Burnside ready to roll as new councillor Challenger knocks off incumbent John Parker in Ward 26

The fourth annual Spooktacular Costume and Display Contest hosted by Donna Lee, local realtor with Royal Lepage Signature Realty, takes place Halloween night. The event takes place this Friday in The Pocket neighbourhood, in the area southeast of Jones and Danforth avenues, and will be centred on Ravina Crescent.

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com It wasn’t the result he wanted, but John Parker said he’s accepted the verdict of Ward 26 Don Valley West voters who handed him a surprising election loss earlier this week. “The job of any elected position is a gift from the voters, and the voters have the prerogative to take it away when they see fit to do so,” said Parker reflecting on the result, a day after losing his seat as councillor of Ward 26 to challenger Jon Burnside. “I understand the rules of the game, and I accept the position of the voters.” Parker was the only incumbent to lose in Toronto’s municipal election, finishing with 3,200 votes less than Burnside in a rematch of the 2010 election. Ishrath Velshi, Parker’s former executive assistant, finished third with 3,055 votes. David Sparrow, Wasim Vania and Dimitre Popov also ran. Parker blamed “political spin” for sustained criticism from opponents during the election >>>BURNSIDE, page 8

TORONTO VOTES

Fragedakis hopeful Tory can build council consensus Ward 29 incumbent re-elected to second term mark A. cadiz mcadiz@insidetoronto.com After four years of serving Ward 29 Toronto-Danforth, Mary Fragedakis is back for another term having been re-elected Monday night and she said she’s looking forward to working with mayor-elect John Tory. Fragedakis, who was able to get work done under Mayor Rob Ford’s administration, is looking at the new mayor in a positive light. “I’m optimistic. It’s a new term, we have a new mayor, and with John Tory I would like to get more things done at city hall,” she said.

Electrifying GO tracks Fragedakis said she believes Tory will build consensus with council members to ensure city hall works. Aside from their partisan alliances, Fragedakis does support the electrification of GO Transit tracks, which Tory has also been advocating for under his SmartTrack plan. “It’s not about partisan politics, it’s about the issues, and transit is huge for me, she said. “We have to look into the short-term and mediumterm plans for transit, and also the long-term plans, but we cannot sacrifice the first two for the overall long-term vision that’s 20 years away.” Fragedakis notched 11,904 votes Monday night, doubling second-place finisher Dave Andre, who had 4,950 votes

giving her a strong mandate. Fragedakis was first elected in 2010 as her left-centre politics appealed to the residents then, taking in 41 per cent of the vote with 7,430 votes. Six candidates Over her campaign this year she was accompanied by a number of new would-be councillor candidates. A total of six were running for a city seat including Fragedakis, Andre, John Papadakis, Ricardo Francis, Jimmy Vlachos and Hank Martyn.

Andre, a first-time candidate, gathered a strong base for his campaign and was endorsed by former city councillor Case Ootes and Beaches-East York Liberal MPP Arthur Potts. “We got almost 5,000 votes and that’s a significant group of people in our community that had confidence in the message that we put forward in our campaign, I’m proud of that,” Andre said. Third place in Monday night’s election went to Papadakis with 2,000 votes.

For a story on the race in Ward 30 Toronto-Danforth, please see Page 9.

There was a sense of relief yesterday at the Janet Davis camp. Coming off a dominating victory in Ward 31, BeachesEast York, Davis was looking forward to new leadership at city hall. “I am hopeful that there will be at least a new sense of decorum and a new way of working together at city hall that has been lacking in the last four years,” she said. “I don’t really know what the priorities are for Mr. Tory, but only time will tell.” Davis, a strong supporter of Olivia Chow, is worried about mayor-elect John Tory’s agenda, especially on transit. “I don’t support his transit plan. I think it will slow down the expansion of transit in this city,” she said. “I hope we can get back on track with the LRT plan and use the 1.2 billion dollars that we are going to spend on subway stations to invest in

other transit priorities.” Davis recorded more than 61.7 per cent of the vote to easily fend off her eight challengers for the seat. “The last eight weeks of the campaign have been really exciting and it is very reassuring to go to the door and find out that people are very appreciative of the work we have done,” she said. Held firm “We held firm against the cuts to our libraries, our community centres and we have protected the things our community values.” Campaigning on improving roads, public spaces and creating affordable family services, Davis has also jumpstarted the revitalization of the Danforth, east of Coxwell Avenue. Although challengers say action has been slow at best as retail spaces have stayed empty for far too long, Davis said she is committed to working with local groups such as the Danforth East

Community Association to get things done. Davis characterized to be on the left side of the political spectrum was first elected in 2003 has dominated in each election afterward. In the 2010 election, it was no different as Davis grabbed 63 per cent of the vote. The second-place candidate achieved only 11 per cent. This year Davis was challenged by Brenda MacDonald, George Papadakis, Stephen Prince, Russell Rahman, Janet Sherbanowski, Bob Smith, Michael Sokovnin and Mark Turnbull. The large vote spread made it hard for any candidate to make serious gains against Davis. The nearest candidate, George Papadakis, a complete surprise in the race, took second place with 14.7 per cent of the vote. “I feel really satisfied. It was my first time running for public office,” Papadakis said. “For me it was a success.”

Tory has small window to establish credibility as mayor

Write us

ayor-elect John Tory must quickly prove he’s a wise choice. More than 60 per cent of eligible Torontonians went to the polls on Monday and elected Tory by a six-per-cent-margin over rival Doug Ford. This signals at least a temporary end to the Ford reign in Toronto, but it wasn’t enough of a victory to suggest Torontonians have denounced any Fordian influence. In fact, 36 of 37 incumbent council members were re-elected, suggesting Torontonians are happy with their representation at a neighborhood level – there’s just a different expectation of the person seated in the mayor’s chair. Tory must achieve significantly better results working with the same councillors who set a dysfunctional tone of civic government during the past four years. Tory has a small window our view to establish his credibility. So see him build some quick Time to build let’s consensus on SmartTrack or a consensus on similar transit plan, and convince various levels of government and transit potential other funding agencies that the plan will stick and it is the will of Torontonians. Tory must quickly prove he has the ear and the interest of both provincial and federal governments. We’d like to see quick signs from the province and the federal government that Toronto’s future issues are a priority befitting the economic engine of the province and there’s no trepidation dealing – and believing in – the new administration. Tory has been given the keys to the city. If he can unlock the door and present a bright future, Toronto will reach its potential as a place to live and grow, with smart plans for development catching the eyes of a global marketplace. If he doesn’t, there’s an alternate view in the brothers Ford, who still hold influence in city politics and will be quick to point out any Tory misstep. Forgive us for breaking into a baseball analogy: Two years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays brought some fresh all-star faces to their lineup, building anticipation of great things to come. It took only a limited number of games to realize that team was not going to be a winner, despite all the promise. Toronto can’t afford to fail. We will see what happens next. But we need to see it quickly.

Welcome John Tory as Toronto’s new mayor Well, now we start a new era on Toronto council with a new mayor and a new mandate to move forward. Congratulations to our new mayor-elect, John Tory, for having fought a long, hard and clean election with class. Hopefully, now the City of Toronto can move from being the laughing stock of the world’s municipalities to returning to its former status of the city that works. I’d also like to congratulate our two East York incumbent councillors – Mary Fragedakis (Ward 29, Toronto-Danforth) and Janet Davis (Ward 31, Beaches–East York) who are returning to us. Both have shown they are strong representatives for their constituents and that was definitely reflected in the number of votes they received. Unfortunately, John Parker’s (Ward 26, Don Valley West) term in office has come to an end and I wish to thank him for his

joe cooper watchdog contributions. Though I didn’t agree with Parker’s positions, particularly on amalgamation, I certainly respected him as a person and for his personal integrity when it came to holding a point of view. New representative We now have a new representative, Jon Burnside, a former police officer and businessman, who will now be representing the area, and I look forward to getting to know him. Beyond the cast of characters, we are still facing the cold hard facts of what’s next? I can say one thing, and that is Tory looked me directly in the eye and made me promise him I would keep him honest.

“

I can say one thing, and that is Tory looked me directly in the eye and made me promise him I would keep him honest.

It’s my job, Tory said, to ensure he keeps his campaign promises and ensures what he promised for East York is carried out. That in itself says a great deal about Tory and what he hopes to accomplish as mayor. As we know, Tory has not had a great deal of success in getting elected to office in the past so this is going to be a true test of the man’s abilities on many levels. Will Tory be able to create the bridges he has promised he wishes to build and will others work with him as he hopes? Will he be able to run city hall in as idealistic a manner as he has promised

or will the realities of the multiple vested interests come crashing down upon his plans? What about the disruptive influence of Mayor Rob Ford, who promises to be Tory’s “official opposition”? Will Tory be able to initiate his above-ground rail plan as well as other transportation solutions we desperately need? The reality is that Tory is inheriting a city that is partially in a mess thanks to Ford and that will need to be straightened out first. No matter what, I certainly wish Tory all the best in his new position as mayor and I hope our city council chooses to work with him and not against him. As Tory says, we need to go neither to the left nor to the right, but forward once again. Joe Cooper is a long-time East York resident and community activist. His column appears every Thursday.

Tory has his work cut out for him It has been a long wait, a really long wait, for everyone involved. For John Tory, Monday night’s victory in the hardfought 2014 mayoral election must be like a glass of water after a walk in the desert: finally, a win for a politician who has gamely put his name forward for office so many times, and so many times missed out. And for Toronto, it is a different kind of relief. The pillow, finally removed from our collective face, while improbably there is still breath left in our lungs. The Ford years are done, at least for now. The city government can turn away from what was understatedly called the “distraction” of the Ford brothers. And the Tory years, whatever they may become, have begun. They will contain challenges, but those challenges are not so great as that. Tory has made much of a need to unite Toronto Council. It is unlikely he will have much difficulty in doing so. Over the past year council had a crash project up for transit award wLRT Metrolinx’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT project is in the running for a prestigious transit infrastructure award to be handed out this week. The Crosstown is one of five North American project plans nominated for Strategic Project of the Year to be announced during this year’s CG/LA Infrastructure Forum in Washington, D.C. A press release for the event states the award is given to the project with the highest potential to create a “quantum leap” when it comes to improving a region or county’s productivity. The forum, which will be attended by such luminaries as U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, takes place Oct. 28 to 30. Visit www.cg-la. com explainer video on priority seating wTTC

david nickle the city course in uniting itself and maintaining a relatively calm demeanour as it goes about the business of government. His bigger challenge, as he alluded to in his speech Monday night, will be in uniting Toronto – or more to the point, keeping united those voters who gave him a chance to govern. It is a definitive mandate, but not an unequivocal one as many voters who might have supported Olivia Chow’s unabashedly progressive mayoralty moved to Tory’s side for fear of a Doug Ford mayoralty. So it is not likely the whole of Tory’s support feels, for instance, that SmartTrack and the Scarborough subway are the best way to do transit. As those two things formed the centrepiece of Tory’s campaign it is unlikely he will abandon them, and he shouldn’t: a promise is a promise.

But as TTC CEO Andy Byford says in the video, while TTC vehicle operators can ask an able-bodied rider to vacate a priority seat they can’t force anyone from doing so.

But he would do well to embrace elements of Chow’s platform as regards to housing, and perhaps childcare. He hinted in his speech that Chow might yet have a role in the work of the city. Tory will also have to consider the many people who did not support him, but voted for the Ford brand in spite of everything. That is a sizeable portion of the city that rejected both him and any sense of progressive value. Politically at least, Tory will have need to reach out in that direction. One way he might do so is heed what seems to be a growing coalition of Scarborough councillors, and move to kill the remaining LRT lines on Sheppard and Finch. He’ll certainly feel the pressure to do so, even though he is on record supporting the lines. And that will be the hard thing for Tory: reigning in this new, strong council when it gets an idea in its head.

The Gentlemen’s Expo will appeal to the modern man mark a. cadiz mcadiz@insidetoronto.com The Gentlemen’s Expo will open its doors to the gentlemen and gentlewomen of the city at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Nov. 14 to 16. Entering its second year, the expo has broadened its vision of manliness to a more refined status. Co-founder Settimio Coscarella thinks the time is right for a show that appeals to today’s modern man. “In the last 10 years men’s tastes have definitely changed,” Coscarella said. “We wanted to create a show that provides content that guys could be proud of, putting together the best ensemble of brands and experiences we can so the guys of Toronto could have a show to call their own.” T h e e x p o, o f w h i c h insidetoronto.com is the

With a solid background in home design, custom furniture design and fabrication, Damon Snider has identified a niche market for his services. He falls into the modern category himself, and his company Dude Living Refined is a business that specializes in interior design for men. “I focus on refining a guy’s space with masculine flair which are women-approved,” Snider said. “You want the designer to reflect your character.” Snider said his design services appeal to men entering their late 20s and early 30s who go out less and prefer to entertain their friends and family at home instead.

Burnside promises to McMahon wins second term in Ward 32 engage communities JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

>>>from page 1 campaign that he was an aloof councillor out of touch with community concerns. Parker said he paid close attention to local interests including saving the historic Pease Foundry Company Building in Leaside from demolition, which he said played an enormous role in revitalizing Laird Drive. “That was the first in a number of steps in converting Laird from an embarrassing back alley into a major local street of pride and dignity, and I suspect that trajectory will continue in the future,” he said.

Endorsement Burnside was endorsed by mayor-elect John Tory, who canvassed alongside the former police officer around Thorncliffe Park just a day before the election. Burnside promised to look after the interests of all Ward 26 residents and listed local traffic congestion and development as key concerns. “I have the mandate, but I also have the obligation. I promised I would get to

work on doing what I can to address the issues of the community. “Traffic is absolutely the number one concern and development is part and parcel of that,” said Burnside following his victory. Burnside also promised to engage with Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park residents at the south end of the ward, who complained about a lack of representation of their interests while Parker was in power. “There are a lot of wonderful people with amazing qualifications, but we need to get the resources which are available to them,” he said. Burnside also promised to support Tory and his SmartTrack transit plan, of which he said he was a “big believer”. “I was talking about that general concept four years ago because I knew there are a lot of existing under-utilized rail lines. It just seems like the sensible thing to do,” he said. Parker also wished Tory – whom he endorsed for mayor – well in the upcoming term.

Ward 32 Beaches-East York incumbent Mary-Margaret McMahon, who was re-elected for a second term Monday is proud of her team for taking the high road and coming out on top. “It was a nasty (Ward 32) campaign, but we ran a positive one. We’re thrilled of our track record over the last four years and we’re thrilled with the (election) results,” she said from her election night party at The Grover Pub & Grub on Kingston Road in the Upper Beach. “We worked hard. We rose above the fray.” Working with John Tory McMahon said she’s looking forward to working with Toronto’s new mayor, John Tory. “It’s going to be great to have a leader, someone that is willing to work with everyone and have a vision to lead,” she said. An advocate for two-term limits for city councillors, McMahon said she’s excited to be heading back to city hall for her second and final term. “We’re absolutely walking on a cloud,” she said. “It’s euphoric. It’s fantastic. I’m so honoured, appreciative, humbled and thrilled.” McMahon defeated former BeachesEast York councillor Sandra Bussin for the second time. In the 2010 municipal election, McMahon won the Beaches-East York

seat by almost 10,000 votes. This time around, McMahon earned 15,762 votes, while second-place finisher Bussin finished with 4,552. Bussin, who represented Beaches-East York for 22 years as a school trustee and then as a city councillor, joined the race in early September. A realtor, Bussin did not respond to The Mirror’s request for comment by press time. Brian Graff, who has been involved in community issues for some time notably the development of the Lick’s Homeburgers site at Queen Street East and Kenilworth Avenue, placed third

with 1,922 votes. Home to many of Toronto’s most desirable neighbourhoods, Ward 32 is facing a number of local struggles including the challenge of maintaining the area’s unique character while striving for appropriate new development. James Sears, Eric de Boer, Carmel Suttor, Alan Burke, Maria Garcia, Michael Connor, Sean Dawson, Bruce Baker and Jim Brookman also ran for the Ward 32 Beaches-East York seat.

Incumbent Fletcher withstands strong challenge in Ward 30 JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

Ward 30 (Toronto-Danforth) turned out not to be as close a race as some pundits had predicted, given its three high-profile candidates – incumbent Paula Fletcher, journalist Jane Farrow and broadcaster Liz West. In the end, Fletcher was sent back to city hall with 49 per cent of the vote, beating West. “I’m just so thrilled and honoured to have been reelected in Ward 30 with such a strong mandate.” Up early Tuesday removing election signs before meeting with Deputy City Manager Brenda Patterson and the board members of the Red Door Family Shelter, Fletcher said she’d continue working in the community, defending the waterfront and ensuring development fits with the neighbourhood, among other things. She’s also looking forward to working with rookie mayor John Tory.

“I’m very committed to having the most positive atmosphere possible at city hall. “ We n e e d t o re s t o re Toronto’s reputation as being an open, inclusive and caring city,” she said, adding she hopes Tory will surround himself with “highly competent, professional and smart” staff to help him navigate city hall. In 2010, second-place finisher West lost by just 259 votes. This time around, she was defeated by 5,280 votes. “I had a great team of people supporting me. We acted with integrity in this election so I am proud of that,” West said Monday night. Farrow, a one-time executive assistant to Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon and Jane’s Walk founder, finished in third place with 4,815 votes (20 per cent). “The election campaign was eye-opening and fantastic. I was so proud to be a

part of a movement of nonincumbent progressives who opened up the debate in this city and drew attention to issues of inclusivity and diversity,” Farrow wrote in an email to The Mirror Tuesday, Oct. 28.

also ran for the seat. A thriving area with a diverse population, Ward 30 has faced a slew of recent development proposals as Toronto-Danforth continues its rapid transformation from

a former industrial area to new condominiums. With the construction of the Leslie Barns light rail vehicle storage and maintenance facility, those living in Ward 30 have also been

facing several months of treacherous construction and the road safety concerns that come along with the work.

Respectful “I’m grateful to Paula Fletcher and Liz West, who ran respectful campaigns in their own right and who broadened the debate in out community in their own right.” Farrow went on to say that she’s “emboldened by how much enthusiasm and support our campaign found in Ward 30, by how active our community is and by how the people in our neighbourhoods clearly want to play a bigger role at city hall.” “Talking to voters has been the greatest thing about running for office, and everything I learned from them will stay with me in the years to come,” she said.

Former Toronto-Danforth councillor and deputy mayor Case Ootes is back at City Hall, managing the transition between Mayor Rob Ford and mayor-elect John Tory over the next month. Ootes, who served as deputy mayor under former mayor Mel Lastman, provided a similar service for Rob Ford as he took over in 2010. This time, Ootes will be overseeing two committees: a smaller group that will deal with the administrative handover, and a larger advisory committee that will look after three recommendations on three key areas of Tory’s agenda: transportation and SmartTrack, gridlock and housing. “This is for the purpose of seeking input from a wide group of citizens, from three groups of issues – they’ll be meeting over the next few 1/4 PAGE OCT AD MASTER MECHANIC 5.00000 x 80 R0012969969; 4C Rep:6514

39 Steps a unique theatre experience MARIA TZAVARAS eym@insidetoronto.com If you want to see the most unique and spectacularly wacky theatre production ever, you must see East Side Players opening show of the season, The 39 Steps. Written by Patrick Barlow, this show’s plot seems like a typical spythriller, but it’s how the story is told that makes it stand out. Based on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movie, the show’s style is Indiana Jones meets Charlie Chaplin. Set in London, England, and Scotland in 1935, the show begins with Richard Hannay (Stephen Carrette) lamenting how boring his life is, so he decides to go to the theatre. There he meets an English agent named Annabella (Kristie Paille), who asks to hide at his apartment because two spies are after her. He doesn’t exactly believe her until later when she stumbles toward him with a knife in her back. Before she dies, she explains there is an international security secret threatening to put Britain in danger and he must stop the agents who are planning to do so. This means he must find a man with half a finger, the 39 Steps and a house in Scotland. So before the cops come to arrest him for murder, Richard goes on the run and decides to go to Scotland to fulfill Annabella’s dying wish while trying to clear his name. The quest takes him through several settings including a train, a cottage, the Scottish countryside, several homes and a sheriff’s office, to name a few. He meets a colourful cast of characters along the way, all played by two actors – Daryn DeWalt and Jacob Hogan. Combined, they play about 150 characters, including policemen, veterans, spies, bagpipe players, wives and more.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

This is accomplished by several costume and prop changes that is dizzying to keep up with. Paille also plays Pamela, who ends up unwillingly helping Richard on his quest, and Margaret, the wife of one of the many characters Richard meets along the way. This is a hilarious, satirical, fast-paced adventure story, and to watch the action and these two actors change costumes and characters so quickly (sometimes they are in three roles in a single scene) is nothing short of amazing. It’s also something that provides constant humour throughout, and keeps the audience laughing at their quick, role-changing shenanigans. Adding to DeWalt’s and Hogan’s obvious talents is Carrette’s portrayal of manon-the-run, Richard. There are so many moments of absurd and silly sprinkled throughout what would be serious if this were not a comedy, and he never cracks, playing his role with humour and dedication, while being a likeable character. Paille does not disappoint, especially as the beautiful Pamela, who meets Richard on the train, outs him to the police, but then finds herself handcuffed and having to help the could-be murderer. She is funny and sweet and adds a nice side love story to this chaotic, crazy mess. There is a lot of creative use of props and effects in this show, and so, with some simple rolling wooden blocks, curtains and intense physical exertion by the four actors, we are transported into different scenes that include bagpipers in a parade, a herd of sheep, even airplanes overhead. This is truly a show you have to see to believe.

Road Sweeping Operation Toronto & East York District Transportation Services is getting ready to perform sweeping operations on the streets of Toronto & East York this fall.The purpose of the sweeping is to collect leaves that fall, naturally, onto the street. All streets will be swept on two occasions.The operation will continue until November 28, 2014.The map shows the area where the sweeping operation will take place. Please do not rake leaves onto the roadway or sidewalks from your property. City by-law officers will be enforcing the City of Toronto by-law that relates to the use of streets and sidewalks. Raking leaves onto the roadway is a by-law offence and could result in charges being laid. It is an offence to store, place or dispose of material, including fallen leaves in such a way that it may enter onto a street by any means, including wind or water. In addition, raking, blowing, placing or dumping leaves onto City property (sidewalk, roadway, catch basins, etc.,) can create dangerous conditions, cause flooding on the roadways or on property or cause accidents. Here’s how to put leaves out for collection: Use reusable containers (any rigid open-top container such as a garbage can, bushel basket, green plastic yard waste bin– no lids) or kraft paper yard waste bags. Put leaves at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled yard waste collection day. Check your collection calendar for your yard waste collection schedule and more helpful hints. Sorry, no plastic bags: The City does not collect leaves and yard waste in clear plastic bags or Halloween-themed plastic bags. (If you use these decorative bags, please empty the contents into one of the approved containers listed above before placing out for collection. Ways to reduce the amount of leaves you put at the curb for collection: Feed leaves to your backyard composter now, plus stockpile leaves to add as dry material during the winter.

Mayor-elect Tory ready to get down to business DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com John Tory spent his first day as Toronto’s mayor-elect gathering a stack of binders explaining his new roles – and talking with reporters as storm-clouds rolled over Nathan Phillips Square. “It’s when you sit down with the city manager and many others, you get seized of the responsibility you have,” said Tory Tuesday as he began a lengthy question-and-answer session with reporters the morning after voters asked him to be the successor to Mayor Rob Ford. “You know I feel a strong sense of public service that goes with being in this job. As you see the roster of issues out there, you understand its importance.”

Tory won’t take office for more than a month, but after taking a couple of days off, he will get down to the business of setting up his office, choosing his executive committee and ordering the agenda for the coming months. He also announced his Transition Team leader, former city councillor Case Ootes, who will be assembling other advisors and helping Tory hit the ground running when he’s sworn in Dec. 1. Ootes will be releasing a work plan for the Transition Team – which will be working out of temporary offices in city hall – this week. Tory insisted he had not spoken to any councillors as to their role in the new council. But Tory said he hopes his opponents in the election – Karen Stintz, Olivia Chow,

“

Voters want their elected officials to get down to work on the priorities that matter most to them... – John Tory

David Soknacki, Ari Goldkind and Doug Ford – will be able to take some role in fulfilling his agenda. And he said he hopes to be able to bring the city together throughout his mandate. “I think the one thing that I know more so than anything else is going to bring the city together is results,” he said. “If people see transit being built... jobs... their finances organized...they are going to have more confidence in one Toronto.” It was less than 24 hours

earlier that Tory won the mayoralty with more than 40 per cent of the vote. He was trailed by Councillor Doug Ford and former MP Olivia Chow, the one-time front-runner who finished a distant third. The evening seemed a closer race than many expected at times, as Tory and Ford seemed locked in a race with as little as 12,000 votes between them at one point and around 20,000 at various times. There was no nailbiting in the hall at the Liberty Grand when Tory emerged, following an upbeat, well-produced campaign video apparently made for the event. “Tonight, voters have sent a message that is abundantly clear,” Tory said. “Voters want

their elected officials to get down to work on the priorities that matter most to them... better transit, more jobs, an end to the gridlock that is choking our streets. And the electorate has spoken on one other issue: Torontononians want to see an end to the division that has paralyzed city hall in the last few years. And to all of that, I say: Toronto, I hear you. I hear you loud and clear.” Tory’s campaign began early in 2014, initially focusing on his own leadership credentials and a pledge to change the tone at city hall from the “circus” surrounding Mayor Ford’s drug abuse scandals. But he soon drew focus to an ambitious public transit initia-

tive, dubbed SmartTrack, that would use soon-to-be-electrified GO Train lines to provide frequent surface rail transit through Scarborough and the downtown to Etobicoke. The $8-billion plan’s financing plan – which would make use of tax increment financing on development that would result in nodes near the downtown core – drew fire from both Chow and Ford as too high-risk. Voters were unswayed, however, accepting Tory’s faith that the city’s economy and growth projections would ensure enough additional tax revenue to pay for the plan.

EAST YORK MIRROR | Thursday, October 30, 2014 |

If you’re looking for a scare this Halloween, there are plenty of places in the city to find one MARK A. CADIZ mcadiz@insidetoronto.com

Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor...

n the city’s 180-year history, Torontonians have encountered a myriad of unexplained phenomena. From the urban tales of Fort York to the Ghost of Glendon College, Toronto has amassed its fair share of paranormal activity. And with Halloween on Friday, The Mirror has decided to share seven eerie sites and ghostly accounts with its readers: 1) Queen’s Park Legislative Assembly of Ontario Known for its Richardsonian Romanesque style and light reddish facade, Ontario’s Legislative building, situated in central Toronto, a known site of unexplained phenomena. Before the building was constructed in 1886, a female asylum nicknamed the ‘University Lunatic Asylum’ due to its proximity to the University of Toronto, stood in its place. Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor, the ‘Maiden’ apparently holds her apron over her face; and a woman hanging from a hook has been sighted in the tunnels running beneath the building. 2) Fort York Fort York, one of the first British settlements in Toronto, was a deadly site during the War of 1812. Many invading Americans were killed by a massive explosion ignited by the fleeing British. It is said a mass grave was built for the dead, but no traces of it have been found. With such a long history, it’s no surprise that Fork York is one of the most haunted sites in the city, according to the sheer number of reports from visitors and staff. Numerous accounts have been reported about seeing a red-coated guard by the barracks and front entrance. Another popular story recounted by a staff member involves the Officer’s Quarters. One night while closing up, the staff member observed a light coming from the quarters. As he made his way toward the building, he said he could see figures gathered around a dining table. The closer he got to the building the fainter the apparitions became, and once there, any trace

suddenly fainted in the same spot.

of what he thought was a dinner gathering was gone. 3) Colborne Lodge Built in 1837, Colborne Lodge, situated in High Park, was home to John and Jemima Howard. Jemima died of cancer in 1877. In the early stages of her illness, Howard became extremely concerned about his wife’s behaviour and wanted to have her admitted to an asylum, but his request was denied. Eventually he confined her to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.

4) Old Finch Road Scarborough Old Finch Road in Scarborough is said to be a site of several haunted tales but the most notorious of them all is about a young lady who was murdered near the site and her body left in the Rouge River in the early 1980s. Ever since then the area is said to be haunted. The case remains unsolved. 5) Montgomery’s Inn Situated in Etobicoke, Montgomery’s Inn was built in 1830 by husband and wife Thomas and Margaret Montgomery. They ran the inn successfully for 25 years until Margaret’s

death in the mid-1850s. Since then, it has been converted to a community museum where there have been a number of unexplained occurrences reported. One tale circulating refers to a school trip involving a young girl. During the tour her teacher realized the girl was missing and went to find her. Apparently the girl said she couldn’t move, saying it was like someone was holding her dress. Eventually she managed to rejoin her classmates. Even stranger, years after the school trip, another member of the same family who visited Montgomery’s Inn is said to have

It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day. - The story of Colborne Lodge in High Park, and Jemima Howard (photo seen at left) who suffered the effects of cancer and was restricted to her room. File photo/IAN KELSO

6) Ghost of Glendon College Most York University students are familiar with the legend of the Ghost of Glendon College. Prior to its university status, Glendon was a residence for the Edward R. Wood family. The Wood family estate was entrusted to York University, and since then, many students living on the campus have reported apparitions of a lady wearing white wandering the garden. It is also said this same mysterious woman has appeared in photographs taken in the garden. Students speculate that maybe a woman from the Wood family has taken refuge on the grounds, most likely Wood’s wife Euphemia, who died in 1950. 7) The Old Don Jail The controversial old Don Jail, in the Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street area, was completed in 1864 and is a site infamously known for its 34 hangings. The Don Jail served as the holding point for both male and female prisoners and was the last site where executions took place in Canada after capital punishment was abolished. Over the years there have been tales of spirits occupying the premises. One tale circulating is about ‘The Lady of the Don,’ a former inmate from the 1890s who hung herself with bed sheets. Several guards have reported seeing an angry, ghostly figure with blond hair wandering the main rotunda area. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE HAUNT?
