Family seeking to raise awareness after son’s suicide Jasun Singh, 21, jumped from Leaside Bridge MARK A. CADIZ mcadiz@insidetoronto.com Suicide is a subject many choose not to talk about, but undeniably, it’s a reality we all need to address. In Ontario, suicide is the second leading cause of death

in young people aged 15 to 34, according to a Statistics Canada report. For youth between 10 and 24 it’s the leading cause of death in the country. A disturbing number, but for parents like Gulshan and Valerie Singh, these are startling facts. “It was never a topic we discussed with him,” Gulshan said as he talked about his son, Jasun, who died last month after taking his life. “There were no red flags. It was totally out of the blue.”

From what the Singh family observed “there was no reason to talk about it.” This is quite common, according to mental health advocate Alicia Raimundo, who sits on the board of directors at the Ontario Association for Suicide Prevention. “It’s hard to detect warnings signs especially when people are hiding their feelings from their family and friends,” she said. People who are suicidal don’t want to bring shame to their

loved ones and feel that by removing themselves they are helping their family alleviate a burden, Raimundo said. On Oct. 30, Jasun, 21, jumped off the Leaside Bridge, which spans the Don River, north of the Don Valley Parkway. Three weeks to the day of his death the Singh family attended a tribute for the young man at Centennial College where he studied journalism as part of a University of Toronto Scarborough Campus joint program.

Jasun was an aspiring journalist and talented photographer. His classmates thought a tribute of his works was a perfect way to celebrate his life. With Jasun’s death, the Singh family has recognized how widespread suicide is and have reached out to organizations such as the Ontario Association for Suicide Prevention and the Canada Association for Suicide Prevention. “We will learn and join forces and support them in every way >>>suicide, page 2

Suicide barrier called for on Leaside Bridge >>>from page 1 that we can reflecting on our own experiences with it and how devastating it can be,” Gulshan said. The family plans to start a petition to get a suicide barrier installed at the Leaside Bridge. Since barriers were erected at the Bloor Street Viaduct in 2003 the Leaside Bridge has seen an increase in suicide deaths. Although costly, these barriers can be effective. Ward 26 councillor-elect Jon Burnside admitted there is a history of people jumping off the bridge. “I would be in favour of a barrier if it does prove to reduce suicide among youth,” Burnside said. “Suicide and mental illness are often neglected by society and something needs to be done to bring those issues forward.” The Singh family believes if there was some sort of intervention – whether it was a barrier or a timely word from

someone – perhaps it would have been enough to deter Jasun from taking that fateful step. Raimundo, who has lived through feelings of suicide and is a survivor of a suicide attempt, recognizes the change needed in society. “We need to make it less stigmatizing and judge people less if they are suffering,” she said. “This way more people can feel comfortable about coming out with their feelings and don’t feel like they are letting their family or friends down.” And for the Singhs, they are hoping to raise awareness about suicide prevention. “It is the bottling up of whatever pains that they might have that causes this point of no return in their own minds,” Gulshan said, something he has recently learned. “Talking to people absolutely helps. There is help out there.”

Council’s new priorities include transit and working together

Write us

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

The newest game for the hockey crowd: Who wants to be a goaltender?

t’s just a few months into the minor hockey season and out of nowhere my buddy Leo’s seven-year old son Kyle suddenly surprised him with the news that he had decided to switch from being a forward to becoming a goalie. A former goalie himself, Leo was delighted. So they loaded up on all the new gear on the weekend. While Leo was helping him put it on in the basement for the very first time, Kyle’s mom Terry stood at the top of the steps and called down to find out how he was doing. Mom: “So? Let’s have it, Junior. I’m waiting on pins and needles for an update.” Son: “Come on, Mom. You know better than that. You don’t sit on knitting. It’s supposed to be on your lap. How many times have I told

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY you that?” Mom: “Stop, my stitches. Just get back to the important matter at hand. How’s it going on down there?” Son: “Well, I‘ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?” Mom: “Neither, thanks. If it’s all the same to you.” Son: “Come on, Mom. You have to pick one or the other. You know the rules.” Mom: “ Where is that written?” Son: “The clock’s ticking.” Mom: “What are the choices again?” Son: You have until the count of three: 1, 2, ...” Mom: “ Good news or bad news, eh? That’s really tough, you know.”

Son: “Mommmmm? Mom: “I was just messing with you. Don‘t get your little shorts in a knot. Well, just to be on the safe side, I think I‘d better use up my a lifeline and take the 50/50.” Son: “I hate to break it you Mom, but Dad’s shaking his head. He says they got rid of the 50/50 in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire a long time ago.” Mom. “So I‘ll just have to phone a friend, then. Be a lamb and call your Auntie Carol. Make sure to call collect, too. Give her a taste of her own medicine.” Son: “Dad says the phone a friend thing is gone, too. Nice try.” Mom: “So, I guess that leaves me no alternative but to ask the audience. Can I still do that?” Son: “Yeah, he says. That’s still around. Trouble is we’re the only ones down

here. There’s no audience. Community cable wouldn’t pick this up. He tried.” Mom: “Ok. Ok. You win. I give up. I’ll pick one. Give me the good news first, I guess.” Son: “You’re sure, now?” Mom: Positive.” Son: “Is that your final answer?” Mom: “Final answer.” Son: “Terrific. The good news is that I finally got all my goalie equipment on.” Mom: “Wow. And to think it only took a measly one hour and 45 minutes, too. I‘m so proud of you. But, enough stalling. Don’t keep me in suspense. So, what‘s the bad news?” Son: “I can‘t move.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. This is a guest column.

MARY

I have been a carrier for sixteen years this August. I like to thank Geoff for signing me up in 1998. I really enjoy this job but I had to give up the job three years ago for three months due to an illness. When I was well enough I immediately phoned my district representative and asked if I could have my route back. I had really missed getting the papers and flyers ready for the streets as well as being outside walking and delivering the papers. I also missed seeing and talking to the home owners; a few of them became friends while I was delivering in the past. I like to thank the East York Mirror and Metroland for having me as a carrier.

Remember the elderly during the holiday season CCAC can assist in coordinating care for seniors during the holidays With the Holiday season in full swing, many of us are in planning mode. Whether it’s making preparations for outof-town visitors, meal-planning for a celebratory feast or making a list and checking it twice, it’s a busy time of the year. Those of us who may wish to leave the chaos behind and take a tropical vacation over the holiday break are likely counting down the days to rest and relaxation. Others are looking forward to the seasonal festivities as well as some well-earned down time with family and friends. During this time of the year, it’s easy for many of us to forget that there are many in our community who may not have the family or social circles that much of the population enjoys. This is particularly the case for seniors, many of who may have lost a spouse, or who may be living alone at home, in a senior’s residence or a long-term care facility. It’s been a well-known fact that the holiday season, while festive for many, can trigger

feelings of depression, and this is often acutely the case with the elderly. Without some of the personal supports that many of us take for granted, this time of year can seem bleak. The holiday season is a good time to take stock of our lives and to reach out and help those who may need support. If you have a senior friend, neighbor or loved one, this time of year provides an opportunity to provide a helping hand. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provides a variety of supports and resources for seniors. Following are some suggested activities from the CCAC to help the elderly during this time of year. 1) Check-In: Often, a simple phone call or visit to an elderly neighbours or loved one can make the difference in their mood. It will also provide them with the knowledge that they are cared for and are important to those around them. 2) Community Resources: Does your elderly loved one know about some of the community resources available to them? Whether it’s a day program or seniors group, these types of options are appreciated by those who may be alone

during this time of year. By visiting www.TorontoCentralHealthline.ca, friends and family members of seniors can find local, specific information about various community supports that are of interest to seniors. 3) Referral For Support: At any given time, anyone can make a referral on behalf of another to the CCAC. Whether you’re a friend, family member or neighbour and are concerned about an elderly person in your life, you can call (416) 506-9888 for help and guidance. Referrals can also be made anonymously on behalf of someone in need of help as well. 4) Respite Care: If you choose to go away during the holiday season and are concerned about an elderly loved one or friend, the Toronto Central CCAC can assist with coordinating the details of shortterm respite care. Because it’s a busy time of the year, bookings fill up quickly so call early for information and to make arrangements. For more information about supports and community services contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888 or visit www. healthcareathome.ca

An excavator joins the search Friday afternoon for the resident of a Withrow Avenue home that burned down earlier in the day. The body of the 81-year-old woman who lived in the house was recovered Friday afternoon.

Elderly woman dies in house fire ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com An autopsy performed on the weekend has reportedly confirmed that smoke inhalation was the cause of an elderly woman’s death after her Riverdale home caught fire and collapsed Friday. The woman’s body was recovered in the rubble at about 2 p.m., nearly 10 hours after the fire erupted. Area residents identified the victim as Angela, who they say lived by herself in the two-storey house on Withrow Avenue east of Pape Avenue. Kyle Haccius ran to the scene when he heard someone calling for help around 4:20 a.m. “There was this kind of orange blaze,” he said. “So I immediately got on the phone and

called 911.” The occupants of the house next door, a family of three, were already outside. “There was an older mom and father and then there was a younger gentleman. It was easy to pick out the one lady in a bright red housecoat and the two guys in underwear and barefoot in the snow,” Haccius said. “You could tell that they had gotten out rather quickly. They didn’t have time to get dressed or call 911.” Haccius said he saw “jets of flame” coming out of the window, the door and the sides of the burning home. “After that it had moved up to the second floor and then it was really billowing out the attic window, and then it collapsed.” The fire marshal’s office continues to investigate the cause of the three-alarm blaze.

Investigation of Basement Flooding – Study Area 2 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Notice of Completion The City of Toronto has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to address basement and surface flooding in the area shown on the map. The objective of the study is to provide recommendations to reduce the risk of future flooding during severe storm events. The City has accepted the consultant’s recommendations to help reduce the risk of future flooding in the study area, which include: • Upgrading or replacing storm and sanitary sewers at select locations. • Installing new storm sewers or in-line storm storage pipes at select locations. • Installing catchbasin inlet control devices at certain locations to regulate surface flows into the storm sewer. • Installing additional catchbasins at locations with excessive surface ponding. • Sealing (e.g. plug) sanitary sewer maintenance hole covers in select low-lying areas to reduce surface flows into the sanitary sewer. • Continuing to promote source control measures which help to manage stormwater where it originates (e.g. roofs, driveways, roads, etc). Opportunities for Review The study was carried out following the requirements of “Schedule B” projects under the Municipal Class EA. A Project File has been completed and has been placed on public record for a 30-day review period starting November 20, 2014 and ending on December 19, 2014. The Project File is available for review at: Leaside Library 165 McRae Dr. 416-396-3835

If you have any outstanding issues with the project, please address them to the City staff listed below and we will attempt to seek a mutually acceptable resolution. If concerns regarding the project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City of Toronto, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments.

Tory’s inaugural won’t revisit 2010 In a few days, the wait will be over and Toronto Council will get going on its new agenda. Well, it will get going on that agenda soon enough. First off, there will be celebration, as the newly elected council and mayor join friends, family and senior city bureaucrats to ring in the new term in style, at the inaugural meeting. There will also be music – if past experience is any indication, a bagpiper or two will be involved – and speeches. One thing there probably won’t be this time out is Don Cherry, decked out in a hot pink suit-jacket with a Rob-Ford-sized chip on his shoulder, hollering at “pinkos” who he insisted were no longer in charge. That was how it went at the 2010 inauguration, as you almost certainly remember: Cherry railing, Ford grinning, almost everyone else gasping at the audacity of it. The only thing missing from that Animal House inaugural was a keg of cheap beer and John Belushi spraying

david nickle the city mashed potatoes over the front row of dignitaries. You’re not likely to see that particular show repeated in John Tory’s inaugural. Given all the evidence, that’s far more likely to have more the flavour of a Omega Theta Pi mixer than a Delta Tau Chi toga party. Which is to say, the show will be a pleasant but rather dull introduction to the mayor that Torontonians believed they elected: avuncular, cordial and managerial, with a mission to keep council meetings calm and services as they are. A justso mayor. By the time that meeting happens, we will all hopefully have a somewhat clearer idea of how that’s going to go. As of Nov. 25, when this column went to press, Tory and his transition team still had not determined who would fill out the inner circle of his executive

committee, or stand at his side as deputy mayor, or as the mayor’s pick for highprofile jobs like the chair of the Toronto Transit Commission. There was not even any indication as to what the mayor might make a priority at his first council meeting. It would make sense for him to bring his Smart Track plan to council early for at least a set of report requests, Tory has been mum on his plans other than to say that he wants something to happen to relieve congestion by early 2015. Toward that end, last week Tory came out with a bizarre pseudoendorsement of the Uber ride-sharing app and a qualified endorsement of a city staff-driven plan to squeeze a few feet from the width of motor vehicle lanes across the city. But generally, the new mayor is playing his cards close to the vest. The pinkos, at least for now, remain on their toes.

LOCAL For Ward 31 Councillor Janet Davis (Beaches-East York), there are many areas that need attention during the upcoming term. Davis, now entering her fourth term at City Hall, said she is looking forward to tackling issues that are important to the community. Five priorities for Davis are: 1. Improving access to affordable childcare and after-school programs. Davis said there are not enough services available for families and the ones that do exist are financially out of reach for a lot of people in her ward. 2. The revitalization of Danforth Avenue, east of Coxwell Avenue. Attracting small businesses back and bringing vitality to the area is important, Davis said. She and the Danforth East Community Association (DECA) are working together to find ways to improve the area and attract businesses and artists. Recently, sidewalks have been replaced and streetscaping completed. 3. Creating jobs for youth. Davis said the city has an economic and employment strategy to help connect employers to job seekers, especially at the local level. “Young people need to work and I can bring the resources of the city to assist residents in our community,” she said. 4. Making sure apartment buildings get the attention they need. Many landlords have neglected their properties and Davis said she wants to make sure tenant’s concerns are resolved and their rights addressed. Davis said she also wants to improve how landlords are regulated. 5. Repair and replace water infrastructure in the ward to prevent basement flooding, stop pipe and road breaks and eliminate sewer overflows into Taylor Creek. An environmental assessment has been completed, but Davis said she will need to secure funding to make the necessary repairs.
