Michael Novalski’s Grade 7 class at Transfiguration of Our Lord Catholic School recently held a mini film festival to showcase the stop motion films they created on cellphones.

Cellphones put to good use in this class CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For most seventh graders, the idea of teacher-endorsed cellphone use in the classroom is un-

fathomable - not so for Michael Novalski’s students at Transfiguration of Our Lord Catholic School.

In fact, the Etobicoke teacher encouraged his young charges to

make use of their mobile devices as much as possible recently for a special class project that culminated in a mini film festival earlier this month.

"Cellphones are normally ex-

tremely taboo in the classroom for obvious reasons, but this was one of the opportunities to showcase how they can sometimes be

COMMUNITY

Sixteen winners were recognized for work in their community FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Hero. A small word that has a big meaning.

Sixteen such people were honoured Thursday, Oct. 19 at the 2017 Urban Hero Awards gala, which celebrates community ’heroes’ for their inspiring work, leadership, and good deeds in Toronto.

Created by Metroland Media Toronto in 2009, which publishes the Mirror, Guardian, and Villager newspapers, this year saw 65 nominations submitted by the public in eight categories: Arts, Business, Education, Environment, Good Neighbour, Health, Social Issues, and Sports. Eight winners were selected by Metroland Media Toronto staff, and for the first time, the awards included a ’People’s Choice’ online voting round, which saw another eight nominees with the most votes across the categories declared People’s Choice winners.

Some 16,000 unique votes were cast.

Surrounded by supporters and well-wishers, each winner received a framed write-up, which resembled the front page of a newspaper, highlighting their accomplishments during a threecourse dinner at York Mills Gallery on Leslie Street, south of Hwy. 401.

"A hearty congratulations to the recipients," said Dana Robbins, pub-

Left, recipients of the 2017 Urban Hero Awards gather for one final hurrah following the ceremony at York Mills Gallery last Thursday Sixteen people/organizations were honored for their good deeds and impact made in their communities across Toronto. The categories included: Arts, Business, Environment, Education, Social Issues, Good Neighbour and Sports. Right, Sharon Nyarko was honoured in the category. She managed to take a picture with her award at the beginning of the evening, before having to sneak out to write a university exam. lisher of Metroland Media Toronto, noting each winner made a difference to the people in their neighbourhoods.

Dikema Etto doesn’t place much value on being an Urban Hero.

"Helping others, to me, gives me much joy," said the Good Neighbour category winner. "It’s better to give than to receive."

For the past eight years, the Scarborough resident has picked up and distributed food and care items twice a month to homeless people downtown through StreetFeed.

"They genuinely appreciate you coming out," Etto said. "There’s something special about it. It’s not being a hero. The whole phrase is meaningless. It’s about how can I improve your life and

make a positive change.

It’s about helping others feel awesome. You never know what impact you leave on others."

He also created A Fresh Start, a drive to distribute personal care items to Syrian refugees in Canada.

Used car dealership owner Nasser Rad and his staff were looking for ways to help people in need when his wife came up with an idea: why not give away cars to people who could otherwise not afford one?

Since the Care to Share program’s launch in 2015, North York based Autorama has given away 10 free cars.

Rad, who won the People’s Choice for Business, isn’t a stranger to hard times. He arrived in Cana-

da as a refugee from Iran 27 years ago with no money and only a drive to succeed in his pockets.

"You have to help people who are not fortunate in life," he said.

And if entrepreneurs are struggling to come up with ideas for their business, Rad offers a simple solution: "Ask your wife."

José Alberto Flores credits his mother for his resilience.

When he moved to Toronto from El Salvador 24 years ago, he spoke little English but was fortunate to have a strong support network of teachers who wanted him to succeed.

Now, the People’s Choice winner in Education and vice-principal of Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School and Re-

gional Arts Centre in Bloor West Village is paying it forward by focusing on student success.

"Life is not easy, there will be obstacles along the way," he said. "You have to keep moving forward."

In previous years, the Urban Hero Awards were held in Etobicoke, Scarborough, and North York.

This year, in conjunction with Canada 150 celebrations, the program was open to everyone in the city.

Sponsors of this year’s event were Canadian Tire, HealthyPlanet, Newad, Humber College Lakeshore Campus, Rajasri CPA, and Dr. Amanpreet Chopra.

HISTORY CORNER

DENISE HARRIS denise.harris@sympatico.ca In my last column, we talked about the pioneer family of Amasa Wilcox.

This week we will learn about the Musson family who lived in a more settled era which saw major changes in government.

Brothers Edward and Thomas Musson emigrated from England in 1820, settling on the west side of the Humber River at Weston where they owned a very successful tavern, distillery, brewery, and sawmill. In 1843, Edward moved to Islington with his wife, Ann Smart, and their eight children. He purchased 90 hectares of land, part from Amasa Wilcox and part from the clergy. He developed a very productive farm on land that today is the Islington Golf Course.

Edward now owned the store, mill and house on Burnhamthorpe that Amasa had built. By 1852,

Edward’s eldest son, Thomas, age 21, was managing the store. In 1855, Thomas married Elizabeth Thomas, and they lived in an apartment at the east end of the store.

When Islington got its first post office in 1860, it was located in this store with Thomas as postmaster.

By the 1850s, half of the Mimico Creek watershed had been cleared of its forest cover. As a result, the mill’s ability to generate power was decreasing.

Musson’s mill had a vertical blade, and locals joked that his saw was so slow, it went "up in the morning and down in the afternoon." By 1870, the mill was forced to close.

Baldwin’s Municipal Corporations Act of 1849 gave Upper Canadians the right to elect their own local government. Then, in 1867, four provinces united in Confederation.

These two events helped solidify citizen confidence

Montgomery’s Inn/photo

Thomas and Elizabeth Musson lived and operated the Islington Post Office in this house at 4884 Dundas St. W. from 1887 to 1906. This building still exists. in their new country. Edward was elected Reeve of Etobicoke from 1851 to 1858. He was also a director in the Etobicoke/ Mono 6th Line Plank Road Company which built a road along Burnham-

thorpe to the northwest.

In 1871, Edward built a new brick home for his retirement which still stands on the northeast corner of Burnhamthorpe and Kipling. He died the same year, with little time

to enjoy his retirement.

There were major delays in settling Edward’s extensive estate. Thomas owned the general store, but soon had three mortgages on it. His creditors foreclosed in 1886, and

sold the store. Thomas rented a house at 4886 Dundas St. W. that is a listed heritage property today. He operated the post office from that location, even after Edward’s estate was settled in 1895. Thomas died in 1899 and Elizabeth took over as postmistress until 1906. The post office moved back to the general store with owner John Dunn as postmaster.

Islington showed clear signs of progress during Musson’s era. By 1895, the village had a brick schoolhouse, two brick churches, a municipal hall, a library, one hotel, four stores and a CPR station.

The eastern half of the Musson’s property was sold in the 1890s to the Appleby family, whom you will meet in my next column.

ABOUT US

Ontario colleges at a crossroads The strike that hit Ontario’s 24 community colleges and cancelled classes for 230,000 full-time students is not your run-of-the-mill labour dispute.

Yes, there are two widely diverging and entrenched sides. But this particular labour dispute is extraordinary for one big reason. The 12,000 striking college professors, instructors, counsellors and librarians have an ambitious, far-reaching goal that goes far beyond wages and benefits. They want nothing less than to change the business model for the province’s community college system so there are more full-time professors with more power. Represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union, they’re calling for a drastic reduction in the percentage of part-time instructors at the colleges and an increase in the number of full-time teaching positions.

In recent years, colleges have increasingly turned to cheaper, part-time instructors to save money. The union says part-timers now make up 70 per cent of all college teachers and want that number reduced to no more than 50 per cent. The college’s bargainers - the College Employer Council - see things differently and makes its calculations based on the number of teaching hours, not the number of teachers. By their measure, half the teaching is already done by full-time professors. Only 30 per cent is done by contract instructors while part-time employees, who are also union members, account for a fifth of the teaching.

Whatever numbers you pick, the fact remains the union wants more full-time professors. And meeting its demands would carry a hefty price tag - $250 million more a year, according to the Employer Council.

Now the question for Ontario is not simply whether the strikers deserve what they want. It’s whether those demands will deliver a better education for college students and justify spending an additional $250 million more a year on them.

If the answer to those last two questions is "yes," someone has to figure out where to find the money. No one can expect tuition fee hikes to cover all or even most of that higher cost. Clearly, the provincial government read taxpayers - would have to contribute more. The province is far more generous in funding universities than colleges. Yet the distinction between the two has blurred. Colleges now grant degrees and their professors conduct research.

Meanwhile, in this era of new, disruptive technologies, when the very nature of Canada’s economy is in flux and the challenges facing young people trying to enter the workforce are huge, community colleges have a greater role in the education system.

College management can’t fix everything on its own.

Whatever happens in the current strike, the Ontario government needs to rethink the province’s colleges system and how it is supported.

Final year of council’s term to be quiet... by design At this time next year, Torontonians will have selected a new mayor, and a new city council.

A year is, or ought to be, a long time, a long enough time for a lot to happen.

But if I may make a prediction, by this time next year there is a good chance that not very much will happen at all, at least at Toronto City Hall.

There’s sure not much on the horizon.

In a term where council committed - and recommitted - billions of dollars to a one-stop subway line to Scarborough and the reconstruction of an elevated highway at the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway, dipped toe in the Rail Deck Park, another billion-dollar-plus project, and bravely tried -

DAVID NICKLE The City and failed - to implement road tolls to start paying for it all, the last year looks quiet.

Perhaps, indeed likely, this is by design. Mayor John Tory has made it clear that he’s aiming for a second term, and his 2014 second-place opponent Doug Ford has made public that he’s aiming to win that election for himself.

For Tory, now is no time

to take risks and pick potential fights.

Indeed, I’d bet that the mayor’s last big fight - and it won’t really be that big will come in his decision to back making the Bloor Street bike lane pilot project permanent when it comes to Toronto council next month.

If that goes smoothly, then the only other hurdle on the horizon will be the 2018 operating and capital budget, which if history is any indication, is always fraught in the making but reasonably acceptable in the finale.

And the mayor and council can get on with their shortened re-election campaigns, starting in May this year rather than the usual January.

If it’s to be a two-way

battle between Tory and Ford, keeping a low profile in 2018 is a good strategy.

Ford has ammunition to take on Tory, but there’s a finite amount of it and he tipped his hand with his early campaign launch.

To win, all Tory has to do is keep his head down, and keep it civil.

Combating child hunger one student at a time JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With roughly one in three Toronto kids living in poverty and 40 per cent coming the school hungry every day, it’s nearly impossible for far too many youngsters to be at their best throughout the school day.

Hunger is a serious problem that affects grades, behaviour and graduation rates, and with Toronto holding the dubious title of Canada’s child poverty capital two years running according to a study released last year by a group of social service agencies, the issue seems unlikely to abate.

There is some hope through programs such as the Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS), which provide meals through student nutrition programs to help all students start their school day on equal footing.

Abigail Taylor, a Grade 8 student at D A Morrison Middle School, noted that the program helps ensure she and her classmates are sure to start their day fed - something that might not be the case for far too many otherwise.

"Some people don’t eat breakfast, and (the nutrition program) has things like pancakes and oatmeal," she said. "It fills my stomach so I won’t have to wait for lunch. That helps me focus in class."

Fellow D A Morrison student Kiona Auld-Lewin uses the school’s breakfast program some days, when she wasn’t able to eat from home for whatever reason.

"You get more energy and you feel better the whole day in school," she said.

Student nutrition programs aren’t simply for kids whose families’ budgets are stretched. Some have parents who are pressed for time, work difficult hours or otherwise have trouble ensuring their kids have full stomachs before they walk out the door. All told, roughly 200,000 Toronto students partake in the more than

Students at Rose Avenue Junior Public School enjoy a healthy meal through a student nutrition program.

"It will help get rid of the stigma. And in such a diverse city, when you’re playing in the playground with someone you sat next to at breakfast that morning, you’ve already broken bread with them and you’re going to see new friendships."

– Sandra Best, TFSS 800 student nutrition programs city-wide.

Child hunger is a problem that has been addressed head-on by many other developed nations, where student nutrition programs are a fact of life.

"Canada is the only G7 country that doesn’t have a national child nutrition program," said Sandra Best of the TFSS. She argues that such programs should be present in all schools, not just those in less affluent neighbourhoods, and that all students should be encouraged to join.

"It will help get rid of the stigma," she said. "And in such a diverse city, when you’re playing in

the playground with someone you sat next to at breakfast that morning, you’ve already broken bread with them and you’re going to see new friendships."

Catherine Parsonage, executive director and CEO of the TFSS, noted there is a marked difference when kids start their days off with a healthy and nutritious breakfast every day. In elementary school, students can focus more.

According to studies conducted by the organization, that leads to a nine to 12 per cent increase in literacy, a 10 per cent increase in math scores, and a whopping 18 per cent increase in science marks.

"And then when you get to high

school, when children are fed every day, suspensions are cut in half and graduation rates go up 17 per cent," she said.

Behavioural problems also decrease as students are generally more content, and incidents with law enforcement go down.

More needs to be done to ensure all students enjoy those benefits, however. While a healthy breakfast provided through an inschool program only costs about $1.66 per student, the City of Toronto and the province only provide about 26 cents of that. Corporate and private donors contribute greatly to many student nutrition programs, but there is still a need for more funding.

"On average, students only have milk four times a month," Parsonage said.

She added that, of the 40 per cent of students who go to school hungry, 20 per cent don’t have lunch, either. Dinner too often consists of processed or fast food due to the fact that it tends to be cheaper and more convenient than healthier alternatives.

Programs such as Beyond 3:30,

which offers after-school cooking classes to students using healthy ingredients.

"They learn lessons they can take home - they can say ’here’s an onion, a carrot, a potato and a chicken breast. What can I make for three people with it?’" Parsonage said.

Mazon Canada is referred to as "the Jewish response to hunger" but provides funding for food programs serving all faiths. Jay Brodbar of Mazon said the importance of keeping kids fed goes beyond simply avoiding hunger pains.

"Hunger is a need in and of itself, but kids who eat can focus more on school, learn better and have more self-esteem," he said.

According to Divided City: Life in Canada’s Child Poverty Capital, a 2016 report by a coalition of social service agencies, 29 per cent of food bank users are children, and food bank use increased by 13 per cent from just 799,320 visits in 2008 to 905,970 visits in 2016.

Holiday food drive kicks off Stonegate Community Health Centre is looking to the local community for help in giving the gift of good food once again this holiday season.

Now in its eighth year, the aim of the Good Food Box Holiday Drive is to put nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables on the tables of the many residents in need in southeast Etobicoke’s Stonegate community where 28 per cent of families and 38 per cent of children are living in poverty.

Ex-Leaf, cop pal up for charity A Toronto police officer and a former Toronto Maple Leafs player recently harnessed the power of social media to donate more than $6,000 to the Etobicoke Humane Society.

Earlier this month, Const. Ryan Willmer, who works at 23 Division, issued a Twitter challenge: he’d donate 25 cents to EHS’s fifth annual Bowl-a-Thon Oct. 14 fundraiser for every retweet of his Tweet.

Tweets came fast and furious, including one from former Leafs player Jeff O’Neill, who offered to match Willmer’s donation.

Willmer’s tweet was retweeted 5,061 times, and shared on Facebook 7,600 times.

Willmer raised $3,165, matched by O’Neill, for a total donation of $6,330 to the shelter’s Oct. 14 Bowl-aThon, which raised more than $25,000 thanks to their contributions.

Festival highlights students work l Continued from page 3

beneficial," Novalski said of the class project, which saw each of his 25 Grade 7 students write, film, produce and edit a one-minute, stop-motion film on their cellphones.

"This project, I think, really shows how much potential youth have, especially when they’re given the tools and the opportunity to expand on certain things. It was new territory for them, but the final results showed that the use of familiar technology in the classroom not only assisted student learning, it also helped develop students’ self confidence."

While each student’s final film was unique - from 12-year-old Paul Inacio’s Lego-character driven tale about three friends defeating a monster in Atlantic Rim, to Sebastien Nazmi’s fable about a rebellious styrofoam fruit that gets lost in Lone Apple, to Jeena Tomlinson’s hand-drawn

tale about a special friendship in Ayana’s Friend: An Animated Story - Novalski said each film explored the theme of lost and found.

"What we did was look at some stories that deal with characters who go through a transformation," he said.

"They go from being lost via feeling unwelcome in their social or school situation, to going through some sort of transformation, to sort of resolving their lost feelings and then coming to acquire this new sense of identity and acceptance."

Aspiring artist Claudia Hernandez, 11, based her film Transformed on her personal experiences.

"It’s a story that kind of happened to me. When I was younger, I was always sad, but now that I’m older, it’s not so bad any more, because I just go more freely now," she said, noting that she based her main character, Debby Rona, on herself.

"In my movie, Debby just stops worrying about

what other people think, feels better, and makes new and better friends."

Once Hernandez and her classmates completed their films, they were tasked with uploading them to YouTube so that they could be screened for the entire class during a special film festival on Oct. 13.

The screening event also featured a guest appearance and performance by koto musician Jessica Stuart of The Jessica Stuart Few, whose video for the song Same Girl was filmed in Toronto over 150 hours this past spring and summer using the same - albeit more advanced - stop-motion techniques utilized by the students in their own films.

"I’m so excited to be here. I think it’s amazing that the kids have made their own stop-motion videos, and I’m impressed with Mike (Novalski) for bringing it to the curriculum," she said. "It’s an amazing opportunity."

Michael Majeski (left), his wife Summer and their dog Watson get set for Mimico Triangle’s Charity Halloween Yard Sale to benefit Reach for the Rainbow.

The City of Toronto holds public consultations as one way to engage residents in the life of their city. Toronto thrives on your great ideas and actions. We invite you to get involved.

City Wide Land Use Study:

Guidelines for Development in Proximity to Rail Operations Community Consultation The City Planning Division is conducting a Land Use Study to develop a series of rail corridor typologies that will lead to guidelines intended to assist and inform City Planning staff in the review of development applications on lands that are adjacent to rail corridors and yards.

The study is being conducted in two phases: Phase 1 was an inventory and information gathering phase with the objective to obtain a better understanding of what rail infrastructure exists in the city, the nature of rail operations, and to identify a series of potential rail infrastructure typologies.

Phase 2 uses the information from phase 1 to develop guidelines for development in proximity to rail infrastructure based on the identified typologies. A critical component of phase 2 will be consultation with rail operators, interested parties, partner divisions, and the public.

Each community consultation meeting runs from 7 to 9 p.m.: November 6: November 8:

Metro Hall, Room 308/309, 55 John St. Etobicoke Civic Centre, Council Chambers, 399 The West Mall November 16: North York Civic Centre, Council Chambers, 5100 Yonge St. November 21: Scarborough Civic Centre, Council Chambers, 150 Borough Dr.

insidetoronto.com

These meetings offer an opportunity to provide comments on the study to date, the proposed typologies, to ask questions of City Planning staff and provide your thoughts regarding rail safety and new development in the city. Feedback from these meetings will help inform City staff in the development of a series of Toronto specific guidelines for development in proximity to rail operations.

If you are unable to attend one of the community meetings, the material, along with a summary of each meeting will be posted on the study website, where you can also submit comments. https://web.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/ planning-studies-initiatives/ Information will be collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

Yard sales will help charity TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Open your hearts and your wallets this Saturday, Oct. 28 and take in Mimico Triangle’s Charity Halloween Yard Sale in support of Etobicoke notfor-profit organization Reach for the Rainbow.

Mimico residents Michael Majeski, a local realtor, and his wife, Summer Majeski, a project manager, conceived the event, which takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine.

As many as 40 Mimico Triangle residents are on board, committed to hosting a yard sale with all proceeds benefiting Reach’s mandate to integrate children and youth with disabilities through overnight, day and community recreation programs across Ontario.

"We are able to ensure that children and youth with disabilities are able to participate in inclusive recreational programs in their communities because of the generosity of individuals like the Majeskis," Reach for the Rainbow spokesperson Jennifer Jeynes said in a statement.

"We are thrilled that they have elected to raise awareness and much needed funds for Reach for the Rainbow."

Marking the lawns of all residents holding the

charity-benefiting yard sale are blue-and-white signs that read: ’We’re in.

Mimico Triangle’s Charity Halloween Yard Sale last Saturday in October’.

Participating residents live between Royal York Road and Burlington Street and Lake Shore Boulevard West and the railway tracks.

"People started committing, which is great," said Michael Majeski, who has gone door to door, soliciting yard sale participants and interest every Saturday this month.

"We’ve got 42 signs up."

Majeski suggested people taking in the yard sales park in the general area of his home at 178 Queens Ave. near Superior Avenue and tour the neighbourhoods’ yard sales.

The Majeskis will hold their own yard sale, as well as a parent/caregiver-supervised pumpkin-carving station and face painting for kids.

Pumpkins will be sold for a suggested donation of a minimum $5.

Ernesto Monte, owner of Royal York Meat Market, donated 50 pumpkins to the event after Majeski asked if he could bring his vintage 1950s green truck to the event.

To date, 17 children are registered to carve a pumpkin.

Mimico Triangle residents are asked to register

their yard sale by sending a direct message or email on the @mimicotriangle Facebook page, emailing themajesk@hotmail.com or by calling 416-988-3425.

Residents intending to bring their children to the pumpkin carving are also asked to register.

PUMPKIN PARADE Parks across Etobicoke will glow orange Nov. 1 as neighbourhoods bid farewell to this year’s Halloween jack-o’-lanterns with community pumpkin parades. Bring your Jack-OLantern, lighters and candles to the following parks: • Mimico Pumpkin Parade: 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Amos Waites Park, 2445 Lake Shore Blvd. W., organized by the Mimico By-theLake Business Improvement Area; • Centennial Park: 6 to 8 p.m. in the park by the conservatory, 256 Centennial Park Rd., organized by Our Place Initiative; • Park Lawn Park: 6 to 8 p.m., 340 Park Lawn Rd., organized by Friends of Park Lawn Park; • Lambton-Kingsway Park: 6 to 8:30 p.m., 37 Marquis Ave., organized by Lambton-Kingsway Community Group; • Donnybrook Park: 6 to 8 p.m., 43 Loyalist Rd., organized by Etobicoke Centre Councillor John Campbell.

Seniors co-housing has pros and cons, reader writes To the editor: Re: Housing a top concern as Ontario’s baby boomers turn 65, Oct. 12, 2017.

Long before I was a senior, alternative housing options interested me as a way to reduce the isolation and responsibilities of living in a single-family dwelling in suburbia.

Many years later, when my mother returned to Ontario to live in a seniors’ home at the age of 85 years, I saw up close and personal the benefits and drawbacks of isolating seniors

in their own community.

The co-housing initiative as developed by Shelly Raymond certainly addresses the affordability, independence and social interaction factors and will be attractive to many for those reasons.

But with the exception of a multi-generational living arrangement within a family unit, all other options for seniors are in communities that restrict residency to that age group.

My mother was fortunate to have lived in an in-

dependent not-for-profit seniors building in Etobicoke, which was affordable and provided some assisted care as she needed. But watching other seniors and herself decline in function in the absence of other younger residents that could have provided a more leveling influence, created much anxiety for my mother. She loved visits from my daughter, her granddaughter, especially when she brought her own children.

URBAN HERO AWARDS

URBAN HERO AWARDS

About the awards

M

etroland Media Toronto hosts the Urban Hero Awards to celebrate community heroes of all ages for their inspiring work, leadership and good deeds here in the city. The program was launched as part of Canada’s 150th celebrations as a way to honour the people that make a difference in the lives of others and exemplify what it means to be Canadian.

Nominations were accepted in eight categories: Arts, Business, Education, Environment, Good Neighbour, Health, Social Issues and Sports.

The awards were open to individuals who reside or work in

the City of Toronto. Nominees must be at least 14 years of age during the active program year.

The work or act for which a nomination is being made must have taken place in the last five years. Posthumous nominations can be made for good work done in the past 10 years.

For the first time, the awards program included a ‘People’s Choice’ voting round, whereby the public could vote for their favourite nominee once a day between July 7 and Aug. 13. The eight nominees with the most votes across the categories were declared People’s Choice winners.

Another eight winners were

selected by Metroland Media Toronto staff, and assessed based on the following criteria: Impact – How their contributions have made a lasting difference to a person, a group or an issue in the community.

Inspiration – How the person serves as a role model or inspiration to others.

Challenges – What obstacles (social, personal or other) the nominee has overcome to make an impact in their community.

The final 16 award winners were officially announced at a gala event Oct. 19 in Toronto. For more information or to submit a nomination for next year, visit www.urbanheroes.ca

Message from the Publisher

I

insidetoronto.com

t’s my pleasure to help announce the winners of our 2017 Urban Hero Awards in Toronto and share their inspirational stories with our readers.

It’s been exciting to see this concept grow. We at Metroland Media Toronto created the awards program in 2009, first in Etobicoke, and then expanded it in subsequent years to North York and Scarborough. This year, in conjunction with Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations we decided to “go big or go home.” We merged our local awards programs into one, opening nominations to everyone in the city.

It was our most successful awards program to-date, with 65 very deserving nominations submitted by our readers, partners and contacts. For the first time, we hosted a ‘People’s Choice’

vote online that saw an incredible 16,000 unique votes cast for our nominees.

That an awards program like this can garner this kind of support, speaks to the value of recognizing our everyday heroes.

It was our intention to put the spotlight on our neighbours, our teachers, coaches, business leaders and volunteers – to seek out the people who make a real difference in our communities.

Those people serve as inspiration to the rest of us, and we feel it’s our job as a community news organization to bring those stories to light.

I offer my congratulations to our winners, and my thanks to the nominators for identifying this great group of citizens. Well done!

Oksana Hrycyna brings cultural education to Ukraine

I

t has been 10 years since Oksana Hrycyna went to Ukraine for the first time, as a volunteer counselor with the Toronto-based charity Help Us Help The Children.

For two weeks each summer, the high school teacher has been running a two-week summer camp helping orphaned children and refugee children from the war learn the skills and self-esteem that they will need when they leave the orphanages where they have spent their lives.

And in the 10th year, Hrycyna is more attached to the program than ever.

"Every summer I get a new family," she said. "I make it very clear to them that’s how I feel about them. And I have some counselors who come back (after having been campers) for the first time to volunteer, they refer to me as mama. I look at them with such pride."

Hrycyna got involved with the work in Ukraine young, coming out of the Ukrainian-Canadian community’s scouting program. Of Ukrainian descent herself, she volunteered through Help Us Help The Children, and eventually came to administer camps that help children who for one rea-

son or another are without parents or guardians engage with the world.

"The program is very intensive - it’s a two week program where every day they go through four different workshops," she said. "This includes candlemaking, leatherworking workshops, workshops in pottery.

Ukrainian culture is very rich so we teach a lot of folk art."

The young people in the program, aged six to 18, often have little connection to their own culture - and often no experience outside the walls of their orphanage homes. Some are refu-

gees from eastern Ukraine, displaced because their parents were killed in the war. But most are social orphans in state care because they may have family members but they are incapable of doing so.

"A lot are feeling the anxiety of having to leave an orphanage where everything’s been done for them and they’ve been treated with kid gloves, then they’ll be tossed into the world and having to fend for themselves," Hrycyna said.

Of course, they’re not entirely on their own.

They do have their mama -- Oksana Hrycyna.

A trained dancer, choreographer and television producer, Garfield has helmed Arts Etobicoke, growing the already thriving community arts organization into a very public presence in Toronto’s west-end neighbourhoods.

"I wanted very much to continue the legacy of my predecessor, Christine McIvor, while at the same time bringing fresh eyes to the organization," said Garfield, who retired from her role as executive director over the summer.

Garfield’s fresh perspec-

tive brought big, but evolutionary changes. The community arts council has been operating in Etobicoke since 1973 - and has been providing support through programs such as the President’s Legacy Scholarship Fund, which helps 16 young artists a year pursue an education in the arts.

Garfield maintained those programs, but also brought Arts Etobicoke face to face with the community.

She established the organization’s Storefront Gallery in Islington Village - which helped bring more west-end artists into the community.

And she took Arts Etobicoke to north Etobicoke, offering programs such as ur-

"We created a ’gallery’ of

public art through the production of four human rights murals in collaboration with Amnesty International, and a fleet of 15 art-wrapped vehicles with Art on the Move,"

said Garfield.

The word "we" is crucial in Garfield’s lexicon.

"All of this work was done in collaboration with many, many artists, arts organizations and community groups, which only points to the vibrancy and dedication of the community arts sector in Etobicoke," she said. "I hoped we strengthened and

deepened people’s experience with artistic expression wherever it found them along their life’s journeys."

Garfield also brought people to local government, and was among the strongest of advocates for increased arts and culture spending.

But Garfield never forgot who was most important: the young artists, many of whom she mentored as they found their voices.

"In my view, mentorship is a precious, generous exchange between experience and ambition," she said. "In great mentorships, the learning flows both ways and can become one of the deepest, longest lasting relationships in one’s life."

Nasser Rad gives away cars and hope

N

asser Rad can’t solve all your problems, but he can provide you with a free ride.

Through his used car dealership Autorama, Rad gives away vehicles to individuals and families unable to afford the expense.

Through an online vote, he was selected as a 2017 Metroland Media Toronto Urban Hero in the field of Business.

"We try to make one of their problems go away," said Rad about the free car program for which he was honoured. "The main consideration is; can we help someone?"

The program started in 2015, when Rad and his staff at the dealership sought a way to offer direct assistance to people in need, beyond a monetary donation. As of September, Autorama has

awarded 10 free cars. Past Care to Share winners include a young Ajax woman who overcame a learning disability and bullying, to get into college and needed a vehicle to get to her summer job, counselling kids with developmental challenges. Other recipients are single mothers, new Canadians and others who could use a little bit of help.

Rad can relate.

Having arrived in Canada from Iran 27 years ago as a refugee with no money and only obstacles to success. Today, Autorama generates more than $20 million in annual sales, has sold more than 12,000 cars and has an inventory of 250 vehicles at its North York location, employing 20 people.

Every applicant is thoroughly interviewed and vetted by staff members work-

ing on their own time. In order not to influence the process, Rad doesn’t get involved until the very end.

Each winner undergoes a special "ceremony" for which everyone at Autorama pitches in to get the vehicle ready.

Every car must be certified for safety, cleaned and prepared. These are not $20,000 luxury rides, but practical vehicles durable, well-maintained and 100 per cent ready for the road. Applicants pay nothing out of pocket, save insurance. Each winner is treated like a regular customer.

Being in a position to help others acts as validation for Rad’s decision to immigrate to this country, he said.

"I wasn’t able to afford a car and now I can give them away for free," he said. "This could only happen in Canada."

hen it comes to fundraising, David Hicks understands it’s the little things which convince a donor to consistently open the wallet for charity.

Hicks and the staff of Canadian Tire #192 located at 1019 Sheppard Ave. E. are certainly experts when it comes to fundraising. To date, the team has raised thousands of dollars for North York General Hospital’s ongoing campaign to replace 426 patient beds.

For his and his team’s efforts, Hicks and the Canadian Tire Store #192, have been nominated by the hospital and named Metroland Media Toronto’s Urban Hero.

An experienced fundraiser, Hicks said the personal touch helps in attracting donors, whether they’ve given in the past or not. He reached to his own contact base of businesses and individuals with personal entreaties for monies to support the hospital.

“You need to make them feel like they’re a VIP, especially the long-time sponsors,” Hicks said. “You acknowledge the importance of giving and look to build more relationships.”

“You really learn to rely on the community.”

In addition to his role on the North York General Hospital Foundation’s Board of Governors, Hicks

Rexdale resident Martha Nyame is the founder of Abosamso Charity and Orphanage International, a school and refuge in her native Ghana.

Urban Hero Martha Nyame started school in Ghana

I

t was as if God spoke to her.

Martha Nyame was back in Abosamso, a village in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, building her family a house.

As the roof was being attached, Nyame, who had left for Canada eight years before, decided she would give the house to poor children she didn’t know.

Her parents were farmers, and poor, so Nyame, a 2017 winner of Metroland Media’s Urban Hero Award in the Good Neighbour category, never attended school.

One of eight children, she grew up "sad", she remembers, "because my mom don’t [sic] have money".

Returning to Ghana in 1994, she saw many children who faced a childhood like hers. They were "outside, crying and hungry," she says.

In those moments, "I feel pain. Something happens to me."

The following year, she opened the Abosamso Charity and Orphanage International, a free school and an orphanage which originally welcomed 75 children. Some arrived there as infants.

There’s a government school in Abosamso where most local children go, but like Nyame’s parents, many families can’t afford the fees or the costs of uniforms, books, and stationary.

During her first years in Canada, says the Rexdale resident, she felt just going outside was difficult, because she couldn’t speak or count in English.

"I didn’t know my left from my right," she says.

The school kept expanding. Nyame hired qualified teachers and a cook. Meanwhile, in Cana-

da, she did factory jobs and earned extra money sorting mail for a courier company.

Always, she sent whatever she could to Abosamso, but in 2003, Nyame was told she had fibromyalgia.

The condition has worsened, and now she has arthritis too.

Since 2013, she hasn’t been able to work. Children with parents at the school had to go home; now only 18 remain, all orphans or abandoned.

Nyame still sends them whatever she can, but worries it’s not enough. She is disbanding the school, because she can’’t pay its teachers their wages.

Her charity (www.abosamso.com) can still use any form of support for the orphans which remain in her care, including gifts of clothing and other items, or donations as small as $5.

Urban Hero from Woburn is driven each day to give

"E

very day is a new day for doing good," says Dikema Etto, a 2017 winner of Metroland Media’s Urban Hero Award in the Good Neighbour category.

Everything he does is founded on one principle: "All is given to me by my Creator."

First thing each morning, he asks that Creator to open his eyes, so he can see the needs of other human beings, and Etto asks for a chance to do something to help them.

"We are each called to be a blessing, period," he says in his home in Scarborough’s Woburn area.

That’s why, when Etto celebrated his 40th birthday in downtown Toronto with chefs and musicians in 2015, he invited people who were homeless.

It’s why he created A Fresh Start, a drive to distribute personal care items to Syrian refugees in Canada. People he had never met gave and donated space to store items.

People are eager to get involved in charity work; you just have to ask, Etto says.

For instilling his instinct to give, which "follows me hand and foot, like a shadow," Etto credits his mother Veronica - a "Bible

At 34, tired of "vain things," Etto got rebaptised and examined his life, asking the Creator to help him make the best use of his remaining years.

He practices what he believes in, and takes a hands-on approach, he says, since nothing beats meeting the people you’re serving.

"I have no love of writ-

ing cheques," says Etto, who for eight years has picked up and distributed food and care items to homeless people downtown through StreetFeed.

He knows StreetFeed’s early-morning appearances, made whether or not it’s raining or snowing, give desperate people hope.

People call Etto, who is educated as a paralegal, but works as an independent wealth manager, to offer food, and he brings it to neighbours, food banks, and other places.

His goals include teaching financial literacy.

Johann Fisch of Etobicoke stands in the forest he started by planting five trees in Broadacres Park in 1981. For his dedication to the environment and to beautifying his community, Fisch has been recognized with an Urban Hero Award.

Johann Fisch’s forested oasis started from five trees

F

or the past 36 years, Etobian Johann Fisch has been turning Broadacres Park into a quiet, forested oasis.

The German-born Fisch first gained a passion for environmental issues as a nine-year-old boy in his native country. An old man - 60 years on, Fisch does not recall his name - helped foster a love of all things green, which led to Fisch eventually planting trees in the Etobicoke park in 1981.

"I was thinking of the future and the environment and I found the perfect spot to plant some trees and show people it’s possible," said Fisch, who is hearing impaired, through his son and interpreter, Chris.

While the city typically

frowns on civilians planting trees in public parks, no one stopped Fisch, and over the years the forest in Broadacres Park has grown to impressive proportions with thousands of trees and other plants.

To this day, he can be found planting every Earth Day, and he regularly drops by the forest he started to clean up or tend to a small vegetable garden he started there.

"Anyone is free to use the (vegetable) garden," he said through his son. "Anyone who is struggling to find food is free to take some."

Fisch said that while awareness of environmental issues has grown, not enough is being done to protect the planet.

"I’ve lived in the past,

seen what it’s like the present - it’s getting a little worse - and I’m worried about the future," he said. "I feel like the future’s very bleak . over 60 years, I’ve seen the changes for myself."

Having single-handedly started a forest in the city, he knows it’s possible for every single person to make a difference, though he notes that more hands in the soil will make for lighter work.

He is happy to join up with volunteers, either for his Earth Day plant or to help maintain the forest by cleaning up litter that collects there.

He can often be found in the heart of the forest, where he planted his first five trees 36 years ago.

"This is where my heart is," he said.

he depth and breadth of Alice Cheng’s work on environmental issues would be impressive for anyone; but, given her youth, what she has accomplished is nothing short of astounding.

A Grade 11 student in the international baccalaureate program at Victoria Park Collegiate Institute, Cheng has started up her own not-for-profit social venture that aims to serve as a one-stop hub where young people can learn about sustainability and monitor their consumption habits. The initiative, Global Figure, also serves to support other youth-led initiatives.

"Ideally, I want to make youth rethink the way we consume things - everyday products or even media," she said. "In an urban setting, it can be hard to keep track of what you’re consuming."

Global Figure also sells sustainable products, with Cheng using the funds raised to support other grassroots youth-led initiatives.

"It’s a way to get youth more involved and to recognize youth out there who are making a difference in the world," she said.

In addition to starting up Global Figure at the age of 15, Cheng has served as copresident of the Toronto

"In school, you can be so focused on upcoming projects that are due, you don’t always have time to think about the big issues," she said. "It’s not that youth don’t care about these issues. It’s that they often don’t have time to address them."

Cheng acknowledges that despite her vast work in the environmental field, she still has a lot to learn herself.

Vice-principal wants students to succeed

J

osé Alberto Flores is paying it forward.

The educator and People’s Choice Urban Hero Award winner for Education experienced first-hand how having caring teachers could make all the difference between young people sinking or soaring in the classroom.

When Flores moved to Toronto from El Salvador 24 years ago, there were many teachers who took time to get to know and support him in his studies, he said.

"They wanted me to give 200 per cent," he said.

"They were strong role models who pushed me

and supported me. Just because I came from humble beginnings didn’t mean doors would close."

Flores just wrapped up five years as vice-principal of St. Mother Teresa Catholic Academy in Malvern, where he was known for his compassion toward students and getting to know them as people.

"I wanted to give the community all they needed," he said. "If a student is not motivated to come (to school), I would take time to talk with them. Each student has a story."

Flores, who is now viceprincipal of Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary

School and Regional Arts Centre in Bloor West Village, would pay for breakfast and bring it to class for students who couldn’t afford to buy it on their own, and if they were falling behind with the workload, would help organize their studies.

"We’re a team in the school with the parents as well," he said. "I want the students to be successful.

They need structure and if they don’t get it, we fail them as a system."

Flores spent years building trust with students by being transparent and having an opendoor policy, he said.

"They are still human

and need to be treated with respect," he said.

"Yes, I’m vice-principal, but I’m also a role model

and I need to model with respect. At the end of the day, I want you to be in school and I want you to

graduate."

He takes care of paperwork at the end of the school day so he can spend time during the day chatting with students on their spares and visiting classrooms.

"I ask their opinions on school life," he said. "I’m not a vice-principal who disciplines. I’m a caring adult who supports you."

sther Leung Tou has learned a lot from the students at Park Lane Public School.

"Everyone is so unique and has so many strengths," she said.

"They’ve taught me to live one day at a time, to love everyone around us, and to see everyone from a different perspective and not to judge; to be open and have an open heart."

Leung Tou has been principal of the school for developmentally disabled students for four years. Recently, she and her staff were named winners of the

Urban Hero Award for Education by judging panel.

"It’s definitely an honour," she said. "I think of us as a whole family. This is an amazing attribute to the hard work my staff puts in every day."

The Leslie Street and Lawrence Avenue area school enrols 70 students aged four to 21 who have development disabilities.

Some 55 staff members help support students, ranging from teachers to nurses to occupational therapists.

"We follow an alternative curriculum focused on communication and functional life skills," Leung

Tou said. "Students come from all over Toronto. We teach students how to manage themselves and care for themselves."

Daily activities include an emphasis on hand and face-washing, setting the table, eating independently and preparing food, she said.

"Some students are nonverbal, so we teach them picture symbols," she said.

"We try to give students as much as a voice as possible."

Building independence is not only done on campus, but throughout the outside world, Leung Tou said.

"We take walks around the area, we go on TTC buses, we go swimming," she said. "We try to give them real-life, authentic experiences outside of the school.

We go out to concerts or bring concerts to the school."

And just like other schools do, the national anthem is played every day just at a different time.

"One student sings O Canada at the end of the day, as opposed to the start," she said. "We have a staggered entry at the start of the day, but at the end of the day, we are all together."

University student works to destigmatize mental illness

U

Nyarko, who has also won one of Metroland Media Toronto’s Urban Hero awards for health, said the film she directed and produced earlier this year was originally meant for a psychology course she was taking in university.

"We were instructed to make short videos on anything we learned throughout the course, and I decided to focus on depression," the 19-year-old digital storyteller and second-year university student said.

"The film shows how immensely trivialized mental illness is, and why it shouldn’t be so."

Nyarko said mental

niversity of Toronto Scarborough student Sharon Nyarko wants to challenge the misconceptions surrounding the scope, causes and effects of mental illness, and to generate a platform for discussion on the issue.

And her short film Beyond Words was aimed at doing just that.

In May, the film came in first place in a monthly film competition put on by Art With Impact, a California-based organization aimed at promoting mental wellness through art and media.

health is an issue that’s dear to her heart.

"I have myself been depressed and I know so many people who have gone through depression or some other form of mental illness," she said. "In some ways . I was talking to people whom I addressed during that period, my episode, vicariously through that video."

In the film, said Nyarko, she got to address issues that have been bottling up.

"It was refreshing letting those thing out," she said. "People began to speak up and share their own stories with me, so I didn’t feel alone."

Nyarko noted it was her "great support system" and faith that got her through her ordeal.

"The stigma and isolation are in many ways more debilitating than the illnesses themselves because they stop people from seeking help and seeking supports," she said. "Mental health and illness is not something that should be trivialized because it’s so real."

Nyarko said "it’s very touching" to be recognized as an Urban Hero.

"I hope to keep doing this (mental health advocacy work) for as long as I can," she noted.

Social Issues Architect mentors youth through Community Design Initiative

A

trailblazer is what Riverdale architect Paul Dowsett hopes to be when it comes to mentoring youth in the city of Toronto. He’s been doing just that for the past eight years through his Community Design Initiative, which led him to become one of two recipients of the Urban Hero Awards for social issues.

"It’s a weird feeling. It’s proud and humbling all at the same time. I’m a professional architect, so to be recognized as an urban hero for social issues is kind of interesting," Dowsett told Metroland Media.

"I don’t think most people in the world see architects as operating in the social realm. It’s something more architects should do and could do; it’s really part of our job description."

Mentoring youth has been a passion for Dowsett for the past 30 years, but it was in 2009 when he had the idea of mentoring youth in the Kingston Galloway/Orton Park east Scarboroughcommunity.

It began after he participated in a design charette with disadvantaged youth of the Scarborough community who were tasked with redesigning the East Scarborough Storefront community centre.

"We got to the end of that charette and we saw the enthusiasm of this youth, and the way they’ve latched on to it was so infectious that we could not let it stop there," Dowsett explained.

"So, we said ’let’s keep this going and mentor them through the process of design thinking and teach them about architecture

and sustainability.’"

Along the way, youth were also taught presentation, organizational, and leadership skills. It was also a career catalyst for many youth. Dowsett said he’s proud to say many of the participants have pursued university careers in engineering, architecture, urban planning, social development, and international affairs. Before the project, Dowsett said, for many, university wasn’t even on "their radar".

"I can’t count the number of kids who have gone to university and I feel like we had big part in that, and I don’t mean that in a boastful way," he said.

"Without this learning, they may not have gone on to university; it gave them a step up to think bigger and it’s great."

Paul Dowsett created the youth design project, known as Community Design Initiative, to help youth learn about design and make real decisions about their community centre. Paul and his team, through mentorship, made a lasting impact on the lives of youth.

Youth mental health holds importance for Urban Hero

T

wo years ago, north Toronto resident Nicole German and her family were struck by tragedy with the sudden death of her 14-year-old daughter, Madeline "Maddie" Grace German Coulter.

Maddie was an advocate for youth mental illness and after her death, her mother became one too, which is why she created the Maddie Project.

"The Maddie Project is a legacy to my daughter and speaks to a wish that she’d expressed. She wanted to change the way youth access mental health care," said German.

"When she passed away, there was an up swell of the community wanting to do something. The work that I’ve done has really been a community effort, so it’s hard for me to take full credit because I look at this like a coming together of community for a common cause."

German is one of two Urban Hero recipients in the social issues category for her dedication to channeling her grief into something good for the community through the Maddie Project, which helps other teens across the country battling with mental health issues. The project’s goal is to create awareness by reducing the stigma and sparking conversations be-

It also aims to increase access to support for youth suffering from depression and mental health concerns.

She’s also partnered with North York General Hospital, the place where Maddie spent three months of her life in acute care. The Maddie Project has become the biggest community supporter of the Phillips House, the home of children and adolescent outpatients seeking mental health programs. Together they’ve raise over $1 million

to create the 1.2-acre therapeutic healing garden named after her daughter.

"Maddie’s Healing Garden is really appropriate for her. She loved the outdoors and being physically active," German added.

"So it’s not only a wonderful legacy and an inspiring place, but it’ll give really tangible results in how it will be helpful to youths and their families in their journey through mental health issues. So it’s really around the fulfilment of her wish, and when she passed away, it was a natural area for us to contribute to."

Toronto Argonauts’ Jamal Campbell remains humble to home

T

oronto Argonauts’ offensive lineman Jamal Campbell keeps Toronto’s Jane and Finch neighbourhood close to his heart.

"Growing up in Jane and Finch is just like other communities. Obviously, it has its social problems, but my experience growing up there was a positive one because it created a lot of character," the 23-year-old said. "In terms of Jane and Finch as a community, I love the community."

The six-foot-seven-inch Canadian Football League sophomore remains humble to his home, which is

why he still lives there and continues to be a mentor for youth even after being drafted 22nd overall by the Argos in 2016.

"Growing up, I’ve seen so many of my friends and just kids I went to school with just not having the right guidance," he said.

"So when I talk to kids, students, I try to mentor them; I try to be the voice that I never heard and the voice that I also heard, you know, just trying to keep them, make them see the bigger picture."

He grew up mainly playing basketball at courts in the area and across the city, but it was only when

he was in Grade 11 at C. W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute when he discovered football through an Argos’ community program.

He said it took him some time to get used to the game, but once he got the swing of things, post-secondary schools came calling and he was off to York University, staying close to home.

"Being in Toronto, I was able to just stay involved in my community and stay involved in my family," he said. "It was just wonderful."

Campbell’s humbleness and his community outreach work, such as his

speaking at schools and other community events, are just some of the reasons why he was nominated for an Urban Hero award by his close friend’s older brother, Paul Nguyen.

"I think he has a really bright future and I’m looking forward seeing him go even further," Nguyen said.

Although his career is young, Campbell hopes he will be remembered as a respectful player and person.

"That’s all I really want," he said. "I want to be the best version of me on and off the field."

Jennifer Smith helps girls, women enjoy playing hockey

J

ennifer Smith loves everything about hockey.

Growing up, she would watch the sport on television and play lots of it on the rink and on the street.

But she never played organized hockey until she attended the University of Toronto and joined a women’s intramural league.

"I played for four years and really didn’t think I’d play hockey after that," she said, until she found out about a women’s recreational league starting up in 1992.

"I’ve played ever since," she added.

Now 49, Smith is the president of the Toronto Leaside

Girls Hockey Association, which operates out of the city’s east end.

She became involved with the organization back in 2003 as an assistant coach of her daughter’s hockey team.

"I don’t think I would have ever imagined in 2003 that 14 years later I would have had this incredible opportunity to help with our board, with our hundreds of volunteers, to shape and grow this organization in the way that we have," she said.

Founded in 1974, it was established to create opportunities for girls and women, regardless of their skill lev-

el.

Currently, the association operates a wide-range of programs with over 1,600 members.

"Creating a solid, positive

environment for these athletes is important," Smith said.

Her commitment and passion for helping women in hockey is what earned

her a nomination for an Urban Hero award from her colleague June Smyth.

"She just wants every girl who’s interested in playing to be able to play at the best

level for them and to love the game," Smyth said. "I’ve always admired Jennifer and looked up to her because not only is she dealing with a difficult position, but she manages it with grace and understanding and really tries to help people."

Smith said she’s happy being recognized for her work, but she said she can’t do it alone.

"There’s 13 of us on this board, and there are hundreds of volunteers in this organization . I’m just one person; it takes many volunteers to put 1,600 players on the ice every week," she said.

"This is lovely, but really, it’s a team award."

Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month! Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool.

Choose foods produced organically, locally and in season.

Support your regional farmers and farming industry: buying locally and in season is better for the environment than buying foods that have been shipped hundreds of kilometers to your local market.

ADS HAVE CHANGED A LOT OVER THE YEARS, but one thing remains the same: truth in advertising matters. adstandards.ca
