Sharon, Lois & Bram playground? JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com A new plan by St. Paul’s Councillor Josh Matlow could see the children’s playground in June Rowlands Park named after trio Sharon, Lois & Bram. The playground naming would be fitting given the contributions the trio – all of whom live in Matlow’s ward –
have made to both children’s entertainment and to Canadian culture on the whole since they formed in 1978. “Sharon, Lois & Bram are iconic performers who have meant so much to the lives of Canadian children and children around the world,” Matlow said. “When I found out that Bram lived right around June Rowlands Park and the other
two were in the ward as well, it just made sense.” The playground at June Rowlands Park has never been named. Should it be named in honour of Sharon, Lois & Bram, Matlow said he hopes to have an elephant-shaped sign in recognition of the trio’s first album, One Elephant, Deux Elephants and their television program The Elephant Show.
“Most of us in our 20s and 30s grew up with Sharon, Lois & Bram and they have a special place in our hearts,” Matlow said. “You see parks named after politicians, but we need to be celebrating our artists as well.” Bram Morrison said the trio was honoured to be considered and hopes to see Matlow’s plan become a reality. >>>AT, page 6
Toronto council has imposed an interim control bylaw that will at least slow the planned construction of a Walmartanchored shopping mall on Bathurst Street just south of College Street. Council approved the bylaw Friday afternoon. The bylaw will allow city staff to complete a planning study on both sides of Bathurst Street from Dupont to Queen streets. The study will “better define the role Bathurst plays as a boundary between the area formally designated as ‘Downtown and Central Waterfront’... and the rest of the city,” according to the report walked on to council Friday. The interim control bylaw will prohibit new retail and services, and additions to existing retail for a year for all lands flanking Bathurst Street. The bylaw comes as RioCan prepares to move forward redeveloping the site at Bathurst and Nassau Street. >>>BYLAW, page 16

Gyro Auto Group of Companies ventures down new road with Gyro Hyundai Gyro Hyundai is Toronto’s newest, greenest, and largest Hyundai dealership. The most recent venture for Gyro Auto Group of Companies, the dealership is backed by two generations of family auto dealers and 40 years of experience in the Leaside and local GTA community. Gyro Auto Group of Companies began in 1953 when two brothers arrived from Slovenia to pursue their passion for cars. They started out giving car washes and offering general mechanics before quickly evolving into Toronto’s first Mazda dealership, Gyro Mazda. The company is now run by their sons, General Manager, JP Kovac and General Sales Manager, Paul Kmet, along with Pre-Owned Sales Manager, Jim Krigos. “We’ve been a family owned and operated business for two generations now,” says Kovac. After almost four decades of operation inToronto, Gyro Auto Group of Companies is venturing down a new road with Gyro Hyundai and is proud to play a roll in Leaside’s 100th anniversary by contributing to the rebirth, renewal and on-going gentrification of the area, which the company calls home. Located at 127 Laird Dr., Gyro Hyundai is surrounded by an abundance of great new retail shops and is easily accessible from downtown, the Beaches, the Danforth and the city centre of Toronto. The 60,000 square foot property, nine car showroom, two-level dealership with 14 service bays, plus delivery showroom ensure Toronto’s best Hyundai shopping experience. The dealership is eco-friendly with some of the latest green technologies found throughout the facility. The green roof uses sedum to cool the building and purify air while permeable pavers prevent excess water runoff and the rainwater runoff cap-
ture system absorbs rainfall over the entire site. LED lighting and high efficiency heating and cooling systems save energy and operate more quietly. The dealership provides the same down to earth customer service that Gyro has always stood by. The company’s approach is based on family values and approachable, one-on-one customer care. “[The owner’s] are at the dealership every day – we’re not absentee owners, we’re not a big group – we’re involved with the daily operations of the business and we try to keep a personal touch with all of our clients,” Kovac says. Gyro Hyundai houses brand new vehicles as well as pre-owned vehicles. The sales team uses a no pressure approach to ensure customers feel comfortable to browse at their own pace and ask questions. They get to know your needs and wants and match you with the right vehicle for your lifestyle. Buying a car is a big purchase, and customer expectations keep getting higher and higher. Gyro Hyundai is meeting their needs with more services offered than every before. “We offer compete customer service including courtesy calls to customers when their cars are ready for pick up and we send them an email when it’s time for a service. They don’t have to think about when to bring the car in for a service — we’ll make sure they get all the reminders they need.” The sales department houses experienced technicians trained to service Hyundai vehicles using the latest in service and diagnostic equipment in a brand new state of the art facility. Gyro Hyundai also offers tire storage, complete vehicle detailing and shuttle service. “Hyundai’s volume in the marketplace has really come up and it’s because of the products and their quality,” says Kovac.“We’re very excited about being a Hyundai dealer – they just released a brand new revised Santa Fe model and it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s an excellent brand.” To test drive the all new 2013 Santa Fe or to learn about current offers, please call 416-422-6588. For more information on vehicles and services visit www.gyrohyundai.com.

Regent Park resident awarded for her community work JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Longtime Regent Park resident Deany Peters’ contributions to her community are well-known by her neighbours. A recent award shows that others value her work as well. Peters was awarded the St. Christopher House Sir James Woods Award for Community Development for more than 20 years of volunteer service at the Regent Park Community Health Centre and other local organizations. She moved to Regent Park from Parkdale more than 25 years ago as a single mother of three and instantly set about improving both her life and the neighbourhood she calls home. “The Regent Park Residents Association was looking for
community leaders and I signed up,” she said. “I was able to get a two-year scholarship to George Brown College where I studied to become a community worker, but I went back to school as a mature student. I was missing high school credits because I was married (young), had my first baby at 16 and all three of my kids by 18.” That experience has served her well. She parlayed an early relationship with the Regent Park Community Health Centre into a volunteer opportunity with the organization – and eventually a career. “This was the first organization I entered into this community as a young mom,” she said from her office at the health centre. “ T h e f i r s t t h i n g yo u need when you’re a young
mom with three babies is a doctor.” She also helped found the Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre, which gives young people in the community a chance to express themselves through film, video, music and other media arts. While she was one of the ones who created the organization, it has always been youth-led. She is a staunch advocate of getting young people involved in their community. “We have to ensure that young people have a say in the services that are provided to them,” she said. “They need to be included in the conversation and decisionmaking process about their own lives.” Peters also helped facilitate the creation of the Regent

DEANY PETERS
Park Resident Engagement Taskforce, planning town hall meetings to ensure the ongoing Regent Park Revitalization meets the
needs of residents. “I believe changes like this should happen with people, not to people,” she said. Always outspoken, Peters said while the revitalization has seen many new and valuable additions to the community, the human element was overlooked at times. “There was a feeling of loss and sadness over our relocated friends and relatives that I think was ignored,” she said. “We have children who have spent their entire childhoods in the process of being relocated, with people leaving and people coming back.” Peters said she hopes to continue to build bridges between Regent Park and the surrounding area. For too long, she said, the community has been an island unto itself, cut off from the
rest of Toronto. “You look at something like the PanAm Games, where they’re building just up the street from us,” she said. “A lot of people here don’t even know about it...I want to find out what the opportunities are to collaborate, what are the partnerships and who are my new neighbours.” Peters said the greatest obstacle to overcome is the social stigma that remains attached to the neighbourhood. “There’s a misperception that we’re lazy welfare bums and cheats and liars,” she said. “This is a great area with great people. Everyone just needs to see that.” Regent Park is undergoing a revitalization for its 12,500 residents, eventually creating a mixed-used community.

O
ur city is a bustling place where the day-today grind can take a toll. For those looking for a little back-to-nature respite, we’ve got the perfect adventure waiting for you, just steps away from your front door. In this edition’s special feature, we highlight local hiking trails and others across the city where people can go to spot wildlife, keep active, socialize and reenergize. Other stories we’ve collected online will take you butterfly watching along the Leslie Street Spit, jogging through the ravines of the Don River and exploring the ecosystems of the 250-acre Humber Arboretum in north Etobicoke. There’s a surprising number of hiking and walking trails in our city. There are so we couldn’t list them all our view many, within our feature. When you walk some of them Discover it’s easy to forget you’re in the nature in your middle of a bustling urban centre – like when you’re followbackyard ing the winding trails through the tall, dense forests of High Park. Others have landmark reminders, like the condo tower that looms over the meadowland of the Humber Arboretum. But all, some would suggest, have the power to refresh the spirit. The federal non-profit group Turtlefeather True Nature uses outings along these trails to help women who have experienced abuse gain confidence and reduce stress. It’s also a welcome outlet for groups like the Metro Toronto Fitness Club, who has been taking to the trails for years (nearly 50 in this case), seeking not only outdoor activity, but new friendships. The group meets weekly for social walks and organizes social activities on a regular basis. Though one wouldn’t normally associate hiking and city life, these protected green spaces prove the two can compliment one another and we hope our feature will prove to our readers that hiking is accessible here in our communities. So pack a lunch, grab the sunscreen (and bug spray) and head out on your own trail adventure. These green spaces provide a natural oasis that can’t be fully appreciated until you’re there. Take time for yourself, or bring the whole family and discover the great outdoors right in your backyard.

Council goes on subway shopping trip We’re going shopping! It looks like our municipal representatives are enthused about spending about a billion dollars to expand subway transit in Scarborough. Despite what must be discouraging statistics, our city has always been the strongest backer of transit. For example, the TTC’s operating costs per kilometre have soared and usage has not kept pace with population growth. Since amalgamation, every taxpaying household’s subsidy for transit has almost tripled to about $350, surpassing every other service except police and fire. Yet Torontonians’ need to support transit is essential. We are the primary beneficiaries, and neither Queen’s Park nor Ottawa would advance funds if property taxpayers didn’t make significant payments. It’s not that mayors past and present haven’t asked the provincial or federal
david soknacki beyond the headlines governments. The senior governments acknowledge partial responsibility for transit projects. But they have their own financial challenges. Both governments have been noncommittal to prioritizing subway expansion in Scarborough. Transit represents about half of the city’s debt. Back in 2000, council approved a five-year capital program of nearly $800 million for the TTC. By this year that figure has grown sevenfold. Interest expenses have become our third largest expenditure, now $260 annually per household. As unsustainable as these growth rates are, there is room for additional expansion, if council is willing to continue prioritizing in favour of transit, . Take our property-tax rate, for example. Our low tax level and minimal rates
of increase are the envy of our neighbours. The problem is each one per cent increase of Toronto’s tax rate only brings in about $20 million, enough to cover incremental charges, but nothing more. Recouping the entire project through city regular operations would require substantial tax increases, program cuts, or both. In fact council has shown itself completely adverse to considering new taxes. That leaves debt. Toronto has excellent debt ratings. As a result, council could raise enough debt, although interest rates might rise. This shopping trip begins painlessly and irresponsibly. Council can commit to spend a billion dollars. We can even pay the interest charges. The big catch is council is not capable of paying back the principal. David Soknacki is a former City of Toronto councillor and budget chief. Contact him at www.soknacki.com

Time to get off our hands, reader writes Lack of transit funding has been a problem for our city for many years and as long as our politicians sit on their hands, it will continue. Funding will be an election issue during the next municipal and provincial elections, and most likely the ones to follow. The time to do something has past now. It is make up time and the expense will only climb. Glenn Kitchen Editor’s note: Letter wr iters are encouraged to send their opinions to lday@ insidetoronto.com.

have the entire project, which will consist of between 12 and 15 canoes in local parks, completed by the end of this summer, but admits that goal may not be possible. “We’re more likely to find used or donated canoes in the fall once the (canoeing) season’s over,” he said. The canoes will contain native plant species such as black-eyed Susans, honeysuckle, prairie smoke, common milkweed, Canadian anemone, bearberries and wild strawberries. Those plants, Dahlin Nolan said, will not only beautify the parks, but will help local wildlife as well. “We’re looking for species that will be good for pollinating insects like butterflies and bees, and for birds,” he said. The crowd-funding campaign was launched on Monday and will run until Aug. 11.

The plan to turn Ward 21 into Canada’s first Homegrown National Park is continuing in earnest with the launch of a crowd-funding campaign for a project dubbed Community Canoe. Launched by Parkdale resident Aidan Dahlin Nolan, the project aims to see canoe planters filled with native plant species installed in a number of city parks, including Christie Pits, Trinity Bellwoods, Little Norway, Bickford Park and Stanley Park. Dahlin Nolan said the idea arose out of a trip he and some friends took to Algonquin Park last year. “We decided we wouldn’t make it a regular canoe trip, we’d make it like a business trip and paddled around Algonquin in suits,” he said. “I thought, ‘what would it be like for a businessman to canoe to work?’”
our first canoe at Fort York donated by an outfitting company called Voyager Quest. – Aidan Dahlin Nolan
He paired up with the David Suzuki Foundation, which is leading the charge to turn Ward 21 into a national park by enhancing its green spaces. “At first, I was thinking of a program like BIXI bikes, but having BIXI canoes instead,” Dahlin Nolan said. “The reason it went in the direction of planters is the David Suzuki Foundation wanted to do a bunch of planting projects.” Community Canoe has already taken off with a canoe filled with native plant species installed at Fort York earlier this summer. The crowd-funding campaign will help defray the costs of

At Community Council, Sept. 10 >>>from page 1 “We’ve been honoured in different ways over the years with Juno Awards, gold and platinum records and the Order of Canada, but this is really grassroots and really fitting,” he said. He noted Sharon, Lois & Bram became such a cultural touchstone because they aimed to create more than simple ditties for kids. “We felt we were making music for the whole family, which meant we weren’t going to do the very, very simple, pared-down synthesizer arrangements you hear so much on children’s records,” he said. “We worked with different kinds of music and our songs ranged from one voice singing to all three of us doing a
three-part harmony.” Sharon Hampson echoed Morrison’s sentiments regarding the playground naming, pointing out it was an honour that was both unexpected and appropriate given the trio’s legacy. She noted she drove her grandchildren past the playground to tell them the news and said that though they are too old to fully enjoy using the play area, “I’ll find someone to take.” She added, should the playground naming go ahead as expected, the trio could even take the stage to dedicate it. “It’s all unfolding in delightful, unexpected ways,” she said. “If there’s a ceremony, it would be hard for us not to get up and sing a couple of songs.”
That alone would be a treat for children and parents who grew up with Sharon, Lois & Bram’s music, particularly given Lois Lilienstein no longer tours with the other two. “We still sing together, but what we do now is concerts for causes,” Lilienstein said, adding the naming of the park would provide the trio with a great reason to take the stage. “Our harmony might be a bit rusty, but we can still turn it out,” she said. In order for the name to become official, the councillor’s proposal will have to be passed at council.

FACT: WE’VE ALREADY PAID
% 100
OF THE AMOUNT RECOMMENDED BY AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY PANEL.
MPAC, the municipal property assessor, thinks City Council should tax the airport property as if it could be a high-rise condo development. We agree with City of Toronto staff, that this is an “erroneously high assessment value1.” To date, we’ve already paid 100% of the amount of Payments in Lieu of Taxes recommended by an advisory panel. As for asking our passengers to pay more, we’re an airport, not a condo development site, and we don’t think we should be taxed like one. 1

own experiences as a child in apartheid-era South Africa in speaking of Mandela’s legacy. “To me, Nelson Mandela means that no child will ever have to go to a restaurant in South Africa and be asked to leave because of the colour of their skin,” she said. “No child in South Africa will ever have to cry because they aren’t allowed to ride on a ferris wheel because of their race. “No child will ever have to feel the sting of being told they can’t use a bathroom, they can’t sit on a park bench, they can’t swim in an ocean because they are not equal.” Following a playing of the South African national anthem, event organizers called on all Canadians to volunteer 67 minutes of their time in recognition of Mandela’s 67-year struggle for equality and democracy. South African High Commissioner to Canada Membathisi Mdladlana spoke of Mandela’s legacy as a hero who helped forge muchneeded change both in his native country and around the world. “Today, we are very proud that in South Africa we have an icon that is revered all over the world,” he said, adding it was up to everyone “to make sure that the legacy of Nelson Mandela never dies.” Classical guitarist Liona Boyd and Juno Awardwinning South AfricanCanadian singer Lorraine Klaasen performed at the event.

The Beltline Trail winds its way through midtown Toronto dotted by ravines and quiet areas to enjoy nature. Staff photos/JUSTIN SKINNER
WHERE DO YOU enjoy the outdoors in the city? Email us a paragraph about it, explaining why: ccm@insidetoronto.com
A nature break for Midtown A green oasis in the heart of Toronto lets residents enjoy an escape from the big city JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Midtown Toronto may hardly be an oasis of green on the whole, but the Beltline Trail provides a nice respite from the surrounding city. The trail runs from the Allen Expressway just north of Eglinton Avenue down to Mount Pleasant Avenue just north of Mount Pleasant Cemetery – known as the Kay Gardner section – and continues south of the cemetery in a loop through Moore Park Ravine and Avoca Ravine down to the Evergreen Brick Works. The Beltline began as a passenger rail line designed to connect midtown Toronto to the rest of the city back in the
1890s. The line failed to turn a profit and ceased operating as a commuter line a mere two years later, though parts of the line continued to serve as a freight trail for another half century. Eventually, the line was shut down and converted into a trail running through what is now the centre of the city. Its rail history is evident along parts of the Kay Gardner segment, particularly with the rail bridge that crosses over Yonge Street just south of Davisville Avenue. Though the Kay Gardner and Ravine segments are separated by Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the middle, the cemetery provides another quiet green setting for walking. Ward 22 Councillor Josh Matlow is a regular user of the
“
For so many of us who live in midtown Toronto, this is the network that connects our green spaces. – Councillor Josh Matlow
Beltline Trail and notes it has a unique role in the city. “For so many of us who live in midtown Toronto, this is the network that connects our green spaces,” he said. “The Beltline is the spine – the green belt of Toronto.” The many green spaces connected by the Beltline include Oriole Park, Chorley Park and Forest Hill Road Park, among
others. The walk itself can be taken at a leisurely pace, with the ravine section offering some tranquil scenery, though restoration work on Mud Creek has caused parts of the trail system in the area south of the Heath Street bridge to be closed off. Because it runs through midtown and has crossings at many major streets, the Beltline offers hikers an opportunity to stay in the green space or pop off the trail to enjoy various neighbourhoods throughout midtown. “It meets up with streets where people can stop off to grab something to eat or drink on hot days, or stop off and do some shopping in some of the business areas it
runs through, like the Mount Pleasant Business Improvement Area or South Bayview,” Matlow said. A study has been conducted on ways to improve the Beltline Trail experience for hikers, with a strong focus on maintaining the forest cover and adding safety features. That study was finalized in April and outlined a series of improvements that should be made, including five that could be implemented in short order. Those improvements include switchbacks between Chorley Park and the Evergreen Brick Works and from the Heath Street Bridge to the trail itself, better signage and wayfinding, the creation of a plan to >>>RAIL, page 15

Rail history evident along parts of Kay Gardner segment of Beltline Trail >>>from page 14 restore the natural environment in the Moore Park Ravine and a plan to engage landowners living adjacent to the ravine system and encourage them to take on a stewardship role. Matlow himself has lobbied for better crossing on the Kay Gardner section of the Beltline Trail and has a report set to go before council in September to that effect. “At Oriole Park and Avenue and Bathurst, people are expected to walk (off the trail) to a crosswalk and cross there but you see people running or biking across the streets,” he said. The report calls for measures including curb cuts, safety islands and synchronized traffic signals placed at the various
intersections to make crossing the busy streets safer. “For the first time since there was a railway there, we’ll be creating a contiguous trail,” Matlow said. Hikers Tom and Kelly Burnett enjoy semi-regular walks on the trail, and took in a little nature in the middle of the city on Wednesday, July 17. “We come down here when we want to get away from the busy city for a bit,” Tom Burnett said. “It’s a bit of a walk from our house, but it’s definitely worth it. You can catch a look at some birds and sometimes some other animals like foxes.” GO ONLINE to read more about hiking in the city: bit.ly/hikingTO

Bylaw would help deal with issues from closure and sale of Honest Ed’s >>>from page 1 The bylaw was introduced without notice, which is typical when council deals with interim control bylaws. Councillors Adam Vaughan and Mike Layton both issued statements on the motion they moved together. Said Vaughan: “It will stop any new big box applications (even as-of-right applications) while the planning study does its work.”
Vaughan said the study is not necessarily aimed at any particular property. Layton said the bylaw would also help deal with issues that might arise with the closure and sale of Honest Ed’s at Bathurst and Bloor. “In addition to this move at Council, Councillor Vaughan and I have been working with staff to bring forward a proposal to hold a community consultation explicitly
focused on the intersection of Bathurst and Bloor. Recent news coverage of the future of Honest Ed’s and Mirvish Village makes this decision to focus City Planning’s attention on the four corners critically important.”
Street West. The cap will limit the number of bars and restaurants on the stretch between Roncesvalles Avenue and Dufferin Street to 25 per cent of all businesses on the street, and comes after several years of study and consultation. Trinity-Spadina Councillor Adam Vaughan, who is initiating a similar planning study for Kensington Market, said too many bars and restau-
limited in parkdale wRestaurants
Toronto Council has approved a cap on restaurants moving into Parkdale along Queen
rants in older parts of town can cause problems – and he added a big problem is alcohol. “If the people who drink could control themselves better you wouldn’t need bylaws like this,” he said. Not everyone agreed, however. Scarborough Agincourt Councillor Mike Del Grande suggested the notion that bars and restaurants might impact quality of life shouldn’t be
enough reason for the city to interfere in the marketplace. Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday said council should approve an enforcement blitz on the stretch rather than limiting business. “I think the real problem here isn’t the number of restaurants. It’s the quality of the restaurants,” he said. What do you think about the latest from City Hall? Have your say. Email: ccm@ insidetoronto.com
