JOanna lavOie jlavoie@insidetoronto.com East Toronto residents shocked, saddened and dismayed by the discovery of racist posters in and around Stan Wadlow Park are vowing to let everyone know theirs is an open and inclusive community.

Within minutes of news breaking Monday morning that posters with white supremacist messages had been plastered near Woodbine and Cosburn avenues, dozens members of the East Toronto Young Mothers (ETYM) Facebook group expressed their outrage.

They also started brainstorming about ways they could stand up against this hateful behaviour. ● See ALTERNATIVE, page 11

Youth cabinet helping improve financial literacy Tara HaTHerly thatherly@insidetoronto.com

Dan Pearce/Metroland

The Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC), the official youth advisory board to the City of Toronto, is petitioning Ontario’s Ministry of Education to include a clearly defined financial literacy component in the mandatory Grade 10 career studies course. Prakash Amarasooriya is representing TYC in the initiative, and poses here before meeting with Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter at Queen’s Park. that material in a competent and confident way.”

In a recent statement, recognizing November as financial literacy month, The Ministry of Education noted it has spent more than $3 million on financial literacy resources and professional learning opportunities for elementary and high school teachers since 2011.

Amarasooriya said incorporating the material into the Grade 10 career studies course makes sense because the course is mandatory, so all students would get the knowledge they need to succeed financially.

It also comes at a time when students are starting to use bank accounts and preparing to apply for student and car loans, and credit cards, in the near future.

He believes the topic can be added to the current course without sacrificing anything

from its curriculum. The course currently focuses on developing self-assessment, personal-management, careerplanning, job-search, decisionmaking, organization, transition and communication skills.

Some schools bring in financial literacy experts to teach students skills, noted Amarasooriya, adding, “The problem with that is that that only applies to some schools, and more than not it’s the affluent neighbourhoods.”

He didn’t know what to expect when he met with Minister Hunter, but he and the TYC were thrilled to find she and the Ministry of Education want to work with the group to make its vision a reality.

“I’m still in disbelief about it,” he said, following the meeting. “It was a great meeting and a productive one. We just want to make sure going forward

that we don’t lose sight of the objective and that we actually create meaningful change in the curriculum.”

The TYC is excited to work with the Ministry to develop a curriculum, he added. The group is doing its homework and consulting with relevant parties to see what resources are available to aid curriculum development and how financial literacy is taught in other parts of Canada.

“We appreciate the feedback we received from members of the Toronto Youth Cabinet and will continue to work with educators, parents and students to inform next steps in curriculum review,” said Minister Hunter in a statement emailed to Metroland Media. “By learning about financial literacy, students will have the skills they need to thrive now and throughout the rest of their

lives.”

On Nov. 3, Minister Hunter posted a video to Twitter captioned, “Hey @TOYouthCabinet, I hear you on #FinLit! Good news: We’re improving financial literacy for students.”

In the video, she talks about the importance of financial literacy for ensuring student success and economic strength.

“Ensuring that students have the information that they need for everyday life is critical,” she said. “We will be updating the Ontario curriculum careers course to have a dedicated module for financial literacy.”

he Toronto Youth Cabinet wants to ensure everyone in Ontario graduates high school knowing how to budget, manage debt, file taxes and purchase property.

And the group, the official youth advisory board of the City of Toronto, has convinced Ontario’s Ministry of Education to make it happen.

“I think it’s something that a lot of youth have been talking about for a while, that they don’t feel that they are learning life skills in the current education system,” said Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC) member Prakash Amarasooriya, who is representing the group’s initiative to have a clearly defined financial literacy component added to Ontario’s Grade 10 career studies course.

“If students are aware of how to use basic financial tools as well as how to think longterm early, I think you’ll create smarter citizens, which creates a stronger economy for the Province of Ontario.”

In October, the TYC started a petition asking the Province to make the change. According to the Ministry, financial literacy is already dispersed throughout various courses between Grades 4 and 12.

“I think there may be a disconnect between what is intended with the curriculum as well as what is actually being done at school,” Amarasooriya told Metroland Media Tuesday, Oct. 25, ahead of a meeting with Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter at Queen’s Park Tuesday, Nov. 1.

He believes the curriculum’s current references to financial literacy are too vague.

“We don’t think it’s being done as effectively as it can be,” he said. “Ideally, I think we wanted it to be incorporated in multiple courses, just like the government, but we wanted it to at least be in one specific course, because that way you can train teachers as well.

“Teachers have been complaining that they’re not being trained to teach this subject material. So if they don’t feel confident in it, they will not teach students well. And so if you put it into the Grade 10 careers course curriculum, you can train teachers to deliver

Teaching money smarts in school is absolutely necessary

The East York Mirror, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

The East York Mirror is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2.

his year, for the first time, the total amount of household debt owed by Canadians surpassed the country’s entire gross domestic product (GDP).

And according to Statistics Canada, the gap between disposable household income and credit market debt is getting wider - meaning we’re just not making enough money to catch up to what we owe.

For people who are struggling to find financial balance, figuring it out often comes well after the problem’s already established. For younger generations, these trends indicate a critical need for them to get money smart before it’s too late.

Thanks to the Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC), there’s good news on that front. Its members started a petition and successfully lobbied the province’s Ministry of Education to include dedicated financial literacy offerings in the high school curriculum.

The subject is currently touched upon in a variety of courses between Grades 4 and 12.

But it’s not enough, suggests TYC member Prakash Amarasooriya, who spoke to us about the campaign.

Teachers aren’t being trained properly and the opportunity for impactful learning is being missed.

“If students are aware how to use basic financial tools as well as how to think long-term early, you’ll create smarter citizens, which creates a stronger economy for the Province of Ontario,” he said.

Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter met with the TYC and has agreed to a curriculum review and adding the material to the mandatory Grade 10 career studies course.

The Bank of Canada warned this year that consumer debt is growing at a historic rate - due much in part to record-low interest rates - and that it will eventually become unsustainable. No doubt, the adult population suffering under the weight of this debt could have benefitted from mandatory financial literacy classes in school.

It’s not too late to give younger generations the skills needed to budget, manage debt, file taxes and purchase property. Kudos to the students that are taking action to make those lessons part of the high school experience.

But, as the TYC argues, those lessons need to carry enough weight to stick with them for the rest of their lives.

The broader student body may not currently realize what good their peers are doing for them, but once they start their careers, take on rent or mortgages and juggle bank accounts and credit cards, it’ll be come evidently clear.

Cycling culture pushing its way into suburbs Two bike hubs open up in Scarborough this year The year 2011 was a bad one for cycling in Toronto's suburbs.

Councillor Michelle Holland in Southwest Scarborough wiped out bike lanes on Pharmacy Avenue and Birchmount Road. Her residents, she said, called hundreds of times, demanding this.

The Rob Ford administration believed suburban cyclists wanted to ride on well-lit off-street trails, not busy city streets.

But that same year, councillors with wards atop the Scarborough Bluffs shelved extensions of the Waterfront Trail through three

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto local parks - public lands you own - after getting earfuls from the neighbours.

Some claimed cyclists speeding through these parks on new paths would collide with seniors and dog-walkers; they would scare wildlife away.

Between 1996 and 2011, there was an "explosion" of cycling in Toronto's core - in some areas, 20 per cent of trips were now by bike - but cycling in outer areas had declined.

Cycling advocates, however, didn't give up on Scarborough or other sections of Toronto far from downtown where, unlike bike savvy neighbourhoods such as Trinity Bellwoods and Danforth Avenue, cyclists in traffic might still seem alien.

In 2016, they opened two bike hubs in Southwest Scarborough where, says Marvin Macaraig of Scarborough Cycles, riders shun wider roads for Birchmount, Pharmacy and Midland Avenue, where traffic volumes are lower.

It's not just a lack of bike lanes: Toronto's suburbs have few stores selling or repairing bikes (for all its size, Scarborough has just one).

A downtown innovation, hubs offer repair clinics, safety tips and group rides,

building confidence in cycling. "In this first year," Macaraig says "we have learned that there is a definite need and appetite for increased cycling programming in Scarborough."

Researching barriers to cycling in the suburbs, Beth Savan, a senior fellow at University of Toronto's Massey College, believes they can be overcome.

Drivers got used to cyclists downtown, she says, and it won't be rapid, but this "cultural shift" will happen in the suburbs, too.

If the city sticks to its plans, bike lanes are coming by 2025 to Midland in Scarborough, to Jane, Yonge and Bathurst streets in North York, and to Burnhamthorpe Road and Renforth Drive in Etobicoke.

‘Alt-right’: we must be vigilant

I thought it might be nice to talk about garbage privatization in today's column - it looks as though garbage privatization, as in the collection of roadside waste by private companies rather than city workers, will be coming to Toronto Council in January.

But there's another kind of garbage to talk about this week. It's come to the surface just now, with timing that shouldn't be surprising but is still shocking.

It is white supremacism, and hate crime.

On Monday, Insidetoronto.com's Joanna Lavoie and others reported sightings of flyers, promoting a set of so-called "alt-right" websites, and headlined, "Hey, WHITE PERSON." The flyers / posters were tacked up near a school at Stan Wadlow Park in East York.

It's been comforting to believe the "alt-right" movement - white supremacy, dressed up with but-

DAVID NICKLE The City toned-down collars and a patina of pseudointellectual pseudo-rigor - as a beast that came up along with the Trump ascendance in the United States, and one that roams mainly there; and to think that we're a bulwark against that sort of hate, with our own Trudeau ascendance holding the dark back with "sunny ways."

Thinking this is, of course, naïve. In Ottawa Monday night, someone sprayed a swastika and an anti-Semitic slur on the front door of Rabbi Anna Maranta's home. In interviews, she says it's likely someone in

the neighbourhood - otherwise, how would they know to find the Rabbi's home?

It's not as though it's new. B'nai Brith has been tracking anti-Semitic incidents for decades. In 2015, the group logged a total of 1,277 such incidents - one of the higher numbers in the past decade, which has seen incidents numbering between 1,000 and 1,200 a year.

Racism, nativism, hate ... call it what you will, its seeds are planted in Canadian soil just as they are in America. And the electoral validation of a campaign that was based on those things has given them all cause to germinate.

What to do in the face of it? Tearing down the posters is a start. And after that - we've got to find a way to take out the garbage.

Chief Saunders shows he cares about community concerns

This past Tuesday I attended the Community Police Liaison Committee town hall meeting for 54 division that was held at St. Bridget Catholic School.

Despite the rain and US presidential election it was a very well attended event and Toronto's Police Chief Mark Saunders was the principal question taker.

In addition, many displays and information booths had been set up by different members of the police department outlining various crime-stopping programs that were being promoted.

This town hall is one of many such community outreach programs that have been initiated by Chief Saunders since he has taken his position and he should be commended for it.

I must say that I have noticed a real change in attitude among Toronto's police officers where their attitude has become more

JOe COOper Watchdog forthcoming and friendly during his tenure.

I was also very impressed with the diversity of police offers present at the town hall, with not only both genders now in uniform, but seeing a woman who was wearing a blue hijab.

What was also good to hear was that Chief Saunders did not mince words about making mistakes either and he acknowledged that the new grey-coloured police cars was one of them.

This was a case where the police had relied on their own subjective opinion, the Chief admitted, and

had not consulted with the public.

As soon as the negative feedback came in from both the public and the media, further placement of the grey cars on the street stopped and real public consultation began.

There are other areas that Chief Saunders is also becoming more sensitive about, as well, such as the issue of dealing with people with serious mental health issues.

A clear and humane strategy is being developed in that area to ensure that no more tragedies will occur as have in the past.

As with any human run organization, problems will occur and not everything will be perfect but it was clear that Chief Saunders is attempting to make real changes in Toronto's police organization.

In this endeavour, I certainly wish him full success.

tobewon!

Tara HaTHerly thatherly@insidetoronto.com The book launch for AirCrazy, a new book for kids from East York author Elizabeth Muir, is happening Thursday, Nov. 24 in the library at Jackman Avenue Junior Public School.

The picture book, also available in French titled Libres Comme L'Air, chronicles the history of Canadian women in the sky. It follows the progression of Canadian women from airplane passengers to flight attendants and pilots, and astronauts. The book is targeted to kids eight years and older, but its full-colour photos and biographies are said to be engaging and enjoyable for

everyone.

The book launch takes place from 4 to 6 p.m. in the library of the school at 79 Jackman Ave. People of all ages are welcome to attend the event where female pilots will be meeting and talking with guests, sharing how Canadian women aviators broke through the "sky-blue ceiling" to make history in the male-dominated industry and bring women's flight dreams to life.

At the event, Muir will also be selling copies of two of her books for adults, Canadian Women in the Sky and Riverdale: East of the Don. Visit www.lizmuir.ca for more information about the author and her books.

● From page 1 One idea that came up was do an alternative poster campaign.

Jen Leis, an artist and high school teacher who has lived near Danforth Avenue and Main Street for nine years, offered to design a poster with the group’s feedback.

“We want to spread a different message in our community,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

During an online interview with Metroland Media Toronto, Leis said at this point the idea is to ask local shops and restaurants to place the new poster in their windows. It’s also likely the poster will be shared on social media.

“It’s important for me to teach (my children) how to stand up to this kind of hatred and call it when they see it,” said Leis, who has a three year old and a seven year old.

To get the ball rolling, she posted a jpeg of a colourful poster created by

A number of members of the East Toronto Young Mothers Facebook group have recently shared a colourful poster by west-end Toronto’s Kate Austin. her friend Kate Austin on the Facebook group. It features the words love, peace, home, welcome, and respect in English, French, Arabic, Kurdish, and Armenian.

Austin, a west-end resident, designed the poster last year when she was working with an organization that was helping Syrian refugees. Several ETYM members have shared this image.

Some of the moms in the group, which includes more than 3,000 members, have also discussed organizing a solidarity march to Stan

Wadlow Park on Saturday afternoon. Details are still in the works. Visit www. insidetoronto.com for more information as it comes available.

The Danforth East Community Association (DECA) has also spoken out against the racist propaganda that surfaced in the city’s east end Monday morning.

In a note posted on its website, the volunteer-run group’s board of directors said they’re “very alarmed and disturbed by the antidiversity posters” and thanked local politicians for denouncing them.

“We don’t have the answers. Like many of you, we are struggling to find a way to respond to what feels like escalating hate or violence in our community,” the statement said.

Community members are invited to attend the association’s annual party and general meeting on Monday, Nov. 21 at Hirut Café, 2050 Danforth Ave, from 6 to 9 p.m. Visit http:// deca.to/ for more details.

Two east-end Toronto service organizations looking at integrating Two East Toronto organizations are exploring the possibility of integrating.

Call-A-Service Inc./ Harmony Hall Centre for Seniors (Harmony Hall), an East York-based multicultural community centre specializing in transportation, recreational and support services for seniors in East Toronto, and the Leslievilleheadquartered South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC), which offers primary health-care services and health promotion programs to a diverse community, released a joint statement on October 31.

"We are exploring integration because we believe it is an opportunity to both sustain and enhance what we do for newcomers and

seniors with respect to quality, outcomes and access.

We are committed to ensuring that the proposed integration, should we proceed, builds upon the strengths of both organizations," stated the news release.

"This can be accomplished most efficiently by combining the considerable talents of the two organizations at a time when demand for more specialized services to respond to the complex needs of newcomers and seniors is increasing."

Both the SRCHC and Harmony Hall provide services to newcomers and seniors in East York and east-end Toronto. Both also have a shared vision of increasing access for Harmony Hall clients to the services and

programs provided by the SRCHC. The release also said that the integration would be an opportunity to provide access to SRCHC's current and/or expanded programming for additional populations within Harmony Hall's catchment area.

At this point, the board of directors from both groups are working together on the integration, which is expected to be formalized by the spring pending the results of a consultation process and due diligence.

Feedback and questions are welcome. Contact Lynne at LRaskin@srchc.com or Dorene at dweston@calla-service.com to have your say.
