United Way looking for suggestions JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com United Way Toronto is looking to Torontonians to share more than their time and money this year. The organization, which funds some 200 health and social service agencies across the city, is also asking residents to share their ideas on how to build a stronger Toronto. Members of many of those agencies dropped by Commerce Court Thursday, Sept. 6 as United Way Toronto unveiled its latest initiative, Imagine a City, at its annual fundraising campaign launch. Imagine a City calls on people to go online and share ideas they feel will strengthen Toronto. United Way Toronto president and CEO Susan McIsaac will blog regularly at www.imagineacity.ca, as will 10 guest bloggers from various service agencies. “It’s an opportunity for everyone >>>FUNDRAISING, page 16

Safety audit held in Christie Pits community JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Councillor Mike Layton and members of the Christie Pits community continue to take steps responding to a series of sexual assaults that took

place in the area in August. On Monday, Layton and roughly two dozen residents walked around the area as part of a community safety audit led by the Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Children

(METRAC). Safety audit participants walked along several residential roads from Crawford Street to the west, Clinton Street to the east, Barton Avenue to the north and Harbord Street to the south looking for potential

problem areas. “Certainly, lighting is a big issue,” said Michelle Davis of METRAC. “We also look for what we call sightlines – are the trees overgrown, are the bushes overgrown, are there sharp >>>community, page 14

idtown Toronto residents Jill Lewis and Julie Levin had done their share of volunteer and charity work while living outside the country. When the pair met while on an apple-picking trip, they spoke of their love of giving their time and quickly decided to start an organization to help the less fortunate in Toronto. Together, Lewis and Levin founded Kids Cook to Care (KCTC), a not-forprofit that works to both feed the community and teach youngsters aged six to 16 the importance of volunteering. KCTC offers community meals out of the Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre, with kids working alongside parents or

guardians and a professional chef to prepare, cook and serve the food. “We were looking for something to expose our children to meaningful child volunteer work and we came up with this idea,” Lewis said. “We not only have kids cook the meals, we also make it global with globally inspired food.” The program started in 2009, operating out of Winchester Street Junior and Senior Public School. There, they made use of the community garden to help prepare the meals. Shortly thereafter, KCTC moved to St. Olave’s Anglican Church in the Bloor West Village area and then to the Daily Bread Food Bank in Etobicoke before settling into Christie Ossington two years ago. In its current location,

the organization prepares and hands out roughly 100 meals. “We feed children in (the Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre’s) after-school programs, and their parents when they

come to pick them up,” Lewis said. “It’s children feeding children.” KCTC is limited to roughly 12 child volunteers per session, with the organizers aiming to have kids from different age groups

participate. “We cap it at around 12 so that way, they’re not idle and they always have something to do,” Lewis said. “We get kids from different age groups because different age groups have different skill sets.” In addition to promoting voluntarism, KCTC helps teach youngsters cooking basics. Younger children are typically tasked with basic prep work, though some might take on more challenging tasks if they are able. Lewis said the program has been so successful, they have already been approached by individuals in locations such as Halifax, Vancouver and Seattle looking to start up chapters. “Right now, we’re talking about expanding and looking into corporate sponsors,” Lewis said.

There are still openings for volunteers at the next KCTC event, which will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 at the Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre, 854 Bloor St. W. Under the direction of guest Chef Heinz Lehman, participants will prepare a Bavarian meal that will include lentil soup, boneless ham with peach sauerkraut, Bavarian bread dumplings and a chocolate and raspberry mousse. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the organizers are asking for a $20 donation from participating children to help cover the program’s costs. n For more information or to register, visit www.kidscooktocare.com or email yum@kidscooktocare.com

Accountant hopes to be game changer for child abuse charity JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

ver the past sixplus years, North Toronto resident Mike Ruthard has been striving to make a difference in the lives of children affected by abuse. Now, with the help of the Toronto Argonauts, he could make his impact that much greater. Ruthard was named a Scotiabank Game Changer, earning $1,000 for the charity for which he volunteers, Boost Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention (www.boostforkids.org). As part of an ongoing vote-based competition, he is vying for a chance to win $100,000 to support Boost. Ruthard heard about Boost through word of mouth and instantly wanted to get involved. “It’s a truly, truly hor-

rible, awful thing for kids to have to go through, so anything we can do to push ourselves as a society to stop (abuse) is something I wanted to get involved in,” he said. Ruthard supports Boost due to the organization’s multi-pronged approach to dealing with child abuse. While much of its work centres around prevention and education, Boost also provides support to children who have experienced abuse. “One of the focuses is on prevention, getting into schools and talking to kids both at a younger level and when they’re a bit older and more worldly, to tell them what child abuse is and what to do if they think it’s happening,” he said. “There’s also the intervention aspect; one program is for kids who are about to testify in court. The program helps them

understand what that is and how to deal with it and prepare for it.” Boost also helps children who have been victims of abuse in their dealings with police, social workers and health-care professionals. Ruthard has coached soccer and basketball, including a volunteer stint with the Jane and Finch Boys and Girls’ Club while he was studying at the University of Toronto. He has served on the board of the Hazel Burns Hospice and chaired the Toronto Association of the Canadian Soccer League. Boost has leaned heavily on his financial expertise, making use of his training as a chartered accountant, training that has come in handy during the recent global financial downturn. “Any organization or group needs people who have a sense of finance and money,” Ruthard said.

“That’s a skill set not everyone has and it’s often something that’s very welcome on a volunteer basis.” While his work with Boost has taken place primarily behind the scenes, he remains a staunch advocate of the organization and the work they do. He noted it is up to everyone to help put an end to abuse. “It’s not just the role of social workers and police,” he said. “It’s the role of everybody.” Ruthard is one of 72 people currently nominated as Regional Game Changers, with public voting open at www.scotiabankgamechangers.com until Oct. 14. The top eight Regional Game Changers will be eligible to be named the Scotiabank National Game Changer, with a chance to win $100,000 for his or her charity.

Terry Fox Run: sustain a legacy T

here’s a lesson for volunteer organizations to observe when it comes to the Terry Fox Run. The event has grown enormously over its 32 years and is now a worldwide undertaking – one that even goes beyond the traditional Sunday run in multiple locales. For example, there’s now a separate National School Run Day. There’s also an intriguing new initiative making its debut this year. Canadian university students are being urged to get involved with Terry’s Cause on Campus. Among its goals is “to inspire future generations with Terry’s story of courage, selflessness and hope.” So far, our view nine events are confirmed, including one in Toronto. You can honour Students at University of Toronto will participate in a run the memory of bringing students from all three of its campus locations (down- Canadian hero town Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough) to its Scarborough campus. While most of the university events are taking place Sunday, Toronto’s is scheduled for Oct. 3. It’s a fitting expansion for a number of reasons. Terry Fox was a first-year student at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. when he was diagnosed with bone cancer, which resulted in his right leg being amputated above the knee. The connection of this event to a university campus is an obvious one. Just as importantly, by directly engaging university students – our leaders of tomorrow – Terry Fox Run organizers are making a shrewd, sustainable investment in ensuring the continuation of Fox’s legacy. It also signals renewal. Many organizations run the risk of becoming irrelevant once the generation that created those organizations passes on. It’s a sad, but undeniable reality; volunteer organizations need to consider a form of succession planning if they hope to be sustainable. And there’s reason to hope. Our young people do volunteer. In a Statistics Canada report released earlier this year, titled Caring Canadians, Involved Canadians, nearly 60 per cent of Ontarians between the ages of 15 and 24 volunteered at least once in the previous 12 months. It’s the highest volunteer rate of the six age groups cited in the survey, and well above the provincial rate of 47.7 per cent. Participating in the Terry Fox Run is an excellent way to honour the memory of a bonafide Canadian hero. It always has been. It’s encouraging to see that growth continue and that investments are being made to ensure the continuation of Fox’s legacy. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Recently, the Federal Court of Canada said it is legal for a blogger to quote and link to an online news article in a post. So if you copy a news article headline and summary – with a link to the full version – and post it to your blog or website, you haven’t violated Canada’s online copyright laws. Online content costs owners time, resources and money to create and publish. A blogger or web publisher should still follow a few basic rules when using other’s content. At the very least, the date, name of publication and title (with a link) should be included in the body of a blog post. A direct quote should include a full citation to it at the bottom of a blogger’s article. A Google Internet search makes it easy to find an image to embed within a blog post.

Ford’s political career will survive court case Rob Ford was never going to get out of that courtroom unscathed, and by the time Clayton Ruby was finished with him on the stand last Wednesday, the mayor of Toronto was pretty much on the ropes. At the end of it, our mayor emerged as a seemingly careless steward of the city, wilfully ignorant of the laws he had sworn to uphold, a passionate defender of the social benefits of high school football but disinterested in almost everything else. It’s not a surprise. If Ruby had been permitted to by Judge Charles Hackland, he might have been able to introduce a laundry list of stories with which we are all familiar regarding Ford’s behaviour. Ford’s lawyer Alan Lenczner successfully argued questioning on those matters would do

THE CITY

more than embarrass the mayor. It might also have embarrassed a great many voters – because let’s face it: no one who voted for him could say they weren’t told exactly the kind of guy Ford was. Now, he is facing the real prospect of losing the job to which he was elected. He is accused of contravening the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act when he spoke and voted on the floor of council in February on a matter in which he had a financial interest: a requirement by Toronto Council

that he repay $3,150 to 11 lobbyists who donated to his football charity while he was a councillor. Unless Hackland is persuaded by Lenczner’s suite of finely honed legal arguments – council had no authority to order the repayment; the mayor made an error in judgement in good faith; Ford’s interpretation of the Conflict of Interest Act (which he admitted to never having read) is correct – he will have little choice but to remove the mayor from office. Of course, there will be another election for the mayor should that happen. If the sentence comes down without also imposing a restriction preventing him from running, it could be that Ford becomes a candidate in the byelection called to replace him. It could be that he would

prevail in such a byelection on the well-worn narrative of victimhood: Rob Ford, the candidate who was removed from elected office by a judge for the crime of helping schools in poor neighbourhoods have football teams. If the judge imposes restrictions, count on him running again in the first election he can. And give him good odds of winning that one. Because the time has come to face facts: when it comes to Rob Ford, there is a large constituency of voters who don’t want to face facts when it comes to their candidate. Their love appears to be unconditional. n David Nickle is the Mirror’s City Hall columnist. Contact him at dnickle@insidetoronto. com

City seeks bids to help transform Casa Loma

SIMONETTA LANE

Repairs and maintenance of buildings, grounds should part of deal: councillor DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com

Staff photo/ERIN HATFIELD

A street named after Giuseppe Simonetta: Long time Little Italy resident Giuseppe Simonetta (centre left) has a Toronto laneway that now bears his name. Simonetta is an active member of the neighbourhood. He has been involved in projects including the creation of the Canadian Italian Family Assistance Association and the Good Friday Procession. The ceremony was held Sept. 6 at the laneway near Clinton Street and College Street in Toronto’s Ward 19. Area Councillor Mike Layton (centre right), representatives from the community and some of Simonetta’s family members attended as well.

Toronto’s executive committee has voted to put the call out for bids to operate and possibly transform Casa Loma, the city’s castle at the top of Spadina Avenue. But there won’t likely be any sell-off of the historic mansion that until 2011 had been owned by the city and operated by the Kiwanis Club. The structure, originally built by Sir Henry Pellatt, was seized for taxes when the businessman’s fortune collapsed. The Kiwanis Club had been operating the castle as a tourist attraction and a meeting hall for the club since 1937. In 2011, the city and the

Kiwanis Club formally ended their relationship after it became clear the $20 million in repairs required for the building were beyond the Kiwanis to manage. The structure is currently managed by a board made up of city bureaucrats. The executive committee voted to try and find a private operator that can both manage the building and renovate and restore the entire facility. Local councillors Josh Matlow and Joe Mihevc spoke at the committee. Mihevc, who represents the area adjacent to the site, said any management deal should require the proponent to look after the entire property and unsuccessfully urged the committee to establish a

vision first. “I think that opening it all up from the beginning, you could have a situation where you have just one proponent who says I’m going to focus on the main building and let the others run down because they don’t make money for me,” he said. “The need to invest in good repair is non-negotiable.” Matlow said the new operator should be mindful of the castle’s grand nature. “It should be a place of grandeur,” he said. “There shouldn’t be air conditioners clicking away in the middle of hallways – there should be chandeliers. This is a castle that school kids should be able to visit forever. It is a part of our living history.”

If “itsy-bitsy” didn’t sound silly, that would be the name of this new hearing aid.

KATI

Hi! My name is Kati and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been a carrier for the Mirror newspaper for about 3 and a half years now. In the beginning, I became a carrier because I decided I needed to earn my own money which is how I bought my laptop. It took me a year to earn my share of the laptop, but I remember being very proud of myself for earning that money all by myself. I go to North Toronto Collegiate Institute and will be graduating this year. I’ve decided that in university, I want to have a career in which I deal with music. Most of my free time I am practicing bassoon, which I’ll be playing for a fourth year now. Music really is my life, My favourite style of music is 80’s rock music and glam metal. I also love reading and have an undying love of cars. I go to the Auto Show every year with my dad. This year I will be getting my driver’s license so I can finally go everywhere by myself. When the Mirror newspaper phoned me to tell me I was the Carrier of the Month, I honestly wasn’t expecting it. It was a great surprise and it really made my day.Thanks for choosing me as Carrier of the Month and I will keep on enjoying bringing the news to my neighbourhood!

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Bringing about positive social change can be as challenging as it is rewarding, a fact that is all the more true given the rising prevalence of the online sector. To help people navigate some of the difficulties and pitfalls facing those looking to enact change, OPIRG Toronto, Earthroots and Greenpeace Canada have once again come together with a series of workshops. Dubbed Tools for Change, the workshops will touch on skills ranging from group decision making to organizing rallies to dealing with the media and government officials. Tools for Change came about in 2010 when the three founding organizations realized they could benefit from collaboration. “They were all doing separate training programs for their members and thought ‘why don’t we get together and run one public program?’” said Jessica Bell, Tools

a chance to meet with likeminded individuals. Bell said that, in time, Tools for Change aims to look into setting up a stronger network between people and organizations. There is an admission fee to attend a workshop, but in the interest of keeping it open to as many people as possible, organizers have implemented a sliding scale. “It’s generally between $10 and $90, but there are scholarships available for those who can’t pay,” Bell said. “Most of the funding goes toward paying the trainers so we can have talented people running the workshops and to make sure they can devote a good amount of time to preparing the workshops.” Natalie Caine, Tools for Change coordinator and Greenpeace volunteer organizer, said the workshops will help others gain the skills they need to bring about real change for the betterment of all. “A healthy society and environment depend upon active and effective civic engagement. Tools for Change is a

‘Tools for Change is a pathway that helps people connect with others and take steps to improve the world around them.’ – Natalie Caine, Tools for Change coordinator for Change co-founder and coordinator. The initiative has grown since it launched in 2010, with 30 per cent more spaces for participants at each workshop and an increase in the number of workshops offered from 12 to 19. To ensure the workshops get to the crux of the matter, organizers reached out to various not-for-profits and community groups. “We asked them what kind of skills they thought were most important for their volunteers,” Bell said. “We got a lot of similar answers – how to get media attention, how to chair meetings, how to organize a march or a rally and how to use social media.” Surprisingly, one of last year’s best-attended workshops focused on using

Google to do research. Given its popularity, Bell said Tools for Change will hold a similar workshop this year. Because the topics are broad, they apply to individuals and organizations across the board whether they are concerned with social justice issues, environmental issues or just starting to find their footing in bringing about social change. “We’ve had a lot of students come out,” Bell said. “There are a lot of people who attend the workshops who are just starting to get politically active and want to know how to go about creating change.” In addition to providing information on various aspects of social and political activism, the Tools for Change workshops offer participants

he Stop Community Food Centre’s Food for Change program has been serving up delicious meals for the past three years. Starting on Friday, Sept. 14, the program will take on a new tack. Food for Change is relaunching, this time with themed dinners, with proceeds from the meals going toward The Stop’s antihunger programs, including its drop-in program, food banks, community kitchens and gardens and more. “Traditionally, we’ve had five-course meals and people can get dinner with or without wine pairings,” said Christina Palassio of The Stop. “Now, each dinner will have a theme with all the courses and the pairings related to the theme.”

The first theme will be Childhood Meals, with a menu including chicken wing tacos, gourmet spaghetti and meatball pizza with fresh arugula and Gouda, a macaroni and cheese ball stuffed with cheddar and foie gras, a pulled pork cheese sandwich and more. “We’re trying out familystyle dinners as well as giving our longtime supporters something new,” Palassio said. The meals are prepared by some of Toronto’s top chefs under the guidance of chef Chris Brown of Perigree and Group of 7. “It’s a popular event, and we max out at 50 (guests) because of space restrictions,” Palassio said. “The guests are seated at shared tables so it’s comfortable and intimate and gives people a chance to talk about the food.”

Representatives from The Stop will speak to guests about the organization’s programs and how their money is helping those who need it. Those with less adventurous palates can also help out in the kitchen to get a taste of the life of a chef while also supporting The Stop. Further themes include a focus on world crops, oceans and a global holiday party with traditional holiday meals from around the world. Food for Change will relaunch at The Stop’s Green Barn, 601 Christie St., with a reception at 6 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 on Friday, Sept. 14. Dinner is $75, or $150 with wine pairings, while kitchen crew spaces are available for $100. For reservations, contact Danielle Goldfinger at 416652-7867, extension 225.

Like so many Canadians, Denise Andrea Campbell was moved and inspired by the late NDP leader Jack Layton. The inspiration was so great, in fact, it led her to create a book detailing the impact the former NDP leader had on Canadians and Canadian politics. The book, I Am Jack Layton, came about as what Campbell calls “a series of happy accidents.” The Regent Park resident was working in City Hall when the true impact Layton had became clear to her. “When the Jack tributes started outside City Hall, I came outside and I was struck by the number of people writing in chalk about what he meant to them,” she said. “I had always been moved by Jack, but I was really moved by the outpouring of grief.” She started photographing the written and drawn tributes and posted a few on Facebook, which quickly garnered the attention of

friends. From there, she began to put together what eventually became her book. “I started to put a book together, but it was only for my own use,” she said. “In February, I showed it to my partner who said, ‘This is phenomenal; you can’t keep it to yourself.’” I Am Jack Layton includes photos of the chalk drawings, Layton’s public viewing and funeral, and testimonials from numerous people, who shared what the leader of the official Opposition meant to them and how he changed their lives. “People certainly talked about being inspired by how Jack lived his life and did his work based on positivity,” Campbell said. “He focused on the issues and got things done.” She never worked with Layton while at City Hall, but said she was hugely inspired by Layton’s dignity, honesty and class. “There were so many things he stood for in terms of causes and that was certainly inspiring, but it was more than that,” she said. “It was how he worked at trying to

build communities, find common ground and build understanding between people.” Campbell and her partner have even joined the Metropolitan United Church after hearing Rev. Brent Hawkes deliver Layton’s eulogy. I Am Jack Layton outlines the impact the politician had on everyone from students to politicians. Campbell began interviewing people for that portion of the book in June and was taken aback by how many people found inspiration in

Layton. “(Bramalea Gore Malton MP) Jagmeet Singh talked about how Jack came to him several times when something seemed insurmountable, and Jack just told him, ‘If what you’re doing is right, don’t let people stop you,’” she said. The author moved into the newly revitalized Regent Park two years ago and loves the area both for the sense of community it provides and for the Laytonesque way neighbours help neighbours. “It’s a beautiful place to live – it’s quiet and the people really care about each other,” she said. “I love the idea of the revitalization and the idea that the price of my house goes toward helping to build the community.” Campbell self-published the book on www.blurb.com and it is now available in hardcover, softcover and ebook at www.blurb. com/bookstore/detail/3508487 Fo r e a c h h a rd c o py s o l d , Campbell will donate $2 to the White Ribbon Campaign, a campaign Layton helped start to end violence against women.

Some of Canada’s top tattoo artists will lend their talents to help ensure kids in St. James Town get arts training of their own. North Toronto tattoo parlour Seven Crowns will host Cautionary Tales, an art auction at the Six Degrees Nightclub near Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue, with paintings, sculptures and multi-media pieces being sold to raise funds for Art City. The art auction will be the third annual such event hosted by Seven Crowns owners George Brown and Matthew Ellis. Ellis first got involved with Art City when he participated in a similar event held at the Northern Ink Xposure Tattoo Show in 2007. “They did something at the MOCCA (Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art) and put that money towards Art City in St. James Town,” Ellis said. “Art City brought the kids to the event and we got to know what a great program it is.” Cautionary Tales will take place at Six Degrees, 2335 Yonge St., starting at 8 p.m. Sunday.

“Ideally, it will shed light on some of the things that need to get looked at by the city so they can implement changes,” – Leah Timmermann, Christie Pits resident

Staff photo/JUSTIN SKINNER

Councillor Mike Layton’s assistant Angela Surdi, holding the clipboard, participates in a community safety audit in the Christie Pits neighbourhood Monday evening.

safety audit takes the negative focus off of drug users and sex workers in the area, who she said have been unfairly vilified following the assaults, which police believe were carried out by a single suspect. “If anything, the drug users and sex workers bring more activity to the streets at night to make things safer,” she said. Though safety audit par-

ticipants were overwhelmingly female, Ridgley said she was pleased to see some men joining the safety audit and doing their part to combat sexual violence. “I love that the boys are putting up posters,” she said. Liz Brockest, a resident and one of the organizers of the Sept. 3 rally in Christie Pits, concurred. “It’s important

that men contribute to advocacy in ending gender-based violence,” she said. Brockest added the safety audit was a great follow-up to the community-led event on Labour Day. Participants were asked to fill out surveys as they walked through the community, highlighting their own areas of concerns and particular problem areas they spotted. METRAC will collect the results of the surveys and pass them along to Layton, who will work with the city to bring about the changes necessary to make the community safer.

Fundraising campaign goal set for $116 million Ammunition ban shot down by executive committee >>>from page 1 in the community to sign up and share their ideas for how to build a better city,” McIsaac said. “One of the things we’ve realized is that people out there have so many great ideas and we want to hear them.” Guest blogger Kadeem Robin of East Metro Youth Services – one of the United Way’s member agencies – will blog about the importance of positive role models for young people. “Not having a role model when I was younger caused me to seek out other people to fill that role,” he said. “I first noticed it when I was young and walking in the snow, back when Toronto got a lot of snow. I realized it was easier to walk in the footsteps of someone else.” Robin benefited from East Metro Youth Services’ programs and now hopes to let others know of the impact they can have by being a positive role model, or simply by supporting the United Way. While the launch of Imagine a City marked a major part of the United Way’s campaign launch, the organization also unveiled its fundraising target for the coming year. United Way Toronto has set a $116 million target, $1 million more

Members of local service agencies unveil the $116 million fundraising goal for the United Way’s 2012 fundraising campaign during a launch event for the campaign at Commerce Court last Thursday.

than the amount raised last year. “We know it’s going to be tough, but the agencies we fund really, really need the money,” McIsaac said. “What they’ve told us is that the demand has increased and it’s increasingly difficult to get (outside) funding as well.” McIsaac said agencies that provide youth services and employ-

ment services seem to have had a particularly rough go of it over the past year. “Those agencies are under pressure and we want to give them the support they need,” she said. ■ For more information on United Way Toronto and its latest campaign, visit www.unitedwaytoronto.com
