MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto whatever hours an agency gives her. For now, that’s two part-time jobs in a North York retirement home. A few years ago, she took a payday loan. "I was not making enough hours. I couldn’t meet the bills." Auguste borrowed $300. The lender charged her $45 in fees, and she still had to pay back $360, but did. Auguste now prefers to use her credit card when short of funds, but says some people don’t
even have that. The payday industry describes two customer personalities, the ALICE, or Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed - in other words, the working poor and the ARTI, Asset Rich, Temporarily Illiquid, who use the loans as "interim financing" for unexpected expenses. Auguste is an ALICE, one of many. Her $11.25 minimum wage comes to $1,500 a month after taxes. Her husband, also working for an agency, gets $11.25 hourly at a food lab. "Our rent is already $1,200. What can we do to pay the rest of the (bills)?" she asks. For people offering you work, it’s a game, says Auguste. "While you work like a horse or a donkey," she adds, they’re happy to give you $11.25, "because the government says that’s what your work is worth." Payday lenders are just a symptom of something larger.

After nine years in Scarborough Village, Maranatha Auguste knows a lot of people who take payday loans, and she considers them "the best business ever." "It’s an addiction," says Auguste. "There’s people that go there every week." Friends and acquaintances returning to the cash shops - the bright red, yellow, or green storefronts now so common in Weston, Downsview and other parts of Toronto - never get to use their own money. "By the time they get paid, they don’t have no money left," says Auguste. The province on Jan. 1 forced payday lenders to cut the maximum $21 interest they charged for a short-term $100-loan down to $18. But imagine that interest piling up if you can’t pay the entire loan back, plus overdraft charges. That’s what payday lenders want. A personal support worker and mother of two, Auguste works
years of experience in front-line patient care, and for many, from ongoing continuing education. A 2012 RNAO report concluded the medical knowledge of registered nurses (who have a four-year degree), and nurse practitioners (who have a degree plus postgraduate education) has not been fully utilized. As RNAO CEO Doris Grinspun said,"Now registered nurses and nurse practitioners can become a huge solution to health care access issues, not only for people, but for complications and system ineffectiveness." In Britain, nurses have been prescribing medication for 15 years, Grinspun noted. Alberta and Manitoba is moving toward developing a prescribing role for registered nurses. It makes sense for Ontario to do the same. Registered nurses on social media asked if increased responsibility and liability will be accompanied by a pay raise. Some nurse practitioners argue, since they already prescribe, why not focus on their scope of practice first? Prescribing medication is a serious responsibility. The Ontario government’s move to amending the legislation must be met with the education required to protect patient and nurses alike. Allowing nurses to use their wealth of knowledge could be just the prescription needed to benefit patients and the Ontario healthcare system.

AN ALICE AMONG TORONTO’S PAYDAY LENDERS
We’ve almost all been there at one time or another. Your child has an earache or your parent in a long-term care facility has a bladder infection. Patients with these conditions can wait hours for treatment, sometimes at an already-busy hospital emergency department. Could authorizing nurses to prescribe drugs for non-complex conditions make the Ontario health-care system more efficient and effective? The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) thinks so, and the Ontario government agrees. This month, Metroland Media was the only Toronto media outlet to report the Ontario government is preparing to amend the Nursing Act to authorize registered nurses to prescribe certain drugs for non-complex conditions and to communicate a diagnosis. If approved, the changes would also authorize nurse practitioners to prescribe controlled substances. "Increased access to health care, improved outcomes and a better patient experience - all are direct results on investments we’ve made and hard work done by nurses and others," Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins said in a statement to Metroland Media Toronto. RNAO has been lobbying for years to expand the practice scope of Ontario’s 96,000 registered nurses. Registered nurses bring a wealth of knowledge gained from

ment committee; Coun. Michelle Holland (Ward 35 Scarborough Southwest); and city manager Peter Wallace, the mayor’s advocate for the innovation economy. The Civic Innovation Office will be housed within the city manager’s office and apply technology, data analysis

new approach to problem solving within government," said Mayor Tory in a press release. "I look forward to working with Bloomberg Philanthropies, city divisions and our civic technology community to launch this exciting new Civic Innovation Office." The office is fully funded through Bloomberg Philanthropies, a collective that works to address pressing urban challenges to improve the quality of life for local residents. Recently, Bloomberg selected Toronto as the first Canadian city to join its global network of Innovation Teams. The office actively collaborate with other Innovation Team grantee cities, including Anchorage, Ala.; Durham, N.C.; Austin, Texas; Baltimore, Md.; Detroit, Mich.; and Be’er Sheva, Israel. "Innovation Teams bring 21st century problem-solving skills to city hall," said James Anderson, head of government innovation programs for Bloomberg Philanthropies, in a press release. "The teams implement creative solutions by breaking down silos within city halls, engaging residents to jointly understand citizen needs and testing ideas before taking them to scale." The Civic Innovation Office will work with city divisions and agencies as required to identify major challenges to be solved through innovative partnerships with external teams, who will work through 16-week stints to deliver real solutions that can be procured by the city. The City of Toronto has begun a search for a director, project manager and design strategist to lead the Civic Innovation Office.

Historical interpreter Bruce Beaton holds photos of John Craig Eaton, son of Timothy Eaton, founder of T. Eaton Company Ltd. (left), and Henry Agassiz and his family at Mackenzie House for their Do You Know My Story project.
Do You Know My Story? Stories of T. Eaton Co. enlistees sought for Do You Know My Story? project CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com
When Private Henry Agassiz signed up to serve in The Great War in 1916, his proud portrait joined those of more than 2,200 of his fellow enlistees from T. Eaton Company’s Toronto store on the flagship’s walls. Sadly, the next time Agassiz’s name was inscribed was on the Eaton’s Memo-
rial Plaque as one of 315 company men killed overseas. Still, his story - like those of each and every one of the everyday working men and women who signed to serve in the First World War - is an integral part of Canada’s history, said Nancy Reynolds, curator of Mackenzie House
museum. "It’s often hard to tell the stories of individuals unless they’re famous or they’ve done something, but that’s what we’re trying to do," she said of Do You Know My Story? - an outreach project being undertaken in partnership between the City of Toronto’s Museums & Heritage
Services and the Archives of Ontario. The goal of the project is to tell the personal stories of those T. Eaton Co. Limited employees like Agassiz who, perhaps enticed by company owner John Craig Eaton’s offer to pay wages to his employee enl See GOAL page 11

Henry Agassiz died in the Battle of the Somme. My Story? project, which will be on exhibit at Mackenzie House starting on Sept. 29.
The names and photos of First World War veterans from Eaton’s can be found at http://

to piece together via a combination of family accounts, his military records, and an expenditure ledger from City of Toronto Archives. A Nova Scotia native, Agassiz was a 37-year-old husband and father of four - with another baby on the way - when he enlisted on April 3, 1916. Earning just $15 a month as a trimmer at Eaton’s at the time, Agassiz was older than most other enlistees at the time, and was perhaps enticed to do so by Eaton’s full-wage offer to married enlistees in order to provide for his growing family. His tragic death in France at the Battle of the Somme less than six months after his enlistment, however, left his wife Eugenie, son Alfred, and daughters Vaudine, Muriel, and Dorothy in such extreme poverty that newborn son Claude died because they were unable to feed him, according his granddaughter. At 14, Agassiz’s only surviving son Alfred was forced to drop out of high school to support the family. The Agassiz family story is a valuable piece of Canada’s history, Reynolds said, because it demonstrates the sacrifices made by so many ordinary people in extraordinary times. "His is an important story of World War I, because that was the first time that you saw such a large domestic army," she said. "These were not all (career) soldiers, so when they got home, there was that feeling for the first time that the government owed them something; that it owed the families of those killed. And that marked a real change in the way people looked at government and what its responsibilities were." Beaton is still seeking further story contributions to the Do You Know
@InsideTOnews
listees on top of their military pay, signed up to fight overseas. "We want to tell the stories of ordinary people: how they came to Canada, why they came to Canada, how they ended up at Eaton’s, what happened to them and their families during and after the war," Reynolds said. She noted that, in total, Eaton paid out $2.2 million in wages to his 3,327 Eaton’s employees from across Canada who enlisted. "It’s those ordinary stories that are so often left untold." The starting point for the project was compiling the old portraits - more than 2,000 of which survived to be displayed in Eaton’s Goes to War, an online exhibit created by the Archives of Ontario in 2014. The next step is outreach, said Bruce Beaton, who’s leading the Do You Know My Story? project. "This is a history that lives in the families of these men," said Beaton, a historical interpreter at Mackenzie House, calling on the relatives of First World War veterans from Eaton’s to come forward with information. "One of the questions I always ask the families is, what does this person mean to you in your life? And they always have some answer - be it how they sacrificed, or their duty to commit to public service, or perhaps something more personal. Whatever it is, this means something to people; the lives of these people still have meaning within their families - and that’s what I’m trying to access." So far, however, Beaton said he’s been able to collect life stories to match just 18 of the more than 2,000 Eaton’s portraits - Private Agassiz’s among them. Agassiz’s family history is one Beaton has been able
