Quickly create and distribute quality flyers at an exceptional price.

Blue Flags will once again be flying at eight of Toronto’s beaches this summer.

This year’s recipients include Bluffer’s Park, Centre Island, Cherry, Gibraltar Point, Hanlan’s Point, Kew-Balmy, Ward’s Island and Woodbine beaches.

In order to sport the prestigious eco symbol, beaches and marinas must meet rigorous environmental education, water quality, environmental management and safety and services criteria.

“A Blue Flag symbolizes that a beach or marina is clean, swimmable and meets high safety and environmental standards,” said Brett Tryon,

Environmental Defence’s Blue Flag program manager in a May 20 release. “ When you see a Blue Flag flying, you know you are at a world-class beach or marina.”

The designation is only valid for one season and must be reassessed annually.

The Blue Flag program, which originated in France in 1985, is managed internationally by Denmark’s Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), a not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization consisting of member organizations representing 68 countries >>>TORONTO, page 8

Bike lane re-opening averts ‘very dangerous situation’ JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Just in time for Bike Month, the bike lane on Dundas Street East from Pape to Carlaw avenues in Leslieville has re-opened to cyclists.

Initially, the plan was for the lane to be off-limits for a year while Streetcar Developments staged the construction of two condominium projects at 1220 Dundas St. E. and 345 Carlaw Ave. However, the busy cycling route was becoming a safety

concern and an alternative situation needed to be considered, Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher said on Tuesday.

“It was a very dangerous situation, actually,” she said.

“Dundas is such an important thoroughfare for cyclists.”

This led to a site visit as well as several meetings with Ward30Bikes (the local cycling advocacy group), city staff and the developer.

A successful motion was also made at Toronto and East York Community Council. >>>PARKING, page 10

Riverdale boy visits with Odysseo’s equine stars JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

T

en-year-old Riverdale resident Dylan Wood had no qualms about missing French class to hang out in the port lands with some of the twoand four-legged stars of Cavalia’s Odysseo show.

The Grade 4 student from Withrow Avenue Junior Public School was among a group of six blind or partially sighted children ages 8 to 14 taking part in a group outing offered by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) during Vision Health Month, a national awareness campaign designed to educate Canadians about their vision health and eliminate avoidable sight loss across the country.

“It’s fun seeing all the horses.

You don’t get to do this every day,” Dylan said during the interactive tour Thursday afternoon, May 21.

“It’s fun being here.”

Dylan, who as an unborn baby had an infection called toxoplasmosis and is legally blind, said he especially enjoyed feeding the horses as well as feeling their manes and soft coats.

Those in attendance also got to check out different types of saddles, reins and harnesses as well as try their hand at grooming the horses.

African drummers/acrobats from the show were also on hand to do some hands-on drumming with the kids before riders circled them running with their horses at different tempos in the practice ring.

The afternoon concluded with popcorn and cookies in the VIP tent.

“Any of these hands-on experiences are great for the kids,” said Jonathan Wood, who came by at the end of the outing to pick up his son, Dylan.

“Anything hands on – music, social, cultural – it’s all good.”

Sue Marsh-Woods, the CNIB’s regional manager of service and operations, said the organization

does its best to cater outings that will maximize their clients’ abilities as well as help them develop

stronger social skills and build their self-confidence.

“If they were to come to the show (without this interactive tour) they wouldn’t appreciate it as much,” she said.

Marsh-Woods went on to say those who have taken part in the tour now have a better understanding of the production and would certainly get more out of it.

“This is how they have to experience the world. They don’t just see it by looking. They have to experience it by touching, smelling and feeling,” she said.

The CNIB, which provides community-based support, knowledge and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills and opportunities to participate in life, runs a range of programs and services for clients of all ages.

Pan Am Torch comes to town

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

Write us

G

et ready Toronto, the Pan Am Games Torch Relay is coming to town starting this Saturday.

The flame was lit Monday in Mexico and is now on its way to Toronto. It splashes down with a special arrival ceremony celebration at the city’s harbourfront featuring a float plane, canoe and a ‘mystery’ first torch runner.

For more details on this weekend’s plans for the torch, see our feature story on page 20.

The torch relay goes from May 30 to July 10, and will touch Canadian communities from the Atlantic to the Pacific. More than 130 communities will be visited during the 41-day torch relay, with some 3,000 runners taking part.

For local residents, most of the excitement will begin July 4 in the final days leadour view ing up to the opening ceremonies of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am on July 10.

Relay to have Games After its visit to the harbourhuge impact front this Saturday, the torch will be carried to the Distillery in Ontario District by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield for a community celebration before heading out across Canada.

During its journey, the torch will visit Richmond, B.C.; Calgary, Alberta, during the Stampede; Winnipeg, Manitoba, where Canada last hosted the Pan Am Games in 1999; and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

It’s in Ontario, though, where the torch relay will have the biggest impact. Virtually every corner of the province will be visited, with community celebrations planned at numerous locations.

As host city, Toronto will have a number of celebrations – with events planned specifically for Scarborough, North York, and Etobicoke in early July.

On June 28, the torch will be in the city for the annual Pride Parade.

Also, a unique event is set for July 4 at the Prince Edward Viaduct (also known as the Bloor Viaduct).

The viaduct will be lit up to create a multicoloured effect on the Luminous Veil, which encases the famous bridge.

Community groups including the Danforth BIA, which has incorporated its annual Thrill of the Grill event into the celebration, will be on the bridge to welcome the torch and the relay runners. Metroland Media Toronto will also be a big part of that celebration as we are hosting games and events for kids on the viaduct.

The status of symbolism at city hall Symbolism counts for a lot in Toronto politics: certainly for more than it should.

The Gardiner Expressway, which is really just a strip of elevated concrete and asphalt used by a few of Toronto’s many commuters, is also a symbolic battleground for suburban motorists and downtown pedestrians.

Next month at council, that potent symbolism will go up against measly facts and mere expert opinion and more than likely end in council spending an extra $500 million to build new elevated ramps from the Gardiner to the Don Valley Parkway.

Such is how it goes when councillors play to their home crowd: from a cynically political perspective, everyone on council will be a winner no matter the outcome.

Of course, not all political symbolism at city hall is a slam dunk.

david nickle the city Some of these debates can be treacherous ones indeed – and some of them are very small.

On Tuesday, Mayor John Tory’s generally right-ofcentre executive committee spent a good portion of a short meeting dancing around a symbolic leghold trap set by generally left-of-centre councillors Mike Layton and Glenn De Baeremaeker.

The two had put forward a member’s motion to have council establish an “environmental bill of rights.”

The motion contains many “rights” that very few voters would want to pass up: a right to breathe and drink clean air and water and eat safe food; access to nature; to know about pollutants and the right to take part in decision-making.

It also lays responsibil-

ity on council to promote these rights, and by the by points to matters of policy that also have great symbolic value for political brands.

Council would have to get behind cycling, walking and transit as a preferred way to get around.

No fools, the committee members were not having any of it.

Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong made it clear his constituents weren’t fond of pedestrian scrambles and other things they believed promoted congestion.

Councillor David Shiner suggested his elderly constituents wouldn’t take kindly to being encouraged to walk and bicycle.

But they weren’t about to vote it down - because oh, the symbolism of that would have been an embarrassment. Other municipalities – more than 50 of them according to Layton – had passed a simi-

lar bill of rights already.

Sent it back So the committee did the sensible thing, and sent it off to the interim city manager for a report to come back late in the fall.

Layton was disappointed at that prospect and, laying cards on the table, expressed hope it could come before the federal election.

Because after all, it would be really something if Canada’s largest city could make it clear that its policies and practices were all aimed toward preserving the environment, just as Torontonians were set to join their fellow Canadians passing judgement on the environmentally dodgy Conservative government record. Now that would be what you would call symbolic.

East Side Players’ Quartet a slice of life

Celebrating his first anniversary.

Conditions may apply.

Coming to terms with aging and the ever-evolving changes that go along with it can be challenging, especially when you are living in a retirement residence surrounded by people like you.

In East Side Players final show of the season, Quartet

by Ronald Harwood, four seniors share their reality with humour and honesty in a realistic show about living your golden years with a combination of grace and frustration, denial and acceptance.

Set in the beautifully constructed home for retired singers and musicians somewhere in England, three former opera stars, Cissy (Malorie Mandolidis) Wilf (Daryn DeWalt) and Reggie (Robert Ouellette) pass their days reading, enjoying the garden and socializing (and Wilf also makes inappropriate sexual jokes to anyone who will listen).

It’s clear they have a history, and it doesn’t take long to hear

them reliving their glory days, comparing them to the reality they face now. Regardless, the trio seem content, that is, until a new arrival comes to live at the home; the fourth person in their former opera quartet, and Reggie’s ex-wife, Jean (Jane Hunter). This turns Reggie upside-down, despite the divorce being more than 30 years ago.

Each year at the home they celebrate the birthday of the late great composer, Giuseppe Verdi, with a gala.

The quartet have been asked to sing their famous Rigoletto for the gala finale, and despite it being decades since they have appeared on stage, Cissy, Wilf and Reggie think it’s a great idea.

Jean, however, needs some convincing due to severe insecurities about her current life, versus her former self.

This show is a wonderful slice-of-life story that’s relatable regardless of what stage of life you’re trying to navigate. The characters’ attitudes and feelings are universal, as change inevitably affects us

all, and continues to do so throughout our lives.

Mandolidis gives a flawless, funny and heartfelt performance in her role as Cissy. She makes her character likeable, with a touch of vulnerability, and, despite her situation, she’s positive.

Hunter portrays Jean in a realist and honest way, with the right combination of wit and bitterness that everyone feels at points in their lives when their former life overshadows today’s reality.

The tension and dynamic between her and Ouellette as Reggie are some of the most honest in the play. Ouellette plays Reggie amazingly well, his poise and sense of humour, combined with his compassion, adds depth and humour to the show.

Quartet runs from May 28 to 31 and June 3 to 6 at 8 p.m. at the Papermill Theatre, 67 Pottery Rd.

BEACH MIRROR | Thursday, May 28, 2015 |

While the bright blue canoe outside Little India’s Flying Pony Café and Gallery may not be hitting the waters of Lake Ontario any time soon, it is serving a number of very important roles, notably attracting Monarch butterflies and bees.

Bursting with native plants, the Community Canoe Project also aims to engage people in interactions with wetland plants and animals.

Other goals of the initiative, which is part of the David Suzuki Foundation, are to bring awareness to the lost rivers of Toronto, continue the native plants that contributed to the everyday lives of Torontonians past and present, and provide a suitable habitat and food source for native pollinators such as the brown-belted bumble bee.

The canoe planter outside the artist-run café and gallery at 1481 Gerrard St. E., just

west of Coxwell Avenue, is the first of its kind in the city’s east end.

A crew of enthusiastic rangers took part in a local planting event last Friday.

The Homegrown National Park Project is powered by a Homegrown Park Rangers

Email jroberts@davidsuzuki.org if you have a canoe ready for retirement to donate or visit www.davidsuzuki. org/homegrown for more details.

Top 5 Tips For Caregivers The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provides a variety of supports to those who are transitioning from hospital to home, and to those who need support to remain in their homes. The province of Ontario spends only approximately $2.1 billion on home-based health care (Ontario Home Care Association, 2014), however, this figure does not take into account the considerable support and assistance that is provided by informal caregivers.

These people include family members, friends, and neighbours, all of whom are often faced with feelings of stress and are overwhelmed while caring for their loved ones.

Fortunately, there are a few simple things that can help alleviate the stress that may be felt by those who are providing caregiving support in the home. Here are five suggestions for caregivers to make daily activities a little bit easier: 1) Accept Your Feelings – It’s normal for caregivers to have a range of feelings related to their roles. Anger, frustration, stress and anxiety are common emotions that occur when one is the primary caregiver for an elderly or ill loved one.

Accept your feelings as normal and remember

that you’re not alone.

2) Have an outlet – Join a support group of other caregivers or speak regularly to a close family member or friend who will provide you with a sounding board for your emotions surrounding caregiving. Just knowing that someone is there to listen can make a world of difference.

3) Ask for help – Support from others for even the simplest things can go a long way when coping and providing caregiver support to a loved one. Oftentimes, asking for help can result in enough stress-relief to give you the emotional energy to keep going.

4) Take care of yourself – You’re no good to your loved one if you are not feeling up to par. Be sure to get plenty of rest, eat well and get out of the house whenever you can.

5) Connect With the Community – Be sure to look into community resources that can provide additional help and resources as you continue to support your loved one.

For more information about supports and community services for seniors, contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888 or visit www.healthcareathome.ca.

Balmy Beach rugby celebrates 60th anniversary win The Balmy Beach rugby club celebrated its 60th anniversary with a full day of rugby at nearby Birchmount Stadium in southeast Scarborough last Saturday with five club teams in action plus an exhibition game by the provincial men’s Ontario Blues to cap it off.

And fans who were ferried to the field by shuttle bus got to enjoy a lot of winning, with five out of six wins.

The Ontario Blues, with three Balmy Beach players in the fold – Hank McQueen,Scott Dunham and Dan Moor – won their international friendly 43-31 over American Rugby Premiership side New York Old Blue. The Blues senior side will now spend the next four weeks training, before kicking off their Canadian Rugby Championship season against the Atlantic Rock on June 28 in Calgary.

Meanwhile, Balmy Beach’s top men’s team are off to a good start in defence of their McCormick Cup provincial club championship title, winning their second in a row to start the new season 33-17 over

pets the Oakville Crusaders.

Also winning, rather handily, were the men’s second and third teams and the women’s team. The club’s youth academy team, playing this season in the Toronto Rugby Union’s top division, lost 29-22 to the Saracens.

Balmy Beach are on a short road trip this Saturday, May 30 taking on cross-city rival Toronto Scottish at nearby Fletcher’s Fields in Markham.

It’s a rematch of last year’s McCormick Cup final at Fletcher’s Fields which Balmy Beach won 27-22.

It marked their 14th provincial title and first since 2011 when they put together a rare

perfect season.

Balmy Beach are back home June 6 hosting the Brantford Harlequins at their regular field at Tubs and Gee Gage Rugby Field, located at the corner of Coxwell and Eastern Avenues within Ashbridge’s Bay Park.

The top premiership teams close out the day at 3 p.m.

The club was also proud to have one of its youth members Lucas Rumball serve as captain of Canada’s U-20 team which on Sunday made it to the final game of the U-20 World Rugby Trophy in Portugal, losing 49-24 to Georgia.

Many events are being planned around the Torch Relay, including The Thrill of the Grill Saturday, July 4 on the Prince Edward Viaduct.

The Danforth BIA will host the sixth annual event fundraiser from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the east end of the viaduct, where the Luminous Veil – the suicide barrier rods – will be lit for the first time.

“We usually hold this event at Broadview and Chester, but because the bridge will be lit, we moved it to there,” said Jennifer Jones, vice-chair of the BIA, adding the top half of the bridge will remain permanently lit.

The Thrill of the Grill, co-hosted by The Food Ne t w o r k’s c h e f Ly n n Crawford and Tommy Smyth of HGTV’s Sarah 101, will feature a handful of chefs serving up edibles including ribs, corn, and beer.

“I hope this is the start of many events on the bridge,” said Jones, adding the BIA was instrumental with the initial funding and advocating for the Luminous Veil and lighting.

As for being part of Pan Am Games celebrations, she said residents might be slow to warm to the sporting event, but once it arrives it will be fully embraced.

“Any city that is hosting an event like this has a chance to really turn the dial on the city up a notch.”
