Holy Name Catholic School celebrates 100 years The decades willl be honoured through visual art retrospectives and dance performances TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com Holy Name Catholic School is celebrating its centennial year with a mass and open house this Saturday.

The mass begins at 1 p.m. at Holy Name Catholic Church, 71 Gough Ave., while the open house takes place from 2:30 to 6 p.m. at Holy Name Catholic School, 690 Carlaw Ave. “It’s going to be an anniversary mass, so there’s going to be different past students, and teachers and principals who will be involved in the mass, either doing readings, or being involved with the prayers of the faithful, or bringing up the gifts,” said Holy Name principal Dave Hogan. “They’re also involved in the music ministry of it as well.”

Hundreds of people are expected to pay tribute to the school at the event, with organizers predicting a possible attendance of more than 500 people.

During the open house, current Holy Name students will honour the decades of the last 100 years through visual art retrospectives, and song and dance performances.

“

What we’re seeing now, is that a lot of kids coming back are children of former students, and so it’s sort of like a chain that keeps going on.

– Holy Name Catholic School, principal Dave Hogan

Holy Name Catholic School first opened its doors to students on Sept.

2, 1913. Since that time, generations of families have grown up attending the school.

“What we’re seeing now, is that a lot of the kids coming back are children of former students, and so it’s sort of like the chain that keeps going on,” said Hogan.

“There’s a whole area here that it’s almost like everyone and their brother knows someone who came to Holy Name, because at one point enrolment here was up over 1,000 students, and it was almost like the hub of the area ... So it’s a real sense of tradition here as well.”

Photo/COURTESY

Holy Name Catholic School students formed a giant 100, in honour of the school’s centennial anniversary this year. Celebrations marking the occasion are set for this Saturday.

An online register at www. holyname100.com has been signed

by more than 60 former students planning to attend the centennial celebrations, with many adding anecdotes and fond memories from their time at the school to the registry, and expressing excitement at the chance to reconnect with the Holy Name community.

“There’s just a spirit that runs through the school,” said Hogan.

“I have teachers who have been here for 25 years, and that says to me that there’s a real sense of community that sort of permeates the school. And the people who have been here 25 years, they say that it’s always been that way ... The parents are incredible here, the staff, the students.

Hogan looks forward to hearing where their beginnings at the school have taken people.

“You look back at all the old photos, and you think about the different teachers, and principals, and students and families who have gone through here,” he said.

“There have been so many people who have walked through these doors, and I think it’s so exciting to see where they all are. You know when they come back, they’ll be telling stories about when they were here, but I’m sure you’ll be seeing people who are doing incredible things.”

Pandas can help Toronto feel good

Write us

T

hey’re big, they’re cute and they could be two of the greatest things to happen to our city in decades.

They are Da Mao and Er Shun, the two giant pandas on loan from China who are now on display at the Toronto Zoo in northeast Scarborough for the next five years.

In a word, they are ambassadors. Ambassadors from China. They can serve as ambassadors to bring your family and friends from afar to Toronto.

Beyond the economic benefits of increased tourism that the pandas will bring, we can also use them as a chance to start feeling good about ourselves and our city.

We certainly could use that opportunity given the devastating first-round NHL playoff loss the Toronto Maple Leafs suffered at the hands of the other bears – the Boston Bruins. There has our view been some debate as to whether giant pandas are actually of the bear family, however, genetic testIncrease in ing indicates they are – so these tourism and particular bruins owe us.

Local residents and tourists goodwill alike will have lots of opportunities to see Da Mao and Er Shun in the special Giant Panda Experience exhibit built just for them. It officially opened to the public on Saturday. Visitors can view the exhibit, which includes an interpretative centre, educational opportunities and giant-panda themed exhibits. Of course, the stars of the show will be the pandas themselves, and they seemed fine during the VIP launch of the exhibit late last week - munching on bamboo and looking cute as can be.

The first time the Toronto Zoo hosted a panda exhibit was back in 1985 when our panda guests were Qing Qing and Quan Quan. They only stayed three months that time and the zoo broke all previous attendance records during their visit.

The world is a different place now, and so is Canada’s relationship with China, but what hasn’t changed in 25 years is the fact that our city and our zoo are now the focal point of national and international attention when it comes to giant pandas.

It opens doors for everyone in the city to welcome family and friends, be they from Oakville or the other side of the world, to come and see the pandas. And once our guests have arrived, we can also show them some of the other great things Toronto has to offer.

For more on the pandas go to our website at www. insidetoronto.com and visit the Hot Topics section.

column

A letter to our two giant panda guests Dear Er Shun and Da Mao, A belated welcome to Toronto. I hope you’ll both forgive me for not being on hand to deliver the greeting in person at the official opening of your Toronto Zoo exhibit on Saturday, but I’ve been a tad preoccupied of late. I’ve been spending all my time trying to cheer up scads of forlorn Toronto Maple Leaf fans.

But I’ll be up soon. Count on it. In the meantime, I’ve seen a ton of your pictures online and you both look fantastic. What’s your secret? How can you be none the worse for wear after a long journey from China. I’m worn out after just a jaunt to Buffalo, for crying out loud.

And it’s also very apparent that the quarantine has agreed with you. You must be a couple of real smooth talkers. Quarantines never agree with anybody.

You should also know that the culinary crowd is licking it lips over your mouth-watering all-you-can-eat bamboo, seven-days-a-week, 24-hours-

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY a-day diet just as much as you. Since it was made public, it has become the envy of restaurants all over town. I’m told the Mandarin is hearing footsteps.

A word of warning on that stockpile of yummy bamboo, though. Your parrot neighbour Polly Wannacracker is said to be jealous. You might want to save a doggy bag or two for her to keep that busybody quiet. Know what I’m saying?

You also might want to pass over a few bucks of that $1 million a year you’re picking up for coming here to Edgar the Elephant who lives down the road. That news can’t be making him happy. It’s no secret he’s working for peanuts.

Anyhow, I have no doubt the zoo is going to be a real habitat away from habitat for both of you and you’re going to love it here. Just as

importantly, we’re going to love having you here. Which brings me to the real purpose of this letter.

They say timing is everything in life, and the timing for your arrival couldn’t have been better. You see, the local citizenry is in rough shape at the moment. The Raptors had another so-so campaign, TFC is struggling once again and after so much was expected, the Blue Jays got out of the gate sluggishly.

And the biggest downer of all? The Leafs, who finally made the playoffs after a nineyear drought, ended their season with a heart-breaking OT loss in Game 7 to the big, bad, Bruins. I’m guessing you witnessed that sad tale given that Lazlo the Lion nearby has TV in his den and the rumour going around was that everybody who is anybody at the zoo was invited over to see the game.

Anyhow, Er Shun and Da Mao, more than a week has transpired since that fateful night and we’re still hear-

ing about how difficult it is going to be for everyone to recover. Enough already, I say.

It’s time for the city to get its smile back.

And you’re just the pair to make it happen. But how you might ask? Elementary my dear pandas, elementary.

No, you don’t have to dance around together in a couple of Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk jerseys. Or give a big group hug to Dion Phaneuf and James Reimer.

No choreographed silliness like that is necessary.

All you gotta do, is do what you were brought here to the big leagues to do in the first place: just be you. Period.

I ask you, who can look a couple of giant pandas in their giant eyes without breaking into a huge grin? Nobody, that’s who. It just isn’t possible.

Ford Nation needs to call it quits

T

he trouble with writing a weekly column that appears on Thursday, is that when a mayor finds himself in allegedly hideous and frankly filthy trouble on the previous Friday, it’s tough to find something new to say.

So it is with Mayor Rob Ford, and revelation last Friday of the cell phone video that according to two respected journalists at the Toronto Star alleges to show our mayor smoking crack cocaine.

Earlier in the cycle, I might have joined the chorus of every other columnist working in Toronto media, and said it was time for the mayor to resign.

I’ll take a slightly different tack, and speak directly to Ford Nation.

It might be time, Ford Nation, to call it quits.

Regardless of what happens with the video, it has come time to face some facts.

The mayor, when you

david nickle the city elected him, came with a certain amount of baggage including a 1999 impaired driving conviction in Florida.

There was a certain amount of baggage that you were willing to forgive, because you are a forgiving bunch.

Give up on forgiveness Some commentators say, in fact, that Rob Ford’s foibles have been a part of his charm to Ford Nation: that it shows him to be a regular guy, a guy that sometimes screws up, and not one of the elites.

It is time, Ford Nation, to give up on forgiveness – at least inasmuch as that forgiveness translates to continued fealty, and worse, identification. Because Rob Ford is not like you.

You do not leave impor-

tant work meetings to coach football; you don’t court disaster by ignoring potential conflicts-ofinterest in your job.

You don’t, as a rule, embarrass yourselves, your family and your community.

You are stand-up people, and you don’t need to stand up for this.

In giving up on forgiving our mayor, you need not give up on the agenda he ran on.

There are other good fiscally-conservative politicians in the wings – many of whom have assisted in our mayor’s fulfillment of his agenda this term.

In 2014, you will likely have the opportunity to support one or more of them to continue that agenda.

Call this, Ford Nation, your moment of clarity.

David Nickle is The Mirror’s city hall reporter. His column runs every Thursday.

One regional transit authority is needed To the editor: Re: ‘Metrolinx CEO comments on transportation plans”, Letters, May 16.

As a provincial agency, Metrolinx gets its funding from the province and thus is not at all impartial to the funding decisions that must and can only be decided by the province.

Unfortunately, for the past 40 years, all political parties

and their incumbent career politicians from all three levels of government have mismanaged and failed our cities when it comes to transpiration infrastructure and funding.

Fu r t h e r, t h e c u r re n t makeup of its board members that excludes the mayors from Ontario’s three cities within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) makes

it politically impossible for this agency to effectively coordinate the region’s transit and transportation need.

The amalgamation of all the GTHA area public transit authorities, especially the TTC, systems and operations of GO, TTC Halton, Peel, York, Durham and HSR into one regional transit authority for this region is a must.

Peter Clarke

Subways are the efficient choice To the editor: Re: ‘Metrolinx CEO comments on transportation plans,’ Letters, May 16.

This letter just about clarifies the problems Toronto is faced with.

But in all of the time Metrolinx has been in operation, courtesy of the Liberal

government, nothing has improved.

If the truth be known, nothing will as one only has to look at the accomplishments so far and just how much it has cost the poor taxpayers.

Any two year old knows, we need subways - it is the only modern efficient way.

The stupidity of wasting tax dollars on above-ground fixed rail operations is going backward, not forward.

Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of Metrolinx, cites a pile of information, but few specifics.

One in three Canadian kids are left on the side of the rink In Canada, one in three families cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers (Vision Critical 2011).

Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate, but she didn’t think it would be possible coming from a family of four kids and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness.

Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her family were introduced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. The Jumpstart program supported Marlee’s skating lessons and skate Canada membership through financial assistance.

A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal – to one-day join the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream.

“Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed to enter some very challenging provincial and national figure skating competitions in Canada,” says Marlee Stein.

“With all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.”

“The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives,” says Johnny Misley, President, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “Jumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers so financially disadvantaged children can simply participate, and ultimately pusue their dreams.”

Kids who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation,

outside school hours, gain many short and long term benefits including increased self esteem, greater self confidence, leadership skills, and better grades.

Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get kids into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of registration, equipment and/or transportation, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped 570,000 (and counting) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice.

Help kids from your community by visiting Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Atmosphere, Mark’s and Canadian Tire Gas+ stores as well as Pita Pit locations throughout the month of May to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball, with 100 per cent of all donations going to help kids play. The May campaign will be celebrated on Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 25, with fun activities taking place at participating Canadian Tire Retail stores across the country, including charity barbeque’s or GoClean waterless car washes.

Input sought on off-leash hours The City of Toronto is asking residents this month whether dogs should run free in some parks during early morning or late night “courtesy hours”.

There are a number of fenced off-leash areas across the city, but their distribution is uneven.

Councillors on the city’s Parks and Environment Committee voted last November to investigate a

new category of off-leash opportunity for dog owners, “courtesy hours,” which would not occur in parks where fenced dog areas exist.

Proposed courtesy periods, if the city’s rules are amended, would happen in parks from 6 to 8 a.m. and 9 to 11 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 7 to 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. to midnight on weekends and

holidays.

Locations for these parks would be approved based on existing criteria for selecting fenced off-leash sites.

The city has posted a survey at www.toronto.ca/parks/ engagement/offleashparksurvey.htm it says residents can fill out until May 31.

Results will be reported back to a meeting of the committee.

transit system lags in service coverage wTransit A recent study comparing Toronto and Chicago’s transit systems finds the American city is far superior when it comes to service coverage.

The comparison study by the Martin Prosperity Institute, part of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, found the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) was far more likely than the TTC to have a transit connection within 500 metres – the equivalent of a 10-minute walk – of a regular city block.

The comparison between the sister cities also found Chicago, which operates eight rapid transit lines, has far better downtown coverage enabling commuters from the outer suburbs to travel long distances without having to switch vehicles.

Conversely, Toronto riders often require multiple transfers to get downtown.

While the study, which was posted on the Martin Prosperity Institute’s blog, finds both cities’ transit systems under-delivering on transit accessibility, it

The Centennial College students who produced an eight-part web series about commuting tribulations in the Toronto region, are set to commemorate the project’s conclusion.

The Big Race GTHA was conceived and produced by the students, all of whom are enrolled at Centennial’s Mortimer and Carlaw avenues campus in East York.

The series features three contestants vying to traverse the transit system in the least amount of time.

The competition, conceived and filmed entirely by the students, depicts contestants Dave Meslin, Kendall Duthie and Mitzie Hunter racing between distant transit checkpoints in a manner

similar to the popular reality television series The Amazing Race.

The students have scheduled a wrap party for the series in early June.

Opposition to Metrolinx funding plans not a surprise: Murray RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com As Metrolinx gets set to release recommendations for new taxes and fees at its meeting this Monday, Ontario Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Glen Murray said he was not surprised municipalities such as Toronto opted not to endorse a single revenue tool.

In an interview Tuesday, Murray said he and Premier Kathleen Wynne had expected dissent from some politicians, regarding their opinions of the 11 proposed taxes and fees Metrolinx sought feedback on. Those revenue tools would raise $2 billion annually to pay for the completion of the $50 billion Big Move transit plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

“If you go into a conversation only looking for people to agree with you, you’ll be most sadly disappointed,”

said Murray.

“I think there have been some very good ideas put forward by most municipalities and there’s been some, as we expected, who haven’t agreed, and we respect that.”

During a marathon Toronto City Council meeting during the second week of May, councillors voted to reject staff recommendations on the Metrolinx revenue tools and to support a Scarborough subway line to replace a fullyfunded light rail transit line already agreed to by the province and Metrolinx.

Master agreement Murray said Toronto council was free to re-visit its master agreement with Metrolinx for four provincially funded light rail lines, including the Scarborough LRT, so long as it took care of any extra costs associated with a change in the plans. “Toronto has invested in subways and

transit before and nothing in the The Big Move stops them from building anything,” he said. “If the city wants to bring other projects and proposals it wants to pay for, it is quite capable of making those decisions.”

Murray also said the Ontario Liberals would continue to support electrifying the Union Pearson Express (UP) air rail link, but insisted it wouldn’t happen until after the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games at the earliest. While mentioning 2017 as a potential target date for completion, he said “clean” diesel trains ordered

by Metrolinx will run along what will be the city’s first express rapid transit connection between Pearson airport and Union Station when UP starts operating in time for the Pan Am Games.

Toronto says no to downtown, Woodbine casinos DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com An expansion of casino gambling anywhere in Toronto is no longer in the cards, after council voted to reject both a downtown casino and expansion of the Woodbine Racetrack into a full-blown casino in north Etobicoke.

Council made the decision after a relatively swift

debate at a special meeting Tuesday.

Mayor Rob Ford had attempted to cancel the meeting late last week, declaring a downtown casino dead, but 24 councillors pushed to hold the meeting anyway, to settle the matter.

At issue for both Ford and opponents of the casino was the amount of the provincial hosting fee.

Ford and casino supporters had said that Toronto needed a minimum of $100 million annually in hosting fees to host a major casino.

But the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation only offered a total of $65-70 million for a downtown casino.

Ford moved a motion that would cancel the downtown casino, but keep the ball rolling on letting the province

establish a second casino at the Woodbine Racetrack.

He rested the blame for the failure of the downtown casino on the shoulders of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.

“One year ago the government of Ontario asked Toronto to host a new casino in this great city,” he said.

“Since then Toronto has spent a year grappling with the issues. We carried the load and did a lot of the hard work.

It now appears that Premier Wynne has chosen a different direction.”

He continued, “I will not support a casino that is not in the best interest of Toronto.

Hosting a casino in Toronto that does little to address Toronto’s needs and makes the provincial government richer is not in the interests of Torontonians.”

Council rejected Ford’s motion, with a vote of 13-31, instead supporting Trinity-Spadina Councillor Mike Layton’s motions that would reject a new casino

“We had over 200 people here showing their support,” said Evaves.

“We sent 600 letters, there’s a petition signed. I feel most badly for those people whose jobs depend on Woodbine’s racetrack.”

downtown, and oppose gaming expansion in the C2 zone where the Woodbine Racetrack is located.

That last vote carried by a narrower margin — 24-20.

Disappointing Nick Eaves, President a n d C E O o f Wo o d b in e Entertainment, said the vote was disappointing.

Woodbine faces a tough time, he said, if the province locates its casino outside Toronto in Markham or Vaughan. That would create a competition that the racetrack couldn’t necessarily

Layton, however, pointed out that council’s rejection of gambling was a matter of principle — and noted that Woodbine would be able to maintain its existing operations.

“The motion put forward reflects that this wasn’t just about a hosting fee — this was about the impact on the citizens of Toronto,” he said.

“We don’t want the province to put forward a policy that encourages more people to become addicted to gambling.”
