Putting the fizz into park renewal REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com Tommy Thomspon Park is getting a new look and it’s a whole lot greener thanks to a $500,000 donation by Coca-Cola Canada.

Over the next five years, start-

ing early 2014, the company, along with Environment Canada, the Toronto Port Authority, and the City of Toronto, will be restoring the area in a project with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA).

The funding for the project

will be given in $100,000 installments over five years.

“This great location behind me will be transformed from a stagnant marsh and abandoned disposal site into sustainable wetlands and will provide natural habitats and flowing freshwater while reducing pollution

in the area,” said Nicola Kettlitz, president of Coca-Cola Canada, Tuesday morning at the park during an event announcing their donation.

A bylaw limiting the concentration of bars on Queen Street West in Parkdale, was not only unanimously passed by Toronto and East York Community Council (TEYCC), but a number of councillors praised the idea and said they want the same rules in their wards, including Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher.

The Queen West Restaurant Study report was before community council on Tuesday.

It outlines a number of amendments to the zoning bylaw with an aim to balance the interests of area residents and businesses and address concerns related to the ever increasing number of restaurants and bars, including some that function more like night clubs along Queen Street West between Roncesvalles Avenue and Dufferin Street.

Fletcher said an upcoming Queen Street East study could take full advantage of this report and she intends to see it used as an example for her end of the city.

TEGH Healthy Lifestyle Clinic helps youth overcome obesity rebecca field rfield@insidetoronto.com

C

orey Gomes always asks for multigrain with his meals.

It’s something his fellow 14-year-old friends find unusual, but he sticks with it as the professed “Poster Boy” of the Healthy Lifestyle Clinic at Toronto East General Hospital (TEGH), which he started a year and a half ago.

It’s through this program that Corey changed from being part of a growing statistic of obese children, to a normal Grade 8 student and one of the fastest players on his soccer team.

“During the day at school, I’ll end up doing five laps at school then I come home and I end up doing practice at Cherry Hill and that’s more laps,” said Corey, who lives in Mississauga with his parents and older siblings. If I did this before I would be dying.”

It was after Corey gained 20 pounds a year for three consecutive years his pediatrician suggested visiting the clinic, which is geared toward healthy lifestyles rather than dieting and weight loss.

The program helps children between the ages of three and 17, as well as some older and younger patients with special needs.

Dr. John Philpott joined the hospital in starting up the program almost 10 years ago, which now takes place in TEGH’s recently opened Child and Teen clinic.

“Unfortunately, it’s a problem that tends to be on the rise,” Philpott said.

Currently in Canada, more than 30 per cent of children are considered to be overweight or obese, according to the Childhood Obesity Foundation, something that, for many of them, will continue on into adult-

hood.

During childhood, obesity can cause diabetes, sleep apnea, low self-esteem, as well place kids at a higher risk of being bullied, which Corey himself experienced from four boys he played soccer with.

“That kind of fuelled me more,” said Corey, who notes some of the boys are now heavier than him, and didn’t get onto the school soccer team like he did.

The program lasts for about a year, depending on the child’s needs, and requires once-amonth visits with either a pediatrician or a dietician.

Patients or their parents are required to keep a diary of what they’re eating to find out what is missing from their diet, as well as the amount of physical exercise they are doing.

“Our lives and environments have made it so convenient.

We’ve engineered physical activity out of our lives,” Philpott said.

“Almost 60 per cent of kids have to be driven back and forth to school every day.”

He emphasized walking to school alone can change the amount of physical activity a kid is getting. Sixty minutes a day is the suggested amount from Health Canada.

“It’s about finding an activity that they already enjoy and trying to do more of it,” said Philpott, who has a background in sports medicine for kids.

He told Corey to try out for his school soccer teams on top of playing soccer at the Dixie Soccer Club in Mississauga.

“With Dr. Philpott, when the kids come in and start talking to him, sometimes it’s a battle,” said Diane Versace-Gomes, Corey’s mother.

“He was ready. He was totally on board and I was willing to go on board with him.”

For Corey and his family, it

Corey Gomes successfully completed his program through the Healthy Lifestyle Clinic at Toronto East General Hospital, doctors calling him the program’s poster boy.

was about learning to visualize the proper way to make a plate for dinner. Diane emphasizes Corey likes healthy food, which can often be part of the battle for families with obese children. For Corey, it was just about learning to make the right choice.

He ended up being so diligent

with his eating and exercise that doctors became concerned he was losing weight too quickly and told him to stop exercising so much.

“I’m like ‘you gotta be kidding me’,” said Diane, who emphasized the program was always about Corey growing into his

– Dr. John Philpott

weight, not losing it. “They were concerned that he was going to become obsessive and that they’d create a little monster.”

Not every child is as successful as Corey, however, some lose weight only to gain even more back.

Philpott said often family life factors into the issue – things like eating fast foods and not having time to plan healthy meals properly.

With Diane cooking most of the meals, Corey’s regimen has been more of a family effort.

“I made him a promise, whatever you do, I’ll do with you,” said Diane. “We had a little trouble with my husband. We called him the saboteur for a while.”

“I’m European, what tastes good, you eat,” said dad Americo Gomes, who is Portuguese and has more recently come around to the idea of eating whole wheat pastas, and cutting down on meat, also managing to lose weight alongside Corey.

“Summer is going to be tough, because it’s barbecue season.”

Corey had his last appointment with Philpott Thursday, June 13 where he received some professional soccer jerseys from the doctor who travels with Team Canada.

“He’s quite proud of him,” Diane said.

“You can tell in the way he (Corey) runs and carries himself.

It’s a big difference.”

Build a sandcastle at Woodbine beach and raise funds for TEGH Beaches Lodge hosts the annual sandcastle building competition Get your pail and shovel ready for the Beaches Lodge seventh annual sandcastle building competition on Sunday.

The event will take place on Woodbine Beach, 1675 Lake Shore Blvd. E., where money will be collected to determine a winner and then donated to Toronto East General Hospital.

“I’m looking forward to a big

sandcastle,” said Graeme Boyce, the event organizer. “I go in every year with the same thought of building something big, nice and splendid with a big moat. Not intricate, but big.”

Boyce said the definition of a sandcastle has changed over the years to include things from sandcastles to sculpted sand dragons.

More groups from local pubs,

banks, schools, boy scouts, TEGH and families have formed teams each year – building 12 sandcastles last year alone.

The event runs from 1 to 3 p.m.

People walking by will vote by putting dollars in designated cups for the sandcastles.

The money is then collected from each sandcastle and a winner is determined.

“We’ve had a lot of fun,” Boyce said. “We’ve been looking forward to reclaiming our trophy.”

There is no cost for teams to join, as long as they show up ready to put their best sandcastle forward in the time allotted.

– Rebecca Field

i

The event runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at Woodbine Beach. Just show up ready to build.

T

he City of Toronto wants to host the 2017 World Youth Championships in Athletics. The event features the world’s top track and field athletes aged 17 and under.

Right now, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal have all shown an interest in hosting the event, and are in the process of submitting their bids to Athletics Canada.

In December of this year, that organization decides which Canadian city will have the right to hold the games. The Canadian bid goes to the International Association of Athletics Federation in late 2014, at which time it will decide the host country.

Some 170 countries participate, and it’s estimated there will be 1,400 athletes and 600 team officials in attendance. Canada last hosted in 2003 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Athletics Canada estimated the championships generated some $37.4 million in benefits to the Province of Quebec, with $28 milour view lion of that being in Sherbrooke.

Toronto’s hosting would come on the heels of the Pan Am/ City in great Parapan Games set for August of position for 2015 in this city and the GTA. Having hosted the Pan Am future events Games just two years earlier will put us in an excellent position to host the World Youth Championships.

One of the key parts of the Pan Am Games in 2015 is the legacy it leaves Toronto in athletic infrastructure and experience. We will already have an army of trained volunteers who can be activated for any number of international community events in Toronto.

The legacy of that volunteer force goes beyond athletic events, though. Their enthusiasm, pride and experience will make them a powerful force.

Perhaps those volunteers become the cornerstones of a new civic ambassadors program that spreads the message of Toronto the Good on a continuous basis.

Real people who are spreading the good word about Toronto and area is more valuable in terms of international credibility than figureheads who simply do business elsewhere or serve in a political capacity.

Toronto residents don’t have to look too far to see the impact the 2015 Pan Am Games are already having – the brand new athletics stadium under construction at York University is just one example.

Toronto’s bid for the World Youth Championships is being led by the Toronto Sports Council and Athletics Ontario. We urge residents to show their support. A great way to do so is to take part in the 2015 Pan Am Games – either as a volunteer or enthusiastic supporter.

Time for Mayor Ford to get a driver For years, Doug Ford has been saying his brother Mayor Rob Ford needs a bodyguard. The events of last weekend, in which Mayor Ford was doused with a frozen drink at a public event, might be considered supporting evidence.

One shouldn’t take such a dousing too lightly.

As a 27-year-old yoga instructor has discovered, allegedly tossing a drink in a gentleman’s face fits within the legal definition of criminal assault. The cup could as easily have been filled with a more harmful substance – or it could have been a knife, or a gun.

It wasn’t this time. And the mayor and his nonsecurity staff reportedly proved more than capable of chasing the woman down, apprehending her and turning her over to the criminal justice system.

It’s understandable the mayor might have been reluctant to include an actual bodyguard on his staff until now. It paints an unfriendly picture of a

david nickle the city mayor who prides himself on personally dealing with constituents’ problems.

But the time might have come to reconsider that.

During his recent troubles, the mayor has availed himself of city hall security – the department that is on hand to look out for the security of City Hall itself and the safety of the public – to ensure his own comfort and safety as he moves about the building.

And while so far he’s been hit by nothing worse than a frozen beverage and impertinent questions, it would be fair to suppose that he’s raised more ire than your typical mayor.

Still, a bodyguard added to Mayor Ford’s staff might be more than he needs.

One addition that might be helpful, however, would be another one that his brother Doug, as well as his deputy mayor Doug Holyday have

also been suggesting for many years: a driver.

They raised that matter most vociferously in 2012, when Mayor Ford was photographed reading speaking notes while driving along the Gardiner Expressway.

If he’d had a driver then, Mayor Ford could have studied his notes riding shotgun.

A driver might also be helpful on some of the mayor’s other issues — specifically, his frequent tardiness when attending public events. And a driver might also provide the level of protection that our mayor demonstrably needs, while being prepared for various emergencies, medical and otherwise, to lend a hand.

If nothing else, the driver might provide another pair of eyes to warn the mayor away from the various dangers and traps our city presents, before he encounters them himself.

Letter

Keep land transfer tax To the editor: I have heard Mayor Rob Ford is still intent on reducing, if not eliminating, the city’s land transfer tax.

While I am in favour of eliminating taxes whenever possible, I was surprised to read this tax brought in more than $340 million in 2012 alone.

Ford wants to reduce the tax by 10 per cent, creating an estimated $34 million loss to the city coffers.

This money, if spent wisely, is vital to our city services and we can’t afford to turn our backs on this income.

If the players in the real estate market want to play, let them but they have to be under no illusions about the cost of doing business in Toronto.

REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com Hanging on the wall of the cozy Lazy Daisy’s café at Gerrard and Coxwell hang 23 portraits of students from Bowmore Road Public School.

Painted, drawn, gluedtogether, the artwork is different colours, shapes and sizes much like the grade fours and fives who made them.

What started as a classroom project to teach students portrait drawing, evolved into drawings to make art with a message that was meaningful to them.

“About midway through I realized that the kids work was really worthy of being shown,” said Kara Del Aguila, the students’ teacher who organized the display which will be hanging at Lazy Daisy’s until June 27, the kids’ last day of school.

“To me, it was spectacular for this age group.”

From Picasso-like manifestations to portraits made entirely with yarn, each portrait has a different message about who the child is, as well as a display of their artistic ability with shading or colour.

Del Aguila had a discussion with her students about messages in art, and that everything could potentially be read as having meaning or intention.

“That’s a pretty heavy conversation for nine, 10 and 11-year olds, but the idea was that every choice you make reflects you or a message.”

One student, was able to colour his face in the same style as President Obama’s campaign posters, with red and blues shading his face. Another drew herself wearing a hijab in front of the Pakistani flag, to repre-

sent where she came from and how she dressed before moving to Canada.

“Some of the kids actually are recognizable in their portraits,” said Del Aguila.

“They’re proud of themselves which is the most valuable thing for me to watch.”

Del Aguila hopes to continue doing annual art project displays with Lazy Daisy’s to give her students a chance to be connected with the community and have the opportunity to get their work outside of the school environment.

“It provides this great atmosphere when you get in here,” said Dawn Chapman, owner of Lazy Daisy’s. “The thing about children’s art as well, they’re very unencumbered by restrictions. Their work is very unique.”

Lazy Daisy’s cafe is located at 1515 Gerrard St. E., at Coxwell Ave.

TUNNEL FACTS

Our new pedestrian tunnel will make accessing the airport easier, reducing congestion. Construction was funded completely by the private sector, based on part of the existing Airport Improvement Fee paid by every passenger.

And we incorporated City water and sanitary main improvements into the tunnel that will save city taxpayers $10 million by avoiding duplicate construction. So while everyone can benefit from the tunnel, only those who use the airport paid for it.

Originally, there was some question regarding whether the city could enact such a bylaw.

The city’s legal department reviewed the Queen Street West bylaw and gave it the go-ahead.

Recommendations include limiting both seating and dance floor size and limiting the number of restaurants in the study area to 25 per cent.

Further to that, residents on second floors are being moved out as the bars expand so the area is loosing affordable housing, Perks said.

When money-making bars take over an area, Perks explained that drives up the rent, pushing out services like grocery stores for local residents.

The aim of the suggested zoning amendments are to limit the overall impacts of restaurants on the adjacent residential and commercial uses, while still allowing opportunities for new restaurants to open.

“A livable, walkable community is at risk,” Perks said.

“We don’t want our main streets to turn into a mono culture.”

The report also indicates staff will come back in three years to see the impact on businesses.

Underground Municipal Infrastructure Notice of Upcoming Construction The Project

Leslie St

Memory Lane

N

Under its previous name, the Ashbridges Bay Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) Maintenance and Storage Facility Transit Project Assessment Process was completed under Ontario Regulation 231/08 and followed the Ontario Transit Project Assessment Process Guide (March 2009). The Project Statement of Completion was issued in December 2010. In 2011 the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)/City of Toronto (co-proponents) initiated the preliminary and detailed design phases of the project.

A connection track from Queen Street to the facility will be built along Leslie Street (see map). Design of this connection track has identified the need to relocate or rehabilitate some of the following municipal infrastructure, much of which is aging, located beneath the proposed track:

The TTC is building the Leslie Barns, a streetcar maintenance and storage facility at the corner of Leslie and Lake Shore, to accommodate new, low floor, accessible streetcars.

Built to Toronto Green Development standards, features of the facility include a storm water management pond, green roof and enhanced streetscaping.

lie Les s n Bar

• Replace the existing storm culvert south of Lake Shore Boulevard East with a new twin box culvert and connect to the existing culvert via two (2) new cast-in-place chambers (at Commissioners Street and immediately north of Lake Shore Boulevard East); St ners issio m • Rehabilitate the existing storm culvert(s) with glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) Liner from m Co immediately north of Lake Shore Boulevard East to Queen Street; • Replace 1050mm steel storm sewer from immediately north of Lake Shore Boulevard East to Mosley Street; Construction • Replace sanitary sewer(s) from Commissioners Street to Mosley Street; Limits • Replace and upsize sanitary sewer from Eastern Avenue to Queen Street; • Extend watermain across Leslie Street at Lake Shore Boulevard East (south side); • Replace all existing sanitary and water services to businesses and residents along Leslie Street within the existing road right-of-way; • Replace watermain from Mosley Street to Queen Street; and • Access and clean the existing storm sewer on Commissioners Street from Leslie Street to the proposed existing storm sewer isolation structure at the Innocon site on Commissioners Street.

In addition to providing City operations crews with access for future maintenance by coordinating the above works with the connection track, the City avoids the need to make future underground infrastructure repairs/replacements and reintroduce construction on Leslie Street at a later date.

The Process As all of the proposed construction will take place within the existing Leslie Street right-of-way or City easements, the above infrastructure replacements and rehabilitation works are classified as a Schedule “A+” undertaking as defined in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000 as amended in 2007 and 2011). A Schedule “A+” project is pre-approved under the Environmental Assessment Act and includes the requirement for public notification prior to project implementation. By issuance of this notice, the TTC and the City of Toronto has fulfilled its public notification requirements for the above works.

Municipal infrastructure replacements and rehabilitation is anticipated to commence in June 2013.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact the TTC at the addresses:

run for H-5 subway trains wLast

rahul gupta

The last subway train from a fleet dating back to the 1970s made its final journey in the TTC system last week. The H-5 trains, which were manufactured by Hawker-Siddeley, were characterized by orange and brown seats and yellow interior doors.

When they began service in 1977, they were the first subway cars to have air conditioning. At noon last Friday, the final H-5 train left Wilson Station on the YongeUniversity-Spadina line for one last trip – but only made it to Eglinton West Station before it was taken off-line for good.

TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the train will eventually be shipped to Lagos, Nigeria to join other H-5s providing service there.

Woodcock to find the mysterious station located on the Sheppard line, which is likely the TTC’s least-visited subway destination.

“I am going to Bessarion Station to prove to myself it exists,” says Woodcock during the six-minute long video.

He adds, “I have no idea what I am going to see there.”

Does Woodcock ever find Bessarion?

You’ll have to watch the video. It has already been viewed by nearly 14,000 people since it was released June 11 on YouTube.

Made up of volunteers,

the panel, which will meet between the fall of this year and throughout 2014, will work on addressing community concerns with TTC staff as well as assist with developing criteria for constructing future second exits.

Finalists for a $200,000 public art project at Union Station celebrating the city’s rich parks history were unveiled recently.

The five candidates are the last of 36 vying for the opportunity to create a permanent art installation 21-metres long on a new pedestrian concourse below Front Street in honour of Walks and Garden Trust, a city agency established in 1853 to create public parks projects along the Toronto shoreline.

Hundreds turn out for meeting on future of Gardiner Expressway RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com

as a first opportunity to view design proposals as part of an environmental assessment study of the Gardiner’s elevated eastern portion from Jarvis Street to the Don Valley Parkway, and Lake Shore Boulevard.

During the meeting, a panel made up of Waterfront and city staff outlined the six commissioned design visions ranging from beautifying the crumbling expressway to tearing down it completely.

The designs are intended to be the first opportunity for the public to provide feedback which will then be incorporated in the Gardiner East study, said Waterfront Toronto’s Christopher Glaisek, vice president for planning and desig.

East York resident Brendan Pine was impressed by the plans, but concerned they weren’t incorporating enough transit integration.

“They seem like expensive design ideas, but it’s all about

When it comes to the future of the Gardiner Expressway, Gloria Cornell is concerned.

Cornell, a volunteer driver for seniors, relies on the expressway at least a couple of times a week. The Queens Quay resident said she accepts the Gardiner needs major improvements, but was “terrified” it will eventually be demolished.

“You can’t just rip it down, there will be thousands of cars with nowhere to go,” warned the pensioner at a meeting on the expressway’s future last Thursday.

“Clean it up, make it safe, make it look nicer, that’s fine.

But we need the Gardiner.”

Cornell was one of hundreds to attend the meeting at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Organized by Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto, the event was billed

people and where they’re going to live and how they’re going to move around,” he said.

The study, which is about one quarter complete, was resumed earlier this year after a two-year hiatus.

Its findings will not affect nearly $500 million of funded repair work scheduled to take place in the next 10 years, said deputy city manager John Livey.

He said a full costing out will be undertaken by Waterfront Toronto and the city for the final design recommendations, which will be presented to city council in a year’s time.

“We’re going to do a good job I believe estimating those costs,” said Livey. “Detailed designs will give greater precision which will be enough ammunition for council to make a decision.”

Tall Ships expected to draw huge crowds to festival JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Lake Ontario will be home to an impressive nautical sight as the Tall Ships make their way to Toronto’s waterfront as part of the Redpath Waterfront Festival.

With four days of events planned along two kilometres of the city’s burgeoning shores, the festival promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the massive seagoing vessels serving as a signature draw.

“We did a test event with the Tall Ships a few years ago,” said Redpath Waterfront Festival co-producer Lea Parrell.

“There’s a saying in the Tall Ships world: if you bring tall ships, people will come.’”

That saying proved correct in 2010, when some 750,000 people came down to check out the boats. This year’s Waterfront Festival will bolster the ships’ appearances with a wide array of other events, including interactive theatrical productions about the War of

Ships to be the biggest draw.

“It’s free general admission, but people can buy a wristband and have a chance to get on a ship,” she said.

“The largest boat is the SS Sorlandet from Norway, which is unique in that a class of students spends a year afloat on it every year.”

The 210-foot ship, which boasts over 13,300 square feet of sails, will lead a fleet of 11 ships. Fittingly, Toronto Brigantine Inc. (www.torontobrigantine.org) is the chosen charity of this year’s Redpath Waterfront Festival. The Brigantine offers sail training for youth aboard the STV (Sail Training Vessel) Pathfinder and the TS (Training Ship) Playfair, two tall ships that will be part of the festivities.

The organization uses sailing as a means of characterbuilding while giving youth a memorable experience on the water.

“We mainly focus on teaching the youth the values you learn while sail training,” said Toronto Brigantine program

The Tall Ships will once again remain the premier draw of the waterfront festival. Among those slated to attend include the Playfair, above left, the Pathfinder, right.

1812, flyboarding demonstrations, food, film, live music and more.

The festival will draw attention – and crowds – to the waterfront, which is undergoing a massive and long overdue revitalization.

“It’s funny, but even today a lot of people don’t seem to realize we live on a lake here,” Parrell said.

“People know about the

Harbourfront Centre and Queens Quay Terminal, but there’s a lot more to the waterfront than those two buildings.”

Parrell hopes the Tall Ships will draw a huge crowd out to the festival, which will in turn help reintroduce Torontonians to the city’s shoreline.

“There’s an awful lot of life along these two kilometres of waterfront,” she said. “In 2010,

Harbour Square Park opened and in 2012, Sugar Beach was added. It’s really become a great place and people need to get to know it again.”

This year’s Waterfront Festival will have an east coast theme, with Nova Scotiathemed food, a 28-foot replica of Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, folk music and more.

Despite the variety of events on tap, Parrell expects the Tall

coordinator Kezia Weed.

She noted the participants’ lack of sailing experience – everyone on the ship with the exception of the captain is a teen and those on board are forced to work in shifts to ensure the ships are operating properly 24/7 – ensures they learn techniques quickly.

“Most of the people in the program have zero or very little sailing experience,” she said. “When you get a lot of kids together who are really unfamiliar with sailing, they start working together really quickly.”

The ships leave port in late June and do not return until September, ensuring an immersive seagoing experience. A bursary program provides all youth with an opportunity to sail.

The Redpath Waterfront Festival will kick off tomorrow and will run through to Sunday.

Tommy Thompson Park project receives $500,000 from Coca-Cola Canada

Readers’ Choice Contest

>>>from page 1 construction waste from all over the city. It is currently home to more than 300 species, including eight species of fish – more than 200 of which have been tagged by the TRCA to keep track of which animals are using the habitat.

“Toronto is one of the best kept secrets for fishing,” said Rick Portiss of the TRCA while handling a large Northern Pike in a demonstration of the different types and sizes of fish at the event.

The project will involve emptying different sections of the current wetlands of water and sea life over five years to reduce contamination and restoring the waterbed to provide proper habitats for fish to thrive. After proper green habitats are established, wildlife will slowly be reintroduced to the area.

This is one of 468 water partnership projects CocaCola has joined including projects to improve the Mekong and Yangsze rivers, among others globally.

The park will also become more accessible to the Toronto public with more human-friendly trails and fishing locations.

“I’m often thinking that probably the majority of people in the GTA would not know that this specific site happens to exist in the way that it does,” said environment minister Jim Bradley, at the event. “It’s a real gem for sure.”

Ontario Craft Beer Week celebrates a growing industry JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

O

ntario’s craft brewing industry is booming, with the proof coming in the form of a week celebrating the province’s independent breweries.

Ontario Craft Beer (OCB) Week, which runs from Sunday, June 16 through Sunday, June 23, brings a variety of events to venues throughout Toronto and in some 40 other cities.

The week was launched at a special ceremony in the Distillery District on Friday with Ontario Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Employment Dr. Eric Hoskins joining craft brewers from across the province to sample beer at Mill Street Brewery’s new Beer Hall.

“People young and old will have the opportunity to sample some of the best of what this province produces,” he said.

of struggling with the larger breweries. Black Oak has just released its first new brand in 13 years, a pale ale called 10 Bitter Years, which she said “is an homage to the 10 bitter years we struggled to stay open as a brewery before craft beer really became popular.”

“(Craft brewing is) an economic success story, it’s a job creation success story, it’s great for our farmers because the largest single purchasers of our hops in this province are our craft breweries as well.

“It allows entrepreneurs to demonstrate their creativity and to produce unique substances that we have the privilege and opportunity, and I would say responsibility, to imbibe.”

Across the city

Job creation Mill Street Brewery cofounder and OCB Week co-chair Steve Abrams Ontario’s craft brewing industry has become a strong source of employment in the province, creating 500 new jobs over the past decade.

The week gives smaller breweries a chance to showcase their wares to the greater public. Sonja North of the Etobicoke-

based Black Oak Brewing Company said the event brings craft brewers together in a spirit of collaboration.

“It’s a really great time for us to be able to join with other breweries and other licensees,” she said.

“It makes it feel more like

a tight community.”

North noted the growth of the industry has helped make companies like Black Oak more viable after years

Survey finds Chinese immigrants shortchanged

“

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com It’s common for Mandarinspeaking recent immigrants in Toronto to be paid less than Ontario’s minimum wage or to be denied overtime pay and paid vacations employers owe them, a community group’s survey has found.

Released Saturday, June 8, the survey of 300 workers this year says 20 per cent said they were being paid less than $10.25 an hour, the legal minimum.

Only about half (53 per cent) said they receive paid public holidays, “which indicates that many employers within Toronto’s boundaries are blatantly breaking the law,” the Chinese Canadian National Council (CCNC) Toronto Chapter said in a report, One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.

The group’s research, partly funded by the city, also found 77 per cent of newcomers who arrived from China less than

“

We know the problem there, but most importantly what do we do about it?

Language was a major barrier to making formal complaints and understanding rights and safety.

– Beixi Liu

seven years ago never get extra pay for overtime, even though it’s mandatory after 44 hours are worked in a week.

CCNC Toronto concluded such workers were either unaware overtime pay was the law or have been intimidated into accepting they’ll receive none.

The report also says 55 per cent of those surveyed don’t receive paid vacation time off or vacation pay, news the group called “extremely concerning.”

Ontario’s Employment Standards Act may have been strengthened in 2009, but enforcement is “very weak” so the law doesn’t really protect workers, Beixi Liu of the advocacy group Workers’ Action Centre told a press confer-

ence at the Scarborough Civic Centre.

“We know the problem there, but most importantly what do we do about it?” said Liu, who charged most companies caught breaking the act face only mediation, or more rarely, a small fine.

Knowing this makes them confident about breaking the law, he said, adding the province won’t do anything to

change this “if we don’t push them.”

Tommy Zheng, the survey’s co-ordinator, said recent immigrants are more likely to accept lower wage jobs, unsafe conditions and abuse.

CCNC Toronto recruited 30 volunteer researchers the group felt could benefit from workshops on Ontario’s employment laws, before asking workers 33 questions

in English and Chinese, online or in face to face interviews, between Februar y and April.

Zheng said 70 per cent didn’t know where to seek help for unfair treatment.

‘Major barrier’ “Language was a major barrier to making formal complaints and understanding rights and safety,” he said, agreeing such experiences might be found in other immigrant communities and that “older immigrants sort of take advantage of newer immigrants” by paying them less.

A quarter of the survey respondents worked 44 to

60 hours a week, and 14 per cent held two jobs.

It’s now illegal for temporary employment agencies recruiting in Ontario to ask workers for a fee in return for a job, but a quarter (24 per cent) of those surveyed paid a fee anyway.

More than a third (38 per cent) of those who did said they paid between $100 and $250.

One third also said they had been injured on the job during their time in Canada.

Since 2011, the ministry has operated an Employment Standards Information Centre phone line (1-800-531-5551) in 23 languages, from Arabic to Vietnamese, and its website (www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/) has fact sheets on employment law translated into languages including traditional and simplified Chinese.
