Teaching money smarts in school is absolutely necessary

Cycling advocates, however, didn’t give up on Scarborough or other sections of Toronto far from downtown where, unlike bike savvy neighbourhoods such as Trinity Bellwoods and Danforth Avenue, cyclists in traffic might still seem alien. In 2016, they opened two bike hubs in Southwest Scarborough where, says Marvin Macaraig of Scarborough Cycles, riders shun wider roads for Birchmount, Pharmacy and Midland Avenue, where traffic volumes are lower. It’s not just a lack of bike lanes: Toronto’s suburbs have few stores selling or repair-

ing bikes (for all its size, Scarborough has just one). A downtown innovation, hubs offer repair clinics, safety tips and group rides, building confidence in cycling. “In this first year,” Macaraig says “we have learned that there is a definite need and appetite for increased cycling programming in Scarborough.” Researching barriers to cycling in the suburbs, Beth Savan, a senior fellow at University of Toronto’s Massey College, believes they can be overcome. Drivers got used to cyclists downtown, she says, and it won’t be rapid, but this “cultural shift” will happen in the suburbs, too. If the city sticks to its plans, bike lanes are coming by 2025 to Midland in Scarborough, to Jane, Yonge and Bathurst streets in North York, and to Burnhamthorpe Road and Renforth Drive in Etobicoke. Your neighbours might even like it.

Councillor Michelle Holland in Southwest Scarborough wiped out bike lanes on Pharmacy Avenue and Birchmount Road. Her residents, she said, called hundreds of times, demanding this. The Rob Ford administration believed suburban cyclists wanted to ride on well-lit off-street trails, not busy city streets. But that same year, councillors with wards atop the Scarborough Bluffs shelved extensions of the Waterfront Trail through three local parks - public lands you own - after getting earfuls from the neighbours. Some claimed cyclists speeding through these parks on new paths would collide with seniors and dog-walkers; they would scare wildlife away. Between 1996 and 2011, there was an “explosion” of cycling in Toronto’s core - in some areas, 20 per cent of trips were now by bike - but cycling in outer areas had declined.

as how to think long-term early, you’ll create smarter citizens, which creates a stronger economy for the Province of Ontario,” he said. Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter met with the TYC and has agreed to a curriculum review and adding the material to the mandatory Grade 10 career studies course. The Bank of Canada warned this year that consumer debt is growing at a historic rate - due much in part to record-low interest rates - and that it will eventually become unsustainable. No doubt, the adult population suffering under the weight of this debt could have benefitted from mandatory financial literacy classes in school. It’s not too late to give younger generations the skills needed to budget, manage debt, file taxes and purchase property. Kudos to the students that are taking action to make those lessons part of the high school experience. But, as the TYC argues, those lessons need to carry enough weight to stick with them for the rest of their lives. The broader student body may not currently realize what good their peers are doing for them, but once they start their careers, take on rent or mortgages and juggle bank accounts and credit cards, it’ll be come evidently clear.

CYCLING CULTURE PUShING ITS WAY INTO SUBURBS

This year, for the first time, the total amount of household debt owed by Canadians surpassed the country’s entire gross domestic product (GDP). And according to Statistics Canada, the gap between disposable household income and credit market debt is getting wider - meaning we’re just not making enough money to catch up to what we owe. For people who are struggling to find financial balance, figuring it out often comes well after the problem’s already established. For younger generations, these trends indicate a critical need for them to get money smart before it’s too late. Thanks to the Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC), there’s good news on that front. Its members started a petition and successfully lobbied the province’s Ministry of Education to include dedicated financial literacy offerings in the high school curriculum. The subject is currently touched upon in a variety of courses between Grades 4 and 12. But it’s not enough, suggests TYC member Prakash Amarasooriya, who spoke to us about the campaign. Teachers aren’t being trained properly and the opportunity for impactful learning is being missed. “If students are aware how to use basic financial tools as well

Let there be Light Justin skinner jskinner@insidetoronto.com The holiday season is officially here, with popular holiday traditions set to once again light up downtown Toronto. The Distillery District will host its annual Christmas Market starting on Friday, Nov. 18, with a treelighting ceremony set to kick off celebrations at 6 p.m. Some 18,000 lights will adorn the market’s enormous white spruce tree, and a surprise guest is expected to help ring in the season. On Saturday, Nov. 19, the BloorYorkville BIA is once again kicking off its annual Holiday Magic celebration with a tree-lighting ceremony in the Village of Yorkville Park. Multiplatinum recording artist Shawn Desman will take the stage, and a new lighting display will bring holiday sparkle to the park. The event runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The Rosedale Cavalcade of Lights, meanwhile, will offer up everything from horse and wagon rides to pictures with Santa to marshmallow roasting, among other attractions. That event takes place along Yonge between Woodlawn Avenue and Crescent Road and will run from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, culminating in the lighting of a giant blue tree at the CN Rail tracks at 5:30 p.m. Down at Yonge-Dundas Square, acrobats, dancers, the St. Michael’s Choir and Toronto band Ride the Tiger will provide entertainment as the square’s 40-foot tree lights up with more than 50,000 LED lights for the annual Illuminite celebration. That celebration will kick off at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19. The following week, YongeDundas Square will be home to Kidzfest, an annual sister event to Illuminite. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, live performances from Bob the Builder and other kids’ favourites will take the stage, while kids can also take part in arts and crafts, science experiments, meet Chase from Paw Patrol and more. Also on Nov. 26, the City of Toronto will host its own official lighting ceremony at Nathan Phillips Square. This year marks the 50th annual Cavalcade of Lights and features performances by Choir! Choir! Choir!, Luke Doucet, Whitehorse and others, followed by fireworks and a tree lighting ceremony. The Cavalcade of Lights kicks off at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26

Prakash Amarasooriya is representing TYC in the initiative, and poses here before meeting with Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter at Queen’s Park.
