CRA, and only simple returns will be processed, which means self-employed students or those who have declared bankruptcy, among others, might be out of luck.

If you aren’t eligible for the tax clinic, not all is lost.

“We have a list of alternative tax clinics available around the city that (students) can go to, they might be able to help out,” Cruz said, adding that they would still have to meet the CRA’s income threshold.

New college funding formula revealed No change in core funding for the next three years MENG MA REPORTER-EDITOR

By 2020-21, a new college funding formula will be in full swing, as the 24 public colleges in Ontario continue to work with the government to plan how to finance core academic operations.

Mark Nesbitt, vice-president of corporate services at George Brown College (GBC), presented the new funding formula at the college council meeting on Feb. 16.

According to the presentation documents, the new formula will introduce a funding “corridor” that will see domestic grant funding from the province set at a fixed rate based on the average domestic enrolment from the 2015-16, 16-17, and 17-18 school years.

Once that funding is set in 2019-20, it will remain stable, even if domestic student enrolment increases by up to 3 per cent or falls by less than 7 per cent.

“Colleges can look forward to more predictable and stable funding, even as enrolment fluctuates or declines in some communities as a result of demographic shifts that are beyond our control,” wrote Tanya Blazina, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, in a statement to The Dialog.

The council meeting revealed that GBC will receive around $108 million for core

academic operations for the 2017-18 school year.

The overall level of funding likely won’t change much.

But the new formula will get rid of the small amount of funding that was attached to key performance indicators and instead allocates 5 per cent of core funding in a new “differentiation envelope.”

Nesbitt said the new formula shouldn’t have any impact on students, but the college must figure out how to cover costs like wage inflation and hydro.

The presentation document outlined that the differentiation envelope will be based on the new Strategic Mandate Agreements (SMA) currently being negotiated between the colleges and the ministry.

The document said SMAs will weigh student experience, innovation in teaching and learning, access and equity, applied research and economic and community development.

“In the coming months, the college will negotiate the mandate agreement with the province,” said Nesbitt. “We need to pick through what’s the right mix, so far, those choices haven’t been voiced yet.”

Blazina said that the SMAs, “will allocate a portion of their funding based on a college’s unique strengths and their ability to deliver even more positive outcomes for students.”

Moving forward, Nesbitt said that the college has opportunities to adopt better IT systems as a self-service option. Meanwhile, collaborations between the different programs like sharing classroom space are also in the college’s future.

“We often don’t have as much as money as we wish we had for activities and staff,” said Nesbitt. “That’s just budgeting reality, that’s just the that world we live in.”

George Brown College reacts to U.S. travel ban Student Association board passes motion against Islamophobia

ALEX RESENDES REPORTER-EDITOR

On Jan. 27, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries, causing chaos at borders and airports around the globe.

Two days later, a gunman entered the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec and opened fire on the assembled faithful, killing six and wounding 19.

While the executive order was overturned by a U.S. court, Trump signed a new order on March 6 halting visa processing for 90 days for travellers from Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Libya. The order is set to go into effect on March 16.

George Brown College (GBC) students can rest assured that they have their school in their corner. The message from every level of staff and faculty is unified and it is unwavering—you are valued here, you are not alone and we will be there for you.

“I cannot state more definitively that we stand in

solidarity with our Muslim students, faculty, staff and the wider Islamic community, both in Canada and abroad,” wrote GBC president Anne Sado in an email sent to students and faculty on Feb. 13.

Sado’s email said that due to the uncertainty, “some areas of the college have decided to hold off on travel to the U.S. for industry visits or field placements for the time being.”

A U.S. consulate-facilitated meeting with students to address concerns regarding cross-border travel was scheduled for March 1. The session was cancelled by the consulate for unspecified reasons.

Sado’s message of solidarity was quickly mirrored by the Student Association (SA), which funds The Dialog.

At the SA board of directors meeting on Feb. 13, a motion passed condemning Islamophobia and reaffirming a commitment to “stand in solidarity with Muslim, racialized and refugee communities.”

These higher-profile statements emphasize support from the very top on down.

But that support is just as enthusiastic from the staff who are on the front-lines for the students most likely

to feel targeted by a hostile political climate.

“We’re here to help,” said Ashley Sullivan, manager of international student integration and support at GBC’s international centre. “We’re here for them and we stand with our students to make sure that they are able to get connected with the resources that they need.”

While all students can seek out counselling and guidance through the counselling department, Sullivan added that international students can receive tailored counselling addressing the unique needs and concerns they face every Thursday at the International Centre.

“We have respect for diversity. In fact, it really is our strength at George Brown; it makes us the college that we are,” said John Porter, director of international admissions and student services.

“It’s not just something that we say, I actually really believe in it, and I think a lot of people who work here and study here believe that too. So we want to have that positive message against all that’s happening.”

SA executive board members to get a raise

ALEX RESENDES REPORTER-EDITOR

Spring general meeting sees SA executives and campus directors get a raise, while education and constituency reps take pay cut STEVE CORNWELL ASSISTANT EDITOR

In a sparsely attended Spring General Meeting of the Student Association (SA), several changes to the bylaws passed, including a 24 per cent raise for executive positions.

Roughly 15 students showed up to the meeting, including just nine of the 20 members of the SA’s board of directors.

Under the old pay structure, executives were paid $28,500 annually based on a 40 hour work week. Under the new bylaws, the executives will make $17 an hour or $35,360 a year pro-rated.

The directors of operations and communications and internal work full-time throughout the year, while the directors of education and campus life work full-time from May 1 to Aug. 31 and part-time from Sept. 1 to April 30.

The SA funds The Dialog.

Brittney DaCosta, the SA’s director of campus life said that under the previous compensation structure, the executives weren’t making enough for what the job entailed. She hopes that the new pay will attract more students to run for the board.

“We’re not only benefiting ourselves, we’re benefiting future students,” said DaCosta.

Riddhi Modi, the SA’s director of communications and internal, believes the pay increase is modest and hopes that it will encourage students to stay on the board through the challenges of the job.

“Many of the people drop out because maybe they are not able to take the pressure,

or maybe they think they’re not being paid accordingly,” said Modi. “Even if you go out for a customer service (job) you can get more than what’s here.”

SA business Rep. Ron Greenberg urged members to reject the proposed changes, and raised concerns that it was a conflict of interest for the executive committee to vote on their own wage increase.

Meanwhile, the SA’s education and constituency reps will see a 25.9 per cent decrease in their wages. They previously were paid $5,000 a year and will now make $3,305 at $14.25 an hour.

Carla Rudberg, a business marketing student at the college, said she was disappointed that the constituency representatives will be taking a pay cut, while the executives get a raise.

“My main issue was the fact that the executives implied that they did less work than the reps do, yet they wanted more money,” said Rudberg. She added that until the day of the general meeting, Rudberg had not seen SA executives before.

Campus directors will be getting a pay increase of 5.85 per cent, making $7,410 under the new pay system, as opposed to $7,000 previously.

Bylaws were also passed at the meeting to automatically remove directors if they don’t meet their job descriptions for a month, and to make all members of the board of directors part of the SA regardless of whether they are currently enrolled at George Brown.

However, campus directors and education representatives will still have to be registered at their campus or program during elections.

Additional bylaw changes include: • “Executive director” is renamed “general manager” for the SA’s top staffer.

• Adds a black students constituency representative to the board of directors.

• Directors must maintain a GPA of 2.0.

• Relaxes term limit of executive members from two terms total, to two terms within a five-year period starting at the last day of the end of their second term.

• Evaluating the performance of board members added to the director of communications and internal and director of operations’ job descriptions.

• Director of communications and internal to serve as the board representative to The Dialog’s editorial committee.

• Limits the director of communications and internal and the director of operations to a maximum of one course per semester.

• Adds an additional halfpay to executive members who fill two positions through appointment.

• It will be mandatory that all minutes from the board are available on the SA’s website.

• Minimum notice required for members’ meetings changed from five days to 10 days, excluding statutory holidays.

• Number of proxy votes a member can carry at a members’ meeting reduced from five to two.

• Elections rules moved to “Best Practices Manual” giving the board the power to change the rules by a 2/3 majority vote.

• Bans candidates from running for more than one position in an election.

• Bans the withdrawal of candidates from SA elections after the close of the nomination period.

A season of progress for Huskies women’s basketball Stability and culture change are front and centre for rebuilding program PHILIP IVER REPORTER-EDITOR

After having three coaches in five years, the Huskies women’s basketball team finally has stability.

To be sure, there were growing pains during head coach Warren Williams’s first season at the helm. Neither team nor coach were happy with their 1-8 record heading into the holiday break.

The squad responded to their listless first half of the season with a furious charge down the stretch, which saw George Brown go 4-4 in the

new year and narrowly miss the playoffs. It was here that Williams’s vision began to come to fruition.

“I thought it was a good season, a good introduction to implementing a new culture here at George Brown,” said Williams. “We did a lot of things that we really wanted to accomplish.”

Among those early checkboxes? Introducing an up-tempo style and trying to hold the team to a certain standard of play, game in and game out. But in a program featuring so much turnover as of late, affirming that coach

and institution were the right fit for one another may have been paramount.

The results have been good so far. According to manager of athletics and recreation, Melanie Gerin-Lajoie, Williams’s emphasis on culture and team dynamic align with the values she wants guiding not just the varsity program, but the department as a whole.

The women’s head coach also has a warm relationship with his counterpart, men’s team coach, Jonathan Smith.

This is in no small part due to their both possessing the

“urge to win” Gerin-Lajoie wants to bring back to George Brown—an urge balanced with developing people first.

“They’re great as heads of our basketball program, because they’re both so passionate about the sport,” said Gerin-Lajoie. “They’re passionate about coaching, they’re passionate about their athletes succeeding on and off the court, and so I think they balance each other very well.”

Next season’s team will deal with a number of departures, among them George Brown women’s basketball all-time leading scorer Angel Mbikay. With that said, Williams is looking to augment the “great core” he has coming back, one including Ontario Colleges Athletic Association’s (OCAA) first-team all-star Tianna Sullivan and OCAA all-rookie Kiyann Grimaldo.

“As far as recruiting, we want to get athletic,” said Williams. “Our style is pressure, pressure, pressure. We talk about no-huddle basketball, we talk about creating chaos, so we really want to get some more athletes in to compliment what we already have.”

Given their strong finish to the season, expectations will be raised in 2017-18.

With that in mind, Mbikay’s advice to next year’s Huskies was simple.

“Just come in with the fight, just keep it going.”

OCAA gold just out of Huskies reach Men’s basketball team off to national championship after Sheridan wins gold in 76-74 heartbreaker PHILIP IVER REPORTER-EDITOR

“Massive success.”

Men’s basketball head coach Jonathan Smith used those words to describe his team’s season, and he’s right.

While the Huskies dropped a 76-74 heartbreaker to Sheridan in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) finals, the result still marked George Brown’s finest performance in a generation.

It’s been 27 years since the Huskies took home an OCAA medal of any kind, and the best may be yet to come. By competing in the gold medal game against Sheridan, George Brown booked their ticket to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship. The Huskies will play on the national stage for the first time in 41 years at Holland College, P.E.I. from March 15 to 18.

“We’re right on track and right on time with what (coach Jonathan Smith) had as his

long-term plan for this program, and it’s exciting to be around,” said manager of athletics and recreation Melanie Gerin-Lajoie. “They’re playing great basketball; their team dynamic is outstanding.”

George Brown has put the country on notice. The Huskies

pushed Canada’s top-ranked collegiate team to the brink, with a last-second basket being the difference between gold and silver.

“No one thought we were going to be even close to this game, they were laughing in the beginning,” said swingman

Matthew Bukovec, who has been to nationals twice before with Humber. “We battled hard, the game was close and it could have went either way.”

For his efforts this season, Smith was named the OCAA’s East Division coach of the year and OCAA nominee for CCAA coach of the year. In his fifth year at the Huskies’ helm, Smith said it’s not the coaching staff that makes the program, it’s the players.

“As I’ve told them, I would not be in any other change room in the country,” said Smith. “They’ve given me all they got, blood, sweat and tears all year long.”

Throughout the regular season, George Brown’s attack was highlighted by Ajahmo Clarke, as the guard marched on to become the province’s alltime leading scorer. At provincials, with opponents focused on shutting Clarke down, the Huskies’ depth took centre stage.

Each match saw players other than Clarke answer the bell, whether it was Kevon Mascoe, Dejazmatch James, Jordan James, Ted Johnson, the list goes on.

Mascoe in particular rose to the occasion, cementing a quarter-final win against Fanshawe and posting an incredible 32 points versus Sheridan in the finals. The Huskies guard was rewarded for his efforts with a tournament all-star nod, after what was a coming out party on the provincial stage.

“This was one of our goals, to win the provincial championship, but we came up short,” said Mascoe. “I’m happy with our team’s effort and we’ll get (Sheridan) back at nationals.”

As for Clarke, the guard is already capping off his brilliant collegiate career on a high. Playing his fifth and final year of eligibility, George Brown has helped him to his best provincial finish, in a season which earned CCAA All-Canadian and OCAA first team all-star honours.

The CCAA Championship represents one last hurrah for the province’s all-time leading scorer.

“I’m going to go hard at nationals,” said Clarke. “Play like there’s no tomorrow, just go hard, leave it all out on the floor.”

After American Apparel My search for ethical clothing, in my own lazy way STEVE CORNWELL ASSISTANT EDITOR

When one of my high school teachers came into the Levi’s store I worked at as a teenager, I had glimpse into my zero thinking fashion future.

As I watched him select and buy seven pairs of jeans, each the same style and colour, I thought “that’s some serious dedication to thinking as little as possible about your clothes. That will never be me.”

But after Gildan purchased American Apparel in January, finalizing the Los Angeles-based brand’s almost 10year spiral into bankruptcy, it occurred to me that I’m not actually that different from my teacher who committed to giving zero fucks about what pants he wore.

For me, not thinking about my clothes was about relying on American Apparel’s oldtimey promise to pay their workers decent wages, while also providing benefits, daycare and training.

In stacking my wardrobe with American Apparel, I used to count on looking halfway decent while not contributing to the ugly pitfalls of fast fashion, which include low-quality clothes, dismal labour practices, and as evidenced by the death of more than 1,100 workers in the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh, a callous disregard for workers’ basic safety.

With American Apparel slipping into the hands of Gildan, a global company based out of Montreal that has faced accusations of poor labour practices in Honduras and Haiti, it seems I have to start thinking about what I’m

going to wear again.

For Leah Barrett, a professor in George Brown’s school of fashion studies, American Apparel’s demise shows that brands with more local supply chains and higher costs are going to have “really dig in” to figure out what consumers value beyond price.

Barrett said she is not exactly sure what it would take to make local supply chains, and their higher price tags more attractive to North American consumers, but she sees pushing back against the allure of fast fashion as an uphill battle.

“Fast fashion was just such an attractive combination of latest runway looks, great prices, available everywhere, I mean it was so easy to just go for it,” Barrett said.

For George Brown fashion student Angela Frias, knowing that similar clothes were available for cheaper in other stores was part of the reason why she wasn’t buying American Apparel very often in recent years, even while respecting their efforts at better labour practice.

“Of course, because I’m

a student you try to save as much as you can,” Frias said.

“So when it came to American Apparel, I love their clothes but it was just too expensive.”

By the time I visited American Apparel’s Queen Street West location during its final day on Jan. 29, the scene was more reminiscent of a yard sale than a high-priced basics clothing store. Ninety-five per cent of the clothes that weren’t xxx-small or xxx-large were gone, as well as the aura of an international brand with revenues that were once in the hundreds of millions.

With the garment and fashion industry now largely a global phenomenon, Barrett said that those seeking to make ethical clothing choices within their means will have to do some extra legwork around understanding how a brand’s clothes are made.

For me, the legwork so far has been asking my generally smarter and more conscientious friends what brands they wear. One of the standouts in my search so far has been Toronto’s own Muttonhead, a brand which promises that all of its clothing is designed

and made in Canada.

According to Muttonhead’s co-founder Meg Sinclair, this local focus, while a central value, also allows for the brand to have a more hands-on relationship with the production of the clothes.

“We work with a lot of local manufacturers, our lead times are lot faster and we have a lot more control over what’s actually happening at the factories,” she said. “If something goes wrong we can go up there and check in and come up with a solution.”

As Sinclair and I discussed Muttonhead’s operations, which include stores in Roncesvalles and the Beaches, I’m compelled to congratulate her on running a brand that seems to steer clear of fast fashion.

When I asked Sinclair what’s wrong about fast fashion and she said, “everything,” it’s obvious it was never a question for her.

As I try to forget my fling with American Apparel, I wouldn’t be surprised if Muttonhead becomes my new main squeeze, helping me look good, be ethical and give zero fucks about my clothes.

The Stairs: an unflinching look at George Brown’s neighbours Film a humanizing portrayal of drug use and harm reduction in Toronto’s Regent Park PHILIP IVER REPORTER-EDITOR

For those in search of an honest, unflinching look at drug use and harm reduction, The Stairs is required viewing.

Screened at George Brown earlier in the year, the film is primarily centred on three long-time Regent Park residents, Marty Thompson, Roxanne Smith and Greg Bell.

Filmed over the span of five years, it follows these individuals over the course of their everyday lives, drug use and all. According to director Hugh Gibson, part of

the impetus was making a film that would change the conversation around drug use and street involvement.

To the film’s credit, The Stairs allows its subjects to tell their stories in their own words. The result is an often gripping affair. When Smith speaks about her history as a sex worker and having 30 seconds to decide if a person is going to take her life, there are no punches pulled.

But by seeking to define its subjects as people, rather than by their drug use, the film never feels exploitative.

With its naked portrayal of harm reduction, The Stairs makes a compelling case for

meeting service users where they are, even for something as simple as injection kits.

“It’s not about what works in the grand spectrum of things,” Smith said at the screening. “It’s about what works for the person in front of you right now.”

Despite the film’s heavy subject matter, The Stairs has a remarkable sense of humour. This is thanks to the charm and quirks of the cast’s personalities, and their natural wit gives the documentary balance throughout the film.

“For people who haven’t had the lived experience of street drug use, peer work

and harm reduction work, to be able to show people as complete, legitimate, brilliant, resilient human beings who do not have to have a clean journey from one place to another...is crucial,” said Griffin Epstein, a professor with George Brown’s school of social and community services.

Their stories are juxtaposed with extended shots of development and urban renewal. While these shots are never directly commented upon, the questions they raise of responsibility and displacement are particularly relevant given George Brown’s location.

“We’re really close to Regent Park, and that is currently undergoing significant urban renewal, neighbourhood change and gentrification that we’re implicated in just by being present,” said Epstein.

While there is certainly risk in The Stairs’ individualized portrayals, its humanizing approach is a lesson in the inherent dignity of people.

“Take away that homelessness, take away the smell, the looks and everything else and just say, ‘Hi, how’re you doing? Good morning,’” Thompson advised those without lived experience. “Take it from there.”

Meet culinary student chef Raquel Latorre Latorre serves up tilapia for budgetfriendly meal KELSEY RAMBARAN REPORTER-EDITOR

Raquel Latorre came from Brazil to study culinary management at George Brown College (GBC) because she had heard it was the best in the industry.

“I think it’s a good program because it matches not only the culinary skills, but also the management part, which is really important,” she said.

Latorre’s family is Italian, and so she said she “grew up in the kitchen” “I’ve been cooking my whole life, since I was a little girl, but I’m really into baking,” she said. “It makes me happy to see people enjoying what I’m making. That’s what makes me so into cooking. It’s a sign of love.”

Latorre chose to do culinary rather than baking to improve her skills.

“We never know the opportunities we might get and we also have baking in this program so I’m not wasting a degree,” she said.

Inside the classroom, Latorre said she’s been inspired by chef Dario Tomaselli.

Latorre said she likes Tomaselli because he teaches his students about the de-

manding and difficult aspects of the cooking world.

Outside of GBC, Latorre looks up to Brazilian chef Alex Atala, whose restaurant Deo Optimo Maximo was ranked fourth best in the world by the S. Pellegrino in 2013.

After school, Latorre said she would like to get a job in a pastry shop to develop her skills deeper before opening her own Brazilian bakery café.

“I don’t want to go back home, that’s why I’m investing so much money in Toronto because I think it’s a great city to live, especially for culinary,” she said.

For Latorre, the biggest challenge in the kitchen is the language barrier. Her first language is Portuguese.

“Although I do speak English, it’s kind of hard to go

Raquel Latorre’s tilapia recipe 1 kg white fish - we used tilapia; 6 tomatoes, cubed; 3 onions, cubed; 6 gloves of garlic, minced; A bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped; 20 ml olive oil; Salt and pepper to season;

Method: 1. Season the fish with salt and pepper to your taste.

2. Mix all the cubed vegetables in a bowl.

3. Heat the olive oil in the pain and add half of the vegetables, covering the bottom of the pan.

4. Add the fish on top. Cover with the rest of the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and cover the pan.

5. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.

so specific because I think the language barrier will always be there,” she said.

The tilapia recipe Latorre chose to showcase is a family recipe.

“Those are ingredients you find easily (in Brazil), so it reminds me of my home town and that’s why I wanted to do this recipe.”

Shopping for psychotherapy with Inkblot Inkblot counselling services offers an alternative for more accessible mental health care DESHAWNA DOOKIE REPORTER-EDITOR

Mental health and what mental health therapy means can look very different to everyone, which is why Dr. Arash Zahoor created Inkblot, an online counselling service which caters to these individual needs.

As a general practitioner in Hamilton, he started to

see patterns emerging in his services. Being a member of the College of Physicians allowed him to practice psychotherapy, although this was not his initial intention.

After finding himself continually offering counselling services to his patients, he realized that in fact many did not have any alternative options for psychotherapy.

“Initially it started more practically. I had patients that would travel hours to come see me and so I started looking for a way to make it easier for them,” said Zahoor.

In his search for more accessible psychotherapy for his patients, he developed his own solution, a psychotherapy service called Inkblot. Inkblot is an online video counselling service that caters to individual counselling needs.

Again, every person will have different needs when it comes to their mental health,

The Inkblot program allows students from all walks of life to gain access to counsellors who can help with a wide variety of mental health needs. Photo: Deshawna Dookie/The Dialog

and Zahoor tries to address each individual need with Inkblot. Someone who is trying Inkblot for the first time will be able to input what their main preferences are in a counsellor. From there they will be given several options to choose from out of the 50 registered psychotherapists the service has available.

“Essentially, students can shop around online for free until they find the right therapist,” Julie Sabine said, who is an Inkblot psychotherapist.

There are a variety of things that students may feel are most important to find in their therapist, and

Zahoor has taken each of these into account.

“Specific issues only certain therapists have expertise at, such as certain gender identity issues, other forms of identities, cultural issues, and relationship issues,” said Zahoor. “There are areas where someone would be required to have the cultural literacy of that language or understanding of that domain to be able to really make a big difference,” he stated.

Inkblot psychotherapists come from various parts of the world, including North America, eastern Europe, the

Middle East, and Southeast Asia to name a few. They speak various languages and have expertise in different domains relating to cultural as well as religious perspectives, allowing for another level of accessibility.

Having access to people who can provide the best care for you, even if they don’t live next door to you is something Inkblot attempts to do for their clients.

“With psychotherapy, it is all about the relationship between the client and the therapist, it is so important,” said Sabine.

Being able to have continuous interactions with your therapist is something that is essential if you really want to work through something.

“You need more than three sessions to do this, you could need 10, that’s where Inkblot comes in,” adds Sabine.

Students can get their first session free, and pricing for sessions after are currently $75, although Dr. Zahoor ensures that prices are negotiable dependent on the individual services.

Users can do their Inkblot sessions from their computer as well as their android device, with Apple products being added in the summer.
