Hamper’s Santa Claus Parade set for Sunday The most wonderful time of the year will kick off Sunday in the Upper Beach with the ninth annual Hamper’s Santa Claus Parade on Kingston Road. Presented by Community Centre 55 (CC55) and the K i n g s t o n Ro a d V i l l a g e Business Association, the Christmas parade will get underway at 1 p.m. at Victoria Park Avenue at Kingston Road. The parade is named in honour of Community Centre 55’s mascot, Hamper, the Reindeer, and this year’s theme is Christmas Morning, featuring scores of colourful floats, marching bands and costumed characters. The route will run west along Kingston to Walter Street, north to Lyall Avenue, west to Kimberley Avenue and north to Swanwick Avenue before coming to an end at CC55 at 97 Main St. Children can bring along their letters to Santa Claus, which will be collected for direct delivery to Santa at the

North Pole. Those in attendance are asked to bring a toonie in support of CC55’s Share-AChristmas campaign that collects food and gift hampers for less fortunate people in the community during the holiday season. Motorists should note there will be no parking along the parade route during the parade; vehicles will be towed. Groups welcome Groups are still welcome to take part in Hamper’s Christmas Parade. Visit www. centre55.com/events_sc_ parade.htm or call 416-6911113 for more information. Following the parade, community members are welcome to attend a post-parade gathering, which will serve as the official launch of the 34rd annual Share-A-Christmas campaign, at Community Centre 55. The celebration will include music, tree trimming, face painting, a bar-

Fundraising events are planned for the coming weeks to raise money, collect food and gather toys for CC55’s Share-A-Christmas program, which this year is expected to serve upwards of 1,000 local families. Starting this weekend and for the next four weekends, food will be collected at the Freshco supermarket at Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East. Food donation barrels will also be rolled out throughout the community in the coming weeks for the Share-A-Christmas program. “We couldn’t do this without the community’s support and generosity,” said Debbie Visconti, CC55’s executive director, during a recent interview. “It is all about neighbours helping neighbours.” – Joanna Lavoie

Remembering the fallen at East York Cenotaph Parade of service members march down Coxwell Avenue as part of ceremony TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com

undreds of people gathered under a grey sky in East York Nov. 11, to pay respect to Canada’s servicemen and women. A parade of service members of all ages and stripes marched down Coxwell Avenue and into the Memorial Gardens at the East York Civic Centre to start the Remembrance Day ceremony, as military bands played. “We come together today to remember and honour the more than 117,000 Canadian men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we Canadians enjoy,” Zone D3 Commander Walter Vaughan told the crowd. “We owe a deep gratitude to those who have served and those who are still serving in our Armed Forces, and those members of our police, our fire, our EMS, and our doctors and nurses as they serve around the world in both war and peace-keeping

missions.” Members of the crowd joined in a singing of O Canada, as Canadian flags, provincial flags, military flags, the Union Jack and others were displayed proudly by parade members, who stood at attention as the ceremony unfolded around the cenotaph. Beside the East York Civic Centre’s Canadian flag, a Lest We Forget flag with a large poppy flew at half mast. Crowd members also joined in the singing of hymns and God Save the Queen, and the First Light Scout Band performed a song called Remember Them Well. Pte. Ken Campbell from The Royal Canadian Hussars read In Flanders Fields, which turned 100 this year, and Reverend

Jim Parker of Bethany Baptist Church offered prayers. “This is a day to remember, this is a day to grieve, this is a day to give thanks,” said Rev. Parker. “As we go together throughout this day, throughout this year, may we go continuing to remember, keeping faith with those who have died and those who have sacrificed. May we go in deep gratitude for the freedom that we now enjoy, and may we go with deep resolve to do all we can to make peace prevail in East York, in Toronto, throughout Canada and around this world.” B e a c h e s - E a s t Yo r k Councillor Janet Davis spoke about the need to support Canada’s veterans, encouraging people to assist and advocate for those struggling to heal the physical and emotional scars of war. “Today, as we remember those who gave their lives, we also cannot forget our commitment to peace. Peace in our homes, in our schools, peace on our streets and peace in the world,” she added. “Together we keep alive the legacy of those who have died, together we work for a better world.” Se ve ra l w re a t h s a n d poppies were placed at the cenotaph. A fly past by the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum was a moving sight for many. “I watched a lot of people in the crowd shed a tear when the planes went over,” said East York resident Connie Mitchell. “The fly by with the heritage planes, it was beautiful.” Mitchell attends the East York ceremony every year.

“We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all the lovely veterans and what they did for us,” she said. “It was great to see all the people (here) with the children, all different ages.

Rockingham said it’s important for her to attend the ceremony every year as well. Many in her family were members of Canada’s Armed Forces, including uncles she lost in the Second World War and her brother who just retired from the Navy. “It is a time to think about what was sacrificed, the horrors that previous generations have gone through that

we’ve been lucky enough to escape,” she said. “I think it’s important for us to stay very cognizant of how easy we lose our freedoms if we do not pay attention, and to say thanks.” As the parade exited, many in the crowd applauded, bringing smiles to some parade member’s faces; in East York, their sacrifice has not been forgotten.

he CN Tower lit up in blue, white and red on Friday night, symbolizing the solidarity of Torontonians with the people of France after the terror attacks in Paris. As more reports surface about the Islamic State group who claimed responsibility for the attacks, it’s in solidarity we stand up against the hate demonstrated through their violent acts that left more than 120 dead. But it’s just as important to stand up against incidents closer to home our view violent that have been reported this week, which also appear to be Take pride motivated by hate, according to police. in Toronto’s Toronto The unprovoked attack on a Muslim woman by two males just diversity outside Grenoble Public School in Flemingdon Park should be condemned. This comes only a couple of days after a mosque in Peterborough was set on fire, which is also being investigated as a hate crime. While police have stepped up vigilance in public spaces in light of the Paris attacks, we need to be vigilant now in promoting, reaffirming and upholding the values of respect that’s crucial to living peacefully in a multicultural city such as Toronto. Just as the actions and beliefs of the Islamic State group aren’t representative of the local Muslim community, let’s make it clear the actions and beliefs of the few who are committing these hate crimes aren’t representative of all Torontonians. As Mayor John Tory noted in a vigil last weekend at Nathan Phillips Square, any retaliatory attacks only target the majority of Muslims who have nothing to do with the actions of extremists such as ISIS. “These people who perpetrated these attacks represent no one,” he said. “They are not representatives of any faith or nationality; they are people that have decided to take on a set of values and try to destroy our way of life.” It’s also important to heed the mayor’s statement that the city will run business as usual. For Toronto residents, that means living peacefully in a city that prides itself on its diversity.

Do not give in to the fear, the anger, the hate It was barely a year ago that the shootings in Ottawa made their lasting impact on security at Toronto City Hall. Since that day, security has stationed a single guard at the little-used north entrance to City Hall, which gives quick access to the elections office and the City Hall Press Gallery. The door is locked, and only those with key-cards can make it inside. Otherwise, there has been very little change – visible change, at any rate – in the way security is conducted at the centre of government of Canada’s largest city. There has been no local equivalent, certainly, of the federal Bill C-51 enacted by the old Harper government to broadly empower police and security agencies and to limit freedom and privacy rights, beyond the level that those agencies themselves deemed necessary. But for those working at City Hall? A well-mannered, unarmed guard watching a

david nickle the city door that’s used mainly by employees, and otherwise it is business as usual. Well, it’s not entirely business as usual. Over the course of that year, Toronto elected a new mayor, and in the course of the year that mayor, John Tory, was moved not by fear, but by laudable compassion for Syrian refugees, fleeing from the same terrorist gang that inspired the Ottawa shootings. Tory, unlike other political leaders in this and other countries, has made it clear Toronto will be a welcoming place. And so it is that as we consider last Friday’s atrocities in Paris, we do so from a city that has generally acquitted itself well in the face of terror, in a manner similar to those good Parisians who opened their doors to strangers, stranded in their locked-down city.

Torontonians too are good people, or at least have the demonstrated capacity for goodness, and courage, and levelheadedness. That capacity may well be tested. As I write this on Tuesday, police are investigating what appears to be a hate crime – the beating of a Muslim mother on her way to pick up a child from school in Don Mills. A mosque was also burned in Peterborough over the weekend. These things both seem to be hate crimes, brewed from that toxic combination of fear and anger. Given Torontonians’ general civility and levelheadedness, there is legitimate hope the incidents will be outliers. The question now is what we do next, and the answer immediately is to simply carry on with our lives as they had been. The terrorists would prefer that we not, that we show them a trembling respect by withdrawing from civic engagement, by

isolating the religious and cultural groups from whom they would like to recruit, by posting more guards, agreeing to laws that restrict our liberties even further. We should prefer to do otherwise. On Tuesday, the city announced an exceedingly generous private donation to build parkland in an ugly space underneath the Gardiner Expressway. That is cause for celebration. We will soon be welcoming new residents, first as refugees, then perhaps permanent residents and finally if they choose to remain, citizens. As this goes on, we will work and plan and sometimes squabble over how best to build transit and repair public housing and improve our lives here. That is a busy and virtuous schedule. There is no time in it for fear, and there is no place in it for hate.

Amicus stages Robin Hood at Papermill maria tzavaras eym@insidetoronto.com Amicus Productions opened its season with a wild and unique production of the well-known story of Robin Hood. However, this adaptation by Don Nigro is not the story you may remember. In this version, our hero Robin Hood (Adam Brooks) avoids violence at any cost. He is also environmentally conscious and feels that peace is the only way to accomplish anything. But one of the most interesting things about this Robin Hood is that he avoids killing. Haunted by the accidental killing his father years before, this single act has shaped his views on the way he lives his life today. The show opens in Sherwood Forest, where we meet Maid Marion (Celeste Van Vroenhoven), her lady-inwaiting, Quigley (Riley Nelson), the Sheriff (Liam Doherty), and a few of his men. They are escorting Marion to Prince John (Stephen Flett), who she

is to marry. In contrast to the Marion we know, this one is a spoiled, ignorant rich girl who believes all noblemen are kind and fair. Also different is the Sheriff and his men are cowards, afraid of Robin Hood and his men. After a strange skirmish, they do attack and take Marion and Quigley, but Marion is in for a surprise. Robin Hood and his men, Will Scarlett (Ryan Abedi), Friar Tuck (Tom O’Neill), and Little John (Francis Melling) are not bandits, but only want to show Marion the rich are thriving while the poor are barely surviving. And so begins Robin Hood’s quest to teach her what’s going on in the “real world” outside and on the lands of the kingdom where the peasants live. However, as honourable as his intentions are, it’s an arduous road. He cuts up her gowns, which doesn’t go over well, and takes her to see peasants living amongst the pigs. Somehow that eventually resonates with

her and with her new realization in tow, Robin brings her home where she is determined to make things right. Meanwhile, there are some bizarre things happening at the castle where Prince John, his mistress, Bronwen (Melissa Verwey) and his mother, Queen Eleanor (Paulette St. Amour) are awaiting Marion’s arrival.

formance, making this version of Robin Hood believable and likeable. As does Vroenhoven as Marion, who portrays her transition from naive and ignorant to aware and mindful in a funny yet endearing way. Robin Hood’s men are the comedic lights of this show, especially O’Neill as the lustful Friar, Abedi as Will and Melling as Little John. Flett’s comedic talent also shines as Prince John as does St. Amour and Verwey as Queen Eleanor and Bronwen. In total, 40 characters are brought to life by this cast, many of whom played more than one character including Alex Bortoluzzi, who plays the Dark Monk and a mystery character. This show is a unique and funny adaptation of Robin Hood, and one that you will not soon forget. Performances: Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. with a matinee at 2 p.m. at the Papermill Theatre at Todmorden Mills, 67 Pottery Rd. Tickets are $22. Call 416860-6176.

fall in love Robin and Marion also start to fall in love, but can they inspire change? Will the noblemen change their ways? The answers are open for interpretation. This show is similar to an abstract painting; you may like some parts and question others. It has supernatural, farce, and socially-conscious themes, so it truly is a smorgasbord. However, what is not questionable are the talented performers who are funny and entertaining through this unique adaptation. Brooks gives a superb per-

Nisbet Lodge hosts Christmas Bazaar Fear a disease that eats at the soul

Nisbet Lodge - McClintock Manor is hosting its second annual Christmas Bazaar and currently accepting donations and vendor applications. All proceeds from the event will go towards the foundation’s campaign, “The Caring Continues Year 3.” Vendors will showcase their uniquely crafted items, like jewellery, knitted goods, crocheted items, Christmas ornaments, antique linens, preserves, desserts and more. There will also be a bake sale, collectibles, silent auction and cafe. Nisbet Lodge was founded by Calvary Church, Toronto and opened in 1973. Over the years, the retirement home evolved into a long-term care home. McClintock Manor opened next door in 1993 and is a seniors’ apartment building with a mix of market and rent geared income units. It was built as a continuum of care model where seniors can move in while still active, access home support services as needed and eventually move

to the Lodge if their care needs increase. The Nisbet Lodge - McClintock Foundation was started in 1993 to support the ongoing work of providing housing and care. Over the years, it has supported many capital projects like a nurse call system, craft room, lounge upgrades and more. The proceeds from the bazaar will support new resident room curtains and a new computer centre. Anyone interested in making a donation for the silent auction or becoming a vendor is asked to contact Gwen Ramsay at 416-469-1105 or email foundation@nisbetlodge.com. Guests are welcome from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on December 5 to find unique Christmas gifts while supporting a great cause. Nisbet Lodge is located across the road from the Pape subway station and visitors can enter through the 730 Pape Avenue address. Parking is available in the Green P lot on the west side of Pape, just north of the Danforth.

The terrible events in Paris this past week have yet again pointed out the conflicts and confrontations that face our world. I have to say that when I came into work on Monday there were a number of people who were deeply saddened due to personal connections to that city. Either they had friends there, or had visited, or just felt emotionally connected to the events due to having lived in fear during their lives. Many of the people I talked to had immigrated to Canada to escape from the fear that comes of not knowing what would come next in their lives. As I have written before, we who live in East York are far more fortunate that we can imagine given the reality of most of the world. Yes, we have our minor annoyances: traffic, a grouchy neighbour, a noisy motorcycle, shovelling snow and so forth. We don’t have to face

see our flyer in today’s paper or visit us online at badboy.ca

joe cooper watchdog the terrible conditions that many do of corrupt officials, roving groups with machine guns, random bombing and other horrors. However, we must not take that peace for granted, and I am not talking about becoming paranoid and defensive. There have been reports of stupid and irresponsible people taking it upon themselves to “avenge” the events in Paris by attacking Muslim people and institutions here. Not all the events are local, such as the burning of the mosque in Peterborough, but a Muslim woman was attacked in Flemingdon Park recently. These kind of actions have no place in Canadian society and serve only to aggravate an already tragic situation. The reality is that we have a large and significant Muslim population in

Toronto and Canada, and it is part of our society. The fact is that in any social group there will be the disaffected who will turn to radical solutions and do terrible things. If you look at the history of Canada you will find many groups, including those who claim to be the official representatives, that turned to violence to push their agenda. Yet, we live in an amazingly peaceful and safe city. The key thing to keeping it that way is to maintain an attitude of peaceful coexistence amongst one another. Let us not all fall prey to hate, suspicion and paranoid thinking and begin to look upon one another as being someone to mistrust. Fear is a disease that eats at the soul and we don’t need that here.

The Ontario government is promising to provide an update on wider implementation of High Occupancy Toll or HOT lanes by the end of the year, but until then is staying mum on its plans. Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca asked for patience until the details are finalized, which he promised will be made known in a matter of weeks. The lanes are supposed

to be installed on 400-series highways. What is known is no regular lanes will be removed, and existing HOV carpool lanes will become tolling lanes for single occupancy vehicles. But there’s still no indication of locations, dates for implementation or how much the HOT lane will cost. share of gas tax is $170 million wToronto’s

Toronto will get nearly $170 million from this year’s allocation of provincial gas tax revenues. The province reserves two cents from every litre of gas taxed and hands the proceeds to municipalities for transit. Toronto gets $8 million more this year compared to 2014’s allocations and just over half of the available funding of $332 million.

Bowmore students talk about importance of Remembrance Day JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Students at Bowmore Road Junior and Senior Public School understand the importance of Remembrance Day. “I think Remembrance Day is important because if young kids like us weren’t educated about it we’d assume our freedom is free,” said Grade 8 student Nathan Monson, following the east-end school’s annual junior/senior Remembrance Day assembly Nov. 11. “We need to know freedom comes at a price.” Grade 7 student Dalia Amer said “the soldiers who fought for our peace and freedom” is the reason she’s here today. “If we forget their sacrifices, we can make the same mistakes over and over again,” said Dalia, who took part in her school’s assembly as a member of the choir as well as the band. Ben Killean, who is in Grade 8, agreed: “Without these veterans we wouldn’t be able to (have this Remembrance Day

he gives of his time to serve his country. Guitard, who is studying to become a police officer, said the main reason he joined the military was to “protect those who can’t protect themselves.”

Ne a r l y 9 0 0 s t u d e n t s took part in the school’s Remembrance Day ceremonies, one for primary grades and another for junior and senior students.

Pte. Logan Guitard, a reservist with the 48th Highlanders of Canada, was invited to take part and shared a few words about what Remembrance Day means to him and why

We need to know freedom comes at a price. – Nathan Monson, Grade 8

He also impressed upon the students that there are a lot of children around the world who don’t have the same opportunities they do and to never take the rights and freedoms they enjoy for granted. “I want the kids to remember a lot of people went before them and sacrificed a lot,” he shared after the assembly. “We should never forget we’re from a great country.” The Bowmore school community has an especially strong connection to Remembrance Day, said assembly organizer Stephen Ross.

“There are lots of local connections to Remembrance Day and military service here at Bowmore,” said Ross, a Grade 7/8 teacher, pointing to his colleague, Mary Anne Cain, who served in the Navy. “I think it’s very important to remember especially with the (Second World War) veterans getting older. There’s so few of them left.” Last year, Bowmore had a display in its front hallway featuring photographs and stories about family members and loved one of Bowmore students and staff members who served and continue to serve. This year, the school presented slideshows with pictures of family and friends of staff members and students who served and are serving Canada, along with poems, songs and a moment of silence. Large poppies inscribed with the names of the 158 Canadians who gave their lives serving in Afghanistan also decorated the walls of the school’s gym.
