Cyclists urged to help search for missing Dufferin Grove woman Catherine “Kit” Currie was last seen Aug. 15 riding her bike ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

Toronto cyclists are being urged to join the search for a missing 50-year-old woman.

Catherine “Kit” Currie, a resident of the Dufferin Grove neighbourhood, was last seen at about noon Aug. 15 at Queen and Bathurst streets.

Longtime friend Mary Neumann said Currie left the area on her bike and seemed depressed.

“She’s never ever been missing before, so we have no sense of what happened to her,” Neumann said. “She’s a wonderful person.”

Family and friends have mounted a poster and social media campaign to locate Currie, an artist and life model.

Her sister Jenny Currie-Roy is also calling on cyclists to get involved.

“Hop on your bike anywhere in the GTA, wear a green T-shirt and go look for Kit,” she said, adding she’s offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who finds her.

Currie is white about five-feet four-inches tall, 155 pounds with long reddish brown hair and brown eyes. Her black hybrid bike

has black fenders and a green milk crate on the back. A bike matching the description was recently found in downtown Toronto; it’s not yet known if the bike is in fact Currie’s.

“She usually wears a very distinctive necklace,” said Currie-Roy, noting her sister is an animal lover, an environmentalist and is very spiritual. still in toronto?

There was a credible sighting of Currie on Bayview Avenue south of Eglinton Avenue at about 1:15 p.m.

Saturday. A man said a woman who looked like Currie walked up to him and asked, “Can you spare some change. I need to get back to my family in Ottawa.” (Currie’s elderly parents and a brother live in Ottawa.)

“We have been postering

up in that neighbourhood and doing our best to get more information out,” Neumann said.

On Tuesday night, volunteers searching nearby Serena Gundy Park found a fire pit that they believed may have been assembled by Currie.

“We need to start a foot search,” Currie-Roy said.

“Kit is a nature lover, she’s not likely to be wondering around the streets of Toronto.

She’s very resourceful in the woods.”

About 20 people have been heavily involved in the search with dozens more volunteering for an hour or two. mental health concerns Neumann said Currie had a breakdown about two years ago but she reached out to friends at the time and got better. “She did become paranoid, so we’re a bit concerned she might have had another episode,” Neumann said.

“Her son was worried that she’d been hearing voices and told her she had to go to the doctor the day before she went missing.”

Currie-Roy said she’s convinced her sister is dealing with a mental health issue. “ T h e re’s n o w a y s h e wouldn’t be calling home after all these days and not feeding her cat and not being in contact with her son. She would never do this to us.”

City chips away at Sunnyside Pavilion restoration project To be complete by fall 2015 Work continues on the Sunnyside Pavilion restaurant and patio this summer.

Cyclists, runners, in line skaters and lake front visitors have had to find an alternative rest spot and a place to grab a bite.

The project involves concrete restoration of the pavilion, courtyard landscaping, roof repairs, public washroom renovations and safety improvements. The pool and public change rooms will remain open throughout the project. The public washrooms are currently open, but will be closed during phase 2 of the project, starting next spring.

Built in 1922, the pavilion is designated a heritage building and therefore its restoration must be done carefully. According to historical records, the original function of the pavilion was to provide changing facilities for

swimming in Lake Ontario, however the lake was often too cold and so an adjoining public swimming pool was built in 1925. The pavilion was renovated in 1980 to provide updated changing facilities and a café along the beach as well as a garden.

Officially opened by thenMayor Charles A. Maguire on June 28, 1922, the concrete building cost $300,000 to con-

struct. Each wing was comprised of an outdoor changing area, lockers and showers – the women’s side on the east and men’s on the west.

A rooftop patio had room for as many as 400 people.

The restoration project is scheduled for completion in fall 2015.

I

n this week’s papers and online (bit. ly/1pCC7MZ), we take a look at nine key ward races to watch this municipal election year, but truth be told every ward across the city is an important one to watch.

There are ward races with high-profile name recognition (Michael Ford, nephew of mayor Rob and councillor Doug, in Ward 2), some with no incumbent (Ward 20 and 39 with the departures of Adam Vaughan and Mike Del Grande, respectively) and then there are rematches (Paula Fletcher versus Liz West in Ward 30, and Maria Augimeri versus Gus Cusimano in Ward 9).

Regardless of whether you live in one of these ones-to-watch wards, it is the responsibility of every Torontonian to make their our view wards the most important ward to watch leading up to vote day, 27.

Election will Oct. Although candidates have been pick up steam at it since Jan. 2, the last day to file nomination papers is Sept. come Sept. 11 11, at which time the races really begin.

And for those few weeks leading up to election day, it is the responsibility of every Torontonian to ask their local candidates important questions about themselves, and what they plan to do for the ward. Because, after all, it’s what happens in your ward that impacts you the most every single day.

Transit, development, safety, green space, visioning studies, the list of issues that could potentially impact one or every ward across the city are many.

But what’s key to your neighbourhood, your ward may not be the same as the ward next door. That’s why it’s important to not be too distracted by what’s happening elsewhere in this municipal race.

Keep your eye on the local prize.

The race to become mayor is always the hotbutton topic, and the one that gets more play in the papers, but the mayor is only one vote on city council – no different than your local councillor. The administration’s vision may come from the mayor, but when it comes to voting, each councillor’s vote counts.

Councillors will fight for what is good for their ward; they will raise issues the city needs to hear; and they should speak on behalf of their constituents. Make sure they do, and that you keep them accountable after they take office.

Pennachetti operated smoothly through turbulent times at city hall

S

ix years ago, Joseph Pennachetti came to the job of Toronto city manager abruptly and definitively. David Miller, mayor at the time, stepped out of his office to talk to reporters about the departure of Pennachetti’s predecessor, Shirley Hoy. Scarcely after thanking Hoy for her service, Miller announced that Pennachetti – Toronto’s chief financial officer – would be Hoy’s replacement. There were some formalities to be observed. For one, Toronto council had to vote on the matter.

But Miller said that council would do so, and, speaking as a mayor at the height of his influence, he was right. Pennachetti stepped into the city’s top job easily, in a smooth transition in the middle of a term, with a mayor who had confidence in him.

Pennachetti ran a

david nickle the city smooth bureaucracy even through the somewhat rougher transition to a very different mayor in Rob Ford, and the tumultuous years of his term as mayor – through a time when it was unclear that there was anyone in charge politically.

It’s hard to imagine another bureaucrat being able to manage something like that as gracefully as Pennachetti – which is why the timing of his departure, to fall between the Oct. 27 municipal election and the convening of the new council – is such a gift.

Deciding who the new city manager is will, as a result, be among the first orders of business for the 2014-2018 council and mayor.

As such, it will give

council and the mayor in particular, the opportunity to choose a city manager who will mesh well with the political mandate that Torontonians will have granted.

It’s a lot to ask of a brandnew council, which will have a number of greenhorn councillors blinking in the light and possibly a brand-new mayor who’s never done this kind of thing before. But a sympatico city manager will be essential for the job ahead.

Because it’s going to be a tough job, one way or another.

At the end of this year’s budget deliberations, Pennachetti warned council that in coming years it will have little choice but to raise property taxes at rates higher than the rate of inflation. Pennachetti said the bureaucracy has cut as much as it can without affecting core services.

Tax increases or other new sources of revenue are going to be the rule, to keep the city functioning.

There will be more pressures as well. At some point, the real estate market in Toronto is going to slip, and when that happens, the city’s lucrative land transfer tax is going to start to dry up. If certain mayoral candidates prevail, taxpayers will also have to finance a costly subway through annual property tax levies.

Council will be responsible for all this. They will need a bureaucrat that understands their mandate, understands city finance and gets the value of public service.

And as Pennachetti will be otherwise occupied, the sooner they find a replacement the better.

programs seeks noise wall artists wart

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT A city art program is looking for submissions to create an art project for segments of a future “noise wall” along the Georgetown South rail corridor.

Along with Metrolinx the StreetART initiative, also known as StART, is holding a competition to find visual artists to conceive designs for three noise walls to be located in the city’s west-end, at Douro Street near a planned Liberty Village pedestrian bridge, Sudbury Street south of Queen Street West and on the east side of Dufferin Street north of Queen.

Submissions must reflect the character of the neighbourhoods they’ll be in and the finished art will be maintained for at least five years, the group said in a statement.

Artists have until Sept. 22 to submit proposals.

A TTC board member is imploring city council to quickly approve a planned bus garage on TTC-owned land near Kennedy Road and McNicoll Avenue.

Josh Colle’s motion asks council put aside an unexpected decision by the city’s planning and growth management committee earlier this month to defer consideration of the bus garage plan until 2015, and instead approve the project’s environmental report and send it the province for further consideration.

There’s been longtime opposition to the plan from local residents fearful of traffic and other impacts, Council is scheduled to debate the matter at its meeting this week.

Maidan experience expected to be ‘emotional, provocative and uplifting’ >>>from page 1 area where protesters gathered for a peaceful demonstration,” Holiad said.

The large, walk-through area will allow festival-goers to get a feel for aspects, such as the medical tent, the kitchen tent, the barricades, the “famous” blue-and-yellow piano, and some of the supplies for which Canadians are raising funds to send

to Ukraine, she told The Villager.

The interactive exhibit that will feature a “yolka,” the Christmas-tree-shaped metal structure that became one of the symbols of the Euromaidan movement and a foundation for displaying handmade posters, Ukrainian and other national flags and European Union symbols.

It will feature a discus-

sion area, a Wall of Poppies in remembrance of the fallen, as well as videos, a children’s colouring area, and Maidanrelated photos and art.

“The experience will be emotional, provocative and uplifting, and we’re proud to be able to present it this year with the assistance of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress Toronto Branch’s Euromaidan Committee,”

Holiad said.

The exhibit will take place at Glendonwynne Road and Kennedy Avenue.

The Ukrainian Museum of Canada – Ontario Branch will once again create and host the Ukraine Pavilion that will include antique costumes, handcrafts, kylymy (carpets) and other treasures from the Central Dnipro Region. This year, the Ukraine Pavilion can

be found on the second floor of the BAKA Gallery & Café in the heart of the festival grounds.

The Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival is a free, three-day familyfocused event that attracts as many as 600,000 visitors of widely diverse cultures from Canada, the United States and abroad.

Annual highlights include,

the parade, two stages featuring international and local performers, food, an outdoor refreshment garden, cultural displays, a sidewalk sale, a children’s midway, the interactive ‘teach me to dance’ area, a film festival, vendors, street dances and more.

Home buyers weigh in on ‘urban vs suburban’ debate The proverbial debate of ‘city versus the suburbs’ is in the forefront for many home buyers. It’s also an exploration that can lead to decisions about the type of home you will ultimately buy. Here are some key considerations:

Condos Deliver Choice From the post-war era to the early 1980s, the detached home was the leading choice for homeowners across the country. Then came the so-called ‘condo boom,’ which was largely fuelled by lifestyle changes and efforts to curb urban sprawl. The availability of condominiums as a form of home ownership has resulted in new options for those looking to live closer to the downtown core in urban centres.

Census figures for 2011, released in February 2012, showed that multi-unit dwellings, a category that includes condominiums, makes up roughly half of all new housing stock, truncating the lead traditionally held by detached homes. Home buyers are continuing to flock to urban centres as a whole, choosing to live both in the core and the outlying suburbs in both detached homes and condos.

While today, there is an abundance of home-types in both the core and the suburbs, still the place where you choose to live usually comes down to two considerations: the number and age of those who will occupy the home, plus the lifestyle choices of the occupants.

Easy Commute vs. Room to Grow The decision of urban versus suburban is often focused on the time saved in commuting compared to the benefits of space to grow with a young family.

While urban dwellers can benefit from shorter distances to work and the luxury of walking to cultural attractions and restaurants, on the flip side, many families genuinely prefer living outside the city core.

As suburban communities continue to grow, walks to local amenities such as coffee shops or bakeries become feasible, as does working close to home with many businesses now basing their locations in the suburbs.

Baby boomers were expected to downsize in droves from their large suburban homes over the past decade. That largely hasn’t happened, for a

couple of reasons. Young adults are leaving the nest later, compared to the postwar period when people in their late teens and 20s were inclined to strike out on their own. Economic challenges for today’s ‘echo’ boomers are causing baby boomer parents to hang onto their larger homes in the suburbs longer and to shrug off the expected move to downsize closer to the core. Also, baby boomers are the wealthiest generation in Canadian history. They live in large homes with ample space for their many possessions. They love their garages and their yards.

Financial Considerations The choice of urban versus suburban is a very personal one, and there are definitely benefits for each.

Attentive agents will advise clients making such decisions to look beyond lifestyle and commuting. They need to work out detailed budgets to consider the costs and savings of both alternatives. For example, although a detached home in the suburbs could be less expensive than a similar home in the core, a close examination of commuting costs and property taxes can be the deciding factors for many people.

St. Jacob’s Mennonites restored the old chemical fire engine >>>from page 1 permanently in the station’s front garden.

In December, fire Capt.

Greg Schultz took the handdrawn engine to St. Jacob’s where the Mennonite company Cleason B. Martin Buggy Wheels and Hitch Gear restored the existing metal hardware and replaced the wooden wheels. About month ago, Schultz retrieved it from the rural town, just north of

Waterloo, where he was given strict instructions.

“They said, ‘Don’t paint the wheels. Soak them in linseed oil,” said Schultz at fire station no. 423 during an official rededication of the engine, Thursday, Aug. 21. “So, we’ll get linseed oil and swab it on. They did an exceptional job.”

The ceremony brought out the likes of politicians, Parkdale-High Park Councillor

Sarah Doucette and MP Peggy Nash, who both said they experienced first-hand what it’s like to go out on a call when they participated in a ride-a-long with the Junction fire team.

As Doucette and Nash helped tear the official rededication ribbon, both shared their appreciation for the Junction fire station and its neighbours, the Junction Business Improvement Area

and Residents Association, who were instrumental in ensuring the engine’s restoration.

“I’m thrilled to see it done,” said Doucette and I’m thrilled to see it looks amazing.”

Understand the changing needs of seniors Services for seniors offered through Toronto Central CCAC As the population ages, the needs of those entering their senior years change. Between additional healthcare concerns and day-to-day support, older Canadians require a range of services not previously needed, even a few years before. With more frequent health-related appointments and in some cases, hospital visits, it’s important that those in their advanced years have access to the care and support they need to live their lives comfortably and with dignity.

Some areas of assistance required by seniors include: • Personal Support – Includes access to assistance with meal preparation, grocery shopping and general day-to-day needs • Home Care – Includes occupational therapy and rehabilitation, general nursing care • Community Supports – Meal delivery, pharmacy support, transportation assistance For the elderly, the thought of seeking out and finding these various services may seem daunting, with many unsure of where to start. Some may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of researching then connecting with the appropriate agencies for the support that they may require Fortunately, there are options that allow seniors to access the

specific assistance and support they need. Through the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), seniors can access help to live independently in their communities, through home care and referral to specific local programs and services.

A call to the main number at (416) 506-9888, connects people with knowledgeable staff who can start the process of providing information and referrals (where required) to local community services. Some of these include: Home Care Support – After a hospital stay, seniors may require additional medical care or assistance with activities such as bathing or meal preparation.

Online Support – The TorontoCentralHealthline.ca is a onestop repository of information about community services and supports and includes a Health Library, Caregiver Exchange and Stroke Resources.

Medical and Healthcare Referrals – The Care Coordinators at Toronto Central CCAC work closely with primary care doctors and family health teams.

Seniors in need of a referral can be easily connected to an appropriate practitioner.

Specialized Services – Support for special needs related to Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, stroke recovery, palliative care and convalescent care can also be arranged.

Supportive Housing – Sometimes a move to a retirement home or a housing situation that is geared towards seniors is the best option for someone with advanced age. Families and loved ones looking for assistance in this area can call the CCAC for information and support.

Referral To Long-term Care – For family and loved ones of seniors who are in need of longterm care, a call to the CCAC will provide the information and resources required to make the move to a new living environment.

Young soccer players learn skills with freestyle stars Toronto High Park FC present a special soccer clinic for its Under 14 Girls and Under 15 Boys house league teams at Rennie Park, Sept. 3 and 5.

Two freestyle soccer champions will teach the teen players how to improve their skills, confidence and ability to “master the ball.” These champions will show their young charges a combination of ball control and creative

thinking.

“This is an age when we want to keep the kids interested in the sport,” said Toronto High Park FC president William Buckingham. “This is an age when they’ve discovered other interests.”

This clinic is in addition to another initiative offered by the club: a onehour speed training clinic during

which players were taught how to retrain their bodies to run faster.

The speed training clinic focused on strength and explosive power training and general body conditioning.

These freestyle soccer stars are often seen at Toronto FC games. They are not unlike the Harlem Globetrotters, an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theatre and

comedy, said Buckingham.

There’s a key phrase in soccer and that’s ‘first touch.’

“The way you first touch the ball – whether it’s off your head, shoulder or knee – is so important. It makes a world of difference,” he said.

special feature: race to watch WARD 17 - DAVENPORT

Campaign of experience vs. fresh take Four candidates are vying for the ward 17 council seat; will incumbent Cesar Palacio successfully fend off third-time candidate Alejandra Bravo? We lay the scene...

LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com

W

ard 17’s incumbent says he’s proud of his track record of fiscal responsibility and his ability to speak up on behalf of constituents, yet his opponents charge it’s time for a changing of the guard, particularly because of his allegiance to the mayor.

Alejandra Bravo is once again vying for the Davenport council seat in the Oct. 27 municipal election against veteran politician Cesar Palacio and hopes the third time will be the charm.

“We need a change in leadership,” Bravo told The Villager.

“When I saw how closely the councillor here has aligned himself with Rob Ford and his agenda, I thought it was important to step up to the plate.”

Bravo was just shy of a couple hundred votes behind Palacio in 2006. Since then, those who know her through her years of community involvement encouraged her to run again.

“I think it’s important for the city to use its power to reduce inequality and poverty and I think it hasn’t been doing that,” Bravo said.

“Particularly, I’m concerned about jobs; we have a high unemployment rate, a very high youth unemployment rate and there’s a lot more the city can do to open up pathways to work.”

Another major concern in Ward 17 is transit, which Bravo said residents have told her as she campaigns door-to-door.

“The cuts we’ve seen to bus service in particular is the wrong way to go. That bus service should be restored and expanded,” she said.

“The Dufferin bus is the mostused bus line in North America.

The decision to continually go to riders for higher fares for worsening service is terrible.”

Palacio has been a familiar face in municipal politics for more than 30 years. As councillor, he has had extensive experience advocating for the neighbourhood and its residents – which works in his favour, Bravo said.

“However, I think people are looking for a

youth of Toronto,” said Fraser. “We hope there will be more investment for supports for youth.”

ACROSS THE CITY

Ward 2: Etobicoke North

W

ard 2 Etobicoke North is the race to watch to see if name recognition is all it takes to get a seat on city council. Polls indicate that twentysomething, Humber College student Michael Ford, nephew to Rob and Doug, leads the race, with Rexdale native and financial planner Andray Domise coming in second. Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum Research says name recognition, however, only goes so far. The Ford brand isn’t untarnished and Michael Ford has kept a low profile so far in the election, with his uncle Doug saying there’s no reason for him to speak to reporters. In order to beat the Ford brand in north Etobicoke, pundits say candidates need to do a “huge amount of grassroots, streetlevel, door-to-door canvassing” to get their own name out there.

Here’s a synopsis of eight other key races taking place across the city. For the full writeups, visit http://bit.ly/1pCC7MZ

Ward 9: York Centre

I

t’s a rematch in Ward 9 between incumbent Councillor Maria Augimeri and businessman Gus Cusimano, which saw the former almost losing her job in the 2010 municipal election by less than 100 votes.

Augimeri, who has represented the area for three decades, held onto her seat by 89 votes four years ago.

A court challenge to try to have the election overturned by Cusimano ensued. He initially won the challenge but then lost on appeal. He was then charged with breaching the Municipal Elections Act by voting for himself in a ward he did not reside in. He pled guilty and agreed to a $1,000 fine.

Also running are Anthony Fernando, Danny Quattrociocchi, Ances Hercultes and Wilson Basantes.

Ward 12: York South-Weston

Ward 18: Davenport

Ward 20: Trinity-Spadina

T

hree candidates have so far signed up to run in Ward 12 - York SouthWeston in the upcoming 2014 municipal election on Oct. 27.

Longtime incumbent Frank Di Giorgio is running again in the riding he’s served in since 2000. Before the city’s amalgamation, Di Giorgio was a North York councillor first elected in 1985.

It will be Nick Dominelli’s third time running for Ward 12, finishing second both in 2010 and 2006 by less than 500 and 2,300 votes, respectively.

Lekan Olawoye, who’s built a strong local profile as executive director of For Youth Initiative for the past six years, will also be on the ballot to represent Ward 12.

T

he ward’s current councillor, Ana Bailão, has been leading the charge in Ward 18 for the past four years and will battle it out with a set of new candidates this year.

In the last municipal election, Bailão defeated her closest rival for council, Kevin Beaulieu, by 1,366 votes. Of the 10 registered candidates so far, nine are candidates who didn’t run in the 2010 municipal election.

Issues surrounding development, transportation, and green space are key in the ward.

Ward 18 is known to have a high Portuguese population according to the 2011 Canadian Household Survey, which plays well for Bailão, who is Portugeuse. However, the riding is changing quickly, and the average household income is growing.

Located just west of the downtown core, Ward 18 runs from Dovercourt Road to Dundas Street West, north to Dupont Street, with its most southern point at King Street West, Davenport is a vibrant area of the city.

W

Ward 26: Don Valley West

Ward 30: Toronto-Danforth

Ward 39: Scarborough-Agincourt

T

W

W

he race for Ward 26 – Don Valley West features four registered candidates so far, and a re-match between two candidates who finished just over 400 votes apart in 2010.

The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Leaside, Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Heights and Wynford and takes in parts of East York and North York.

Registered to run are incumbent John Parker, who has held the seat since 2006, and challengers Jon Burnside, Ishrath Velshi and David Sparrow.

In the 2010 election, Parker beat Burnside by 415 votes.

Prior to being elected ward councillor in 2006, Parker, a lawyer, was MPP for the York East area from 1995 to 1999. Burnside is a former Toronto police officer, who has been involved in the ward through both his job and coaching youth sports.

Velshi has served as executive assistant to Parker at city hall, and most recently as executive assistant to Ward 34 Don Valley East Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong.

Sparrow is a longtime resident and president of the Alliance of Canadian Cinema Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).

ard 30 – Toronto-Danforth, is going through a period of significant change and its next representative will need to both be able to mitigate those changes and the impacts they’ll undoubtedly have on the ward, while juggling the expectations and demands of city hall.

Improving transit both in Toronto-Danforth and the city as a whole as well as finding the best balance when it comes to development pressures are key election issues this time around in Ward 30.

This election race promises to be an exciting one this time as three-time incumbent Paula Fletcher is running for a fourth term.

She won the last election in 2010 by just 259 votes against television personality, Liz West.

West is also running again.

Jane Farrow, a journalist, former executive assistant to Ward 32 councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon and founding director of Jane’s Walk, is also trying her hand at representing Ward 30 as is Dan Trayes, Francis Russell, Kim Diep and Mark Borden.

ith former councillor Adam Vaughan leaving the municipal scene to join the Liberal Party of Canada as MP for TrinitySpadina, the race for the council seat in Ward 20 has attracted a full slate of candidates.

The ward is one of the city’s most diverse in terms of neighbourhoods, from the artsy, primarily low-rise Annex community to a growing number of highrise condominiums downtown.

It has seen its share of change in recent years, including an overhaul of the entertainment district, massive condo development and the rapidly redeveloping waterfront.

Other issues that have captured the public’s attention include a proposal for a weatherproof dome at Central Tech, a proposal to build a Walmart near Kensington Market – which led to extensive community consultation on stronger development controls along Bathurst Street, and the fight over the expansion of the Toronto Island Airport.

Whoever wins the election race will have their hands full representing their constituents’ disparate wants.

ith the decision by veteran incumbent councillor Mike Del Grande to step down earlier this year, the race for the Ward 39 – Scarborough-Agincourt council seat features a number of high-profile candidates.

Running for the seat are Christopher Blueman, Cozette Giannini, Clayton Jones, Jim Karygiannis, Franco Ng and Patricia Sinclair.

Collectively, the candidates have deep community roots and a wealth of political experience.

Karygiannis served as the area’s MP for more than 25 years before resigning his federal seat earlier this year Blueman, who grew up in the area, served four years as a councillor in Sundridge, Ont., before moving back to Scarborough.

Sinclair has been actively involved in numerous city issues, mostly related to transit service in Scarborough.

Ng worked as an assistant in Councillor Del Grande’s office.
