Cycling advocates Robert Zaichkowski, Helen Qu and Hyedie Hashimoto want to see the Bloor Bike Lane Pilot Project extended into their west-end neighbourhoods and beyond. Councillors are expected to make a decision by the end of the year.

Cycling advocates want bike lanes extended west AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com Cycling advocates in Toronto’s west end want to see the separated bike lanes on Bloor Street West kept and extended into their neighbourhoods and beyond.

pilot project, which runs from Shaw Street to Avenue Road, expected to be made before the year’s end, Helen Qu thinks an extension to Islington Avenue in Etobicoke would make sense.

"As a cyclist, I find that if I have a safe space to bike in, I will more likely stop at the businesses and shop at the businesses versus completely avoiding that

stretch (west of Shaw) at all," said the 29-year-old Sunnyside resident. "There’s also many schools and libraries on that section of Bloor as well, so it would be a really good opportunity for our school kids to be able to cycle to their schools."

Qu avoids that stretch of Bloor because she feels unsafe.

"Sometimes it’s really hard to

The 21st annual Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival took over the streets of the neighbourhood this past weekend.

The festival, which has been happening since 1996, provided various forms of entertainment with Ukrainian performers from the Greater Toronto Area, Canada, U.S. and Ukraine.

Furthermore, there were dancers, vocalists, musicians and a special youth performance and more.

There were also two stages set up for the shows and guests took part in traditional Ukrainian dance on the streets of Bloor West Village in the evening of the first two days.

Vendor kiosks offered authentic Ukrainian food, beverages, crafts and collectibles.

car near Dovercourt Road a few months ago.

"I know if the bike lane was there, the driver would have been encouraged to be more careful because the bike lanes give drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians a sense of predictability," the Parkdale resident said.

Data collected by city staff shortly after the bike lanes were installed in August 2016 showed the amount of cyclists increased to 4,500 per day from 3,300 per day, with 25 per cent of that increase coming from new cyclists.

Also, cars travelling along Bloor decreased to

20,000 per day from 24,500 per day, but travel times increased from Bay Street to Ossington Avenue by an average of four minutes in the morning and around eight minutes in the afternoon.

Furthermore, in staff’s latest report issued in June, residents surveyed within the study area showed support for the bike lanes.

Zaichkowski thinks an extension near Dundas Street West is urgently needed.

"Between Ossington and Lansdowne, there is no east or west cycling route," he said. "But personally, I’d like to see the Bloor bike lanes extend all

the way to Kipling."

Little Portugal resident Hyedie Hashimoto, 39, said staff should not only extend the bike lanes, but also extend the study itself.

"Taking studies within a few months or just a year after the Bloor Street bike lanes have been installed and deciding whether or not to keep them is kind of premature," she said. "It would be nice if they could do studies that are maybe two or three years in, so people are used to the idea that there are bike lanes there and get used to the idea of taking a slight detour of their regular routes to be able to bike on a major arterial road."

Thousands of Torontonians packed Roncesvalles Village this past weekend for the 12th annual Roncesvalles Polish Festival.

Festival-goers enjoyed local and international music, including Polish folklore, polka, and Euro dance bands and entertainment on multiple stages that were set up in the area, on Roncesvalles Avenue from Dundas to Queen streets.

The popular ’Dance Under The Stars’ polka party happened Saturday night.

There was Polish cuisine available such as pierogis, kielbasa, bigos, cabbage rolls, and more from more than 40 restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and bistros in the neighbourhood.

Guests also shopped at the area’s boutique shops and merchants and checked out the Polish Artwalk taking place in many shops along the way.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• OUR VIEW •

ABOUT US

Legacy continues with Invictus Games The Toronto International Film Festival may have wrapped up last weekend, but Toronto has kept the red carpet rolled out with the Invictus Games about to take over.

If there’s anyone that deserves the spotlight, it’s these soldiers and veterans - about 550 of them from 17 allied nations - who will take part in the event which kicks off with the opening ceremonies Saturday night. Competition takes place from Sunday through to the closing ceremonies the following Saturday night.

The nations involved have all asked a lot of their armed forces.

For those of us who live in a democracy, such as Canada, we have the privilege and responsibility to question our political leaders - past, present and future - whether the right decisions have been made in the deployment of our troops.

What should never be up for debate is the support we must always have for those troops - the men and women we have sent, and continue to send, into harm’s way on our behalf.

For Canada, that commitment includes being a part of the Global Coalition against Daesh in Iraq on the heels of a more than 12-year deployment in Afghanistan.

These athletes, according to organizers, "have become ill or injured during or as a direct consequence of their service."

You can bet they will try to win their events, but they have already won, in some cases hard earned battles, just by participating.

Supporters are welcome to check out their efforts.

There are some free events. Watch wheelchair tennis at Nathan Phillips Square, archery at Fort York, cycling in High Park, golf at St. George’s Golf and Country Club as well as the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge, which is being held on a special course being built on the parking grounds adjacent to the Distillery District.

Ticketed events (most at a very reasonable $25) include athletics at York University, swimming at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough and, at Ryerson’s Mattamy Athletic Centre (formerly Maple Leaf Gardens), indoor rowing, powerlifting, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.

Beware, some sessions have already sold out.

The Invictus Games follow on the heels of this summer’s successful North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) for Indigenous youth. Both events benefited from the facilities bequeathed to us by The Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

Arguably, this is a much better use of our resources than an Olympics could ever be.

The urban heroes you don’t know about We live with heroes in Toronto, but we don’t know who they are.

I met one, Martha Nyame, in Rexdale.

From a village in Ghana called Abosamso, she never attended school. Her family was too poor.

After emigrating to Canada, she returned to Abosamso in 1994 and saw many children that she knew faced a sad childhood like hers were uneducated.

So, she changed their future.

What was to be a family home became an orphanage and free school. In Toronto, Nyame worked two jobs and sent every dollar and box of supplies she could to Abosamso.

"Even $5 is money," she says.

More than 100 children

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto were housed and taught at Abosamso, even as fibromyalgia and arthritis advanced in Nyame to the point where she can’t work anymore.

Last week, she made an agonized decision to close the school - only 18 orphans will remain there - and I was struck by how few people outside Abosamso knew what Nyame had done for more than 20

years.

Nyame is one of Metroland Media Toronto’s Urban Heroes for 2017.

On our website, you can meet other heroes we’re going to honour next month, including Nasser Rad, who couldn’t afford a car after he arrived in Canada as an Iranian refugee; now, he gives cars away to people who need a break.

José Alberto Flores, vice-principal of a Catholic secondary school in Bloor West Village, buys breakfasts for students who can’t afford it, bringing the food to class. "Each student has a story," he says.

Sharon Nyarko is a hero too. The University of Toronto Scarborough student, who’s been depressed, made a short film, Beyond Words, to chal-

lenge misconception around mental illness and get people talking.

The needs Urban Heroes address are different, but all make the decision to do good.

Sometimes it’s because of their faith, and sometimes because they recognize people around them are human beings who need help.

They didn’t seek this recognition. We know them because friends nominated them, or readers voted for them online.

You don’t have to be a movie star or famous athlete to change people’s lives. The heroes among us prove that.

Fundraiser for hurricane Irma relief efforts A fundraiser to help with the recovery efforts in Cuba following hurricane Irma will be held in Toronto on Friday, Sept. 22.

Hilario Durán, a Cuban pianist, composer and arranger now based in Toronto, will be performing at the Association of the United Ukrainian Canadians Cultural Centre located at 1604 Bloor St. W., near Dundas Street West.

The strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, Irma ravaged parts of the Caribbean - including Cuba - and Florida earlier this month.

Durán is a two-time Juno Award-winner with one Grammy nomination.

The show will run from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Admission costs $20. All of the proceeds will go toward the Canadian Network on Cuba Hurricane Irma Relief and Reconstruction.

International Noise Benchmarking and Best Practices Report Launch

NEW LOCATION:

Join us on September 27, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Road, Etobicoke, ON, M9W 1J1

for our Community Environment & Noise Advisory Committee (CENAC) meeting for the release of our Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices Study.

What is CENAC?

Why is this important?

CENAC is a forum for discussion between the community and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) on matters relating to aircraft noise and the environmentally responsible operation of Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Toronto Pearson serves Canada’s largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area.

The GTAA is committed to managing and reducing the impact of our operations and is reviewing a range of ambitious targets and actions to reduce the impact on GTA residents. Our updated five-year Noise Management Action Plan will be released this winter following a year of detailed study and consultations. Understanding international best practices is an important step in the development of this plan.

What can you expect to learn?

In 2016, the GTAA hired UK aviation consultant Helios to undertake a Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices study. The study looked at 11 areas of noise management at 26 comparator airports around the world to identify potential new programs to be adopted at Toronto Pearson. This is the release of the report’s findings. There will be opportunities to speak with experts, including Toronto Pearson staff. This meeting is not focused on decisions around runway usage.

Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood will be transformed into an arts festival on Thursday, Sept. 28.

ArtBound, a charity that funds art-inspired programs in Canada and all over the world, will be hosting A World With Colour at 500 Keele St., near St. Clair Avenue West, from 8 p.m. to midnight.

It will be a night of contemporary eats and beats with two stages, pop-up performances, and live art and media installa-

tions, organizers said.

Tickets cost $115, and all proceeds will support ArtBound’s programs.

In 2011, they funded an all-girls arts school in Kenya. The school provides arts programming, classes and activities to the girls on a weekly basis.

They’ve also helped created programs in countries like Guatemala, Nicaragua and India.

2017 READERS’ CHOICE WINNERS CONSUMER FEATURE

Hearing aids can improve your hearing and your life

FREE

Hearing Aid Trial

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

FREE trial offer ends September 29th, 2017 21 Day FREE Trial

Hear the difference hearing aids can make. Try the latest advanced or premium digital hearing aids for 21 days, risk-free. Our hearing experts will perform a FREE hearing assessment and fit you with hearing aids suited to your loss.

There’s no cost or obligation to participate.

Nationwide coverage – Over 200 locations across the country.

Today’s hearing aids are small and discreet with innovative features that can make a tremendous difference in how you hear and how you participate in life.

The newest hearing solutions open up a world of sound that you may be missing out on. They also bring additional benefits like easy on-the-go connectivity to smart phones, televisions, music players and the Internet.

When you have hearing loss, fewer sounds reach your brain. To make sense of these sounds, your brain has to work harder to understand speech and focus on what is important. Today’s hearing aids do this automatically so you enjoy a richer, more natural hearing experience.

You may notice a decrease in listening effort and an increase in your ability to remember what people say to you, even in challenging listening environments like restaurants and social gatherings.

experience the many advantages of today’s advanced hearing aids and ListenUP! Canada, a Reader’s Choice Winner, offers demo days and free, no obligation hearing tests to help you get started on your hearing health journey!

Not sure if you will be satisfied with To schedule a free hearing appointment, hearing aids? You owe it to yourself to please call 1-888-894-6552.

The Shoppe Communities thrive when you support local businesses Minimum wage increases have everyone worrying about how small businesses are going to survive. However you can make a difference with your everyday decisions about where to spend your money. From the coffee shop in the morning, to the landscaper for your garden or the restaurants and the retail stores you go to, you can choose to support a local spot.

To make your community a vibrant one, consider spending your dollars locally. Here are three reasons why it pays to support small businesses where you live.

1. Uniqueness. When you’re asked to name your favourite restaurant or café in your neighbourhood, it’s often a unique local business. A one-of-a-kind store is able to capture the flavour of your community and cater to its distinctive tastes and needs — something impossible for a big box retailer to do.

2. Better service. When you connect with a business owner directly, you can feel the difference. They are more invested in your happiness and work to personalize your experience.

It doesn’t take long to think of an example of a business that knows you by name and re-

members what you like. Plus, most small businesses will special order items for you to keep you coming back.

3. Stimulate the local economy. When you support local businesses, you keep dollars within your community and an abundance of job opportunities are created. It can also attract a range of other local businesses and residents to the area. Mobile payment company, Square, helps people participate in their local economy by making it easy and affordable for small businesses to accept a range of payments.

$15 minimum wage will ’hurt women’: Ontario Chamber MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Ontario’s Liberal government is just "pretending" to help vulnerable low-waged workers with its Bill 148, says a representative of the province’s largest business group.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce claims 185,000 jobs could be lost over two years if the bill and its minimum wage hikes passes this fall.

"This is ultimately going to hurt women," since most minimum-wage earners are women, Ashley Challinor, the Chamber’s policy director, told members of the Scarborough Business Association.

Ontario’s labour market is changing. Self-serve kiosks at stores and movie theatres are eliminating lower-wage jobs. But people disagree on whether

people earning minimum wage - 30 per cent of working Ontarians - will be hurt or helped more by raising it to $15 an hour by 2019.

Challinor said small businesses will react to the province’s timetable by cutting employees, while large ones will speed up automation.

"With Bill 148, you’re making it harder to employ people. Employing people is kind of against the trend right now," she said during a Sept. 13 Small Business Administration meeting at Centennial College.

Challinor said the Chamber, which will release a detailed report on Sept. 26, believes small business owners will be hit hardest and should write or call MPPs with their concerns.

In an interview, Deena Ladd, a spokesperson for

Toronto’s Workers’ Action Centre, said the Chamber "sees it from one side only."

Going, as the government plans, from $11.40 per hour to $14 on Jan. 1, and $15 in 2019, will lift people out of poverty, boosting spending and creating jobs, she argued.

There will also be a spillover effect which should lead to pay increases for people making up to $19 an hour, Ladd said.

How to handle this "differential" above minimum wage worried some owners at the Scarborough meeting, including Adam Watson, a partner in Pristine Property, a local landscaping company with 165 employees.

Watson said employees he’s paying $17 or $18 will want raises, setting up a "domino effect throughout our company."

Ontario Chamber of Commerce policy director Ashley Challinor speaks to members of the Scarborough Business Association on Sept. 13 about the Ontario government’s Bill 148 and its potential negative effects on businesses. increases haven’t made him reduce his workforce, he acknowledged.

"It’s this 32-per-cent increase that is alarming."

The province’s own Fi-

nancial Accountability Office reported on Sept. 12 moving to a $15-wage would mean a net loss of 50,000 jobs.

Ontario’s Progressive

Conservative party, meanwhile, stated its support for $15 an hour which left some SBA members disappointed while continuing to call the government’s schedule for increases too fast, and warning this will lead to either lay offs or higher consumer prices.

Ladd said the Chamber is "fear-mongering," and employers who feel they must pay "poverty wages" should take a hard look at themselves.

Wages have stagnated "because people haven’t done the right thing," and $15 an hour is barely above the poverty line in Toronto, she said.

"I think people aren’t believing the hype."

Brad Duguid, a Scarborough MPP and Ontario’s economic development minister, said the province’s economy is booming, and the changes in Bill 148 won’t upset Ontario’s international competitiveness.
