first art exhibit on Monday. The students developed their art skills in courses as part of the centre’s Secondary School Treatment Program. In partnership with the Toronto District School Board, Massey Centre offers young and expecting mothers a chance to complete their high school credits and continue to self-develop. COMPLETE CREDITS They can complete their
credits while caring for their babies in the classroom or preparing for birth. “The idea is to encourage young women to continue post-secondary education,” said Ekua Asabea Blair, Massey Centre chief executive officer. “Many of the women are behind in their studies due to stopping to raise a child.” With no prior art experience, the students showcased several kinds of art including: pop, storybooks, graffiti, watercolour
and murals. Much of the art reflected the love the young mothers felt for their babies; names and faces of their children dominated the theme of their art. Some students live at Massey Centre while others come from surrounding communities. STIGMA ATTACHED Blair says because of the stigma attached to being a young parent, art offers a means for young mothers to
express themselves. The aim is to let women realize their potential while staying sensitive to challenges facing new mothers. “We want to help them cope with the stigma and the stress,” Blair said. “We know it’s not the end of the world, they can still finish high school, they can still develop their life skills they need to live as adults in the community.” One of the mothers, Jalisa Orr, 20, completed her summer >>>MOTHERS, page 10

East York mayoral debate has a heated start
Rob Ford has tense encounter with debate organizers DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com
T
he drama didn’t take long to start at the Parkview Hills mayoral debate Monday evening. Things got tense before the debate in an East York church basement even began, when Mayor Rob Ford and his entourage arrived accusing one of its organizers of bias in favour of John Tory, and complaining about a restriction that kept mayoral candidates from taking more than a single supporter into the crowded hall. Ford wanted to bring in his brother and campaign manager Doug Ford, his driver Jerry Agyaman and his city hall spokesperson Amin Massoudi. When asked why by an organizer, he responded: “It doesn’t matter why... guys I’m not here to play games. This is a biased debate.” As evidence, Ford later pointed out that President of the Parkview Hills Community Association Justin Van Dette was a supporter of mayoral candidate John Tory. Van Dette wouldn’t address the question of whether he supported Tory, but he pointed out the debate was being sponsored
by the community association and he was taking the lead as its president only. He said the organizers had made it clear to all candidates that they could only have a single member of their support staff with them. “We made it very clear to all the candidates that we just wanted one person because of capacity issues,” he said. “We are in a church basement with limited capacity. All the campaigns were fine with it except for one campaign.” Organizers finally relented and allowed Ford’s staff inside. Otherwise, they checked ID at the door to ensure attendees (with the exception of media) lived in the community at St. Clair Avenue East and O’Connor Drive. Once things got underway, all candidates touched on many of the major issues of the campaign – making an effort to speak directly to the crowd of East Yorkers. Karen Stintz made her bona fides clear, namechecking former East York Mayor Willis Blair and the popular Whistler’s restaurant among other things. Ford attempted to do the same. “There was someone very important who was born in East York,” he said. “That was my father, on Jones Avenue.” Jones is not in fact an East York street – it runs south from the Danforth west of Donlands Avenue and historic East York is almost entirely north of the Danforth.

Mayor Rob Ford, left, and his brother and campaign manager Doug Ford, second from left, argue with Justin Van Dette, right, and a volunteer about the size of his entourage as they arrive for the start of the Parkview Hills Community Association all-candidates’ debate held Monday night at PresteignWoodbine United Church.
That wasn’t the only inaccurate claim the mayor made. He told the audience he had already built a subway in Scarborough, and repeated a debunked claim he had saved taxpayers $1 billion, and that he had lowered taxes, which have risen under his watch. And he maintained the levy for the Scarborough subway amounted to “one quarter of one per cent,” which is inaccurate. The subway levy so far is a half of a percentage point and is expected to rise to 1.5 per cent in future years. At one point, Toronto Sun columnist Sue-Ann Levy asked Ford given his lack of support on Toronto council and inability to gain support for his agenda, if he would consider simply stepping out of the race and supporting another candidate who
would take the same course. Ford said he was confident that as his support numbers rose with the public, councillors who’d abandoned him, going so far as to strip him of his powers last year, would return. “You know as well as I do, these people come and go like the wind,” he said, later adding: “We know the polls. Stanley Cup winners don’t hand back the Stanley Cup. If there’s anybody who should step out of this race it’s these people on my left.” Ford gestured to the other four candidates who were coincidentally seated to his left on the stage. Ford generally ignored those candidates, eschewing the opportunity afforded him to engage in one-onone debate with them – although he did point to Tory’s time with the CFL,
In Brief
which he said he drove into the ground, and Rogers’ experiment with negativeoption billing, which occurred under Tory’s watch at Rogers. And he repeated an accusation against Olivia Chow that she had lived in government housing 20 years ago, which Chow maintained was inaccurate – she had paid market rent in a co-op that included other subsidized units. Tory also disputed Ford’s claims. Other candidates didn’t engage directly with Ford much either. When it came time to pick opponents for mano-a-mano debates, Tory was the belle of the ball. David Soknacki, Stintz and Chow all had pointed questions for Tory. Tory, who is in a close race with Chow for the lead in the race, saved his question for her, demanding to know how she would fund her priority for transit, the downtown relief line, (DRL) how long it would take and which configuration she’d choose. Chow said she believed the eastern portion of the DRL could be completed in 10 years – seven years shorter than the 17-year estimate currently on the table – and that the TTC was looking at a number of configurations, and she’d accede to their wisdom. “In order to build it we would have to find the funding – it would be a tripartite agreement between federal, provincial and city governments,” she said.

Collaboration critical for Pan Am success T
he one-year countdown to the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games has begun. As of today’s editorial, we’re 344 days away from the Pan Am and 372 from the Parapan Am. There is little doubt this event will focus eyes on the Greater Toronto Area. The numbers are impressive: $1.14-billion budget; 7,600 athletes expected to attend; 49 Pan Am and 16 Parapan Am events; 15 upgraded sports facilities; 10 new world-class facilities. The figures alone set us up to host what will truly be a worldclass sporting event. However, it’s also a chance for Toronto (and other municipalities involved in the our view Games) to really showcase what makes us great. Toronto, for one, will be on display and we’re defiPut our best ready for it. collective effort nitely The city has communities from all 41 countries across into Games Latin America, South America, the Caribbean and North America attending the Games. From the Colombian community across St. Clair Avenue West, the Brazilians along Dundas Street West and Jamaican communities along Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto is the place to enjoy them all. With it, the Games bring development for Toronto via new athletic facilities in North York and Scarborough to the massive 35-acre Athletes’ Village in the West Don Lands that will be turned into a mixeduse community after the Games. But with all the accolades and excitement come some pretty important concerns, namely the impact on traffic, particularly in Toronto, which is already experiencing dramatic traffic issues. In a recent interview, the city’s director of transportation planning, Stephen Buckley, said it’s still unknown how much of an impact the Games will have on local traffic patterns. However, the Games will also see new transportation infrastructure built, including the Union-Pearson Express air rail link, and improvements to Union Station. Shovels are in the ground, and athletes, coaches and spectators will be here in less than a year. It’s time for governments, communities and Torontonians to get behind the Games in these last stages of planning. Before we know it, it’ll be showtime and we need to make sure we put our best collaborative effort forward to make the kind of impression of which we can all be proud.

Make the most of remainder of summer
T
his week is that special time of transition that comes each summer, where we begin to move slowly towards the fall. August is almost here, and now it is time to make the most of the remaining days of summer. I’ve been enjoying getting out and about East York and Riverdale on my bicycle, enjoying the work and effort that people have been putting into their gardens. It is amazing how much more you see and appreciate simply by slowing down a bit and taking the time to look. There is a bit of an art to getting the most out of living in a community like ours, and if you rush around in your car trying to avoid others doing the same you miss so much. There are businesses, community services, and interesting sights to be found here, and often in
your own back yard. I’m really pleased to take a lot of my business to local stores, and the rewards for doing so are many. One of the most pleasurable is being known by the storeowner or staff, and being given a smile of recognition when you walk into their establishment. road map Frankly, you have in your hands a great little road map for discovering some of the best things in your neighbourhood. I don’t just write for The East York Mirror, I also read it cover to cover when it comes to my door, and one of the most important parts of the paper for me is the community calendar section. There are a lot of good things taking place in and around the neighbourhood this summer for both adults and children.
joe cooper watchdog There is absolutely no excuse for being bored or at loose ends as there is apparently lots to do, if you follow what is happening in the community. Our gem of a park at Todmorden Mills museum on Pottery Road has many summer activities, particularly for children. Take a moment to wander down to take a look at the wonderful collection of historic buildings and the wildflower preserve. This summer is featuring an Eco-Art Fest that includes eight public art installations by seven artists, plus activities for youths and families. Call 416-396-2819 to find out more about the program that will be taking place in August. If you want to get involved in a great com-
munity institution, try volunteering at the East York General Hospital. Please give the hospital a call 416-469-6003 in order to get involved. slow down So take some time this summer to slow down and get to know your neighbourhood and neighbours a little better. The Mirror has always been a good place to find out what is going on, and all it takes it a few minutes each week to keep on top of all of the major events. You can also help your neighbours know what is going on in the community if your group or organization puts notices of events into the calendar section of the paper on a regular basis.

Businesses team up to send pianos to Jamaica ALI RAZA araza@insidetoronto.com Music students in Jamaica have a Leaside piano shop to thank for the opportunity to unleash their musical potential. Robert Lowrey, owner of Robert Lowrey Piano Experts, near Eglinton Ave. E and Laird Drive, is shipping used pianos to the tropical island with help from local entrepreneur Bonnie Hoy and Monarch Moving Systems. A total of 21 pianos will arrive at Montego Bay and will be received by schools, churches and community centres. “Many old pianos just don’t have any value and we’re forced to take them to landfills, which feels terrible,” Lowrey said. “I met Bonnie through our landlord, she does a lot of charity work in Jamaica so we decided this would be a better solution.” Hoy started a program five years ago in Jamaica giving teachers scholarships to go to college. Through her involvement and her contacts, she
helps Lowrey make sure the pianos arrive to the appropriate recipients. She said the feedback she’s received is incredible. “I get calls from schools, teachers and principals,” Hoy said. “They plead to be on the list as a recipient of a piano. They’re just ecstatic.” “One teacher tells me they have a prodigy there. The student’s only been learning for a year and a half and he’s already playing Mozart’s 5th Concerto.” SECOND YEAR This is the second year Lowrey has shipped pianos to Jamaica. Last year he sent 14 and next year hopes to send more. Most of the pianos he sends are from owners wishing to restore or trade-in the piano for a value. Lowrey said with a cost of about $10,000 to restore a piano, it doesn’t seem feasible for most owners. “Some of these people who

are stuck with old pianos in their homes can take the opportunity to ship them over,” he said. “There will be no problem having a third trip, there’s no shortage of them. We’re going to keep doing it because our customers are slowly finding out about it and want to participate.” Last year’s shipment proved difficult to process due to customs and other regulations. Though the shipment made
it to Jamaica, the total cost was very high. This year Lowrey and Hoy contacted John Novak, owner of Monarch Moving Systems to ship the pianos at a minimum cost. Novak has also offered to store the used pianos. Novak and general manager Patrick Daley have shared experience shipping items overseas. They provided Lowrey with the shipping container for the pianos.

Athletes’ Village to be developed into mixed-use community after Games JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com The Toronto 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games will have a special connection to the city’s east end, most notably with an estimated 10,000 athletes and officials from 41 countries set to call 35-acres of the West Don Lands home for nearly two months next summer. Prior to Toronto being awarded the 25-day, multisport event in 2009, a master plan was in place for a sustainable, mixed-use community for the disused and derelict former industrial site just west of the Lower Don River. That plan includes 6,000 market-rate and affordable housing units as well as employment, commercial, institutional and educations areas along with parkland – many of the things needed and required to house the thousands of athletes and officials who will be coming to Toronto for the July 10 to 26 and Aug. 7 to 14, 2015 Games. “This development is almost in perfect alignment for the master plan and the objectives for the Athletes’ Village,” said Denise McNally, a senior project manager with Infrastructure Ontario, the crown corporation that is serving as the project manager for the $514-million Athletes’ Village and all large/small sports venues for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. “The focus has always been to create a wonderful

able what DundeeKilmer (which is designing, building and financing the project) has been able to build in such a short amount of time.” She also said the development of the West Don Lands has also spurred investment in the area. Teddy Katz, chief spokesperson for Toronto 2015 (TO2015) Pan Am/Parapan A m Ga m e s, c a l l e d t h e Athletes’ Village a “Gamestime home away from home for 10,000 athletes, coaches and team officials.” “It will incorporate a full range of amenities, such as a polyclinic with full medical and diagnostic capabilities, retail services and a 24-hour service available through the Village, including a 2,200seat dining hall serving hot and cold foods throughout the day,” he said. “Next to the Don River in Toronto’s waterfront district, the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athlete’s Village will be an important venue for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games. Located close to many of downtown Toronto’s attractions, it will offer athletes and other guests a chance to explore and enjoy the host city’s unique cultural mosaic.” On schedule and is on track for handover to TO2015 in early 2015, the Athletes’ Village is expected to be completed six months before the first athlete arrives.
Aside from being home to the Athletes’ Village during the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games, the city’s east end will also feature Games-related arts and culture programming through PANAMANIA, a 35-day multi-disciplinary arts and culture festival that will run concurrently with the sporting events. The Distillery Historic District is set to be one of the venues that will house the more than 25 unique commissioned works by Canadian artists in theatre, photography, dance, music, spoken word, fashion and visual arts. The projects, which will touch on the themes of water, immigration and Canadian identity and have a special focus on Ontario and Canadian artists connected to the 41 nations participating in the Games, are made possible through $1.5 million in seed funding from TO2015’s Innovation and New Creation Commission and Legacy Fund. Two east-end bridges are also set to be lit up as legacy projects in honour of the 2015 Games. Plans are in the works to illuminate the arches, railings and suicide barrier of the venerable Prince Edward Viaduct with LED lights.

Games’ impact on traffic difficult to predict: city transportation officials RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com
T
hough planning and infrastructure builds are well underway for the 2015 Toronto Pan Am / Parapan Am Games, the city’s transportation officials have outstanding questions as to how traffic will be managed during the event. The largest ever multi-sport undertaking for the Toronto region, the Games are projected to cost $2.5 billion, of which the province has budgeted between $75 million to $90 million for transportation management to ensure 7,700 athletes and coaches, plus some 1.4 million spectators get to their venues on time. Eight new Games venues are located in Toronto, including an athletes village in the West Don Lands community, aquatics centre in Scarborough and an athletic stadium in North York. The Pan Am coverage zone extends from north of Toronto south to St. Catharines. With a year to go, finalizing traffic concerns now would seem a welcome cushion for the province, which has had to deal with issues such as venue construction delays
and the removal of Ian Troop as Games CEO in 2013, replaced by Saad Rafi. In Februar y, the province released a preliminary plan for managing Games traffic following almost two years of consultations between provincial and municipal agencies including the Ministry of Transportation (MOT), Metrolinx, Toronto, the TTC as well as the Games’ Integrated Security Unit. By establishing reserved lanes and encouraging local use transit, the province believes it can reduce existing traffic levels by 20 per cent. But how much of a traffic impact the Games will have on local traffic patterns remains to be seen. “That’s sort of the unknown when you do big events that are, say, anomalies,” said Stephen Buckley, the city’s director of transportation planning. “We don’t know where people are staying, we don’t know what venues they’re attending. We don’t know

where they’re coming from.” “They may come by train, they may come in carpools, they may walk.” Buckley, who – last week – introduced the city’s upgraded traffic control centre intended to modernize citywide monitoring of traffic incidents, said the city is in constant dialogue with Game officials in regards to the transportation plan. “It’s coming along quickly and we’re going to have to start doing
things now,” he said. One of the plan’s chief features is the establishment of a Games Route Network (GRN) along dedicated HOV lanes found on 400-series highways, Lake Shore Boulevard and other major arterials that span 150 kilometres in the GTA alone. Dedicated route networks are now a must for international sporting events and the GRN will be restricted to athletes and personnel and attendees during the Pan American Games, running from July 10 to 26,
and the Parapan American Games which go from Aug. 7 to 15, 2015. They will also be open for use by carpoolers, buses, emergency vehicles and accredited media. Enforcement will be largely on a volunteer basis. The Games will also see the debut of transportation infrastructure such as the Union-Pearson Express air rail link. Infrastructure improvements at Union Station and on Queens Quay are also continuing. When it comes to co-ordinating transit, the TTC and the city have to work together to deal with traffic issues such as delivery trucks and illegally parked cars blocking busy streetcar routes, said TTC CEO Andy Byford. “It’s got to be a joint team effort with the city to once and for all create clear ways for our vehicles to get through, and that can only to be to the benefit of Toronto ultimately,” said Byford following last week’s TTC board meeting. The TTC is about to appoint a Games coordinator who will “obsess about the detail” of its transportation planning, Byford said.

Going Back to School Stress-Free Simple advice from Toronto Central CCAC Fall is around the corner and the return to school is on the minds of parents and kids alike. While many children are looking forward to getting back in touch with their friends after the long hot summer, there are those who may be experiencing feelings of anxiety and stress at the thought of homework and school books. For those children who are in the midst of changing schools or grades, or who have had academic or social difficulties in the past, the approach of Labour Day can trigger feelings of extreme anxiety and in some cases, depression. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) has a team of specialized Mental Health and Addiction Nurses who work in Toronto schools, supporting students, parents and staff who are in need of education, advice and consultation on mental health issues. Whether your younger child is returning to elementary school, or your teen is in the last year of high school, there are some general things that they can do to make the trip back to school less stressful. Following are some tips from Toronto Central CCAC about how to help children deal with the stress of returning to school: • Sleep – Sleep is one of the most important factors in a child’s mental health and well-being. Before Labour Day rolls around encourage your child to get a full night’s sleep so that she feels rested and ready to address the day. A minimum of eight hours is recommended for children and teens, who sometimes may require more. Start your

child’s sleeping schedule a couple of weeks before school starts so that they’re well prepared and well-rested for the first day back. • Talk – Does your child seem anxious? Has their behavior changed, are they acting out or withdrawing from you as the first day of school approaches? They may be experiencing stress related to school’s return and may not know how to articulate their anxiety to you. Open the lines of communication and start a discussion with them about returning to school. Ask them how they feel, what’s on their minds, and what some of their fears or concerns may be. By being available and acknowledging their feelings, you will be one step closer to helping them manage their return to school. • Eat – You are what you eat and so are our kids. A wellbalanced diet that is low in refined sugars and processed foods is the best bet for a child who may be prone to stress. Be sure to support your child in eating fresh fruits and vegetables as well as proteins that will allow them to feel both energized and healthier. A healthy
body will support a healthy mind and will, in many cases, reduce anxiety. • Think – Mindfulness is a skill that even the young can follow. In an age where attention spans are even more limited due to the constant distractions provided by technology, teaching a child to turn off the devices and to practice basic mindfulness techniques can greatly help those who are suffering from anxiety. • Do – Are you concerned that your child needs additional mental health support, beyond what you can provide? There are many options and resources available to you that can help to determine your child’s specific needs. Do some research and reach out for support – there’s help available to you. For local, community-based support in your area, log on to www. torontocentralhealthline.ca.

Harvest Tables made with
Reclaimed Woods By
Alfred
Diamond Award for Best Furniture Store & Best Antique Store
DIAMOND DIAMOND
Unique, hand crafted furniture at Alf’s Antiques Readers in both the Beaches and East York have voted Alf’s Antiques as the area’s Best Furniture Store and Best Antique Store. “It’s a great compliment,” says Michelle Kozak, co-owner with husband Alf. “It’s the clients that select us, so obviously we’re giving them the right approach.” The store opened in 1989, one year after Mrs. Kozak returned from a trip that took her across5600kilometersthroughout England, Whales and Scotland. After touring numerous castles and stately homes, it was the gorgeous wood tables that fired her imagination. Mrs. Kozak reminisces: “I was especially impressed with the beauty and aged wood of Anne Hathaway’s table.” From that inspiration, Mrs. Kozak and her husband launched themselves into the world of antiques and vintage
wood furniture. But to achieve the beauty of distressed wood, they had to find old wood. “You can’t create that look with new wood,” Mrs. Kozak explains. “It’s the age that gives the wood its character, marks and patina.” The couple began sourcing century old wood reclaimed from Victorian houses and barns. Since those early beginnings, Alf’s Antiques has become best known for its hand crafted harvest tables—
all created with a combination of reclaimed wood and Alf’s special approach to refinishing. The 5000ft2 showroom features beautifully crafted benches, sideboards, chairs and unique antiques. Mrs. Kozak also creates custom wood furniture designs in both classic and contemporary styles to suit both home and office. Come in and browse the furniture gallery at Alf’s Antiques, 29 Bermondsey Road.

801 York Mills Rd | (416) 488-4724 | www.positivechangestoronto.com Some people opt for hypnosis as a last resort - imagine their joy when they find that it’s not only effective, but results are lasting. Positive Changes Hypnosis has been helping people change unwanted habits and behaviours such as weight loss, stop smoking, relieve stress, anxiety and phobias, improving sleep and much more since 1999. Hypnotism has become more accepted and therefore widely used in the last decade as people have become better educated about how it works and its successes. Hypnosis works by controlling or eliminating certain unwanted habits and behaviours. If, for example, someone started smoking because it was cool, now that perception is changed that habit no longer serves that person. Hypnosis can override that undesired behaviour. Positive Changes Hypnosis is located in the heart of North york at 801 York Mills Rd. We offer a complimentary assessment and evaluation. Please visit us. It would be our pleasure to be of service to you. Our skilled and experienced hypnotist are waiting to help guide you to your goals whatever they might be.

Might some mayoral candidates step aside before Oct. 27?
I
don’t often find myself agreeing with my colleague Toronto Sun columnist Sue-Ann Levy, but I have to say she asked the best question at Monday evening’s mayoral debate in East York. Taking on Mayor Rob Ford directly, Levy pointed out that with no supporters left on Toronto City Council, he had no hope of fulfilling the agenda he proposed. Why not, she wondered, at some point quit the race and throw support behind a candidate who could fulfill that agenda? Of course, Ford had no intention of doing any such thing and said so, making it clear only Rob Ford could look after taxpayer dollars and if anybody should quit, it was those other candidates. Here in the middle of summer, no one’s going to say anything different. But whether anyone admits it or not, Levy’s
target drivers who text wPolice If you regularly text while behind the wheel of a running car, beware. Starting this week, both Toronto and York Region police began a six-week ticketing blitz for distracted drivers. In recent years, distracted driving is on the rise. The practice is the reason why drivers who text or use their cellphones are 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision, according to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). For tips to prevent distracted driving, visit the CAA’s South Central Ontario campaign website: www. caasco.com/focus around DUNDAS and SPADINA wgetting

david nickle the city question will weigh on the mind of at least two other candidates between now and election Day Oct. 27. David Soknacki and Karen Stintz are two candidates who’ve put forward serious enough campaigns to put them on the A-list for mayoral debates. But at least so far as polls are going, neither has gained traction. That’s not to say they couldn’t. Stintz has spent the term building her reputation as a city councillor and TTC chair with a conservative bent. Soknacki has been out of politics for some time, but he’s put forward a strong centrist platform and of all the reasonable and staid alternatives to Ford, Soknacki is surely the most reasonable and staid. There is in theory yet

The replacement buses are running along Spadina in two sections: north between Spadina Station and Baldwin Street, and south between Sullivan Street to Queens Quay. There is no service between Baldwin and Sullivan. A transfer will be needed to traverse both sections of Spadina. Alternatively the TTC suggests riders make use of the 511 Bathurst line to travel north or south, The changes are scheduled to last until Sunday, Aug. 10. VIDEO ENCOURAGES CYCLING wWALKING,

time for both of those candidates to capture the imagination of voters. There is also time for a graceful exit. Aside from Soknacki’s smart platform and Stintz’ bona fides, there are a number of different visions for Toronto that voters should take a look at. Toronto criminal lawyer Ari Goldkind is running a smart, lo-fi campaign, preaching the gospel of tax-what-you-needto-spend as sensibly as Soknacki. But there is an inertia to celebrity, and that is why, barring some calamity, Ford will not likely heed Levy’s suggestion and throw in the towel until the last poll is closed Oct. 27 – while other candidates who might have a chance of running an effective council after that vote will step aside.

The City of Toronto and Toronto Community Housing are putting people first by working hard to repair social housing. Toronto City Council has approved a plan to secure an unprecedented $864-million investment over 10 years for capital repairs. This funding is being used to repair Toronto Community Housing’s rapidly aging buildings.
The City of Toronto also needs:
Despite these efforts, there is still a significant funding gap which must be filled – a gap the City and Toronto Community Housing cannot fill on their own.
• the federal government to stop withdrawing money from social and co-operative housing and instead reinvest that money back into capital repairs;
That’s why we have launched the Close the Housing Gap campaign. Its goal is to persuade the federal and provincial governments to each match Toronto’s investment of $864 million over 10 years.
• the federal and provincial governments to provide fully-funded, long-term housing strategies.
By doing so, Ottawa and Queen’s Park will help sustain a valued social asset that improves the lives of Torontonians.
• the provincial government to treat social housing providers fairly when paying social assistance rent rates, and
You can add your voice to this campaign by contacting your MPP and MP and tell them to Close the Housing Gap. Or holding campaign events in your community. Or distributing posters, petitions and buttons.
