Bickford Park A WALL OF COLOUR makeover in the works ®

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Following an extensive consultation period, it looks as though Bickford Park will receive a much-needed makeover.

The park, at the corner of Harbord and Grace streets, had been the subject of some debate due to an off-leash area with limited hours. That, according to Councillor Mike Layton, sparked talks of overhauling the entire park.

“It’s not done anywhere – restricting the timing of offleash areas,” he said.

“Dog owners want to be able to take their dogs out and let them run around off-leash any time.”

The plan for the park now calls for a fenced-off off-leash area to the south where dog owners can let their pets run free throughout the day as well as in the evening.

With that issue already on the table, Layton, the city and local stakeholders decided to take a look at the park as a whole.

Another issue they tackled was the outdated and rundown baseball diamonds, which were used by local T-ball leagues, and a lack of space for un-permitted, unprogrammed activities.

“People asked why there are two diamonds in the park that are not great diamonds – not >>>CITY, page 10

School daycare looking for new home JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com After spending a quarter of a century in the cozy confines of Brown Public School, the notfor-profit Unicorn Day Care is in dire need of a new home.

Increased enrollment at the school, near Avenue Road and

St. Clair Avenue West, has forced the school to reclaim the space the daycare uses.

The organization offers preschool, daytime and afterschool programming for children aged two-and-a-half to 12, all from the school’s catchment area.

Unicorn lost one of its two

preschool rooms as of June 30 this year and is slated to lose the other next June 30.

“They have to give us one year’s notice and we’ve gotten our notice that they need the space next year,” said Unicorn Day Care director Eric Mackey.

“The growth of the school has been so significant, they need

every bit of available space.”

The daycare started up in the school in 1990, with two parttime staff members looking after 22 kids. In the years since, the daycare has grown to the point where it is now licensed for 198 kids and it has become a fixture in the neighbourhood >>>WANTED, page 2

“In my opinion, we really demonstrate how a daycare can be part of a community and part of a school,” Mackey said.

With the school filling up, Unicorn is looking for a new space in which to run its programs. Mackey said the closer the new space is to the school, the better, so as to serve Unicorn’s current families. That, however, is easier said than done.

“As a daycare, we obviously don’t have a lot of money,” he said. “There are also a lot of conditions a site has to meet before you can set a daycare up there.”

He cited safety, the need for a playground and ample space for children as some of the various needs any new space would have to meet.

“For a preschool program, each child requires 30 square feet of unobstructed space, so you’d need 750 to 850 square

“

As a daycare, we obviously don’t have a lot of money.

feet for a preschool room,” he said. “It would be nice to do a toddler program as well, which would mean another 500 or 600 square feet.”

Moving off-site could also cause the daycare to lose some clients, who enjoy the convenience of having their children’s daycare and school in the same place, though Mackey does not foresee that being a problem.

‘Good reputation’ “Our program has a good reputation and our staff is well-loved,” he said. “There’s such a need for childcare in this area, I don’t think we’ll lose many if we can stay close.”

Unicorn could still offer programs in Brown both before and after school, but that would bring about a

whole new set of problems.

Mackey does not want his staff to have to work split shifts – from 7:30 to 9 a.m. and from 3:30 to 6 p.m. – with nothing to do in between.

“If that were to happen, there’s a likelihood that my staff, who are all amazing staff, would have to start looking (for work) elsewhere,” he said.

While Unicorn will still have use of one preschool room until the end of next June, time is still of the essence when it comes to finding the daycare a new home.

Mackey has a lead on at least one other space, but has been bogged down by red tape and zoning issues, with no guarantees that space will become available.

“It can take a whole year to get something up and running,” he said.

Anyone looking to help out in the search for a new alternate site for Unicorn Day Care is asked to call 416-929-6841 or contact councillor Josh Matlow at 416-392-7906.

Doug Taylor’s book pays tribute to the movie theatres of Toronto’s past

IRIE FEST

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

Staff photos/BRIAN B. BETTENCOURT

African-Canadian Culture: Members of the TD Dancers perform during the Irie Music Festival Friday afternoon at Nathan Phillips Square. The festival showcased culturally diverse artists providing a unique opportunity to celebrate African-Canadian culture.

There is little question that today’s films differ greatly from the first moving pictures, but scant attention is typically paid to the sweeping changes made in movie houses over the past 100-plus years.

Downtown author Doug Taylor has captured many of those changes, looking at Toronto’s history as a movie hub, in his new book Toronto Theatres and the Golden Age of the Silver Screen.

The book, which came out of a blog he began writing after retiring from his job as a history teacher (www.tayloronhistory.com), highlights the evolution of theatres from the historic Robertson’s Musee at Yonge and Adelaide streets to today’s megaplexes.

“It occurred to me while I was writing about all these theatres (on his blog) that were so few resources on the subject,” he said. “Toronto had all these great old theatres, and most of the information out there is when they opened and when they closed.”

By writing a blog, Taylor was able to share his own theatre-going experiences.

As the blog gained traction, others started writing in with their own stories, or with corrections to details regarding specific movie houses.

“I very quickly saw the possibility in writing a book,” he said. “It meant I could reach a whole new group of readers, many of whom are not online.”

As a young boy, Taylor loved going to the movies, with the Colony and Grant theatres around Vaughan Road and Eglinton Avenue West the most popular destinations for him and his friends.

Doug Taylor’s new book, Toronto Theatres and the Golden Age of the Silver Screen, looks at the history of the city’s movie houses including Shea’s Hippodrome.

“As we got older, our parents allowed us to go to theatres that were not within walking distance – the Christie, the Paramount and Radio City,” he said. “When we were older still, we were allowed to go downtown – the Imperial, Loew’s downtown, Loew’s uptown, the University Theatre – and that’s when you felt like you’d made it.”

Taylor relied on memories and his own experiences for much of his book, though there was plenty of research involved, some of which surprised him.

One fact he was shocked to learn was that perhaps the most popular movie treat was not even allowed in theatres until the 1940s.

“Leases specified no popcorn allowed,” he said of film’s early days in Toronto. “It made a mess and because they were showing films continuously, there was no time to clean.”

Taylor laments the loss of many of Toronto’s historic movie houses, though he acknowledges many would-

be film-goers now choose to watch movies in the comfort of their own home by downloading them.

He said the convenience of home viewing does not come close to matching the wonder of watching films in theatres, and today’s multi-plexes pale in comparison to some of the older theatres.

“There’s just something about watching a film with sometimes as many as 1,800 other people, with everybody glued to the screen, sharing the laughs, the gasps and the excitement,” he said.

Back then, televisions were rare, so film was a window into the world outside one’s own neighbourhood, and a shared experience for all.

“There weren’t even baseball or hockey cards because all you had was the radio so nobody knew what the players looked like,” he said. “The bubble gum companies put cards of movie stars inside instead of sports cards because we all knew what movie stars looked like.”

Despite his own preference for the theatres of bygone days, of which precious few remain, Taylor still enjoys heading out to watch a movie.

He is a member of TIFF and loves taking in movies at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.

“I remember being terrified of the movie Jaws when I first saw it, but I had seen it at home on TV a few times in the years since and couldn’t figure out why it had scared me so much,” he said. “It was showing (at the Lightbox) a little while ago and I went with some people and we all came out thinking the same thing: ‘that was so scary!’”

Toronto Theatres and the Golden Age of the Silver Screen serves as a paean to Toronto’s historic cinemas and to the movie-going experience. It is one of several historic books Taylor has penned, but the first he has not self-published, having been picked up by The History Press.

Keeping an eye on your neighbourhood

W

e’d like to hear about the best practices of your local Neighbourhood Watch.

It’s because we think the best ideas are often old ones, and where the safety of a community is concerned, neighbours watching out for each other is about as effective as you can get. An organized, sustained program like Neighbourhood Watch takes it a step further, and is a program that should be maximized on our streets and across the city.

Residents almost always support one another in time of crisis, or in the face of tragedy. We’ve seen that locally many times – just last week in Leslieville, after the two-alarm fire on Minto Street that had residents checking in on one another and offering assistance to police. In south Etobicoke, the rash of summer break-ins and assaults have people up in arms – watching out over each other’s houses and noting any suspicious activity to our view police.

That collaboration is inspiring to see, but it’s almost too bad it Keep an eye happens only after a crime or on neighbours tragedy has already taken place.

We need to be proactive if we always want to have any lasting effect on the safety of our communities.

Neighbourhood Watch can help us do that.

Created in the 1980s by the Crime Prevention Association of Toronto (CPAT), it empowers neighbourhoods, businesses, and individuals to take action to reduce crime. Though the familiar signs are up all over the city, indicating the existence of a Neighbourhood Watch Group, we’re curious to know how many are actually still active? We’re willing to bet far less than the number of signs still up.

The success of the program is entirely dependent on the people of the neighbourhood. Even CPAT acknowledges on its website that programs go dormant when people move or they feel the reason for starting one has been solved, or the community once again feels safe. We shouldn’t take that sense of security for granted.

We’d like to find out how many Neighbourhood Watch Programs are active in Toronto. What’s the experience been, for those involved? Do groups share information, advice – or do they even know other groups exist? We’d like to investigate the possibility for growth and collaboration on a broader scale.

The potential to deter crime is in our hands, but it’s only effective when residents work together towards that goal. If you belong to a Neighbourhood Watch Group, contact us at press@insidetoronto. com to let us know.

Running without the advantage of name recognition Mayoralty candidates – at least some of them – get a lot of attention in Toronto municipal elections, and rightly so: the choice Torontonians make for mayor sets the future direction of the city more than any single vote.

But there are 44 other elections taking place – and some of those elections are more important than others.

In 2010, the Ford administration wouldn’t be what it became if Doug Ford hadn’t stepped in to hold onto the Ward 2 Etobicoke North seat after Rob Ford left it, to take the mayoralty.

Like too many other wards with well-known incumbents, Ward 2 has become a stronghold... not for an individual – but a family, the Ford family which has held it for 14 years.

And Doug is so confident in its strength that he’s suggested his young nephew and intended successor Michael Ford need not even

david nickle the city do interviews to take on the job. The brand in Rexdale is that strong. Actually, it may not be that strong.

Dismantle brand The Ford brothers have done much to dismantle their city-wide brand, and more to the point – motivate some fairly sophisticated opposition both city wide and more importantly in the ward.

That is where Andray Domise comes into the picture.

A financial advisor and writer who spent his childhood in Rexdale and lives in Etobicoke now, the 33-yearold African-Canadian has been offering up a pointed critique of the Ford brand in terms of its bedrock support in north Etobicoke and among African-Canadian young people.

“

And Doug (Ford) is so confident in its strength he’s suggested his young nephew and intended successor Michael Ford need not even do interviews to take on the job.

He took on the idea of a Ford stronghold directly in a conversation that took place just prior to Michael Ford registering.

“The whole thing has to do with anger and resentment,” he said.

“A lot of support comes from people who feel disconnected and cut off from Toronto’s political establishment. You can see, looking around Etobicoke neighbourhoods, why people get the impression that nobody cares – all they have is half-finished projects and empty promises.

“If you can’t rely on people who represent you

to get the job done, you’re going to end up rallying around somebody who is going to capture all that anger and resentment and passion.”

Domise doesn’t hide his own anger, but he is betting that the residents of Ward 2 will eventually let go of that anger and resentment after being allowed to be more directly involved in deciding the shape of their community.

Domise is also, of course, just a candidate right now – one of 13 running in Ward 2, and one of 12 without the advantage of name recognition, and by no means established to be the best choice among them.

So his plans to turn Ward 2 from stronghold to freehold might be premature.

But he is running a campaign that at least indicates a sense of the stakes on Oct. 27, both for city and for community.

New Regent Park to host long-running festival JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Though it looked for a time as though Regent Park’s annual Sunday in the Park event was not going to happen this year, the community’s annual summer festival is now set to take place in the community’s new park.

The event started more than 20 years ago as a way to bring people into Regent Park and bring Regent Park to the rest of Toronto.

“Back in the day, there was a real stigma in the Regent Park neighbourhood,” said longtime Regent Park resident Deany Peters, who was among the original organizers of the event.

“A lot of people only got the media’s perspective of Regent Park, and you didn’t get a lot of positive news stories coming out of here.”

Peters noted even those living just outside Regent Park had little idea what the community itself was like, isolated as it was from the rest of the city. Given that it was developed as a separate community, there was little reason for many people to go to Regent Park,

and its reputation as a violent and dangerous place only added to the problem.

“It was a chance to celebrate the community and demystify the negative impressions people had of it,” she said.

The event was first headed up by local organization Regent Park Focus in tandem with local residents, volunteers and other agencies. The North Regent Park Steering Committee then took it over before the CRC stepped up to take the reins. In recent years, Sunday in the Park has been run under the auspices of the Regent Park Neighbourhood Initiative, and when that group dissolved, it looked as though the event would be no more.

“We weren’t sure if we could pull it off this year,” Peters said.

“Ramadan was in July, so we decided to put it over until August so we could have full participation, and thankfully the Yonge Street Mission said they would head it up, so it all came together.”

She noted community engagement kept the idea afloat when it looked as though the festival would

not take place.

“Everyone in the community said ‘you have to have Sunday in the Park,’” Peters said.

While the Mission is taking charge of the festival, plenty of other neighbourhood agencies

will pitch in as usual.

Yonge Street Mission administrative coordinator Theresa Simmonds said holding the event in the new Regent Park would provide yet another reason to cheer for Regent Park.

“It’s a beautiful place – spacious and open, with a really good celebratory feel,” she said.

“Regent Park is growing and changing with the revitalization, and this is an opportunity to show the community’s still here.”

The event will feature live entertainment, including drummers from Council Fire, South Asian dancing and other cultural performances reflecting the diversity of Regent Park.

There will also be kids’ activities, carnival games, food, a DJ workshop and bike workshop and more.

“There’s something there for everyone, and it’s a good way to create community spirit and a sense of peace of mind for families,” Simmonds said.

Community agencies Dixon Hall, the CRC, ArtHeart, Central Neighbourhood House and others are pitching in with the organization, while the Daniels Corporation is serving as a full partner organization.

i

Sunday in the Park will take place in the new Regent Park, 620 Dundas St. E., from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Loss of green space an issue with proposed Raptors practice facility HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com For councillor Gord Perks, the proposal of a practice facility for the Toronto Raptors on the grounds of Exhibition Place is a nice idea, but if it impedes on existing green space he’s not in agreement.

“I think that we already have too much parking and hard surface there and I’ve communicated with city staff and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (informally) that I want to see a proposal that doesn’t consume any more open green space,” Perks told The Villager.

“There’s a baseball diamond that could turn into a parking lot to make up for the loss in parking that would happen to construct the facility.”

Perks added he has not seen a proposal from MLSE about the possible practice facility that could be built on a parking lot on the north side of Medieval Times, but would like to see one that incorporates parking into the structure or doesn’t get rid of existing green space for a parking lot.

According to the director of media relations for the Toronto Raptors, Jim LaBumbard, the proposal for that space is still in the design phase and nothing is concrete as of yet.

The Toronto Raptors current practice facility is at the Air Canada Centre. According to LaBumbard he’s aware there are rumours within the media that the team’s current practice space could be turned into a nightclub, but says he has not had confirmation if

that’s true or not.

Perks first heard about the idea recently. But talks about a practice facility popping at Exhibition Place began this past winter when discussions of the expansion of BMO Field were in the works.

“At that time they mentioned that they were looking at this idea of a practice facility. But the idea was so undeveloped that we (city council) said to them, ‘give us something real and we can talk’,” said Perks.

A community consultation is scheduled for Aug. 11, which invites residents from both wards 14 and 19 to hear more about the proposal.

Whether or not a vision for the practice facility will be shown at that time is still unknown to Perks, who is still working with MLSE to get a detailed proposal in front of him. “(These plans) They’re very fresh.... I’ll be frank, there’s a possibility that meeting could get cancelled because the whole deal could fall apart before then, the situation is that fragile,” he said.

“MLSE seems to be in a rush to get something through. I haven’t gotten

anything in front of me to look at and the community hasn’t gotten anything to look at and if they want us to buy into something that sacrifices green space based on one evening meeting, I’m not for it.”

Perks said he, along with Ward 19 Trinity-Spadina councillor Mike Layton, agree that more consultation with the community needs to take place. He admits neither of them is happy with the idea that, if accepted, this practice facility could eliminate green space for the community.

He also insists a proposal be drafted that could better suit the goals the community has for the land at Exhibition Place. He adds he’s prepared to have a conversation with MLSE about the green space and the community use aspects of the facility.

“Whatever facility they do build because they’re building it on public land, I am also very keen that there be a very solid community-use agreement,” said Perks.

City will hire a consultant to come up with a design >>>from page 1 full diamonds – when there’s a full diamond across the street at Art Eggleton Park,” Layton said.

“With two games going on, and sometimes a soccer game squeezed in between them, there’s no space for other park users to have a picnic or enjoy the park.”

To address that issue, plans are under way to

“

re m ove t h e n o r t h d i a mond and backstop from Bickford and create two T-ball specific diamonds in Art Eggleton Park.

That will both address the demand for proper diamonds and the need for open space where park users will be able to play other sports or just enjoy greenery.

“Soccer players who want

around,” Layton said. “They can just use the park, sit and relax.”

New social and seating areas, naturalized areas to the north and west and new pathways throughout the park will also enhance parkgoers’ experience.

“I think we did a good job of coming together and coming up with something where everyone walked

... there’s more room for folks to walk around. They can just use the park, sit and relax.

– Coun. Mike Layton

to use the park don’t (get a city) permit, and now there’s more room for folks to walk

away with a better way to use the park,” Layton said.

The city will now hire a consultant to put together a proper detailed design for the park, with that plan to be subject to more community consultation.

Layton said he hopes work on the park’s revitalization will be able to take place late this winter or early next spring with an eye to

having the work completed by next summer.

Those looking for more information or to give feedback on the process are asked to email Layton at councillor_layton@toronto. ca or call the councillor’s office at 416-392-4009.
