oodGreen Community Services is recognizing two leaders, the late Rima Zavys and Jack Layton, for their contributions to the city’s east end by naming one of its buildings and the program space in another location in their honour. “They both, in their own ways, played very significant roles in the community,” said Brian Smith, WoodGreen’s president and CEO, during a recent interview. “We want to recognize their contributions to the east end.” At its 75th annual general meeting held Sept. 27, the east-end social service agency announced it plans to name the program room at its First Step to Home residence, located in the former New Edwin Hotel (650 Queen St. E.), Rima’s Place in honour of Zavys. Zavys served in a range of roles at the organization from manager of housing to manager of neighbourhood development and eventually director of that department where she developed its housing help and homelessness program until her death of breast cancer Jan. 17 at the age of 45. “(Rima) was a tremendous advocate for homelessness and was a driving force around the issue of bedbugs. She really brought that to the forefront,” said Smith, adding a photo of the First Step to Home building was presented to Zavys’ husband and children during last week’s annual general meeting. Further, Smith said it was also important for WoodGreen to honour Zavys’ work at the east-end social service agency. Also at the annual general meeting, WoodGreen said its 170-unit affordable housing complex for seniors at 1070 Queen St. E. at Pape Avenue would be named Jack Layton Seniors Housing in honour of the >>>CEREMONIES, page 8
