The City of Edmonton does not know how much money the Canadian Finals Rodeo brings to the city — and it won’t know until after this year’s event. While Northlands has claimed the event draws $30- to $50-million annually in economic activity, Edmonton Tourism plans to conduct its first formal economic study on CFR this year. The CFR has been in Edmonton for 43 years. “There’s a couple of different numbers that have been bandied about, and our intent is for this year through Tourism to do a formal assessment with stan-

dardized protocol and criteria,” said Edmonton Events executive director Candice Stasynec. She said she has heard numbers as low as $19 or $20 million, which would be comparable to the FIFA 2015 Women’s World Cup. She noted $20 million is still a “significant” return on investment, given the city’s typical contribution of $130,000 annually in addition to smaller Rodeo Week events like the Chilli Cook Off. Mayor Don Iveson announced in May that the city had withdrawn its bid for the CFR, saying the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) was demanding a deal that would leave taxpayers on the hook for an unacceptable amount of risk. Three months later, the Oilers Entertainment Group announced a 10-day “western lifestyle” party to take its place in conjunction with Professional Bull Riding. But last week, news emerged that Northlands had struck a deal to bring the event back to Edmonton’s Northlands Coliseum.

The director of the new Edmonton Oilers pre-game video says he did not intend to stir up controversy by filming at a local viewpoint deemed unsafe by the city The new opening video, directed by Michael Maxxis for the 2016-17 NHL season, features Edmonton Oilers rightwinger Jordan Eberle sitting on top of “The End of the World,” a site above the now-closed Keillor Road. at the top of the river bank on Saskatchewan Drive in Belgravia. In an email statement to Metro, Maxxis said he discovered the

It wasn’t patrolled,” he said. “I feel very bad that it has generated any negative feelings from anyone towards the video.” Mark Torjusen, a City of Edmonton spokesperson, said the city plans to share its concerns about filming at the site with the Oilers. There’s a plan to transform the area by building a viewing deck, but construction is not scheduled to begin until 2017, he said. In the meantime, the area remains off-limits. “It’s just not a safe place to be,” said Torjusen.

Food bank reports ‘shocking’ demand social assistance
University sees twice as many users as same time last year Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton Almost 300 students used the University of Alberta’s food bank this September, double the number from September 2015, while food banks across the city are seeing increased demand. “It was a little shocking,” said U of A food bank executive director Caitlin Phare, noting that October is also on track to be a record-setting month. When it comes to budgeting students tend to plan for a year in advance, Phare said, so last year the full effect of the economic downturn hadn’t hit yet. But this fall, they’re feeling it. “Jobs aren’t available, resources aren’t available, tuition isn’t going up, but it’s still not cheap,” she said. “Food is more expensive, gas is more expensive, it’s the culmination of a lot of things.” She said the increased demand is a canary in the campus coal mine: By the time students walk through her door they’re

City to look at rezone for school education
Demand for new buildings not keeping up with growth Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton Kids in Edmonton’s growing south are still being bussed inside the city to go to class, as school boards grapple with the need for new builds on the fringes. On Monday, Edmonton city council will review a bylaw that recommends land in Glenridding Heights be rezoned for the development of a school. Currently, the land is zoned as urban park space. But Annie Allers, president of the Windermere community league, says she needs to see actual build announcements to get excited for new schools in Glenridding. “Yes, it’s great there’s a possibility for a school there,” she said. “But whether or not that

students. When it opened in September, it actually had 600 students, Radyo said, adding the school’s capacity is 900 students “So what we’re seeing is extremely fast student population growth in Windermere, Ambleside, Glenridding and Keswick,” he said. “Really, we can’t get (more schools) fast enough.” Allers said kids from the southwest are even applying for schools in the southeast. “It would have been nice to have these schools yesterday,” she said. Though there was no funding in the government’s 2016 budget for new schools, both Edmonton boards have submitted their 2017-2020 to the province. The government’s five-year plan, though, includes $500 million for new school projects beginning in 2017. Radyo said Edmonton Catholic will begin its next capital plan in January. In September, two new schools will open in southeast Edmonton, located in Summerside and Walker. Both of those schools will have a capacity of 900 students each.

Seeing empty as opportunity development
Councillor has vision for vacant offices in city’s core Jeremy Simes
For Metro | Calgary Expect downtown Edmonton’s vacant office towers to turn into innovative spaces in the near future — think collaborative workspaces for startups, art studios or micro-apartments. This week, Coun. Andrew Knack will introduce a notice of motion that calls on the city to look at alternative ways Edmonton’s empty downtown tower spaces can be used. Knack is open to all creative ideas at this point and said he wants to get a grip on the growing downtown vacancy rate so that it doesn’t hit 20 to 25 per cent — as some fear thanks to an influx of new buildings. “It’s still going to be tough. We’re not going to be perfect,” he said. “But I’d like us to see us stop at the 20 per cent mark.”
Coun. Andrew Knack is proposing city council get the ball rolling on exploring ways Edmonton can re-shape empty downtown office space. Jeremy Simes/Metro
In fact, the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) has been working on this idea for the past year, according to EEDC President and CEO Brad Ferguson. Ferguson said he’s seen some “dynamite” ideas already surface, including yoga studios, pop-up retail, mini-markets
Action is already starting. We’re working with business owners today. Coun. Andrew Knack
and shared spaces for startups. “Those are all ideas from the downtown core that stimulate more ideas from building owners and developers,” he said. “Action is already starting. We’re working with business owners today on what they can do, in a conversation point of view.”
Knack said the motion lets the city explore many options, referencing ideas of micro-suite apartments and artist studios. “It’s going to be a variety of options that we’ll be exploring,” he said. “It’s not going to be exclusive.” Ferguson said there will be about 1.8 million square feet of empty space over the next 18 to 24 months. Vacancy rates will range from 12 to 16 per cent, depending on the class of the building. If the motion passes at council next week, Knack said the next steps include conversations with stakeholders, and determining where red tape can be cut so that transitions are seamless. “If you’re looking to invest, Edmonton is a great place to invest right now,” he said. Ferguson said Edmontonians can expect change. “This is idea generation, realtime action for the economic situation we’re in today,” he said. “We’re excited about it. It’s nice to see the whole community come together now and we look forward to sharing our ideas.”

Clinics to roll out flu shots The flu shot has arrived. Alberta Health Services is rolling out its annual program Monday for Albertans six months old and up. You can now get free immunizations at hundreds of public clinics, as well as some pharmacies and physician offices “Last year’s immunization won’t protect you this season. You need this season’s immunization to be protected,” Dr. Christopher Sikora, AHS Edmonton Zone’s medical officer of health, said in a press release. About 1.15 million Albertans got immunized last season. This fall, 60 cases of influenza have been confirmed in Alberta, 6 of those in Edmonton and 25 have required hospitalization. The flu causes more visits to hospital emergency rooms than heart attacks and strokes, and hospitalizes more children than poisonings, according to AHS. Albertans can visit www.ahs. ca/influenza or call Health Link at 811 for local clinic schedules and other information.

Infill may be among Edmonton’s most contentious types of construction, but the winners of Edmonton’s first design competition think they have the answer to the critics. Winners of the city’s inaugural infill design competition were declared Thursday, chosen for their ability to design for multiple occupants and environmental, social and economic sustainability. “The competition is a brilliant and fun way to move the infill
conversation beyond contention toward possibilities, innovation and an achievable positive reality,” said Cynthia Dovell, a principal architect with local firm Avid Architecture, which won an award of merit for its interpretation of a semi-detached house. Hopefully, the competition will inspire builders and buyers to be creative with designing infill projects, said Coun. Scott McKeen, who along with Coun. Bev Esslinger came up with the idea for the competition. “One of the major complaints we’ve had in mature neighbourhoods is so-called monster homes going in,” McKeen said. McKeen also said the competition shows builders smaller spaces can offer a lot to customers, at a lower price point, too. 5468796 Architecture Inc. — a 15-person Winnipeg-based architecture firm — won the open category award in the best in-class awards.
The firm’s submission envisioned an “inconspicuous infill room, nestled between two existing houses in the shaded, underused side yard(s)” that “embeds itself into the streetscape.” An infill competition is a good initiative by the City of Edmonton, said Johanna Hurme, principal architect at 5468796 Architecture Inc. “Edmonton is taking some very progressive steps and looking at all kinds of avenues to make the city a model for the rest of Canada and we’re thrilled to be part of that process.” The city began accepting submissions for the competition in spring, requiring participants to adhere to design objectives for mature neighbourhoods. There were more than 80 submissions and five broad award categories, including student awards and a people’s choice award.

This year as deadly as the last Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton City officials are urging drivers and pedestrians to be extra cautious on the roads as Edmonton’s pedestrian fatality total has climbed into the double digits. Police reported Friday that a 28-year-old man who was struck by the driver of an SUV near 113 Avenue and 95 Street Thursday morning had died in hospital — marking the 10th
pedestrian fatality of 2016. That puts Edmonton on pace to match last year’s total of 12, which was the highest since 2007. October and November tend to be the worst months for pedestrian injuries and fatalities. “We have seen a fairly significant and steady decrease in serious injuries over the last several years, so that’s a good sign. But when it comes to fatalities, there are just so many different factors and each case can be so different,”
said Laura Thue, senior research co-ordinator for the office of traffic safety. Thue noted distracted driving and impaired driving are two factors that can contribute to fatalities. Acting Staff Sgt. James McLeod with the Edmonton Police Service Major Collision Investigation Unit said impaired pedestrians can also be an issue. “What I would like to see is a comparison of how many pedestrians are sober, compared to how many pedestrians are intoxicated,” he said.

Someone like Viola Desmond, a Canadian woman who fought against racial segregation in Nova Scotia in the 1940s and 1950s Nancy Coldham, co-chair of Equal Voice Toronto, which works to get more women elected in Canada, said she can see why the international body tapped Wonder Woman for the role. “They are trying to reach a tech-savvy audience,” she said, adding comic book characters have been used around the world for worthy causes like promoting literacy and preventing bullying.

Violence rampant at Canadian mines: Report Latin America
Feds criticized for failing to address deaths and injuries A new report that documents 15 years of violence near Canadian mines in Latin America says the federal government is not doing enough to address the problem. The study, published Monday, charts 44 deaths, 403 injuries and 709 arrests, detentions and charges from 2000 to 2015 that the authors link to 28 Canadian companies’ mining projects in 13 countries in the region. “The world is taking notice of Canadian companies for all the
wrong reasons,” said Shin Imai, a law professor at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School and principal author of the report, titled The Canada Brand: Violence and Canadian Mining Companies in Latin America. “We need a more robust way to hold companies accountable,” he said. Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada, which represents several of Canada’s largest resource companies, said his members are committed to human rights and do disclose workplace injuries and fatalities in annual sustainability reporting. Some Canadian companies work in “jurisdictions in which levels of violence are significantly higher, and respect for
the rule of law lower, than that experienced in Canada, which is a challenge,” Gratton said. “Our members don’t condone violence nor, in many of these examples, is violence directly correlated to operations.” Ottawa requires that Canadian mining companies follow voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) codes in their overseas activity. The office of the federal CSR counsellor also works to “reduce and constructively resolve” conflicts between local communities and Canadian companies. That office does not conduct investigations nor have the power to sanction companies. Most companies subscribe to what is known as “voluntary principles on security and
human rights,” Gratton said, a framework that requires companies to respect human rights, including in its dealings with police and security personnel. The report found 33 deaths, 57 injuries and 37 arrests, detentions and charges in the data set that were linked to the projects of publicly listed Canadian companies. These cases cannot be independently verified. Canadian securities regulations oblige companies to disclose events that may affect the market value of their shares. Incidents of violence may not necessarily meet that standard and no law requires companies to disclose all incidents that happen near their overseas projects. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

‘The jungle is finished’ Calais, France
Thousands of migrants face the unknown as camp closes Migrants prayed, plotted and played soccer together Sunday, a day before France starts clearing them by the thousands from a makeshift refugee camp that is doomed for destruction. But the scene that would pass for normal on another day at the slum-like camp in the northern port town of Calais nicknamed the “jungle” was anything but routine. On Monday, 60 buses are set to transport 3,000 migrants to reception centres scattered around France. By week’s end, the camp is to be emptied and destroyed. “Tomorrow the jungle is finished. You know it, right?” Enrika Kareivaite, a volunteer with aid group Care4Calais, told a group of migrants. Police and volunteers will be on hand, she said, “and we will ask you to leave with us together, OK?” After nightfall, groups of mi-

grants used portable toilets to set huge bonfires on a sandy noman’s land on the camp’s edge that authorities carved out earlier this year to push camp inhabitants away from a road leading to port and ferries to England. Scores of riot police were keeping watch, and some occasionally charged the groups igniting the flames.
The evacuation of at least 6,486 migrants — aid groups have estimated 8,300 — has been in the works for two months and is expected to take a week. It is unfolding as a complex ballet of lines, interviews, and bus rides to the unknown. The people at the camp, who will be allowed to pick two regions of a country they don’t

Poles take to streets again to protest abortion restrictions
Polish women put black clothes back on and returned to the streets Sunday, launching another round of protests against efforts by the nation’s conservative leaders to tighten Poland’s already restrictive abortion law. A large group gathered outside the parliament building in Warsaw, decrying the Catholic Church’s influence on political life and chanting “We have had enough!” Similar protests took place in other cities across the country. The street protests are expected to have their culmination on Monday, when some women are also planning a strike, boycotting jobs and classes. Similar protests took place three weeks ago against a proposal for a total ban on abortion. Lawmakers rejected that proposal after massive crowds of women dressed in black staged streets protests under their umbrellas in the rain. The latest round of demonstrations, held under the slogan “We are not folding up our umbrellas,” was organized in response to a new proposal that would fall short of a total ban, but outlaw abortions in cases where fetuses are unviable or badly damaged.
know as their intended destination, were just learning the details Sunday. “The objective has been reached. We have more than 7,000 places. We have a place for everyone,” Calais’ social cohesion director Serge Szarzynski said Sunday. But most migrants encountered were unaware of how the
operation was to proceed and unsure where their next landing place would be. Some people staying at the camp said they fear ending up in unwelcoming villages with few economic opportunities instead of cities, a real possibility. “And there are rumours here that they are taking them to warehouses,” said Tariq Shinwari, a 26-year-old Afghan who has applied for asylum in France. The camp that sprang up 18 months ago in the sand dunes near the Calais port is home to a population that fled wars and other crises, from Syria and Afghanistan to Eritrea and Ethiopia. The heart of the chaotic camp has been a church built by Ethiopians. With two crosses that dominate the landscape and a carefully decorated interior, it offered a wellspring of hope for the faithful, including those who attended a special four-hour service on Sunday. “This is a special service. The people are really fearing,” Salamin, a man who acts as church keeper and activity planner, said. Like many others on the cusp of the unknown, he gave only a single name. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The move would allow for baptisms and burials, Kaczynski said. His socially conservative party won parliamentary and presidential elections last year
with the support of Poland’s powerful Roman Catholic church, Catholic media outlets and religious voters. Many observers see the attempts to further restrict abortion as a way for the party to re-pay its debt to its religious base. However, the proposals have proven too restrictive for many Poles, including some who voted for the party. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Inclusiveness
Companies break the mould on toy diversity Toy companies are working harder to think outside their usual box, offering more-inclusive items like dolls with disabilities, female superhero figures and characters with a range of skin tones. Many of the products breaking down the barriers started with smaller businesses, but big names like Mattel and Hasbro are getting into the game and offering lots more options this holiday season. What that means on the shelves is Barbies that have a greater variety of body types,

eye colours and facial structures, a Lego mini-figure of a boy who uses a wheelchair, and an American Girl doll with accessories like a diabetes kit and arm crutches in addition to the hearing aids and service dogs it has offered before. Other items include coding toys, robots and circuit builder sets aimed at both girls and boys. Increasingly, the inclusiveness in the toy aisle means dolls with disabilities. Toys R Us has carried an exclusive line since 2013 called Journey Girls, which includes a wheelchair and a crutch set. Experts say it’s critical for children to play with toys that don’t perpetuate stereotypes of what’s considered beautiful. “There’s been some good progress, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done,” said Elizabeth Sweet, a sociologist at California State University in Sacramento, California. “Kids need to see themselves in the toys and objects they interact with.” the associated press

The Yorkdale Muji includes an expanded apparel selection and a growing number of skincare products, Japanese snacks and candies and some furniture items, including the Beads Sofa, essentially a beanbag chair.

THE QUESTION
What do I say when people ask how much my engagement ring cost? Dear Ellen, Since getting engaged, my fiancé and I have had numerous questions from friends about how much the ring cost. I find this question offensive and I have refused to answer. My fiancé has given a ballpark figure (i.e., between $2,000 and $3,000). What is the right way to handle this question without sounding rude? Engagement Ring Woes Dear ERW, I’m always struck by innately polite people who bend over backwards to protect the feelings of innately rude people. Then again, I suppose that’s the definition of good manners: treating other people respectfully regardless of their own tactless, nosy, obtuse behaviour toward you. Asking how much your ring cost is on the Top 11 List of Rude Questions That Should Never Be Asked. The other 10: 1. “Are you pregnant?” 2. “Why don’t you have kids yet?” 3. “Are you having trouble getting pregnant?” 4. “Are you going to get married? (Which often comes complete with: “Why hasn’t he/she/they asked yet?”) 5. “How much did your house cost?” 6. “How much money do you earn?” 7. “Did you resign or
Perhaps you’re confusing the potential awkwardness of a polite but firm ‘no’ with rudeness
were you fired?” 8. “Is that what you’re wearing?” 9. “I heard you guys split up — whose fault was it?” 10. “What is that thing on your face?” I could list many more rude questions, of course, having once been a younger, tactless, nosy, obtuse person who asked many of them myself. We think we’re just being curious when we pose these queries. But what seems innocuous to us can feel like a gut punch to those who can’t get pregnant, or who just got dumped, fired or diagnosed with a horrible facial-skin disease. Back to the ring. You say
you refuse to answer when people ask how much it cost, which is your right. But then you ask how to handle this question “without sounding rude?” This makes me wonder how you’ve been handling it so far. I’m going to assume you aren’t telling people to shut the hell up and eff off. Perhaps you’re confusing the potential awkwardness of a polite but firm “no” with rudeness, because it makes people uncomfortable. But there’s nothing wrong with replying, “I’d rather not say how much my ring costs.” You don’t have to add anything. You don’t have to rush headlong into the silence to save any-
one’s feelings. If whoever asked the rude question has any sensitivity to social cues at all, they’ll realize their mistake and learn from it. Thanks to you. And if they’re insensitive clods who persist (“C’mon, tell me. I really wanna know”), you can just smile and explain, as if to a small child: “I don’t want to tell you and I’m not going to.” Best of luck with your nuptials. Just be prepared to have the same answer ready when you get asked how much the wedding cost. Need advice? Email Ellen:

VICKY MOCHAMA
Wearing a ‘nasty woman’ shirt without harassment is a privilege available to white women As a black woman, I will not be wearing a “nasty woman” T-shirt. In the waning moments of the final presidential debate, Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton “such a nasty woman.” Now, women — mostly white women — are reclaiming “nasty woman” and turning it into a capitalist empire: There are Nasty Woman cocktails, perfumes, tote bags and Tshirts. Some have donated their proceeds to charity. Others, well, just got paid. There’s an entire “nasty woman” economy but my credit card will be staying in my wallet. The word “‘nasty”’ hypersexualizes and diminishes black women. It’s a term of contempt. When the Beckys at the top of “Baby Got Back” take the measure of the black woman in their midst, the judgment they arrive at is clear: She’s a nasty girl. “I mean, her butt, is just so big I can’t believe it’s just so round, it’s like Out there, I mean — gross. Look! She’s just so ... black!” When they say “she looks like a total prostitute,” they’re echoing a racist, misogynist trope that’s much more pervasive than you might realize. I don’t know of a single black woman who hasn’t been mistaken for a sex worker. Whether it’s rambunctious white boys driving by to ask “How much?” or the Paris waiter
who asked me to sit inside instead of alone on the patio, we’re assumed to be available for purchase. The freedom to wear a “nasty woman” shirt without being sexually accosted and harassed is a privilege available to white women. White feminism can be alienating for non-white feminists. As writer Catherine Young explains, “White feminism is a set of beliefs that allows for the exclusion of issues that specifically affect women of colour. “It is ‘one size-fits all’ feminism, where middle-class white women are the mould that others must fit.” White feminism looks like #LeanIn when black women can’t get job interviews because their names are different. It sounds like Hillary Clinton saying “This all started in Seneca Falls,” a women’s rights convention where no black women were present. Black women and other women of colour are routinely told that supporting Hillary is a feminist requirement when surely the only feminist requirement is dresses with pockets. Women of colour are being asked to set aside their valid concerns; we’re being told to favour our gender over our race even when the world defines us by both. So no “Nasty Woman” shirt for me. I’ll just continue wearing my favourite shirt, which reads, “I met God. She’s black.” Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Metro asks
after the game
Athletes say they call out vulgarity if they hear it
“What do you talk about in your locker room? “ perry king for metro
We’re talking about whatever is going down that day. Sometimes we’ll talk about females but we always stay respectable. - Andrew Madeira-Silva
Perry King
For Metro Canada The conversation Donald Trump had on a 2005 videotape, words he described as “locker-room talk,” were definitely not the kind of words Mobeen Noormohamed would ever use. Playing rec league hockey with the same guys for more than a decade, Noormohamed has seen the locker room as a place to connect with the guys he plays with, as well as an outlet to let off some steam. “It is sometimes like a venting thing, talking about work or about life,” said Noormohamed, from his Stouffville, Ont. home, “and the guys relate to that.” If they do talk about women, especially their spouses, it’s kept tame. “Is it a lot of vulgarity? No, not really. At the same time, is it stuff that we would talk about with our spouses? Probably not,” added Noormohamed, a husband and father of two. In the Toronto Argonauts locker room, they talk about everything under the sun. Matt Black, the team’s defensive back and kick returner, says he sees more guys giving back to the communities where they grew up than living up to the misogynist label associated with the stereotypical locker room behaviour attached to Trump. “Just because it happens in a locker room doesn’t make it OK for you to say something like that,” said Black,. Noormohamed and Black have each heard minimal vulgar comments about women in their spaces, but Dr. Margery Holman from the University of Windsor argues that the behaviour is
Not in his locker room
Matt Black, the Argos’ defensive back and kick returner, says he sees more guys giving back to the communities where they grew up than taking part in stereotypical, misogynist locker-room behaviour. Bernard Weil/Torstar news service file
still very common. Researching about women and sport for years, Holman has found locker-room culture to be historically male-dominated, where misogynist behaviour can stew. She said talking with utter vulgarity about women behind closed doors sends the message that feeling and thinking that way is OK and enables even worse behaviour in men, even violence, in the future. Recently, many athletes, including the NBA’s Lebron James, denounced Trump’s comments, saying that his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates don’t talk about women that way. A 2012 survey, conducted by the White Ribbon campaign in Ontario, says 97 per cent of men thought that
violence against women was unacceptable to them and that they have a personal role to play in stopping it. But, Holman argues, those voices still represent a “vocal minority.” “If you ask athletes, they might be reluctant to talk about it. Often it’s something that’s under the table. There’s a lot of silence that shrouds it,” she said. Comparing that talk with hazing, Holman says the sports environment is protective and that many athletes still don’t call out other men or confront the issue. “It’s really difficult to stand up to it,” explained Holman, who has studied sexual harassment as part the university’s

kinesiology department. “The majority of men don’t engage in those behaviours, but we need them to speak out against others.” Mike Schaaf, who co-ordinates the MANifest Change program, a men’s outreach effort organized by the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, has reached out to about 2,000 people in the Ottawa area and thousands more via social media to discuss positive definitions of masculinity — which foster acceptance and builds better relationships with others, especially women. Schaaf, who estimates that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual violence, is well aware of the locker-room talk
and understands the nature of it. “As men, we are often under pressure to prove ourselves to other men by acting tough, bragging about sex with women, and showing willingness to use violence,” he wrote in an email. “We aren’t satisfied with that definition of manhood because it underlies violence against women and violence among men.” Working with high school and varsity athletes, including an active relationship with CFL players like Black, Schaaf’s work aims to better bridge the conversation. Black feels it’s important, now as a father and leader, to have these discussions with men but to also empower young

women, to give them courage and support them if they suffer violence. “Do what we need to do to empower young women, so that when something inappropriate happens to them, they know that it’s OK to come forward and tell your story,” Black said.

Inappropriate ‘costumes’

crossing the line
Context is everything in analyzing cultural attire Geishas are out. Feathered headdresses are forbidden. And if you’re planning to wear a Bill Cosby or Caitlyn Jenner costume, you may not be welcome at your Halloween party of choice. A growing number of institutions are starting to take a more proactive approach to potentially offensive outfits by developing strategies and even explicit policies to prevent people from donning controversial getups. Costumes depicting specific cultural traditions are the most common focus of such efforts,
which are making themselves felt in schools and universities. The student union at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., recently prepared a list of prohibited costumes for its annual Halloween bash. The list features any form of headdress, costumes that mock suicide or rape, those depicting transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner, or outfits featuring a culture’s traditional attire. Such approaches don’t always sit right with groups concerned with issues of censorship. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association says Halloween forces people to walk a particularly fine line as they juggle cultural sensitivity with freedom of expression. Equality Program Director Noa Mendelsohn Aviv said Halloween is steeped in a long tradition of social activism
which would not have been possible if participants were excessively concerned with offending others. She said the tradition of wearing costumes, for instance, often gave repressed members of the LGBTQ community opportunities to express themselves at a time when such actions were discouraged. Context is everything when it comes to cultural costumes, she said, adding past and present social conditions can often conspire to make a costume feel offensive to the group being depicted. She said protesters should have every right to voice their displeasure, but celebrants should also be allowed to be offensive. “We have to be very careful not to repress that kind of expression,” she said. “It’s very important there be room for
all kinds of different personal and political and subversive and dissenting expression, and Halloween is a time when that really happens.” Mendelsohn Aviv praised one technique put into practice three years ago at McGill University, whose student union issued colour-coded tags to attendees of its 2014 Halloween party. Green tags meant the costume was considered appropriate, yellow tags were for those whose choice of attire was considered questionable, and red tags were reserved for those believed to have crossed a line into offensive territory. Mendelsohn Aviv said social censure, rather than more active punishments, can be an effective way to give everyone a voice while still expressing that certain costumes may be in poor taste.

Sadness and hope on Secret Path THE SHOW: The Secret Path (cbc.ca) THE MOMENT: The windbreaker
In delicate, watercolor-washed animation, 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack walks, shivering, down kilometre after kilometre of railroad tracks, while the musician Gord Downie sings in an aching voice, “I am a stranger on a secret path/the one that nobody knows.” Chanie meets a raven, who sheds a feather. The feather turns into hair clippings as faceless nuns and priests buzz-cut a room full of Native Canadian children who’ve been yanked from their homes and imprisoned in residential schools. Chanie (also called Charlie) ran away; now he’s trying to walk 600 kilometres home through
northern Ontario forests to Ogoki Post. But it’s October 1966, and his warmest layer is a thin blue windbreaker. “I am soaked to the skin/there has never been/a colder rain than this,” Downie sings. “There is no secret path.” Downie, who’s long known he’s dying of cancer, created this legacy passion project to address the horrors of residential schools, and to give meaning to Chanie’s life, which ended on those tracks on Oct. 22, 50 years ago. He wrote 10 poems, then turned them into an album, a graphic novel, and now this hour-long special (the lovely animation is by Jeff Lemire). “It’s an attempt,” Downie tells Chanie’s four sisters, who appear in the doc, “to capture the feeling of trying to get home.”

It’s suffused with sadness, of course, but there’s also hope. “As big as the world is, we’re all connected in some way,” Pearl Wenjack says. “I don’t know how, but I know that. That’s why Gord
was connected to Charlie.” Johanna Schneller is a media connoisseur who zeroes in on pop-culture moments. She appears Monday through Thursday.

For Metro Canada There’s nothing like having a day off work. Sometimes you have to take a sick day to get over a bad bout of the weekend. And sometimes you need a mentalhealth day. Imagine if you had a whole day to focus on your money and get it back on track. It’d be the day when you look at all the things that aren’t just humming along and find ways to improve them. What would you do on your Money Day? 1. Call your insurance broker and make sure you’ve got the best deal on your home and auto insurance. While you’re at it, if you’ve been putting off putting life and disability insurance in place, get the ball rolling. 2. Add up your debts and make sure you’re on track to get it paid off within a reasonable time frame. Haven’t done a debt-repayment plan yet? Hey, this is the perfect day to do it. 3. Review your bank statements for your accounts and make sure you aren’t paying too much in bank charges. Are you earning as much as you can on your savings? If not, look around online at the high-interest-rate options available to earn more money on your hard-earned savings. 4. Review your budget. You should do this at least once a year. Better yet, twice. Are you spending what you planned? Have some categories grown over the past few months, necessitating that you trim back elsewhere? Are there expenses

that have crept up slowly and are now eating more of your money than you’d imagined? Get out the paring knife. 5. Look over your retirement plan. Don’t have one yet? Open up a retirement savings plan and start setting aside $25 a month for your future. Make a date (put it in your calendar) to up the amount to $50 a month because you’ve found a way to trim some money from your nice-to-have expenses. If you’ve been diligently saving for the future, review your investments and see if you’re happy with the way things are going. Your Money Day is also the day you put your will and your powers of attorney into place (finally!) and have a visit with your money team (investment advisor, insurance broker, etc.) to make sure they’re keeping you front and centre in their minds. Hey, they’re busy too. You have to make sure they’re thinking about you. Whatever needs tweaking, tweak. For more money advice, visit Gail’s website at gailvazoxlade. com

There are times when it seems each week brings a new engagement announcement on Facebook, and every save-thedate card makes your long-held dream to backpack across Europe seem even more remote. During your 20s or 30s, backto-back weddings can turn a joyful occasion into one breathless swipe of a credit card after another. These festivities come right when most people are trying desperately to pay off our student loans, save for a house or move to a new apartment that’s more Frasier and less Girls. As much as you want to celebrate your friend or family member’s love, you shouldn’t blow your savings on their wedding. Just as important, you shouldn’t feel guilty about turning down an invitation occasionally, even if that seems soul-crushingly awkward. Follow these tips to emerge from your next string of weddings without credit card debt haunting you — unlike the groomsman who gave that embarrassing toast at the reception; his speech will follow him forever. Set your own wedding budget No rules state that you need to shell out $100 on every wedding gift, no matter how close you are to the bride or groom. Only you can determine how much you’ll spend on each wedding, says Lizzie Post, etiquette expert and president of the Emily Post Institute. Set your own spending limit and prioritize the people who are most important to you. You’ll avoid arriving at the destination wedding for co-worker No. 3 with a maxed-out credit card and a thick aura of resentment. To start, choose a maximum
money Set a budget Determine how much you want to spend on each wedding and stick to your budget. Once you do this, you’ll be able to determine which invitations you can accept. Keep at least a few hundred dollars in an emergency fund.
As important as it is to celebrate your friend or family member’s love, you shouldn’t blow your budget doing it. istock
wedding budget for the upcoming year or for the next several ceremonies you’ve been invited to. Include the total amount you plan to spend on travel, lodging, attire, gifts and additional pre-wedding events if you’re a member of the bridal party. As you plan your budget, make sure to keep at least a few hundred dollars in an emergency fund, and try not to carry a balance on your credit cards. You can always (politely) decline Say you decide $500 is a reasonable amount to allocate to wedding costs for the year. You’ll now be able to accept invitations only to those events that fit your budget. That could mean attending your close friend’s wedding in a different city but not your acquaintance’s local one. When you break the news, no need to explain that your budget is the culprit. A simple “no” RSVP and “I’m really
sorry, but I won’t be able to make it” is fine, Post says. If you’re closer with the couple, say, “Between budget and schedule, I just really can’t make it work.” You should still send a gift, but use the tips below to save some cash. Weddings also include many other events, such as engagement parties and bridal showers, and you have even more obligations if you’re a bridesmaid or groomsman. Ask the best man or maid of honour how much the bachelor or bachelorette party will likely cost before committing. If you can’t afford to go, you are hereby permitted to decline any pre-wedding events, even as a member of the bridal party. “It’s more important for you to be present with them on the big day,” says Jennifer Spector, spokeswoman and director of brand strategy at Zola, a wedding registry website. Keep gifts minimal
A “yes” RSVP means you’ll attend the event and bring a gift unless the invitation explicitly says otherwise, Post says. This tradition holds true even for destination weddings. If you have to fly to the event and pay for a hotel, you’re still on the hook for a present. When you’re on a budget, consider contributing to a group gift, Spector says, which might be an option through the couple’s registry: Put $30 toward your friend’s coveted KitchenAid stand mixer, for instance, instead of buying the whole thing. Cookbooks and small household items are also solid lowercost options, Post says. Handmade gifts can be cheaper and more personal, but they work best when you have a particular talent or craft that you’re known for. “If you’re going to go the homemade route, it needs to really be special,” Post says.

WHY I LIKE MY JOB
THE BASICS: Project manager
Jessica Parsons, 32, Project Manager in the Pharmaceutical Industry
$61,702
Although I initially intended to enter a career in business management, I was intrigued by three new courses that became available during my last year of study at George Brown College. These courses focused primarily on project management, so I decided to put my business courses on hold so I could get my feet wet in a newer, promising area. Today, I work as a project manager in the pharmaceutical sector, where I spend the majority of my day coordinating and leading a diverse team of professionals to deliver an innovative selection of products to our clients. Since I work for a company that develops solutions for healthcare providers and their patients, every product we deliver changes lives. We use new tech, data visualization and creative materials to create an array of cutting-edge tools. As a project manager, I get to take part in the initial ideation and solution planning while ensuring alignment with targets and careful communication between all involved parties. I enjoy project management because I know that every day is going to be different. There will be days that are challenging but solving problems and working with others is something I really enjoy. I learn a great deal from the teams I am a part of and gain valuable experience along the way.

Jaws drop as Ajayi runs for 200 more vs. Bills NFL
Dolphins’ RB finds holes galore in win over Buffalo
Jay Ajayi rushes during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium. Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
As the NFL’s newest rushing star, Jay Ajayi is carrying the Miami Dolphins toward respectability. Ajayi tied a league record by surpassing 200 yards rushing for the second game in a row, helping Miami rally past the Buffalo Bills 28-25 Sunday. Ajayi rushed for 214 yards in 29 carries after totalling 204 yards a week earlier in a win over Pittsburgh. He scored on a four-yard run and busted a 53-yarder when the Dolphins were pinned at their three and trailing in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins (3-4) used an extra lineman much of the time to clear big holes for Ajayi, who tied the record for consecutive 200-yard games held by O.J. Simpson, Earl
Campbell and Ricky Williams. “It’s surreal to me,” Ajayi said. “The backs I’m in company with — that’s huge. Those are Hall of Fame guys, guys I look up to.” Two weeks ago the Dolphins appeared strong contenders for the No. 1 draft pick in 2017, but the discovery of a ground game has revived their season under first-year coach Adam Gase.

“I know this — every time No. 23 kept getting the ball, he was popping a run,” Gase said. “I was leaning on him.” Miami overcame an 11-point deficit with 16 minutes left to end a four-game winning streak by the Bills (4-3) and beat them for only the second time in their past seven meetings. “We got outplayed, we got outcoached, we got out-everythinged,” Buffalo coach Rex Ryan said. “They were the more physical team today, there’s no doubt about that. They controlled the game.” With Ajayi briefly sidelined by cramps, Damien Williams carried half the Bills’ weary defence into the end zone on a 12-yard touchdown run that put the Dolphins ahead with 3:56 to go. On their next possession, Ryan Tannehill hit Kenny Stills for a 66-yard score that made it 28-17. The Dolphins recovered an onside kick with 13 seconds left to seal the victory.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Postpone important discussions with parents and bosses today, because whatever you initiate likely will not fulfill its purpose. Just go with the flow and keep treading water.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 A heart-to-heart talk with a close friend or a partner will be meaningful today because people are willing to let their hair down. They will take a chance on honesty.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, which is why you will enjoy art galleries, museums, boutiques and beautiful parks. Take it easy today.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Your work scene will suffer from delays, poor decisions and inefficiency today. Just accept this and don’t be hard on yourself or others. You will accomplish much more tomorrow.
