Meghan Bruni’s desire to educate students extends far beyond her classroom at Swansea Public School.

Bruni, a Grade 2 teacher, just returned from a month-long visit to Kenya where she helped to facilitate the non-governmental organization Students for Education, Empowerment and Development (SEED).

The registered charity provides scholarships to students enabling them to attend high school in the African country.

They also operate a primary school in Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi, called SEED Junior Academy.

Ukrainian Independence Day marked amid continued military conflict overseas Annual event at Centennial Park includes stage show recalling country’s first freedom fighters 100 years ago

DIGITALLY REMASTERED

CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com With tensions still mounting in Ukraine, this weekend’s annual festivities to commemorate the 24th anniversary of that country’s independence here in Etobicoke will once again likely prove a meaningful, yet slightly more muted affair than in years past.

Hosted by the Toronto branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC), the Ukrainian Independence Day festival will take place on Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Etobicoke’s Centennial Park.

“We feel we need to continue the event to commemorate what it originally stood for, which was the independence of Ukraine,” said UCC spokesperson Nadia Prokopiw of the festival, which saw its name changed from Flavours of Ukraine last year out of respect for the gravity of the situation in Ukraine.

“It hasn’t been in the news as much, but the Russian army, Putin’s forces are still in Ukraine trying to capture territory and whatever it is he’s after...So it’s hard to call (the festival) a celebration given what’s going on, but we still want to commemorate the day.”

To those ends, this year’s Ukrainian Independence Day festival will once again feature a poignant stage show called Freedom Fighters – Then and Now: From Sich to ATO (Anti-Terrorist Operation), featuring Ukrainian folk dancing ensembles and vocalists.

A tribute to the 100th Anniversary of the Sich Rifles – the first and only Ukrainian military unit in the Austro-Hungarian Empire fighting against Russia during the First World War – Prokopiw said the Freedom Fighters stage show is an especially moving one this year.

“The Sich Rifles were a battalion of Ukrainian soldiers and

volunteers, and the purpose of why they established 100 years ago was because, again, they were fighting for freedom, and Russia, again, was trying to take over territory,” she said.

“A hundred years ago we had youth dying in war – that was the case then and now it’s happening again. We’ve got young men organizing volunteer (ATO) battalions to go to the front and try to help stop the Russians from stepping on our territory.”

In addition to the Freedom Fighters stage show, attendees at this year’s annual Ukrainian

Independence Day festival can also expect the usual line-up of family-friendly friendly activities in celebration of Ukrainian culture and food, including: n entertainment courtesy of two live bands on the mainstage n a Zabava dance party from 7 to 11 p.m. n the Flavours of Ukraine food fair, featuring plenty of perogies, meat-on-a-stick, cabbage rolls and kobassa n a children’s playground, with inflatable rides and a crafts area n the Marketplace packed with clothing, handicrafts, gifts and

food n beer gardens n soccer, volleyball, and chess tournaments n and the Ukrainian Idol finale “Toronto is such a great city because it’s so multicultural and everybody gets to share and explore and learn about other people’s cultures. This festival continues that theme,” Prokopiw said, noting that admission to the Ukrainian Independence Day festival – including parking – is free.

Fifty years plus a day after Help! hit Toronto screens, The Revue Cinema will present a special one-time screening of John, Paul, George and Ringo’s second feature.

This exclusive anniversary celebration Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. is made possible through the permission of Subafilms and Bruce A. Karsh, with the assistance of Londonbased Apple Corp. The Revue will be screening a remastered digital version.

Beatles expert Piers Hemmingsen, on a recent trip to London, managed to arrange for the Revue screening of this madcap James Bond satire, seasoned with references to the Marx Brothers and BBC radio’s The Goon Show, accompanied by Beatles’ music. Introducing the film are Hemmingsen, author of a soonto-be-published book on the Beatles in Canada; and film and music critic Kevin Courrier, who has written about how the Beatles’ music, even early on, presaged the darkness that lay ahead.

In addition, there will be a display of Beatles’ memorabilia from the period, all thanks to Hemmingsen and his network of Beatles fans.

Last year, the Revue’s 50th anniversary screening of A Hard Day’s Night, the Beatles’ first feature, sold out.

Tickets are $10 for members and $13 for non-members.

T

oronto summers have an ebb and flow to them marked by different events and traditions which define the season, but with the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition comes the clearest sign of all: the end of summer is approaching.

It’s part of life in the city and of being a Torontonian, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The 137th annual version of The Ex opens Friday and continues until Labour Day on Monday, Sept. 7.

The fair itself has its own traditions, including lots of wacky food creations, concerts, displays, theme days and the Canadian International Air Show to wrap it all up on the Labour Day weekend.

Toronto families carefully pick the days they will attend based on events they want to see, and those traditions are handed down the generations. You our view through can pretty much bet that if your parents made a point of going to A Toronto The Ex on the air show weekend because that’s what they wanted tradition to see, you will now be taking your own kids, or maybe even returns grandkids, to also see the air show. Others make attending on Warriors Day or for the Labour Day parade a part of their family traditions.

Respecting those traditions has been one of the reasons the CNE continues to be so successful and holds a special place in the hearts of Torontonians.

The Ex, though, is not bound by tradition as it is also the place to see the newest innovations and products. The CNE also makes sure it offers new events and experiences every year, and this year one of them is the Craft Beer Fest which takes place for the first time this summer.

Though often referred to as bittersweet for kids who start counting the days until school starts again, the CNE is far from the only thing going on in Toronto over the remaining days of summer.

Just a quick look around shows us this weekend has the Scarborough Afro-Carib Fest at Albert Campbell Square, the Tirgan Iranian Festival at Harbourfront, Ukrainian Independence Day at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, and the Tommy Thompson Park Butterfly Festival in the Beach to name but a few.

Transit isn’t the only issue on minds of Toronto voters in federal election

T

here’s a federal election coming up on the distant horizon. For now, the talk on Toronto airwaves is about criminal justice, cheques, and other matters related to the Mike Duffy trial.

At some point in the long weeks leading up to Oct. 19, one hopes that talk will centre closer to Toronto and our needs.

Earlier in the summer, Mayor John Tory held meetings with representatives of the Liberals and New Democrats, and earlier in the year spent time making Toronto’s case to the federal Conservatives. As he pointed out then, things were looking pretty good for Toronto: two of three parties were committed to funding his Smart Track transit plan, and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau appears to be waiting for

david nickle the city the right time to say so.

So really – for Toronto, there is no downside.

Well, that would be the case if transit weren’t the only story.

Toronto has other needs that only the federal government can properly meet. We could use help with our crumbling stock of affordable housing. We could do with a federally funded national child care program. And back at transit – once we get finished building a Scarborough subway along about the same route as the Smart Track plan, we’re going to need money for the downtown relief line that everyone agrees is the really crucial transit improve-

ment.

These all should be, at some point, deal-breaking or – making policies in making a rational choice for our next prime minister.

As matters are unfolding, however, a rational, Toronto-centric choice is not what will be on most Toronto voters’ minds.

If voters were taking simple enlightened selfinterest into account, then the child benefit cheques that the federal Conservatives sent out just before the writ was dropped should have had some impact on polling for them.

While it’s early days in this very long election, it’s a safe bet that voting Torontonians will be dividing along lines more familiar from the past couple of elections: Harper Nation, if you will, and the remainder

of the city looking to turf the bum out.

That divide was in evidence when Harper stopped by Etobicoke (ground zero for that other Nation) in the company of an angry, foul-mouthed man who swore at reporters and suggested they all cheated on their taxes. From another part of the city, I and other Torontonians watched the display with a horrified recognition.

Many elections ago, former Prime Minister Kim Campbell made the point that elections were no time to discuss issues.

Those things get sorted out afterwards, when we’ve all gotten the bile out of our systems.

Lisa Rainford lrainford@insidetoronto.com There is a new activity to enjoy in two Ward 13 parks – ping pong (or table tennis) tables were installed in Malta and Lessard parks this week.

When Parkdale-High Park Councillor Sarah Doucette learned her colleagues were putting them in their wards about two years ago, she took to social media to find out if there was an interest among her constituents.

“I threw something up on facebook and got quite a number of responses,” Doucette told The Villager, Wednesday, Aug. 12.

The politician was prepared to get the tables installed with what’s called a ‘cash in lieu of parks’ fund, which comes from developers that have to provide the city funds because they’re not providing park space on their development site.

Doucette cited the church-

to-condominium conversion project at High Park Avenue and Annette Street as just one example.

Upon speaking with the parks and recreation department, Doucette learned there was money in the budget for enhancing recreation across the city. The only thing required was to select the park.

“That’s when I went back to facebook to see what people wanted,” Doucette said.

◗ Wednesday, Aug. 26 Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible!

Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

TTCriders seeks members to fight rising transit fares Advocacy group seeks ‘route captains’ to solicit support RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com TTCriders wants to start a revolution.

The city’s largest transit advocacy group is recruiting volunteers to act as “route captains” to engage transit users at bus stops and subway stations, advocate for local service improvements, and lobby city councillors to speak out in favour of better TTC funding.

According to group spokesperson Suhail Barot, the recruitment drive is meant to give voice to a mass of transit

riders, particularly with transportation a key issue in the October federal election, and a TTC fare hike all but sure for next year.

“1.8 million people take transit in Toronto every day,” said Barot during an interview last week. “If we can get them engaged we can really build a movement.”

The group is planning a day of action on Monday, Sept. 13 and will canvas approximately 50 transit locations on the importance of better funding for the perpetually cash-strapped TTC, which has reported a preliminary operating budget shortfall of nearly $100 million for next year in the wake of announcements to improve and restore service to pre-2011 levels.

TTCriders has made a name for itself of late with agitprop protests and social media shaming of political figures through awareness campaigns such as #TTCsardines, which has captured the level of disenchantment by transit users.

Even elected officials are frequently

TTCriders and supporters rally against higher TTC fares at city hall in January 2014. The group is currently recruiting new members to continue its fight against transit fare increases.

spouting the group’s catchphrases and slogans.

That politicians are eager to

co-opt TTCriders’ message is a sign they understand the importance of public transit for a city like Toronto,

Barot said.

“They seem to be getting the message of the importance of better transit. And if they don’t do anything else we will hold them accountable,” he said.

Barot said the group will also continue to target the provincial government for failing to provide adequate operational funds for the TTC, which relies overwhelmingly on fare box revenue and city subsidy to meet its budget needs.

“We’ve worked to get the province to fund the TTC’s operations which they stopped doing over 15 years ago,” he said.

“You need funding to expand the system and lower fares. Funding comes from the city and it could come from the province and the federal government as well. You can’t make the system better unless the resources are available.”

Sir John A. Macdonald has name carved in stone outside Union Station The plaza outside Union Station has been officially renamed after Canada’s first prime minister.

At a ceremony held Tuesday, Aug. 18, the newly renovated space was officially christened Sir John A. Macdonald Plaza and a plaque erected in honour of the man most credited with building the Canadian Pacific Railway.

But the designation doesn’t come without some controversy given Macdonald’s role in instituting a “head tax” on Chinese migrants and his policies on First Nations people during his near-20 years as prime minister. The move itself represents a diminished plan to honour Macdonald after a city survey found many were opposed to naming the entire station after him.

FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED wANNOUNCEMENTS

Until the end of the year the TTC will test the effectiveness of pre-boarding announcements intended to assist visu-

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT ally impaired riders.

The pilot project will take place on a handful of buses on the 11 Bayview and 7 Bathurst routes. When the bus approaches a stop, as the front doors open, an external speaker will broadcast what route it serves and where it’s headed.

CLOSURES RESUME as games end wROAD

The Toronto 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games are over and city construction projects which were suspended are now set to resume resulting in more road closures.

The work includes repairs on the Gardiner Expressway, which were scheduled to get underway as of Wednesday, Aug. 19, between Strachan Avenue and Bathurst Street and will require a reduction of one lane in each direction.

Motorist concerned about traffic issues the Olympics may bring >>>from page 1 the hospital.

“They were stuck in the lane with everyone else,” recalled Pritchard in an interview with The Villager.

“They had to wait as people struggled and squeezed over (to let the ambulances pass). It’s time consuming, so if they’re delayed by 20-30 minutes because of the traffic that’s time the person isn’t receiving care.”

Pritchard, who was visiting his mother at the hospital, said he contacted the office of city councillor Mark Grimes as well as Mayor John Tory to voice his concerns.

He’s worried the city could have been potentially exposed to lawsuits as a result of the road closures.

Pritchard, who said he had no opposition to holding either the Pan Am or Parapan Am Games said he

wouldn’t have come forward with his story had the city not expressed interest in pursuing a potential Olympic bid.

“Since there seems to be some enthusiasm for the Olympics, we can’t let organizers block access to the hospital again. It’s an unacceptable risk to people’s health,” he said.

In a statement, St. Joseph’s said it was not aware of any difficulties faced by ambu-

lances trying to enter the hospital.

“In preparation for the Pan Am Games, St. Joseph’s He a l t h Ce n t re w o r k e d closely with health care partners, including Toronto Emergency Medical Services (TEMS), to ensure that any ambulances transporting patients, including those on urgent calls, would be given priority access to hospitals throughout the Games,” the

statement read.

Grimes didn’t speak to the ambulance issue directly, but confirmed his office was contacted by Pritchard as a “courtesy call” to make him aware of the experience. He said plans for traffic measures were communicated well in advance and during the Games.

“The Transportation Plan that was in effect during the Games was set out by both the

Province and the City, with delays and alternative transit options well communicated in advance and throughout the course of the Games. I do extend my sympathies to the gentleman and his mother for any inconveniences they experienced,” said Grimes over email.

Members of the Pan Am organizing committee did not respond to requests for comment.

SEED supports higher education for students >>>from page 1 have in people’s lives,” Bruni told The Villager only days after returning from Africa for the third time.

It costs each student $200 a year to attend high school in Kenya, a fee most can’t afford. Rural families live in simple mud huts, many of the children are partial or complete orphans having lost parents to such illnesses as malaria.

“Lots of kids end up living with aunts and uncles or grandparents and those people don’t have jobs.

They’re small-scale farmers, who grow food for themselves. There is no electricity or plumbing,” Bruni said.

Students attend high school from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. There are as many as 100 students in a class.

Teacher Meghan Bruni in Kenya with some of the Grade 8 students the charity SEED would like to sponsor next year.

“It’s really intense. They work really hard. They’re really focused on school. They know if they don’t focus, they won’t have a future.”

Bruni got involved in SEED

through a group of friends at McMaster University. In its inaugural year in 2005, SEED sponsored 30 students to go to high school.

Currently, it sponsors 50 students annually. Meanwhile, the organization boasts a student population of 83 at its kindergarten to Grade 3 school.

Due to a lack of government funding, Kenyan high schools must charge the annual $200 fee to pay for such things as additional teachers. SEED’s scholarship criteria includes financial need and classroom performance. SEED employs two people in Kenya, one to run the school and the other to help with the high school scholarship program.

While in Kenya, Bruni inter-

viewed 80 students for the program. Her goal is to send each and every one of them to high school next year, however, more sponsors are needed. The cost of sending a student to high school for a year is $100.

“We’re trying to invest in people in Kenya so they can initiate change in their own neighbourhood. Our goal is to have graduates give back to their communities,” Bruni said.

In support of SEED Junior Academy, an Etsy store has been set up where jewelry and crafts made in Kenya can be purchased.
