The new owner of the Swansea Royal Canadian Legion building plans to turn the space into a yoga studio, with a promise to

retain and restore its heritage elements. The work is well underway – and the construction is piquing the interest of passersby. In fact, as new owner Richard Parrott was onsite this week,

a longtime Swansea resident stopped to ask him what his plans are for the historic building. Parrott said he welcomes the inquiries and invites people to stay informed and get involved by visiting a website

he has created. Parrott first came across the legion building on the online Multiple Listings Service (MLS) after its members put it up for sale in September following >>>PLAN, page 19

The Friends of McCormick Park are taking a page out of the Scadding Court Community Centre’s ‘Business in a Box’ book to deliver a much-needed amenity in the 1.5 hectare park near Dufferin and Dundas West streets.

DiNovo sets sights on OMB and electrification of Union-Pearson line Staff photo/LISA RAINFORD

Davenport MPP-elect Cristina Martins, here at Nova Era bakery, says she’s particularly passionate about education in Ontario.

Martins promises to be accessible to residents Liberal Martins nudges out NDP incumbent Schein LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Four days after being elected the new MPP for Davenport, Cristina Martins admits it still feels a bit surreal. “It feels good. I’m very excited to get started,” said Martins at the Portuguese bakery, Nova Era, at Bloor Street West and Dovercourt Road, Monday afternoon. She and her 106 MPP colleagues will officially start their new term Wednesday, July 2 and Martins said she’s looking forward to working for the residents of Davenport, a community that welcomed Martins and her family when they first arrived in Toronto from Portugal in 1970. She says she’s very connected to the community; it’s where her family business is situated, where her kids play soccer and attend Portuguese classes. “I grew up here. It’s like coming home,” the Liberal MPP-elect told The Villager. As she campaigned doorto-door, Martins said local residents told her they were upset that an election was called. The Liberal budget, she said she was told, was

“progressive and pragmatic” and contained elements that would be beneficial to not only Davenport residents, but to those across Ontario. Martins admitted she was happy an election was called because it gave her the opportunity to get started campaigning sooner than later. She said she owed it not only to herself, but to those who voted for her previously to run again. Education is an issue she said she is particularly passionate about. “As the mother of two young boys – eight and nine and a half – I’m involved in their school. I know educa-

tion is very important. It’s a stepping stone in their future,” Martins said. It is important that the government continue to invest in teachers and resources, particularly for those students who need a little extra help learning. “I always told people (while campaigning), I can’t really make any promises because I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but what I will promise is that... there will be accessibility to me,” Martins said. Martins said she admires Premier-elect Kathleen Wynne for her integrity, her compassion and passion for representing Ontario. She said she was particularly impressed that after being heckled during an event, Wynne invited that person onto her tour bus to discuss the person’s concern. Martins said she would like to thank everyone who voted for her. “I’d like to let them know I’m here for whatever issue comes up,” she said.

Retains seat after close race with Leblanc LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Parkdale-High Park MPPre-elect Cheri DiNovo said she’ll hit the ground running to build on her proven track record of getting results at Queen’s Park. Her approach will be to “keep on keeping on,” the veteran politician told The Villager the morning after she was re-elected in a close race to win her third term in the legislature. The two big issues she’s been addressing for some time are eliminating the Ontario Municipal Board’s (OMB) hold on the Toronto’s planning department and electrification of the Metrolinx Georgetown South line and Union Pearson Airport Rail Link. Both issues remain concerns for Parkdale-High Park residents, she said, according to what she heard while campaigning door-to-door. DiNovo said she’s anxious to get back to Queen’s Park this fall to re-table the OMB Bill and to meet with the new transportation minister. Seven years ago, she first tabled a motion to free Toronto from the OMB. The OMB, she said, is an unelected and unaccountable board that has the power to override local community consultations and the City of Toronto Planning department. DiNovo said her strategy this election was to simply remind voters of what she has accomplished over the past eight years. DiNovo garnered 18,264 votes while her opponent, Liberal candidate Nancy Leblanc, wasn’t far behind

MPP-elect for Parkdale-High Park, Cheri DiNovo calls her victory a win for social justice.

with 17,775 votes. Her win Thursday, June 12 came with a feeling of relief, DiNovo said. “A sweep like that – some get swept under,” she said. When asked if the close race was due to a leadership battle, DiNovo told The Villager the outcome was a result of strategic voting. “People were very, very frightened and good things never come out of fear,” she said. “But what we met at the door was nothing but love.” DiNovo said she ran a campaign not of fear and promises, but of a proven

track record. DiNovo called her victory a win for social justice. While a Liberal majority will now rule at Queen’s Park, DiNovo has no qualms about that. “I have been the queen of the tri-party bill, I can work with everyone. We will get things done and that is all I really care about.” DiNovo said she is grateful for all the support throughout the campaign. “It means so much,” she said. – with files from Erin Hatfield

ith last week’s majority government win by the Kathleen Wynne Liberals in the provincial election, her party has been given a strong mandate by voters in Toronto and surrounding areas to make transit a top priority over the next four years. Her victory can also be interpreted as strong support for the Metrolinx Big Move transit plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) which was first introduced under the Liberal government of Premier Dalton McGuinty back in 2008. The election of Rob Ford as Toronto’s mayor in 2010 and a Liberal minority in the 2011 provincial election saw transit become highly politicized. Talk on how it would be paid for and the debate between LRTs and seemed never-ending. our view subways In the last year, though, we have started making decisions Voters should on our transit future and how to for it. The provincial, city and expect action pay federal governments agreed on an extension of the Bloor-Danforth on transit subway from Kennedy station to the Scarborough Town Centre. The city approved a property tax increase of 0.5 per cent to help pay for its portion. Yet, it comes up repeatedly as a municipal election issue with mayoral candidates Olivia Chow and David Soknacki saying the Scarborough subway extension should be scrapped in favour of an LRT. As was mentioned at a mayoral candidates’ debate this week, discussion of a Scarborough subway extension should be finished. Every Liberal MPP elected in Scarborough supports that subway extension, and made it a key part of their campaigns. Any thought that this could now be changed with a new mayor of Toronto or change in councillors cannot be accepted by Wynne and her majority government. The same goes for a number of other transit plans across the Greater Toronto Area. Voters are expecting transit action from the Liberals. Wynne’s party took away seats from the only PC (Doug Holyday in Etobicoke-Lakeshore) and three NDP incumbents in Toronto due in no small part to her transit plans. The Liberals also gained seats in the 905 communities around the city including Newmarket-Aurora, Durham, Burlington and Halton. Wynne now has an opportunity to take that mandate and do the right thing when it comes to transit expansion across the GTHA.

column

Giorgio Mammoliti amuses himself at the expense of others P

arkdale is not a “pedophile district”. Deputants who come before city hall committees asking programs be spared are not de-facto communists. A secret cabal of left-wing Toronto councillors have not been wiretapping the councillor from Ward 7. I could go on for an entire column, correcting the fanciful and offensive assertions that have fallen from the lips of Giorgio Mammoliti over the years, and if I did, it would, I suspect, be an entertaining column, in a low-comedy kind of way. But like so much low comedy, it would simply underline the same point: Mammoliti, who is one of the longer-squatting denizens of Toronto council’s lunatic fringe, is kind of creepy. If it weren’t for our cracksmoking mayor doing the heavy lifting, Mammoliti could even be an international embarrassment for

david nickle the city

this town. Of course, one person’s international embarrassment is another’s local-boy-made-good, and Mammoliti’s constituents in northwestern North York have been happy enough with his behaviour to send him back to city hall over and over. Mammoliti’s remarks and actions are all calculated to stoke an oldee-tymee suburban-urban grievance, using as his accelerant a deep social conservatism that frankly mirrors the mayor’s. It’s not surprising, then, that as the municipal election campaign gears up, Mammoliti should choose to wind things up with that business about “pedophile districts.” Parkdale is an interesting

and vibrant community these days, but a couple of decades ago it was known as a place marred by crime and drug abuse – much as many people still regard Mammoliti’s own Jane-Finch community. So. Deride a community that’s got a rocky history, and just for good measure throw pedophilia into the mix, and suggest the local councillor is representing their issues over the safety of children. It is classic Mammoliti game – one that he’s been playing since 1995, when he left a one-term stint on Bob Rae’s NDP backbench at Queen’s Park to join former mayor Mel Lastman’s North York Council, then went to Toronto council as amalgamation took hold, theatrically tearing up his NDP membership card and walking into the Liberals’ loose embrace. Mammoliti became well-known mostly in the

breach – his lack of discipline when it came to spending his office budgets, his limelight-seeking behaviour (remember the time he took off his shirt in a scrum to protest the clothing-optional beach at Hanlan’s Point?), his demagogic mischief-making and his changeable loyalties. Which all, as I may have mentioned earlier, points to one truth: Mammoliti is kind of creepy, and he seems to revel in it; it is a game to him. For the rest of us, it’s a shame. Because the Mayor Rob Ford follies aside, when our neighbours speak about the dysfunction and absurdity of Toronto city politics, they are thinking in large part about Giorgio Mammoliti – amusing himself with verbal pugilism, at the expense of almost everyone else.

Your community health centre DID YOU KNOW... We are afﬁliated with the University of Toronto, and mentor and teach 800 medical trainees every year.

For admitted patients coming through our Emergency Department, wait times have gone down by 4 hours. We also helped more of our complex patients get the care they need beyond the hospital by getting them a bed in the community, leading to a reduction in what we call “Alternate Level of Care” days.

We serve patients of all ages, in our main clinical programs including Women, Children, Family Health and Chronic Disease Management; Emergency, Mental Health & Addictions; Medicine & Seniors Care; Surgery & Cancer Care; Diagnostic & Therapeutics; and Interprofessional Practice.

There’s more to us than what you see along the Queensway. Our new patient wing, Our Lady of Mercy, is home to our brand new Family Birthing Centre and modern patient rooms.

Babies born in our Family Birthing Centre Daily stats for 2013-2014 ﬁscal year.

PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY & INNOVATION We’re constantly striving to improve the quality of the care we provide at St. Joe’s, and part of that involves embracing innovation and new technology such as our big shift to an Electronic Patient Record. Over the past year, “eCare” has been changing the way our teams provide patient care. New mobile devices and our state-of-the-art Electronic Patient Record system recently brought computerized physician order entry and electronic clinical documentation to every bedside for our inpatient units such as Medicine and Surgery. It’s just one way we’re improving care in a modern, innovative way.

ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY We spent the last few months speaking with hundreds of St. Joe’s staff and community members face-to-face about what services they want us to provide and the broader role we should play by the year 2020. We also saw fantastic community support at our Foundation’s great annual lineup of events, such as Cycle 4 St. Joe’s and the Toronto West Halloween Fest, which brought together people from across Toronto’s west-end neighbourhoods to raise support for the work we do every day - and gave us all the chance to have a bit of fun, too.

CREATING THE BEST PATIENT EXPERIENCE Our goal at St. Joe’s is to make each patients’ experience as positive as possible. With that in mind, we have been working closely with our 10 Patient and Family Advisors over the last year to gain feedback on how we deliver care. We’ve also been building exciting initiatives geared towards getting our frail, elderly patients home sooner - and helping renal patients like Flynn Ramirez (shown above) conduct their regular, life-saving haemodialysis treatments in the comfort of their own home. By thinking outside the box, we’re creating a better patient experience.

A TEACHING & LEARNING ORGANIZATION We take pride in our role as a University of Toronto afﬁliated teaching hospital, and the strong partnerships we have with educational institutions across the GTA and province. Every year, 800 medical students, residents and fellows and over 150 interprofessional education students from a wide variety of health care professions choose us for the unique learning opportunities we provide as an urban community hospital. We are helping to teach the next generation coming up in the world of medicine - and all of this knowledge and new skill beneﬁts the care patients receive.

Group looking to install container in the fall >>>from page 1 McCormick Recreation Centre, however, commercial food cannot be prepared there because of a venting issue, Cypher said. The Friends looked into capitalizing on the snack bar at the McCormick arena, but its board wasn’t receptive to the idea. A few months ago, Bailã o approached the group about Scadding Court’s community engagement economic development project that it initiated four years ago. “We’ve taken shipping containers and modified them into market stalls,” said Kevin Lee, executive director. “We have 17 businesses operating out of shipping containers.” These businesses at Dundas West and Bathurst streets include retail, food, an inorganic market and many more. “We rent them out for $11 to $24 a day so people are able to start a business. To try to rent something in Toronto is really expensive. That’s why we set this up,” Lee said. Scadding Court also hosts community events at its market place, like TED (Technology, Entertainment

“

We rent (the containers) out for $11 to $24 a day so people are able to start a business. To try to rent something in Toronto is really expensive. That’s why we set this up. – Kevin Lee, executive director, Scadding Court Community Centre

and Design) Talks and movie screenings. It is because of Scadding Court’s success with its market place that the councillor approached Lee to share his expertise. Earlier this month, Lee was instrumental in helping Friends set up a shipping container at McCormick Park to showcase the potential for a shipping container cafe during Bailão’s free compost day. “We’ve had a number of meetings with Ana Bailão and the Friends of McCormick Park,” Lee said. “We’re looking at installation for September in time for a harvest festival.” Co m m u n i t y m e m b e r s a re intrigued, said Cypher, who has

lived near the park for the past 10 years and has been a part of Friends of McCormick since its inception in early 2012. “It has a lot of support,” she said. The launch of the pilot project will coincide with the completion of the park playground’s retrofit. Construction is set to begin soon. Its footprint is expanding both east and west. There will be a new water-sand play area and a climber for older kids as well as an accessible swing and other accessible play options. Low-impact sport equipment, such as a pull up bar, will be incorporated for adults. A free library, near Brock Avenue, is set to open anytime. As for the shipping cafe, it will take a number of months to get a sense of what its hours will be and who its customers are, Cypher said. “We are trying to get local entrepreneurs from marginalized communities involved,” she said. “Like Scadding Court, we’re trying to make this a social enterprise.”

world cup

Excitement stirs as World Cup kicks off in Brazil Insidetoronto.com has your World Cup coverage The World Cup is off to a roaring start in Brazil with a number of surprising results that have had Toronto soccer fans either cheering joyfully or shaking their heads in frustration. The tourney opened Thursday afternoon with host Brazil scoring the

game’s first goal into their own net. After that, Brazil recovered and went on to win 3-1 over Croatia, setting off cheering in a number of Toronto neighbourhoods including Little Portugal. Fans of Portugal itself w e re n o t c h e e r i n g o n Monday, though, as their

team fell 4-0 to Germany. On Friday, the tournament forged an even stronger link with Toronto soccer fans as Jonathan de Guzman, who grew up in Scarborough and played with the North Scarborough club until he moved to Holland at age 12 to further his soccer skills,

was in the starting-11 for t h e Ne t h e r l a n d s g a m e against defending World Cup champs Spain. The Dutch easily won that game 5-1 with de Guzman on the field until the 62nd minute when he was substitute out. There’s still plenty of games left to come in firstround Group play at the tournament, which wraps

up next Thursday, June 26. n For a full World Cup schedule, go to http://bit. ly/1lBkWsz n Games today (Thursday, June 19) are Colombia versus Ivory Coast, Uruguay versus England, and Greece versus Japan.

Plan contingent on changing building’s zoning designation >>>from page 1 several years of dwindling membership. Parrott purchased the legion in October and took ownership in February. “I’m a big believer in preserving properties like these as they are a part of a city’s or a community’s history,” he told The Villager. “Reinventing these old properties also gives a community real character. This particular legion was one that I had brought both my dad and older brother to and who were both veterans. Both have since passed, but it is a nice memory and thought knowing that I’ve been given the stewardship of the property now.” Initially, Parrott wanted to restore the legion as a single-family residence with a garage in the lower level. However, the city prohibited access to the proposed garage and so, he decided to switch gears. Meanwhile, Parrott had been receiving several inquiring calls from those who had rented space at the legion in the past. The lower level, the former ‘club room,’ is in “wonderful shape,” he pointed out. And so, for these reasons, Parrott thought a yoga studio would be a fitting use for the space.

“The thinking was that it would be a quiet and healthy use that the community would embrace and welcome,” Parrott said. “So far we have had an overwhelming positive response from the area residents.” Parrott has joined forces with veteran yoga instructor Michael Siddall to launch Studio Swansea at the Legion, but there is a hurdle they must first overcome. According to the city, the property is designated and zoned residential. “Consequently (the city is) currently not recognizing the existing legal non-conforming use that the legion had enjoyed for so many years since it was in existence prior to the current zoning,” he said. Parkdale-High Park Councillor Sarah Doucette explained that the legion was zoned as an assembly hall, which permitted occasional events, such as weddings and dances. “The problem is, (Parrott) wants to have a permanent business run in the building,” Doucette said. “He needs to request a ‘change of use.’ He may get it, he may not get it. It’s a fairly simple process. We’ve put him in touch with the proper people at the city. He’s on the right track.”

Staff photo/LISA RAINFORD

Richard Parrott (left), the new owner of the former Swansea Royal Canadian Legion, is in the midst of a project to restore the building and has plans to open a yoga studio with veteran yoga instructor Michael Siddall (right).

Doucette said she’s happy with the direction Parrott is taking with the building. Legion members were careful

about who they sold the building to, said the councillor. Parrott was chosen out of three buyers in part because he promised to maintain

and restore the building. He has kept that promise and has embarked on the restoration project that includes the installation of a new ceiling that respects the heritage of the building, maintaining existing windows, rewiring the building to code, maintaining and restoring the old bar into a reception counter and adding bicycle parking. Should the city continue to press the zoning issue, however, Parrott said the property may instead have to be developed into a more “conventional manner” of new homes, townhomes or condominiums. “I certainly do not want this and know the area residents do not,” he said. “We have to get the city on side.” So far as many as 70 people have signed a petition in favour of the yoga studio. While the focus will be on yoga and pilates, the building will provide community space for potential meetings, art gallery showings or similar events. There is no plan to offer it for entertainment, weddings or the like, the new owner said. For further details or if you would like to sign the petition, visit www. studioswanseaatthelegion.com

GO adds more weekend trips for summer travel

City council backs off banning parking on grass in Toronto parks

With spring turning into summer, GO Transit has added more weekend Lakeshore line train trips. Additional morning and evening trips are planned for both the Lakeshore east and west lines on Saturdays, while Sundays will see six new eastbound and seven westbound trips added to make the number of trips on both days the same. Starting Monday, June 30, GO is also adding two more weekday morning trips for Barrie line riders headed to Union Station. Check www.gotransit.com for more information.

WOMAN CLIMBS UNDER SUBWAY TRAIN A bizarre event unfolded this week at Chester Station when a distraught woman apparently climbed under a subway train and refused

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT to budge The incident took place on a busy Monday morning and suspended Bloor-Danforth line service for a short time between Chester and Yonge station. In a tweet, TTC communications chief Brad Ross said the woman had climbed under the train and staff cut power to the station. A short time later, Ross tweeted that the woman, who has not been identified, was successfully extricated from under the train and receiving help.

SPECIAL PRIDE PARADE TTC PASS available The TTC is offering a special pass for attendees of this

year’s Pride Parade as part of Toronto’s hosting of World Pride festivities, a global celebration of LGBTQ communities that starts Friday, June 20. For the parade weekend, June 28 to 29, a unlimited pass is available for groups of up to six people with a maximum of four children. There are also individual weekly passes available which are on sale now. The TTC also unveiled last week a plaque commemorating World Pride to be permanently displayed outside Wellesley station. GO also announced it will offer more train trips on the day of the Pride parade, Sunday, June 29. Rahul Gupta is The Villager’s transit reporter. His column appears every Thursday.

Grass parking used for large events like ribfests, film fest Toronto council has backed off a ban on parking in non-designated areas of city parks. The ban was recommended by the city’s Parks and Environment Committee, as a way to protect turf and parkland from damage from cars. But the ban caused problems for groups such as the Canadian Film Centre, which uses parkland parking for a signature fundraising barbecue event during the Toronto International Film Festival. The film centre, which operates out of the E.P. Taylor estate on Bayview Avenue, needs the parking for at least some of the guests at the barbecue. “This is a one of a kind institution in Toronto and across the country and it’s a critical

part of the film industry and we need to do what we can as a council,” said Don Valley West Councillor Jaye Robinson during debate June 13. “Once a year they have an event where for three hours people have to park on the grass. Without this fundraiser they’d have a very challenging time.” Also affected are ribfest events across the city.

“I think it’s critical in certain parks we’re able to park on the grass,” said Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford. “The ribfest over at Centennial Park, there’s not enough parking there. If we expect people not to park on the grass we better give them an alternative parking lot to park in. It’s not just about ribfest, it’s about numerous events. This is about economic development.” Council approved an amendment by Peter Leon, that would set criteria for allowing parking in city parkland. Parking would not be available if other parking were available within the area, or there were options to park elsewhere and be shuttled. As well, the availability of public transit and impact on the natural environment would be taken into account.
