robbie burns celebration: Norm White performs the address to the haggis during the Robbie Burns Dinner held Saturday at Fallingbrook Presbyterian Church.

A lack of natural surveillance, poor sight lines, not enough lighting, and an increase in illegal activities happening at the nearby Maple Leaf Forever Park were just a few of the concerns residents raised during a recent community safety walk near Queen and Leslie streets. Spearheaded by the Brick Court residents group, the hour-and-a-half-long walkabout was organized by neighbours in response to news that the Salvation Army is proposing to open an 80-bed shelter for homeless men at 29 Leslie St., which is just south of Queen. Taking part were about 20 >>>residents, page 9

at Leslie Street. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. This time around, comedians Darren Frost, Laurie Elliott, and Simon Rakoff will headliners with special guests Phil Luzi, Dean Young, and Brian Coughlin.

Founded and hosted by Dave Martin of CBC’s The Debaters, the event ended with the closure of The Dominion in 2014. In the fall, Leslieville entrepreneur and certified dog trainer Katie Reid approached Martin about bring-

ing back the event, which raises funds for charities. Proceeds from the Jan. 31 show will go to a group of Leslieville residents that has committed to sponsoring a Syrian family and supporting

them financially and otherwise for their first year in Canada. Tickets are $15 in advance at www.ticketscene.ca or $20 at the door. The Revue takes place on the last Sunday of every month.

Councillors outline conditions for proposed Leslieville men’s shelter jOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com What will it take for Leslieville to accept a men’s shelter? That’s the question two east-end councillors are asking their constituents to consider in light of the growing controversy surrounding the Salvation Army’s plan to open an 80-bed facility for homeless men in their neighbourhood. In a Jan. 20, letter to Councillor James Pasternak, chair of the Community Development and Recreation C o m m i t t e e , Wa r d 3 2 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon reiterated her commitment to “making this shelter a success for our community.” “I heard from residents that they want lighting improvements, more community participation and improvements to the local park,” she wrote in an accompanying Facebook post. “These conditions are based on what I heard from our community; let us know what you think.” McMahon’s letter )posted on her website http://councillormcmahon.com/news-feed) outlines five key recommendations for the approval of the Salvation Army’s New Hope

Shelter at 29 Leslie St. For starters, she wants lighting in the streets and parks immediately surrounding 29 Leslie St. to be assessed and recommendations made to improve it, and for city council to direct city staff to collaborate with 55 Division police to conduct a community safety audit and make recommendations based on its findings. McMahon is also calling for council to direct the general manager of Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to include the following conditions on the operating agreement with the service provider: w an independent community liaison retained to communicate with residents and organize a liaison committee w a contact number for the shelter distributed to residents within 200 metres prior to opening w entrances/exists on Leslie Street w a 24-hour hotline number posted on the exterior of the building w mental health, public health and housing supports regularly offered In h e r f o u r t h p o i n t , McMahon wants the establishment of a community

liaison committee to meet following city council approval of the facility. Lastly, McMahon is calling for council to direct the general manager of parks to assess Maple Leaf Forever Park and make recommendations that include the resources needed to revitalize it. In an email sent Jan. 20, Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher – who represents those living on the west side of Leslie, south of Queen – provided a list of conditions that she divided into three categories: gold standard in design and operations; positive, pro-active community relations; and good services for clients. “Residents in the east end are passionate supporters of affordable housing and access to safe shelter,” Fletcher noted, pointing to the Jan. 19 approval of a permanent home for the Red Door Shelter on Queen Street East in Leslieville at Toronto and East York Community Council. “As the elected representative, I have a commitment to you as my residents to do my best to ensure that your concerns are heard and that any shelter in our community operates to a gold standard,” Fletcher wrote.

A handshake from 64 years ago is how Alex Versluis, vice-president of property management for the YMCA of Greater Toronto, described the unveiling of a circa 1952 time capsule discovered during the recent demolition of the former East City Y. The capsule, which contained a copy of the Toronto Daily Star newspaper from Sept. 27, 1952, a silver dollar, a small pocket Bible, and a program from the ceremony of the laying of the centre’s cornerstone, was cracked open Tuesday morning. Demolition crews discovered the oxidized copper box in late December while removing the cornerstone of the former YMCA at 907 Kingston Rd., just west of Victoria Park Avenue. The original cornerstone is set to be preserved and worked into the new stateof-the-art Toronto Kingston Road YMCA at the same location as a way to honour the Y’s 100-plus-year history in the community. Versluis said the YMCA of Greater Toronto decided to hold off on opening the time capsule, which was located in a slot in the bottom of the cornerstone, because it wanted to involve the community in the process. There was actually no record that it existed, noted Virginia Dimoglou, general manager of the future Toronto Kingston Road YMCA, which is replacing the former East City Y. “We knew there was a cornerstone and we hoped there was a time capsule, but we weren’t certain,” she said. “We’re really excited that we were able to find this historical artifact. It was a surprise to us all what was inside.” Dimoglou said the time capsule is representative of

the YMCA’s long connection to the community. “We’re hoping to carry on that legacy for a long time,” she added. Ian Fleming, who recently retired from his position as the organization’s archivist, was also on hand for the unveiling. “It’s just exciting to go back in time and see what people

from back then decided to put in (the capsule). It reflects the time,” he said, adding for the YMCA the most important item in the capsule is the old program from the ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone. The concert band from Malvern Collegiate performed at that special event on Saturday, Sept. 27, 1952.

Improved crisis training needed for Toronto police

Proudly serving the communities of The Beach • East End-Danforth Greenwood-Coxwell South Riverdale Woodbine Corridor Beach Hill

omething needs to change. In the last four years, four people in mental distress have been shot and killed by Toronto police officers. All four shootings happened within minutes of the initial contact with police. In none of these deaths was a mental health crisis worker on scene. On Monday, Const. James Forcillo was convicted of attempted murder in the shooting death of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim. Yatim was behaving erratically on a streetcar July 27, 2013, brandishing a knife. But it seems clear from a YouTube video that members of the public were not in harm’s way and neither were Toronto police officers in imminent danger. Yet, police took a confrontational approach. our view A situation like Yatim’s required calm behaviour and Better training verbal de-escalation. Yatim a gentle approach can’t happen required to encourage him to drop his weapon and walk off that streetfast enough car alive. He did not need to have a gun pointed at him while being yelled at to drop the knife. But what ultimately cost Yatim his life was less about Forcillo’s approach than the fact that no officer on the scene knew how to handle the situation differently. That’s a major failure of our police’s training when it comes to dealing with people in mental distress. Mayor John Tory said something needs to change when it comes to that training, and we agree. Just hours after the verdict, Tory said: “We must learn and make sure that Sammy Yatim’s death, a dark moment for our city, results in real change.” As a member of the Toronto Police Services Board, Tory will be able to demand better police training, and ensure it happens. Police Chief Mark Saunders said his officers’ oneday training in crisis management is adequate and stressed Yatim’s death was an isolated incident. We feel one day is not adequate training for officers. A coroner’s jury looking into the police shootings of Michael Eligon, 29, Reyal Jardine-Douglas, 25, and Sylvia Klibingaitis, 52 – all shot after approaching police with knives or scissors and all considered mentally ill – released its findings in February 2014 and called for better and longer training for police in dealing with such situations. Here we are almost two years later waiting for training to get better. It can’t happen fast enough.

Funding key to fixing public housing portfolio It’s hard to be hopeful in the best of circumstances, and when you look at the state of public housing in Toronto, it can be difficult not to despair. On Tuesday, Mayor John Tory and Senator Art Eggleton did their best to put a hopeful face on the prospects for Toronto’s public housing portfolio, as managed by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. The occasion was the release of the final report from the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing. The task force was one of the first things Tory kicked off after his election in 2014. Headed by Eggleton and made up of blue-chip executives and community leaders, the task force has been doing yeoman’s work trying to find a way out of the housing weeds. Task force members, to their credit, did what they could. Last year, they found a way to permit the corporation to renegotiate some of its mortgages to

david nickle the city find more operating dollars. They identified problems with services to tenants on matters such as repairs and safety, and offered up some solutions. And finally, at the end of their tenure, they’ve recommended a bicameral structure intended to divide up the management of existing buildings and the construction of new ones between two new non-profit companies, at a somewhat greater arms-length from city council than the current Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) as it’s currently constituted. Essentially, that plan would put Toronto’s public housing stock into a co-op model. As Tory noted at the news conference, there are 240 co-op-run housing corporations in Toronto, and little is heard of them, presumably because they’re

well run. Going co-op would let the corporation play with its mortgages more aggressively, borrowing against assets to cover the cost of maintenance and also expand the housing stock. And that would allow the corporation to create more mixed-income communities, where more units are rented out at market rates. Without doubt, this all is a step forward. But again, it’s hard to be too hopeful that implementation of the recommendations will be a success, when TCHC is so woefully underfunded. Eggleton made this point right off the top. The giant portfolio of public housing is crumbling, and the repair backlog totals $2.6 billion. Soon, many of the units will be uninhabitable. The TCHC is also operating under a growing operating deficit that could become as high as $200 million in a decade. The federal government has given good indica-

tion there might be some money from Ottawa going to housing renewal and construction. The provincial government, according to Tory, is in a trickier situation and is unlikely to be able to provide much funding in the foreseeable future. In that scenario, what is foreseeable is something a little more sinister: an arms-length, non-profit company determining that the best way to deal with its unbalanceable books is not to take out mortgages, but to begin to sell. Ultimately, Eggleton was right to frame the problem as he did. There are changes that can make Toronto’s public housing portfolio more manageable and the lives of tenants better. But the first of those changes must involve funding. Anything else is just shuffling deck chairs.

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT AND INVITATION TO PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES Class Environmental Assessment Leaside to Main Infrastructure Refurbishment Project Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment to refurbish existing transmission infrastructure in the eastern part of downtown Toronto. This work is critical to ensure an adequate and reliable supply of electricity to the area, and to minimize the risk for future power interruptions. Hydro One has identified two sections of underground 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission cable which are nearing their end-of-life and require replacement. These sections of underground cable, shown on the attached map, are located between:

Project Approval Requirements This project is subject to the provincial Environmental Assessment Act and is being planned in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities (Class EA). Subject to the outcome of the Class EA, construction could begin by the end of 2016. The Class EA process provides opportunities for public and stakeholder consultation, and your feedback is very important to us. Members of the public, businesses, stakeholder groups, First Nations and Métis communities, government agencies and other interested parties are encouraged to participate in this process. We invite you to attend one of our upcoming Public Information Centres. At the Public Information Centres, Hydro One will provide more information about the project, discuss an alternative route for replacing the cable section between Leaside TS and Todmorden JCT, present environmental considerations and explain the approvals process. We encourage you to drop into one of the sessions to provide your input and discuss any issues or concerns.

Residents point out safety concerns >>>from page 1 neighbours, three police constables from 55 Division’s community response unit, a representative from the Salvation Army, independent facilitator Joy Connelly, and Beaches-East York Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon along with two of her staff members. “Our first concern is just the lighting in general on the street. And there’s no natural surveillance,” said Annette Parent, who has lived in one of the townhouses south of Queen and east of Leslie since the development was built 18 years ago. Another long-time resident, who asked to not give her name, said she’s concerned about people who need to walk down the secluded laneways to reach their home when it gets dark outside, especially her 13-year-old son.

“Nobody knows where we are because we’re blocked by the homes,” she said. This point led to a brief discussion about where the men who use the shelter should smoke. Some suggested a rooftop patio could be the answer but even then the proximity to nearby homes was a concern. Moving eastward along the laneway, residents pointed out a number of doorways and dark spaces as well as access points to Queen where people could hide or urinate or even evade police. An easy fix would be to put up a gate or a door as well as proper lighting, said Const. Jon Morrice, 55 Division’s crime prevention officer. Several neighbours shared their concerns about Maple Leaf Forever Park, a small green space located south of Queen between Leslie and

Laing streets. McMahon suggested residents form a park stewardship group and access city funds to improve the park. “I’m happy to co-ordinate afterwards a Friends of Maple Leaf Park. It’s a great opportunity to do some improvements to the park,” she said. Others said the proximity to the nearby Beer Store as well as the Loblaws, which now sells beer, is worrisome. The tour included a stop at a few lots south of Maple Leaf Forever Park, which tend to be dumping spots for junk or places where people loiter during the summer months.

A number of neighbours on the walkabout planned to speak about the proposed shelter at yesterday’s meeting of the Community Development and Recreation Committee. Our City Hall reporter David Nickle was there. Visit www.insidetoronto. com to read his report.
