Three people, including a 17year-old male from Georgina, have been charged with human trafficking after York Regional Police responded to a 911 call from a victim in Georgina. Police received a 911 call March 12 from a female being held against her will at an unknown location for the purpose of prostitution. Officers were able to track down the location of the call and locate the victim. Three male suspects were arrested inside the residence and have been charged with several offences related to human trafficking, according to police. Contrary to common misperceptions that sex slaves are brought here from impoverished countries, 63 per cent of Ontario’s victims of human trafficking are Canadian citizens, says the organizer of a York Region awareness event on human trafficking. l See TRIO, page 12

The other side of the coin

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com In about 18 months, shoppers will be able to wander among 25 best-in-class vendors at a new 40,000-squarefoot food market at Newmarket’s Upper Canada Mall. They can select the perfect steak from the butcher or sustainable salmon from the fish monger before picking up fresh vegetables from the produce stands, Camembert from the cheese shop, dessert from the bakery and a freshly squeezed mango smoothie from the juice bar. Part of the mall’s $60million redevelopment plans, the market will also offer a gift shop and restaurants facing on to Yonge Street. "I think for us it’s really a food market concept that’s quality driven. This is really to enhance people’s experience while visiting the shopping centre. It’s more of an experience that’s tied into food. We see the increasing popularity of food and beverage so it’s something that’s important to our customers," said BriAnn Stuart, general manager of mall owner Oxford Properties Group, adding this is the company’s first such food market. "It’s about experience and that’s what’s important to people and I think that’s what they’re asking for. To be honest, right now there are other grocery stores so that market’s filled so what is it that can offer an experience? Quality. A place of convenience and comfort. It allows customers a one-stop shop while complementing the other amenities the mall has to offer. Our location is great. We’re really the centre and the hub of York Re-

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Joan Stonehocker, executive director of the York Region Food Network, welcomes high-end grocery stores and locally sourced food but points out there are also many people in York Region on lower incomes that sturggle to access food. She would like to see the growing problem of income inequity addressed. gion." While an upscale food market in a shopping mall is rare, York Region is no stranger to grocery stores looking to make food shopping a posh experience. The grocery list includes Coppa’s Fresh Market in King City, Michael-Angelo’s in Aurora, Concord Food Centre in Thornhill, Vince’s Market in Newmarket and Sharon, Organic Garage in Thornhill, Nature’s Emporium in Newmarket, Yummy Market in Maple, T and T Supermarket in Markham, Unionville, Thornhill and Richmond Hill, Cataldi Fresh Market in Woodbridge and Longo’s in Aurora, Thornhill, Markham, Maple, Richmond Hill and Woodbridge. John Williams, senior adviser with retail and marketing consulting firm J.C.

Williams Group, isn’t surprised by the growing number of high-end grocery stores settling in prosperous York Region. Food is trendy, he said, adding Canadian foodies have benefited from the tremendous influx of immigrants bringing their cuisine here. "Food has gone from a commodity to a hot product. A decade ago, fashion was paramount. Today, food is the new fashion. It is the status symbol. It is how you express yourself," he said. "Food is fashionable. It is driven by many things. One thing is there’s a lot of people making more money. There’s a lot of people who aren’t, too." Joan Stonehocker, executive director with the York Region Food Network, which advocates on food security issues, welcomes

high-end grocery stores and locally-sourced food but points out there is another side of the coin that shouldn’t be ignored. "I think that anything that supports our food infrastructure is a good thing," she said. "But obviously there is a growing food insecurity, poverty problem in York Region. We’re hearing from all sorts of agencies that more and more people are coming for assistance because of the high cost of housing and increasing inequality. To me, you’re not going to solve those or hinder them so much by the actual food. We really need to think about policies like basic income and all of these things that will make a difference because food insecurity is a poverty problem and you’re not going to solve it with food."

Walking into the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank, the first thing clients see just beyond the reception area is a table with fresh bread, bagels, wraps and even a very small selection of packaged baked goods. Just beyond the bread table are two bins, one with some large carrots and the other with a few onions. In the summer, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market supplies the food bank with fresh fruit. There are also two fridges with cartons of milk, provided by the Ontario Association of Food Banks, and eggs. But let’s face it, most of the staples at a food bank, where clients are only allowed to visit once a month, are cans and boxes. Shelves are stocked with soup, pasta, cereal, beans, canned meat, peanut butter, pancake mix and syrup and juice boxes. There are fruit cups and puddings but a sign says those are only to be taken for children. Along another wall are shelves filled with baby formula and diapers. A couple of bins contain some non-food supplies such as personal hygiene products and pet food. In the back room, this food bank is fortunate to have three freezers for frozen foods. In 2016, 10,449 residents relied on food from food banks in Georgina, East Gwillimbury, Aurora, Newmarket, Richmond Hill and Markham, up from 10,263 in 2015, according to Alex Bilotta, executive director of LifeCorps Food Share, which supplies food to a number of agencies that provide food to people struggling to make ends meet. Food banks in Whitchurch-Stouffville, King Township and Vaughan don’t belong to the LifeCorps network. There were 6,829 adults who received food from LifeCorps food banks in York in 2016, up from 6,607 the year before. The number of children served by the six food banks was 3,620 in 2016, down slightly from 3,656 in 2015. The number of households that turned to the food banks was 4,024 in 2016, up from 3,892 in 2015. Overall, the number of visits to the LifeCorps food banks was 49,127 last year compared to 46,297 the year before, Bilotta said.

Transit requires big picture thinking

TheLiberal.

At a certain point, a spoiled child needs to have its toys taken away. Perhaps that’s where we find ourselves with Toronto’s recent decisions regarding the TTC. Although the first T stands for Toronto, the TTC has grown from a local transportation service provider to an interregional one carrying riders on more than halfa-billion trips, from one end of the GTA to the other, making it the third-largest entity of its kind in North America after the New York City Transit Authority and Mexico City Metro. However, despite existing evidence supporting this fact - several TTC bus routes already operate outside of the city’s borders and a subway extension to Vaughan is expected to commence operation this year - and a scope only projected to expand, the priorities of Toronto’s decision makers remain bafflingly parochial. Take, for instance, the latest push for a Scarborough subway. Over the past seven years, Toronto’s plan has gone from a $1.5-billion, seven-stop light rail transit line (LRT), to replace the aging Scarborough RT, that would have been fully funded by the provincial government to a three-stop subway and now, most recently, to a sixkilometre extension to the Scarborough Town Centre that will cost an estimated $3.35 billion - with $1.48 million committed by the province, $660 million being contributed by the federal government and the remaining $910 million coming from the city - but could balloon to a final pricetag in excess of $5 billion. The Toronto Star’s Jennifer Pagliaro reported last week that the subway extension is expected to serve 7,400 riders per hour in the busiest direction during rush hour, considerably less than the 15,000 people per hour minimum threshold needed to justify a subway, and will save five minutes for users compared to travel times on the SRT. In any event, the project demonstrates Toronto council shouldn’t be behind the wheel any longer. The potential expenditure is too great when so many other transit projects in York Region and across the GTHA remain in need of funding. As such, the province and the federal government should balk at contributing money to this folly. What’s more, it may even be time for transit planning authority Metrolinx to take over the TTC to ensure funding is directed to projects that will deliver the maximum benefit for commuters in the GTHA. It’s an old idea whose time may have come. Something must change. There’s too much at stake.

Motion a step toward a more inclusivity I am writing with regard to MP Iqra Khalid’s proposed motion M-103, on systemic racism and religious discrimination, that was debated in the House Feb. 15. Systemic discrimination has been a part of the Canadian climate since day one, from how indigenous peoples were treated to how Blacks, Jews, Italians, Irish, Chinese, Indians and now Muslims are being treated. Racism is felt daily in three main ways: individual acts, which every group experiences, some more than others of course; powerful ideas, from news reporting, movies and television shows; and systems,

Islamophobia is definitely felt through individual acts committed, and is overwhelmingly felt by powerful ideas, ubiquitously found in all forms of media today. However, I am happy to see a bill come up, from the system itself, that seeks to examine Islamophobia in all instances (individual acts, ideas and systems), and stop or prevent these powerful ideas from spreading into our great Canadian institutions.

Too easy to get dictatorial government RE: EDITORIAL: Let’s not shoot the messengers, March 2. I am puzzled: where are the U.S.’s ’univision’ Republicans pushing their coun-

try and its democracy? Are they focused more on their interest and choose to ignore Trump’s peculiar behaviour, unethical ideas and obsessions for control and popularity? Do they care that free speech and the valuable service that media plays continues without threats of being closed down? Is integrity present in the Republican senate’s operations, or is sleeping profoundly? I know how easy is to get to a dictatorial-style government. I left my country in the search of a voice and rights. I would hate to see Americans lose theirs. Francesca Schembri

Trio charged with human trafficking in Georgina l Continued from front

Females make up 90 per cent of victims, with 63 per cent ranging in age from 15 to 24. About 24 per cent entered trafficking through pimps falsely portraying themselves as boyfriends and 96 per cent of victims have experienced multiple forms of violence, Stephanie Jackson said. "I think the perception, especially in a lovely suburb-type area like York Region, we don’t think something this dark and heinous is happening here. It’s always something that we would see in the news that is happening in Cambodia or Africa or just somewhere else but not that a culture that is sophisticated and privileged should be facing this kind of issue," she said, adding Newmarket and Markham appear to be "targeted" communities for human trafficking. "But the reality is that it does happen and it is hap-

pening more and more. The Internet is a proponent in it. There is a dollar figure, and it’s really disgusting to say this, but each girl who is trafficked represents about $125,000 a year (in income for the trafficker)." Jackson is organizing She’s Not For Sale on March 28 in WhitchurchStouffville. It will feature keynote speaker Casandra Diamond, who will draw on her past experiences in the sex industry and her position now as director of BridgeNorth, a program of Grace Church in Newmarket that helps women trapped in prostitution, sexual exploitation and trafficking. Marianne Deeks, a youth worker and speaker with faith-based charity Youth Unlimited, will talk about building resiliency in youth and point to ways parents can talk to their children about sex, pornography, social media

and self-esteem. "I think the thing that’s most important is that we understand what our kids are doing online and what’s happening with regards to their social media life. Being aware of who’s following your kids and who they’re connected to, I think we often just assume they’re fine, they’re in our house, we can see everything, we understand it," she said. "But we’re giving them this machine that literally has access to everything in the world at their fingerprints . We have to recognize who they’re talking to and who’s following them. If you’re in Grade 5 or 6 or even Grade 10 and you have 1,000 followers, who are they?" While it’s important not to go overboard in assuming every child or teenager is at risk, it’s crucial to talk early and often to your children about appropriate behaviours and risks, and to also recog-

nize that vulnerable youngsters are most targeted by predators, Deeks said. The Ontario government needs to do more to combat human trafficking, Jackson said, adding parents and caregivers must be aware of the insidious methods predators use to lure victims into human trafficking. "The typical approach here, and this is what we really want to educate parents and grandparents and youth leaders and people in the community (about), is that a 20- or 21-year-old guy who looks unassuming is going to actually target your 14-or 15-year-old daughter," Jackson said. "She’s at a prime age of wanting to feel loved and accepted and validated and just significant. We were all there, we were all teens and tweens and when you’re 13, 14, 15 years old, you just want to be accepted

and loved. So, the trafficker knows that and preys on that." What often begins as a seemingly romantic and trusting relationship can quickly result in the victim being trapped in the sex trade through threats, shame and violence, Jackson said. "It’s domestic, it’s violence, it’s slavery. The most vulnerable are between 12 and high school age, 16 or 17. Typically, she enters in at around age 13 or 14," she said, quoting research from the Alliance Against Modern Slavery Ontario Coalition Research Initiative on The Incidence of Human Trafficking in Ontario. "What we want to do is change the perception of what people think of this human being, that she is definitely for the most part not there of her own volition. It’s not like she chose it, it’s not empowering, it’s not respectful,

it’s not honouring her as a human being." In relation to the Georgina incident, Ahmed Sheikh, 26, of Richmond Hill, is charged with numerous offences, including trafficking, kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, trafficking cocaine and breach of probation. Ali Gulud, 45, of Montreal is charged with forcible confinement, sexual assault and trafficking in persons. A 17-year-old male from Georgina is facing charges of trafficking in persons, forcible confinement and sexual assault. She’s Not For Sale, a free event open to everyone high school age and older, will be held March 28 at 7 p.m. at Springvale Church at 3885 Stouffville Road, at Kennedy Road, in WhitchurchStouffville. - with files from Heidi Riedner

Would you cut back on sugar if it cost more? KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com A new study adds ammunition to the war against sugar. Research from the University of Waterloo suggests a levy on sugary drinks would save thousands of lives and billions in health-care dollars. A call-to-action, endorsed by 24 health organizations, proposes an excise levy on sugary drinks be included in the upcoming federal budget. Funds raised by the levy could be directed toward healthy living initiatives including subsidizing vegetables and fruits, ensuring access to safe drinking water and plain low fat milk in indigenous communities, healthy school lunch programs, and programs encouraging physical activity and food literacy. Ron Weese, chair of Activate Aurora, is cheering

the news. "I’m thankful we have some empirical data that is presenting the problem. We have not have enough of that in the past," he said. "The message (that sugar is unhealthy) does not seem to be getting out there and it’s high time the public became aware." Activate Aurora has been pushing for a tax on high-sugar beverages and their removal from vending machines in townowned facilities, following the lead of both York Region school boards. According to the study commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society, Childhood Obesity Foundation, Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada, Diabetes Canada and Heart & Stroke, an excise levy would contribute to $11.5 billion in health care savings over the next 25 years. A 20 per cent levy on companies that produce

Activate Aurora chair Ron Weese says high-sugar beverages should be replaced by healthier water and approves the recent call-to-action for excise levy on sugary drinks sugary drinks would result in more than 13,000 lives saved and prevent more than 600,000 cases of obesity among Canadian adults, up to 200,000 cases of type 2 diabetes, and tens of thousands more cases of heart disease, cancer and stroke, the study said. "Excessive sugary drink consumption costs Canadians hundreds of millions of

dollars each year and is killing thousands. It is time to tax this product in order to make it pay its way and to nudge Canadians toward healthier beverage choices," said Dr. Tom Warshawski, pediatrician and chairperson of the Childhood Obesity Foundation. Other health organizations, such as the Canadian Diabetes Association, have

also recommended a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages These beverages include non-diet pop, sweetened iced teas, sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit-flavoured drinks (like fruit punch or vitamin waters) and blended coffee drinks that contain large amounts of added sugar and are nutrient-poor.

A growing number countries - including Mexico, France, Hungary, Finland and parts of the United States - have successfully implemented levies to decrease consumption, the study said. The health groups emphasize that a levy is not the only way to promote healthy eating and drinking, and a broader strategy should restrict marketing to kids, improve food and menu labelling, provide better access to affordable healthy foods and water and increase public education. "I don’t really like big government interfering but we do have to recognize regulation has made significant strides in other areas, like tobacco use, seatbelts, and recycling efforts," Weese said. "Governments do have a responsibility to help people make the right and healthy choices."

Conscription Crisis of 1917

comfort of their own home. Call us for a FREE assessment

905.918.0103

After the Battle of the Somme in 1916, Prime Minister Robert Borden realized the gap between recruits, 300,000, and the number of soldiers he promised by the end of the year, 500,000, was huge. The imposition of conscription caused a weekend of rioting in Quebec between March 28 and April 1, 1918. By Good Friday evening, an estimated 15,000 rioters had ransacked the conscription office as well as two pro-conscription newspapers in Quebec City. In the end, about 125,000 men were conscripted and only about 25,000 served at the front.

www.LAServices.ca

Serving seniors since 2000 Torstar Library When Borden returned from France in 1917 he had made up his mind that only conscription could adequately reinforce the dwindling Canadian army. His Conscription Bill split the country and produced bitter controversy.
