Physician assistant at MGH named best in Canada Canadian Association of Physician Assistants honours Maureen Taylor Tara HaTHerly thatherly@insidetoronto.com

Dan Pearce/Metroland

Michael Garron Hospital’s Maureen Taylor prepares fecal transplants for patients with C. difficile, which is one of her many tasks as a physician assistant.

“I love the interactions day-to-day with patients and people who work here ... I love the doctors I work with, I love the hospital. I think I’ll stay for a while.”

– Maureen Taylor

In the emergency department at Sunnybrook Hospital, Taylor did everything from setting fractures to suturing cuts. At MGH, she helps ID doctors see more patients by taking on some of their workload, freeing them up to do more difficult tasks. As well as helping patients at MGH, and Sunnybrook before that, she has helped advocate for patients throughout Canada who wanted access to assisted dying. In early 2013, before assisted dying was legalized in 2016 by a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada ruling, Taylor’s husband, Dr. Donald Lowe, was diagnosed

with a brain tumour. He was unable to have the assisted death he desired. “It wasn’t a possibility for Don, but I decided that after he died I was going to make sure that other Canadians who wanted that choice would be able to have it,” Taylor shared. “No thanks to me, the Supreme Court decision came down, and now we’ve had legal assisted dying since June.” She continues to be involved with assisted dying advocacy, and is part of a task force at MGH to support staff when patients request the procedure.

Being a PA is great for people who want to work in medicine, but can’t commit to the several years of medical school it takes to become a doctor, she said. Although they work under the direction and supervision of doctors, PAs are able to do many different things. Taylor cautioned though, that like any new profession, there are still kinks to be worked out for PAs in Ontario. The profession is not yet regulated in the province, nor is it funded by the government. Currently, Ontario PAs are paid by hospitals or doctors that employ them, which can lead to job stability issues if cutbacks need to be made by health-care providers. After switching careers from journalism to health care, Taylor thinks she’ll stick with being a PA. “It’s been an interesting journey,” she said. “It worked out

really well. “I love the interactions dayto-day with patients and people who work here ... I love the doctors I work with, I love the hospital,” she added. “I think I’ll stay for a while.”

A physician assistant (PA) helps doctors see more patients by performing an array of services that can include interviewing and examining patients, performing selected procedures and more. There are approximately 500 PAs working in health care throughout Canada, mostly in Ontario and Manitoba. Although Canada has only had PAs in civilian settings for less than 10 years, they have been used for decades in the United States, where they number in the tens of thousands. The profession was borne out of the military, with former military medics being the first to work as PAs in both Canada and the United States.

A physician assistant at Toronto’s Michael Garron Hospital has been named the best in Canada by the Canadian Association of Physician Assistants. Maureen Taylor received the 2016 physician assistant (PA) of the year award at the association’s annual conference, held in Winnipeg, Manitoba from Oct. 27 to 30. Taylor was preparing to mix feces for a fecal transplant when Metroland Media Toronto caught up with her at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) recently. “I don’t think I’m the best PA in Canada,” Taylor said humbly, adding she’s honoured to have received the award. Preparing and administering fecal transplants for patients with C. difficile is just one of the many things Taylor does during her days at MGH. She works in infectious disease (ID), helping doctors assess, examine and treat patients. It has been less than 10 years since Canadian doctors and hospitals started using PAs. Taylor, a former CBC health reporter, was part of Canada’s inaugural graduating class of PAs, graduating from McMaster University in 2010. She worked in the emergency department at Sunnybrook Hospital before coming to MGH in 2015. “PAs are generalists, so they can work in any field, and that’s what I like about the profession,” said Taylor, noting she’s particularly happy to be working in ID. “I have the best job,” she said. “I was always interested in infectious diseases. As a reporter, those were the stories that I loved covering.” She is one of six PAs working at MGH. Taylor initially enrolled in the two-year PA course thinking it would be a good way to enhance her health-reporting skills. “This looked like a good way to do sort of a mini medical school,” she said. “I thought OK, when I graduate, I won’t actually go work as a PA, I’ll come back as a journalist ... but I didn’t go back, and I thought what the heck, I’ll give this a try. I got a job at Sunnybrook kind of right off the bat, and I haven’t really looked back.”

Toronto Council mustn’t be timid when it comes to highway tolls

The Beach Mirror, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

The Beach Mirror is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2. Phone: 416-340-1981 Web: www.mediacouncil.ca

ext week, Toronto Council will gather to talk about the prospect of tolling two highways: the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway. It wasn’t so very long ago that politically at least, such conversation would have been unthinkable. Ontario’s only experiment with a toll road, the privatized Highway 407, has not been the best proof-ofconcept for commuters and taxpayers - and that was a road that was purpose-built in parallel to the existing toll-free Highway 401. The idea of putting tolls on roads already built, without easy free alternatives, has been political poison for more than a decade in this town. Now, road tolls on the DVP and the Gardiner are more pill than poison, and even John Tory, who once ran for mayor opposing them, seems to understand that. He’s thrown the weight of his office behind the idea, along with a couple of other revenue sources - a hotel tax, and the closing of a tax exemption for vacant businesses - and it’s unlikely that Toronto Council will turn him down next week. Of course, voting in favour of tolls will be easier for some councillors than others. Those who represent wards along the two highways will get pushback from their residents. Indeed, Tory’s own deputy mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong’s ward 34 (Don Valley East) straddles the Don Valley Parkway and at the Executive Committee he was concerned that his constituents would wind up being disproportionately gouged with tolls. His solution was to look into providing a cap on tolls for Toronto residents. There will likely be other solutions designed to mitigate the impact of the new fee on constituents by the time this gets to Council and we would urge councillors to look at any such measures with caution. That’s because by any estimation, as ambitious as it might seem to raise money for transit and transportation through road tolls, road tolls alone are not enough. Mayor Tory selected his three revenue measures from a list of nine put forward by city staff. Those include alcohol and sales tax, an income tax, changes in residential property tax rates, a parking tax and the reintroduction of the vehicle registration tax, at double the rate that it had when briefly in place. At some point, council will have to revisit some or all of these measures, after having taken this first step of tolling roads. Knowing that, it would behoove councillors not to stumble out the gate.

Continuing our rooming house standoff in the suburbs The electrified third rail of municipal politics isn’t road tolls, after all. No, in what used to be Toronto’s suburbs, it’s rooming houses. Homeowners in Scarborough, North York and north Etobicoke can’t abide them. A generation after amalgamation they are illegal, a threat to property values, blamed for nearly everything dragging a neighbourhood down. Yet, those parts of the city - in five selected areas across the north end - are where city staff want to introduce some form of legal, licensed rooming houses before the next city election in 2018. Here’s a prediction on the number of rooming houses licensed north of Highway 401 by then: none. It’s easy for suburban

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto councillors to side with homeowners, call for fresh crackdowns, talk about petitioning the province to give city bylaw enforcers the right to immediately enter homes. None of this will change things in the five selected areas, and these councillors know it. Enforcement takes too long; fines are too low. Demand for cheap housing in these places isn’t going away.

shutting them all before licensing begins is impossible. In old Toronto, licensing at least provides rules and inspections that can keep people safe. Mel Lastman - once mayor of a North York where three persons unrelated by blood or marriage couldn’t legally live together - used to say legal basement apartments would lead to disaster in his former suburban city. The province made second suites legal in Toronto - all of amalgamated Toronto - in 1995, and the disaster has yet to arrive.

Four are near campuses (Humber College North, Seneca’s Newnham, York University’s Downsview, University of Toronto Scarborough) enrolling more students than they can house; the fifth, is across northwest Scarborough, in aging neighbourhoods conveniently close to Markham. It’s said many rooming house tenants don’t know their housing is illegal, but let’s assume many do. They are usually newcomers to Canada, or young adults, or both. They learn they need to break the rules, to dump their garbage somewhere else, to furtively move their cars around, and to expect no protection from the city they live in. Some rooming houses need to be shut down, but

with children from across the city, a Christmas. This year, about 800 food and gift hampers will be distributed in Ward 32 through the Share-AChristmas program. Once again, Community Centre 55 will also be running an Emergency Toy Clinic. Upwards of 550 children from all over Toronto will be receiving gifts from the centre on Friday, Dec. 23 This wouldn't be possible without the invaluable contributions of hundreds of volunteers and donors. "They're the reason we're able to do what we do. We couldn't do this without them," said Nancy Culver, CC55's volunteer and special events co-ordinator, offering her sincere appreciation to everyone who gives of their time and donates food, toys and money to the program.

"On December 22, the whole community comes out to give people a Christmas." Culver said Delivery Day is especially magical as more than 3,200 boxes of food and presents are packed up and shipped out of Community Centre 55 in a matter of about four hours. Executive Director Debbie Visconti said there's still a great need for nonperishable food donations, especially peanut butter, canned veggies, beans, meat, fish and soups as well as rice, pancake mix, pasta and sauce, and cereal. The centre could also really use monetary donations for purchasing fresh food as well as gift cards donations for teens, not to mention pet food. Charitable tax receipts are available. People can drop off donations directly to Community Centre 55, 97 Main

St. at Swanwick Avenue. Food donations are also being accepted at the Beaches Recreation Centre at 6 Williamson Rd., Mars Beach Diner at 1987 Queen St. E., Omega Health and Fitness at 1089 Kingston Rd ., and at the FreshCo at 2490 Gerrard St. E. until Sunday, Dec. 18 As always, the program, which Visconti affectionately referred to as CC55's "Miracle on Main Street", has an open call for volunteers to help out with a variety of tasks. "We need people to help us. School runs late this year so we need those extra hands on Delivery Day this time around," she said. This year's ShareA-Christmas campaign launched on Sunday, Nov. 27 in the Upper Beach with the 10th annual Hamper's Santa Claus Parade on Kingston Road.

City plans meeting on accessibility at inaccessible venue Consultation moved to second location but that site also unsuitable JOaNNa LavOIe jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Toronto city planners thought they’d found the perfect place to hold a meeting on an accessible, affordable housing project in Toronto’s east end. The only trouble? The Royal Canadian Legion Baron Byng Beaches Branch 1/42 at 243 Coxwell Ave. isn’t accessible. Late last week, a number of residents called the city after learning the only way to gain access to the local legion is by using a set of seven steps. The consultation was then moved to the nearby Lazy Daisy’s Café; at 1515 Gerrard St. E., but that space was also found to be unsuitable as its washroom

facilities are in the basement. Late last week, the city announced it is postponing the meeting until early next year until it can find an accessible location in the community. “There was an oversight. We should have confirmed it was fully accessible and we didn’t. It’s really important to us that we are as inclusive as possible,” said Kyle Knoeck, manager of community planning for Toronto and East York District - East Section. “I’m thankful to the residents who contacted us because they alerted us to the issue. We tried to find an alternative, Lazy Daisy’s, but there was no accessible washroom.” Nine-year east Toronto resident Stephanie Ball was one of the residents who contacted City Planning as well as her local councillor, Paula Fletcher. “I wanted to check out the meeting but found out the (legion) was not accessible,” said Ball, who for the last 11 years

has lived with the effects of multiple, progressive auto-immune disorders and has used a power wheelchair for the last six. She was also unimpressed that the alternative venue, Lazy Daisy’s, didn’t have accessible washrooms. rights. “I thought maybe this would be my starting point,” she smiled. “I’m grateful they listened and postponed the meeting. I’m just really glad my voice was heard.” And while Ball said she’s pleased that the city is taking steps to rebook the community consultation at a more suitable location, she wishes accessibility wasn’t an afterthought. “It doesn’t make sense at all. (The city) should have just booked an accessible facility to begin with,” she said, adding unfortunately a lot of people with disabilities are forced to sacrifice their rights and dignity to get around in an often inaccessible world.

Stephanie Ball, who has used an electric wheelchair to get around for the last six years, was shocked to learn the city planned a meeting on accessible housing in an inaccessible building.

Beary Merry Christmas Arthur Potts

MPP Beaches–East York Constituency Office 1821 Danforth Avenue Toronto M4C 1J2

Metroland Media is very proud to be the founder of the Beary Merry Christmas Campaign. For the 14th consecutive year, Beach Mirror employees will deliver teddy bears to children spending the holidays in our local hospitals. We are so glad to have Samko & Miko as the ofﬁcial sponsor of this year’s teddy bears. As you can see, there are many other community minded businesses in the area that have generously purchased a bear for a needy child this season. We thank all of our partners for helping us put smiles on the faces of so many children this holiday season.
