The Gardener’s Cottage in Kew Gardens Park has received a reprieve from Toronto Fire Services, allowing public events to be held there until the end of the year.

The local landmark was shuttered late last year as the circa 1902, heritage-designated building failed to comply with the Ontario Fire Code, which requires all buildings that hold public assemblies have two exits on each floor.

The two-storey building, also known as Kew Williams House, does not have two exits on the top level and renovations required to bring the Queen Anne Revival-style building up to code are estimated to be upwards of $180,000.

Further, the City of Toronto is also aiming to make all of its public buildings wheelchair-accessible by 2025. The two-storey Gardener’s Cottage also lacks an accessible main floor washroom.

Beaches-East York Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon recently penned a letter and met with staff from the City’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department to come up with a plan that would allow for the temporary re-opening of the Gardener’s Cottage for events. >>>BUILDING’S, page 18

The iconic “Maple Leaf Forever” tree, felled by a windstorm in July, will continue to live on after a sapling from the famous silver maple was recently planted at Todmorden Mills Heritage Site.

“Planting a sapling today at Todmorden Mills combines the symbolism of the tree and this site into a new and living example of Toronto’s history that can be appreciated by current and future visitors,” said Toronto-Danforth Councillor Mary Fragedakis in a release.

The Saturday event included the distribution of pieces from the tree to designers who will create several large-scale works of art to be displayed in museums and historical societies across the country.

Colin , one of the newest members of the band Blue Rodeo, was presented with one of the pieces, which he’ll use to create a guitar that will be played by the band’s members and other Toronto-based musicians.

Some of the salvaged wood from the tree will be used to craft a new lectern for the Toronto City Hall council chamber in time for the first meeting of the new council in December.

WoodGreen seeks volunteers for its popular Meals on Wheels program JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com WoodGreen ( WG) Community Services has put out an urgent call for volunteers to help deliver meals to residents through its Meals on Wheels program.

The program, established in 1967, serves upwards of 55,000 meals to more than 600 clients in an area bounded by the Don River to the west, Victoria Park Avenue to the east, Lake Ontario to the south and just north of Danforth Avenue.

Because of the tough winter, WoodGreen has seen an influx of new client referrals and as a result is in desperate need of at least 10 more people to join its team of 65 volunteer drivers and food runners.

“Our typical route is 12 to 14 stops but recently because of the volume of clients, our volunteers have been taking on up to 18 stops,” said Colleen Peacock, WG’s manager of food and security check programs.

It’s imperative the organization

increase its volunteer roster as drivers/runners only have a two-hour window to deliver meals to clients due to Toronto Public Health regulations, she said.

Twelve-year volunteer Ross Wight

said it’s a great cause.

“You’re giving back to the community you’ve lived and worked in all your life.”

WG recently invited the Beach Mirror to take part in a ride-along

beginning at its office at 815 Danforth Ave. Energetic volunteers began to gather shortly before 11 a.m.

Coolers filled with hot meals, prepared at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare hospital, arrived a short time later and the two-member volunteer teams were on their way.

Peacock, who has been delivering meals herself when there aren’t enough volunteers, said the program allows residents such as Phyllis Cleghorn, 87, to live independently.

Cleghorn started making use of the meal delivery program when she had surgery and wasn’t able to prepare food for herself.

Aside from a meal, Cleghorn said she also enjoys her daily visit from the Meals on Wheels volunteers.

“I would miss them. It’s somebody to check in on you,” said Cleghorn.

Meals cost $5.75, and subsidies are available.

i

Call Joanne Fong at 416-645-6000, ext. 1109 to volunteer. People need to be able to help at least once a week.

WoodGreen president Brian Smith retiring After 36 years, Brian Smith, WoodGreen Community Services’ longtime president and CEO, is retiring.

Smith said like all things in life, everything must eventually come to an end. “I’ve really enjoyed what I do at WoodGreen,” he said late Tuesday afternoon. “It’s a passion for me to work in the community.”

He will be wrapping up his duties at the east end social service agency on Dec. 31. The news was officially announced June 10.

The note highlighted Smith’s many contributions to WoodGreen as well as those who have benefitted from his commitment.

“Brian has been active in creating a better Toronto through his work at the helm of WoodGreen over the past 36 years,” said Jasmine Tehara, chair of WoodGreen Community Services, in a release.

Leslieville resident’s Civic Light-Opera Company celebrates 35 years LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Artistic director Joe Cascone can hardly believe the theatre company he launched as a 14-year-old is celebrating three milestones more than 30 years later.

The Civic Light-Opera Co. is marking its 35th anniversary, its 100th production and its 1,000th performance.

“It’s a little overwhelming. It’s entirely exciting to see we’ve come this far,” said the Leslieville resident.

“The first year, we wondered if we would be around for five years.”

Past and present members will recognize the company’s achievements the night of June 13 at North York’s Zion Cultural Centre following the performance of The Glorious Ones, which runs until June 15.

The Glorious Ones is the 100th show the company has staged and June 13 marks the group’s 1,000th performance.

A musical romp that follows the start of a theatre troupe as well as the behind-the-scenes lives of its members, The Glorious Ones seems the perfect show to be staging as Civic Light-Opera celebrates its milestones, said Cascone, noting

his surprised parents only found out when they returned from vacation.

“Surprised is a good word for it.

I don’t know that they actually got it,” he laughed.

“I think there were times they hoped I would grow out of it. It really did consume me for all those years.”

PASSION FOR THEATRE

Leslieville resident Joe Cascone started the Civic Light-Opera Co. when he was 14. It’s celebrating its 35th anniversary June 13.

the play’s modern tone and style despite being set in 16th century Italy.

“It’s fun and funny and touching as well,” he said, as he reflected on the history of the company and the state of the theatre world in general.

As daunting as it may seem, Cascone started the company at the age of 14 in 1979, something

His parents not only came to accept their son’s passion for the theatre, they attend shows and have even performed in a couple of productions.

It was likely the only possible reaction for parents of a child bitten hard by the theatre bug.

“I had always been passionate about performing, even before I was exposed to it,” Cascone said.

“I got into a couple of different children’s theatre companies and I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life. In my teens, it was at the expense of every other thing, like academics and part-time jobs.”

The native of Scarborough initially named the company Agincourt Music Theatre, a name that survived the troupe’s first decade until 1989.

Cascone is quick to credit the success of the company to actors, members of the backstage crew and administrative staff, many of whom have been with the company for 20 years or more.

Over the years, Civic Light-Opera has staged a wide variety of productions, including favourites such as My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Oliver!

The company also took on more obscure shows like Allegro, The Rink and Silk Stockings.

It was the first Canadian company to present Annie, La Cage Aux Folles and Titanic and staged the worldpremiere original adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Cascone counts Titanic and As Thousands Cheer among his favourite productions.

On the other hand, its production of Evita in 1987, marked by dissension in the ranks among members of the company, still rankles Cascone, although he credits it as a learning experience.

Meanwhile, Cascone’s commitment to the theatre has extended beyond Civic Light-Opera.

A retired teacher who taught at various Toronto schools, Cascone took a lead role in promoting theatre arts at the schools and took

pride mentoring young people who tapped into a love of the theatre.

Lamenting the trend of major theatres these days to stage either old chestnuts year in and year out or flashy rock operas and family productions, complete with expensive ticket prices, Cascone praised local theatre companies as the place audiences can find affordable theatrical gems.

“Guys and Dolls or South Pacific are great shows, but enough already,” he said.

“Musicals are changing, for better or worse. They are being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.”

Praising Civic Light-Opera for its willingness to take risks, Cascone said he believes people need to go to the theatre more often.

“Theatre is a human need. People think it’s an extravagance but it’s a human need to connect with human arts,” he said.

“People go to the theatre once or twice a year when they should go once a week.”

Civic Light-Opera is staging The Glorious Ones at the Zion Cultural Centre, 1650 Finch Ave.

Stay politically engaged once the polls close A

ffordable housing in Toronto Centre.

Improving opportunities for youth in Etobicoke North. Hospital mergers in Scarborough-Guildwood. Helping immigrants transition smoothly in Toronto.

Accessibility in Parkdale-High Park. Should the city walk away from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)? These were just a few of the issues we put to provincial candidates leading up to tonight’s provincial election.

So many more issues were raised throughout the campaign with those hoping to fill seats in the legislature – during our view Ontario debates, at your front door or on the streets.

Keep local Regardless of how you voted – or how you’re intending to vote issues at – remaining politically engaged after the results are tallied is far forefront more important.

We, the electorate, more often than not engage only during an election campaign – when it’s exciting to do so.

Rarely do we continue that engagement between elections.

This reality is unfortunate. Change is made every day, when residents across the city (and the province) continue to push what is important to them.

Granted, not everything makes it to the top of a growing list of issues, but not demanding better of our politicians certainly doesn’t change a thing.

Health care, education, jobs, the economy, transportation – these are big ticket items that impact the entire province, but it’s the local issues like decisions at the OMB that impact a community and really makes a difference in the everyday lives of Torontonians.

After the dust settles, and another provincial government is elected, it is time for residents to continue to push on those important issues.

Send letters to your newly elected or re-minted MPP, attend town halls, join a residents’ association, bring your neighbours together to fight for something important.

Do something. That way, when it’s time to head to the polls once again, you know that you’ve at least tried to make a difference.

Long municipal campaign good for voters Nearly six months into Toronto’s marathon mayoral race, leading candidate Olivia Chow has presented a novel idea: cut six months off the race, and let things get rolling on Canada Day. It’s n o t h i n g t h a t w e haven’t heard before.

Toronto elects a mayor like nobody else, with a campaign period starting on Jan. 2 and continuing until late October.

If there’s high interest in the position that year — whether for a lack of incumbent or, as in the case this year, a polarizing one — voters can be subjected to news clips, debates, op-ed pieces and now clever YouTube videos with a foot in all four seasons.

It’s expensive and daunting and sometimes a little boring. Well, maybe not that last one.

But Chow suggests that it is all a bit much — that there is nothing that can be said in 10 months that can’t also be said in four.

david nickle the city Chow does have a point.

But it’s hard to say that a tiresome and lengthy debate about the future of our city is particularly harmful to that future.

The fact is that while the campaign period runs a year, in times of complacency — the elections before the second terms of former mayors Mel Lastman and David Miller come to mind — the campaigns don’t really run that long at all.

There was certainly some hand-wringing in 2006, when Miller gamely defended his mayoralty against city councillor Jane Pitfield and lawyer Stephen LeDrew, but that race didn’t really get going until the summer.

And in 2000, Lastman barely bothered to run a campaign, as only the late Tooker Gomberg ran against him.

“

Toronto elects a mayor like nobody else, with a campaign period starting on Jan. 2 and continuing until late October.

But in years where the choice is less clear, our long campaign period offers advantages to voters that might be easy to overlook.

First, it allows us to meet the candidates — and the candidates to meet us.

A good mayoral candidate will start making the rounds of community groups early and often, both for the purpose of fundraising and for the purpose of building a platform. When not abused, this is exceedingly healthy — it keeps municipal government real, in a way that other more distant governments often aren’t.

It also allows candidates who may not have the highest profiles a chance to build

those, outside the extraordinary advantages of celebrity and wealth that only a few can bring to the table.

C h ow, f o r i n s t a n c e , entered the race with a well-established profile that included a well-timed book tour for her autobiography.

John Tory entered the race a popular talk radio host with a long history in Toronto and Ontario politics. Rob Ford’s an incumbent from a wealthy family.

So it’s good to be a Chow or a Tory or even a Ford in a four month campaign: not so much a Karen Stintz or a David Soknacki, who are still, six months in, struggling to build their own profiles.

And unless we want to limit our mayoral choices to the rich and famous, it’s not so good to be us either.

This is one issue that might be best to let lie.

Crow’s Theatre hosts meeting to discuss programming at new hub Crow’s Theatre, which is set to open a new theatre space in Leslieville in 2016, is asking for the community’s input about how its new performing arts facility and community hub at the corner of Carlaw Avenue and Dundas Street East can be a vibrant destination for all to enjoy.

Area residents are invited to take a five-minute survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ crows Those who take part will be eligible to win prizes from several local establishments as well as tickets to Crow’s upcoming 2014 to 2015 season.

A second survey, aimed at identifying existing groups that deliver cultural services and programming in the east end and across the GTA, has also been set up in an effort to identify areas of strength and need as well as identify existing arts organizations and artists that might be interested in using the new facility as a renter and/or partner. Visit

www.surveymonkey. com/s/crowscollaborating to take this survey.

Community members are also invited to attend a town hall meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at The Ralph Thornton Centre, 765 Queen St. E. This meeting will give the community an opportunity to meet the Crow’s Theatre team and learn more about the plans for the facility followed by an open forum about the cultural needs of the city’s east end and the role Crow’s can play in strengthening the role of culture.

Other community conversations aimed at helping shape the vision of Crow’s Theatre’s are also planned for June 24 and June 25, The first conversation, a roundtable for parents, is set to take place June 24 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Lil Bean and Green Café, 1133 Queen St.

See it

E. The theme is what kind of programming speaks to family’s needs.

A second conversation, also on June 24, will give arts lovers a chance to express their thoughts on what different kinds of arts programming are of most importance.

This event will be held at The Ralph Thornton Centre from 4 to 6 p.m.

The third session on June 25 (also at the Ralph Thornton Centre) will be an east-end artists roundtable for those working in the arts, while the final conversation, also on June 25 at Ralph Thornton, is a diversity roundtable on how crow’s theatre can be a partner and an ally to the many diverse communities in the east end.

All community sessions will be facilitated by an independent third party.

Brewpubs in Toronto are cooking up something new Mill Street and Granite breweries pairing up food and beer ALI RAZA bsrm@insidetoronto.com

I

nstead of a glass of wine with your meal, grab a pint of beer!

And where can you find such a pairing? With the rise in popularity of craft beer, it’s not hard to find places across the city that serve up tasty food with a thirst-quenching pint – and some even cook with beer, like Mill St. Brewpub in the Distillery District, and the granddaddy of Toronto brewpubs, Granite Brewery.

Jason A. Robins, head chef at Mill St., offers his insight on why he thinks

Courtesy/Mill Street Brew Pub

Cheese Fondue: Aged cheddar cheese, oka cheese, tankhouse ale, wild boar bratwurst, apples, roasted beets, roasted potatoes and pretzel bites.

beer and food have joined in a partnership.

“With the current menu structure I think about 75 to 80 per cent of our items have beer in them,” Robins said.

“It’s used in the cooking process. With our new menu changeover, it will bolster up to 90 per cent.”

Alongside cooking with

the brew, many pubs also offer a paired pint with the meal.

Robins said Canada lacks a true food culture.

Our diverse demographics have generated a varied cuisine; Canadian food can be anything from sushi to schnitzel.

However, “there is one thing we hold above or at

the same level as hockey as Canadians, and that’s beer,” Robins said.

“So you take beer and take the one thing we’re lacking right now, food culture. You take the two of them and smash them together and you hope that you can build something.”

“That’s the endeavor we’re trying to establish here at the Beer Hall, this idea of building a beer and food culture. We call it ‘tap to table,’” he added.

Pairing beer and food is not as common as wine and food. Several wines are offered at high-end restaurants with menu items and they’re served in specific glassware. Robins says the same care and precision can be applied for beer.

“Pairing beers and food is no different than pairing wine with food,” he said.

“We’ve been doing it for eons. Is it a sales tactic versus a cultural phenomenon? Well, we do it because it works really well with

what we do here.”

Ron Keefe, owner of Granite Brewery and Restaurant at Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road, said people’s palettes are different; what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for others.

“We definitely make recommendations if people are looking to pair their meal with a nice beer, like the Curried Shrimp, which has the IPA in the curry sauce, so it’ll definitely work with our IPA,” said Keefe.

“That said, we’re not pushy. People have their favourite beers and their favourite meals – however they want to enjoy the two is up to them.”

Robins said it even comes down to how the beer is served: elements like glassware, the thickness of the head, the aroma of the beer, all work together to enhance the meal.

Beer can also be used to create new ingredients. In the Mill St. kitchen, Robins

experiments with pickles and cheese.

It’s not just about the beer. Food is an equally important aspect of the experience.

“The great thing about the Beer Hall is you don’t have to like beer to eat here,” said Robins.

“And if you never drink beer, you’ll learn something about it. If you come in open-minded and allow yourself to try things then you will go away stunned at what you learned.”

Both Mill St. and Granite will be taking part in the Session Toronto Craft Beer Festival – part of Ontario Craft Beer Week – at YongeDundas Square, June 13 and 14. The event is sponsored by Metroland Media Toronto, which publishes this paper.

We can’t predict the weather but there are many things to do to prepare your home for it Despite a year of extreme weather, Canadians do not feel any more prepared to deal with its potential impacts, according to the seventh annual RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study. In fact, only half (52 per cent) feel prepared to cope with the adverse effects of severe thunderstorms. About 38 per cent feel prepared for flooding and a mere 27 per cent feel prepared for hurricanes.

“With extreme weather events on the rise, it’s likely that most Canadians will experience moderate to severe weather events in their area sometime this year,” says Paula Bandi, Senior Product Manager, Home, RBC Insurance. “Learning what actions to take can help Canadians protect themselves, their family and their home in the event of an emergency.”

RBC Insurance® offers these important tips to help Canadian homeowners prepare for extreme weather events: 1. Inspect the roof annually, checking for missing, curled or damaged shingles. If any, speak with a professional roofing contractor.

2. Maintain eavestroughs and keep them clear of debris.

3. Seal any cracks in foundation walls and floors.

4. Install a back-flow valve or a backup generator for basement sewage drains or sump pumps.

5. Install downspout extensions, rain barrels and splash pads to ensure water is flowing away from your home.

6. Keep outdoor storm sewer grates clear of debris.

7. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed to avoid branches or trees falling onto your home or your neighbour’s home.

8. Have large trees that are growing directly over pipes checked every three years to ensure there are no cracks where roots can enter and grow.

9. Install impact-resistant windows and doors and, at least once a year, check that they’re secure and re-caulk as needed.

10. Put together an emergency kit of first aid items and supplies, and identify the safest area of your home for shelter.

More than 17,000 people have already applied including Beach resident Lillian Chausse.

Chausse said she has always been involved in sport. She is a former gymnast and coach and also volunteered with the 2008 Toronto Olympic bid.

She said it was an obvious decision to volunteer for the Pan Am Games.

“I like to promote our city and our country,” she said. “I’m a very proud Canadian.”

Not only does she want to volunteer, but she would like her colleagues to get involved as well.

“It’s really good to get other people involved,” Chausse said. “It’s one of the biggest events in our city. It will put our country in the spot-

light.”

There are many jobs available for volunteers including preparing the field of play, taking tickets, ushering spectators to their seats, shuttling athletes and dignitaries to venues and participating in the opening and closing ceremonies.

Visitors and media from

all over the Americas and the Caribbean will be at the Games and it’s Toronto’s chance to showcase its city.

Downtown resident Domanique Grant said she is excited to be volunteering for the Pan Am Games. She is currently on the TO2015’s youth advisory council.

“I think it’s important for youth to volunteer because they get a chance to learn about themselves and community building,” she said.

Fellow downtown resident Vernon Garraway is looking forward to volunteering for the games. Garraway is a former athlete who has been volunteering for 23 years.

He has already done some volunteering with Toronto2015’s Streetside festival last August, as well as many other sporting and culturing events.

Gather around the grill It’s all about remembering Dad’s favourites on Father’s Day. While everyone relaxes and enjoys the serenity of the backyard, these ribs will be slowly cooking to mouth-watering perfection.

SERVING FATHER’S DAY BRUNCH AND DINNER Now taking reservations for Saturday June 14th and Sunday June 15th BRUNCH SAT-SUN 9:30AM-3PM • LUNCH TUES-FRI 11:30-2:30 DINNER TUES-SUN 5PM ONWARD Toronto Life calls “this east-end bistro (is) an anomaly in this non-trendy strip of the Danforth” Jan, 2009

Ingredients: • 5 pounds baby back ribs Sauce: • 1 cup ketchup • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce • 4 tablespoons soy sauce • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard • 3 tablespoons honey • 2 tablespoons orange juice • 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tablespoon ginger • Grated zest of an orange • Salt and pepper Directions: Preheat the grill to medium and turn down to low. Prepare ribs for grilling by removing the membrane from the underside

of the ribs. Prepare several foil envelopes and place 2 strips of ribs into each envelope, with 1/4 cup of water and seal tightly. Cook for 2 to 21/2 hours on low (300*F) with the lid closed. Check the thermometer on the front of the grill lid frequently and adjust the cooking temperature accordingly. This may require turning one or two burners off and cooking indirectly.

To prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and set aside until the ribs are ready to

remove from the foil. Gently heat the sauce on the side burner for 10 to 15 minutes before using.

Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place on grids. Baste generously with sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, leaving the lid open, turning several times, and basting with sauce after each turn.

Heat remaining sauce to a boil and then allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Apply to paint a new mural New LCBO Opens Tomorrow at Gerrard India Bazaar

Meet Your Newest Neighbour!

The Gerrard India Bazaar is looking for artists or art groups to paint a new mural on Gerrard Street East.

The Business Improvement Area (BIA) recently received a grant from the City of Toronto for a mural project on the east side of a building at 1455 Gerrard St E. at Craven Road.

The mural will be about 66 feet by 13 feet tall and aims to reflect the broad contours of the culture and traditions of the Indian subcontinent.

Artists, who should avoid any designs with direct depiction/presentation of gods/goddesses or any other political or religious views, are invited to submit up to four detailed sketches/renditions as well as details about the time line, media, colours, durability/longevity and maintenance of the mural, by July 25 to Subbu Chintaluri, Gerrard India Bazaar BIA manager, 1426 Gerrard St.

E., Toronto, ON, M4L 1Z6 or via email at gibbia@gerrardindiabazaar.com The winning muralist or group, which will receive $7,000 for the project, will be announced Aug. 25. The project is expected to take place Sept. 1 to Oct. 15.

Call 416-465-8513. work for lower Don Valley wArt

Internationally acclaimed artist/architect Paul Raff has been selected to design and produce an integrated art piece for a 1.6-kilometre stretch of fence in the lower Don Valley.

Raff, who was previously retained to design a permanent public art piece for Underpass Park, was selected for the project by a panel of Toronto-based urbanists.

The design for Raff’s latest

piece is expected to be completed this summer.

Construction should get underway in the fall.

The Lower Don Valley Art Fence is part of a greater improvement project being done along a well-used 4.7-kilometre section of the lower Don Trail, which runs along the Don Valley from Pottery Road to the new Corktown Common.

This trail is set to be part of the Pan Am Path, a legacy project for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

The enhancements, which will also include trail and access upgrades, are being done by DTAH in partnership with fellow architectural firm AECOM and the city of Toronto.

Catch all the World Cup action across the city The World Cup begins today in Brazil, and fans across Toronto are preparing to wave their flags as they cheer on their favourite teams.

Other than being in Brazil for this year’s world championship of soccer, which runs to July 13, Toronto is probably the best place in the world for fans to catch the action.

And our newspapers and our special World Cup Toronto website at insidetoronto.com/worldcupTO are the best places for coverage on the tournament in our city.

Here’s how it works: • Enter www.insidetoronto.

com/worldcupto and you will see the flags of all 32 teams taking part. Click on the flag of your favourite country.

• Now on your country’s site, you can see stories on the best places in the Greater Toronto Area to catch events, stories, and news linked to the team, and ultimately viewers’ guides about the World Cup in general.

• There are recipes from all 32 countries for those interested in hosting a party, or just like the idea of trying different foods. Other stories will celebrate the many cultures who enjoy the World Cup.

• We have a number of bloggers writing about the teams they are following.

The World Cup starts June 12 with a game between host Brazil and Croatia at 4 p.m.

(EST) in Sao Paulo.

There are 32 teams taking part in this year’s World Cup, broken up into eight groups of four. After playing each other in group play between June 12 and 26, the top two teams in each group will advance to the Round of 16 which begins June 28.

Many Toronto neighbourhoods are known as gathering places for fans of certain countries to watch their

teams’ games.

In Toronto, these areas include Little Italy, Little Portugal, Koreatown, and Corso Italia to name a few.

See our story on the eight great places to watch a World Cup game in Toronto at http://bit.ly/1uSRVM5 The weekend will be a big one for Toronto fans, with seven games slated over Saturday and Sunday – many of them featuring teams with large fan bases in the city.

For instance, Italy takes on England at 6 p.m. on Saturday, which will mean an exciting night along College Street and St. Clair Avenue West.

GreekTown joins the fun jean ko din jkdin@insidetoronto.com The FIFA World Cup is now on and local soccer fans are starting to fly their team colours.

And for East York and Riverdale residents, that means GreekTown will be painting the Danforth blue and white.

Legends Sports Lounge, at 774 Danforth Ave., is expecting a huge Greek crowd Saturday for Greece’s match against Colombia.

“The Greeks that we have are loud,” said Nick Papalambropoulos, owner of Legends Sports Lounge.

In the spirit of World Cup, Legends will be celebrating with special prices and merchandise giveaways during all games. They are also holding raffles for Toronto FC and Blue Jays tickets.

Another sports fan destination is the Fox and the Fiddle at 535 Danforth Ave. General manager Jimmy Georgoulis said they will a full house for the games.

In celebration of the World Cup, Rally Sports Rally Sports Bar and Smokehouse on 1660 O’Connor Dr. is handing out samples of a different European imported beer for every game.

Help Shape the City of Toronto’s Long Term Waste Management Strategy Our Garbage, Our Opportunity, Our Solution…

Public Open Houses Join us at Public Information Centre Round #1: Monday, June 16, 2014 6:30pm-9:00pm North York City Centre Memorial Community Hall (Burgundy Room) 5110Yonge St. (Yonge Street north of Sheppard Ave.) Subway:Yonge Line to NorthYork Centre

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 6:30pm-9:00pm St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church 3819 Bloor St. W. (just west of Kipling) Subway: Bloor/Danforth Line to Kipling Background The City is developing a LongTerm Waste Management Strategy for Toronto that will provide a framework for solid waste management policy decisions over the next 30 to 50 years. How should we manage our remaining garbage even after reuse, recycling, and composting?

Our goal is to find solutions that are cost-effective, socially acceptable, and environmentally sustainable.

>>>from page 1 “This is only interim until we get a plan worked out. It’s an allowance,” she said.

“We need a bigger conversation for a longer-term solution.”

The agreement they came up with is to contain all events to the building’s main floor.

Pa r k s , Fo r e s t r y a n d Recreation, which owns and manages The Gardener’s Cottage, will be providing a portable washroom.

A trained fire marshall, complete with a whistle and flashlight, will also be on hand at all events.

“The first floor has two exits so it was never a concern,” said Rocco Delle Save, Toronto Fire Services’ district chief of fire prevention east command.

“It’s a temporary solution until there’s a second exit on the second floor. Every floor has to have two exits.”

Delle Save said a few events were held at the Gardener’s Cottage where people were allowed to go upstairs to use the washroom, but in the end having a portable toilet outside was the better option for

The Gardener’s Cottage.

all involved.

“Toronto Fire feels better about the portable toilet idea,” Delle Save said, adding they understand that financially it’s tough to come up with a plan to bring the building up to the Ontario Fire Code.

Stuart Slessor, Parks, Forestry and Recreation’s supervisor of Eastern Beaches, Toronto Waterfront, agreed.

“It is a difficult call because it’s a very important historical facility and a lot of people depend on it for their art

shows and so forth,” he said.

“It’s still only a reprieve and we have to come up with some sort of plan,” he said, adding the city’s parks department must also consider the accessibility.

“It leaves the future of the Kew Cottage in a bit of limbo,” said Slessor, pointing to one possible option of expanding the building and using the cottage portion as more of a museum showpiece space. “ With approvals and financing, environmental assessments and public consultations it would be a lengthy, multi-year process.”

Slessor said the city would keep the community informed every step of the way.

The first major public event at the Gardener’s Cottage was the Beach Guild of Fine Art’s show and sale in May. A number of events are planned for the rest of the year. The Gardener’s Cottage second floor is currently being used as a parks supervisor’s office.
