Tory taps Ootes to lead transition team DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com John Tory spent his first day as Toronto’s mayor-elect gathering a stack of binders explaining his new roles – and talking with reporters as storm-clouds rolled over Nathan Phillips Square.

“It’s when you sit down with

the city manager and many others, you get seized of the responsibility you have,” said Tory as he began a lengthy question-and-answer session with reporters the morning after voters asked him to be the successor to Mayor Rob Ford.

“You know I feel a strong sense of public service that

goes with being in this job.

As you see the roster of issues out there, you understand its importance.”

Tory won’t take office for more than a month, but after taking a couple of days off, he will get down to the business of setting up his office, choosing his executive committee and

ordering the agenda for the coming months.

He also announced his Transition Team leader, former city councillor Case Ootes, who will be assembling other advisors and helping Tory hit the ground running when he’s sworn in Dec. 1. >>>MAYOR, page 15

Everything for Folks Who Love

As October draws to a close, organizers at the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer are making a concerted push to bring out as many teams as possible.

The ride, which sees cyclists traverse 200-plus kilometres over two days on their choice of a variety of courses, serves as a fundraiser for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

Participants can choose to ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls or vice versa, or run other routes.

The annual event has become a tradition for a number of families and teams, including the Innes family from Lawrence Park.

Parents Eric and Candace and their sons, Brendan and Scott, first started participating in 2008. “( The Princess Margaret Foundation) had the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers and they wanted to do something for men’s cancers too,” said Brendan Innes. “Our family was quite excited about that.

As a dad, a mom and two boys, we thought it would be great to get involved.”

As they prepared for the race, the Innes family received a massive shock. Eric was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the fall before their first Ride >>>TEAM, page 17

Rock trio thrilled to have songs on hit T.V. shows JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With their profile on the rise following a spot on the soundtrack to the hit TV show Orange is the New Black, things are looking up for Toronto trio Little Foot Long Foot.

Formerly a two-piece band featuring singer/guitarist Joan Smith and drummer Isaac Klein, the band has been rejigged to become a three-piece, with keyboardist Jeff Heisholt joining the ranks and drummer Gavin Maguire replacing Klein.

“The dynamics of the band have completely changed – it was great before and it’s great now, but in a different way,” said Smith, who lives near Toronto’s Koreatown neighbourhood. “Isaac left because he was becoming a dad, so Gavin stepped in. Jeff joined after responding to a craigslist ad, of all things.”

Those changes, along with Smith’s own maturation as a guitarist, have seen Little Foot Long Foot’s style evolve over the years. While the band has always delivered blistering rock and roll with a sprinkling of other genres, recent songs are more complex.

“It started out with more bar chords – simple guitar playing – and music that was

country-tinged with bits of punk because my own guitar abilities at the time weren’t anywhere close to where they are now,” Smith said.

Little Foot Long Foot’s sound combines Smith’s powerful but plaintive yowling vocals with backing music reminiscent of bands ranging from Led Zeppelin to The White Stripes.

While the band gained a solid fan base in Toronto, having their song ‘Kickface’ appear on Orange is the New Black has earned them greater exposure.

Smith admits she was surprised at how much traction their appearance there has earned the band.

“We didn’t realize how big the show was until some girl posted the song on her (YouTube) page and it got something like 50,000 hits,” she said. “We’ve never gotten that many hits for our own videos on our own channel, but any publicity like that is good.”

More than a year after their song appeared on the show, the band is still reaping the benefits.

“We’re selling more records and sending them off to Australia, Germany, the UK – we’ve gotten a ton more US fans, too,” Smith said.

Little Foot Long Foot songs

have also appeared on episodes of Degrassi, the Will Arnett sitcom Up All Night, the Sarah Michelle Gellar series Ringer and the Eva Mendes film Girl in Progress.

The band has just completed a five-song EP dubbed Woman, which was produced

by Colin MacDonald of The Trews.

“Colin’s helped to make our sound more radio-friendly – a more straight-ahead sound,” Smith said. “Sometimes, you can’t see the forest for the trees when you’re all in a rehearsal space together, and the longer you’re in the music game, the more you almost start to write stuff for other musicians as much as for the audience.”

Little Foot Long Foot has started an Indiegogo campaign, which runs through Monday, Nov. 3, to help fund the new album. The band is offering perks for donors that include digital copies of the new CD, hard copies of multiple Little Foot Long Foot albums, executive producer credits, music lessons with the band, personalized songs and outings with the band at Medieval Times or the Backyard Axe Throwing League.

WARD 16: Christin Carmichael Greb wins seat NATALIE CHU ccm@insidetoronto.com Christin Carmichael Greb is the new councillor for Ward 16 (EglintonLawrence), after a narrow victory in the affluent riding.

“It’s still sort of surreal,” she said at her campaign party Monday. “I’m excited and happy to be representing the people of Ward 16.”

Carmichael Greb took an early lead, but claimed the victory with just 3,949 votes, or 17 per cent of the vote. Two other frontrunners came in with less than 20 per cent of voter support.

Carmichael Greb replaces former councillor Karen Stintz, who served the ward for 11 years, and said she would not be seeking re-election after her failed mayoral bid. Stintz gave Carmichael Greb a last-minute endorsement Thursday.

Newly elected mayor John Tory also endorsed Carmichael Greb, a political rookie with experience in the private sector as a business analyst.

The daughter of Don Valley West MP John Carmichael beat out 15 other candidates, including Stintz’s former senior policy advisor Jean-

Ward 16 councillor-elect Christin Carmichael Greb reacts with her husband Michael and son Jackson at Vita Sociale Monday night after winning her council seat.

Pierre Boutros and lawyer Dyanoosh Yousseffi, who came in third place.

Boutros, a frontrunner during the campaign for his extensive knowledge of the transit file, came in fourth, with 2,428 votes.

“There are no regrets. Absolutely

none,” Boutros said. “I ran on principal and people really resonated at the door with what I believed in and there were several strong candidates,” he said.

Runner-up Adam Tanel, who lost by less than 300 votes, said he was

also proud of his campaign.

“I was just thrilled about what our team accomplished,” he said.

Tanel said he hopes some shortterm transit relief will go along with the long-term mayoral plans. He added Ward 16 is threatened by “irresponsible development” and hopes Carmichael Greb will be a key check for the developers.

Throughout the campaign, residents wanted a candidate who would understand how the imminent Eglinton Crosstown LRT and hot development on Yonge Street (Boutros dubbed it the “next Yonge and Bloor”) would soon change the landscape of the ward.

Carmichael Greb promised to get residents involved in the early stages of project proposals.

“Development will happen because we’re a growing city and Ward 16 is a desirable place to live.

So it’s really making sure that we have a conversation, not confrontation,” she said.

Implementing her ‘Safe Streets Pledge’ that would reduce the speed limit to 30km/hr in school zones during school hours is her first priority come December, she said.

WARD 20: Joe Cressy gets nod from Trinity-Spadina JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com In a wide open battle for Ward 20 (Trinity-Spadina), voters have elected Joe Cressy to council.

Cressy was the early favourite in the race, which featured a total of 22 candidates.

He was known in the community for his advocacy work, including time spent working on environmental issues at the Polaris Institute, stints as a board director at The Stop Community Food Centre and Social Planning Toronto and work on Olivia Chow’s ‘I Heart Public Transit’ initiative.

Cressy was also known to residents for his unsuccessful bid to replace outgoing Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow in a June byelection.

He ran as a New Democrat in that race and was defeated by Liberal Adam Vaughan, who had served as Ward 20 councillor prior to running federally.

“In the last year, I’ve learned what it feels like to lose and now I have a sense of what it feels like to win,” Cressy said addressing his supporters. “Let me tell you, winning feels a lot better.”

He cited affordable housing as one of his top priorities within the ward, vowing to speak out for residents who struggle to meet the city’s

high market rental costs.

“We have a wait list in this city of 180,000 people (for affordable housing). Ward 20 is one of the fastestgrowing wards in the city and we have to look at our opportunities to put in place some affordable housing,” he said from his victory party at Ryze nightclub near Bathurst and College streets.

Cressy noted there are plenty of potential affordable housing sites in the ward. Work is already underway on the Alexandra Park revitalization, which will see a number of affordable housing units injected into the area, and another Toronto Community Housing building at 250 Davenport Rd. could also add units.

He added he will work with councillors to push for other new opportunities.

“I know a lot of members of council want to see inclusionary zoning, which requires approval from the province,” he said. “I’m going to work with council to try to get that for our city.”

Cressy also vowed to push for better transit for Ward 20 and for the city as a whole.

The new councillor-elect beat out a slate of opponents that included former mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson, two-time Trinity-Spadina candidate Mike Yen and NoJetsTO

founder Anshul Kapoor, among others.

While he was disappointed Olivia Chow did not win the mayor’s seat, he noted new mayor-elect John Tory was a step up from Rob Ford.

“The first thing we’re all going to have to do as a council and new mayor is bring some dignity and respect back to city hall,” he said.

“After four years of the Ford era, it’s time to heal the city again.”

Mike Layton, who was re-elected in Ward 19 and is a longtime friend of Cressy’s, said he is looking forward to working with the new councillorelect in the coming years.

“I know him to be hardworking and he has strong progressive values,” Layton said. “I’m sure we’ll be working together a lot on a lot of issues that are important to the residents of Trinity-Spadina.”

Cressy earned 42 per cent of the vote, followed by Terri Chu with 12 per cent and Sarah Thomson with 9.454 per cent.

Election night also brought about a highly rewarding victory for the area’s new Toronto District School Board trustee-elect Ausma Malik.

A series of flyers accusing the candidate of being a terrorist sympathizer and suggesting she supports the Toronto 18, who plotted to storm Parliament and behead politicians, by an individual or group calling themselves “Concerned Citizens of Toronto” were circulated to homes in the area, and the candidate faced hate speech and safety concerns at a debate in late October.

At the victory party at Ryze, Malik spoke emotionally about how happy she was that voters in Trinity-Spadina saw through the Islamophobic rhetoric being spewed by some and voted her in as the new trustee for the area.

Ward 19 Incumbent councillor Mike Layton secured a landslide win in Ward 19 Trinity-Spadina.

Layton scooped up 21,220 votes leaving political hopefuls Scott Bowman who received 2,556 votes and Albina Burello and George Sawision in the dust, with 970 and 661 votes respectively.

“We’ve been well behind on transit for many years in the ward,” Layton said at his victory party at the Ryze on College Street.

He said he was disappointed Olivia Chow was not elected to the mayor’s seat.

Ward 22 Voters in Ward 22 (St. Paul’s) have returned incumbent councillor Josh Matlow to council as their local representative.

Matlow easily outpaced a slate of candidates that included challengers Sarfraz Khan, Bob Murphy and James O’Shaughnessy.

The popular councillor, first elected in 2010 after serving as the local public school trustee, tweeted “I love you Ward 22. And congratulations Mayor-Elect Tory! It’s a new day in Toronto.”

Matlow vows to place transit issues first and foremost.

– Justin Skinner

Ward 27 Incumbent councillor Kristyn WongTam has once again been elected to represent voters in Ward 27 (Toronto Centre-Rosedale).

Wong-Tam defeated a slate of nine challengers, including Megan McIver, David Byford, Susan Humfryes, Robin Lawrance, Kamal Ahmed, Alain DAmours and Rob Wolvin.

Wong-Tam vowed to make revitalization around the riding a priority throughout her second term as councillor for the downtown ward.

– Justin Skinner

Ward 28 A familiar face will once again be representing Ward 28 ( Toronto Centre-Rosedale) at city hall.

Pam McConnell, a seven-term Toronto councillor, easily won her seat with 55 per cent of the votes cast beating second place finisher David Blackmore, who received 2852 votes (11 per cent).

Tory has small window to establish credibility as mayor

Write us

M

ayor-elect John Tory must quickly prove he’s a wise choice. More than 60 per cent of eligible Torontonians went to the polls on Monday and elected Tory by a six-per-cent margin over rival Doug Ford.

This signals at least a temporary end to the Ford reign in Toronto, but it wasn’t enough of a victory to suggest Torontonians have denounced any Fordian influence.

In fact, 36 of 37 incumbent council members were re-elected, suggesting Torontonians are happy with their representation at a neighbourhood level – there’s just a different expectation of the person seated in the mayor’s chair.

Tory must achieve significantly better results working with the same councillors who set a dysfunctional tone of civic government during the past four years.

Tory has a small window our view to establish his credibility. So see him build some quick Time to build let’s consensus on SmartTrack or a consensus on similar transit plan, and convince various levels of government and transit potential other funding agencies that the plan will stick and it is the will of Torontonians.

Tory must quickly prove he has the ear and the interest of both provincial and federal governments.

We’d like to see quick signs from the province and the federal government that Toronto’s future issues are a priority befitting the economic engine of the province and there’s no trepidation dealing with – and believing in – the new administration.

Tory has been given the keys to the city. If he can unlock the door and present a bright future, Toronto will reach its potential as a place to live and grow, with smart plans for development catching the eyes of a global marketplace.

If he doesn’t, there’s an alternate view in the brothers Ford, who still hold influence in city politics and will be quick to point out any Tory misstep.

Forgive us for breaking into a baseball analogy: Two years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays brought some fresh all-star faces to their lineup, building anticipation of great things to come.

It took only a limited number of games to realize that team was not going to be a winner, despite all the promise. Toronto can’t afford to fail.

We will see what happens next. But we need to see it quickly.

column

John Tory has his work cut out for him It has been a long wait – a really long wait, for everyone involved.

For John Tory, Monday night’s victory in the hardfought 2014 mayoral election must be like a glass of water after a walk in the desert – finally, a win for a politician who has gamely put his name forward for office so many times, and so many times missed out.

And for Toronto, it is a different kind of relief.

The pillow, finally removed from our collective face, while improbably there is still breath left in our lungs.

The Ford years are done, at least for now.

The city government can turn away from what was understatedly called the “distraction” of the Ford brothers.

We don’t need to spend time attempting to parse the mayor’s barely veiled bigotry, the awful banality of his drug problem, the drama (and melodrama) of

david nickle the city his sticker-baron family.

And the Tory years, whatever they may become, have begun.

They will, of course, contain challenges. But those challenges are not so great as that.

Tory has made much of a need to unite Toronto council as a primary task.

It is unlikely he will have much difficulty in doing so, at least in the short term.

Council has over the past year had a crash course in uniting itself, and maintaining a relatively calm demeanour as it goes about the business of government.

His bigger challenge, as he alluded to in his speech Monday night, will be in uniting Toronto – or more to the point, keeping united those voters who gave him a chance to govern.

It is a definitive mandate, but not an unequivocal one as many voters who might have supported Olivia Chow’s unabashedly progressive mayoralty moved to Tory’s side for fear of a Doug Ford mayoralty.

So it is not likely that the whole of Tory’s support feels, for instance, that SmartTrack and the Scarborough subway are the best way to do transit.

As those two things formed the centrepiece of Tory’s campaign it is unlikely he will abandon them, and he shouldn’t: a promise is a promise.

But he would do well to embrace elements of Chow’s platform as regards to housing and perhaps childcare.

He hinted in his speech that Chow might yet have a role in the work of the city.

It would be good to consider this.

Tory will also have to consider the many people who did not support him,

but voted for the Ford brand in spite of everything.

That is a sizeable portion of the city that rejected both him and any sense of progressive value.

Politically at least, Tory will have need to reach out in that direction.

One way he might do so is heed what seems to be a growing coalition of Scarborough councillors, and move to kill the remaining LRT lines on Sheppard and Finch (the one all-too-achievable element of Doug Ford’s transit plan).

He’ll certainly feel the pressure to do so, even though he is on record supporting the lines.

And that will be the hard thing for Tory: reigning in this new, strong council when it gets an idea in its head.

The Gentlemen’s Expo will appeal to the modern man mark a. cadiz mcadiz@insidetoronto.com

Show slated for Metro Toronto Convention Centre in November

The Gentlemen’s Expo will open its doors to the gentlemen and gentlewomen of the city at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from Nov. 14 to 16.

Entering its second year, the expo has broadened its vision of manliness to a more refined status than its opening year.

Co-founder Settimio Coscarella thinks the time is right for such a show that appeals to today’s modern

man.

“In the last 10 years men’s tastes have definitely changed,” Coscarella said.

“We wanted to create a show that provides content that guys could be proud of, putting together the best ensemble of brands and experiences we can so the guys of Toronto could have a show to call their own.”

T h e e x p o, o f w h i c h insidetoronto.com is the presenting sponsor, will be

spread over 100,000 square feet at the convention centre and will cater to a range of men’s interests from tasting some of the best craft beer in the city to browsing the latest in fashion.

With a solid background in home design, custom furniture design and fabrication, Damon Snider has identified a niche market for his services.

He falls into the modern category himself, and his

company Dude Living Refined is a business that specializes in interior design for men.

“I focus on refining a guy’s space with masculine flair which are women-approved,” Snider said. “You want the designer to reflect your character.”

Snider’s said his design services appeal to men entering their late 20s and early 30s who go out less and prefer to entertain their friends and family at home instead.

“Often these guys want to spend more money on their home and need help and advice to decorate their space,” he said.

At the expo, Snider will be demonstrating how to build a mobile bar cart from scratch by “up-cycling” older materials into a useful furniture piece.

The Gentlemen’s Expo will pack a celebrity punch with former three-time Welterweight Champion UFC

champion Georges St-Pierre, former Toronto Maple Leaf Gary Roberts and ex-Dragon’s Den personality Bruce Coxon all making appearances.

“It’s a home for inspiring and established gentleman everywhere,” Coscarella said.

“This year we want to create a much bigger experience for everyone and that’s including women who are also welcome to the show.”

Halloween release for David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars amanda jerome ccm@insidetoronto.com Abuse, insanity, incest and child stars all play major roles in David Cronenberg’s latest film Maps to the Stars.

The drama by Cronenberg, who grew up on Crawford Street in Little Italy during the 1940s and ‘50s, portrays two families in Hollywood, their lives interconnecting, and how the nature of the entertainment business can be toxic and deadly.

The film stars Julianne Moore as Havana Segrand, a troubled and aging actress desperately trying to land a part her dead mother once played. Segrand’s therapist, played by John Cusack, has a successful child star for a son who is struggling to handle the glare of the limelight.

their families and their minds unravel around them.

Maps to the Stars premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was also shown at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September.

Audiences at Cannes and TIFF thought it a scathing look at the film industry, but direc-

tor David Cronenberg said during an October 22 EOne panel at Montecito restaurant he didn’t mean it as such.

Cronenberg said as soon as he read the screenplay by Bruce Wagner, he knew it was an honest look at the industry based on what he and Wagner have both experienced while working in it.

“In one of the French newspapers, the headlines over the article about the film was ‘je n’ai déteste pas Hollywood’ because they felt I must hate Hollywood and I’ve been waiting for years to do this attack on Hollywood and I said ‘absolutely not’,” said Cronenberg.

“I had no particular desire to attack Hollywood. I don’t even think of the movie as an attack on Hollywood and Hollywood doesn’t owe me anything.”

i

Maps to the Stars will hit theatres on Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31.

The perfect combination is here.

LOOKING FOR BRAINS: A mass of blood and gore took over Toronto’s streets last weekend with the annual Toronto Zombie Walk and Halloween Parade.

Mayor-elect Tory hopes opponents will take on ‘some role’ and Ford seemed locked in a race with as little as 12,000 votes between them at one point and around 20,000 at various times.

There was no nailbiting in the hall at the Liberty Grand when Tory emerged to supporters, following an upbeat, well-produced campaign video apparently made for the event.

“Tonight, voters have sent a message that is abundantly clear,” said Tory.

“Voters want their elected officials to get down to work on the priorities that matter most to them... better transit, more jobs, an end to the gridlock that is choking our streets.

“And the electorate has spoken on one other issue:

from the “circus” surrounding Mayor Rob Ford’s drug abuse scandals.

But he soon drew focus to an ambitious public transit initiative, dubbed SmartTrack, that would use soon-to-be-electrified GO Train lines to provide frequent surface rail transit through Scarborough and the downtown to Etobicoke.

The $8 billion dollar plan’s financing plan – which would make use of tax increment financing on development that would result in nodes

near the downtown core – drew fire from both Chow and Ford as too high-risk.

Voters were unswayed, however, accepting Tory’s faith that the city’s economy and growth projections would ensure enough additional tax revenue to pay for the plan.

Tory had kind words for both Doug Ford and Mayor Rob Ford, who he wished a speedy recovery from the cancer that forced him to leave the mayor’s race to Doug.

He also singled out Olivia Chow for special praise.

“You offered a vision of Toronto that appealed to the best of a lot of us,” he said. “I suspect after a well-deserved rest you will have much more to contribute.”

Tory insisted he had not spoken to any councillors as to their role in the new council.

But Tory said he hopes his opponents in the election – Karen Stintz, Olivia Chow, David Soknacki, Ari Goldkind and Doug Ford – will be able to take some role in fulfilling his agenda.

And he said he hopes to be able to bring the city together throughout his mandate.

“I think the one thing that I know more so than anything else is going to bring the city together is results,” he said.

“If people see transit being built... jobs... their finances organized...they are going to have more confidence in one Toronto.”

If you’re looking for a scare this Halloween, there are plenty of places in the city to find one MARK A. CADIZ mcadiz@insidetoronto.com

Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor...

I

n the city’s 180-year history, Torontonians have encountered a myriad of unexplained phenomena. From the urban tales of Fort York to the Ghost of Glendon College, Toronto has amassed its fair share of paranormal activity.

And with Halloween on Friday, The Villager has decided to share seven eerie sites and ghostly accounts with its readers: 1) Queen’s Park Legislative Assembly of Ontario Known for its Richardsonian Romanesque style and light reddish facade, Ontario’s Legislative building, situated in central Toronto, a known site of unexplained phenomena.

Before the building was constructed in 1886, a female asylum nicknamed the ‘University Lunatic Asylum’ due to its proximity to the University of Toronto, stood in its place.

Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor, the ‘Maiden’ apparently holds her apron over her face; and a woman hanging from a hook has been sighted in the tunnels running beneath the building.

2) Fort York Fort York, one of the first British settlements in Toronto, was a deadly site during the War of 1812. Many invading Americans were killed by a massive explosion ignited by the fleeing British. It is said a mass grave was built for the dead, but no traces of it have been found.

With such a long history, it’s no surprise that Fork York is one of the most haunted sites in the city, according to the sheer number of reports from visitors and staff.

Numerous accounts have been reported about seeing a redcoated guard by the barracks and front entrance. Another popular story recounted by a staff member involves the Officer’s Quarters. One night while closing up, the staff member observed a light coming from the quarters. As he made his way toward the building, he said he could see figures gathered around a dining table. The closer he got to the building the fainter the apparitions became, and once there, any trace

suddenly fainted in the same spot.

of what he thought was a dinner gathering was gone.

3) Colborne Lodge Built in 1837, Colborne Lodge, situated in High Park, was home to John and Jemima Howard.

Jemima died of cancer in 1877.

In the early stages of her illness, Howard became extremely concerned about his wife’s behaviour and wanted to have her admitted to an asylum, but his request was denied. Eventually he confined her to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.

4) Old Finch Road Scarborough Old Finch Road in Scarborough is said to be a site of several haunted tales but the most notorious of them all is about a young lady who was murdered near the site and her body left in the Rouge River in the early 1980s.

Ever since then the area is said to be haunted. The case remains unsolved.

5) Montgomery’s Inn Situated in Etobicoke, Montgomery’s Inn was built in 1830 by husband and wife Thomas and Margaret Montgomery. They ran the inn successfully for 25 years until Margaret’s

death in the mid-1850s. Since then, it has been converted to a community museum where there have been a number of unexplained occurrences reported.

One tale circulating refers to a school trip involving a young girl.

During the tour her teacher realized the girl was missing and went to find her. Apparently the girl said she couldn’t move, saying it was like someone was holding her dress.

Eventually she managed to rejoin her classmates.

Even stranger, years after the school trip, another member of the same family who visited Montgomery’s Inn is said to have

(John Howard) decided to confine (Jemima) to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.

6) Ghost of Glendon College Most York University students are familiar with the legend of the Ghost of Glendon College.

Prior to its university status, Glendon was a residence for the Edward R. Wood family. The Wood family estate was entrusted to York University, and since then, many students living on the campus have reported apparitions of a lady wearing white wandering the garden.

It is also said this same mysterious woman has appeared in photographs taken in the garden.

Students speculate that maybe a woman from the Wood family has taken refuge on the grounds, most likely Wood’s wife Euphemia, who died in 1950.

7) The Old Don Jail The controversial old Don Jail, in the Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street area, was completed in 1864 and is a site infamously known for its 34 hangings. The Don Jail served as the holding point for both male and female prisoners and was the last site where executions took place in Canada after capital punishment was abolished.

Over the years there have been tales of spirits occupying the premises. One tale circulating is about ‘The Lady of the Don,’ a former inmate from the 1890s who hung herself with bed sheets. Several guards have reported seeing an angry, ghostly figure with blond hair wandering the main rotunda area.

Team Innes cracks $1-million mark >>>from page 1 but, despite going through arduous and painful treatment, remained determined to go the distance. He died in 2009.

“My dad was quite successful on the fundraising front and he managed to do the ride even though he was in the middle of chemo,” Brendan said.

That first year, Team Innes had roughly a dozen members. These days, the team averages about 40 members per year, and that group typically raises in excess of $100,000 every ride.

“Last year, we passed the $1 million mark in money raised (over the years), so that was pretty amazing,” Brendan said.

Not being able to make the Top 10 is hardly a bad thing, however.

“It’s great to see how much money gets raised, so even if the amount we raise stays pretty steady, if we’re not in the Top 10, that just means the ride as a whole is bringing in more money,” Brendan said.

While the ride does not take place until June 13 to 14, event organizers are leading

All streets will be swept on two occasions. The operation will continue until November 28, 2014.The map shows the area where the sweeping operation will take place.

Please do not rake leaves onto the roadway or sidewalks from your property. City by-law officers will be enforcing the City of Toronto by-law that relates to the use of streets and sidewalks. Raking leaves onto the roadway is a by-law offence and could result in charges being laid. It is an offence to store, place or dispose of material, including fallen leaves in such a way that it may enter onto a street by any means, including wind or water. In addition, raking, blowing, placing or dumping leaves onto City property (sidewalk, roadway, catch basins, etc.,) can create dangerous conditions, cause flooding on the roadways or on property or cause accidents.

Here’s how to put leaves out for collection: Use reusable containers (any rigid open-top container such as a garbage can, bushel basket, green plastic yard waste bin– no lids) or kraft paper yard waste bags.

Put leaves at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled yard waste collection day. Check your collection calendar for your yard waste collection schedule and more helpful hints.

Sorry, no plastic bags: The City does not collect leaves and yard waste in clear plastic bags or Halloween-themed plastic bags. (If you use these decorative bags, please empty the contents into one of the approved containers listed above before placing out for collection.

Ways to reduce the amount of leaves you put at the curb for collection: Feed leaves to your backyard composter now, plus stockpile leaves to add as dry material during the winter.

Here’s what the City collects as yard waste: Leaves, plant/tree trimmings, weeds and brush. Branches measuring less than three inches or 7.5 cm in diameter should be tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet or 1.2 min length and 2 feet or 0.6 m in diameter. Pumpkins and waste fruit from trees in your yard are also accepted.

Sorry, we can’t accept: Soil, sod, grass clippings, logs or tree stumps.

For more information on yard waste, please call 311 or visit us at www.toronto.ca/compost/yardwaste.htm If you have any questions about the service, call 311
