Upwards of 170 people filled the pews of St. John’s Norway Anglican Church Monday evening to take part in a spirited all-candidates debate for those vying to represent BeachesEast York at Queen’s Park.

The debate welcomed Green Party candidate Debra Scott, Conservative Nicolas Johnson, Liberal Arthur Potts and NDP incumbent Michael Prue.

Journalist Rob Granatstein was the evening’s moderator.

In typical fashion, the event began with each candidate sharing a few words about who they are and their vision for the riding and the province.

A question-and-answer period ensued where candidates were asked to give their views on a range of topics including health care, education, affordable electricity, jobs and taxation.

Community members, who were invited to submit questions for the candidates, were interested in knowing where their future provincial representatives stood on public transit, specifically how their party would pay for it.

Potts said the Liberals would >>>beaches-east york, page 14

City to discuss Red Door Family Shelter Tuesday JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Next week’s city council meeting could make a world of difference to the Red Door Family Shelter.

On Tuesday, Toronto council will consider a motion unanimously passed by the Community Development and Recreation Committee (CDRC) requesting the city commit to supporting the 106bed shelter for homeless families in any way possible.

“June could be a great month.

Everything could fall into place,” said Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher, who presented the motion at the May 22 CDRC meeting.

“We need to get this right.”

For several months now, the building that houses the Red Door Family Shelter, at 875 Queen St. E., has been in receivership.

The property is currently open for bids by condominium developers. There are no provisions in place to ensure the Red Door Family Shelter is maintained within any new development.

Bernnitta Hawkins, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the passing of this motion would be a

City council will discuss the future of the Red Door Shelter at its Tuesday meeting.

“key step forward” for the 32-yearold organization.

“It would be what we really need; to work with all of the key stakeholders to come up with a solution. City council supporting this motion will really plant a solid foundation underneath all of the work we’ve been doing,” she said, adding at this point preliminary discussions are underway with all relevant parties.

Fletcher’s motion included three requests: • that council support the Red Door in its efforts should it seek to establish its new home within any development of the property;

relocate to a new property on Queen Street East; or undertake to establish a title claim to the property; • that the city manager and deputy city managers explore all mechanisms, including financial options, which can be used to maintain the continuity of the services provided by the Red Door Shelter; • that the city assist the Red Door Shelter in finding a temporary location should the redevelopment include the shelter at 875 Queen St. E. She said she hopes Deputy City Manager Brenda Patterson will have a response ready; one that shows the city is prepared to help the Red

Door with loans or other forms of financial assistance it may need to ensure its continuity of services on Queen Street East in Leslieville or at another location.

“I’m hoping to get the all-clear for that,” Fletcher said Tuesday afternoon, adding it only makes sense to support the Red Door, which is home to 10 per cent of Toronto’s family shelter beds.

“The city can’t be disinterested in the fate of the Red Door,” she said, pointing to the “astronomical amount of money” it would take to replace those lost beds should the 106-bed shelter for homeless families be forced to close its doors for good.

“We need to work with them, to partner with them and to keep them on Queen Street.”

Fletcher said she’s been working hard to ensure her motion moves forward before council recesses for five months starting in August.

“I don’t want (the Red Door) to be left in the lurch. I don’t want a crisis.”

Hawkins expressed her gratitude to Fletcher and the community for their support.

“The other key piece is that it’s

clear the residents of Leslieville and Riverdale want us to stay where we are. We’re so grateful to all of our neighbours for their support and encouragement,” she said.

One notable way the community has come forward to show its support for the Red Door Family Shelter is through an online petition, nearly 50,000 people have signed.

“That’s really unheard of,” Fletcher said. “It just sends shivers down my spine to think there are so many people who support the Red Door. It shows our community has a big heart; that Toronto has a big heart.”

For several months now, the ‘Friends of the Red Door’ group has been meeting weekly to come up with ideas to get the word out about the shelter, including a postering campaign.

Many east-end stores and restaurants are displaying signs in their windows. Fletcher also said children are selling handmade bracelets for the cause and area residents are donating the proceeds of their garage sales to the Red Door.

Beach cop rallies community with Prom Project 911 JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Thanks to a new 55 Division initiative, more than 100 teenage girls from the city’s east end won’t have to worry about the cost of purchasing a new prom or graduation dress.

Prom Project 911 came to be just more than a week ago after Const.

Rob McDonald, the local police division’s crime prevention/social media officer, encountered a couple of high school students on Danforth Avenue.

One teen was shopping for her prom dress, while her friend mentioned she might not be able to go to her prom because she didn’t have the money to buy a dress.

“No one should miss out on such a special occasion because they

don’t have enough money,” said McDonald, who was so moved by the exchange that he put out calls on Twitter and facebook for fancy dress donations.

“It started out with a social media idea and (people) really put their effort behind their fingers,” he said.

In less than a week, dozens of people reached out to help, donating in excess of 100 party dresses.

Gary Levy, the co-host of Big Brother Canada, also got word of the effort and volunteered his time to help the young women select their perfect dress.

“I think every girl deserves a wonderful prom and to feel wonderful on their prom night. ... I’m happy to be a part of this; to give my fashion expertise and fabulousness,” said

“I heard about this cause and I really wanted to be involved any way I could.”

On Monday evening, a stream of teenage girls and their moms and friends filtered into the Toronto Beaches Lions Clubhouse at Ashbridges Bay to check out 120 or so party dresses of all styles, colours and sizes. The young women could also pick up a pair of shoes or jewelry to accompany their dress.

Gina Edmonds, of Beauty Supply Outlet, has also donated two free hair appointments for two teens, while Value Village at Danforth and Woodbine avenues loaned 55 Division clothing racks to hang and display the dresses.

We need to commemorate all facets of military service T

his Friday marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when thousands of Canadian soldiers and Allied forces led a successful invasion of France off the beaches of Normandy during the Second World War. It’s an event that’s earned a honourable place in our history books and put us forever in the debt of the brave soldiers who risked their lives for such a critical mission, which would ultimately turn the tide and end the war.

Canada’s role was a major one but it did not go without sacrifice, as Canadians suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including 359 killed.

As we honour and remember those who served – sadly, a our view lifetime ago for most of those soldiers – let’s extend our comLooking after memoration on this special day also consider other impacts of our veterans a to military service.

For instance, take time to think priority of the families who did, and continue to, watch their loved ones head off to war.

At city hall tomorrow, a special event is taking place to mark the anniversary of D-Day and one of the speakers is Joanne O’Halloran, whose father Edward served during the Second World War and was at the Normandy invasion. She’ll be sharing her experience as a soldier’s child. It’s a perspective we don’t hear often, but one that needs to be heard, as well as that of partners, mothers and fathers.

Soldiers and veterans need our support, but their families do, too.

Something else that should be incorporated into the tradition of military commemoration, is increasing support for the mental health needs of soldiers when they return home.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be a relatively new term, but it’s not a new illness and its designation comes too late for generations of soldiers and families who suffered without help.

We have a responsibility to look after the people who fight for us, so let’s support them wholly during Friday’s service and after as well.

Ford’s rehab working wonders for Toronto voters It was not so very long ago that Mayor Rob Ford longed to be anywhere but in the bosom of his constituents – at least when it came to the observation of Canada Day July 1.

In 2011, 2012 and 2013, our mayor would make a bee-line for his family’s cottage rather than wave a flag in Toronto and, coincidentally, march in the Pride Parade.

Not so in 2014.

In an interview from the facility where he is undergoing therapy for alcohol addiction, Ford declared this week he’ll be back in Toronto for July 1.

At that point, he’ll attend Canada Day celebrations and take his re-election campaign out of the holding pattern it’s been in since April 30.

He told The Toronto Sun he’s a changed man, and is ready to make some amends for all the wrong he’s done us.

And of course he wants

david nickle the city to run for another term as mayor of the biggest city in Canada.

When that happens, I suppose we’ll all have to contend with him.

Thinking time In the meantime, Toronto has another month, nearly, to appreciate our own bout of rehab.

Think about it: for just more than a month, we’ve been able to spend most of our time doing what people ought to during an election: considering what sort of city we’d like to be in, and worrying over the management of the one we’ve got.

In the mayoral race, John Tory has finally come forward with his transit plan, and while it’s got its problems, at least it’s not a man screaming “subways”

“

In the meantime, Toronto has another month, nearly, to appreciate our own bout of rehab.

over and over again.

Even when the talk’s gotten rough, it’s been measured and thoughtful and respectful. civilized That’s been the case in matters of governance, too.

Aside from a bad evening when Councillor Doug Ford and a group of his constituents urged a house looking after autistic youth to pack up and leave, talk’s been civil.

We’re having a provincial election without, so far, a single parade led by Rob and Doug Ford.

It is almost peaceful in Toronto.

And it may well stay that

way.

When Ford returns to his titular post as mayor, there will be just two more council meetings before the municipal election campaign starts in earnest.

The serious campaigns, which is to say, the ones that didn’t take a break to dry out in cottage country, will be organized, and funded, and by summer’s end consolidating their presence and support, their platforms mostly unveiled.

The electorate, having been schooled in such for the past few months, will be ready for a serious civic talk.

Which is to say, going into the election, we should be in good shape: rehab, if not for our mayor then at least for our damaged city politick, having worked its wonders.

Aaron Brown heads to NCAA championship East-end Olympic sprinter Aaron Brown has qualified for his final U.S. national collegiate championship by breaking a long-standing Canadian record.

The 22-year-old veteran of the 2012 London Olympics, in his fourth and final year at the University of Southern California, set a new Canadian record of 20.16 seconds in the men’s 200-metres at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Saturday, May 31.

The fifth fastest time recorded in the world at that distance so far this year, it also edged the former Canadian record of 20.17 set by Atlee

Mahorn in 1991.

It also easily qualified him for the 2014 NCAA Track & Field Championships June 11 to 14 in Eugene, Oregon.

The previous day, he qualified in the 100-metre event with a season-best time of 10.12, which was second-best overall and the top wind-legal time.

Soon after, the senior college student tweeted: “Appreciate all the love! Came out healthy and it’s all coming together at the right time.

On to Eugene (for) my final collegiate meet.”

He finished fifth in both events last year.

Brown grew up in the area of Coxwell Avenue and Gerrard Street, attending Bowmore Public School and later Birchmount Park Collegiate where he attended the gifted-athlete program.

He’s n o t t h e o n l y f o r m e r Birchmount Park Collegiate student currently making waves in Southern California. Fellow alumnae Tyler Toffoli, a 22-year-old Scarborough resident, has been a contributor in the post-season for the Los Angeles Kings, who open their Stanley Cup final series Wednesday.

The Mirror questions candidates in BEACHES-EAST YORK

Visit us on the web for more byelection coverage, including the June 12 results. Go to www. insidetoronto.com

BEACHES-EAST YORK IS a dynamic downtown east riding bounded by Sunrise Avenue and the Don River to the north, Victoria Park Avenue to the east, Coxwell Avenue to the west and Lake Ontario to the south. Beaches-East York is home to the Beach, Upper Beach, Beach Triangle, East Danforth, Crescent Town, Woodbine Heights, Main Square, Topham Park and Parkview Hills. The provincial electoral district encompasses municipal wards 32 and 31 (Beaches-East York).

NDP MPP Michael Prue, who is seeking re-election for a fifth term, has represented the riding at Queen’s Park since 2001. The Liberal Party candidate is Arthur Potts, Nicolas Johnson is the Conservative challenger, while Debra Scott is running for the Greens.

Tell us about one local issue that you plan to champion as MPP

2

What will you do to improve transit for your constituents?

■ The high cost of housing is squeezing budgets – especially for single parents and seniors. One of the biggest costs related to housing is soaring electricity rates, and making prices more affordable is near the top of our list.

This all connects back to our biggest priority: increasing jobs and lowering the cost of living.

Housing – and everything else – becomes a lot more affordable when you have a good, steady, rewarding job.

■ I spent most of my career in Paris and Tokyo as a financial journalist with Bloomberg News, and in Toronto with The Globe and Mail.

People trust me to stand up and ask the tough questions, to listen and to represent the facts with fairness and balance. My first job out of university was with a non-profit environmental organization, and that showed me the importance of cooperation between government, business and local community groups.

■ There is so much to do in Beaches-East York that narrowing the list to one project is impossible. I will access the Liberal budget’s $130 billion infrastructure fund to ensure BeachesEast York receives it’s fair share to re-develop the Kingston Road YMCA. I’ll also commit to ensure the funds flow quickly for the Toronto East General Hospital’s much-needed addition.

■ An immediate priority I will work to champion is to streamline connectivity of TTC, GO and VIA Rail at Main and Danforth by integrating fares, building a tunnel between the stations, bringing surface bus routes into the GO station and doubling GO service to the downtown and back. This will relieve congestion on the Danforth and Yonge lines, and kick-start the reredevelopment of the area as a significant transportation hub for Toronto.

■ I will work to ensure that area gets its share of funding for upgrades and refurbishments where needed most. The Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) program will see Ontario commit $80.1 million annually over the next five years.

The IAH program enhances access and affordable rental housing, assistance for down payments and help to improve infrastructure. We’ve also committed $42 million of annual funding for a total $294 million to the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative.

■ I have a BA in political science, a masters in industrial relations and have worked at Toronto City Hall. I co-founded a waste wood recovery business that continues to employ more than 30 employees, and have spent the past 25 years as a self-employed consultant solving problems for individuals, small businesses and corporations.

My work has kept me involved with Queen’s Park where I helped bring in the Deposit/Return system for LCBO.

■ The removal of Toronto from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) is an important issue in this community. The character of neighbourhoods in the Glen Davis Ravine area and on Queen Street has been threatened. I believe it’s time municipalities made their own decisions as they do in every other province in Canada. It was a shame Liberals and Conservatives recently blocked the passage of Bill 20, a Bill that would have exempted Toronto from the OMB.

■ We are focused on prioritizing the Downtown Relief Line, improving Scarborough transit and adding clean trains to travel from Union Station to Pearson airport. To do this, we will create a dedicated fund of $29 billion over 10 years for transit and transportation projects across the province, and begin flowing funds immediately. We will boost transit investment by $250 million annually to kick-start priority transit projects.

■ I grew up in Regent Park so I have a clear understanding of the importance of affordable housing. Rent-geared-to-income meant that my parents could give their kids an opportunity to pursue higher education. Recent development in Regent Park is a template for what we need to continue throughout our city. Inclusionary zoning and low-interest loans for housing cooperatives will provide affordable and market value housing in our neighbourhoods.

■ I was elected as East York councillor in 1988. I was East York’s mayor from 1993 to 1997 until amalgamation. I was councillor for the new City of Toronto until my election as MPP in 2001. Before public service, I was counsel to the Minister of Immigration. I am proud of my constituency work and am a hands-on MPP for our community. My wife Shirley and I have lived in Beaches-East York for 31 years.

■ One issue that I’m very passionate about is getting an environmental assessment of Enbridge’s Line 9. Although the pipeline does not directly cross through the Beaches-East York, it does intersect 36 tributaries in the Lake Ontario watershed. A rupture anywhere along these tributaries could affect the quality of drinking water and the beach for millions. If elected as MPP, I would work to make sure this issue is made a priority at Queen’s Park.

■ There is no doubt that Toronto’s transit system is in need of serious improvements. The Green Party of Ontario would tackle gridlock within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area using dedicated revenue tools aimed at creating a system to move the most people at the least cost. This system would include a Downtown Relief Line, Transit City LRT lines and expanded GO service.

■ To make housing more affordable in Beaches-East York and across Ontario, I would support the introduction of minimum standard zoning legislation that, over a multi-year period, would allow a percentage of new housing units produced by private development firms to be devoted to affordable, inclusive housing.

■ I come from a teaching background and have been active in environmental issues that range from working on making sustainable family choices easier, to petitioning to ban BPA to encouraging families with the “just get outside” movement. Running for the Green Party is the next step to safeguard my children’s future and to protect Ontario’s local economies and natural resources so all Ontarians can have the secure, sustainable future we are all entitled to.

Tell us about your background and qualifications.

■ Our chronic transit and transportation problems are hurting our economy, our environment and our quality of life. Fixing that is one of our top priorities. The part that most concerns us here in Beaches-East York is building an east-west subway south of Bloor-Danforth as soon as we have the funds. We are the only ones who have committed to expanding subways without raising taxes.

What will you do to make housing more affordable in Beaches-East York and across Ontario?

■ As I listen to what people tell me, we want a government we can trust, we want better transit, schools, health care, but the big issue that comes up is jobs and the cost of living.

We all know people who are struggling to get a job and struggling to pay the bills, especially hydro bills. I’m proud that my party is the only team with a plan to fix that.

Kenya’s Top Safari Spots Maasai Mara National Reserve

Amboseli National Park

The birthplace of the quintessential safari experience, the Mara is famous for its population of big cats and the great wildebeest migration that takes place between July and October.

Amboseli National Park is the best place to catch a glimpse of free-ranging elephants and offers tantalizing views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Be sure to spend some time trekking up Observation Hill, whose peak gives up an incredible overall panoramic view of the park.

Lake Nakuru National Park Nestled into the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru National Park is a bird lover’s mecca where flocks of blushing pink flamingoes are the resident celebrities, and the park also serves as one of the first national rhinoceros sanctuaries.

Beaches-East York candidates debate local issues >>>from page 1 repurpose portions of the HST and gas tax.

“The area around Main and Danforth is a great place to get started with the rapid transit line,” he said, adding selling off assets such as shares of General Motors to pay for capital expenditures is an option.

Johnson spoke about uploading GO Transit and the management of major highways to a provincial body, which he called “a real integrated network”.

Johnson said public transit can be improved without raising taxes, adding it doesn’t make

sense to rack up even more debt to build new projects.

Scott said her party is in favour of the paid expansion of public transit through “thoughtful congestion charges, gas taxes and road tolls”, while Prue said it’s not a good idea to just shift money from one place to another to fund public transit. He also said selling off public assets is not the right approach.

“Raising corporate taxes is the first solution. We need to make sure corporations are paying because they’re the ultimate beneficiaries,” Prue said.

Voters also wanted to know each candidate’s take on privatizing the TTC as well as publicprivate partnerships.

Johnson said the Conservatives believe in the highest level of service, regardless of the provider, while Prue spoke out against privatization pointing to Ornge air ambulance, the $1.1 billion cancellation of two gasfired power plants and eHealth Ontario.

Potts said this is one rare instance he agrees with Prue. “(The TTC) needs to stay in

public hands,” he said, adding in some cases public-private partnerships can be successful like at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare.

Child care was another topic discussed at the debate.

Prue said he’ll always support safe child care and said every child deserves regulated child care. He said he’d like to see an affordable child-care system in place.

The father of two adult daughters, Potts said the Liberals has a safe child-care bill in the works, which died when the budget died and the election was called. He said he’d work to resurrect that bill. Johnson was quick to ask

how regulated daycares would be paid for and said his party is the only one with the answer to that question, while Scott said her party is all for child-care regulations.

Another issue raised that directly impacts the riding is development pressure and the role of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

“If there’s ever a board that shouldn’t be there this is the one,” Prue said, adding while some Ontario communities could benefit from the agency others, like Toronto, have no use for it and can handle planning issues on their own.

Scott, who said she feels the OMB should be dissolved, said developers with deep pockets shouldn’t have the right to make decisions about the future of communities. She went on to say that many voters she’s spoken with in Beaches-East York are actually pro-development but that constant variances are not wanted.

Johnson asked those in attendance if the OMB is the real issue or if it’s an overall planning process problem. “Are we putting blame in the right place or is it a red herring?”

Potts, who on a number of occasions throughout the debate spoke about his ownership of a Yorkville bar, said development is one of the most contentious issues in the riding and throughout Toronto. He said he feels it’s important the city’s planning department be given more time to consider development applications instead of just waiting for time to run out so they can head to the OMB.
