Evangel Hall Mission takes bite out of dental care JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

Good dental health is a key to overall well-being, but for far too many people, the costs

of even the most basic dental appointments makes check-ups unaffordable. Downtown Toronto charity Evangel Hall Mission (ehm) is doing what it can to bridge that

gap by offering free dental care to homeless and low-income individuals and families. The mission has served some 750 clients since it opened in 2009, with many coming back

for repeat visits. “A lot of our clients come to us through our drop-in program for homeless people, but some are living paycheque to >>>SERVICES, page 12

Cinephiles and art aficionados are getting set to book their Rendezvous with Madness when the world’s largest film festival focusing on mental health issues returns. T h e Re n d e z v o u s w i t h Madness festival was founded in 1993 by Workman Arts, an organization dedicated to supporting and empowering artists with mental illness and addiction issues. In addition to the multitude of films being screened at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, this year’s festival, which runs Nov. 10 to 15, includes a pop-up multimedia art installation at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). “We wanted to add an (art) installation component to the festival last year, but we didn’t manage to work it in, in time,” said Rendezvous with Madness program director Jeff Wright. “It can be hard to get people out to see the films sometimes, but this gives people a chance to take in some of what the festival’s about.” The exhibit, dubbed Snoozeland, brings video, found footage, animation, sculpture, drawings and audio together to turn CAMH into a bright and >>>FESTIVAL, page 10

Harbord Collegiate honours three veterans JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Harbord Collegiate Institute has long honoured its former students who lost their lives in the First World War. This year, they will honour three more with the addition of three overlooked names to the school plaque commemorating Harbordites who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The names of Lt. Myer Tutzer Cohen, Lt. Col. Thomas Craik Irving and Lt. Walter Howard Curry will be added to the list of soldiers honoured on the plaque. “There were over 500 students and staff of Harbord Collegiate who served in the First World War,” said Syd Moscoe of Harbord alumni association the Harbord Club. “Over the years, we’ve been able to trace about 460 or 470 or them, but it’s not unusual for people to come along and say ‘these (soldiers) went to Harbord.’”

What is unusual is for three such soldiers to be unearthed in a single year. Moscoe noted Earl Chapman, a volunteer historian with the Black Watch, called about a year ago to ask whether the school knew anything about Lt. Cohen. “That wasn’t someone we had on our list,” he said. “Then in June of this past year, Fiona (Smith) came around asking about a second officer, Lt. Curry. In July, we got notification of a third who also went to Harbord, Lt. Col. Irving.” Smith learned of Lt. Curry’s Harbord affiliation while researching soldiers who attended St. Andrew’s Church for a remembrance concert there. “I was trying to find out more about him and someone mentioned that he had gone to Harbord Collegiate,” she said. “I went there and looked at the war memorial in front of the school and he wasn’t on it.” When she mentioned the

possible link to the school, they found that he had, in fact, attended Harbord. Through her research, Smith learned

he had grown up on Nassau Street and is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Following the work she did in uncovering Curry’s link to the school – and when a search for the former soldier’s surviving relatives turned up nothing – Smith was invited to lay a wreath in his honour on Nov. 11. “He had a couple of brothers who also died and we couldn’t find much else about his family,” she said. “I feel honoured to be able to lay the wreath for a neighbourhood boy.” This is not the first time Harbord has updated its plaque, though Moscoe admits

he has been unable to unearth dates or details regarding previous additions made to the list of names. “We know there was an additional plaque affixed to one side of the monument and there were names added afterward because some of them are out of alphabetical order,” Moscoe said. Adding the three soldiers to the school’s military honour roll is hardly a simple task. To ensure the lettering fits perfectly with the existing names – and keeps in step with lettering styles found back in the days of the First World War – each letter has to be hand-crafted. The school will honour those who lost their lives during the First World War – with a special ceremony for the three lost soldiers – at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Lawyer helps soldiers get honourary calls to the bar

More than 200 law students from Ontario fought in the First World War and 60 died

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Warriors Hall, K Wing, 2075 Bayview Ave., between Eglinton and Lawrence avenues

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com More than 60,000 Canadian soldiers died in the First World War, with their dreams and aspirations perishing with them. Thanks to diligent research by downtown Toronto resident, lawyer and Air Cadet League Governor Patrick Shea, the Law Society of Upper Canada is doing what it can to honour some of those soldiers. Sixty Canadian troops whose law school training was interrupted so they could serve during the First World War are set to receive honourary calls to the bar to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the conflict. “When World War I began, a lot of the people who served were still students, and the Law Society encouraged them to enlist,” Shea said. “Over

200 students enlisted (from Ontario) and 60 of these students were killed before they could get called to the bar.” Shea called upon the Law Society of Upper Canada to recognize the sacrifices made by these soldiers. He himself handled the research, poring through archives, school records and military records. Not only did he track down their names, he also wrote brief biographies of the 60 fallen soldiers based on the information available, and did what he could to track down their living relatives. “To find their families, I did something very conventional – I bought a membership at ancestry.ca,” he said. “I tracked down birth certificates, marriage records, death certificates and then I just made cold calls (to potential family members.)” Shea’s extensive research allowed him to track down living descendants for roughly

Patrick Shea has been researching students-at-law who were killed in the First World War. Due to his efforts, some 60 soldiers will receive honourary calls to the bar on Nov. 10. Shea’s research has been detailed in a book, ‘They Shall Grow Not Old’, which offers bios of the 60 slain soldiers.

half of the 60 fallen soldiers, and as news of his project has spread, more family members have started contacting him, as well. Those families have been invited to watch their ancestors get called to the bar, and to a dinner in their honour. They will also receive copies

of They shall grow not old, a book that contains the biographies Shea has written, along with other details of Canada’s involvement in the First World War. While the research he undertook to learn about the soldiers and contact their families was extensive, Shea said it was a worthwhile endeavour. “For me, one of the biggest pleasures was the sound of people’s voices when they heard their relatives were getting an honourary call (to the bar,)” he said. “They went to fight in the war and now, 100 years later, they’ll get what was so important to them.” The soldiers were often close – Shea noted many of them were neighbours or friends before going off to serve. “The founder of Wychwood Park, Marmaduke Matthews, his grandson was one of the officers who died. That grandson – Ambrose Goodman – and two others all lived in the Wychwood area,” he said. “There are also letters from (one fallen soldier) home to his family where he would

talk about (another fallen soldier) or stories where two of them died not 20 feet apart.” While They shall grow not old is being printed for the families of the fallen soldiers, Shea said a soft copy of the book will be hosted at www. gowlings.com once the print edition is out. The online edition will allow new photos and details to be added to the history. The downtown lawyer is still fielding calls regarding Ontario soldiers who died in the First World War, and is devoting time to expanding the project. “It wasn’t just Ontario – across the country there were at least 220 law students killed (in the First World War) and I have basic bios for all 220 of them,” he said. “I’m hoping to have law societies across Canada call them to the bar.” He is also hoping to conduct a similar project for students-at-law killed in the Second World War.

Anyone looking to add to the project is welcome to contact Shea at Patrick.shea@gowlings.com

fter recent events in Quebec and Ottawa saw the killing of two Canadian military personnel, and an attack on Parliament Hill, it is important to remember that soldiers continue to serve our country every day – both at home and abroad. Torontonians went to the polls Oct. 27 to elect a mayor and city councillors who will govern our city for the next four years. With Remembrance Day taking place this Tuesday it’s beholden to Torontonians to remember what those who serve this country are fighting for – the right for democracy allowing every single one of us to vote for our elected officials, and to stand up for what we believe in as a country, province and city. This sentiment has been said before, perhaps every Remembrance Day, and in the pages of this newspaper – but with the recent election and a federal election in 2015, it is a sentiment worth repeating. our view Voter turnout increased for the 2014 municipal election – Use your right more than 60 per cent of those to be involved eligible cast their ballots – and is something we should strive and be heard to do each and every election. Engagement pays respect to those who fought for our right to engage in politics. But once you’ve cast your vote – whether you liked the outcome or not – it is not time to stand still. Your vote continues, your opinion continues, and your ability to impact policy and decisions continues. If all you do is cast a ballot but do little else over the next four years, then it was all for naught. Participate in town halls, call your councillor, join a residents’ or community association and let your voice be heard. With each military mission Canada has engaged in – including the most recent one against ISIS – our country offers up its military family to fight for freedom. Not just ours, but the freedom of other countries and innocent people. Voting is a sometimes dangerous endeavor in many countries. For us it is simple: go to a polling station and participate. No worry, no danger. We owe it to every soldier who fought for our freedom to remain engaged in the political future of our country, province and our city.

It’s crucial for mayor-elect John Tory to get executive committee right It is a quiet time at Toronto City Hall this week. With the new council weeks away, radio silence seems to be the watchword. In at least the first part of the week, Tory took some time off to recharge after a long campaign. If councillors have heard from him or his team about their roles in the new administration, they’re not talking about it. The mayor-elect did tell a local radio show the would hope to noticeably improve traffic congestion by early 2015. But he’s going to have to deal with another congestion issue a little bit sooner than that: namely, deciding the shape of his executive committee. Case Ootes, who’s heading up Tory’s transition team, wouldn’t speculate on how that committee

david nickle the city would find its shape, but he did acknowledge that the committee would be no good if its members didn’t help Tory implement his agenda. Getting this one right is crucial. The question is, what kind of ‘right’ is right for John Tory. When Ootes helped Rob Ford make an executive committee four years ago, the two came up with a membership that was entirely suburban, mostly male and of a single mind politically. Councillors from the former City of Toronto and most of the women on council were on the outside. That composition suited the Ford administration as

he wasn’t elected on a mandate of conciliation, and a divided council suited his style. Tory’s playing a different game. He’s billed himself as a city-healer. If that promise is going to bear fruit, he’s going to have to reach across the aisle. Not altogether, of course: if reliable city hall conservatives like Denzil MinnanWong don’t find a place on Tory’s executive, then the city is truly out of joint. And it is unlikely that just-as-reliable progressives like Gord Perks would be either eager to participate or welcome on a Tory executive committee. But there are plenty of voices who have spent time on the outside this past term that might find a seat inside on this one. Ward 15’s Josh Colle, Ward 22’s Josh Matlow, Ward 27’s

Kristyn Wong-Tam all sit at various removes from Tory’s fiscally conservative, socially liberal realm of politics. Shelley Carroll from Ward 33 is like many of Tory’s supporters, a card-carrying Liberal but over the past four years a persistent opponent of the Ford agenda. Will Ootes recommend councillors like these to round out the committee and extend Tory’s reach? Or will he, and Tory, pick a more consistent core of supporters? It might be a good survival strategy to hunker down. But there is a difference between survival and success – and we will see in the coming weeks whether Tory and his team know what that is.

David Nickle is The Mirror’s city hall reporter. His column appears Thursday.

Ready, Set, Inspire! event targets adults Nov. 12 at Toronto Reference Library JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Future Possibilities for Kids (FPK) typically focuses on empowering youngsters aged nine through 12 by showing them what’s possible. The organization’s upcoming Ready, Set, Inspire! event, however, will offer up words of wisdom for adults. Ready, Set, Inspire! is an FPK fundraiser, and it brings exceptional thinkers and leaders to the fore to highlight some of the keys to their success. This year’s event will feature astronaut and former International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield, City of Toronto chief planner Jennifer Keesmat and Purpose Capital co-founder and managing director Assaf Weisz. “The Ready, Set, Inspire! speakers exemplify the qualities and values we emphasize in the program,” said FPK

board chair Mark Landers. “Our goal is to get children to think about their future, think bigger, set goals and change the world.” Landers said more than 50 guest speakers were nominated for the event, which made it difficult to whittle the candidates down to three. All three, however, were extremely worthy choices. “Besides his success as an astronaut, Chris has done a lot of work raising awareness of math and sciences and pro-

moting their importance,” Landers said. “Jennifer’s gone from an important role in planning to doing TED Talks and promoting strong communities, while Assaf, for a young gentleman, is very accomplished in his approach to social thinking.” The funds raised through the event will go a long way toward helping FPK reach its expansion goals. Last year, the organization provided support, self-confidence building and leadership skills training to some 100 kids – many of whom come from at-risk homes – throughout the GTA. This year, that number rose to 160, and Landers said the goal is to increase membership to roughly 400 children in the next five years. Ready, Set, Inspire! will take place in the Toronto Reference Library’s Bram and Bluma Appel Salon from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Artists Marc Ngui and Magda Wojtyra, who live nearby in the Christie Pits community, worked with Workman Arts participants to create Snoozeland. “Very early on, there was a push for something that was comforting and warm and that looked at the good parts of life, partly because of the location and partly because that’s a big part of mine and Marc’s work,” Wojtyra said. “It’s a diorama – kind of like a Santa’s workshop where dreams are made.” The artist added working with artists from the Workman Arts program was a great experience as they shaped the piece together.

This year’s festival lineup includes full-length animated feature Rocks in my Pocket, which depicts filmmaker Signe Baumane’s family’s struggles with mental illness; No-No: A Documentary,

which highlights the career of former major league pitcher Dock Ellis’ triumph over amphetamine addiction; and Art of Darkness, which follows artist Bryan Lewis Saunders, who has painted a self-portrait every day since 1995, including some while using perception-altering drugs.

Services include fillings, root canals >>>from page 1 paycheque and others are new Canadians with no status,” said ehm clinic coordinator Arsema Okbat. “Our criteria is someone has to have an income of $16,000 or less.” The patients are referred to the clinic by a variety of service agencies across Toronto and elsewhere throughout the GTA. The mission’s dental clinic features hygienists-in-training doing placements from college, plus two regular dentists and a denturist. “We do basic services like cleanings, fillings and root canals; we do dentures,” Okbat said. “When people lose their teeth, they can’t smile and they lose their self-esteem.” Children’s needs are often overlooked when it comes to programs such as the dental

clinic, but ehm has one dentist who specializes in pediatric dental care, ensuring that anyone from the age of one up can receive dental care. “The dentists and the denturist volunteer their time so everything’s free of charge,” Okbat said. weekly visit The hygienists see six to eight patients every Monday, with the dentists coming in once a week and the denturist also making a weekly visit. Because the services come at no cost to patients, the clinic is limited in the services it provides, but those who use the service know just how valuable it can be. “I had an accident a while ago so I couldn’t work and I pretty damn near ended up homeless with my son,” said

John Oster, who has used the clinic on multiple occasions. “There’s absolutely no way I could have afforded squat, so being able to get treatments for me and my son was huge.” Oster was impressed with more than the free service – he was pleased with the quality of care and the warmth of those who treated both he and his son. “They were very professional and extremely nice, which was especially good for my son,” he said. ehm also has a medical office on-site to deal with other medical issues its clients face. The organization is recruiting volunteer hygienists and dentists. For more information, call 416-504-3563, extension 290 or visit www.evangelhall.ca/ services/health-dental-clinic

Lest We Forget

Honouring our heroes on Remembrance Day Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle.

Lest We Forget

On November 11, Canadians honour our past and present military. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on Remembrance Day. One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a

region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem

titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers the opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

Four items mayor-elect John Tory should make a priority DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com In just weeks, John Tory will be taking over the job of mayor from Rob Ford – becoming the amalgamated Toronto’s fourth mayor. Voters have handed Tory a fractured and fractious city government whose problems will require complex solutions. We’ve spent nearly 10 months listening to the promises Tory hopes will resolve those issues: transportation gridlock, a lack of leadership, a divided council and a weakened position with other levels of government. Voters also expressed some expectations. Forty per cent of those who voted want to see Tory keep his promises. Sixty per cent expressed wishes and hopes that Tory didn’t address: worries about child care and children’s nutrition, and higher-order transit in corners of the city not addressed by Tory’s plan. If Tory is to successfully unite Toronto as he’s promised, he’s going to have to speak to all those expectations. Here’s what we’ll be watching for: Leadership: on repairing a wFormer city – and council – divided Mayor Rob Ford’s approach

to politics has served to widen those divisions – to the point that the normal channels of leadership all but collapsed in late 2013 and were replaced by a provisional government barely held together by the straining goodwill of city councillors. This term offers an opportunity to begin anew, with a new mayor who has run expressly on his ability to lead and build consensus. In a 10-point code of conduct, Tory pledged to treat his colleagues, his office and his constituents with respect. That’s a good start, but it’s only a start. Tory will have to not only build the base of political support on council he needs in order to put his agenda into effect – he will have to deal with a council traumatized by four years of unprecedented division. City-wide, Tory must deal quickly with the reality that for much of Scarborough and Etobicoke, he is a second choice. DIVERSITY: TORY ON BUILDING wBEHIND’ A CITY WHERE ‘NO ONE IS LEFT

Tory takes charge of a city increasingly divided between richer and poorer neighbourhoods, and where many new Canadians and people

with disabilities do not think they have the same chance to participate. South Asian business groups told Tory companies led by first and second-generation Canadians don’t think city hall has a “fair process” for awarding contracts. Tory didn’t think that was a conscious exclusion on the city’s part. But he said he’d make certain one such business was placed on each short list for city contracts. As CEO of Rogers, he said, he had at least one woman considered for each executive job, and many won on merit. Tory said he’d urge Ontario’s professions to accept more foreigntrained candidates, and suggested doing more to integrate Toronto’s ethnic chambers of commerce with mainstream bodies such as Toronto and Region Board of Trade. Tory, however, didn’t agree with Olivia Chow that the city should force all its contractors and suppliers to hire or train people from disadvantaged areas of the Toronto, or visible minorities or persons with disabilities. Tory told an audience of people with disabilities he would be a powerful advocate for them if elected, but “people have to decide to do the right thing.”

INTER-GOVERNMENTAL wSALESPERSON’ RELATIONS: ‘CHIEF

John Tory has cast himself as the ‘chief salesperson’ Toronto has lacked for four years, a leader with a personal reputation strong enough to “sell, sell, sell” his city to the world. We know politicians like that idea: MPPs, MPs and city councillors endorsed Tory. He’s “the person we need” at city hall, said Brad Duguid, a provincial minister from Scarborough who said Tory would be a “stable mayor” whose council won’t change its collective mind on important issues.

Immersion students are welcome

2014 mayoralty race put forward ways to relieve that congestion. Toronto voters expect Tory to come through on some big promises: he’s got to get his SmartTrack plan on the rails quickly in order to meet his self-imposed schedule of a fully-operational frequent-service surface rail line stopping at 22 stations. Tory has pointed to this infrastructure plan as not only a way to meld the city together geographically, but also socio-economically, giving Torontonians a way to connect with employment regardless of the neighbourhoods in which they live.
