DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com “It’s a simple thing, right?” That’s Nick Kouvalis – the marketing and campaign manager who helped Rob Ford win the mayor’s race in 2010 – on the trick to running a winning campaign for the top political job in Toronto, and arguably the highest-profile municipal
post in Canada. Getting that post routinely requires a war chest of more than $1 million and a commitment of all or most of a year to a political marathon that has defeated cabinet ministers, CEOs, city councillors and even former mayors as they vie for the hearts, minds and ultimately votes of almost three million Torontonians.
The finish line for the upcoming marathon campaign is a little over a year from now: Oct. 27, when Toronto voters decide on a new council and mayor. And rumors are swirling as to who is likely to run. Ford has indicated he will run, and New Democrat MPP Olivia Chow and Councillor Karen Stintz are said to be working on assembling campaign teams.
Former councillor and mayor David Miller-era budget chief David Socknacki said he is exploring a candidacy. And political observers are watching to see what radio host John Tory and councillors Shelley Carroll, Adam Vaughan and Denzil Minnan-Wong will do. At this point, Kouvalis doesn’t plan on being involved in any >>>RUNNING, page 11
In celebration of Community Health and Wellbeing Week, which runs Monday, Sept. 30 to Friday, Oct. 4, the South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of bike lanes along Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road on Oct. 1. “It’s a super popular route and that’s why we’re doing this event, there’s so many cyclists out there,” said Paul Young, a health promoter for the SRCHC. “We thought it’d be great to thank them for using the bikes and take in how the community worked to get this thing in place.” According to Melissa Trapper, coordinator of planning and communication at SRCHC, the theme for this year’s Community Health and Wellbeing Week is ‘Shift the Conversation’, which refers to the shift from a strictly medical perspective to looking at different factors that come into play to be healthy. “It’s not just about prevention, but the determinants of health, like physical activity, housing, social support, >>>CREATING, page 8

Views of Leslieville subject of one-woman art show DANIELA PITEO bsrm@insidetoronto.com It starts with a few hours of time, a palette of rich oil paints and a beautiful view of Toronto. Nancy Bennett began oil painting as a child and continued with the art form until she reached her early 20s. Now, and after a 25-year hiatus from the medium, she has picked up her brushes again and will be mounting a one-woman art show. For one day only, the Press Printing Lofts will showcase a collection of paintings with Leslieville views as well as abstract canvasses Bennett has created over the last year. The show takes place Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Her 25-year break came during a time that was filled with the responsibilities of working full time, raising a child on her own and maintaining a home. “About a year ago, I just got back into it,” Bennett said. “I moved into a condo and I have beautiful views, so I decided to start painting again.” Bennett began taking art classes as a refresher and before long, she was immersed into the art form.
requires time. “Painting is like meditating for me. It puts my brain on a completely different tract than how it normally is in my day-to-day life,” Bennett said. Time disappears

Nancy Bennett poses with one of her paintings with a Leslieville view, which she will showcase during a one-day showing at Press Printing Lofts Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.
“My inspiration is landscapes,” Bennett said. “Over the past year my work has evolved from the views off my balcony into abstract art.” It is the blue sky over the city that
often takes the role as her muse when she dabbles in the abstract form. Painting, the artist said, can offer respite from the daily grind, but it
Often, she will sit down to paint and hours will have gone by. It isn’t always easy to find the time to sit down and devote time to painting as other daily responsibilities and a full-time job often take precedent. “I need a clear three or four hours to really sit down and devout to painting,” Bennett. “It’s not something I can just do with twenty minutes here and there.” Bennett works in the field of finance, and while she cannot draw art from her regular employment, the same cannot be said about drawing numbers from art. “A lot of people say, and they are quite correct, that there is a lot of math in art and music, to get the balance and the symmetry or the lack of balance or symmetry – you are either choosing it or avoiding it.”
Recently, Bennett began experimenting with canvas sizes, moving away from smaller canvases to very large. It was a challenge, one she found daunting at first, but once she found the right tools, it was an exhilarating process that had her falling in love with oil painting all over again. “I was watching Tiny Talent Time,” Bennett said. The variety show was an exhibition of children’s talents. There were all these kids that would tap dance, or play guitar, but I remember one girl, set up and easel and began painting, and I thought, ‘I want to do that,’” said Bennett. Her mother went out and purchased all the materials, even enlisting the tutelage of a local artist. “It wasn’t easy to find an artist in Markham to teach a 10-year-old how to paint with oils,” Bennett said. “But my mother found one.” “My mother was always very supportive of my work,” Bennett said. “She would always tell me how much she loved my work.”

An egg-cellent business venture moves into Riverdale HILARY CATON bsrm@insidetoronto.com It was simple: Alysa Golden needed fresh eggs. Ones of good quality that didn’t scream animal cruelty and shout hormone injections. “I never felt good about buying eggs. Ever. And we love eggs here (at home),” Golden said. “Going to the grocery store, it was always the most frustrating experience because I’d see the free run and I knew that that wasn’t what I wanted. And then there’s organic and nowhere on the label did it say what that meant.” The idea for an egg depot came to her after having a conversation about businesses with her father. He told her the best way to start a business is to first think about what she needed and at the time, what she needed was eggs. Unsatisfied with grocery store options and lacking a carton of eggs, Golden decided to get cracking on a way to get the ones she really wanted. Not long after, she hatched a plan to create the Eggy Weggs egg depot. She looked for the company whose eggs she liked the best and in the end reached out Hope Eco Farms, a Mennonite-run farm in
Aylmer, ON. “It was a little tricky because there’s no electricity, no phones, no computers,” Golden said. “But I managed to find a contact and I went out to the farm and saw the chickens and the grading station.” She particularly liked that the chickens appeared happy and healthy on this farm. None looked like they were being facing any type of animal cruelty issues. Community-building concept “There are a lot of animals out there that are mistreated so we can eat,” Golden said. “I just would not want to put those (animals) in my mouth. Half of it is ethical and half of it is health. Those chickens are barely even chickens. They have no feathers, no claws, they’re dying on each other, they’re pooping on each other. Yuck!” She spoke with the farmers and explained her vision for the egg depot to them: a community building concept through which residents could have regular access to fresh farm eggs without having to travel hundreds of kilometres to get them. A year and a half and 200 families later, Eggy Weggs was well on its

way to becoming a neighbourhood favourite. “It’s a little community and people are really appreciative,” Golden said. She also orders duck eggs, if she gets a minimum order, which she said taste better than chicken eggs and are “phenomenal” to cook
with. “When you open them up it’s like these bright yellow balls of sunshine,” Golden said. “I could barely go back to the chicken eggs.” Fresh egg lovers can pre-order the amount of eggs they need for the week. Once ordered by Golden, the
eggs are graded on a Wednesday, delivered to Golden’s front steps on Thursday and they’re ready for pickup at either at the Lazy Daisy Café at Gerrard Street East and Coxwell Avenue or at her home on Browning Avenue. “On average I’m probably distributing about 120 dozen a week,” Golden said. “So far my biggest order was 19 cases, so about 300 dozen eggs in one week.” The business so far has been “very gratifying” and smooth sailing for Golden. No noted hiccups, unless you count the time a raccoon broke into where she kept the eggs and yolk and eggs shells were scattered throughout her kitchen. “It was such a disaster, just eggs everywhere.” She has a range of clientele from foodies to families with picky eaters. Although business seems to be moving at a steady pace, Golden isn’t thinking of expanding the egg depot to other areas any time soon. “I want to keep having fun doing it, but it does take quite a bit of my time and it’s a huge labour of love because everyone is so happy to get them and I’m happy to do it.”

hile 13 months may seem like a long time away, Toronto’s next municipal election and the race for who will be the mayor come Oct. 27, 2014 is actually coming fast. In today’s edition, our special feature looks at some of the names being talked about as possible mayoral candidates. Considering that municipal candidates can register their nomination, start campaigning (and more importantly start raising money) as of Jan. 3, the time for voters to start paying attention is now. As our story points out, running for mayor in Toronto has become a costly marathon requiring a huge amount of political and personal stamina, and about $1 million in funding. The last mayoral race in 2010, which saw more than 30 candidates vie for the seat left open by the departing David Miller, had debates virtually every day in the final six weeks of a campaign, which was ultimately won by Rob Ford. Ford will be running again, and we’ve identified some pos- our view sible challengers in our story. It’s our hope, though, that the Wanted: a race 2014 campaign will be differthat brings us ent from 2010. That campaign saw the divide between our together city’s suburban communities of Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke and the downtown core ramped up for political gain. Ford played that divide masterfully, tapping into the frustration felt by suburban residents toward Miller and his administration, which was perceived as downtown-centric. Yes, it was a winning formula, but we’d like to see a campaign focusing on bringing Torontonians together in 2014 rather than a polarization of our city’s communities. We’d also like to see a race free from party politics. We recognize Ford’s strong Conservative connections, and prior to that Miller’s association with the NDP, but it’s critical municipal politics stay free of the party system. It’s the only level of representation we have not linked to political parties and agendas that may not mesh with the needs of a specific neighbourhood or ward. While high-profile mayor’s races attract voter interest, remember choosing your councillor is a critically important decision. These are the politicians in your neighbourhood, close to your issues, and who are approachable. Also, be wary of council candidates latching onto mayoral candidates in an attempt to ride their coattails. Councillors’ first priority should be the people of the community they represent, not their political allegiance to the mayor.

Subway extension: Time for Scarborough to forgive? There will be property tax increases. We can expect congestion on the BloorDanforth subway line growing to a human traffic jam by the time trains reach Yonge and Bloor. Buses will be the booby prize for priority neighbourhoods promised stops on a light rail line. ‘Cheer’ Yet raise a cheer, Scarborough. Our government is finally building subways deep into Scarborough. Those of us who take the Scarborough Rapid Transit (RT) line to the Scarborough Town Centre will no longer face the insult of sporadic service and several escalator rides at the Kennedy station transfer to the BloorDanforth subway line. We will be able to clutch a pole from Yonge Street all the way to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road one day, where, if our
david nickle the city mayor’s luck holds out, we will one day be able to hang tight as the subway wheels around and heads back west beneath the condotower-shaded pavement, right back to Yonge Street. But let us not get ahead of ourselves, Scarborough. For now it is enough that we are building a subway – one that replaces that clanking, wheezing toy-choo-choo-train insult of a conveyance, the Scarborough RT. It is, let’s be honest, almost more of an affront than no transit at all. The new subway will be less of an affront than that, surely. If all goes according to the latest, cobbled-together plan, the three-stop subway to Sheppard will in fact be a proper apology: a $3 billion box of chocolates from neglectful old city hall, beg-
ging forgiveness for staying out late and spending all Scarborough’s hard-earned money on lattes and film festivals and parades and fancy waterfronts. So Scarborough, subway in hand, might it perhaps be time that we offered up some proper forgiveness? Poor relation Perhaps we should abandon that narrative that has so long defined Scarborough: that it is forever treated as Toronto’s poor relation, living with naught but the threadbare hand-me-downs and the withering contempt of its so-called betters. Glenn De Baeremaeker, the Scarborough Centre councillor who along with TTC Chair Karen Stintz helped push his colleagues on council to abandon the multi-stop light rail line to travel that route, suggested Monday that the subway “will bring Scarborough into the family, finally.”
So yes, forgiveness. That is what family does. Which means that when it next becomes necessary for Toronto to expand transit, and Scarborough is faced with perhaps watching its tax dollars go to building a downtown relief line – in part, to deal with the crush of riders on the newer, longer BloorDanforth line – it would not be out of place to cultivate a certain magnanimity. Should the light rail lines that are also to be built in Scarborough – along Eglinton and Sheppard Avenues – turn out to be more help than hindrance, it might be gracious to say so. Grievance, complaint, anger and envy: these are surely feelings of the past now, at least in Scarborough. Surely, the subway to Sheppard has made it all better.

INVITATION FOR APPLICATION To facilitate community input into the planning, development, and implementation of accessible transit, the Toronto Transit Commission relies on the TTC Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit (ACAT).

FACT: WE’VE OFFERED TO PAY THE SAME AMOUNT AS
PEARSON.
$.80
Amount recommended we pay per passenger
$.94
Amount we offered to pay
An independent advisory panel recommended that Billy Bishop be “taxed” the same way as Pearson Airport – on a per passenger basis, and that $.80 was a fair amount. We offered to pay the same amount as Pearson - $.94 per passenger – or 17.5% more than the recommended amount. But we don’t think it would be fair to ask our passengers to pay one penny more of tax to the City than they pay when they fly from Pearson.

Creating healthy communities goal of week-long initiative >>>from page 1 employment all those factors that impact health,” Trapper said. “That’s why we thought it’d be a good tie in with the bike lane and make it a focus.” The week-long festivities will have 108 community-governed healthcare organizations across the province focussing on shifting the conversation toward the eight domains of wellbeing: education, community vitality, democratic engagement, environment, healthy populations, leisure and culture, living standards, and time use. “It’s more about highlighting a need for a comprehensive approach to improving the health of individuals, families and communities,” Trapper said. In 1998, when a community meeting was held to discuss air quality in the area, which was a growing concern at the time, someone suggested the idea of creating a bike lane as a way to improve the air quality. “The idea took off,” Young said. At the time, a group who called themselves Dundas-Everybody’s Access to Safe Travel (EAST), really liked the idea and began a journey

The 10th anniversary of bike lanes along Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road will be celebrated Oct. 1.
that didn’t end until the fall of 2003 when the bike lanes were finally installed. “It’s not just the cyclists who like it, there was a lot of positive feedback from pedestrians and parents who have kids who had to cross the street,” Young said. But it wasn’t without protest. Community members who drove cars lost two lanes, one on each side of the road, to the bike lanes. “That was a big deal for people
wanting to get in and out of downtown by car and not interested in cycling,” Young said. “But it’s much safer now because the distance to cross the lanes is less, the traffic is less and there’s a buffer between the sidewalk and the road, which is the bike lane.” The SRCHC played a supportive role in getting the bike lanes installed by providing the space to book meetings, printed flyers and provided some technical
expertise around the benefits of bike lanes. Today, it offers a bicycle repair clinic run by Young, which is open year-round for two hours a week for low-income community members, giving them a chance to learn about bicycle repairs, safety, and maintenance. The SRCHC is a communitybased health centre that is a member of the Toronto Central Local Health Initiative Network. It offers a variety of programs from health and social services to programs for seniors and pregnant women. It also has community kitchens, language and parenting groups. In addition to its bike lane celebration, which goes from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 1 at Carlaw Avenue and Dundas Street, the SRCHC will also have an open house with tours from 3 to 7 p.m. at its 955 Queen St. E. location. “The community should come check out the programs or campaigns that are at work to improve income security,” Trapper said. “We want people to have the opportunity to see what we do and get involved.”

������� ������ NAME: Olivia Chow CURRENT POSITION: New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Trinity-Spadina BIOGRAPHY: Olivia Chow came to Canada from Hong Kong with her family in 1970. She was first elected as a school trustee in 1985, then was elected to Metropolitan Toronto Council in 1991 along with her husband, fellow New Democrat Jack Layton. The pair were elected to Toronto council at amalgamation, where Chow worked as council’s children’s advocate. Chow ran twice for the federal seat in Trinity-Spadina before joining Layton, then leader of the NDP, in Ottawa in 2005. Following Layton’s death in 2011, Chow has continued as MP for Trinity-Spadina.
NAME: Rob Ford CURRENT POSITION: Mayor of Toronto BIOGRAPHY: The son of former Conservative MPP and Etobicoke businessman Doug Ford Sr., Ford first joined Toronto council in 2000 as councillor for Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) and became mayor in 2010. Ford has made a name attacking what he sees as government waste and personally returning calls from residents. He has also been at the centre of a litany of controversies including allegations of drug use.
NAME: Shelley Carroll CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor BIOGRAPHY: A former community activist, Shelley Carroll got her start in politics as a Toronto District School Board trustee in 2000, finishing her single term there as co-chair. In 2003, she was elected to Toronto council in Ward 33 (Don Valley East). After spending her first term on council chairing the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, Carroll was picked for budget chair in 2006 and was a major ally of Miller. When he announced he wasn’t running in 2010, the longtime Liberal considered a run but decided against early in the election year. Through this term of council, Carroll has been one of Ford’s sharper critics.
NAME: Karen Stintz CURRENT POSITION: Eglinton-Lawrence councillor and chair of the Toronto Transit Commission BIOGRAPHY: Karen Stintz was elected to Toronto council in 2003 after famously answering an advertisement from a local ratepayer organization seeking a candidate to run against incumbent Ann Johnston. Stintz considered and rejected a run for mayor in 2010. Instead, she became chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, where she earned Mayor Rob Ford’s enmity opposing his Sheppard subway plan in favour of the existing light rail plan, then in 2013 championed another Scarborough subway – along the Scarborough RT line.
NAME: Adam Vaughan CURRENT POSITION: Trinity-Spadina councillor BIOGRAPHY: Son of the late CityTV journalist and politician Colin Vaughan, Adam Vaughan worked as a television journalist at CBLT and CityTV. During his tenure covering city hall, former mayor Mel Lastman famously threatened to have him “killed” because he believed (falsely) that Vaughan had leaked information about a shoplifting incident involving Lastman’s wife. Vaughan ran for Toronto council in 2006 in the ward left vacant by Olivia Chow, winning the race against NDP candidate Helen Kennedy. He has been one of Ford’s most vociferous critics since 2010.

Running for mayor takes lots of stamina
NAME: John Tory CURRENT POSITION: chair, CivicAction and CFRB radio host BIOGRAPHY: John Tory got his start in politics working for former Ontario premier Bill Davis and has worked for former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell, before leading Rogers Media and Rogers Cable. After coming in second in the 2003 mayor’s race, Tory went on to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, then host a popular afternoon radio show on CFRB 1010. Tory supporters made preparations for a second mayoralty run in 2010, but he backed out of the race early that year.
NAME: David Soknacki CURRENT POSITION: columnist with Metroland Media Toronto, President of Ecom Food Industries Corporation BIOGRAPHY: David Soknacki is a Scarborough business owner whose company Ecom Food Industries imports spices. He served a single term on the old Scarborough Council from 1994 to 1997, then returned to politics in 1999, filling former Scarborough mayor and councillor Frank Faubert’s seat in a byelection following his death. In 2003, he was Miller’s budget chief, and oversaw the first three budgets of that administration. In 2006, he left politics to return to his business and chair the Parc Downsview Park’s board.
NAME: Denzil Minnan-Wong CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor, chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee BIOGRAPHY: Denzil Minnan-Wong is a veteran of municipal politics in North York. He was first appointed to North York Council in 1994 to fill a vacant seat in Don Mills. A longtime Progressive Conservative, MinnanWong was among Miller’s more active critics and is one of Ford’s most trusted allies. He currently sits on the Executive Committee and chairs the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. While he is loyal to Ford, he has differed from the mayor on occasion – notably, in not supporting a casino in downtown Toronto earlier this year.

>>>from page 1 of those campaigns. But as to the challenge of running a winner? “A simple thing,” he says. “You have to have a message that you’re communicating that the plurality of voters accept. You have to identify your voters, know who they are and get them out to vote.” That, in essence, was the formula Kouvalis used to propel Ford across the finish line, in a race that was considered former Liberal Health Minister George Smitherman’s to lose in early 2010: A blitz of robocalls, telephone town halls and shoe-leather to identify those voters who agreed with Ford’s mantra of stopping the “gravy train” of out-of-control public spending, and make sure they came out on election day. By election day, the Ford campaign had a detailed list of supporters. It’s unlikely that list will be as much use four years later, Kouvalis acknowledges, given what he calls “the distractions” of Mayor Ford’s current term. But the larger divide continues to persist: Ford’s support is strongest in suburban communities and weak in the downtown core. Andrea Adario, who served as press secretary on Miller’s 2003 campaign, says any contender in 2014 is going to have to address that divide. “The city needs a mayor who’s really going to unite most of the municipalities post amalgamation in a way we haven’t seen yet,” she says. “Any candidate needs to be visiting every corner of the city and getting into a headspace where they can comfortably be the advocate of all parts of Toronto. The mayor needs to be seen as a downtown candidate or an Etobicoke candidate.” Adario said given the gruelling pace of a Toronto election, any candidate also needs stamina. Once nominations open Jan. 3, 2014, candidates will have to balance fundraising and low-level campaigning with what has historically been a gruelling number of debates. “It was crazy,” recalls Adario. “We were debating nightly for sure. I would say there was a minimum of four a week, sometimes more. Everything from local ratepayer associations to big debates sponsored by news outlets.” On his radio show, Ford has indicated he doesn’t intend to attend nearly as many debates as he did in 2010. “There are risks as well as benefits,” says Adario. “You risk having the conversation unfold without you.... but he’s shown that he knows how to be disciplined and stay on message and he is a formidable campaigner. But it all depends on who else is running and whatever revelations we might have.” Which leads to one other very simple truth about mayors’ races in Toronto. “There are no rules,” says Kouvalis.

New chronic disease management Honours for TEGH’s walking clinic tool improves quality of life ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com
People with COPD and CHF can enjoy life with well-managed health plans Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), hypertension and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are just a few of the chronic diseases nearly 20 million Canadians are living with today. The diseases are more common in, but not exclusive to, seniors. The good news is that, when well-managed with medication, lifestyle choices and paying attention to early warning signs, people with chronic diseases like COPD (which causes shortness of breath and frequent coughing) and CHF (which causes shortness of breath and swelling in the legs) can enjoy a good quality of life. And there’s help. Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) assists people to stay at home longer, while helping them manage chronic diseases and other major health issues. Telehomecare is offered free of charge to clients of the Toronto Central CCAC and select CCACs throughout Ontario. It monitors patients from home using technol-
ogy, helping people living with these chronic diseases. Each day, Telehomecare patients use special equipment to check their blood pressure, weight, heart rate and pulse. Using a computer tablet, they answer simple questions about how they’re feeling that day. The information is sent automatically to the Telehomecare office. Their nurse reviews this information and speaks with the patient by phone if the numbers or symptoms are cause for concern. The Telehomecare nurse also has direct contact with the patient’s family doctor. Telehomecare includes weekly coaching sessions, in which the nurse educates the patient about their chronic diseases, and early warning signs indicating they should call their doctor – before they need emergency care. Most importantly, take action to stay healthy when you have COPD and CHF: • Follow your doctor’s instructions for how to take your medication • Eat healthy foods (with CHF, avoid salt) • Wash your hands often – to reduce your chance of picking up germs • Exercise daily – simply walking around the block or in the house helps
• Balance activity with rest. Even with a chronic disease, the choices and actions you take can make a big difference to your everyday health.
If you, or someone you know has COPD or CHF, Toronto Central CCAC offers these tips: Early warning signs for COPD and CHF – contact your doctor as soon as possible: • A new cough, or a cough that lasts a long time • Weight gain • Shortness of breath especially when you are making an effort (e.g., exercising or going upstairs) • New or increased tiredness • Ankles more swollen than usual • A fever of 38°C or more
Sitting is discouraged in this clinic’s waiting room. That’s because patients are urged to walk while they wait to talk to their doctor. Lisa Sparrow, a registered nurse at Toronto East General Hospital, developed the concept of a walking clinic after hearing a doctor’s frustration of speaking to patients about the importance of physical activity while having to sit in an examination room. “Talking about it versus actually doing it was frustrating,” Sparrow said. “She wanted to walk the walk instead of just talking about it.” The Walking Diabetes Group Clinic was started in March 2012. In recognition of the clinic, Sparrow was recently honoured with the Innovation Of The Year award by hospital president and CEO Rob Devitt and Ontario Minister of Health Deb Matthews. More than 25 hospital

pro-jects were showcased at the event and were in the running for the award. Sparrow’s innovation is simple, yet was not done before. “To our knowledge, it’s the first time that it incorporates a physician visit as a group while walking,” Sparrow said. At the walking clinic, up to
six patients take a 30-minute stroll with a doctor and a diabetes educator. During the walk, the doctor meets with each patient individually while the rest of the group drops back or goes ahead. “And now there’s no waiting for these patients,” Sparrow said. “We leave together, and the time they would’ve spent waiting they spend walking.” Devitt described the walking clinic as a “low tech, no cost idea” that could be implemented at any hospital. “As an organization we have really pushed the idea of innovation as a way to help us with patient care,” he said. “The staff have responded and all of these displays are profiling creative ideas that were identified by staff, worked up by staff and implemented, and they cover the gamut of the hospital.”

ARAMARK volunteers help spruce up WoodGreen housing HILARY CATON bsrm@insidetoronto.com Ready to get their hands dirty and put their artistic flare to good use, about 100 volunteers from ARAMARK Canada gathered at WoodGreen Community Services’ 55 Pape Ave. location to help improve a handful of its communal spaces. “It won’t just be functional, but it’ll be decorative,” said Ann Rosenfield, the executive director of the WoodGreen Foundation about the projects underway last Wednesday morning. ARAMARK Canada, in partnership with WoodGreen Community Services, began a full day of painting, building and gardening to help the residents take pride in their surroundings as part of the launch of the philanthropic program ARAMARK Building Community (ABC) Opportunity Zone. The pair’s partnership goes back to 2009 and includes a golf tournament this spring that raised $100,000, with $20,000 going toward building a new kitchen for the 55 Pape location. Working together is always a pleasure, Rosenfield said. “ARAMARK does all the work,” he

joked. “We’ve been meeting on this for about four months on a weekly basis, a lot of planning went into this on both sides.” The employees who volunteered their time were split into six teams that dispersed to three locations: The rooftop terrace at 55 Pape was given a facelift with large, new planters,
while existing ones were painted and freed of overgrown weeds, and benches and picnic tables were put together; at the Jack Layton Seniors Housing at 1070 Queen St. E., seniors and volunteers worked together to help sketch and paint a mural outside; and at the children and youth facility at 69 Pape Ave., the porch
was repainted. The volunteers were fired up to get started on the beautification of the area, with many of them more than happy to move out from behind the desk to enjoy the outdoors all for a good cause. “I’m a big believer in giving back to the community,” said Andrea
Coleman-Matthews, a volunteer who was painting one of the planters on the rooftop. Coleman-Matthews also saw the initiative as a “great opportunity to spend time with the people that you don’t normally participate with on a regular basis.” For Emma Appleton, a volunteer for more than 11 years, this project is something she always enjoys. “The best part for someone who has participated before, like myself, is the opportunity to bring new people in and be able to share the excitement with them,” Appleton said. Appleton recently moved to Dundas Street East and Greenwood Avenue and has embraced the community and said she really felt this project hit home. “I’m very proud to be in this area doing this kind of work. It’s a phenomenal area,” Appleton said. To help encourage resident participation in their communal spaces, volunteers donated dozens of tools and gloves to help maintain the rooftop garden once they’ve completed it.

A local BIA wants to know what you think about a Riverside heritage district. The Riverside BIA said the City of Toronto has initiated a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) study for Riverside, which will have “significant implications for property owners.” An HCD is an area protected by a municipal bylaw passed by council under the Ontario Heritage Act. HCDs are designated because the areas they protect are considered to be historically or culturally significant and require special care and attention in the planning process to ensure they are conserved, according to the alert.
The Riverside BIA, along with representatives from the Ralph Thornton Centre, Riverdale Health Centre and WoodGreen Community Services, has been invited to be part of the HCD Assessment Committee. The BIA’s board of directors is asking for member feedback. The firm leading the HCD study has been invited to the Riverside BIA’s annual general meeting Oct. 2 to discuss what is being planned.

A new line of retro-subway gear pays homage to the short-lived “interlining” era of the TTC. The idea was to integrate both Yonge and newlyopened Bloor-Danforth via a junction of switching tracks, making it possible to board a train and ride it between lines without having to transfer. The plan was shelved in mere months. Now Astrid Idlewild has produced classic tee shirts for each of the 36 stations on the 1966 subway map (including now-defunct Lower Bay station).

Scarborough subway a ‘done deal’ DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com A subway in Scarborough is “a done deal,” federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters in Scarborough Monday morning. “It’s a done deal,” said Flaherty as he announced $660 million in federal funding for a Scarborough subway to replace the Scarborough Rapid Transit line. “It will create many, many jobs, economic activity, growth and prosperity.” Flaherty was joined by Mayor Rob Ford at the announcement of the federal funding, which was first revealed Sunday in an event with Flaherty and Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Etobicoke. Monday, the politicians came to Scarborough’s Don Montgomery Community Centre, just east of the current end of the Bloor-Danforth subway line at Kennedy station. The federal funding would be for a line that extended all the way north to Sheppard Avenue, travelling under
