Olive Dodds celebrates her 102nd birthday

PEC hosts mock fire exercise

PARK YOGA

DANIELLE MILLEY dmilley@insidetoronto.com Few have witnessed as much in their life as Olive Dodds. Fewer still can sit down and recall those memories. There was the invention of the television, the advent of commercial aviation, the creation of the personal computer and don’t even get her started on the changes in nurses uniforms. Dodds said the changes in flying have been the biggest change in her life. “There were just little two-winged planes when I was a kid during the war,” Dodds said. That would be the First World War, which Dodds said she can remember bits of. Born in England on Aug. 12, 1910, Dodds celebrated her 102nd birthday this week with an English tea with family Sunday afternoon and a surprise party at Toronto East General Hospital (TEGH) where she has been a volunteer for 27 years – almost as long as she’s lived in Canada. Her fellow volunteers, including many from her knitting group, staff and Dodds’ family – daughter Kate Parley and granddaughter Jane – joined in the party, which overwhelmed Dodds. “This is the biggest surprise I’ve ever had,” she said. Dodds was feted with cake and tea, flowers and balloons. The retired nurse lived in Newcastle, England, through two world wars. It is where she met her >>>BEING, page 3

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Just more than a year ago, Nadia Sandhu, Jonathan Hlibka and Euan Mowat took a chance on a struggling single-screen theatre in the heart of Leslieville. Twelve months later, the trio’s “labour of love” – Projection Booth East at 1035 Gerrard St. E. at Jones Avenue – is a thriving movie house known across the GTA for its art, schlock, indie and foreign films. “We never imagined we’d get into running a theatre. It’s a crazy scheme that actually worked out. It’s our very own film adventure,” said Sandhu, who alongside Hlibka, co-owns Studio Film Group, a Leslievillebased film distribution, marketing and production company. The duo handles the day-to-day operations of Projection Booth East, while Mowat, a local entrepreneur who owns the neighbouring Grinder Coffee, takes care of food concessions and any logistic details for the 280-seat cinema. “We’re all passionate about it and we’re having a hell of a great time. It’s really rewarding. We hope we’ll see some of the films we’ve screened here win Academy Awards,” said Sandhu, during a recent interview inside the lobby of the 101-year-old repertory theatre.

who is passionate about improving the local retail strip. “I guess the timing was right. The (former) Gerrard Cinema wasn’t doing so well. Everything just fell into place,” she said, adding the key to success at Projection Booth East has been having an open mind when it comes to programming and booking the space. IDEAS WELCOME

Co-owners Euan Mowat, left, and Jonathan Hlibka reopened the Gerrard Cinema’s doors to the public in July 2011 as Projection Booth East.

She said the idea of opening their own theatre was a bit of a pipe dream at first as she and Hlibka were facing a lot of challenges finding locations to screen the films they were trying to promote for their clients. “I’d been eyeing the space for some time. I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we walked to the end of the street to see a movie?’” laughed Sandhu, admitting they both had no idea how much work was required

to run a theatre. “It’s been a lot of fun. That’s why we do it. It’s been a great ride. You just have to expect the unexpected and roll with it sometimes.” Aside from a lot of hard work, Sandhu said it was also a case of being at the right place at the right time as well as having a little bit of good luck along the way, which included connecting with charismatic local entrepreneur, Mowat,

“Anything is possible. We’re willing to give things a try. We can try out whatever we want to reach our market,” she said. In the past year, the cinema has held Bollywood Basement nights on Sundays, playing retro south Asian films found in the theatre’s basement. They’ve programmed Monsters & Martians sci-fi film nights, a concept so well-received it’s now being rolled out as a four-day film festival, the first of its kind in Canada, this November at Projection Booth East. They’ve screened retro cartoons for kids Saturday mornings, Super Punch kung-fu nites on Saturday evenings and monthly horror film “Fright Nights,” and a Monty Pythona-thon, to name just a few. “We’ve done some crazy stuff. We’re learning along the way and lis-

tening to feedback,” Sandhu said. “We’re open to people coming and pitching us their ideas and we’ll see if we can make it work. So far there hasn’t been a night we couldn’t do. You name it. The sky’s the limit.” Scores of people and groups have also rented the space for all kinds of events from comedy nights to private film screenings to live music events and shadow cast presentations. There’s even been a marriage proposal. This spring, some interesting clues about the century-old theatre’s past came to light with the discovery in May of two “secret” storage rooms on either side of the movie screen. “I was basically looking behind the screen and a saw mezzanine so I climbed up and found two large rooms,” said Gareth McGorman, a part-time staff member at Projection Booth East. Inside those dusty spaces, he found a verwitable treasure trove of film paraphernalia from bygone eras including pieces of sets, a Union Jack flag, clothing, posters from silent film serials, several piano rolls for silent films (the oldest one dates back to 1915), and even an edition of the Toronto Telegraph newspaper from 1931. >>>UPCOMING, page 18

Being happy with what you have is the key to a long life >>>from page 1 husband Ernie and raised their daughter Parley. Dodds was content i n E n g l a n d until the death of her husband so she decided to move to Canada where Kate had settled. She arrived in December 1984 to live with her daughter, sonin-law and two grandchildren in the Kingston Road and Woodbine Avenue area. By January she was volunteering with TEGH after being introduced to the hospital by Parley’s neighbour, who was a volunteer. “Once a hospital is in your blood...hospital life is very attractive,” she said. Dodds began her career in health care when she was 17; she would take a break once she got married, but when her husband went to serve in the Second World War, she went back into nursing at the Royal

Victoria Infirmary. After the war, she and her husband started a family with the birth of Parley. They had a normal family life that included holidays around the country; Cornwall was their favourite destination. She said she didn’t travel abroad much - most travel was done by trains in her day. Her move to Canada wasn’t a big adjustment; she was happy to be with Parley, her son-in-law Alec and grandchildren Jane and Andrew. “Canada has been very kind to me,” Dodds said. “I like the people.” Parley believes her mother’s commitment to staying active and her outlook on life has contributed to her longevity. “She loves to be out and socializing,” Parley said. “She’s interested

in life. She’s interested in people. She wants to know what’s going on in the world. She’s not content to sit and vegetate.” Dodds attends a lunch club Mondays and plays euchre on Thursdays in addition to knitting dolls for the hospital’s gift shop and clothes and hats for newborns. She plays games on the computer and went through a Game Boy phase in the early ’90s when she was into Tetris. “I have an iPad and I’m trying to keep it from her or I’ll never see it again,” Parley joked. Dodds contributes her making and surpassing the century mark to both her attitude and good gene’s on her dad’s side - where many relatives lived to their 90s. To be happy and content with your life,” she said is the secret. “To accept what you have.”

Easy steps for better waste diversion

ow well do you recycle? Do you ensure everything that should go into your green bin makes it in there? The merits of public and private garbage collection systems in Toronto will continue to be debated. It’s a debate that was renewed last week when the residential portion of the city from Yonge Street to the Humber River officially switched to a private system of collection. This now means about half of the city – west of Yonge – has privatized collection (Etobicoke has had its residential waste collected privately since before amalgamation). The remainder of the city continues to have its residential waste collected by city employees. But let’s think beyond the our view method of collection. Let’s think about what we, as residents, are Take time to doing. review your Residents must use this time as an opportunity to embrace better habits of their own when garbage habits they put out their waste for collection. We must ask ourselves: Are we doing all we can? Doing all we can means ensuring residential waste is properly diverted into garbage, recycling and green bins. This may mean taking a bit of sorting time beforehand. Refer to your waste collection calendar or use the Waste Wizard online tool to get more information if you’re unsure about what goes where. Accessing information is straightforward; it’s not hard. According to figures from the City of Toronto, our recycling has a 20 per cent contamination rate (referring to items that can’t be recycled). Reducing that number is a meaningful and achievable goal. Ultimately, waste that’s properly sorted before collection means more efficient collection. That’s ultimately better for the taxpayer. That’s the benefit. As for the public versus private collection debate, let it continue. Will cost-saving success experienced by this program merit expansion? Will the dire warnings of worsening service be correct? Maybe further adjustments to Toronto’s garbage collection system won’t even be deemed necessary. Regardless of that outcome, there are manageable tasks we as residents can do now. The first week wasn’t perfect for the new service provider, as reports of delays surfaced. As much as one would like the smoothest of transitions in a service as important as waste collection, sometimes that’s not always possible – particularly in a large city. A core component of elected representation is ensuring efficient and effective delivery of services. Constituents can do their part by ensuring as little of Toronto’s waste as possible goes to landfill. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

We are concerned to learn that cutbacks the provincial government is making to doctors’ compensation threaten the viability of pediatricians’ practices in our community. Our pediatrician recently provided an outstanding example of why we need local doctors caring for our children. In May, our second child was born. A communication mix-up at the hospital had our son discharged before a blood test for jaundice was done. Two days after he left the hospital, we took him to see our pediatrician. She was suspicious something had been missed and ordered a blood test. At 11 p.m. she called us twice to warn us our son was in danger and we had to take him to the hospital. Our local pediatrician saved our son from brain damage or death. When kids’ health is an issue, voters have long memories. Protect local pediatricians by telling your MPP to reverse the cutbacks that threaten their offices. Nicholas and Katherine Manning

Reader suggests we talk about sychronizing traffic lights Everybody talks about gridlock, but those in charge are obviously not interested in the extra work it may need. Years ago I contacted my councillor about synchronizing traffic lights on major routes in the GTA. He referred the matter to one of the fellows in charge for our district. That’s where it died. Considering the City of Hamilton introduced this system many years ago, why are our people

ignoring the possibility of moving traffic just a little faster? In Hamilton it is possible to drive from one end of the city to the other without ever having to stop at a traffic light, while driving at the proper speed limit. Just consider the amount of pollution we can avoid by not forcing all vehicles to a continuous stop and go. How much pollution does a single truck emit in this system? And how much less

expensive is this suggestion, compared to building subways? There is no guarantee drivers will switch to subways and the big trucks will still have to deliver their loads. The word “synchronizing” has recently appeared when we talk about gridlock, but has the possibility actually been discussed seriously? Please lend your support to this idea whose time

came long ago. Let’s get the people in charge of traffic lights moving by putting pressure on them. If Hamilton can do it, so can Toronto. And if it requires more one-way streets, so be it. An additional benefit will be to discourage speeders and save gasoline. Or is big gas actually supporting a system that increases their sales? Herb Kucera

Minimize labour market inequities to help stem poverty in communities It’s disheartening to learn funding for many of the youth programs in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods is running out. While these programs are important, they are only the first step and more needs to be done to stem poverty in

priority neighbourhoods. There have been many media reports and academic studies that have documented the difficulties of young people entering the labour market. This literature shows the situation is considerably more dire for racialized

graduates. The most effective way of eliminating poverty is to tackle its root causes: underemployment, unemployment and lower average pay for marginalized communities. Numerous studies have shown that marginalized

communities have lower employment and participation rates and are compensated less for their labour. By minimizing labour market inequities, we can reduce poverty and its associated effects. Richard Sunichura

Waterfront Toronto, city present plans to finance port lands People have until this Sunday to have their say on plan JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com A new 30-year plan to finance and implement the redevelopment of the nearly 1,000-acre port lands has been unveiled. Waterfront Toronto, alongside the City of Toronto, presented the multi-phase concept to reporters hours before a large public meeting at the Toronto Reference Library. (Those who were unable to attend can still take part by visiting www. portlandsconsultation.ca. An online version of the gathering’s roundtable discussions will be open until Friday.) “We’ve really confirmed this is the right direction and we’ve found ways to do it better,” said John Campbell, the waterfront agency’s president and CEO Aug. 8. He said in many ways the original plan, which includes flood protecting and re-naturalizing the mouth of the Don River, continues to remain intact. What’s been modified is the estimated cost to do so, as well as how it will be carried out, said Campbell, adding the $1.9 billion redevelopment – which has been

reduced by about $500 million in infrastructure costs from the original plan presented two years ago – would take place in six phases starting with Cousins and Polson quays, the Film Studio Precinct, the Lower Don Lands, the River Mouth Naturalization and finishing with the balance of the port lands north of the ship channel.

for additional height and density allowances. Getting money from tax increment financing is not part of the “break even or better” plan, he said pointing to the many challenges to redeveloping the port lands, notably remediating contaminated soil on the site, which is located in a flood plain and has poor ground conditions that require digging up to 80 feet to the bedrock to ensure future building foundations will be solid. The lack of adequate or even existing infrastructure such as roads, sewers and watermain is another significant hurdle to overcome, Kusturing added. The cost of the project also includes creating strong pedestrian, bicycle, transit and road networks as well as numerous green spaces for all to enjoy. One of the major cost-saving measures is the realignment of the mouth of the Don River so it flows out to the Toronto Harbour at the end of the Cherry Street bridge instead of from the Keating Channel. Michael Van Valkenburgh of New York’s Michael Van Valkenburgh

Financing options Obtaining funding to get the initial flood protection and infrastructure work started is another hurdle the city and Waterfront Toronto have also mapped out, said David Kusturin, Waterfront Toronto’s chief operating officer. He said a number of financing options are being explored for the redevelopment of the port lands including obtaining money from the private sector, city-wide and area-specific development charges, loans from the city or other levels of government against future land sales. Lastly, Kusturin said money could also come from Section 37 of the Planning Act, where developers to pay for local amenities in exchange

This is how the port lands look now. You can have your say on the proposed redevelopment plan until Sunday, Aug. 19.

Associates was on hand to explain the changes to his firm’s 2010 plan for that important portion of the site, which will now continue to maintain an area for port operations and local industries. He also spoke about plans to “green” the Don Roadway and simplify its capacity to function as a floodway, and make Commissioners Street a focal point. “This will become a really fantastic street in the plan for the city,

eventually,” he said, pointing to “catalytic waterfront sites and cultural buildings” in the port lands. “It’s just going to be an amazing space to live.” The 300 or so people who recently attended the final public meeting on the plan also had a lot to say about it. During a facilitated roundtable discussion, attendees sounded off on the port lands as a whole, the >>>PORT LANDS, page 18

Athletes for the Ontario Summer Games are now in Toronto ERIC HEINO active@insidetoronto.com After two years of preparation, the Ontario Summer Games (OSG) is now on. The opening ceremony of the bi-annual Olympic-style competition is at 7 p.m. tonight at Varsity Stadium. About 2,500 athletes from across the province will be competing in sports from rugby and sailing to fencing and softball Aug. 16 to 19. Eighteen sports are being held at 19 venues across Toronto. Canoe/kayak is being held in Welland, cycling will take place in Albion Hills, skeet shooting is held in Oshawa, sporting rifle will take place in St. Catharines and the triathlon is in Brampton. Organizing committee chair Rahul Bhardwaj and his team began preparations for the Toronto event only a few months after the completion of the 2010 Games in Sudbury. The challenge is to take all that planning and make it a reality, he said. “It is truly remarkable what we have built with these Games,” he said. “The organizing committee has been working for 18 months and now thousands of volunteers are also operating to help the Games. So many people are civically engaged and want to be the best host to their province. They are doing an enormous amount of work right now.”

‘Some younger athletes will actually taper their training off so they don’t hurt their muscles and some will amp it up to get more endurance. A lot of what we do becomes mental training...’ ~ Lana Perry, former archer and administrator with the Summer Games The bulk of the athletes are arriving today. In addition to preparing 13 athlete villages and 22 sporting venues, organizers are also ensuring proper food preparation, making transportation arrangements and managing the opening ceremony. Mental training The athletes have a lot to do as well, focusing their minds and making final preparations for what is, for some, the highest level of competition of their lives. Every athlete approaches the competition differently, but Lana Perry knows the feeling. A former archery competitor, coach and current administrator with the OSG, Perry understands even the most stoic archers can get high strung, but have to focus on pre-games training. “Some younger athletes will actually taper their training off so they don’t hurt their muscles and some will amp it up to get more endurance. A lot of what we do becomes mental training. It really

differs depending on athletes,” Perry said. Athletes also need to fine tune their equipment in preparation for the event. Tweaking for the podium Even though everyone is coming from Ontario, the humidity and weather in Toronto can alter the functionality of equipment, Perry said. Restringing bows, tweaking rifle sights and double-checking bicycle tires can be the difference between standing on the podium and watching from the stands. The Games are seen as a gateway to further national and international competition, acting as qualifiers for most of the sports featured during the event, said Crystal Peiris, a games consultant with Sport Alliance of Ontario, the organization in charge of running the Summer Games for the provincial government. “The Ontario Games are a stepping stone for athletes to competitions like the nationals and the Canada Games, for example.”

The Games play a vital role in the long-term development of Ontario’s sports organizations and foster “unmatched” life skills and values that an athlete wouldn’t necessarily pick up in a classroom, Peiris said. Blair McIntosh, a former director of Games for Sport Alliance of Ontario and the director of sport for the 2015 Pan American Games, said the provincial Games teach “discipline, socialization, diversity, acknowledgment... it changes an athlete’s life.” “We have seen many of our athletes go from playground to (Olympic) podium and then go on after their athletic careers to accomplish great achievements in life,” said McIntosh. “And in almost all cases, they relate who they are and who they have become as a

result of competing in sport.” However, for many of the athletes, the Games is more than just competing, they are also excited about the social experience of meeting like-minded athletes. “A lot of the time they come away having met some very great people,” said Perry. “Even just wandering around in the dormitory, they are wearing different uniforms and they get to know each other. Being teenagers, they are very social an y way.” Tickets are available at each venue for $5. Tickets give people access to all venues for that day only. Pins are also available at each venue for $25, which gives holders access to all venues for the entire competition. ~ with files from Michele McLean and Sean Durack

Beach Summer Games venues The Summer Games are now on and there are two events taking place in the Beach. • The sailing competition is taking place at Ashbridge’s Bay Yacht Club, at 30 Ashbridges Bay Park Rd. Sailing competition is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Toronto sailing competitors include Connor McNeil, Matti Muru, Jacob Webster, John Gilchrist, Michael Robson, Amy DesBrisay, Jackie Muru, and Sara Gilchrist. • Beach volleyball is also being held at Ashbridge’s Bay.

Results are in for two east-end Olympic athletes running to victory The London Olympics are now history, and there were plenty of athletes from Toronto on the Canadian team including two with ties to the east end. Here’s a brief snapshot of how they fared. Visit insidetoronto.com for a complete list of how Toronto athletes did. Aaron Brown, 20 • 200m: missed out on the 200metres final by five one-hundreths of a second and placed ninth overall in a new personal best of 20.42 seconds, in the same heat as eventual gold medalist Usain Bolt. “I was much more relaxed,” Brown said in an interview on the Canadian Olympic Committee website. “It was great chasing Usain Bolt, he pulled me to a personal best. I never thought I would get this close to the final, I was just looking for that personal best and to not finish last.” Brown qualified for the semifinal with a third-place finish in his heat in a personal best time of 20.55s “I was so nervous, it is crazy out there,” he said on the Athletics Canada website. “...At around 120m I felt the lactic acid, but I said no way, man, this is the Olympics and just found another gear, ran guys down.” Brown grew up in the area

of Coxwell Avenue and Gerrard Street, attending Bowmore Road public school before heading to Birchmount Park Collegiate in south Scarborough for their exceptional athlete program.

He was a star in both track and football in school and is attending the University of Southern California on a track scholarship. Khetag Pliev, 28 • wrestling, 96kg: knocked out in the quarter-final round by eventual gold medalist Jacob Stephen Varner of the U.S. “I’m not very pleased with the result. Obviously with the next match I could’ve competed for a medal, but I’m still happy that I came and I am here,” said Pliev in an interview on the Canadian Olympic Committee website. “I performed and the overall experience was great. It’s been a long road to get here and I am very proud to represent Canada.” Pliev won his opening round of 16 match over Javier Cortina Lacerra of Cuba. Four years ago, Pliev, who wrestles out of Team Impact club at Broadview and Danforth, was a homeless person sleeping on a bench in the southwest corrner of Toronto’s Allan Gardens. “I never entirely gave up on the dream, even when I was on the bench...” he said in an interview. Born in Ossetia, Russia, he ultimately made Canada his permanent home in 2005, settling in Toronto. - w i t h f i l e s f r o m To r s t a r Services.

n Report available

The Environmental Study Report for the Don River and Central Waterfront Class Environmental Assessment (EA) is now complete and available for review. The document will be on the public record until Sept. 24. People can check out the report by visiting the Beaches Library. Complaints Anyone with outstanding issues about this project can contact James Yacoumidis, policy, planning and project consultant with the City of Toronto at Metro Hall, 18th floor, 55 John St., Toronto, ON, M5V 3C6, 416-392-8834 or www.toronto.ca/cleanwaterways. If concerns about this initiative cannot be resolved with the city, individuals or groups can request the Ontario Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part 2 of the EA Act, which addresses individual environmental assessments.

This request must be received in writing by Sept. 24 to Jim Bradley, minister of the environment, 77 Wellesley St. W., Ferguson Block, 11th floor, Toronto, ON, M7A 2T5. A copy must also be sent to the city contact listed above.

How much; your decision, your choices Do you know how much a funeral costs? Most people have no idea. If you listen to or read current multi-media advertising campaigns, you’ll likely believe a funeral costs $10,000 or more. The reality is if you ‘shop’ around a respectable and dignified funeral service can be arranged for about $5,000. Half of what the advertisements suggest. But yes, if you expand on the service or merchandise selected or are not careful about the funeral home you select, you can spend alot more than $10,000! Buyer beware! At Heritage Funeral Centre, most families spend alot less than $10,000 on a full traditional funeral service including one night of visiting in a premium room followed the next day with a church service and have a solid hardwood casket. A price much lower than most of our competitors’ prices for comparable service and casket. However, there is no question; even a $5,000 funeral is not an inexpensive proposition. At Heritage, we understand this and realize many family’s financial resources are limited. At Heritage, you can expect to have a completely appropriate service tailored for your budget without unnecessary purchases or suspicions about the advice of the Funeral Director. Heritage’s Funeral Directors work with each family to explore service and merchandise options including government assistance to make sure each funeral service is within each family’s financial means. They will not attempt to “up sell” but rather give professional advice to keep on budget. Importantly, Heritage’s trusted professionals do not earn a commission or bonus based on what they sell nor are they expected to meet any sales quotas. They are there for you; hopefully making a difficult time a little easier. They are only evaluated on how well they serve each family. Heritage Funeral Centre is a full service independently-owned funeral home with a remarkably simple plan: to consistently be the best value community funeral home in all of Toronto. We offer fair prices, have exceptional, compassionate and patient professional staff, and, an excellent facility that is second-to-none.

WoodGreen shares newcomer expertise with Austrian visitor DANIELLE MILLEY dmilley@insidetoronto.com With a history of helping newcomers, WoodGreen Community Services shared its expertise with the Austrian State Secretary for Integration last Thursday. On his two-day visit to Canada, Sebastian Kurz met with Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird before a short visit to WoodGreen’s Danforth Avenue offices. One of Toronto’s largest social services organizations, WoodGreen has many programs to help newcomers including its five-yearold program for newcomer youth. In the last few decades Austria has seen the number of immigrants rise and it hasn’t implemented programming to help them integrate so Kurz and his delegation came to Canada to learn from its experience. “We have a lot of work to do. We had a lot of immigrants in the past few decades, but not a lot of work was done. We didn’t do much to foster the integration process so a secretary of integration office was created to do some work,” Kurz said. Austria has a population of 8.5 million and 20 per cent of its people are immigrants; that number rises to 40 per cent in the capital of Vienna. Immigration has increased in recent years as Austria has a strong economy compared to most of Europe with an unemployment rate of just six per cent. Each year 140,000 people immigrate to Austria.

Austrian state secretary for integration Sebastian Kurz, left, talks with Uzma Hassan during a visit to WoodGreen Community Services’ Newcomer Youth Summer Program last Thursday.

“There are a lot of children who are very new (to Austria) and who have problems with the German language so we’re looking for new ideas to help these children get a good education,” he said in an interview. New ideas Kurz said 50 per cent of young people in Vienna were born outside the country. His office was created 16 months ago and he said the situation has steadily gotten better, but they’re still looking for new ideas. WoodGreen’s newcomer youth program sees on average more than 100 youth a month of whom 80 per cent have been in Canada less than three years with 40 per cent having arrived in the past year. Anwesha Sen came to Canada from India with her family 13 months ago; she’s been a part of the program at WoodGreen for a year.

“There are ups and downs to being a newcomer,” she said. “( WoodGreen) has been a constant outside of my home family.” Kurz spoke with Sen and several of the other youth who were at WoodGreen for its summer program. (Some even asked for the politician’s autograph). “It gave me a lot of confidence coming here and talking to people who have similar stories,” she said of the program. Shaida Addetia, manager of settlement services, said when the program first started the staff would go into schools and try to make connections with youth. They quickly learned students wouldn’t come to the program to speak with counsellors about issues they were experiencing, but if the program was organized around a variety of clubs or activities such as trips to the Royal Ontario Museum, they would begin to attract youth who in turn would begin to trust the staff and open up. “They forgot that they did not belong because they do belong here and then they start sharing,” Addetia said. “This is a safe place for them. They know this.” They also have a homework club to help the youth with school and they help get youth involved in volunteering to foster citizenship. It’s best practices such as these that Austrian officials wanted to learn about. “We have learned you have to work hard to foster the integration process,” Kurz said. “It doesn’t happen by accident.”

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment - Notice of Study Completion The City ofToronto has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to advance the recommendations of the City’s Wet Weather Flow Master Plan (approved by City Council in 2003) to capture and treat polluted stormwater and combined sewer overflows (CSO’s) that are discharged to the Don River and Central Waterfront. This will help to improve water quality and our environment. In addition, necessary upgrades have been identified to the City’s critical sanitary trunk sewer infrastructure within the study area to improve operations and service future growth. The study has defined the problems/opportunities, identified and evaluated alternatives, and determined a preferred solution and design in consultation with the City ofToronto, regulatory agencies, and the public.The City has accepted the consultant’s recommendations regarding the preferred solution and design, including the following project components: Sanitary Trunk Sewer System l A Lower Don/Coxwell BypassTunnel that will be used on a contingency basis as a bypass to the existing Coxwell SanitaryTrunk Sewer (STS) allowing for periodic maintenance and any necessary repairs of the Coxwell STS, l Four underground storage tanks for offline storage of peak sanitary flows where additional capacity is needed. l Upgrades to the NorthTorontoTreatment Plant (NTTP). Wet Weather Flow Collection and Storage System l Three integrated tunnels (Lower Don/Coxwell BypassTunnel,Taylor Massey CreekTunnel, and Inner HarbourTunnel) connected to an equivalent of 15 underground vertical storage shafts that will collect and store wet weather flows and convey these flows to a new wet weather flow treatment facility. l Three underground storage tanks for offline storage of wet weather flows from four remote outfall locations. Treatment of Collected Wet Weather Flow l A new wet weather treatment facility that will provide high-rate treatment of wet weather flows and will be located on future lakefill in the waterlot south of the existing Ashbridges BayTreatment Plant. l A new pumping station in Ashbridges Grove Park with forcemains connecting to the new wet weather flow treatment facility. l Retrofit of an existing CSO tank at the NorthTorontoTreatment Plant.

Port lands needs to have Upcoming plans for movie theatre character, residents say >>>from page 6 Lower Don Lands/Don River configuration, the business case and the next steps. People expressed a desire for the site to have more character, to have imaginative architecture and be more appealing. They also called for a focal point for the 1,000-acre tract, not just wall-to-wall condos. Some expressed concerns about the parcels of land in the various phases relating to other tracts in a way that doesn’t jeopardize the overall vision for the port lands, while others said it’s unfortunate a “magical” and award-winning plan for the mouth of the Don River has been sacrificed in the name of saving money. Attendees also spoke about diehard local industries and port uses “constraining” the vision for the port lands and said they should be relocated south on the ship channel to free up this space for more public uses. Investing in transit and having

Metrolinx, the provincial agency charged with coordinating and integrating a range of transit solutions for the GTA and Hamilton area, make transit a priority in the port lands was also raised. Further, those in attendance said they’re very interested in being kept abreast of the plan and timelines. The report on the Port Lands Acceleration Initiative will be considered by Mayor Rob Ford’s Executive Committee Sept. 10 and by city council Oct. 3. Once approved by the city, the Environmental Assessment for Don Mouth Naturalization Project could then take nine to 18 months to be approved by the provincial Ministry of the Environment. Visit www.portlandsconsultation.ca Last summer, Ward 2 Councillor Doug Ford proposed scrapping the existing plans for the port lands in favour of building a Ferris wheel, monorail, mega mall. Council voted instead to continue working with Waterfront Toronto.

>>>from page 3 McGorman also located a number of large movie posters including one of the circa 1937 film Seventh Heaven starring James Stewart as well as posters for Meet Me on Broadway (1946), The Song You Gave Me (1933) and Life with Blondie, a 1954 film based on the Archie newspaper comics. “Some of the artifacts we found are in poor shape but some are salvageable,” said McGorman, who has a background in archiving. “It was pretty exciting to find all this stuff. The first thing I did was document it all.” Sandhu said aside from being able to trace the various names of the former Gerrard Cinema including The Athenian, The Wellington, The Bonita and The Sri Lakshmi, they haven’t been able to uncover much else relating to its past. “In other movie theatres, you can trace their history but this one sort of falls off the grid,” she said, inviting anyone with stories, anecdotes or historical information to get in touch.

In the coming months, the plan is to renovate the inside of the main theatre space and expand the front stage area so it’s more convenient for music and theatre bookings.

On another note, Sandhu and Hlibka have also recently inked a deal with the Metro Theatre on Bloor Street West at Christie Street to run that two-screen venue in the same “art-schlock-indie-foreign” film format as Projection Booth East. Called Projection Booth Metro, the new sister space is currently being upgraded and the plan is to start screening films there in the evenings and on weekends by the end of the month.

Should you sell before buying a new home? You want to move. You want to buy a new home. Unfortunately, you are already living in one and aren't sure whether you should sell it before buying, or perhaps purchase one first and let the chips fall where they may. To help with this, take a look at some signs to watch for during the decision making process.

Signs you should buy

before selling: • You found your dream home: It happens. We walk into a home and it is everything we've ever wanted and, now, can't live without. If the home is within your budget and it makes sense for you to buy first, snap it up before someone else does. • It's a sellers' market: If there is a high demand for homes, then buying before selling is

a wise decision. You get a new home quickly and you can likely unload your old home right away. • Signs you should sell

before buying:

• You're not willing to budge on price: If you are not flexible on your asking price, then it may be best to sell before buying a home. When you buy first, there's a good chance that

you'll have to bend on your asking price if no one is biting. •• Money is tight: If you are barely making ends meet, then it would likely be difficult to maintain two homes for any period of time. Opting to sell your home first and have a little cushion in the bank before closing another home deal may be best in such a situation. – newscanada.com
