Black Lives Matter disruption of parade what you’d expect
City and Toronto police must promote, enforce responsible road use by cyclists
Brian Scholz
Metroland file photo
Re: ‘We like to bike,’ Special Feature, June 30. The photo accompanying the article highlights a growing problem concerning the proliferation of bike lanes in the city. Only one cyclist (the one in the white helmet) appears to be using the southbound Sherbourne bike lane properly. The other three cyclists (one without a helmet) appear to be riding in the pedestrian crossover, which is in contravention of municipal bylaw and is a safety hazard to themselves and to pedestrians. The city, and police, must promote and enforce responsible road use by bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists so as to truly ensure a safer transportation network. Cyclists blindly ignoring common sense and the rules of the road are at higher risk of causing accidents that are 100 per cent preventable.

it as silliness, tempting to see this as a bit of a nadir for Black Lives Matter, pulling a disruptive stunt at what was otherwise a healing event for a community still processing the massacre in Orlando – all to extract promises that won’t be kept, and for the most part are over internal Pride matters that might have been dealt with as well using nothing more than a few stern emails. That is, however, missing the point of successful protest movements BLMTO, which are combatting not only small issues, but very large ones. A few days earlier, Metropolitan Community Church pastor and gay rights activist Brent Hawkes stood with Police Chief Mark Saunders for what had been billed an historic apology by police for the bath house raids in the early 1980s that destroyed the lives of closeted gay men, and ruined businesses. An apology was a big thing, but also a small thing – and Hawkes spoke that day of how he had contacted the chief, and negotiated an apology, and that sometimes, negotiation was necessary. The only trouble? At the end of all that negotiation, Saunders did not in fact apologize; he very deliberately expressed “regrets” for police actions, and promised to do better – and with that, closed the matter as far as police were concerned. It’s comforting to think that change can happen with comfortable negotiation. But the reality is that genuine change requires an irritant to motivate it. BLMTO understands that, and so of course they showed up in full, irritating glory on Sunday.
@InsideTOnews
With the cost of everything increasing these days and Canadians already having record debt, what is the average Canadian to do on their summer vacation?
It’s hard to know what to make of the Black Lives Matter – Toronto (BLMTO)/ Pride Toronto dust-up. That, of course, won’t stop me from weighing in on the spectacle – even if it wasn’t really much of one. To recap: Black Lives Matter – Toronto, a group that has seen great success staging discomfiting public protests, accepted an invitation from Pride Toronto (another group that has in the past seen great success staging discomfiting public protests) to be an “honoured guest” at this year’s Pride Parade. And things went exactly as you’d expect: a discomfiting public protest, in the form of a disruption to the Pride Parade that was only able to resume once Pride Toronto had “agreed” to a list of demands from BLMTO. Among those demands? No coppers at future Pride parades. The pearl-clutching began. The Toronto Police Association demanded Pride Toronto apologize for signing off on the deal. Mayor John Tory joined voices on Toronto council to make it clear the police should be welcomed at the parade for if nothing else than the purpose of keeping open lines of communication between the LGBTQ2S community and the police. And finally Pride Toronto’s executive director Mathieu Chantelois made it clear that signing a deal with BLMTO, while he was trying to simply get the parade moving, wasn’t going to be binding, and ultimately, Pride and the community would make the final decision. It’s tempting to look at all this from the outside and dismiss

Justin Skinner/ Metroland A shipping container market offering fresh fruits and vegetables recently opened in Moss Park, giving food-insecure residents in the area an option for healthy food.
How to help make sure Torontonians can put food on their plates JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com
W
hile solving the problem of food insecurity will require a concerted effort from all levels of government, there is a great deal being done at a more grassroots level to help make sure Torontonians can put food on their plates. Organizations such as Community Food Centres Canada (CFC), FoodShare, Building Roots and the Toronto Youth Food Policy Council (TYFPC) are engaging vulnerable Torontonians through a variety of programs and initiatives, providing not only food but opportunity. CFC Chief Operating Officer Kathryn Scharf (www.cfccanada.ca) said awareness of food security issues is growing, as is action to combat them. Her organization originated out of The Stop Community Food Centre on Davenport Road, and now there are three such organizations in Toronto and eight across Canada. “With almost one in 10 households experiencing food insecurity, we don’t have a hard time finding communities that could use a Community Food Centre,” she said, adding that finding local partners willing to help deliver services is a key part of what her organization does. Scharf noted that while teaching healthy food skills, offering cooking groups and classes, providing after-school programs where kids can have healthy snacks and creating community gardens are all great ways to combat food insecurity, the key is in making sure more Canadians can earn a living wage.
However, that’s something that will only come about when governments mandate it, said Scharf. “The key is to fight poverty, fight for housing, increase wages and social assistance rates,” she said. “We can push for those things at a grassroots level, but we can’t make them happen.” Darcy Higgins of Building Roots (www.pushfoodforward.com/buildingroots) agreed that a wage policy, along with better social support, is the best permanent solution, adding his organization is doing its best in the meantime to bring food access to where people need it most. “We’re trying to bring fresh food at affordable prices to where people need it most,” he said. “We have a Moss Park Market that just opened in a shipping container on Toronto Community Housing property, and that’s a model we’re hoping to replicate in other communities. We’re exploring and looking for partners across the city, especially in the suburbs.” He said those battling food insecurity can also benefit from connecting with community agencies that can help teach them to cut costs and stretch their food budgets further, by joining cooking programs run by not-for-profits, or by growing their own food, perhaps in community gardens near where they live. The Ashbridge Estate near Queen and Greenwood is a prime example of using available space to bolster food security. A new community garden has been planted there by Syrian refugees to complement an existing community garden at the site.
“There are so many communities – especially lower-income communities – where there aren’t stores for people to buy fresh food,” Higgins said. “It tends to be more convenience stores (instead of affordable grocery stores with more healthy options) in those communities, so you have to look at other solutions.” Toronto Youth Food Policy Council (www. tyfpc.ca) co-chair Melana Roberts said projects to boost food security can range from
power. Rather than having each organization make connections and buy goods, they can pool their resources and make bulk purchases from the Ontario Food Terminal, stretching those dollars further. “There’s $29 million spent a year by nonprofit agencies in the community food sector (each year in Toronto,)” said Shawn Conway of FoodShare. “That’s a lot of buying power.” “We started out with an emphasis on fresh produce, but now we have a dairy line and a bread line as well.” Many other organizations across the city are helping to keep vulnerable Torontonians fed, but they all acknowledge their work is simply addressing the symptoms of the type of poverty that leads to food insecurity. They say it’s ultimately up to government to determine if and when a permanent solution to the issue will be presented.

The Toronto Food Council’s Food by Ward report looks at food security issues across the city on a wardby-ward basis.

Food is an essential pillar of city building. That’s the premise behind a recently released report titled Food by Ward: Food Assets and Opportunities in Toronto. The report, which took about a year to put together, was initially launched by the Toronto Food Policy Council (TFPC) as a way to engage with municipal candidates during the 2014 election on the topic of food security. Now that the election is over, the TFPC is continuing to work with elected officials as well as community organizations and individuals to advocate for more food security programs and initiatives. Using resources from Toronto Public Health, Food by Ward provides a snapshot of food assets across Toronto’s 44 municipal wards, said Rachel Gray, chair of the Toronto Food Policy Council, during a recent interview. Gray, who is the executive director of The Stop Community Food Centre in the Annex, said the findings of Food by Ward can and should be used to help identify food priorities and come up with viable ways to improve the availability of affordable, healthy food across the city. She said the areas that tend to be lacking the most are the suburban, and often lower-income, parts of the city where people usually need a vehicle to go to the grocery store. The outer portions of the city are also often where marginalized individuals live, including those on fixed incomes, and newcomers. Gray also said a lot of the findings in Food by Ward mirror those of the groundbreaking 2010 Three Cities Within Toronto report by David Hulchanski of the University of Toronto, which looked at income polarization in the city from 1970 to 2005. The good news is that food insecurity problems can be improved when people and organizations come together, Gray said, pointing to simple things that can make a huge difference like community gardens and community food programs. And fortunately, a lot of people are interested in getting involved, she added. At Food by Ward’s launch event recently at Toronto City Hall, more than 100 community food champions as well as more than a third of Toronto city councillors same out to show their support. n Visit www.tfpc.to/food-by-ward to view the report.
