A few months after hearing it would no longer be able to set up shop at its current home at Brown Public School, it appears that Unicorn Day Care has found a new home. The daycare program, which hosts 24 preschoolers, was being forced to move due to expansion at Brown. That naturally led to concern by some, given that space in the area is at a premium. Now, however, Unicorn has found a space at the nearby Church of the Messiah, with only a few final hoops to jump through before they can officially move in. “The space at Church of the Messiah had been a daycare before, so we wanted to take over that space, but there were issues with licensing,” said Unicorn Day Care Director Eric Mackey. “We’ve gotten past some hurdles and hopefully we’ll be able to move forward.” Mackey added all sides are optimistic that the move can be finalized. “Everybody’s on board and the people at Church of the Messiah have been very supportive,” he said. Should the move be finalized, Unicorn will possibly be able to expand its services, adding 15 toddler spaces to its current 24 preschooler spaces. Unicorn will have to move >>>original, page 6

Chorley Park plans still ‘a work in progress’ JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com While the original plan to create a wide, zigzag ‘switchback’ trail leading down the hill at Chorley Park was met with staunch resistance, a working group is coming closer to finding a solution that will hopefully appease all sides. Residents in the Rosedale community were shocked when

the city cut down some 120 mature trees in the spring to make way for the switchback, which the city was planning to implement to improve safety and accessibility. A working group meeting last Thursday allowed the city to bring the working group – which includes 30 local residents and stakeholders – up to speed on where the project stands and gave local grassroots

organization Friends of Chorley Park a chance to present their own suggestions. City of Toronto Manager of Urban Forest Renewal Beth McEwan said the plan remains very much a work in progress. “We had a presentation from Dr. Patricia Longmuir, who spoke about trails and accessibility issues and we reiterated our desire to reduce barriers and make it as accessible as

Outgoing Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustees overwhelmingly voted in favour of the controversial Central Tech dome at the last scheduled meeting of their four-year term Wednesday, Nov. 26. New Tr inity-Spadina Trustee-elect Ausma Malik, along with 10 other incoming trustees, sent an open letter to the board, hoping they would defer the decision to move forward with the project. The incoming trustees will be sworn in next week following last month’s municipal election. However, it was a decisive 18-2 vote not to delay the project any longer. Many current trustees argued any further delay would risk losing the project altogether. “Students should always come first,” said outgoing Trinity-Spadina Trustee Briony Glasco to a burst of cheers, many from parents and children of Central Technical School, located at Bathurst and Harbord Streets. She cited the “explosion of school pride” as a result of a similar facility at Monarch Park and believed Razor Management accommodated every need of the school and the community. The proposed championship sports facility would be available year round and would be maintained by Razor Management. The lease would also include creating a running track and artificial turf. There is little doubt the field needs rehabilitating. The existing grass has long been worn down, and an environmental study showed the soil is contaminated, forcing the field’s closure. “It is time to vote. The students of Central Tech have been without a field for months,” said student Trustee Jesse Waugh. A student at York Memorial Collegiate Institute, Waugh said student voices have been “suppressed for months” and they weren’t being fully represented by the opposing

Trustees overwhelmingly voted in favour of the controversial Central Tech dome, which would cover the school’s field.

community groups. He also argued the only suitable board to vote on the issue was the current one, which has been working on the project for years. Much of the community concern is due to the proposed privatization of space. Under the agreement, Central Tech would have access to the field during school hours, but Razor Management could lease out the space afterward. Trustee John Hastings argued lists of benefits far outweighed any concerns, and the facility offered a unique opportunity to foster star athletes in the community. Trustee Sam Sotiropolous agreed: “We have already asked all the questions that need to be asked,” he said. “It’s time we honour our agreements. This vote is really just a formality.” But not all trustees were supportive of the decision. “It is such a mess,” Trustee Sheila Cary-Meagher told the crowd. “I’m asking people to step back and look at what’s best from a wider vision.” She reminded members any decision made by the members could be rescinded by the next meeting. Trustee Chris Glover, who used to teach night school woodworking at Central Tech, said he was in favour of the facility, but voted to defer the decision to the next meeting in order to give the new board the opportunity to have a say. “If we ram this down their throats, they won’t have the opportunity to see how good this project is. But I will be

debating vehemently in favour of this project.” When the meeting closed, the trustees left the packed boardroom to a sea of congratulations from supporters. “I’m feeling really happy,” Glasco told The Mirror after the meeting. “The students have worked so hard and they really deserve this facility.” She was not naive to the win, however, with the clear opposition by the newly elected trustees. Glasco hopes the next mediation meeting with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) will help resolve some of the difficult feelings that have resulted over the space. “This isn’t the end. I’m hoping the incoming trustees will try and move forward because at the end of the day the community and school will have to live with whatever happens on that field. And we have to find a way to heal,” she said. The proposal has drawn the ire of many in the community who are opposed to losing the natural greenspace. “There’s a need for green space in the community and especially right in that neighbourhood,” Malik said, in a previous interview. There’s also a battle over red tape with the City of Toronto winning a case in Ontario Superior Court in which the Justice ruled the dome would need city approval due to zoning issues and an appeal of that decision by the TDSB.

Mayor Tory’s deputy mayors the ‘eyes and ears’ of Toronto It’s premature to start criticizing Mayor John Tory’s appointments – he’s only been on the job for four days, and having four deputy mayors is surely better than one. Right? At first blush, the selection of his second-incommand, North York’s Denzil Minnan-Wong, and the other three deputy mayors – Scarborough’s Glenn De Baeremaeker (east), Etobicoke’s Vincent Crisanti (west) and downtown councillor Pam McConnell (south) – seems balanced, however, a large swath of the city appears to be left without the ear of Toronto’s freshly minted mayor. It seems the status quo is how Tory is approaching the start of the 2104 to 2018 Toronto City Council. Looking for experience was the key to the appointments, he said. This is not a bad our view thing; it’s shrewd taking into consideration most councillors are the same ones who held those Open door seats before the election. The policy needed mayor is different, but most of council remains the same – how for mayor will Tory handle this when last term was often difficult? Despite words to the contrary, the left on council is out of the mayor’s inner circle. Granted, De Baeremaeker is by no means on the right and McConnell is an NDPer, but they have been tasked with bringing issues from large parts of the city to the mayor. How can De Baeremaeker and McConnell bring the many issues of Scarborough and the downtown, respectively, to the fore? Scarborough is a huge area and the downtown core is a complicated part of the city. Tory’s executive committee fares a bit better, with more progressive-voting voices. We ask that Tory regularly revisit his choices as council progresses – see who is doing a great job, not just a passable job. Perhaps there is room for more names in his inner circle? His door should always be open to councillors who are not directly meeting with him on a regular basis. They deserve an ear (or two) – and through them their constituents – in order to be able to provide our new mayor a true understanding of the diverse city he is now responsible for ‘uniting’.

Tory puts council’s left wing on the ropes No doubt about it: the left-wing of Toronto council is on the ropes. Mayor John Tory’s executive committee doesn’t give them much to hold onto, with not a single New Democrat councillor, and no one from the downtown core either. He has chosen as his chief lieutenant longtime Don Valley East councillor and enemy of the left, Denzil Minnan-Wong. The early complaints from those councillors suggested that the new mayor is doing very poorly indeed when it comes to uniting the city and instead has fashioned an enabling right-wing inner circle to carry on the Rob Ford agenda, just like they suspected. The Tory team has a different perspective, and points out that while there might not be very many New Democrats on the executive committee, there are certainly coun-

david nickle the city cillors who have voted progressively: BeachesEast York Councillor MaryMargaret McMahon and Davenport’s Ana Bailao. Shut out And Tory picked two progressively-voting councillors – one of them a New Democrat! – for his symbolic-plus regional deputy mayors. None of that changes the fact the left have been severely shut out of things. They have. McMahon and Bailao are both Liberals, with no particular love for the NDP. New Democrat deputy mayor Pam McConnell and freebooting progressive Glenn De Baeremaeker (assuming they’re’ confirmed, follow-

ing the deadline for this column) are in positions of minimal symbolism and little power, working to see that matters approved by the last council – the anti-poverty strategy and Scarborough subway – are in fact implemented. Imbued with far greater power and influence is a coalition of Liberal and Progressive Conservative councillors, encompassing both the right wing and so-called ‘mushy middle’ of council that the NDP left might have at one time been able to influence, at least occasionally. That time is past. In making his cabinet and other appointments as he has, Tory has effectively maneuvered Toronto’s NDP left into an oxygen-free environment, politically speaking. It is a winning strategy – one that has already been tried quite successfully, by former mayor David Miller

in his first term. Like Tory, the left-ofcentre Miller made a point of including nominally conservative members of council: David Soknacki was his budget chief, and former Scarborough Councillor Brian Ashton, another right-winger, sat near him on his executive committee. Miller even had a Conservative deputy mayor on a team of three, Mike Feldman, in a position similar to that of De Baeremaeker and McConnell. The scrappier rightwingers then remained in the wilderness, and they stayed there a very long time indeed as Miller built a coalition that was for a long time unstoppable. It appears that Tory’s learned well from the successes of his old foe.

PrideHouse Toronto aiming to make Pan Am Games inclusive JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com When the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games descend on the city, the 519 Community Centre and Church Street will do their part to welcome LGBTQ athletes, families and supporters. PrideHouse Toronto (PHTO) will see live sporting sites up and down Church, shows, beer gardens and patios peppered throughout the Church-Wellesley Village. Following the success of a similar initiative during the Vancouver Olympics, organizers were bound and determined to make sure the Toronto 2015 Games are the most inclusive ever. “We wanted to do something just as great or better (than the Vancouver Games PrideHouse),” said PHTO spokesperson Ryan Tollofson. “We wanted a safe space where people could come and celebrate LGBTQ inclusiveness and celebrate the athletes.” PHTO will include a pavilion at the 519 where people can gather to watch the games, art installations, and casual sports games breaking out at intersections in the area.

“We’ll also have pavilions at Nathan Phillips Square and the CNE, plus 16 ambassadors across the province – mostly in the GTA – to do outreach,” Tollofson said. With funding from the City of Toronto, the province of Ontario and CIBC, PHTO aims to provide something for fans of every stripe. Pan Am Games CEO Saad Raffi said the inclusion of PHTO would help ensure the event is as inclusive as possible. “Inclusion and diversity in sports is something Canadians have shown leadership in and we want that to continue,” he said. “It’s important to get the message (of inclusiveness) across to people coming from across the Americas to this region.” Raffi added, in this way, the Toronto 2015 Games can be more than a celebrated sporting event. “We hope to use sport as a catalyst for social inclusion,” he said. “Through sports, arts and culture, we want to help people understand that we may have differences, but we’re all struggling with the same issues.” “While the Games themselves

Snow and ice on your sidewalk can create a dangerous situation for pedestrians in your neighbourhood. Many people are hurt each year by falls on slippery sidewalks. But you can help keep your street safe.

To be your best, you have to be able to be yourself... – Former Olympic gymnast, Kristan Burley

comed the opening of the new space at a launch event last Friday. He noted sports are not known for being inclusive, and he himself did not come out as a queer athlete until he retired from the sport. “At that time, LGBTQ issues weren’t something you openly talked about,” he said. “It’s a North American concept that guys who do gymnastics are gay because we wear tight uniforms, do something artistic and can do the splits. Everywhere else in the world, that concept isn’t there.” He said he – like many athletes across the sporting spectrum – was not comfortable sharing his sexual orientation for a variety of reasons. Among them is the fact that many judges in gymnastics hail from countries where LGBTQ rights are virtually nonexistent.

“Hearing the comments from a gymnast from Greece who came out after dominating at the ‘96 Games, the international persecution was horrible,” Burley said. “It’s a judged sport and that ruined his reputation. He never had anywhere near the same success again.” Burley, who lives downtown, said it can be draining for athletes to feel forced to hide a huge part of who they are. That, in turn, detracts focus from their training, their sport and their team. “To be on any Olympic team takes every ounce of your focus and your ability,” he said. “To be your best, you have to be able to be yourself. Things are better now, but sports always seem to be behind in these things.” He hopes PHTO helps change that atmosphere for athletes and supporters at the Toronto 2015 Games. “It’s important because it shows the LGBTQ part of the greater community indulges in sport and are among the best,” he said.

TDSB elects new chair and vice

A new chair and vice-chair have been elected for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). During its first meeting of the new board of trustees on Monday, Ward 21 (Scarborough-Rouge River) Shaun Chen was elected chair and Sheila Cary-Meagher, who represents Ward 16 (Beaches-East York), was elected vice-chair. Chen, who previously held the position of vice-chair of the TDSB, has served as director of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association and member of the City of Toronto Children’s Services Advisory Committee. A resident of her ward for more than 40 years, Sheila Cary-Meagher is an advocate for public education. Chen has represented Ward 21 since 2006, and CaryMeagher represented Ward 9 from 1973 to 1980, Ward 2 from 1981 to 1986 and Ward 16 since 2000.

Original location >>>from page 1 out of Brown Public School for good by the end of June, as the growing Avenue Road and St. Clair Avenue West area school will need more space to meet its own needs. Mackey said he hopes to have the space at Church of the Messiah locked down by then, if not sooner. The move would keep the daycare close to its original location, a key factor for busy parents who need proximity and convenience. Church of the Messiah is a few blocks south of Brown Public School at 240 Avenue Rd.

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com John Tory received the symbol of his office on one knee, and he called on his new council – and all city residents – to join him in building “a Toronto we can be truly proud of.” Torontonians don’t want miracles from their city government, but they do want results, Tory said at the inaugural meeting of his term Tuesday. “It is now up to all of us, in this chamber, to deliver them.” A f o r m e r ra d i o h o s t and Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader, who a day before admitted he’d never been in a Toronto council meeting, let alone run one, Tory did exactly that. He said the city he now leads is “unfairly and unjustly” divided by geography and income. Far too many residents, including newcomers to Canada and people with “skin colours other than my own” do not share Toronto’s prosperity, and “just want the chance to prove themselves,” said Tory. No Torontonian can rest easy when 15 city neighbourhoods have poverty rates of 40 per cent or higher, added Tory, who promised a Toronto poverty-reduction strategy with measurable deadlines and targets. He said he’d use transit projects to bring opportunities to corners of the city where they don’t exist, and argue to federal and provincial politicians Toronto, an engine of Canadian growth, must remain strong, economically and socially. He praised city employees, but said the processes of city government “are generations behind, in some cases, what is done elsewhere.” The city must to be open to change, including new technology, if it wants to “lead from the front of the pack,” Tory said. “Our role is not to fight the future. It is to be the future.” Tory’s special guest at the meeting was Louise Russo, a North York resident struck and paralyzed from the waist down by a stray bullet in 2004.

Mayor John Tory makes his first address to council during the inaugural meeting of the new Toronto City Council on Tuesday at City Hall.

Russo, after her long, painful recovery started WAVE (Working Against Violence Everyday), a charity dedicated to helping youth make positive choices. She “fought back from unspeakable adversity,” and “was and is one of my heroes,” said Tory, who knelt so Russo, from her wheelchair, could put the chain of office around his neck. The moment brought the crowd in the chamber to its feet, applauding. “I believe in Toronto the Good,” Russo said, adding her friend Tory “genuinely cares about Toronto, its people, its safety and especially the youth.” The new mayor also made an extraordinary gesture toward Rob Ford, now Toronto’s former mayor and the man who ran against him until a cancer diagnosis forced him to settle for a council candidacy in his old Etobicoke North ward. Ford won that seat easily while undergoing rounds of chemotherapy, and returned to the chamber as just another of the members Tuesday. Like other councillors, Ford rose in turn to take the framed declaration of his office from Tory, and to shake the mayor’s hand for a photograph. Tory, however, later singled Ford out, recalling he missed jostling with Ford at campaign debates and – as Ford’s brother Doug, who took over the mayoralty bid, watched from the top of the chamber – called on all councillors to

thank Ford “for his continuing public service” and to wish him a full recovery. The two men shook hands again, and for a second, Ford waved to the crowd. “Mayor Tory wants to get along with everybody,” Denzil Minnan-Wong, a North York councillor Tory has made his deputy mayor, said afterwards. Ford, “for good or ill, was a mayor of this city and made a contribution,” Minnan-Wong said. Tory also made special mention of Norm Kelly, who basically became an acting mayor last year after Ford was stripped of certain powers, thanking the senior Scarborough councillor “for your unique contribution.” With gratitude, Tory had mentioned his mother Liz, his late father John Senior - “I know that he’s here, and I’m wearing his tie to prove it.” – and his wife Barbara Hackett, without whom, he said, he “wouldn’t be here.” Also on hand for the new mayor was Bill Davis, Ontario’s premier from 1971 to 1985 and Tory’s political mentor and friend. It was Davis, Tory said in a press conference later, who told him “bland works” and that politicians shouldn’t be in show business. Davis said he had no advice for Tory, who had worked in his Queen’s Park office and wrote some of his speeches. “Some days, I thought I was working for him,” the former premier quipped.

The Spirit of Giving

Hill a popular destination for generations

The holiday season is about more than just presents, it’s a time for charitable giving. Get in the spirit of giving by helping the less fortunate in your community. Make a monetary donation to a charity, collect food for a pantry, volunteer at a local hospital, donate clothing or unwrapped gifts, or organize a charitable holiday bake sale. There are many ways to get involved in helping the community this season.

>>>from page 1 local stakeholders are vehemently opposed to that concept. Residents also bristled at the original plan’s proposed three-metre width and the amount of the hill the switchback would take up. “We proposed a plan that has less of a footprint, but still increases accessibility while recognizing the ecological sensitivity of the hill,” said Kathleen Hanly of Friends of Chorley Park. “It’s part of the North Rosedale District Heritage Conservation Area and it should be protected.” She added her group’s plan – designed by landscape architects – calls for a thinner trail with fewer lengths and grades from two to 10 per cent. It would also reduce the overall length of the city’s initial proposal. “It doesn’t have armour stone and doesn’t have fencing,” she said. “It’s got a good, firm and stable surface, the grade is reasonable and it’s got rest areas.” The hill has been a popular

destination for local residents for generations, with people tobogganing down it, having picnics in the park and using the hill to access the city’s ravine system. It also provides a route to the Evergreen Brick Works. “It has a long history in the life of the community and has been valued for its natural beauty, but (due to the tree removal), that’s been destroyed for the next couple of generations,” said Friends of Chorley Park member Charles Hanly, Kathleen’s father. “We want people in the city to have access to the natural environment but we feel there are other safer, less expensive ways to do that that are compatible with the restoration of the hill.” Friends of Chorley Park’s narrower trail would allow access for people in wheelchairs and families with strollers, but would not turn the switchback into a thoroughfare for cyclists and skateboarders. “We would prefer a path where people on bikes are

more inclined to walk them down rather than ride them down,” Charles Hanly said. He added there are other entry points to the ravine system and access points to the Brick Works, as well. Many used the hill as it was, but it has become less safe due to erosion in recent years, and it did not comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), which the city is hoping to enforce on projects before it is officially enacted in 2016. While there is still no consensus on the issue, the sides are working collaboratively. The City is organizing a meeting with accessibility groups. Working group members hope to have a seat at the table when that meeting takes place, likely early next year. “We’re trying to find a solution that everyone can live with, even if not everyone loves it,” McEwan said.

Thank you to everyone who entered the contest.

honoured with community award

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com For more than a decade, the St. Lawrence Market area has seen lights go up around the holidays and plants beautifying the neighbourhood come spring, all courtesy of Bob Kemp and his team. As the St. Lawrence Market BIA’s streetscape coordinator, Kemp does more than just keep the community looking neat and tidy, however. He is determined to make a difference in the lives of those from around the community who are struggling, and loves making sure kids and families all have a good time. “When it comes time to put up lights or put in flowers, I’ve always hired guys who need a second chance and the BIA pays them,” Kemp said. “I hire guys who come from programs in the area, ex-drug users, ex-alcoholics. I think we’re the only BIA that does that – that gives them that chance.” The crew puts up holiday lighting, cleans light poles and ensures the area is litter-free following public events. So entrenched is he in the community, Kemp actually has an annual celebration named in his honour. Bob Kemp Day features a parade and barbecue in David Crombie Park, with live music and other attractions every summer. “We started doing it years

I don’t do it to show off. I do it because it’s fun for the kids.

ago with Buskerfest, just having everyone get together the day before for some fun,” Kemp said. “Now we don’t have Buskerfest down here anymore – it’s moved to Yonge Street – but the kids still wanted me to do it, so I kept doing it.” Kids can dress up as firefighters, get their faces painted and more. While he is honoured to have a day named after him, the down-to-earth Kemp is anything but a glory-hound. Some have gone so far as to call him “The Mayor of St. Lawrence Market,” a title he humbly tries to deflect.

– Bob Kemp

“I don’t do it to show off,” he said. “I do it because it’s fun for the kids.” The downtown resident also works closely with 51 Division Police, heading up a toy drive there. From now through the holidays, people can drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the station at 51 Parliament St. to ensure kids from low-income households have something to open come Christmas morning. He said his work is all a part of making the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood a friendlier, more welcoming place. “I just want people to like people,” he said. “Our community’s a unique neighbourhood with lots of different types and we all have to get along.” For his work, Kemp was honoured Tuesday by the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas with the TABIA Most Connected to Your Community Award. The awards recognize individuals and groups that do the most to help improve life in their communities.

Candlelight vigil call to action to stop violence against women Hundreds are expected to gather at Philosopher’s Walk Saturday for a sombre tribute and a call to action to stop violence against women. Grassroots organization Women Won’t Forget has held a candlelight vigil every year since 1990, sparked to action by the Montreal Massacre, which saw a gunman murder 14 women at l’Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. While there is more awareness surrounding the issue of violence against women now than when Women Won’t Forget first started, there is still

plenty of work to be done, said Shirley Gillett, Women Won’t Forget member. “It’s been 25 years and there are still a lot of the same issues,” she said, adding the ceremony will shed a special light on the plight of First Nations women in Canada. At Women Won’t Forget’s first-ever vigil, organizers and participants spoke out about 12 Native Canadian women missing in British Columbia. “We joined the call for an inquiry along with (the missing women’s) families and it was resisted,” Gillett said, adding

the number swelled to more than 60 in the ensuing years. The event, which will take place Dec. 6 at 6 p.m., will take place at Philosopher’s Walk, off Bloor Street between the Royal Ontario Museum and the Royal Conservatory of Music, in a special memorial space, which saw 14 red oak trees planted and a plaque erected in time for the first vigil in 1990. Participants are asked to bring a rose and a candle.
