Lifeguard stations as winter art

®

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Five of the 13 lifeguard stations in the Beach are set to be temporarily transformed into unique works of art during the inaugural Winter Stations Design Competition.

Inspired by Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Warming Huts Art and Architecture Competition, the public art contest saw nearly 200 teams of international and local artists, designers and architects from 36 countries apply to take part.

R AW D e s i g n , Fe r r i s + Associates and Curio are behind the open art competition, which launched in October.

On Tuesday, organizers unveiled the list of the five finalists, who were asked to design installations based on the theme warmth as a guide.

They are: ‘Sling Swing’ by WMB Studio from London/ Liverpool, U.K.; ‘Driftwood Throne’ by DM-Studio from London, U.K.; ‘Wing Back’

by Tim Olson, from New Hampshire, U.S.A.; ‘HotBox’ by Michael MacLeod and Nicholas Croft, Toronto; and ‘Snowcone’

by Diana Koncan and Lily Jeon, both fourth-year students from Ryerson University’s Department of Architectural Science.

All of the designs are set to be erected from Feb. 13 to 16 >>>warmth, page 7

Monthly French Friday dinner talk turns to Paris attacks JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com About 30 members of Toronto’s Francophone community gathered recently at a Moroccan restaurant on Danforth Avenue for their monthly French Friday dinner.

One of the inevitable topics of conversation was last week’s deadly acts of terrorism in Paris, France, and surrounding area.

Like many, Dino Montervino, who moved to Toronto from Strasbourg, France, less than two months ago, has been following the situation online.

When the news broke of the Jan. 7 massacre at the Charlie Hebdo weekly newspaper, Montervino immediately visited the Le Monde website as well as iTELE, France’s 24-hour news channel for the latest updates.

“I know the newspaper Charlie Hebdo received some threats six or seven years ago but this is shocking.

I’m very sad,” said Montervino, who lives downtown.

He said he’s concerned about the further division terrorism may bring to France, which already experiences tension between its Arab and French

Toronto’s French community participated in the monthly French Friday dinner on Danforth Avenue and conversation turned to the recent Paris attacks. Here, a man holds a Je Suis Charlie sign Sunday at Nathan Phillips Square to honour the victims of the terrorist attacks.

communities.

“For me, I’m saddest for the Muslim population who lives in France,” said Montervino, whose family roots are Italian.

“I think the extreme right will gain ground. The media also plays

an important role and they need to understand the power they have.”

Montervino went on to say that although he may not always agree with what’s published in Charlie Hebdo, he feels the key point is the right to freedom of expression.

“It’s humour before anything,” he said, noting the tabloid pokes fun at all ethnicities and groups, not just Muslims.

“France is known for being a nation of human rights. No one deserves to die for expressing their opinion.”

Alex Leduc moved to Toronto from Paris about 13 years ago.

“I’m sad for the people who worked at Charlie Hebdo,” said Leduc, who lived in the south and studied in the west end of Paris.

He said the outcome of the recent terrorism is a sense of unease.

“I think people feel more insecure now. They don’t know if it will happen again,” said Leduc, who chatted with those at the French Friday dinner about the situation, but said people aren’t quite sure what to make of it all and what it will mean for France in the long run.

“It’s a shock, really.”

Jean-Marc, who preferred not

to give his last name, is originally from the Greater Paris Area but has called Canada home for close to five years.

Like his fellow Frenchmen, he closely followed last week’s events online.

Jean-Marc said acts of terrorism in France are not a new thing.

“Fundamentalism is a reality,” he said, noting fortunately authorities are able to foil most terrorists’ plans.

“It’s more about the psychological shock. Killing people is only a means to an end (for terrorists).”

He said the best way to refute terrorism is by going on living life peacefully and not letting terrorists establish a culture of fear in France or anywhere for that matter.

The Toronto French Friday group was established in 2006 as a way for those in the city’s Francophone community to gather on the first Friday of the month for dinner and socialization. All are welcome to attend. Visit http://goo.gl/zPd7Mr for more information.

The #REALgiving Project, a clothing drive spearheaded by members of the city’s boutique real estate industry, has succeeded in collecting 240 bags (1,100 pieces) of warm clothing for the homeless.

Sage Real Estate, BuzzBuzzHome and Spring Realty launched the initiative Tuesday, Jan. 6 with the goal of collecting a ton of warm clothes, coats and socks by midnight on Friday, Jan. 9.

Drop-off locations were available in Midtown, King West, Downtown, Leslieville, Liberty Village, King East, Corso Italia and Dundas West.

The items have been donated to the Rotary Club of Toronto Transition Centre at St. Michael’s Hospital, a drop-in centre that serves the city’s homeless and underhoused.

Organizers also collected about $400 in monetary donations, which they’ll use to purchase TTC tokens.

The tokens will also be donated to the same organization.

Organizations often need to adapt to better serve communities

rganizations grow. Sometimes they shrink.

But they have to evolve to remain relevant and cost-effective. In the case of United Way Toronto, sometimes they merge with another organization – the United Way of York Region.

That’s one example of a charitable merger aiming to have the whole of the two parts better serve the people of the region.

We think it’s worthwhile for smaller, communitybased organizations to look around at like-minded groups, or others competing for the same charitable dollar and see if they can serve their community better through merger or at least a partnership.

Some questions to ask: Is the organization meeting its stated goals? Is the organization having the community impact it desires? Is there overlap or duplication of effort happening with another organization?

Is it a struggle to find members our view to do the volunteer work or to sit on oversight boards? Can admincosts be reduced? Could Merger can istrative fresh ideas surface when two groups work together? help better These are just a few of the quesorganizations tions that can provide healthy introspection.

Think about it. If an organization finds there are certain challenges that are increasingly difficult to overcome, why wouldn’t they explore different ways of approaching those challenges by reaching out to other organizations and considering ways they can join forces?

It doesn’t have to be an outright merger. An informal partnership can go a long way toward helping both parties out.

For example, perhaps the opportunity exists for the pooling of resources, which can help streamline costs, avoid duplication and ensure the efforts of the volunteer base are deployed as efficiently as possible.

The opportunities that can be created are intriguing: knowledge-sharing, new ideas, an energized volunteer base. All contribute to the combined strength of a collective whole.

The keys to any successful partnership – however formal it may be – are the ability to incorporate the unique needs of the component parts to create a whole that’s better equipped to face the challenges of the day. It’s that standard by which partnerships should be measured. When opportunities exist to better serve a community’s needs, it’s always worth exploring. Organizations that ask themselves those questions will get those opportunities.

When handed lemons, opposition makes lemonade Playing opposition at city council is delicate work.

With no official party system and in its place a coalition of disparate interests in orbit of a – usually – popular mayor, it’s tough to get traction.

Contrarian councillors outside that orbit are left to spend their days scouring agendas, waiting for disincentived senior staff to return calls and emails, and working the press gallery to try and get their ideas in front of the public.

The pitfalls are many.

During the David Miller era, right-of-centre councillors stumbled around for years before forming a coalition called The Responsible Government Group that tried with scant success to critique the mayor’s agenda.

Councillors on the left took a different approach with mayor Rob Ford in 2010, taking the give-himrope-to-hang-himself tack until finally, he did so.

It’s clear neither

david nickle the city approach is going to work with sober, steady old John Tory, who has an ambitious agenda and the resolve to keep potential opposition away from committees that might affect that agenda.

And so it is that on Monday, progressive councillors adopted another strategy: if the mayor gives you lemons, make lemonade.

The lemons Tory gave Gord Perks, Mike Layton, Sarah Doucette, Joe Cressy and Maria Augimeri were seats on the Parks and Environment Committee: a committee historically known for light agendas and little influence.

That will likely not be the case this term.

As of Jan. 12, the committee has a subcommittee: the Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Subcommittee.

“

The subcommittee will begin holding public meetings promptly, to talk about ways in which the city can move into a leadership role in battling climate change, worldwide.

Chairing it will be Perks, who in addition to representing Parkdale-High Park, has had a long career as an environmental advocate.

Also on the committee are Doucette, Layton and Cressy.

The subcommittee will begin holding public meetings promptly, to talk about ways in which the city can move into a leadership role in battling climate change, worldwide.

Following from that, the subcommittee will likely bring recommendations to the Parks and Environment Committee, which, owing to its membership, will

send those recommendations to council.

And from there, into the new mayor’s lap.

It will be awkward: climate change mitigation can be expensive, and politically challenging, as it enters into areas where Torontonians are divided: everything from green energy programs to anti-car initiatives and the dreaded “bag tax” from the Miller era.

One courting the redmeat conservative support from Ford Nation will have a hard time backing much of that agenda.

But failing to back some of that agenda will play just as badly with the centreleft and pure centre voters, for a mayor hoping to maintain a broad base of support.

It will be interesting to see how this uniquely passive act of aggression plays out.

‘Warmth’ theme of international design competition >>>from page 1 between the Leuty Lifeguard Station and the Balmy Beach Club.

The installations will be unveiled to the public on Family Day, Monday, Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. during the Winter Stations Grand Opening festival and will remain open until Friday, March 20.

Ward 32 Councillor Mar yMargaret McMahon is working with local groups such as Friends of Beach Parks and East End Arts as well as the Design Exchange and the Beach Village Business Improvement Area to organize a number of “celebrity” walks during Winter Stations.

Organizers approached the Beaches-East York representative this summer about the public art competition and month-long display, which she called “fantastic wild art”.

A strong supporter of community animation, McMahon was on board from the start.

“I’m excited to help with this project,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of fun already and we’re hoping this will be an annual event.”

McMahon also served as one of the competition’s jurors alongside

“I was so impressed with the creativity and hard work demonstrated by all 196 entries. This project has the potential to transform the Beach during the winter and I am thrilled to be a part of it,” McMahon said in a release.

vasses that evoke a sense of summer beach nostalgia, aims to huddle beach-goers together in pockets of warmth.

‘Driftwood Throne’, which features reused timber, aims to transform the modest lifeguard stand into a strong, faceted sculptural form that provides seating and shelter from the winter wind.

‘Wing Back’, essentially an oversized wingback chair looking structure, aims to gather people together while providing shelter from the wind. This installation will also include a central fire ring.

‘HotBox’ mimics the form of an ice house traditionally used in northern climates and allows visitors to experience warmth through visual, auditory, tactile and associative means.

‘Snowcone’ is inspired by the protective organic form of the pinecone with the simple and effective technology of the native igloo. Snowcone was the winning project of a design charrette held within Ryerson’s Department of Architectural Science.

The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon has received the coveted “Gold Label” status from the governing international body.

The designation, announced Jan. 8 by the

International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), puts it in heady territory, as one of only four marathons to receive that top honour in North America along with Boston, Chicago and New

York.

This year’s event, which also traditionally includes 5K and half-marathon races, is slated for Oct. 18.

New officers want to help community >>>from page 1 Several of the new constables have worked in law enforcement or related fields, while others have no notable background in the field aside from a concerted desire to serve the community.

Supt. Peter Yuen, who in 2015 vowed to work on making 55 Division more representative of the community and city it serves, was happy to welcome the new staff members to 55 Division.

The eight new constables round out his team of officers to 244.

“I’m extremely thrilled. This is one of the largest injections of new officers at 55 Division and it’s much needed,” said Yuen, the TPS’s first superintendent of Chinese heritage, Tuesday.

“Obviously, they reflect the community we serve and have excellent backgrounds and experiences.”

Depending on the budget, the police usually does four intakes per

year of new recruits. All recruits must undergo a comprehensive, six-stage screening process before being accepted into police college, which they must also successfully complete. The four-month program takes place both in Toronto and in Aylmer, Ontario.

The new recruits at 55 Division are Martina Kovacevic, Charles Colaco, Jennifer Valino, Rahim Peerwani, Stella Shum, Calvin Au, Damian Creighton and Matt McCarroll.

Inaugural underpass mural festival part of StreetARToronto 2015 HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com StreetARToronto (StART) has big plans for its summer 2015 programming, and it includes a mural festival, a promotional partnership with Google and increasing public art in 18 of its priority wards.

The announcement took place at the Drake Hotel, 1150 Queen St. W., Monday at an information and networking event, with about 50 Toronto-based artists and property owners in attendance.

Kristina Hausmanis, project manager for StART, a program born out of the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services Division and an integral part of the city’s graffiti management program, broke the news to the crowd.

The identified 18 priority neighbourhoods are areas where StART is trying to increase the number of public art projects. The areas range from Etobicoke North, to Don Valley East to Scarborough East.

“We want to make sure our grants are distributed equally throughout the wards,” Hausmanis said.

“Recognizing that street art can be so much more than a response to vandalism, it’s a way to connect

communities, a way for groups to take ownership of a space. We’re looking to push that positivity we’ve experienced in the downtown core across the whole city.”

To date, StArt has about six different public art programs from Outside the Box, to mural programs,

to the underpass program and to its recent collaborations with Metrolinx and Toronto Police Services, all to encourage the appreciation and development of public art.

Also slated for 2015, is an inaugural annual three-day Underpass Mural Festival that would take place

at Underpass Park, near Lower River Street sometime in late June.

“It’s just something that’s been identified by the community,” Hausmanis said.

“Like, why doesn’t Toronto have a street art festival? We’re trying to make it happen.”

According to Hausmanis, there are about 40 pillars in total in the park and StART will be undertaking 19 as part of the festival. The overall budget for the festival is roughly $100,000, which will cover the cost of legacy pillars on Lower River Street, a community art festival with family oriented arts programming as well as a musical element throughout the festival’s duration.

Partnering with StArt for the festival is Mural Routes, a not-for-profit organization, based in Scarborough, committed to the creation, development and promotion of public wall art since 1994.

“What we’ll be looking for is artists that will be competitive with each other in an entertaining way,” said Karin Eaton, the executive director of Mural Routes.

“We’re looking for the top artists in the city, top graffiti artists who can complete something in three days.”

“We’ve been building this idea (of a mural festival) with graffiti artists and artists in Toronto for the past few months. We’ve talked to them about it and they’ve helped shape it a little,” explained Eaton.

“There are many great artists and the generosity of street artists in this city is just amazing in terms of input and support.”

StART is also planning on working with Google to create a Google Street Art Project to raise awareness of artists on a local an international scale. Interested parties will be able to search street art in different cities that have signed up and participate in driving or walking tours curated

by Google. It has already been piloted in New York City; however, the project still needs approval from the city.

“The (StART) program is very much still growing and we’re open to suggestions and feedback because it’s the only way we’ve managed to do all this work,” Hausmanis said.

“We are really flexible about fine tuning the programs, it’s very important for us to make all our programs work.”

Toronto, York Region United Way merge CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The newly announced merger between the Toronto and York Region United Way organizations will translate into a greater potential for impact, according to United Way Toronto’s president and CEO. In an inter view with Metroland Media Toronto last Friday, Susan McIsaac said the decision to join forces with United Way York Region came only after widespread public consultation.

“We probably engaged over 2,000 people in asking key questions around the priority of the city and what really mattered, etc,” she said. “And much of that consultation actually informed the decision that we took to pursue this conversation with York Region. That, for us, was really an important and an informative process.”

As talks began with York Region last fall, McIsaac said she quietly reached out to “key partners, community leaders, agency leaders and

key stakeholders” to seek their feedback.

“We heard very positive feedback, because, I think, there’s a notion that there’s unbelievable alignment between our organizations: alignment on mission and alignment on priorities,” she said.

The final decision to merge the two United Ways was announced Jan. 9, following a special meeting late Wednesday evening in which the boards for each organization voted unanimously in favour of the union.

“Together, we have much greater potential for impact, because there’s such alignment between our two United Ways,” McIsaac said.

As for impacts at the grassroots level in Toronto, McIsaac said while several stakeholders she’s spoken to have cautioned her to ‘remember to think local’, she doesn’t anticipate any negative impacts on Toronto member agencies as a result of the merge. “If you were to ask our agencies what matters about United Way, the first

thing you’d here from most of them is “money, because they like us for our funding. So, the immediate impact on them is that there will be no negative impact,” she said.

“Through the strategic plan, we did a lot of thinking about funding moving forward, and frankly, we continue to have a real commitment to core funding, we have a very strong strategy around keeping the sector whole, we have a strong place-based strategy, and none of that will change.”

In the coming weeks, both United Ways will reach out to stakeholders, engage community agencies and consult other partners. Members of United Way York Region will vote on the recommendation March 4. United Way Toronto, will vote on new bylaws this summer, with a view to formalizing the partnership by July.

crime stoppers

Crime Stoppers posts Cooking with Molly video on YouTube in response to rave deaths Toronto Crime Stoppers has jumped on the cooking show bandwagon.

They released a video called Cooking with Molly, and while it may have humourous overtones, the message is very serious.

Det. Chris Scherk, Toronto Crime Stoppers co-ordinator, said Cooking with Molly was made in response to last summer’s “rave tragedy” in which two young adults died after consuming a pill they likely believed was ecstasy, which goes by the street name Molly.

“Molly isn’t made in a pharmaceutical company. It’s made in basements, garages and on the streets,” Scherk said. “We’re hoping that this is a video that will resonate with youth and young adults.

Truly, you don’t always know

that what you’re told is what you’re given.”

Toronto Crime Stoppers is also working on a youth engagement campaign that will run in schools this spring.

“The campaign will feature encouraging social responsibility at the high school level and encouraging youth to use Crime Stoppers as an alternative to remaining silent,” Scherk said.

Toronto Crime Stoppers fielded 8,740 tips in 2014, resulting in 90 arrests, the laying of 300 charges and the seizure of drugs worth more than $3 million.

Toronto Crime Stoppers began in 1984, and since then the program has received 116,155 tips resulting in 10,725 arrests, 36,416 charges and more than $305 million

of drugs seized.

Crime Stoppers takes tips on crime and turns them over to police anonymously. “We extend informer privilege so that the information provided by our tipsters qualifies for protection afforded by the Supreme Court of Canada under case law,” Scherk said.

“Information that results in an arrest may qualify you for a reward. A process is in place that allows us to provide you that reward (while) never having to provide your name or meet with Crime Stoppers in person.”

Tips can be submitted by phone (416-222-TIPS), online (222tips.com) or by text (text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).
