Shelley Raymond fought to create this shared ownership home in Bracebridge for her dad and other seniors. She owns a company called Solterra Co-housing and plans to open more shared ownership homes to meet the needs of a growing number of seniors.

announced what we were doing I could do it legally, all I had to do was convince others. That was problematic," Raymond said.

She won the legal challenges at a huge cost, but her goal was never just one house.

"I knew we could do it across Canada. If I was having those problems 10 years ago, I knew the numbers would increase substantially as we moved

forward," Raymond said.

Demand for shared home ownership is picking up substantially. Raymond helped create co-housing projects in Brechin, Port Perry, and Guelph. Solterra Co-housing Ltd. just put an offer on a house in Barrie.

was born. Raymond has a background in real estate, her husband is a talented carpenter, and her dad was a top planner in Canada. They renovated the Bracebridge home and four seniors moved in, splitting ownership between them.

But it wasn’t over. The plan sparked an uphill battle with the municipality, planners, lawyers and retirement homes.

fund their own retirement.

This will require innovation, planning, and bylaw and zoning changes.

In this series, Metroland examines four options: cohousing with a stranger, cohousing with family, retiring up north in Elliot Lake and renovating your home to add accessible features with help from government grants.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) released a policy discussion paper in 2016 to recognize that the municipal sector is at the forefront of developing age-friendly communities, including affordable housing.

Michael Jacek, a senior policy adviser, said AMO hasn’t come up with specific recommendations like shared home ownership, or co-housing. And they haven’t discussed bylaw and policy changes that may be required.

"We’ve been operating more at a high-level to encourage people to do the age-friendly community planning. Creative solutions like that may be the result of some of these community plans," Jacek said.

Urban planner John Lewis, an associate professor with the University of Waterloo’s school of planning, said there are municipalities, developers, and community groups facing the wave head on. He helped develop the province’s age-friendly planning guide.

Lewis said top developers are leading the way with innovative housing solutions.

"Once they have proven the market potential for that kind of housing stock, then generally the rest of the developers will follow suit," he said.

Lewis said municipalities and community residents shouldn’t wait for the province to take a lead. Solutions will be found in grassroots initiatives, like Solterra Co-housing Ltd. "The feet on the ground literally consists of people who are residents of the communities driving these initiatives forward," Lewis said.

A

n unstoppable flood is headed our way.

Ontario’s senior population is rising as baby boomers turn 65. Within 25 years, the number of seniors is projected to double to 4.6 million. At that time, one in every four people in this province will be a senior.

While this massive wave of seniors has long been predicted, we are still ill prepared to provide housing to meet their needs.

Muskoka resident Shelley Raymond encountered this problem 10 years ago while exploring options for her parents.

"I found pretty much nothing outside of a retirement home, or long-term care, which are all booked to the nines.

And hugely expensive," she said.

The average monthly cost in an Ontario retirement home is $3,526, but you can pay more than $6,000 depending on where you live, states a 2017 seniors’ housing report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. As your health declines, you’ll fork over more money for added care.

"Retirement homes, in most cases, are profit-based and when you run out of money they will kick you out," Raymond said. "It’s already happening over and over again."

Raymond was determined to find an alternative.

Due to declining health, her mom moved into long-term care. Her dad couldn’t afford to stay in the family home, but refused to give up his independence. And Raymond worried he would outlive his money in a retirement home.

Because Raymond’s grandfather died at an early age, his son chose living life to the fullest over saving for retirement.

The responsibility to find an answer for her dad fell at Raymond’s feet because her two siblings lived far away.

Raymond was crying about her plight to a friend in a Muskoka restaurant when a solution was born. The pair was talking about shared home ownership. The idea came to Raymond after she looked worldwide for an option that could give her dad independence, affordability, and social interaction.

"A man sitting in the restaurant overheard me and he walked over and said ‘You can use my house because I have the same problem,’" Raymond said.

Kitchen wall down the norm When considering a kitchen renovation, particularly in older village homes where space is at a premium, many homeowners are opting for removal of the structural wall between the kitchen and the dining room to make better use of the main floor living area.

“The change is dramatic,” says Michael Lamarche, partner at Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms (416-833-4343, www.ikb.ca).

“Removing a wall transforms the main floor of the house from a tight and cramped area to a place where family and friends can gather and enjoy themselves in a more inviting, designed space,” he says.

Removing the dividing wall frees up space, making the living and dining room more functional. The wall down reno also allows more light to shine from room to room, making the open-concept area feel lighter and brighter.

Some customers are concerned with how a wall down renovation will affect the structural integrity of the home. Instyle takes care of everything from engineered permit drawings to cabinet styles and con-

struction to a three dimensional cabinet layout, giving the customer a bird’s eye view of what the project will look like at completion. The Instyle team has completed kitchen wall down renovations in more than 200 homes in the area.

To better understand how a wall down renovation will transform their home, new customers are encouraged to visit past customers who trusted Instyle with their renovation projects. New customers can talk to previous customers about the experience of taking on such a large renovation project and working with

Instyle Kitchens and Baths.

As an added bonus, at the time of the kitchen renovation/ wall down, many customers request that all of the existing hardwood flooring be removed.

This way, Instyle can put down a new subfloor and new hardwood.

Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms is located at 361 Jane Street. For more information on this or any type of project call 416-833-4343 or www.ikb. ca and request a no charge estimate and consultation. Please note showroom visits are by appointment only.

Metroland Reports

Four alternative housing options for Ontario seniors Metroland Media explored four housing options for seniors: co-housing with a stranger, cohousing with family, retiring in Elliot Lake and renovating to add accessible features with help from government grants.

1. GO NORTH When Barrie’s Annamarie Sugar and her husband, Don Ough, began searching for a place to enjoy retirement, they wanted a small, quiet community with affordable housing costs.

The hunt took them to Elliot Lake between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie "Barrie was a nice small town when we moved there," Sugar said. "Now, it’s just too big, too noisy, too many people."

Sugar and her husband aren’t alone in choosing the community, thanks to a marketing campaign aimed at attracting retirees.

2. FULL HOUSE For 25 years, as he and his wife, Donna, were raising their three children, Matthew Penstone’s widowed mother-in-law, Alice, lived with the family.

And then Penstone’s father, George, also moved into the family’s Aurora home.

Six years ago, Penstone’s daughter, Corrine, asked if she and her partner, Steven Gagnon, could move in to save money for a home. They also revealed they were expecting twins.

The boys grew up in their grandparents’ house before the family moved to their own home.

While there are challenges to having a multigenerational household, Penstone said the benefits have far outweighed the adjustments for his family.

4. FUTURE RENOVATIONS Sandra and Dan Sexton are doing the kind of work on their North York home that usually comes much later in life.

In their 40s, the couple is working with Ronny Wiskin, a specialist in home renovation for accessibility, through the Toronto-based Med+ Home Healthcare company.

The company assists homeowners to modify environments using universal design principles - a seven-point checklist that balances esthetics and comfort with accessibility for people who might be confined to a wheelchair, or have other mobility issues.

"It’s the design of products and environments that are usable by people of all abilities," Wiskin said.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

ABOUT US

No time for red tape on housing Earlier this year, Statistics Canada released data from the 2016 census that indicated a long predicted, but nonetheless startling change had occurred in our country’s demographics.

"From 2011 to 2016, Canada registered the largest increase in the proportion of seniors since Confederation.

This acceleration of population aging is the result of the first baby boomers reaching the age of 65," StatsCan reported.

"For the first time, the share of seniors (16.9 per cent) the share they represent of the total Canadian population exceeded the share of children (16.6 per cent). The increase in the proportion of seniors from 2011 to 2016 was the largest observed since 1871 - a clear sign that Canada’s population is aging at a faster pace."

In our news feature Senior Tsunami on insidetoronto.com, Metroland Media looked at this change and its implications on housing for the average senior. We defined average as the range from having no additional income from a company pension or RRSPs (surviving solely on CPP and OAS benefits), to having a retirement pension or savings.

In short, we focused on housing solutions for the middle-class senior; the one who can’t afford the average monthly cost of $3,526 for an Ontario retirement home (in the GTA, it is more than $4,700), but does not qualify for government-assisted housing.

We also used a projection by the province’s ministry of finance that shows the senior population in much of central Ontario will more than double in the next 25 years.

The results were frightening.

Although we have watched the baby boomers ascend the population triangle year after year, we are ill-prepared to provide housing alternatives to match their income level. Several in-depth reports by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation have forewarned of the impending crisis, but little in the form of solutions have taken shape.

The province has been silent.

In fact, we believe we are in a too-little, too-late situation for the Ontario government to show leadership on the issue of senior housing. We no longer have the luxury of time to meander the red tape of government.

What we need are community-based, grassroots solutions. Ontario could offer surplus land or closed schools for senior housing developments.

Municipalities, regional councils and provincial programs must collaborate to eliminate barriers, such as zoning and building bylaws, to pave the way for these alternatives.

We need to work together to resolve this crisis.

And with Food Banks Canada saying 45,000 seniors across the country rely on food banks each month, we need to start today.

It may be a long time before we’re over amalgamation It has been a long time since amalgamated Toronto’s first day - nearly 20 years - and there are no doubts some who think it’s time we got over it.

Pity those poor forward-thinking cynics.

Last week at Toronto council’s October meeting, Janet Davis rose to remind us that ... well ... that perhaps we need reminding.

The Beaches-East York councillor was sponsoring a request from the East York Historical Society and the East York Foundation to please include the East York logo on any street signs that might be replaced.

Of all the former municipalities, Davis reminded her colleagues, East York was "special."

DAVID NICKLE The City There was a lot of heckling from councillors who noted properly that their former municipalities were special too. But Davis has a point.

East York, it could be argued, was at once the least and the greatest of the former Metropolitan Toronto municipalities. It was geographically small; small enough that it couldn’t support even a

single enclosed shopping mall, small enough that it didn’t even get to be a city it was a borough.

But as signs at its irregular borders indicated, it was "Canada’s Only Borough." Its citizens were fiercely proud of it. When it came time to vote in illegal, Catalan-style referenda about amalgamation, East Yorkers voted ’no’ in greater numbers, and if anyone had been measuring it, surely greater volume.

When it failed, the borough’s mayor, Michael Prue, went on to be a councillor on Mayor Mel Lastman’s first Toronto Council. And he wore East York sweaters, hand-knitted by his wife.

The tradition continues, Davis told her col-

leagues.

Skateboarders come at night to paint the East York logo on local skateboard parks. Teenagers, she insists, have the ’EY’ acronym tattooed on their flesh.

The former borough’s senior citizens long for the sight of the old EY. Spending about $1,000 a year to put EY on street signs as they’re being replaced was the least that council could do.

As it turns out, no.

Council finally settled on something much larger, and overwhelmingly supported a motion from Toronto-Danforth Councillor Mary Fragedakis to blow the bank and stick up signs across all six former municipalities.

Clearly, we are not over it at all.

"I think that we have survived (30 years) because of the generosity of our donors and our volunteers," he said. "We have minimal staff and our donors and our volunteers make St. Francis Table happen for those we serve and we’re certainly grateful for their ongoing support and generosity."

Parkdale-High Park Coun. Gord Perks told The Villager St. Francis Table is "one of those places in Parkdale that without which we wouldn’t be Parkdale.

"They provide a wonderful welcoming environment," he said. "The volunteers that are there day after day and have come from all walks of life really do make a huge difference to the quality of life for people

The Toronto Field Naturalists will host a special nature walk along the Humber River to mark the 63rd anniversary of Hurricane Hazel.

Led by noted local historian and heritage advocate Madeleine McDowell, the walk will begin at Old Mill subway station on Satur-

day, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. and will follow the Humber River between Bloor and Dundas streets.

Participants will be to urged keep their eyes out both for evidence of Hazel one of Canada’s worst flood disasters - and for remnants of past cultures along the banks of the Humber.

While doing so, they might also get the opportunity to witness the salmon leaping.

The tour will end at Lambton House with tea.

Interested participants are urged to bring snacks/ lunch and binoculars.

The special event held Sept. 28 at the Royal Ontario Museum brought together the who’s who of Canada’s fashion scene for an inviteonly runway show that featured intricate ball gowns, sassy cocktail dresses, and other

whimsical frocks.

Chelsea Cox of B.C.’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University, earned top honours and went home with $4,000, while Adrian Arnieri, a recent Ryerson grad from Mississauga, came in second and received $2,000. Seneca College student Charlotte Li of Markham placed third and was awarded a $1,000 bursary.

More than 150 students from 11 Canadian design schools applied to take part in the #Canada150 theme design competition. Of the Top 16, six were from Toronto.
