Pam McConnell’s husband Jim is flanked by their daughters as the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto hosted a celebration of the life of the longtime city councillor on Sunday.

Pam McConnell: council’s ’elder stateswoman’ DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Pam McConnell was Toronto Council’s "elder stateswoman," a powerful anti-poverty advocate and local leader who stood up to police, and stood up for the com-

munities in the east end of Toronto’s downtown core since before amalgamated Toronto began. She died July 6 at age 71, from complications arising from a lung issue, while Toronto Council was attempting to finish a marathon meeting before its

summer break. Her colleagues didn’t finish the agenda. Minutes after word reached them, the meeting recessed and reconvened only briefly, for words from Mayor John Tory. "Pam was a friend to all of us

but also a friend to many, many others and of course was a wife, a mother and a grandmother - and how proud she was of her family," Tory said. "But we knew her, as well, as a woman who proudly

Bad things happen when

old clothes & recycling get together.

When you throw the wrong items (like clothing, curtains, blankets, etc.) in your Blue Bin, they can get tangled in sorting machines, damage equipment and cause workplace injuries at the recycling facility. Last year, an estimated 45,000 tonnes of garbage was incorrectly put into recycling. That’s a big problem you can help fix.

GAME CHANGERS

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Gone are the days of hailing a taxi, phoning in a hotel reservation, lining up for movie tickets and using cash for purchases in a boutique store. Now you can do it all with the touch of a screen thanks to innovations like Uber, Airbnb, Amazon or Netflix - to name a few. Call them the game changers; they’re shaking up society, altering our lives at an exponential rate. "We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another," predicts professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum. "The transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before." Digital technology has already fuelled dramatic changes. Now, Schwab says, the "fourth industrial revolution" is on its way, shaped by a fresh new wave of innovation. Here’s a look at how these disrupters could impact our everyday life.

How we shop Marc Saltzman’s wife, Kellie, dropped him and his son off at Canada’s Wonderland recently. By the time he realized he’d forgotten his wallet, she was gone. It could have been a disappointing day, but Saltzman, a technology expert and author, had a smartwatch. He paid for the day with a tap of his wrist. Mobile payment is just one way game changers are transforming our lives. Soon, Saltzman says, we

MORE COVERAGE: Would you rent your parking space? See page 4 could: • order a product, have it drone-delivered to our door, ID verified by photo and a receipt sent via email. • order plans for a product and create it in our own home with a 3D printer. • don a virtual reality headset or sensor gloves to browse stores and try on clothes at home; or walk through a mall with augmented glasses that overlay digital info about the product and whether it’s cheaper somewhere else.

How we spend our leisure time The travel business has been upended with the influx of online booking sites and rating services like TripAdvisor. Now the sharing economy including Airbnb, VRBO - is chipping away further, leading to disputes over municipal bylaws and local neighbourhoods engulfed by transients and tourists. At the same time, allyou-can eat, buffet-style services are disrupting the en-

tertainment world with services like Spotify and Google Music, ebooks and video-game streaming. Next, Saltzman predicts, cars with data plans will link you to the strongest nearby tower, streaming content via an antenna atop your car.

How we get around Speaking of cars, do you really need one anymore? Uber - connecting drivers and riders - and Zipcars renting cars by the mile or minute - allow us to travel a la carte. And if you do own a car, you may not need someone behind the wheel in a few years. This leads to new possibilities, says Saltzman. "We can make money with our car while we’re not using it - letting it drive other people around. Things are going to get pretty exciting." But not everyone’s excited. The trucking industry is one of many traditional industries sounding alarms over upheaval and job loss.

Where we work A fleet of autonomous trucks, driving across Europe last April, gave a hint of what’s ahead. Andrew McAfee, co-founder of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, warns that trucking could be one of many industries where traditional middle-class jobs are at risk. In its report Age of Disruption, Deloitte Canada warns the majority of Canadian businesses are not prepared for looming rapid advances in key technologies and will not survive. Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship reports that nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do can be automated using existing technology. But some, like Newmarket business owner Attila Vinczer, are optimistic about our ability to adapt. Repetitive assembly jobs in his tool-and-die plants are moving toward automation, but he still views himself as a job creator.

"I still hire, but the jobs are different and require different skills like computer expertise and ability to maintain the machines, work websites and social media." No one aims for a hollowed-out plant that runs itself, he adds. "There’s a responsibility among business owners to ensure the workforce is prepared and adaptable, because if no one’s able to make a living in this brave new world, if everything’s automated, who will buy the products?"

How we adapt How does one cope, then, in a world where everything is changing? Experts say the "soft skills" will be essential, but Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto, warns those are the skills we are most in danger of losing, as we isolate in our silos of convenience, plugged into smartphones, live-streaming individual movie choices, interacting in superficial ways on social media, no longer chatting with cashiers or strangers in bank-teller queues. Kids, especially, aren’t learning skills like small talk and conversational

INNOVATION IS DISRUPTING OUR WORLD

turn-taking, he says. Older generations may worry about how they’ll keep up, while younger ones struggle with expectations. Professors lament that students expect them to be available 24-7; employers say young new hires expect to be promoted to management in two years because that’s how quickly the rest of the world works. From smarthomes to smartphones, we are eager to trade off privacy and security in exchange for convenience - but is that really so smart? Joordens suggests we should prepare ourselves for this fast-changing world by forcing ourselves to slow down and carving out regular digital-free times for "mindfulness." Sheila Embleton, a professor and former provost at York University, agrees. "Those things that have always stood people in good stead will continue to: critical thinking, being adaptable to change, able to have good relationships. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt. When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better."

Would you rent your parking space? HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Known as the Airbnb of parking, the Toronto-based firm Rover Parking is changing the way people think about where they park their car. The cellphone program has a similar concept to Airbnb. It pairs drivers looking to park in the city with an unused parking space in a nearby driveway for a fee that’s 20 to 30 per cent less than a nearby lot. The app is the brain child of Torontonians Grant Brigden and Tom Wootton. The duo has been running the company for just over a year and a half. Although the model is still in its infancy, it’s already had more than 50,000 downloads and roughly 2,000 driveways on board and offering up parking in Toronto. "We’re really focused on driving supply. The key is

to get people to understand that there’s not an easier way out there to make some extra money without doing much," said Brigden. "Some of our top spots are making enough money to even pay for their car lease. "They’re making $400500 a month, which is more than their vehicle (payments). The driveway you have could essentially pay for the car you drive." The app builds on the popular notion of the sharing economy, which has people finding new ways to profit from things they aren’t using on a regular basis by renting it out or sharing with others. Those interested in posting their driveway or spot simply have to sign up, either on the website or through a downloadable app, list their spot, provide a picture of the space and a detailed description. Then those looking for parking can open up the map pro-

vided on the app and head over to the desired space. As a user offering the space, you also have complete flexibility about when the parking is available and for how long. There’s even the option to check out on average how much income space in your neighbourhood can make in a month. The app has expanded to Montreal and parts of the United States. The company is working with the mayor of Barrie, Jeff Lehan, on a pilot program to help find a technical solution to the city’s parking problem by listing residential and commercial parking spaces that sit empty. The program could stop the city from building costly parking garages with taxpayer money "We’re looking to change the style structure of mobility parking that people are so accustomed to," he said.

and energetically and enthusiastically served her city and the people of Toronto for more than 35 years. I don’t think there’s any question whatsoever that Toronto is a better and fairer place." Born in England, McConnell first entered Toronto municipal politics in 1994, when she was elected to represent the east end of the old City of Toronto on ex-Mayor Barbara Hall’s Council (prior to that, she had been a longserving Toronto Public School Board trustee since 1982). When Toronto amalgamated with the other five municipalities in Toronto, McConnell found herself elected alongside the late Jack Layton, sharing a ward to represent communities in Cabbagetown, Corktown and Riverdale. Like Layton, McConnell

was a New Democrat - but when New Democrat David Miller ran for mayor in 2003, she backed Barbara Hall. When Miller won, McConnell became a staunch Miller supporter and for a year between 2004 and 2005, took on one of the most challenging portfolios at city hall: she chaired the Toronto Police Services Board, during one of the most divisive times in the service’s history. The board was deeply divided politically, recalled Alok Mukherjee, who was appointed to the board when she took over and eventually succeeded her as chair. "We had a very fractured board - the media called it a dysfunctional board," recalled Mukherjee. "There were only six people and it was split right down the middle, and they were not talking to each other. Having Pam with her political and strategic skills was very im-

she did so using a community consultation process, and also her knowledge of the city as a local councillor. Bill Blair, a reformer whom she had dealt with in 51 Division, was the choice. McConnell also led the way in implementing re-

forms to the way that the police dealt with sexual assault, and finally helped Mukherjee get his legs as board chair, serving as his vice-chair until she stepped down from the board. McConnell earned the respect of her colleagues on Toronto Council on both sides of the aisle. She was one of three deputy mayors appointed by Mayor John Tory, and led the city’s poverty reduction strategy. She was also instrumental in negotiating the compromise position on the alignment of the east-end Gardiner Expressway. And she has remained beloved by progressive councillors. "Pam McConnell is the elder stateswoman of city council," said St. Paul’s Councillor Josh Matlow. "She has been a mentor to so many of us and has always fought for her community while thinking of

the interests of the entire city. She’s been a tireless advocate for local priorities in her ward, for architectural and cultural heritage, a steward for the St. Lawrence neighbourhood and has so much institutional knowledge that has made the newer councillors, better councillors." Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks said she has made a large impact on the city - through her work in improving Jamestown and Regent Park. "Pam McConnell is someone who’s devoted her entire life both in government, and out, to building a better and more just world," he noted. "Through her work as a teacher, work as an activist, work in the co-op movement and her work on council, Pam has always worked to build a world where every child has as complete a set of possibilities for their future as possible."

ABOUT US

We must learn to adapt to game-changers It’s long been said the only constant is change. All one needs to do is examine the pace at which new technologies are altering our daily lives to recognize that the age-old phrase is truer now, perhaps, than it has ever been. Consider that in a relatively brief span of time, hailing a taxi, booking a hotel reservation over the phone, and renting a movie at the video store have all become things of the past. Instead, more and more people get a lift via Uber, secure a place to stay through any number of hotel booking websites or Airbnb, and rely on internetbased video streaming services, such as Netflix, to watch films or catch up with their favourite television shows. If you think those innovations are something, buckle up, because many more are on the way. These socalled game-changers are heralds of what professor Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum, calls "the fourth Industrial Revolution". What will the next wave of innovations look like? Well, experts envision being able to receive your online purchases via drone delivery, having the power to buy plans for an item and 3D-printing it at home, and even visiting a store from the comfort of your home thanks to virtual reality. You can also expect the "sharing economy" to not only persevere, but increase in the future. As much as many of those developments sound exciting, they, and others, possess the potential to cause substantial disruptions for existing industries. For example, the trend toward increased automation will directly impact many of us, with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship estimating nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do could be at risk of being replaced by technology. As with any seismic shift, one can view what’s coming as a crisis or an opportunity. And, while it won’t always be easy, it’s likely best to take the latter view as resisting change of this magnitude is most likely futile anyway. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt," professor and former provost at York University Sheila Embleton says. "When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better." She’s right. We can’t always control what changes and challenges will be thrown at us, but we can control how we react. Like the dinosaurs, our choices will essentially boil down to evolve or else.

Doomed strip plaza is part of a big change Toronto’s suburbs were built around strip plazas, and those plazas, practical though they are, have begun to die. In Northwest Scarborough’s Bridletowne area, a developer is knocking down a nine-unit commercial building and building a stack of 60 townhomes where it stood. "The strip mall is a vision that needs to be replaced," says Marco VanderMaas, the project’s Dutch-born architect. VanderMaas sees BT Towns as part of a wave of intensification that must come. With many city neighbourhoods priced out of reach, there’s a "missing middle" for housing, a gap between detached houses and "boxes in the sky," he

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto says. Meanwhile, land costs for strip malls are up, and many see less business. People drive farther to get their bag of milk. Suburban councillors are often hostile to townhouse developments, because older constituents usually are. Sometimes, clumps of towns bordering single-family subdivisions are accepted grudgingly,

with one to three bedrooms, will bring in more families, and there’s room. Also, neighbourhoods change, and mindsets do too. "I always think more neighbours means a more vital community," says VanderMaas, a devotee of the urbanist writer Jane Jacobs. "Is everybody gonna love it? No." VanderMaas argues citizens are obliged to say what they do want, not just what they don’t. Otherwise, he says, they’re hurting their neighbourhood’s evolution. BT Towns got their zoning amendment. Many like it may follow. Reach Edges columnist Mike Adler at madler@insidetoronto.com

since mid-rise condos seem more threatening. The now-doomed plaza on Bridletowne Circle seems normal enough, with a variety store, cleaners, other useful shops. Unsurprisingly, residents wrote to oppose the project. Wouldn’t this worsen traffic, some asked. A decade ago, longtime Bridletowne homeowners hit the roof when condo towers were proposed nearby at the listless Bridlewood Mall. But it was clear the area, greying and suddenly classified as a "priority" neighbourhood, needed new blood. VanderMaas knows people used to Bridletowne’s layout - single-family homes and towers - will think BT Towns too crowded. He argues the units,

COMMUNITY

One of the good ones Pam McConnell was a good councillor, and a good person. That might seem a redundant thing to say, in the week after the 71-year-old councillor for Ward 28 (Toronto Centre-Rosedale) died. Her goodness as a person was evident - manifestly evident - in the loving tributes that came from her former colleagues, from those whose lives she touched. Her goodness as a councillor is evident in her legacy in policy at the city and in the urban form of her downtown ward. Still, both observations are worth repeating. Because she was good - and while goodness is not uncommon in those who go into public service, it is far from universal. Pam McConnell spent a lifetime setting the bar, and setting it high. As a journalist, I first encountered McConnell as the dust was settling in the forced amalgamation of To-

DAVID NICKLE The City ronto. She had prevailed in a rough-and-tumble election where wards were represented by two councillors, and she shared her ward with Jack Layton. She’d been at it for awhile - a city councillor in the old City of Toronto since 1994, and for 12 years before that a trustee on the old Toronto Board of Education. But, next to Layton and Olivia Chow and Howard Moscoe and the other higher-profile members of the 56-member Toronto Council’s NDP caucus, McConnell was easy to overlook. For a while.

Over her career on Toronto Council, McConnell got a great deal done. In St. James Town, amid the concentration of highrise low-income housing, there is a library and a community centre that would not likely be there were it not for McConnell’s dogged, decade-long fight to put one there. Regent Park, Toronto’s oldest public housing neighbourhood, might not have undergone its massive reconstruction into a mixed-income neighbourhood without her advocacy. In 2004, McConnell took over the chair of the Toronto Police Services Board during the tumultuous departure of Chief Julian Fantino, hired Bill Blair to replace him, and also pushed much-needed reforms into the way police dealt with sexual assaults. Pam McConnell did good work, and she was good while she did it. We’ll miss her, now she’s gone.
