A group of newcomer artists coming from regions of conflict will have a chance to showcase and sell their work when the Turtle House Art/Play Centre hosts its first Summer Arts Market.

Turtle House provides arts programming for children from refugee backgrounds and their families. In addition to giving them a creative outlet, the notfor-profit organization allows them a chance to meet others from similar backgrounds.

It started in East York in 2005, when the United Way gave it funding as a one-year pilot project. While funding after that was hard to come by, strategic planning and focus groups helped hone the program into what it is today.

“We go out to schools and neighbourhoods where there are large populations, largely from the Afghan and Iraqi communities,” said Turtle House executive director Tamam McCallum.

Now operating out of Costi Immigrant Services, near College and Ossington streets, the organization fills several needs.

“Our main focus is art; we see art as being therapeutic, though what we do isn’t (certified) art therapy,” McCallum said. “We have ceramics, music, other kinds of crafts, and we also have >>>PROGRAMMING, page 7

Grab a little taste of Food Truck Alley JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s food truck industry finally has a full-time home thanks to the efforts of William Randolph of The Feisty Jack.

Dubbed Food Truck Alley, the new site will see two to three trucks open throughout the day

in front of the Tire Source store at Queen and Jarvis streets.

The new site comes following the launch of tight restrictions on food truck vendors implemented by the city in July. Those regulations prohibit vendors from parking for longer than three hours, with a maximum of two to a block. Trucks also had

to be at least 50 metres from an existing restaurant.

Fortunately for the vendors who have signed on to be part of Food Truck Alley, those rules do not apply on private lots, making it a no-brainer for the vendors to rent space from Tire Source.

“Before we rarely had an

opportunity to go out on the street and do publics,” said Randolph, who added the lion’s share of his business came through private corporate lunches and events. “Now that we have a spot we can actually attend, we’ll be doing a lot more just selling.” >>>PRIVATE, page 2

Thus far, it has been booming.

At lunchtime last Friday there were crowds gathered around the three food trucks there.

“As long as people keep showing up, there will be food trucks,” Randolph said.

Should demand remain strong, there is also the possibility the trucks could remain open for dinners as well.

“A lot of food trucks have one opportunity to sell each day, and that’s at lunch,” Randolph said. “This will give them a place to go in the evening to keep selling.”

as a couple of years ago, the store had food trucks and picnic tables on its property, but that ended when people left messes behind.

With no seating, Food Truck Alley makes for a perfect spot for those who live and work in the area to grab a quick bite on the run.

“There are always lines, but the food’s good and the variety’s even better,” said Jon Kashner, who dropped over from his nearby office for a lunch break Friday.

According to Tire Source owner Johnson McKay, the space is ideal for food truck vendors.

“You’ve got 150,000 cars going by here a day and 68,000 people living within a kilometre radius,” he said. “It’s nice for the neighbours, because

every day there’s a different set of food trucks and a different look.”

McKay said he hopes the food trucks bring more people to his store, with Tire Source offering a free lunch to anyone who buys a set of tires.

“It hasn’t helped our business, but we’re hoping people see us here when they’re getting their lunch and bring their car in for service,” he said.

Randolph is looking to boost the roster for Food Truck Alley.

While there are currently roughly 15 vendors taking part on a rotating basis, he figures that number will climb to more than 20 by August.

Cecil Street’s Jewish heritage celebrated JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com While Cecil Street today features an eclectic mix of vibrant cultures, back in the first half of the 20th century it was largely known as a hub for Toronto’s burgeoning Jewish community.

Originally populated by British immigrants in the 1840s, the area started to attract more Jewish residents in the early 1900s as more and more Jewish residents began to move into nearby Kensington Market.

On July 9, Heritage Toronto, along with the Ontario Jewish Archives and presenting sponsor Scotiabank, unveiled a plaque commemorating Cecil Street’s Jewish past.

“Toronto’s Jewish population doubled between 1911 and 1921,” said Heritage Toronto board member Brent Pearlman.

He noted a number of institutions cropped up in the area at that time in existing homes

along the street, providing a range of services to the city’s Jewish population.

“Cecil Street, known as ‘Institution Road’ by some in later years, became a focal point for the entire Toronto Jewish community,” Pearlman said.

Ontario Jewish Archives chair Eric Slavens said the area held a special personal significance for him, as his grandparents all lived within walking distance of Cecil Street and both of his parents were born and raised in the neighbourhood.

He said Cecil Street was “a key setting where our collective identity as Jewish Torontonians was forged.”

The plaque unveiled to commemorate Cecil Street’s Jewish Heritage features a map of the area and two archival photographs, one of which shows young friends Gurion Hyman and Dr. Gordon Perlmutter standing together outside the Ostrovtzer Synagogue in

1938.

They grew up in the area and wound up setting up shop there, with Perlmutter becoming a dentist in the community and Hyman operating his family bookstore on Spadina Avenue. Both Hyman and Perlmutter were in attendance at the plaque ceremony.

Hyman’s son, Dr. Avi Hyman, said his family was happy to see his father and Perlmutter depicted on the plaque. He added, however, the photo selected was but one of countless images depicting the importance of Cecil Street to Jewish life in Toronto.

“We are, of course, no different than thousands of other Jewish families who have Cecil Street and the surrounding area as the crucible for our lives,” he said.

The plaque was unveiled at the Cecil Street Community Centre, at 58 Cecil St., and will be displayed in a laneway just east of the building.

City of Toronto mock-up of projected mid-rise development planned for Eglinton Avenue as part of the Eglinton Connects planning study.

Eglinton Connects laneway plan has north Toronto residents concerned RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Mayoral candidates and a group of residents have blasted and voiced their concerns over the city’s Eglinton Connects planning study.

Eglinton Connects seeks to transform Eglinton Avenue to make it more attractive for mid-rise development, greener and open to all modes of transportation following the launch of the Crosstown LRT in approximately six years.

While initial implementation measures are scheduled to take place before then, much of the plan’s 21 recommendations are not intended to go into effect until at least five years after the Crosstown begins running, according to the study’s project manager Lorna Day. But that hasn’t prevented a group of Eglinton-area residents, between Avenue Road and Bathurst Street, from joining a chorus of critics including mayoral candidate John Tory and incumbent Rob Ford from raising concerns about the plan.

The residents are specifically concerned about a study recommendation to construct a network of laneways located behind Eglinton Avenue to serve commercial servicing of potential new mid-rise developments and allow access to emergency vehicles. The plan also calls for the widening of existing laneways.

But by addressing the goal to reduce congestion on Eglinton, group spokesperson Jane Steele Moore, fears the rear laneway plan will lead to “traffic chaos” and safety concerns for local residents.

Steele Moore, who outlined the group’s concerns in a petition sent to the city’s pubic works and infrastructure committee, said it was calculated adding one eightstorey residential building for every block on Eglinton between Avenue and Gilgorm roads, a distance of approximately 700 metres, would lead to an increase of 1,200 cars on residential streets such as Castle Knock Road.

“Traffic, whether it’s residential or commercial, whatever is meant for those buildings, will now be travelling along upper or lower Eglinton, said Steele Moore.

“The traffic will pour out onto the residential streets.”

Also of concern for Steele Moore was her belief the city has not properly consulted with residents about the laneway plan.

She said she attended a recent Eglinton Connects public meeting and came away feeling her worries were not adequately addressed by city staff.

“We’re putting laneways where there’s going to be heavy traffic use,” she said.

Day disagreed, saying there is no intention by the city to divert existing car traffic from Eglinton using the rear laneways, only commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks.

She said city research shows midrise inhabitants make less use of automobiles compared to other residents.

“Residents are attracted to midrise buildings because of the opportunities they provide to walk, cycle and access public transit,” said Day via email.

“As a result, trip generation by

automobiles will be low, and traffic coming from the laneways will also be very low.”

Day added the city will not be demolishing properties to accommodate laneway construction.

“The city will not be expropriating property to develop any new laneways,” she said.

In response to “misleading or incorrect information” being circulated about the study, the city’s planning department released a statement Tuesday answering several questions about the Eglinton Connects plan.

Earlier that day, Mayor Ford held a widely-broadcast press conference on the street, decrying the plan.

The statement, which was also posted to the study’s website www. toronto.ca/eglinton also addresses concerns about a future laneway network, saying it would only be used for local access only.

“The intention of laneways is to create a great street on Eglinton by providing a place for loading and servicing to take place at the back of the building, rather than the front,” read the statement.

This week, city council is scheduled to debate adopting zoning and bylaw amendments related to the plan, including allowing for further study of rear laneway construction behind new Eglinton developments.

Council has already endorsed Eglinton Connects in regards to streetscaping, such as the widening of sidewalks and adding bike lanes.

T

here’s so much going on with transit in Toronto these days. Construction projects are popping up everywhere. We all know about the maintenance work on the Gardiner Expressway, but do you know what’s planned for your local streets?

The Union-Pearson Air Rail Link, the Relief Subway Line, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT – all major projects in the works, but do you know how each one may affect you? Or when they’ll be complete? Or how much they cost and who’s paying for them?

Torontonians may agree transit is an important topic, but it’s been our experience that the subject is so mired in technical jargon and bureaucratic red tape, that it’s difficult for the average person to comprehend the big picture. People our view aren’t sure how it affects them – and when that connection is lost, people become disengaged.

Our special That’s why The Mirror and website has our sister papers at Metroland Toronto have launched an latest news Media online resource called The Transit Project. It’s a website designed to provide you the latest news on transit and commuting in and across this city. It’s also tailored to provide you information on projects as it relates to you – by commuter type and/ or geography. We’ve got an interactive map of the city that provides reports on the areas you select.

We’ve also got overviews of the major projects on the go, like the Union Station revitalization, but also projects that are still on the books for the future, like the Yonge North Subway Extension.

And then there’s our ongoing transit news pieces written by transit reporter Rahul Gupta (@ TOinTransit), as well as other staff on issues that impact our local communities. There’s also helpful information on getting around the city, by car, bike, TTC or GO Train.

Councillors focus on themselves during marathon meeting Council’s marathon July m e e t i n g s t re t c h e d o u t for four days last week. It wouldn’t have gone nearly as long as that, were it not for several juicy items irresistible to councillors in an election year: themselves.

Council spent Tuesday evening, most of Wednesday and a good chunk of Thursday talking about reports from, and the future of, the city’s accountability officers.

A morning and part of an afternoon was spent extracting an apology from Mayor Rob Ford for robocalls; an afternoon closing on the evening was spent extracting a few months of salary from Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti; and another morning was passed, not-quite extracting Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean from her job.

As time-consuming as these were, each of these debates were extraordinary in their own way.

The matter of Ford’s apology to Councillor Paul Ainslie was unique, in that

david nickle the city Ford did in fact apologize.

At the end of the long debate, Ford returned to the council chamber and said sorry for robocalling every house in Ainslie’s Scarborough East ward last year to tell them how he hadn’t consulted with them about his vote against the Scarborough subway, when in fact Ainslie had consulted rather a lot.

There wasn’t much at stake in that matter: Ford has not done what the integrity commissioner has asked in the past, and gotten away with it without consequence.

There was a great deal more at stake in the matter of Mammoliti, who in the end lost three months’ pay over a $80,000 “gift” he received from a fundraiser the integrity commissioner maintained to be improper.

Mammoliti disputes

many elements of the integrity commissioner’s report on the matter, but council was unswayed and overwhelmingly voted to effectively take $26,000 from Mammoliti.

The matter of Mammoliti’s pay cut marks the first time in Toronto’s history council has voted to impose a monetary penalty against one of their own.

The penalty is somewhat diminished by the fact it is so much less than the amount of money that Mammoliti received. But under the rules as they’re written, council could do no more: three months’ pay is as much penalty as an integrity commissioner can recommend and council can impose.

Council did the right thing there, and also in a manner of speaking, in the matter of the future of Toronto’s Ombudsman Fiona Crean.

A critical mass of councillors, including those stung by her criticism of

their work on the Toronto Community Housing board and the Public Appointments Committee, made the prospect of garnering the 30 votes necessary to extend Crean’s appointment impossible.

But a simple majority was all it took to punt the decision to the newly elected council in 2015.

It would have been an awful message to send to accountability officers that their future depended on maintaining good relations with badly behaving councillors.

Council took care of some other, real city business too during those four days – business that had nothing to do with themselves. But even if they hadn’t, at least they were able to finish their penultimate council meeting on something resembling an ethical high-ground when it came to understanding their roles and obligations.

The one-year countdown is on for the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in Toronto JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Thousands packed into Nathan Phillips Square last Friday to kick off a one-year countdown to Toronto’s big chance to host the world.

Premier Kathleen Wynne, Mayor Rob Ford and other politicians were on hand as Cisco unveiled a giant clock counting down the days until the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/

ParaPan Am Games.

The kick-off also marked the start of a two-day celebration in the square with live music, sports, games, food and more.

“This is a wonderful, wonderful opportunity for our city, for our province and for our country,” Wynne said of the Games.

Wynne added the Games would leave a long-lasting legacy for Toronto and for its

athletes in particular, through the construction of highquality sporting venues.

“Ontario led the bid to host the Pan Am Games to showcase Ontario on the world stage and build new community friendly sporting facilities that will allow our athletes to train right here at home,” she said. “They won’t have to go to other venues to find a velodrome, or to find a pool, or to find a track

to practice at because we’re going to have those facilities right here.”

Ford received a mixed reception as he welcomed those in attendance at the countdown ceremony.

“The Games will be an opportunity to display our diverse culture, talents and passion for sports to the rest of the world,” he said.

“Local businesses will also be able to benefit from the

economic opportunities the Games will bring to this great city.”

Pan American Sports Organization Vice-President and three-time Olympian Ivar Sisniega noted the Games will bring the top athletes from North and South America to compete in 36 sports.
