The line which crosses Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough, could soon transport tar sands oil from Alberta and that has a lot of people worked up about what’s flowing underneath their neighbourhoods. We investigate  page 34.

A raucous crowd packed the York Memorial Collegiate Institute auditorium Tuesday to hear the three frontrunners in the mayoral race debate both local and city-wide issues. Sitting alongside John Tory and Olivia Chow was Doug

Ford who participated in his first live debate since replacing his brother Rob Ford in the race to become mayor. “I’m in this race for two simple reasons. I love this city and the people who live there,” said Ford, whose vocal supporters showed their approval chanting “Ford More Years.” >>>mayoral, page 10

Awareness about oil pipeline activity a priority in Toronto

Write us

t travels underground right across Toronto, beside busy roads, near the backyards of homes and an elementary school, has been around for almost 40 years and yet many residents have no idea it even exists. However, all that is quickly changing for the Enbridge oil pipeline known as Line 9. Environmental groups are concerned with a federal decision earlier this year to allow bitumen oil, known as tarsands oil, to be pumped through the pipeline. In today’s edition, residents can learn more about Line 9. Environmentalists say the bitumen oil is heavier than the light crude oil Line 9 presently carries, and the consequences of a spill due to a breakage in the line could be dire, especially since the line crosses the Humber, Don and Rouge rivers in Toronto. The environmental concerns are heightened by the age of the line, which was built our view in 1976, and by the fact bitumen oil is considered more corrosive We need a say than light crude. Enbridge, however, rejects the on emergency notion that bitumen oil will be flowing through Line 9. A spokesresponse plan person said light crude will be the bulk of what Line 9 carries as the refineries that take the oil are not “heavy” refineries. Whether the capability of those refineries changes to deal with bitumen in the future remains to be seen. As part of the approval by the National Energy Board (NEB) to allow bitumen oil through the pipeline, Enbridge is carrying out work related to pipeline integrity and the creation of an emergency response plan. And it’s in this emergency plan that Toronto residents need to be especially involved. Toronto Councillor David Shiner said the City of Toronto is working with Enbridge on emergency response plans, but much of what needs to be done is under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Enbridge has filed a plan with the NEB and says it is waiting for a response before making the details public. When those details become public, Toronto residents must be given numerous opportunities for input on the emergency response plan. Given the thousands of homes and busy roadways located so close to Line 9, Toronto residents’ awareness of Line 9 and an understanding of what to do in an emergency must become a priority for Enbridge, the federal government and the City of Toronto.

Fringe candidates have to battle to bring issues forward

e are a free country – or at least, a free enough country to allow anyone with citizenship, some cash and a birth certificate showing that they’re out of short-pants to run for public office. When it comes to actually holding that office... well, we’re not quite free enough to let just anybody do that. Fame, money – even infamy, is a prerequisite. The mayor’s city-councillor brother Doug Ford, who entered the mayoral race last weekend with a hasty Saturday afternoon canvass and a cobbledtogether platform, was polling 23 per cent before he even cleared his throat for his first debate Tuesday. John Tory and Olivia Chow both rode into the campaign with public CVs sufficiently massive to attract money with an almost gravitational force. Those other candidates? The 60-odd who registered to run in the municipal

david nickle the city election for the city’s top job? Nobody wants to hear from them. Ari Goldkind, a criminal lawyer with a progressive platform and a genially aggressive style, has been complaining for months about the fact that debate organizers won’t invite him to the table to test his ideas against Chow’s and Tory’s and Ford’s. On Monday night, the Forum poll finally found he charted. Morgan Baskin, an articulate young community activist, has been running a youth-oriented campaign from the fringes, and has rarely had a chance to debate issues. There are others – dozens – and each and every one of them, I suspect, will be a little miffed that I didn’t name check them in this column. To those, I offer no apology: absent ideas or coherent

expression of same, a candidate deserves every inch of the fringe they inhabit. But candidates like Goldkind and Baskin are a different matter. Both are attempting to inject reasonable and thoughtful alternatives into the debate, all while wearing appropriate business attire (something by no means a given among the fringe candidates). They don’t have CVs (at least not the kind that get you elected mayor), they aren’t famous... aren’t even infamous. But they seem like they have a plan. It’s kind of sad in one way, seeing these welldesigned campaigns and earnest candidates ignored. In another way, it’s frustrating to watch these two candidates seeming to do nothing so much as squander their time in the limelight. It’s tough to blame debate organizers to want to limit the roster to those candidates who have a shot at victory. It’s tough to blame voters

who turn away from the well-dressed stranger on the street, when there’s so much at stake for the whole city, in choosing between seasoned and frankly electable political leaders. The fact is that the way our political season is structured, it’s very difficult in our imperfectly free country for intelligent and useful ideas to work their way up from the bottom. That’s not to say that they can’t – but it’s a tough row to hoe, having to sell both one’s controversial notions and one’s own untested credibility at a time when all eyes are looking elsewhere. Here’s hoping that Goldkind and Baskin and other fringe candidates dreaming impossible dreams in October find some energy for advocacy and outreach between November and the next election.

Entrepreneur eyes privately run west end bus route TTC has no concerns with crowdfunded express route, but will monitor service

“

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A budding transit entrepreneur is banking on enough interest to fund a privately run bus route catered to disgruntled transit commuters in the city’s west end. Brett Chang, co-founder of Line Six – named after hip-hop megastar Drake’s moniker for Toronto – says a lack of reliable TTC options in the Liberty Village neighbourhood make it ideal to launch a crowdfunded bus service, the Liberty Village Express (LVE), which will begin offering morning rush-hour trips to Union Station – if there’s sufficient demand. Chang, who is originally from Etobicoke, came up with the idea along with his Line Six partner Taylor Scollon. He was inspired by alternative transit services in cities such as San Francisco. Chang hopes to launch the service on an interim basis starting Monday, Oct. 6 until Friday, Oct. 10. “We want to provide the opposite

We want to provide the opposite of what people are experiencing right now in terms of transit, and that’s a comfortable service which is also reliable. – Brett Chang

Former Etobicoke resident Brett Chang co-founded Line 6, which is currently crowdsourcing a bus line to help those in Liberty Village angry about TTC service.

of what people are experiencing right now in terms of transit, and that’s a comfortable service which is also reliable,” said Chang. To get LVE up and running, Line Six is looking to raise $2,500 via an online donations campaign. As of Wednesday morning, it is 88 per cent of the way toward

that target. Anyone who donates a minimum of $25 will reserve a seat for every day of the week on a chartered mini-coach bus, which will be procured by Line Six. “All we’re doing is organizing these groups and then going to a chartered bus company to

book and run the bus,” Chang said. “We don’t see ourselves as any different from a school group, or organizing a trip to a Blue Jays game or a church group organizing a bus to go to Niagara Falls.” If not enough money is raised, anyone who already contributed will get a full refund, Chang said. LVE will offer four morning trips each day of the trial run running every 45 minutes starting at 7 a.m. from the intersection of Pirandello Street and East Liberty Street to the corner of Front Street and University Avenue. Another three trips originating

from Front and University will travel to the intersection of King Street West and Strachan Avenue starting at 7:20 a.m. with the final trip scheduled for 8:50 a.m. Chang said he hasn’t spoken with the TTC about the service, but is confident it doesn’t violate local bylaws. TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said there are no plans to halt the service, but it will be monitored. “For now, no concerns. Should that change, we will engage directly with the operators,” said Ross over email. If the Liberty Village service proves a hit, Chang said new Line Six connections could start appearing in other transit-starved corners of the city. “We think communities know best in terms of transit and if there’s a group of people who have an idea for a route they’d like to fund we should empower them with the technology and the logistical ability to do that,” he said.

our exclusive look

Waterfront photo exhibit showcases local work My Waterfront Photo Exhibit runs Sept. 26 to Nov. 2, with preview gala on opening night TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Four Etobicoke amateur photographers’ unique Toronto waterfront images are finalists in the 2014 My Waterfront Photo Exhibit, which runs from Sept. 26 to Nov. 2 at Queen’s Quay Terminal. Judges chose 50 finalists from 300 submissions based on overall impact, originality, artistic merit, composition and technical excellence. The public may choose the exhibit’s People’s Choice Award at the Artist Preview Gala on Sept. 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the terminal, 207 Queen’s Quay West. The winner receives a trophy,

ribbon and a Yankee Lady Yacht Charters’ lunch, brunch or dinner cruise valued at $100. Sean Van Dongen captured a female Snowy Owl early in the morning at Tommy Thompson Park with a 500 mm Canon lens. “Snowy owls are very timid. They don’t like to be photographed,” said Van Dongen, a cyclist, marathon runner and triathlete who took up photography tooks years ago as a creative outlet. “You sneak up, hide on them. The longer the lens, the better. Owls are really cool. It’s all about the eyes. Their eyes are wide open, bright. They’re predators. I find them

interesting.” Jason Crockett shot the Toronto skyline from the Humber Pedestrian Bridge with an 18-35 Sigma lens using a long exposure on “an overcast, gloomy day” in late spring for his entry, Zombie Apocalyse — a Gloomy Day Makes for a Sombre City. “I did 98 per cent of the editing in a program called Light Room,” explained Crockett, who has only been shooting seriously for the past two years. “I enjoy shooting landscapes, using long exposures, nighttime photography. I’m using better equipment, learning new skills, new techniques.” Rhys Parker, only 14, shot

Me and my Dad were in the car headed to school. We couldn’t believe what we saw,” said Parker, a Richview Collegiate student. “I ran out of the car and took as many photos as I could. That one photo sparked my interest in photography. I take photos of what interests me. I love to travel. The iPhone 5c has a great camera.” Secrets in the Ice is Louri Poliakov’s entry.

Mayoral debate gets loud at York Memorial Collegiate Garbage collection, child care, affordable housing, youth employment part of heated talk >>> page 1 Tory responded the past four years on council have been divisive and it will take leadership and accountability to make the city go from good to great. “I think it’s time to vote for change again,” Tory said. Chow touted her plans to build a better Toronto as inclusive, adding it was designed by experts and will have an immediate impact. “With me as your mayor, everyone counts,” Chow said. While the questions submitted by residents touched on various issues ranging from child care and privatization of garbage collection to affordable housing and youth employment, much of the heated debate centred around transit. Tory continued to promote his

SmartTrack plan that he said would provide city-wide transit relief in seven years using existing GO Train lines, which would help people commute to work across the city. Ford referred to Tory’s transit strategy as the “Back Tr a c k ” p l a n and instead promised to build “subways, subways, subways.” Chow questioned how the city would pay for subways with each kilometre of tunnel costing $300 million. “How are you going to pay for it?” said Chow, who endorsed light rail transit (LRT) construction that she said can be done immediately to get residents from across the city moving faster. As the evening went on, each of the candidates continued to trade barbs.

“

If you’re going to be the mayor, you need to hear from all parts of the city. – Laura Alderson

“You know John? You’re a slicktalking politician,” said Ford, painting Tory as an elitist who is from a “different world” than the majority of the voting public. “I know you’re used to getting everything on a silver platter.” But Tory criticized Ford’s inability to unite city council during the past term to get things done. “I will not call my colleagues at city council ‘monkeys’ as Mr. Ford did,” he said. “What I will do is I will start by listening.” Both Chow and Ford labeled Tory as a flip-flopper on issues. “You’ll say anything to get elected,” said Chow, adding Tory’s “making up his transit plan.” Despite the heated debate, which

saw one Ford supporter removed from the auditorium for excessive shouting, Tory said he looked forward to the next five weeks campaigning. “The crowd was very lively tonight,” Tory said. “But that’s good for democracy.” Laura Alderson, vice-chair of the Weston Village Residents’ Association (WVRA), estimated about 900 people attended the debate at its peak. Hosted by four local community groups including the WVRA, Mount Dennis Community Association, Rockcliffe-Smythe Community A s s o c i a t i o n a n d G re e n h i l l s Community Association, Alderson said the event was larger than initially expected due to Ford making his first appearance in a debate. “I’m glad they showed up. I’m glad they paid attention to us,” said Alderson of the candidates. “If you’re going to be the mayor, you need to hear from all parts of the city.”

Great value in Etobicoke -150 homes under $299,900

Register now for Westlake Encore, the ﬁnal phase of Etobicoke’s ﬁrst urban village and fastest growing community Wake up to stunning views of Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline or Etobicoke’s Mimico Creek at Westlake Encore, Onni’s fourth and final tower in their new waterfront community. The innovative community of Westlake Village is just steps from Humber Bay Park and a short trip to downtownToronto. Suites at Westlake Encore strike the perfect balance between urban convenience and small community living. The building is grounded by a sevenstorey podium and stands 46 storeys tall, elegantly combining townhouse and condo living. In the heart of parks and greenery, the village will soon be home to a unique blend of more than 60,000 square feet of shops, services, dining and amenities, including a Metro Supermarket, Shoppers Drug Mart, and a TD Bank. “Onni is big on the urban village concept, having built many similar successful developments like it,” says Sue Young, Onni’s sales manager. “What’s attracting buyers is the mix of retail and residential that will create a vibrant, new pedestrian-friendly community, and also the development’s proximity to downtown

Toronto, to the lake and the surrounding views.” The first three towers at Westlake Village broke sales record for the area when they were released for sale in 2010. The first homeowners will move in early next year, those moving into Encore will be able to enjoy all of the complete retail shops by the time they move in. “Almost anyone would be able to find something that suits their needs,” says Young. “We have a good range of sizes. We have smaller suites for those just entering the real estate market, and twostorey townhouses for people looking for more space.” “We took pride in designing all of the condo units,” says Young. “We consulted with architects and interior designers so every square inch of the space in utilized.” Available condo suites range from a 472 square foot, studio, to a 1270 square foot two-bedroom plus study, all of which offer at least nine-foot ceilings and spacious balconies, making the outdoor space as attractive as the indoor space. Buyers will be particularly impressed with the penthouse-quality finishes that

come standard with every suite. Composite stone countertops and glass backsplashes in the kitchen compliment the selection of contemporary cabinets buyers have to choose from and high-efficiency stainless steel appliances. Standard suites feature laminate floors throughout, and every bathroom is complete with marble or limestone floors. Amenities at Westlake Encore are unparalleled when it comes to luxury and design. The entire penthouse level is dedicated to a fitness centre fully equipped with exercise machines, yoga studios and walk-out balconies, and the Sky Lounge, a party room with its own kitchen, dining room, double-sided fireplace and walk-

out balconies to take in views of downtown and the lake. The roof of the seventh-floor podium features an outdoor pool, BBQ area, fire pits, cabanas, a steam room and change room, to make the most of the space and Canadian summers by the water. Westlake Encore offers Etobicoke’s best value with 150 homes priced under $299,900 including parking and locker. This fall, Onni is unveiling a new sales centre in the heart of the village for Encore. Register today for more information at ONNI.COM or call 416-477-3377 for the final opportunity to buy into this innovative Etobicoke community that promises to transform the Etobicoke waterfront.

it was a busy summer at etobicoke General! The hospital is preparing for construction of its new four-storey wing to help expand access to the services needed most by the growing community. Osler will move to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) phase of the project later this fall to identify the companies with the experience and capacity necessary to design, build, finance and maintain the hospital’s new wing. Submissions will be reviewed to

pre-qualify project teams, and then a short-listed group will be invited to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP), expected in spring 2015. To prepare the 42-year old building and systems for the new addition, Osler will soon be starting its early Works projects. This will involve utility upgrades as well as the replacement of existing chillers.

A new joint Vascular and endovascular Program will soon give patients access to leading-edge, life-saving surgical procedures closer to home. Approximately one in 10 Canadian adults have peripheral vascular disease and in this community, the rate is much higher. Osler’s goal is to develop the first joint Vascular and Endovascular Centre of Excellence in a Canadian community hospital. When the program launches this fall, patients at high risk of heart attack, stroke and aneurysms will have access to more effective and advanced surgical methods that are minimally invasive, helping them recover faster.

Golfers show incredible support ‘fore’ Etobicoke General

did YoU Know?

Hundreds of local golfers laced up their golf shoes, grabbed their clubs and hit the links in support of Etobicoke General this summer.

Hospitals must raise funds from the community to purchase equipment

Willowbrook GO Transit kicked things off when they drove home support at their 15th annual golf tournament in May. The tournament attracted more than 250 golfers and raised an incredible $25,000, which has pushed the group well past the halfway point of their $100,000 pledge to Etobicoke General in just two years. In August, a generous sold-out crowd of hospital staff, business professionals and golf enthusiasts helped the 18th annual Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational surpass its goal, raising $105,080 for redevelopment projects at Etobicoke General, including

the new four-storey wing that will be home to an updated and expanded emergency department. “Etobicoke General is fortunate to be part of a community that is so passionate about health care,” said Ken Mayhew, President and CEO of William Osler Health System Foundation. “These golfers join a group of community champions who are working together to bring our 42-year-old facility not only up to par, but transformed for the 21st century.” Pictured above: etobicoke invitational committee members (from left) John Marshman, scott Vickers, claudio D’uva and Mike Fagan (absent: James Moolecherry).

Gifts from individuals, organizations and businesses have funded critical equipment throughout the hospital.

Lindsay Luby reflects on her life in politics Outgoing councillor looks forward to ‘spreading her wings’; doesn’t rule out writing a city hall tell-all book CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Just because longtime city councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby has decided to retire, doesn’t mean the 30-year-plus veteran politician is planning to remain idle for long: her services and expertise, she said, are already being sought after by local organizations, and she also has plans to travel with her husband, would like to take some cooking courses, and won’t rule out the possibility of writing a city hall tell-all. “You never know – anything’s a maybe at this point,” she laughed, after listing writing as one of the endeavors she’d like to pursue in her retirement come November. “I’m really just looking forward to kind of spreading my wings and to having more freedom, because my job has been 24/7 for the last 30 years.” As one of the longest-sitting councillors at city hall, Lindsay Luby would certainly have plenty of material to choose from should she opt to follow in the footsteps of fellow councillor John Filion and Mayor Ford’s former chief of staff Mark Towhey in writing a book about what goes on behind closed doors at 100 Queen St. W. Lindsay Luby has represented Etobicoke Centre’s Ward 4 at Toronto City Hall since amalgamation in 1998. Prior that, she was on Etobicoke City Council from 1985 to 1998, and before that was a trustee with the Etobicoke Board of Education from 1982 to 1985. In reflecting back on her time in office, Lindsay Luby said there have been many highlights over the years – from saving the South Kingsway connection to the Gardiner Expressway and bringing in preservative zoning bylaws during her time with the City of Etobicoke, to

helping rejuvenate many of Etobicoke’s aging parks and brokering a compromise at Humbertown Shopping Centre in more recent years at Toronto City Hall. “After I first got on at Etobicoke city council in 1985, the first big issue was when I learned the Metro planning and transportation departments were planning to delete that connection of the South Kingsway to the Gardiner,” she recalled. “And I thought, “Oh my God, how many people from Etobicoke use that route? That would cut off Etobicoke...so I made quite the protestation and they retreated from that decision.” Down in Islington Village at the time, meanwhile, Lindsay Luby said she had her hands full with the proliferation of “monster houses”. “What was happening was, people were buying big lots with small houses on them in the Islington Village area, particularly, and tearing them down and putting up huge houses, and people were getting really upset,” she explained, noting that after consulting with planning staff, a community committee was convened. “We walked up and down the streets of Islington Village to determine what was acceptable and what was not acceptable and put

those into measurable terms, i.e. heights, sideyard setbacks, etc. That was then brought to Etobicoke council at a public meeting, and it was supported by council and new bylaws put in place.” While Lindsay Luby said she’s proud of all of the work she’s done in 30 years as a councillor in Etobicoke – including the establishment of a community bus for seniors, serving as acting chair of the Toronto Police Service, opposing the construction of high-to-midrise buildings on the north side of Eglinton Avenue, saving the woodlots across from the Richview Collegiate playingfield and at Kipling and Eglinton, and petitioning for the burial of any future LRT line to be built in Ward 4 – one of her crowning achievements was the successful, years-long fight against a “too big, too dense, too tall” redevelopment proposal for Humbertown Plaza. As for what’s next for Lindsay Luby, she said “everybody has plans for me.” “I’ve done so much community stuff, so I will pick and choose where I want to spend my time. And I might even do some more things with my family too.” To read the full version of this story, go to insidetoronto. com and search ‘Gloria Lindsay Luby’

Boris Panovski arrested in Donato Frigo murder OPP arrest Panovski re-entering Canada, charge him with first-degree murder The OPP has arrested a 70-yearold Scarborough man wanted in a Canada-wide warrant for the murder of Etobicoke construction executive Donato Frigo. Boris Panovski was arrested “without incident” Sunday at Pearson International Airport as he re-entered Canada, the OPP said in a news release Monday morning. He was charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. The OPP issued a Canadawide warrant for Panovski last Thursday.

Korenycky is wanted by police in south Etobicoke’s 22 Division on charges of: failure to attend court; failure to comply with probation; two counts of break-and-enter; two counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; and possession of property obtained by crime. Anyone who sees Korenycky is urged to call 911, while anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call 22 Division at 416Genevieve 808-2200, Crime Stoppers anonyKorenycky mously at 416-222TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips. com or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

minor injuries. Panovski will appear later Monday at the Ontario Court of Justice in Goderich, Ont. Field trials with pointers Frigo was vice-president of Hady Construction Inc. of Etobicoke. Frigo and Willer are credited with preserving the sport of field trials for pointer dogs, where dogs chase down birds and are rated. The couple was doing the sport when the shooting occurred. Police searched Panovski’s home Wednesday night where they located and seized a number of items now at the Centre of Forensic Sciences in downtown Toronto, OPP Det.-

Sgt. Dave Truax, director of OPP criminal investigation services, told reporters Friday. That led to the manhunt, and to police asking the public’s help in locating Panovski, who Truax said should be considered armed and dangerous. The two men knew each other, but Truax would not elaborate on the nature of their relationship. Those in the sport of field trails remembered Frigo in online posts. Neil Judge remembered Frigo on the Ontario Out of Doors online forum. “Don was a longtime, much respected Shooting Dog Owner/ Amateur Handler with many suc-

We have lost a great man.” Another poster also called Frigo a “gentleman.” “Don was a consummate gentleman, both on and off the trial grounds. His contribution to the OBDCA (Ontario Bird Dog and Conservation Association) is immeasurable. As such, his absence will be felt both on a personal and a professional level.” Frigo’s funeral was Monday at St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church in Woodbridge, Ont.

Boy, 17, arrested overnight >>>from page 1 the school, which led to a confrontation between the two students in the school hallway,” police said in a statement released Wednesday morning. “Another student intervened to defuse the situation, which resulted in him being stabbed.” Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said when personnel from Toronto EMS, Toronto Fire and 23 Division first arrived on the scene, Aminzada was found “vital signs absent” but emergency responders were able to “bring him back.” “CPR was commenced and a pulse was restored,” before the victim was transported to hospital via an emergency run, she said. Aminzada, an Afghan ESL student who reportedly moved to Toronto from Pakistan two years ago with his family, later succumbed to his injuries at hospital. At a press conference outside NACI at around 5 p.m. Tuesday, Det.-Sgt. Terry

Browne, the lead homicide investigator on the case, said he was “quite confident” police would make a quick arrest in connection with Aminzada’s stabbing – a prediction investigators made good on in arresting a 17-year-old Toronto boy overnight. Young offender charged The identity of the accused, who has since been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the case, cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning. Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Director of Education Donna Quan said Tuesday that the board’s focus moving forward will be on supporting NACI students, staff, and parents and guardians through this “difficult time”. “Caring and Safe Schools

staff and social workers are at the school and will be made available to anyone in the school community for as long as they are needed,” she said in a statement Tuesday, thanking students for being “incredibly cooperative” during the lockdown the school was placed during the aftermath of the stabbing, as police conducted a classroom-by-classroom search of the building. “They deserve a lot of credit for the way they handled the situation, as do the staff who implemented the lockdown calmly and quickly.” Quan also thanked Toronto police for its assistance and pledged to continue to work closely with them during the investigation. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact police at 416-8087400, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS(8477), online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

With the bitumen, as the heart of the problem. increased friction in the See the video at http://bit. pipeline is a concern which ly/1ue220l has environmental groups on The particular section of edge about the 38-year-old Line 9 in question, referred to pipeline’s safety. as Line 9B, stretches 639 kiloEarly this spring, the metres from North Westover, National Energy Board (NEB) just northwest of Hamilton approved Enbridge’s proposed and travels through Etobicoke, expansion project of Line 9, North York and Scarborough, subject to 30 conditions that bound for Montreal, Que.

“

The pipeline enters Etobicoke south of Eglinton Avenue West from Mississauga heading north alongside a portion of Hwy. 401. It then turns east north of Finch Avenue heading eastbound through North York and Scarborough. As it leaves Scarborough’s eastern border it travels through Rouge Park lands. Enbridge spokesperson Graham White said Line 9 has been misrepresented by those opposed to it, and it is not a tarsands oil pipeline. “Line 9 will carry primarily light oil as it did prior to the planned reversal. The destination refineries are ‘light’ refineries and do not have significant capability to refine heavy products like bitumen oil,” he said. However, Enbridge has permitted shippers to transport different oil blends which includes heavier grades such as bitumen. The 38-year-old pipeline could start transporting the heavier grade bitumen as early as December, say some environmental groups. Sa b r i n a Bow m a n , o f Environmental Defence, is skeptical of Enbridge’s assertion that the line will pump mainly light oil. “With the NEB approval they can pump as much of the tarsands oil as they want and we wouldn’t know,” she said. Since the NEB approval, a series of integrity digs on the pipeline have been taking place to help support the planned capacity increase, said White, with one work site being at G. Ross Lord Dam and Park in North York. Environmental groups cite an Enbridge spill that saw 3.3 million litres of oil

go into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 25, 2010 as cause for concern. That spill is estimated to have cost Enbridge more than $1 billion and is reportedly the largest on-land oil spill in U.S. history according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Last December, in light of the growing concerns, Toronto City Council requested Enbridge have an emergency response strategy in place for Toronto in order to minimize the impact of any potential spill. Wa rd 2 4 W i l l ow d a l e Councillor David Shiner has been a part of the city effort to implement safety emergency response plans. At the moment, he said there are no such plans in place in the Greater Toronto Area. “We are trying to make sure Enbridge can make the line as safe as it possibly can make it,” Shiner said. “But the city can only do so much since it’s an issue that needs to be handled at the federal level. The federal government gave permission, but hasn’t pressured Enbridge, as much as the City of Toronto has done to implement safety procedures. Right now the city doesn’t have the capacity to respond to a disaster.” Enbridge filed an Emergency Response Action Plan this past July with the NEB and is waiting for feedback before releasing details about it later this October. Having spoken to communities along Line 9, Environmental Defence said most residents they contacted were unaware of the pipeline and the possibility of it carrying tar sands oil. While White said that between May of 2012 and July of 2013, Enbridge met

with more than 60 municipalities, 150 emergency responder groups, six conservation authorities, landowner groups, 14 Aboriginal communities and both the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec regarding the line. In a community meeting

about Line 9, SBFF handed out Tamil and Chinese pamphlets in order to improve the communication gap among north Scarborough residents, they said knew nothing of the pipeline.

Fort York unveils visitor centre HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Designed to mirror the original lake bluff that contributed to Fort York’s natural defences from the 1790s to the 1880s, the new 27,400 square-foot Fort York Visitor Centre was made to honour the past. “We resolved to design a building that was more like a piece of landscape architecture and together with the research of the historic evolution of the site, we found this was the original line of Lake Ontario,” said Jonathan Kearns, one of the lead architects who designed the visitor centre. “It was featured very strongly in the battle of 1813 when the fort was attacked by the Americans and was blown up by the British in their retreat, so we tried to remind people of the history.” Located in the concrete canopy of the Gardiner Expressway, the new $18-million Fort York Visitor Centre officially opened Friday.

The 900-foot linear building has large rusted steel panels designed to mimic the natural lake escarpment that sat there two centuries ago, when it was initially located on the original shoreline of Lake Ontario. Now 500 metres from the shoreline the new visitor centre boasts information services, exhibition galleries, spaces for meetings and a café. Administrative offices will also be in the centre after they’re relocated from Fort York’s historic structures. Visitors are also able to walk on the roof, once fully completed, and look out onto Fort York Boulevard as if they themselves were in a trench during a battle in the 1800s, Kearns said. There will be five new exhibits available for the public to check out including: Charles Patcher’s 1812: The Art of War; The Great War - in Your Cellar, Closet or Storage Locker; and Outfitted for War: Canadian Uniforms and Weapons of the First World

War, which features neverbefore-seen objects. As visitors walk through the centre they’ll be able to travel through the time tunnel, an exhibit created by Nestor Kruger that leads to the entrance to Fort York. It’s a 70-metre long mixed media installation that transforms Woodrow Wilson’s iconic 1918 Fourteen Points speech to the U.S Congress into a geometric pattern. It serves as the backdrop to the narration of a card game meant to represent a way to outwit the devil, according to Russian folktales. “It’s an immersive multimedia experience with floorto-ceiling audio and visuals,” Kearns said. “When you come out of the tunnel you’re now equipped with the background knowledge, which makes that experience of the fort itself a completely richer, more exciting experience than it would otherwise be.”

Avoiding injuries in seniors Tips for fall from Toronto Central CCAC

As the last days of summer fade and the coolness in the air becomes the norm, so does concern for those who are frail, have mobility challenges or are otherwise vulnerable. Older adults often welcome the arrival of fall with both happiness that the hot weather has passed and trepidation about what’s to come. Cooler temperatures herald many realities that may cause physical stress to an elderly person. These include the beginnings of frost, and later on, snow and ice. The prospect of managing on a slippery surface such as a sidewalk or stairs can be daunting for someone who is physically fragile. The logistics alone of navigating a walker or using a cane without slipping is one that can cause much anxiety in seniors. For those who may be physically compromised, the prospect of suffering a fall, whether it’s indoors or outside, is a very real fear. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) has a team of Care Coordinators who work with a large number of elderly clients. Through working with the elderly, the CCAC has learned some simple but effective tips to help their clients and other seniors to keep safe from injuries caused by falls.

Here are some proven strategies for the elderly in preventing unexpected slips and falls:

INDOOR • Make sure to always have one hand free in order to hold the handrail – also consider putting handrails on both sides of the stairs • Proper indoor lighting is key to reducing falls – brightly lit household areas will reduce the incidences of unexpected slips • Take one step at a time making sure your foot is firmly planted on the stairs before putting your weight on it • Always wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles • Ensure that indoor stairs have appropriate treads or non-slip runners • Keep electrical cords out of the way by attaching them to walls and under carpets, in order to reduce the possibility of trips and falls

OUTDOOR • Newly-fallen leaves pose a risk for seniors by providing a slippery surface that makes the area prime for falls. Have leaves raked (by a support worker, neighbour or loved one) and cleared as soon as they appear • Monitor the weather and be prepared: Have a plan in place to spread ice salt to steps and walkways before venturing outdoors on a frosty morning • Cracked or uneven stairs or walkways are unsafe for seniors. Check for any bumps and have them repaired • Ensure that sturdy handrails are installed on both sides of outdoor stairs For more information about supports and community services for seniors, contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888

Chow and Tory discuss LGBT issues at proudTOvote debate Issue of funding for Pride Parade carries over from earlier debate DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com John Tory and Olivia Chow finished their Friday evening debate on lesbian, gay, bi and transgender (LGBT) issues wearing hot pink boas and waving at the packed lecture hall at Ryerson University – after a day in which the two mayoral candidates differed sharply on the funding of the city’s annual Pride parade. The debate, hosted by proudTOvote, came hours after the two had locked horns on the funding question at an afternoon debate hosted by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. There, Tory said he would oppose funding Pride parades – a $160,000 commitment of funds and services – if organizers permitted the group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid to participate. Chow maintained city

council had already dealt with the issue, on the advice of the city manager and the city lawyer, and concluded the group’s message critical of Israel’s policy toward Palestinians was not hate speech. At the evening event, the matter came up again. “I just happen to believe that in a city that prides itself on embracing diversity, I don’t believe that people should be going around spewing hateful language, and that that language should be supported by public funding,” Tory said. He added he felt the same way if a parade were funded in the Jewish community that included a group that was virulently anti-gay. Chow maintained the stakes were too high when it comes to funding the Pride parade. “I don’t understand why we would revisit this decision,”

she said. “It was a very divisive discussion in the community. I can’t imagine what message we’d be sending if they lost their funding. What message would be sending to the Pride organizers?” The debate otherwise ranged to a happy consensus, as both Chow and Tory made it clear they had both connections and respect for Toronto’s LGBT community. Both agreed the city needs to fund health programs for

people living with AIDS, either at or if necessary above the rate of inflation. Both agreed the city needs to do much to educate the public against transphobia (transgender). Early on, when asked which city they saw as a leader in LGBT communities, Tory listed off Milan, Tel Aviv and Seattle, but finally settled on San Francisco. “It isn’t just the history, but it is because if you look they have the largest gay archive

– a whole bunch of things – and they have started to look at seniors in the LGBT community,” he said. Chow thought about San Francisco, New York, Barcelona and Madrid, but she maintained Toronto has few if any equals in its promotion of its LGBT community. “Right here on Church Street,” she said. “That’s my definition of the LGBT community.” Chow also suggested she would work to create a homeless shelter for LGBT youth. “I know the community well enough to know that homeless youth is very, very vulnerable,” she said. Tory maintained the city needed to look to federal and provincial support in order to expand programs for young people. “It’s increasingly important that we have the kinds of reliable partnerships – stable, consistent partnerships – in all of these areas,” he said. “Whether it’s on the health

care side, support for seniors and young people – or other things we have tonight.” Chow, however, maintained it was entirely possible to start those programs without any help but the city’s. “In the 1990s, my office helped start the lesbian and gay youth hotline,” she said. “Administratively my office provided the phones and the space to start (and) then they were able to stand on their own and find space. Sure, later on the United Way and other governments came on board. But it’s important when there’s a need... let’s take the leadership and get it started. If it’s right other governments will come in.” Chow and Tory were the only mayoral candidates on stage. Rob Ford had not responded to an invitation, and Doug Ford, who entered the mayor’s race following his brother’s illness, declined the invitation.

Full house for mayoral debate on disability issues MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Governments can only do so much when it comes to improving the lives of people with disabilities, John Tory says. The frontrunner to be Toronto’s next mayor told an audience he would be a powerful advocate for the disabled if elected, but private companies are often ahead of governments in hiring people with disabilities. “People have to decide to do the right thing,” argued the former Rogers CEO, who said many citizens simply aren’t aware of the challenges people with disabilities face. In contrast, rival candidate Olivia Chow, speaking to an overflowing crowd Monday at Ryerson University’s Tecumseh Auditorium, stressed the city government’s power to change the lives of the disabled. The city can, when it signs contracts or buys from suppliers, require those companies to hire or train people with different abilities, Chow said, adding she also wants all city projects to reach

its Disability Issues Committee for comments while they’re still in an early stage. That advisory committee would start issuing a report card and an action plan for improvements each year, with the city itemizing how much each item will cost. “If they don’t tell you, then it won’t get done,” Chow said. Candidate Doug Ford told organizers he couldn’t attend. Tory, also a former Progressive Conservative leader for Ontario, said governments have made “halting” progress toward accessibility. “We’ve set targets that proved to be moving targets, and those are not good,” he said. The most talked-about moving target at the debate, entirely about disability issues, was the TTC’s schedule to make its subway stations fully accessible. Though the city’s transit authority in recent years made its bus fleet wheelchair and scooter friendly, it must still retrofit 17 stations by 2025 to comply with a provincial law, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The TTC committed itself to ret-

We don’t just need to be cared for; we also do a lot of caring ourselves. – West end resident

rofit nine stations by 2018, but this year the money for the work was withdrawn during the budget process, said David Lepofsky, chair of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance said. Lepofsky asked Chow and Tory whether they would make sure the withdrawing of funds doesn’t happen again. Chow promised to meet the province’s deadline, but said the Scarborough subway extension was “eating up all the TTC budget,” and she would replace the project with a less-expensive light-rail line to fund the station retrofits. Tory said it was “ridiculous” to say the accessibility money was redirected to the extension. He promised to speed the retrofitting work, perhaps by “shaming” other governments to contribute more. D e b a t e m o d e r a t o r He l e n Henderson asked candidates for

specifics on increasing the city’s affordable housing, since most people with disabilities rent, and many, she said, are “forced into homes that are inadequate, unaffordable and, most tragically, inaccessible.” Chow said she supports exclusionary zoning requiring 20 per cent of residential units to be affordable, including some fully accessible, with approvals for such projects coming within a year. Tory said city taxpayers can’t bear the burden of constructing affordable housing alone, but the city’s housing authority and Parking Authority can sell land to builders who would put up affordable housing, including accessible units. Some of the hundreds jammed into the space, many watching sign language interpreters or real time captioning, called for services Toronto doesn’t yet provide, such as captioning and sign language interpretation during all televised city announcements. A woman from the west end, who is legally blind, said members of “disabled families” need access to a full range of city programs, too. “We don’t just need to be cared for; we

also do a lot of caring ourselves,” she said. Neither candidate made clear how the city can fund large numbers of improvements its residents with disabilities and their families might want, though Chow brought up her proposed municipal land transfer tax increase for people buying homes for $2 million or more. Both Chow and Tory resisted the idea of having all residents pay more in property taxes to fund improvements for people with disabilities. Ari Goldkind, another mayoral candidate, later said this meant both had “shunned their responsibilities to people who need help the most.” “They pretend that we’re an overtaxed city,” said Goldkind, a lawyer who wasn’t invited to join the debate, but said for “50 cents a day” – the average amount he said residents would pay through a five per cent property tax increase - the city could be more caring and compassionate towards the disabled.

Paralympians aim to level playing field for students with disabilities

CLEAROUT MODELS

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Paralympians Victoria Nolan and Josh Dueck visited Sloane Public School Thursday, Sept. 18 to launch a resource available for elementary school teachers across Canada to make physical education classes inclusive for children of all abilities. It’s something Nolan, who is the co-author of the Paralympic FUNdamentals resource program, said she wished existed when she grew up visually impaired. “As a child, I wasn’t able to participate in sports,” said Nolan, recalling she often practised on her own in the hallway. “I just thought it was something I couldn’t do. As I got older, my self-esteem started to plummet.” Back to life But then she heard about Brian McKeever, a visually impaired skier who won two gold medals in the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, Italy, and decided to give para-rowing a try. “It really brought me back to life,” said Nolan, who competed in both the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games and is currently a Toronto special education teacher. Now she’s hoping children, both able-bodied and with disabilities, can participate in sports activities together aided by the physical literacy resource she wrote with Stephanie Bowerman, a York University course director specializing in adapted physical activity. The Canadian Paralympic Committee along with Physical and Health Education Canada unveiled the resource at the North York school, which was one of 42 schools that has participated in the pilot project for the past year. “It was super easy to follow,” said Beth Ritchie, a teacher at Sloane, who used the resource for the past year and taught her students to

Police this week arrested the alleged triggerman wanted in connection with the execution-style murder of 25-yearold Neeko Mitchell outside a north Etobicoke community centre late last year. Mitchell was gunned down in what police have called a “targeted” shooting on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2013, shortly after arriving at the North Kipling Community Centre near Kipling and Finch West avenues at around 8:11 p.m. Shortly after the shooting, police released the images of three suspects – two males and one female – captured by numerous closed-circuit cameras at the city-run community centre on the night of Mitchell’s murder.

Hayles-Wilson was arrested Monday and has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with Mitchell’s murder, Toronto’s 53rd homicide of 2013. His capture follows the June 23 arrest of Tyrone Michael Knott who’s been charged with accessory after the fact to murder for his alleged role in assisting Hayles-Wilson in the immediate time period after Mitchell’s murder. At the time, a Canadawide arrest warrant had been issued for a third suspect, 28-year-old Kashana Duncan, who is wanted for the offence of accessory after the fact to murder for her alleged role in assisting Hayles-Wilson. She has not yet been apprehended.

Exceeding Expectations For Over 90 Years

Mapping Toronto’s 10 million trees JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With an estimated 10 million trees in the City of Toronto, University of Toronto postdoctoral fellow Mathew Brown’s goal of mapping out each and every one of them is certainly a tall task. Brown has created a website that aims to locate and identify each and every tree within the confines of the city, something he said was prompted in part by a push by Mayor Rob Ford to cut into Toronto’s tree planting budget. “He didn’t seem to know the value of trees,” he said. “They’re CO2 absorbing so they offer air pollution benefits and temperature regulating benefits.” The City of Toronto has a tree database, but Brown said he believed it to be out of date and outright inaccurate in many cases. When he posted his website on popular news aggregate website Reddit, using the city’s tree database as a starting point, those suspicions were confirmed. “Right away, I started getting quite a few comments and quite a few emails,” he said. “A lot of people started noticing the tree database isn’t correct and my site allows them to move trees or change trees to the right species.” Brown borrowed the computer code for his project from a tree map in Oakland, California, and has mapped more than half a million of the city’s trees. The city’s tree canopy has been altered greatly in recent years, not just due to new plantings but also due to trees being felled by last winter’s ice storm, beetle infestations and age. “By using crowd sourc-

ing, it’s a good way to keep track of the changes that have happened and that continue to happen,” Brown said. He is urging the public to check out the map and move trees that are located in the wrong spot. He will soon add features allowing the public to remove or re-label trees to properly identify them, and to add private trees to the map. Doing so will take but a minute of a user’s time, though users will have to sign up to use the site and data added or changed will be tracked to ensure the database remains accurate. “People can take a picture and geotag it so they can get the exact location right away, and there are a lot of ways to identify what kind of tree it is,” he said. Brown knows the value of a good tree canopy. He lives near Kew Gardens in the Beach and notices the stark contrast between the neighbourhood he calls home and the downtown core he frequents as a U of T student. “I think the nicest, oldest trees in the city are in (the Beach) but when you go downtown, it’s very urban – there’s a lot of concrete,” he said. T h e To ro n t o Tree Map project gives Brown a chance to use his own experience while exploring two of his passions. He has a background in climate change science and is studying computer science, with a focus on web development and data visualization. He is hoping to use the data collected to plot native versus non-native species and use satellite information to map carbon dioxide and other data.

Test results show reading and writing improving, math faltering While grades 3 and 6 students showed improvements in reading and writing, the recent Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results also showed mathematics proved to be more of a challenge. The EQAO results released this week have shown the percentage of Grade 3 students who performed at or above the provincial standard increased by 11 per cent in reading (from

60 to 71 per cent) and by 10 per cent in writing (from 70 to 80 per cent) over the past five years. The Grade 6 students showed similar improvement in reading (eight per cent increase in reading from 69 to 77 per cent) and in writing (10 per cent increase from 70 to 80 per cent). “Students and staff should be proud of these results. We have set ambitious goals

because we know that our students can achieve great things when we believe in their success,” said Donna Quan, Toronto District School Board (TDSB) director of education, in a statement. In the same five-year period, the EQAO results showed Grade 3 students remained the same in math (71 per cent), while the Grade 6 students who performed at or above the provincial

standard decreased by four per cent (from 63 to 59 per cent). New initiatives A statement from the TDSB stated that EQAO data will continue to be used to develop initiatives that support the success of every student. It further noted the TDSB Years of Action plan has set

“an ambitious goal of increasing provincial literacy and numeracy achievement results by 10 per cent for Grades 3 and 6.” “It also provides important insight into where programs may need to be strengthened and/or resources directed,” the statement read, highlighting initiatives that are already in place including the new TDSB math strategy (http:// www.tdsb.on.ca/HighSchool/

YourSchoolDay/Curriculum/ Mathematics.aspx) “These essential results speak to improvement, as well as guide us as we continue to pursue increased achievement by creating the right programs and initiatives to help all TDSB students succeed,” said TDSB Chair Mari Rutka in a release.

Runner hopes to break record for fastest time in costume at marathon LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Avid marathon r unner Bridget Burns is aiming for yet another Guinness World Record. Running in support of the High Park Zoo during the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon set for Sunday, Oct. 19, the 32-yearold High Park area resident will be wearing a zoo-keeper uniform and will be carrying a backpack full of stuffed zoo animals she’ll hand out to cheering children along the route. Burns said she was one of many residents – local and Toronto-wide – who were worried about the zoo’s fate two years ago when the city yanked its funding. That’s what prompted her to step up and run in the name of the High Park Zoo. “I thought it’d be a good cause,” said Burns, who has been running for 10 years.

In May, Burns ran in the GoodLife Fitness Toronto Marathon and was deemed the fastest female dressed as a boxer, garnering her first Guinness World Record. “I like to test my limits,” she said about her love of running. Running in a costume makes a marathon more difficult, Burns said, but “it’s what makes it unique.” “It’s a great way to raise awareness about a cause,” said Burns, who moved from London to the area two years ago for its running scene. Cheering section To help cheer Burns on, the Friends of High Park Zoo, on behalf of the neighbourhood of Swansea-Bloor West Village-High Park, will host a neighbourhood cheering section at Ellis Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard between 8:45 and 11:15 a.m. Oct. 19. There will be a DJ, live

entertainment, including a local family who sings a fourpart harmony, said Simone Stock, Friends of High Park Zoo vice-chair. Burns will be running along with three other ‘neighbourhood champions’ including Charles Jewell, a lifelong High Park area resident. Also running are: Sean Russell, who lives near High Park and has been taking his children to the zoo since before they could walk – his eldest is 15. This year will be Russell’s fourth Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Mike Hassan may not live in the neighbourhood, but he’s been visiting the zoo since before he could walk. The downtown resident started running five years ago and will be running his second waterfront marathon.
