Woodbine DUSK DANCES Park home to a food truck

®

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Hungry visitors will be able to grab a quick meal at five city parks this summer as Toronto embarks on a pilot project to measure the effect of allowing food trucks to do business on city property.

Currently, food trucks aren’t allowed on city property. They can set up in private parking lots or pay fees to do business at designated public events.

But parks, rights-of-way and boulevards are off-limits.

Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle has been pushing for a relaxation of the bylaw throughout the year as a member of the city’s Food Policy Council.

Initially, Colle said he just wanted to see the bylaws relaxed. But he said city bureaucrats were unable to make the change wholesale, so the pilot project is a first step.

The project will see five parks open to licensed food trucks: Woodbine Park, Roundhouse Park, Canoe Landing, Sherbourne Commons and Allan Gardens.

“The parks we’ve chosen... we’ve tried to pick ones with high foot traffic,” said Colle.

“One is the Roundhouse Park outside the (Rogers Centre).

That should give you a feel of what it should be like. Part of it is to help out these entrepre>>>FOOD, page 10

Withrow Park nominated as a great place in Canada REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com Hang out in Riverdale’s Withrow Park for a day and you’ll find out it brings together a community with a diverse range of

interests.

Sit on one of the park’s many benches at dawn and you’ll spot people finding their inner zen through the fluid movements of early morning yoga or tai chi.

Walk along one of the park’s

many pathways at lunch and you’ll see dogs and humans alike chasing soccer, baseballs, ball hockey or tennis balls.

Stick around for nightfall when local artists make their debut in Dusk Dances or

Shakespeare plays.

Maple Leaf Forever tree lives on after being felled by July 19 storm

“

Rebecca Field rfield@insidetoronto.com The iconic Maple Leaf Forever tree at Maple Cottage will gain new life after falling over during a wind storm.

The city is looking for ideas to repurpose the leftover wood from the tree on Laing Street, which is said to have inspired Alexander Muir’s Maple Leaf Forever, the song that acted as an unofficial national anthem in English-speaking Canada since it was written in 1867.

“We definitely plan to honour the tree,” said Rob McMonagle, senior adviser with the city’s Economic Development and Culture office.

McMonagle will be holding a meeting later this week with Heritage Services on what to do with the tree remnants as well as the leftover trunk at Maple Cottage.

“Our priority this week after the storm has been salvaging as much of the wood as possible and ensuring that it’s being stored in such a state that the wood doesn’t degrade too rapidly,” McMonagle said.

Neighbours of Maple Cottage are remembering the tree, and hoping something is done with the trunk that represents Canadians in the same way the tree did.

“It was the reason I bought

I think (the tree) could be carved into a beautiful totem pole that could stand as a legacy of the Maple Leaf Forever...

– Victoria Dinnick offering a suggestion by Wendy Sing Gen

The Maple Leaf Forever tree on Laing Street, which fell over in a July 19 wind storm, will be repurposed into an artifact to honour its historical significance.

my house in 1987,” said Victoria Dinnick, who lives next to Maple Cottage. “There was nothing pretty about the neighbourhood, but the tree was lovely.”

Big tree The tree fell July 19 across 65 and 67 Laing St., both owned by Dinnick who couldn’t open the front door to her house because it was blocking the way.

Dinnick kept a piece of the tree that was impaled by her wrought iron fence, which the falling tree

crushed and destroyed when it landed.

“I feel like I lost a friend,” said Dinnick, who has a 20-foot maple sitting in her backyard – the offspring of the Canadian monument.

“It was quite a prolific tree. You’ll find babies everywhere, but that one was allowed to grow.”

The legacy of the Maple Leaf Forever tree may be more widespread than just Laing Street.

Leona Adam, from Riverdale, handed out maple keys that had fallen from the tree at the 150th anniversary of Brock Public School

in November.

“It turns out that Alexander Muir was the first principal,” said Adam, who attended the school during the Second World War with her brother.

Muir was principal of the school for only one year, but Adam sold the keys at the celebration to raise money for the school. She attached the keys to a card with the lines of Maple Leaf Forever and wrote “Plant it and keep the memory alive,” on the back.

After the tree fell, Adam went with her son, Wayne, to take some

photos, and ended up keeping a branch from the tree. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. The leaves are curled now,” Adam said.

“Things come and things go; we all have to live through all of this.”

The city has since put up a sign by the trunk telling community members to respect the trunk and avoid vandalizing it.

“I think it could be carved into a beautiful totem pole that could stand as a legacy of the Maple Leaf Forever tree right there on the property,” said Dinnick, citing the idea of neighbour Wendy Sing Gen who lives down the street. “I think it’s a brilliant idea.”

“The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save our Queen and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever!”

Port Lands revitalization seeking environmental assessment approval Rebecca Field rfield@insidetoronto.com Plans to revitalize Toronto’s port lands are moving forward in the wake of recent flooding and extreme weather in Toronto.

Waterfront Toronto (WT) and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) joined the City and members of the public in a meeting last Wednesday.

They gathered to discuss two environmental assessment (EA) projects – the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection and the Lower Don Lands Master Plan – that will both revitalize the port lands to a more natural habitat and green public park, as well as protect the east end from flooding from any big storms in the future.

“Out of the 290 hectares of land that are at risk of flooding right now, we’ll be removing over 240 hectares of land from flood risk,” said Ken Dion, TRCA manager of special projects.

“We’re basically able to remove all of the flooding that would occur to the Eastern port lands as well as in the South Riverdale area,” said Dion.

metre-wide valley and wetland system on the port lands and the mouth of the Don River – an important migration passage for many birds and other wildlife.

Recreating wetland

Two environmental assessment projects will revitalize the port lands and help protect the area from flooding like was seen July 8.

The remaining 50 hectares are in the Western port lands, which wouldn’t gain any increase in flooding from the revitalization.

The Don Valley Parkway will not

gain any relief from flooding in the project as it was built directly on the flood plain. “You saw what was happening two weeks ago here, three weeks ago in Calgary...more

and more we’re seeing New York and other places where flooding is a growing concern,” said David Kusturin from WT. The project will also add a 200-

The system will taper down from Commissioners Road to the ship channel, and will act mostly as a dry park until heavy rainfall, when it will act as relief for the Don River.

The land around the valley will be raised over a metre to keep flood water under control.

“This used to be the largest wetland in all of Lake Ontario,” said Kusturin. “Unfortunately it was filled for industrial purposes many years ago so we want to try to recreate some of that.”

Once the EA is completed, it will be sent to the Ministry of Environment for approval. The project will then need funding, meaning that construction won’t start for at least two years, according to Dion.

Visit www.trca.on.ca/dmnpea for details on the project, public meetings, and how to submit comments.

TRCA will accept comments until Aug. 8.

ith Toronto Public Health now reporting it has found mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus within the city limits, residents must take the threat seriously and protect themselves and those they love.

Public health monitors 43 mosquito traps across the city, and would not say the exact location where the infected insects were found.

Instead, Elaine Pacheco, Healthy Environments manager with public health, said all Torontonians need to take precautions.

While West Nile is not usually fatal in humans, it can be. There have been hundreds of cases reported over the years, and some people have died in our city from the virus. It could happen our view again.

For most people exposed to the virus, though, the symptoms don’t Basic even show. For about one in five symptoms can include precautions people, fever, body aches, nausea, vomitadvised ing and headaches. Less than one per cent of people infected require hospitalization, Pacheco said.

Last year, Toronto Public Health said 94 people were diagnosed with West Nile in the city and there were 100 infected mosquito pools discovered through testing.

Residents need to remember there is a chance they could be exposed to an infected mosquito. But by taking some basic precautionary steps, they can be protected.

People can reduce their risk by wearing lightcoloured long-sleeved shirts, pants, socks and a hat while outdoors. Mosquitoes are especially active at dusk and dawn, and at those times extra precautions, including the use of insect repellent, are advised.

Residents can also lessen the chance of mosquito breeding by making sure the habitats that support them are dealt with. In particular, make sure standing water such as bird feeders, plant pots and the like are either emptied or refilled with fresh water.

Mosquitoes love to breed in such environments.

Protecting our indoor living space by making sure screens on windows and doors do not have holes is also important.

While Torontonians should not live in fear of mosquitoes, we should look after ourselves and continue to make the rest of the summer healthy and happy.

Former budget chief ponders running for mayor The electoral battleground that was formerly known as Scarborough could become very interesting in 2014.

Scratch that.

It’s already interesting, now that Mayor Rob Ford has managed to gather enough votes to support building subway tunnels east and north from Kennedy station, a move that at once degrades the reach of rapid transit in Scarborough and feeds the local appetite for heavy-duty infrastructure improvements.

Scarborough voters’ good will on this matter could well send Ford’s damaged mayoralty into a second term, scandals be damned.

What it’s on the verge of becoming is titanically interesting.

David Soknacki, a former budget chief under mayor David Miller and a former councillor from Scarborough’s east end, is considering adding his name to the growing list of high-profile candidates for

david nickle the city the next mayor of Toronto.

Of all of them – Karen Stintz, John Tory, Olivia Chow – he’s got the lowest profile.

Smaller ideas Since stepping away from council in 2006, Soknacki’s been spending his time heading up Parc Downsview Park, writing a column for this newspaper and tending his spice manufacturing and exporting business, Ecom Food Industries.

But should Soknacki choose to run, Ford will be in for a fight – at least in Scarborough.

Soknacki and Ford have certain similarities.

Both are business owners – although unlike Ford, who inherited his share of Deco Labels from his late father, Soknacki started his

own business.

Both are Progressive Conservatives, and both came to council with ideas to reform the place – although in this case, Soknacki’s ideas were smaller than Ford’s notion of stopping a gravy train.

It was enough for Soknacki to push a motion to end nepotistic hiring in councillors’ offices.

Both have ideas about transit in Scarborough.

But while both agree it needs to be improved, beyond that their divergence could not be more pronounced.

Ford, in case anyone missed it, is a subway man.

Soknacki has been a consistent supporter of light rail. Ford is working on ways to pay for the subway.

Soknacki is supporting a plan that is already financed by the provincial government.

So if it goes ahead, there will be a spectacle of two candidates: both wealthy and Conservative; one from

Etobicoke who shows his love for Scarborough with the promise of a subway; another who shows his love for Scarborough by living there, and promising the old light rail plan.

Toronto is of course larger than Scarborough.

But if Ford wants to win a second term, he can’t afford to lose what amounts to nearly a third of the entire city.

Facing Chow or Stintz or even Tory, Ford’s support in Scarborough is strong.

Facing an opponent with hometown bona fides and a strong argument against the chimeric promise of an unfunded subway line, the mayor could be in real trouble.

Even if Soknacki can’t persuade the rest of the city to put him over the top on election day, the damage his candidacy can do to the mayor’s base could be enough to topple him.

The Beach pool with a view is finally back as the Donald D. Summerville pool opened Friday.

The pool had a delayed opening this summer due to extensive ongoing construction to rehabilitate the building, which is more than 50 years old.

“It’s nothing sexy,” said Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon on opening day.

“It’s all work that’s needed to be done for quite a while.”

The construction, which was led by Toronto Parks, Forestry, and Recreation, included finishing a concrete deck around the pools, which

is temperature sensitive and faced delays due to the rough weather Toronto has been experiencing.

“People are thrilled it’s open and people were upset especially given the heat and the kind of global warming summer we’ve had,” McMahon said.

The repairs are set to continue in the fall, but the pool will stay open an extra week until Sunday, Sept. 8 because of the delays caused.

The pool had a slow start today with only a few swimmers, but those there opted to take on the high dive into the cold water.

“It feels good; you know, it’s nice, the water’s cold,” said Andrew McGrady from

He came to the pool with his mom and was happy to find it had finally opened.

Scarborough resident Gary Lochhead was also at opening day.

Food trucks add to the neighbourhood: Councillor Colle >>>from page 1 -neurs, really it would be difficult to do another summer season. But more importantly it’s to let everyone have a taste of it.

“Let’s see that the trucks do well, and hope that for people who have concerns, some of those may be allayed in terms of impact on traditional restaurants.”

In the past, concerns have been raised that food trucks will swoop into neighbourhoods and harm

the business of brick-and-mortar restaurants whose owners have made significant investments in Colle said he doesn’t believe that will happen.

“I was recently in Vancouver, and saw them in parks, on boulevards,” he said.

“I remember one up against the railings of a patio of a restaurant.

And the patio was packed and the food truck did OK business. We have to not be quite so timid.”

Owners of Gourmet Stuft, Lance Freelan, foreground, with David Orzakovski in the truck window, had their first day of business selling unique sauages at the CNE Food Truck Frenzy in 2012.

Colle said eventually he’d like to see food trucks permitted on designated spots along boulevards. In some cases, he said doing so would actually improve the community.

“I’ve got neighbourhoods in my ward that having one would help the existing businesses, because there’s no activity, or more extremely, there’s no food,” he said.
