Incoming trustees want decision Toronto marking 26th on Central Tech dome deferred annual World AIDS Day JUSTIN SKINNER
jskinner@insidetoronto.com Despite firm opposition from a large swath of the public, the Toronto District School Board appears to be moving closer to locking down a deal that would see a dome placed over the field at Central Technical School. The TDSB’s finance commit-
tee recommended the plan, which drew the ire of many in the community, be given the green light and a licence agreement between the school board and dome builder/operator Razor Management should be struck. The matter was to be discussed at a TDSB meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 26, but new
Trustee-elect Ausma Malik hopes the current trustees vote to defer the matter. She wrote a letter, signed by herself and the 10 other new trustees-elect, asking the current trustees to hold off on making a decision on the proposal. “My position during the campaign was really clear on the >>>HARBORD, page 2

On Dec. 1, people around the world will take a moment to reflect on the lives lost to HIV/ AIDS and to show support for those currently living with the disease. That day, the 26th annual World AIDS Day, will see a series of events and celebra-
tions throughout Toronto, from sombre memorials to gala concerts. “For World AIDS Day, which we recognize every year, we do a private reception here (Casey House) for clients, family members and people who have lost loved ones (to HIV/AIDSrelated illnesses),” said Kathleen Sandusky of Casey House, a >>>PRINT, page 10

Harbord Residents’ Village Association pleading with Ontario Privacy Commissioner >>>from page 1 dome and the way the electorate voted showed they agreed,” said Malik, who was opposed to the plan. “I wrote that letter to tell (the current trustees) to respect due process and respect the will of the electorate.” She noted she and the other new trustees – with 11 newcomers, that marks a turnover of 50 per cent at the school board – will be sworn in in less than a week.
At issue, she said, is the privatization of the public space. Under the agreement, Central Tech would retain use of the field during school hours, but Razor would reap the profits from leasing out the field during off-hours. “There’s a need for green space in the community and especially right in that neighbourhood,” Malik said. “It’s a popular recreational space during after-school hours, and anything that limits access to
that is worth discussing.” There is little doubt the field needs rehabilitating. The existing grass has long been worn down, and an environmental study showed the soil was contaminated, forcing the field’s closure. The proposal for a dome, however, has rankled community members since it first came to light. Harbord Village Residents’ Association chair Tim Grant said the matter was made worse by the fact
residents in the area do not feel properly informed as to where the process stands. “It’s unclear what kind of contracts they’ve signed and what agreements they have with Razor Management,” he said. “We filed a Freedom of Information request on Sept. 4, which gave them 30 days to pass along that information. They deferred, set a new deadline and then missed their own self-imposed deadline.” The community has now
taken the matter to the Ontario Privacy Commissioner, while the dome’s proponents have taken their plan to the Ontario Municipal Board. These steps are all part of a contentious ongoing battle, which has seen the field closed off, the City of Toronto winning a case in Ontario Superior Court in which the Justice ruled the dome would need City approval due to zoning issues and an appeal of that decision by the TDSB.
“It’s encouraging hearing from the city councillors in the area on the matter,” Malik said. “Councillor Mike Layton and councillor-elect Joe Cressy sent a letter saying the City wanted to explore other options for rehabilitating the field.” Why is the Harbord Village Residents’ Association opposed to the dome?

Student’s thesis project turns into successful business JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com
T
he road from design student to acclaimed social entrepreneur was a short one for Annex resident Ilana Ben-Ari. The Montreal-born Ben-Ari studied design at Carleton University and, for her thesis project, designed a toy that builds communication and leadership skills and teamwork. More importantly, the toy – dubbed Connexions – helps to build empathy. Designed with the visually impaired in mind, Connexions sees participants try to use the toy’s connecting wooden shapes to build identical designs. The catch is, the participants are blindfolded. “They have to deal with frustration and discomfort, and create a new language with another person and communicate in a way the
other person will understand,” Ben-Ari said. “How they deal with that toy can teach them how to deal with a lot of situations where they have to communicate with another person while understanding what the other person is saying.” Connexions has earned Ben-Ari plenty of plaudits and awards, including the recent distinction of being named a fellow with the Arianne de Rothschild Fellowships. The toy’s success has far surpassed anything its designer envisioned when she first conceived of it as a student. “I didn’t go to business school; when I went to design school, I thought I was just learning to become a good employee,” she said. “The idea of owning my own company didn’t even cross my mind until about

two years into it.” She finally took the plunge and founded Twenty One Toys, which is slated to see a series of toys and games released to help people hone what Ben-Ari calls “21st century skills” such as teamwork, creativity and collaboration. Despite a lack of experience in the business world, she said she felt she was the
best person to represent and promote her own product and vision. “I didn’t think of myself as an entrepreneur for a while,” she said. “I started my business as a designer trying to get my own toy out there. “I’ve learned since then that most entrepreneurs didn’t study business, they’re just very, very pas-
sionate about an issue.” Ben-Ari is already working on a “cousin” to Connexions, a toy which teaches that failure is not a negative, but a step on the road to success. “It’s time to talk about failure as a skill people need to develop,” Ben-Ari said. “It’s normalizing failure, getting people comfortable
with the idea of what failure is.” Ben-Ari was supported on her path to becoming a successful social entrepreneur through organizations such as the Centre for Social Innovation and Futurpreneur Canada.

oronto’s new council begins its work on Dec. 2 with the inauguration of councillors and our new mayor, John Tory. There’s optimism the next four years are going to focus on the needs of the city rather than the circus that was the final two years of Mayor Rob Ford’s administration. Let’s hope so. We’re going to be pushing the mayor and councillors to identify their priorities for this term and to achieve results. In today’s edition you can see where Toronto’s longest-serving councillor (Maria Augimeri, first elected in 1985) and one of our rookie councillors (Stephen Holyday) think council’s focus should be. our view Earlier this month, we also laid out what we think Tory’s Council must top priorities should be. You speak with one can read that story at http://bit. ly/1uUjUNs voice on transit A number of the same issues kept popping up for Tory, Augimeri and Holyday. Transportation, with both public transit and traffic on our roads; and working together as one cohesive council topped the lists. On the traffic/gridlock file, both Augimeri and Holyday suggest looking into better traffic signal coordination to keep cars moving. While far from the only solution to our jammed roadways and ridiculously long commutes, it’s a start well worth looking into. Augimeri, who was chair of the TTC at the end of council’s last term, pulled no punches when evaluating our public transit system. “We are a banana republic,” she called Toronto when it comes to updating and expanding public transit. Harsh words, but given the past decade of political football between LRTs and subways, bike lanes and the “war on the car,” it’s hard to disagree with her. Tory and council’s challenge on this one is to speak with one voice on the public transit improvements Toronto needs, and then get the provincial and federal governments on board as quickly as possible. Doing that also ties into the need for council and the mayor to work together. It’s one of the priorities we identified for Tory, and it will be the biggest test of his leadership. He is not alone in making that happen, though, as voters are expecting councillors to work together this term. We’ll be watching to make sure they do.

Hockey commentator Don Cherry not expected at first meeting of Toronto’s new council Dec. 2 In just a few days, the wait will be over and Toronto council will get going on its new agenda. Well, it will get going on that agenda soon enough. First off, there will be celebration, as the newly elected council and mayor join friends, family and senior city bureaucrats to ring in the new term in style, at the inaugural meeting. There will also be some music – if past experience is any indication, a bagpiper or two will be involved – and some speeches. One thing there probably won’t be this time out is Don Cherry, decked out in a hot pink suit-jacket with a Rob-Ford-sized chip on his shoulder, hollering at “pinkos” who he insisted were no longer in charge. That was how it went at the 2010 inauguration,
david nickle the city as you almost certainly remember: Cherry railing, Ford grinning, almost everyone else gasping at the audacity of it. Pleasant show The only thing missing from that Animal House inaugural was a keg of cheap beer and John Belushi spraying mashed potatoes over the front row of dignitaries. You’re not likely to see that particular show repeated in John Tory’s inaugural meeting. Given all the evidence, that’s far more likely to have more the flavour of a Omega Theta Pi mixer than a Delta Tau Chi toga party. Which is to say, the
show will be a pleasant but rather dull introduction to the mayor that Torontonians believed they elected: avuncular, cordial and managerial, with a mission to keep council meetings calm and services as they are. A just-so mayor. By the time that meeting happens, we will all hopefully have a somewhat clearer idea of how that’s going to go. As of Nov. 25, when this column went to press, Tory and his transition team still had not determined who would fill out the inner circle of his executive committee, or stand at his side as deputy mayor, or as the mayor’s pick for high-profile jobs like the chair of the Toronto Transit Commission. There was not even any indication as to what the mayor might make a
priority at his first council meeting. It would make sense for him to bring his SmartTrack plan to council early for at least a set of report requests – Tory has been mum on his plans other than to say that he wants something to happen to relieve congestion by early 2015. To that end, last week Tory came out with a bizarre pseudoendorsement of the Uber ride-sharing app and a qualified endorsement of a city-staff-driven plan to squeeze a few feet from the width of motor vehicle lanes across the city. But generally, the new mayor is playing his cards close to the vest. The pinkos, at least for now, remain on their toes.

Chilly Covenant House Sleep Out ‘not your typical fundraiser’ JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Some of Toronto’s top business leaders spent a night seeing how the other half lives, sleeping outside on a chilly night in support of Covenant House Toronto. Covenant House held its third annual Executive Sleep Out on Thursday, Nov. 20, with some 75 participants wrapping themselves up in sleeping bags in a small lot near Gerrard and Church streets. The event aims to raise awareness and funds for the downtown organization, which provides temporary shelter, food, employment help and other services for homeless youth. Covenant House executive director Bruce Rivers noted this year’s Sleep Out was a little less comfortable than the first two, with snow on the ground and temperatures dropping below freezing. “Last year, it was one degree above zero and raining, so I looked at the forecast and said ‘oh my, I hope we don’t lose any sleepers,’ but the support has been just incredible,” he said. “This is not your typical fundraiser. This is an immersion, a very, very different experience and it’s not for everybody.”

Patrons settle in for the night during the fundraising Covenant House Executive Sleep Out held Thursday near Gerrard and Church streets.
The participants did more than just spend a night in the cold. Together, they raised roughly $940,000 in support of Covenant House Toronto and its initiatives. “Our budget overall is $21 million
to do the work we do to support 3,000 youth each year and we raise 80 per cent of that amount,” Rivers said. “In the house, we have not only a shelter, but we also have a medical clinic, we have a school, employ-

ment programs, apprenticeship programs, counselling, we have an arts program.” Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair was one of the participants, making 2014 the third year he has taken part in Covenant House’s Executive Sleep Out. “This is a great event for a great cause,” Blair said. “Covenant House means a great deal to the city and they provide an amazing service for homeless youth.” He said it was inspiring to see such a large number of Toronto residents putting themselves in the shoes of homeless youth, even if it was for just one night. “We’ll all be fine, and one of the things I always like to remember and remind everyone is that it’s one night and we all know where we’re going to be tomorrow night,” he said. “We’re all going to be warm in our own beds, but for the kids who live out on the street, they don’t necessarily have that assurance. We get a glimpse into their lives, but it’s only a glimpse.” Belinda Stronach, president and co-chair of the Stronach Group and founder of the Belinda Stronach Foundation, took on a role as the Sleep Out’s honourary co-chair this
year. Participating for the first time, she said the event opened her eyes to the challenges faced by homeless youth. Before bedding down for the night, the sleepers met with youth who have used Covenant House to help them along the path to a better life. “The great part of this evening so far was listening to the very personal stories about how Covenant House has touched the alumni,” Stronach said. “I got to tour the house and see the fulsome work that’s done there.” She pointed out that Covenant House was a much-needed resource for young people who felt they were out of other options. “Covenant House gave them hope, self-respect and the confidence that they needed to start moving forward,” she said. Though the Sleep Out is over for this year, people can still make donations in support of participants online. For more information on Covenant House Toronto, visit www.covenanthousetoronto.ca

Coming soon to the area is the Ossington, a set of executive luxury townhomes on Ossington Avenue between Davenport Road and Dupont Street by Dunpar Homes. Around the corner on Dupont Street, more big changes are in the works as it moves from an industrial to a residential area. Sobeys, FAEMA Coffee and an expanding Bellwoods Brewery are all within a fiveminute walk of the Ossington and more “Mom and Pop” shops, restaurants and bars are set to open. The area will incorporate wider sidewalks and dedicated parkland, which will make it a family friendly community in a short time. In the heart of downtown,
and steps from the TTC, the Ossington will feature up to 2,000 sq. ft. of lavish living space. The 54 three-storey British inspired townhomes will be topped with stunning rooftop terraces showcasing city skyline views.

Credit Unions: A Credit to Their Communities On the Canadian financial landscape, credit unions may be small in size compared to major banks, but they have a big impact on the quality of life in the communities they serve. According to Credit Union Central of Canada, when it comes to local causes and charities, credit unions contribute on average four times as much of their pre-tax profits as banks. In 2013, credit unions contributed $49.3 million in total in numerous ways. Among these were donations and sponsorships of $38 million, $1.6 million in bursaries and scholarships, and $5.5 million in financial services to community organizations. IC Savings (Italian Savings & Credit Union Ltd.) is an admirable example of this generosity. The company has pledged $1 million to the new Humber River Hospital, which will become North America’s first fully digital hospital.

A campaign is in place to raise the $225 million to accomplish this goal. According to Fausto Gaudio, president and CEO of IC Savings and co-chair of the volunteer Campaign Cabinet, “The new hospital will revolutionize how quality of care is delivered, making it faster and safer. This is exactly the kind of initiative we at IC Savings hold dear to our hearts. Credit unions are cooperatives; it’s part of our corporate culture
to pay dividends to our members through premium rates, and indirectly on their behalf to the community at large. In the end, everyone benefits.” IC Savings (ICSavings.ca) serves over 12,000 members across the GTA.The firm’s pledge for $100,000 each year over 10 years is a commitment that rivals those of major Canadian financial institutions.

Voices of Hope on Dec. 1 at Metropolitan United Church will feature an array of talent >>>from page 1 downtown-based hospice for those living with HIV/ AIDS. “But we also have our big concert, Voices of Hope, which is a public event.” Voices of Hope will feature an array of talent, from comedian Gavin Crawford to singer Sharron Matthews to the Oasis Vocal Jazz Choir. Held at the Metropolitan United Church (56 Queen St. E.) at 7 p.m. on Dec. 1, the concert will be both enter-
taining and touching. “Sharron Matthews is a totally outrageous cabaret/lounge performer, like Toronto’s own Bette Midler,” Sandusky said. “Gavin Crawford will read pieces by clients here at Casey House and we’ll have a couple of our clients get up to speak about living with HIV.” The concert is pay-whatyou-can (suggested donation $20), with Scotiabank
matching all money raised at the door. Casey House hopes to raise $60,000 through the event. Voices of Hope is but one World AIDS Day event taking place in Toronto. World AIDS Day will mark the 30th anniversary of Asian Community AIDS Services (ACAS). The organization will be taking to the TTC tomorrow, urging riders to wear a red ribbon to show their support
of those living with HIV/AIDS and aiming to break down the stigma surrounding the illness. Volunteers will be on hand at Wellesley, Yonge/Bloor and North York Centre stations for ACAS’ Red Ribbon on the Rocket campaign, with University of Toronto-based a cappella group Tunes. Beats. Awesome offering a free performance at Yonge/Bloor. “We’re trying to get people to engage in discussions
and promote testing,” said Christian Hui of ACAS. “We’ll be asking for small donations and the proceeds go toward supporting our programs – we have health promotion workshops, and last year we had a health and wellness retreat for our clients.” The Toronto People with AIDS Foundation is taking the lead on another, hosting a Community Carnation Memorial at 5:45 p.m. at the 519 Ballroom in the Church
Street Community Centre. The Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) will also recognize World AIDS Day with a fundraising gala. That event, which runs from 6 to 11 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, will mark 25 years since Black CAP began its work to support African Canadians living with HIV/AIDS.

Remember the elderly during the holiday season CCAC can assist in coordinating care for seniors during the holidays With the Holiday season in full swing, many of us are in planning mode. Whether it’s making preparations for outof-town visitors, meal-planning for a celebratory feast or making a list and checking it twice, it’s a busy time of the year. Those of us who may wish to leave the chaos behind and take a tropical vacation over the holiday break are likely counting down the days to rest and relaxation. Others are looking forward to the seasonal festivities as well as some well-earned down time with family and friends. During this time of the year, it’s easy for many of us to forget that there are many in our community who may not have the family or social circles that much of the population enjoys. This is particularly the case for seniors, many of who may have lost a spouse, or who may be living alone at home, in a senior’s residence or a long-term care facility. It’s been a well-known fact that the holiday season, while festive for many, can trigger
feelings of depression, and this is often acutely the case with the elderly. Without some of the personal supports that many of us take for granted, this time of year can seem bleak. The holiday season is a good time to take stock of our lives and to reach out and help those who may need support. If you have a senior friend, neighbor or loved one, this time of year provides an opportunity to provide a helping hand. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provides a variety of supports and resources for seniors. Following are some suggested activities from the CCAC to help the elderly during this time of year. 1) Check-In: Often, a simple phone call or visit to an elderly neighbours or loved one can make the difference in their mood. It will also provide them with the knowledge that they are cared for and are important to those around them. 2) Community Resources: Does your elderly loved one know about some of the community resources available to them? Whether it’s a day program or seniors group, these types of options are appreciated by those who may be alone
during this time of year. By visiting www.TorontoCentralHealthline.ca, friends and family members of seniors can find local, specific information about various community supports that are of interest to seniors. 3) Referral For Support: At any given time, anyone can make a referral on behalf of another to the CCAC. Whether you’re a friend, family member or neighbour and are concerned about an elderly person in your life, you can call (416) 506-9888 for help and guidance. Referrals can also be made anonymously on behalf of someone in need of help as well. 4) Respite Care: If you choose to go away during the holiday season and are concerned about an elderly loved one or friend, the Toronto Central CCAC can assist with coordinating the details of shortterm respite care. Because it’s a busy time of the year, bookings fill up quickly so call early for information and to make arrangements. For more information about supports and community services contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888 or visit www. healthcareathome.ca

Rebecca Northan takes on third Morris Panych play, Sextet Production runs through Dec. 14 at the Tarragon Theatre Though her work on stage and on the screen has earned her plenty of plaudits and awards, downtown Toronto resident Rebecca Northan’s latest project stood out as a highlight before it even began. The actor admits to relishing her role as one of six stars of the upcoming Morris Panych play Sextet, due largely to the fact it finally gave her a chance to work with the acclaimed playwright. “It’s the third Morris Panych play I’ve done, but I’ve never worked with him personally,” she said. “I really dig that man’s sense of humour – it’s smart, dark and truthful.” Northan’s thrill over being cast in the play can hardly be chalked up to her being a star-struck neophyte. She has appeared in films such as The F Word and Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, television shows such as Being Erica and This Hour Has 22 Minutes and a bevy of stage plays. She has won several Canadian Comedy Awards, plus Betty Mitchell Awards honouring the best of the Calgary theatre scene, a Just For Laughs Comedy Award and a Denver Theatre Award. Despite her laundry list of achievements, Sextet gives her a chance to work with a writer she loves and with a top-notch Toronto cast. The show follows six musicians holed up in a snowbound hotel. With little to do to pass the time, the group must confront issues of attraction, family life, commitment and failing careers. “It’s Morris Panych’s take on a
sex farce, and when you think of a sex farce, you kind of think of old British men chasing scantily-clad women through slamming doors,” Northan said. “Yes, there’s doors opening and slamming, but there’s so much more than that. It’s very funny, but (Panych) always asks bigger questions about what makes us happy, what makes us fulfilled.” Northan knew from an early age that her future was in the performing arts. She directed plays as far back as elementary school and has pursued that passion ever since. “There was never even a question that this was what I was going to do,” she said. “I was lucky enough to make money as an actor before I graduated from university, so I paid for my university degree that way.” The Calgary-born actor trained at the renowned Loose Moose Theatre Company, and produced her own one-woman show, Blind Date, which was picked up by a Broadway producer and staged in New York. For that production, she played the role of Mimi, a clown who has been stood up on a date. As a fallback, she selected a random member of the audience and improvised her way through an evening out together. “That ran for three-and-a-half

years and it was often funny, but also often heartbreaking,” she said. When not on stage or off at a shoot, Northan loves life in her downtown Toronto neighbourhood. “It’s so alive down here,” she said. “I love that the Pride Parade goes right past my front door. I can see the Y on Grosvenor from out my kitchen window and hear the kids playing in the daycare.” Sextet is currently on stage and will run through Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Tarragon Theatre’s Mainspace, at 30 Bridgman Ave.

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com St. Paul’s councillor Josh Matlow will have a full plate when it comes to issues within his ward. One of his top priorities will be to boost transit options to ease congestion on the Yonge subway line, as riders in his ward often wait two or three trains just to find a subway that is not packed to the brim during rush hours. “I’ll be continuing my advocacy for relieving the Yonge subway line overcrowding in every way,” he said, adding he does not see the muchballyhooed Downtown Relief Line proposal and Tory’s SmartTrack plan as an either/or proposition. “We need both a downtown relief line and electrified rail moving forward.” The Ward 22 councillor also places a high priority on traffic safety with ongoing efforts to install speed deterrents such as speed humps and bollards on local streets. “I want to incent drivers to stay on the main streets and not going onto neighbourhood streets,” he said. Matlow will also continue his battle to free Toronto from the Ontario Municipal Board, pointing to projects in his own ward that have been pushed through at the board, against the wishes of local residents. “Developers seem to get carte blanche at the OMB, and that impacts the city’s ability to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support these buildings,” he said. “At Broadway and Redpath, two 30-storey buildings were just approved and that goes against good neighbourhood planning.” That ties into another of Matlow’s priorities: the need for good design and public realm investment. “There’s a place for glass and steel, but I want to see buildings that are inspiring,” he said. “I want to see architecture that contributes to our quality of life.” Finally, Matlow vows to continue working to improve parks and green spaces throughout St. Paul’s. “At Northern Secondary School, I’ve invested in the Northern Landscape Project to improve the blah-looking green space by the school,” he said. “I’ve offered funds to Davisville and Eglinton (public schools) for their own schoolyard improvements.” For more stories on the new term at city hall, visit us at insidetoronto.com or follow city hall reporter David Nickle on Twitter @ DavidNickle
