Spatial DNA CEO Todd Lewis’ company has created a program called PeopleFlow that tracks cellphones, and will be used by the Bloor West BIA to gather shoppers’ movement data in the district along Bloor Street from South Kingsway to Runnymede.
’PeopleFlow’ to track shoppers in Bloor West HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com As a business, how can you keep track of the customers that come in your store? How do you monitor the success of an event with conversion of regular customers to loyal customers?
This used to be all guesswork, until a Toronto-based tech company found a way to track it all. Spatial DNA created PeopleFlow, a monitoring platform that tracks traffic flow patterns into analytics for companies to see on a web-based dashboard. Spatial DNA’s CEO and president Todd
Lewis teamed up with the Bloor West Business Improvement Area (BIA) board to track mobile movement of its customers through their mobile devices. "Don’t worry, we’re not spying on you," said Lewis. "We use Wi-Fi, which is like a radio signal, and as you’re walk-
ing around, your phone is looking for places to connect you to the Internet. We work with that. We don’t know whose phone it belongs to or what the number is, we just know a device is there." Once detected, a device is seen

Toronto Youth Cabinet led push for financial literacy learning across Ontario JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com When it comes to providing a quality education, those who stand to benefit most - youth - are often left without a voice at the table. With financial literacy set to earn increased attention in Ontario classrooms, however, students across the province may want to give thanks to the Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC). First established 1998 by Toronto City Council, the TYC started out as a way of getting youth involved in municipal decisions. Nearly two decades later, the group has lent a youth voice to issues ranging from housing to transit to employment to education. With the provincial government’s late March announcement that financial literacy would be one of the major planks of a career studies pilot program, one of the TYC’s main objectives have been achieved. Students will now get a firmer footing in terms of earning and saving, budgeting and money management. The TYC’s focus on boosting financial literacy education started in 2016, when Prakash Amarasooriya joined the team and took on the role of school boards lead. He noted that in talking to youth about shortcomings in the education system, the lack of financial literacy education was a common refrain. "We did research to see how financial literacy was taught in schools - we looked into the Ontario curriculum - and there were mentions of it but it wasn’t really directly addressed," said Amarasoori-

"It was dispersed throughout other courses, but it wasn’t a focus. It felt more like an afterthought." There had been repeated calls for mandatory money skills to be taught in high school from various groups and politicians. The TYC also approached the Ministry of Education last summer to raise the issue, but felt their initial overtures were rebuffed. "What we got from them was that they thought they were doing a good enough job with financial literacy," Amarasooriya said. Not content with that response, the TYC created a five-phase plan to increase the pressure on the
government to devote more class time to financial literacy. They started with a petition and followed it up with a press release, and the attention those steps garnered was enough that the final phases of their plan - taking the matter to the legislature, conducting workshops and airing videos from youth talking about the importance of financial literacy education - were not necessary. "Fortunately, the attention we got in the media was enough that we started to see the slight differences in the minister’s statements over the next two to three weeks," said TYC ex-
ecutive director Tom Gleason. "It went from ’We’re confident things are working well’ to ’Changes are coming.’" Gleason added that the TYC’s actions received nearly unanimous consent from people from across the political spectrum. Amarasooriya noted financial literacy education will better prepare students for life outside the classroom in ways many core courses may not. "It will help students take a look at their goals, values and (financial) decision-making and help them understand what their needs are and what their wants are," he said.
"They’ll also get familiar with things like mortgages, financing and leases, or TFSAs and RRSPs. Those things can be confusing or daunting when you don’t really know about them, and this will help students understand them better." That knowledge will better enable young people to take control of their financial futures, giving them the tools they need to make smarter decisions. Making the careers course and its associated financial literacy education mandatory will be another big win for students across the province. "People from disadvan-
taged neighbourhoods will get as much in-school learning about financial literacy as people from affluent neighbourhoods," Amarasooriya said. "And where putting a useful topic in another course was shown to be ineffective, this will make it way more useful to students." Education Minister Mitzie Hunter said she was happy to hear from the TYC when it approached her with its call for increased financial literacy in schools. Having taken her role in the ministry last June, she was quick to see the importance of such instruction. "They came to me to talk about ’How do we bring this into schools?’ and I was really pleased to let them know that I was very supportive of this and wanted to see it happen," she said. Hunter added that she was impressed with the TYC’s commitment and preparation in bringing about change, noting that having engaged youth makes the education system work better not only for the students but for the province as a whole. "It’s very important to me that I hear (from) students and connect with them on their learning and on their education," she said. "Listening to students and allowing them to share their ideas and their perspectives around their learning is extremely important." With the TYC and other engaged youth organizations taking on leadership roles, there will surely be no shortage of ideas and perspectives coming the minister’s way.

AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com The show will go on for Hugh’s Room. The 12-person working group formed in January to save the long-standing Roncesvalles music venue has created a new nonprofit business dubbed Hugh’s Room Live. The new entity will occupy the club’s current location near Dundas and Bloor streets after securing a three-year lease with the new landlord. After previous scheduled launch dates fell through, William ’Grit’ Laskin, the working group’s spokesperson, told Metroland Media Toronto the club will open on April 22. "We’re totally thrilled. This working group is just a bunch of people volunteering their time, and we’re all busy people, and it’s taken a lot of work," he said. "We’ve been meeting every week, as well as non-
stop email traffic and phone calls." The club has raised more than $100,000 since launching its fundraising campaign, but it still needs more to keep the club alive, Laskin said. "We are a startup, and it’s going to be at least a half-year before the club is fully booked," he said. "When it is fully booked . that’s when there’s enough cash flow to make it sustainable." As a result, Hugh’s Room Live will be hosting a fundraising concert on April 29, and plans on organizing a membership system when it’s fully operational. The club has also brought back previous manager Anthony Ferrando to work as the general manager of the new business. "I went to one of the committee meetings and I decided it was something I was interested in doing," Ferrando said. "I really didn’t want to see things

It re-opens on April 22nd and a fundraising gala takes place on April 29th. close the way they did, because it’s such a great club that has played such an important role in Toronto’s music scene for so long." Previous owner Richard Carson was forced to abruptly close the 200-person capacity club in Janu-
ary, leaving some staff and artists yet to be paid. The Ministry of Labour said they are investigating three Employment Standards Claims filed against the old company. Laskin said the new company is not responsi-
ble to take on financial obligations from Carson’s company, but added the new business has been rehiring former staff members and plans to continue rehiring more. "Really, we’re a startup and we’re a new entity," he
said. "There’s no money as well as no debts from the original company . but we understand we’re in this kind of grey area where we’re reviving a club that had a reputation, but has also created some negative vibes out there because of some of the circumstances that were happening, and we’re trying to smooth those over." In terms of the future, Laskin said he sees the club being a successful nonprofit while also serving as a community hub. "What we’re hoping can happen is what used to happen at some of the clubs in the city . where groups like amateur groups that get together for jam sessions, or for choirs and things like that, can make use of the space during the day before load in times for sound checks," he said.

ABOUT US
Toronto’s embarrassment of riches spells trouble Toronto has always been a city bursting at the seams. We don’t have enough road capacity for all our cars and trucks, and our public transit system is underdeveloped and overcrowded. We are just getting a handle on our aging sewer infrastructure, which has been neglected for decades and has shown it after heavy rains. Mitigating poverty and homelessness has been a constant struggle, and our stock of subsidized public housing cannot keep up. Now we can add another pressure to the list of forces bedevilling Toronto: Wealth - in the form of the city’s obscenely overvalued stock of housing that is decidedly not subsidized. According to the Toronto Real Estate Board, the price of a house in the Toronto area has risen by 33.2 per cent over the past year, and now sits at $900,000 on average. That is good news for people who’ve bought their home in the past decade. It augurs badly for young families or anyone else hoping to put down roots in our communities through the traditional and powerful route of home ownership. The choices for those of more limited means are unappetizing. Even those earning high-five-figure salary will have a hard time gathering a down payment and paying a mortgage on a $1-million property, but attempting to do so is one option. Rental housing is another possibility - but hyperinflated real estate costs have had the effect of hyperinflating the rental market, too. A third option - simply seeking housing elsewhere - is the perhaps the most viable for house-hunters, but disastrous for a city. As Canada’s largest city and the country’s major financial centre, Toronto has always been marked as a focal point for wealth, but that has never been the city’s sole identity, and certainly not its best identity. At our best, we live the city’s motto; Diversity Our Strength. And diversity is sorely curtailed, in a city where the price of entry is on average $1 million. It’s encouraging to see our political leadership at all three levels of government taking note, even if it is somewhat belated. Whether the actions that have so far been proposed - taxes on vacant units and offshore investor purchases to cool speculation, and changes to the Tenant Protection Act to mitigate gouging rent increases - will be enough, is another question. There is another solution; a catastrophic market correction that will cost people their homes, but eventually set the ship right. Let us pray it doesn’t come to that.

Prayers in the rain for troubled Jamestown The rain starts falling as they walk up Jamestown Crescent. Memories come back, every one of them painful. "Beckles got shot at this door, right up there. We had a prayer rally up here," says Rev. Carmen Lewis. Gordon Beckles, 46, died on his porch in March 2015. Lecent Ross, 14, was killed as a handgun went off four months later. "Her mom is just up here. Oh, there’s just been so many of them," says Al Bowen, a local pastor. Bowen points his borrowed pink umbrella at where Candice Rochelle Bobb, 35, was shot in a car last May. Her unborn son died three weeks later. In front of Jamestown’s food bank, members of the Etobicoke Strategy begin

They’re persistent visitors to this and other neighbourhoods, inspired by a Boston movement bringing faith leaders and police officers together on community walks.

place, the wall of silence goes lower." The rain and wind increase. Andrew King, another pastor, asks God to guide police working in the community. "Wash away the crime, the grime, Father," he says, asking God to remove the "negative element" here, to give hope to Jamestown’s children, food to its cupboards, jobs to people not working. "They may not know it," he adds, "but we’re interceding for them, praying for them." Vincent Crisanti, the local councillor, says the city and its Toronto Community Housing Corporation do their best. He points to new courtyard stone among the drab townhouses, more se-
curity cameras, better lighting. Lewis greets a group of children standing outside, asks if they’re enjoying the rain. Do the community walks work? "You find that people are more willing to come out and talk, even with police around," says Const. Anthony Amantea, but notes there were two shootings in Jamestown this year. "It’s hard to say whether it’s getting better." As the group walks back to their cars, King says he lives in a safe community. "Why can’t these people?" Seeing they can is a responsibility for all of us. Reach Mike Adler at madler@insidetoronto.com.

The trophy cabinet at Metroland Media Toronto is getting more additions. Photographer Justin Greaves, Beach Mirror and East York Mirror reporter Joanna Lavoie and Etobicoke Guardian reporter Tamara Shephard are recent recipients of several journalism awards. On April 7, Greaves took home four awards from the Ontario Community Newspaper Association’s 2016 Better Newspapers Award ceremony including Photographer of the Year for his work at the Ajax Pickering News Advertiser. He recently joined the Toronto team. His other accolades include: Best Feature Photo Circulation under 9,999 for the Uxbridge Times Journal, Best Sports Photo for Oshawa This Week and Most Creative Grip and Grin Photo for the Ajax Pickering News Advertiser. That same day, She-
phard was honoured with a Toronto Professional Fire Fighters’ Association 2016 Off-Duty and Media Award. Shephard received the award for her reporting last May on the funeral of Toronto firefighter Sara Rosen, 38. Rosen died in a mountain biking accident while out riding with a colleague at Kelso Conservation Area in Milton, Ont. Shephard won the award for Best Print Article, Circulation under 100,000. On April 6, Lavoie received a media award during the annual Toronto Paramedic Services Awards at Toronto Paramedic Services headquarters for a Sept. 21 article she wrote about the reopening of Station 43 in Leslieville as well as the reunion of paramedics with an East York resident they saved when he collapsed into cardiac arrest.
She was one of six members of the media who were recognized for their coverage of Toronto Paramedic Services’ efforts in improving the quality of life, health and safety of the city’s residents and visitors. "These awards help recognize the great work and effort our journalists put into their jobs, covering the news of the city and its communities," said Grace Peacock, editor-in-chief at Metroland Media Toronto. "It’s great to have these three on our team and I know I speak for the rest of the newsroom in offering them congratulations on their achievements." Metroland Media Toronto publishes eight weekly papers, from the Etobicoke Guardian in the west-end to the Scarborough Mirror in the eastend. Metroland Media Toronto also publishes daily to Insidetoronto.com.

PeopleFlow uses mobile devices to monitor movement l Continued from page 1
as a dot on the map and is given a unique identifier. From there, PeopleFlow will monitor the movement of the mobile devices within a physical space, in this case along Bloor Street West from Runnymede Road to the South Kingsway. It’s designed to help track how long the person spends in the area, if
they’re a new visitor or area regular. "We created zones on the north and south side (of the street) which is a fancy traffic counter," Lewis added. "It tracks how many people are in the area and how long they spend there; is it the first time they’ve been here, or are they returning, and how many times have they returned?
This is what we’re collecting." Collecting data from shoppers has been happening for years with businesses asking for postal codes, but PeopleFlow is working with using the vast existing Internet network infrastructure society can’t live without. The technology itself is called geospatial data, and all you need is power and
the Internet. PeopleFlow currently uses Bloor West’s existing solar-powered street light infrastructure to overlay Wi-Fi sensors with something Lewis calls a microwave relay network, which is another type of wireless network that helps bring signals back to the sensors. The BIA launched the program in August and Da-
vid Howitt, the owner of Marlborough’s Stationery on Bloor West, was the first to sign up to monitor the effectiveness of events and sales. "They’re interested in if the marketing they’re doing has an impact, all these events draw people to the community and they want to know if they come back and do they come back on a regular basis afterwards,"
Lewis explained. The program isn’t just for small local BIAs, said Lewis. He believes the future of data collection, for which PeopleFlow is paving the way, is beginning to catch on. In fact, Lewis is in discussions with "several retailers" who are looking to adopt the technology and has begun working on "various stages of pilots with major retailers."

West End Mamas, located near Bloor and Jane streets, provides new moms that are going through their perinatal period with close to 30 services such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, doula services, pelvic floor physiotherapy and registered massage therapy.
