The Red Door Family Shelter is marking another important milestone in its journey towards a new permanent home in Leslieville.

On Tuesday evening, more than 60 area residents as well as local politicians from all three levels of government attended an open house to show their support, learn more about, and comment on the proposed interim home for the Red Door in the Little India neighbourhood.

The City of Toronto has recently leased a newlyrenovated building at 1430 Gerrard St. E., just west of Coxwell Avenue, for a five-year term to house the shelter for homeless families until a new 20,000-square-foot, 96-bed permanent shelter at 875 Queen St. E. is built.

The plan is for 90 Red Door clients to occupy 22 residential units at 1430 Gerrard St. E., which in an earlier incarnation was home to the 750-seat Naaz Theatre. The lease also includes the use of a main floor commercial space for administration and programming.

Toronto City Council must still approve Red Door’s move >>>SHELTER, page 10

APPLIED VS. ACADEMIC:

A look at how student streaming and credit caps are affecting how young people plan for their future TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com

I

t has been 13 years since Ontario eliminated its official 13th year of school – then known as OAC – amid a controversial curriculum change that was supposed to end student streaming.

The official 13th year, called Grade 13 until the 1980s when it was replaced by OAC (Ontario Academic Credit), was phased out in 2003 by the Progressive Conservative government.

But could another change made when OAC was eliminated – introducing applied and academic course options – be making it hard for students to finish in four years with the credits they need to succeed and decreasing the likelihood some students will excel, while effectively continuing to stream students?

Applied and academic credits are meant to be “mix and match,” but most students take courses in one or the other.

Academic credits are typically required for university.

“In a lot of cases, students pick applied because they think it will be easier, and then ironically they are much less likely to be successful in the applied stream. There’s so much evidence that says it’s a bad idea to divide kids, particularly in that first grade of high school.

It limits choices, it closes doors, it sometimes sets kids up for failure,” said Annie Kidder, founder and executive director of advocacy group People for Education. “There are kids who either aren’t graduating, or who are getting to Grade 12 and realizing that there are doors that are already closed to them that got closed when they made

Grade 12 students work independently during teacher Hugh Tran's math class at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School. These students, if they wish, can return for a fifth year of high school, but the province will only fund up to 34 credits.

that choice in Grade 8.”

The courses replaced vocational, college and university streams, and are meant to teach the same curriculum in different ways. Academic courses study essential and related concepts with a theoretical approach, while applied teach essential concepts in a more practical, hands-on way.

According to Ontar io’s Education Quality and Accountability Office, of students who demonstrate strong math skills in grades 3 and 6, those who take applied math courses in high school are less likely to continue earning high marks. Lowered expectations, and in turn, lowered effort, for kids in applied courses has been floated by education experts as one potential cause for the disparities.

In math, 83 per cent of Ontario Grade 9 students in aca-

demic courses met or exceeded the provincial standard this year, while only 45 per cent of applied students hit the mark. In English, 92 per cent of Grade 10 students successfully completed this year’s Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, while only 47 per cent of applied students were successful.

A study by the Toronto District School Board, Ontario’s largest school board, suggests 60 per cent of students who take applied courses in Grade 9 don’t graduate within five years, compared to 14 per cent of those who choose academic.

It takes 30 credits to graduate high school. A 34-credit threshold was introduced by the provincial Liberals in 2013.

After 34 credits, the government decreases funding to school boards for most students.

Students wanting to earn more than 34 credits must get approval

from their board, and may have to take courses through continuing education.

“Over a decade ago, Ontarians moved to four years of high school, but many students are still taking that additional fifth year, even after graduating,” said a government statement at the time. “We need to shift the culture in our schools and encourage students to graduate and move on to the next stage in their lives after four years.”

Needing to replace applied credits with academic or raise marks in a completed course, or switching career paths and needing different courses, to get to post-secondary programs, can leave students wanting more than 34 credits.

“I think we need to allow for the vast amount of change that happens to young people,” Kidder said. “Obviously it can’t be unlimited and there have to

be boundaries in this, but the problem always with capping anything is are there people who lose from that, and I think in this case 34 may be too low.”

Education Minister Mitzie Hunter and Education Critic Patrick Brown declined to be interviewed for this article, after weeks of correspondence with their representatives, with Hunter citing a lack of availability.

“When selecting their courses in Grades 9 and 10, students are not expected to make binding decisions about a particular educational or career pathway,” said Ministry of Education spokesperson Heather Irwin. “However, they should try to ensure that they have the prerequisites required for future courses they plan to take. Schools must make provisions to allow students to make changes in direction and must clearly describe these provisions in their school program/ course calendar.”

But the provisions, which can include a half-credit summer course, seem to present a barrier. During the 2014-2015 school year, only three per cent of schools reported students often transfer from applied to academic courses, while 43 per cent reported transfers happen never or not very often, according to a People for Education study.

D u r i n g a g ov e r n m e n t announcement about child care Friday, Sept. 23, Metroland Media Central reporter Cynthia Reason asked Hunter if Ontario would consider reviewing the academic and applied separations in Grade 9. Hunter said the ministry is consulting with school boards, some of which, she noted, have requested the separations be eliminated.

hen we’re young we make a lot of mistakes - big ones, little ones, and some that can be life altering.

Unprotected sex can lead to unwanted pregnancy or disease. Drug and alcohol abuse can do permanent harm to a growing body and lead to life-long addiction.

These are human mistakes, and as much as we might wish, they are impossible to guard against, particularly for young people whose judgement may not yet be refined. Surely, we should not design a school system that also provides risks of permanent harm to still-unwise young people who make a bad choice in setting their academic course.

The curriculum change in 2003 - which followed the end of the Ontario Academic Our VieW Credit - was intended to end student streaming with the addition of applied and academic learning, Opportunities but as one education advocate this change has effectively hindered with says, laid a trap for students.

The elimination of a fifth year curriculum of high school, along with a cap change on credits the province will fund (34 is the maximum unless the board approves it), essentially ties the hands of a student trying to get ahead. If a student decides early on to eschew academic courses for the apparently easier applied courses, upgrading later on may be hindered by bureaucracy.

As Annie Kidder, founder and executive director of advocacy group People for Education, said in Metroland Media’s feature article on this issue “we need to allow for the vast amount of change that happens to young people”.

The group’s report ‘Applied or Academic: High Impact Decisions for Ontario Students’ surveyed Ontario schools and found only 20 per cent of schools with grades 7 and 8 reported having a guidance counsellor on staff, and most of those positions were part-time.

If a student in Grade 8 doesn’t have the maturity to envision their life after four years, then provisions need to be put in place to give these young minds the right support, at the right time.

The Ministry of Education has heard from several boards wanting the applied and academic streams to be scrapped in Grade 9, to give kids a level playing field in their first year, then they can decide how to move forward. It would be a mistake to take options and opportunity away from students just as they’re getting started.

column

Trump tape recalls Rob Ford’s video woes The U.S. presidential election – particularly, the rise of its Republican standardbearer – has felt a bit like a funhouse mirror for many of us watching in Toronto.

Donald Trump, with his nativist populism, his “plainspokenness,” which frankly came across more as ugliness and bigotry but worked more like Teflon... well, it was something that we’d seen before here, first in 2010 when the late Rob Ford won the mayoralty against more qualified candidates and again in 2014 when his brother Doug Ford came close to doing the same thing.

Of course it’s not the same thing. Neither of the Ford brothers were even half as incoherent as Trump has been, and neither made such a direct pitch to the so-called Alt-Right white supremacist crowd. But the trajectory, the ability to gather support to unlikely levels, had some similarities.

And last week, another similarity emerged: the calamitous revelation, on

david nickle the city tape, of behaviour that to most people is beyond the pale.

For Trump, that came in the leaked Access Hollywood tape, in which Trump boasts to then-host Billy Bush of his ability to use fame to get away with what amounts to sexual assault on women he finds attractive. For Rob Ford, it came in the form of a series of recordings: the long-denied video in which he smoked crack; a drunken video of a walk on the Danforth; a drunken rant at an Etobicoke restaurant disparaging then Toronto police chief Bill Blair; and, maybe most damningly, a lewd and drunken rant about Karen Stintz, the Toronto Councillor and former TTC Chair who was running against him for the mayoralty.

It looks at this point as though the 11-year-old tape of Trump bragging about

being able to grab women by the genitals has become a deal-breaker, at least with his nominal Republican allies and most likely with the electorate. It is worth remembering, however, that while Ford’s many drug-andalcohol-fuelled videos did isolate him from his allies on council, it did no such thing with the electorate.

Ford didn’t even have to appear especially contrite in order to reclaim the love of the so-called Ford Nation portion of the electorate.

When he returned from rehab, his apology for his behaviour morphed halfway through into a stump speech – something that Trump mirrored in his own apology the Saturday morning after the tape appeared, when he characterized the tape as locker-room talk and then dismissed it as a distraction from his message.

We’ll never know whether Rob Ford could have won a second term as mayor after the self-inflicted damage of his first term – his cancer

diagnosis saw to that. But his brother Doug’s campaign made John Tory’s election to the mayoralty in 2014 a near thing, despite Doug’s own very Trump-like campaign gaffes.

The election of Rob Ford’s nephew Michael, in the summer byelection for his old Ward 2 seat, was never really a question.

It’s hard to say whether Donald Trump will, with weeks still to go in the campaign, be able to rally in the United States in the same way that the Fords had been able to in Toronto. Probably he won’t.

But whether he does or not, it’s a sure bet that the sizeable minority of voters who’ve held tight with Donald won’t let a little tape, no matter how vile its contents, sway their loyalty to the Trumps. Like Ford Nation here in Toronto, they’re not going anywhere.

Leslieville is getting an obelisk in Carlaw-Dundas triangle Joanna Lavoie jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Leslieville will soon be getting a unique public art feature: a 9.2-metre tall obelisk by internationallyacclaimed Toronto artist/ designer Pierre Poussin.

The iconic piece, which will be placed in the CarlawDundas triangle, a Cityowned open space west of Carlaw Avenue, north of Dundas Street East, and south of Dickens Street, be will be the centerpiece of the Carlaw + Dundas Community Initiative project.

A design competition was recently held to select a Signature Marker, a vertical streetscape element that can be seen from all directions and embodies the industrial character and vibrancy of the district.

An eight-member, City of Toronto-appointed jury c h o s e Po u s s i n’s “Br i c k Obelisk” design. The selection panel consisted of

Submitted image

A 9.2-metre tall obelisk created by internationally-acclaimed Toronto artist/designer Pierre Poussin has been selected to be the centerpiece of the Carlaw + Dundas Community Initiative project in Leslieville.

representatives from the community, City staff, and the project consulting team.

“The jury was captivated

by Pierre’s creativity and thoughtful expression of the site,” said jury chair Catherine Williams, a public art consultant, in an Oct. 6

release.

“We had excellent submissions but Pierre’s was a clear winner and we look forward to seeing the final design and construction.”

Poussin’s design consists of an intricately patterned monument made of lasercut, weathered steel etched with local maps from different time periods.

Like the triangular park it will soon call home, the marker is a three-sided pyramid. Its shape aims to point to the smokestacks of the industrial period of the neighbourhood.

The plan is to light the obelisk from the inside with LED lights.

Installation is set for 2018 after environmental remediation is completed at this site.

“This is an exciting moment for the Carlaw and Dundas neighbourhood, our ward and the city,” Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher said in the release.

“Pierre Poussin’s obelisk marker will become an iconic entrance feature to the neighbourhood. His wonderful design speaks to the industrial character and vibrancy of this neighbourhood and also our great city.”

Poussin’s work, which is currently on display at Toronto’s Underpass Park, has been featured at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic G a m e s. A g r a d u a t e o f the furniture design program at Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, he has also worked with the Peace Bridge Authority of Fort Erie and Buffalo, Princeton University and the Walt Disney Corporation among others.

Back in 2014, Toronto City Council approved the $750,000 Carlaw + Dundas Community Initiative project, which is being managed

by City Planning, Parks, Forestry and Recreation,

Transportation Services, and consultants Schollen and Company. It will involve a number of public realm improvements throughout the community including in Jimmie Simpson Park, Badgerow Parkette, on Boston Avenue, and the Carlaw-Dundas triangle.

Final design and construction is set to begin next year and is expected to be completed in 2018.

“This project is a good example of various City divisions and community stakeholders working together to improve our common grounds,” Ward 35 Councillor Michelle Holland, the chair of the Parks and Environment Committee, said in the communiqué.

Mo re d e t a i l s o n t h e Signature Marker and surrounding landscape design will be presented at an open house in November.

Shelter expects to call Gerrard Street East home for at least two years >>>from page 1 to this temporary location.

The shelter expects to call Gerrard Street East home for two to three years starting in early December.

Gurnam Multani, the owner of 1430 Gerrard St. E., said he’s been in discussions with the city for just over a

year to lease his building to the Red Door. A final agreement was reached just a few weeks ago.

“I’m happy to help the Red Door. I’m very happy to give this place to the Red Door,” he told The Mirror at the open house.

Door’s Executive Director Bernnitta Hawkins said they’re looking “quite looking forward” to moving to their interim home on Gerrard Street East.

“We’ve had a warm outpouring of support from the community. It’s been very wonderful,” she said, adding so far the response to the news of the shelter’s short-term move eastward has been positive.

Wa r d 3 0 C o u n c i l l o r Paula Fletcher expressed her appreciation to those living in the Gerrard-Coxwell area for making their new neighbours feel at home.

“I want to thank everyone in this community for the warm welcome here,” she said, urging everyone to offer a “big smile of welcome” to Red Door residents.

Fletcher, who said it’s her dream to see the city enter into an agreement to provide subsidized housing for the shelter’s former residents at 1430 Gerrard St. E., said it has been a “really incred-

ible to watch the Red Door working with the city and the community” to remain in the city’s east end.

“

This was a community fight. We can’t let a condo take on a shelter, that’s what we decided, and now we have them both.

– Paula Fletcher, Ward 30 Councillor

“This was a community fight. We can’t let a condo take on a shelter, that’s what we decided, and now we have them both,” she said, crediting Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon for her hard work Up until two years ago, The Red Door family Shelter faced an uncertain future as the property that houses its long-time home at 875 Queen St. E. fell into receivership after a complex real

estate deal involving a private company.

Back in 2010, the nonprofit had hoped to buy the property outright from the United Church of Canada but was unable to secure government funding.

Instead, an agreement was reached in June 2011 to purchase the site at a “preferred” rate of $4.25 million with the promise of a $6-million family shelter in its redevelopment.

Those plans changed in early 2013 when The Red Door and the company a g re e d t o re l o c a t e t h e family shelter to a former Salvation Army residence for teen moms at 450 Pape Ave. Unfortunately, financing for that deal fell through some months later and The Red Door, which contributed $50,000 to that endeavour, learned that property had also gone into receivership.

On May 22, 2014, Fletcher put forth a motion at the Community Development

and Recreation Committee meeting calling on the City to commit to work towards a solution for Red Door. Less than a month later, Toronto city Council unanimously voted in favour of working to help secure the shelter’s long-term future.

In early 2015, Harhay Developments purchased 875 Queen St. E. and after much rallying from the community agreed to incorporate a shelter into its 118-unit condominium development.

The plan is for the fourstorey shelter, which will be built and owned by the City of Toronto, to be leased back to the Red Door for $1 a year.

The shelter’s next major hurdle is the $3 million it must still raise to outfit its future home so it can continue to meet the needs of the homeless families it serves.

myths of medical cannabis

NEXT WEEK!

For a year and a half after being diagnosed with herniated discs in her neck and spine that prevented her from walking, Jane Bradford relied on a mix of prescription opiates to reduce her pain.

Given their side effects Bradford was constantly groggy and had concerns about longterm health impacts of opioid use - she was thrilled when another option came along.

Bradford is now one of a growing number of people across Canada who rely on medical cannabis to help relieve pain and deal with other medical conditions, and while she is still trying to find the perfect type and dosage, she said the difference between opiates and cannabis are night and day.

“I need to think clearly at work, and using (medical cannabis) I don’t feel nearly as

Dr. Danial Schecter

groggy or dopey as I would feel under opioids,” she said.

She currently takes drops of cannabis oil, which has helped her to stop using four opioids. Such experiences are not uncommon, said Dr. Danial Schecter of the Cannabinoid Medical Clinic.

Medical cannabis - a term he prefers over the more common “medical marijuana” because of the stigma associated with the latter - has been legal in Canada since 2001, with physicians gaining the power to prescribe it in 2013.

There are hundreds of

strains available in various forms. The strains vary based largely on their ratio of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidol (CBD).

“THC is what causes psychoactivity, so there’s a lot of it in cannabis used for recreational purposes, but it also has medicinal properties,” Schecter said.

Schecter hopes to see the stigma surrounding medical cannabis wiped out as people learn more about it as a means of relieving pain and coping with other conditions.

Schecter and Bradford will join a panel of experts on the subject of medical cannabis at a Medical Marijuana Information Session hosted by Metroland Media Toronto and sponsored by CanniMed. The free event takes place on Oct. 19 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Rd. For more info, visit www.insidetoronto. com/MedicalMarijuana.
