RioCan gets approval for Bathurst St. development

‘Walk In My Shoes’ campaign targets poor ALI RAZA araza@insidetoronto.com Put Food in the Budget (PFIB) launched its latest campaign, “Walk In My Shoes”, in an effort to convince the provincial government to raise social assistance rates.

PFIB is an organization aiming to raise awareness of inequalities in Ontario’s social assistance programs. On Feb. 19, it held a mock trial in Regent Park charging Premier Kathleen Wynne for neglecting her pledge to make social justice a top priority. She was tried

in absentia by members of the organization in what they called a “Court of Public Opinion.” She was found guilty. Now, PFIB representatives said they hope to draw more attention to Ontario’s poor with “Walk In My Shoes”. “We held hearings in 20 com-

munities across Ontario leading up to the trial,” said Mike Balkwill, provincial organizer of PFIB. “What we heard over and over again were people saying ‘If politicians had to walk in my shoes, they’d put food in the budget.’” >>>POSTCARD, page 5

With Walmart out of the picture, plans by big box developer RioCan to redevelop land near Kensington Market sailed through the Toronto and East York Community Council Tuesday afternoon. The community council unanimously approved a new application by RioCan, an approval that was aided by a pledge by RioCan not to rent space to Walmart on the new site, and a new development proposal that would make doing so next to impossible in any event. Originally, RioCan had proposed a single-tenant retail space of 8,800-square-metres at 410-466 Bathurst St., which would have placed a downtown Walmart just to the west of Kensington Market. But the proposal raised an outcry in the form of a 91,000-name-strong petition demanding that not take place. The new proposal includes retail, but half the building will be comprised of office space. Trinity-Spadina Councillor Mike Layton said issues remain regarding the development, but the compromise is worth making. “The tradeoffs we have to make to avoid the ultimate deci>>>PROPOSAL, page 6

Former Olympic hopeful forges career as a stunt double JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Following a sometimes-troubled childhood growing up in Trenton, downtown Toronto resident Angelica Lisk-Hann has risen to become one of Hollywood’s leading stuntwomen. Lisk-Hann spent time working as a model and also trained as a high-end athlete with hopes to compete in track and field in the 1988 summer Olympics before opting out of those plans. “I realized that for me personally to get where I wanted to be, I would have had to use some (performanceenhancing drugs) and I didn’t want to do that,” she said. “I was also in Toronto and for the first time, I was in a place where there were other people who looked like me. Track started to fade away because I wanted to go out, go to concerts and parties.”

She decided to try her hand at acting, falling into her current career path while working on the Dave Chappelle film Half Baked. “I had a small part when the stunt coordinator for the film, Branko Racki, walked over to a bunch of us and said, ‘hey, can any of you broads do anything other than act?’” she recalled. “I said I could and he told me I could work as a struggling actress trying to get work on shows, but as a stunt double, I could work on pretty much all the shows.” Of all the elements that comprise her job, Lisk-Hann considers stunt fighting the easiest, due in part to the struggles she had growing up as the only person of colour in her school in Trenton, Ontario. “I had a lot of fights – real fights – because I had a hard time falling into my ethnicness in a small town,” she said. “I was the awkward kid

who was 5’9” with a huge afro in Grade 9. I got into rumbles with other kids.” Despite her sometimes rough-and-tumble childhood, Lisk-Hann admits she was nervous when the time came to do her first high fall for a film. She was supposed to get hit over the back and fall two

storeys, breaking through a railing on her way down. “I used every excuse I could think of to get out of it,” she said. “I would say ‘I think I left my iron on. I have to go home.’ The stunt coordinator just said ‘you didn’t leave your iron on. Stop making excuses and get out there.’”

Once she finally summoned the courage to take the fall, the adrenaline rush got her hooked, to the point where her enthusiasm had to be reined in at times. There were times when her stunt coordinators had to warn her to be more careful. In one case, she was leaning out a car window firing at another oncoming car when, between takes, the stunt coordinator told her not to lean out nearly so far. “The next take, the other car got so close, it clipped our car, so if I had been hanging way out the window, that would have been it,” she said. “When I was young, I had a little attitude. We work in a controlled environment, but you still have to respect it and I didn’t respect it.” She understands the dangers far better now that she herself sometimes works as a stunt coordinator and is responsible for others’

safety. “As a stunt coordinator, when someone else is doing the stunts we worked on, I’m responsible for that person, so I’m a little nervous all the time,” she said. Over the course of her career, Lisk-Hann has acted as a stunt double for stars such as Angela Bassett, Sanaa Lathan, Naomi Campbell and many others. She plans on continuing working as a stuntwoman as long as she can. “I still feel like I’m 20, running around from town to town, meeting cool people,” she said. “I’m getting up there in age, but my body still works and I’m smarter now.” Lisk-Hann will be recognized as a role model at the 2014 Black Canadian Awards on Saturday.

Toronto judge Donald McLeod scoops prestigious award JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

onald McLeod may occupy a lofty post as an Ontario Supreme Court Justice, but his beginnings were decidedly more humble. McLeod grew up in subsidized housing, first in Regent Park and then in Scarborough, but never wavered from his longtime dream of pursuing a career in law. “I knew I wanted to be a lawyer from the time I was 10 years old,” he said. “When you’re young, you just know lawyers are pretty powerful. Living in an economically depressed area, people were fighting to get out and lawyers were some

of the people helping them fight.” While he admits his grades were not the best until he started getting serious about his studies in university, McLeod had a natural knack for public speaking and debating that served him well in his chosen field. He also got a boost from student assistance, with the province providing a loan that helped him fund his education. “The only way I could get through school was OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program),” he said. “Without that, there’s no way I’d have been able to attend.” After being called to the bar in 1998, McLeod started practicing criminal law at

the firm of Hinkson, Sachak. A few years later he founded his own firm, The McLeod Group. “I was friends with Johnnie Cochran and I kind of mimicked him – his firm was called the Cochran Firm and I called mine The McLeod Group,” he said. While law kept him busy, McLeod made a point of giving back to the community. He worked with Ainsworth Morgan in creating youth organizations 100 Strong and Stand Up. “(100 Strong) helps inner city kids – many of them come from Regent Park – and it works like a summer school where we assess students’ progress and follow up with them through their education,” McLeod said.

“We’ll do things like taking the kids on a field trip to the Rogers Centre to go see the Blue Jays, but then they’ll also go to the back offices to see how the team is run.” While 100 Strong is geared toward AfricanCanadian boys, Stand Up is open to all boys in Grades 7 and 8. That initiative sees the students brought to George Brown College for a day to pair up with a group of black mentors. “The mentors tell them how their jobs work,” McLeod said. “The students get to see what goes into those jobs and they can create their own networks through us.” Prior to his appointment to the Ontario Court of Justice last fall, McLeod also

ran Black Robes, a mentorship program for other lawyers. These days, the midtown Toronto area resident adjudicates out of the Brampton Court, dealing with a full case load. “It’s an interesting perspective, sitting there as a judge,” he said. “I realize the utility of sitting in the seat I’m sitting in, but it’s also an awesome responsibility.” For his work, McLeod was awarded the Honourable Lincoln Alexander ’53 Award by the Black Law Students’ Association at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

ext week Toronto marks its 180th year since a government was formed with our first mayor William Lyon Mackenzie at the helm. We’ve come a long way since the days of provincially appointed magistrates and the city’s transformation has seen its share of growing pains, while spawning new townships, building tiered governing structures, and juggling the challenges of a developing metropolis. We offer the highlights of that journey in a special feature on Page 11 on the city’s milestone anniversary. As detailed by two of the city’s top historians, sorting out jurisdictional responsibilities and forging cooperative relationships with townships were major challenges prior to amalgamation. It’s remarkable, however, that over time certain governing issues persist. Dr. Gary Miedema, chief our view historian at Heritage Toronto, describes Toronto’s municipal of the mid-20th More things landscape century as this: “you’ve got a change, the number of different municipalities in the same region who more it stays share the same concerns, but it’s difficult for them to all work the same together.” Things improved with the formation of a regional governing body in the 1950s (Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto) and then amalgamation of 1998. Our politicians were able to finally engage in “healthy debates” about the city’s future according to Wayne Reeves, chief curator for the city, and that helped propel the municipality forward. The history of our city is still being written and we have to wonder what will be said, 100 years from now, about this era of government at city hall? There’s much to celebrate, but there’s still room for improvement. On a macro-level our three tiers of government, as well as our neighbouring municipalities, need to improve upon areas of shared concern – such as mass transit, for instance. And on a micro-level, members of city council struggle daily to work productively as a collective. Divisiveness, in these cases, only serves to hold us back. On the occasion of Toronto’s birthday and to mark how far the city’s come, it’s time our politicians took a page from history and learn that the only way forward is on a road travelled together.

Crowded right could open door for Chow to win In the space of a few hours Monday morning, Toronto’s mayor’s race went from a bare cupboard to an embarrassment of riches, as first John Tory and then Karen Stintz joined Rob Ford and David Soknacki to fill out the rightward side of the ballot. Each of these identifies themselves as “fiscal conservatives.” And as it is early in the race, it is difficult – with the notable exception of incumbent Ford – to tell them apart. This is problematic for voters who also identify themselves as “fiscal conservatives,” and very problematic for the growing army of campaign strategists working on all of the campaigns. If everybody is calling for controls on spending, and also feeling ambitious about transit construction, where does the like-minded vote go? Soknacki’s pitch is a fiscally sensible but politically

david nickle the city dubious one: just forget about that subway council decided to build – and tax for – in Scarborough and build light rail there instead, concentrating subway dollars on the downtown relief line. That has the advantage of reining in spending and improving transit, along with the disadvantage of re-opening a debate that Torontonians are sick of. The other three all want to build more subways – Ford, on Sheppard and downtown, and Tory and Stintz, downtown. How will they pay for those subways? Ford will use public-private partnerships. Stintz will go to the federal and provincial government. Tory has a plan but isn’t saying yet. The only bit of information right-of-centre voters know for sure is that with

drug abuse and truancy and – whatever he might claim to the contrary – legislative failure, the incumbent mayor’s been a disaster. Otherwise, those voters will have to pick. If they’re not careful, it’ll be their poison they’re picking. That’s because one other likely candidate of note is still on the horizon. Olivia Chow, the New Democrat MP, former city councillor and widow to the beloved and revered late NDP leader Jack Layton. If she runs, she is surely the only major candidate from left-of-centre, and if polls over the past year are any indication, she is wellpositioned to take the elec-

tion against even a single candidate from the right. Now, a strong right-ofcentre candidate could certainly erode that advantage, and the crew that’s here now can do that too. If Soknacki continues to play it as he has, supporting the former mayor David Miller-era light rail and tweaking Miller-era tax policy, he can probably siphon off a considerable amount of support Chow could otherwise take for granted. Tory and Stintz can appeal to elements of soft Chow support. And while Ford’s victory might seem unlikely, by remaining in the race he’ll keep a significant chunk of the conservative vote from anyone but himself. So as matters stand today, it looks as though Chow will have to fall a long way before she’s lost the lead in this very crowded race.

Postcard sent to finance minister Charles Sousa >>>from page 1 The campaign is starting off with a postcard addressed to Charles Sousa, minister of finance. The postcard is covered in photos of PFIB members’ shoes and asks Sousa to act on increasing social assistance rates. “We’re going to do that from now until the budget,” Balkwill said. “After that, the next step will be announced when the budget comes out and that’s building toward the election campaign.” “It’s our intention to say to all candidates, ‘You’re running for election and we’re walking for food.” PFIB has no affiliation with any political party and claims to be non-partisan – the campaign would be unaltered if another party ruled. But its concerns are raised with the Liberals, which are said to have raised social assistance rates nine times since 2003. In the 2013 budget, Sousa said $400 million would be invested in social assistance over the next three years. This investment is expected to increase support for Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program recipients by

one per cent. “In the last 10 years, the total they’ve raised it by is 16 per cent,” Balkwill said. “But inflation has risen by 22 per cent. So people have fallen behind on their very inadequate incomes by at least

six per cent.” Balkwill stated food inflation costs are even higher. A report published by the University of Guelph said food prices may rise in 2014 by 0.3 to 2.6 per cent after already rising 1.23 per cent in 2013.

The Ministry of Community and Social Services is responsible for social assistance programs like Ontario Works and ODSP. It responded to some concerns. “The Commissioners recommended a package of changes,” said Charlotte Wilkinson, spokesperson for the Ministry. “It includes an increase to rates, elimination of the Special Diet Allowance and the merger of Ontario Works and ODSP.” Improvements have been made to some programs. Ontario Works clients can earn up to $200 from employment without having their social assistance reduced. Clients are also able to retain more assets like bank savings or a car. “We know there is more to do,” Wilkinson said. “Social assistance is a complex system affecting almost 900,000 vulnerable adults

PFIB representatives met with former finance minister Dwight Duncan when he was still in office and said Duncan said “a person can’t function on social assistance.” “Many advocates believe that if the government has the facts, they’ll do the right thing,” Balkwill said. “If the (former) finance minister knows the facts and nothing is being done, that tells us facts aren’t enough.” When asked to verify the claim, the office of Dwight Duncan, now a senior strategic advisor for McMillan LLP, said he is not available for an interview. Sousa was also not available for an interview.

Spot the early signs Ever wondered if your memory lapse is normal, or a sign of early-onset dementia? According to dementia experts there are early signs that can help identify when we might need to take memory lapses or behavioural changes more seriously, and maybe see a doctor. A proper diagnosis can help identify a number of conditions that could be causing these symptoms, and could help get you needed treatment earlier. Here are a few of the early signs of dementia*: Misplacing things: Anyone can temporarily misplace a wallet or keys, however, a person with dementia may put things in inappropriate places, for example, an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. Difficulty performing familiar tasks: Busy people can be so distracted from time to time that they may forget to serve part of a meal and only remember later. A person with dementia may have trouble completing tasks that have been familiar to them all their lives, such as meal preparation or playing a game. Disorientation in time and space: It’s normal to forget the day of the week or your destination - for a moment. But a person with dementia can become lost on their own street, not knowing how they got there or how to get home. Changes in mood, behaviour and personality: Someone

Proposal still has ‘extraordinary risks’

Some of the risk factors we may be able to influence or control to some extent include: • Unhealthy eating habits • Diabetes • High blood pressure • High cholesterol levels • Obesity • Stress with dementia can exhibit varied mood swings, from calm to tears to anger, for no apparent reason. A person with dementia may experience more striking personality changes and can become confused, suspicious or withdrawn. Changes may also include apathy, fearfulness or acting out of character. It’s also important to recognize some of the risk factors involved, even though factors such as age and genetics are not ones we can change. While we’re not always able to control all of the risk factors, many can be managed more effectively. Who can help? Toronto Central CCAC is part of an Ontariowide initiative designed to help clients, their families and caregivers living and coping with high-risk and challenging behaviours related to dementia. Our team of experts works with clients, families and community partners to deliver integrated care, caregiver support, and skills training.

The team can: • support older adults suffering with dementia with care in their own homes • assist older adults to remain connected to current supports • facilitate collaboration with community partners • support caregivers • provide training to help manage difficult behaviours The team’s care approach focuses on the client: their current abilities, their environment, and the contribution families/significant others can make to uncover meaning behind the client’s individual behaviours. The team provides a comprehensive, in-home assessment that helps the client and their family to develop meaningful, individualized behaviour management goals. By understanding the person’s personality, life experiences, support systems and ways of coping, an approach to care can be created that preserves and improves their quality of life. Coaching is also available for caregivers whenever needed. To find out how we can help or to ask questions about someone in your life, please contact the Toronto Central CCAC at 416-506-9888. – by Kelly Clarke, Client Services Manager Toronto Central CCAC *Source: www.alzheimertoronto.org

Mardi Gras 2014 hits the stage at St. Andrew’s Church JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Historic St. Andrew’s Church, in the heart of downtown Toronto, is inviting audiences to come and lend their voices to a family-friendly concert. The church’s Mardi Gras 2014 will feature performances by the Regent Park School of Music Choir, jazz singer Heather Bambrick, a

cappella group Cadence and the Jordan Klapman All-Star Jazz Quintet. “We’ll have a really eclectic show to appeal to different age groups and the diverse people in the downtown community,” said Klapman, who organized the concert and who will accompany the Regent Park School students in addition to performing with his own quintet. “We want the

people in Regent Park to know more about what we’re doing and see their choir.” In keeping with the show’s sing-along nature, the concert will feature traditional songs that will be well-known to most. “The show covers a lot of traditional gospel, spiritual music, but the songs aren’t tied to one religion because it’s such a diverse community

downtown,” Klapman said. He cited “When the Saints Go Marching In” as an example of the type of music that will be performed. That song will serve as the entry music for the Regent Park School students as they make their way to the stage. As was the case when St. Andrew’s conducted a similar sing-along concert last year, many of the songs will be

given jazz and swing arrangements. “We want to keep it fun, keep it light and stick to songs people know,” Klapman said. “One of the things we learned last year was that people really wanted to participate and not be passive.” Mardi Gras 2014 is part of the church’s ongoing Life & Music at St. Andrew’s music program and will feature a

reception with New Orleansthemed snacks following the concert. The show will take place at the church, 73 Simcoe St., at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased online at www.standrewstoronto.org or at the door.

Marking Toronto’s 180th birthday The city found its stride with amalgamation

n March 5, 1834, a growing community known as the Town of York went to sleep as a British colonial outpost, and awoke as the newly incorporated City of Toronto. “It’s really only significant because of that shift in government...where we suddenly took on this mantle of becoming something different than what we were (the day before),” explained Wayne Reeves, chief curator for the City of Toronto. “It wasn’t really cataclysmic but it did show a little bit of growing autonomy, at least in nomenclature.” The system of governance of York, with its provincially appointed magistrates, was proving inadequate to meet the needs of the community. A new government was formed and took effect on March 6, with elected officials and Toronto’s first mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie. Mackenzie’s reign was short lived; he declined a second term in office and went on to cause what Reeves describes as “huge turmoil” for the city in leading the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. Despite this, the city grew incrementally into the early 1900s, mostly through the annexation of surrounding villages. Eventually neighbouring communities broke off with their own governments, forming townships such as Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, and eventually Weston and Leaside. POPULATION JUMP As Toronto grew, so did its challenges. The city was experiencing an unprecedented jump in population after the Second World War, and the province again needed a way to meet rising regional demands, especially as it looked to replace farmlands with industrialization and housing. In April 1953, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was created to address those issues shared by the city and the surrounding communities of Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, and York, as well as the smaller East York, Forest Hill, Leaside, Long Branch, Mimico, New Toronto, Swansea and Weston. “The big picture is you’ve got a number of different municipalities in the same region who share the same concerns, but it’s difficult for them

to all work together,” said Dr. Gary Miedema, associate director and chief historian at Heritage Toronto. The two-tiered system of government did not replace Toronto’s own government, which still looked after aspects of city life such as public health, but Metro did take lead on issues such as arterial roads, sewer, and protection of parks and valley lands. “I think it was hugely successful and really was the recipe for growth in what we now call the City of Toronto,” said Reeves. “As a result we’ve got one of the greatest park systems in the world... a very durable legacy.” Still, the new system was not with-

out controversy. Despite success with the Gardiner Expressway, plans for the Spadina Expressway stopped short due to opposition, leaving the Allen Expressway with an endpoint at Eglinton Avenue West. There was also a lost battle with the City of Toronto to turn Toronto Island into parklands. The year 1967 brought the city one

step closer to amalgamation as the 13 municipalities were merged to produce seven governments: the City of Toronto, Metro Council and the five boroughs of Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York and East York. Finally, in 1998 the conservative provincial government amalgamated the boroughs into a mega city with Toronto. According to Reeves, this got people talking in all the right ways. “Healthy debates about how we want to run our city, and what we should invest in, came to the forefront,” said Reeves, who believes these discussions help push our city forward. He points to the addition of new city hall and the Toronto-Dominion Centre in the 1960s, which attracted global attention but also caused many to question what to do with old city hall. The end result was a city that began to embrace preservation as a key element to future growth. “We are continually re-imagining the city and I think that’s really what makes it one of the most interesting places in North America,” said Reeves. “The city continues to change dramatically. Not a lot of population growth but a lot of population change and increasing diversity in terms of our ethnic makeup.” ‘SUSTAINED PROSPERITY’ The city may be constantly changing, but Reeves also points to our general upward momentum since 1834, unlike other North American cities, such as Detroit, that have had “huge downturns.” “We’ve sustained prosperity and as a result we’ve been able to grow in many different ways,” Reeves said. Both historians agree that the diversity of the city’s population is a unique aspect of Toronto’s history and current culture. There have been times when discrimination reared its ugly head, and the community has faced the consequences. The riot at Christie Pits in 1933, given as example, which was incited by Pit Gang members who hung a large sheet with a swastika on it during a local baseball game. “It’s been a long struggle that continues today, although we’ve made great strides in diversity in our city,” Miedema said. “Our ability to develop in a way that has created a relatively open and accepting environment for people to settle, and build families, and contribute to the city – I think that’s something that’s remarkable.”

North Toronto resisted annexation While what is now known as downtown Toronto made up the city’s original boundaries, North Toronto was not annexed into the city itself until just over a century ago. In December 1912, the Town of North Toronto joined the area further south following months of discussion and debate from both municipalities. The village itself did not predate its annexation into the city by much; it was formed in 1889 when the Davisville and Eglinton communities merged to become a village. As the population grew, its infrastructure failed to keep up and, with a relatively small population, the town found it difficult to cover those costs through taxation. One of the key problems was transportation. With just one streetcar track running along Yonge Street – accommodating traffic going both ways – delays were inevitable, but the Town did not have the capital to install a second track. When North Toronto’s town council met with the Toronto Board of Control in May of 1912 to discuss the possibility of expanding transit in the area, then-Toronto Mayor George Reginald Geary suggested annexation as a means of getting support from the City of Toronto. Despite the benefits both sides stood to gain by folding North Toronto into Toronto – including more funding for infrastructure for the former and a larger city for the latter – there was trepidation from both groups. Toronto City Council was wary of taking on North Toronto’s costs and debt, and when the matter of annexing North Toronto came to Toronto City Council in May, it passed by a slim 10 to 8 vote. North Toronto residents were equally divided on the matter, with 53 per cent voting to join the City of Toronto. In October of that year, the Ontario Railway Board approved the annexation process, and North Toronto officially became part of the City of Toronto a few months later.
