Local junk removal companies recycle or donate 60 per cent of items they pick up DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com With the holiday shopping season in full swing, the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) is urging residents to consider if they truly need something before purchasing it.

"We’re probably buying too much stuff. We’re probably making too many things and consuming too many things," TEA’s waste campaigner, Emily Alfred, said.

"It’s hard, especially with the holidays coming up. People don’t want to hear that. But, think a little bit before you buy things," she added. "Buy less, buy things that are more durable and are going to last longer, and know that when you’re done with it, you can give it away."

In 2013 alone, the City of Toronto managed nearly one million tonnes of waste (garbage, recycling and compost) - quantities the city says are not sustainable.

And even then, Alfred said that number only covers residential waste, while businesses produce as much as 60 per cent of all waste.

While the strain on landfills is great, the environmental impact is worse when you consider how much energy goes into making a product. Creating products requires water, natural resources and electricity - not to mention the resources it takes to ship those products across the world, or the energy used to power the stores where those products are

sold.

"We have a finite amount of resources on the planet. If we take them and make them into something and just waste that thing and throw it to landfill or just burn it up, all the resources that are in that should be reused," Alfred said. "We should be recycling things, we should be buying less, we should be reusing things."

While Toronto has a 53 per cent diversion rate, a recent waste audit revealed that 85 per cent of waste that comes out of homes is either recyclable or compostable. The city has since passed a long term waste strategy, which aims to improve diversion rates and teach people to cut down on food waste, to recycle more, and to reuse things.

"If everybody recycled, composted or reused everything they could, we’d have a really small amount of waste," Alfred added.

To those ends, TEA suggests that before throwing items away, people should seek out others who may find those objects useful.

As an example, Alfred urged those looking to get rid of used furniture to think about donating items that are still in good order to local organizations such as Furniture Bank, rather than simply putting them out on the curb on garbage day.

The Etobicoke-based charitable organization has provided free gentlyused furniture to more than 105,000 people in need including women and children escaping abuse, those moving beyond homeless-

With the holidays fast approaching and the demand for its services on the rise, Furniture Bank is looking for support from the community, to ensure that it can continue to fulfil its mission to help its clients gain a sense of "dignity, stability, and security" by furnishing their homes.

"Traditionally over the years, December is one of our slowest months in terms of collecting furniture, while the demand on the client side is so high and it’s only getting higher with housing rates and the

cost of living here in Toronto going up," said Noah Kravitz, Furniture Bank’s community engagement manager.

"We’re currently at a point where our demand on the client side is so much higher than the furniture we’re collecting from the community. So, at this point, we’re looking to collect as much ’gently-loved’ furniture as we can."

Two local companies are trying to help organizations like Furniture Bank out, while at the same time diverting as many reusable items from the landfill as possible.

junkies," 1-800-RID-OF-IT is a Bloor West-based rubbish removal company that recycles or donates 60 per cent of the items it picks up.

President Rick Crawford said the holidays often lead to a surge in the demand for 1-800-RID-OF-ITs services.

"Certainly after the holidays, people say ’Woah, we got all this new stuff, now we have to get rid of the old stuff,’ so they call us," he said. "Most of the 60 per cent (we divert) is made up of recycling ... but we do try to donate as much furniture and household items as we can."

Furniture Bank, the Sal-

vation Army, Red Door Family Shelter and Daily Bread Food Bank are listed among 1-800-RID-OF-ITs charitable partners.

Just Junk, another local waste removal company, likewise diverts 60 per cent of the "junk" it picks up from clients to be either recycled or donated.

"When we donate this stuff and we see people enjoy it - we’ve even seen people in the streets need stuff and we give it away - that’s the best part of this job," said Alden Tupe, who works at Just Junk’s Toronto South franchise.

ABOUT US

Don’t ruin your life, or the lives of others, by driving drunk The holidays are a time of year for family gatherings, evenings out with friends and reminiscing about the year that was, and looking ahead to what might come.

With every story shared of dreams fulfilled, or those that remained just out of reach, alcohol may be a regular companion at the table.

Catching up over a bottle of wine isn’t uncommon during the holidays, but what shouldn’t become common is getting behind the wheel after an evening of drinking - now, or at any time of year.

MADD Canada reports that accidents involving alcohol and/or drugs are the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. Its website reports that in 2012, there were 2,546 crash deaths. Of those, 1,497 involved drivers who had some alcohol or drug presence in their system. That works out to almost 60 per cent of people who knowingly turned the key in the ignition after consuming alcohol or drugs.

But that doesn’t have to be the case.

There is enough education and awareness about the dangers of drunk or drugged driving that there’s no excuse to get behind the wheel impaired. The human cost is staggering; innocent people’s lives changed in an instant, without their consent. The financial cost to all parties involved can be catastrophic; draining their savings and in some cases, losing their homes because of court costs or stacking medical bills.

The Toronto Police Service, along with 16 other police services across the province, launched its annual holiday R.I.D.E. campaign last month. Toronto police are out every night until after the new year holding spot checks at various locations across the city – working to keep you safe.

But drivers have a responsibility.

Pay for the long cab ride, take Uber, arrange for a designated driver or call someone you trust to pick you up.

Making arrangements to enjoy yourself, but not taking the unnecessary risk of getting in the driver’s seat impaired, is the best gift you can give yourself this holiday season.

If you’re heading out to celebrate the start of 2017, Corby Spirit and Wine is partnering with the TTC to offer complimentary rides home for revelers. There are options everywhere.

No good time is worth driving impaired.

Industrial buildings tempt the faithful, despite city crackdown Toronto is a place of religious freedom, but isn’t a friendly place for religious groups which lack a lot of patience and money.

If you want to start a church, mosque, or temple, and you don’t want to rent space in another religious institution, your options are limited.

Building a place of worship takes plenty of time and cash. If you don’t have that, you’re more likely to do something foolish, such as moving into an old warehouse or factory.

On a stretch of Birchmount Road in Scarborough, the city shut down a Hindu temple last month.

The Canada Kanthaswamy Temple Society held services in a warehouse for years, temporarily, while its home on the same street

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto is being rebuilt.

The Sakinah Centre opened a mosque and private school in an industrial building two doors away from that warehouse. More than 100 children attended the school before it suddenly shut down, and the mosque with it, in January.

Both buildings were served with orders branding them "unsafe" - both lacked fire safety systems required for places of wor-

ship and schools - but the city also acted because they were in an employment area it wants to save.

Michael Thompson, chairperson of Toronto’s Economic Development Committee, says the city is not picking on any religious groups, but Sakinah and Canada Kanthaswamy both ignored the city’s warnings about improper zoning.

"A lot of folks are just not wanting to follow the rules."

Part of the problem is this industrial part of Birchmount is already dotted with places of worship and private schools, as are many employment zones across the city.

Seeking to stop a trend, the city clamped down in 2013 with a new bylaw,

though it seems it sometimes takes inspectors years to find and act against new places of worship existing where they shouldn’t.

To leaders of religious institutions struggling to find an affordable building - and who perhaps received bad advice - this must look awfully unfair, and empty industrial real estate awfully tempting.

But what about those believers who scraped together the donations, the money for lessons? Where can they go now?

the students got together and worked in groups to create their boxes and write their letters.

"I was so moved and I was so choked up," Birrell said about how she felt when she read the letters.

"It was really quite real to them and the advice they gave was really authentic."

The packages, which were shipped out on Tuesday, Dec. 20, will be delivered to Dubarah, an organization that helps to link Syrian immigrants with support and resources.

Grade 12 student Manas Thaker, 17, whose parents came to Canada from India when he was three, wrote in his letter where to find facilities such as libraries and community centres that could help them learn Canadian culture.

"Canada is an accepting place," he said.

Thaker’s peer, Tony Nguyen, who moved to Canada from Slovakia when he was 10, said Syrians will have no problem adjusting to new life in Canada.

Students at York Memorial Collegiate Institute got together this month to help new Syrian immigrants adjust to Canadian life a little easier.

Grade nine and 12 students organized, packed and decorated welcome boxes of basic food and household supplies for new Syrian refugees.

Furthermore, the students, the majority of whom come from immigrant families or are immigrants themselves, wrote welcome letters in which they related some of their own experiences on adjusting to new life.

"My parents came to Canada from Somalia in the early 1990s," Ijaabo Mohamed, 17, told Metroland Media Toronto. "There was civil war going on. There was a guy... he was kind of a dictator and was ruining farmlands and killing people."

Mohamed’s parents soon left the country and came to Canada, where she was born, and she feels honoured to share advice with people in a similar situation to that of her par-

ents.

"I see what’s happening in Syria and everything, and as soon as I heard that we had this project coming up, I got really excited, not to send them the food, but I feel it’s more important to send them your thoughts and prayers, and share your story so they have something to hold on to," she said.

The students’ teacher, Heather Birrell, created the project after watching a documentary film, Clouds over Sidra, which tells the story about a 12-year-old girl living in a refugee camp in Jordan.

The movie was filmed with 360-degree technology, which really grasped the students’ attention, Birrell said.

"They got to see what life was like inside that refugee camp through her eyes," she said, adding the class became interested in helping refugees.

"I asked the people at the Sidra Project what was manageable, and they said people living here need a start up," she said. "So basic food and basic toiletries."

Even though the project wasn’t going to be marked,

CORRECTION In the Michaels ad starting on December 16, 2016, “Frames starting at $4.99” was stated in error on page 2. Based on the images shown in the ad, the statement should have read “Frames starting at $9.99”.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Artist and educator, Frances Hallman-Chong, has explored a variety of media, including stone, clay and pastel. Currently, oil paints and watercolours are her media of choice. She is particularly drawn to the

challenges of painting en plein air, and when time permits, loves taking her paints outdoors to see what she can "catch".

When that isn’t possible, her enormous file of photos serves as a handy reference.

Frances’ work is featured in private and public collections in Canada and USA. She also operates Art Tracks, a drawing and painting program, where she offers classes for children and adults at her Bloor West Vil-

"View from Above" is a painting created from a photo Hallman-Chong took from a classroom on the second floor of Runnymede Public School, looking over Colbeck and Kennedy.

The Dufferin Grove Park clubhouse and ice rink is pictured on Monday, Dec. 19.

Resident group forming to discuss new clubhouse changes Deadline to apply extended to Jan.16 AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com The City of Toronto is looking for residents near the Dufferin Grove Park area to apply to a Community Resource Group (CRG) to provide input for a future design change in the park.

The city has identified an opportunity for improvements in the park’s north-west corner, where the clubhouse, ice rink, Zamboni garage, community garden and bake oven are located.

The city wants to work with the community to develop a "shared vision" in that space while respecting existing programs and creating new opportunities for

the future.

Liz Nield, the CEO and partner at Lura Consulting, the city’s community facilitator for the project, is encouraging residents to sign up for the CRG. "I think it’s a part of a broader public engagement initiative," she said.

"It’s a way of having key stakeholders involved and having the conversation."

A community meeting was held in November where forms to apply for the CRG were handed out.

"We’re hoping we can get the word out further through networks of people," she said. "We’re in the process of trying to set up a website with the city and then it would be made available online, but it’s not up yet."

The CRG will comprise of 12 to 15 members that represent several interests including: park and clubhouse users, residents,

JOE’S NO FRILLS HELPS LOCAL FAMILIES CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS Joe’s No Frills, located at 900 Dufferin St. in Dufferin Mall, is helping local families in need have a merry Christmas. The store donated $1,500 in No Frills gift cards to St. Mary Catholic Academy’s “Adopt a Family” initiative. The high school is sponsoring families in need in the community over the holidays.

Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood #6 on Airbnb list Locals not surprised at inclusion in ’17 Neighbourhoods to Watch in 2017’ list AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com

Family Owned & Operated Since 1961

Some residents in the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood aren’t surprised at its high ranking in Airbnb’s "17 Neighbourhoods to Watch in 2017" list.

The popular rental booking website ranked the area sixth out of 17 areas across the world that Airbnb is predicting will be trendy.

Airbnb said in a press release they have seen 497 per cent growth in rentals in this pocket of Toronto from last year.

The area ranked higher than Midtown Miami, west

Seattle and Narvarte in Mexico City.

Namina Kamara, 19, who has been living in Rockcliffe-Smythe for seven years, isn’t shocked the area ranked so high.

"There’s a lot of parks and a lot of things to do here," she told The Bloor West Villager. "When I first moved here, it was quite great because there’s a plaza near, there’s parks, there’s a pool, there’s bike trails, you can go walking and it’s very green."

Those green spaces, Airbnb said in its press release, "make for a relaxing visit while only being a short walk to the shops, restaurants and live music of the neighbouring Junction community."

Real estate broker Anita Merlo, who has been living in the area for 16 years, told The Villager the area is attractive because it’s close to other areas.

"The proximity to the Junction, Bloor West and

even the Humber River Trail and other trails, as well as the airport," she said. "You’re kind of at a hub where you could get out of the city if you needed too."

David Walsh, 19, has been working in the area since the summer at The Great Apparel at Jane Street and Alliance Avenue. He said he never would have thought Rockcliffe-Smythe would be a trendy area, but since he started working in the community, his thoughts have changed.

"So many people in the area are so great," he said.

"This would be one of my top choices to live in Toronto.it’s like its own little town."

Walsh added RockcliffeSmythe is a good destination to visit in the summer.

"You have beautiful greenery, great parks which are great for picnics or any other family gatherings. It’s great for that."

COLUMN

9 | Bloor West Villager | Thursday, December 22, 2016

2016 was a cruel year for everyone - including City Hall I don’t know how your social media feed has been coping with the nearly-finished 2016 - but mine has been cursing the year, with every death and setback: David Bowie, Prince, Mohamed Ali, Canada’s own Alan Thicke .

While one might gently point that death comes for some of us every year, it’s hard not to see that in 2016, the reaper cast an unusually long shadow, at least against the glare of public light.

Toronto was not spared.

In March, former Mayor and City Councillor Rob Ford succumbed to the cancer he had been battling since 2014. Arguably the most famous politician that Toronto has ever produced, and also one of the most divisive, Ford’s passing - and the opulent public viewing and funeral - was impossible for any Toron-

six #

five

DAVID NICKLE The City tonian, grieving or otherwise, to ignore.

And when it was done, Toronto finished the first year in a long time that was not defined by its relationship with Ford and his particular, and very powerful, kind of populism. The late former mayor’s nephew Michael Ford moved into his city council seat in Ward 2 (Etobicoke North).

But the sharp, populist critique from a former mayor who had promised to run again and might well have

won if he had . that was gone.

Its absence seems to have made at least some difference. Just last week, Mayor John Tory and Toronto Council moved forward with only minimal fuss, to look at a revenue tool that would have turned into a Ford-fed bonfire a year earlier: road tolls, on the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway. This fall, council supported looking at a billion-dollar-plus rail deck park. There are bike lanes - bike lanes! - on Bloor Street.

Some of these things may well have come forward with Rob Ford sitting on council.

As it stands, while 2016 was a cruel year for too many – for Toronto’s political leadership, at least for a time, it was uniquely unconstrained.

Witnesses to city’s latest murder asked to come forward CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Police are appealing for witnesses with information about the shooting death of 26-year-old Faysal Mohamed Hees at his Etobicoke apartment on Sunday to come forward.

Hees was found suffering "obvious signs of trauma" in his unit at 2067 Islington Ave. under suspicious circumstances on the morning of Monday, Dec. 19 and was pronounced dead on the scene, Homicide Det. Leslie Dunkley told media at a briefing at the building Wednesday morning.

"What we believe is our deceased was involved in an altercation in his apartment late Sunday evening,

and as a result of this argument, we believe that lead to his demise," Dunkley said, noting that Hees’ cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound.

"So we’re looking for some assistance from the public with any information that they have to assist in this investigation."

Dunkley said investigators believe there were other people present in Hees’ apartment unit at the time of his shooting and are appealing for those people to contact police.

In the meantime, he said officers have been canvassing the building and are currently reviewing video surveillance from the area.

"Residents are being cooperative to some degree,

but we know there are more witnesses out there that need to come forward," he said. "We’re hoping that some witnesses come forward to assist us in this case."

Police are also investigating whether or not Hees’ murder is connected to a stabbing call at the same apartment the day before, on Sunday, Dec. 18 at around 12:30 p.m., Dunkley said.

Hees is Toronto’s 68th murder victim of 2016. No suspect description has yet been released.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 416-8087400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at www.222tips.com or 416222-8477.

BEARY MERRY CHRISTMAS

CONSUMER FEATURE

Baby Point Gates BIA Soup Festival raises money for Santa Fund

Submitted photo

Ava Coty, 5, receives a toy from Metroland Media Toronto in the CIBC Just For Kids Clinic at St. Joseph’s Health Centre on friday, Dec. 16. The toys were part of Metroland’s 14th annual Beary Merry Christmas campaign in partnership with local advertisers and Samko and Mikko Toy Warehouse.

To get into the holiday spirit, the Baby Point BIA hosted its inaugural Baby Its Cold Outside Charity Soup Festival, which raised $1,740 to help families with limited means give their children a special Christmas via the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund.

For a $2 donation, shoppers sampled a delicious cup of soup from any of the generous 14 merchants, such as the Sopa de Tortilla from Mad Mexican or the Carrot Ginger Soup from Our Farms Organic Bakery. The BIA looks forward to hosting the event again next year.
