As Regent Park has transformed from an at-risk neighbourhood to one comprised of residents with mixed income levels and more amenities, long-time community organization, the Regent Park School of Music (RPSM), has had to adapt to keep up with its ever-changing surroundings. The school, which offers subsidized music lessons to ensure every child has access to a musical education, has been operating in the community for more than 16 years, more than enough time to see the face of the neighbourhood change dramatically. Filmmakers Justin Lee and Josef Beeby have captured some of the RPSM’s accomplishments and how it has adapted to the changes around it in the new documentary short Changing Keys.

In highlighting the school, the filmmakers actually investigate the changes to Regent Park as a whole, including the mixed feelings from community residents. “I used to work in Regent Park volunteering for a youth outreach organization from 2004 to about 2008 or 2009, and on a daily basis, I’d see the neighbourhood portrayed really negatively in the media,” said Lee. “They talked about guns, drugs, violence, but all I saw was positivity – families and kids playing around.” Lee walked by the RPSM regularly and often wondered what it was all about. Finally, he set up a meeting with the school and found it made for an ideal way to frame a documentary showcasing Regent Park as it changes. Many of the additions to the neighbourhood have been undeniably positive – the neigh>>>FILMMAKERS, page 9

Wondering when the snow plow went through a street or sidewalk you intend to use? Well, the City of Toronto has taken out the guesswork out of it with a new web page. The web page enables residents to see the location of plows, sidewalk plows and salt trucks and when individual streets were serviced by the City’s winter operations crews. The new web page uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) installed on plows and salt trucks to determine when a road was serviced by using a colour coded system. If a road was serviced within the last four hours, the road will be shown with a green line. If a road was serviced within the last four to 12 hours, the road will be shown with a blue line and if serviced between 12 to 24 hours earlier, the road will be coloured red. The web page is available at http://www.toronto. ca/plowTO At this time, information on exactly when plows or salt trucks will service specific streets is not available. Varying amounts of snow received during any snow episode and potential route changes make it difficult to predict exactly when vehicles will attend to certain roads, the city said.

Police make arrest in Chinatown shooting ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com A man faces charges in last month’s shooting in Chinatown that killed two men and wounded three others. Police said David Eminess, 26, Quinn Taylor, 29, and their friend got into an altercation with a group on the sidewalk outside the New Ho King restaurant at 410 Spadina Ave. around 3:15 a.m. Jan. 31. A gunman then opened fire, shooting the three friends along with two bystanders. Eminess was pronounced dead on scene while Taylor died of his injuries in hospital at 8:45 a.m. Their friend and the wounded bystanders received non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released from hospital. On Feb. 10, police released security camera images of “persons of interest” in the case and appealed for anyone with information to come forward. A suspect was arrested Friday, Feb. 12. “As a result of the release of the digital images, we were able to identify the person that we’ve arrested,” Chief Mark Saunders said noting “information and tips” from the public “have brought this case to a successful conclusion.” Saunders urged the public to continue to come forward. “Investigators are still trying to compile information that would provide a motive for this homicide,” he said. “We’re not sure if this event is gang related.” Kyle Sparks-MacKinnon, 25, of Toronto has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Sgt. Mike Carbone at 416808-7400 or Crime Stoppers.

ing ridership numbers. Since the four-stop train route launched to great fanfare in June, ridership numbers have consistently dropped, to the point in which some

trips have reportedly had more UP staff on board than actual customers. Metrolinx chair Rob Prichard acknowledged UP’s pricing has played a role in UP’s struggles, but

he said the move for a review of the service is part and parcel of the growing pains experienced by any new business. “Starting a business is always a

Truck driver charged in connection with traffic death of 22-year-old woman at Bathurst and Eglinton ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com A man faces charges in a Nov. 27 collision that killed a pedestrian. Police said a 22-year-old woman was at the southwest corner of Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue when an eastbound fuel tanker truck turned south at the intersection and made contact with the pedes-

trian. The 45-year-old driver continued south on Bathurst. He was eventually stopped by a witness who advised him of the collision. The pedestrian was pronounced dead on scene. The driver has now been

charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian, careless driving and failing to stop at a red light and is expected to appear in court March 10. The Toronto Police Service is asking anyone with information to call traffic services at 416-8081900.

learning process, and (every business) goes through adjustments in strategy, how it’s marketed and priced,” said Prichard following the Feb. 10 Metrolinx board meeting. “We’re actively doing that and the really great thing is we have an excellent service which works very well, with high reliability and performance.” The review will track factors that may have hampered UP’s ability to attract new ridership since its debut as a premium rail transportation option for travel between Pearson airport and Union Station: buildi n g b ra n d awareness, improving Starting a wayfinding, business is and convincalways a learning ing people to change their process... longstanding – Rob Prichard , travel habits Metrolinx chair to give the service a try. While a review won’t be completed until June, any decision to alter UP’s fare structure would require a special board meeting before then held in public, said Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig. “We are looking at the pricing model we have, up and down, to see what is the most optimum way to proceed based on what we’ve learned from the marketplace,” he said. Prichard also added there are no “sacred cows” when it comes to UP’s fare structure. UP’s current pricing model is practically 10 times that of the TTC’s Airport Rocket bus: $27.50 for a oneway trip without a Presto card. Jessica Bell, executive director of TTCriders, a transit advocacy group, which has called on Metrolinx to run UP as a local service with TTC-level fares, said news that Metrolinx is rethinking UP’s pricing is no surprise since the service is too expensive for most commuters. “A g a i n s t t h e a d v i c e o f Torontonians, Metrolinx chose to create a service no one is using,” Bell said. “I’m pleased they’re holding the review, but let’s see what kind of (new) fare options they present.” Mayor John Tory, who was briefly at the Metrolinx meeting to hear a planning update on integration of GO Transit’s rail expansion with his SmartTrack transit project, also urged patience when it comes to UP. “One thing not to do when starting a new business is to be impatient,” Tory said. “I’ve used (UP) many times and it’s a fantastic service.”

PM pays surprise visit to youth club Justin Trudeau marks 100th day in office and makes funding announcement LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com The pr ime minister of Canada paid a visit to the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club Friday morning, much to the surprise of its staff and members. Justin Trudeau’s visit to the Dupont and Dufferin streets-area clubhouse was shrouded in secrecy until just hours before his arrival. The country’s chief executive took a few minutes to chat with members and senior students from nearby St. Mar y’s Catholic School before beating them at a game of foosball. While it was all in good fun, Trudeau chose the local boys and girls club to make a funding announcement on what marked his government’s 100th day in office. “ I ’m v e r y h a p p y t o announce today yet another example of the kind of real change we’re bringing to Canadians,” Trudeau told his audience that had gathered in the club’s gymnasium, Feb. 12. “ I ’m p l e a s e d t o b e here this morning at the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club to announce that our government is creating over 34,000 summer jobs for students this year. Through the Canada Summer Jobs Program, we’re investing up to $113

million more to help more youth get invaluable work experience.” This is in addition to the 34,000 summer jobs created last year. This means that employers will be able to hire nearly 70,000 students, Trudeau added. Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-forprofit organizations, publicsector employers, and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees in an effort to help create summer job

opportunities for students. The Liberal government, Trudeau said, will continue to provide this funding for the next three years. “That’s what we have to understand about empowering young people – yes, we’re building a stronger future for them, but we’re also building a stronger present for everyone they work for, with their experience and hard work,” he said. “That’s why investing in young people is important

and why our government is more focused than any other government in Canada has been on building opportunities for youth.” The funding will be distributed to the country’s 338 constituencies on the basis of the most recent labour force survey and the census. Those with a higher level of unemployed students will receive a greater allocation of funds than those with lower student unemploy-

ment rates. Not-for-profit organizations could be eligible for up to 100 per cent of the minimum wage and up to 100 per cent of mandatory employment-related costs. Public and private sector employers are eligible for up to 50 per cent of the minimum wage. “We know summer jobs are critical for helping young people get the experience they need to start their careers, to pay for their stud-

ies and build self-reliance,” Trudeau said. “By investing in young Canadians, we’re investing in all of Canada.” D a v e n p o r t M P Ju l i e Dzerowicz welcomed her boss to her riding and especially to the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club, an organization she pointed out has been operating since 1957. “Take it from me, this is a special place. It’s a place that gives families, kids and youth a space where they can come together to build relationships, gain confidence, and embark on new experiences,” she said. “These experiences give them the skills they need to reach their full potential in life.” Dzerowicz shared her favourite Trudeau quote: ‘If we do not give everyone the chance to succeed, we do not live up to the potential of Canada.’ “This fits perfectly with the vision and raison d’etre of the boys and girls club in Davenport and that is to create a space to ensure that all children are healthy, successful and active participants in society so that t h e y c a n d i s c ove r a n d achieve their dreams and their potential,” the local MP said. Dianne Jocson, a Grade 12 student at St. Mary’s, told The Villager she had no idea she would be meeting the prime minster, an experience she called, “pretty cool.” To find out more about Canada Summer Jobs Program, visit servicecanada.gc.ca/csj

Summer job can help make a positive change in a young person’s life

rime Minister Justin Trudeau marked his milestone of 100 days in office by marking what he hopes will be a new milestone for Canadian youth. Trudeau wants to get close to 70,000 youth working this summer, and the federal Liberals are committing massive amounts of money over the next three years to make that a reality. On Friday, he made a surprise visit to Toronto’s Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club where he announced the government would be injecting $113 million each year for the next three years to get young people in the workforce. The Canada Summer Jobs program provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees in an effort to help create summer job opportunities for students. The Trudeau government is on the right track to setting up students for success. When people are offered our view help, there tends to be a ripple effect. Support gives rise to Jobs today more support, and a spirit of and receiving is created. make engaged giving At the centre of this decision youth of future is not political popularity, but an understanding that empowering youth today will make them the engaged adults of tomorrow. They will learn life skills by doing them. They will learn co-operation and interpersonal skills by dealing with employers, customers and coworkers. They may develop meaningful friendships, build savings and start dreaming of a future of possibilities, that may have been clouded with fears and uncertainties. A job today equals an education tomorrow. A job today allows one to support her family in tough economic times. A job today helps a young person have hope for the future. The federal funding will be distributed to Canada’s 338 ridings. Areas that have higher levels of unemployed youth will get more funds. The program funds job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. Employers and students interested in the program, should visit servicecanada.gc.ca/csj for more information. The application period for Canada Summer Jobs 2016 has been extended until March 11, so there is still time to get involved.

Sadness is at the heart of the Uber-taxi battle There have been few issues at Toronto City Hall so consistently suffused with sadness as the Uber-X ride sharing fight with taxi drivers has been this past 18 months or so. From the outside, it’s been easy to confuse that sadness with rage. At the early February meeting of Toronto council, taxi drivers’ rage was certainly on display: several had to be removed from the council chamber as they watched councillors step away from seeking an immediate court injunction to stop Uber-X from operating in the city. Last week, Paul Sekston, one of those taxi drivers, took that anger to the airwaves and announced the new United Taxi Workers’ Association would be staging a protest to disrupt the NBA All-Star Game and run-up to it. It would have been a bad scene had it happened, but it didn’t. The same day, Feb. 11, he and other members of the taxi industry had a

david nickle the city sit-down with three city councillors – Janet Davis, Glenn De Baeremaeker and Kristyn Wong-Tam – after which, they decided to call it off. What clinched it? They simply needed to hear city councillors say aloud the thing that is undeniably true. Uber-X, as it’s currently operating in the city, is illegal. And there it was: the heart of the sadness beating beneath the crumbling front of rage. Taxi drivers, or at least Sekston, need if not a hug, then at least some clear allies in what they perceive, correctly, as the fight for their vocational lives. Mayor John Tory has tried to provide some assurance after he mused about the inevitability of disruptive technologies in a way that seemed to be giving Uber-X a moral if not entirely legal break.

And from the perspective of taxi drivers seeing their livelihoods dry up, Uber-X has gotten an easy ride from almost everyone else on the legal front. Yes, it’s complicated. When cab drivers came to the Toronto Police Services Board demanding more drivers be charged, Chief Mark Saunders explained doing so en masse is legally and operationally challenging. And when cab drivers demanded Toronto enforce its own bylaw – passed just last fall – setting up requirements for UberX’s continued operation that the ride-sharing app and the drivers who use it couldn’t and wouldn’t meet, council demurred. Again, it was for strategic reasons: if an injunction can’t be heard for three months, and the city’s new regulations governing ridesharing apps will be before council in two, the entire matter may become moot. Meanwhile, Uber Canada continues its charm offen-

sive, delivering kittens to stressed-out office workers and experimenting with shuttle services to underserved communities near the downtown – and, of course, by undercutting taxi fares for customers who are becoming used to trading fare savings for the invisible risks of riding an unregulated service. And to add to the sting: the Toronto licenced taxi model isn’t a sterling alternative. While taxis are regulated, the vehicles more rigorously inspected and drivers more comprehensively insured, Toronto’s system of commodified plates and absentee owners still makes for an ugly feudalism under which drivers work now. It’s been awful to watch, no doubt awful to live, and it’s hard to see anything near a happy ending to it all.
